Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 274: Chapter 133: Xiao Xiyue’s Request_2
Ten years had passed, and their appearances and demeanors had all changed more or less.

Take Hong Yi, for example, who now wore a purple, luxurious brocade robe and a purple gold crown on his head, and had grown a beard at the corners of his lips.

Compared with ten years ago, the whole person seemed countless times more mature and composed.

Yet Lu Changsheng still had the appearance of a twenty-year-old.

His handsome and vibrant face still vaguely reflected the contours of ten years prior.

But his entire being appeared even more ethereal and graceful, refined beyond the mortal realm.

Beholding him was like seeing a graceful, flawless beauty, noble and unsullied, like an orchid or a jade tree in spring, bestowing upon others a sense of serenity and detachment.

If not for knowing Lu Changsheng’s situation,

they would have believed him if he claimed to be a core disciple of an Immortal Sect or a descendant of a grand Cultivation family, given his temperament and looks.

As Xiao Xiyue approached and saw Lu Changsheng, an inexplicable emotion surged within her heart, causing it to suddenly flutter.

The “Supreme Forgetful Love Technique” that she was cultivating involuntarily began to circulate.

“This is…”

Xiao Xiyue paused slightly in surprise.

She noticed that upon seeing Lu Changsheng, her heart, which was as tranquil as the bright moon, began to ripple slightly.

After cultivating the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, her heart had become like the moon in the sky, undisturbed by emotions and untrapped by feelings.

No matter the event, it was difficult for anything to move her or cause a disturbance within her.

However, at this moment, seeing Lu Changsheng made her heart flutter, involuntarily initiating the circulation of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique.

“Could it be, this is the opportunity, the catalyst for my breakthrough?”

Xiao Xiyue’s eyes, as cold and moving as the stars and the moon, reflected her thoughts.

Having cultivated the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, her Cultivation Level had reached the Perfection of Qi Refinement.

Yet due to her state of mind, she had always been unable to break through.

Her master Yun Wanshang had given her three years.

Now, half of those three years had passed.

She had also realized that she could not break through on her own.

She must venture out, temper her heart in the mortal world, and use external forces to facilitate the breakthrough.

That was the purpose of her coming down the mountain for this meeting.

Thinking of the remaining year and a half, she planned to travel in the mortal realm in search of that breakthrough opportunity.

Unexpectedly, she had just left the mountain and met with old friends, which had caused her heart to quiver and the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique to activate automatically.

“Why isn’t Li Feiyu here? Where has Brother Li gone?”

Han Lin, seeing only Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi, asked aloud.

“Feiyu went out for experience last year and has been held up by some matters. He might not be able to make it back in time, so he asked me to apologize on his behalf,”

Lu Changsheng said, bowing his hands.

“I didn’t expect Brother Li to have gone out for experience,”

Hearing this, Han Lin nodded slightly and didn’t say much else.

“The three of you have had a tiresome journey. I have already made arrangements at the Ruyi Tower, still the same Condensing Immortal Pavilion as before,”

Hong Yi said, stepping forward to lead the way.

Presently, the five of them walked and talked on their way to the Ruyi Tower, the Condensing Immortal Pavilion.

“Please take a seat,”

Hong Yi said with a cheerful smile after everyone was seated, serving Spiritual Tea and Spirit Fruit to the guests.

Compared to ten years ago, this reunion clearly lacked the same ease and familiarity.

One reason was that their relationships had only been average to begin with.

Having not seen each other for ten years and with only the occasional exchange of letters,

another was that ten years ago, there were those who livened up the gathering and steered the conversation.

But now, with Xiao Xiyue’s cold and fairy-like demeanor, she hardly spoke.

And with Lu Changsheng, Han Lin, and Zhao Qingqing naturally not being talkative people, and the absence of Li Feiyu,

However, under Hong Yi’s lead, Lu Changsheng, Han Lin, and Zhao Qingqing became actively engaged in searching for topics, gradually warming up and having a harmonious and congenial conversation.

In the course of the interaction, Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing mentioned some of the happenings within the Qingyun Sect and great events of the Cultivation World,

While Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi spoke of some worldly matters, events within the marketplaces.

During this, Lu Changsheng also mentioned his brother-in-law, Xia Zhaoyang.

Lu Changsheng hadn’t paid much attention to this brother-in-law.

He had only occasionally heard about his sister-in-law Xia Zhizue’s brother in her letters.

When Xia Zhizue sent letters, he had included a few dozen Spirit Stones as a gesture,

It wasn’t much, just a token of consideration as a brother-in-law, a simple investment.

“Xia Zhaoyang, I’ve heard of him. I never thought he’d actually be a relative of Brother Changsheng,”

Han Lin expressed surprise upon hearing this.

Working in the Qingyun Sect’s Artifact Refining Hall, despite being relatively unknown, he was well-informed.

Since Xia Zhaoyang possessed a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root and had entered the Inner Sect and been taken as a disciple by a Foundation Establishment elder, he was familiar with him.

At this moment, the others also spoke of their recent conditions,

Which revealed to Lu Changsheng that Han Lin had reached the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement,

And that Zhao Qingqing, having recently exchanged for a High Rank Breakthrough Elixir from the Sect, had broken through to the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement with the help of the elixir.

This level of Cultivation strength made Lu Changsheng sigh with admiration.

They were truly worthy of being Immortal Sect disciples.

Likewise, Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing were both Outer Sect disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

They were also tied up with side jobs and distracted by various Skill-related tasks at times.

Yet under these circumstances, one had reached the Sixth Level, and the other had reached the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement.

One must know, Lu Miaoge, as the young lady of the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain with a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, had also only broken through to the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement at the age of twenty-nine.

As for Hong Yi and Li Feiyu, having Lower Grade Spiritual Roots,

One was still at the Fourth Level of Energy Refinement, and the other had only recently broken through to the Fifth Level.

As for himself, Lu Changsheng chose to exclude himself from comparison.

After all, he had an advantage.

Externally, he claimed to have only recently broken through to the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement.

“Brother Changsheng seems to have the most leisurely life, embraced by the family of Cultivators, marrying and having children, while steadily improving in both Cultivation and the Talisman Path,”

Han Lin remarked with a sense of emotion.

He had been the closest to Lu Changsheng since the beginning.

Although they had grown distant, he still felt some affinity for him.

“Haha, I can’t compare with your prospects of the Immortal Path,”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and chuckled in response.

Then, turning to Xiao Xiyue, who had a cold and celestial appearance beside him, he inquired, “I heard that Daoist Xiao has been taken as a disciple by a Nascent Soul Immortal, may I ask how your recent Cultivation has been?”
