My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

She originally planned to dedicate her life to completing a celestial artifact in each of her lifetimes, but she was troubled by having too many ideas. Moreover, after being reborn, she would have new inspirations, so wouldn't she have an inexhaustible supply of inspiration?

As for Lin Ye, who was the first to refine a celestial artifact, she did not feel the jealousy that Ji Xuan had imagined, nor did she look down on him or want him to prove himself.

Even if he had never met him, Gongshu Yan knew better than anyone that a cultivator who could continuously refine immortal artifacts during the Nascent Soul stage must be a grandmaster in the field.

Gongshu Yan was quite excited about the opportunity to complete all his immortal artifact designs in this lifetime.

Ji Xuan quickly composed himself and smiled, "Good, very good!"

"Your aunt will definitely help you get out."

"However, after we get out, I have an important task for you." Ji Xuan smiled slightly.

Gongshu Yan's expression turned solemn, and he stood up to greet her: "Thank you, Aunt. May I ask what important task you have entrusted to me?"

Ji Xuan returned the bow with composure: "Let me explain in detail."

The two walked through the long corridor and sat down by the pavilion where the spiritual mist was rising.

Xueying was already sitting there waiting. She waved and looked at her daughter with a smile: "You're here? Your aunt has come to test you today."

"..." When Gongshu Yan saw Xueying, his cheeks immediately puffed up, and a ball of air was being tossed back and forth between his cheeks.

Although this small world is not bad, the environment is ultimately not as good as the outside world. Whether it is transcending tribulations or refining immortal artifacts, it is out of the question.

Gongshu Yan was imprisoned here for sixty years, so of course he couldn't forge any immortal artifacts.

She didn't hold a grudge against Xueying.

He was so focused on forging weapons that he had no time to worry about anything else.

What's infuriating is that Xueying is even more heartless than her.

Xueying was neither proud of preventing her daughter from dying, nor did she realize who she had hurt by locking her up. In any case, she continued to laugh and joke with her daughter as if nothing had happened.

Gongshu Yan felt it would be foolish to argue with her, but seeing the smile on Xueying's face, his fists hardened involuntarily.

Ji Xuan was also speechless and said, "Xue Ying, tell the truth... you're not worried that your niece will steal Lin Ye away, so you locked her up again, are you? After all, they are both weapon refiners."

Xueying was stunned, and a blush quickly spread across her face: "You're talking nonsense... I'm just worried about the political implications!"

"Besides, don't I know what kind of person my daughter is?"

Gongshu Yan nonchalantly took a sip of tea and replied, "I have no interest in men."

Ji Xuan remained silent and did not respond.

Gongshu Yan asked curiously, "Auntie, has something happened outside?"

Ji Xuan shook his head: "Now, the movement of the human, witch, and demon races toward a republic is probably unstoppable."

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and he shook his head in disbelief.

She couldn't help but rub the corner of her eye.

"A republic of three races?"

"Auntie, I clearly remember that not long ago, the demon race and the witch race were at each other's throats over the Lin Ye..." Gongshu Yan looked at Xue Ying with a puzzled expression.

Ji Xuan replied earnestly, "The current leader of the alliance, revered by the three races, is none other than Lin Ye—this little immortal has grown to the point that no one can ignore him."

"Oh, then...that should be a good thing, right?"

"Not entirely." Ji Xuan shook his head, his tone grave. "Our demon race lags far behind the human and witch races!"

"Whether it's the human race or the witch race, they are closer to Lin Ye. If we sit idly by, we will suffer a great loss... and even face the danger of extinction!"

"Huh?" Gongshu Yan was stunned, and after a long while, he said in astonishment, "Isn't Lin Ye a cultivator from our demon race?"

How did things come to this?

Ji Xuanxu narrowed his eyes: "You'll have to ask your mother about that..."

After they finished speaking, the two of them turned their gazes to Xueying.

Xueying hesitated for a long time.

"Um... there is something I need to take care of."

......

After Xueying finished explaining what had happened, Gongshu Yan rubbed his forehead.

She asked in a tone of utter disappointment, "Mother, how could you possibly have offended him to this extent? He's one of our clansmen!"

Xueying whispered, "So it's time for you to make your appearance..."

"My dear daughter, you must explain this to me!"

Gongshu Yan waved his sleeve and said, "I don't know how. Let your aunt do it."

Ji Xuan sighed and said, "Very well..."

“I was wrong too. If I had been more firm in my stance back then, I might have saved Lin Shangxian long ago. There would have been no chance for the Wu Clan to interfere.”

"But at the time, the war between the Lich King and the Demon King was about to break out, and I had no choice but to do it! Immortal Lin didn't hold a grudge against me... He's not a mean or ungrateful person, as long as you're useful to him!"

"It seems my niece is only one step away from reaching the Tribulation Stage. Is she ready?"

Gongshu Yan shook his head: "Not yet, but if I can leave this small secret realm, I will be ready soon."

Xueying whispered, "Very good, daughter... the heavy responsibility of saving the 36,000 tribes of the demon race rests on your shoulders alone!"

Gongshu Yan pursed his lips, shook off his long sleeves, revealing his tightly clenched fist.

"I only know how to forge weapons, not politics."

"I don't know if it will turn out as you wish, but I was planning to see him anyway."

"I will proceed as planned."

Gongshu Yan stood up, his eyes gleaming: "Let me out."

