Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Although Li Zhirui came to the human race to experience the mortal world and temper his Dao heart, it is not right for him to harm an innocent person for this matter.

"If you're interested in this, you should contact me! I'll introduce you to someone, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Aunt Zhang advised him for a few moments, but seeing that he still had no intention of agreeing, she gave up for the time being.

"I'll definitely have to trouble you then, Auntie," he replied with a smile.

But once inside the courtyard, Li Zhirui frowned and began to seriously consider the matter. If he wanted to stay any longer, this was indeed something that needed to be taken seriously.

After all, very few people among the human race at this time are not married, which would certainly attract a lot of attention, and he did not want to be constantly affected by this matter.

Therefore, we need to resolve this matter as soon as possible!

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhirui came up with two different solutions. One was to change his living location. After all, Tianxing City was extremely large and divided into several markets. Ordinary people might spend their entire lives living in just a few nearby markets.

Another method is to use magic to create a wife, but that is not an easy thing to do.

Because of the restrictions and suppression within Tianxing City, the strength of alien cultivators like him was significantly suppressed, and he was unable to use ordinary spells.

Unless Li Zhirui is willing to seek out the few Golden Immortals of the human race guarding this place and obtain some spiritual items or qualifications from them.

But he was unwilling to owe this favor unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, he was unwilling to use his magic at this time. Since he was going to experience the trials of the mortal world, he would live a simple life like an ordinary person.

After careful consideration, Li Zhirui finally decided to leave this place and start a new life in a market town.

And to avoid the situation where someone comes to propose marriage again, he decided to change his appearance and become a middle-aged farmer with a weathered face.

With his appearance, it's unlikely anyone would be interested in him.

Within a few days, Li Zhirui sold his house, found a merchant guild, and left the market with them.

Although they are all within the city, the distance between the wards and markets is much greater than the distance between the county towns.

Even though the merchant guild's mounts could travel hundreds of miles a day, it still took several days to reach their destination, which shows how vast the interior of Tianxing City is!

The place he chose to live in this time is located near a bustling and prosperous street, but the two places are completely different despite being separated by only a wall.

Narrow, desolate, and lonely, it was the complete opposite of the main street. The residents here were all elderly men and women, and it exuded a lifeless atmosphere.

Li Zhirui chose this place, rather than a better one, for reasons he had. After all, in the mundane world, besides love and hate, there is also separation and death.

And this Lengjing Lane perfectly fits his requirements.

For him, the pain of parting was something he had experienced many years ago, and as for the pain of life and death? That was a story from countless millennia ago.

After all, his close Daoist partners, offspring, companions, and clansmen were all alive and well before he left the Yuanling Realm, and each of them had considerable cultivation and lofty aspirations, so there was no risk of them perishing.

Therefore, with the passage of time, Li Zhirui had almost forgotten what the emotions of life and death were like, so he came to this place intending to experience it firsthand.

The most effective way is to personally participate in the situation. For example, after sealing your memories, get married and have children, and then wait for decades to awaken amidst the endless pain of losing your wife and children.

But this is too dangerous; if you're not careful, you could easily get yourself into trouble!
Most importantly, this place is not safe! Li Zhirui himself is not at ease either!

There are three Golden Immortals guarding Tianxing City. They might be somewhere right now, observing his every move.

If they knew that he had sealed away all his memories and cultivation level to become a mortal in order to gain experience, who knows what methods they would use against him.

This risk is just too great!
Besides, Li Zhirui hasn't encountered any bottlenecks yet and isn't in a hurry to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, so there's no need for him to take such a risk.
His guess was correct.

Meanwhile, inside the naval base.

"I never imagined that this disciple of a sage would actually come to the mortal world for training..."

One of the human Golden Immortals, Gu Yun, paused for a moment and said, "At first, I thought he had some unknown purpose."

"Yes! Who would have thought he would be so serious?"

“Since he’s honestly training in the mortal world, let him be. As a disciple of a sage, he’s unlikely to go back on his promise to preach three times in Tianxing City,” said Gu Ning, whose cultivation level was higher and whose strength was greater.

