Free Web NovelChapter 315: Chapter 120: Out of Sight, Face to Face
Hua Xiaoying thought for a moment, then suddenly took out three embroidered golden pouches from her sleeve and handed them to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan respectfully accepted them and asked, "Godmother, what are these?" freewёbnoνel.com
Hua Xiaoying replied, "Face Stabilizing Pill, Purifying Body Pill, Longevity Pill.
Ten pills per bottle.
The Face Stabilizing Pill can keep a mortal woman’s appearance youthful forever.
The Purifying Body Pill can cure all diseases in the mortal world, even congenital illnesses in the womb can be treated.
The Longevity Pill can extend a person’s life, allowing them to live to the greatest possible age, usually at least a hundred years.
These pills, I obtained from Peak Master Shui.
The pills are not difficult to refine, but they are of little demand to cultivators, and the spirit grasses and flowers required are quite rare. Peak Master Shui also kept them as samples for practice, and now I’ve acquired all of them..."
Li Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Hua Xiaoying said, "Your senior sister also learned about it from your mortal concubine."
"Thank you, godmother." Li Xuan sincerely expressed his gratitude, as these three bottles of pills were one of the purposes of his visit to the Sect, and now he had easily completed it.
After some thought, he asked again, "Godmother, I have a relative in the mortal world who once accidentally entered the market on the Bronze Plain and bought a pill. That pill was said to ensure he lived to eighty, but then he would die. I wonder if the Longevity Pill could be of help?"
Hua Xiaoying thought for a moment and said, "He likely consumed a Longevity Pill with remaining poison; you should first give him a Purifying Body Pill to remove the toxin, then let him take a Longevity Pill."
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the Prime Minister, who originally had two or three years left, should be able to live a few more years.
The three chatted first.
During this, Hua Xiaoying also took Li Xuan to the Hua family in Nine Towns.
Li Xuan followed the rules properly and formally entered the Hua family once.
Previously, it was just a registration in the name register.
Now, he needed to complete a full process to be truly integrated into the Hua family.
This meant Li Xuan truly gained an identity as "Hua Xuan," and the last bit of disharmony between him and the Hua family disappeared completely.
This kind of "integration into the family" is comparable to a "marriage alliance."
Especially since Li Xuan is known for being kind, righteous, grateful, and willing to return favors, even more so.
The respectable old patriarchs of the Hua family all smiled while watching this extraordinary prodigy, introducing their children one by one.
Hua Xiaoying also looked at him with a smile, feeling a bit more closeness in her heart.
On that day, the Hua family held a banquet to announce to Nine Towns that Li Xuan of Feiguang Peak had joined the Hua family...
Of course, everyone understood that joining the Hua family did not mean Li Xuan must call himself Hua Xuan outside; it was merely a closer connection. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Li Xuan enjoyed the feast, sneakily eating to his fill.
In the blink of an eye, it was dusk again.
Li Xuan, Hua Xiaoying, and Luo E left the Hua family in Nine Towns together.
Thus, both in terms of roots and face, he was tied to the Lingyi Sect.
"I didn’t expect you to have such an appetite." Luo E noticed a blind spot.
Li Xuan said, "The Overlord Sword consumes a great deal, I have no choice but to eat."
"Demons also have big appetites." Luo E blurted out.
Li Xuan chuckled.
This entire year, he had actually been in a state of being "three-quarters full."
As a man, being busy outside and not being able to eat one’s fill is normal.
Hua Xiaoying said, "E’Er!! How can you talk like that?"
Luo E laughed, "Being able to eat is good, it matches the image of a strong man in my heart. I think men should have a good appetite, if they only eat a single meat pill or something, that really lacks flavor!"
After saying that, she patted Li Xuan’s shoulder and said, "Junior brother, I have high hopes for you!"
Li Xuan liked his senior sister’s straightforwardness of "speaking without thinking" and laughed, "What are you hopeful for?"
Luo E said, "I hope you can become a ’leg up,’ and then take me with you.
Besides, mother didn’t smile much before, but since you came, her smile has increased.
You know how lonely mother was after my father passed away?
Now that you’re here, I think mother isn’t lonely anymore."
Li Xuan: ???
In fact, he had long known the truth about "Luo E’s father’s" death from Feng Xiongyi, but with Feng Xiongyi dead, he didn’t want to bring it up again and cause his godmother distress.
On the other hand, Hua Xiaoying was speechless, "E’Er... what are you talking about?"
Luo E said, "With junior brother here, is mother still lonely?"
Li Xuan: ...
Hua Xiaoying: ...
The atmosphere was awkwardly humorous.
Li Xuan said, "Senior sister, it’s better if you don’t speak."
"Oh." Luo E grinned, her small lips curving like a new moon, her snow-white robe immaculate, truly resembling an immortal from the heavens.
Just at this moment, Hua Xiaoying and Luo E’s expressions suddenly changed.
Hua Xiaoying touched the jade stone at her waist, exchanged a glance with Luo E, then turned to look at Li Xuan and said, "This is a communication stone; a disciple is requesting aid, saying they’ve encountered enemies fifty or sixty miles north of Lingyi Sect.
This communication stone must be uniformly distributed by the Sect Leader, but although we informed the Sect Leader about the change, he has not yet left the casting room..."
Li Xuan curiously asked, "How is this communication stone used?"
Hua Xiaoying said, "By infusing it with Qi, then it can be used in a place abounding with Spiritual Qi."
Li Xuan: ...
This item, he cannot use.
So, he said, "Let’s go give them aid first."
Quite a few cultivators had received the call for help through the communication stone.
As the three of them rose into the air using sword control, they also saw some Soldier Masters heading north.
Apart from the Soldier Masters, there were also many on horseback.
Most of these riders were at the Majestic Form realm, who had just started for one or two years. If they had formed a Sword Array, they could barely fight against enemies. They were responsible not for the front lines, but just for patrolling the periphery.
...
The setting sun darkened the clouds on the horizon...
By evening, rain clouds gathered in the mountains again.
North of the Lingyi Sect, a curtain of rain shrouded the sky and earth, and the mist rose from the summer grass like restless ghosts.
Raindrops landing on the ground formed flowers.
White flowers.
White flowers tinged with blood.
Red blood.
In his usual carefree style, Shuichengzi in his crane cloak watched the scene before him in disbelief.
A black bear was gnawing wildly on the remains of a deceased Lingyi Sect disciple, chewing the flesh and blood, tearing muscle strands away strand by strand.
"Wretched beast, how dare you!!" This typically easy-going and laid-back Shuichengzi had never seen such a bloody scene, and now he struck out in fury, but the black bear caught the flying sword with tremendous force and deflected it with a "bang".
Even so, the black bear still took two steps back and tossed the disciple’s body behind it, where more humanoid-skinned bear demons took over and continued devouring.
The black bear grabbed a nearby human skin and the coarse appearance suddenly disappeared, turning into a calm-faced man.
Shuichengzi, though aware, was still shocked by the scene. Especially since he recognized the person.
Both frustrated and sighing, he said, "Brother Jin, Brother Jin, I didn’t expect you to fall into the demon’s clutches."
The black bear, now cloaked in the human skin of the Jin-named cultivator, said, "Hand over Feng Xiongyi, and tell me who turned him into this state, then the matter ends today. Otherwise... I’ll slaughter every chicken and dog in your Lingyi Sect."
