I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 119: All the past is gone, the only main line
"This is the Questioning Immortal Mirror. I will then activate it. Stand in front of it and imagine the appearance of your Taoist partner."

Lan Qingxian turned to look at Lai Yang, motioning him to stand in front of the Questioning Immortal Mirror, and spoke in a cold tone.

Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, then walked forward to the front of the Questioning Immortal Mirror.

The next moment, Lai Yang was slightly shocked when he saw the ancient mirror in front of him, which was filled with mysterious aura, reflecting his true appearance.

Lan Qingxian glanced at the person in the mirror and spoke slowly in a voice like the sound of nature:

"Haha, in front of my sect's Immortal Mirror, any disguise will be removed, revealing the truest appearance."

"So it was you who stirred up the storm in the True Dragon Secret Realm, angered the sixth-order earth dragon and made it go berserk, single-handedly killing many masters from various major immortal sects."

"I can't believe you've offended so many immortal sects. Not only did you not find a secluded place to hide, but you even dared to set foot on the land of Zhongzhou alone. You are truly quite courageous."

Seeing that his true face had been exposed, Lai Yang did not show any signs of being overly nervous or panicked. He pretended to be calm and sighed inwardly.

He was still careless. These old foxes in the world of cultivating immortals were so damn cunning.

"Senior Lan, can we start?" Lai Yang said lightly.

No matter what, since we are here, we should at least accomplish our goal.

We’ll talk about what happened next later. Even if Lan Qingxian wanted to deal with him, he was not without a trump card to protect himself.

"Haha, you are quite patient. Let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Qingxian cast a spell to activate the Questioning Immortal Mirror.

In an instant, countless incomprehensible mysterious inscriptions on the Immortal Mirror lit up, and the calm mirror surface emitted powerful waves and ripples, as if presenting a picture.

Lai Yang's mind sketched out Mo Ruyan's figure, his eyes fixed on the huge ancient mirror in front of him.

After a moment, the Wenxian Mirror vibrated slightly, but did not show the imagined picture.

Seeing this, Lai Yang subconsciously turned to look at Lan Qingxian beside him, and asked with a puzzled look: "Senior Lan, what's going on?"

"Strange, how could this happen?" Lan Qingxian also revealed a confused expression. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "The Immortal Mirror isn't responding. There are only two possibilities. First, the person you're looking for isn't in our current world. Second, their body and soul have completely dissipated and annihilated. Therefore, my sect's Immortal Mirror can't lock onto her aura or location."

Hearing this, Lai Yang couldn't help but be surprised.

Mo Ruyan's body and soul were completely dissipated and destroyed?

If Mo Ruyan went to another world, it is not impossible.

However, she is just an ordinary person in the Qi training stage, so it is not too outrageous that a teleportation talisman can directly teleport her out of the world she is in.

You must know that according to all the information Lai Yang knows so far, the only way for cultivators in the current world to leave this world is to successfully overcome the tribulation and ascend to the upper realm.

Ascension is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing. How can an ordinary person like Mo Ruyan withstand the terrifying pressure brought by crossing the boundary?

Coupled with Mo Ruyan's behavior before leaving, she was obviously going to do something dangerous.

Therefore, it is understandable that Lai Yang would be more inclined to believe that Mo Ruyan had passed away.

Lai Yang sighed softly.

Cultivating immortality is to go against the will of heaven. One wrong step will result in no remains of the body and the destruction of the soul.

"I have fulfilled my promise to you, but your Taoist partner no longer exists in this world, and even the Immortal Mirror can't help." Lan Qingxian said coldly.

"I understand. This matter is not the fault of Wenxian Sect." Lai Yang nodded, a look of relief on his face. He turned to look at the two little ones beside him, slowly squatted down, and said in a gentle tone, "Xiao Wen, Xiao Nuan, from now on, you should stay in Wenxian Sect with your master and practice hard. Strive to become powerful cultivators as soon as possible. I will come to see you when I have the chance."

Hearing this, the clever Li Xiaowen immediately realized something was wrong and asked with a puzzled look, "Sir, aren't you staying with us? Where are you going?"

"Sir, are you leaving? Why do you want to leave? Doesn't sir want us anymore?" Li Xiaonuan grabbed the corner of Lai Yang's clothes anxiously and shouted nervously.

"It's not that the master doesn't want you. Listen to me, Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan, your spiritual roots are very talented. You will definitely become the top cultivators on the continent in the future. Only by joining the Upper Immortal Sect can you receive the best training and growth. If you follow me, I won't be able to train you. It's simply a waste of your talent for cultivation."