During this time, the three of them did nothing but keep an eye on Li Zhirui's every move. If he did anything that was detrimental to the human race or had any ulterior motives, they would immediately activate the restrictions to suppress his strength with all their might, and then capture him.

But he did nothing; instead, he quickly blended into the ranks of ordinary people, a move that reassured them.

……

Sun rises and sets, spring goes and autumn comes.

Before we knew it, several decades had passed.

The once desolate and lonely Lengjing Lane has become even more dilapidated and decayed, devoid of any vitality, as if all the mortals in the lane have died.

And that is indeed the case in reality.

With few young people willing to move in, over several decades, all the original elderly people died!

Some died from a serious illness, some from hunger, and some from their lifespan...

In short, there is no one left living in this alley.

Of course, Li Zhirui, who is no longer human, still stays in a dilapidated courtyard, closing his eyes and concentrating on experiencing the emotions of birth, aging, sickness and death that he has collected over the past few decades.

Because he was so engrossed in it, he soon radiated sadness and pain.

I don't know how much time has passed; it might be a moment, or it might be decades.

Suddenly, Li Zhirui opened his eyes wide. All the negative emotions he had felt were swept away, and he became radiant, looking as if he had gained a lot.

Indeed, in just a few decades, his cultivation level has advanced by one step. Although it is still far from breaking through to the mid-stage of Golden Immortal, this improvement still makes him very happy, after all, it did not take much time.

Compared to those who often secluded themselves for hundreds or even thousands of years to cultivate, his few decades were nothing at all.

However, this method cannot be used frequently, because it requires a high level of spiritual resolve and mental state, and problems may arise if one is not careful.

Even if one's Daoist heart and state of mind are not problematic, there are still certain risks.

Regardless, Li Zhirui was very satisfied with this experience!

"It's time to leave." After spending some time fully recovering, the thought of leaving arose in his mind.

However, before that, he still had to complete the three sermons he had promised to give.

With that thought in mind, Li Zhirui flew towards the garrison headquarters.

He arrived at his destination shortly afterward.

The three Golden Immortals of the human race in the mansion already knew of his movements and even specially dispatched one of them to greet him at the gate.

"Judging from your condition, fellow Daoist, you must have gained a lot from this trip!" Gu Yun joked with a smile.

Li Zhirui smiled slightly and said, "It's also because Tianxing City is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, otherwise how could things have gone so smoothly?"

He thought to himself, "As expected!" They must have been observing him secretly through some special, covert means; otherwise, how could this have happened?!
This made him slightly displeased. You see, secretly spying on a cultivator's cultivation is no small matter, because it could very well reveal the operation of their cultivation techniques, methods of cultivation, and so on.

If he hadn't still been in Tianxing City, and if they hadn't had three Golden Immortals, Li Zhirui would have already turned against them.

"Hahaha, please come in."

The two arrived at the main hall, greeted each other, and exchanged pleasantries.

"I have come here mainly to fulfill the conditions I promised to three fellow Daoists. I wonder when you would be a more suitable time to preach?"

That being said, Li Zhirui came here to ask them to take charge of organizing this matter. After all, it's impossible for an outsider like him to handle such a thing. Besides, he didn't want to waste time and energy on these trivial matters.

The three instantly understood his meaning, exchanged glances, and probably communicated with each other using their divine senses. Finally, Gu Ning spoke up, saying, "Fellow Daoist, are you ready? If you're not in a hurry, I think nine days from now would be perfect."

"As for the location, let's set it at the academy."

Nine days is enough time for them to mobilize as many cultivators in the city as possible, and the academy is large enough to accommodate more people.

In short, they all wanted to seize this opportunity to further enhance the strength of Tianxing City.

“Alright, then I will go to the academy in nine days.” Li Zhirui had no objection and nodded in agreement.

He then got up to say goodbye and left, figuring he could just find an inn to stay at for a few days.

