“Don't worry, I'm still far off. I'm only in the late stage of Body Integration,” Lu Xin said, pinching her face.
“That's good… …What?”
Ji Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then exclaimed in surprise, pulling his hand away. “You said you're in the late stage of Body Integration?”
Lu Xin nodded.
“It's only been a little over four years, and I haven't even broken through the late stage of Core Formation. How did you cultivate so fast?” Ji Yue felt completely unable to catch up.
“Well… …”
Lu Xin didn't want to explain, so he said perfunctorily, “It's a long story. To make it short, I just encountered too many opportunities, and I accidentally reached this realm.”
“Heh heh… …” Ji Yue pouted, feeling his perfunctory attitude.
Lu Xin flicked her nose. “Don't you believe me. I'll show you the treasures I obtained when we get back.”
As he spoke, he took her hand and strolled through the clouds.
After walking for a while, Ji Yue was already on Lu Xin's back.
“Lu Xin,” Ji Yue suddenly whispered in his ear.
“What?”
“Will you carry me forever?”
Lu Xin was stunned for a moment, then continued walking. “Of course, I will.”
Just like that, slowly and leisurely, they arrived above the Seven Luminaries Sect.
“We're here. Are you getting down?”
“No.”
“Suit yourself.” Lu Xin smiled slightly and cast his gaze downward. The thick clouds couldn't block his sight at all, and everything in the Seven Luminaries Sect was captured in his eyes.
“Finally, I'm back.”
Ji Yue hugged his neck and asked, “How long do you plan to stay this time?”
Lu Xin thought for a while and said, “At least a hundred years.”
“That's more like it.”
Then, the two quietly landed on Demon Subduing Peak. Lu Xin only used voice transmission to inform Murong Xin and the others of his return.
They could seek him out if they had matters, and there was no need to pay respects.
Then, he and Ji Yue spent some time together.
“See that? This is called the Hundred Treasure Gourd, this is called the Black Tortoise Divine Axe, this is called the Poison Dragon Bow, this is called the Soul-Reaping Needle, this is called the Azure Dragon Sword… …”
After their intimate time, Lu Xin showed off his treasures one by one.
“These are all spirit treasures?”
Ji Yue opened her mouth wide.
“Of course, these are all things I risked my life to obtain,” Lu Xin boasted.
Ji Yue didn't believe him and rolled her eyes at him. “I bet you hid your strength again and swept through some secret realm.”
“Hmm? You actually doubt me? What about the basic trust between husband and wife?”
Lu Xin resentfully pulled her over.
A few days later, Lu Xin took Ji Yue for a walk on Demon Subduing Peak. As they walked, Ji Yue told him about what had happened in the past few years.
“Is your master used to living here?”
After listening, Lu Xin suddenly asked.
Ji Yue nodded. “Master was also cultivating hard in the Sacred Heart Sect. She plans to find a place to live in seclusion after you come back. You have to help me keep her here.”
“Of course.”
Lu Xin patted her hand. “She risked her life to come and tell you the news, and she's willing to stay and attract attention for you. It's obvious that she treats you well. I'll keep her here.”
Then, the two came to Li Wenshu's courtyard. After explaining their intentions, they didn't waste much effort in getting her to agree to stay.
Next, he left Ji Yue here to talk to her.
He himself planned to go to the Exquisite Pagoda and water the Amethyst Star Pattern Fruit with the Wood Spirit Essence.
On the way, he unexpectedly encountered two Foundation Establishment stage female disciples.
When the two women saw Lu Xin, they quickly bowed and paid their respects. “Greetings, Ancestor!”
“You are?” Lu Xin was a little surprised. He glanced around, and he hadn't even left Demon Subduing Peak yet. How could there be disciples coming in?
The two women quickly said, “We are disciples of Elder Yan.”
“I see.”
Lu Xin remembered that Yan Qingluo also lived on Demon Subduing Peak. “Alright, I have something to do. Go find your master.”
“Yes.”
Lu Xin left a sentence and continued towards the Exquisite Pagoda.
