Cultivation: I can reincarnate in the heavens

…

…

After burying Concubine of Song Dynasty.

Xu Xing stayed in Biyuan Mountain Cave for half a day, and finally made up his mind to return to Fengxi Country to see Zhao Yunniang for the last time.

Or ask...whether he will follow the path of immortality.

Swing the sword to cut off the love thread.

Even if you can clearly see the pros and cons of things in this world. But it is impossible to escape the word love.

Back then, he was imprisoned for corruption at Taipu Temple, and then he met Zhao Yunniang, the shepherd of Wangyue Tower sent by Han Sui...

It seems unlikely that the two of them had any kind of relationship over the past forty years.

Raise your eucalyptus to your eyebrows...

Help each other...

The two behaved as a couple.

The love left behind in Nanyuan is the deep love between the sword and the sword. The lie that I created myself eventually deceived myself once...

Shenjing, on the watchtower in the palace city.

Xu Xing looked in the direction of Kunhua Palace, shook his head, let out a long sigh, turned into a ray of light and rushed over.

This time, he didn't use the breath gathering technique.

Is... Your Majesty is here?

In the main hall, in the inner room separated by a screen, Zhao Yunniang was half-lying on the phoenix couch to rest. When the sound of Xu Xing's feet hitting the floor reached her ears, she guessed the identity of the person walking.

I hope your majesty will forgive me, but my concubine’s appearance has declined and it is inconvenient to welcome the emperor again...

After more than 40 years of marriage, Zhao Yunniang made this trivial request to Xu Xing for the first time. Very humble.

As a shepherd, it would be too high a level for her to match Xu Xing. Therefore, she did not dare to make any demands on Xu Xing because she was afraid of being accused of being greedy and excessive.

I allow you.

Xu Xing stood outside the screen. With his eyesight, he could pierce the barrier of the screen without casting any spells, and see inside...the silver-haired first wife who was already in her late twilight years.

He waved his hand and asked all the maids in the inner hall of Kunhua Palace to retreat.

At this moment, the huge Kunhua Palace was given to them, the emperor and the empress.

In the quiet palace, Xu Xing paces. He is a little far away from Zhao Yunniang. You can make requests to me, Xiandao. Zhang'er wants to leave, and he begs me... Although I didn't agree, but you made requests, I I may not agree. The relationship between you and me is far greater than the father-son relationship between me and Zhang'er...

When it came to the next few sentences, he spoke a little louder and his voice was a little hasty.

The restlessness in his heart.

In these few sentences, it is revealed vividly.

Xu Xing knew why Zhao Yunniang kept silent and didn't ask him for anything.

Knowing how to advance or retreat... Behind the scenes is the bitter past.

The love between emperors and empresses that the world envies is just false marketing. All people in the world don't know it, but Zhao Yunniang, the person beside her, knows it all.

If I do this, I am afraid that Your Majesty will underestimate me. Even though I have gifts, I am so heartless...

With a screen, I am old again. After boldly making a request for the first time. Zhao Yunniang spoke more and more freely, as if there was no one else around.

She pulled the thin blanket off her legs. As I get older, my legs tremble badly when the weather gets cold. She got off the bed, walked to the dressing table, sat on the round table, and studied her appearance carefully.

I can see some of her former beauty.

She pulled out the drawer under the dresser and took out a small box. Opening the box reveals a dazzling array of jewelry.

Phoenix hairpin, jade hairpin, flower hairpin….

When she got older, people would make fun of her wearing bright jewelry in private, so she sealed up her old belongings.

Today, Your Majesty can visit me again, and after saying these words, I am satisfied...

I said something to dissatisfy Your Majesty. I was sent by Mr. Han to leave seeds for Your Majesty. After nearly two months of love, I have no feelings for Your Majesty.

but……

Zhao Yunniang recalled how she fled to Guzhou City in the south of Jiangxi Province. After His Majesty became king, he was willing to find his concubine, and the concubine became more affectionate towards His Majesty. Later... later

…I won’t say it anymore…

She shook her head.

It was a hasty marriage.

The cell, the red curtain... She was given to Xu Xing like a piece of cargo.

Even though there were many twists and turns later, she, a humble Zhangtai native, became the queen of a country.

But after all, she and Xu Xing were not childhood sweethearts, and it was not the words of a matchmaker or the fate of their parents...

If, as Xu Xing said, she asked for something more from Xu Xing, then... Xu Xing's husband would definitely look down upon her because of this.

Now that she has regained her face, how can she be willing to be looked down upon by the person next to her?

So, this silence has reached the end of the day.

If it happens again, I'm afraid you and I will still end up like today...

Xu Xing closed his eyes, feeling a little sad in his heart.

See through the world again, see through everything again. But such things are inevitable.

In the past, he was very unkind to Zhao Yunniang and her son. Because from the beginning, although Zhao Yunniang was ordered by Han Sui to leave a seed for him, she also came with the mission of killing him. She almost killed him several times with the poison of Musk Dragon Powder.

