Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

"This sword shall be called Fengming!"

Lin Xiu casually came up with a very ordinary but fitting name.

"Thank you, husband!"

Li Yingxue happily ran to the courtyard to familiarize herself with her precious sword.

Qin Yawen held two flying disc-shaped Law Weapons in her hands,

As they collided with each other, sparks flew and made a "clang" sound.

"Thank you, husband!"

Bo~

She also went out to test her new toy.

Mocked by someone, after obtaining the Fengming Sword, Lin Xiu went to the Ghost Crafts Sect, known as the number one weapon refining sect among the Five Great Sects. He spent thirty medium-grade spirit stones to buy the top-grade "Mother and Child Mysterious Magnetic Rings" from the pair of Law Weapons.

Sharpness was secondary. After infusing spiritual power, it had a somewhat electromagnetic feel, with the ability to open and close in an instant, unpredictable. It suited Qin Yawen's temperament very well.

It only took two days, but he had lost two months' worth of hard-earned money.

But it was worth it!

Life was important, but the lives of his wives were equally important.

He was comforting himself when a hand reached out.

"What the heck?"

Lin Xiu turned around and went upstairs.

"You're not my wife!"

"I am your grandmother!"

"Grandmother!"

"Get lost!"

Cultivators also celebrated the New Year.

Traditions were passed down from generation to generation. Some had disappeared with the passage of time, while others continued to be passed down from one generation to the next, which was strange.

In the cultivation world, this "New Year" did not refer to the New Year Beast, but rather commemorated a powerful being from ancient times who single-handedly drove the primordial beasts back to the primordial realm.

This powerful being was called "Nian".

It was not called the New Year, but rather "Praying for the Year".

The cultivation world had many small worlds. According to Lin Xiu's understanding, the so-called primordial realm was an alternate dimension. Most likely, the Thousand Despair Mountains, which had been causing everyone a headache, was also such a secret realm.

He didn't have any emotional attachment to this "Nian," so he didn't bother celebrating the Praying for the Year festival.

But today, he received an invitation to participate in the Praying for the Year ceremony at a Gold Core cultivator's Cave Mansion on the outskirts of Qianjue Peak, one month later.

The invitation was personally delivered by Qian Zhan, the treasurer, who repeatedly urged him to attend.

Lin Xiu knew this was just a polite gesture, a way for the Gold Core cultivator to show him respect.

When he received the invitation, he was in the courtyard with his wives, "planting spirit stones."

For every half-meter-deep hole that Li Yingxue dug, Qin Yawen immediately placed three low-grade spirit stones inside and covered them up again.

Lin Xiu held a jade slip in his hand, carefully measuring the position of each hole, while directing Li Yingxue to dig another hole in the corresponding position.

Each hole was connected by a small underground channel, allowing the water from the Entering Spirit Spring to flow through and form a whole.

Ji Ning sat on the rooftop, watching with a mocking expression on her face.

"Learning on the spot, huh? Buying a formation plate is such a simple matter. Do you really think that using the courtyard as a formation plate can withstand a Foundation Building cultivator?" she sneered.

Then, she stood up and stretched lazily.

"If you ever encounter such a situation for real, I suggest you hide in the backyard. Even the defensive formation there is stronger than this!"

Lin Xiu turned to look at her.

"Who told you this is a formation? I'm just refining a larger talisman."

Ji Ning disdainfully curled her lips.

"A formation requires a sturdy formation plate material to bear its immense power. Similarly, a talisman requires good quality talisman paper. Not to mention these, just the time it takes to activate it, heh, I'm afraid the enemy would have already broken in!"

Lin Xiu put the jade slip behind him and looked up at her.

"Your Highness, don't forget that our courtyard's defensive formation can withstand an attack from a Foundation Building cultivator. So, as long as we connect the activation of this talisman with the defensive formation and borrow the power of those cultivators..."

Ji Ning's eyes lit up.

"You have a unique idea. Can you teach me this method?"

"No!"

Isn't it just the principle of detonating a hydrogen bomb with an atomic bomb's detonator? It just requires some cultivation techniques.

"You're being stingy."

"Because you're not my daughter-in-law..."

Lin Xiu immediately shut up.

Playing coy and bickering between the two was common for Li Qin's two daughters, and they had gradually become more open about it.

By evening, the project that had taken seven days to complete was finally finished, costing nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Although it was a bit heart-wrenching, they had no choice.

As for the effect...

Lin Xiu also had no idea, after all, none of the four of them were at the Foundation Building stage and couldn't activate it.

A grilling pan was set up by the pond, and they were having teppanyaki tonight.

Even though Li Yingxue was busy cutting meat and preparing vegetables, she never let go of her Phoenix Cry Sword and occasionally infused it with a strand of true essence.

This was to nurture the sword and achieve harmony with the sword's master.

Originally, she had planned to bring it to bed, but someone strongly resisted.

Who would bring this thing to bed?

Just by looking at the sharpness of the blade, one wrong move and someone could directly switch to practicing the "Evil Expelling Sword Technique."

Qin Yawen smiled mischievously and took out a bottle of fiery red powder, sprinkling it evenly on the fresh meat on the grill. She handed a piece to Lin Xiu's mouth as soon as it was cooked.

Lin Xiu savored it carefully with a satisfied expression and exclaimed, "Delicious! Wen'er's alchemy skills have improved again!"

Ji Ning obediently flipped the meat herself and couldn't help but mock, "A concoction made by an alchemist is actually not a proper thing. It's a shame for alchemists!"

She had eaten a pill called "Spirit Qi Dispersion" refined by Qin Yawen yesterday, which replenished her spiritual awareness.

Just one pill temporarily dispersed thirty percent of her Spirit Sea's spiritual awareness.

Qin Yawen picked up a piece and handed it to her mouth, saying, "Sister Ning, enjoy your meal and be satisfied. Only then will your husband have the interest and energy. This is what a couple should do!"

Li Yingxue's face immediately turned red. "Stop saying inappropriate things!"

"Heh, where there's a husband, there's bound to be a mistress!"

Ji Ning swallowed the piece of grilled meat in one bite, got up, and said, "I'm going to the secret realm these days. I want to see what secrets are hidden in that mist!"

Watching Ji Ning, as usual, directly cross over the rooftop and disappear, Lin Xiu frowned.

The large formation at the entrance of the secret realm had already been broken by someone, and the first batch of Independent Cultivators had safely entered.

However, not many came out.

It wasn't because the secret realm was filled with various dangers. To be precise, no one had truly entered.

The dense mist that covered the entrance was said to contain something extraordinary, even Nascent Soul experts had suffered losses.

Many people got lost inside, and those who returned were individuals with special treasures and secret techniques.

The five major sects and the six Nascent Soul experts from the Purple Cloud Sect also attempted to enter, but in the end, they had to use secret methods to escape. The situation had reached a dilemma.

Upon receiving the prompt, Lin Xiu immediately added all the experience he had gained recently to "Qingtong" and advanced to three stars - Virtual Reality.

Virtual Reality: Can break through all illusions and illusions in the world, specific abilities depend on cultivation level.

It wasn't for the sake of becoming cannon fodder there; that was something he couldn't do.

It was purely to prepare for unexpected dangers in the future.

Having enough backup plans is an essential quality for anyone in the treacherous path of cultivation.