After Lu Xin left, the two women whispered:
“That's the Ancestor. He's even more majestic and handsome than in the portrait.”
“Yes, and he's so young.”
Lu Xin, who had walked a distance away, suddenly heard the two's conversation. He shook his head with a smile, ignored them, and soon arrived at the Exquisite Pagoda.
Murong Xin was already waiting here.
“Ancestor.”
Lu Xin was a little surprised and chuckled, “You can guess my thoughts.”
Murong Xin laughed dryly. “This disciple was just waiting for a summons at the foot of Demon Subduing Peak. After thinking about it, the chances of encountering the Ancestor here are greater.”
“Didn't I say you could come and see me if you had something to do?” Lu Xin pretended to be majestic.
Murong Xin scratched his face. “This disciple has nothing to do, I just wanted to see you, old man.”
“Alright, you're so old, yet you're still so mushy,”
Lu Xin waved his hand in disgust. “Seeing that your beard has turned much whiter again, how much lifespan do you have left?”
Murong Xin quickly said, “This disciple was fortunate enough to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core some time ago. I have about 450 years of lifespan left, and I am already 287 years old this year.”
Lu Xin calculated that he had about 160 years left to live, so he said:
“There's still a long time. Cultivate hard. This time, I brought back a lot of rare spiritual medicines. Strive to let you live for two thousand years.”
“Two thousand?”
That was Nascent Soul! Murong Xin's eyes lit up instantly. He secretly thought that he had made the right choice in hugging this thigh and quickly said diligently, “Ancestor, be careful of the stone… …”
In the end, under Murong Xin's care, Lu Xin arrived at the seventh floor of the Exquisite Pagoda.
“How are the things I asked you to do before I left going?”
Lu Xin asked while looking at the Amethyst Star Pattern Fruit tree.
Murong Xin quickly said:
“Poisons are being collected continuously, but limited by the strength of the disciples, we can't find high-level ones.”
“As for searching for disciples with high talent, I have already arranged for elders to secretly search in other domains, but with little success.”
“Only one was found, who had the upper grade earth-level spiritual root that you requested, Ancestor, but it was discovered too late. He was a mortal. By the time he was found, he was already in his eighties.”
“And then?” Lu Xin was speechless.
Murong Xin scratched his head embarrassedly. “Then, when he heard that he could cultivate immortality, he got so excited that he kicked the bucket.”
“Pfft!”
Lu Xin spat out a mouthful of old blood. After calming down, he said unhappily:
“I think you have good eloquence. You can consider opening a crosstalk troupe in the future and touring the entire domain. This can also earn some resources for the sect.”
“What crosstalk troupe?” Murong Xin was a little confused.
“Forget it.” Lu Xin was too lazy to explain and said seriously, “It's too troublesome to do this secretly. We have to think of a good way to make geniuses come automatically.”
Murong Xin said, “But other domains also have forces. They will definitely not let talents flow out.”
“That's true.”
Lu Xin touched his chin, wondering if he should take the path of sect hegemony and build the Seven Luminaries Sect into the number one force in the Southern Domain.
After all, he had now cultivated the ninth transformation of the Golden Body and feared no one.
If he succeeded, he could at least attract talents from the entire Southern Domain.
After thinking about it, he felt that he had to take it one step at a time.
He had to first seize the Eastern Hua Domain before anything else.
“I've got it.”
Lu Xin suddenly thought of the news brought by Ji Yue's master, that the Sacred Heart Sect had joined forces with the Moon River Gate and had now taken the entire Yan Kingdom's cultivation world.
If the Suspended Sacred Venerable hadn't suddenly come to his door.
They were still planning to continue expanding their controlled territory.
With such a force disrupting the existing structure, perhaps he could wait until they had disrupted it almost enough, and then appear as a righteous figure to expand his influence.
Now he was thinking about the feasibility.
Just then, Murong Xin suddenly received a message. His expression changed, and he quickly reported:
“Reporting to Ancestor, the three sects' Nascent Soul ancestors have come to seek an audience, saying that there is an urgent matter.”
