Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 290 Sister
"senior!"

"Senior Zhu!"

The Xi siblings could not hide their excitement and bowed respectfully.

"Ah."

Zhu Ju nodded:

"I, Zhu, have come from afar. The Ten Thousand Mountains have undergone many changes. I must thank you two young friends for pointing the way. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would have taken to find my sect."

"You're too kind, senior," Xi Chen said respectfully.

"It is our blessing to be able to help our senior, especially since our senior has saved our lives."

"..."

"senior!"

He gritted his teeth and knelt down with a thud.
"I beg you to accept me as your disciple, senior. I am willing to serve you like a slave and do my best to serve you."

"Pfft!"

Xi Youyue, who was standing to the side, blinked and then knelt down on the ground, kowtowing her head to the stone slab.

The two men collided with a loud thud, as if the stone slabs were about to crack.

"You want to become my disciple?" Zhu Ju smiled.

“I remember you seemed to have sworn to join the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.”

"With your talent, not to mention the Xuanqing Sect, most of the immortal sects in the Immortal Alliance would accept you as a disciple. The Mingxu Sect has fallen to this state, so it may not be a good choice."

"Senior." Xi Chen looked up, his face flushed.

"In the past, I was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Since meeting you, senior, I have realized what it means to be an enlightened person. I am so grateful to be able to become your disciple. The Xuanqing Immortal Sect... can also make way for you."

"Haha..." Zhu Ju laughed loudly:
"You little rascal, if you can't say flattering words, then don't. Your eyes are darting around like a thief."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Xi Chen did.

As the number one sect in the Immortal Alliance, Xuanqing Immortal Sect has one of the three Nascent Soul cultivators in the Immortal Alliance, and more than ten Golden Core Grandmasters. Such a behemoth is far beyond the reach of Mingxu Sect.

Some choices.

Anyone with a brain would choose the Xuanqing Immortal Sect.

Not to mention that the Mingxu Sect has long since declined, even in its heyday it could not compare to the Xuanqing Sect.

"senior."

Xi Chen scratched his head and chuckled dryly:

"Although the Xuanqing Immortal Sect is good, it is not easy to get in. Moreover, after entering, one must pass various tests to learn the true teachings. The sect has many disciples, and resources are scarce. With my personality and no powerful backing, even if I join the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, it will be difficult for me to achieve anything."

"It would be better to become a disciple of a senior."

"Heh..." Zhu Ju shook his head slightly:
Ultimately, it all comes down to interests.

"Senior," Xi Chen said hastily, his face pale.

"Since meeting you, senior, I have felt very close to you and sincerely wish to become your disciple."

"Whether it's sincerity or self-interest, it doesn't matter," Zhu Ju thought for a moment and said slowly.

“Zhu originally did not accept disciples, but now he does, though he doesn’t have much time to teach them.”

"If you are really willing to become my disciple, you should be prepared that you may not get any benefits."

He took in four disciples in the other world, among whom Qingfeng and Mingyue could be considered to have received some inheritance.

The other two are just figureheads.

Same here.

He has too many secrets to tell and doesn't have enough time to teach his apprentices.

"Master!" Xi Chen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly kowtowed.
"Being able to become your disciple is enough for me, how could I dare to ask for anything more?"

"Master, please bow to me!"

"Ah."

Zhu Juren allowed Xi Chen to kowtow nine times before gently raising his hand, and an invisible force lifted him up:
"From now on, you will be my first disciple in the Mingxu Sect. I will have Junior Nephew Ma register you and change you into the clothes of an inner disciple. You can only become a core true disciple when you reach the late stage of the Innate Realm."

"Yes."

Xi Chen was extremely respectful and attentive.

“Master.” Xi Youyue blinked:

"Then where am I?"

“You…” Zhu Ju smiled:

"You haven't reached the Innate Realm yet, so be an outer disciple for now. We'll talk about it when you're ready to advance to the Innate Realm."

"Oh!" Xi Youyue nodded somewhat reluctantly.

