Great Xuan Kingdom, Anyuan City.
This was a small city, Anyuan City, in the Liu State of the Great Xuan Kingdom. There was only one main street in the city. However, since Anyuan City was located on a traffic artery and had a lot of business travelers, this small town could be considered prosperous.
Naturally, the residents in the city were mainly mortals, but there were also a few cultivator families hidden in the market. One or two Qi practitioners can be seen from time to time on the street. Most of them looked proud and arrogant.
There was a three-story restaurant in the central area of the city, called Rice Aroma Restaurant, which was the largest restaurant in Anyuan City. However, the people who could afford to spend money here were either celebrities, wealthy businessmen, or dignitaries. There were not many mortals.
At noon on this day, a man and 2 women walked into the Rice Aroma Restaurant. The three of them looked very young. The man’s appearance was a bit ordinary, but the 2 women looked stunningly beautiful. Some guests in the restaurant were a little dazed.
“Please come in. Are you here for a meal or a stay?”
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties with a lot of experience. He pushed away the waiter who was still dazed and greeted with a smile.
“Arrange a first-class private room, and then serve some local specialties.” The young man glanced around with a hint of reminiscence, then he said lightly.
“Okay, this way please.” The shopkeeper respectfully invited them to a private room facing the window on the third floor.
The private room was quite spacious and elegantly decorated. Looking out from the window, one could have a panoramic view of everything in the city.
“Is this where husband lived when you were young?” Jia Lan asked curiously as she looked out the window.
“Yes, but after so many years, the place has changed a lot.” Liu Ming said with a sigh.
He was still young at the time, so his memories of this place had long been fuzzy. The few places he could vaguely remember no longer existed, but he could still vaguely feel the hometown feeling.
Liu Ming looked at the stream of pedestrians outside the window, and an inexplicable emotion emerged in her heart.
It had been a long time since he visited the mortal world. Now he looked at these mortals who were like ants in the eyes of the cultivator. They were busy making a living all day long. Most of them had no choice, but to bow their heads in front of their fate. Their lives were full of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and there was no way to escape from the ultimate fate of birth, old age, illness, and death. However, for some reason, he was a little envious of them.
The seemingly short decades of time for mortals were far more colorful than the hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivator’s boring time of tens of thousands of years.
“Since this is husband’s homeland, let’s find a place to stay here. Husband has been traveling with us these days and has not made much preparation for the ascension. We should take this opportunity to prepare.” Ye Tianmei spoke softly.
Jia Lan nodded repeatedly.
Although they didn’t know much about the ascension, such a catastrophe would definitely not be easy. Liu Ming didn’t say anything about this, but they could guess it at their current level.
“That’s fine. There is a large valley outside the city. It is close to the mountains and the sea. The environment is quite serene.” Liu Ming’s mood was slightly touched. He looked at a 300 meters tall barren mountain outside the city and vaguely remembered going there when he was a child.
“Sir, your food and drinks.” At this moment, the waiter held a tray of food and drinks and ran upstairs.
…
Afternoon.
The lazy sunshine shone on the somewhat muddy green stone slab street in the city, dragging the shadows of the man and the 2 women long.
Liu Ming and his wives were strolling here after dinner.
Accompanied by the noisy shouts and shouts of the shops on both sides of the street and the whispers of passers-by, they were talking with fun. They seemed quite content.
At this moment, a few childish voices on the street side attracted their attention.
They stopped, looked over, and saw 2 boys and 1 girl. The 2 boys looked about 7 years old.
One of them had slightly dark skin, a somewhat honest face, and seemed to be a bit taller than his peers. The other was thin and had ordinary facial features. The girl was slightly younger, about 5 years old. Her pair of big eyes looked bright and moving.
The 2 boys seemed to be arguing about something, but the girl stood aside without saying a word, seeming to have a certain indifference that was inconsistent with her age.
“The immortal of the Savage Ghost Sect said that I, Mo Yao, have a rare spiritual vein. He will come to accept me as his disciple soon. After I learn the great ability, I will come back and marry sister Luan’er!” The honest boy said with a proud tone as he puffed out his chest.
“I also have a spiritual vein, and I will also learn how to protect Sister Luan’er!” The thin boy blocked in front of the girl and shouted.
“Haha, Mo Yuekong, I heard the immortal say that you only have the Three Spiritual Pulse with the worst qualifications. Even if you can barely practice, you are still a waste. No one will be willing to accept you as a disciple! Can you really protect Sister Luan’er from the bad guys?” Mo Yao put his hands on his hips and laughed.
“So what if I’m Three Spiritual Pulse! I can still protect Sister Luan’er!” Mo Yuekong replied without hesitation. His childish face was full of determination.
