Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 647 - 585 Leaving Central State_2

The items at the Nine Tripod Pavilion are generally a bit more expensive, but the variety here is complete, and many items that are scarce outside can be bought here. Not just that, selling here is also the safest.

In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, many shops and businesses are not safe. You might buy something one moment and the next you’re ambushed by a powerful figure—there are many such cases.

But Nine Tripod Pavilion guarantees that they absolutely do not leak customer information, ensuring absolute safety.

This is something many shops cannot do.

After spending money to buy some items like the Primordial Spirit Pill, Divine Will Pawnshop, Nascent Soul Pill, and so on, and a scroll of notes from a Refining Void Great Power, costing a total of 2.3 million Spirit Stones, he left shortly after.

...

Upon exiting the Nine Tripod Pavilion, he looked around.

With a flickering body, Lu Xuanji disappeared.

About a month later, he left the Central State and entered the endless wilderness, heading toward the Eastern Wilderness.

A golden light flashed beneath his feet, moving at a very high speed, like light reflected on water.

After traveling for three years, he reached the territory of Jin Country, which was already part of the Eastern Wilderness.

After traveling for another two months, he entered the Chu Country territory.

"Finally home!"

Lu Xuanji looked at everything at home, his mind fluctuating involuntarily.

No matter how good the outside world is, it can’t compare to home.

Better a handful of native soil than thousands of gold from foreign lands.

Leaving Chu Country for Central State took about three hundred years; in Central State, the competition was fierce, but resources and treasures were plentiful. Yet, it was never as affectionate as the Eastern Wilderness, nor as nostalgic as Chu Country.

Finally, after yearning day and night, he returned to Chu Country.

With flickering steps, he returned to the Lu Family.

The Lu Family’s residence was expanding, and Spiritual Mountains were also expanding, looking vastly different from when he left.

From afar, the peaks were perilously steep and towering, with strange rocks everywhere; mist circled, ethereal and ever-changing like a fairyland; rivers flowed, winding through each peak; waterfalls fell, descending like silver curtains. Seventy-two peaks stood there, each with a different form—some exuded intense killing intent, some had alchemical auras rising, some were filled with the breath of Spirit Medicine, others emitted destructive flames...

Each peak beneath drew on a Spirit Vein, with Sixth-Grade Killing Arrays laid atop.

The seventy-two Sixth-Grade Killing Arrays combined to unleash power comparable to a Seventh-Grade Killing Array, enough to hold even a Void Refining Cultivator at bay for a moment.

Upon arriving at the Lu Family, Lu Xuanji sensed waves of powerful auras, with at least thirty Divinity Transformation cultivators in the Lu Family, not to mention the three thousand Nascent Soul cultivators, and countless Golden Core cultivators, Purple Mansion cultivators, and others.

"Divinity Transformation Cultivators are becoming commonplace!"

Lu Xuanji sighed.

With Spiritual Qi revival ongoing, the Spiritual Qi in Chu Country had risen more than three layers since he left.

With the rise in Spiritual Qi, cultivators’ training speed accelerated, and the quantities of various Spirit Medicines, Spirit Grasses, and Spiritual Ores also increased dramatically.

The difficulty for cultivators to level up decreased, and the number of cultivators increased in batches.

...

As he approached the Grand Array, waves of Divine Thought scanned him. Once it was confirmed he wasn’t an enemy, the Grand Array slowly opened.

Upon returning to the Cave Mansion, he opened the Cave Mansion, which was full of dust.

He employed magic to clean the Cave Mansion.

Quickly, the Cave Mansion became spotless and mirror-like.

Just then, at the entrance of the Cave Mansion, a glow flickered, and a woman walked in.

Her eyes were bright and enchanting, teeth like seashells, eyebrows curved, an apricot mouth, skin like ice, bones like jade, graceful and elegant, wearing a blue dress, her snug clothes wrapped around a graceful figure, exuding noble elegance with every movement.

It was Qinglian!

Qinglian said, "You are back?"

Lu Xuanji asked, "I’m back, but how is Xi’Er?"

Qinglian sighed, "You ask me; I still want to ask you! How exactly is Xi’Er? In my perception, she is in Nirvana, in a state of half-life, half-death. Her condition is peculiar, appearing very strong, but also very weak, fragile to the point of dying."

