Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Lu Qinghe, accompanied by several trusted stewards, rushed to Qingyi Courtyard, eager to report this tremendous good news to the head of the family as soon as possible.

However, when the group arrived outside Qingyi Courtyard, they all stopped in their tracks.

The gates of Qingyi Courtyard were tightly closed. As soon as the group approached, a golden light appeared, with dense incantations flowing within it, radiating a terrifying aura.

Lu Qinghe felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively took a step back, at which point the golden light disappeared.

She frowned slightly, her expression filled with surprise and uncertainty. "What's going on? Is it an invasion by foreign enemies... or..."

After thinking carefully for a moment, she cautiously took another step forward.

However, the same scene repeated itself. As soon as she approached the gate, the golden light reappeared, and a terrifying pressure emanated from it, as if taking another step forward would result in her complete annihilation.

Lu Qinghe involuntarily took two steps back, her forehead already beaded with cold sweat.

The managers following behind her were equally terrified, exchanging bewildered glances, but none dared to utter a sound.

Lu Qinghe composed herself and, after a moment's thought, said, "Since the patriarch won't let us get close, it must be a crucial moment in our cultivation. Let's wait outside for now!"

In truth, she knew very well that Lu Nanxi had no such methods, but she had no choice but to do so in order to appease people.

They waited from midnight until dawn.

More and more members of the Lu family gathered outside Qingyi Courtyard. The elders, stewards, and deacons from each branch of the family all came, forming a dense, dark mass.

The Daoist restrictions outside the courtyard were unprecedented, preventing anyone from getting close. Some people vaguely guessed what was going on, but dared not speak out, their eyes merely flickering.

As the sky grew brighter and the sun rose in the east, the morning light spilled across the glazed tile roof of Qingyi Courtyard, and the dewdrops on the flowers and trees throughout the courtyard sparkled in the sunlight.

The crowd outside the courtyard was growing impatient.

Inside the main room of the courtyard, morning light streamed through the carved window lattice onto the couch, and Lu Nanxi slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw Wu Tian smiling and looking at her.

She paused for a moment, then memories of last night flooded back, and her cheeks flushed red.

"What time is it?" Lu Nanxi asked groggily, her voice hoarse and languid from just waking up.

"It's already dawn." Wu Tian chuckled and pinched the tip of her nose. "Nanxi slept so soundly last night."

Lu Nanxi lightly punched him and said reproachfully, "It's all your fault..."

Instead of getting up immediately, she snuggled closer to him, savoring the long-lost warmth and tranquility.

After a brief moment of tenderness, the two discussed some private matters from the previous night. As Wu Tian played with her soft flesh, he suddenly said, "While you were asleep last night, I went out and wiped out all the cultivators in the Cao family."

Lu Nanxi was stunned, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering, her face filled with disbelief. "You... what did you say?"

Seeing her dazed expression, Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and stroked her bare shoulder, his slender fingers lingering and caressing her shoulder blade, his voice filled with a touch of doting affection.

"Cao Tiangang is dead, and the news of the Cao family's demise should have spread by now. Some members of the Lu family couldn't sit still and came to see you late last night. I was afraid they would disturb your rest, so I kept them all outside."

He paused, glancing out the window. "Once you're ready, you can go out and meet them."

Lu Nanxi's expression was incredibly complex, a mixture of shock and confusion. After a long while, she seemed to suddenly realize something, "You mean... there are a lot of people waiting for me outside?"

Wu Tian looked at her with a smile, "Yes, I set up a barrier to prevent them from getting close, and I'm just waiting for you to wake up. They've been waiting for most of the night."

Lu Nanxi quickly sat up from the couch, the brocade quilt slipped off, revealing a large expanse of snow-white, bare skin and the alluring curves of her chest. "Why didn't you just wake me up?"

She frantically searched for her clothes, her movements revealing a captivating curve.

Wu Tian lay lazily on the couch, one hand supporting his forehead, his gaze leisurely following her every move. "It's just some trivial matter, why bother getting you up in the middle of the night?"

"Just let them wait a little longer..."

Sunlight shone on Lu Nanxi, bathing her snow-white and graceful body in a soft golden glow.

As she bent down to pick up her robe scattered on the floor, her slender, supple waist and rounded, pert hips were perfectly outlined; as she raised her arm, the curve of her chest lifted, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful softness in the morning light.

Wu Tian watched quietly, his gaze focused and gentle, appreciating the beautiful woman's captivating posture as she rose in the morning.

