The Long Journey to Immortality

Having satisfied her thirst for knowledge and appetite, Feng Hong and Han Lu got along better and better, and Feng Hong felt that her sister was even better than the stories her parents had told her.

[Author's Note] I accidentally set the wrong automatic update time yesterday, sorry.

Chapter 706 Siblings, Private Tutor

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content and cleaning the house, just as Feng Hong was thinking of continuing to pester his sister to tell him more about people and things that interested him, Feng You and several elders of the Illusionary Phoenix Clan discussed "trivial matters within the clan" and the "Harmony Assembly" with another clan leader of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and returned home with some worries.

Often, what troubles Feng You, who is at the Nascent Soul stage, is not major issues, but rather trivial matters concerning the clan.

As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes.

Fengyou inherited the position of clan leader based on "blood relations," so he was naturally not an expert in handling family affairs.

Especially those minor conflicts that occur among the members of the Sanfeng tribe.

The pile of things together naturally gave him an even bigger headache.

It must be said that home is indeed the best safe haven.

As soon as she stepped into the house and saw her two children laughing and chatting inside, Fengyou's mood immediately improved.

Upon seeing Fengyou return home, both Hanlu and Fenghong toned down their tempers somewhat and behaved much more obediently.

Feng Hong, in particular, immediately abandoned her sister and went up to greet her attentively, almost to the point of rubbing Feng You's shoulders with her phoenix claws.

However, everything should be done in moderation.

Feng Hong's overly attentive behavior immediately reminded Feng You of the few lecturing words he hadn't uttered that afternoon.

Seeing the change in her father's expression, Feng Hong knew in her heart that something was wrong.

Just as she was hesitating whether to take the initiative to admit her mistake and try to make a good impression on her sister, Feng You spoke up and brought up the bad deeds that Feng Hong had committed in the past six months.

Most of these misdeeds were minor and trivial matters, things that Feng Hong and Chu Feng did unintentionally or intentionally when they were playing together.

They stole flowers, herbs, and vegetables from the field.

Playing with fire, they burned half an acre of paulownia trees. It wasn't until a transformed ice phoenix discovered the fire in the forest and used its supernatural powers to extinguish it.

While engaging in a duel with their companions, a young phoenix was injured but did not receive immediate medical treatment.

……

Of course, Feng Hong also made a minor mistake that afternoon, such as dozing off and daydreaming during his cultivation.

For Feng You, who was particularly concerned about Feng Hong's personal cultivation, this matter was even more important than the many "mistakes that children might make" that had occurred before.

Faced with his father's seemingly reciting a list of his mistakes in the Sanfeng Forest over the past six months, Feng Hong meekly nodded and lowered his head to admit his wrongdoings, without any intention of making any excuses.

Feng Rubing and Feng You, living in the wilderness, had values ​​very similar to those of human cultivators.

There was absolutely no mistake in Feng Hong's education.

The reason why Feng Hong makes so many small mistakes is simply because she is playful and has poor self-control, not because her sense of right and wrong is wrong.

Han Lu listened with a smile, recalling the scene when her mother scolded her during their seclusion.

Thinking of her mother who had been gone for so long, Han Lu felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Feng You, who was educating Feng Hong, suddenly noticed that Han Lu was crying. He was very surprised and choked up halfway through his sentence.

Feng Hong also misunderstood the reason why Han Lu shed tears.

"Could it be because I did too many wrong things and was too terrible that my sister cried?"

He quickly apologized to Han Lu, saying, "Sister, I was wrong. I will never make this mistake again. I will never make Father angry again, and I will never make you unhappy again. Don't cry, it's all my fault."

Feng Hong's sudden words left Han Lu somewhat bewildered.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Han Lu asked in surprise, "What's wrong? I just remembered my deceased mother and that's why I'm crying."

“Feng Hong, you’ve only made some small mistakes that children make. Why would your sister be angry with you or shed tears over these things?”

Now it was Feng Hong's turn to be stunned. "Mother?"

It took Feng Hong a while to recall that her sister and she were not born to the same mother.

However, this little misunderstanding did save Feng Hong from a few lectures.

Knowing that her son was sensible and had already realized his mistake, Fengyou didn't waste her breath saying anything more that was actually meaningless.

Asking questions is not the most important thing; the most important thing is to provide solutions.

Feng You coughed twice, drawing his son's attention back to him, and said sternly, "Have you realized your mistake?"

Feng Hong then performed a dramatic "Young Phoenix Pecking at Rice" act, saying, "Father, I know I was wrong."

“Alright, I can see that too. You find the teachings of the clan teachers boring and tedious, which is why you're daydreaming during your cultivation,” Feng You said, remembering how earnest Feng Hong was when she followed him in his cultivation. “Coincidentally, your sister will be staying in the Three Phoenix Forest for half a year to a year. During that time, let her tutor you in your cultivation studies. What do you think?”

"Can you study hard?" Feng You felt that this arrangement would definitely achieve the results he hoped for, and bring out the exemplary power of Han Lu, who was comparable to "the neighbor's child".

The thought of no longer having to attend those tedious classes at the nursery and being able to cultivate at home with her sister filled Feng Hong with joy. She said, "Father, I will definitely study diligently with my sister."

Feng You looked at Han Lu, and before he could speak, Han Lu declared, "Father, I will definitely teach my younger brother well."

Han Lu's attitude was exactly what Feng You expected.

Full of anticipation, Feng You seized the opportunity and, after having Feng Hong give a brief report on his cultivation progress, let his two children take care of things.

