A Niang said to be careful of those fairies!

--------

A few more days passed, and Lin Xuan Changyuan's trip to the Xuannv Palace in the East Lingyu Territory ended successfully. He learned a little bit of murderous aura through fighting, and his sword intent seemed to be enlightened, and its killing power increased sharply.

Perhaps his physique, magic power, and soul are still limited to the Qi Refining level, but relying on the Heavenly Palace Sword Art to infuse sword intent and perform the strongest sword moves, he has already threatened the lives of cultivators in the first two levels of the Yongquan period.

Of course, this does not include the Yongquan stage cultivators who have broken through to the twelfth or thirteenth level. The methods of this type of cultivator are equally horrifying.

Lin Xuan returned to the Treasure Pavilion a few days later than the scheduled time. Dong Xue and Zhou Muer had used up all the pills, so the Treasure Pavilion allocated some pills for them to replenish, but the quality was a little worse.

Zhou Muer made only a little progress, but she was still a long way from the fourth level of Qi Refining, while Dong Xue's pool in the first level was overflowing and might burst at any time!

She is at the first level of Qi Refining, and the overflow of the pool is equivalent to a breakthrough to the second level. When she was still an oiran, her qualifications and resources were limited, but now she is considered to have accumulated a lot of experience.

But she believed that she would never stop there, because after having sex with the young master twice, her qualifications had been improved!

The higher the realm, the longer the life span. Dongxue was born in a place of romance and entertainment, and is different from the ladies from wealthy families. She is less reserved and more ferocious than a wolf or a tiger. Every day she serves the young master, the happier she is.

That night after returning to the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Xuan pulled Dong Xue to sit and discuss how to plow the land more easily. For this purpose, Elder Ding restrained his spiritual sense and Zhou Muer was forced to stay awake all night.

Lin Xuan made three rules: he could only have sex with Dong Xue five days a month. This didn't mean that he would find some free time to have sex for five consecutive days, which would be too crazy, but that he would have real sex for one night every few days.

Feeling refreshed after finishing the business, Lin Xuan visited Elder Ding the next morning and inquired about the wedding. He said that it was not necessary for others to send the invitation to his door, he could come uninvited.

After all, a wedding is one of the most joyous events in life. He has come from far away to be a guest, so you won’t chase him away, right?

Elder Ding told him that two days later, there would be a small town about 460 miles northwest of Baoqi Pavilion. Two families in the town would be holding a wedding. He could just go there directly when the time came, and the hosts would surely give him a courteous reception.

Although she was not sure what had happened, she sensed that Lin Xuan must have undergone an amazing transformation and his strength had increased significantly. Even if he was in the Yongquan Stage, she would not be able to kill him by force unless she reached a certain level.

As he grew older and his realm became higher, his experience and knowledge increased. Elder Ding understood that a genius of this level would not be allowed to leave the Xuannv Palace until he reached a certain level.

"You probably have nothing else to do, so go and do your own thing." Elder Ding waved goodbye to the guest and sat on the recliner like an old woman. In fact, she had indeed reached retirement age.

Lin Xuan took his leave. During the day, apart from cultivating his sentiments with Dong Xue, he practiced his magic power and practiced several spells, such as the Nine Revolutions Sacred Art, body refining spell, frost and rain spell, object control spell, sword control spell and the like. Because of the Nine Revolutions Sacred Art, his magic power was much stronger than the standard power of Qi refining.

Among the several spells, he was particularly concerned about the Frost Rain Spell. Once he developed a new rune technique for the Frost Rain Spell, he had a feeling that this spell might become a killer move, and once it was cast, he would surely gain the upper hand!

At the same time, Zhou Muer went out. He had no intention of practicing last night and had difficulty falling asleep, which made him feel not very energetic. His opportunity to learn from his master today would definitely be affected. Therefore, Zhou Muer's eyes were full of resentment.

It was all the fault of the couple! The devilish music that had filled her ears the whole night had upset her mind and made her have ridiculous fantasies of finding a partner. She had obviously fled Tang Country because of her in-laws!

