Chapter 445

Xu Jingyi heard Shi Xuan's relaxed tone and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Master Shi, for the gift. Why don't we go to Phoenix House for some food and wine? Brother Tianqi is also there, he hasn't seen you for a long time. "

Shi Xuan handed Xu Haojie and Xu Haoyu to Xu Jingyi, then walked slowly towards Phoenix House, "That's good too. How has Brother Tianqi been? I heard he's the Drizzle House's Deputy House Master now. By the way, why do you call me Master Shi? I remember we agreed to accept disciples on behalf of Master. "

Xu Jingyi also carried one person in each hand and said, "Brother Tianqi has been very awe-inspiring these years. Building Master Zhu is already in a semi-retired state, so he can be considered as the real leader of Drizzle Building. Of course, he is mainly relying on our Xu family's power to expand these years. This is all thanks to Master Shi's guidance. If it wasn't for you, how could Jinyi achieve what she has today? Without Jinyi's achievements, how could the Xu family have today's power? "As she spoke, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and she looked a little tired.

After a pause, she continued, "The reason why I call you Master Shi is because Jinyi feels that calling me Senior Brother can't express my gratitude and Master Shi's teachings. Although I'm accepting disciples on behalf of Master, I'm still half a teacher."

Shi Xuan nodded, acknowledging this form of address, then smiled, "There's no harm in calling me that, but you don't have to be so formal. I still remember how lively and interesting you were back then."

Xu Jingyi blushed, "I was still young back then, and now I'm over 30. How can I be like before? Besides, it's been almost 20 years since we last met. Master Shi's cultivation seems to have improved greatly, so I'm a little formal. " Others might not know, but Xu Jingyi knew how shocking it was to walk on the river without using any spells. She didn't expect that after 20 years, the gap between her and Master Shi's cultivation had become even bigger.

"Oh, I feel like an ordinary person." Shi Xuan knew how Xu Jingyi saw his cultivation had improved, but there was still some distance to go before they reached Phoenix House, so he asked.

Xu Jingyi said admiringly, "Jinyi knows how difficult it is to walk on the river with only one's strength. Besides, I've often heard that the more powerful a person is, the more they return to their natural state. Shi Shi, you look like an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts, so you should be more powerful than before. "As they conversed, Xu Jingyi slowly cast aside her reservations. This can be seen from the difference between you and him.

"When you reach Qi Drawing Stage, you'll understand the magic of qi. However, I'm not like this because of my cultivation. There's another reason. It's a long story, but I'll tell you later. In any case, you have to remember that when you reach the Qi Gatherer Stage, your body will have the pressure of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. "After all, he had taught Xu Jinyi for a period of time, so it was difficult for Shi Xuan to escape the tone of a teacher.

Xu Jingyi opened her mouth slightly. She was surprised, excited, and happy at the same time. "So, Shi Master, you have broken through the void?" Although she had inherited the True Returning Scripture, her whole family was made up of Jianghu people. When it came to realms, they were most familiar with the division of Wulin.

Although she had inherited the Scripture of Returning Nature, her whole family was from Jianghu, so she was most familiar with the division of Wulin. Shi Xuan sighed, "Yes, but this is just the beginning.

Xu Jingyi didn't have much of a direct reaction to all of this. She only stared at Shi Xuan with admiration and respect in her eyes. Following behind Shi Shi, she felt as if she had returned to the days when she was young and carefree. She didn't have to worry about the trifling matters of the clan, and her footsteps were much lighter.

She just looked at Shi Xuan with admiration and admiration. Following behind Shi Xuan, she felt as if she had returned to her childhood. She was so carefree and did not have to worry about the trivial matters of the family.

The people on the riverbank looked at Shi Xuan, whose Taoist robe was fluttering, and Xu Jinyi, whose red dress was fluttering, as they walked across the river side by side and disappeared into the distance. Only then did they let out a long sigh of disappointment. Today's events, today's scene, today's man and woman, these two immortals, would probably never be erased from their memories.

When the people in the Phoenix Tower saw Shi Shuan and Xu Jingyi walking side by side with smiles on their faces, they all stood up involuntarily and stood on both sides of the corridor. They lowered their heads slightly and respectfully sent the two up the stairs. After that, they looked at the back of the two with envy, worship, and awe, hating that they did not have the opportunity to cultivate the Immortal Dao.

The high-ranking officials and masters of Wulin were the same. They stood respectfully on both sides, and only returned to their seats after Shi Xuan and Xu Jingyi took their seats. Chatter and laughter sounded again, but no one dared to talk about the two Immortals. They could only talk about trivial things and occasionally steal glances at them.

At Shi Xuan and Xu Jinyi's table, other than Drizzle Building's Zhu Lou, Yang Zhou's Provincial Governor Xiong Gang, and Tranquil Country Duke Wang Tie, everyone else was from the Xu clan. Shi Xuan was more familiar with Xu Tianqi and another white-haired old man. That year in Xia 'an prefecture, the one who presided over Old Taoist Xu's funeral was him, the Xu clan's Patriarch, Xu Yueze.

"Master Xu, long time no see. You are still vigorous despite your age." No matter what, he had presided over Xu Lao Dao's funeral. To Shi Xuan, he was an elder, so Shi Xuan took the initiative to greet him.