"Xiao Wen, don't you want to gain powerful strength to protect your sister?"

"Xiao Nuan, don't you want to protect your sister and never be bullied again?"

"If that's the case, your master is one of the most powerful cultivators in Zhongzhou. If you practice diligently with her, you will surely be able to realize your wishes. Isn't that wonderful?"

Lai Yang patiently and earnestly spoke.

There was no other way. Lai Yang’s own cultivation resources were not enough, so how could he possibly cultivate two extreme-level spiritual roots?

Besides, he is not a teacher. At most, he can throw some resources and some skills to them and let them practice on their own. The benefits they will get are definitely far less than letting them join the Wenxian Sect.

If they were just mediocre in talent, Lai Yang wouldn't mind letting the two sisters stay by his side and live a stable and wealthy life.

But since I have discovered that they possess the qualifications of extremely high-level spiritual roots, it would be too selfish to force them to stay by my side.

Moreover, Lai Yang couldn't be sure when his enemies would come to visit him. Would he be forced to wander around the world with the two little ones and live a life of displacement?

Lai Yang's golden finger meant that he couldn't be as reckless and arrogant as other time travelers, and couldn't easily escape from trouble by using the system when he encountered difficulties, at least not yet.

"No, no, no, please don't leave us, sir. Xiao Nuan doesn't want to be a cultivator anymore. Please don't leave, sir."

Li Xiaonuan hugged Lai Yang tightly, her cute little face full of reluctance and sadness. For a moment, tears streamed down her face, and she cried like a pear blossom in the rain.

Immediately afterwards, even Li Xiaowen walked up to him with red eyes and grabbed him, as if he was afraid that he would disappear from his sight in the next second.

"You clearly said you wouldn't abandon me and my sister. Sir, you can't lie. Don't go. Please don't abandon us."

As she spoke, Li Xiaowen couldn't help crying, and crystal tears fell down.

Lai Yang suddenly became a little at a loss.

He thought of letting Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan join the Wenxian Sect so that they could receive better training.

By the way, he could also take this opportunity to borrow the Wenxian Mirror from the Wenxian Sect to find Mo Ruyan's whereabouts, but he did not take the thoughts of the two little ones into consideration.

He didn't expect them to be so dependent on him.

Seeing this scene, Lan Qingxian frowned slightly.

At this time, Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan had deeper feelings for Lai Yang.

If she forcibly separated the three of them, it might plant a thorn in the hearts of the two children, which would be detrimental to their future practice.

What's worse, it would be troublesome if this matter turned into their inner demons.

Lan Qingxian already considered the two of them her disciples, so she naturally considered them. Actually, this wasn't a difficult issue to resolve. Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan were still young, and it was natural for them to subconsciously cling to those around them who treated them well.

As long as they stay in the Wenxian Sect, they will get to know more people, see more things, and see a wider world, and then they can control the number of times they meet.

As time goes by, their relationship with Lai Yang might gradually fade away, so there is no need to worry about demons growing in their hearts and affecting their cultivation.

"Well, you guys stay in Wenxian Sect and practice with Master. I'll come back to see you every once in a while, okay?"

"No, no, no! I don't want to stay in the Wenxian Sect. If you want to leave, I want to leave too."

Lai Yang looked at the two little ones who were willful and disobedient, and was at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, Lan Qingxian spoke, saying calmly, "Since they like you so much, for their sake, I will allow you to stay in the Wenxian Sect temporarily. With your strength, you are more than enough to be an elder in the Wenxian Sect. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lai Yang looked at Lan Qingxian in surprise and said, "Since Senior Lan already knows my identity, aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble for the Wenxian Sect?"

"Haha, you overestimate yourself, or you underestimate the strength of my Wenxian Sect. Since I dare to take you in, I will naturally not be afraid of the so-called troubles behind you. As long as you are willing to stay in Wenxian Sect, for their sake, I will protect your safety." Lan Qingxian showed a look of disdain on his face and said very confidently.

Lai Yang looked hesitant and looked down at Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan.

"Okay, in that case, I will stay in the Wenxian Sect for a while. Thank you, Senior Lan, for taking me in." Lai Yang nodded and said to Lan Qingxian.

"No need to thank me, thank these two children. From now on, you will go and guard the medicinal field of the Wenxian Sect."

Lan Qingxian thought of sending Lai Yang to guard the medicine field and become a medicine field elder.

The position of the Medicine Field Elder is leisurely, so he is responsible for guarding the medicine field. The medicine field is usually taken care of by special disciples of the sect, so he does not need to do it himself and has basically nothing to do.

It will not interfere with the internal affairs of the Wenxian Sect, and there are also many benefits to be gained from it.