Besides, after seeing better, how could she eat worse? Zhou Muer left the yard quickly, not wanting to see Lin Xuan. She became a formal disciple of an elder in the Treasure Pavilion and practiced refining. There were many subdivisions in refining. She inherited the field of refining small objects, such as brushes, earrings, hair accessories and other small objects.

In the next two days, the three of them practiced hard. Occasionally, Lin Xuan asked Dong Xue to cultivate his sentiments. Because the noise was quieter and more restrained than real swords and guns, it did not disturb Zhou Muer, who breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that the evil sounds that would fill her ears every day would seriously disturb her mentality and affect her cultivation!

On the wedding day, Lin Xuan asked Dongxue if she would go with him, and she shook her head to refuse.

"I have lost a lot of time, and I want to practice every minute to make up for it. Otherwise, my Qi Refining Period will soon turn into dust. Sir, you don't want the five thousand spirit stones to only keep their value for a few decades, right?" Dongxue pretended to joke.

"Okay, I see that you are almost at the second level of Qi training, so I won't disturb you anymore." Lin Xuan was silent for a while.

In this way, Lin Xuan once again went alone to Songyu Town, which was four hundred and sixty or seventy miles away.

There are patches of spiritual pine trees growing in Songyu Town, which are suspected to be of half-grade quality. They are rich in pine royal jelly, which is used to make pine royal jade resin, a top-grade raw material for the immortal way.

The residents of Songyu Town make a living by relying on two spiritual things: pine royal jelly and pine royal jade resin.

Chapter 22: Songyu Town; Return to Tang Kingdom

Pine royal jelly is taken from the king pine, a special juice. The king pine refers specifically to a spiritual tree that has completely entered the ranks of high-grade spiritual trees. Generally, there is a chance that a king pine tree will be born among dozens of spiritual pine trees.

Songyu Town is rich in pine royal jelly. Relying on the pine royal jelly, a large-scale business centered on the spiritual liquid has been developed. On the surface, the big families and wealthy households in the town control the production of 99% of the sap of the pine royal jelly trees.

All the wineries in the town use pine royal jelly to brew spiritual wine. The recipes of each wine are similar. This wine contains two or three wisps of spiritual energy that lasts for a long time and has a unique taste. It tastes bitter and slightly astringent, but after the bitterness wears off, it has a strong sweet aftertaste and is widely sold.

Songwangling wine has a picky taste, and the local people in Songyu Town have long been accustomed to this favorite.

After entering Songyu Town, Lin Xuan immediately went to a restaurant to exchange some Songwang Lingjiu to taste it. As its name suggests, it tasted strange and was very picky about people, so he didn't particularly like it.

He likes to drink sweet wine, and it is best if all the liquor is removed and only the sweet taste or the mellow and rich aroma is left.

The diners were coming and going in the main hall of the tavern, chatting and gossiping, and the whole town was already bustling with activity. By eavesdropping, Lin Xuan found out that the two large families in the town that were getting married today were the Gao family and the Zhong family.

It is said that the marriage between the two families was of an alliance nature, and the two protagonists were led by the elders of the family to become a pair.

The town was not big. After paying the bill at the restaurant, Lin Xuan immediately set out to find the place where they would get married. The diners secretly looked at him sideways, as a young man with outstanding temperament and extraordinary appearance was very rare in the town.

Today, both the Gao family and the Zhong family are holding wedding banquets. According to the procedure, the bride should be sent to her husband's house by the wedding party, so Lin Xuan chose to attend the Gao family's wedding banquet to save trouble.

Gao’s mansion was filled with relatives, friends, and guests from all over. Lin Xuan gave them two spirit stones and let them in. However, they went to a side courtyard, so there was no 100% guarantee that the groom would come to the side courtyard to toast and warm up the atmosphere.

After all, the guests in the side courtyard are basically here to enjoy the fun, so the host has to abide by the rules.

The guests who came to the side courtyard to join in the fun were chatting and blowing firecrackers enthusiastically. Lin Xuan took the opportunity to continue to inquire about the ins and outs of this marriage. The man and woman knew each other, but had no intention of getting married to each other.

