Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Qixia Lake, the Jiang family residence.

There are two trees in the yard.

One is a plum tree, and the other is also a plum tree.

There was a round table under the tree, and a pot of tea on the table.

Meng Yu and Jiang Lin, a married couple, sat at the table, drinking tea and discussing the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

"With the opening of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, the three Foundation Establishment patriarchs intend to join forces. The next twenty years should be peaceful."

Meng Yu asked, "Yun'er should be back from the Western Yu Mountains by now, right?"

"The people the family sent to the Xiyu Mountains last time have gradually returned to Qixia Lake."

Jiang Lin smiled like a loving mother, "I suppose Yun'er has already set off for home by now."

"It has been seven years since Yun'er left home. Although we have corresponded, I still miss her terribly."

Meng Yu smiled.

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles; in the past seven years, Jiang Lin has become quite thin.

Fortunately, no bad news about Jiang Yun came from the Xiyu Mountains.

"Madam, judging by her age, Yun'er is twenty-seven this year, it's about time she got married," Meng Yu then asked.

"Last time you said you had already found a marriage partner for Yun'er, who exactly is this girl?"

Meng Yu married into the Jiang family.

Jiang Lin makes most of the decisions.

Jiang Lin was also worrying about Jiang Yun's marriage.

"You've met her before," Jiang Lin said with a smile. "Song Zheng, the youngest daughter of Song Changxing of the Song family."

"It's Song Zheng. She's nineteen years old this year. She's beautiful with delicate features, like a lotus emerging from the water, and has a gentle temperament."

Meng Yu praised, "Madam has excellent taste; Yun'er will surely be satisfied."

"I have already discussed this matter with Song Changxing. If Yun'er is satisfied, we can directly exchange betrothal gifts and arrange the wedding date."

Jiang Lin picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, and smiled, as if she could see her own son getting married.

"Speaking of which, the Song family is actually climbing the social ladder," Meng Yu said. "Although Song Changming of the Song family is also from a branch of the family, Song Zheng only has four spiritual roots."

"Her talent is far inferior to my Yun'er's, and her future achievements will naturally be far inferior as well."

"You know I'm an illegitimate son of the Jiang family," Jiang Lin sighed. "Women with three spiritual roots wouldn't look down on our family, and besides, we can't afford the betrothal gifts."

"That's right, Madam is very thoughtful."

Meng Yu smiled with relief and picked up his teacup to sip his tea.

It was evening.

A setting sun casts its rays across the water, half the river shimmering green, half crimson red.

The water of Qixia Lake is half blue and half red.

Jiang Yun returned from the Xiyu Mountains and looked at the scenery of Qixia Lake, feeling refreshed and relaxed.

"Qixia Lake is still the best. Its spiritual energy is much richer than that of the Xiyu Mountains. No wonder the Song, Chen, and Jiang families have all settled here."

After enjoying the beautiful scenery for a while, Jiang Yun returned home along the familiar road.

"Yun'er, you're back."

Jiang Lin and Meng Yu had been looking forward to this for a long time, and when they saw Jiang Yun return home, they happily surrounded her.

"Father, Mother."

……

Three days later.

Noon.

Jiang Lin and Meng Yu sat under the plum tree, intending to bring up the matter of getting married and starting a family with Jiang Yun.

"Yun'er, come here."

Jiang Yun was about to go out for a stroll when her mother called her back.

He walked over, puzzled, and asked, "What is it?"

"You're twenty-seven this year, it's time for you to settle down," Jiang Lin said with a smile. "Your parents have found you a good marriage, we guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Song Zheng, the daughter of the Song family, is only nineteen years old and still a virgin," Meng Yu interjected. "As long as you agree, you can get married soon."

Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

He never intended to marry and have children.

It's one thing to spend his days in brothels and listening to music, but having too many worries about marriage and children is not conducive to his spiritual cultivation for countless lifetimes.

And in the next life, he will be reincarnated into the world of gods and demons, but who knows how many years will pass before he is reincarnated back into the world of gods and demons?

The carved railings and jade steps should still be there, only the rosy cheeks have faded.

By then, the world will have changed beyond recognition, only adding to the sorrow.

"Father, Mother," Jiang Yun said solemnly, "I don't want to get married yet!"

"Men should marry when they are of age, and women should marry when they are of age. You are now at the age to settle down and start a family. Why don't you want to get married?"

Jiang Lin and Meng Yu's expressions both changed.

Clearly, Jiang Yun's answer displeased them.

"My goal is to reach the Foundation Establishment stage," Jiang Yun said earnestly. "If my primordial yang energy is still intact, the probability of successfully establishing the Foundation will be higher."

Jiang Lin and Meng Yu were both amused and exasperated.

The two were surprised that Jiang Yun would use such an excuse to brush them off.

However, what Jiang Yun said is also true.

If a man still possesses primordial yang and a woman has not lost her primordial yin, their chances of achieving foundation building will indeed be higher.

But it's not going to be that high.

Without Foundation Establishment Pills or Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, the hope of establishing a foundation with three spiritual roots is very slim.

Jiang Lin and Meng Yu were at a loss for words for a moment.

Both of them fell silent.

After a short while, Jiang Lin whispered, "Yun'er, even a cultivator with three spiritual roots who wants to establish their foundation needs to..."

"Then I'll give it a try!"

Jiang Yun knew what her mother wanted to say and interrupted her.

As he spoke, Jiang Yun activated his cultivation technique, revealing the terrifying aura of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator!

Jiang Lin and Meng Yu were so overwhelmed by the powerful aura that they could hardly breathe.

However, their faces soon lit up with surprise.

"Yun'er, when did you reach the late stage of Qi Refining?"

Jiang Yun concealed his aura and smiled, "I just broke through last month. If I hadn't encountered a bottleneck, I would have already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"Haha, great!" Meng Yu laughed loudly.

"Ahem." Jiang Lin coughed lightly, and Meng Yu's laughter stopped abruptly.

All that could be heard was Jiang Lin asking, "Yun'er, are you determined to do this?"

"My goal is to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and I must give it a try no matter what. Let's forget about marriage," Jiang Yun said resolutely.

"Very well." Jiang Lin sighed. "In a few days, I will go to the Song family to explain your wishes, so as not to delay the young lady."

Meng Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words back.

Since things have come to this, let's just let Jiang Yun be.

……

Five days later.

Jiang Lin went to Song Changxing's house and, in accordance with Jiang Yun's wishes, canceled the marriage.

On his way home, he received an order from the clan chief to summon him.

Today, the three Foundation Establishment ancestors from the Jiang, Song, and Chen families are preparing to set off for the Qingyang Sect to explore the Xuanyang Secret Realm.

Jiang Fuyuan, the head of the Jiang family, gathered all members of the Jiang clan to see off their ancestor Jiang Shun, who had just established his foundation, and wished him a victorious start and a safe return.

The same applies to the Chen and Song families.

In the crowd, Jiang Yun took this opportunity to see the true face of Jiang Shun, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Jiang family.

After the farewell ceremony is over.

Jiang Shun soared into the sky, hovering in mid-air above Qixia Lake.

At the same time, two more figures flew to his side.

These two were none other than the Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the Chen and Song families.

The three men clasped their hands and bowed to each other.

thereafter.

Those on the ground had no idea what the three Foundation Establishment ancestors had said.

All that could be seen was the three of them riding their flying magical artifacts and disappearing into the eastern horizon.

Jiang Yun felt a surge of emotion.

"The Foundation Establishment stage allows one's physical body to soar through the void, roaming freely between heaven and earth—truly enviable!"
