279: One day on, one day off

The bedroom. A large bed.

Liu Xuan lay in the middle, with Li Man on his left wearing a half-length white silk stocking, and Lin Anqi on his right wearing a milky-white camisole.

Tonight was a health-maintenance rest day, so Liu Xuan only accompanied Li Man and Lin Anqi. If it were a Cultivation day, there would be at least seven or eight to start with!

Liu Xuan had always believed in balancing work and rest when it came to Cultivation; except for special times, he generally followed a schedule of one day on, one day off.

On workdays, he worked hard, while on rest days, he focused on enjoyment, caring for one or two beloved concubines depending on his mood.

"Husband!" Lin Anqi hugged Liu Xuan's arm, her soft, warm body pressed against him, her Face full of worry. "Cheng'er is alone on the border battlefield, I'm worried..."

Liu Xuan reached out to gently stroke her hair and comforted her, "It will be fine! He is staying on the third-tier thunder beast flying ship, it is very safe!"

"I have already sent people to assist, and I have also notified the Beast Taming Sect. He also has the Black Crystal Bees for protection, so nothing will go wrong."

Lin Anqi enjoyed Liu Xuan's caress and snuggled closer to him, but the worry on her Face did not disappear.

"But that is the border battlefield after all. Cheng'er has rarely left home since he was young; he must be suffering so much!"

"Rest assured! Fourth is already grown up; he has to go out and gain experience eventually. Are we going to keep him trapped at home for his whole life?"

"But..."

Lin Anqi wanted to say more, but Liu Xuan interrupted her, "I have already made connections with the Heavenly Sword Sect. In a few days, I will ask their people on the border battlefield to help look after Fourth."

"And as for Senior Sister Yunxi, I will ask her to write a letter to Golden Core True Person Qin Mo. With a Golden Core True Person looking out for him, you should be relieved now, right?"

"A Golden Core True Person?!?"

Lin Anqi's small mouth opened slightly, her bright eyes filled with surprise. "Senior Sister Yunxi has that much Face?"

Liu Xuan had not explicitly stated An Yunxi's identity. Lin Anqi only knew that she was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator with a background in the Beast Taming Sect, but she did not know exactly how strong her background was.

"Senior Sister Yunxi's background is heaven-reaching; her father is a Nascent Soul True Lord. If you have the chance, try to build a good relationship with her."

"A Nascent Soul True Lord!!"

Lin Anqi bit her lower lip, too shocked to speak.

Once upon a time, even a Foundation Establishment Ancestor was an existence she could not reach; she had never imagined that one day she would be connected to a Nascent Soul True Lord.

That was a Nascent Soul True Lord! With a lifespan of three thousand years, they could witness the changing of the seas, observe the shifting of the stars, and with a wave of their hand, cause the heavens and earth to change color and mountains and rivers to collapse—a mighty, high-level Cultivator!

"You can be at ease now, right?" Liu Xuan reached out and pinched her tender, fair cheek. Her motionless, shocked expression was extremely cute.

"By the way, how is your father? Has there been any progress in his Cultivation?" Liu Xuan changed the subject, not intending to reveal too much information about An Yunxi.

Lin Anqi snapped out of it and pouted. "What progress could he possibly have? Every day he just plants flowers and raises small animals. If it weren't for the Medicinal Pill you gave him, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have been able to make a Breakthrough to the ninth level of Qi Refining."

For over twenty years, Lin Tianyue's Cultivation had only improved from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the ninth. This was only thanks to Liu Xuan; otherwise, given his age and potential, he would likely have remained at the eighth level of Qi Refining until his death.

The reason for such little progress was, on one hand, that his talent was exhausted and he was old, making a Breakthrough difficult. On the other hand, he felt he had no chance of achieving Foundation Establishment, so rather than wasting resources, it was better to save them for his daughter and grandchildren.

Lin Tianyue was almost eighty years old. Even if he reached Qi Refining Perfection by the age of one hundred, there was almost no possibility of achieving a dao foundation.

