Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 635 Reunion

"As for the techniques you are practicing, you don't need to change them. Just continue to practice diligently."

Lu Ye gained a lot when he traveled back to the ancient times, but there was no progress in the human race's martial arts.

Because the human race was weak in ancient times, the inheritance of human cultivation techniques was blank. The few cultivation techniques that existed were pieced together by Lu Ye and Shangtianti.

Naturally, he couldn't produce any famous martial arts inheritance.

There is a book called "The Holy Ape's Way of Creation" which is also a holy book for the demon race to practice, and it is not suitable for everyone to practice.

So everyone continued to practice their old methods. All Lu Ye could do was to give them top-grade elixirs to increase the power of their spiritual weapons, speed up their practice, and then arm them to the teeth with many talismans, elixirs and weapons.

Lu Ye then asked Elder Tie Gong how many resources were left in the treasury when he left.

All the spiritual weapons, treasures and magical instruments in stock can be distributed to the disciples who have been extremely loyal to Zhongxiang Island over the years.

Even those independent cultivators who have taken refuge in Zhongxiang Island for a long time and have never left the island, can get some spiritual weapons. If they are willing to become Zhongxiang Island's disciples, it would be best to accept them and make up the total number of 800 disciples.

He would soon replenish the treasury with resources.

Everything was arranged. As they hadn't seen each other for ten years, they chatted for a while and then tactfully left.

Some of them were seriously injured and needed urgent recuperation, while those with minor injuries also needed to hurry up and refine their spiritual weapons.

Rugui Baozhu was only able to walk by himself, his injuries were serious and he still needed to go into seclusion to recuperate. This time the seclusion might take years.

Wang Hu and several other sworn brothers as well as Lan Wutong had just obtained magical weapons and spiritual weapons, so of course they needed time to refine and nurture them.

If for no other reason, the two-winged demon clan sent out spies this time and wiped them out completely. As long as the enemy is not stupid, they will most likely know that Lu Ye has really become a true god.

Besides, today Lu Ye opened his domain to hunt down several two-winged demons. That happened in full view of everyone, and the relevant information would definitely leak out immediately.

Who knows if the next one to attack will be the Devil Lord?

Therefore, everyone is anxious to refine magic weapons and spiritual weapons. It would be good if they could contribute a little when war really comes.

Until only Pan Furong and Lu Ye were left in the hall.

The woman couldn't hold back her tears and her eyes just looked at the empty space below Lu Ye's knees.

"Furong, don't cry," Lu Ye held her in his arms and said softly, "I'm back, aren't I?"

"I haven't seen you for nearly seventy years. Let me see if you have become thinner?"

Pan Furong spat and said it was not serious.

"Where did you get the seventy years? It's only been ten years."

"Have you been living in a daze all your life?"

"Why? Do you think I'm old and ugly?"

"Another seventy years older?"

Lu Ye laughed.

"My Furong is eternally youthful. Every time we meet, it's like the first time we met on horseback."

"I've grown old." Seeing that there was no one around, he picked up Pan Furong and walked towards the cave. "I hope my wife won't despise me!"

During these few days and nights, the two of them stayed together, and there was a lot of warmth and beauty, which is needless to say.

There was just one disappointing thing. Lu Ye found that no matter how he practiced the Immortal Spiritual Sutra, he could not suppress the speed at which his body became weaker.

In a few days, his body below the waist completely turned into nothingness. According to this estimate, he would be pulled back into the long river of time and space in just ten days. It seems that many things need to be arranged early.

In addition, in the past few days, he also took some time to approach the island owners who came from nearby waters to reassure everyone.

"Fourth Brother..." On this day, Lu Ye did not spend time with Pan Furong, nor did he meet outsiders. Instead, he called Shu Chitu and solemnly took out a jade box from his arms and handed it to him.

This jade box is very delicately designed, the size of a palm, with many layers of formations set up on it. In addition, there are three white talisman papers pasted on the outside of the jade box, and there are terrifying spiritual power fluctuations inside.

