Immortal Palace Longevity

"The lifespan of a demon beast is much longer than that of a cultivator."

"After the cultivation level is raised to the third level and the path to becoming a dragon is taken, Xiaoqing is most likely to keep up with me."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will accompany me for the longest time."

"Even if Xiaoqing stays at the third level for a lifetime, her lifespan will be close to two thousand years, comparable to a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage."

"And at present, I am not sure that I can advance to the next level, let alone help Jiang Qiushui, Ji Ruyan and others."

"To some extent, it has become my most important assistant and can accompany me for the longest time."

"I have to admit that after embarking on the path to becoming a dragon, Xiaoqing's value and importance will exceed that of several concubines."

After leaving the spirit beast room, Liu Yu had this thought in his mind, and he marveled at the magic of fate.

This is how demon beasts are, their bloodline is better than anything else, and is more fundamental than the spiritual roots of cultivators.

It has been less than a month since the start of the Chang'an plan, and Liu Yu did not rush to practice.

Instead, he sat on the Tai Shi chair, thinking about what preparations were not done well and whether there were any omissions.

With the "Instant Thousand Miles Talisman" and various trump cards, he has a stronger ability to save his life than ordinary Jindan cultivators.

But he didn't want to come back alive and have his hard-earned foundation destroyed.

After thinking again and again, Liu Yu found that he had done everything he could do at present, and there was nothing missing.

"Then before leaving, let's go to the secular world to see the current Liu family."

"Liu's grace will be cut off in seven generations."

"Now it's the fifth generation."

He muttered to himself, then got up and walked out of the cave.

Without saying hello to any cultivator, he turned into a green escape light and quietly left the sect.

...

"Dong Dong Dong"

Accompanied by the loud sound of gongs and drums, two rows of ceremonial guards appeared on the left and right, and a team of soldiers led the way in front.

The people looked over and saw a team of gongs and drums appearing at the other end of the street.

A young man was dignified, riding a golden saddle and red-maned horse, leading the way with flags and drums, and surrounded by people, with extraordinary style.

Soldiers held up signs on both sides, one saying "Silence" and the other saying "Stay Away".

"Congratulations to Liu Xiu, the eighth son of the Liu family, for passing the imperial examination!"

As the voice fell, servants with quick hands and feet distributed wedding money and candies to the crowd.

All the people along the way looked at the man in a red robe with envy.

"I heard that Liu Xiu, the eighth son of the Liu family, has been smart since he was a child and is a well-known child prodigy."

"This time, passing the imperial examination is expected!"

Some local residents introduced him to foreign merchants, with a proud look on their faces.

"What? Child prodigy?"

"Tell me in detail, how amazing is this eighth son of the Liu family?"

Some merchants from small towns, who only care about making money and don't care about the affairs of the court, became interested after hearing this.

"The eighth son of the Liu family is a natural prodigy. I heard that he could recognize 9,000 words at the age of three and write poems at the age of four..."

Seeing the merchant's interest, the local resident did not keep him in suspense and started to talk about it.

"There is such a genius?!"

After listening, the merchant exclaimed.

"Although the eighth son of the Liu family is excellent, the other sons of the Liu family are not bad either."

"The eldest son is already a fourth-rank official..."

"The second son, the third son..."

"Now that the Liu family has seven Jinshi, it has already risen to prominence. It is just around the corner for him to become famous and join the upper-class family."

The local resident looked proud, and he was even more satisfied when he saw the merchant's exclamation. He had a nephew working in the Liu family.

Officials above the third rank must hold important positions in the court and wear purple official uniforms, so being famous often means high positions and generous salaries.

"I see, I see."

After listening, the merchant was shocked.

Looking at the young man riding a horse and parading through the streets, his eyes were full of envy.

…

After the parade, the team entered the Liu Mansion.

The young man named Liu Xiu, the first thing he did when he returned to the mansion was to pay homage to Liu Si, the most senior ancestor of the Liu family.

After Liu Yu made some arrangements before the Dan, the Liu family gradually prospered and had long moved away from the original Ping'an small county.

Liu Yong got his wish and became an invincible general on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the swords on the battlefield had no eyes, and he died in his forties.

Because of the order of secret protection, even the dead soldiers were not easy to take action in the public eye.

And because of good training and some overt and covert propaganda, Liu Si also became a famous talent throughout the country.

Unfortunately, she eventually met a heartless talent and never married.

After Liu Yong's death, Liu Si took over the power of the Liu Mansion and managed the mansion in an orderly manner, laying the foundation for his later success.

After he was over 60, he gradually gave up his power and usually played with his grandchildren and plants.

As they said back then, both of them realized their wishes.

"I have lived up to the high expectations of our ancestors. This time, I was finally selected by the emperor and ranked first among the top Jinshi!"

In the hall, Liu Xiu swept his clothes, bowed and told his ancestors the good news.

"Good, good, good!"

Liu Si, who was already close to his 80s, with silver hair and wrinkles all over his head, said three good words in a row, and a hint of redness appeared on his face.

Even for the top families, it is not a small matter for someone in the family to pass the imperial examination.

For the Liu family, it is even more worthy of burning incense and bathing, telling the ancestors about the great event that will bring glory to the family in the future generations.