Han Lu has done many things like being a teacher in Zhengyi School.

Although she had never encountered a "true spiritual student" like Feng Hong before, she was naturally confident that she could teach Feng Hong well.

The reasons are not complicated. First, she felt good about herself. Second, she believed that Feng Hong, the true spirit born from the two Nascent Soul Realm experts Feng Rubing and Feng You, must be exceptionally talented, only lacking a suitable guide.

Let's just talk about the results.

Han Lu dared not say that Feng Hong's cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds in a year or two, but she was determined to make her younger brother develop an interest in cultivation at his playful age, advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, and be able to go to Phoenix Perch Forest to enter the holy land and receive the "blessing" of the ancestors.

Han Lu also wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could "review the old and learn the new" by teaching her younger brother to cultivate the "True Phoenix Manual" and achieve a new breakthrough in the Li Feng chapter.

Entering the training room located in the basement of the new residence, Han Lu pondered for a moment before decisively transforming into the form of a phoenix. She then used phoenix language to accurately convey and explain the meaning of the "True Phoenix Treasure Book" to Feng Hong.

Feng Hong had already memorized the True Phoenix Manual perfectly and had also received guidance from masters like Feng You and Feng Rubing.

However, repackaging old wine into new products did give him some insights he hadn't had before.

After a quarter of an hour of class, Han Lu practiced her martial arts with Feng Hong.

With her sister by her side, Feng Hong, who usually couldn't concentrate, entered a meditative state in just a moment.

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

Feng Hong, who had just awakened from his meditative state, opened his eyes and looked at Han Lu, who was still in a meditative state.

Recalling the time she spent with her sister since yesterday afternoon, Feng Hong felt that her sister possessed endless magic and charm.

Chapter 707 The Destiny of Venerable Pot Lamp: A Leisurely Life

Noticing that Feng Hong had woken up and was curiously looking her up and down, Han Lu slowly finished circulating her cultivation technique for the week and left her meditative state.

"How are you feeling?" Han Lu asked.

Feng Hong pondered for a moment, then spoke only of trivial matters.

After a night of cultivation, Feng Hong did not find a suitable "master" like Han Lu in the novel, who enlightened him and made rapid progress.

After practicing with Han Lu for a night, Feng Hong didn't feel that the effect was only slightly better than practicing alone on weekdays.

The biggest gain is perhaps simply that one feels more "peaceful" when entering a meditative state.

It allows for faster entry into a meditative state and enables one to maintain that state for a longer period of time.

Such progress is quite important for the young phoenix.

Just like the enlightenment and cultivation of human cultivators in childhood, the most important thing for children is to be able to calm down.

Feng Hong, still a child at heart, was unaware of such "grand principles," but he understood that under his sister's guidance, he had indeed undergone some positive changes compared to the past.

It's like taking a sleeping pill and wearing an eye mask and earplugs while sleeping, so you no longer have to suffer from insomnia or waking up in the middle of the night.

This will naturally bring the sleeper a good dream.

If Feng Hong's progress that night was a small step, then Han Lu's progress was not even a small step.

I've improved my skills a little, that's all.

Having already gotten used to advancing to the Golden Core realm, Han Lu didn't take this matter too seriously.

With other things on her mind, Han Lu gave Feng Hong a few more instructions and asked about his upcoming schedule before letting the fledgling phoenix run wild outside.

Playing is a child's nature. Feng You, a fairly strict father, did not object to Feng Hong, the "crown prince," making friends and playing with other phoenix chicks. Han Lu, as the older sister, naturally would not be the unreasonable villain.

Upon hearing her sister's next order to go out and play, Feng Hong shouted "Long live sister!" without hesitation. After giving Han Lu a hug, she happily flew out of the training room.

After Feng Hong left, Han Lu opened the Hun Tian Bag and released Venerable Pot Lamp, who had been imprisoned in the magic treasure for half a year.

As a former Nascent Soul Realm expert, Venerable Pot Lamp's vitality is much stronger than that of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators as imagined by ordinary cultivators in novels.

He was seriously injured and nearly killed, but he still didn't eat or drink and survived for half a year in a deep sleep inside the Hun Tian Bag.

After leaving the Hun Tian Bag, it took Venerable Hu Deng a while to realize where he was.

Looking around the training room, which had absolutely no "barbaric atmosphere," Venerable Pot Lamp asked, "Did you bring me to the barbaric world?"

“That’s right, what, you’ve never been here before?” Han Lu was slightly surprised.

Venerable Pot Lamp nodded. "I've never been here before. It's better than I expected."

“This is the settlement of the Illusion Phoenix, Ice Phoenix, and Fire Phoenix in the wilderness, so it’s naturally better than other places in the wilderness,” Han Lu asked. “Venerable Pot Lamp, do you accept my father’s judgment on you?”

"So what if you're not convinced?" Venerable Pot Lamp laughed. "The victor is king, the loser is villain. Do you think you can let me go if I say I'm not convinced?"

This nonchalant attitude left Han Lu speechless.

"Alright, since you've come to this conclusion, I won't waste any more words. We'll proceed according to my father's arrangements."

After saying that, Han Lu moved her fingers and released a burst of spiritual energy to bind Venerable Pot Lamp tightly, then carried him away.

Before long, Han Lu used the scattered paulownia wood to make a broom for Venerable Pot Lamp.

"Here you go," he said, adding two layers of protection to the broom to make it more durable, then releasing Venerable Pot Lamp from his restraints. "Do you like it?"

Venerable Pot Lamp took the broom and swung it a few times as if wielding a spirit sword.
