How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Then was then, and the present is now."

Qing Yiyi's face was solemn: "I'll say it again, it's not enough for just your parents to work hard. You have to work hard too, and you can't always think about being lazy."

Hang in there, Xiaoyang. Once you reach the Qi Refining stage, then you'll be able to…

"So you can rest now!"

Hei Yang instantly revived, raised his head, his spiritual energy surging and water vapor filling the air: "Look, I've already reached the Qi Refining stage!"

"This this……"

Qing Yiyi was startled, then looked at her son with a mixture of surprise and delight: "Really? You're not lying to Mom, are you?"

"Replace it if it's fake!"

Hei Yang said smugly, "So, does that mean I can finally rest now that I've reached the Qi Refining stage?"

"This child is talking nonsense again!"

"what?"

Hei Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Qing Yiyi smiled brightly: "My son has such great talent, how can we waste it?"

Just like I said, once you reach the Qi Refining stage, you can proceed with the next stage of your cultivation plan!

"Next step……"

A bunch of question marks slowly appeared above Hei Yang's head: "Cultivation plan?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 43 Dreams are always beautiful, but reality...

"Um, let's not..."

Hei Yang chuckled awkwardly, "Well, although Mom and Dad have gone all out and frantically helped me earn cultivation resources."

However, the herbs that people use during the Qi Refining stage are all spiritual herbs. They are purchased and exchanged using high-grade goods such as spirit stones. Moreover, in our small place, they are priceless and simply cannot be bought or afforded.

Well, I didn't mean anything by it. I just felt sorry for my parents. They work so hard, getting up early and working late. But sometimes in life, you have to give yourself a break, right?

Okay, please let my son off the hook too, please!

"Ha, don't worry about Xiao Yang."

Qing Yiyi smiled slightly: "We've prepared everything for you!"

"?"

A question mark appeared above Hei Yang's head. His lips parted slightly, and his raised fingers trembled uncontrollably. He felt a dry, burning sensation in his throat: "This...this was also part of your plan?"

"Ah, of course."

Qing Yiyi smiled and said, "As parents, we definitely have to think about our children's future!"

"My future..."

Black Sun's lips trembled: "A complete darkness..."

No, stay calm. What if Mom and Dad's method is unreliable? If so, we can argue with them logically and there should still be a glimmer of hope!

"Uh, that..."

Hei Yang looked expectant: "What is your method?"

Hmm... isn't this a very unreliable and risky approach that requires taking a gamble?

"Oh dear, it's alright, Mom and Dad, you don't need to push yourself too hard. It's not a big deal that I can't cultivate immortality. I think the Qi Refining stage is enough for me!"

After a pause, Hei Yang emphasized again, "Yes, I'm serious. If there's really no other way, there's no need to force a plan!"

"Ha, Xiaoyang, it's enough that you have the heart to think about your parents."

Hei Muguang walked out of the house with a big smile, waving a letter in his hand: "Guess what this is?"

"!"

The black sun's pupils trembled; was it another message?!

[Hei Yang: Hey, Hong Li, you're breaking your promise, aren't you?!]

[Hongli: Huh?]

[Hongli: What nonsense are you talking about? How am I breaking my promise?]

[Heiyang: Did you send my parents another dangerous letter?!]

[Hongli: Huh? No.]

[Black Sun: Really?]

[Hongli: You're crazy. Alright, I'm registering right now, I don't have time to argue with you.]

"Could it really not be her?"

Hei Yang looked puzzled: "Could this be my death notice?"

"This child never utters a single auspicious word!"

Qing Yiyi snorted and patted Hei Yang's back: "That one was a letter your third uncle brought back from the capital. It was sent by a relative of the Hei family over there."

"The Black Family of the Royal Capital?!"

Hei Yang's pupils contracted, a mixture of unease and a sliver of hope filling his heart. He stiffly took the letter from his father's hand.

[Mu Guang, and Yi Yi, I have received the letter that Mu Feng brought.]

