Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Thirteen islands make up the core foundation of the Lu family.

According to Lu Baitian, each of the twelve surrounding islands has a late Foundation Building stage island lord cultivating on it.

In the center, however, there is a twin island where the clan leader and the elder part of the family reside.

The clan leader has been in seclusion for many years, currently attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in preparation for abdicating and passing on the position. This has sparked the ambition of the other island lords.

Lu Baitian is about to advance to the Gold Core stage, and his status has greatly increased in recent years. He now has the competitiveness to potentially reach the position of clan leader if his son can successfully join the Vermilion Bird Mountain.

The seven disciples who came along have patrol tasks and bid farewell, while Lin Xiu and the others landed on a very elegant island and stood in front of a large courtyard.

"Cuihu Manor, what a nice name!"

Lin Xiu praised insincerely.

However, the courtyard was indeed beautiful. The bricks and stones used to build the walls were probably taken from the bottom of the Fallen Star Lake, emitting a spiritual light. Combined with a large protective array, it would probably take some effort even for a Gold Core cultivator.

"Brother Lin doesn't mind, that's good. The original name of this place was Cuijian Manor, the residence of an ancient ancestor of our clan who was a martial cultivator. There is still a sword-testing stone in the training ground. Fellow Daoist Li, who practices martial arts, might want to take a look when you have time. Perhaps you will gain some insights."

Li Yingxue's eyes lit up when she heard this.

There are already few martial cultivators in the world, and very few leave behind traces of actual combat. If she could truly comprehend something left behind by a senior, it would definitely be an opportunity to broaden her horizons.

Lin Xiu smiled inwardly.

Lu Baitian's thoughts are indeed meticulous. Although it seems that he wants something, if it can benefit his wife, he can give it a try.

He glanced at the ring when he had a moment. The jade bottles containing blood tree sap and "rotten bone spirits" were securely stored inside.

If something that even Gold Core cultivators would suffer from encountered Foundation Building cultivators, what could they do?

In the evening, in the main hall of Cuihu Manor.

A table full of delicacies from the mountains and fresh fish from the lake made Lin Xiu very happy.

In the past month, the most delicious thing was probably the few days when he pretended to be a patient on the flying boat with Wei Qianqiu.

But the food for patients was tasteless, and the rest of the time he relied on fasting pills.

The two women accompanied him, one cold and one hot.

Li Yingxue didn't eat, and her hand under the table never let go of the hilt of her sword.

Wen Renqing, on the other hand, fully demonstrated what she had learned at Xianyin Pavilion, constantly speaking kind words.

Lu Baitian still hadn't figured out Lin Xiu's "lineage," but Wen Renqing had already figured out his thoughts.

"Oh, so you want to take my path and let his useless son infiltrate the Purple Cloud Sect."

Lin Xiu pondered for a moment and casually agreed.

Anyway, after today, he would leave without a trace. If you want to find someone, go find someone else!

Lu Baitian was overjoyed and directly handed over a storage bag.

"Brother Lin is righteous. Use this to buy some rouge for the two ladies. If this matter can be accomplished, there will be a generous reward."

From being a younger brother to becoming a junior brother, in the world of cultivation, this represented a closer relationship.

He turned and shouted at the maid, "Why hasn't that beast arrived yet? He's disrespecting the sect. I'll break his legs!"

"Dad, what's so urgent? You called me back from Liufeng County just as I was about to go to Xianyin Pavilion with the Third Young Master of the City Lord!"

A voice with extremely low confidence came from outside the door.

Then, with dark circles under his eyes and the appearance of someone who had indulged in excessive desires, a young man walked in.

"Insolent! Kneel down and pay respects to Senior Brother Lin!"

Lu Baitian's eyes turned red.

After finally getting Lin Xiu to agree to help, this son of his didn't even give him face.

Lu Qiansui glanced at Lin Xiu and the others, and immediately fixed his gaze on Wen Renqing.

Damn, what a beauty!

Li Yingxue had always been cold and unwelcoming to outsiders.

