Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 48 Chen Yunyi's Abnormality
Although Chen Qian's cultivation level is not high, he has become a hot topic in Fenglin Valley recently.

Not only many young maids, but also many young women and wives in the valley were very curious about him.

"Please sit down. Today is a family banquet, and the main purpose is to celebrate Su Jin's happiness. There's no need to stand on ceremony."

Chen Qian smiled and waved his hand, then sat down between Feng Momo and Chen Yunxi.

Upon hearing this, Su Jin's eyes shone even brighter as she gazed intently at her young master.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Holding a deer leg bone, Feng Momo mumbled indistinctly as she chewed on it, "Brother Qian, are there any particularly powerful flying swords in the secret vault? I heard..."

Chen Qian coughed lightly, picked up a slice of lotus root and put it into her bowl: "Of course I have some. I prepared it for you a long time ago. I'll give it to you when the time is right."

Upon hearing this, Feng Momo's big eyes sparkled, and she said excitedly, "There's no need to prepare anything special for me. I just want to see what it's like."

Chen Yunyi sat alone at the other end of the table, holding a cup in her delicate hand, sipping her drink slowly.

She has never liked maids serving her personally. Even though Su Jin is nominally her maid, she has always served Yun Xi since childhood.

At this moment, although Su Jin occasionally glanced at the young lady to see if she needed more tea or food, she tried not to disturb her unless necessary. This was a tacit understanding that had been cultivated over the years.

"Sister, try this." Chen Yunxi pushed a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings over. "Uncle Cai made them with cold pond shrimp from the Zhao family in Yunding River."

Chen Yunyi nodded slightly, picked up a piece and took a bite. The icy spiritual energy melted between her lips and teeth, making her brows relax a little.

Due to her constitution, she clearly prefers foods with a cold or icy nature.

Chef Cai then brought out a jar of "Hundred Fruit Fragrance". Although this wine is not considered high-grade, it is still a low-grade spirit wine. The moment the mud seal was broken, the mellow aroma of the wine mixed with the fruit fragrance spread out.

Chen Qian took the wine pot, poured half a cup for Chen Yunyi, and then poured a full cup for Feng Momo. As a result, the girl gulped it down, choked, and her eyes filled with tears, which made everyone laugh.

"Slow down."

Chen Yunyi lightly tapped her fingertips, forming a hand seal, and a wisp of icy spiritual energy quietly flowed into Feng Momo's meridians to help her dispel the effects of the alcohol.

"Thank you so much, Sister Yunyi!" Feng Momo stuck out her tongue and thanked her, earning a helpless look in return.

As the moonlight deepened, Chen Qian took out two gifts.

"Su Jin."

He first handed over the moon-white robe, saying, "Now that you've advanced to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, you should have a decent robe to protect you."

Su Jin accepted the robe with a flustered expression. The robe felt warm to the touch and had an excellent feel. The cuffs, collar, and hem were decorated with cloud and water patterns, making it beautiful and elegant.

"and this."

Chen Qian flicked out the Flying Immortal Hairpin again, the jade butterfly at the tip gleaming in the moonlight. "This is also a mid-grade magic weapon. It can be used to tie up hair in normal times and as a weapon in wartime, killing two birds with one stone."

Su Jin's eyes reddened slightly as she bowed deeply, clutching the gift: "Thank you for your generous gift, young master!"

Chen Qian quickly reached out to support the pretty maid and helped her wipe her eyes: "You belong to the young master, giving you things doesn't mean I'll use them myself, does it?"

Su Jin was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond. She was not good with words, and when teased by the young master, she could only remain silent.

"Also, you are now the second strongest in the family after me. You can start practicing the Art of Controlling Objects that I gave you the other day. You need to master it as soon as possible, as it is the most important technique for improving combat power."

"When I'm not around, you'll have to protect your young lady and Madam Mo!"

"Yes, young master, I will cultivate diligently and protect the two ladies."

She was assigned to be Chen Yunyi's maid when she was young, and from then on, her personal relationship was dependent on Chen Yunyi. No matter what level she reached in cultivation, her family would not directly assign her any tasks.