Lu Xuanji said, "I don’t know either. We got separated when encountering a strong enemy!"

Saying this, he recounted the events that happened in the Feathered Transformation Grotto Heaven.

Qinglian slightly frowned, saying, "Let it go; you can’t be blamed for this. She is in a secretive place, undergoing transformation. If successful, she can become a Void Refining Great Power in one move. If she fails, she will turn to ashes. She’s fighting for her life!"

No one understands oneself better than oneself.

As the negative persona of Jin Xi, Qinglian is quite familiar with the true form.

With the revival of Spiritual Qi, her true form began to fall behind, and for the sake of fate, she had to risk her life.

Thinking this, Qinglian said, "Husband, I must also retreat into seclusion to prepare. If successful, I’ll certify to Dao Refining Void. If I fail, I’ll turn to ashes!"

"Qinglian!"

Lu Xuanji thought of something, directly stepping forward and holding her hand, saying, "I’ll give this to you!"

Saying this, he took out an Inquiry Pill and handed it to her.

Qinglian looked at the Inquiry Pill, wanting to refuse.

Because it wasn’t much use to her.

But eventually, she accepted it because rejecting it would hurt someone’s pride, so she took it.

Qinglian took the Elixir, unleashing a slight aura emanating a vast power, smiling as she said, "Husband, I am a Half-Step Void Refining Cultivation. Not long ago, I ranked 18th on the Hidden Dragon List. The ranking is not high, but I’m still considered an unparalleled genius."

"I have a high probability of stepping into Void Refining! Moreover, my main body is Qinglian, a Seventh-Grade Spiritual Treasure, with a very small bottleneck!"

Lu Xuanji said, "Even so, be cautious!"

Qinglian said, "I understand!"

Saying this, the two leaned on each other, embracing each other intimately.

Only by being close together can they ease their inner restlessness and unease.

As they got close, their expressions changed, and mutual flames ignited.

Soon, they no longer suppressed each other, beginning an intimate embrace.

...

About three days later, a refreshed Qinglian felt happy.

Cultivation steadily progressed, Mental Realm enhanced.

Feeling indescribably comfortable, she looked at the man on the bed, wanting to say something but bit her lip, saying nothing.

Instead, she turned and disappeared away.

If she stayed longer, she feared they would be so enamored they’d forget themselves.

Boom boom boom!

As the Cave Mansion reverbed, it was completely shut.

Jin Xi was in seclusion, aiming for the Void Refining Realm.

Looking at the closed Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji silently said, "Qinglian, you must strive too!"

...

On the hall seat, sat a man and a woman.

The man was handsome and dashing, but his eyes carried traces of time, as if he had experienced countless changes and events, sitting there calmly and elegantly; facing him was a woman as beautiful as snow, with cloud-like hair, a shapely figure, a straight nose, and sensual lips with an elegant arc.

Her figure was exquisitely captivating, and her chest stood out, exuding a charming allure.

A light blue dress accentuated her perfect figure, exuding a mature essence, with silver earrings adorning her white and pink earlobes.

A pair of sparkling eyes, as brilliant as stars, made her look stunningly impressive, breathtakingly beautiful.

The handsome man was Lu Xuanji.

The peerlessly charming woman was Ning Xue.

Lu Xuanji sat there, listening and sipping tea; Ning Xue held a ledger, detailing the situation of the Lu family, explaining the layout of Chu Country in the past three hundred years, and summarizing the situations in adjacent countries.

Many things, some might not care about, but Ning Xue had to.

In former times, she was just a humble maid, a marginal figure in the Lu Family.

Later, the Lu Family’s matriarch, Ye Wanyi, passed away; the two young masters established themselves in Wu Country, Yue Country, and other places. As for Jin Xi and Qinglian, with greater prestige and influence, they were preoccupied with cultivation and indifferent to external matters.

The contemporary Hong Fu also died amidst disaster.

Under various influences and shifts in structure, Ning Xue gradually became the ruler of the Lu Family.

Many Lu Family cultivators, when they see her, have to call her ’ancestor.’

Though delighted, Ning Xue did not forget her roots. She knew the real authority lay with her master; she was merely managing temporarily.
