Chapter 661 The Lion Opens His Mouth
"This is the truth. If you insist on not believing it, there is nothing I can do."
Xuanyuan Changxu looked at Concubine Jing with an unmoved expression, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "The food is here, but you don't have to eat it. Perhaps when your life is almost over, someone will be able to refine the longevity pill you are looking forward to, which can give you eternal life if you eat it. Who knows?"
".What if there is no such longevity pill by then?"
Xuanyuan Changxu's words moved Concubine Jing's heart for a moment, but she didn't dare to take any risks as the matter was of great importance, so she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will you come back in time to give me that elixir?"
Xuanyuan Changxu: "."
He was speechless for a moment. Facing Concubine Jing, who he didn't know whether she did it on purpose or really didn't understand what he said and who obviously wanted to get his promise, he felt helpless again.
He looked at her and said seriously, "That kind of elixir is impossible to have in the world of cultivation, not to mention the world of immortals and gods. Not to mention that cultivators are not true immortals, even true immortals and gods cannot have infinite lifespans. They will all perish for various reasons."
"Then why are you still coaxing me?" Concubine Jing was immediately disappointed. She glared at Xuanyuan Changxu angrily and said in an extremely dissatisfied tone.
Xuanyuan Changxu: "."
Concubine Jing snorted and snatched the two jade bottles from his hands in embarrassment and anger. She carefully opened the jade bottle with the words "longevity elixir" written on it first.
After sniffing the spiritual energy emanating from the pill with intoxication, Concubine Jing poured it out and saw that there was only one longevity pill, her face immediately turned grim.
But she didn't get angry. Instead, she looked at the beauty pills again. Seeing that there were not many of them, she immediately looked at Xuanyuan Changxu with dissatisfaction: "It's okay to have beauty pills, but why is there only one longevity pill? You have a lot of people on your uncle's side. Even if those who are distantly related don't count, but those who are close by blood, you have several uncles, cousins and a lot of people. You can't just ignore them, right?"
"Mother, do you know how many spirit stones are needed in the cultivation world to obtain this longevity pill in your hand?"
Xuanyuan Changxu laughed out of anger at Concubine Jing's words, and he said coldly, "To refine the longevity pill, you need longevity fruit, and it has to be a longevity fruit that is at least a hundred years old.
Just one longevity fruit that can last for a hundred years needs at least 200,000 spiritual stones to obtain, and it is still in short supply. And one longevity fruit combined with other precious spiritual herbs can only be used to refine two longevity pills at most.
This longevity pill is extremely precious even to my adoptive father, and even my father wants it but cannot get it. You got it and you want to ask for one each from your uncles and cousins?"
Xuanyuan Changxu looked at Concubine Jing with a displeased look on her face, "Mother, this longevity pill is hard to come by. If you really want to give it to one of my uncles, I have no objection.
But I have to say this beforehand, once you give the item away, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to find you another one when you are near the end of your life."
"This longevity pill, is it so precious?" Concubine Jing was shocked. She looked at the longevity pill in her hand and murmured, "I, I thought such pills were everywhere in the cultivation world."
No, she didn't dare keep such a precious thing, so she just ate it and felt more at ease.
Thinking of this, Concubine Jing tilted her head back and swallowed the longevity pill. As soon as the longevity pill entered her stomach, she immediately felt a warm current flowing through her limbs and bones, and she felt relaxed.

Chapter 662: Fright
Watching Concubine Jing swallow the longevity pill, Xuanyuan Changxu said, "Since you want to take your uncle and others to the cultivation world, let's go now. I will take you to Dazhao to meet your uncle and others first."
"Leaving now?"
Concubine Jing looked at Xuanyuan Changxu in surprise, and said with a bit of displeasure on her face: "I have not yet punished those palace servants and concubines who dared to disrespect me over the years."
"Mother, since you are unwilling to stay and enjoy the splendor and wealth of this secular world, then Father will naturally say that you died because you could not stand the scorn of those people over the years."
Considering that this was his biological mother, Xuanyuan Changxu explained even though he was impatient: "So you can't do anything to those people yourself. You have to wait for your father to make the decision."
".Then, wait for me to pack my things."
Concubine Jing was extremely unwilling, but even if she was unwilling, she had no choice. After all, she preferred to return home in glory and show off her son who had become an immortal to her parents' home rather than personally dealing with those people. So after thinking about it, she had to endure it and nodded.
