In the garden, flowers blood in abundance.
Ye Xue spoke with a firm tone.
The Golden Core Ancestor remained silent for a mont, then said, "You and I have no fate."
"Why is there no fate?"
Ye Xue asked unwillingly.
"No fate ans no fate. In the future, you may beco a Golden Core, or even a Nascent Soul, but that’s not enough. We don’t have a connection." The Golden Core Ancestor said blandly.
Ye Xue asked defiantly, "I heard the Ancestor is willing to take a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator with Three Spirit Roots as a disciple. Why are you unwilling to take as a disciple?"
"I investigated that person. His aptitude is quite average, only Three Spirit Roots. His bone age is already sixty-three and he is only at the Second Layer of Foundation Establishnt, very poor. His chance of becoming Purple Mansion is less than one percent, and becoming a Golden Core is less than one percent. What qualifications does he have to be a senior’s disciple?"
The Golden Core Ancestor said, "That is my reason. Cultivating top talents into Golden Core cultivators is nothing much; but cultivating an ordinary cultivator into a Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator is a great achievent."
"I accept disciples based on aptitude, but more on fate."
Ye Xue was sowhat unwilling, but still left.
"Ridiculous."
Watching the departing female cultivator, the Golden Core Ancestor shook his head.
...
While drinking Spirit Wine and eating Spirit Fruit, Lu Xuanji felt his cultivation steadily improving. This improvent wasn’t significant, but with long-term consumption, it steadily increased.
"Indeed, eating Spirit Fruit and Spirit Wine is the right path. As for taking elixirs, that’s the unorthodox way."
While eating Spirit Fruit, Lu Xuanji pondered.
Consuming a certain Spirit Fruit won’t imdiately elevate a cultivator to a minor realm. Instead, it turns into gentle Spiritual Qi, absorbed by the body. With long-term consumption of Spirit Fruit, one’s cultivation will steadily improve.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, many Demon Beasts don’t practice Alchemy, primarily focusing on cultivating Spirit dicine. When the Spirit dicine matures, they consu it whole, and their growth isn’t necessarily slower than humans.
When humans encounter Spirit dicine, they habitually refine it into Elixirs. While the dicinal properties in Elixirs are concentrated and can indeed enhance cultivation, the intense dicinal power can damage the ridians and body. There can also be Elixir Poison sedint.
Click.
At this mont, the door opened, and a woman walked in.
Wearing a silver palace dress, the round collar was edged with gold, adorned with star-like specks that shimred like a river of stars when she moved.
Her figure was tall, her proud figure partly obscured, emanating a noble aura, clearly born of a noble family.
Her face was veiled, her true face unclear, but those deep eyes carried an intoxicating charm.
This was a stunning beauty, and with a re wave of her hand, countless admirers would flock to her.
Her admirers could line up from the south of the city to the north.
The female cultivator examined him, her gaze like looking at a zoo monkey. After a mont, a cold yet soft and charming voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist, may I sit here?"
"As you wish."
Lu Xuanji said, moving aside, continuing to drink his Spirit Wine.
His peripheral vision observed for a mont before collecting his thoughts.
A second-generation cultivator, can’t afford to provoke.
At this mont, the female cultivator sat beside him, less than three feet away.
Lu Xuanji frowned slightly, the distance was too close, sowhat uncomfortable.
A faint fragrance wafted over, with a charming and intoxicating effect.
The female cultivator asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you have a Dao Companion?"
Lu Xuanji reflexively replied, "Yes!"
The female cultivator asked again, "Why did you refuse the Golden Core Ancestor’s offer to be a disciple?"
Lu Xuanji reflexively answered, "Because I don’t want to kneel to a woman."
But just as he answered, he shivered involuntarily, realizing he had been unknowingly hypnotized and spoken his mind. Looking at the female cultivator again, he angrily said, "Senior, being a Purple Mansion Ancestor, why play tricks on a junior?"
