Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Golden Radiance Immortal City, Nine Cauldrons Commerce Guild.

“Aunt Yao, are you thinking about that heartless guy again?” Although more than thirty years had passed, Tong Yaoyao was still young and beautiful, and even her personality hadn't changed much due to her affluent, worry-free, and uneventful life. She was only more composed in front of outsiders.

Zhao Shuyao heard the voice and remained calm, not hiding the letter in her hand, but leaving it there.

“Why are you still talking nonsense? Aunt Yao is already an old woman, just reminiscing about old friends.” The seventy-three-year-old Zhao Shuyao spoke frankly, with a kind smile, possessing a scholarly, late-in-life charm.

Tong Yaoyao went forward, half-squatting in front of Zhao Shuyao, helping to smooth the hair mixed with sparse silver strands, her voice somewhat lost: "Aunt Yao, you originally had a chance to get a Youth Preservation Pill a few years ago…"

Zhao Shuyao gently pulled her into her arms: “Silly child, Aunt Yao has no magic power, and her Qi and blood have already begun to decline. The Youth Preservation Pill can't restore youth, it only delays aging by a few years, it's not necessary.”

Tong Yaoyao sighed, hesitant to speak, and after a moment, her eyes suddenly became firm: “Aunt Yao, this time, I will definitely help you get a demon core to break through to the second-order body cultivator!”

Hearing this, a hint of anticipation appeared on Zhao Shuyao's face.

She had been stuck at the peak of the first-order body cultivator for twenty years. The reason she gave up the Youth Preservation Pill before was because she wanted to strive for promotion to the second-order body cultivator.

Once she advanced to the second-order body cultivator, she would have some confidence to investigate the family that raised blood slaves, and have the possibility of revenge. At the very least, tearing off a piece of their flesh with her life would make her feel a little better, otherwise she might die with regrets.

Now, although her Qi and blood had begun to decline, there was still a chance to冲击 the second order. If it was a few years later, with too much decline in Qi and blood, even with a demon core, there would be no hope.

“Buzz~” Just then, the communication talisman in her arms vibrated slightly.

Zhao Shuyao took out the communication talisman.

Zhang Tiezhu's information made her change color instantly!

“Almost high-grade!”

“How… how is this possible?”

The spiritual root talent of nineteen strands of spiritual rhyme made Zhao Shuyao completely stunned.

Tong Yaoyao was also quite surprised: “That guy's son's spiritual root is so good? Didn't he only have two strands?”

“What kind of Dao companion did Brother Li find?” Sixteen years ago, when she learned that Li Ji'an had been kicked out of the Yan family, Zhao Shuyao had lamented the impermanence of the world, and later tried to contact him, but to no avail.

And at that time, Zhang Tiezhu told her the reason why Li Ji'an was kicked out of the clan.

This made her really want to meet that Yan family's eldest lady.

However, the news of Li Fan's return to the clan seven years ago made her feel a little strange.

She didn't expect Li Ji'an to have a Dao companion so quickly after leaving the Yan family, and the time calculation was that he was already pregnant with a child that year.

This made the faint resentment that had subsided for many years a little revived.

She thought Li Ji'an was focused on the path of immortality, so he rejected her forty years ago, but she never thought…

Fortunately, she was old, and that emotion was fleeting.

In the past seven years, she often asked Zhang Tiezhu about Li Fan's news, and she had already regarded him as the closest junior in this world.

After all, he was Brother Li's child.

The five of them came to this world, without relatives or reasons, and they were the closest people to each other.

She also discussed the possibility of helping with Zhang Tiezhu and Dong Jiangling.

However, the three of them didn't have much hope, after all, Li Ji'an's spiritual root talent was the worst among the five of them back then.

But now… Li Fan's spiritual root made Zhao Shuyao not only feel incredible, but also more hopeful.

With such spiritual root talent, as long as the resources are available, foundation establishment is guaranteed, and even… it may not be impossible to aspire to core formation.

More importantly, Zhang Tiezhu had probed in recent years and learned that Li Fan actually knew about the Immortal Bestowed Dynasty and the family that raised blood slaves, and claimed that he had been instructed by his father that if he had the strength, he would definitely avenge the predecessors who were deceived from the Immortal Bestowed Dynasty to this place for hundreds of years!

“Yaoyao, Aunt Yao has never asked you for anything, this time, Aunt Yao asks you…” Before long, Zhao Shuyao made a decision.

She decided to give up the resources that might allow her to break through to the second-order body cultivator in exchange for Yaoyao's help to Li Fan!

At the same time, she was also eager to meet Brother Li's son!

Three days later, another unexpected news made her feel excited.

“The eldest lady is taking Fan'er to participate in the Bi Yun Sect's trial!”

“The Yan family's eldest lady is also coming?” The moment she received this news, Zhao Shuyao was excited to see Brother Li's offspring, and also uneasy because she was about to see the Yan family's eldest lady whom Brother Li couldn't get.

After all, she was already a Foundation Establishment ancestor with a transcendent status.

When Tong Yaoyao learned of this news, she stood firmly behind Zhao Shuyao: “Aunt Yao, don't be afraid of her, have you forgotten, Yaoyao is also a Foundation Establishment Daoist!”

