Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 20: Overwhelming wealth
After the two women exchanged greetings, Ning Haichan personally stepped forward and pulled Li Ji'an to the middle.

"Father-in-law, Uncle Chen, this is Li Ji'an. He is extremely talented and has a superior character. He is also the reserve immortal seedling of Chong'an Prefecture."

"Yes, yes, my brother Li is very powerful. If he hadn't been born in poverty, his current achievements would definitely be... just a little worse than mine, but definitely much better than her. Besides, Brother Li hasn't taken the marrow cleansing pill, right, Brother Li?" The many big guys present gave Ning Yutan courage. They pulled Li Ji'an's clothes and attacked Ning Sujin in person.

Ning Sujin's face immediately darkened, and she glanced at Ning Yutan sharply.

Especially when he saw Ning Yutan unscrupulously grabbing the corner of Li Ji'an's clothes, a fire inexplicably surged in his heart.

"Andi, didn't you say before that you had a special liking for the Su family's "Piao Ping Bu"? My grandfather is here today, you can ask me in person. Do you have any questions, grandpa?" Ning Sujin looked at Su Ji Shi, as if to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, in addition to her habitual confrontation with Ning Yutan and testing Su Jishi, she also really wanted to ask Li Ji'an for a martial art that could help him escape in an emergency. After all, that guy was terribly afraid of death.

"..." Su Jishi was stunned and was unable to react.

He looked at Li Ji'an, then at Ning Sujin, and then at Ning Yutan.

Suddenly, the old man's face became lively.

"This little bastard..." He finally stared at Li Ji'an meaningfully.

Ning Yutan was also shocked. She didn't expect that this old woman would be so crazy in order to compete with her.

"Brother Li, didn't you say that our family's "Falling Flower Sword Technique" is invincible in the world? If you want to learn it, I will let my father teach it to you. Right, Dad." She was not willing to be outdone and blinked wildly at his father.

"Ah!" Ning Haichan looked at Ning Yutan in disbelief.

Seeing that the two men did not answer, the two women looked at each other and continued to put pressure on them.

"Grandpa?"

"father!"

……

"This... 'Piao Ping Bu' is a martial art passed down in my Su family... However, if Su Jin asks, it's not impossible..." Su Ji Shi looked at the changes in Ning Su Jin's expression and finally relented. He came here with the mission of finding a way to resolve the misunderstanding between the grandfather and grandson, and to pave the way for inviting Ning Su Jin back to the Su family ten years later.

Anyway, if Li Ji'an marries Ning Sujin, then he will be considered a member of the Su family. He was able to achieve minor success in blood transfusion at the age of 20 and was listed as a reserve immortal seedling, which was enough to show his talent. He had basically no hope of becoming an immortal seedling, but if he had family resources to support him, he would have the hope of becoming a great master of Qi and blood in this life.

The Su family has been in a period of transition since Su Susu, the second-generation talent, was deceived by Ning Haichan, and the third-generation Su Fan was successfully taken to the fairyland by the immortal master. If Ning Sujin and Li Ji'an could return to the family, the family's status should be able to continue for another hundred years.

Ning Haichan reacted even more readily: "How difficult is this? I have always admired Ji An. As long as my nephew Ji An asks, there is nothing I can do."

"Hmm?" But Ning Haichan's straightforwardness made Su Jishi frown slightly.

I didn’t give the marrow cleansing pill to my precious granddaughter, and now a man wants to snatch it away?

It also ended the fight between Ning Yutan and Ning Sujin in a draw.

"Ning Haichan, what do you mean?" Su Jishi slammed the table and glared at Ning Haichan.

Ning Haichan was confused. Aren’t they choosing a husband for Su Jin?
You've already brought out all the Su family's skills, how can I be stingy? What's more, he will be my son-in-law from now on.

"Hmph, boy, listen carefully. As long as my Su Jin is willing, I can teach you my Su family's unique martial art, "The Torrential Pear Blossom Needle"!" Su Ji Shi directly bombed!

Click~ Ning Haichan was shocked!
The reason why "The Heavy Rain of Pear Blossom Needles" can be called a unique skill is that it has almost no rivals in the field of hidden weapons. It is a real top-level sneak attack and assassination technique.

If his son-in-law learned the Su family's unique skills, his Ning family would have a secret weapon even if Chen Xiaosheng passed away in the future.

With his heart agitated, he could no longer hold back and immediately looked at Chen Xiaosheng: "Uncle Chen, I've thought it through. If Ji An is willing, please let him be your successor! Pass on the "Heaven-Breaking Divine Fist" to him!"

"You!" Su Jishi's eyes widened.

Play so big!

Chen Xiaosheng, who had been eating melons and watching the show, didn't expect that the melon would be eaten by himself. He subconsciously looked at Li Ji'an a few more times. He was not unfamiliar with Li Ji'an, and could even be considered familiar with him.

How could the jealousy between the two daughters of the Marquis' Mansion be hidden from the Marquis' Mansion's spies in Xunxianyuan? The final confirmation that it was not Li Ji'an who took the initiative to play with the feelings of the two girls was the result of his personal secret observation of Li Ji'an.

His talents, temperament and even personality have been explored.

If he had not been delayed in his childhood, he would definitely be considered a prodigy.

He is personally very satisfied.

"What a ridiculous name like "Sky-Breaking Divine Fist"! I have never acknowledged this name. Anyway, I have already promised the old marquis. Just make sure of it." Chen Xiaosheng finally cursed with a smile.

