Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

When Li Guanqi returned to Jade Teapot Peak with the little girl,

Ye Feng and the others were waiting for him with dark faces, clearly aware of what had happened.

Seeing the pill furnace in Zhong Lin's hands, Li Guanqi, who flew down from his long sword, couldn't help but laugh loudly.

“Hahahaha, you actually managed to get the pill furnace?”

Zhong Lin said with a dark face, “Wasn’t it you who insisted on eating roast duck from a hanging oven?”

Ye Feng even cursed loudly, “I’m so poor these days that I’m broke! These two chickens were stolen by me!”

At this moment, Lin Dong looked at the cyan spirit fish in their hands, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He said with a dry voice, “You two wouldn’t have… stolen the spirit fish from Elder Xu’s pond, would you?”

Yu Suian, holding a spirit fish almost taller than her, said, “What are you looking at? Help me hold it~”

The few of them exchanged glances and immediately burst into laughter.

Next, the few of them began to deal with these things. Seeing Li Guanqi skillfully killing fish and chickens, they were all a little surprised.

Ye Feng exclaimed in amazement, “I can’t tell, Old Li, your movements are quite smooth.”

Li Guanqi smiled slightly and didn't say much. After tidying up, he simply put the beef, mutton, and spirit poultry directly into the pill furnace.

He found some dry firewood and started a fire directly.

When night fell, Li Shengan took out more than a dozen jars of strong liquor from his storage bag.

Li Guanqi smacked his lips and said, “You’ve emptied your family’s coffers, haven’t you?”

Before he could speak, Zhong Lin revealed a smile and said softly, “You probably don’t know, Li Shengan’s hard work is famous in the outer sect.”

“His realm has also improved relatively quickly, and the key is that his personality has changed a lot compared to when he first entered the sect.”

Speaking of this, Li Shengan raised a bowl of wine and said softly, “Speaking of this, I have to thank Guanqi.”

“I used to be cowardly and only knew how to protect myself in everything.”

“But after that time, I realized that face is earned by oneself.”

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement with this statement.

Accompanied by the crackling of firewood, the aroma from the pill furnace spread out, and the oil sizzled as it was roasted by the flames.

The few of them sat around the pill furnace, and Yu Suian squatted on the ground, swallowing her saliva.

Li Guanqi didn't expect the effect of the pill furnace barbecue to be so good. He just thought that he had used a similar cylinder before, so he wanted to try the pill furnace.

Anyway, there were fire holes at the bottom of the pill furnace, which was just right.

The few of them had been busy from day to night and were already so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs.

Clang!

The aroma that had originally condensed in the pill furnace immediately dissipated when the lid was lifted.

Li Guanqi grabbed the seasoning and poured it in, and the freshness of the meat was immediately enhanced.

He took out a portion of the skewered barbecue first, and slowly warmed the rest with a small fire.

The few of them didn't care whether the skewers in their hands were hot or not, and grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths.

Li Guanqi handed a large skewer of beef to Yu Suian and instructed, “Slow down, be careful it’s hot.”

“Hiss~ Hiss~ Hot hot hot.”

“Hiss… Hot! Delicious!”

“Hiss… Ha, hiss…”

The few of them jumped around like monkeys, and Yu Suian was among them.

However, Li Guanqi was also fascinated by the tender taste after taking a bite.

Looking at the pill furnace in front of him, Li Guanqi stroked his chin and muttered to himself, “Should I… specialize in this in the sect cafeteria?”

But in an instant, he gave up the idea.

Not to mention whether he had the time and energy to do it himself, he was afraid that if his master knew about it, he would inevitably be beaten up.

The food was ready, and the few of them began to drink.

The young men rarely drank on weekdays, but now they all pretended to be alcoholics.

They talked about the taste of the spirit wine in a knowledgeable manner, and they didn't care about their red faces.

Li Guanqi drank his wine, looked up at the round moon in the sky, and murmured softly.

“Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since I came to the sect.”

The few people who were still noisy became much quieter, and there was a bit of melancholy in their eyes.

“Yes, a year has passed in the blink of an eye.”

Ye Feng said with emotion, then turned to look at the few people.

“Hey, what do you say about those Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage great cultivators? I heard that a single retreat lasts three to five years.”

“Wouldn’t it be a hundred years or more for a single retreat at a higher realm?”

As he spoke, there was also a bit of disappointment on Ye Feng’s face.

“A hundred years of time… No wonder everyone is desperately cultivating in order to seek longevity.”

Li Guanqi nodded upon hearing this and said softly, “Yes, cultivate longevity, hope for longevity.”

“Immortality, living as long as heaven and earth.”

“Who can resist such temptation?”

“Mortals are already considered to have a long life at a hundred years old, and now we can already live safely and worry-free to two hundred years old.”

“When we reach the Golden Core stage, our lifespan can reach five hundred years!”

Even the always taciturn Lin Dong nodded slightly, with an expression of excitement on his face, and said, “Hundreds of years of lifespan, there are too many things we can do.”

However, Zhong Lin was drinking wine on the side and said softly, “In the long years, perhaps only the presence of companions is the meaning of longevity.”

“Cultivating to become an immortal, climbing to the peak of the Great Dao.”

“But if the people we care about quietly dissipate in the years, then what is the meaning of our longevity?”

“Looking back at our surroundings, there is not even a single person who can recall the past.”

“Then the remaining years, wouldn’t they be one lonely and difficult cage after another?”

Upon hearing this, everyone became much more silent.

Li Guanqi sighed softly, “Yes, we are just small figures who have just entered the immortal path.”

“If it is really as Zhong Lin said, it does feel a bit desolate.”

Ye Feng raised his glass and said in a deep voice, “Therefore, we must work hard to cultivate and catch up with Old Li’s pace.”

“Strive to climb to the peak of the Great Dao together as soon as possible, and then we will recall the time when we drank and ate meat here!”

After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Dong suddenly said.

“What are your dreams?”

Zhong Lin said softly, “My dream is to become the top alchemist in the entire Great Xia Domain!”

Ye Feng curled his lips on the side and said, “Only recently did I find out that you are the young master of the alchemist family, Yuyang Mountain.”

Zhong Lin grinned and joked, looking at Ye Feng’s golden hair, “You are the young master of Qiongtai Mountain Villa, but you didn’t say it either.”

“What is your dream?”

Ye Feng lay on the ground, looking up at the starry sky and waving his hand with high spirits, “I want to become a great swordsman famous throughout the ages! Travel all over the Great Xia Domain, and even go to other domains!”

After Ye Feng finished speaking, he raised his hand and touched Lin Dong next to him and smiled, “Dongzi, what about you?”

The honest boy scratched his head and said, “I don’t have any dreams. Originally, I entered the sect just thinking that my parents at home could live a good life.”

“When I went home to visit relatives some time ago, I found that my wish had come true. I lived in a new house, and my parents didn’t have to suffer from farming anymore.”

“I can even fly in the sky like the immortals in my dreams. I am quite satisfied.”
