Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

[You and your wife cultivate together once, gaining flexible experience 1.2]!

This is the experience after taking into account the emotional bonus...

In other words, as his cultivation reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, the gap between him and Li Yingxue widened even further!

It's like playing a game, when your level increases but you continue to level up in the same area, the experience gained will inevitably diminish.

And it reduces the experience by ten times.

However, he quickly let go of his concerns.

Now that he has reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining and is no longer delaying his cultivation speed after removing the fire poison, and the experience of making talismans can also be accumulated, as long as he successfully builds the Foundation before the age of sixty, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

He has also reached the threshold of forty years old. Although twenty years is a bit short, there is still hope!

Autumn goes and winter comes, heavy snow falls.

The Pan Chang River flowing outside the stone house has already formed a thick layer of ice, and the distant mountains and nearby waters are covered in white.

On this day, Lin Xiu rarely gave up cultivation and talisman-making, and instead sat under the window of the stone house, basking in the sun.

While enjoying Li Yingxue's martial arts practice and boxing in the small courtyard of just over twenty square meters, he opened the panel while drinking tea.

[You and your wife cultivate together five times, gaining experience 6, flexible experience 6]

[Your wife's favorability fluctuates, 91]

[Favorability bonus: 4]

[Talisman Master: First-grade intermediate +2548/10000]

[Cultivation: Fourth level of Qi Refining +2004/30000]

He casually added all the flexible experience to the talisman master, feeling very pleased with the numbers above.

There is experience for each successful refinement of a talisman, although it is only 2 points, but combined with the experience from cultivating together, it is still considerable.

Some talisman masters may not even have a chance to advance to the first-grade intermediate even after reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining. Judging from this, it will probably take no more than two years.

The only dissatisfaction is that Li Yingxue's favorability towards him has stagnated once it reached 90 points, and it only increased by a pitiful 1 point after several months.

"Did I do something wrong to make her sad?"

"Hoo!"

His wife in the courtyard finished her practice, settled her posture, and exhaled a faint mist-like substance from her mouth, as if it were substantial.

This is a sign of complete consolidation in the martial artist realm.

"I didn't expect to just aim for something cheap and plan to marry an ordinary person to cultivate the next generation, but ended up marrying someone with such high martial talent!"

Red Sister initially only said that Li Yingxue had good aptitude, but she didn't expect her talent to be so impressive!

He didn't know much about martial arts, but it's probably extremely rare for an eighteen-year-old girl to reach the martial artist realm, even in the circle of martial arts practitioners, right?

He thought of a special talisman specifically for cultivation by martial artists, called the "Gathering Yuan Talisman."

But it requires a second-grade talisman master to refine, and the materials used for the talisman paper are rare, with almost no one refining them.

This method is not included in the "Complete Beginner's Guide to Rune Patterns," and the specific rune patterns need to be looked up in some other talisman books.

"When I advance to a second-grade talisman master, even if I have to spend money, I must raise my wife to the Innate realm, otherwise I would be unworthy!"

Today, Li Yingxue is wearing a close-fitting light yellow martial arts outfit, showcasing her charming demeanor as a newlywed, coupled with the agile posture and trembling unique to martial artists...

Lin Xiu licked his lips and went up to give her a princess carry.

"Husband suddenly thought of a scene we haven't tried yet, let's try it now!"

Li Yingxue blushed, her ears turning pink.

"In broad daylight..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Xiu kicked open the door of their house and hurriedly rushed to the kitchen...

After a while,

Experience increased by 1.2.

While putting on his clothes, Lin Xiu watched his wife tidying up the kitchen, feeling happy.

"Husband, can you accompany me for a walk outside?"

Li Yingxue neatly put away the large spoon used for cooking, picked up the spatula that had fallen on the ground, and blushed. She gave him a coquettish glare.

"Well, the river in front of the door has already frozen. I heard children playing and laughing, so it should be safe."

As she spoke, she took the spatula and thought about the scene just now, feeling a bit perverse.

The frozen small river lay before them like a jade belt, with more than a dozen children playing on the ice.

Parents watched over them carefully, both to prevent the children from getting hurt and to be on guard against potential robbers that could appear at any time.

In the past few months, there have been more than twenty cases of robbery and murder in this area, including one involving a Qi Refining Stage Six cultivator.

Among their neighborhood, a Qi Refining Stage Six cultivator was considered powerful, yet they couldn't escape a robbery. This made residents, including Lin Xiu, feel even more insecure.

However, on this occasion, dozens of cultivators gathered together. If there were still foolish people who dared to rob or harm the children...

Lin Xiu believed that if this robber had a son, the first thing he should do is take the child to a medical clinic in the market for a surgery to open up his ears, and the second thing is to have a head examination to see if he inherited any mental problems.

At this moment, he was still sitting on the riverbank in his worn-out green robe.

As a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, he could withstand this cold weather. Moreover, although this robe was the lowest grade, it had a defensive formation to keep out the cold.

Li Yingxue, on the other hand, was wrapped in a cloak made of first-grade demon rabbit fur, leaning against his shoulder, gazing affectionately at the children playing on the river, with a hint of guilt on her face.

"Husband, it's been a year since we got married, but I still haven't conceived a child for you..."

Lin Xiu patted her head and smiled, "Don't worry, we cultivators find it difficult to have children. Let's leave it to fate."

Li Yingxue nodded and began watching the children vigorously building snowmen on the ice, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Not far away, there was another couple cuddling.

Lin Xiu recognized them as the only couple in this area who were in a free love relationship. The woman had not yet reached the Qi Refining stage, but it was said that once she did, the two would get married.

Her figure, hidden beneath the loose robe, revealed an attractive and well-proportioned body, which made him unable to resist stealing a few glances.

Suddenly!

The originally calm ice surface became colorful, as if there was something roaring beneath the ice and about to break through!

After a moment of astonishment, the adults quickly took their children off the ice and stood on the bank, watching.

Lin Xiu immediately stood up.

In this situation, either a precious treasure was about to emerge from the river, or a high-level monster was causing trouble!

He quickly took out a first-grade Law Weapon, a "Protective Shield," and turned to Li Yingxue, saying, "Quick, stand behind me!"

Running back to their own courtyard would be useless.

This was a powerful monster. Judging from its current strength, it was about as strong as a dilapidated house made of paper. It would be safer to gather with the neighbors.

On the ice,

The colorful light became brighter, and there seemed to be a battle happening below.

"Could there be someone under the river?"

While holding various Law Weapons, everyone was on high alert.

"Bang!"

The snowman standing alone on the ice suddenly exploded, sending snow and ice flying everywhere.

A dark figure broke through the ice and landed on the riverbank not far from the shore.

It seemed that it wouldn't survive.

"Squeak!"

Immediately after, a strange and enormous roar came from beneath the ice hole, and countless huge icicles and water splashed out. A three-zhang long, green-golden monster fish also leaped out of the river.

Golden threads flowed on its basin-sized green scales, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth like swords. Its red fish eyes emitted a fierce and brutal light.

"Second-stage monster - Swordtooth Dragon Fish!"

Everyone's scalp tingled. How could a monster of this level appear here? Were the Foundation Building and Gold Core experts upstream and downstream all asleep?

"Form a formation! Form a formation!"

The first to react, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, waved a turtle shell-like Law Weapon in his hand and shouted.

Faced with this at least mid-stage Foundation Building monster, these low-level Independent Cultivators could only hope to escape with their lives using formations.
