Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 110 Marriage Alliance, Observing the Tide and Discussing the Dao

"Why can't it be you?"

The atmosphere inside the Cui family's cave was heavy.

Sitting on the grand chair at the head of the table, Cui Xianghong's face was gloomy, and his cold gaze fell on the girl in the yellow dress kneeling below.

Cui Xianghong said coldly, "Yifang, don't think I don't know you've been secretly seeing that kid surnamed Lin again lately?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yifang's eyes reddened slightly as she said, "Father, Senior Brother Lin is sincere. He's different from other men—"

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Cui Xianghong slammed his hand on the armrest and rudely interrupted him, "You keep talking about Senior Brother Lin, do you know that you're about to be engaged?"

"Father, I do not wish to marry a complete stranger." Cui Yifang bit her lip and mustered her courage to retort, "Senior Brother Lin said he is willing to be with me for life, even if it means marrying into my Cui family."

"Hmph, daring to enter my Cui family, I'll break his legs. I don't care what you think, the marriage with Yu Zhen's lineage is not for you to decide."

Cui Xianghong snorted coldly, his expression suddenly turning serious.

"Father, you're trying to drive your daughter to her death!"

Cui Yifang could no longer hold back and protested with a sob in her voice.

Cui Xianghong suddenly stood up, looking down at her with an icy tone: "Cui Yifang, since you were born into the Cui family and have enjoyed the benefits of the family, you should think about the family's future."

"Now that our ancestor has passed away, my cousin Xiangyang has failed to break through to the Central Purple Mansion, and my nephew Chengzu has also perished in the pioneering battle."

"My Cui family walks on thin ice. Which cultivator in our clan doesn't risk their life for the family? Are you just thinking about your own pleasure and enjoying yourself without contributing anything in return?"

Beside them stood a stunningly beautiful woman in a purple dress.

She spoke up at the opportune moment, saying, "Second sister, the Cui family's strength in the sect has greatly diminished, and its influence among the aristocratic families has also waned considerably. Only by uniting with the Yuzhen lineage can we safeguard the interests of our clan."

"Why should I be sacrificed? Why can't it be you, sister, who goes to the arranged marriage?"

Cui Yifang was already feeling wronged, and hearing her sister Cui Yixiu's words made her feel even more heartbroken.

"Hmph, who is your sister? She's one of the Four Beauties of Qingyuan Sect, with a bright future ahead of her."

"If a marriage alliance is to be formed, it should be with someone like the Five Masters of Qingyuan, or a young direct descendant of one of the Eight Great Immortal Cultivation Families."

Cui Xianghong rebuked him sternly.

Upon hearing this, Cui Yifang felt even more sorrowful.

It turns out that in her father's eyes, her older sister, with her superior spiritual root, was worthy of being a prodigy from a sect or aristocratic family.

He himself possessed a mid-grade spiritual root, yet he could only offer it to a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root.

Thinking of this, in a moment of desperation, she took out a flying sword from her storage bag, held the blade to her neck, and tears streamed down her face.

"Anyway, you gave me this life, Father. Since you insist on forcing me, I'll give it back to you now."

After saying that, he prepared to take action.

"Yifang, no!"

Mother Cui was shocked and quickly stepped forward to snatch the flying sword.

She hugged her weeping daughter, turned to Cui Xianghong and said angrily, "Don't you have any other women in the Cui family? Why do you have to force my child like this?"

Upon seeing this, Cui Xianghong's heart softened.

He sighed heavily and said, "After all, the other party is at the Foundation Establishment stage and is Qi Donglou's personal disciple. How can we just send them away with any Cui family girl?"

Mother Cui's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her: "In my opinion, Yixin is very suitable. She is stunningly beautiful, has an outstanding figure, and her spiritual root is the same as his. She is a perfect match."

"Although Yixin is born with a beautiful appearance, she has suffered from a strange illness since childhood. How can we send her to a marriage alliance? If we change her haphazardly, our Cui family will offend Yuzhen's lineage."

Cui Xianghong frowned deeply as he thought of his youngest daughter.

"Why not give it a try? You have no idea how many young men in the Cui family are attracted to this sickly vixen. Besides, as long as we keep quiet about her hidden ailment, how would outsiders know?"

Cui's mother continued to persuade her.

Cui Xianghong snapped impatiently, "Don't call her a vixen, she's your daughter!"

Mother Cui looked disdainful and spat, "Bah, the bastard you brought back from outside, I've never treated her like a daughter."

At that moment, Cui Yifang raised her head and said in a soft voice, "Father, let Yixin go. Yifang only wants to stay by your side and serve you and your mother."

Xiang Hong remained silent for a long time, then let out a long sigh: "Fine, I'll go back to the clan to discuss it first. If there's really no other way, we'll have to let her go."

He was very confident in his youngest daughter's appearance, saying that she was just as beautiful as the four beauties of the Qingyuan Sect.

