A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 205 What a loud tone

"Why did you decide to stand up for those victims?"

Feng Biwu didn't care much about the affairs of the lower realm. Her family had long since passed away, and she was all alone. Wherever Li Weizhou was, that was home. So she asked about the current situation.

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "Shui Ling's matter still touched me somewhat. I'm used to calling the mortal world a martial arts world, and I believe that the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people..."

Qi Erniang laughed happily, "That's why you built the plank road connecting the north and south of Dayuan Mountain to benefit the people, isn't that right?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "What we did casually was a way out for so many ordinary people. And calling the Spirit Realm a world of immortals and heroes... I believe those with great power should also have a basic sense of justice. Because nobody knows if they'll still have this talent in their next life. Perhaps in our next lives we'll both be ordinary people, and when we encounter reckless people doing whatever they want, someone will stand up and uphold justice. I don't like a chaotic world; it's too cruel. At least, there should be some basic order around our home."

He had this same confusion when he was reading martial arts novels on Earth.

What were the other righteous sects doing when the Qingcheng Sect wiped out the Fuwei Escort Agency?
What about the top schools like Shaolin and Wudang?
Furthermore, Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King, indiscriminately killed innocent people in order to lure out Cheng Kun, and no one cared.

As a result, once the Dragon-Slaying Saber was in hand, good heavens, all the famous and righteous sects in the martial arts world were in an uproar.

What kind of birds are these?

Of course, Li Weizhou couldn't be a chivalrous hero like the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, but at least he had to handle matters at his doorstep efficiently.

After explaining the situation, the four women looked at his smiling face with a hint of pride.

Li Weizhou coughed lightly and said earnestly, "All my virtuous wives have reached the Spirit Origin Realm, and their immortal foundations are solidified. They can have children now. The requirements aren't high: two children in three years, five in eight years... hehehe!"

He chuckled as he tossed a few handkerchiefs in the face, "The best thing about the Spirit Realm is that children are born with all their orifices open and strong bodies, so you don't have to worry too much. Let's work harder and try to fill the inner sect with children!"

Qi Erniang chuckled and said, "Good heavens, this entire sect is full of sons and daughters."

Li Weizhou said smugly, "When the time comes, our whole family will fight tigers together like brothers, and fathers and sons will go to war side by side! Who would dare to bully us?"

Situ Qingyue got up and left. Anyway, she would only have two children at most, no more than three...

Zhou Yueniang also stood up and said with a smile, "Take your time giving birth, we're going up to the arena. The disciples from the six sects are probably here to assess our strength so they can be better prepared for the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament the year after next. Shall we just let them watch from here?"

Feng Biwu sneered, "Let them watch. If they think this is our strength, they'll be pleasantly surprised at the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament the year after next."

After saying that, he left with Zhou Yueniang.

Qi Erniang stayed behind last, looking at Li Weizhou with a smile and saying, "Good brother, you like children so much?"

Li Weizhou said with a smile, "Many children bring many blessings."

The spirit world is not Earth. Children on Earth are raised to be more and more pampered and delicate, with parents practically risking their lives to raise them.

In the spirit world, things are fine; children are born strong and healthy, and are not afraid of being hurt.

Of course, the expenses were no less.

For ordinary cultivators, preparing cultivation resources for even one child is already incredibly difficult. Having a hundred or eighty children would be just as exhausting, and they might even have to give up some of them.

But for Li Weizhou, none of these were problems.

Instead of training others and taking outsiders as disciples, it's better to use resources to raise your own children.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Qi Erniang leaned closer to Li Weizhou. Her light yellow outfit was already neatly tailored, and with her movement, the bamboo-patterned jade belt around her waist was stretched even tighter, outlining the smooth and powerful curves of her waist and hips, like green bamboo standing in the wind on a cliff, showing both bone structure and graceful demeanor.

She raised her hand to brush away the stray hairs that had fallen across her forehead. The spirit tea that had just touched her fingertips was still wet, and it landed on the jade hairpin by her temple, reflecting a shimmering light.

The movement was ordinary, but when the corners of her eyes turned up slightly, the spiritual fire of the Green Wood Palace reflected in her eyes, revealing a hint of unknowing charm, much like the moonlight that inadvertently peeked out from the swaying bamboo shadows on a spring night.

“Good brother, if they don’t want to have more children, then I will. My fighting talent is mediocre, so I can’t help you much. In the future, I’ll have more children and help them take care of them.”

Her voice was softer than before, with a slightly sweet tone at the end. Unlike Situ Qingyue's coldness or Feng Biwu's warmth, it was like rice wine soaked in honey, warming the heart with just a sip.

After thinking for a moment, Li Weizhou tentatively asked, "Shall we begin now?"

Qi Erniang chuckled and said, "That still won't work. It has to be Yue Niang who gives birth first. After that, it doesn't matter."

Li Weizhou pursed his lips, patted her round bottom, and said, "Not now, then why are you being so slutty?"

