Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

"Fellow Daoist, where do you want to go?" Tuoba Changsheng asked with a forced smile, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"You...who are you? Hmm, perfect cultivation, senior, spare my life, I deserve to die, I'll leave now." Coming back to his senses, he sized up Tuoba Changsheng.

Despite his refined appearance and amiable demeanor, the black-robed guest was immediately filled with terror upon sensing the other party's terrifying cultivation level.

A Qi Refining Realm cultivator at its peak—that's a huge figure in Tongzhou. It would be far too easy to crush him.

"Senior, I was ordered by the young master of the Zheng family to stay here. I mean no harm. Could you please let me go?" Seeing that the visitor was hostile, he showed no intention of leaving.

The black-robed guest quickly brought up the Zheng family, hoping to make Tuoba Changsheng hesitate to act rashly.

After all, as one of the four major families, the Zheng family of Tongzhou still has a great reputation.

Even though Tuoba Changsheng was powerful, he still had to consider the consequences after taking action.

"I know your background perfectly well, but you know nothing about mine. You deserve to die today..." With a wave of his hand, he crushed the black-robed guest into dust.

Tuoba Changsheng nimbly went to meet him.

A moment later, Tuoba Youyou saw her elderly father arrive and immediately beamed with joy, pulling Jiang Ming over to greet him.

"Father, this is Junior Brother Jiang. He has helped me a lot."

"I know everything. Let's go. There's a ninth-level cultivator around here who wanted to harm him. I took care of him while I was at it." He rubbed his daughter's round, smooth face.

Tuoba Changsheng smiled indulgently, then looked at Jiang Ming with kind eyes, "Is the Golden Thunder Bamboo ready? This thing is not easy to cultivate."

"Uncle, everything is ready. Now everything is in place except for the final push." ​​He replied respectfully.

Jiang Ming dared not show any disrespect to the refined and scholarly cultivator before him.

Judging from his aura, this person's strength is no less than that of Elder Qin, and he must also be a perfect cultivator.

Moreover, even disregarding the issue of strength, the fact that the other party is Tuoba Youyou's biological father deserves his respect.

"Bring out the Golden Thunder Bamboo for me to see." Tuoba Changsheng nodded and softly chanted an incantation after tossing a magic array on the ground.

The next second, the three of them arrived at the Tuoba family.

Contrary to Jiang Ming's imagination of a magnificent place, this was simply an ordinary little mountain village with very few people.

Jiang Ming only saw a dozen or so clansmen coming and going.

However, this method of travel was indeed very fast, and the fact that they arrived in the blink of an eye broadened Jiang Ming's horizons.

"The Golden Thunder Bamboo is of good quality; it was irrigated with the finest spiritual liquid, and seventy-two sections are more than enough."

As Youyou's good friend, I shouldn't be stingy with the magic, but that spell is in the ancestral land of the Tuoba family.

"Without the help of the earth-based cultivation technique on the city wall, you can't get in..." Tuoba Changsheng calmly spoke without hiding his predicament, wanting to see Jiang Ming's reaction.

"Father, I'll go get it. My great-grandfather loves me and won't refuse." Tuoba Changsheng's lips twitched, and he glared at the girl with a hint of disappointment.

He tapped the girl's head impatiently. "So what if your great-grandfather agreed? He really can't produce that spell."

Would I lie to you? If I could produce it, I would do it myself.

"Mother, Father hit me." Rubbing her head, Tuoba Youyou saw the beautiful woman not far away and felt more confident.

After pondering for a while, he stubbornly said, "I'll learn the Primordial Sword Formation and then teach it to Junior Brother Jiang, won't that be enough?"

"Before learning the Primordial Sword Formation, you must make the Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword recognize you as its master. Once you learn it, the Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword will become yours."

Besides, only men in their prime can use this spell; what are you doing getting involved?

Seeing that Tuoba Youyou's elbow kept siding with outsiders.

Tuoba Changsheng couldn't hold back any longer. He rubbed his temples, sensing a bit of trouble.

"Uncle, since this matter is so difficult, let's just forget about it. Even without the Primordial Sword Formation, I can still remain undefeated among those of the same level."

After a long silence, seeing that Tuoba Changsheng was caught in a dilemma, Jiang Ming took the initiative to comfort him.

Shaking her head, the beautiful woman was very kind. She pulled Tuoba Youyou into her arms and asked earnestly, "Then what about your empty certificate?"

"We need to build the city walls anyway, so what's wrong with passing on the Primordial Sword Formation to you along the way? Give him the Longevity Formation."

"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you two. Kid, you have a lot of luck, but your physical constitution is very poor."