""

The next day, wisps of red glow appeared on the eastern horizon, and a touch of purplish-red slowly rose.

After completing his morning meditation, Yu Daoxuan noticed a teleportation talisman on the cave's protective barrier.

He raised his hand to summon the talisman in front of him and activated it with his magic power.

The voice of Fourth Senior Sister Zhou Junyi rang out from the talisman, inviting him to the Guanchao Pavilion on Wuyai Peak in two days to attend an inner sect gathering, where many fellow disciples would be present.

"One cannot cultivate in isolation; you should go and take a look."

Yu Daoxuan pondered to himself.

These small gatherings, spontaneously organized by fellow disciples, involve everyone sitting around discussing the Dao, exchanging information, and trading spiritual materials.

He had heard of it before, but had never been there due to various reasons.

He had made up his mind and prepared to draw a second-tier low-grade talisman.

With his current cultivation level, the success rate of drawing a second-grade low-level talisman is far greater than before.

After failing three or four times, he finally succeeded in drawing a Gengjin sword talisman.

Two nights later, we arrived at the Guanchao Pavilion on the back mountain of Wuyaifeng next door.

Upon entering, one sees twenty or thirty inner disciples at the Qi Refining stage already gathered there.

People dispersed in small groups, some sitting and discussing philosophy, others drinking and making merry, and still others playing the zither and flute, creating a leisurely atmosphere.

Many Qi Refining disciples bowed respectfully upon seeing Yu Daoxuan.

"Junior Brother Yu, over here!"

As Yu Daoxuan was looking around, a woman's voice came from the pavilion to his side.

He followed the sound and saw Zhou Junyi sitting in a pavilion with several male and female disciples. Among them were two early Foundation Establishment cultivators and five late Qi Refining cultivators.

A yellow-faced man with Foundation Establishment cultivation sitting at the head of the pavilion looked at Zhou Junyi.

"It is indeed Junior Brother Yu." Zhou Junyi introduced with a smile, "Junior Brother Yu has outstanding talent in talisman making and is highly valued by my master. He has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and given time, he will surely become a second-tier talisman master. If any of you need to draw talismans in the future, you can ask Junior Brother Yu for help."

"A future second-tier rune master?"

Upon hearing this, the seven or eight disciples inside the pavilion all cast curious and friendly glances their way.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Yu Daoxuan remained calm and smiled lightly: "Greetings, fellow disciples. I am Yu Daoxuan. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

"Senior Brother Yu, you're too kind. We should be the ones asking you for advice."

"Junior Brother Yu, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

The yellow-faced man raised his hand to indicate an empty seat.

Yu Daoxuan sat down as instructed, nodded to his fellow disciples on either side, and then glanced at everyone in the pavilion, noticing that most of them belonged to the Yuzhen lineage.

The yellow-faced cultivator leading the group was Pei Ziqian, and he and another Qi Refining male cultivator were both disciples of Senior Uncle Guo Xiaotian.

Apart from Zhou Junyi, the others belonged to Lin Zhao, Elder Cao Can, and Fifth Uncle respectively.

Of course, there are several other disciples in the Yuzhen lineage.

Those such as the second senior brother Lin Zheng and the third senior brother Zhu Hongyi were either out undertaking sect missions or in seclusion for cultivation, so they did not attend.

Although they all came from the same lineage of Yuzhen, they spent most of their time cultivating on different peaks. Yu Daoxuan had only met most of them a few times and they were not very familiar with each other.

Pei Ziqian looked around the pavilion and slowly said, "I imagine most of the Yuzhen lineage disciples who remained in the sect have already gathered. Let's begin our discussion."

After the words were spoken, everyone took turns standing up and sharing their insights into cultivation, according to their cultivation level.

Seeing that everyone had brought out their genuine items and had not held back, Yu Daoxuan explained his own understanding of the Five Elements.

He majored in the "Supreme Golden Chapter," and the two sword techniques he practiced also contained the principles of the Five Elements. After years of studying and comprehending them, he gained the most profound understanding of these principles.

The last story is about Su Jinyin and Pei Ziqian.

Both of them were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but they had established their foundations about ten years earlier than Yu Daoxuan.

The two opponents mainly talked about the Tai Su Zhao Yue Sword Technique and the Lie Huo Tian Gang Sword Technique.

As the sect's two most treasured sword techniques, they are practiced by a large number of people, accounting for almost 60-70% of all inner disciples.

Su Jinyin and Pei Ziqian have been immersed in sword techniques for many years and have gained profound insights.

After listening attentively, Yu Daoxuan verified what he had learned and gained some insights.

Afterwards, while enjoying the spiritual tea, everyone raised the bottlenecks and confusions they encountered on their cultivation journey.

But most of the time, Pei Ziqian and Su Jinyin were the ones answering, while the other Qi Refining disciples were asking questions.

Seeing the atmosphere, Yu Daoxuan chimed in with a few words.

The eight people shared their insights and feelings, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