Qi Erniang nudged him with her hips and said with a coquettish laugh, "I'm sure now that you and Shui Ling are innocent."

After saying that, she walked away, swaying her hips exaggeratedly and giggling.

Li Weizhou: "..."

None of his four wives were easy to deal with.

……

Watching Situ Qingyue and her three companions win one arena battle after another, and then gracefully step down from the stage, the disciples from the six sects watching all looked grim.

Judging from the strength that the four have shown so far, few among the younger generation of the six sects can match them.

However, if that's all there is to it, there is a way to solve it.

All we need to do is record their techniques with a recording stone, and the sect's elders will figure out a way to pass on the skills.

They come from the lower realm after all; once they achieve something, they become arrogant and don't know how to hide their talents.

……

Having once again astonished the six champions with the Qingyuan Pill, Li Weizhou went to Lihuo Peak in a rather good mood.

Inside the Li Huo Hall, Zhou Yueniang and the others were talking with their master's wife, Tian Ru.

Tian Ru spoke to them with a mixture of annoyance and pride, and she and Su Wan, the city lord of Qingshui City, almost started arguing.

As the markets and markets under the Five Elements Sect became increasingly bustling, business in Qingshui City declined.

Tian Ru's fingertips twirled the rim of the teacup, the steam from the spiritual tea creating a faint mist before her eyes. She smiled helplessly, her fingertips tracing the lotus pattern on the cup's surface, and said, "Su Wan came to me again yesterday to complain, saying that seven spiritual material shops in Qingshui City have left, even the oldest 'Wanbaozhai' is moving to the market town below our mountain gate. The people she sent to persuade them to stay were speechless, blocked by the merchants. They said, 'The Five Elements Sect's market town is protected by the Peace and Security Order, so there's no need to fear robbing cultivators. We can even buy all sorts of rare items directly from the Five Elements Sect, why stay in Qingshui City and live in fear?' They said the Sinful Clan will retaliate against Xuantian Pavilion sooner or later... Hou Haikun, that disciple, is indeed going too far."

Zhou Yueniang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and said, "That's true. The merchants wanted to come, so Su Wan can't force them to stay, can she?"

"How could she be forced to stay..."

Tian Ru sighed and said, "She said that Wei Zhou was too cunning and forced her to become the manager of the Five Elements Sect and sell things for us."

Feng Biwu was using her spiritual power to heal her minor injuries when she heard this. She raised her eyes and sneered, "Didn't Xuantian Pavilion use the Five Elements Sect's influence to stabilize Qingshui City? When the sect suffered a disaster before, Qingshui City took the opportunity to thrive. Now that we're doing well, she still says such things. If we're talking about favors, it's her who owes the Five Elements Sect."

"Eh."

Zhou Yueniang pressed Feng Biwu's hand, a hint of consideration flashing in her eyes, and said, "My husband said that our Five Elements Sect will not directly intervene to form a merchant alliance. It's not that we can't, but that we don't want to go through too much trouble. However, if City Lord Su is unwilling and only wants to guard her city, then this opportunity will not be hers."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ru gasped slightly.

This family's arrogance is getting bigger and bigger.

This is an attempt to become a top-tier Central Plains power, like the three major business alliances in the Spirit Realm!
But which of the three major business alliances doesn't have a top-tier expert from the spirit realm behind it?
Let alone whether her husband can successfully advance, even if he does, he'll only be at the early stage of the Immortal Spirit realm. The nine levels of the Immortal Spirit realm truly represent ascending one level in each realm, the difference being almost equivalent to a major realm difference.

This was only her rudimentary understanding.

The reason why the three major business alliances have stood firm is that they are all backed by peerless figures at the eighth level of the Immortal Spirit Realm.

Judging from what his own disciples said, their whole family wanted to become such people.

For a moment, Tian Ru didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Li Weizhou came in at that moment.

However, she soon regretted that the word "thankfully" had even crossed her mind earlier...

Li Weizhou chuckled and said, "If Su Wan continues to be confused, it will be the most regrettable and agonizing decision of her life. But it doesn't matter, even without Butcher Su, we can still eat hairy pork, right?"

Tao Ling'er and Xi Mei came in from outside, their eyes wide as bells, and exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Brother, you want to eat a hairy pig?!"

Spirit cultivators, especially those of high status, never eat pork.

To put it simply, "豕" (shǐ) and "屎" (shǐ) are homophones.

Eating pigs sounds like eating shit...

Li Weizhou said earnestly, "Senior sister, you have no idea how delicious pork is. Wait, I'll braise a pot of it for you to try later, and I guarantee you'll only eat pork from now on..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was chased and killed by Tao Ling'er throughout the palace.

The others laughed so hard they were doubled over.

After playing around for a while, Tian Ru stopped Tao Ling'er, telling her to act like a "senior sister," and warned Li Weizhou not to bully others. Then she got down to business: "Even I don't have confidence. Su Wan has a strong personality and is unyielding. I'm afraid..."

