Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 295 Suddenly
Changcui Mountain.

The entire mountain was covered with white cloth, shrouded in a deep atmosphere of grief.

The Lan family members knelt in front of the hall, most of them had red eyes and sad faces.

Lan Xinyi is good at managing the family, and Pingyang Mountain has also supported them from time to time. The Lan family has developed very well in the Red Mountains in recent years. Relying on intermarriage among clansmen and other methods, in just a few decades they will surpass the accumulation passed down by the Lan family.

The most talented person in the clan has already reached the late stage of Qi training and can try to break through to the foundation building stage.

There are many people on the hills of the Red Land and even outside forces who have friendly relations with them.

The news of the mistress of the Lan family's death at home had just been spread. At this time, some independent cultivators or family cultivators who were familiar with the Lan family had come to mourn, and all their interactions were filled with words of comfort.

However, they came here not only to mourn, but also with other thoughts in their hearts.

Even after the mourning was over, they were in no hurry to leave. Their eyes turned quietly, as if they were expecting to see someone.

Seeing this situation, the Lan family was secretly angry.

However, there was no reason to chase away the guests at this time, so they arranged to set up additional tables and chairs outside to accommodate more monks from all sides who came to mourn.

Besides...don't the Lan family members also have some anticipation for that person's arrival?
"Brother... now most of the fellows from the Red Land and Mountains have come to pay their respects, but there's still no sign of that person... Is he not coming?"

In the side room, a slightly overweight middle-aged man said to the elegant-looking head of the family in front of him with a slightly disappointed look on his face.

After saying this, he did not forget to glance outside the mourning hall, with expectation still in his eyes.

However, the Lan family's head's expression darkened slightly, and he said sternly:
"How can we control whether he will come? If he happens to be in seclusion for several years or even more than ten years, it will pass in a flash, and I'm afraid he won't have the time to pay attention to this matter!"

He sighed,
"The mistress has passed away. We, the younger generation, only need to take good care of her funeral affairs...don't worry about other things!"

The story between the Lan family and Master Li is still circulating in the Red Mountains.

Many people have always secretly laughed at the Lan family’s group of old guys for being short-sighted and unable to recognize the true God, which ruined their friendship with Master Li and their own lives in vain!

This matter had been discussed behind Li Ye's back when he established his foundation and conquered Pingyang Mountain. Now that Li Ye had become Master Li, the news had become even more widely spread.

Countless people in the four countries' cultivation world knew about the stupid things the Lan family had done back then.

If they had not joined forces with outsiders to deal with Master Li, especially Lan Xinyi, the mistress of the Lan family, the Lan family would probably be in great trouble today!

Even though the disciples of the Lan family who were later trained by Lan Xinyi from people with spiritual roots born from the family bloodlines around the mountains did not witness what happened back then with their own eyes, they still knew something about it.

While feeling great regret for what happened back then, I couldn't help but feel a bit of a desire to cling to someone.

There was little progress on this matter during the mistress's lifetime, but now that she has passed away, perhaps due to their past relationship, there may be some hope for a turnaround.

If the Lan family could get some care from Master Li, I'm afraid they would have the opportunity to take off immediately. This is something that cannot be taken lightly!

Just thinking about it this way, the head of the Lan family felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that he was unworthy of the mistress's years of training, as he even wanted to take advantage of the mistress's death.

I was very conflicted for a moment.

I was looking forward to Master Li coming to mourn today, but I also thought that if he didn't come, some of the clan's ideas would naturally have no way to be implemented, thus saving myself a lot of inner struggle.

Such thoughts kept lingering in the mind of the head of the Lan family until the guests left with some disappointment, the memorial service ended and everything returned to normal.

However, when the head of the Lan family went to the back mountain of Changcui Mountain to build a tomb next to the wooden house where the mistress lived to worship her, he saw a tall figure in a green robe standing quietly in front of the tomb. His aura was so restrained that he almost blended in with the grass and trees beside the grave.

The head of the Lan family was shocked and immediately bowed down.

"Greetings, Master Li! I didn't know you were here. Please forgive the Lan family for any impoliteness!" "No problem."

Li Ye did not look back, but just looked at the tombstone in front of her quietly. The face of the girl she once was seemed to appear before her eyes.
"How did she die?"

In terms of life expectancy, Li Ye is not yet ninety years old.

Lan Xinyi was much younger than him. As a cultivator, as long as she was not seriously injured, even if she only practiced Qi and could not increase her lifespan, she could still live to a hundred years without worries. How could she die so suddenly?

The Lan family's patriarch hesitated for a moment, "The mistress has rarely fought in her life, and she's not injured. It's just that she's been overworked for the family, and with her age, she's become worried and ill, so her condition is not as good as before..."

"Not long ago, she suddenly announced she would no longer manage household affairs and retired to this mountain cabin... Who knew she would pass away so suddenly?"

When he recalled it, his face still looked a little sad.

This was not an act in front of Li Ye to win favor, but a real and sincere feeling.

Even if it is acting, it is impossible to hide from the consciousness of a Jindan cultivator.

In order to strengthen the Lan family, Lan Xinyi devoted all her efforts to caring for and supporting the younger generations, which really touched him.

But before she could see with her own eyes a real foundation-building cultivator was born in her clan, she passed away, which was a pity.

"Worrying makes me sick..."

Li Ye chewed over these words and sighed softly.

All the emotions in my heart were suppressed.

Turning around, Li Ye looked at the kneeling Lan family patriarch. With a flash of green light in his hand, two objects flew in front of the elegant middle-aged man.

"I see that there are young cultivators in your clan who are close to completing their Qi training. Take this foundation-building pill and give it a try."

"And this wooden sign... can serve as proof. Your Lan family can use it to ask me for help in the future."

"This... Thank you Master Li for this generous gift. The Lan family is eternally grateful!"

The head of the Lan family was surprised and was about to look up to express his gratitude.

But suddenly, there was nothing in front of him... Where was Master Li?

……

Returning to Pingyang Mountain, Li Ye sat under the Kongjie tree with an expressionless face, looking at the night sky dotted with stars under the surging green air, his mind churning with thoughts.

No matter who was right or wrong in the Lan family incident, it no longer matters as everyone involved has died one by one.

Only regrets are left for those who are still alive!

As an immortal, Li Ye may have to experience more after today's events.

All he could do was to protect the people around him as much as possible and let them go further with him.

And he will also carry these with him as he gradually leaves, and continue on the path of seeking the truth until he reaches the top!
Li Ye slowly withdrew his gaze from the sky and glanced at the vibrant Yuanhua fruit tree not far from the Sky Realm Tree.

His expression changed slightly, and he sighed again.
"It will take some time for this tree to grow, but after all these years, Yuan Hua's spiritual essence has almost accumulated... It's time to start refining a batch of second-level longevity pills!"
