Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Shuangzi Island, the main hall of the Lu Family is brightly lit.

All the descendants of the Lu Family who have reached the Late Qi Refining stage or above have gathered.

Lu Xun sits in the first seat and scans the crowd.

"I'm sure you've all heard that recently, our Lu Family disciples had contact with the Yao Nation while patrolling the Fallen Star Lake and the Thousand Despair Mountains. They even fought, and as a result, three disciples had their cultivation abolished and became mortals."

"Elder, the Yao Nation is untrustworthy. Is their claim of not using weapons for two hundred years just a lie? Aren't they afraid of being struck by heavenly thunder?"

One of the island masters' nephews is among those three disciples, filled with resentment.

"Hmph, that oath was made by a dozen Yao Kings. As long as they don't take action, those beasts below are not restricted at all!"

"Doesn't that mean our Lu Family is in great danger?"

"That's right. The Yao Nation is cruel by nature, and our Lu Family is now lacking in talent. Our strength is like an egg hitting a rock, inferior to..."

"Brother Liu and I have the same idea. The Liu Family in the southwest of the Fallen Star Lake has always been at odds with us. Why not take the opportunity to attack and occupy them?"

"I also had this idea. There is the Flowing Wind City between the two families. Even if the Yao Nation invades and harasses, they will deal with Flowing Wind City first!"

"We agree, but what about the family token..."

Seeing this, Lu Xun coughed.

"In order for both families to attack each other, one side must possess the family token issued by Vermilion Bird Mountain. Originally, this token was extremely difficult to obtain, but fate has its ways. Now, our Lu Family has a highly esteemed direct disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect living among us!"

He looked at Lu Baitian.

"This is where we need to commend Baitian. You have made great contributions to the Lu Family."

Lu Baitian tried his best to suppress his excitement and bowed respectfully.

"This is the great fortune of the Lu Family. Nephew dare not take credit!"

The other two island masters, who are also eligible to compete for the position of family head, sneered inwardly.

How did this flatterer get so lucky?

Lu Xun continued, "Now that Lady Lin Xiu has just broken through to the Martial Marquis realm and is consolidating her cultivation, we cannot rush to promote her. However, we need to determine the people who will accompany her to Vermilion Bird Mountain. Besides me, two others should go to show respect to the Upper Sect."

Lu Baitian immediately stood in the center of the hall.

"Nephew is willing to go!"

The two island masters exchanged glances and stood up together.

"The seventh brother is preparing to form his Core, so he cannot be delayed. Let the two of us accompany the Elder!"

"For the sake of the family, I can go earlier or later."

"That's right. With one more Gold Core cultivator from the Lu Family, we will have more confidence in the upcoming family battle. Let us go!"

...

The hall was bustling with discussions about the spots to go to Vermilion Bird Mountain.

However, no one noticed a three-inch tall naked little person squatting among the branches of a thousand-year-old tree in the courtyard.

But after seeing this scene, the little person lost interest in continuing to listen.

Quietly, the little person slid down the trunk and disappeared into the night, holding a green token.

At Cuihu Manor, Wen Renqing nervously looked outside the door.

When she saw a little person sneaking over the wall, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She calmly threw the clothes to Lin Xiu, who had returned to his normal size, and asked, "How is it?"

Lin Xiu confidently put on his clothes in front of her and smacked his lips.

"It seems like we have to run tomorrow morning!"

With two Foundation Building cultivators at the peak stage and one Gold Core cultivator accompanying him to Vermilion Bird Mountain, he won't have a chance to escape.

Originally, he wanted to use the excuse of the sect summoning to leave openly, but he was delayed by Li Yingxue's enlightenment.

He had to escape secretly.

The Thirteen Linked Islands are covered by the clan's grand formation, and without permission, he can't leave at all.

Water routes were also an option for him, but after talking with Lu Baitian for the past few days, he immediately gave up on that idea.

There are many water demons in the Fallen Star Lake. Although there are no Fourth Order demons, he can't handle Third Order demons either!