Silently hypnotizing a Foundation Establishnt cultivator is sothing ordinary cultivators can’t do.
But for a Purple Mansion Ancestor, it’s not too difficult.
"Fellow Daoist, are you the ’Qilin Child’ of the Lu Family, Lu Xuanji?" the female cultivator asked with a smile.
"I wouldn’t call myself a ’Qilin Child,’ just lucky." Lu Xuanji cautiously replied.
"You’re indeed lucky. I wish to beco the disciple of the Golden Core Ancestor, but she refused . The Ancestor wants to take you as a disciple, but you refused." The female cultivator said, "In other ways, you’re not as good as , but in luck, I’m not as good as you."
Lu Xuanji remained silent, his mind racing.
The female cultivator said, "In Qingshui Commandery, the Ye Family and the Wu Family have intermarried many tis, their ties deep. I wish to matchmake between you and the Ye Family. There are prominent ladies in the Ye Family close to your age, suitable for marriage."
Lu Xuanji felt a headache, "Senior, I already have a Dao Companion."
"No matter, in this world, for a man, having three wives and four concubines is nothing. Only those walking the path of the heartless, emotionless, or supre Dao don’t care about love between n and won. As for us family cultivators, we need to marry more wives and concubines, accept more Dao Companions, to continue the family line. Otherwise, with few descendants, how can the family flourish?"
The female cultivator said, "These matters are beyond your control. Later, I’ll have Ye Liuyun diate."
Lu Xuanji felt uneasy, asking, "Senior, how should I address you? And how should I address the Ye Family Patriarch?"
The female cultivator said, "I am from the main branch of the Ye Family, nad Ye Xue. Ye Liuyun should call small aunt. Back when Ye Liuyun was trying to reach the Purple Mansion Realm, it was thanks to our main branch providing so convenience. An alliance through marriage with the Lu Family is sothing Ye Liuyun would be willing to do!"
Listening, Lu Xuanji recalled so information about the Ye Family.
In the Dan Yang Sect, the Ye Family has a main branch and seven sub-branches.
The main branch has a Golden Core Ancestor in charge, with nine Purple Mansion cultivators. The seven sub-branches separated from the main branch, each having Purple Mansion experts in charge.
The main branch and sub-branches have a close relationship, with the main branch supporting the sub-branches considerably.
Ye Xue seems to be a Purple Mansion Ancestor from the main branch, with significant influence.
"Senior, I am rely a Three Spirit Roots cultivator, only at the Third Layer of Foundation Establishnt, seemingly not worth troubling Senior so greatly." Lu Xuanji said.
"You’re indeed not worth it, but the Golden Core Ancestor values you... I observed you for a long ti and did not see anything special, quite average. But I think the Golden Core Ancestor’s eyesight shouldn’t be off; there must be sothing special." Ye Xue said, scrutinizing Lu Xuanji up and down, shaking her head, "Consider it an investnt. If you enter the Purple Mansion in the future, my Ye Family profits; if you blend into the crowd, my Ye Family loses little."
"Senior’s kindness, I appreciate!"
Lu Xuanji said, "But I still aspire to beco a Purple Mansion Cultivator and, for now, do not wish to lose my Pure Yang Body or to involve myself in romantic entanglents."
"Who has ti to talk about love and romance with you? Talking about love harms interests, here we only discuss personal and family interests, not sentints!"
Ye Xue said coldly, starting to calculate so entanglents of interest, "The Lu Family’s situation isn’t good, the Wu Family eyes your Lu Family like a tiger; even within the Ye Family there are people with malicious intent towards the Lu Family!"
Lu Xuanji frowned, "The rules of the Dan Yang Sect still stand, they don’t dare make a move!"
"Rules are not omnipotent, they can act against the Lu Family within the bounds of the rules." Ye Xue said, "A strong person doesn’t need a knife to kill."
Ye Xue said this, standing up and disappearing.
Lu Xuanji felt a slight toothache.
Not knowing how to evaluate it.
