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

“Over the years, I have been cultivating in stillness, and now I have achieved Qi Refinement to Perfection. This descent from the mountain is also a trial to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough,” Xiao Xiyue said gently, her voice clear, cold, and touching.

“Hiss!”

Upon hearing these words, everyone couldn’t help but express their surprise, drawing in sharp breaths.

Qi Refinement to Perfection, searching for the chance of a breakthrough.

It was clear that she was looking for the opportunity to break through to Foundation Establishment.

Unexpectedly, in just ten years, Xiao Xiyue had cultivated to Qi Refinement Perfection and was preparing for Foundation Establishment.

The gap between her and the others could only be described as heaven and earth.

Not only were Hong Yi, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin surprised, but Lu Changsheng was also somewhat astonished.

However, Lu Changsheng was more bewildered.

He remembered that Xiao Xiyue had only a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root.

A Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, even within Immortal Sects, couldn’t possibly have such a fast cultivation speed.

“Could it be that Xiao Xiyue possesses some sort of Spiritual Body?” Lu Changsheng immediately speculated in his heart.

He had a simple reason for such a guess.

Xiao Xiyue was accepted as a disciple by a Nascent Soul Immortal.

If it were just a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, it was highly unlikely to be favored by a Nascent Soul Immortal to become a disciple.

At most, she would attract a Foundation Establishment elder to accept her as a disciple.

After all, within the entire Qingyun Sect, Nascent Soul Immortals are few in number.

Unless it was an Earth Spirit Root or a Heavenly Spiritual Root with truly extraordinary talent, they would not easily accept disciples.

“Or could it be the practice of a certain Cultivation Technique?”

Lu Changsheng thought of another reason.

He, practicing the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, knew the significant help a good Cultivation Method could offer to a practitioner.

Without that Scripture, which could refine Elixir Toxicity and ignore minor bottlenecks, his cultivation speed would certainly not have been so fast.

Therefore, he conjectured that Xiao Xiyue was likely also practicing such a Technique.

But this Technique came with side effects.

He had read in ancient tomes that many powerful Techniques come with side effects.

Like masculine becoming feminine, drastic changes in appearance, major changes in character and temperament.

Xiao Xiyue’s current appearance, which had changed, made him suspect it was a case in point.

Otherwise, how could there be such a dramatic change after just ten years of cultivation?

However, despite his speculation, this was not the kind of thing Lu Changsheng would inquire about further.

In the Cultivation World, one’s constitution and Cultivation Methods are exceedingly private matters.

“Then let me extend an early congratulations to Daoist Xiao on a successful Foundation Establishment!”

Hong Yi immediately picked up his tea cup in a daze and said so.

When the six of them first took part in the Immortal Sects’ examination together, he pursued Xiao Xiyue with feelings of admiration and love.

Thirteen years have passed, and he has achieved some success in the mortal world.

Yet Foundation Establishment still seemed to him an elusive term.

But now, Xiao Xiyue was already preparing for Foundation Establishment, which left him feeling particularly moved.

“Wishing Daoist Xiao the opportunity and success in Foundation Establishment.”

“We also wish Sister Xiao success in Foundation Establishment!”

“We also wish Sister Xiao success in Foundation Establishment!”

Lu Changsheng, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin also raised their glasses to offer congratulations.

“Thank you.”

Xiao Xiyue’s cool gaze softened somewhat as she raised her glass to drink with everyone.

But her eyes involuntarily fell upon Lu Changsheng once again.

She discovered that whenever she looked at Lu Changsheng, her heart experienced a faint, almost imperceptible flutter.

If not for the operation of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, even Xiao Xiyue herself might think it was an illusion, hard pressed to grasp this emotional flutter.

“To break through, do I really need to go through this emotional tribulation…” Xiao Xiyue murmured to herself as she looked at Lu Changsheng.

She thought of her master’s teachings.

To truly cultivate the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique to a state of heartlessness and forgetfulness, one must experience emotional tribulation to comprehend the essence of the Supreme Forgetful Love.

Although she didn’t know why, facing Lu Changsheng, why such a flutter arose in her heart.

But the Spiritual Mechanism within told her that her chance for a breakthrough might well lie with Lu Changsheng.

Thinking that her opportunity for a breakthrough fell upon Lu Changsheng, requiring an emotional tribulation with him, her heart was somewhat in disarray, clueless.

Over the years, she had been cultivating at Qingyun Sect, with little understanding of matters of affection.

She had only glimpsed such matters in books a few times.

What’s more, after practicing the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, her heart had grown more indifferent, almost forgetting affection.

Now, to face an emotional tribulation, she indeed didn’t know how to proceed or where to start.

“Didn’t I come down the mountain just to find this opportunity?”

“Now that the chance is before my eyes, why should I hesitate?”

At that moment, Xiao Xiyue’s conflicted heart became resolute.

When she initially chose to practice the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, she knew it was a path of no return.

She understood that without the mindset of “hearing the Way in the morning and being ready to die in the evening,” her progress in life would be halted, with no hope for the Great Dao.

Now that the opportunity was right before her, it was naturally not to be missed.

Moreover, from the recent chat, she had also learned that Lu Changsheng had numerous wives and descendants and rich experience in matters of affection.

Perhaps it was for that reason that her breakthrough chance was connected to Lu Changsheng.

Soon after, Xiao Xiyue gradually began to speak and joined in on some of the group’s topics of conversation.

“Daoist Hong, Daoist Lu, you who cultivate within the turmoil of the mortal world and tainted with the breath of mortal concerns, it may affect your cultivation.”

“However, if you temper your purity amidst the mortal world, it will assist in cultivation, mindset, and overcoming bottlenecks.”

When the conversation turned to cultivation, Xiao Xiyue spoke out, providing a few suggestions on their cultivation.

She often had guidance from her Nascent Soul master and practiced the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, which focuses immensely on mindset, hence she had many insights into this matter.

“Thank you for the guidance, Daoist Xiao,” Hong Yi said, visibly moved by the honor.

“Thank you for the guidance, Daoist Xiao.”
