Main Body ：

This was a peaceful place where few disciples usually came to practice. The emerald bamboo forest was dotted with small wooden houses for the ordinary servants to live in. The gentle breeze swayed the whole bamboo forest, causing the rustling sound of the verdant bamboo leaves.

A refreshing and clean air flowed over. Anna's white dress fluttered in the wind, making her look elegant and otherworldly. Her black and thick hair, delicate skin, and watery eyes gazed at David as she said, "You are just a mortal, and the Source has no use for you."

"Although I'm just a mortal, I know the value of this thing. As immortal cultivators, you all attach great importance to it. How can you say it's useless to me?" David held the Source in his hand and laughed, "It contains a lot of life essence, and I think for a mortal like me, it should enhance longevity, right?"

"A mortal like you using the Source to prolong life is indeed a waste," a few young men and women standing nearby looked displeased.

"If you want to increase your lifespan and strengthen your body, there are many other ways to do it. You can exchange this Source for some hundred-herbs potion to consume." Anna suggested.

"Yes, if you are willing to give up this piece of Source, we will make you satisfied." These young men and women all said the same thing, lured by the temptation of the Source, and they were eager to trade it.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to exchange it. I'm not interested in what you just said." David refused flatly and decisively. He could not hand over the Source, no matter what.

These young men and women all changed their faces. The meaning of the Source was incredibly pivotal to them. It was a waste when it was under control of a mortal. They all wanted to take it for themselves.

Anna stood quietly there, her white dress fluttering, and her beautiful hair swaying in the wind. She said, "You don't know what it means for a mortal to possess the Source. It's not about wealth. It will only bring disasters to you. You're just an ordinary person and can't protect it at all."

"Do you still want to rob me?" David put away the Source and looked at the few people in front of him. Except for Anna's indifferent expression, the other young men and women all looked at him in an unfriendly manner, staring at him intently.

"Just now, even the second most powerful expert in the Purple Yang Immortal Sect didn't exert any pressure. Do you still want to force me?" Anna's words were calm and unruffled. She continued, "It's no longer a secret that you have a piece of Source. Even if you can escape unharmed for a while, your future will be uncertain."

"So, are you saying that I can only choose to exchange it?" David nodded and said, "If you trade it with the immortal cultivators, you will enjoy endless benefits and live a wealthy life without having to struggle. You will have fame and fortune for all your life."

"I'm not sure your abilities are so high that you can refine the life essence contained in the Source." Seeing that David's attitude seemed to have softened, the few people by his side spoke in unison.

"Although we cannot refine it directly, we can hand it over to our elders in the sect," they continued.

"The expert just now has a deep understanding of the principles of nature. He is the second strongest in our Purple Sun Cave Heaven and had once helped Senior Sister Anna restore her youth. If Senior Sister Anna can offer this source offering to him today, she will surely be more appreciated. We can also get closer to that senior and listen to his teachings." David smiled but said nothing, looking at Anna.

"Yes, I do want to give this source offering to that senior." Anna looked calm, tucking her hair behind her ear, and gazed at David. "I won't owe you anything, and you will be satisfied."

David shook his head and smiled blandly. "Just like before."

David did not refute him. She took a few steps forward and stared at David. "I know you are confident, capable, and unwilling to be an ordinary person. But that is the reality. Your physical constitution cannot cultivate, and you can only be an ordinary person. I hope you can be at peace with being an ordinary person, do not think too much and be sober.Let go of those unrealistic fantasies. The source offering has no use to you. Accept reality and being an ordinary person is also a kind of happiness."

"It seems that we do not really know each other." David did not say more.

"People always strive for upward progress, but immortals and mortals are two different worlds." Anna paused slightly and said, "Immortals and mortals are two different worlds."

"Immortals and mortals are two different worlds." David smiled and casually spoke.

"Who knows what the future holds? Maybe I will appear on your path one day, and then do not get surpassed by this ordinary person."

