In the cave mansion, the Luminous Pearl emitted a bright glow.
On the bed, Lu Xuanji spoke of so secrets, talking about so matters.
Ye Wanyi listened, and said softly: "Golden Core Ancestor, he’s really good to you?"
"Golden Core Ancestor gave our Lu Family protection!"
"Is it just the grace of protection?"
"Ahem!"
"I want more!"
As Ye Wanyi spoke, the battle erupted once more.
It wasn’t until much later that the battle ended.
...
In the evening, in the cave mansion, Lu Xuanji was drinking tea.
The tea was called Enlightennt Tea.
It can be used to assist in Enlightennt, and also to calm a cultivator’s spirit.
Standing below were two n, one in a blue robe and one in a black robe; they were his two sons, Lu Xian and Lu Fan.
After leaving ho for thirty years, upon returning, the two sons were already twenty-seven years old.
Having not witnessed their infancy, childhood, and adolescence, he directly witnessed their youth, which felt a bit strange.
But after the initial surprise, it beca calm.
Silently observing his two sons, he pondered how to be a good father. Should he play the role of a kind father or a strict one? The role-playing was sowhat difficult.
"Fan’Er, you step back first, I want to have a word with your brother," Lu Xuanji said.
"Yes!"
Lu Fan nodded and bowed before retiring.
In the cave mansion, only the father and son remained.
"Xian’Er, how have these years been?" Lu Xuanji asked.
"Father, everything is fine!"
Lu Xian replied cautiously.
"Is there a girl you like?" Lu Xuanji asked.
"No!" Lu Xian said: "I am focused on the Great Dao, with no ti for romantic entanglents!"
"While cultivation is important, love is also sothing not to be neglected!" Lu Xuanji said: "If there is a girl you like, you can bring her here and let your mother and I check her out!"
"I understand!"
Lu Xian nodded.
"Tell about your years? Start from the small things... share with your father!" Lu Xuanji asked.
"In my younger years, Mother was busy handling clan affairs and enhancing her cultivation. Aunt Wu Chen mainly took care of us, and the Grand Elder also cared for us. At the age of six, I was found to possess a Celestial Spirit Root, which was Fire Spirit Root. But under Mother’s advice, we announced publicly that I was of Fire and Earth Dual Spirit Root."
"Then, I began a three-year enlightennt period. The Grand Elder personally taught us and took us to the mortal world for three years. The candied hawthorn was delicious, and I still want to eat it now!"
"At the age of nine, I reached the first level of Qi Refining, began cultivation, while completing clan tasks, and started tending the clan’s spirit fields, consistently cultivating White Sun Rice, becoming familiar with the properties of Spirit dicine..."
Lu Xian recounted his childhood, talking about various things.
The Lu Family was established for about a thousand years and already had familiar thods for training descendants, preventing them from becoming arrogant, and ensuring they beca qualified cultivators adapted to the harsh environnt of cultivating immortality.
Lu Xian was the family’s first Celestial Spirit Root.
For him, the family still followed the rules without special treatnt, just with a little more resources.
Three years of basic education fostered literacy and moral shaping.
Then it was ti to farm, managing two hundred mu of spirit fields, identifying various herbs, dicinal materials, etc., everything was done according to the rules.
During this ti, he was also arranged to work in so shops in the marketplace as a shop assistant for five years, continually enhancing his experience and knowledge. He wasn’t expected to be extrely knowledgeable, but he needed to avoid being naive and gullible.
Over these years, both Ye Wanyi and the Grand Elder suppressed Lu Xian’s breakthroughs.
In their plans, Lu Xian could achieve Foundation Establishnt by forty, Purple Mansion by a hundred, and Golden Core by two hundred, with no need to rush, focusing on a solid foundation.
"Xian’Er, not only do you have a Celestial Spirit Root, but you’ve also inherited the Pure Yang Dao Body from your father, your aptitude is excellent. Only your aunt Ye Feixue can compare to you!" Lu Xuanji smiled.
