Chapter 26: Reunion After Ten Years!

Words : 1668 Updated : Sep 10th, 2025

Ruyi Tower.Lu Changsheng, Li Feiyu, Hong Yi, Han Lin, Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, six people reunited after three years. In three years, all of them have gone from the mundane world to the cultivation path, and have undergone significant changes. “Miss Xiao, in the world of immortality, strength is the most respected, and you should be the one to take the main seat.” Hong Yi said enthusiastically towards Xiao Xiyue. However, this warmth no longer carried the same fervor as it did three years ago, devoid of any pursuit. Instead, it was a friendly and heartfelt warmth between friends. Hong Yi was well aware that he was no longer worthy of Xiao Xiyue. He couldn’t even catch up with her three years ago, let alone now. Going after her would only bring dishonor to himself, unable to even maintain a friendship. “If that’s the case, Young Lord Hong, I won’t stand on ceremony,” Xiao Xiyue said, slightly reluctant before she stopped insisting on formality. Three years ago, she had a straightforward and lively personality that hadn’t changed much over the years, but now she carried herself with even more grace and generosity. “Changsheng, your transformation is incredible, I almost didn’t recognize you!” “I heard from Young Lord Hong that you and Brother Li are both sons-in-law of a cultivation family, and it seems like you’re living quite well.” At that moment, Han Lin said to Lu Changsheng in his usual relaxed manner. Initially, among the six, Xiao Xiyue, as the beauty of the group, was very interested in the martial arts world and often talked to Li Feiyu about it, so they had a relatively good relationship. Han Lin and Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, had similar backgrounds and personalities, hence their good relationship. “Well, we’re all cultivators now, so some changes are to be expected,” Lu Changsheng chuckled, appearing quite magnanimous. Although his significant transformation was largely due to the cultivation technique he was practicing, according to the principles of the technique, it was due to his good foundation, so he had no reason to feel embarrassed. “This isn’t just ‘some’ transformation; your transformation surpasses mine.” “It is said that women undergo eighteen transformations; is it possible for men to undergo twenty?” Xiao Xiyue teased. Three years ago, she was already a beauty, and now, three years later, she has blossomed even more, captivating hearts and souls with every smile and frown. Lu Changsheng, who had nine concubines, couldn’t help but look at Xiao Xiyue a few more times. After all, Xiao Xiyue not only had an exquisite appearance, but also possessed a Fourth Grade Spirit Root. If she could bear children for him, not only would there be a high probability of producing offspring with Spiritual Roots, but there would also be a chance of producing offspring with intermediate Spiritual Roots. However, it was unrealistic to expect a disciple of the immortal sect with Fourth Grade Spirit Roots to have children of his own. For a long time, it seemed that this could only be realized in dreams. “A woman can go through eighteen transformations, of course a man can go through twenty, isn’t that an example right here?” Lu Changsheng replied with a smile, his eyes clear and confident. With the confidence given by the system, Lu Changsheng could now face anyone with a calm mentality, treating everyone equally. You have talent? I have a system! You have a background? I have a system! You have strength? I have a system! So, everyone was pretty much the same. You have talent and background, with unlimited prospects for the future. I have a system behind me, as long as I work hard, I will have success in the future! Soon, everyone began to chat in this familiar atmosphere. However, it was mainly Hong Yi and Xiao Xiyue who chatted, finding topics to discuss. Lu Changsheng and Han Lin were the ones who answered questions, interjecting when there was something of interest. Li Feiyu and Zhao Qingqing spoke relatively less, only speaking when asked. During this conversation, everyone talked about their recent situations, which allowed Lu Changsheng to understand everyone’s situation to a certain extent. Even though Hong Yi was the son of Marquis Ruyi and had reached the third level of Qi Refinement cultivation three years ago, he didn’t have many cultivation resources over the years and had to rely on his own efforts to earn them. As a result, he is still at the peak of the third cultivation level of Qi Refinement and has not been able to break through. This also made Lu Changsheng realize that the bottleneck from Qi Refining Level Three to Four was much harder than he had imagined. Because of her Fourth Grade Spirit Root, Xiao Xiyue was directly noticed by the elders when she joined the Blue Cloud Sect and became an internal disciple. Now, she has reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. Although Han Lin and Zhao Qingqing joined the Blue Cloud Clan, their spiritual roots were average, so they are only outer disciples, which was quite different from Xiao Xiyue. Inner disciples can just concentrate on their cultivation, but in addition to cultivation, outer disciples also need to spend time learning a skill. Because the sect pays attention to complementary advantages and mutual assistance, the internal division of labor was clear. Some excel in combat, some in formations, some in alchemy, refining, talisman making, and some in the cultivation of spirit fields and medicinal herbs. Of course, for those with exceptional talents, cultivation takes precedence. As for those with average talents, their aptitude in other areas will be taken into consideration. Han Lin, who is a blacksmith, chose the craft of artifact refining. He has a decent talent in this area and is currently apprenticed to a master refiner. In terms of cultivation, he is at the peak of the second stage of Qi Refining. Zhao Qingqing has chosen the path of a pharmacist and is also at the apprentice level. Her cultivation level is slightly higher than Han Lin’s, and she has already broken through to the third level of Qi Refining. After hearing about everyone’s recent situations, Lu Changsheng also understands that the gap between him and the Immortal Sect disciples isn’t as big as he thought. However, he also knows that this is just the beginning. The gap between them will grow as time goes on. “Brother Changsheng truly deserves to be the first one to wake up in the ‘Heart Questioning Platform’ during the fourth examination in the Blue Cloud Sect.” “As expected, the saying is true: Gold shines wherever it is!” After everyone shared their circumstances, they were all astonished to hear that Lu Changsheng had gone from being a son-in-law to a qualified talisman master with a Third Level of Qi Refining. Han Lin even spoke up and revealed some information. “Huh? Brother Lu actually ranked first in the ‘Heart Questioning Platform’ examination during the Immortal Sect’s examination?” Hong Yi and others are surprised to hear this. “That’s right. After I became an apprentice refiner, I happened to meet an elder brother who had taken the test back then, so I asked him why Brother Changsheng wasn’t chosen.” “The elder brother remembered Brother Changsheng and said that he only had nine Spirit Roots and was too old. Otherwise, he would definitely have been able to enter the Blue Cloud Sect based on his performance in the Heart Questioning Platform.” Han Lin said with some regret. “It’s too bad.” Li Feiyu also felt a little sorry for Lu Changsheng. Others nodded slightly, feeling that it was indeed a pity. Even though Lu Changsheng’s achievements in the past three years had astonished many, they all felt that it would still be better for him to join the Blue Cloud Sect and become a disciple of an immortal sect. “There’s nothing to regret. I think the way things are now is quite good,” Lu Changsheng said upon hearing the news, showing no signs of regret. If he were to join the Blue Cloud Clan, he would surely have to spend several years gaining experience before he could think about getting married and having children. In that case, he would be wasting a considerable amount of time and might not be any better off than he is now. “You are right, Brother Lu’s talent and skill will shine wherever he goes,” Hong Yi immediately smoothed things over and they continued to eat, drink and chat. Originally, the focus of this gathering should have been on Xiao Xiyue. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴ0velFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality. However, Lu Changsheng, who had been in the worst condition three years ago, seemed to play a somewhat prominent role in this gathering. And so, after spending a day together, the six of them, led by Hong Yi, spent another day sightseeing in Ruyi County before making a ten-year pact and saying goodbye to each other. Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin not only kept their appointment, but also went home to visit their families, just like Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu. However, Lu Changsheng didn’t rush back. He let Li Feiyu go first and planned to go to the Crimson Whale Gang to find him later. During this trip, he also wanted to find a place to sell the talismans on his body and buy materials for some high-quality and high-grade talismans. He had previously asked Hong Yi where there were immortal cultivation markets nearby. Hong Yi told Lu Changsheng that there were basically no immortal cultivation markets in the mundane world, only a few gathering places for rouge cultivators. These rouge cultivator gathering places would sometimes hold trading events, and he would return to Lu Changsheng with some information in a few days.