The young disciples of Purple Sun Cave Heaven beside them showed some surprised expressions, feeling that their conversation was unusual, not as simple as neighboring neighbors. Especially David, who did not seem like an 11 or 12-year-old child.

"However, I will not give up this source offering. Please leave."David made a gesture of asking them to leave and directly sent them away.

"You..." The faces of the young disciples of Purple Sun Cave Heaven did not look good. Anna turned to leave and looked back at David before saying, "Accept reality and be an ordinary person soon."

Suddenly, chaos erupted outside the Purple Sun Cave Heaven, with shouts and cries followed by Red Rays cutting through the sky. Distant, cultivators had started a great battle.

"Let's go and take a look." Several young disciples from the Bamboo Grove quickly rushed out.

David's heart jumped when he heard that someone was bypassing the mountain gate. He instantly thought of the Knight from the Jiang family and decided to hide among the crowd to see what was happening and prepare early.

At this moment, Purple Sun Cave Heaven was in disarray, and many cultivators ran towards the mountain gate. When David arrived, several people had already been heavily injured and were being carried away.

"Who is so daring to sneak into the Purple Sun Cave Heaven and even fight back when caught?"

"It's a powerful knight, riding on a terrifying exotic beast, defeating five of our Purple Sun Cave Heaven's top experts and almost breaking through. Now he has been stopped by our senior uncle."

Listening to the discussions of others, David could almost confirm that the knight from the Jiang family had arrived here. "What a persistent fellow," he frowned.

At that moment, cheers came from ahead, and someone shouted, "Senior uncle is really powerful, he captured the terrifying knight." A middle-aged man in his thirties strode through the void and walked back calmly. He was Purple Sun Cave Heaven's second strongest expert, and David had seen him not long ago. He brought back a savage beast and an unconscious knight and threw them heavily on the ground, saying, "Take him into the prison first."

"It's time to leave. Purple Sun Cave Heaven has done me a big favor, and it's best to keep this hot bomb knight for a few more days," David imagined that when the people of the Purple Sun Cave Heaven found out the knight's identity, they would definitely regret it.

David walked out of Purple Sun Cave Heaven's mountain gate and ran quickly towards the mountains outside. But at this moment, several people noticed his departure, looked at each other, and chased after him.

"If I can survive this calamity, I'll find a quiet place to practice," David had encountered a series of events and urgently hoped to become stronger. He longed for unparalleled power. When he ran out for dozens of miles, he gradually felt that something was wrong. Someone was following him, and their speed was not slower than his. They were about to catch up.

His heart sank. In a flash, he rushed into a chaotic stone forest, hid behind a huge rock, and looked back.

"It's him." The person who came was in his mid-twenties, one of Anna's senior brothers. He had recently had his eye on David's source. He was fast and had entered the stone forest in the blink of an eye.

"I see you. Come out. Leave the source, and I'll give you a way out."

"Sure enough, he wants to steal my source." David didn't move behind the boulder. This person was not weak; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to catch up with him.

"Even if he gets the source, he definitely won't spare me. Since that's the case, I might as well take the initiative." David made a decision.

"If you don't come out now, after I find you, don't blame me for not giving you a way out."

This person was very cautious. He felt that David's speed was too fast, almost shaking him off. As a mortal, this was somewhat abnormal.

When this person turned to the vicinity of the boulder, a golden light suddenly rose and cut through the void, and with a "whoosh," it swept past him.

"Spurt!" Blood splattered, and a head rolled down. The headless body's blood spurted up, nearly two meters high, and then crashed to the ground with a "thump."

David retrieved the golden book, and just as he was about to leave, several shadows appeared behind him, quickly approaching. He hastily glanced back before flying away. He didn't know if Anna was among them. The vegetation in the mountains was lush, making it difficult to see clearly.

"I hope you're not behind me." David flew away without looking back.
