Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 135 Returning Home
Dajingyuan, Liu family.

Returning to his hometown, he felt a little nervous. Riding on a thundercloud, Liu Xingfang could see the Liu family's mansion and several sacred mountains behind it from afar.

He did not inform his parents in advance of his trip and returned quietly.

He looked towards a low sacred mountain not far away, Zhixu Mountain. There were several caves hidden in the greenery on the mountain. It was where he practiced and lived in his youth, and it was also the residence of the Liu family's small branch.

He withdrew his gaze and slowly descended from the sky. A green cloud rushed out from the mansion. It was Brother Bai Yuan.

When the other party saw the newcomer, he looked delighted and called out from afar:
"Xingfang."

Liu Baiyuan had a very good appearance, with a touch of refinement between his eyebrows and eyes, which slightly diluted the noble air of his family and made him seem approachable. He was wearing a green robe, and his cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Refining was quite condensed.

"Brother Bai Yuan."

Liu Xingfang also stepped forward with a smile. Over the years, he no longer had the demeanor of a child from an aristocratic family. Instead, he had gained a fierce aura. His eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows looked like cold blades.

He did not wear green clothes on this trip, but changed into the [Duguang] robe given by his master, which was a royal blue robe with clouds, thunder and celestial horses visible on it.

Liu Baiyuan looked at his cousin calmly, with some appreciation in his eyes, and led him into the courtyard with a smile.

[Green Willow] stood quietly beside the pond, its willow leaves transformed into green carps, swimming in the air. A person was sitting in the pavilion, it was Liu Qiuci, with a maid standing quietly beside him.

"Xingfang is here."

Liu Qiuci shouted with a smile, and let Liu Baiyuan lead him forward to the pavilion.

"I've met the head of the family."

Liu Xingfang bowed respectfully, and Liu Qiuci said with a kind smile:

"Why bother being so particular? We are all family."

Liu Xingfang's eyes were serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Xingfang is here on Master's orders, so naturally, we must not lose our manners."

Liu Qiuci looked normal and continued to ask:

"What's the matter with this trip?"

Liu Xingfang immediately took out the secret letter and handed it to Liu Qiuci. After reading it, the other party said in a deep voice:

"That's feasible. I'll let your master know, and we can go together to congratulate you."

After saying this, the Liu family patriarch smiled and said:
"Why are you standing here instead of taking a seat?"

Liu Xingfang and Liu Baiyuan sat down one after another. Qingyun, who was standing beside them, was serving them spiritual tea and looking at them with some curiosity.

"I got the news that Xingfang has cultivated the sword essence, which is really amazing."

Liu Qiuci spoke first and looked at Liu Xingfang beside him with admiration.

"Brother Xingfang is very talented and a rare seed in the way of the sword."

Liu Baiyuan also sighed. After cultivating into the sword element, he was already considered a big shot and had weight in the clan.

"Thank you, Patriarch and Big Brother, for your kindness. Xingfang's ability to become a sword master is entirely due to Master's teachings."

Liu Xingfang looked respectful, without any sign of pride or arrogance, which made Liu Qiuci beside him nod slightly.

"There have been a lot of things happening in the clan over the years. Qing Wei is far away, so he might have ignored you. Don't take it to heart."

Liu Qiuci spoke in a low voice, looked at the disciple who was sent out of the clan, and continued:

"Just focus on your cultivation in Dachi and don't worry about clan affairs. Your cultivation of sword energy and breakthrough to the foundation-building stage will be the greatest reward you can give to the clan. Do you understand this principle?"

Liu Xingfang was a smart man, and he understood the clan's intentions, so he immediately replied:

"Xingfang will definitely live up to your trust."

Liu Qiuci nodded, then looked at Qingyun behind him and whispered a few words. The maid then went to get a treasure box and placed it on the table.

"You have cultivated the sword essence, and the clan will reward you. This item will be given to you."

Liu Qiuci opened the treasure box and pushed it in front of Liu Xingfang. Inside was a foundation-building pill surrounded by green divine light.