I've heard about Xiao Yang's situation. It's a real pity he wasn't selected by the Five Elements Sect, considering that the child's talent isn't bad.

Whether it's you in our hometown or us in the capital, if we have the opportunity, we will definitely send our disciples to the Five Elements Immortal Sect. That is the right path. I think Xiao Yang should also strive to move towards the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Here's what we'll do: if possible, have someone bring Xiao Yang over. We've been operating here for so many years, and through the tireless efforts of our clansmen in the Immortal Sect, we've finally secured an opportunity for our clan. The Immortal Sect's leader has granted permission to bestow upon us the Qi Refining Method!

Although it can only be spread within the clan, Xiao Yang is a member of our Hei family.

Of course, what the immortal master bestowed was not the complete Five Elements Qi Refining Method, but there was still a separate water method!

I think with Xiao Yang's talent, he can first lay a foundation through water magic. Plus, he's young and has plenty of energy, so who knows, he might be able to break through to the Qi Refining stage!

As elders, we'll help if we can, letting the children come over for a good meal to nourish their bodies—that's more effective than anything else!

"See it!"

Hei Muguang smiled and said, "This is a letter from your second grandfather in the capital. The Hei family in the capital should be able to help you advance further."

"Ugh... this kind of backstabbing is just too outrageous..."

Hei Yang's lips twitched, and he subconsciously shook his head: "Well, that's not a good idea. As the saying goes, even a rich man in the deep mountains has distant relatives, but a poor man in the bustling city has no one to ask about him."

We're poor relatives living deep in the mountains; it would be embarrassing for us to ask them for help, it would seem shameless!

Hey, Second Grandfather, do you have to be so eager? The relationship between our two families has almost faded away, and then you suddenly appear and stab me in the back. What grudge do you have?

"This guy just needs to be thick-skinned!"

Hei Muguang retorted instantly, "Thick skin means you'll get rich, thin skin means you'll starve. We voluntarily stayed to look after our hometown, so they owe us, not us..."

"Alright, alright, stop instilling in the child the dirty ideas of deceit and treachery you learned in officialdom."

Qing Yiyi rolled her eyes at Hei Muguang, tilted her head back, pinched her handsome young man's cheeks with both hands, and smiled slightly: "As for this, Xiaoyang, you don't need to worry. Muguang, show Xiaoyang the second letter."

"There's a second knife?!"

Hei Yang's head was buzzing.

Mu Guang, Yi Yi, your letters this time really startled me!

That was a gift from the Medicine King Sect, which was on par with the Five Elements Immortal Sect. Although the Qi Refining Method could not be passed on to outsiders, it was a great opportunity for Xiao Yang!

If Xiao Yang can reach the Qi Refining stage, he can directly obtain the position of elder in our family!

It should be noted that even the current patriarch is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and has been unable to break through for a long time due to the lack of subsequent cultivation methods.

I heard that the Hong family has produced a prodigy named Hong Ling, who is now an inner disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect at the Foundation Establishment stage!

I reckon that in a few more years, Hongling will be the new head of the Hong family.

Our young children aren't very promising; even if we send them to a sect of immortals, the best they can achieve is only the eighth level of Qi Refining.

However, there is one exception: the little dragon of the Mu Yun family. He is young but already has the potential to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, which makes us, the clansmen of the capital, feel extremely ashamed when we hear about it!

Perhaps, when Xiaolong grows up a few years, we can recognize him as the head of the family. In the end, it is you children who stayed in the old town who have produced so many talented people. Could it be that Five Colors City has good feng shui?

Sigh, since your father passed away, our two families haven't had much contact for several years. That's not good. Family ties need to be maintained through frequent interaction. Please come visit us more often when you have time.

"Did you see that?"

Qing Yiyi laughed and said, "You can become an elder right now. Don't underestimate yourself. My son is incredibly powerful. Don't think that just because those kids grew up in the capital they're so great. They'll all have to call you 'brother' when they see a Qi Refining expert like you!"

Oh, no, it's Elder Yang!

They invited you, so don't worry about being bullied!

"Uh……"