"You don't need to pack them up. These are just mundane things from the secular world. If you bring them to the world of cultivation, you will only be looked down upon."
Xuanyuan Changxu gave Concubine Jing a Qiankun bag and said, "You will know how to use this drop of blood once you recognize its master. There are several sets of robes and magic jewelry that can be used by mortals in the secular world. Those jewelry are not only beautiful in appearance, but also can protect the body at critical moments."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Concubine Jing's eyes lit up, and she immediately bit her fingertip and dripped blood on the Qiankun bag. Then she took out the robes and jewelry in the Qiankun bag and looked at them one by one. The more she looked, the brighter her eyes became, and her face was filled with joy.
"Mother, please choose something to change into. Your son will wait for you outside."
Seeing that Concubine Jing responded perfunctorily and her eyes never left the robes and jewelry, it seemed that it would not be enough for a while, so Xuanyuan Changxu got up and went to the outer room, set up a formation directly, left a puppet to keep an eye on the movements, and went into the secret realm himself.
After a long time, two or three hours, Jing Fei finally chose a set of robes and jewelry to change into. With the Qiankun bag, even though Xuanyuan Changxu said that things in the secular world were not valuable in the world of cultivation, Jing Fei still did not let go and put all her valuable things in it.
Xuanyuan Changxu said nothing about this. He silently took out his flying magic weapon and took her straight to Dazhao.
The flying magic weapon was extremely fast, and the two of them arrived in Dazhao the next day.
Jokhang Palace, Imperial Study.
"Anping, Xu'er? It's you? It's really you? How did you get in?"
Xuanyuan Changxu was impatient to inform the people outside the palace, so he took Concubine Jing quietly into the imperial study of Emperor Dazhao.
Seeing the two of them suddenly, especially his younger sister Jingfei who looked almost the same as when she was in the boudoir and didn't look any older, Dazhao Emperor Jian Qi was quite frightened. He stood up and asked Jingfei anxiously with a pale face, "Did you do something treasonous and escape from Beixu?"
If this is the case, don't let your family get involved? Jian Qi's face suddenly became uncertain.
"Brother, why do you think so?"
Seeing her brother, who hadn't been seen for decades and looked very old, Concubine Jing was both excited and shocked. Before she could recover from the shock, she naturally didn't notice that his face was not right.
But when she heard him say that, Concubine Jing immediately disapproved and said angrily, "Can't you just think about us? We came here because Xu'er became a cultivator, that is, an immortal, and we wanted to help you go to the cultivation world together."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 663: Taking on Everything
What?
Hearing this, Jian Qi was like a pie in the sky. He was so excited that he looked at Xuanyuan Changxu with shining eyes and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, uncle, my mother and I will go to the cultivation world on a chosen day. If you want, uncle, you can choose a few people to go with you. I can help settle them down and let them rely on the Xuanyuan family for at least three hundred years."
Nodding, Xuanyuan Changxu said without any unnecessary expression: "As for the future, whether those people can gain a foothold in the cultivation world depends on themselves."
"Yes, yes. Xu'er originally asked me whether I wanted to stay in the secular world and enjoy the splendor and wealth of the world, or take you to the world of cultivation. When I thought of my father's instructions, I immediately chose to take you to the world of cultivation."
Concubine Jing also nodded repeatedly, and unceremoniously took all the credit for herself in front of Xuanyuan Changxu.
Xuanyuan Changxu glanced at her without any intention of refutation.
Concubine Jing was even happier, and said to Jian Qi, "This is a rare opportunity. You can see who will be left here to succeed the throne, and take the others to the cultivation world. You can also go and enjoy the blessing of your nephew."
"Okay, okay—"
Jian Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed heartily: "Anping, I didn't expect you to be so promising. I'll arrange it right away."
"Uncle, although there are mortals in the world of cultivation, when mortals go there, they cannot use gold, silver, and jewelry from the secular world. They have to use spirit stones.
Although I will give those who go there a sum of spiritual stones as resettlement fees, and also allow those who go there to rely on the Xuanyuan family to have more opportunities to join the sect, but the Xuanyuan family is unlikely to provide the Jian family with spiritual stones.
Everything from now on will depend on you. If too many people go, life will inevitably be difficult in the future, and life will be much more difficult than in the secular world."
