Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 155: The Only Gold Core of the Immortal Mist Sect, the Former Sect Master's Demise

"Alright, but I wonder which way we should go?" Zhou Sui curiously asked.

After all, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is still quite a distance away from the headquarters of the Immortal Mist Sect, at least several thousand kilometers.

"We should first return to Misty Cloud City."

"Then we can take a flying boat back to the Immortal Mist Sect."

"We can't take a flying boat in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range because there are too many demonic beasts here, and it's easy to disturb the Rank Three demonic beasts here," explained Elder Ren Hui.

When they entered the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they also traveled on foot.

After all, the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range is enveloped in clouds and mist, and it's easy to get lost if they take a flying boat.

They might even accidentally stumble into the lair of a Rank Two demonic beast, and that would be disastrous.

"Alright."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui nodded.

Then Ji Bingyu and the others quickly packed their things and left the valley where they had lived for over a year, heading towards the Immortal Mist Sect to start a new life.

To be honest, he was also looking forward to going to the Immortal Mist Sect.

He didn't know what the legendary Gold Core sect was like.

This was his previous life's lifelong dream, as well as the dream of countless independent cultivators.

But he achieved it so easily, of course, he didn't enter through the proper channels.

He purely relied on marrying the Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect to gain entry.

It could be considered taking a shortcut.

................

At this moment, at the headquarters of the Immortal Mist Sect, on the main peak, Xianxia Peak.

An old man in white robes lay weakly on the bed, his breath as thin as a thread. He was the former Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect, Leng Chantian.

He was also Leng Yuxi's father.

On the surface, the Immortal Mist Sect had achieved a complete victory in the sect war, but in reality, Leng Chantian had also been seriously injured.

Coupled with his old age, he was basically at the end of his life.

It wasn't just Leng Chantian, even the Elder Yuan Chen, the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Mist Sect, had exhausted his lifespan and died.

The entire Immortal Mist Sect was left with only one Gold Core cultivator, Leng Yuxi.

To be honest, if it weren't for Leng Yuxi's promotion to Gold Core, the vast Immortal Mist Sect would have been left without a successor.

It might have disappeared into the river of history.

"Yue Xi, do you hate me? Do you hate me for not saving you?" Leng Chantian looked at his daughter.

"Hate," Leng Yuxi didn't hesitate and calmly replied.

"Good, worthy of being my daughter, daring and outspoken. It's only natural for you to hate me," Leng Chantian said.

"But everything I did was for the Immortal Mist Sect. If I had saved you, the Immortal Mist Sect would have been completely finished. So I have no regrets," he continued.

"Fortunately, you are a person with great luck. Not only did you survive a great calamity, but you also advanced to Gold Core. It can be considered the luck of our Immortal Mist Sect," he said.

"Unfortunately, I'm about to die, and your time to hate me won't be too long," Leng Chantian smiled, very open-minded.

At the moment of death, one sees everything clearly.

Even if his daughter resented him, he didn't care. When a person dies, everything becomes meaningless.

Hearing this, Leng Yuxi remained expressionless, still quietly looking at her father, without saying a word.

"By the way, after I die, don't announce my death. Just say that I'm in seclusion," Leng Chantian instructed.

"After all, it's normal for a Gold Core cultivator to go into seclusion for several decades."

"It's better for the Immortal Mist Sect to have two Gold Core cultivators than just one. This way, we can also deter other sects."

"As for the news of Elder Yuan Chen's death, it doesn't matter if it's announced."

"After all, he has lived long enough, and it's not surprising that he died now."

"And with the two Gold Core cultivators in our Immortal Mist Sect, it will put the Qingmu Sect and the Alchemy Cauldron Sect at ease, preventing them from posing too much of a threat and making it easier for our Immortal Mist Sect to survive."

Leng Chantian rambled on, starting to make arrangements for after his death.

"Mm."

Leng Yuxi nodded.

"By the way, did you order Elder Ren Hui to bring that man from Immortal Mist Sect? Is he really your Dao companion?"

"Is that man reliable?"

Leng Chan changed the topic and suddenly brought up this matter.

After all, that man was her daughter's Dao companion, so he couldn't help but care.

He felt complicated about his precious daughter being taken away by another man after raising her for so many years.

"He is reliable, much more reliable than you, Father."

"The reason why the poison on my body can be cured is because of him."

"Even the success of my Core Formation this time is thanks to him."

"If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back this time."

Upon hearing her father mention Zhou Sui, Leng Yuxi's expression softened significantly, no longer as cold as before.

Her heart also thumped with excitement, filled with intense emotions.

After all, she hadn't seen her husband for a month, so she naturally missed him immensely.

"That's good, reliability is the most important when looking for a man."

"I have always trusted your judgment."

"Unfortunately, I won't be able to see your Dao companion alive."

Leng Chan felt regretful, but his heart was instantly relieved.

Although his precious daughter was taken away by someone else, he was not completely displeased. Seeing his daughter's expression, it seemed that she really loved her Dao companion, and that was enough.

Of course, he had heard that the man was only at the Qi Refining stage of cultivation.

But so what?

A Gold Core male cultivator could marry many Qi Refining female cultivators, even Foundation Building Stage female cultivators.

So, a Gold Core female cultivator could naturally do the same.

If she became dissatisfied in the future, she could simply kick him out.

After all, as a dignified Gold Core cultivator, marrying several concubines was not a difficult matter, right?

In any case, in the world of cultivation, cultivation level and strength were more important.

As long as one had powerful strength, they could do as they pleased.

Boom~

At this moment, Leng Chan's neck tilted, and he fell onto the bed, his aura quickly disappearing.

Obviously, after finishing speaking, he had exhausted his last breath.

"Father, rest in peace."

Sensing her father's completely extinguished aura, Leng Yuxi's emotions were complex, a mix of various feelings, and she didn't know what to say.

Although she did resent her father's heartlessness, she could also understand his actions.

But no matter what, debts were cleared upon death.

Now that her father had died, there was no point in dwelling on the past.

Of course, she didn't feel too sad either.

Her father had lived for over four hundred years, longer than the lifespan of an ordinary dynasty.

He had enjoyed all the wealth and glory of the mortal world, so his life was considered worthwhile.

In a way, this could also be considered a joyous funeral.

Swish!

Thinking of this, Leng Yuxi waved her hand and immediately placed her father's corpse in the prepared coffin, then placed it in his Cave Mansion.

After all, she needed to maintain the illusion that her father was still in seclusion.

If other sects were to find out that there was only one Gold Core cultivator left in the entire Immortal Mist Sect, they would likely have ill intentions, and Immortal Mist Sect would face another crisis.

Although she didn't know how long she could hide her father's situation, she could at least conceal it for several decades.

By then, her cultivation would have advanced even further, and she wouldn't need to worry about other things.

This is the end of this chapter.
