The Record of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 68
Xu Yuxiu after returning to Lingxi Valley again.

I always feel that this trip has the illusion that things are right and people are wrong.

Zhang Yuanyuan's change and her departure were her choices.

But Xu Yuxiu could feel that Zhang Yuanyuan seemed to have become more determined, as if she had found the way to go in the future.

It was an indescribable, very subtle feeling.

Desirable yet out of reach.

Xu Yuxiu felt a little confused.

Since practicing cultivation, my illness has been cured, and the hidden dangers of my spiritual roots have also been resolved, so what path should I take in the future?

Gradually, confusion filled her heart more and more.

A picture began to flash in her mind.

From the time I can remember, to worshiping the immortal gate.

In just a few years, she was no longer the sickly mortal girl she used to be.

She has grown into a true outer disciple of Taixuanmen.

Now, relying on her status as a formation mage, she is respected by many disciples in Lingxi Valley.

If it continues like this, she can live in the Taixuan Sect in peace and stability, without going out to take risks, and she can live a nourishing life.

This is what parents expect.

From that day on, Xu Yuxiu began to become confused.

Although she refined many spirit gathering array flags and sold them to more disciples in the Lingxi Valley.

Earn more spirit stones.

But she didn't feel fulfilled, instead she felt a little empty in her heart, as if she had lost something.

"Haha, the share of Linglu that I submitted this month has finally reached the standard, and I don't need to be deducted any more contribution points. It's all thanks to Junior Sister Xu!"

Outside the main hall where the dew was submitted, a disciple finished submitting the dew and walked out happily, chatting with other disciples, his words were full of smiles.

When Xu Yuxiu walked by, they noticed her and hurried forward to say hello.

She also responded with a smile.

"Oh, I shouldn't have ridiculed Junior Sister Xu back then, but now I know she is an array mage. Now I'm afraid I've left a bad impression on her, and I don't have the face to buy an array flag from her."

Some people are downcast and depressed.

When Xu Yuxiu passed by, they quickly shut up and stopped talking.

"Tch, what's the big deal? Isn't it the Array Master? Even without her, I can still collect enough spiritual dew!"

There were also people who disdained it, and purposely said it loudly when Xu Yuxiu passed by.

Xu Yuxiu ignored it.

"You have had a great year. This is your contribution point reward for this year. There are 150 points in total. I hope you will continue to work hard!"

Deacon Qian smiled with satisfaction, distributed the contribution points to Xu Yuxiu, and gave a few words of encouragement.

In the same year, with Linglu's assisted training, her cultivation base also recovered to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and she was also marching towards the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Now, after running the Soul Fusion Art, her cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi refining.

This made her confused heart feel a little more confused.

Another year passed, and her cultivation successfully broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

After running the Soul Fusion Art, her cultivation level has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This brought great fluctuations in her heart.

It was like a calm lake gradually becoming rippled.

On this day, Zhang Yuanyuan came to Lingxi Valley to visit Xu Yuxiu.

I met Zhang Yuanyuan again. At this time, Zhang Yuanyuan had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

After not seeing each other for more than two years, I saw Zhang Yuanyuan again.

Xu Yuxiu saw that Zhang Yuanyuan seemed to be thinner than before, and her beautiful brows were also more tired.

But the firm will in her body did not waver in the slightest.

"Junior Sister Xu, how have you been these past few years?"

The two greeted each other, greeted each other, and talked.

Zhang Yuanyuan told her about her experiences in the past two years.

It was only then that Xu Yuxiu found out that the ancient relic she was exploring as an advance disciple was the one activated by Yu Chengdao and the others.

It was also Xu Yuxiu's former goal.

Now the ownership of the ancient ruins has come to an end.

The ownership is jointly held by the five sects.

Among them, Taixuanmen occupies the majority, and can hold the ownership right for three months every year.

The rest of the time is divided among the four sects.

And the ancient ruins were also given a name, called "Valley of Shadows".

The reason why it is called this name is also because of the large number of ghosts in it.

According to Zhang Yuanyuan, they suffered heavy losses in the Valley of Shadows this time. Many of the advance disciples were caught off guard by a large number of ghosts, and they were devoured by a large number of ghosts, leaving no trace of residue.

If Yu Xuanji hadn't led the team this time, they would have been buried among them as the advance disciples.

