Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 92 Heading to the Immortal City
Jinhuang Immortal City, Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.

"Auntie Yao, are you thinking about that heartless guy again?" Although more than 30 years have passed, Tong Yaoyao is still young and beautiful. Even her personality has not changed much because of her rich, carefree and peaceful life. She is just more cautious in front of outsiders.

Zhao Shuyao was very calm when she heard the voice. She did not hide the letter in her hand, but just left it there.

"Why are you still talking nonsense? Aunt Yao is already an old lady. She is just reminiscing about her old friend." Zhao Shuyao, who is already 73 years old, spoke calmly with a kind smile, which gave her the air of a scholar in her twilight years.

Tong Yaoyao half-knelt in front of Zhao Shuyao, smoothing her hair that was dotted with scattered silver strands. She said with a bit of disappointment, "Auntie Yao, a few years ago, you had a chance to get a rejuvenation pill..."

Zhao Shuyao gently pulled him into her arms and said, "Silly child, Aunt Yao has no magical power, and her vitality has begun to decline. The anti-aging pill can't restore youth, it will only delay your aging appearance by a few years. It's not necessary."

Tong Yaoyao sighed, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After a moment, she suddenly said with a firm look in her eyes, "Auntie Yao, this time, I will definitely help you get the demon core that will allow you to break through to the second level of physical cultivation!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuyao's face showed anticipation.

She has been stuck at the peak of the first-level physical cultivation for twenty years. The reason she gave up the anti-aging pill was because she wanted to strive for promotion to the second-level physical cultivation.

Once she is promoted to the second-level physical cultivation, she will have the confidence to investigate the family that raises blood slaves, and there is a possibility of revenge. At the very least, she can risk her life to tear off a piece of the other party's flesh, which will help her to have a better mind. Otherwise, she may die with regrets.

Although his Qi and blood have declined now, he still has a chance to reach the second level. If it is delayed for a few years, his Qi and blood will decline too much, and there will be no hope even if he has a demon core.

"Buzz~" At this moment, the communication talisman in his arms vibrated slightly.

Zhao Shuyao took out the communication talisman.

Zhang Tiezhu's message made her change color instantly!

“Almost top-grade!”

"How...how is this possible?"

Zhao Shuyao was completely stunned by the gift of nineteen spiritual roots.

Tong Yaoyao was also quite surprised: "How could that guy's son have such good spiritual roots? Doesn't he only have two?"

"What kind of Taoist partner did Brother Li find?" Sixteen years ago, when Zhao Shuyao learned that Li Ji'an was kicked out of the Yan family, she sighed that things are unpredictable. Later, she tried to contact him, but to no avail.

And at that time, Zhang Tiezhu told her the reason why Li Ji'an was expelled from the clan.

This actually made her want to meet the eldest daughter of the Yan family.

However, the news that Li Fan returned to his native tribe seven years ago made her feel a little strange again.

She didn't expect that Li Ji'an would find a Taoist partner so soon after leaving the Yan family, and she estimated that she was pregnant that year.

This brought back to life the resentment that had been suppressed for many years.

I thought Li Ji'an was devoted to the immortal path, so he rejected her forty years ago, but I never thought...

Fortunately, I am old now and those emotions are fleeting.

During these seven years, she often asked Zhang Tiezhu about Li Fan's news, and in her heart she regarded him as the closest junior in this world.

After all, he is Brother Li’s child.

The five people came to this world without any relatives or friends, so they became the closest people to each other.

I also discussed the possibility of providing assistance with Zhang Tiezhu and Dong Jiangling.

However, the three of them didn't actually hold out much hope. After all, Li Ji'an's spiritual root aptitude was the worst among the five of them.

But now... Li Fan's spiritual roots made Zhao Shuyao incredible, and she had more hope.

With such spiritual talent, as long as the resources keep up, it is almost certain that he will be able to build a foundation, and even... he may be able to aspire to form a pill.

More importantly, Zhang Tiezhu had made some attempts in the past few years and learned that Li Fan actually knew about the Xianci Dynasty and the family that raised blood slaves. He also claimed that he had received instructions from his father that if he had the ability, he would definitely avenge his ancestors who had been deceived from the Xianci Dynasty and came here over the past hundred years!

"Yaoyao, Auntie Yao has never begged you before, but this time, Auntie Yao begs you..." Soon, Zhao Shuyao made a decision.

She decided to give up the possible resources to break through to the second level of physical cultivation in exchange for Yaoyao's help to Li Fan!
At the same time, she was also eager to meet Brother Li's son!
Three days later, another unexpected news made her excited.

"The eldest lady took Xiaofan to participate in the Biyun Sect trial!"

"The eldest lady of the Yan family is coming too?" The moment Zhao Shuyao received this news, she was excited about meeting Big Brother Li's offspring, and she was also nervous because she was about to meet the eldest lady of the Yan family whom Big Brother Li had been longing for.

After all, she was already a Foundation Establishment Patriarch, and her status and position were transcendent. Upon hearing this news, Tong Yaoyao stood firmly behind Zhao Shuyao and said, "Auntie Yao, there's no need to be afraid of her. Have you forgotten that Yaoyao is also a Foundation Establishment Taoist?"
-
When Yan Qingwan was building her foundation more than ten years ago, she was quietly escorted to Jinhuang Immortal City by her clan. She then stayed there for four years and was no stranger to the immortal city.