Interrupting Jian Qi's words, Xuanyuan Changxu handed him a spirit-testing stone and said, "So, you'd better think twice before you act. Use this spirit-testing stone to test who has spiritual roots first, and select the younger generation of family members with high talent, who have not lost their Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin and can bear the pain. This will prevent you from being caught in a dilemma."
"What dilemma? Won't you still be there when the time comes? Are you really going to ignore everything after you take us to the cultivation world?"
Before Jian Qi could say anything, Xuanyuan Changxu's words made Jing Fei explode. She immediately yelled at him, "I don't believe you will be so cruel as to ignore your uncle's family."
Xuanyuan Changxu: "."
He silently glanced at Concubine Jing who was making promises to Jian Qi, and said nothing.
He had said everything he needed to say. If his uncle didn't listen and was willing to listen to his mother, what else could he do? Xuanyuan Changxu's silence made Concubine Jing even more proud. She smiled at Jian Qi and said, "Brother, you are right to listen to me. Xu'er is not a cruel person. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to the cultivation world. If you miss it, you will never have it again."
That's true.
Concubine Jing's words made Jian Qi, who had been a little hesitant because of Xuanyuan Changxu's words, immediately nod secretly.
My nephew has become an immortal and is willing to help me go to the world of cultivation and rely on the Xuanyuan family. Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
If I miss this opportunity to gain a foothold in the world of cultivation like the Xuanyuan family, and only let a few of my children and grandchildren go, I am afraid that my ancestors would stand up and curse me if they knew about it, right?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 664 Resentment
Jian Qi, who thought he had figured it out, suddenly felt very proud and decided to follow Concubine Jing's instructions and only keep the descendants who would inherit the throne, and take the rest to the world of cultivation.
Hearing that they could go to the world of cultivation, the descendants of the Jian family were all excited. To the extent that the throne, which was once a coveted bun and everyone fought for it, was now avoided by everyone.
For a time, in the capital of Dazhao, the direct line of the Jian royal family was in chaos over who would inherit the throne.
If Jian Qi had not insisted that the throne must be inherited by his own children and grandchildren, his sons would have been eager to bring in people from other branches to inherit the throne.
Xuanyuan Changxu just watched them making a fuss coldly.
He had little contact with his uncle's family, so naturally he didn't have a deep affection for them. He was willing to take them to the cultivation world only for his mother's sake.
It was enough for him to do what he promised before. It was not that he had not reminded him, but his uncle was unwilling to listen to him and only believed in the big cake drawn by his mother. There was nothing he could do, right? When he went to the cultivation world, he would only do what he promised. If his uncle's family felt that life was getting difficult, they would naturally find his mother to fulfill the part of her promise. He only hoped that his mother would not regret it at that time. He could not persuade her, and Xuanyuan Changxu was unwilling to persuade Jingfei again and again. There were too many people from the Jian family going to the cultivation world, so he directly took out the larger magic weapons and sent them directly to the cultivation world.
He helped the Jian family build a not-so-small manor right next to the Xuanyuan family's territory. After settling the Jian family, Xuanyuan Changxu left Jian Qi a booklet introducing common knowledge of the cultivation world and a Qiankun bag, then sent Concubine Jing to the Xuanyuan family and left. Although he did not appear in front of Concubine Jing again, she was his mother after all, and Xuanyuan Changxu did not really ignore Concubine Jing.
In the end, he secretly left a high-level puppet by Concubine Jing's side to protect her.
Through the high-level puppets, Xuanyuan Changxu knew almost everything that happened around Concubine Jing. He watched the Jian family arrive in the world of cultivation, from the initial excitement and excitement, praising Concubine Jing everywhere, to gradually becoming poor and asking for help from Concubine Jing. He hoped to get her help so that he could live a luxurious life in the world of cultivation as in the secular world.
Unfortunately, although Concubine Jing got her wish and became the legal wife of her adoptive father and the wife of the head of the Xuanyuan family, she was just a mortal and could not be truly regarded as a Taoist partner by her adoptive father, let alone recognized by the people in the family.
The Xuan cultivation world is not the secular world. Cultivators do many things by themselves and do not have groups of servants like ordinary people in the secular world. Even though Concubine Jing is the wife of the head of the family, she only has one maid to serve her in the yard.