Speaking of this, Xu Yuxiu couldn't help but sweat, secretly thinking that the ruins were indeed dangerous, but luckily he didn't go in.

But when she heard that Zhang Yuanyuan might enter it again, she couldn't help but hesitated.

Do you want to give Zhang Yuanyuan the map of the ruins?
Anyway, it's useless to keep the map of the ruins now.

Xu Yuxiu thought this way in her heart, but there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion in her heart that made her unwilling to take out the map.

After hesitating for a long time, she didn't take out the map until Zhang Yuanyuan left.

She laughed at herself internally.

Xu Yuxiu, Xu Yuxiu, why are you so selfish? You obviously don’t plan to go to the ruins, so why are you still holding on to the map?
Xu Yuxiu stood at the entrance of the valley for a long time, the expression in her eyes changed again and again, finally sighed, turned and returned to the valley.

The years are like quicksand between fingers, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the third year after coming to Lingxi Valley, Xu Yuxiu successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

At the same time, she also arrived at the middle section of Lingxi Valley.

Here, with the help of the Spirit Gathering Formation, she has already given birth to a dew flower that can bloom three flowers.

The spiritual dew condensed from the third flower has reached an astonishing quality.

One drop can be diluted into three bottles of ordinary spiritual dew.

However, it takes a full three days to condense a drop of spiritual dew.

Xu Yuxiu was not dissatisfied with this.

Now she has been able to easily collect enough spirit dew. As for the spirit dew condensed from the third flower, she just collected it and didn't use it.

The spiritual dew condensed from the third flower is not something she can take now.

She could feel that spiritual dew of that quality would probably have to wait until she had reached the tenth level of Qi refining before she could use it.

Now at the seventh level of Qi refining, every time she practices, the spirit dew she takes has been replaced by the milky white spirit dew condensed from the second flower.

With the aid of this quality of spiritual dew, her cultivation speed still maintains a fast and stable cultivation speed.

She believed that in a short time, she would be able to successfully break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

However, her progress in cultivation did not dispel her inner confusion.

Vaguely, she seemed to have seen the end of her cultivation.

This made waves surge in her heart.

Is this the end of my cultivation?
A feeling of unwillingness gradually rose in her heart.

This feeling of unwillingness gradually set off a storm in her heart, and it became more and more intense.

"Have you heard that yesterday, senior brother Wang Chuan from the outer sect successfully established his foundation and has been promoted to an inner sect disciple!"

"Really? I remember that Senior Brother Wang Chuan has only five spiritual roots, but he can successfully build a foundation?"

"This matter is absolutely true and cannot be falsified. Although Senior Brother Wang Chuan has five spiritual roots, he is diligent in cultivation and has never slacked off. It is inevitable that he can successfully build the foundation!"

"I remember that when Senior Brother Wang Chuan first started, he was still a handyman disciple. I didn't expect that in just over 20 years, he would successfully build the foundation. Senior Brother Wang Chuan can be a role model for our generation. I will also work hard to practice in the future!"

After submitting the spiritual dew again, Xu Yuxiu heard such words on the way back and was suddenly stunned.

At this moment, a seed seemed to fall in her heart.

That's right, that senior brother Wang Chuan has never slackened his five spirit roots, so what right do I have to slack off in order to live a stable life?

Pictures flashed through her mind, and scenes of her experiences over the past few years appeared before her eyes.

There is the pain when facing the sickness, the joy when worshiping the fairy gate, and the reluctance when parting from parents
All kinds of emotions finally came together and turned into a drop of heart tears, nourishing the seed in my heart.

A mortal's life is full of birth, old age, illness and death, but it only lasts for a hundred years, and there is no way to recover.

I have experienced the suffering of illness, and now I have entered the immortal gate and become a monk, why should I be willing to spend the rest of my life like this?

In that case, how am I different from ordinary people?
It's better to just turn into a pile of loess in the mortal world.

Thinking of this, the light in Xu Yuxiu's eyes gradually brightened.

Invisibly, there seemed to be a cracking sound in her ears.

Those were the invisible shackles that imprisoned her state of mind, and they were crumbling bit by bit.

I am a mortal, wishing to live forever!
When Xu Yuxiu shouted these words in her heart, the shackles that restricted her state of mind suddenly shattered.

At the same time, visions appeared around her.

When the surrounding disciples felt the changes in Xu Yuxiu's body, they all looked at her in unison.
