Family Cultivation: Randomly refreshes information about a cultivation opportunity.

Chapter 268 Jun Xiaoyao's Expectations

The two drew closer and closer until they kissed...

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Luo Lingshuang's face was flushed, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused.

He slowly took out a blue-gold brocade box from his storage ring.

He said softly, "Xuan... Brother Chen."

"This is a gift I prepared for you, called 'Weak Water Sinking Star.' It can be used as an attack method or as a means of controlling enemies, and it is effective against cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage and below."

"It's not very well done, but I hope you like it."

As she spoke, she slowly raised the blue-gold sword tassel in her hand and held it in front of Zhang Xuanchen, her beautiful eyes blinking as she looked at the handsome young man in front of her.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

The sword tassel is seven inches long and consists of three rings, one tassel, and one tassel from bottom to top.

When gently waved, it leaves a trail of water like a star's tail, shimmering with light and color.

It is very exquisite and clearly a work of great care.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the phrase "didn't do a very good job".

Zhang Xuanchen accepted the sword tassel and said gently, "I like anything you give me."

Moreover, this sword tassel is so exquisite; I like it very much.

A gentle breeze blew by as the two nestled together, gazing at the breathtaking lake before them.

Huaguoshan.

A peerless figure stood proudly atop the mountain.

Looking at the two people embracing tightly in the night mist by Wangyue Lake, he chuckled softly.

"May the lovers be united in marriage. Congratulations!"

This peerless figure was none other than Jun Xiaoyao. He stood there quietly, seemingly blending into the surrounding space. Even Xiaolian, with her strong senses, couldn't detect him.

"I wonder how the Luo tribe will react when they find out about this?"

They must be furious, after all, their clan's pride and joy was actually taken by a cultivator from a small clan in this remote continent of the South Sea Immortal Continent.

"However, it's also possible that he won't be angry, after all, Zhang Xuanchen is the successor of the Xuanlong Venerable."

Moreover, his own talent is also quite good. He is at the late stage of Foundation Establishment at less than 21 years old, which is rare even in the Central Immortal Continent.

The only drawback is that he comes from a less privileged background.

"However, I do hope that the Luo Clan will be enraged, or even furious, and directly attack that brat Zhang Xuanchen."

That way, I can repay this favor.

Zhang Xuance's physique has been discovered by the spirit of the Three Lives Reincarnation Realm, and the Zhang family has begun a large-scale search for the spiritual objects needed to awaken his physique.

My current status is merely that of a household retainer. If I were to suddenly produce such a precious spiritual item, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of that brat Zhang Xuanchen.

They were even unable to stay at the Zhang family's house any longer.

Sigh, it's so hard to repay favors...

If the Zhang family didn't know the method for awakening the Starry Sword Body, he could easily find some excuse to fool them.

But that's clearly not going to work now; otherwise, anyone would notice something was wrong.

I can't repay this favor.

They could only place their hopes on the Luo clan taking action against Zhang Xuanchen, and then he would arrive on the wind, like a god descending to earth.

Luo Lingshuang rescued Zhang Xuanchen from dire straits and manifested her divine power before the world.

He is admired and respected by countless people.

After all, who would have thought that a family's retainer was actually a hidden mastermind?

Hahaha.

Just thinking about it is incredibly satisfying.

This was also one of the few ways he found enjoyment during his endless years in the Xuanqiong Immortal Cultivation World.

As he thought about it, Jun Xiaoyao's mouth stretched from ear to ear.

But the next moment, he looked up at the starry sky, his smile gradually disappearing and turning serious.

And anxieties about the future.

"My lord, you have indeed run into trouble."

The last spiritual bond between us has actually collapsed.

What exactly happened in the upper realm?

Is it because of you that the beings of the Xuanqiong Immortal Cultivation Realm cannot ascend to the Upper Realm?

Have you concealed the path to ascension?

Did you actively remove this spiritual shackle, or did you die and return to the world?

Or is sending me to this Xuanqiong Immortal Cultivation World part of your scheme?

"You know, this feeling of not knowing anything really annoys me."

Jun Xiaoyao had many questions in his mind, but he couldn't find the answers to any of them.

I'm feeling really down.

However, he believed that someone would eventually find a way to the upper realm again.

Some things cannot be completely concealed.

Just because Jun Xiaoyao can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

The truth will eventually be found.

He...can wait!

Thinking about this made me feel much better.

His figure vanished from the summit of Flower Fruit Mountain, as if he had never been there.

……

The next day.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Zhang Xuanchen then took Luo Lingshuang's hand and led her to the outside of her mother's courtyard.

They sensed the people inside the room.