But now, she has established a solid foundation and can travel throughout the Tiancang Realm.

Once the foundation is established, the foundation of Taoism will be initially laid. The power and magic power are incomparable to those in the Qi Refining Stage. Unless there is a life-and-death feud, no one will be willing to offend. Even a Jindan Zhenren will not target you for no reason.

That day, Yan Qingwan piloted the flying boat, carrying Li Ji'an towards the Jinhuang Immortal City.

"Fan'er, do you blame your aunt for sending you out of the family?" Yan Qingwan stood on the flying boat and asked gently, looking at Li Ji'an, who was half a head taller than her.

Li Ji'an smiled, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Aunt, I'm not a child anymore. How could I not understand your good intentions? Regardless of whether I can enter the sect after this trial, I will always remember this kindness and this favor!"

"Fan'er is really smart! You don't have to feel any pressure when you go to Biyun Sect. Just do your best. Your aunt will always stand behind you." Yan Qingwan looked at Li Ji'an lovingly with a sweet smile.

It is 100,000 miles away from here to Jinhuang Immortal City, and there are many barren places along the way. It will take nearly four months to get there by the Yan family's flying boat.

Yan Qingwan sometimes sits cross-legged to practice and replenish her magic power.

Because Li Ji'an had to participate in the sect trial, he was not taught the Yan family's top-grade martial arts "Flame Dragon Art". This is because once you master the main martial arts in this world, it is almost impossible to practice other martial arts in a small realm. After all, re-cultivating martial arts will definitely consume potential.

He spent more time on the flying boat to condense his qi and blood.

At the same time, he also compared it with the flying boat driven by the Immortal Master Jie Yin more than 40 years ago. It was one level higher than the Yan family's flying boat. This also indirectly confirmed the information Zhao Shuyao learned that year. The family that raised blood slaves might really be one of the five major families.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, how are you?" Just after leaving the desert of Fallen Dragon Ridge, a flying boat came after them.

Yan Qingwan swept her spiritual sense across the area, her eyes gradually turning colder. She immediately stood at the bow of the boat, staring at an old acquaintance on the flying boat behind her.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng's actions are truly reckless. Aren't you afraid of sparking a violent conflict?"

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Yan, you're joking. Everyone in the world knows that the Zheng and Yan families have been friends for nine generations and are of the same blood. Even among the eight major families in the wilderness, they are the closest two families. How can there be any conflict?" Zheng Tianxiang laughed heartily and took the initiative to disperse his magic power.

He established his foundation three years earlier than Yan Qingwan, but unfortunately, he was a little careless after he succeeded in establishing his foundation. He was eager to return to his clan before it was stable. On the way, he was killed by two foundation-building cultivators. Although he was protected by the clan's foundation-building cultivators and had no worries about his life, even after recuperating over the years, his possibility of further progress was cut off.

The Zheng family has always suspected that this was caused by the bounty offered by seven other black market companies in the wasteland, but there is no evidence.

The Zheng family has been dormant these years, and unexpectedly, they would show up today.

"Brother Zheng has practiced diligently for many years, and his skills have indeed improved." Yan Qingwan sneered, mocking him for being even more shameless.

Zheng Tianxiang didn't take it seriously: "Fellow Daoist Yan, you are too kind. I came here solely to continue the friendship between our two families."

Without waiting for Yan Qingwan's response, he took out a storage bag and said, "I just learned today that Daoist Yan's nephew is close to having a top-grade spiritual root and is planning to go to the sect. I have come here specially to give you a gift. Please accept it."

Yan Qingwan ignored Zheng Tianxiang and looked at Li Ji'an beside her.

"Haha, my friend, my name is Zheng Tianxiang. I used to have a close relationship with your father, so we can be considered old friends. It's really a cause for celebration." Zheng Tianxiang saw Yan Qingwan remained silent, and then looked at Li Ji'an.

What a friendship like Guan and Bao, Li Ji'an smiled secretly in his heart.

Zheng Tianxiang had lured him out of the market many times in the past. His intentions were obvious and had already been recorded in his little notebook.

"By the way, your father's former mentor, Master Mo Dan, also asked me to send you a gift. He once promised your father that he would take care of you." As he spoke, Zheng Tianxiang took out another bottle of pills.

Speaking of this, Yan Qingwan laughed.

"Fan'er, since Fellow Daoist Zheng is so generous, just accept it." After saying that, he waved his hand and took the thing from Zheng Tianxiang's hand.

Seeing this, Zheng Tianxiang didn't delay any longer and bowed to Yan Qingwan: "Hahaha, that's great. The Zheng family is very sincere. I hope that Fellow Daoist Yan can put aside the past grudges. I also wish you good luck in the sect entrance examination. Farewell."

Yan Qingwan carefully investigated with her spiritual sense and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the bag of 200 spirit stones and the bottle of mid-stage Qi-replenishing pill. She looked at Zheng Tianxiang's departing back with some suspicion.

"Do you really want to befriend the Yan family?"

Li Ji'an's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Zheng family might have to take action.

"Lian Heng!"