But the families of both sides liked each other, and the elders set about facilitating their marriage, and the two of them were arranged to be together.

He did not meddle in other people's business. This kind of marriage was quite common in the mortal world. Moreover, from what the guests said, there was no aversion between the male and female protagonists of this marriage.

Even if a man and a woman are not deeply in love, they can still enter the marriage hall. However, secular common sense tends to use marriage as the ultimate form of love. Lin Xuan always feels that there is something strange about it.

There were blasts of firecrackers, and judging from the noise, it seemed that the wedding procession was returning. The main road between the two palaces was paved with firecrackers, and the explosions released a strange smell. Lin Xuan's nose twitched as he smelled the gunpowder.

The sound of cannons roared, the guests whispered, and occasionally glanced at the nobleman sitting in the corner. People felt it was quite strange. Why was this noble-looking young man sitting in the side courtyard?

Afterwards, Gao's servants began to serve the dishes. Although the dishes were not very tasty, they were still exquisite and tasted good.

During the banquet, the groom stumbled to the side courtyard to inform the guests. The guests coaxed him, toasted him and congratulated him. The expression on his face looked like happiness. He should be satisfied with the bride, right?

Lin Xuan is no longer the blank slate he was when he just walked out of the mountain gate. Dongxue has taught him many things. According to what Dongxue taught him, the young man from the Gao family is probably happy because he has brought the beauty home.

The mainstream in the world of immortal cultivation is gentlemen seeking beauties, and sects and holy places dominated by women are only a minority.

On the other hand, the groom of the Gao family has the cultivation level of the second level of Qi Refining, and looks like a young man. His appearance can only be said to be up to the passing level of a Qi Refining cultivator. It is impossible for his marriage to fail because of his ugliness.

At the instigation of the guests, the groom, who was already beginning to feel tipsy, became unconscious. He was then helped back to his room by a beautiful girl who was dressed exquisitely. The guests said that she was the bride's personal maid.

The men looked envious. Lin Xuan was puzzled and expressed his doubts. Everyone whispered to him, "The personal maid is kept by the Zhong family to take care of the bride. If the bride is tired, it will definitely be the maid's turn to replace her master."

"The beauty of two girls, hey! If you guys want to taste it, you have to go to the brothel and spend a lot of spirit stones! In a damn brothel, it doesn't cost much to order a girl alone, but once you order more than two, the price will be several times higher. They really know how to do business!"

After listening to the old senior's instruction, Lin Xuan opened his eyes wide. It was the first time he knew that it was possible to play like this. In this regard, he was just a novice who had just learned to walk.

The older guests' selfless sharing of experiences undoubtedly greatly broadened Lin Xuan's horizons.

At sunset, the bridal chamber prank began. Because both families had strict rules, the guests were very tactful and only engaged in verbal disturbances. The children entered the room to grab candies and red envelopes.

I heard that in some places, the situation is so outrageous that guests have to listen to the noise outside their rooms.

Obviously, the Gao family and the Zhong family would not do such a ridiculous thing as allowing guests to eavesdrop on the sex outside the bridal chamber and would punish anyone who dared to cause trouble.

It was getting dark, and the whole wedding finally came to an end. Lin Xuan saw new things and went back home in the evening. On the way, he thought about himself and his several sisters!

He finally understood what his good sisters had been hiding from him: they wanted to be his partners!

"My sisters want to be my wife... I had no power when I met them, so why did they fall for me? Is it because there are more females than males in the sect, and there are more wolves than meat?"

He returned to the Treasure Pavilion before midnight that night. Dongxue took advantage of the daytime free time to break through to the second level of Qi Refining and stayed there for another day. After making sure that Zhou Muer was settled, he took Dongxue away.

With just a simple farewell before leaving, Elder Ding said that she would take good care of Zhou Muer. She had a few decades left to live, which was definitely enough for her to climb to a higher position, and she could come and go as she pleased.

----------

In the Xuannv Palace area, there are mountains, rivers, and dense forests everywhere. A magic sword broke through the wind and flew away. Dongxue looked at the direction of advance and asked, "Master, have you taken me back to the Xuannv Palace today?"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "I will go back to the capital of Tang State first. I need to do something. I will go back after I finish it."