Moreover, the Yuan family, from top to bottom, only treated her with courtesy. The female members of the family disdained to associate with her, and the chores and maids who served her often disobeyed her in secret.
The Jian family wanted to get the spiritual stones from her, but Concubine Jing was just a mortal, and she had nothing else except her monthly allowance of ten spiritual stones.
At first, the head of the Xuanyuan family often stayed overnight for Xuanyuan Changxu because Concubine Jing had regained her youthful beauty. He also generously agreed to her request to subsidize the Jian family with spiritual stones, promising to provide the Jian family with a supply of 1,000 spiritual stones a year.
However, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to
How could the Jian family be satisfied with a thousand spiritual stones a year? So gradually, the Jian family began to resent Concubine Jing while demanding more.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 665 Regret
How could Concubine Jing not notice the change in the Jian family's attitude towards her?
She secretly groaned. It was not only the Jian family who regretted coming to the world of cultivation. She had also regretted it a long time ago, but it was too late.
Because the Jian family was so greedy, they got a thousand spirit stones every year but still came to her to cry poor from time to time, so that when she saw the head of the Xuanyuan family, she would talk about spirit stones every three sentences.
Faced with the crying complaints from her family, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask for more spirit stones by bringing up her son Xuanyuan Changxu's matter every time, so that the head of the Xuanyuan family gradually looked at her with more and more annoyance, and finally he was unwilling to come again.
She sent people to call for him, but the head of the Xuanyuan family always said that he was in seclusion for cultivation. When she thought of what Xuanyuan Changxu once said, that a cultivator would need several years, decades or even hundreds of years in seclusion, Jing Fei suddenly realized that perhaps the head of the Xuanyuan family would never come again.
Concubine Jing's guess came true.
Because he used the excuse of retreating to practice, the head of the Xuanyuan family did not openly take in another concubine. She could not even find an excuse to get angry. Not only did she never see her husband and son again for the rest of her life, but even the people of the Jian family completely lost their good face to her because of the one thousand spirit stones that year. In the end, they hated each other and never had any contact with each other until they died.
When she was about to die, Concubine Jing saw Xuanyuan Changxu finally appearing before her again. She burst into tears and cursed him with hatred and resentment: "You unfilial son, why did you come just now? How can you be so cruel and ignore your own mother?"
Looking at her expressionlessly, Xuanyuan Changxu said without any expression on his face: "Mom, I have already said that you are just a mortal. You will not be able to integrate into the world of cultivation. It is better to stay in the secular world to truly enjoy the glory and wealth of this time, but you just don't listen and insist on coming here."
Princess Jing: "."
She was speechless for a while, then complained with tears streaming down her face: "I regretted it a long time ago. If you hadn't always been away, I would have been able to return to the secular world and enjoy its splendor and wealth."
Xuanyuan Changxu frowned and looked at Concubine Jing: "You only have one choice."
"Why can I only choose once? You are an immortal, and an immortal with profound cultivation. It would be easy for you to send me and even your uncle's family back to the secular world."
Xuanyuan Changxu's words angered Concubine Jing, and she cried even louder: "My life here is even harder than when you disappeared. Although there is spiritual energy here and we eat spiritual food, it seems much better than the secular world.
But everyone here is disgusting, even your uncle and his men have completely changed. I don't want to stay here any longer, but you never come. How can you be so cruel? I am your own mother."
Concubine Jing cried her heart out and became more and more resentful the more she spoke. She was so excited that she couldn't breathe. She stared at Xuanyuan Changxu with her eyes open until her last breath.
Did she just die like that?
The feeling of fear gripped Concubine Jing's heart. She opened her eyes with a start and saw that she was taking a nap in the palace. Her maid was fanning her with a palace fan. Concubine Jing: "."
Before she could show any ecstasy on her face, she saw Xuanyuan Changxu suddenly appear in front of her, just like she had dreamed before. Concubine Jing could not help but stare at Xuanyuan Changxu in a daze, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Then, she soon saw a confused look in Xuanyuan Changxu's eyes. She was startled again, and subconsciously imitated her reaction in the dream, and asked with a look of joy on her face: "Xu'er, you are back?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 666: Concubine Jing's Revenge 1
As soon as she said this, she suddenly remembered the grievances she had suffered in the world of cultivation over the years and in her dreams, and she burst into tears again to Xuanyuan Changxu.
