"It seems that the purity of the original demonic blood awakened by this child is not as high as that of your first child." The old man expressed his conclusion.

"Is their first child really dead?" Qingfeng couldn't help but murmur. Although he was the real mastermind behind what happened in the mine ten years ago, he was only delivering messages to Jiu Laotou and others in Shangqingmen at that time and did not actually participate in the scene, so he did not know what happened to Lian Ji's first child.

Qingfeng used the events in the mines to successfully gain the attention of the head of the Shangqing Sect. The fact that Lian Ji and Lu Shengyang's child possessed atavistic blood was a surprising bonus. Prior to this, in order to advance further, he had been searching for information on the Flame-Eating Sword. He naturally knew that the Flame-Eating Sword required powerful demon blood to mate with, and that the only such blood in the entire cultivation world was a half-demon. Fortunately, that child brought hope.

Qingfeng had waited for this moment for a long time. While looking for the whereabouts of the Flame-eating Sword, he used his power to get Lian Ji and Lu Shengyang back together. Finally, ten years later, he found the whereabouts of the Flame-eating Sword, and the bloodline that awakened the Flame-eating Sword grew to eight years old.

But Qingfeng never thought that the Flame-Eating Sword was awakened, but did not recognize the child as its master. So, how should he make a contract with the Flame-Eating Sword? He couldn't ask him to tame the Flame-Eating Sword. If he really had the ability to do so, he would not do these petty thefts.

So Qingfeng couldn't help but place his hopes on Lianji's first child.

"Report to the elder, that kid was stabbed in the chest by the demonic energy that had turned into a spirit. In order to solve the problem, we threw the child into the territory of Yanjian Sect and left. You also know how much the sword cultivators in Yanjian Sect hate the demon clan. The kid should have been dealt with after he was discovered." The old man with wine replied.

"Oh, what a pity." Qingfeng sighed.

"Elder, what should we do next?" asked the old man.

"It seems that my fate with the Flame-Eating Sword has not yet come." Qingfeng coughed again, and after a long while he continued, "Lu Shengyang, Lian Ji, I will give you a year to give birth to another child. Can you do it?"

"Immortal, what about our immortal path as husband and wife?" Lu Shengyang asked hurriedly.

"After we return, Elder Jiu will lead you in training. If the child you give birth to can help me obtain the Flame-Eating Sword..." Qingfeng paused for a moment before continuing, "I can accept you two as my personal disciples. I guarantee that you will both live forever and enjoy all the wealth and glory in the world."

"Really!" Lu Shengyang said excitedly, "Thank you, Taoist Qingfeng!"

"Immortal, what about my son Lianqi?" Lian Ji was not as excited as Lu Shengyang, but asked carefully about Lu Lianqi's whereabouts.

"Lian Ji, the Flame-Eating Sword has been buried for over five hundred years and needs some demonic blood to replenish it." The old man answered in a serious tone, "Lu Lianqi's blood is just enough."

"No, we can't do this." Lian Ji became agitated again. She begged, "Qingfeng Immortal, since we can't contract the Immortal Sword for a period of time, please let him come back. We can still have children. Please, please."

However, Qingfeng did not speak. Obviously, it was his request to let Lu Lianqi sacrifice the sword.

Lian Ji pleaded and fretted for a while, but seeing Qing Feng remained unmoved, she finally screamed, "The child isn't dead!"

"What?" Qingfeng finally spoke. He asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"

"My first child, Lu Wuxiu, he..." Lian Ji choked up and continued, "He's still alive."

"How do you know? Do you know where he is now?" Qingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up. It would be the best thing if he could get the Flame-Eating Sword before the head of the sect decides on the next head.

"I don't know if other half-demon mothers are like this, but I can always subtly sense whether my child is still alive." Lian Ji looked around at the expressions of the crowd. Seeing that everyone's faces were filled with either disbelief or distrust, she closed her eyes and continued, "I can feel that Lian Qi's life force is weakening. As for Lu Wuxiu, he has experienced this countless times in the past ten years, but he has always managed to pull through and is still alive."

Seeing Qingfeng still hesitant, Lian Ji continued to plead, "Immortal Qingfeng, please, I can hardly sense the life force of Lianqi's child. Please go and save him. You can go find Lu Wuxiu. He will definitely be able to help you."

——

Hearing this, Yan Baibai felt like she was about to explode with anger. She wished she could rush out of Lu Wuxiu's body and kill Lian Ji.

Yan Baibai soon felt that something was wrong. She seemed to be able to move and jumped out of Lu Wuxiu's chest.

She quickly realized that something was wrong, after all, she was now attached to that ball of evil spirit.

Yan Baibai thought to herself that something was wrong. Lu Wuxiu must be sick. He must be angry just like her!

"who!"

An angry shout was heard, Lu Wuxiu... was finally discovered!
