Chapter 49 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife
Chapter 49 Xiao Xuan's foot has recovered. With Xia Changge's help, she was able to walk normally after only eight days. But for some reason, she didn't tell anyone else about this news. Basically, only Xia Changge knows. Because except for when she's in contact with Xia Changge, she spends all her time in a wheelchair! It's really strange. Even Xia Changge doesn't understand why. "Xuan'er, congratulations. Now you finally have no difference from a normal person." During this time, under Xia Changge's careful care, Xiao Xuan gradually regained the ability to walk steadily. And she also broke through to the fourth level of the Foundation Building Realm on the spot, confirming that there were no lingering hidden dangers. Xia Changge was also very happy. Having helped cure Xiao Xuan, he would surely receive rich rewards, right? "Well, thank you, Xia Shi. I can't repay your kindness. I just hope..." Xiao Xuan's eyes seemed to have given Xia Changge the answer. But Xia Changge pretended not to notice and said, "Go back and tell your mother and sisters this good news, let them be happy too!" However, Xiao Xuan shook her head and said, "Xia Shi, do you know why I haven't leaked a word about my legs being healed?" Naturally, Xia Changge had no idea why. Shouldn't good news be shared with one's family? Xiao Xuan explained, "It's because my mother treats us all equally. She has given an order that whoever lets her hold a great-grandson first will receive the Foundation Building Pill she has saved up. Now, Xiao Lin doesn't like men because of her personality, and although our eldest sister also desires that Foundation Building Pill very much because of my disability and Xiao Lin's personality, she sits on the fence and has plenty of time to consider. But now that I've recovered, the initiative should be in my hands." Xia Changge never expected such hidden motives. So, at least Xiao Yun didn't achieve... partiality? Perhaps there was just a slight bias towards Xiao Xuan, but it couldn't be helped. "With Xiao Yun's cultivation at the late Foundation Building Realm, shouldn't she have more than one Foundation Building Pill?" Xia Changge voiced his doubt. He always thought the Xiao family was quite wealthy, after all, they were squeezing out resources from the people under his command. Xiao Xuan shook her head and said, "Among the Foundation Building families, our Xiao family is the poorest. Our industries are weak, and in addition, my mother has to spend a huge amount of resources cultivating a spirit plant. She doesn't have that much spirit stones, so previously the family was short of funds and pulled out Xiao Lin, who brought in 20,000 spirit stones." Xia Changge was shocked, "Does that mean... Xiao Lin's husband..." He suspected if the Xiao family staged the whole thing and killed that person. Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "No, that guy was just unlucky. He was... assassinated by the Ren family." Only then did Xia Changge breathe a sigh of relief. If it was all staged by the Xiao family, it would truly be terrifying. "If I were to obtain that Foundation Building Pill and my husband reaches the ninth level of the Refinement Realm before me, I will definitely give him that Foundation Building Pill." At this moment, Xiao Xuan said in a highly suggestive tone. Xia Changge's heart started pounding. The Foundation Building Pill? If what Xiao Xuan said was true, obtaining the Foundation Building Pill from her would be the easiest. Xiao Wan had already reached the ninth level of the Refinement Realm and could even break through to the Foundation Building Realm at any time. And Xiao Lin... her talent surpassed Xia Changge's. Xia Changge couldn't compare to either of them. It seemed that Xia Changge only needed to spend a little bit of "effort" to obtain the Foundation Building Pill? This... it was really... envy-inducing. If any casual cultivator knew about this, they would probably queue up dozens of times around Hua Ying Immortal Town. After all, Xiao Xuan was a first-rate beauty. Why not? If he took the opportunity first, would the Xiao family accept him as a son-in-law? Even if they did, he wouldn't be afraid. In about ten years, he would have grown strong and wouldn't fear the Xiao family. Who knew... maybe he could even directly annex the Xiao family?! But this involved his integrity. He had already said that he would never become a son-in-law in this lifetime. Unless it was a peerless beauty who could immediately elevate Xia Changge to an immortal level. "Xia Shi, can you take me home today?" Just when Xia Changge was conflicted, Xiao Xuan changed the topic with a sentence. Her maidservant was naturally not present when they were alone. "Sure." After thinking for a moment, Xia Changge agreed. Becoming more familiar with each other was also possible. This cultivating world was truly cruel yet wonderful. Xia Changge pushed the wheelchair very slowly, as if he wanted to spend more time with her in the outdoors. "Xuan'er, I'm not... not using you. I just want to know what exactly happens when one reaches the ninth level of the Refinement Realm. Is that okay?" Xia Changge was currently at the sixth level of the Refinement Realm, and if he made a little effort and used more resources, it wouldn't be difficult to reach the seventh level of the Refinement Realm. Regardless of whether this matter could be accomplished, he still wanted to gain a bit of benefit. "Of course, refining the body in the ninth level of the Refinement Realm is actually strengthening the various parts of the body. Because in order to break through to the Foundation Building Realm, one needs to compress spiritual energy and condense it into spiritual yuan. This is a huge impact on the body, and an ordinary body can't bear it. Therefore, cultivators need to strengthen all of their organs when refining the body in the ninth level of the Refinement Realm. It can be said that the stronger the physical body, the greater the possibility of breaking through to the Foundation Building Realm. Generally speaking, if a cultivator in the Refinement Realm hasn't completed this step before sixty years old, the possibility of breaking through to the Foundation Building Realm is less than one in a thousand." Although Xiao Xuan said she was just a weakling at the fourth level of the Refinement Realm, she had also studied her mother's cultivation method for the Foundation Building Realm and had some understanding of the ninth level of the Refinement Realm. This sentence made Xia Changge's breathing quicken. Refining the body? It seemed that he had already... completed that step! Now, even if he were missing an arm or a leg, or even if he took out his heart, he wouldn't hiccup. In other words, the obstacle of reaching the ninth level of the Refinement Realm for him was no obstacle at all? "It's just that ordinary people don't know how to go through with this step. Therefore, many cultivators in the eighth level of the Refinement Realm have already reached the level of the ninth level in terms of spiritual energy. But because their foundation is not as good as that of cultivators in the ninth level of the Refinement Realm, their strength is also on a different level. Xia Shi, do you need a cultivation method? I can give you the cultivation method my mother used, don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone else about this." Feeling Xia Changge's urgent breath, Xiao Xuan thought he was simply overjoyed and didn't think too much about it. Instead, she quietly mentioned another piece of big news. Give him the cultivation method? Was this a test on herself? (End of this chapter)
