Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Song Xuan is still very much looking forward to their future potential.

......

Back in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, Prime Minister Turtle was listening to reports from his subordinates.

After a while, the old prime minister carrying the tortoise shell said calmly, "So, this brother and sister are ascenders, and they brought a bunch of stowaways with them?"

"Yes, Prime Minister. Although there are restrictions and guards in the temple, the presence of the stowaways cannot be completely concealed.

We can clearly sense this change in aura through the treasures in the palace."

Prime Minister Turtle tapped the table lightly with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Got it, you can all step back and claim your reward!"

After the two left, Prime Minister Turtle stood up and paced back and forth in the study. At this moment, his heart was burning with excitement.

It is not an easy task to sneak up from the lower realm without experiencing heavenly tribulations. Even some powerful people in the upper realm are unwilling to do such a thankless task.

The treasure that could be smuggled in with a large group of people must be extremely valuable. In the eyes of Prime Minister Turtle, the brother and sister must have at least one acquired spiritual treasure in their hands.

Moreover, it has to be an acquired spiritual treasure of a high level!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide the ascension mechanism established by the Heavenly Court.

Prime Minister Turtle was somewhat tempted by the acquired spiritual treasure which was suspected to be of a high level.

As the Prime Minister of the Dragon Palace, he has no shortage of magical weapons, but spiritual treasures are relatively rare treasures. Even he, a prime minister in a high position, does not have many of them.

Song Xuan and his sister have magical treasures in their hands, and they don’t have any big backers in the prehistoric world, so naturally he will be concerned about them.

Even if he doesn't need it, it's better to give it to his relatives for protection than to let others take advantage of it!

But he could only do this quietly and not let Lord Dragon King know. Otherwise, even if he got the magic treasure, he would not be able to keep it.

After much thought, he felt that he still could not use the power of the Dragon Palace. Holding the communication talisman in his hand, he sent a message to his nephew who was far away in Uttarakuru.

Soon, a slightly impatient complaint came from the communication talisman.

"Uncle, they are just two immortals who have ascended to heaven. You can just send someone to take care of them. Is it necessary for me to come all the way here?

Do you know how long it takes to run from Uttarakuru to Jambudvīpa?

During this period, I have to pass through the territories of some big monsters and cross the vast ocean. Even if there are some places that can be reached by teleportation array, it will take more than ten years to get there.

I just don't understand, what kind of treasure is it that would be worth it for a great Golden Immortal demon like me to waste more than ten years on the journey?"

Prime Minister Turtle held the communication talisman and said four words calmly: "Postnatal Spiritual Treasure!"

In the communication talisman, the originally impatient voice suddenly became gentle.

"Haha, it's only been a dozen years, it just flew by, not worth mentioning!

Uncle, rest assured, I will do this perfectly, and no one will find fault with it. I will definitely not let our Lingbao suffer outside!"

Chapter 974: Whose good man turns into a mortal and brings his wife with him?

The next morning, all the spiritual practitioners, except Lian Xing, who had been busy all night, boarded Song Qian's flying magic weapon and headed for Lingxi Sect, three thousand miles away.

Song Xuan, sitting cross-legged in the land temple, began his second decline.

There was an endless stream of pilgrims in the yard. Yingning was doing her best to collect incense for her master, while Lianxing began to practice in seclusion in the room in the backyard.

Half a day later, Victoria Song returned and strengthened the restrictions around the land temple again. Then she flew up, sat cross-legged on the clouds, and began to meditate silently.

A year later, Song Xuan walked out of the room. At this moment, there was no trace of his aura left on his body. His originally young and handsome appearance now looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, with gray hair and a sense of old age.

The sound of him going out startled Song Qian. Song Luotian took a step forward and appeared in front of Song Xuan.

"The decline is at its strongest, brother, please don't run around, okay?"

Song Xuan waved his hand and smiled, "The calamity force and the power in my body are at a stalemate. From now on, I may have to be a mortal for a while. This is a great time to become a mortal and cultivate my mind."

Among the five stages of decline of celestial beings, the most difficult step is the final decline of the heart of Tao.

A large part of the purpose of the first four calamities of decline was actually to prepare for the final decline of the heart of Tao.

During the next period of time, Song Xuan planned to follow the path that Wang Lin had taken in the past and transform himself into a mortal to cultivate his mind.

Song Qian was silent for a moment. Although her brother and she were both on the path of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, she also knew that her situation was special and her cultivation experience was not suitable for her brother.