Gu Ning and the other two had no intention of trying to keep him; they were all thinking about hurrying to inform the cultivators in the city, especially those promising junior Celestial Immortals and Profound Immortals.

I don't expect them to achieve a breakthrough on the spot after a few sermons, but I hope to help them shorten the time and find their direction.

After all, as the prehistoric world further recovers, the strength of various races is also rapidly increasing, and Tianxing City needs to have even greater power in order to stand firm!
As for why they didn't want to ask the Human Race Ancestral Court for help? It's because there are simply too many humans scattered throughout the prehistoric world. Even the Human Race Ancestral Court doesn't have enough Golden Immortal cultivators to send out to provide support.

Therefore, we still have to rely on our own development to survive in the primordial world!
……

Nine days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Zhirui arrived at the academy early. It wasn't hard to find, as it was right next to the garrison headquarters, which showed how much Gu Ning and the other two valued the academy.

He thought he had arrived early enough, but when he pushed open the door, he found it was already packed with people!

Not only that, but there were also a large number of cloud beds floating in mid-air, which were also crowded with humans, numbering at least tens of thousands.

"This……"

Li Zhirui was speechless for a moment. No wonder the human race was able to rise and become the protagonist of the prehistoric world.

With a large population and a racial character characterized by self-reliance, perseverance, diligence, and hard work, it would be strange if they didn't rise to prominence!

Although he is no longer human, he still can't help but feel a bit proud.

"Oh, fellow Daoist, you've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing Li Zhirui for the first time, Gu Yun hurriedly pulled him aside and said anxiously, "After the cultivators in the city learned that a disciple of the Shangqing Dao would be giving a lecture at the academy today, they flocked here one after another. Even though we have some restrictions, there are still too many people."

"In this crowded situation, if someone gains some insight while listening to the teachings, and is disturbed by the cultivators around them, wouldn't that be dangerous?!"

At that point, not only will your cultivation level increase, but you might also suffer a backlash.

In fact, the current situation has far exceeded the expectations of Gu Ning and the other two.

They originally thought that even with their own publicity and gathering, many cultivators would be unwilling to come and listen to the teachings. But to their surprise, as soon as the news spread, almost all the cultivators rushed over, including human cultivators from outside the city!

The reason this happened was mainly because the three of them underestimated the allure of a sage's disciple!
Perhaps Li Zhirui is just an ordinary Golden Immortal cultivator, but his background is extraordinary! The Shangqing Dao is a lineage founded by Shangqing Daozun, one of the nine great sages!
Even learning just a fraction of the sage's techniques would be an immense blessing for them.

How could these human cultivators not be excited by this?
"Do you think we should move to a more spacious place to preach?" Gu Yun then asked.

"Fellow Daoist, I am not familiar with the situation in the city and have no way to solve this problem!" Li Zhirui looked helpless. In any case, he was only responsible for preaching and would not care about other matters.

"I was confused!"

After expressing his apologies, Gu Yun said, "Please wait in the backyard for a moment, fellow Daoist. After this matter is resolved, we will come back to invite you to preach."

"it is good."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

"What do you think we should do to solve this problem?" Gu Ning frowned slightly. He had meant well, but if he were to preach under the current circumstances, it would only cause trouble!
"How about setting up a few more cloud beds? That way, we won't have to move to a different place, and we can free up a lot of space. We won't have to worry about everyone being crammed together."

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

Gu Ning made the final decision, then instructed, "Summon all the lecturers from the academy to set up the cloud beds together. It must be done as soon as possible!"

Thanks to the efforts of many cultivators, several more cloud beds appeared in the academy in no time. It was precisely because of these many cloud beds that the academy was not so crowded.

At this moment, Gu Yun also came to Li Zhirui's side and said, "Fellow Daoist, everything outside has been arranged. Now we are just waiting for you to start your sermon."

"I'll go right now."

Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up from the prayer mat and walked towards the front yard.

Then they saw the cloud bed that had already risen into the air, and the cultivators sitting inside it. (End of Chapter)