"How about this, tell your father that as long as his Cultivation reaches Qi Refining Perfection, I promise to give him one foundation establishment pill!" Liu Xuan said after thinking for a while.

As Liu Xuan's second father-in-law and his earliest angel investor, Liu Xuan had not forgotten his kindness in recognizing his talent.

A foundation establishment pill was nothing to Liu Xuan now; it was well worth giving Lin Tianyue a chance at Foundation Establishment.

Of course! The foundation establishment pill he would give could not be one from the System; it would be from the Sect's quota. It could only protect his life during a Breakthrough and would not be of much help to the success rate. Whether he could succeed or not would depend on him.

"Really?!" Lin Anqi held Liu Xuan's hand with a slight squeeze, looking at him with surprise.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Liu Xuan smiled and flicked her nose.

"Thank you, Husband!"

"I'll go tell Father later!"

Lin Anqi quickly kissed Liu Xuan, then hurriedly got up to get dressed.

"Revered Master, Immortal Master Yue has woken up, and she wishes to see you." While Liu Xuan was resting with his eyes closed, the maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Understood!"

Liu Xuan got up and went out, walking towards the small courtyard under the phoenix tree in the West Courtyard.

"Daddy!" "Daddy!"

On the way, his nine-year-old daughter Spirit Phoenix came bouncing over to hold his hand, followed by her twin brother Dao Long.

"Spirit Phoenix, Dao Long, where is your mother?" Liu Xuan asked, holding the two children's hands.

These twins had third-grade Spiritual Roots and were treasured by the whole family. Their mother, Zhang Kexin, usually took them everywhere she went, but now they were only being looked after by a few maids.

"Mother and Aunt Xiao have business, so they told us to play by ourselves."

Spirit Phoenix pulled Liu Xuan along, jumping and skipping. It seemed she was not disappointed by her mother's absence; on the contrary, she was very happy.

Beside her, Dao Long was quiet and did not speak, looking like a well-behaved child; it was impossible to tell if he was happy or disappointed.

Liu Xuan asked the maid nearby about the situation, and after confirming there was nothing major, he led the two children towards the phoenix tree.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Yue Li!"

Letting the maid accompany the children to play nearby, Liu Xuan walked to the jade table and sat opposite her.

"Yesterday... Yesterday I lost my composure. Please do not mind, Junior Brother..."

Yue Li's expression was somewhat awkward and embarrassed. Yesterday, she had actually been quite sober; it was just that the slightly tipsy feeling was very pleasant, so she had not used her magical power to suppress it.

"It is fine!" "It is my honor to be able to drink with you, Senior Sister!"

"Pfft~"

Liu Xuan's serious demeanor successfully made Yue Li laugh. When the cold beauty smiled, she was charming and alluring.

Realizing her persona was cracking, Yue Li immediately composed herself and said indifferently, "I came to find you because I have serious business to discuss!"

"Since you have already become a disciple of my Revered Master, the business between Qing Feng Tower and Guanghui Tower should cooperate properly."

"Your Liu Family's Talismans, Medicinal Pills, Formation Plates, Magical Artifacts... these can also be sold at Qing Feng Tower. I can also help you sell them in other places within the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"The various Materials you need can also be purchased directly from Qing Feng Tower, and I will have my people give you a low price."

These were just preliminary collaborations, beneficial to both sides. Qing Feng Tower had a larger platform, so, all things considered, the Liu Family would benefit more.

"Thank you, Senior Sister. I will send someone to discuss the details with your people later."

Yue Li nodded gently. "Your Liu Family's operations are spread too thin. You must be careful, otherwise, I won't be able to help you when the time comes!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. I will be careful!"

Liu Xuan took a pot of ascension spirit wine from the Storage Pouch in his sleeve and pushed it over. "Senior Sister has helped me so much, and I don't have anything good to give you. Please do not despise this pot of Spirit Wine."