"Another Jinshi has come out of my Liu family. This matter must be told to the ancestors."

"Come here, notify each room and hold a clan sacrifice in three days!"

"By the way, have you prepared the wedding money?"

Hearing the good news, Liu Si's face was flushed. He knocked on his cane and ordered everything, and then asked again.

"My father has prepared it."

Liu Xiu, who was dignified and high-spirited, seemed extremely well-behaved and sensible in front of the elders who had worked hard for most of their lives. He did not move like the disciples of a big family who were not enterprising and arrogant.

"Is that so~"

Hearing that everything had been arranged, Liu Si suddenly felt a little disappointed, and then warned some things that needed to be paid attention to, and let Liu Xiu leave.

"Old friends have passed away one by one, and now only I am left."

After dismissing the servants, Liu Si sat alone in the hall, feeling empty for some reason.

Due to various reasons, the life span of mortals in this world is generally only 40 to 50 years old.

It is common to get married in your teens and become a father at the age of 20.

Liu Yong got married at the age of 15, gave birth to two boys and a girl at the age of 18, and became a grandfather in his 30s.

And because of the elixir, Liu Si has no disease and no disaster, and it is not a problem for him to live to be a hundred years old.

Even though he is close to the age of 80, he is still energetic and has no intention of dying suddenly.

It seems that he can live for many more years.

But sometimes, living too long is also a kind of pain.

When the Liu family became prosperous, his parents, brothers, and old friends passed away one by one, and everything was different.

As time went by, Liu Si was filled with confusion, as if he had lost the meaning of living.

Every day, he could only fiddle with flowers and plants, or recite Buddhist scriptures to survive the long time.

Liu Si didn't know how long this time would last.

In boring time, she would think back to her childhood from time to time, and she would always think of the "big uncle" who appeared mysteriously and disappeared mysteriously.

The smart Liu Si had already noticed some clues.

Since the mysterious big uncle appeared, the Liu family began to encounter adventures one after another and began to take off, basically without encountering major difficulties.

All difficulties will always be magically solved.

"Is it you?"

"Big uncle."

The old voice sounded in the lobby.

Three days later, the front of the Liu Mansion was bustling with people.

All the Liu family members who had some blood ties came from all over to participate in the clan sacrifice held every few years.

Although Liu Yong died young, he was an absolute stud, leaving behind many offspring before he died in battle.

After four or five generations of reproduction, the Liu family is now "flourishing", with thousands of clan members in each branch and vein.

Even if only a few hundred people are qualified to participate in the clan sacrifice, and the others can only watch from where they are, it is not an ordinary lively event.

Outside the ancestral hall, the Liu family members, wearing dark-colored clan clothes, looked serious and straight.

For such an important ceremony, even the most unruly playboys restrained their tempers unconsciously.

Disrespecting ancestors is a serious crime!

Several elders of the highest generation, wearing spotless white clan clothes, stood on the altar with solemn faces and read the sacrificial text.

Finally, the "old ancestor" spoke, made the final summary and encouragement.

At the very end, Liu Si took the hand of the protagonist Liu Xiu and praised and encouraged him in front of all the clan members.

"Not bad."

"But the clever little girl back then has become like this now..."

In the sky, where no one noticed, Liu Yu took in the scene and felt a little complicated.

Then, he gave a few instructions to the dead soldiers beside him and stopped lingering.

Turned into a green light and became a small dot on the horizon.

...

The matter of the Liu family bloodline is ultimately just the cause and effect of the flesh.

Although this connection cannot be severed, Liu Yu has a clear conscience for giving him great wealth and arranging death squads to escort him.

He did not think of showing up again to meet him.

Now he is a Jindan cultivator, and even the ordinary mortals cannot bear the slightest leakage of spiritual pressure.

The huge difference in the nature of life makes it difficult for Liu Yu to identify with mortals, even if there is a blood connection.

Ordinary mortals only live for forty or fifty years, but he has a long life of eight hundred years, even if the secular dynasties are not as long as him.

Well, if Liu Yu is willing to support, it is not impossible to help the Liu family to the position of emperor.

"All visiting cultivators will be rejected. I will be in seclusion for a while."

After returning to the cave, Liu Yu instructed Wen Caiyi.

At present, his cultivation is very close to the peak of the early Jindan period. He wants to take advantage of the last month to see if he can reach it.

"Yes, young master!"

Wen Caiyi accepted the order.

Although she didn't know the information of Chang'an's plan, she was still aware of the atmosphere of her master's upcoming journey, so she was in a daze from time to time.

"Yeah."

Liu Yu nodded gently and turned to enter the practice room.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, he used various resources such as Snow Ginseng Pills and Peiyuan Pills to practice Qi Refining, Body Refining, and Spirit Refining at the same time.

There were also several magic weapons such as the Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Golden Jade Ring, the Flying Star Dart, and the Black Wind Wings, which were often taken out for warming.

"Fairy Wood Romance"

Especially the natal magic weapon, under the cultivation of not sparing the vitality, the power is increasing bit by bit.

The addition of "Golden Crow Powder" during refining makes this fire attribute magic weapon grow much faster than ordinary magic weapons.

In this way, Liu Yu did not see any cultivators and practiced hard for a short time.