Xu Yueze was flattered and raised his cup. "Immortal Shi, you are too polite. You look no different from back then." Shi Xuan's cultivation progress was not bad, so even without taking the Youth Retaining Pill, he still looked like he was in his twenties.

Master Zhu of Drizzle House, Xiong Gang of Yangzhou, and An Country Duke of An Country looked at each other. They were all secretly shocked. How many secrets did the Xu family hide? There was an Immortal in their house since more than twenty years ago. To be able to endure for so many years, their ambition was not small. It was a wise decision for them to choose to cooperate.

"Shi, Shi Shi." Xu Tianqi originally wanted to call Shi Xuan Senior Brother, but he had not reached the Nuance State after so many years. The gap between him and Shi Xuan was too big. After a long time, he followed Xu Jingyi and called Shi Shi Shi. "We haven't seen each other for almost twenty years. The scenes of learning together are still vivid in my mind."

"Brother Tianqi, there is no need to be so polite. We grew up together. Just call me by my name. " Shi Xuan had the confidence to be approachable, but Xu Tianqi did not have the strength to accept it. He just smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Oh yes, this is my wife, Liu Shi. Come, quickly give Shi Shi a toast."

The whole banquet ended with everyone peeking at Shi Xuan and Xu Jingyi with awe and curiosity from time to time. But the two of them talked and laughed indifferently. To Shi Xuan, other people's gazes and words were like a spring breeze.

* * *

In the Xu family's mansion, in Xu Jingyi's training room, Shi Xuan sat upright on a praying mat. He answered Xu Jingyi's questions about cultivation over the years and corrected some of her mistakes. Then he said to Xu Jingyi, "I have something to ask you." After the banquet, under the respectful sending off of Landlord Zhu, Provincial Governor Xiong, and the An Duke, Shi Xuan and the members of the Xu Clan returned to the Xu Clan Mansion. After that, Xu Jinyi brought Shi Xuan to the quiet room where she trained. For the next few days, Shi Xuan would be staying here. Because if they arranged another guest room, they were afraid that the noise would disturb Shi Xuan out of curiosity and reverence.

Xu Jingyi's questions for many years were finally answered. She was extremely happy. She immediately replied, "Shi Shi, please ask. As long as Jingyi knows, I will answer."

Shi Xuan did not ask directly. Instead, he said, "Jingyi, didn't you ask me where I have been all these years? I went to the overseas Immortal Cultivation World."

Xu Jingyi opened her eyes wide with a hint of excitement, "Immortal Cultivation World?"

"Yes." Shi Xuan nodded. Then he briefly introduced the three islands, the Flame Islands, the North Sea, the Starfall Sea, the countries overseas, the Southern Barbarian Continent, the West Wilderness, the North Pole, and the major sects. He also pointed out the reason for the lack of spiritual energy and resources in the Central Plains. Finally, he asked solemnly, "Are you willing to go to the Immortal Cultivation World to continue your cultivation?"

Xu Jingyi's face showed a complex expression of yearning and hesitation. Just now, Shi Xuan's description of the beautiful sea, the Flame Islands that always erupted, the sects that were like immortal palaces, and all kinds of strange monsters were so wonderful. But when she thought of her parents' love and the warmth of home, Xu Jingyi was a little hesitant. After a long time, she said, "Jingyi is not alone. Can I bring my family there?"

"Yes, I can also apply to the sect to give you an island with good resources so that your family can inherit Master Xu's teachings." Shi Xuan nodded without hesitation.

Xu Jingyi bit her lips and said hesitantly, "In that case, it will be related to the whole family. Jingyi will have to ask for everyone's opinion."

Shi Xuan sighed softly, "That's right."

Xu Jingyi bowed and left. She went to the central hall to gather the core clansmen for a discussion.

After a long time, Xu Jingyi came back and said to Shi Xuan with a pale face, "There are some differences in the clansmen, and I don't know much about it. Please explain it to them, Master Shi."

Shi Xuan nodded, got up, and followed Xu Jingyi to the central hall. In fact, Shi Xuan had clearly sensed their argument with his spiritual sense.

At first, when Xu Jingyi announced that Shi Xuan could bring all of them to the overseas Immortal Cultivation World, everyone was very excited. But when they calmed down, most of them objected. The reason was that the overseas Immortal Cultivation World was extremely dangerous and not as stable as the Central Region. In fact, the real reason was that they didn't have the state of mind to cultivate. Once they entered the Immortal Cultivation World, they would only be at the bottom of the Immortal Cultivation World. They couldn't enjoy the freedom and freedom they had in the secular world.

As for the small group of people who agreed, they themselves or their close relatives had stepped into the threshold of the Immortal Dao under the guidance of Xu Jinyi. It was an extremely wonderful thing for them to be able to go to the Immortal Cultivation World that had more Spirit Qi, more resources, and better cultivation techniques. There were even a few youths who began to look forward to flying in the sky and burrowing into the ground, slaying demons and devils in the future.

Although there were many people who objected, the core of the clan was in the hands of a small group of people who had entered the Immortal Cultivation World. So for a while, they were in a deadlock until someone asked a question, "How is the strength of the overseas Immortal Cultivation World? For the cultivators of our clan, what level will they be at if they go there? Will it be dangerous? "

This question made the small group of people hesitate. If they went to the Immortal Cultivation World, they would be at the bottom and would have to work hard for others. It was better not to go. So they unanimously asked Xu Jingyi to ask Shi Xuan to explain it.
