Free Web NovelChapter 1277: Chapter 1263: Bai Family
Baiyu looked around at the layout of the room. Other than confirming this was a wealthy household, he basically couldn’t get any other information.
Based on what he’d learned about the Profound Origin Realm before.
The entire Profound Origin Realm.
Mundane people and Cultivators were separate. Generally, Cultivators and those Cultivation Sects were all hidden in famous mountains and great rivers, and had restrictions set up; ordinary people could never enter in their lifetime.
Of course.
In the mortal world of the Profound Origin Realm, once someone with a relatively suitable physique for Immortal Cultivation and exceptional talent appeared among mortals, they would also be taken into an Immortal Cultivation Sect.
What they called exceptional talent here.
Was essentially a body with extremely high sensitivity and compatibility to Spiritual Qi, with a pretty good conversion rate as well.
Naturally, on the path of Cultivation, such a person could advance by leaps and bounds and pull far ahead of ordinary people.
And once a Cultivator appeared within a mortal clan, the entire family would undergo a transformation because of it. "When one person attains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven," was precisely describing this sort of situation.
Baiyu moved this rather childish body a bit.
He’d been directly and forcibly shrunk.
This wasn’t an Illusion Technique.
This move from the flower bud could be considered a miracle. Even an ordinary Immortal probably wouldn’t be able to do something like this.
Truly, the world was full of strange things.
Baiyu sighed slightly, then took a deep breath and accepted his current identity.
After a moment.
A middle-aged woman rushed in, and upon seeing Baiyu, she burst into tears. "Yuer, you had your auntie worried to death."
Behind this middle-aged woman.
Followed a middle-aged man in fine robes, extremely fat, carrying an air of authority that needed no anger to be imposing.
Although there wasn’t much emotion shown on his face.
But from the way he hurried over, one could see just how anxious and concerned he was inside.
"Yuer, is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable?"
The man asked.
At this moment, Baiyu still didn’t know exactly what his situation was. This was clearly not body-snatching transmigration; his body was still his original one, only his Blood Qi and Spirituality had been suppressed, and he couldn’t undo it for the time being.
No matter how powerful the flower bud was.
It was impossible to silently strip away the strength he had painstakingly Cultivated.
In other words.
He hadn’t replaced anyone. Then where had this family’s original son gone? Was he dead, erased outright by the flower bud, or had the flower bud simply created a fake, nonexistent "person" in these people’s memories?
Baiyu wasn’t sure.
But he leaned more toward the last possibility.
"Yuer? Yuer?"
At this time.
Seeing that Baiyu didn’t answer, the middle-aged man’s expression couldn’t help but turn anxious, no longer maintaining his previous calm.
"Master, could it be that Yuer’s memory is damaged, that he doesn’t remember us anymore?"
At this moment.
The middle-aged woman at his side asked nervously.
The man’s brows furrowed tightly, and he was about to ask again.
Baiyu instead raised his head and said in a flat voice, "You all go out first, I want some quiet."
Hearing this.
Joy immediately flooded both their faces.
If he could still speak, then it meant he was fine. As for his attitude being this aloof, that was just because he had just recovered from a serious illness.
They could understand!
"Good, good, we’ll go out, we’ll go out right away. Do you want us to leave a few servants for you, so you can order them around..."
The man asked with a smile.
Baiyu shook his head. "All of you, out."
For a moment.
The man actually felt that his son’s words carried a kind of aura that could not be disobeyed.
He glanced to both sides and barked, "What are you still standing around for, all of you get out. Right, notify everyone in the mansion that tonight we’ll hold a grand banquet. Tell the kitchens to make it more lavish!"
The man led the group of people out, lingering reluctantly.
Although he really wanted to confirm whether his son was truly all right, he now didn’t dare go in and provoke this little ancestor.
If he suddenly turned hostile.
That would be troublesome.
...
Main hall of the Bai Mansion.
The middle-aged man, Bai Guangtao, sat at the chief seat. Years of socializing had long since ruined his youthful figure, turning him into his current fat and bloated appearance.
The middle-aged woman at his side was precisely the one who had just rushed into Baiyu’s room and sobbed.
Her eyes were still swollen red.
Her face was slightly pale. "Yuer seems a bit off. He probably hasn’t fully recovered yet, right?"
Bai Guangtao nodded. "He’s only just woken up, after being in a coma for a full fourteen days. It’s already pretty good that he woke up.
Let him rest and recover.
By the way.
Don’t let him go out again in the near future. He fell from the horse before, and I keep feeling someone was secretly trying to harm him.
That Jade Gentleman is a famous horse from the Wenliang region, known for its gentle temperament.
How could it suddenly have a Violent Eruption like that?"
Bai Guangtao’s brows knit tightly.
The middle-aged woman next to him nodded, and then said, "But it’s not a solution to keep him like this either. Now Yuer won’t even speak."
"Let him recover a few more days. He’ll get better."
Bai Guangtao said at an unhurried pace.
...
Over the next few days.
Baiyu stayed in his own room to rest, occasionally going out to the courtyard to bask in the Sun and asking some of the servants about the situation of the whole mansion.
After several rounds of this.
He had more or less figured out the situation in the Bai Mansion.
Although he didn’t know how the flower bud had done it, everyone in the Bai Mansion knew he existed.
He was the son of Master Bai Guangtao.
Also named Baiyu.
His mother had been frail and sickly and passed away early. That middle-aged woman from before was his auntie, a concubine Bai Guangtao had taken later, Liu Fangran.
Within the Bai Mansion.
He had always been the Legitimate Son, arrogant in his usual conduct. The Bai Family ran restaurants, and their business was huge; just in Jiangdi City alone they had no fewer than twenty branch shops, and it was the place that high officials and nobles loved to frequent the most.
In short.
In the catering and commerce sector, the Bai Family basically had things firmly in hand.
The Bai Family wasn’t short of money.
And because they ran restaurants, they kept many Martial Artist Households and Slaves on hand, and had quite good connections with the high officials and nobles of Jiangdi City. They could be considered a very flourishing noble household.
"This starting point for reincarnation doesn’t seem bad at all. I just don’t know how the flower bud arranged it... However, only by cultivating immortality and achieving Ascension can I end the challenge. Otherwise, I should be stuck in the Profound Origin Realm.
Looking at it this way.
Those who participated in the competition earlier should still be here, because the White Bone Giant Ship currently has no owner..."
Baiyu’s brows furrowed tightly.
This was a bit of a problem.
Those of them who entered the Profound Origin Realm later were at an infinite disadvantage, weren’t they? No one knew how many years those earlier competition participants, who had stayed in the Profound Origin Realm, had been cultivating their foundations here.
It was even possible that someone might suddenly achieve Ascension tomorrow.
Wouldn’t he lose while lying down, just like that?
That said, the road of Immortal Cultivation was long, and the Spiritual Qi in the Profound Origin Realm was currently scarce. Ascension was not a simple matter.
Take one step at a time.
If he wanted to cultivate immortality, he at least had to join an Immortal Cultivation Sect.
The imperial clan of Jiangdi City should have ties with Immortal Cultivation Sects; starting from that angle would be the easiest and quickest.
As for his own original strength.
He could probably use it within the Profound Origin Realm, but likely could not Ascend with it.
Otherwise.
The flower bud wouldn’t have needed to lock everyone’s Blood Qi and Spirituality.