Just consider it as a reward for him bringing two disciples with top-level spiritual roots to the Wenxian Sect.

As long as Lai Yang doesn't go too far and do anything that seriously damages the interests of the Wenxian Sect.

For the sake of the two disciples with extreme spiritual roots, Lan Qingxian would choose to turn a blind eye.

Lai Yang didn't know what Lan Qingxian was thinking. If the other party asked him to guard the medicine field, then he could use his free time to refine pills to speed up his cultivation.

Just in case, you should ask clearly.

"Senior Lan, besides guarding the medicine field, is there anything else you need me to do?" Lai Yang asked.

"You just need to manage the medicinal fields and prevent them from being damaged. You don't need to worry too much about other things. The medicinal fields under your jurisdiction will be taken care of by someone else."

"Okay, follow me. I will take you there myself."

After saying that, Lan Qingxian waved his hand and took Lai Yang and the other two away from the place where the Wenxian Mirror was and flew to a medicinal field in the Wenxian Sect.

The Wenxian Sect is extremely large, and one cannot even see the end of it at a glance. Hundreds and thousands of mountains are almost all filled with the aura of numerous immortal cultivators.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the sect is several times higher than that in the outside world.

The Wenxian Sect is worthy of being one of the leading forces among the hundred upper immortal sects.

Just from the layout, you can feel its profound extraordinaryness.

Soon, they came to a hot fruit forest with extremely rich fire-attributed spiritual energy.

In the hot orchard, figures are transferring spiritual energy to the fruit trees and picking the ripe fruits that are shaped like flames.

"It's so hot here. What are those people doing?" Li Xiaonuan said curiously while looking at the scenery below.

"This place is called Yuanyang Mountain. It is one of the intermediate medicinal fields within the Wenxian Sect. It mainly produces the third-grade natural treasure Yuanyang Fruit. Yuanyang Mountain must supply the Wenxian Sect with 500 Yuanyang Fruits every month. The rest of the Yuanyang Fruit income belongs to you. If the number of Yuanyang Fruits is insufficient, you must find a way to make up for it yourself, or pay the spiritual stone according to the price. From now on, you will be responsible for guarding this place. I will have someone deliver your elder token to you later. Any questions?"

Yuanyang Fruit is one of the main ingredients for refining the fourth-level Pure Yang Pill.

Under normal circumstances, the value of a third-level Yuanyang Fruit fluctuates around one hundred spirit stones.

He has to supply 500 Yuanyang Fruits to the Wenxian Sect every month, and the rest are his.

Yuanyang Mountain is covered with Yuanyang fruit trees. If managed well, one can imagine how huge the profits will be.

Lan Qingxian actually arranged such a position for him. Was it out of gratitude, or was there something else?

Anyway, five hundred Yuanyang fruits a month.

Even if all compensation is to be paid, the maximum amount to be paid in a month is 50,000 spirit stones.

There are nearly ten million spirit stones in his storage bag now, so this price is nothing to him.

He would stay here for a while to see the situation. If he felt that Lan Qingxian had plotted against him, it would not be too late for him to leave and ask the Xian Sect.

"No problem." Lai Yang responded.

Then, with the help of Lan Qingxian, Lai Yang took over Yuanyang Mountain very smoothly and became the chief elder in charge of looking after and guarding the Yuanyang Mountain medicinal fields.

After being comforted by Lai Yang and Lan Qingxian in turn, and after getting Lan Qingxian's promise that they could go to Yuanyang Mountain to see Lai Yang at any time, Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan followed Lan Qingxian away with doubts.

Lai Yang waved goodbye to Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan. With Lan Qingxian, the great tribulation-transcending master, acting as their leader, the two little ones' journey to immortality would surely be smooth.

On the contrary, his own life fell into a state of confusion.

Previously, he was still thinking about how to borrow the Mirror of Conscience to find Mo Ruyan's whereabouts.

Now the Mirror of Inquiry cannot find Mo Ruyan's whereabouts, and even concludes that there is a high probability that her body and soul have disappeared.

Lai Yang suddenly lost even this small goal.

In this long life and the vast world of cultivating immortals, there is an inexplicable sense of loneliness.

Lai Yang felt the scorching heat between heaven and earth, and looked back at the Yuanyang yam field planted with Yuanyang fruit trees.

Since there is nothing left to do, just do what is in front of you.

He does not need to deliberately pursue immortality because he has already achieved immortality.

With endless time and effort, becoming an immortal is only a matter of time.

The only theme of his future life is to survive!
As long as he is alive, he will eventually become the strongest existence in this land of immortal cultivation!
