Chapter 64 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife

Chapter 64: Dragon Son and Phoenix Daughter "Since Miss Tai Xi wants to know, then I'll tell you the truth. Your brother approached me mainly because of my disciple. He found my disciple beautiful and capable of refining pills, and he planned to keep her as a concubine. I stopped him, that's it," Xia Changge spoke the truth. After hearing this, a sneer grew on Tai Xi's face. "As the saying goes, a leopard can't change its spots." This made Xia Changge feel embarrassed. It seemed that this older sister was unhappy with her own brother, possibly because their family valued boys over girls. Well, if Xia Changge had a son like Tai Feng, he would have slapped him to death and pretended he was never born. "I suspect that you are collecting children with spiritual roots," Tai Xi said angrily, staring at Xia Changge as if trying to read his soul. Xia Changge chose to wait quietly for her next words. If she didn't say anything more, he would simply leave. Fortunately, Tai Xi continued. Xia Changge nodded slightly. "Do you really intend to cultivate them, or do you have other intentions?" Tai Xi scrutinized Xia Changge as if interrogating his soul. Xia Changge replied calmly, "Naturally, I truly intend to cultivate them for my own use. After all, my family is in its early stages of establishment and needs a lot of help." Tai Xi turned and left with a parting shot. "I hope you will do what you say." Xia Changge paid no attention to her. After all, he could fulfill the promise he made to Tai Feng before he died and support his relatives. But it was clear that now Xia Changge might actually need help from others. Xiao Wan had already anticipated Xia Changge's return and was waiting for him at home. "I just found out that our family unexpectedly has the Tianyuan Technique. Where did you get it? Did you kill Tai Feng?" Xiao Wan's expression was serious. "Yes, I did kill him," Xia Changge replied honestly to Xiao Wan's questioning. Even with Xia Changge being so frank, Xiao Wan still seemed skeptical. "How did you kill him?" Xia Changge continued, "When I encountered him the second time, Tai Feng no longer had guards at the Ninth Level of the Qi Refining Stage, and he himself was seriously injured. He begged me for help, but considering the threat he posed to me, I didn't think he would stop pursuing me, so I directly crushed his skull. This guy threatened me, and I was worried he wouldn't give up." "Is that all?" Xia Changge nodded repeatedly. "So, Miss thinks I killed Tai Feng and his servants?" With a sigh, Xiao Wan said, "I did suspect you were a demonic cultivator because you previously drank a large amount of beast blood, claiming it was for your cultivation." Xia Changge was aware of the flaw in his explanation. "Indeed, I do need a large amount of blood to cultivate, but it's only for my physical fitness. Miss, do I look like a demonic cultivator to you? Besides, I practice the Extreme Flame Art from your family." Xia Changge showed no trace of being a demonic cultivator, which definitely troubled Xiao Wan. She had a hard time understanding. After all, her own mother was an expert at the Foundation Establishment Stage. How could she have been mistaken? "Miss, in my opinion, the Tai family is actually a gathering place for demonic cultivators," Xia Changge said, shifting attention at the right moment. He was certain that the Tai family was secretly involved in the forbidden act of alchemy, which would be considered heretical in the current cultivation world. "You are just speculating without any evidence. Moreover, the Tai family is not our enemy at the moment. It's meaningless to report them, but it might be useful to keep it as a trump card in case we have a conflict in the future," Xiao Wan replied, shaking her head without delving any further into the matter. Xia Changge agreed. For now, the Tai family was still safe as far as he was concerned. Not revealing anything was the best option. During this period, Xia Changge stayed in his courtyard and barely went out, to avoid attracting attention. With the information about the device used by Tai Feng's parents, they shifted their focus and left Huaying Immortal Town. Xia Changge became safe, and his industries could start operating. This had happened almost two months ago. Xia Changge couldn't help but feel amazed at how strong Tai Feng's parents' feelings were for him. During these two months, his son Xia Moxing had finally reached the first level of Qi Refining Stage, thanks to the investment of spirit stones. Xia Changge estimated that when his son got a bit older, joining a sect would be no problem. The requirement to join the Lietian Sword Sect, which Xia Changge had wanted to join, was at least the third level of Qi Refining Stage before the age of eighteen. With that requirement met, any kind of spiritual root was acceptable. If they sent him to the sect at the age of eight or nine, the requirements would be different. Unfortunately, Xia Changge himself couldn't meet such a simple requirement. He reached the first level of the Qi Refining Stage when he was nineteen, quite late for starting cultivation. Xia Yijiao had also reached the third level of Qi Refining Stage, and the effect of the spirit powder was most impressive during her first use. This made An Ruoshui envy her. Why was her master's eldest daughter so talented and extraordinary? An Ruoshui, on the other hand, was still at the first level of Qi Refining Stage, and she didn't know how long it would take her to break through to the second level. Comparison was truly the thief of joy. But as Xia Yijiao made a breakthrough, Xia Changge knew that his master would sternly demand that he not reveal this matter, even on the day of Xia Yijiao's breakthrough. An Ruoshui seemed to understand something. The celebration hosted by Xia Changge was only for his son Xia Moxing; his daughter was not included. When Xia Yijiao reached the first level of Qi Refining Stage, Xia Changge had already held a celebration for her. As for the third level... take it easy for now. Even if it was a celebration for Xia Moxing, Xia Changge didn't make a big fuss. Only his small family, plus a few dozen servants, gathered for a banquet at their residence. Xia Changge also made sure his son showed the difference between a Qi Refining Stage cultivator and others in front of the newly recruited children. Simple spells, sword control—it all made the children look at him with envy. With this experience, they should have greater motivation to cultivate as immortal cultivators, right? "Children, rest assured. When you reach the first level of Qi Refining Stage in your cultivation, I will hold a celebratory banquet for you and reward you with a flying sword," Xia Changge said happily. After all, with the assistance of spiritual treasures, his son had truly entered the first level of Qi Refining Stage. Based on this momentum, his son had a good chance of reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage before adulthood. Even if he didn't reach that level, he would definitely stabilize at the third level of Qi Refining Stage. Whether his son chose to stay by his side or venture out on his own in the future, at least he had a solid foundation. Of course, Xia Changge certainly hoped that his loved ones would stay close to him and not venture too far away, but in the end, it would be up to the children themselves. In any case, Xia Changge as a father had done everything he could. He had a house and even several potential daughters-in-law he had arranged for his son since they were young. "It seems like Yijiao is a little sulking. It seems she's not happy because you didn't celebrate for her," Zhang Miaoyi whispered to Xia Changge at the celebration. (End of Chapter 64)
