Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 73 Lakeside Residence

The house was almost cleaned up. Chen Qian packed all the important items into a storage bag, which made things very easy.

This storage bag was obtained from Tu Yuanfeng, and another one was obtained from a Foundation Establishment demon cultivator of the Blood Demon Sect in Tianluo Kingdom. Both were about ten cubic meters in size, more than enough for moving house.

Other miscellaneous items, such as Yunxi's usual daily necessities and various home decorations, were also packed up and carried by several maids before they set off.

Although there weren't many things to pack, it still took almost an entire afternoon. Adding the time spent walking from the outer valley to the inner valley, by the time we arrived at our new home, night had fallen and the streetlights were just coming on.

This house has a name; it is called Lakeview Residence.

It can already be considered a small manor, several times larger than the small courtyard where they originally lived.

The location is not far from Phoenix Cry Mountain in the center of the inner valley. There is a small lake next to it, and not far from the small lake is the fifty acres of first-grade mid-level spirit field that the family rewarded Chen Qian with.

This arrangement made management easier, which pleased Chen Qian.

Pushing open the ebony gate, the three courtyards unfold like a painting.

The winding "Nine-Bend Spiritual Path" paved with green jade in the front courtyard meanders through the flowerbeds and lawns, with "Moon Shadow Grass" planted on both sides that changes with the phases of the moon, making it both elegant and beautiful and full of artistic conception.

On the east side stands a miniature landscape, its shape quite similar to the Three Thousand Swords Waterfall, with miniature water flow striking the black iron anvil and producing a clear chime.

A "Crystal Crystal Lamp" hangs under the corridor of the main house in the central courtyard. The flame of the lamp is shaped like an ice crystal lotus, giving it a somewhat ethereal and fairy-tale feel.

Outside the west wing is a "Star Sand Chessboard," where meteorite fragments are used as chess pieces. Playing chess under the clear moonlight can evoke star projections, a truly ingenious design.

The back garden features a picturesque landscape with small bridges and flowing water, and the meditation room is cleverly integrated into it.

This place was also equipped with a top-tier spirit-gathering array, making it the most spiritually rich spot in the entire house. Chen Qian liked it at first sight.

After leading everyone on a tour of the small manor, Aunt Lan arranged for her four maids to serve her there before taking her leave.

After Yunxi directed the maids to put the things they had brought back into place, she then arranged the first dinner party at the new residence.

My husband has received many family awards, and his new house is absolutely gorgeous. Today, the family must have a proper celebration and not let it end so hastily.

Although there were no outsiders at the celebration dinner that night, the house was very lively.

The wife and maids were all in high spirits.

Chen Qian specially took out the first-grade superior spirit wine, Qingfengzui, which was a gift from the Grand Elder.

Apart from Su Jin, the wife and other maids either had no cultivation or were of low level. They could not hold their liquor after drinking only one or two cups of diluted spiritual wine.

In the end, the two of them had no choice but to carry them back to their resting room one by one.

With both wives drunk, it was naturally inconvenient to wage war or make a big fuss tonight. Qianmo hoped that the three armies would lower their flags and stop their drums, and they would sleep together with their necks intertwined.

The next morning, after the couple and their companions had finished washing and dressing with Su Jin's help, they went to the main hall of the house.

Although Yunxi and Momo got drunk last night, as long as the spiritual wine is not consumed in excess, it has an excellent effect on nourishing the body. The spiritual energy it emits is balanced and peaceful, and people do not experience a hangover after sobering up. Instead, they feel refreshed.

Before long, led by Qingman and Ziyao, the four maids who had joined the household the day before came to pay their respects.

When they first arrived at the new residence yesterday, it was already dark. After the women toured and arranged everything, they immediately prepared a dinner banquet. Although the banquet ended happily, most of the new maids served them attentively. Chen Qian and his wife did not interact with them much and were not yet familiar with them.

Although Chen Qian, whose core personality is that of a modern person, enjoys the life of a wealthy ancient family with a large number of servants, he has little concept of hierarchy.