This also led to her being different from other family members; she did not receive any family benefits each month, and everything she had depended on the gifts from her master.

After a pleasant gathering of guests and hosts, the family banquet came to an end. Mr. and Mrs. Cai packed up their belongings and took their leave.

Su Jin's girlfriends also took their leave. Chen Yunyi wanted to go home to the main house, so Chen Qian went out to see her off.

In early autumn, the night was slightly cool, and the moonlight was just right.

Fenglin Valley at night is even more breathtaking, shedding the hustle and bustle of the day and returning to the tranquility of a celestial abode.

The two walked silently, at a slow pace, and neither spoke for a while.

"Sister Yunyi, how long will you be staying at home this time?"

Chen Qian broke the silence between the two by speaking first.

If he doesn't speak up, the two of them will probably just walk silently to the end.

"I'll probably stay here for a while this time, trying to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining at home before returning to Qingye Mountain."

Under the moonlight, Chen Yunyi even more closely resembled the image of the fairy of Yaochi in Chen Qian's mind: light clouds veiled the moon, flowing wind swirled snow, serene as a white lotus reflected in water, and walking like the moon reflected in a cold pool.

"With Sister Yunyi's talent, breaking through to the next realm should be a piece of cake."

"Hmm." The beautiful older sister smoothed her hair that had fallen in front of her eyes, her expression slightly unnatural.

From a young age, due to her temperament, she did not know how to act coquettishly or beg for affection in front of her parents.

When he was ten years old, his mother passed away, and his emotions became increasingly indifferent.

After formally beginning her cultivation, she, who possessed a superior ice-type spiritual root, unexpectedly found herself in harmony with the ancient cultivation technique "Xuanming Ice Soul Scripture" obtained by the ancestor Chen Tuyuan from the cave of the Nascent Soul True Monarch. From then on, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and breaking through realms became as easy as splitting bamboo with an axe.

This was the result of her intentionally controlling the progress of her cultivation.

She discovered that as her cultivation level deepened, her emotions were frozen, and many things could not even cause her to feel emotionally affected.

Now, apart from being close to her younger sister who has been cared for like an older sister and mother since childhood, she is even extremely indifferent and distant towards her father.

Several months ago, while returning home with her younger sister, she ran into Chen Qian by the lake. This was the first time the two had met in many years.

She wasn't exactly a stranger to the collateral relatives of the family who had been close to her sister since childhood, but as long as they were confirmed to be harmless to her sister, she stopped caring about them.

As for the other person's handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, these were completely irrelevant to her.

But to my surprise, after we started interacting, I not only felt no aversion to Chen Qian, but I also had a vague feeling that he seemed to have some inexplicable attraction to me.

Therefore, when Chen Qian came to visit her home, she would wait for him at the door.
I returned home today, and my sister invited me to visit, which I gladly accepted.

They stayed until the end of the family dinner, even though the dinner was for Su Jin.

Others may not know, but she herself understands that this style of doing things is completely different from her usual style.

This made her feel flustered and at a loss, wondering what was wrong with her.
While suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Chen Yunyi slowly replied to Chen Qian:
"The path of cultivation requires understanding the will of Heaven above and responding to one's own body below; it is not about being as fast as possible."

"So this time, I plan to refine my cultivation level as much as possible and don't want to break through too quickly."

Although Chen Yunyi's tone was flat and cool, it was clearly different from her usual concise style.

These words were not what they truly meant, but Chen Qian simply couldn't tell.

Chen Yunyi's cultivation method is compatible, his aptitude is excellent, his foundation is extremely solid, and his realm has been honed to an extraordinary level.

However, she knew that as her cultivation progressed further, her emotions would become increasingly indifferent.

She couldn't imagine whether she would be completely indifferent to her sister's affairs if she advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Will she remain unmoved by the future life-or-death situation of her family?
This is definitely not what she wants.

But these changes in her life seem to foreshadow that this outcome will be the end of her life.

Should we give up cultivating the Profound Nether Ice Soul Scripture?
