Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 27 Senior Brother's Transmigration
Ning Sujin, who had been maintaining a cool attitude, frowned the moment she heard the phrase "beautiful women are a disaster".

"What do you mean by beautiful women are the root of trouble? Isn't it all caused by men's lust?"

Old Ma froze for a moment when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Ah...yes, yes, I was talking nonsense, nonsense."

"Say! What's going on?"

Ning Sujin had a deep impression of Xiao Wu. After all, during the five years in Xunxianyuan of Chong'an Prefecture, Xiao Wu was the person closest to Li Ji'an. He often helped Li Ji'an deliver the meat of precious beasts. Ning Yutan, the little brother-in-law, initially tried to win over Xiao Wu in order to get closer to Li Ji'an.

Ning Sujin also knew Xiao Wu. He was an upright person who was content with what he had and was loyal to his duties.

"I..." Old Ma shrank his head and didn't dare to speak carelessly, fearing that his words would bring disaster. After all, he was dismissed and demoted to guard the city gate just because he spoke a fair word for Xiao Wu. He could only look at Li Ji'an pleadingly.

Li Ji'an nodded. "That's all right. This is the jewel in the crown of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the one personally bestowed upon her by the current ruler. She is a person who is always eager to help others and fight for justice!"

Before she finished her words, Ning Sujin's murderous eyes were already glaring at Li Ji'an.

Over the past two years, she has become accustomed to Li Ji'an's flattery.

This forced him to join the game to help him save his uncle Xiao.

However... even though she knew she was being used, she didn't resist at all. Instead, she enjoyed it. It sounded like she enjoyed what that guy said.

Li Ji'an smiled. Although he couldn't sit idly by and watch his old friend suffer, it would be best if he didn't get involved himself.

The most important thing is that the other party was able to instruct the City Guards to take action, and even made such a crude move against Xiao Wu from the government office. Their power must be considerable. With his current status as a reserve immortal seedling, he might not be able to handle the matter properly.

It is even possible that the other party already knew Xiao Wu's identity as a reserve immortal seedling before attacking him.

I no longer want to prove my age, and I naturally don't want to be stubborn if I can borrow help.

As for the idea of concealing Ning Sujin's identity and dragging it out at the last moment to show off and slap her in the face, there is no such idea at all. That will only cause more trouble.

"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Old Ma's eyes lit up instantly.

There is salvation, the boss is saved.

If it was just Li Ji'an, he wouldn't have much confidence, after all, the other party was too powerful.

"No need to be so polite! Tell the truth." Ning Sujin raised her chin slightly.

"Yes, yes, half a month ago, the captain and I were patrolling the streets as usual when we caught three refugees who had sneaked into the city. After a thorough investigation, we determined that they were not serious criminals. The captain took pity on their suffering and let them go.

As a result, on the second day, the city guards broke into the government office and captured the captain of the police, saying that the rebel had confessed, that the captain of the police was a spy in the city, and that the three people who confessed were the refugees who were released the day before. I guarantee with my heads that they are definitely not rebels.

On the day the chief constable was imprisoned, someone dressed as a housekeeper went to the chief constable's home and threatened and bribed my sister-in-law. I was demoted because of this..."

After hearing this, Ning Sujin's face showed a trace of contempt and disgust. "Humph! Such a lustful ghost, so audacious that he dared to forcibly seize another man's wife, is simply lawless. I will take care of this matter. Go to the government office!"

In less than an hour, Xiao Wu, covered in bruises, walked out of the prison and was reinstated.

At the same time, the old housekeeper who went to Xiao Wu's house to use threats and bribes was beaten to death by the master in front of everyone, and a captain of the city guard was demoted for corruption and abuse of power.

There is one advantage of a society without the rule of law: as long as you hold power, you can do whatever you want.

After this incident, the two men no longer had the mood to stay overnight in Chong'an Prefecture. They rode their horses at full speed and arrived at Zixiao Temple in Shangyi County two days later.

After seven years, Zixiao Temple remains the same in Li Ji'an's heart.

As he stepped into the temple, he felt much more relaxed.

Until I saw my senior brother Liu Deshan, who was very old, lying on the hospital bed. He had always been chubby in my memory since childhood, but now he was much thinner, with sunken eyes and wrinkles all over his face.

"Chang'an...you're back." He tried hard to open his cloudy eyes and raised one hand with difficulty.

Li Ji'an knelt before the bed, holding his withered hand with both hands, and slowly passed his Qi and blood into his body to warm his heart meridians. "Master, Chang'an is back."

"Okay, okay, okay..." Liu Deshan looked Li Ji'an over and over and said okay again and again.

"I'll go down right away and tell my junior brother the good news. Chang'an, you've accomplished what he couldn't. Xian Miao... my junior brother will definitely be pleased to know this."

Looking at his senior brother who looked like a completely different person, Li Ji'an's mind flashed through memories of his past life.

Scenes of my senior brother from childhood to adulthood and then to middle age flashed by.

Flowers bloom and fade, clouds gather and disperse...life is fleeting.

That night, Li Ji'an stayed by Liu Deshan's bedside all night and listened to Liu Deshan sighing for half the night.

No entrustment, no request, only encouragement and comfort.

In his final moments, my brother seemed very relieved. He did not have the delusion of desperately wanting to live and fearing death that some people have before they die.

Li Ji'an wasn't sure if it was because he had no regrets or he felt that life was supposed to be this way, or if it was just because he didn't know that there were really immortal cultivators in the world and that human lifespans could really break through the limits.

Three days later, Master Houde passed away.

At this point, the only two people who were closest to Li Ji'an in his previous life were gone.

Qingyun also matured in an instant and took over Liu Deshan's mantle.

At the same time, after not seeing each other for seven years and only communicating through letters, Qingyun's unfamiliarity with Li Ji'an was obvious.

More awe than affection.

Liying looked at Ning Sujin several times and wanted to ask Li Ji'an, but she didn't ask.

In the end, Li Ji'an deliberately teased him a few times, and he was able to regain some of their childhood closeness, but it was already far from the same.

After taking care of his senior brother's funeral, Li Ji'an once again walked out of the safe haven of his previous life.

This time, he looked back and stared for a long time, probably really about to leave.

On the way back to the Imperial City Immortal Palace, Li Ji'an once again regained his usual calm and unrestrained self. In addition to occasionally teasing Ning Sujin to relieve the boredom of the journey, he also actively discussed the experience of stimulating qi and blood with Ning Sujin.

Ever since he met the "immortal" two years ago and had a clear plan for the future, he began to study external skills that stimulated Qi and blood in his spare time from practicing internal skills.

After all, since the "immortals" are practitioners, there are naturally differences in strength. Ordinary martial arts may not necessarily pose a threat to weak practitioners.

During these two years of research, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the insights he had accumulated over four lifetimes regarding the methods of stimulating qi and blood in external gong had a miraculous effect.

Ning Sujin claimed to have mastered the top-level movement technique "Piao Ping Bu" in just one month. He mastered it in just half a month. Not only did he fully comprehend its core and the key to the circulation of Qi and blood, he even made three fine adjustments to further improve the technique.

Internal skills mostly rely on the roots, bones and meridians, especially the first few small realms, while external skills have almost nothing to do with physical qualifications. It only depends on how to call upon the qi and blood in the body, how to circulate it, and how to maximize the use of the qi and blood in the body. It relies most on comprehension.

This ensures Li Ji'an's plans for his next life.
