Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 538 A Life-Saving Grace (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Li Yunjing strode forward, stretched out his hands, and grasped the withered hands of Steward Li. His spiritual power quietly flowed into the other's meridians, but he noticed that those meridians were already riddled with holes and full of traces of the erosion of time.

"You saved my life on that rainy night back then. If it weren't for you, there would be no Li Yunjing today!"

His voice was deep, and three pills shimmering with rosy light flew out from his sleeve and directly into Steward Li's mouth. "These are third-grade 'Healing Pills,' which can rebuild meridians and prolong life!"

Before Steward Li could react, Li Yunjing had already begun to activate his magic power to help Steward Li refine the medicinal power.

Otherwise, without his help, Steward Li would not have been able to withstand the effects of the medicine at all. His internal organs would have been shattered by the medicine, and he would have died a violent death!

With Li Yunjing's help, the medicinal effects began to slowly circulate within Steward Li's body, entering his internal organs, bones, blood, meridians, and muscles...

Upon seeing this, the elders of the Yu family immediately signaled the others to be quiet, and each of them carefully stood guard over Li Yunjing!
Everyone wore a tense expression, seemingly deeply concerned about the old steward.

But in their hearts, they secretly wondered when this Steward Li had saved Li Yunjing's life.
What they didn't know was that what happened on the mountain road back then was just a trivial matter, which Steward Li didn't remember and naturally wouldn't report.

A shimmering white light emanated from Li Yunjing's palms, and the spiritual energy in his palms seeped into Steward Li's body like a gentle stream.

Under the combined effects of medicine and spiritual energy, those damaged meridians began to slowly heal, like a dried-up riverbed receiving spring rain.

A rosy hue gradually returned to Li's originally sallow face, and his hunched back straightened up slightly involuntarily.

As the medicine took effect, Steward Li suddenly coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of black blood onto the ground, filling the air with a foul stench.

Li Yunjing's expression turned solemn. He increased the output of his spiritual power and shouted in a low voice, "Go!"

A golden light entered Li's body through his Baihui acupoint, dispelling the old, hidden injuries deep within his internal organs.

Half an hour later, Li Yunjing withdrew his hands, his expression calm and his breath unmoved.

Treating Steward Li's injuries will not consume any resources.

For Li Yunjing, this was a trivial matter.

Steward Li slowly opened his eyes, and his previously cloudy eyes became clearer. He moved his stiff limbs and said in disbelief, "This old servant... feels seventy or eighty years younger!"

Yu Zhenshan quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Nephew, your superb medical skills are truly admirable!"

The other elders echoed this sentiment, their gazes towards Li Yunjing now filled with greater respect.

A person who doesn't forget a life-saving grace is seen by many as a trustworthy "good person"!
Li Yunjing was labeled a "good person," which made the Yu family respect their son-in-law even more.

“From now on, you will come back to the Shenxiao Dao Sect with me. I will have a small courtyard built next to the Seven Star Palace, where you will be served by someone every day.”

Li Yunjing waved his hand, took out a set of third-grade low-quality robes from his storage ring, and personally helped Steward Li change into them: "If you need anything, just say the word."

Steward Li knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face: "What virtue or ability do I have to cause my son-in-law so much trouble..."

"I will never forget your kindness."

Li Yunjing quickly helped him up, her gaze firm: "From this day forward, you are family to me, Li Yunjing!"

These words moved everyone in the hall.

Only then did the Yu family understand why Li Yunjing valued this seemingly ordinary old butler so much.

This gratitude spanning decades has, at this moment, transformed into a bond more precious than any treasure.

The listlessness that had plagued Steward Li had long since dissipated. Although he had not yet returned to his youthful state, he now stood up straight, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to have regained some of his former vigor.

"From now on, you will enjoy your old age in peace at the Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Li Yunjing then waved his hand and summoned a white jade alchemy furnace. The crane carved on the surface of the furnace was poised to take flight: "This furnace can refine life-extending pills on its own. If I have time, I will personally treat your body!"

"Steward Li has been a great benefactor to me, and from this day forward, his treatment shall be on par with that of the Yu family elders!"

He turned to look at Yu Zhenshan, his gaze leaving no room for doubt.

As Steward Li gazed at the floating pills and alchemy furnace, tears welled up in his cloudy eyes and dripped onto the back of Li Yunjing's hand.