Now that he had come to this small family, he would treat these maids as members of the household. So after getting up early and washing up, he instructed Qingman and the other two maids to bring them to meet him.

It's always good to have a proper conversation to break down the barriers of unfamiliarity, so that you can get along comfortably in the future.

Yunxi and Momo also approved of their husband's arrangement. Momo, needless to say, had never been served by servants since childhood, so she naturally wouldn't treat maids with prejudice.

Although Yunxi comes from a prestigious family, she is gentle and charming, without any arrogance.

Such a master is actually what many servants and men dream of.

As long as they don't harbor any ill intentions, they will live a very comfortable life.

Under Qingman's guidance, the four maids stepped forward one by one to pay their respects and introduce themselves. Chen Qian and his wife were all kind and gentle, comforting each girl and quickly easing their nervousness and anxiety, making them much more at ease.

The four girls were beautiful, but they were all very young, not yet of marriageable age, and were just little girls who had not yet grown up.

Their backgrounds are similar to Su Jin's; they are all orphans with impeccable family records, raised under the protection of their families, and are the most trustworthy confidants of the cultivation families.

After a friendly conversation and careful understanding, the couple quickly became familiar with the four women and felt quite satisfied.

The four girls' names are Liu Yan, He Ying, Feng Yin, and Ji Xue.

Liu Yan is gentle and skilled at tending to flowers and plants; she can also help Yun Xi manage the family's spiritual fields in the future.

He Ying is straightforward and skilled in cooking, and will be a good helper to Zi Yao in the future. Mo Mo likes this kind of personality.

Fengyin is meticulous and speaks with clear logic. She is an excellent person for managing accounts and the warehouse.

Ji Xue, on the other hand, is reserved and quiet, but quite talented, with a certain level of skill in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She would be a good playmate for Yun Xi.

All four women were being assigned to the residences of the young masters and ladies of the family for the first time, serving as maids. It was clear that Aunt Lan had indeed been carefully selected, and they were very suitable for the current needs of Chen Qian's family.

Chen Qian was in a great mood and specifically instructed Yun Xi to find a suitable time to send some gifts to Aunt Lan as a token of his gratitude.

Yunxi smiled and nodded in agreement, indicating that she had remembered.

In the days that followed, Chen Qian lived a very comfortable life, with a more comfortable living environment and a richer spiritual energy. The only drawback was that Chen Yunyi did not come to visit after he moved to the new house.

Chen Yunxi felt something was strange. In recent days, even her father, Chen Hongming, had come once or twice, but her sister always made excuses about being busy and didn't come when she invited her.

Although my sister has a cool and aloof personality, she is very close to me and doesn't keep people at arm's length. Why is her reaction so unusual this time?
She was always intelligent and perceptive, and she quickly realized that her sister seemed to be intentionally avoiding her husband.

This didn't seem to be the case before; this change must have occurred after the two of them went out together to search for their father.

She began to understand that something special must have happened between her husband and her sister, breaking the boundaries of their original relationship.

But she could clearly sense that her sister didn't dislike her husband; she just didn't want to be with him for the time being.

Chen Qian was naturally well aware of this.

However, he never dwells on internal conflicts. If he wants his relationship with Chen Yunyi to undergo a qualitative change, then this process is essential.

Faced with his wife's probing gaze, he could only appear nonchalant, reassuring her that everything was fine, that this change was a good thing, and that she should not worry.

Upon hearing from his wife that Sister Yunyi was preparing to return to Qingye Mountain to oversee affairs, Chen Qian decided to pay her a visit.

Although the ice demon within Chen Yunyi's body was perfectly controlled, it was still a ticking time bomb. Before leaving, he naturally had to go to her place to remove some of it.

In recent days, besides cultivating his magical power, Chen Qian has focused his main energy on strengthening his body, drawing talismans, and improving his earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth).

For this reason, he even went to the Hundred Storage Pavilion to buy talisman paper and spirit ink worth dozens of spirit stones.
