144: Letter from Qingyun Patriarch

After chatting with Ye Manqing for a while, Liu Xuan finally learned the reason why she and her son had not moved to White Crane Lake.

It turned out that Liu Daodan was very interested in Alchemy and had been following Wu Qingyue to learn various basic medicinal material knowledge.

Since the Liu Family had built an Alchemy room, Wu Qingyue did not move to White Crane Lake, and would teach the child during her leisure time each day.

Wu Qingyue's daughter, Liu Ling Jing, did not have a Spiritual Root, so she didn't hold much hope for her. Moreover, Ling Jing wasn't interested in Alchemy either, and had long since gone to White Crane Lake to play with the other children.

However, Daodan, this child, was very interested in Alchemy and had great Comprehension Ability. Wu Qingyue grew to dote on him more and more, essentially teaching him as if he were her own son.

Since her son liked it, Ye Manqing was not in a hurry to move to White Crane Lake. She had been pregnant before and had previously helped Liu Miao manage the peach orchard, so she could accompany her son while also tending to the spiritual peaches.

Liu Xuan gave Ye Manqing a pile of Medicinal Pills, tonics, and Spirit Stones, and also gave her a copy of the Green Wood Body Sculpting Art.

"Don't worry about Spirit Stones. Just tell me if you want anything. When I'm not around, go find Xia He. I'll talk to her later and ask her to take good care of you."

"After your body recovers a bit, spend more time practicing the martial Cultivation Technique. Even if you can't Breakthrough, it's good for strengthening your body."

"Husband..."

Ye Manqing was caught off guard by Liu Xuan's sudden concern.

She was just a nobody, never having dared to hope for special treatment, and had no great ambitions.

Liu Xuan's sudden kindness made her happy, but also a little flustered.

"Don't overthink it. Once things in the county town are settled, I'll take you all to White Crane Lake."

"En!"

Ye Manqing nodded. Liu Xuan was her everything. Since Liu Xuan told her to go to White Crane Lake, then she would go to White Crane Lake... Leaving the peach orchard, Liu Xuan went to the Alchemy room.

Wu Qingyue was currently performing Alchemy. Her skill in refining qi and blood pills had reached the pinnacle, and recently she had been specializing in First-Order Low-Grade Yao Beast bone-strengthening pills.

Only by successfully refining a First-Order Low-Grade Medicinal Pill could she truly be called an Alchemist.

With Liu Xuan's occasional guidance, she was only a tiny step away from success, capable of a Breakthrough at any moment.

"Husband!"

Seeing Liu Xuan enter, Wu Qingyue exclaimed in surprise.

"Steady your mind, and lower the ground fire temperature a bit!" Liu Xuan advised.

Wu Qingyue immediately complied, looked at the Pill Furnace, and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Liu Xuan, her heart filled with admiration.

Liu Xuan was definitely an Alchemist, and not just an ordinary low-level Alchemist. After being guided by Liu Xuan multiple times, she gradually realized this.

"I plan to move the Alchemy room to White Crane Lake. You're in charge of this matter. I'll have the Merchant Alliance people follow your instructions."

"Good!"

Wu Qingyue nodded happily.

Moving to White Crane Lake would be better. She could consult Liu Xuan at any time, and also spend more time with her daughter Ling Jing.

That girl Ling Jing, when she was around, Wu Qingyue found her disobedient, but after a few days apart, she missed her terribly.

After discussing the details of the Alchemy room's relocation with Wu Qingyue for a while, Liu Xuan went to see Xia He.

Xia He was already several months pregnant. She was currently the spokesperson for the county town's Law Enforcement Team and couldn't leave for a short time.

Liu Xuan's reputation had recently soared, and as Liu Xuan's Dao Companion, Xia He's work in the county town also went smoothly. Many matters didn't require her personal presence; a single command was enough to get things done.

Xia He's Cultivation was at the Late Qi Refining Stage Stage, making her the Cultivator with the highest Cultivation among Liu Xuan's Dao Companions.

In the eyes of many, she was Liu Xuan's legitimate wife. Therefore, whether within the Sect or among the various Families of Yongning, they were willing to give her Face.