The young man who almost drowned on the muddy road back then has now become a powerful figure who can overshadow the world, and this kindness has been repaid with such overwhelming force forty years later.

Manager Li felt as if he had been transported to another world.

He never imagined that Li Yunjing would repay him, a former stranger.

It should be understood that the world is a cold place, and even those who save lives are often ungrateful, like the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf.

There are few people like Li Yunjing!
"Nephew, please rest assured that Steward Li will be treated with the respect due to an elder of the Yu family in 'Yueming City'!"

Yu Zhenshan quickly agreed: "Even if I go to live in the Shenxiao Dao Sect, I guarantee that I will still make offerings every year without missing a single penny!"

After saying that, he gestured to the person next to him to bring a "storage bracelet" and then placed it in Steward Li's palm. "From today onwards, Elder Li will receive the same treatment as the clan elders! This is ten years' worth of salary!"

"This……"

Steward Li hesitated for a moment.

The Yu family wasn't bad to him; it was just that his status was lower than that of the Yu family's direct descendants, so he didn't receive generous treatment, which was only natural.

Manager Yu had no complaints!

At this moment, he was somewhat surprised by the sudden increase in the Yu family's treatment and didn't know what to do.

"Take it! You deserve it! You saved me, so you deserve to enjoy it!"

Li Yunjing gave the order in a calm tone.

"Alright! Thank you, Patriarch!"

With Li Yunjing's words, Steward Li carefully accepted the "storage bracelet".

A clan elder at the Golden Core stage receiving offerings for ten years—that's quite a sum.

It's enough to cover all of Steward Li's wealth!

With the addition of the two precious artifacts given to him by Li Yunjing, Steward Li's wealth doubled, increasing by dozens of times compared to before.

After exchanging contact information with Steward Li, Li Yunjing told the old man to go back and rest, and that he would take him with him when he left.

After finishing these tasks, Li Yunjing looked at the setting sun outside the hall, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Yurou handed him a jade sachet with a smile: "Yunyi has prepared a spiritual meal at Tingxue Pavilion. I will have someone take my nephew there now."

Having said that, she lightly flicked her wide sleeves, and the maids leading the way immediately lit incense. Amidst the rising smoke, a path paved with moonstone meandered into the depths of the courtyard.

"Alright! Then I'll excuse myself!"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, showing no politeness, and turned to leave.

Having talked so much with the Yu family, we've already given them plenty of face.

He believed he had done enough.

At this moment, he naturally wanted to reunite with Yu Yunyi.

Passing through the triple hanging flower gate, the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms fills the air.

The glass lanterns in front of the "Listening to Snow Pavilion" lit up one after another, reflecting the iridescent light on the ice crystal wind chimes hanging under the eaves.

As soon as Li Yunjing stepped onto the stone steps, the pavilion door creaked open, and a figure in a moon-white silk dress rushed into his arms.

The jade hairpin in Yu Yunyi's hair struck his chest with a soft, crisp sound, but it couldn't mask her trembling voice: "You've finally come."

"Sorry for the waitting."

Li Yunjing put his arm around her slender waist and felt the delicate body in his arms still trembling slightly.

Looking up, he saw that the table inside the pavilion was filled with his favorite osmanthus cakes and spiritual tea.

Yu Yunyi suddenly raised her head, her fingertips tracing Li Yunjing's chin: "Why did it take you two years to come?"

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing smiled and took her hand, saying with a smile, "'White Tiger Hall' and 'Black Tortoise Hall' have encountered some troublesome matters, which is why they have been delayed."

Yu Yunyi gave a soft hum, but had already pulled Li Yunjing to sit down at the sandalwood table. Her slender hand lifted the food box, and in the rising steam, the crystal-clear osmanthus cake was already held between her jade fingers.

"I'll make excuses to try my new cooking skills first."

She picked up a piece of pastry and held it to Li Yunjing's lips, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Did it get mixed in with Qingxin Grass?"

Li Yunjing opened his mouth and took a bite. The soft, sweet flavor melted on his tongue, mixed with a faint trace of spiritual energy. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "This tastes even better than 'Donghualou'."

"Of course!"

Yu Yunyi smiled smugly, her dimples appearing at the corners of her eyes: "I specifically consulted a top-notch spiritual chef, who said that this can help stabilize the mind."