"This is the [Qingye Guangxin Pill], which is specially used to comprehend magic and experience the mysteries. It can help people gain enlightenment."

"If you ever feel that your sword energy is about to be formed, take this precious pill. It may be of some use."

Liu Xingfang looked at the green pill, his expression changed slightly. This foundation-building pill, which was specially designed to help people comprehend enlightenment, was so precious. He only said:

"Master, Xing Fang is afraid."

"Take it."

Liu Qiuci's tone was calm, but only then did he faintly reveal the majesty of a foundation-building cultivator, making it impossible for Liu Xingfang to refuse, so he had to accept it.

"If you can cultivate sword energy, it will be worthy of the elixir I found for you."

His voice was low, but it contained a certain expectation. He looked at Liu Xingfang and continued:
"You are not young anymore, have you ever thought about starting a family?"

Liu Xingfang never expected that the Patriarch would ask about this matter, and was a little embarrassed to speak. However, Liu Qiuci looked serious and said in a low voice:

"Having children early is the only thing your family asks of you, so don't let them down."

Liu Qiuci's words were filled with worry, and his expression was serious. He patted Liu Xingfang's shoulder and said in a deep voice:

"The clan lets you go out to practice cultivation, and we don't expect anything in return. We only hope that you will pass on your bloodline to others, which can be considered as a way out. Do you understand?"

Liu Xingfang took a deep breath and said softly:
"Xingfang understands."

"Well, you are a smart person. You can make many decisions on your own in the future. Whether you listen to what I say today or not is entirely up to you."

After finishing his words, Liu Qiuci looked at Liu Baiyuan and said in a deep voice:

"Take Xingfang to see his parents and relatives."

Liu Baiyuan accepted the order, and Liu Xingfang respectfully excused himself, following his brother out. "What good would such an action do? Qingwei is so close to Yuanshang, how could he remain unscathed?"

Qing Yun lowered his head and whispered softly:
"Yuliu is much wider, you can even move the Liu family there."

Liu Qiuci just sipped the tea and didn't say anything.
-
Du Wangcheng, Meizhai.

With the influx of casual cultivators, this place became even more lively, and cultivators from fetal breathing to Qi refining all came here to have fun.

There was a greasy smell of cosmetics in the building, and the sound of piano was mixed with some lewd music. A pretty woman in palace dress was standing next to the pavilion. She was the owner of Mei Zhai, Mei Niang. At this moment, her eyes were filled with anger as she glanced at the guests below.

Many girls behind me were crying, talking about how many underwear and rare jewelry they had lost recently, and they didn't know which thief had stolen them.

Mei Niang had a bad look on her face. Her Qi Refining Level 7 was considered a good level, and she was also related to the Chen family. No one had dared to cause trouble in Mei Zhai.

"He is a man of firm resolve, he only robs money, not women."

Mei Niang was so angry that her teeth were itching. This man had stolen a lot of her things, including clothes, jewelry, and even underwear and socks. A whole month had passed, and she still couldn't catch him.

"He even stole my clothes and jewelry. What a thief!"

Yesterday she went to the night to regulate her breathing and meditate. When she opened her eyes again, her high-grade Qi-refining robe was gone, and the jade hairpin on her head also disappeared. This thief was becoming more and more rampant.

Mei Niang is a cultivator of the seventh level of Qi Refining. To be able to steal things from her without anyone noticing, she must be at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.

As for the foundation-building cultivator? How could there be a foundation-building cultivator who acted like this? Mei Niang didn't even think about it. The things she lost were not valuable. If there really was a foundation-building cultivator, once he stood on the plain, all the families would rush to recruit him, and some would send him spiritual objects.

"Don't let me catch you, or I'll have you castrated and have your hands and feet chopped off."

Her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent as she concentrated on sensing the location of her jade hairpin. Her jade hairpin was no ordinary object; it had been refined with magical powers, and the other party could not hide it.

Mei Niang has already discussed with the steward Du Wangcheng and asked for some good fighters to gather outside Mei Zhai. Even the Chen family priest who was guarding Du Wangcheng took action. This man had broken through to the foundation building stage a few days ago and was extremely powerful.