And a chain talisman array is set up on the outermost layer to suppress all the magic power fluctuations of the box and make it like an ordinary object.

Lu Ye taught Shu Chitu various seals and unsealed the jade box formation. When the jade box was opened, there was only a jade slip inside, which had turned yellow and cracked after countless years of baptism. It looked ordinary and unremarkable.

"Brother, what is this?" Shu Chitu was puzzled.

Lu Ye explained in a low voice.

"This is the treasure that will allow Big Brother to return to the living world."

“Without it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back.”

"In short, just keep it carefully. Remember, everything can be discarded, so you must protect it well."

"If it really comes to the point of escaping, we need to find a hidden place to house him and keep him safe."

Lu Ye thought about it.

Among them, Shu Chitu is a rat demon who is good at earth escape and is the best at hiding things.

The jade slip of the Immortal Spiritual Sutra is the anchor of his existence in this world. Without it, he would most likely be completely lost in the long river of time and space.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to give this item to Shu Chitu for safekeeping. If something unspeakable really happens, Shu Chitu can just throw the jade box into the ground, and the rest depends on luck.

Anyway, Lu Ye has become a god now, so any place Shu Chitu can go is naturally not a dangerous place for him.

This jade box is very sturdy. It is a magic weapon he has carefully refined. It can be thrown into magma without any harm. As long as it is not hit by a full-strength attack from a Jindan cultivator, even a Yuanying cultivator cannot hurt it in the slightest in a melee.

Shu Chitu understood Lu Ye's meaning, and nodded heavily, saying, "Brother, don't worry, I will protect this thing. It will be safe. I will treat it as I would my own eyes."

As long as I am in the box, even if I die, you will definitely take care of it.

Lu Ye laughed and said something unlucky, let's get together again tonight, prepare good wine and delicious food, and enjoy ourselves.

That night.

There was a round table in the hall, on which were fairy vegetables, fruits, wine and delicacies, all of which were brought back by Lu Ye from ancient times. They were full of spiritual power and many of them were rare items that had become extinct in this world. Most of them were treasures of the demon emperors killed by Lu Ye.

Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu, Gui Baozhu, Lan Wutong, Hong Jie, Fan Buju, Zhang Biao, Wang Zikuan and Elder Tiegong were all present. Everyone enjoyed the meal and marveled at it.

They only knew that what Lu Ye took out today were not ordinary immortal fruits and vegetables, but they did not know how precious these things were.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone temporarily forgets their worries outside and chats comfortably.

For some reason, the topic revolved around Wang Zikuan, and Wang Hu scolded him, saying that the girl from the Qi family was not a good match.

I saw that Zhongxiang Island was in a precarious situation before, so I cut off contact with you. Now that your uncle has returned from cultivation, he has come back to stay with us. He has been looking for you every day recently. You have been a smart kid since you were a kid, but you have been wrong about women. If you don't listen to your father, you will fall into trouble with this woman sooner or later.

It turns out that the girl from the Qi family is the beloved daughter of Qi Yue'er, the head of the Qi family on Shengxian Island. She is about the same age as Wang Zikuan. Because the Qi family is a subsidiary force of Zhongxiang Island, the two have been in close contact since they were young and can be said to be childhood sweethearts.

It was only because Lu Ye disappeared for ten years that the Qi family's daughter and Prince Kuan had been less in touch, but recently they suddenly became hot again.

Wang Zikuan didn't dare to say much. He shrank his neck and was scolded by his father, but there was still dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Seeing that his father was getting more and more excited as he scolded, he knew that his father had a poor alcohol tolerance and would talk a lot when he was drunk, so he rolled his eyes and hurriedly shifted the blame to someone else.

"Dad, I know I was wrong."

"But I am still a kid, and it is too far for me to have a Taoist partner."

"Dad, why don't you take care of things for my third uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle."