Amidst the fragrant tea, Li Yunjing unfurled a scroll of gold-embossed marriage certificate, the four symbols outlined in vermilion shimmering in the candlelight: "The sect leader has promised to hold the wedding at 'Chaoyang Peak,' but the guest list is pending." He paused, "The demonic forces will likely not be content; on the wedding day, they will probably lay a trap."

"Yes! As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Yu Yunyi chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.

Firstly, it's a sacred place for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and anyone who causes trouble there will surely die; secondly, Li Yunjing's abilities are too great, so she feels very safe.

"Yes! With me here, there won't be any problems!"

Li Yunjing pulled her into his arms, his chin brushing against her hair: "I'm just letting you know in advance so you won't panic!"

He flicked his finger, and a 3D model of the wedding venue appeared in the air, with pavilions, towers, waterfalls, and fireworks intertwined. "I'd like to set up a 'Mirror Flower Water Moon Array' at the entrance for the guests, so that everyone will feel as if they have stepped into a fairyland. What do you think?"

"How about adding some jade decorations?"

Yu Yunyi's eyes lit up, and with a light tap of her jade finger, the pavilion in the model was instantly covered with a layer of snow: "I remember there is an ice field near the sect where you can collect mysterious ice that has never melted for thousands of years."

……

The two became more and more excited as they talked, their spiritual energy surging from time to time, sketching out various designs in the void to perfect the wedding ceremony.

Some of the dishes in the food box gradually cooled down, but no one noticed.

It wasn't until the sound of the night watchman's drum came from outside the window that Yu Yunyi realized how late it was. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently pushed Li Yunjing away, saying, "We still have to see Sister Lü tomorrow, so you should get some rest."

Li Yunjing took her hand and solemnly signed his name at the end of the marriage certificate: "After our wedding, I will definitely take you to travel all over Tianlan Star and see all the mountains and rivers."

Yu Yunyi gazed at the flamboyant handwriting on the marriage certificate, her ears flushing red. Her fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of the pages: "'Tianlan Star' is so vast, it'll probably take hundreds of years to complete."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunjing lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head. The four illusory images of the four symbols quietly appeared around him, enveloping the two of them in a soft halo.

"If a hundred years is not enough, then a thousand years will suffice."

With a slight movement of his spiritual energy, a jade slip engraved with cultivation techniques floated out. "This is the 'White Tiger Power' and 'Black Tortoise Power' that I have recently comprehended. I will wait for the day you form your core."

Suddenly, a night owl cried out outside the window, and Li Yunjing had created a barrier around the two of them.

How the two of them used the "Yin Yang He Dao Jing" for cultivation is a secret between them.

After the two of them had experienced the greatest joy, Yu Yunyi realized that the sun was already high in the sky. She hurriedly got up and tidied her hair.

"It's still early! Don't rush!"

Li Yunjing leaned against the headboard, admiring Yu Yunyi's graceful figure and smiling as he did so.

Yu Yunyi's cheeks flushed, and she glanced reproachfully at Li Yunjing, lightly tapping his forehead with her fingertip: "If it weren't for you last night..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Yunjing used a "Dragon-Capturing Hand" to pull her into his arms. The spiritual energy of the four elements around him transformed into a gentle halo, slowly binding her loose black hair.

"Since I'm going to see Ruoxi, I naturally want to show her the most radiant version of yourself."

Before Li Yunjing finished speaking, nine gold hairpins engraved with phoenix patterns flew out from her sleeve, floated in the air and automatically arranged themselves into the shape of a phoenix crown, and slowly landed in her hair.

Amidst Yu Yunyi's exclamation, Li Yunjing personally dressed and made up his woman.

In the afternoon, the two of them dressed up and left their room.

The Yu family members were already waiting in the front courtyard.

Looking at his daughter in her phoenix coronet and wedding gown, Yu Zhenshan's eyes welled up with tears. He held an antique sandalwood box in his hands and said, "This is the 'Phoenix Pendant' that has been used by the Yu family to marry off their daughters for generations. Today, I will give it to you."

Shen Yurou stepped forward and gently stroked her daughter's cheek, then hung a necklace adorned with spirit stones around her neck: "Take good care of yourself from now on!"

"Father, Mother, don't worry!"

Yu Yunyi said with a smile.

She felt no sadness; neither her family nor her sect, nor any distance could stop a cultivator's journey.

Both of my parents have a chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm. If they succeed, there will be plenty of time in the future.