Lu Nanxi could feel his gaze fixed on her, and her cheeks grew redder and redder, even her neck and the base of her ears were tinged with a faint blush.

She hurriedly put on her plain white inner garment, draped a silver-embroidered outer robe over her shoulders, and sat down at the dressing table to quickly tie her hair up.

She saw in the bronze mirror that Wu Tian was still staring intently at her, and couldn't help but turn around and glare at him: "Don't look!"

Wu Tian's smile deepened: "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

This woman is so passionate when she's in love, but now she's like a young girl experiencing love for the first time, with more innocence and shyness, which makes her even more alluring.

Lu Nanxi blushed even more after being choked by his words, so she simply ignored him and focused on fixing her makeup.

She moved quickly, and in no time she had styled her long black hair into a dignified headdress hairstyle, secured it with the white jade hairpin, and then simply drew her eyebrows and applied lipstick.

After everything was tidied up, she carefully examined herself in the bronze mirror. Only after confirming that her appearance was appropriate did she stand up and walk to the bedside.

She leaned down, placing her hands on either side of Wu Tian's chest, her cascading black hair falling down and tickling his face.

"I'll go out and take a look first, I'll be right back."

"wait for me."

"Okay," Wu Tian replied with a smile.

Lu Nanxi straightened up, took a deep breath, and regained her cool and dignified demeanor as the head of the Lu family. As she walked to the door, she turned back to look at Wu Tian.

Wu Tian waved to her.

Lu Nanxi smiled, her smile as radiant as a flower in full bloom, then turned and pushed open the door to leave.

Outside the courtyard gate, the Lu family's senior members had been waiting all night.

When the sound of the jade gate opening rang out, everyone's spirits lifted, and they all turned to look at the entrance.

Lu Nanxi stepped out gracefully, her plain white dress embroidered with silver threads shimmering in the morning light. A corner of her light blue outer garment fluttered in the breeze behind her, making her appear elegant and otherworldly.

"What brings you all to Qingyi Courtyard?"

Her voice regained its usual calmness and dignity, but only those who knew her very well could vaguely hear an unusual hoarseness deep in her voice, and there was an undisguised spring-like feeling between her brows and eyes.

Lu Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward, “Reporting to the patriarch! Last night, the Cao family’s residence was attacked by an unknown expert. Hundreds of Cao family cultivators were killed, and Cao Tiangang, the Cao family’s patriarch… has also been executed! The Cao family is destroyed!” As she finished speaking, her tone became somewhat agitated, and she stared intently at the patriarch, wanting to see how he would react.

Lu Nanxi listened quietly, nodding slightly, her tone calm and even, as if it were all within her expectations: "I understand."

The moment those three words were uttered, everyone outside the courtyard gate was stunned.

understood?
Just these three words?
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their questions and excitement trapped in their throats by those three words. Some cautiously looked up at the patriarch's expression, only to find a calm, unwavering face.

By this point, how could these seasoned old foxes not have guessed what was going on? The mysterious barrier from last night, the patriarch's current calm reaction…

An old man from the Lu family felt a sudden jolt in his heart, remembering someone, and almost subconsciously asked, "Patriarch, has the Grand Commander returned?"

Lu Nanxi glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "It was indeed the Grand Commander who made the move last night, and none of you are allowed to spread this around."

As soon as Lu Nanxi said this, the area outside the courtyard gate suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's faces showed shock and ecstasy. The title of Grand Commander had not been mentioned in the Lu family for a long time. The great figure who had swept across all directions and was extremely powerful had only appeared for a short time, and even the younger generation was gradually forgetting him.

But now, the patriarch himself has admitted that it was the Grand Commander who annihilated the entire Cao family and killed the True Immortal Cao Tiangang last night.

You should know that the Cao family patriarch is now a true immortal!
Lu Qinghe, a prodigy who only began to rise to prominence after Lu Ding's departure, didn't have a deep understanding of the situation yet, but the old members of the Lu family were all excited and flushed.

Although they had suspected it before, they couldn't help but be overjoyed when the news was confirmed.

"He truly is the Grand Commander!"

"The Grand Commander is back! The Lu family is saved!"

Some people couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot. Over the years, the Lu family had been through many ups and downs, and they had fantasized countless times about the Grand Commander's return. They never expected that this day would actually come.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was instantly boiling. The elders whispered among themselves, discussing the matter, their faces filled with relief and ecstasy as if they had survived a disaster.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Lu Nanxi maintained the composure of a family head, but she couldn't suppress the faint smile on her lips.

She raised her hand, and the murmurs in the courtyard gradually subsided.

