Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 10 Call Me Uncle
After some flattery, Li Ji'an understood the five people's intention.

All five of them are outstanding students from Shangyi County Martial Arts Academy who entered Xunxian Academy.

Except for Xiao Wu, the other four people all have the intention of making friends with the quasi-immortal seedlings.

Xiao Wu asked about the situation of "Li Jichang".

After sending away the other four people and the attendants, Li Ji'an took Xiao Wu into his own private courtyard.

"Strictly speaking, you have to call me uncle!"

Li Ji'an told Xiao Wu the most logical rumor circulating in Shangyi County, which made Xiao Wu sigh.

After a moment of reminiscing, Xiao Wu, who was already 22 years old, made a shocking statement with a slightly profound tone.

"I promised your father that I would take care of you. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me." Before Li Ji'an could digest the previous sentence, Xiao Wu added seriously.

Li Ji'an tried hard to suppress his laughter. Xiao Wu had just told him about his current situation. He had been admitted to Xunxian Academy for the second time, and had basically given up the idea of becoming an immortal. All he wanted was to make further progress in martial arts and learn the real external training methods of Xunxian Academy.

Now, at the age of twenty-two, he has made some progress in bone forging and has learned the advanced technique "Zhu Lang Sword Technique" from Xunxian Academy. He can be considered a promising young man. He has joined the city police station and has been promoted to deputy chief constable.

He also brought his parents from Shangyi County to the provincial capital to settle down and work, and they got married last year.

Except for his rest days and the time he took to practice martial arts while on duty, he always wore uniform and patrolled the area with five subordinates.

After a brief hesitation, Li Ji'an erased the image of the young Xiao Wu from his memory, immediately stood up, and bowed solemnly to Xiao Wu: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao."

With "rejuvenation", such scenes and changes in interpersonal relationships are bound to occur frequently in future life.

It doesn't matter whether you are at a disadvantage or take advantage of others in terms of titles or relationships.

On the contrary, such relationships can become capital and support for one's next life. Every additional one can reduce the growth risks during childhood.

"Well! Remember to work hard and don't let your talent go to waste, and don't let your father down.

I have been in Xunxian Academy for five years and have seen many people with outstanding talents who entered Xunxian Academy with excellent grades, but ultimately failed to withstand the many temptations of the capital city and ended up being mediocre.

Among them are some geniuses with extraordinary talents...

In addition, martial arts realm and strength are not equal. Without external skills, it is like guarding a treasure mountain without anyone to enter. You must seize the opportunity to practice external skills.

"Seeking immortality is too vague, there's no need to pursue it deliberately. If you can learn a martial art, you can settle down in this world," Xiao Wu taught earnestly.

"I will definitely remember Uncle Xiao's teachings!" Li Ji'an bowed again.

Xiao Wu patted Li Ji'an's head with satisfaction: "You are much better than your father! Good, good. Also, if you are not used to living in the hospital, you can move to my house."

He declined Xiao Wu's kindness, listened to Xiao Wu reminiscing about the good and bad times and recalling his interactions with Li Ji'an in his previous life for a while, and finally sent him away.

Before leaving, Xiao Wu repeatedly invited Li Ji'an to visit his aunt at home.

"This kid..." Watching Xiao Wu go away, Li Ji'an smiled knowingly.

During the period of reminiscing about the good and bad times, Xiao Wu's words were mostly aimed at building up a great image for Li Ji'an's previous life, and many of them were untrue.

Why was he at odds with the teacher?

Together with him, we fought against many enemies and defeated more than a dozen other apprentices.

He even made up a story about Li Ji'an taking him to a brothel for the first time...

"Hey~ Are you Li Ji'an, who is second in the whole prefecture?" Li Ji'an, who was immersed in his memories, was suddenly awakened by a playful and light voice.

Turning his head, he saw three young women standing at the gate of the courtyard next door. The one in the lead was quirky, her large almond-shaped eyes staring at Li Ji'an with curiosity. "I'm Li Ji'an," Li Ji'an smiled and nodded.

At the same time, I had already compared it with the information I had learned in advance.

As expected, this woman is Ning Yutan, who ranked first in this year's Chong'an Prefecture Martial Arts Examination.

In addition to her widely known identity as the number one in the martial arts exam, Li Ji'an also learned a secret that has not been made public through the dean of the Shangyi County Martial Arts Academy: she is also the talented daughter of Dingyuan Marquis, the most powerful man in the entire Chong'an Prefecture.

He is still three months away from turning fifteen, but he has already entered the stage of bone tempering. His talent is extraordinary.

According to the dean, the marrow cleansing pill that Emperor Taizu rewarded Dingyuan Hou Mansion with was probably given to him.

Of course, the fact that he is qualified to take the marrow cleansing pill proves that his own bones and talents are extraordinary, and taking it is icing on the cake.

"Very good, very good. You helped me vent my anger, so I should reward you. Chunfeng, Qiuyue, bring me the snacks my mother gave me." Ning Yutan said bluntly, and then sent two maids to get the things.

She walked briskly to Li Ji'an's side, and while looking him over, she casually said, "My name is Ning Yutan, and I'm the first in this martial arts exam. In the martial arts world, those who achieve success are the first. From now on, you can call me Senior Sister. We'll be in the same group."

Innocent and free.

In this era, only wealthy families can raise such children.

And she is a woman.

This is enough to show that he is very much loved in the clan.

"So you are the champion. I admire you!" Li Ji'an complimented her but did not respond to her.

"Hehe~ ahem, it's just a trivial achievement, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. Hey, you should have never taken the marrow cleansing pill, right?" Ning Yutan smiled proudly, then pretended to be humble, and asked with some anticipation.

Li Ji'an smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Cleansing Marrow Pill was a magical elixir that could cleanse the tendons and marrow and improve the innate root bones. It was said that even the lowest root bones could be improved to the highest level with a Cleansing Marrow Pill. It was extremely rare in the world, so how could ordinary people enjoy it?
"Cheers!" Ning Yutan immediately clapped his hands with his fists, extremely excited.

"I told you, how useful can a Marrow Cleansing Pill be? It all depends on your talent and hard work. You could still be second even without the Marrow Cleansing Pill..."

Ning Yutan became increasingly excited as she spoke, and immediately shouted towards the private courtyard to Li Ji'an's right, "Ning Sujin, did you hear that? Li Ji'an didn't even take the Marrow Cleansing Pill, yet he pinned you down so hard, and you still dare to say I'm stronger than you because of the pill? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Ning Sujin?" Li Ji'an was slightly stunned.

According to the information he had found out, the third place in this session was a woman named Su Sujin.

It is said that she is a woman from a family of Qi and blood masters.

He is as plump and chubby as he is, but because his bone age is nine months older than his, he ranks behind him.

"Is your skin itchy again?"

Before Li Ji'an could react, a cold-looking woman appeared at the gate of the next courtyard.

He was dressed in a plain green suit, with his hair tied up high in a bun and a tall figure. If it weren't for his bright, crisp and feminine voice, at first glance, he would have looked like a handsome young man.

Looking closely, he looks 60% like Ning Yutan.

"What are you doing? I'm warning you, this is in Xunxianyuan, not in the Marquis' Mansion!" Ning Yutan was obviously very afraid of Ning Sujin, and hid behind Li Ji'an almost the moment he heard the voice.

"Hmph! Forgot what your father told you? When you're away from home, your elder sister is like a mother. I'm going to teach you a lesson, who can say no?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Ji'an felt a moment of trance before his eyes. Ning Sujin's figure became ethereal and vague. The next moment, a shadow flashed and she appeared beside Ning Yutan...
