Yunmeng Immortal Clan

The night was as dark as ink. Song Daoxuan, Song Honghu, and Jiang Ruyi were all drunk and forgot to use magic to dispel their intoxication. They lay on the stone table and talked about the funny things that happened when Song Daoxuan was a child.

Inside the cave, the small oil lamps flickered and shone, illuminating the figures of the three people.

In the latter half of the night, the three figures slowly awoke, and Song Daoxuan prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he left some of the pills he had refined for Song Honghu and Jiang Ruyi.

"We don't want these, you can take them back!" Song Honghu pushed the bottles of pills away, indicating his refusal.

"I don't need these now, and I'll soon be a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Tenth Level of Qi Refining, so I won't need these first-tier pills anymore..."

At Song Daoxuan's insistence, Song Honghu didn't waste any words and directly put all the pills his son had refined into his storage bag.

"By the way, you're not young anymore. I've heard that there's a woman in the Mu family who's seven or eight years younger than you. If you go into seclusion, your father and I might try to set you two up!"

"Cultivation is important, but marriage is a matter of great importance concerning the continuation of the immortal race, and must be taken seriously..."

"I understand! We'll talk about it later." Song Daoxuan stood up, preparing to leave.

Jiang Ruyi stuffed a bundle into Song Daoxuan's arms.

"These are some new clothes that your mother sewed for you. Take them home and wear them..."

Song Daoxuan took the clothes down the mountain, his eyes involuntarily welling up with tears.

"It is said that the path to immortality requires ruthlessness, but in this cultivation family full of human warmth, who can truly sever all emotions and desires?"

Back in the cultivation cave, a ten-foot-tall demonic wolf quickly came running over.

"I need to go into seclusion now. You will be in charge of looking after my cave. I have quite a few useless pills on hand, so I'll give them to you as compensation. You were nameless before, but since you've followed me, Song Daoxuan, and are also the Azure Moon Wolf, I'll call you Xuan Yue from now on, how about that?"

Waste pills are the product of a mistake made by an alchemist in the final step of alchemy, when the pill's prototype has already been formed. Waste pills cannot be consumed because they contain an astonishing amount of poison, and even cultivators dare not easily come into contact with them.

The Azure Moon Demon Wolf nodded in agreement, but just as Song Daoxuan gave it the discarded pill, the Azure Moon Demon Wolf let out a long howl, clearly extremely excited.

Although discarded pills are highly poisonous to cultivators, they are extremely precious and nourishing to demons.

After giving these instructions, Song Daoxuan turned a deaf ear to everything else and went into seclusion to cultivate diligently once again.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Reaching the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining only requires a long period of time to persevere. Any elixir is of no use to cultivators.

Meanwhile, Du Ruisong, who was sent by the Zhuxi Sect, had already returned to the sect.

Among the five major cultivation sects of the Great Li Dynasty, the Zhuxi Sect ranks third in overall strength, making it a fairly average sect.

The Zhuxi Sect's Zhuxi Sword Technique is a renowned sword technique throughout the entire Dali Kingdom.

In terms of the inheritance of various arts of cultivation, the Zhuxi Sect is more skilled in weapon crafting. The Qingling Bamboo cultivated by the Zhuxi Sect is one of the main materials for crafting the mid-grade magic weapon, the Qingzhu Sword.

The Green Bamboo Sword is widely known in the cultivation world of Dali because it is cheap to forge and inexpensive.

The rumor that "two of the three great artifacts were made by Zhuxi" has been widely circulated in the cultivation world of Dali.

Du Ruisong originally wanted to bring Song Linyu, the grandson of Song Daoxuan's second uncle, to see his kinsman, Master Du.

However, Du Zhenren's Daoist partner informed him that Du Zhenren had entered a period of seclusion and would not leave his residence until he reached the middle stage of cultivation.

"This kid is truly out of luck!" He had known for a long time that his master had been accumulating strength for a long time. Just when he was away, his master had accumulated strength to the peak of the early stage of Core Formation, only one step away from the so-called middle stage of Core Formation, and then immediately went into seclusion.

"It takes at least ten years for a Core Formation cultivator to break through, how can this child possibly wait..." Thinking of this, Du Ruisong stomped his feet anxiously, his face full of worry.

Just then, an extremely powerful aura descended upon the place and landed in front of Du Ruisong.

This is a woman, cold and noble, with her long black hair styled into flowing cloud-like tresses with a bamboo hairpin and cascading down her back. Her eyes are as cold as ice, and her nose is as delicate as jade. She has no makeup, and her skin is as smooth as ice and as beautiful as jade. She is a fairy-like beauty, so that no one who sees her can feel any sense of disrespect.

This person is clearly one of the three Core Formation cultivators under the tutelage of Patriarch Zhuxi, Liu Hanjun.

Liu Hanjun is an array cultivator, and the only third-tier array master in the entire Zhuxi Sect. Not to mention the entire Zhuxi Sect, there are only a handful of people in the entire Dali Dynasty whose array skills can match Liu Hanjun's.

"Du Ruisong greets his martial uncle..." Du Ruisong quickly pulled Song Linyu to bow in front of Liu Hanjun.

"Get up and tell me everything!" Liu Hanjun said in an ethereal voice.

Facing a Core Formation cultivator, Du Ruisong clearly dared not hide anything and told Liu Hanjun everything in detail.

Upon hearing this, a look of sudden realization appeared on Liu Hanjun's flawless, cold face: "I see! I didn't expect the Song family to produce such a spiritual root."

Liu Hanjun is the youngest Core Formation cultivator in the Zhuxi Sect, and he is only a little over a hundred years old this year.

"The descendants of Song Chuanyuan of the Song family on Qinglian Island..."

She fell into deep thought, as if she had entered a secret realm and was affected by inner demons. At this moment, Song Chuanyuan appeared and fed her a pill that could dispel inner demons, and then she immediately returned to normal.

"I was only in the late Foundation Establishment stage at the time. Although it was only a matter of time before I overcame my inner demons with my abilities, I was able to escape quickly thanks to his pills. Afterwards, I wanted to give him some compensation, but I didn't expect him to refuse, saying it was just a trivial matter!"

"I never imagined that after so many years, this person would have passed away. It's truly a great pity!"

Thinking of this, Liu Hanjun parted her lips slightly and said, "This child is also destined for me, Du Ruisong. I wish to take him under my wing and carefully cultivate him. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Du Ruisong dared not refuse, and simply said, "Lin Yu, this is a great opportunity for you, why don't you quickly pay your respects to the master?"

Song Linyu then respectfully approached the woman and bowed.

"Good! I intend to take this boy as my personal disciple. Du Ruisong, find me a good student, and I will reward you handsomely."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hanjun transformed into a wisp of immortal mist, swept Song Linyu away, and immediately disappeared from the spot.

After Song Linyu was taken away by Liu Hanjun, Du Ruisong was somewhat dazed and lost in thought: "Isn't Master Liu the one who dislikes taking on disciples the most? What's gotten into him today? Besides, he's taken on a true disciple right away. I'll have to call this kid my junior brother from now on."

"That's strange. In the past, there have been a few people with earth spirit roots in the sect, but she never even glanced at them..."