—

When Yan Qingwan established her foundation more than ten years ago, she was secretly escorted by the clan to Golden Radiance Immortal City, and then stayed here for four years, so she was no stranger to the immortal city.

And now, she has already established a firm foundation, and she can go anywhere in the entire Sky Blue Domain.

Foundation establishment is successful, and the foundation of the Dao is initially laid. The power and magic power are not the same as those in the Qi refining stage. Unless there is a life-and-death feud, no one is willing to offend it, and even the Core Formation Real Person will not target it for no reason.

On this day, Yan Qingwan drove a flying boat, carrying Li Ji'an towards Golden Radiance Immortal City.

“Fan'er, do you blame aunt for sending you out of the family?” Yan Qingwan stood on the flying boat, looking at Li Ji'an, who was already half a head taller than her, and asked softly.

Li Ji'an had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of gratitude: “Aunt, I'm not a child anymore, how can I not understand your good intentions? Whether this trial can enter the sect or not, I will remember this kindness in my heart!”

“Fan'er is really smart! There is no need to have pressure when going to Bi Yun Sect, just do your best, aunt will always stand behind you.” Yan Qingwan looked at Li Ji'an dotingly, with a shallow smile.

It was 100,000 miles away from Golden Radiance Immortal City, and most of the way was barren land. It would take nearly four months with the Yan family's flying boat.

Yan Qingwan sometimes sat in meditation to practice and replenish her magic power.

Because Li Ji'an was going to participate in the sect trial, he was not taught the Yan family's high-grade technique "Flame Dragon Art", because once the main cultivation technique is mastered in this world, it is almost impossible to cultivate other techniques within a small realm. After all, transforming the technique and rebuilding it will definitely consume potential.

He spent more time on the flying boat condensing his Qi and blood.

At the same time, he also compared the flying boat driven by the Immortal Guide more than forty years ago, which was one level higher than the Yan family's flying boat. This also indirectly confirmed the information Zhao Shuyao learned that the family that raised blood slaves might really be one of the five major families.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, are you all right!” This day, just after leaving the Desolate Dragon Ridge wilderness, a flying boat chased from behind.

Yan Qingwan swept her divine sense, her eyes gradually turned cold, and immediately stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the old acquaintance on the flying boat behind.

“Fellow Daoist Zheng's move is really reckless, aren't you afraid of causing a violent conflict?”

“Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Yan is joking, everyone in the world knows that the Zheng and Yan families have been friends for nine generations and are of the same spirit, even among the eight major families in the wilderness, they are the closest two families, so how can there be any conflict?” Zheng Tianxiang laughed heartily and took the initiative to disperse his magic power.

He established his foundation three years earlier than Yan Qingwan, but unfortunately, he was a little careless after his foundation was successfully established that year. Before it was stabilized, he was eager to return to the clan, and was intercepted and killed by two Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although he was protected by the clan's Foundation Establishment and had no life worries, even if he made up for it in these years, he also broke the possibility of further progress.

The Zheng family has always suspected that the other seven families in the wilderness caused this incident through the black market bounty, but there is no evidence.

The Zheng family has been dormant all these years, but unexpectedly, they took the initiative to show up today.

“Fellow Daoist Zheng has been practicing hard for many years, and his skills have indeed improved further.” Yan Qingwan sneered, satirizing his thicker skin.

Zheng Tianxiang didn't care: “Fellow Daoist Yan is too kind, this time I came here entirely to continue the friendship between our two families.”

After saying that, without waiting for Yan Qingwan to respond, he took out a storage bag: “Today I just learned that Fellow Daoist Yan's nephew has an almost high-grade spiritual root, and wants to go to the sect, so I specially came to give a congratulatory gift, please accept it with a smile.”

Yan Qingwan ignored Zheng Tianxiang and looked at Li Ji'an beside her.

“Haha, little friend, I am Zheng Tianxiang, and I used to have a close friendship with your father, so I can be regarded as an old friend. It's really gratifying.” Zheng Tianxiang saw that Yan Qingwan was silent, and then looked at Li Ji'an.

What a close friendship, Li Ji'an sneered in his heart.

Zheng Tianxiang repeatedly lured himself out of the workshop back then, and his intentions were self-evident, and he had already put him on his small book.

“By the way, there is also your father's former teacher, Alchemist Mo, who also asked me to bring you a congratulatory gift. He once promised your father that he would take care of you.” Saying that, Zheng Tianxiang took out another bottle of pills.

Speaking of this, Yan Qingwan laughed.

“Fan'er, since Fellow Daoist Zheng is so generous, you should accept it.” After saying that, with a wave of one hand, she took the things from Zheng Tianxiang's hand.

Seeing this, Zheng Tianxiang didn't delay any longer, and cupped his hands towards Yan Qingwan: “Hahaha, very good, the Zheng family is full of sincerity, and I hope Fellow Daoist Yan can abandon the past and also wish the little friend a smooth entry into the sect assessment, goodbye.”

Yan Qingwan carefully explored with her divine sense and confirmed that there were no abnormalities in the bag of two hundred spirit stones, and that there was no problem with the bottle of mid-stage Qi Replenishing Pills, and instantly looked at Zheng Tianxiang's leaving figure suspiciously.

“Could it be that he really wants to befriend the Yan family?”

Li Ji'an's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Zheng family is probably going to take action.

“Alliance!”