As Chen Xiaosheng nodded in agreement, the guiding immortal official in the military tent looked at Li Ji'an with a completely steady look in his eyes.

Envy, wonder, intimacy, even a hint of flattery. He was the son-in-law of the Duke's mansion, the grandson-in-law of the Su family, the descendant of the Qi and Blood Grandmaster Chen Xiaosheng... and he had mastered four top-tier martial arts. One could foresee his future atop the Grandmaster Rankings.

Immediately, everyone's attention was focused on Li Ji'an.

Li Ji'an's eyelids twitched. He had indeed not anticipated this scene, and he was in no mood to rejoice over the four top-level martial arts that would make people get beaten to a bloody pulp in the outside world.

The two women have actually gotten used to the fight over the past five years, and after spending so much time together, they both know Li Ji'an's character and personality. They have long since changed from pure competition tools to friends and confidants, and they have a friendship with each other.

But it's still far from love.

However, after accidentally learning about Ning Sujin's miraculous ability to "seek good fortune and avoid misfortune" recently, Li Ji'an became a little obsessed with Ning Sujin's behavior.

In this regard, he admitted that he was a little greasy or that he was overwhelmed by the sudden sense of security.

But when he asked himself, it was more for the sense of security.

And this also has a premise. He already knew Ning Sujin's ambition to become an immortal. In addition to his talent, there was a high probability that he would ascend to heaven with the immortal master in the next generation, so he did not think about the future.

But now that Duke Dingguo and the ancestor of the Su family have gotten involved...it's obvious that they're here to get married, have children, and reproduce.

Putting aside the fact that he has the "rejuvenation" cheat, whether it is to keep this secret or because he does not want to experience the death of a beautiful woman or the knife of an old man sending off a young one, he is not suitable to get married and have children now.

The key point is that Ning Yutan is about to ascend to the fairyland, and he is also aware of Ning Sujin's desire to become an immortal. Who will he marry and have children with then?
Therefore, this was actually a misunderstanding. Su Jishi and Ning Haichan were blinded by the appearance of the two women fighting each other, and it was also a misunderstanding caused by the fact that both of them did not understand Ning Sujin's true thoughts.

He naturally couldn't let the mistake continue.

"I feel deeply unworthy of Sister Jin and Yu Tan's kindness. I am also deeply humbled by the kindness shown by the two Grandmasters and the Duke. I will always remember this kindness and will never forget it. However... I am determined to achieve immortality. For the next ten years, I will focus all my attention on cultivating my inner strength. I have no plans to practice external cultivation for the time being!"

After pondering for a moment, he spoke truthfully.

He didn't try to be clever and think of getting something for free.

It may succeed, but the risk is greater.

He did not try to be clever by dragging things out, delaying things, or being ambiguous, but expressed his feelings directly.

With the "Rejuvenation" ability, he couldn't say about it in the Immortal Realm, but in this mortal world, he didn't need to rush at all. He could take it slowly from one life to the next. Even the top martial arts ranked first on the martial arts list would definitely be within his reach. Why take such a risk now?
Otherwise, if Ning Sujin also ascends to the immortal world ten years later, how will he get along with the Duke's Mansion?
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was shocked as expected.

The other immortal officials who were receiving the immortals were shocked and surprised. How could he give up such immense wealth and power?
When they came to their senses, they all frowned slightly, with a look of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and looked at Li Ji'an with pity.

I secretly sighed that Li Ji'an was still young, arrogant, and didn't know himself, and didn't know the principle that a tall building starts from the ground.

Become an immortal?

If we count the generations of immortal seedlings throughout history, especially those in the current times, which one is not a descendant of a meritorious family?

Without the accumulation of several generations, no matter how talented an ordinary person is, how can he compare with the children of wealthy families who are as talented as him and have been supported by various precious resources since childhood?

Born in poverty, being able to become a reserve immortal seedling is a blessing earned through several lifetimes of cultivation. Now that peerless martial arts are presented to him, he does not know how to be grateful, but instead pushes it away with his own hands. He is truly foolish.

Perhaps, it was because he was born in such a small place and had not seen much of the world, so he felt good about himself because he was ranked among the top three in the state.

If he went to the imperial city and met those truly extraordinary geniuses, he would probably understand the gap between himself and others.

Especially when he knows how rare the martial arts skills here are, he will definitely regret what he said and did today.

However, this matter had nothing to do with them, so they didn't say much and just looked at Ning Haichan.

Ning Haichan's face froze. The first thing he thought about was not Li Ji'an's refusal to learn martial arts, but his unwillingness towards his precious daughter.

Seeking immortality? Could seeking immortality be comparable to his own daughter?

Is this little bastard really blind?
However, after regaining some sanity, he looked at Li Ji'an with a hint of appreciation.

First of all, it proves that this guy is not trying to get close to his daughter for wealth and glory or peerless magical skills, nor is he the kind of person who would compromise for fame and fortune.

Don't let beauty cloud your mind, don't let wealth blind your eyes, and don't bow down to supernatural powers.

"He's quite a character!"

Therefore, his desire for Li Ji'an to be his son-in-law became three times stronger.

"What's wrong with waiting another ten years?"

"I just don't know if I can get past this stubborn old father-in-law... And Uncle Chen has never looked favorably upon this successor in his entire life. He finally agreed to it, but now he's being rejected. I don't know..." He couldn't help but look at Su Jishi and Chen Xiaosheng with some worry.
