After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

"Senior brother, do you think something's wrong here? I seem to remember there was a cave in this area when we entered the secret realm last time, but I can't quite remember the exact location."

"What? Then hurry up and find it! The time for the secret realm to close is getting closer and closer. Even if I can't get the Heavenly Origin Fruit today, I have to see who picked it."

As the two combined ancestors drew closer to their home, the whole family broke out in a cold sweat with tension.

Just as the two stood in front of the array plate and discovered it, they heard a loud rumble. The secret realm was closing, and the people inside were being thrown out.

Fearing discovery by those outside the cave, the family left even the outermost illusion array inside the secret realm before being teleported out.

Although they lost a set of illusion arrays worth tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, the fact that the whole family was able to get out safely and obtained so many good things made it all worthwhile.

After leaving the secret realm, Xu Qingman and her family returned to Ning'an City with the Yue clan.

After staying in Ning'an City for three days, Yu Jinchen waited for the teleportation array to open. Before leaving, he went to the Yue Clan to find Yue Yuanche and gave him two Heavenly Origin Fruits.

Although he would be excited even if he were given one of Yue Yuanche's tokens, his family had entered the secret realm only because of someone else's token. Cultivators believe in cause and effect, so giving away one more would make him feel better.

Of course, the couple didn't just give them away like that; the Yue family was a large and powerful clan. Aside from Yue Cheyuan, they didn't know whether the others were human or ghosts.

Therefore, Yu Jinchen also proposed that Yue Cheyuan guarantee that the Tianyuan Fruit would not be available for at least five years, and that he would not reveal that it came from their family.

Yue Cheyuan was easy to talk to and immediately made a Heavenly Oath, promising to do as Yu Jinchen asked.

Anyway, his ancestor still has over a hundred years of lifespan left, so he's not in a hurry. Besides, who knows, his ancestor's cultivation might reach the Void Realm within a hundred years?

Therefore, these two Heavenly Origin Fruits may be unnecessary. As for the ancestor's advancement after reaching the Void Realm, relying on consuming Heavenly Origin Fruits to further increase his cultivation, he felt that there was no need for that anymore.

The patriarch of the Yue family did not have outstanding spiritual roots, and his cultivation level became increasingly difficult to advance.

His ancestor spent over five hundred years progressing from the initial to the later stages of the Body Integration Realm, and remained at the later stage for over three hundred years. It was precisely because of this that he was nearly exhausting the lifespan remaining from each of his previous cultivation breakthroughs.

Rare and precious materials like the Heavenly Origin Fruit, no matter who has them, will only be used on those whose cultivation is about to break through and whose lifespan is not long.

No one knows what Yue Cheyuan is thinking. All that can be said is that he is a qualified family heir because he has such thoughts.

After more than a year, Xu Qingman's family finally decided to settle down temporarily in a city called Gufeng City.

As for why it was Lone Wind City and not somewhere else, it's simply because there are no sects near Lone Wind City, so there are fewer cultivators coming and going, making it very peaceful and tranquil.

Strangely, Lonely Wind City has no city lord. The entire city is owned by two major cultivation families, the Lei family and the Ling family, and most of the residents are children or relatives by marriage of these two families.

These are not the main reasons. The most important reason is that there is a mountain called Nanyu on the outskirts of Gufeng City, which is the dowry of the eldest daughter of the Lei family. The eldest daughter of the Lei family happens to marry the next head of the Ling family.

Because of its remote location and lack of distinctive features, Lonely Wind City has never been wealthy. More than fifty years ago, the two most outstanding children of the Lei and Ling families were married off.

In order to attract outsiders and earn more spirit stones, the two came up with the idea of ​​building a series of small courtyards on Nanyu Mountain and turning it into a huge inn.

Not only were numerous cultivators stationed around the mountain as guards, but high-level formations were also set up in each courtyard. In other words, as long as you rent a place in a courtyard, no matter who you are or what your cultivation level is, no one can disturb you.

It is said that at first, a group of disciples from a major sect, disbelieving in evil, came here seeking revenge and prepared to break in, but their dantian was shattered and they were driven out.

Later, when the group's sect came looking for them, they still slunk away. It was because of this incident that the cultivators of the Lingchuan Continent were shocked to discover that the Lei and Ling families, who had always been inconspicuous, actually had Tribulation Transcending Ancestors hidden inside.

As for whether there are any Mahayana ancestors with higher cultivation levels, no one knows, because the one who came to stand up for his disciples this time was a Transcending Tribulation cultivator.

Besides, even without Mahayana cultivators, few in the cultivation world would dare to disrespect them. After all, those who have reached the Void Transformation or Tribulation Transcending levels are already the pillars of their respective sects.

Unless absolutely necessary, they generally won't leave their sect to make enemies. It's not easy to cultivate to this level, why would they risk their lives for someone?

Moreover, the cultivators from the Lei and Ling families who have undergone tribulation are still young, only a little over five hundred years old, unlike most people of this cultivation level who are at least a thousand years old.

Therefore, although these two families do not have many disciples, no one in the entire cultivation world dares to look down on them.

However, renting a courtyard in Nanyu Mountain is really expensive. The smallest courtyard, which is just over 100 square meters, costs 15,000 high-grade spirit stones per month, and the minimum lease term is one year.

Therefore, cultivators without considerable wealth wouldn't even dare to dream of living in Nanyu Mountain.

Previously, Xu Qingman's family had always thought they were quite wealthy. Only after arriving here did they realize how naive they had been; they were barely there!

If they hadn't mined two spirit stone mines, their meager wealth would only have been enough to keep them here for a few years.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this house looks about the same as the one in Sifang City back home, but I didn't expect the rent to be so expensive."

The old lady, Chen Guiying, walked around the yard, clicking her tongue and shaking her head.

Xu Meifen nodded with a pained expression, "Yes, the housing prices in Sifang City are already expensive enough. I didn't expect that they would be so much cheaper compared to here."

"What do you know? What's valuable here isn't the house, but the security."

"Yes, yes, my father is right. Alright, now that everything is settled, we should all go into seclusion."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Qingman added, "However, Little Stone and Little Candy, you must remember that if your parents don't come out, you two are not allowed to form an infant before you turn eighteen, understand?"

Little Stone obediently promised, "I know, Mother. I will take good care of my little sister. Don't worry."

"Jinchen, Manman, you should go into seclusion. There are still the four of us here. No matter what, there has to be an adult at home. Don't worry, the four of us will take turns watching outside."

After Xu Jingheng finished speaking, Xu Maoye chimed in, "Yes, your grandmother and I don't have the energy for a long seclusion. We can only cultivate for ten days or so before we can't hold on. We two old folks are here to look after the children."

In fact, Xu Qingman and her husband were used to worrying. The little stone siblings were already fourteen years old, and even the shorter little candy was approaching 1.7 meters tall.

Not to mention Little Stone, who is already close to 1.8 meters tall. Moreover, the two of them have often traveled with their parents over the years, and their minds are already very mature. Even if they are about to form an infant, it will not have a big impact.