While crying, Concubine Jing asked Xuanyuan Changxu, "Where have you been all these years? You are so cruel. How could you be so cruel as to abandon your mother?"
If it weren't so, how could those people in the cultivation world dare to look down on her so much over the years? How could her family turn against her in the end? Concubine Jing couldn't forget her previous experiences in the cultivation world, but she had almost forgotten all the hatred for being treated coldly in Beixu's palace.
"Mother, I didn't mean to abandon you."
Looking at Concubine Jing with a complicated expression, Xuanyuan Changxu sighed and explained, "Back then, I was chased by a Jindan-stage cultivator. Fortunately, Qingyin appeared and saved me at the critical moment. Otherwise, I would have been a pile of bones long ago."
"It was Mu Qingyin who saved you again?"
Concubine Jing subconsciously looked at Xuanyuan Changxu with a half-believing and half-doubting look when he said this, and suddenly paused, only to find that this conversation was unusually familiar. She was stunned again, and after a while, she tentatively continued to answer according to the reaction in the dream.
Xuanyuan Changxu pretended not to know about Concubine Jing's strange behavior. The mother and son asked and answered each other until Xuanyuan Changxu asked again: "I came back today to ask you, mother. Now that you are a cultivator, do you want to stay in this secular world and enjoy the true glory and wealth of this world, or do you still want to follow your son to the world of cultivation?"
Concubine Jing suddenly jumped up and replied impatiently: "I want to stay in the secular world."
Regardless of whether what she had experienced before was really her previous life or just a dream, Concubine Jing gritted her teeth when she thought about the life she would live after entering the world of cultivation.
Not only did she hate her family, she no longer had the mood to seek benefits for them. She also felt extremely resentful towards the head of the Xuanyuan family.
Thinking that if she wanted to take revenge on the head of the Xuanyuan family, she was afraid that no other method would work. Suddenly, Concubine Jing no longer cared about shame and asked Xuanyuan Changxu, "If I stay in the secular world, can I do whatever I want? I can go wherever I want, and I don't have to worry about your father and foster father looking for my faults if I want to remarry?"
"That's right. As long as you don't disregard human life and do evil things that anger the gods and the people, you can do whatever you want and go wherever you want, whether you want to remarry or want to keep a few people around you."
Xuanyuan Changxu was embarrassed for a while because he had not expected Concubine Jing to ask such a question. Fortunately, he had been to the Interstellar Civilization Empire, and his ideas had been broadened a lot. He had long since stopped believing that women should be faithful to one man.
Life is short, and the life span of mortals is only a hundred years. It would be too cruel if I let my mother live the rest of her life in seclusion.
So Xuanyuan Changxu nodded and said, "I have discussed with my father. If you are willing to stay in the world of cultivation, then the Empress Jing in the palace will be killed and replaced by the Emperor's younger sister Princess Changle who has returned from the world of cultivation. Since my mother has changed her identity to Princess Changle, she can naturally recruit a prince consort as she wishes."
After a pause, he continued, "Although my mother's identity has changed from now on, and she can no longer openly acknowledge me as her son. But you can rest assured that as long as I am here, and as long as you have not done anything evil or wrong, no one will dare to do anything to you."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 667: Concubine Jing's Revenge 2
Xuanyuan Changxu took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to Concubine Jing. After teaching her how to use it, he said, "In addition to the robes and magic jewelry my son gave you, there are also three paper cranes for communication.
If you really have been wronged, you can tell me through the paper crane. As long as it is not your fault, I will solve the problem even if I cannot come in time, and I will not let you really suffer any injustice. "
This kind of paper crane was not given to me by my son in my "previous life". It can be seen that he really didn't want me to go to the world of cultivation at that time, so I had to go there to make him really angry, so that he didn't show up until I was about to die. He recognized the Qiankun bag as his master and didn't take out the things. He only used his spiritual power to probe into it and saw that the robes, magic weapons and jewelry inside were indeed the ones given to him by his son in his "previous life". Jing Fei felt sour and indescribable in her heart.
Thinking of her son's ruthlessness in his "previous life", she realized that her son had changed. She was really afraid that if she made a scene again, he would leave and never come back, and she would not see him again until she was dying, and no one would support her if she ran into trouble. Concubine Jing did not dare to make a scene, but just nodded silently.