Dongxue's eyes flickered. What Lin Xuan said made her curious. They had originally left Tang Kingdom and came to Xiliang. Why did they have to wait in a foreign country for so long?

"You'll know when we return to the capital of Tang Kingdom." Lin Xuan's eyes were complicated. His sister's feelings for him were intriguing. They had been honest with each other for so many times and played in the water together. Didn't she really understand the beauty of it?

She must have deceived herself...More importantly, she was wrong, because she was a girl!

There was no conversation along the way. Lin Xuan rushed to the Zhang family's land a hundred miles away from the imperial capital of Tang Kingdom at the fastest speed.

The imperial capital seems calm on the surface, and one cannot perceive the undercurrents unless one goes in personally. The focus of this trip is not the imperial city. Dongxue looks at the magnificent small capital in the wilderness in confusion, the land of the Zhang family!

A certain courtyard of the Zhang family was quite lively at this time.

Chapter 23 Home Visit

Only the Zhang family had set up their base camp near the imperial capital of Tang State. The Zhang family's territory was bustling for a few days. A direct descendant of the Zhang family took in several concubines and married several wives, and hosted banquets for many important people.

That direct descendant of the clan had the eighth level of Qi Refining cultivation, and as he came from a large sect, he could almost be said to be the number one person under the ancestor. Therefore, the ancestor of the Zhang family and most of the elders of the clan showed up at the wedding, which gave this family enough honor.

As a few days passed, the enthusiasm for the wedding died down, and the visiting relatives left one after another. At the same time, the clansmen who had married several wives were busy continuing the family line. He felt a heavy burden on his shoulders and worked hard for it.

The concubines who married him were carefully selected by his parents. They were three mortal women who stayed in the stage of tempering their Qi and blood, and they were female martial artists. The two old men promised that if they had children, they would help them cultivate to the first level of Qi Refining.

Increasing lifespan and maintaining youthfulness are very attractive to female warriors. Even if they marry a fat and out-of-shape husband, he has regular facial features and they can eat him.

This direct descendant young man is Zhang Lai. He becomes an old farmer and works hard to cultivate three acres of fertile land. His parents will not let him go back to Xuannv Palace until they see new seedlings emerge. The outer disciples of Xuannv Palace are guaranteed to be at the Yongquan stage, and the Zifu stage is possible. In fact, there is no rush to reproduce, but the old couple has no time.

Therefore, the bridal chamber was also very lively during the day. Ordinary women were short of energy, and it happened that the three concubines took turns to give each other some rest time, but Zhang Lai was not allowed to rest.

Zhang Miaotong occasionally passed by the bridal chamber and could hear every noise clearly, which distracted her and made her think of her brother. When would he finally come to his senses, take her with him, drink with her, and make love with her?

It would be too infuriating if she was forced to put aside her girlish modesty and take her brother away on her own initiative.

In fact, she didn't hate her biological brother that much. His absence from home for many years only made her feel less family affection. Her parents' love for her did not decrease. At most, her relationship with him became weak. Besides, he introduced her to a good brother, and her future happiness might be contributed by him.

On the other hand, Zhang's father and mother are living a peaceful life. They are old, almost ninety years old. After ninety, they will be a hundred years later, so they basically have only a few years left to live. Their biggest wish in their later years is to enjoy the company of their grandchildren.

It is said that the life span of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is 120 years, but in fact, the life span of cultivators at a lower level is discounted, and the maximum age is just over 100 years. The truly magical thing about the Qi Refining Stage is that the aging of the body is delayed to about ten years before burial.

Zhang's father and mother asked Zhang to take a concubine, not necessarily requiring him to give birth to a grandson, a granddaughter would be fine.

"Dad, Mom." Zhang Miaotong entered her parents' bedroom. They did not have sex during the day.

She is the apple of the old couple's eye, especially Zhang's father. The old father pays special attention to his youngest daughter. When he sees his daughter walk into the room, Zhang's father frowns and says, "You want to marry the brother you recognized? I need to think about it more."

