Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Lin Xiu was somewhat worried. After all, he had promised Hong Jie to inform her if anything unexpected happened.

However, he thought that since this person was a senior disciple, he must have many means to protect himself. As long as he didn't act recklessly, his survival rate would be much higher than that of independent cultivators.

He took out the voice transmission token from Hong Jie and explained the situation.

After a while, the voice transmission token vibrated.

"Brother Lin, you just need to tell me everything about him in the courtyard. Don't worry about anything else."

Okay, understood.

Ji Ning's father would definitely not let his son take risks alone. He would probably send someone to protect him.

He really wanted to ask about Hong Jie's current situation. The "Worry Relief Shop" had been occupied, so he needed a place to stay, right?

But after thinking about it, he decided not to ask.

Time passed day by day.

Lin Xiu's arrangements proceeded step by step.

Cultivation, talisman making, cooking and eating with his wives during the day, and drawing lots with them at night...

It was fulfilling.

The thirty-six forms recorded in "Couple's Joy" had already been practiced to perfection. Occasionally, he would add some more intense movements, making it even more wonderful and diverse.

Li Yingxue had been experiencing all the subtle changes that came with entering the Grandmaster realm these days. As a result, she reduced the number of times she entered the bedroom and intentionally let Lin Xiu spend more time with Qin Yawen, deepening their relationship.

Of course, the most important thing was that she hoped her sister would be more ambitious and give birth to children for her husband as soon as possible.

She believed that this was what a legal wife should do.

Compared to the accelerated progress in cultivation that could be achieved through dual cultivation, stability in realm was more important.

The "Rising Moon on the Sea" technique was indeed suitable for women, even though it was only a mental technique and only had one form, "Heavy Wave Strike."

But she had a premonition that if she could break through the Innate and even advance to the Martial Marquis level, it would bring her unexpected changes.

However, just as she stabilized her realm and walked out of the meditation room, she was immediately embraced by a smiling Lin Xiu and taken into the bedroom.

Ah, her husband!

He was really "enthusiastic"...

...

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

Lin Xiu hadn't seen Ji Ning again.

But a few days ago, there were several vibrations in the defensive formation outside the courtyard, indicating that someone had returned.

He didn't pay much attention to these. The relationship between them was like that of roommates who happened to live together. His countless experiences as a low-level independent cultivator had repeatedly proven one thing:

Don't bother with other people's affairs!

Family and friendship in this world were as precious as top-grade spirit stones or even spirit crystals. He just wanted to protect his own little family.

The growth of his spiritual roots brought him endless benefits. Moreover, with the support of the "Couple's Joy" cultivation technique, his cultivation progressed rapidly, and the visible experience was approaching the threshold of 30,000 points.

On this day, after successfully refining a talisman, the panel finally showed a button for upgrading the talismanist skill.

[Talismanist: First Rank Middle Grade 10001/10000 (Upgradeable)!]

Lin Xiu let out a long breath.

He had thought that his cultivation would reach the fifth layer of Qi Refining before his talismanist skill. However, because Li Yingxue had deliberately reduced the number of times she entered the bedroom during this period, it resulted in a breakthrough in his talismanist skill before his cultivation.

After thinking for a moment, he didn't wait to break through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining and directly clicked on the button.

Then, he regretted it!

Pain!

His head hurt terribly!

It felt like his brain was about to split open!

He felt as if a cup filled with water in his mind had burst, and countless droplets of water were suspended in his brain.

Then, countless droplets of water came from the void, compressing and condensing at the same time, finally turning into tiny crystal ice shards and reassembling together.

A larger cup solidified again, containing all the ice shards.

A completely new understanding of talisman making emerged from the depths of his heart, perfectly imprinted in his brain.

Hmm~

Lin Xiu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. The intensity of advancing to the high-grade symbol master was much stronger than when he advanced to the medium-grade.

This is the consequence of forcefully breaking through when the realm is not up to standard!

Fortunately, his Qi Refining Pool in his brain was already very close to the fifth level, becoming more resilient. Otherwise, his brain would have exploded from just this.

Before reaching the later stage of Qi Refining, he absolutely cannot advance to the second rank symbol master. It's too damn scary!

He kept warning himself in his heart.

This system is already imperfect. If it gets destroyed, it would be a disaster.

"Bang!"

A small explosion sound came from the courtyard. Lin Xiu rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly.

"Husband, I exploded again!"

Qin Yawen looked at the thick smoke coming out of the pill furnace with a black face. Her eyes, with distinct black and white colors, blinked as she looked at her husband at the door.

Lin Xiu walked over and gently wiped the pill ash off her face, comforting her, "Exploding the furnace is a process that every alchemist must go through. Your husband suffered even more when refining talismans. Only one out of ten succeeded!"

Qin Yawen's regretful expression immediately turned excited.

"I exploded the furnace ten times, but the other six furnaces had a fifty percent success rate in forming pills. Doesn't that mean I'm a genius?"

Lin Xiu rubbed her hair.

"If your husband says you're good, how can you doubt my words?"

Li Yingxue stood at the door with a vegetable basket and smiled, "Wen'er is the best!"

As she spoke, she made a fist-pumping gesture to cheer her on.

With renewed confidence, Qin Yawen quickly cleaned up the furnace ash and sat with her legs crossed, pointing at the pill furnace in front of her and said, "This genius is going to refine several more Qihuang Pills today. You better cooperate, or else I'll smash you!"

She looked like a little girl.

Li Yingxue shook her head and smiled as she went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Lin Xiu looked at his wife's tsundere expression and felt a little confused.

Although the upper part of Qin Yawen's name "Yawen" had expanded somewhat, it wasn't very obvious.

But when did the lower part "Wen" become "Liu"?

Guilty, guilty!

Six-six, great fortune...

After the three of them had lunch, the wives were chattering in the kitchen, and there was a slight fluctuation in the defensive formation outside the courtyard.

Hmm?

Lin Xiu immediately walked to the door, and the long-lost Jin Ning walked in gracefully.

Ah, this damn effeminate voice!

"Fellow Daoist Jin, long time no see!"

Jin Ning waved her hand at him.

"The tasks of the Purple Cloud Sect are not something a human can handle. I need to rest, let's talk later."

Watching her walk towards the backyard, Lin Xiu suddenly noticed that Jin Ning's high-grade robe had been slightly damaged, indicating that she had encountered some danger.

To be able to damage a robe of this level, she must have encountered a Qi Refining Consummation or Foundation Building stage cultivator or demon beast. Otherwise, with its self-repairing ability, it would have been repaired long ago.

"Experience the hardships of us independent cultivators, you pampered young master. It will help you grow..."

While secretly mocking, he checked his storage bag and walked out of the house.

He had only finished refining more than 800 out of a thousand medium-grade talisman materials.

Originally, his plan was to refine them all to gain experience for reaching the high-grade.

But due to Li Yingxue's breakthrough to the Martial Master realm, the experience returned, and at the same time, the success rate of talisman making reached sixty percent, so he completed the task ahead of schedule.

As soon as he stepped out, he encountered a patrol team led by a late Qi Refining stage man, which gave him a sense of security.

If it were in the previous area, he wouldn't see them even once in ten or twenty days.

However, when he walked into Wangxiang Street and found that the disciples of the Great Zhou's sects seemed to be scarce, he became a little puzzled.

Although he hadn't been out for almost two months, he often saw the flying boats transporting disciples of the Great Zhou's sects in the sky, and the number was definitely not small!

So where did these people go?