Coupled with the fact that she had already reached the boundary of the Martial Marquis realm, and the sword embryo in her body had begun to uncontrollably emanate from her, even this young man at the third level of Qi Refining felt a chill down his spine.

Not everyone likes an ice beauty. In comparison, Wen Renqing was more captivating to men.

Lu Qiansui's mouth watered, and he pointed at Wen Renqing and asked, "Dad, who is this fairy..."

Lu Baitian's eyes twitched, and he kicked his son out of the door.

Then, looking at Lin Xiu rubbing his hands,

"It's all because your sister-in-law spoils him too much, that's why she wants him to enter the sect and change his temperament..."

Lin Xiu glanced outside the door,

"It's alright, once we reach Vermilion Bird Mountain, he will have to endure hardships. Young Master Lu's spiritual roots are..."

Lu Baitian was overjoyed.

Lin Xiu clearly coveted his benefits and was not angry at offending his fellow Daoist.

"Three water, wood, and earth, one middle and two lower, barely enough to reach Gold Core..."

Lin Xiu smiled,

"Young Master Lu, do you know that before I entered the sect, I had five different spiritual roots?"

Lu Baitian was stunned by this question.

Different spiritual roots are considered waste, and it would be considered fortunate to reach Foundation Building.

Such spiritual roots, let alone joining the Purple Cloud Sect, would probably be considered a fate of being abandoned in one's own family.

"Does this person have any special qualities?"

Lin Xiu continued blowing.

"That's because the sect leader used a unique secret technique to directly elevate two of my spiritual roots to the top grade. The reason why my cultivation is still at the sixth level of Qi Refining is to elevate the third spiritual root to the top grade as well, completing the Foundation Building with three top grade spiritual roots!"

As he spoke, he subtly glanced at Wen Renqing.

The third one will depend on you!

Lu Baitian's eyes were filled with envy upon hearing this.

He had heard of extremely miraculous secret techniques that could elevate innate spiritual roots to a higher grade, but they were all legends and kept secret.

In addition, he had also read the book "Five Elements Palm Heaven Scripture". If someone really practiced it, it meant that Lin Xiu was not just boasting.

The person in front of him was probably someone who loved to show off and perhaps was hinting that the things he had given were not good enough.

"Could I have a glimpse?"

"Why not!"

Lin Xiu opened his palm, and five colored pillars of light burst out.

Two were long and one was short, extremely dazzling.

The other two beams of light were only an inch away from the palm, indicating the performance of waste spiritual roots.

Lu Baitian's eyes lit up, and he no longer doubted.

"If I can receive guidance from the sect leader, I would be extremely grateful!"

They continued drinking and chatting until late at night.

Finally, Lu Baitian excused himself, citing that he didn't want to delay Lin Xiu and the others' cultivation.

Lin Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief and casually activated the "Golden Light Barrier" that Ancient and Modern Qi had given him, covering the entire wooden building. Then, he carried the storage bag containing five top grade spirit stones and went upstairs.

Unlike Qianjue Peak, where spirit stones were as common as paper, it was already a sincere gesture for someone to produce five of them.

Temporarily safe, he planned to find an excuse to slip away tomorrow and wish for everything to go smoothly.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Wen Renqing's waist.

Why not challenge the limits tonight and see what wonders the "Profound Transcendence" recorded in the dual cultivation technique of the Endless Pleasure Sect has?

He rubbed his hands and gave Li Yingxue a signal.

The latter smiled and, in the name of cultivation, gave up the master bedroom.

Wen Renqing: ...

It's probably impossible to escape from this little scoundrel's clutches today.

Outside Cuihu Villa.

Lu Baitian, who had just walked out of the gate, looked back at the formation shield rising from the main building and sighed.

Second-grade top grade, this person's status in the Purple Cloud Sect might be even higher.

Thinking of this, he took out a sound transmission talisman.

"Second brother, you know Elder Zhou from the Purple Cloud Sect. Can you help me inquire about a person named Lin Xiu?"
