Chapter 1766: Chapter 1763: What She Seeks

After the last internal turmoil, two Peak Master positions—Tianzhu Peak and Beirong Peak—were left vacant in the Shang Qing Sect.

Although many disciples of Tianzhu Peak and Beirong Peak did not defect together with Wang Yuanxiao, Ran Weixian and the others and chose to remain, among those who stayed, none had both sufficiently high seniority and a strong enough Realm. Thus, the Peak Master positions of these two great peaks had been left hanging.

After discussion among several powerhouses including Zhantai Chunqiu, they decided not to immediately appoint new Peak Masters for these two peaks, but instead slowly select candidates from the other peaks.

Of course, the disciples of Tianzhu Peak and Beirong Peak are also qualified to run, and under equal conditions, they would have more of an advantage.

However, for cultivators like Shang Heng—akin to the chief disciple of Tian Nan Peak, and already long in charge of all internal affairs of his peak on behalf of his master, with cultivation at the Peak Late-stage Nascent Soul Realm—their chances are even greater.

Precisely because of this, Shang Heng now had a new, and much better path ahead of him.

In addition, Yang Fei’s value was now irreplaceable. Let alone Wan Daorong, who sincerely treated him as a Closed-door Disciple, nurturing and caring for him, even the Sect Master Zhantai Chunqiu placed great hopes on Yang Fei and valued him extremely highly.

Not to mention Shen Wanjing of Shifang City, and that Little Princess of the Yan Family, and so on.

Right now, no one wished for anything bad to happen to Yang Fei.

Thus, Shang Heng had long since figured it out: if he wanted a good future for himself, then he absolutely must not compete with Yang Fei.

On the contrary, he had to do everything he could to build a good relationship with Yang Fei. Only in this way could he maintain his position as one of the core pillars of the Shang Qing Sect in the future.

"Master, you needn’t worry. Little Junior Brother is a Child of Fortune; nothing will happen to him. At most, his Heart Demon Tribulation will be more violent than that of other cultivators forming their Nascent Soul, but I believe that with Little Junior Brother’s mental fortitude, plus his powerful Divine Sense that has long since reached the level of a Mid stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he should be able to handle it." Shang Heng comforted.

Wan Daorong nodded and said, "As your master, I think the same; otherwise I wouldn’t have permitted your Little Junior Brother to attempt Nascent Soul Formation at this time."

Hearing his master answer this way, Shang Heng’s worries lessened considerably.

He trusted his master’s judgment.

Piaomiao Stream.

After Lu Qingyue had dinner together with Li Guiju and Huang Qiaoqiao, she began tidying up the room.

Li Guiju and Huang Qiaoqiao tried to lend a hand, but Lu Qingyue stopped them. She already had cultivation at the Peak of Late Stage Foundation Establishment, and her actual age had long since passed one hundred and thirty.

But because she was a cultivator, she looked like a young girl in her twenties. As long as she was unwilling, there was no household chore that Li Guiju and Huang Qiaoqiao could manage to do in front of her.

Even though they had been waited on for three years already, Li Guiju and Huang Qiaoqiao still felt somewhat unaccustomed.

"Immortal Lu, you don’t have to come here so often to take care of us. We can still manage these things ourselves. You are an Immortal, with a great future before you, and cultivation even more requires time. How could you waste it on two useless mortals like us?" Li Guiju said to Lu Qingyue.

Lu Qingyue smiled faintly at these words and said, "I’m not here every day taking care of you two. I just come by when I have free time from cultivation; it doesn’t delay my cultivation. Besides, Junior Brother Yang Fei has been a great benefactor to me—if not for his help back then, I would still be stuck at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. You are his family, and there aren’t many people here to talk with you. Me dropping by occasionally to chat doesn’t cause any trouble."

"Ah, you lass... cough, you girl, you’re far too polite," Li Guiju said, a bit embarrassed.

Lu Qingyue giggled. "I’m already a hundred and thirty-seven this year. Strictly speaking, I’m older than both of you."