"The elders haven't found a good Taoist partner yet, how can it be my turn as a junior to come forward?"

When Wang Hu heard this, he thought it made sense and immediately turned around to persuade Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu and Gui Baozhu in a serious manner.

The three of them were immediately confused.

One of them lost his wife in middle age, one is a rat demon, and the other is a turtle demon, and they are both still single now.

"Third brother, Zhang Biao is already a grown-up, it's time for you to think about your personal affairs."

"Fourth Brother, what kind of female demon do you like? Tell Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, and we will find one for you."

"Old Fifth... your matter is the easiest to handle. There are all kinds of sea monsters in the King Snake Palace. With big brother's face, he can even marry the princess of the Dragon Palace."

The three of them waved their hands after hearing this. Zhang Cunyi said that he had no plans to remarry after his wife died, Shu Chitu said that he only focused on practicing, and Gui Baozhu said that the thin and long snake girls in the Wangshe Palace were not what he loved.

Wang Hu had a heated argument with the three of them, talking about the benefits of getting a wife and having children. Even Pan Furong and Hong Jie joined in to persuade the three to reconsider it. As expected, everyone forgot about causing trouble for Wang Zikuan.

Lu Ye sat upright on the chair, smiling as he watched his brothers and nephews chattering below. This was the warm and cozy atmosphere that people longed for.

Finally, Zhang Cunyi and others could not stand Wang Hu's harassment anymore, and they all agreed to ask his second brother and his wife to help find a suitable candidate. Only then did Wang Hu let them go.

"Ahem..." Lu Ye coughed at the top with a serious face. The noisy hall immediately quieted down, and even Wang Hu stopped acting drunk.

He slapped the seven-colored gourd on his waist, and a monster several meters in size immediately flew out of it and fell to the ground with a thud.

I saw this monster with a pointed head, a fat body, short legs, squatting on the ground. There were hundreds of poisonous sacs of different sizes on its back. It was a toad.

This creature exuded a thick corpse smell, and at the same time, there was a huge demonic power lingering around it like a pillar. There was a dark green area around it, which was hidden but not emitted, but it made everyone feel breathless.

This was actually the corpse of a Demon Emperor who had transformed into a god. It was this person who had been killed by Lu Ye when he first came out of the Ten Thousand Mountains. He killed the number one demon, the Toad Demon Emperor, with his sword. He had refined him into a corpse puppet with his soul as the inhabitant.

It is equivalent to a sharp magic treasure, which can exert 70% to 80% of its original power in life. However, it cannot be left too far away from the road and must be within a few miles to exert its effect.

"Everyone..." Lu Ye said slowly, "This is the treasure I left for Zhongxiang Island."

"This demon emperor was killed by me and turned into a corpse puppet. He can absorb spiritual energy and exert his magical powers by instinct."

"My soul has settled here. I will teach Lao Wu the seal later. You guys can learn it too."

"If a strong enemy attacks, you can work together to drive this corpse puppet, and with the power of the formation, it will be as powerful as a True Lord of Transformation."

"In this case, unless three or five Transformation Gods come in person, our Zhongxiang Island will be safe."

With Lu Ye's soul around, it will naturally guide the toad corpse puppet to absorb spiritual energy for combat, without consuming spirit stones or a large amount of the master's mana. However, controlling it against the enemy still requires a certain amount of spiritual awareness and mana.

Lu Ye has achieved the state of a spirit being, so cutting his soul won't cause much damage to him. It will just take some time to repair it.

Gui Baozhu was seriously injured and could not mobilize much magic power, but fortunately his spiritual consciousness was intact, and he could barely control the Toad Demon Emperor. If he joined forces with others, it would be even safer.

Under the influence of alcohol, everyone surrounded the Toad Demon King to observe him. Wang Zikuan even climbed onto the toad's back and stepped on it a few times.