Zhang Miaotong's face darkened when she heard this. She always felt that it was unpleasant to see the descriptions in vernacular novels where the heads of families, parents and matchmakers hindered the protagonist's love. Now that the time had come, she felt even more unpleasant.

"Oh, Dad, please think about it." Zhang Miaotong was obedient on the surface, too lazy to refute her father. Who told him that he was her old father? He had spoiled her enough, so she should not be angry with him.

Anyway, she had to go back to Xuannv Palace to seek the truth, so she could just hide in the sect and offer it to her brother. How could he care? She could just disguise herself when she went home to visit her relatives and not let him find out!

Zhang's mother slapped Zhang's father. She was much more open-minded than Zhang's father about her daughter's life events. She smiled and said to Zhang Miaotong, "Just ignore your father's nonsense. Be bold when you meet your sweetheart. Don't regret it."

"Thank you, mother!" A smile appeared on Zhang Miaotong's face. As expected, her mother was the best to her.

--------

Outside the Zhang family territory, Lin Xuan took out Zhang Lai's token and found that he could not get in touch with him. The token did not respond. He frowned and thought to himself, "Zhang Lai went back first? Why is there no response from his token?"

After using his magic power to drive the token two or three times without any response, he put the token back into the storage bag.

"Let's go in directly." Lin Xuan simply said to Dong Xue and landed in front of the entrance of the clan territory.

There is a wide road, and the farmlands on both sides have not been plowed. It is not yet the time to plant rice. There are ordinary fields beside the town gate. The farming rhythm is no different from that of ordinary people, except that they grow coarse spiritual rice mixed with ordinary rice.

At the entrance of the Zhang family's land stands a memorial archway, made of white stone, engraved with a dragon soaring into the sky and cloud patterns, with the words "Zhang Clan" inscribed on it. The Zhang family's land is semi-open to outsiders, and most places can be entered and exited freely.

The population of the entire town is made up of people from other families, who occupy one or two floors. At the same time, outsiders often come in to do business, so the entrance to the Zhang family's land is laxly managed and there is no gatekeeper.

Lin Xuan stopped a middle-aged man on the street and asked him, "Brother, are you from the Zhang family?"

The middle-aged man looked at him strangely and nodded: "Yes, what's the matter, little friend?"

"Yes, I'm looking for a friend, but I'm new here and I don't know where she lives. Brother, do you know where Zhang Miaotong lives? If you know, please let me know."

"Who is Zhang Miaotong?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion. The Zhang family is a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and many descendants. No one can know every member of the Zhang family accurately. Perhaps only the patriarch can make sure that all the clan members know him.

Helplessly, Lin Xuan changed the problem and asked several people for help, and finally found out Zhang Miaotong's address.

Dong Xue's eyes flickered as she asked, "Sir, who is this Zhang Miaotong? Are you interested in her?"

Lin Xuan glanced at her and answered carefully, "We are close, I think. I acknowledge her as my sister. When I left the mountain gate this time, I left with her. I sent her back home, but I didn't go in."

"I made an appointment with her to visit her home in the last few days before returning to the mountain gate."

"Oh~" Dongxue suddenly understood and automatically understood the meaning of Lin Xuan's words. She had gotten together with the young master before Zhang Miaotong? This made her very proud.

Things became easier once they knew the location. Lin Xuan and Dong Xue walked straight there quickly. Zhang Miaotong's home address was not a forbidden area for the Zhang family, so there was no need to worry about being stopped.

The two of them went straight to a yard at the corner of the street. After confirming again and again, Lin Xuan whispered to the people inside. In the bedroom, Zhang's father and mother were suddenly startled and looked at each other in surprise and doubt.

They felt a powerful spiritual power, which was probably second only to that of the ancestor, right?

Zhang Miaotong's face showed joy, and she said excitedly: "Dad, Mom, Brother Lin is here to visit!"

"Go out and take a look." Zhang's father swallowed his saliva. He was actually nervous when someone came to visit him. From what happened just now, it was easy to guess that the brother his daughter recognized was extremely powerful!
