Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

In the blink of an eye, it is already March in the spring.

The weeping willows in the courtyard have already sprouted tender buds, and the clear spring in the pond is gushing with water.

After Li Yingxue washed the spirit rice with spring water several times, she poured the rice water under the willow tree and looked up, smiling at the touch of green.

"In my hometown, planting willow trees in the courtyard is considered unlucky!"

Lin Xiu lazily sat under the eaves, playing with an erhu in his hand.

This is the one he recently made, using high-quality paulownia wood, with strings made from the mane of a mythical beast, and the drumhead made from the softest skin of a spirit python.

"That's a strange belief."

Qin Yawen carefully selected the vegetables, then turned and entered the kitchen.

Lin Xiu pondered for a moment,

Yes, giving someone a willow branch as a farewell gift represents friendship, not sending a friend to the underworld.

Then he crossed his legs and started playing "Erquan Yingyue".

Li Yingxue tapped her forehead,

"Husband, this piece is too unpleasant, play something more cheerful!"

Lin Xiu stopped playing the piece and pretended to be angry, "Do you want me to play 'Gallop on Horseback' again?"

Thinking back to the galloping last night,

Li Yingxue couldn't help but rub her waist, leaning against the tree trunk and laughing, pointing with her chin to the small building in the backyard.

"Husband, go and tame that horse, then Wen'er and I can have some peace."

Lin Xiu immediately deflated,

Shaking his head, he said, "Keep your voice down, that woman... she has very sharp ears! Besides, that horse is wild and difficult to tame. It's better for me not to get involved, so as not to break my old waist!"

He had set a standard for his concubines.

They must be obedient and pleasant-looking. As long as their appearance is pleasing to the eye, they meet the standard.

Their cultivation level must not be higher than his own. In this world, if someone's cultivation level is higher than yours, it means losing the initiative. How can one uphold the principles of being a husband?

There was also a hidden worry,

He was worried that he couldn't break through the defenses of a high-level female cultivator...

Thirdly, they must not have a strong background!

After such a long time of contact, it is highly possible that Ji Ning's mysterious father is a Gold Core cultivator from the Purple Cloud Sect. He had no hope of marrying Ji Ning unless he became a son-in-law and made Li Yingxue give up her position as the legal wife.

That would be the best outcome.

The worst outcome would be getting crushed by someone with a single finger!

"How dare a small independent cultivator try to woo my daughter, die!"

Regarding the current Purple Cloud Sect,

His view had long changed from longing to fear. He couldn't afford to take such risks as walking into the tiger's den.

By the way,

A month ago, he finally reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

There were no signs at that time. He was testing the sturdiness of the bed when the panel displayed "(Upgrade Available)".

But at a critical moment, he accidentally clicked on it.

Then, he picked up Qin Yawen...

The lever principle finally became unscientific in the face of cultivation...

In this way, he barely matched Ji Ning's cultivation level, both at the sixth level of Qi Refining, not inferior to the other party.

Otherwise, Ji Ning would have taken all three of these conditions!

Li Yingxue coughed a few times.

Lin Xiu seemed not to hear and added,

"I estimate that she will leave after she recovers from her injuries. We can have this small courtyard all to ourselves for a year. What a great deal!"

After saying that, he placed the bow of the erhu on the strings again.

"Lin Xiu, how shameless of you! Why should you leave? I've paid the rent!"

Suddenly, Ji Ning's voice came from above.

Lin Xiu rolled his eyes and looked up, then picked up the erhu and went into the building.

Li Yingxue carried the rice basin and looked at Ji Ning sitting on the roof of the building, smiling, "Fellow Daoist Ji, you climbed onto the roof of my house..."

Ji Ning floated over in a few steps and jumped straight to the center of the courtyard. She was still wearing the same black robe as before, with a flat chest and a trembling Adam's apple.

"It's more troublesome to go around. It's faster to jump straight to the front."

Li Yingxue: ...

The two of them walked into the middle room of the small building together, and Lin Xiu turned his back to them, carefully wiping the erhu.

With that focused expression, it seemed like the erhu was embedded with top-grade spirit stones.

Li Yingxue smiled, turned around, and entered the kitchen.

Ji Ning took a few steps forward and sat down on the chair next to Lin Xiu as if she owned it.