Gui Baozhu muttered, "Don't worry, big brother. I will treat this corpse puppet like my ancestor and nurture it with kindness."

Wang Zikuan suddenly had an idea and turned around and asked respectfully.

"Brother, are you leaving?"

Lu Ye smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I have work to do."

"Today's feast has been completed, let's go..."

No one dared to go against Lu Ye's wishes, so they all took their leave. That night, Lu Ye comforted Pan Furong and gave her a series of arrangements.

When everyone came to pay their respects to Lu Ye the next day, they found that the eldest brother had already left and was nowhere to be found. Even when they asked Pan Furong, she just shook her head - your eldest brother did not tell me where he was going or what he was doing, he just left me a few storage rings, and if anyone from the major sects came, I would give them to them.

Wang Hu and others stamped their feet after hearing this. If they had known this would happen, they should have dragged their eldest brother to drink a few more glasses last night. Their eldest brother's physical weakness was so serious, could he disappear again after doing this?

They regret not mentioning it.

A few days later.

The bell rang for a long time, and the deacon disciple reported that there were distinguished guests from the Void Valley outside, and the leaders or next-generation leaders of several major sects came to pay a visit to Master Lu in person.

Everyone hurried out to greet them.

Outside the island, there were several people standing in the air, followed by dozens of followers.

The first person was Princess Longfu. She was dressed in silver armor, and her pretty face looked more majestic. After the death of the West Sea Dragon King of the King Snake Palace, she succeeded to the throne as the Palace Master and led the deep-sea monsters of the King Snake Palace to resist all the way, and finally retreated to the Void Valley.

Behind Princess Longfu is Qingyangzi, the eldest senior brother of Futu Island. Futu Zhenren was seriously injured in the past ten years and his body has seriously turned into a tree. It is said that his body below the waist has completely turned into old tree roots. He has been in seclusion for many years, and Futu Island has actually been handed over to Qingyangzi.

There is also Jian Qiuyi from the Chaoyang Sword Sect. He had broken an arm in the Dragon Palace Immortal Residence, but now he has a mechanical arm installed. He has a solemn face, a stronger sword intent, and a murderous aura. His master Chaoyangzi died in the battle to support the Chaoyang Sword Sect, and he has taken over as the head for many years.

There is also the extraordinary Marshal Haiyan. Ten years ago, he was still the arrogant genius who liked to wear flowers on his head, colorful clothes and jewels. Now he wears a simple green robe, has a calm expression, and has a few scars on his face, which strangely blends with his unique facial features. He looks much more mature and pleasing than before.

Yin Yiji of the Void Valley has succeeded him as the head of the Void Valley since the death of his master, the True Man Xukong. Now he is becoming more and more majestic, wearing a dark gold armor, frowning, and looking like a man who doesn't allow strangers to enter.

There are also Nangong Xing of Nanliu Sect, Jin Tianwang of Jinding Sect and others. Jin Tianwang is now the head of Jinding Sect. His master, Jin Dingjun, passed away several years ago because he was injured while dealing with the attack of demons.

Except for Qing Yangzi who has not yet inherited the position of the headmaster, the others are already the leaders of their own factions. However, Qing Yangzi has also secured his position as the next headmaster of Futu Island.

Among the old generation of leaders, Jin Dingjun, Chaoyangzi, Xukong Zhenren, and the Dragon King of the West Sea have all fallen, and the remaining Futu Zhenren is barely alive. However, Shuai Daozi is getting stronger with age and is in charge of all affairs of Xukong Valley. However, he was once the most handsome man in the East China Sea, but it is said that he now has many scars on his face and is completely disfigured.

The people who came to the island to visit Qing Yangzi and others were all geniuses who appeared originally because of Cheng Bingyan's recruitment of a husband on Futu Island. Now they have taken on the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion of the demons.

They all looked sleepy, their robes or armor were disheveled and stained with blood, and it was obvious that they had been through a tough battle. No one knew what they had gone through before.