However, the technique of Chengtoutu, "The Secret of Understanding the Past and Present," is extremely obscure. If you want to learn it, you can only rely on special methods.

Youyou is a simple-minded child and probably doesn't understand what the help she's been trying to provide involves.

Explain things clearly to her. If Youyou doesn't mind and is willing to pay the price to teach you the technique, I will take you to the ancestral land to practice the Primordial Sword Formation..."

With a sigh, Tuoba Changsheng turned and left with his hands behind his back.

The beautiful woman patted Tuoba Youyou's shoulder and whispered softly, "Go to your room and talk to him."

You're an adult now, you should make your own decisions about some things...

Nodding blankly, Tuoba Youyou was puzzled. "Is there something else for me? Junior Brother Jiang is exceptionally talented, why not just pass on the cultivation technique to him?"

Even the most foolish person can learn the "Secrets of Understanding the Past and Present"!

Without answering, the beautiful woman blushed and left, walking into the shadows to meet up with Tuoba Changsheng, where she spoke softly.

"So, is this person trustworthy?"

"According to the calculations, there shouldn't be any problems, but this kid is no pushover."

His Golden Thunder Bamboo was clearly planted by a woman, otherwise it wouldn't have been tainted with any yin energy, even though I helped remove it.

But I still felt a little sad. How could my daughter be someone's concubine...?

With a sigh, Tuoba Changsheng felt somewhat depressed.

With his extraordinary abilities, aside from Jiang Ming's cheat system which he didn't know, he could know everything else clearly if he wanted to.

But the more he learned, the more helpless he felt. Why was someone with such strong luck so lacking in natural talent and comprehension?

"Not all men are like this, flirting with other women. Youyou likes him, and he treats Youyou very well. He's someone you can entrust your life to."

"That's enough. When you look closely at people, no one is perfect. Even you, didn't you secretly take a concubine back then?" He cast a somewhat resentful glance.

Tuoba Changsheng was speechless for a moment, and after a long silence, he weakly retorted, "How can that be the same? I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, I've broken up with her now..."

"How is it different? Are you going to talk back again?" The beautiful woman pinched Tuoba Changsheng's ear and quietly left, not daring to linger there.

She didn't want to hear any strange noises.

inside the room.

Tuoba Youyou looked puzzled as she handed the earth-based cultivation technique to Jiang Ming, her eyes full of innocence. "Junior Brother Jiang, what did my mother mean?"

Are you a stupid person?

"Ahem, it's a long story." Jiang Ming sat down somewhat awkwardly, unsure of where to begin.

He couldn't find a suitable way to approach this clueless girl, and after a long silence, he tentatively tried to explain.

"Actually, I have very poor aptitude and comprehension. The reason I mastered several imagery techniques so quickly is because I met a good person."

They taught me the techniques in a special way.

"Hmm, how special can it be?" Tuoba Youyou blinked, looking curious. "Can I learn it too?"

Her face flushed, she lowered her head listlessly.

Jiang Ming didn't answer directly, but changed the subject, "Let's not talk about that for now. What does Senior Sister Tuoba think of me?"

"You are a good person." After careful consideration, Tuoba Youyou gave her a soft reply.

"What's so good about it?" Jiang Ming asked curiously, pressing for details, which left Tuoba Youyou somewhat stunned.

She hadn't really thought about this issue in detail.

When they first met, she thought Jiang Ming was very kind, willing to share the Eight Treasures Pill to help others. Later, she realized that it was called winning people's hearts.

Later, guided by the divination, she took the initiative to get to know Jiang Ming and successfully overcame a tribulation. That day, she stayed in the room with Cheng Ya to take care of this junior brother. She felt that this junior brother was both lewd and cunning.

In order to be alone with Cheng Ya, he didn't hesitate to kick her out and make her squat on the doorstep.

Later, upon returning to the outer sect, Jiang Ming made his first outrageous move.

He pinched her plump buttocks, and she felt both ashamed and angry. At that moment, she felt that Jiang Ming had gone a bit too far.

Later, as they became more familiar with each other, Jiang Ming gave her a magic refining secret realm talisman, suitable treasures, and Xuanling ointment to help her improve her cultivation...

How can I describe all of this?

Shaking her head with a slight headache, Tuoba Youyou felt a little ashamed. "I don't know, how should I describe it? Junior Brother Jiang is very good to me."

Besides my parents, they are the best to me...

"Senior sister, do you know what a Daoist partner is? Would you like to be my Daoist partner?" Jiang Ming rubbed his temples, unsure how to explain to Tuoba Youyou, whose emotional wisdom was comparable to that of an adult blockhead.

After a moment's thought, I decided to take the initiative and go straight for the ball.