Zhang Xuanchen turned to look at Luo Lingshuang behind him and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Lingshuang replied with a smile:

"I'm not nervous at all. Aunt Qing and Grandpa Guangyao are so kind to me, I'm not nervous at all."

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on Zhang Xuanchen's hand.

He raised his head and puffed out his chest.

Her rosy cheeks radiated confidence.

Having spent so much time together, she got along very well with all the elders of the Zhang family.

It's impossible to be nervous.

All I felt was happiness and excitement.

After expressing her feelings and establishing a relationship, she clearly felt that the flaw in her heart had been filled.

After another month of adjustment, it should be time to start working on breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Hearing Luo Lingshuang's words, Zhang Xuanchen smiled.

Then he pulled Luo Lingshuang open the courtyard gate and walked into the small courtyard.

In the courtyard lived a group of elders, including Lin Wanqing, Zhang Guangyao, Zhang Zuan, and Zhang Guanghan.

And his elder brother Zhang Xuanhu, Su Muyan, Zhang Xuanshuo, Zhang Xuanli, Zhang Xuanyue, Zhang Xuance and a group of younger generation.

There were more than thirty people standing and sitting in the courtyard.

The moment Zhang Xuanchen approached.

Zhang Xuanli immediately took the lead in shouting, "Congratulations, Seventh Brother and Seventh Sister-in-law!"

The children exclaimed, "Congratulations, Seventh Brother and Seventh Sister! We wish them a speedy delivery of a healthy baby!"

The elders exclaimed, "Congratulations, Xuan Chen!"

……

As the sound faded, the prepared fireworks shot into the sky and then exploded.

Brilliant sparks, like dazzling stars, gathered in the sky above everyone's heads.

A group of little girls jumped and danced excitedly around Zhang Xuanchen and his companion.

After playing around with them for a while, Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang bowed to Lin Wanqing and the other elders, along with Luo Lingshuang.

She said, "Mother, and everyone else, you're all here."

Then he turned to Zhang Xuanli and smiled, "Xuanli, this was your idea, wasn't it?"

"These days, you and Shuang'er have been leaving early and returning late without telling me. You're asking for it."

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Zhang Xuanli immediately came to Luo Lingshuang's side, gently shook her arm, and pretended to be aggrieved, saying, "Seventh Sister-in-law, look at Seventh Brother."

He only knows how to bully me. You'd better protect me from now on.

I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cheat on me!

Zhang Xuanli spoke with great confidence, glaring fiercely at Zhang Xuanchen.

Zhang Xuanchen was quite helpless about this.

Luo Lingshuang smiled, took Zhang Xuanli's hand, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Just then, Lin Wanqing and Zhang Guanghan walked over and whispered:

"Xuan Chen, Ling Shuang, you two have finally come together."

We've been watching this unfold with great concern.

However, the ending is good.

We are happy for you.

At this point, Lin Wanqing looked at Luo Lingshuang and asked with a smile, "Lingshuang, have you decided when to get married?"

Do we need to wait for your parents to arrive?

Lin Wanqing didn't want to wait.

However, she will respect Luo Lingshuang's choice, and will not force her if she is unwilling.

Upon hearing Lin Wanqing's question, Luo Lingshuang shook her head and said, "Aunt Qing, there's no need to wait for them."

It's uncertain when they'll be able to find us.

I am about to break through to the Golden Core stage.

She wanted to marry Brother Chen after breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xuanchen said, "That's how it should be."

Breaking through my cultivation level is the priority; getting married isn't urgent.

"In a few days, I'll take you to a great place for a breakthrough. Even if you make a huge commotion, you won't be disturbed by the outside world."

The condensation of the Great Dao Golden Core will surely cause widespread anomalies, thereby attracting many cultivators to come and investigate.

At that time, if these cultivators harbor any evil intentions...

If they join forces, the Zhang family, in its current state, cannot withstand them.

Therefore, he wanted to take Luo Lingshuang to that small space world in the Dark Night Forest.

There is a fourth-order spiritual vein there, with more than enough spiritual energy.

More importantly, it is well-hidden, so even if something strange happens inside, there is no need to worry about anyone coming to cause trouble.

The only person we need to be careful of is that guy named Han Li.

If possible, Zhang Xuanchen would not want to have any dealings with this person. If it weren't for him intercepting the information about the Immortal Fate, Xiao Tao and Da Sheng would have become Han Li's partners.

Zhang Xuanchen didn't want to have much contact with such a person with great fortune, firstly because they were strangers, and secondly because he couldn't be sure of their character and conduct.

One Xiao Yan is enough.

Too much contact will only bring him more uncertainty.

However, Luo Lingshuang must visit that small world to break through, and if that Han Li is there, they will inevitably have to make contact.