"I don't need you to take care of me!"

"Pfft!"

Lin Xiu couldn't pretend anymore and sat on another chair, helplessly extending three fingers.

"I've already said it's been three months. I really didn't do it on purpose!"

"It doesn't matter. I also want to see what happens. After all, it's just a physical body, not much different from your two wives!"

After saying that, her chest suddenly popped out without any warning!

Lin Xiu dropped the erhu on the ground.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, I suddenly have a stomachache. I'll leave you two alone!"

Heading straight to the second floor.

"Heh, as expected, timid as a mouse!"

Ji Ning spat, her chest instantly calming down, then walked to the kitchen.

"Ladies, what would you like to eat today?"

.....

Ji Ning didn't move away, and continued to eat and drink as usual.

However, there was an additional project, which was to tease Lin Xiu.

In response, Li Qin's two daughters chose to play along.

Early in the morning, just like every day, Lin Xiu opened the storage bag and counted the spirit stones.

Three dazzling top-grade spirit stones, radiating with brilliance.

This was pure profit!

He smiled with satisfaction.

Just another three and a half months, with a little effort, as long as there were no major expenses along the way, he would be able to leave Qianjue Peak in a little over a year!

Now, he already had most of the ship ticket in hand, feeling relaxed.

After finishing the porridge, while pondering about the treasure pavilion's coveted brush, Ji Ning took a step into the small building, picked up a large jar of rice porridge from the table, and finished it in one gulp.

This was specially left for her by Li Yingxue.

Lin Xiu sighed.

"Graceful, indeed!"

Ji Ning put her hands on her hips.

"Haven't you always wanted to ask me why I was so badly injured, and what happened after the massacre formation?"

Lin Xiu shrugged.

"Wasn't it that the formation severely injured two demonic beasts, and the six Nascent Soul cultivators from the six major sects beat them up, and in the end, when they were fighting for the Emerald Nascent Soul, they were blown half to death? It's already widely spread in the streets!"

Then, he glanced at her.

"Miss, you're not going to tell me that you were one of those six Nascent Soul old monsters, right?"

Ji Ning fell silent for a moment and nodded.

"I didn't have the ability to participate, I was just ambushed while trying to snatch the remains of the demonic beasts. But that person didn't have a good time either!"

Then she threw a storage bag embroidered with orchids onto the table.

"This thing will count as payment, I want to see what secrets are hidden in that secret realm!"

Lin Xiu stared at the storage bag for a long time, then finally gave up trying to stop Ji Ning.

Everyone has their own way of living, and he didn't have the qualification to interfere.

Qin Yawen bounced in front of him, picked up the storage bag, and poured out a "marrow pearl" from it.

Each pearl was no bigger than a soybean, emitting a green light, and when thrown into the spirit rice jar, they couldn't be distinguished from each other.

"Ah, I'm useless, I can't refine this!"

Lin Xiu had provided her with a large amount of medicinal materials to practice with, but now her alchemy level had reached the lower tier, and it was indeed a waste to give her high-grade medicinal materials.

Moreover, the things she refined seemed to be a bit off.

The Fasting Pill made Lin Xiu hungrier the more he ate.

But thinking about it the other way around, it wasn't bad.

He could eat it like hawthorn pills to increase his appetite.

The Nurturing Spirit Pill, used to replenish spiritual consciousness, made him more and more sleepy the more he ate.

His sea of consciousness seemed to open floodgates, rushing out like a torrent...

This seemed to be...

Could it be used as a love potion?

Li Yingxue had already washed the bowls and chopsticks, and after coming out of the kitchen, she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Ah, Ji Ning may seem carefree, but her face is not! Just a few dozen pearls, why use a storage bag that can hold more than ten barrels of rice?"

Qin Yawen suddenly realized.

"Ji Fellow Daoist is really cunning, not only did she please her sister with the pearls, but she also conveniently handed over the token of love to her husband. Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

"What token of love? You're so full of it!"

Lin Xiu picked up the ink orchid storage bag and headed straight for the door.

Qin Yawen chased after him, "Husband, you're really clueless, you're not going to return it, are you?"

"Return what? I'm going to find Old Ge and see if he can refine a pill that will help Xue'er in her martial arts!"