Lu Baitian didn't have the mood to cultivate all night. His newly acquired concubine could only shrink in the corner of the bed with resentment.

Last night, he finally obtained the opportunity to go to Vermilion Bird Mountain. Once he obtained the family order and captured the Liu family's territory, his great achievements would greatly increase his chances of becoming the next clan leader.

"Lin Xiu is truly my benefactor!"

He glanced at the beautiful concubine, wondering if he should send her over to be a warm bed maid. But he quickly dismissed this thought. Lin Xiu seemed to be someone who valued their partner greatly. Just by seeing how nervous Lin's wife was, it was clear that sending her over would have the opposite effect. His son was still waiting for him to recommend him.

Early in the morning, Lu Baitian impatiently headed towards Cuihu Manor, intending to settle his son's matter and then go to Vermilion Bird Mountain together.

Just as he arrived at the door, he saw his useless son sneaking out with a guilty look on his face. He was filled with anger.

"Beast! I told you to serve Lin Shishu wholeheartedly, but you dare to sneak out. Are you looking for a beating?"

Lu Qiansui shrank his neck, looking aggrieved.

"Father, Lin Shishu needs to refine a kind of pill that helps consolidate martial arts cultivation. There are a few important ingredients missing, so he sent me to find them."

Lu Baitian pondered.

That makes sense.

Li Yingxue is currently consolidating her realm, so it's reasonable to use pills as assistance.

"Which ingredients? I'll take you to the clan's alchemy tower to find them."

Lu Qiansui reported the names of the ingredients, looking nervous.

Lu Baitian nodded. He himself was a second-rank alchemist and had the formula for the "Great Gathering Yuan Pill." This kid wasn't lying.

However, he couldn't come up with the materials used by martial artists. He casually handed Lu Qiansui a storage bag.

"Go to the Treasure Pavilion in Liufeng City. They should have them. Buy a few more. If I find out you've been greedy, be careful of your leg!"

After saying that, he was about to go inside.

Lu Qiansui immediately said, "Father, Lin Shishu is currently refining talismans. It's better to go in later!"

Lu Baitian was surprised. "He's also a talisman master?"

"Really, a first-grade one!"

The latter nodded again. Reaching the first-grade superior level at the seventh layer of Qi Refining was only possible for those with extremely strong talent, aside from those nurtured by the Purple Cloud Sect.

Thinking of this, he glared at his son, who looked like a servant.

"You better hurry up. If you don't come back before it gets dark, I'll break your other two legs!"

"Yes, yes, but what about the Outlying Island Token..."

Lu Baitian kicked it away. "Are you half-asleep? Isn't it hanging on your waist? Go!"

Watching his son flee in a sorry state, he turned his gaze towards the manor.

A faint fluctuation of a formation continuously emanated from inside. It seemed that the people inside were using soundproof formations or something similar, not wanting to be disturbed by outsiders.

Thinking of this, he turned around and headed straight for the alchemy tower to find the other materials needed to refine the "Great Gathering Yuan Pill."

On Lake Zhuixing,

Lin Xiu didn't even dare to use a flying boat. He stepped on Lu Qiansui's flying sword and headed west.

As for that guy Lu Qiansui, he was only at the third layer of Qi Refining and had fallen under the influence of the Enchanting Melody Hall's bewitching technique. He was currently curled up in a box, dreaming sweet dreams.

Lin Xiu was a bit worried that this guy might die from it.

"The Lu family is actually not bad to me, but who asked me to impersonate someone? Bai Tuo, thanks!"

"But, I called you 'father' several times and even took a kick from you. You didn't lose out either!"

Arriving at a small mountain far from Lake Zhuixing, a large city, Liufeng City, could faintly be seen.

He shook his head. This city was too close to the Lu family.

He took out a map to determine his location and decided on the next place to stay, Feiyun City.

There were also flying boats there that went to Vermilion Bird City.

This White Jade Flying Boat from the Purple Cloud Sect was too conspicuous. He didn't want to take the risk of impersonating Lin He again.

Although he made a small fortune from it and allowed his beloved wife to enter the Martial Marquis realm ahead of time...