"Would He'er also like to move to White Crane Lake? It doesn't matter if you're not here to oversee Yongning City anymore."

Embracing Xia He's delicate body, Liu Xuan suggested.

"No need~"

Xia He wrapped her arms around Liu Xuan's neck, leaning against him. "Anyway, the county town isn't far from White Crane Lake. I can go there anytime I miss you."

"It's so boring on the island. I still prefer to stay in the city!"

County Magistrate County Magistrate didn't bother with affairs, so Xia He could make decisions on all matters, big and small.

This feeling of holding great power was wonderful. She was not willing to run to White Crane Lake and compete with other women.

"Alright!"

Liu Xuan took out the first-tier high-grade Magical Artifact, the Five-Colored Umbrella, which the System had given him, a stack of first-tier high-grade Talismans, and several bottles of Medicinal Pills suitable for a Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator's Cultivation from his Storage Pouch, and handed them all to her.

"These are for your self-defense. If you need anything else, you can also tell me."

"High Grade Magical Artifact!"

Xia He looked at the items Liu Xuan gave her. With a casual gesture, it was again several hundreds, even thousands, of Spirit Stones worth of items.

"Thank you, husband!"

She tilted her head and kissed Liu Xuan on the cheek.

Seeing her happy, Liu Xuan also smiled.

Although Xia He was a bit materialistic and craved power, her character had no problems, and she never actively asked Liu Xuan for gifts.

For such a discerning woman, Liu Xuan didn't mind giving her more benefits... Time flowed like water.

Three months later.

In the center of the Fledgling Eagle Courtyard, a three-meter-tall jade phoenix tree stood lush and green.

Its trunk was straight, and its leaves were emerald green. Indeed, just as the System described, it was extremely easy to Cultivate.

He plucked a leaf and chewed it. The taste was slightly bitter, with a sweet aftertaste, and had a mild effect of calming the mind and nourishing the Divine Soul, as well as slightly increasing the speed of mana refinement.

Perhaps due to the System's reward, this jade phoenix tree grew extremely fast. It was estimated that it would reach the limit of the Spiritual Vein in this area, the second-tier Medium Grade level, within ten years.

This was much better than the Myriad Longevity Black Tortoise, as it could take effect in a short period of time.

The third-rank jade phoenix tree rewarded this time was neither a seedling nor a seed, but a special spiritual plant that could quickly grow to maturity.

According to Liu Xuan's estimation, if it could be planted directly in the Sect and nourished by a third-rank Spiritual Vein, it would take at most twenty to thirty years to grow to the third-rank.

"Husband, this is a message from Old Ancestor."

While Liu Xuan was eating leaves, Lin Yiyi came over with a Talisman message. His Divine Soul probed into it, and it turned out that Ancestor Qingyun had asked Liu Xuan to return to the Sect.

He hadn't returned to the Sect for more than half a year, and it was indeed time to go back. However, just thinking about True Person Xiao's strange attitude made him a bit resistant.

No way! He couldn't hide forever. Not returning at all would only arouse suspicion. He had to pay his respects at least once in a while.

Coincidentally, Lin Xue'er's third child was about to be born, so it was a good time to go back and see her.

The Iron Feather Eagle soared through the sky, as Liu Xuan took his eldest son, Liu Daoyuan, back to the Sect.

An hour later.

The Iron Feather Eagle landed in the Talisman Master's Small Courtyard.

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

"Mom~"

"I'm back!"

After half a year away, Eldest Son, whose demeanor had become more composed, transformed back into the lively little chubby boy.

"Stop shouting! I heard you."

Lin Xue'er, with her big belly, said irritably.

"Pfft~"

The moment she saw her eldest son Eldest Son come out, Lin Xue'er almost bent over laughing, pointing at his Face and laughing:

"How did you get so tanned?!"

Eldest Son was already chubby and sturdy, and now, tanned dark, he truly looked like a little black bear.

"Am I?"

Eldest Son touched his head. "It must be from getting tanned while catching fish in the lake!"

"Hehe!"

Eldest Son didn't care about being tanned or not. He was quite happy to make his mother laugh.
