How many days can the top rich boyfriend live?

Chapter 551: Immortal Cultivation is Not an Easy Task

As the night deepens, the stars become smaller than beans.

The wind on the lookout tower still blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it was no longer as wild as before.

Lu Qing and Jiang Luo leaned against the railing side by side, their bodies still pressed together, as if the intensity of the moment had not yet completely dissipated.

Jiang Luo's head rested lightly on Lu Qing's shoulder, her breathing gradually became steady, her face still flushed.

Lu Qing looked down at him, stretched out his hand to brush away the sweat-soaked hair on his forehead, his movements were so gentle and gentle that they were completely different from his previous strong attitude. Jiang Luo raised his eyes slightly, met Lu Qing's gaze, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Tired?" Lu Qing's voice was low and lazily.

"Yeah." Jiang Luo responded softly, his voice a little hoarse, "You are full of energy."

Lu Qing chuckled and gently stroked Jiang Luo's waist with his fingers, "You are too fragile."

Jiang Luo rolled her eyes at him but didn't refute. She just leaned her head on his shoulder again, closed her eyes, and felt the caress of the night breeze.

Lu Qing didn't say anything else, but just wrapped his arms tighter, as if he was afraid that he would slip away from him.

In the distance, the city lights were still bright, and the star-like light reflected on the two people, as if covering them with a soft halo.

Occasionally, on the street at the foot of the mountain not far away, a few car horns could be heard, but they seemed distant and vague, as if they had nothing to do with them.

"What do you think those people are busy with down there?" Jiang Luo suddenly spoke, his voice so soft that it was almost blown away by the wind.

Lu Qing followed his gaze and looked into the distance, and said lightly: "Who knows, maybe he is struggling for life."

"Life..." Jiang Luo repeated in a low voice, with a hint of emotion in his tone, "Sometimes I feel that our lives are no different from theirs, but they also seem completely different."

Lu Qing turned his head to look at him, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "Do you want to live an ordinary life?"

Jiang Luo shook his head. "I don't think so. I just sometimes think that life might be simpler."

Lu Qing was silent for a moment, and then he gently pinched Jiang Luo's waist with his fingers, "A simple life may not be suitable for us."

Jiang Luo smiled and didn't respond. He knew that Lu Qing was right. Their world was never simple, full of dangers and calculations, but it was also this kind of world that made them stick together.

"Do you think the stars in the sky will also think we are strange?" Jiang Luo suddenly raised his head and looked at the stars in the night sky.

Lu Qing followed his gaze and said calmly, "Stars can't think."

"How do you know?" Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows. "Maybe they are watching us too, and think it's weird for two grown men to be so affectionate here."

Lu Qing looked down at him with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Do you think we are being annoying?"

Jiang Luo felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and turned his head away, "Isn't it?"

Lu Qing chuckled, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and turned his face around, "Even if it's annoying, I'm happy with it."

Jiang Luo blushed a little at his straightforward gaze and tried to dodge, but was held firmly by Lu Qing, unable to move. He could only sigh helplessly, "You are always like this, so overbearing that no one can do anything about it."

"You don't like it?" Lu Qing's voice was low and contained a hint of danger.

Jiang Luo looked at him, a smile flashing in his eyes, "I like it, okay?"

Lu Qing then let go of his hand with satisfaction and hugged him again. Jiang Luo leaned on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly felt that at such a moment, even if he just said some meaningless words, it would make people feel extremely relieved.

"Lu Qing." Jiang Luo suddenly called softly.

"Ok?"

"If one day we have to separate, what will you do?"

Lu Qing's body stiffened slightly, then he looked down at him, his eyes were cold, yet a little flustered, "That day will never come. I will do my best to keep us together forever."

Jiang Luo raised his head and met his gaze, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes, "I mean if."

Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "No ifs. I won't let that happen."

Jiang Luo looked at him and suddenly smiled, "You are still as unreasonable as in your last life."

Lu Qing did not respond, but just hugged her tighter, as if to prove his determination with action. Jiang Luo did not ask any more questions, but just leaned in his arms, feeling his body temperature, and felt peaceful in his heart.

The night wind still blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not cool the warmth between the two. The lights in the distance were still bright, as if lighting the way for their future.

And they just snuggled together quietly, talking about meaningless words, but felt extremely satisfied.

Perhaps, this is the tacit understanding between them - no need for too many words, just each other's presence is enough.

Before he knew it, Jiang Luo fell asleep, and when he woke up again it was already the next morning.

They had a romantic night, but their friends downstairs were very anxious. The four teams searched for the whole night, but Yuan Haokun and his friends were very anxious, but they still couldn't find it.

It was not until Jiang Luo woke up and saw the news in the group that he realized they had been missing for a whole night. His friends were almost going crazy, worrying that they had been taken away by the ruler of the world of 2073.

Jiang Luo hurriedly sat up and replied to them: "Sorry, sorry, I fell asleep! I won't do this again! I'm really sorry to everyone!"

Lin Shishuang saw Jiang Luo replying to the message in the group, and immediately called out to Xiao Shuai and Chu Jianglan who were not far away: "Don't look for them anymore, the boss replied! I told you! They both disappeared at the same time, they must have gone on a date, there's no need for us to worry about it! Oh, let's go!"

Yuan Haokun replied in the group: "Boss, Boss! Next time if there is something, please let us know, otherwise we will be worried to death!"