Her brother said he wanted to become a mortal to gain insights into life, and she couldn't stop him, so she nodded.

"In that case, brother, you can make the arrangements yourself, and I'll be around to protect your safety!"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Even though I'm just a mortal now, I'm not a weakling who can be bullied. Don't forget, I have a clone!"

The demonic clone of Lord Xuantian is still cultivating in the inner world. To be frank, as long as he doesn't encounter any existence in the Taiyi realm causing trouble, Song Xuan is confident that his safety will be fine.

At this moment, Song Xuan, who looked to be in his thirties, had a twilight complexion and was dressed in linen clothes. He walked to the door. Except for a few familiar people, no one could recognize him. He was the famous land god in Lingxi.

Song Xuan first lit a stick of incense in the incense burner with a smile, and then waved at Lian Xing.

"Come on, accompany your husband for a walk down the mountain!"

High in the sky, Victoria Song curled her lips speechlessly, "To become a mortal, he still needs to bring a woman with him. I haven't heard that when Wang Lin became a mortal, he brought his wife with him!"

...

Song Xuan had once made a brief observation of Lingxi County with the Ruyi Crystal. There were some Qigong practitioners in the city, but most of their cultivation was not very high, so he had not paid much attention to them.

At this moment, he and Lianxing were sitting in a carriage, slowly driving towards the county town, intending to live there for a while as mortals.

"Cough cough~"

Inside the carriage, Song Xuan coughed twice because the power in his body and the calamity were constantly fighting each other. Under the shock, he would cough from time to time, and sometimes even cough up blood.

"Brother-in-law!"

Lian Xing took out a handkerchief with some heartache, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with gentle eyes. As she wiped, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth in joy.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing. Lord Song, who has always been strong, is now sickly."

After wiping the corner of her mouth, Lian Xing stroked Song Xuan's face, which was obviously old, and said in a daze, "You obviously feel much older, but for some reason, I think you are more charming like this."

"shallow!"

Song Xuan chuckled, "If you are only obsessed with your husband's appearance, you may be disappointed.

In the next few years, I will continue to age, and by then, I will be just an old man on his deathbed. I’m afraid you’ll be disgusted by me!”

Lian Xing pursed her lips and smiled, "That would be perfect. It would be best if you could always look like an old man and remain in a mortal state. That way I can always be by your side, and no one will ever snatch you away from me!"

Song Xuan stroked her hair and said softly, "It's been hard for you these years!"

"No!" Lian Xing said obediently: "For me, thinking of you in my heart and waiting is also a kind of happiness.

I know that my husband wants to take me with him even after he becomes a mortal to compensate me for my persistence over the years. I am very happy that my husband has me in his heart.

……

As we approached Lingxi County, there were more and more pedestrians on the road.

The human race in the ancient times was nourished by the immortal spirit between heaven and earth all year round. Even if they did not have any methods of spiritual practice, most of them were physically strong, and it was rare to see sickly pedestrians on the road.

The carriage slowly drove into the city under the cover of night. As soon as it entered the city, even though Song Xuan was like a mortal now, he could still sense several auras in the city in an instant.

There were several auras, basically located in the most central area of ​​the city. The strongest one was not even at the Mahayana stage. Song Xuan just smiled slightly and didn't care.

When she walked out of the carriage, Lian Xing was dressed as a peasant woman. In order to match Song Xuan, she had a few more wrinkles on her face, and some silver threads appeared in her bunted hair. From a distance, she no longer looked like a girl, but a young woman with considerable charm.

The couple walked around the city hand in hand. In the early morning, they spent a few top-grade spirit stones to buy a small shop on a more remote street in the south city.

Lian Xing had a look of satisfaction on her face as she kept wiping the shop with a rag. From time to time, she turned her head to look at her husband who was standing there in a daze, with a look of happiness on her face.

Opening a husband-and-wife shop with my husband is a privilege that even my sister has never had.

Lian Xing thought a little greedily, if the two of them were really ordinary mortals, how great would that be if they could just run a shop quietly and grow old together?

My husband is ordinary and has no magical power. No one should miss him anymore, right?

After cleaning the shop, Lianxing became busier and busier. She began to decorate the shop according to her preferences.

The shop is not big. There is a shop in the front and a small courtyard in the back with two side rooms. According to my husband, the outer room is used for business, and the courtyard is where the two of them live on a daily basis.

