Su Ru hurriedly roused Tian Buyi from his seclusion room.
"Stop your seclusion and come see your good disciple."
"What happened? Who caused trouble?"
Tian Buyi put on a stern face, his expression full of authority.
Despite his fear of his wife, he is quite powerful, reaching the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, a solid mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, making him a top-tier expert in the cultivation world.
"It's not trouble! It's great news!" Su Ru explained, "Murong Fu has reached the Golden Core stage!"
"Golden Core stage? Could it be that some traitor from the Demonic Sect has infiltrated here?!"
Tian Buyi stared at Murong Fu in shock, scrutinizing him with the pressure of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
What are you doing?
Su Ru immediately released her aura to counteract Tian Buyi's imposing presence, and explained, "I've already inquired. Murong Fu once encountered a battle between a fire qilin and an ice phoenix, and by chance, he consumed their blood, which allowed him to undergo a complete transformation..."
"I see!"
Tian Buyi's eyes lit up as he looked at Murong Fu.
At such a young age, he has already reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm. It's practically a certainty that he will break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, and he may even reach the Deity Transformation stage. What's more, he might become the first ascendant to immortality in ten thousand years, following in the footsteps of Ancestor Qingye...
Tian Buyi was lost in thought, his face beaming with smiles.
"Tian Buyi!"
Su Ru called out, waking Tian Buyi.
Tian Buyi snapped out of his daze and asked, "Ah? Madam, what's wrong?"
"What do you mean?" Su Ru said coldly, "If Murong Fu's genius is exposed, he might incur the wrath of the heavens!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi fell into deep thought. The so-called "jealousy of heaven" did not refer to heaven being jealous of talented people, but rather to other cultivators plotting against them.
Not only would the evil cultists make a move, but the righteous path would also have its share of hypocritical scoundrels.
Seeing others break through their cultivation level is more painful than suffering a qi deviation yourself!
Tian Ling'er panicked even more, shaking Su Ru's arm: "Mother~!"
"Don't shake me, Mommy is trying to think of a solution!"
Su Ru was both amused and exasperated, and said...
Murong Fu's expression remained calm: "When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it."
“My disciple, you don’t understand. Those people don’t care about martial ethics. They might even attack directly at the Nascent Soul stage.”
Tian Buyi looked nostalgic and sighed:
"Back then, I had a senior brother named Wan Jianyi. He was at the peak of the Golden Core stage at a young age. However, during a training exercise, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Demonic Sect broke the agreement and attacked him, causing him serious injury."
"Because of this incident, a great war broke out between the righteous and demonic paths. Countless people died in that battle, including several Nascent Soul cultivators."
At this point, Tian Buyi sighed.
Su Ru stroked her fair chin, her expression conflicted, as if she was considering something.
Finally, she made up her mind, took out a pink brocade handkerchief from her bosom, and said, "Fu'er, this is called the Cloud and Mist Brocade Handkerchief. It is an ancient treasure that can conceal one's aura, resist attacks, and has endless uses."
Tian Buyi's eyes widened in surprise. He quickly said, "This isn't your belly... uh, this is a token of love I gave you back then. How could you... give it away so easily?"
Murong Fu was also surprised. His mother-in-law gave his son-in-law a bellyband? What was going on?
Su Ru's face darkened, and she retorted in a deep voice, "So you want to see your son-in-law persecuted to death by thieves? Think about how arrogant and talented Senior Brother Wan Jianyi was back then!"
"..."
Tian Buyi remained silent.
Although I really wanted to refute it, I couldn't.
Tian Ling'er quickly took the pink handkerchief and stuffed it into Murong Fu's arms: "Husband, my mother gave it to you, so please accept it!"
"Your son-in-law thanks you, Mother-in-law!" Murong Fu, holding a brocade handkerchief, bowed gracefully to Su Ru.
Then he said to Tian Buyi, "I will certainly not let my father-in-law down!"
Tian Buyi took a deep breath and could only accept reality. Although this item was Su Ru's personal possession, it was indeed an excellent protective treasure, just right for his little apprentice.
"Use the ancient treasure to conceal your aura and temporarily reveal your Qi Refining Level 1 cultivation. You should progress gradually in the future so as not to attract attention," Tian Buyi instructed.
Upon hearing this, Murong Fu channeled his magic into the handkerchief and immediately understood.
After a moment, his cultivation aura was concealed, revealing only the first level of Qi Refining.
Tian Buyi and Su Ru carefully sensed Murong Fu's cultivation level, but they couldn't discern it at all using their magical powers alone.
"That's enough for now. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate."
Tian Buyi waved his hand and turned back to his secluded chamber.
Su Ru glanced at Murong Fu and saw him carefully twisting a brocade handkerchief. She couldn't help but feel a little strange and said, "I'm going into seclusion too. You all should cultivate well... Be careful not to delay your cultivation."
Seeing that both elders had left.
Tian Ling'er, with her shifty eyes, chuckled and said, "Husband, do you know this thing is no ordinary object!"
"It's really not simple."
Murong Fu held the rose to his nose and smelled it carefully, then said frankly, "It feels delicate and smells fragrant. If I'm not mistaken, this should be your mother's undergarment."
Tian Ling'er blushed and glanced sideways, saying, "You forgot? My mother loves to peep, she might be eavesdropping on you."
In the corner, Su Ru hid herself and listened to the conversation, feeling a wave of embarrassment.
But then Murong Fu said, "Senior Sister Ling'er, you are too narrow-minded. Since Mother-in-law has bestowed this treasure upon me, she hopes that I will make good use of it and not let her good intentions go to waste."
"Yes, I was narrow-minded."
Tian Ling'er suppressed a laugh. Although it made a lot of sense, something still felt off.