"Huh?" Scratching her head in a bit of a panic, Tuoba Youyou blushed and asked softly, "Like my father and mother? You want to have a baby with me?"

"No, that won't work. My dad told me I'm too old to do these things. Can we wait a little longer?"

Having roughly figured out the answer, Jiang Ming instantly became exceptionally calm, slowly stepped forward and picked up Tuoba Youyou, "Next, I need Senior Sister to help me cultivate."

If you don't mind, just nod...

Her face flushed, and she lowered her head.

Tuoba Youyou nodded slightly, looking at Jiang Ming with great curiosity: What help can I, an earth element cultivator, possibly offer?

As she pondered to herself, Tuoba Youyou panicked when she saw Jiang Ming touching her like he was peeling fruit. She tried to struggle but couldn't move.

……

half an hour.

Struggling in Jiang Ming's arms, Tuoba Youyou raised her head, looking somewhat mournful, "So this is what a Daoist partner is like? It's a little uncomfortable."

Calmly embracing the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Jiang Ming patiently comforted her, "It's normal to feel uncomfortable now, it will get better later..."

Scratching her head weakly, Tuoba Youyou looked at Jiang Ming's astonished gaze with a slightly awkward and shy expression.

"Try again. If you still feel uncomfortable, I won't be your Daoist partner anymore..."

……

"I still feel so uncomfortable (｡•́︿•̀｡)" Tuoba Youyou frowned, her face flushed.

I have a strange feeling about the intimate gesture just now.

"Don't overthink it. If you really can't figure it out, just consider me a good friend." Looking at the girl's confused gaze, Jiang Ming felt a little guilty.

"No way, wouldn't it be pointless for me to suffer if we were just good friends?" With a sudden flash of inspiration, Tuoba Youyou quickly refused.

She gently kissed Jiang Ming's ear, then buried her head and fell asleep with a smile.

Holding the girl's soft, boneless body, Jiang Ming felt completely satisfied and silently began to circulate his internal energy.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

Seeing Jiang Ming's confused look,

A few days later.

Suddenly, I opened my eyes!

Jiang Ming's understanding of the soil on the city wall instantly improved to a higher level, and he also successfully entered the basics of the cultivation technique. He then tried to make some calculations.

His face immediately lit up with joy, and he became even more aware of the profound mystery of this attainment.

Through divination, he can see his future. Although he can't see it clearly, he can vaguely sense how the gears of fate are turning.

According to Tuoba Youyou, this is only the first stage; to master the imagery, at least three stages are required.

"Finally, it's all over. During this period, apart from going out for some fresh air, I've spent all my time on this."

But to be honest, it was quite fun. You should come and keep me company more often in the future…”

She whispered a few words in Jiang Ming's ear.

Tuoba Youyou hurriedly put on her clothes and took Jiang Ming out to pay respects to her parents.

Tuoba Changsheng stared at Jiang Ming with a strange look in his eyes, his face extremely stiff.

It's like having flowers you've cultivated for half your life picked clean by someone else.

He seemed somewhat absent-minded when his daughter greeted him.

Fortunately, knowing the principle that daughters cannot stay at home forever once they grow up, he didn't say much. He just felt a little depressed looking at Jiang Ming's first stage of "Mastering the Past and Understanding the Present".

Her aptitude and understanding are terrible. In three months, my daughter has suffered so much to achieve this little bit.

With a sigh, Tuoba Changsheng waved his hand, his eyes gradually becoming serious. "After entering the ancestral land, you will stay by my side and do not move around recklessly."

The ancestral land has many unseen restrictions; triggering them will lead to trouble.

Listening to Tuoba Changsheng's explanation, Jiang Ming nodded, then took Tuoba Youyou's hand and they entered the halo together.

When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was a desolate empty space.

The space here is very vast; looking around, you can't even find the boundary. Roughly estimating, its area is probably no less than that of Tongzhou City.

The ancestral land of the Tuoba family is so vast!

After a moment of reflection, Jiang Ming withdrew his gaze and silently followed behind Tuoba Changsheng.

Soon, they arrived at an empty altar.

With a gentle wave of the hand, the surrounding lights are turned on.

Tuoba Changsheng cut open his palm, releasing bright red blood that dripped freely onto the center of the arena. Moments later, a golden light flashed by.

On the altar, a spirit floating in mid-air scrutinized Jiang Ming, glancing curiously at the storage bag as if it had discovered something.

"What a pity. If someone hadn't blocked the earthen fruit position on the city wall, you would have already achieved Foundation Establishment."

"Tell me, what brings you here?" Without uttering a sound, the old man smiled calmly, circled around Tuoba Changsheng for a moment, observed him, and then asked directly about his purpose.