Li Guiju patted her forehead. "Yes, you’ve mentioned that before. Look at this old woman’s memory. With that youthful appearance of yours, you look about the same age as our Qing Chan, so I always get it mixed up."

Lu Qingyue said with a smile, "If only my grandmother were still alive, that would be wonderful."

Huang Qiaoqiao looked at Lu Qingyue, and her gaze was filled with envy.

Cultivation is really wonderful.

Someone over one hundred and thirty years old, yet looking like she’s just in her twenties, and that skin of hers was so delicate.

And that figure, that bearing.

Tsk tsk, truly something to be envied.

If only she herself could cultivate as well.

Yang Hao could cultivate; in another hundred years, he would still look like a vigorous young man. But what about herself?

Even though she had taken a Beauty Pill, once the prescribed term ran out, she would still have to die, and when that time came, her looks would rapidly decay.

She did not dare to keep thinking about it. She could only quietly turn her head and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

There is a divide between Immortal and mortal, and it is also an eternal parting between Immortal and mortal.

"Miss Lu, have there been any recent news about our Yang Dong?" After adjusting her state of mind, Huang Qiaoqiao asked Lu Qingyue.

Lu Qingyue nodded. "Under Senior Brother Song Kun’s tutelage, he’s cultivating diligently and making rapid progress. I heard he’s already at the Sixth Stage of Qi Refining."

"Ah, that fast?" Li Guiju and Huang Qiaoqiao exclaimed at the same time.

Although they themselves could not cultivate, they still had some understanding of cultivation.

Back on Earth, Yang Hao, Yang Dong, and Yang Qingchan all cultivated very diligently, yet after several decades they had only reached around the Third Stage of Qi Refining.

And now, after coming to the Southern Domain World for just a few short years, Yang Dong had already reached the Sixth Stage of Qi Refining. This progress was truly astonishing.

Lu Qingyue smiled and said, "Senior Brother Song Kun is a powerful cultivator at the Late-stage Nascent Soul Realm. With his personal, attentive guidance, it’s only natural that Yang Dong’s cultivation grows rapidly. I believe it won’t be long before he can attempt Foundation Establishment. Once he successfully establishes his foundation, he will have truly stepped through the great gate of cultivation."

Huang Qiaoqiao’s face was full of gratification.

Li Guiju likewise felt proud and honored in her heart. "Good, good, our Yang Family’s younger generation really are all promising."

Huang Qiaoqiao nodded along, but at the end she suddenly added, "It’s just that once the child becomes a cultivator, I’m afraid he won’t have the mind to get married."

Lu Qingyue’s mouth twitched slightly.

Li Guiju also nodded solemnly. "Qiaoqiao, what you say makes sense. In fact, cultivation doesn’t conflict with marriage. Our Yang Family has risen because of Yang Fei, but our bloodline is still too thin. That boy Yang Fei has three wives yet only one son. Now Yang Dong is cultivating too, and who knows when he’ll have a wife and children. That’s no good; we have to get them to have more children, so the Yang Family can flourish and continue the line."

Lu Qingyue was left in disarray by the wind.

They’ve already attained long life through cultivation, so why are they still so concerned over continuing the bloodline?

She simply couldn’t understand the mindset of these two mortals.

After leaving Piaomiao Stream, on her way back to her own residence, Lu Qingyue’s gaze swept toward the direction of the Main Peak.

She wondered when Yang Fei would come out of seclusion.

It was said that this time he had gone into seclusion to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation.

Tsk tsk, he wasn’t even seventy years old yet. For the vast majority of cultivators, they still couldn’t even reach Foundation Establishment at that age, but he was already beginning to form his Nascent Soul.

A cultivator who can form their Nascent Soul before the age of one hundred—what kind of talent is that? Throughout the recorded history of the Southern Domain Cultivation World, you probably couldn’t even count three such people.

It was said that the Genetic Liquid Medicine possessed a miraculous ability to raise one’s Spirit Root Grade. She wondered whether she would have a chance to obtain a little of it from Junior Brother Yang Fei.

She did not ask for much; just a tiny bit would be enough.