The main reason Zhu Ju took in Xi Chen, or rather the Xi siblings, was that their good character was the primary reason.

Second.

Since he had no foundation in the Mingxu Sect, he needed someone to help him. For example, the brewing business certainly couldn't be controlled by Xu Hanzhi alone.

It's not a matter of distrust.

But just in case.

Xi Chen's decision to become Zhu Ju's disciple was also due to their compatible temperaments and the fact that he needed guidance from a Dao Foundation cultivator.

The key is.

Although the Mingxu Sect has declined, its legacy remains strong.

Joining another immortal sect will certainly prevent you from learning top-tier inheritances in a short period of time, and it will also be difficult to find a famous master.

The two hit it off immediately.

*
To resist the invasion of the demonic forces, the Immortal Alliance established a defensive line stretching thousands of miles in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Each sect has a garrison along the defensive line.

When one is in trouble, help comes from all sides.

There is a large market every hundred miles between each settlement to facilitate trade among cultivators.

Among them, the markets near the two major immortal sects, Xuanqing Immortal Sect and Tianyu Immortal Sect, are the largest and most prosperous.

Seeking Immortals Pavilion.

A shop specializing in the sale of various refining materials, and also an asset of the Immortal Seeking Sect.

"I recently heard that a fellow Daoist from the Mingxu Sect has returned from the East Sea. I have been wanting to visit him, but I have been too busy to go."

Job emerged from behind the counter, smiling and bowing:

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Zhu would come on his own. This is truly a cause for celebration."

"Fellow Daoist is too kind," Zhu Ju said.
"I'm here to sell some materials."

"Oh!" Qiao Bai's eyes lit up:
"Although the cultivation world in the East Sea is not as prosperous as that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sea is vast and full of rare treasures. Fellow Daoist, you must have gained a lot from your trip to the East Sea, right?"

Zhu Ju's expression froze. He had indeed reaped a great harvest, his storage bag was almost overflowing, and he even had a magical artifact as a spoils of war.

how...

They were all exhausted during their escape.

In particular, the magical artifact called the Trident, when used in the sea, is comparable in power to a mid-grade magical artifact.

result……

When Zhu Ju was holding it, he encountered a third-tier demonic beast. The beast attacked him like a madman and chased him for half a year. No matter how he tried to escape, the beast could catch up with him soon after.

If Zhu Ju hadn't been able to escape to another world, he would have perished long ago; even so, he was still in grave danger.

It was only discovered at the very end.

The materials used to forge the trident were actually the spine and horn of that monster's own kind, and it was highly likely that they were even related by blood. It wasn't until he threw the trident into the deep sea that he managed to escape from the monster's clutches.

He gained nothing from that experience; instead, he wasted a lot of resources.

"Don't mention it."

With a sigh, Zhu Ju gently waved his hand and took out a dark, grimy piece of iron from his storage bag:
"This is the item. Fellow Daoist, could you give me an estimate?"

"Oh!" Qiao Bai's eyes lit up:
"Magnetic meteorite iron, this is a good thing."

He rubbed his hands together, and a burst of light emanated from his palms, sweeping back and forth across the magnetic meteorite.

"Top grade!"

"After rough refining, some Yuan Magnetic Spirit Patterns were engraved inside, but unfortunately they are not complete."

Qiao Bai shook his head with a regretful expression:

“Fellow Daoist Zhu, this item should be half of a giant sword. If it were a complete giant sword, it would be even more rare.”

"Yes," Zhu Ju asked.
How many spirit stones can the Immortal Seeking Pavilion produce?

“Hmm…” Qiao Bai thought for a moment before saying:
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, a fellow Daoist from the Xuanqing Immortal Sect is currently collecting Yuan Magnetic materials for refining artifacts. This item should meet his requirements, and I, Qiao, can offer two hundred mid-grade spirit stones to purchase it."

"Fellow Daoist, you can ask around elsewhere; the offer will never exceed this price."

Zhu Ju's eyes lit up, and he smiled:

"No need, just sell it to Xunxianlou!"