A vague aura suddenly came from the guests below. Mei Niang looked over immediately and saw an old cultivator with white hair and beard. He was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. His aura was astonishing, and the scent of the jade hairpin could be faintly felt from him.

"What a shameless old fellow."

Mei Niang was about to give an order and tell the people outside to take action when the jade hairpin's aura suddenly changed again and appeared on a man who was flirting with a woman. This man was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

'? '

Yuzhi's aura changed again and continued to shift, making Mei Niang feel a little dizzy.

Finally, the breath stopped. Mei Niang looked carefully and saw a short young man with the seventh level of Qi Refining. He was wearing a bright yellow robe and was quietly listening to the music below.

It was Duan Pingdu, a disciple of the Immortal and a direct descendant of the Duan family.

Mei Niang felt her mind was in a mess at this moment, and she was suspicious, but the scent of the jade hairpin suddenly disappeared.

The girls behind her screamed in surprise. Mei Niang turned around and saw that everyone was looking at her bun. She reached out and touched it, and found the jade hairpin that had been stolen was on it.

Suddenly, a wind blew up in the pavilion, and countless clothes flew in the wind. They were the ones lost this month. Mei Niang's face darkened, and the girls behind her hurried forward to retrieve them. The scene was a mess.

Duan Pingdu sighed when he saw that the music was no longer playing, and looked outside the door with a hint of a smile on his face.

An extremely obscure breeze blew out from under everyone's feet, and then left Meizhai and disappeared.

On the top of Duwang City, a man wearing colorful armor, who was a worshipper of the Chen family, stood up. He was surrounded by radiant light and exuded the power of immortality.

The Chen family brought elixirs to allow the priest to break through in order to protect the mortals and territories under their rule, but their own main clan members did not show up.

With just a few moves, he created a foundation-building cultivator. All the casual cultivators who came here had heard of the Chen family's reputation and were well-behaved, never causing trouble. But today, this priest came out of seclusion, as if he was looking for something.

Brilliant rays of light rushed up and gradually enveloped the entire city. The priest had a cold expression. There were more than just Mei Zhai's family causing trouble in Duwang City, and this time he had to capture the thief.

Suddenly, faint winds arose, and all kinds of spiritual objects and spiritual stones appeared from the sky. These were the objects that had been lost in the city in recent days. The wandering cultivators below immediately became chaotic and started scrambling for them.

The worshipper in colorful armor did not move. The rosy glow turned into a high wall, covering the surroundings and gradually shrinking, trying to find the thief.

After a while, he had used his immortal power to circle around, but found nothing. Feeling a little depressed, he slowly descended and landed on the top of the city wall.

An old cultivator, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, hurried forward, his brows and eyes were filled with worry. He looked over and said,
"Master Jiang Chi, have you found the thief?"

Jiang Chi looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't see any trace, so he just said:

"City Lord Changyun, that thief's methods are quite strange. I can't detect his presence."

"I'll go check out the formation in the city to see if there are any traces left."

Jiang Chi turned around and didn't want to say more.

Chen Changyun had a worried look on his face. He was born in a small branch of the Chen family. Now that the main branch had closed the mountain, they, the side branches, had gained power. Although they held a lot of power, they were also more cautious.

"Although the stolen spiritual objects and spiritual stones have almost all been recovered, what did this thief want? Why didn't he take them away?"

He was thinking and looked up, only to see that there seemed to be something hanging behind the colorful armor that Jiang Chi was offering.

"Mr. Jiang!"

Chen Changyuan suddenly shouted, causing Jiang Chi to stop and look back.

"behind you"

Chen Changyun looked a little embarrassed and pointed over there.

Jiang Chi touched it and found something like silk hanging on the back of his armor, but he didn't notice it.

When he pulled it casually, his face immediately turned dark. It was a woman's undergarment hanging behind him. He had been carrying this thing all the way and riding the wind in the sky.

"Thief!"

Jiang Chi's murderous intent towards this man reached its peak. With a flash of light, he rushed out of the city in an instant, leaving Chen Changyun here, at a loss.