“Hmph, talk big is the only thing you know!” The honest boy seemed a little annoyed. He stepped forward and pushed the thin Mo Yuekong to the ground.
Seeing this, the girl quickly knelt down and tried to help Mo Yuekong, but due to lack of strength, they both fell down.
There happened to be a small muddy puddle behind them, which splashed the mud all over their faces and bodies.
The honest boy’s face was full of pride. He said to the girl,
“Sister Luan’er, why are you helping this loser? He can’t protect you at all! When I have mastered the skills, I will marry you! Then I will protect you!”
At this moment, there seemed to be an adult calling not far away. When the honest boy heard the words, he hurriedly responded and ran away.
“Brother Yuekong, are you okay?” The girl squatted next to Mo Yuekong. The original indifferent face showed a look of concern.
“Sister Luan’er, I’m fine. Trust me, I will definitely find a master and learn the skills to protect you!” Mo Yuekong took the girl’s hand and said seriously.
“I believe in you!” The Ling girl nodded vigorously.
At this moment, the 2 of them felt a soft force supporting their bodies, then a breeze blew past them, instantly cleaning up the mud all over them.
Mo Yuekong was overjoyed at first, but then he found Liu Ming and the others looking at them with smiles.
“Thank you for your help, immortal. I’m Mo Yuekong, the third son of the Mo Family in the east of the city. This is the eldest daughter of the Gui Family in the west of the city, Gui Moluan. May I know the names of several immortals?”
Although he said words of thanks, his little face was full of vigilance. At the same time, he pulled the girl behind him.
“I’m Liu Ming. This is my wives Ye Tianmei and Jia Lan. We just happened to be passing by here, so you don’t need to thank us.” Liu Ming replied with a smile, but he couldn’t help but examine the thin boy.
This boy indeed had a Three Spiritual Pulse. What was rare was that he had perseverance and vigilance at this young age.
The families that these 2 children belong to should also be a cultivator family. If they really encountered a bad guy, reporting the family name first could indeed deter him.
He vaguely saw his own shadow in this thin young man.
“If I heard correctly, you just said you wanted to become an immortal?” After thinking about this, he asked again.
“Yes!” Mo Yuekong said without hesitation.
“For what?”
“To Protect Sister Luan’er!”
“Good! I hope you will not forget what you said today and your true intention! I will point you a clear path today. Take this thing with you and go to the Savage Ghost Sect to find an immortal named Zhong Wendao, and he will accept you as his disciple.” As Liu Ming said, a white jade slip appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Mo Yuekong.
Mo Yuekong doubtfully took the jade slip and examined it carefully. Gui Moluan also moved closer out of curiosity.
At this moment, Gui Moluan felt a chill on her neck, and a necklace appeared out of thin air. It was a green jade pendant.
When she raised her head in surprise, she found that the 3 people in front had long since disappeared. At the same time, a clear female voice sounded in her ears,
“You possess a psychic sword physique. If you intend to cultivate with your Brother Yuekong, you can take this jade pendant and go to Tianyue Sect to find an immortal named Zhang Xiuniang. She will accept you as her disciple.”
…
Outside Anyuan City, in an unnamed valley facing mountains and the sea.
There were many trees in the valley, and there were many wild animals in the forest. The nearby villagers would occasionally come to the valley to hunt.
Occasionally, a hunter passed halfway up a mountain in the valley and was surprised to find that several ordinary-looking huts had been built here at some point. A man and 2 women were living here.
All 3 of them had unique temperaments, especially the 2 women who were even more beautiful than ordinary people.
The hunters were deterred by their temperament, so they did not dare to approach this place. They would take a detour when passing here while going up and down the mountain.
These 3 people were naturally Liu Ming, Jia Lan, and Ye Tianmei who had settled here.
They had lived here for more than a year.
In one of the largest huts, Liu Ming sat cross-legged in an array. There was a faint black light on his body. 5 mystic spiritual weapons with different lights were floating next to him.
The Demon Destroy Whip, Dust Cow Flute, Immortal Qu Yao’s serrated scythe, and 2 more weapons were obtained from the Primal Demon Lord in the Incarnation Realm.
Some kind of special enchantment was obviously applied to the hut to isolate the aura. Otherwise, the spiritual power emitted by any one of these treasures would be enough to stir up the natural aura within a hundred miles radius.
During this year, Liu Ming spent most of his time with Jia Lan and Ye Tianmei. In his spare time, he followed Luo Hu’s instructions to rest and meditate, comprehend the world, and refine magic weapons to prepare for the ascension tribulation.
TL: Finally last chapter next… Now he could ascend to the Upper Realm with peace of mind right?
