305: Yunxian was interested in Liu Xuan.
Yun Xian came to the Red Pine Sect this time not for her Junior Sister An Yunxi, but because she was truly interested in Liu Xuan.
She had appeared indifferent in the great hall earlier, but in reality, she had been observing every move Liu Xuan made.
Ever since she took Daocheng as her Disciple, she had received much news about Liu Xuan, and many of these reports had shocked her.
Proficient in pills, artifacts, talismans, and formations; a Genius Sword Cultivator, a Genius in Dual Cultivation, and a Genius in Beast Taming. Even his offspring could contract with Late Foundation Establishment Stage Black Crystal Bees while still in the Qi Refinement Stage!
Could one person really be such a Genius?!!
Was it all a sham, or was there some secret behind it?
From the moment she saw Liu Xuan, Yun Xian had become increasingly interested in him!
After Liu Xuan left the great hall, she had briefly asked her Junior Sister about Liu Xuan and the Liu Family. Getting nothing of substance, she took Yun Yao and An Yunxi for a stroll, happening upon this scene under the phoenix tree.
"Third Senior Sister is talking about Eldest Son, isn't she? He is of course Liu Xuan's child. When I first arrived at White Crane Lake, he was just a little kid!"
"Eldest Son does not have a Spiritual Root, but he is extremely diligent in his Martial Artist cultivation. I didn't expect him to actually Heaven-Defying and achieve a Breakthrough to the Late Qi Refining Stage!"
An Yunxi had met Liu Xuan's first child, Eldest Son, and had watched him grow up over the years. She was very gratified to see his current achievements.
"Eldest Son? He looks very young. How old is he this year?" Yun Xian asked.
"Hmm..." An Yunxi thought for a moment, "He should only be twenty-seven!"
An Yunxi's eyes widened after she said this; she was shocked by her own realization.
A twenty-seven-year-old Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator who was also a Martial Artist without a Spiritual Root—this was a Genius-level figure even in the Beast Taming Sect!
Yun Xian, however, was not overly surprised, as this did not differ much from what her Divine Sense had perceived.
Her Disciple Daocheng had contracted with a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Black Crystal Bee during the early stages of Qi Refining and had Cultivated to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining Perfection by age twenty-six. She had thought she had found a treasure, but it turned out there were even greater experts!
Being twenty-seven, having no Spiritual Root, and breaking through to the Late Qi Refining Stage solely through Martial Artist cultivation was rare even in the entire world.
If that were all, it would be fine; the world is vast and there are always Geniuses. But if two Geniuses were both sons of Liu Xuan, it was certainly not just a matter of good luck.
Yun Xian's Divine Sense swept across the many children of Liu Xuan under the phoenix tree. Although their cultivation levels were not high, compared to their peers, their overall talent was exaggeratedly high!
"Interesting!"
Yun Xian looked at Liu Xuan standing among his children below, a faint smile appearing on her face.
Nighttime.
Fourth Brother Dao Cheng's welcome banquet was held in the North Courtyard. After only half a day, he had recovered from the disappointment of failing to challenge his eldest brother and had started bragging to his brothers again.
Anyway, this wasn't the first or second time he had lost to his eldest brother; he had never won against Eldest Son since he was a child...
"Eldest Brother, tell me honestly, did Father secretly give you extra help?"
Daocheng asked via voice transmission while offering a toast, sitting beside his eldest brother, Eldest Son.
"Nonsense!" Eldest Son was flustered at first, then smiled. "Speaking of extra help, Dad gave all the Black Crystal Bees to you, while I didn't get anything."
"This..."
Daocheng looked embarrassed. He couldn't refute the point about the Black Crystal Bees; half of his achievements today were thanks to them.
"That... that's because I was the first to comprehend the Heavenly Scripture of Beast Taming, so Dad rewarded me!" Daocheng said with a lack of confidence. "Eldest Brother, you've always eaten a lot since you were a kid; you must have been secretly eating good things!"