Jiang Luo replied weakly: "Okay, okay, got it, I promise this kind of thing won't happen again!"

He rolled his eyes at Lu Qing, but Lu Qing stood beside him calmly, flexing his muscles like the coolest man in the world. As the son of an ancient god, he looked like a peacock with its tail spread out.

Jiang Luo gently pushed him and said, "Get up. We have something important to do today."

Lu Qing was shirtless. He stretched out his arms and pulled Jiang Luo back into his arms. His voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up. "Let me hold you for another five minutes!"

Jiang Luo sighed helplessly, with a hint of calmness in his tone that would not tolerate rejection, "Don't make a fuss, today is the enrollment event of Xiuxian Academy, the online admission channel has been opened, we have to go and deal with it."

Lu Qing then reluctantly opened his eyes, loosened his arms and sat up, rubbed his messy hair, and said helplessly: "Hey, you didn't have this attitude last night!"

Jiang Luo's cheeks flushed, and he gritted his teeth and cursed, "Shut up! Don't mention this in front of outsiders, do you hear me?"

Lu Qing chuckled, bent down and kissed him on the lips, and said, "No, don't worry!"

The two quickly packed up and flew down from the observation deck. Yuan Haokun and Lin Shishuang were already waiting in the conference room. There were several computers on the table, and the screen displayed the admission system interface of the Xiuxian Academy official website.

"Boss, you're finally here!" Yuan Haokun stood up immediately when he saw them. "The registration channel has just been opened for ten minutes, and the number of applicants has exceeded ten thousand. We have to hurry up and screen them."

Jiang Luo nodded, walked to the computer and sat down, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, his tone calm and decisive, "According to the previous plan, first screen out applicants who meet the basic requirements, focusing on their background and potential."

Lu Qing stood behind him, scanning the data on the screen: "We won't recruit too many people for the first time, but we can only pick out the high-level spiritual roots from the best, so we're not afraid of too many people signing up. It's just that it would be a bit time-consuming to screen them, so it would be great if there was a way to let them test their spiritual roots themselves."

"Test your spiritual roots yourself?" Jiang Luo turned to look at Lu Qing, thinking that his suggestion was very good. He pinched his chin as if thinking: "Is there a way, like a test paper, to test it with a drop of blood?"

Lu Qing thought about it and said, "You can let Prunella Vulgaris try. He has nothing to do now anyway."

Jiang Luo agreed: "That makes sense! I'll go inform him now! You guys keep busy!"

Everyone quickly got into work mode, and the only sounds left in the conference room were the typing of keyboards and occasional whispered discussions.

Jiang Luo sent them the initial screening criteria. Those whose birth horoscopes clearly indicated violent tendencies, those who would resort to crooked means, and those who would cheat and deceive others would absolutely not be allowed to enter the initial screening.

Jiang Luo looked at the information and worked quickly, and in a short while he eliminated hundreds of applicants.

Xiao Shuai was surprised and asked, "Boss, your speed is too fast, isn't it?"

Jiang Luo didn't even raise his head, and said calmly, "Time is running out. The spiritual root test will be in three days. We have to finalize the list as soon as possible."

Lin Shishuang sighed, "The spiritual root test is the real test. I wonder how many people can pass it this time."

Lu Qing sneered, "The path to immortality is difficult to begin with. Only one in ten thousand can pass the spiritual root test."

Jiang Luo did not respond, but continued to focus on the work in his hands. He knew that the spiritual root test was a key link in the enrollment of the Immortal Cultivation Academy. Only those with spiritual roots could truly embark on the path of immortal cultivation. And the screening they were doing now was just to ensure that those who had a chance to pass the test would not be missed.

He just replied during the break: "The requirements for the first batch are indeed a bit strict. When we get to the second batch, the requirements should be relaxed. After all, if we really use the one in ten thousand selection method, only ten people can be selected from one hundred thousand people. Only one hundred people can be selected from ten million people. The requirements are indeed a bit strict."

At noon, the group had a simple meal and continued to work. It was not until the evening that the preliminary screening work came to an end.

"Almost done." Jiang Luo rubbed his aching neck and glanced at the final list on the screen. "There are a total of 1,200 qualified applicants. The next step is to notify them to take the spiritual root test."

Lu Qing nodded, with a hint of coldness in his tone, "After the notice is sent out, remember to remind them that the spiritual root test is not a joke. Those who are not prepared should not waste their time."

Jiang Luo nodded, "Indeed, not everyone can walk the path of cultivating immortals. After the spiritual test, there are also illusion and character tests. By then, it will be good if 300 of the more than 1,000 people can stay."

Yuan Haokun couldn't help but shudder, "Boss, your tone is too scary. Those applicants will probably be so nervous when they see the notice."

Lin Shishuang shrugged, "It's normal to be nervous. Cultivating immortals is not an easy thing."

Jiang Luo didn't say anything more, just sent out the notification emails one by one. On the screen, emails were sent out quickly, indicating that the enrollment work of Xiuxian Academy officially entered the next stage.

"Okay." Jiang Luo closed the computer, stood up and stretched his stiff body, "The next step is to wait for the spiritual root test in three days."

Lu Qing walked up to him and said in a gentle tone, "I will be there in person on the day of the test."

Jiang Luo nodded, "I'll go too. After all, this is our first official enrollment, and we can't make any mistakes."