Even if they are not there... we still need to make contact.

If you want to completely obtain that space, you must get past Han Li.

Whether they ultimately become enemies or friends depends on Han Li's choice.

Luo Lingshuang was also somewhat surprised to hear this.

She originally intended to go to the Qingming Mountains to undergo her tribulation, because in her eyes, humans were more terrifying than demons and beasts.

During the tribulation, demonic beasts cannot disturb them.

Because this is suicidal; interfering with someone undergoing tribulation will inevitably incur the wrath of heaven.

Those demonic beasts had no grudge against her and would not attack her when she was undergoing her tribulation.

Even if we were to kill her, we would wait until after her breakthrough and the tribulation lightning dissipated.

Humans are different.

They might harbor murderous intent due to potential threats, and thus resort to underhanded tactics.

Looking at Zhang Xuanchen, he asked in confusion, "Are you talking about the place where Xiao Tao and the Great Sage were found?"

Is that place okay?

Can the secret realm be entered multiple times in a short period of time?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen saw the same puzzled looks on everyone's faces and knew that he hadn't explained the matter of Xiao Tao and the Great Sage clearly back then.

He explained, "That's not a secret realm, but rather it exists as a small world."

It has an entrance, so you can go in as many times as you want without any problem.

"That's great!" Zhang Guangyao said excitedly. "In that case, Ling Shuang will not be in any danger when she breaks through to the Golden Core stage."

It can be said to be foolproof.

Even if Yang Haoyu, the sect leader of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, successfully breaks through to the Golden Core stage, we will have nothing to fear.

"Yeah yeah."

"If this continues, the Zhang family will be able to unify the Penglai Islands in no time."

……

Everyone chatted amongst themselves, expressing their excitement and joy about the Zhang family's bright future.

Meanwhile, the Nine Hua Sword Sect.

Hua Shisan remained standing still, like a wooden statue.

After nearly a year of wind and rain, his clothes were already worn and tattered.

The external wounds on his body had long since congealed and scabbed over, and then fell to the ground.

This attracted countless small insects that vied for it.

His collar was covered in bird droppings, and his whole body reeked of an extreme stench, but he didn't care at all.

He stared blankly in the direction where Zhu Jingyi had exploded.

Suddenly, those dull eyes twitched.

His eyes were filled with surprise.

A vast spiritual power surged from within him, completely eliminating the filth on his body.

He flashed to the spot where Zhu Jingyi had self-destructed.

His purplish lips twitched incessantly, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Just now, he sensed a familiar presence.

That's the scent of my senior sister, Zhu Jingyi!

Yes!

The senior sister cultivates the fourth-order Crimson Phoenix Nirvana Technique.

Moreover, having already cultivated to the point of perfection, although not immortal, it is still possible to successfully undergo rebirth after self-destruction.

Although the probability is extremely low, it's possible.

"Senior sister..."

You're still alive... right?

Hua Shisan was extremely nervous and uneasy.

Because that wisp of energy disappeared.

Without hesitation, enduring the tearing sensation in his soul, he forcefully used his divine sense to perceive.

Its sensing range is not large, covering only a radius of thirty miles.

Hua Shisan frowned as he continued to explore inside the collapsed mountain.

Suddenly, his face lit up with joy.

Withdrawing his divine sense, he quickly walked to a pile of rubble.

Instead of using magic to violently remove it, he simply enveloped his hands with spiritual power and began digging piece by piece.

The movements were extremely fast, yet very gentle.

I'm afraid of hurting anything.

After clearing away all the rubble, a very faint ball of flame appeared before Hua Shisan.

Inside the fist-sized ball of light was a tiny, curled-up figure.

The villain was none other than Zhu Jingyi.

"Senior Sister!"

Hua Shisan was extremely excited and knelt down with a thud, shielding the faint flame beneath his body.

His body trembled, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"Senior sister, it really is you!"

Heaven has been kind to me, bringing you back to my side.

"Don't worry, no matter the cost, I will ensure your successful rebirth."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of spiritual energy flowed from his body, gently enveloping the ball of flame.

With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

Upon seeing Hua Shisan disappear from the spot, an outer disciple immediately ran to the sect's main hall to report the good news.

"Sect Master! Sect Master! Ancestor Hua has made a move!"

He disappeared!

Upon hearing this, Jian Yuntian suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say?"

Uncle Hua has disappeared?

"It's absolutely true, Sect Master. Ancestor Hua no longer stands in that place."

But we don't know where they went.

Seeing that he hadn't misheard, a smile appeared on Jian Yuntian's worried face.

Fortunately, Uncle Hua has come to terms with it.

Excellent, excellent!