Looking at Xuanyuan Changxu dimly, Concubine Jing couldn't help but said, "Xu'er, how can three paper cranes be enough for communication? What if mother misses you and wants to talk to you?"
"Mom, this paper crane is for you to use at the critical moment."
Hearing that Concubine Jing was using the excuse of missing him, but in fact she wanted to get a few more paper cranes, as if she was going to complain to him whenever there was a small problem, Xuanyuan Changxu let out a mocking smile: "Even if I go to the cultivation world, I can't ignore you and not care about you. As long as I have free time, I will still come to see you every few years."
You have never been here in your previous life. She repeated this several times, knowing that Xuanyuan Changxu was unwilling to send her more paper cranes. Jing Fei finally nodded in frustration, and decided in her heart that she would never use the paper crane unless it was absolutely necessary.
After this incident, she realized that her son was really heartless and ungrateful. He would not recognize his relatives at all. She could not take the risk.
She was changed from Concubine Jing to Princess Changle, and lived in a magnificent princess mansion built by the emperor, which was even more luxurious than the empress's palace. She also received countless gold, silver and jewelry, and was given the privilege of not having to perform formalities when meeting the emperor and empress. It was no longer right to call her Concubine Jing, but Princess Changle.
The first thing Princess Changle did after moving into the princess mansion was to recruit young men to serve her.
With the countless gold and silver treasures bestowed by the emperor, and the 10% of the income from Changsheng Tower sent by Xuanyuan Changxu every month, Princess Changle lived an exceptionally comfortable life.
In the capital city of Beixu, the Changsheng Tower opened by Xuanyuan Changxu is still standing even though Xuanyuan Changxu was gone for twenty or thirty years.
Xuanyuan Changxu gave one tenth of the profits from Changsheng Tower to Princess Changle, and the rest, together with the profits from Yipin Pavilion under the name of Mu Qingyin, were used to build countless Ci'en Halls and orphanages in various countries in the secular world.
The Kuang family learned the benefits of doing good and accumulating virtue, so they did not dispose of the family business before leaving the secular world and moved to the world of cultivation. They also invested most of their profits into it. Princess Changle, who stayed in Beixujing, saw that she had more and more lovers, and no one dared to interfere in her affairs.
She knew that as long as she did not act out of line and did not do evil, no one could threaten her or give her a hard time. Suddenly, she became more fearless, acting arrogantly, and doing everything according to her own preferences.
No matter who it was, as long as she felt a little uncomfortable, she would not give them face, even if it was the Queen. She dared to embarrass them directly in person, and would not give them the slightest bit of face.
Soon, no one dared to provoke her easily, from the palace to the outside. No matter what people talked about behind her back, no one dared to disrespect her in public.
Secretly, Xuanyuan Changxu still placed a high-level puppet next to her. Seeing that she did not harm anyone but only did some infuriating things, he let her do what she wanted.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 668 Annoyed
After settling Concubine Jing, he and Mu Qingyin led all the members of the Kuang family to move to the world of cultivation.
Facing the arrival of the Kuang family, Xuanyuan Zhi, the head of the Xuanyuan family and the biological father of Xuanyuan Changxu, was particularly attentive. He first found a place for the Kuang family to settle near the Xuanyuan family, and then proposed an alliance between the two families.
Neither Old Master Kuang nor Kuang Zhihai refused Xuanyuan Zhi's kindness.
Because the star beasts given by Xuanyuan Changxu and Mu Qingyin have protected the secret of the two families for ten thousand years, Xuanyuan Changxu and Mu Qingyin have told them not to tell the Xuanyuan family, but just to lend a hand when necessary. Therefore, Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai have long wanted to settle their family near the Xuanyuan family.
Xuanyuan Zhi's approach was exactly what the two of them wanted.
As for the alliance, even though the Kuang family is not well-known now and has no foundation, the Kuang family has the planetary secret realm given by Mu Qingyin, which is a secret realm with spiritual veins, spiritual stone mines and time formations. Neither Old Master Kuang nor Kuang Zhihai thinks that the Kuang family will not be able to catch up with the Xuanyuan family in the future.
From what Mu Qingyin had learned, Xuanyuan Changxu was obviously biased towards his own family and had not given the Xuanyuan family the planetary secret realm. Old Master Kuang, Old Madam Kuang, and Kuang Zhihai were all secretly proud, and they felt confident when they were with the Xuanyuan family.
