Mysterious mirror hanging high

Jing Yu naturally wanted to be able to observe the alchemy master Song Jianxu personally making elixirs.

Song Jianxu also wanted to show off his alchemy skills in front of Jing Yu. Without saying anything, he took out dozens of auxiliary medicines and put them into the alchemy furnace. During this time, he changed several alchemy techniques, which made Jing Yu dazzled.

Finally, he slapped the alchemy furnace and five pills were produced, all of which were in perfect condition, which shows Song Jianxu's alchemy skills.

Song Jianxu put the five healing elixirs into the jade bottle, held them in his hand, and said thoughtfully:

"Friend Ye, after I take this healing elixir, my injuries will be fully healed in about a month. If you have nowhere to stay by then, why not come to Xingluo Island and stay for a few days? I'll then show my hospitality as a good host."

Jing Yu just needed a dojo to hone his skills. The Song family was a prominent Jindan family in the Red Dust Sea, so they must have many secret spiritual resources needed for Dan formation. He observed Song Jianxu and Song Jinghong and knew that the Song family was also upright. He had no objection and said directly without any polite words, "I really need a place to stay. I am so sorry to bother you."

Song Jianxu nodded happily and said, "Your identity is secret, and your fake identity as a direct descendant of the Ye family can't be hidden from the real discerning people. Why not pretend to be the son-in-law recruited by my Song family..."

Even though Jing Yu was already a seasoned man, he almost lost his composure after hearing this, thinking:

"Master Song's abacus beads are about to fall on my face!"

"Grandfather!" Song Jinghong said helplessly, "Why do you have to make things so difficult for Brother Ye?"

"It's just a title. Young Master Ye is a person with a strong background. When he forms a golden elixir, how can he stay on Xingluo Island for long?"

Song Jianxu laughed and said, "I know that the shallow waters of the Song family cannot hold a true dragon like Ye Xiaoyou. It is nothing more than a good relationship."

"With Jinghong's appearance, even a good fate has turned into a bad fate." Song Jinghong sighed, "Isn't it that Ping has tarnished Brother Ye's reputation for nothing?"

Jing Yu quickly said, "As a casual cultivator like me, how can I have a good reputation? I'm actually worried that this arrangement will damage Fairy Song's reputation."

"Haha, you guys continue chatting. I'll go in and heal my wounds first." Song Jianxu winked at Song Jinghong, went into another cave alone, closed the entrance, and began to heal his wounds in seclusion. For a moment, only Jing Yu and Song Jinghong were left in the entire cave, staring at each other.

"Please forgive me, Brother Ye. My ancestor's death is approaching, and he has only two things to worry about. One is that he hopes the Song family can produce another Jindan Zhenren with the Song surname before his death; the second is Jinghong's marriage." Song Jinghong whispered.

Jing Yu hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked:

"Jinghong, please forgive me for being so rude. Logically speaking, the Song family of Xingluo Island can be considered a genuine Jindan family. They even have a Jindan late stage great master like Master Song in charge. Even if your appearance is slightly inferior to that of other female cultivators from noble families, it shouldn't be so difficult for you to find a good husband, right?"

Song Jinghong was silent for a long time after hearing this, and gently lifted up her white mask that could block divine detection, exposing her face in front of Jing Yu.

"hiss--"

Even though Jing Yu had prepared himself mentally, the huge impact still made him gasp. He only needed to take a look at Song Jinghong's true appearance, and even though he had the destiny of [longevity], he felt a little bit of inner demons for a moment.

He couldn't even find words to describe what kind of face it was. In other words, it was almost an ugliness that could not be described in words.

If Song Jinghong had covered up her appearance before, which only made Jing Yu have some fantasies about her ugliness, then the truth after the mystery was revealed now far exceeded all of Jing Yu's previous unfounded fantasies!

But he was a decent person after all. Jing Yu only reacted a little violently at first, but then he adjusted his attitude, tried to calm himself down, and tried not to show too much abnormality so as not to embarrass Song Jinghong.

Song Jinghong looked at Jing Yu's changing expression with a hint of admiration, then slowly put the mask back on and exclaimed in admiration:

"Brother Ye is indeed a man of noble character. He only had such a bland and ordinary reaction. In terms of cultivation and self-cultivation alone, Brother Ye can be ranked among the top five people Jinghong has ever met in his life!"

The Song family's direct descendant female cultivator said calmly, "If I were just plain ugly, there would always be male cultivators willing to marry into my family who are dedicated to their own path. But with my appearance, it's extremely difficult. Even if there is a male cultivator who dares to marry into my family, I'd be worried that he might be a spy sent by a hostile family to the Song family. So, I simply don't consider the marriage."

"But after all, they are a Jindan family. They can't find a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the same family, let alone a Qi Condensation cultivator?" Jing Yu couldn't help but say, "There must be some way."

Song Jinghong said slowly, "If the aristocratic family were to use their harsh methods and force someone to borrow a child, it wouldn't be difficult. But how is this different from the devil's way? Although my Song family was born in the Red Dust Sea, where there aren't many rules and regulations for righteousness, we are still a respectable family that upholds integrity and would never do such a heinous act as forcibly abducting a son-in-law."

After hearing this, Jing Yu was filled with respect for the woman in front of him. He straightened his expression and said seriously:

"The Song family is indeed one of the most righteous families in the Red Dust Sea, and their family traditions are very strict."

"However, Fellow Daoist Song, there is no need to worry. After all, there is no being in this world that does not judge people by appearance. But if you have profound cultivation and a high realm, even if someone truly harbors ill will towards you because of your appearance, they may not dare to show it."

Song Jinghong smiled and said, "Brother Ye, what you said hits the nail on the head. Before I was six years old, my spiritual roots were not obvious. Although I was a direct descendant of my family, even ordinary servants avoided me and didn't want to stay with me."

"After I discovered my spiritual roots and channeled Qi into my body to become a cultivator, those ordinary clan servants became respectful to me. On the contrary, the elders in the Qi training stage disliked me, thinking that I was ugly and couldn't marry into the family to gain benefits."

"Later, I devoted myself to cultivation, and my natural talent gradually emerged. I finally transcended the mortal world and became an immortal, building a foundation for immortality. I had planned to shed this appearance when I cleansed my mortal body, but my foundation was too poor, and even a slight adjustment couldn't save it."

"From now on, only the Foundation Establishment cultivators in my family will dare to be dissatisfied with me. The cultivators below the Foundation Establishment level will never dare to raise their heads in front of me again."

"But I know in my heart that people only respect me based on my level of cultivation. But just based on this, it is also a rare wish that Jinghong has achieved through hard practice!"