"Isn't being able to eat a skill in itself?" Eldest Son laughed. "As long as we can eat it, when has Father ever let us go hungry?"
After saying this, he downed a cup of Spirit Wine, then picked up a spirit chicken leg and finished it in a few bites.
Fourth Brother Dao Cheng was dumbfounded. It had been a long time, and his eldest brother was eating more and more!
Could it be that being able to eat was the greatest talent of all?
Thinking of this, he also picked up a roasted chicken leg and started gnawing on it vigorously.
In a crystal pavilion nearby, Liu Xuan was not messing around with the children. He sat on the balcony, watching his children playing below while holding Zi Ling and tasting the unique poison wine she had brewed.
This wine was brewed with various expensive poisons and the purple poison cauldron. It was extremely toxic to others, but it was very helpful for Zi Ling's Cultivation of poison techniques.
Liu Xuan was immune to all poisons. After tasting a sip, he found that it made his body feel numb and quite comfortable, so he treated it like a beverage.
"Husband, it's getting late. Let's Cultivate quickly!"
Zi Ling was anxious! Especially after hearing that the newly arrived Yue Li seemed to be pregnant, she was desperate to conceive a child.
Without her own child, her status in the Liu Family would be unstable, and her weight in Liu Xuan's heart would not be significant. This was a major matter affecting her future!
Liu Xuan looked at the slightly anxious beauty in his arms, and his desire was instantly stirred.
"Little fox! Where did you learn these flirtatious tricks? Did Hu Lingzhao teach you?"
Although Zi Ling had been proactive before, she was noble and magnanimous, rarely engaging in such subtle, suggestive posturing.
"Does Husband not like it~"
Zi Ling hooked her arms around Liu Xuan's neck, her pretty face looking up from below, her charm mixed with a bit of embarrassment and coquettishness.
In three words: soul-capturing!
Liu Xuan casually wrapped his arms around her waist and lowered his head slightly to taste this bright, delicate flower.
"Mmm..."
"Junior Brother Liu is in such high spirits!"
Before the words faded, a cold-looking Daoist nun and a young girl with a Daoist bun appeared on the balcony.
The two walked over and sat down on their own. The Daoist nun's expression was calm, without joy or sorrow, while the young girl was baring her teeth, glaring fiercely at Liu Xuan and Zi Lan.
"Who are you?"
Her good time interrupted, Zi Ling was very angry!
However, this was Liu Xuan's territory, and logically, no one should be able to break in easily. So, she looked at Liu Xuan with an inquiring gaze and did not act rashly.
A flash of helplessness crossed Liu Xuan's face. He cupped his hands and said: "Greetings, Immortal Master Yun Xian, greetings, Fairy Yun Yao!"
After the greeting, he introduced them to Zi Ling: "This is the Late Golden Core Great True Person Yun Xian of the Beast Taming Sect, and this is the Perfected Golden Core Stage Fairy Yun Yao!"
"Late Golden Core Great True Person!!"
The slight anger on Zi Ling's face vanished instantly. She quickly stood up from Liu Xuan's arms, cupped her hands, and saluted: "Junior Zi Ling pays respects to the two Immortal Masters!"
Yun Xian and Yun Yao ignored Zi Ling, only staring at Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan felt his scalp tingle under their gaze. He really wanted to use the Love Gu on her regardless of the consequences to avoid her suddenly attacking him.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Xuan did not act impulsively. He sat up straight and said sternly: "I wonder why the two Seniors are looking for me?"
Yun Xian took out a Beast Taming Bag from her body. With a flash of light, a huge tortoise Yao Beast appeared on the ground.
"Myriad Longevity Black Tortoise!"
Liu Xuan was stunned! How could this guy be in Yun Xian's hands?!
The Myriad Longevity Black Tortoise grew too slowly and was still only at the Late Qi Refining Stage, making it particularly useless, so Liu Xuan had left it to sleep at the bottom of White Crane Lake. As time passed, he had forgotten about it and hadn't brought it back to the Sect...