Lian Xing first hung various ornaments on the walls of a room. Then, she searched for a long time in her storage ring but couldn't find a suitable bed. Then she took out the refining materials and made a bed on the spot.

The bed was not big, just enough for two people to lie down. Lian Xing was secretly happy because this way she could hug her husband tightly.

Moreover, such a small bed cannot accommodate a third person!

Humming a song, Lian Xing walked back and forth in the yard and the wing rooms like a happy little bee, taking out some furniture from the storage ring from time to time. In less than half a day, the originally empty courtyard was filled with the breath of human life and no longer had the previous desolate atmosphere.

Chapter 975: You are so weak, so weak!

Song Xuan had no idea what business the store should do.

Want to learn how to carve like Wang Lin?

Forget it, that's a skill unique to Victoria Song. As the eldest son of the Song family who can even go fishing empty-handed, he really has no talent in artistic leisure.

"Husband, how about we open a clinic?"

Lian Xing was eager to try, "Xiao Qian once told me the story of White Snake and Xu Xian. The two people in the story were running a clinic and a medicine shop. How about we do the same?

My husband, you can't use your magic power now, but your realm is there after all. Can't you tell what illness an ordinary person has at a glance? "

Song Xuan thought about it and said, "Okay, then let's open a clinic!"

After making the decision, the couple began to prepare to open a clinic. As cultivators, what they lacked the least were various herbs and pills. Needless to say, opening a clinic was really suitable for them.

After a busy day, when it was getting dark, Song Xuan yawned, hugged his young wife, and went to bed to rest.

In his mortal state, he would feel tired and sleepy, and of course, his mortal-specific desires were stronger than before.

Soon, a creaking and shaking sound began to be heard from the not-so-spacious bed.

After an incense stick of time, Song Xuan stopped and stared at the roof in a daze. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with his performance.

But Lian Xing was particularly satisfied, lying in the arms of Master Song, with an intoxicated look on her face, she said, "It's great, I used to be terrified when doing this with my husband.

It’s only now that I truly feel that this kind of thing can be so relaxing and so comfortable.”

Song Xuan blinked, "Are you lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Lian Xing said softly, "I'm not your sister. I just like your roughness. I really like this unhurried and just-right state."

Song Xuan immediately became excited, "Then let's do it again. I think I should be able to last longer this time."

But Lian Xing shook her head. She touched Song Xuan's middle-aged face, as if coaxing a child, "They say that people are no longer in control of their own destiny when they reach middle age. My husband, you are just an ordinary person now. Don't try to be so stubborn.

Good boy, be obedient!"

Song Xuan rolled his eyes, suddenly felt sleepy, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Lian Xing gently kissed Song Xuan on the lips and looked at him with a smile.

My husband's current strength of essence, energy and spirit is almost all used to fight against the calamity of decline. Although he pretends to be strong with words, his body is very honest and he falls asleep as soon as he says he will.

...

The next day, at noon, Lian Xing got some firecrackers from somewhere, and with the crackling sound, Song Xuan's small clinic opened.

There were no flower baskets or ribbon-cutting ceremonies, no crowds of guests, and no grand opening promotions like buy-one-get-one-free. Just like that, under the gaze of a few passers-by, the small clinic began its business in a low-key manner.

Song Xuan was sitting in the shop, and Lian Xing was making medicine in the backyard. She ground the pills she had made in the lower realm into powder and packaged them separately according to their efficacy.

The morning passed quickly. Occasionally, a few curious people came into the store, but they just came in to look around out of curiosity. No one came to see a doctor specifically.

Song Xuan was not in a hurry either. He lay calmly on the bench, holding an unnamed book on formations. In the warm sunshine, he yawned and studied the formations.

After lying in bed for a whole day, there was no business coming to the store, but Song Xuan didn't care. He closed the shop door in the evening, took a quick shower in the backyard, and went to bed early.

Lian Xing had already washed up and was lying on the bed. When she saw her husband lying down, she couldn't wait to climb up.

Last night she had tasted the sweetness of it and felt the joy of doing this kind of thing with her husband for the first time. Her previous reserve could no longer be controlled at this moment.

In the quiet room, the creaking sound soon rang out again, occasionally accompanied by the murmurs of my brother-in-law.

......

Lian Xing enjoys this peaceful life and is full of expectations for life.

Reading books and tending the shop during the day, and working in harmony at night, Song Xuan also discovered that life could be lived like this.