"Aunt, is she really that strong?"
Lu Xian asked curiously.
He had an aunt nad Ye Feixue, who seed to have mysteriously disappeared.
"Her aptitude is very good," Lu Xuanji said, "I want to tell you a story about an extraordinary strong person from the Demon Race with Phoenix bloodline, nad the Undying Celestial Emperor, who nearly proved to be an Immortal. He had a son nad the Celestial Prince. Before his ascension, the Undying Celestial Emperor gave the Celestial Prince two choices: one with eight divine generals protecting the Dao, accompanied by the Immortal Celestial Empress, along with the Phoenix Immortality Elixir, Enlightennt Ancient Tea, and various resources; and the other to wield the Celestial Saber, shattering the ancient dicine and resources, relying on the saber to carve out a bright future!"
"Xian’Er, if you were the Celestial Prince, what would you choose?"
Poor Celestial Prince, another example taken out by Lu Xuanji to be criticized.
Lu Xian said: "I would choose the second option, relying on the Celestial Saber to carve out a bright future!"
Lu Xuanji asked: "Would you really choose like this?"
"Truly!"
"If you can choose like that, it ans you’ve learned to be hypocritical and double-standard, which isn’t bad!" Lu Xuanji said: "A child straightforwardly wants things. Only adults are hypocritical and double-standard, saying they love only one person while turning and getting close to another female cultivator."
"They claim righteousness but act more wickedly than anyone."
"If I were the Celestial Prince, I would agree verbally to take the second path but as soon as my father left, I’d claim the Immortal Elixir and treasures, and persuade the eight divine generals to pledge their loyalty. Children see only two choices, picking one. When grown, they realize both are possible."
"Xian’Er, do you understand?"
Lu Xian, puzzled, said: "I understand!"
Lu Xuanji asked: "If you were to choose again, which would you pick?"
Lu Xian said: "I would still choose the second one."
"Then, you would be beaten to death!" Lu Xuanji sneered: "The Celestial Prince chose the first, but later, the First erged and subdued all. The Immortal Daoist was suppressed, the Immortal Celestial Empress fled with the eight divine generals, taking most resources. In the end, the Celestial Prince was left with only a few minions, scarce resources, and no Emperor’s Weapon, yet this Celestial Prince was super courageous, challenging the Human Race, battling Ye Hei, trying to carve out a bright future with a celestial saber! Eventually, he was besieged by Ye Hei, Ji Zi, Black Dog, Holy Prince, and others without fair play, and thus the Celestial Prince was killed!"
"Would you still make the second choice?"
"Father ans that having a strong backing is important!" Ye Xian realized.
"Yes! Without strong backing and wandering around, you’ll end up dead. Ye Hei said the Celestial Prince lacked in ntal realm. But in reality, things like the invincible Daoxin are the least valuable."
"Losing several tis, experiencing more, can improve the ntal realm. Staying alive fosters an invincible Daoxin."
"If at the ti, the Celestial Prince had strong backing, being saved by a quasi-emperor divine general, after such trials, he would have improved his ntal realm and beco Ye Hei’s formidable enemy."
"Unfortunately, his backing wasn’t strong, and having lost, he died with no future."
"Similarly, the Golden Maiden lost to Ye Hei, but with strong backing, she survived defeat and eventually beca a quasi-emperor."
Lu Xuanji said: "Why did Ye Feixue have to leave the clan? Because, her exceptional talent, having inherited the Pure Yang Dao Body, made her a target. If she hadn’t left, she might have brought disaster to the Lu Family. Fortunately, not long ago, Golden Core Ancestor ascended to Nascent Soul, providing protection. Without that, your talent being a Celestial Spirit Root with a Pure Yang Dao Body would have made you an easy target for possession or being made into a puppet! But thankfully, this is less of a risk now."