After he was released from prison, separated from the country, and founded the country, Zhao Yunniang's attitude of not fighting or snatching made him have a little bit of affection for his first wife.

After all, humans are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless?

If he had another chance to choose his destiny, he thought, he and Zhao Yunniang would still reach this point...

No matter how high-ranking the people are, they will be tricked by fate.

This time, since I'm here, Yun Niang, you have a chance to choose...

A teardrop slipped from Xu Xing's cheek. He opened his eyes and spoke softly but firmly.

The immortal way is not a ruthless way.

He decided to abandon Zhao Yunniang and her son before because taking them to seek immortality together would do more harm than good.

At that time, he had not yet reached the stage of returning the elixir, and had no ability to control his own destiny. The path to immortality is still difficult for oneself, so how can one have enough time to help others?

Now, he has reached the realm of returning elixir. The ability to control a part of your own destiny. When I met Song Yunuo, I searched my heart and found that although I was ruthless, I couldn't let go of Zhao Yunniang's feelings...

The choices you make at different times will change depending on various circumstances.

Although taking Zhao Yunniang on the immortal path now would still do more harm than good. But Xu Xing felt that if he didn't do this, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

Even if... Zhao Yunniang's qualifications were not good enough, it would still be better for him to die in the middle of seeking immortality than to do nothing.

I am your husband...

You...don't have to treat me like a stranger.

Xu Xing saw that Zhao Yunniang was just dressing up inside the screen and didn't reply to him. He hesitated for a moment and said again.

The words fell.

In the inner hall of Kunhua Palace, the atmosphere is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop.

His Majesty……

Do you want to force my concubine to death?

After sipping the fat paper, Zhao Yunniang finally responded to Xu Xing's words. But what she said was neither a request nor a rejection, and it was unexpected.

Before Xu Xing could reply, Zhao Yunniang took a deep breath, and her delicate body trembled slightly. She looked at Xu Xing on the other side through the screen. Yunniang was old, and even if she could seek immortality, but... the cost involved, had your Majesty ever experienced it? Overcount?

Your Majesty is proficient in arithmetic. It should not be difficult to calculate this matter.

She gave a slight blessing and said.

Not difficult.

Xu Xing hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Yun Niang heard that His Majesty once mentioned the great world of immortality. I wonder how many resources Yun Niang needs to break through the innate realm, how many resources are needed to break through the immortal base realm, how many resources are needed to break through the realm of returning elixir...

Zhao Yunniang asked.

Her behavior at this time did not look like a virtuous wife. On the contrary, she is a bit like the Queen Regent giving orders to the officials in the court.

Given your qualifications, you are already old. You need to buy a Child Rejuvenation Pill first to restore vitality in the body, and then buy the Xiantian Pill...

First

Tianyi realm requires at least 57,643 spirit shells.

To break the Immortal Foundation, you need to spend at least 110,000 spirit shells to purchase three foundation-building pills.

In the realm of Immortal Foundation, the Immortal Foundation condensed by elixirs is not flawless. There are leaks in the Immortal Foundation. The cultivation is slow and one is almost trapped in the early stage of Immortal Foundation.

Unless you spend a lot of money to buy the Xia Sheng Dan, a Xia Sheng Dan is worth 150,000 spirit shells...

At this point, Xu Xing stopped talking.

It is not easy for ordinary cultivators with no qualifications to ascend the path of immortality...

The resources they consume are often equivalent to several times the resources consumed by ordinary qualified monks of the same realm.

However, it was difficult to find the Immortal Basic Stage, but it was not difficult for him to use his resources to push Zhao Yunniang's cultivation to the Innate Stage.

It's just that in the Xiantian realm where pills are piled up, the lifespan will probably not reach two hundred years.

More than a hundred years... should be enough for him to achieve Dao Dan.

By then, Yu Zhao Yunniang’s Fairy Foundation Realm resources will be much better...

That being the case...

Does your Majesty want to kill my concubine?

Zhao Yunniang walked out from the screen and looked at Xu Xing. She saw Xu Xing's eyes dodge for a moment when he saw her old appearance, and then she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't want to look directly at my concubine today when you see her old appearance?" What about other days?

You and I can grow in love over time, and we can also grow tired of each other over time.

This concubine is a drag on His Majesty’s immortal ways. One day, a hundred days, and ten years are all right, and your majesty will still be as affectionate to my concubines as before. But a hundred years from now, I’m afraid this will no longer be the case….

After saying that, she sighed quietly.

She seeks immortality with Xu Xing, and she is just a canary in a cage by Xu Xing's side.

She saw this very clearly.

Everyone in the world is envious of immortality.

She is no exception.

It's just that... she doesn't want to seek immortality under the cover of Xu Xing's wings.

In this life, Yun Niang will please His Majesty. Already satisfied. If she is rejected by His Majesty on her way to immortality, Yun Niang... will not be willing to die in peace...

she snapped.

When she was young, she had seen all the hardships of the world in Wangyue Tower.

How many young men and beautiful women are like glue, but in the end, most of them end miserably.