The original plan...

Xueying hesitated for a moment and said, "How about letting your aunt go with you?"

Gongshu Yan smiled and said, "Then please have Aunt come along and say a few words for me! Also, Mother, you must come along too."

"Me?" Xueying shook her head repeatedly.

She composed herself and shook her head, saying, "Lin Ye will kill me."

Gongshu Yan chuckled.

Immediately, she raised her hand, and Xueying's dress suddenly tightened, binding her tightly and highlighting her voluptuous curves.

Xueying hadn't reacted yet, struggling to ask, "Daughter, what's going on?"

Gongshu Yan said with a smile, "Mother, don't struggle, or you'll break it."

"All the magical artifacts you're wearing are things I've made in recent years. Guess if I've tampered with them?"

"These were all preparations I made for my escape."

Xueying was silent for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on her face: "My good daughter, you've really grown up!"

"Aren't you angry?"

Xueying said happily, "I'm overjoyed that my daughter is so successful."

Gongshu Yan was silent for a moment, then clapped his hands: "Then you can come with me like this."

Xueying's eyes widened, and she said, "One thing at a time, that won't do!"

"I've read about this in a storybook. Are you trying to borrow my head? No way!"

Xueying struggled, tears welling in her eyes.

Forget about the daughter, the key issue is that she can't beat Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan understood, and waved his hand, saying, "Don't overthink it."

“If you’re going to do something, do it thoroughly. Come with us, and I’ll explain things to Immortal Lin on your behalf, but you’ll have to be there in person.”

Xueying collapsed to the ground during her struggle, then angrily raised her head: "Won't I be killed then?"

Gongshu Yan squatted down, his gaze deep and unsettling: "Mother, you really don't understand anything."

"This dress is more eye-catching than you. How could you possibly understand its ingenuity?" Gongshu Yan patted Xue Ying's cheek lightly, revealing a hearty smile. "Let's go!"

......

"Is Immortal Lin already meeting with others?"

The demon clan finally arrived at the Vermilion Bird clan's territory, only to find that someone had gotten there first.

Upon smelling the pungent, foul scent of the Wu clan's bloodline, Ji Xuan frowned deeply.

Chapter 559 Where is the Workshop?

The longer Ji Xuan waited, the more tense his expression became.

Judging from the bloodline she sensed, Lin Ye was currently meeting with three pro-peace high shamans of the Witch Clan.

When the marriage was arranged, these pro-peace shamans, who were on the opposing side, spoke up for Lin Ye. This was an extraordinary favor.

They are now naturally trusted.

Moreover, Dijiang had previously taken the initiative to show goodwill and move closer to Lin Ye.

The demon race is at a huge disadvantage!

Ji Xuan's status was far inferior to theirs, and there was a clear distinction between them.

'I can hardly become Lin Shangxian's confidant. As expected, I still have to rely on my niece...' Ji Xuan's gaze quietly fell on Gongshu Yan.

Gongshu Yan and Bai Huang were good friends. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Sensing Gongshu Yan's presence, Bai Huang came out to greet him, and the two were exchanging pleasantries.

Gongshu Yan said, "My sister's cultivation is almost catching up with mine, that's fast!"

Bai Huang chuckled: "You should become stronger so you can rescue your sister! How did she escape this time? Tell me!"

Gongshu Yan explained in detail: "Your aunt and the others asked me to go and please your husband."

"You know... I'm not good at socializing, but my original plan was to come and exchange weapon-refining techniques with him, so I took this opportunity to sneak out."

Ji Xuan and Bai Huang were both speechless for a moment.

After a while, Bai Huang covered her face with her sleeve and burst out laughing: "Sister, you're still so straightforward."

Gongshu Yan smiled and said, "I should thank your husband for giving me a chance to escape this cage. I heard that the three tribes are about to form a republic, and he's doing so well. You have good taste..."

Bai Huang said with an embarrassed look, "Sister, I can't be modest about this."

“Also,” Gongshu Yan pointed to Xue Ying, who was tied up to the side, “about her…”

Gongshu Yan sighed and said with some difficulty, "White Emperor, I've heard about it. I'm truly sorry, my mother really doesn't know the rules..."

Xueying had a bitter face.

I should have known better than to secretly touch his butt... I'm in so much trouble now!

The White Emperor's expression calmed down slightly.

"Sister, I understand you don't know how to plead with people, so please stop."

"I've been thinking about this for a while. If you want to save my life, I'll agree for your sake. But don't bring up anything else. You should take over the White Tiger Clan as soon as possible."

Gongshu Yan nodded happily, then said with shame, "Alright, thank you, sister. I will definitely discipline her properly."

"As for the White Tiger Clan, I've long wanted to take over."

Gongshu Yan was all smiles, looking completely carefree.

Bai Huang was slightly taken aback, and said helplessly, "Sister should also be preparing for her tribulation and studying weapon forging. How can she be the clan leader?"

Gongshu Yan chuckled: "I firmly believe that there's always a way out..."

Seeing that the two were chatting amicably, Ji Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that there is indeed hope for my demon race!

"...Master, we shall take our leave now."

Dijiang, accompanied by two high shamans, respectfully bowed to Lin Ye, took three steps back while maintaining the bowed posture, and then turned to leave, bumping right into the group of demons.

Dijiang was somewhat surprised to see Ji Xuan. He gave a brief greeting and then quickly left.