After the Kuang family, along with most of their guards, had finally settled down in the world of cultivation, the Xuanyuan family immediately spread the news that Xuanyuan Changxu and Mu Qingyin had already cultivated to the Mahayana stage and were about to hold a dual cultivation ceremony, and they widely invited guests to attend the dual cultivation ceremony.
As soon as this news spread, the entire cultivation world was in an uproar.
Even though they didn't know who Xuanyuan Changxu and Mu Qingyin were, all the major sects and families still prepared generous gifts. Even if the leaders or patriarchs of the major sects could not come in person, they would definitely send their disciples to come.
Just when everyone was proud to receive the invitation from the Xuanyuan family, and seeing that there were only a few days left before the dual cultivation ceremony of Xuanyuan Changxu and Mu Qingyin, Xuanyuan Zhi's Yue family still hadn't received the invitation from the Xuanyuan family and were confused.
Xuanyuan Zhi's father-in-law, Lu Tai, the head of the Lu family, said to his eldest son, Lu Kun, with a look of surprise at home: "Go find your brother-in-law and ask him what's going on. How come everyone else received the invitation, but our family didn't? Did something go wrong?"
"Could it be that Xuanyuan Zhi's previous politeness to our family was all fake? So just because someone with some ability appeared in his clan, he deliberately wanted to lose face for us?"
Lu Kun frowned and said, "This shouldn't be the case. Even though my sister has been unwilling to let him take a concubine these years, we had already mentioned this to him when our two families got married, and he nodded his head.
Back then, he and his family did not raise any objections, even though his sister had not given him any children in recent years. But how could he blame his sister? It is not easy for us cultivators to have children, and even if he took concubines, it would be useless. Why did he have the nerve to blame his sister for this?"
"Well, stop making random guesses and go take a look at what's going on."
With a gloomy face, even though he was angry, Lu Tai still said: "The time for the cultivation ceremony of those two people is not far away. I am afraid that you will not have enough time to run back and forth. You might as well bring the gifts directly to avoid being late. If our family members don't show up, outsiders will probably talk about it."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 669 Something is wrong 1
"good."
Even though he felt very aggrieved, Lu Kun still knew the importance of things. He knew that his brother-in-law's Xuanyuan family had a Mahayana cultivator and married another Mahayana cultivator.
He was a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, a powerful person who had not appeared in their Qingcang Continent for at least a hundred years.
Now, apart from the Xuanyuan family and the unknown Kuang family, which was said to have just moved from the secular world, that is, the Xuanyuan family's in-laws, there are less than five left in the entire Qingcang Continent.
At most, they can only stay in Qingcang Continent for less than a hundred years.
Usually, when a cultivator reaches the Mahayana stage, he can suppress his cultivation before ascending to heaven, and stay in the lower realm for a period of time before overcoming the tribulation and ascending to heaven.
It is said that this period can be as long as four or five hundred years.
However, not all cultivators dare to stay for such a long time, because it is said that the longer they stay, the more likely they are to fail to pass the tribulation.
Therefore, most Mahayana cultivators will be able to ascend to heaven within a hundred years.
But if a family or sect has no one to take over, most of them will only stay for another one or two hundred years.
However, it is rumored that Xuanyuan Changxu of the Xuanyuan family and Mu Qingyin of the Kuang family have both decided to stay for at least four hundred years before ascending.
Moreover, during these four hundred years, he would not just stay in seclusion, but would not only protect the children of the two families as they went to the secret realm for trials, but would also personally impart his cultivation experience and guide them in their cultivation so that the children of the two families could grow up quickly.
If the fact that the Xuanyuan family and the suddenly emerging Kuang family produced two Mahayana cultivators overnight was something that people envied and feared, then rumors like this would make people jealous.
But no matter whether it is envy, jealousy or fear, facing these two major families, the other major families and sects in the world of cultivation now want to get close to them the most.
What is the best way to get close to them now, other than attending their dual cultivation ceremony and presenting a great gift? The big sects and families will not have trouble getting invitations, and most of the families and sects with a little background in the cultivation world are now proud to get an invitation.
In this situation, if the Lu family, as the relatives of the Xuanyuan family, did not receive the invitation and failed to show up, what would the world think of them? Shuddering, Lu Kun did not dare to think about it any further.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded quickly to Lu Tai, saying, "Don't worry, father. Even if the Xuanyuan family really becomes arrogant because of the addition of two Mahayana cultivators, I will swallow this anger for the sake of the overall situation."