Li Weizhou also said earnestly, "There's really no need to force it. I'm just grateful that she took care of Senior Sister when the Five Elements Sect was down on its luck. We remember that favor. Although I protected her once when the Sin Clan attacked the city some time ago, which can be considered as repaying that favor, it's still rare to receive help in times of need, which is why I thought of having the opportunity to cooperate. But if she doesn't believe me, then let her be."

Tian Ru looked closely at her apprentices and couldn't help but ask, "Wei Zhou, how can you be so confident?"

Li Weizhou exclaimed in surprise, "Master's wife, I am the one who opened the Hidden Divine Palace, destined to become a super big shot. Besides, I'm already like this, don't you have confidence in me?!"

Tian Ru: "..."

Tao Ling'er teased Xi Mei from the side: "Your brother is such a braggart! There are people in Zhongzhou who have opened the Hidden God Palace, but they can't brag like this."

Moreover, although many of those who opened the Hidden Divine Palace in Zhongzhou advanced to the Immortal Spirit Realm, the most powerful experts all came from the Spirit Realm.

Xi Mei snorted, "My brother doesn't brag. Just wait and see, my brother is the best!"

After joking around for a while, Li Weizhou and his family returned to Qingmu Peak.

When Li Weizhou wasn't at Hunyuan Peak, he was mostly here.

Upon hearing that her brother was planning to secretly return to the mortal realm, Xi Mei was overjoyed and jumped up and down, asking, "Brother, are you going down to see Uncle and the others?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "Yes, but brother can't bring people down to the mortal realm yet. If you have anything to say, you can write a letter or take some photos."

Xi Mei nodded repeatedly and then asked, "Can you contact Dong'er and the others? I miss them so much."

Li Weizhou had almost forgotten about the three girls, Xiao Dong, Xiao Xi, and Xiao Bei, unless Xi Mei mentioned them.

Li Weizhou thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I can take some photos of them, but it's not easy to contact them for now. But there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Xi Mei was also very satisfied, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Yes, yes, I'm glad to see them all are doing well. Brother, when are you leaving?"

Li Weizhou smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow. But this is top secret. Just tell Master's wife and the others that you're temporarily going into seclusion for a few days. Also, before I return, you all must stay inside the inner sect's protective formation. No matter what happens, you can't go out, not even those from the outer sects. Do you understand?"

Xi Mei naturally had no problem with it; in her world, her brother's words were above all else.

After giving her instructions, everyone else left, but Zhou Yueniang stayed at Qingmu Peak.

Seeing his wife still looking like a young girl, her amber eyes sparkling with light, Li Weizhou smiled and pulled her into his arms, saying, "I'll tell Father-in-law that you're living very well in the Spirit Realm. Right now, you can defeat ten thousand fathers-in-law with a single hand gesture..."

"Oops~"

It was rare for Zhou Yueniang to be so coquettish. Even when she was being affectionate with her husband, she would usually keep her thin lips tightly pursed and gaze intently at Li Weizhou...

Clearly, he was excited at that moment.

She took out a letter and handed it to Li Weizhou, saying, "In the letter, I told Father that we're planning to have a child, and he'll be a grandfather. We'd like to ask him to help us come up with a nickname for the baby, okay?"

Li Weizhou was very generous and said, "Sure! You can give me any kind of formal name!"

Zhou Yueniang, however, was displeased and said, "A famous name won't do. What about the eldest son..."

Li Weizhou chuckled and said, "Then let's begin. This time, you don't need to refine essence into qi."

Zhou Yueniang glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, then wrapped her arms around her husband...

……

three days later.

Hunyuan Peak, Five Elements Hall.

With everything prepared, Li Weizhou looked at his four wives, who had been enjoying his company for three consecutive days, each with a rosy and delicate complexion. He laughed triumphantly, "Those bastards from the Eighth Prince and the Eighth Clan never dreamed that I could go back."

Situ Qingyue nodded and said, "If we can get rid of these old monsters, the mortal realm will be much more peaceful."

Those old monsters who have cultivated to the third level of the Profound Gate but have no chance of opening the heavens are all psychologically abnormal.

Previously, with the Grand Master in charge, they couldn't cause any trouble.

After the Grand Master ascends to immortality, if the Venerables in the Spirit Circle are even slightly negligent, those old monsters will surely wreak havoc.

Zhou Yueniang said, "We can go back to the Demonic Sect's lair. That time, a demonic corpse actually appeared. I still feel scared when I think about it now."

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "Okay."

Looking at her younger sister, whose face was full of reluctance and whose eyes were red, she said gently, "I will definitely come back in three days at the shortest, seven days at the longest. Listen to your sister-in-law at home, and do not leave the inner courtyard, understand?"

Xi Mei nodded repeatedly and replied, "I understand, brother. Go and come back soon."

Li Weizhou smiled, his gaze swept over his closest relatives one by one, then a thought flickered in his mind, and his figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight...