He had already inquired at other places, and the price was at most one hundred and sixty mid-grade spirit stones.

The price they offered was indeed quite high!

…………

Stepping out of the Immortal Seeking Tower, Zhu Ju touched his storage bag, which had bulged again, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Indeed, money gives heroes courage."

"It wasn't for nothing that I put in so much effort to smash the Yuan Magnetic Heavy Sword in two; it finally relieved my financial crisis."

Unless there is absolutely no other way, I believe no one would disassemble and sell their own belongings.

Looking at the sky, Zhu Ju's expression suddenly became extremely complicated. He sighed softly before transforming into a streak of light and soaring into the sky.

Shortly after.

The area near the outer sect of the Tianyu Immortal Sect.

Zhu Ju descended from the sky, dissipating his escape light, and bowed to the gatekeeper of a manor:
"Zhu Ju, the Ming Dynasty's Emperor Xuzong, has come to pay a visit."

The gatekeeper was just an ordinary mortal who had never encountered a Dao Foundation cultivator descending from the sky. He was immediately stunned and only came to his senses after a moment. He hurriedly opened the gate and roared inside, disregarding his own rudeness.

"Senior Daoji has come to visit!"

"..."

"Wow..."

The entire manor was instantly thrown into turmoil. Before long, a group of people rushed into the front yard, and an old man with a cane walked out from the crowd, trembling.

Upon seeing Zhu Ju, the old man's cloudy eyes flashed with a dazzling light, and his voice trembled as he spoke:
"uncle?"

uncle?

Everyone was stunned.

"Lu Di?" Zhu Ju looked at the old man in front of him, his expression complicated, and sighed before nodding.
"it's me."

"Uncle!" The old man trembled and wailed.

"It really is my uncle!"

…………

"My uncle disappeared years ago, and my mother was grieving for months. She then contracted a serious illness. Fortunately, my father obtained a miraculous medicine from the sect to alleviate her pain, but she did not last many years."

Lu Di was helped to sit in a chair, looking at the wisps of smoke rising from the incense in front of him, and said slowly:
“I remember that year I had just turned eighteen, my brother was sixteen and my sister was only ten, and then we lost our mother.”

The older people get, the more nostalgic they seem to become.

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Second Aunt was very good to us, but unfortunately we were all useless. I only achieved the Innate Realm at the age of fifty, and I only opened one aperture in my entire life."

"My younger brother was more talented than me, but he encountered a demonic sorcerer and died at the age of thirty."

"My sister married into the Huang family. Thanks to my second aunt's care, she lived a decent life. She passed away from illness last year. It's a pity she left so early and didn't get to see you, Uncle."

"..."

Lu Di mumbled on and on, recounting events from the past, occasionally bowing his head and wiping away tears.

"A few years after my mother left, my father joined the Immortal Sect's patrol team. He was injured in an accident and retired not long after, and he also passed away along with my mother."

"Since then, Second Sister has been depressed and unhappy. She has worked hard for the family for several years and then passed away."

Zhu Ju's older sister married Lu Pu, an elite member of an inner disciple of the Tianyu Immortal Sect who was part of a gang established by a mortal.

Lu Pu later married Wan Wenying, who was Lu Di's second wife.

after that.

When the demonic forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty raged, his family fled to the Ten Thousand Mountains, only to miss Zhu Ju, who was searching for them, and they never saw each other again.

Sixty years have passed.

Unbeknownst to them, Zhu Shuang, Lu Pu, and Wan Wenyin were no longer alive, and even their descendants were few in number.

It sounds easy, but just thinking about the many separations and deaths is heart-wrenching.

"call……"

Zhu Ju closed his eyes and said slowly:
Where are my sister's and brother-in-law's graves?

"It's in the back mountain," Lu Di said.

"Because of the fear that the demonic cultivators of the Heavenly Corpse Sect would refine corpses, they were cremated after death and only made into cenotaphs."

“I’ll take my uncle with me.”