There's even less to worry about regarding her own spiritual practice.

If that's the case, why is she still sad?

Li Yunjing respectfully bowed to the two elders, "Please rest assured, Uncle and Aunt, on the day of the wedding, we will take you to stay at the Shenxiao Dao Sect for a while."

As Yu's family saw them off, Li Yunjing pulled Yu Yunyi onto the "Sky Patrol Ship".

The treasure ship sped along and soon arrived at "Yuping Mountain" where the Lü family lived.

From afar, the entire mountain peak was shrouded in colorful clouds, birds sang in unison, and countless sword energies weaved through the clouds.

It was the "Ten Thousand Swords Welcoming Guests Formation" that the Lü family had set up to welcome their distinguished guests.

Unlike the Yu family, the Lü family lacked the strength to occupy a province and become a hegemon.

They could only occupy one famous mountain in Luozhou.

This is the ancestral home of the Lü family.

As soon as the "Sky Patrol Ship" arrived outside the mountain, a woman dressed in purple flew over. When she saw the "Sky Patrol Ship", her eyes were full of surprise.

"Yun Jing! Yun Yi! We've been waiting for you to come!"

Li Yunjing looked at the charming and beautiful Lü Ruoxi in front of him and, with Yu Yunyi, got off the "Sky Patrol Ship". This warship was floating in the air and was temporarily managed by Chief Steward Li.

Together with Lü Ruoxi, looking at the charming beauty, Li Yunjing smiled and took out a jade pendant to hand to her: "Ruoxi, why did you come out to greet me?"

Lu Ruoxi took the jade pendant, her fingertips brushing against the cool patterns. A hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, which then turned into joy. She leaned forward and gave Li Yunjing a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, husband!"

Lu Ruoxi was even happier to receive the gift.

She then looked at Yu Yunyi playfully, took Yu Yunyi's hand generously, and urged, "Come with me to see your parents quickly, they've been talking about you for two years!"

"it is good!"

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that getting past the Lü family will be even easier; judging from Lü Ruoxi's expression, there won't be any problems!
On the way into the mountains, members of the Lü family came out to greet them.

When they faced Li Yunjing, they became even more nervous and somewhat restrained, unsure of how to face this important figure.

Li Yunjing was quite amiable, and with Lü Ruoxi's introduction, he could exchange a few words with anyone.

The Lü family is a small family, not as many as the Yu family. Apart from an ancestor who is at the first level of the Golden Core Realm, the rest are all at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It didn't take long for Li Yunjing to recognize all the direct descendants of his family.

With his memory, there's no way he wouldn't forget something.

In the future, if he sees the Lü family again, Li Yunjing will naturally offer any help he can.

Inside the main hall of the Lü family, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

"Truly worthy of being called the greatest talent in the world!"

Lu Ruoxi's father, Lu Tianfeng, stroked his long beard, looked Li Yunjing up and down, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Having met you today, I can see that you truly live up to your reputation!"

Lu Tianfeng had been looking forward to this marriage for a long time!

The gaze directed at Li Yunjing was filled with admiration and affection.

Having said that, he raised his hand and summoned a bronze cauldron, its body covered with ancient runes. "This is the bronze cauldron, the treasure of the Lü family. Today, it will be Ruoxi's dowry!"

This "bronze cauldron" is only at the level of a top-grade spiritual artifact!
It is indeed a treasure of the Lü family, but its level is somewhat low.

The Lü family is not capable of producing a magical artifact!
"Father! Yun Jing looks down on these vulgar things!"

Just as Li Yunjing was about to decline, Lü Ruoxi spoke first: "The betrothal gifts he gave to Yunyi were all priceless treasures that could shake the cultivation world!"

Lu Ruoxi is straightforward and outspoken, and she has no intention of hiding her thoughts from her own people.

She knew that Li Yunjing didn't like this item, so she naturally wanted to help him out of the predicament.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall showed expressions of curiosity.

"Uncle, Aunt, elders, don't listen to Ruoxi's nonsense! This gift is very valuable, and I like it very much."

Li Yunjing smiled helplessly and explained, "I have also brought betrothal gifts for everyone! Uncle and Aunt, please take a look!"

As he spoke, a faint light emanated from his palm, recreating the scene of preparing betrothal gifts for the Yu family in the air. Numerous treasures appeared in the hall, eliciting gasps of amazement from the Lü family members.
