He's a minor cannon fodder character who transmigrates into a novel and cultivates immortality,

Wang Mang turned around and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

"We'll be there soon; this is already the territory of the Crimson Cloud Sect."

Xiao Xuan shook his head.

He pointed to his stomach.

Wang Mang asked somewhat nervously, "Is your stomach upset?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head, thought for a moment, gestured with his hands as if eating, and then pointed to his stomach again.

Wang Mang suddenly realized and asked, "Hungry?"

Xiao Xuan nodded. Wang Mang pulled Xiao Xuan to the stone tablet of the Crimson Cloud Sect and instructed him, "Wait for me here. I'll go pick some fruit for you and be back soon."

Xiao Xuan nodded again.

Wang Mang turned around and used his spiritual power to fly quickly into the forest.

Not long after, they picked more than ten white cotton spirit fruits and came back.

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly at Wang Mang, took the fruit he offered, and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

After eating more than ten fruits, the feeling of hunger in my stomach finally subsided a little.

Seeing this, Wang Mang felt even more guilty towards the boy.

Xiao Xuan nodded to Wang Mang, indicating that the other party could continue their journey.

Wang Mang glanced at the seemingly endless ladder to heaven, then at Xiao Xuan, whose white hair and slender figure stood out.

He stepped forward and squatted down, saying, "Let me carry you up."

Xiao Xuan paused for a moment, then climbed onto Wang Mang's back.

Having traveled such a long distance, and now lacking cultivation, his mortal body was indeed finding it difficult to keep up.

Normally, with his physique, it would be easy for him to draw qi into his body.

However, he decided to resolve the engagement issue first, and then find a quiet place to cultivate.

After Wang Mang and the others lay down, they immediately channeled their spiritual energy and flew towards the mountaintop.

The Crimson Cloud Sect has a strict hierarchical system.

Only the sect leader and elders can use flying artifacts to directly enter the sect.

Other cultivators, even the sect leader's personal disciples, had to climb the mountain on their own.

Of course, using spiritual energy to climb mountains is no problem.

Song Yan said with a serious expression, "Zhixi, if you want to annul the engagement, why didn't you tell your father? How could you encourage your junior brother Wang Mang to go?"

"He's a bit dim-witted, you know that."

"What if we make an enemy of Pavilion Master Xiao of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"

Song Zhixi said somewhat dismissively, "Father, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion only has twenty or thirty disciples. Their cultivation talent is getting worse with each generation. Now, it's just a second-rate, bottom-tier sect."

"Our Crimson Cloud Sect, the number one sect on the Cloud Sky Continent, would we be afraid of them?"

"Besides, how could Xiao Xuan, a good-for-nothing with no spiritual root and no talent for cultivation, be worthy of my daughter?"

Song Yan: "......"

Song Yan looked at the beautiful and dashing Song Zhixi and somewhat agreed with her words.

However, there was still some concern that Song Zhixi would bear the consequences of disobeying her ancestors and breaking her vows.

For thousands of years, the Crimson Cloud Sect has maintained a marriage alliance with the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

At that time, the Crimson Cloud Sect was far less prestigious than the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Over the generations, the Crimson Cloud Sect had also received many benefits from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

His junior sister married Xiao Ce, the head of the Tianji Pavilion.

Thousands of years ago, the sect leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect and the pavilion master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion became friends and agreed to form a marriage alliance ten generations later.

By the time of Song Zhixi and Xiao Xuan, it was exactly the tenth generation.

Even after the decline of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the Crimson Cloud Sect has always adhered to the agreement between its ancestor and the ancestor of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, fulfilling the marriage contract.

In the tenth generation, when Song Zhixi was being matched with a marriage partner, Xiao Ce, the head of the Tianji Pavilion, calculated that the match would be his third son, Xiao Xuan.

Neither of them initially thought anything of it.

The problem was that when Xiao Xuan was five years old, the aptitude test showed that he did not have any spiritual roots.