Eachother's pledge... always takes credit!

…

…

After some words.

Xu Xing did not answer Zhao Yunniang's fatal rhetorical question.

He flicked his sleeves and robe, turned and left. She seemed angry at Zhao Yunniang's rudeness.

However, he did not leave Shenjing, nor the imperial palace, nor Kunhua Palace. Instead, he pushed open the palace door and sat on the steps outside the door.

Under the setting sun, Xu Xing took out his old sword. A sword forged in Siming Mountain. He laid the sword across his knees, took off its scabbard, and flicked the blade with his fingers.

Follow your finger movements.

The sound of clanging swords echoed throughout the fields.

Is it... Orchid Song, the favorite song played by Miss Xiangxue, the oiran of Wangyue Tower?

Zhao Yunniang, who was sobbing in the palace, raised her head in surprise and looked outside the room. She looked at Xu Xing's thin back and murmured to herself.

More than forty years ago.

During the Chongming Dynasty, Miss Xiangxue from Wangyue Tower was famous throughout the country for her song "Orchid", and she became one of the seven oirans in Shenjing.

Yes, he is an eighth-grade official, the Dian Mang Cheng of Taipu Temple, and he has certainly been to Wangyue Tower...

Zhao Yunniang thought to herself.

She was bought by Han Sui, the imperial servant, at Wangyue Tower.

Xu Xing was once a subordinate of Han Sui, the imperial servant. The Huajie and Liuxiang that Han Sui often visited was Wangyue Tower, so it was normal for officials of Taipu Temple to go to Wangyue Tower.

In the closed palace door.

Zhao Yunniang listened to the familiar melody and danced gracefully to the Hu Xuan dance that Miss Xiangxue had rehearsed for their dancers.

It's just that she is old, and after dancing for a while, she was out of breath.

Outside the door, the music stopped.

She opened the door, and there was no trace of Xu Xing, leaving only a flash of green and red light in the starry sky in the distance.

And...the iron sword fell at the door.

…

…

Feiyu Fairy Palace.

The outer gate is Lushi Hall.

I have something to ask of Senior Brother Jiang...

Even though he had reached the Dan Returning Realm, Xu Xing still followed the rules and called Jiang Yan his senior brother instead of following the sect's established practice of calling Jiang Yan, a monk in the Immortal Base Realm, his senior nephew.

What's up……

Jiang Yan was curious.

With his cultivation at the eighth level of the Immortal Foundation, he couldn't even detect the depth of Xu Xing's cultivation at this moment. So, it is obvious that Xu Xing's realm is far above the eighth level of Immortal Foundation at this moment, and has even reached the realm of Xudan or Jade Liquid.

A first-class true disciple, a direct disciple of Lord Dao, mobilizes more resources than him. He didn't know if Xu Xing had anything to trouble him.

Junior Brother has always admired Senior Brother Jiang for his work.

To be fair to Senior Brother Jiang, Junior Brother has a secular wife...

Xu Xing told a selective part of Zhao Yunniang's story.

This time, the junior brother finished his seclusion and returned to the sect to visit relatives, just because he wanted to meet his wife... Now that he has achieved fame...

He shook his head and sighed. Then, he took out a storage bag from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yan. These are some magic weapons and resources that the junior brother has accumulated. After selling them, they should be able to replace the resources that Fa Wife needs in the Xiantian Realm and to break through the Xiantian Realm...

Although Zhao Yunniang did not choose to leave with him, Xu Xing also did not want to be a disloyal person.

The magic weapons and resources in this bag are worth at least 100,000 spirit shells, which are enough for Zhao Yunniang to practice to the innate realm and even the immortal realm.

Junior brother's intention...

Brother, generally speaking, I understand somewhat.

Jiang Yan nodded, admiring Xu Xing even more in his heart. This is a man who cherishes old favors and never abandons his wife who has fallen into disgrace.

I will issue a task in the Hall of Lushi, and then let Nie Shu take over the task. Nie Shu has always been good at doing things. She will guide you in getting a wife...

Jiang Yan patted his chest and agreed to Xu Xing's request.

One hundred thousand spirit shells are equivalent to the income earned by the Immortal Base monks of Feiyu Immortal Palace who have been stationed outside for a hundred years.

Money moves people's hearts.

Without a reliable helper, he really didn't dare to issue this task.

only……

Jiang Yan paused, if a virtuous and arrogant woman is not willing to accept this kindness as Junior Brother Xu said... Senior Brother will let Nie Shu stay in the mortal world for twenty years until...

(Kang Li can also refer to his wife alone. "Selected Works·Zuo Si's Poems No. 7": Maichen picked firewood, and Kang Li was uneasy at home. Zhang Xian's note: Kang Li refers to his wife.)

He didn't say the next words, the meaning was obvious.

It is also difficult for him to ask Zhao Yunniang to choose the path of immortality.

We can only do our best to make Nie Shu wait for Zhao Yunniang in the mortal world for twenty years. This task will not be completed until Zhao Yunniang dies...