"Go ahead and increase the gift by 30%." Lu Tai's face looked very bad, but he acquiesced to Lu Kun's words and waved his hand weakly at him.
Nodding, Lu Kun knew that his father felt as aggrieved as he did, so he walked out without saying anything more.
After rushing all the way, Lu Kun, along with his men and several bags full of gifts, finally arrived at the Xuanyuan family two days before the dual cultivation ceremony of Xuanyuan Changxu and Mu Qingyin.
In the past, he was respectful and polite to me, and hurriedly let me in when he saw me. But now he is indifferent to me, not only looking down on me, but also looking down on me, as if I were poor relatives who came to ask for money. What's even more infuriating is that he refused to let me in and slammed the door shut, saying that he would inform the doorman.
Lu Kun almost lost his composure. He had never suffered such humiliation before and his forehead suddenly became red. He wanted to rush in and curse at everyone regardless of the consequences.

Chapter 670 Something is Wrong 2
"Young Master, don't be impulsive. This is too abnormal. Please be patient for now. When you see me, ask me if anything happened."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Kun's trusted guards quickly grabbed him and tried to persuade him.
Something is really wrong.
Lu Kun's anger quickly cooled down, and he stared at the closed door of Xuanyuan Family with an ugly expression. He took a deep breath and said with gritted teeth, "Then wait a little longer. I also want to hear what Xuanyuan Zhi has to say. Is it possible that the villain has become so arrogant after his success that he has completely forgotten the support of our Lu Family behind him?"
Back then, Xuanyuan Zhi was not the only one who wanted to become the head of the Xuanyuan family. However, Xuanyuan Zhi approached his younger sister and came to ask for marriage, and promised not to take concubines, which made his family support him to seize the throne.
Over the years, he secretly admitted that his younger sister had indeed gone too far. Even though she had not given birth to a child for Xuanyuan Zhi, she was unwilling to give in and allow Xuanyuan Zhi to take a concubine and let other women give birth to children for him.
But thinking that she was his biological sister after all, and that Xuanyuan Zhi himself had promised not to take a concubine, he should have expected this outcome.
Unexpectedly, Lu Kun and his men waited at the gate of Xuanyuan Family with full of anger and disappointment. Even though he did not wait too long, he was invited in by the gatekeeper in just a cup of tea. However, he knew very well in his heart that in just this short period of time, Xuanyuan Family had openly shown to everyone that the relationship between Lu Family and Xuanyuan Family would no longer be the same as before.
"Why?"
Seeing Xuanyuan Zhi, Lu Kun asked with anger in his eyes: "Over the years, our Lu family has not done anything to offend your Xuanyuan family. Aren't you afraid that people will say something bad about you if you treat your in-laws like this?"
"In-laws?" Looking at Lu Kun, who was trying his best to hold back even though he was furious, Xuanyuan Zhi sneered and said, "We can't afford to have in-laws like your Lu family. Since you're here today, take this divorce letter and take the person away."
"Xuanyuan Zhi, what do you mean?"
After taking the divorce letter that flew in front of him and taking a look at it, Lu Kun finally couldn't help but punch Xuanyuan Zhi.
Xuanyuan Zhi naturally would not let him beat him. His cultivation was already comparable to Lu Kun's. In the past few days, he had received the elixir that could improve his cultivation and was refined by Mu Qingyin, which was given by Xuanyuan Changxu. His cultivation was now much higher than that of Lu Kun.
He immediately dodged and said to Lu Kun, "Don't think that my decision is cruel and ungrateful. If you knew what your sister did, you should be grateful that I let her go so easily. This is already a consideration for our relationship as husband and wife for so many years."
"Well, let me ask you, what on earth did she do that angered the heavens and the people that made your Xuanyuan family just cross the river and destroy the bridge, and you still think you are merciful?"
As early as when he entered the door, Lu Kun noticed that Xuanyuan Changxu's cultivation had improved. This was also on the territory of the Xuanyuan family, so Lu Kun naturally couldn't really argue with him.
So when Xuanyuan Zhi avoided his punch, Lu Kun did not continue to chase him and beat him, but instead asked.
"Xuanyuan Changxu is my son, but he has been left in the secular world all these years."
