Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Returning to his detached residence, Li Guanqi's mind was a complete mess.

He didn't understand why the other party could say those words so easily...

But thinking about it carefully, in the long lifespans of cultivators in the Immortal Realm,

they seemed to have very... faint emotional awareness.

Perhaps in their eyes, only descendants connected by blood were closer.

Sometimes, the age gap between descendants was vast.

Like Lin Wujiu mentioned, the age difference between his uncles, aunts, and children could be hundreds of years.

It was possible to see an old man calling a child 'brother'.

It was also possible to see a son looking older than his father.

Or a scene where parents looked younger than their children.

This caused a misalignment between the education and influence he received in the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm.

On the way back, he ran into Qian Ronghe.

The old man simply smiled at this.

Standing beside Li Guanqi, the old man put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"Has little friend ever learned about the imperial families in the Spirit Realm?"

Li Guanqi shook his head. The only dynasty he had contact with was the Xuantian Dynasty where Li Shenzhi's father was.

The old man nodded slightly, looked up at the sky, and explained.

"Family affection in the cultivation world is more like that of a cold-blooded imperial family."

"The emperor has three thousand concubines in the harem. If a prince takes a fancy to a woman chosen to enter the palace,"

"the emperor might directly bestow her upon his son."

Li Guanqi frowned, not understanding this behavior.

Seeing his expression, the old man smiled, patted his shoulder, and continued.

"Perhaps you can't understand."

"But you must understand that in the eyes of the dynasty's emperor, there are only great ambitions, the country, and expanding territory."

"Besides that, women are just external objects."

"Princes fight for the throne, competing for power, openly and secretly, killing for their own benefit!"

"One general's success is built on ten thousand bones."

"It's the same principle as the children of immortal cultivators fighting for power."

The old man said softly, his eyes glazed over.

"Cultivators have long lifespans. They may have many women and many children in their lives."

"Some people may not even remember having such a child after hundreds of years. Why would they consider so much after a night of passion?"

"Whether it's the Immortal Realm or the Spirit Realm, once a cultivator has cultivated for over a thousand years,"

"their perception of family affection is very weak."

"For them, what really matters are the powerful figures they can attach themselves to, the alchemists they can curry favor with, the cultivation resources they fight for, and the Immortal Realm cultivation techniques."

Qian Ronghe stopped talking, perhaps feeling he had said too much.

He cupped his hands and smiled.

"Little friend, rest early. This old man has things to attend to and will take his leave."

Li Guanqi nodded silently.

Back in his detached residence, he sat on a chair in the courtyard, constantly recalling the old man's words.

After a long time, Li Guanqi came back to his senses and sighed.

He had to admit that the old man's heartfelt words made a lot of sense.

Li Guanqi put himself in that position. If Wan Shu was by his side, he might have a large group of descendants after thousands of years.

In addition, with the long lifespans of cultivators, if a thousand years really passed, his first generation of descendants, and the later descendants, plus the descendants of descendants...

Perhaps the feeling of family affection would really become very weak.

In fact, Li Guanqi didn't know that being able to realize these things was a first step in understanding the Immortal Realm.

With a troubled mind, Li Guanqi went to the cultivation room, set up immortal crystals, and entered a state of cultivation.

He also had some insights into body techniques, but he didn't dare to leave Jade Void City easily now.

Celestial Pivot Ascension Hall.

In a magnificent palace, the sound of smashing could be heard from the room!!

Bang!! Crash!!!

A man with a狰狞 face roared.

"Waste!! A bunch of waste!!!"

The man was panting like a bull, his eyes full of blood.

Unlike the thin affection of the Immortal Realm cultivators Li Guanqi had heard about,

Zhao Chengyong... was sick.

Zhao He was his only son. After Zhao He was born, he lost the ability to have more children.

Because the cultivation technique he practiced was a technique for women.

As time went on, his body had undergone many changes.

His beard fell off his face, and the man tore off his fake beard.

His eyes were as poisonous as a viper.

"Could it be Lin Chuanqing who made a move?"

"Otherwise, how could the murderer kill a Profound Immortal Realm level four!!"

Then the man took out a strange black jade slip from his storage ring and said in a deep voice.

"Help me kill someone!!"

The jade slip emitted a slight fluctuation and then fell silent.

On the other side.

Li Guanqi's cultivation speed had been very fast these days, but he had not chosen to use the power his grandfather had left him.

He didn't need to use these powers to break through too quickly right now.

Lin Chuanqing had been sending immortal crystals every day these days.

Knock knock knock!

"Brother Li, is Brother Li there?"

Li Guanqi waved his hand, opened the courtyard door, and covered the wine pot.

"Are you a dog?"

"I just came out of cultivation and wanted to drink some wine, and you came."

Qi Mobai licked his lips, his nose twitching, and flashed to Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi was surprised to find that Qi Mobai also had a tendency to break through to the second level of the Profound Immortal.

"Why is your strength increasing so fast?"

Qi Mobai scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"I ate a lot of pills."

As he spoke, Qi Mobai flipped his wrist and took out two jade bottles and handed them to Li Guanqi.

He was still very proud and said.

"Here, these are all the pills I made myself. I'll give you two bottles."

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, pushed the jade bottle, and said softly.

"Keep it for yourself. I still have some Profound Essence Pills here."

Li Guanqi knew that alchemy consumed a lot of energy. Since Qi Mobai came in, he found that the other party's face was pale and his lips were white.

It seemed that he had been refining pills day and night recently, and his mind was greatly consumed.

Qi Mobai drank the wine in small sips, grinning with a smile.

"No, this is for you!"

"I can keep four pills for myself in a furnace now!"

"Hehe, I'll eat two and keep two for you."

Li Guanqi looked at his bright eyes and couldn't refuse for a while.

He had to put the pills away.

Qi Mobai's eyes curved with a smile when he saw Li Guanqi accept the pills.

"Oh, by the way, City Lord Lin said that he would let me go to the Pill Hall next year to learn more profound knowledge."

Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, and said softly.

"I may not stay in Jade Void City for a long time. It's too comfortable here... it's not suitable for me."

Qi Mobai didn't persuade Li Guanqi to stay like others did.

Instead, he thought that what Li Guanqi said was right.

"Yes, people like Brother Li should fight with others and fight with the sky!"

Li Guanqi laughed loudly when he heard this.

Qi Mobai looked at the gilded earrings on Li Guanqi's ears and asked curiously.

"Brother Li is very manly, why would he wear earrings?"

The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth rose slightly.

"This is not just a simple earring, it's an agreement."