"Now that the Cao family has been destroyed, you are free to dispose of their properties, mines, and shops. You should first come up with a plan for the specific distribution, and then submit it to me for a decision."

"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices loud and excited, as if they were about to release all the pent-up frustration that had been building up in their chests for years.

Lu Nanxi then arranged the aftermath in a clear and orderly manner, assigning tasks such as incorporating the remnants of the Cao family and taking over the mines and spiritual fields.

……

At that moment, inside Qingyi Courtyard, Wu Tian suddenly had a thought.

He raised his hand and saw a sword light pierce through the air from outside the window, moving at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it passed through the window frame and landed in his palm.

The sword light spun in his palm, transforming into a spellbook formed from sword energy. It was entirely silver-white, as thin as a cicada's wing, and exuded a sharp yet cold aura. It was the transformation of Bai Qian's Taibai Dividing Light Sword Energy.

The spellbook unfolded, and Bai Qian's voice came from within.

"Your senior sister, Chi Limu, has come to the Undying Palace specifically to inquire about you. If you wish to see her, return soon; if not, I will send her away. It's up to you to decide."

After listening to the message in the spellbook, Wu Tian remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Red Wood... Senior Sister..."

"Well, it's time to see her..."

He had a deep affection for Chi Limu, and a long time ago he had harbored feelings for this senior sister, wanting to win her over and make her his woman.

But things change, and too many things have happened.

Everything has changed since then...

After thinking for a moment, he quietly sent a telepathic message to Lu Nanxi.

"Nanxi, I have some urgent business to attend to and must leave for a few days. I will come to see you again in a while."

At this moment, Lu Nanxi was discussing with the family's senior members, but after hearing this voice transmission, her body stiffened almost imperceptibly, and she stopped halfway through her sentence.

She didn't have time to say anything more to the others, and simply said, "You all discuss and handle these matters first. If anything goes wrong, report back to me. You may all leave now!"

After saying that, she ignored the surprised looks from everyone and quickly turned around and went back into the house.

However, when she opened the door, the room was already empty, and there was no sign of the man.

Only a golden light shot into the sky from the Lu family ancestral home and sped southward, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

……

Southern Xinjiang, the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Palace of Immortality.

A golden light descended from the sky and landed on the stone steps in front of the Immortal Palace.

As the golden light faded, Wu Tian's tall and slender figure was revealed. He wore a yellow robe, a jade rope around his waist, and his golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight as he strode into the palace.

At this moment, Bai Qian was sitting opposite Chi Li Mu, brewing tea and discussing philosophy.

Today, Chi Limu wore a plain white dress with a silver sash tied around her waist, outlining her beautiful and captivating figure.

Her features were exquisite, her skin radiant, and she exuded a pure and otherworldly aura, yet there was also a subtle Daoist charm of the Southern Ming Fire flowing around her.

As Wu Tian stepped into the palace, Chi Limu raised his head upon hearing the sound, his gaze falling on the man in the yellow robe and with golden hair.

Her heart skipped a beat the moment she saw him, and the Azure Dawn Immortal Sword beside her emitted a clear, melodious hum, as if it were wailing.

Chi Limu narrowed his eyes slightly. This person had a majestic aura, as deep as an abyss, and his cultivation was simply unfathomable.

She even sensed a trace of the patriarch's Daoist aura in this person; none of the masters in the sect had ever given her such a terrifying feeling.

When Bai Qian saw Wu Tian return, her fluffy white tail swayed almost imperceptibly behind her, but she still maintained a cold and aloof demeanor as she stood up. "Cave Master, you've come at the right time. I happen to have a fellow Daoist visiting, and I was just about to introduce you to him."

As she spoke, she introduced Chi Limu: "This is the master of the Golden Light Cave. He is a great master who has settled in my Ten Thousand Mountains and is also the new master I found for Yao Chen."

"The master of Golden Light Cave is highly skilled and possesses unfathomable supernatural powers. He happened to be visiting friends these past few days and has only just returned today."

Upon hearing this, Chi Limu stood up from the stone bench, the hem of her plain white dress trailing lightly across the ground. She bowed deeply to Wu Tian, ​​her posture respectful yet courteous. "So it is the Cave Master of Jinguang Cave in person. I am Chi Limu, a disciple of Taiqing Temple. Greetings, Cave Master."

The moment Wu Tian saw the Crimson Wood, he was completely stunned. His mind was in turmoil, and all his clones trembled.

Especially the Tathagata of the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Ling, who suddenly opened his eyes, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, and the power of time surged violently. (End of this chapter)
