"It was because I dragged you to the spirit stone mine that you suffered this calamity."
Li Qingyu said apologetically.
"It's alright. No experience is ever smooth sailing. I came here with you on my own."
Mu Qingxue indicated that she didn't care.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. If we stay here, some powerful demonic cultivator might suddenly appear."
So the two of them left without lingering and quickly departed from this place of trouble.
Several days later.
"Qingyu, where are we going this time?"
"I've been away for so long, I want to go home and visit."
Li Qingyu pondered.
"May I visit my uncle?"
Mu Qingxue was quite interested in Li Qingyu's family; she wanted to see what kind of family could raise such an outstanding Li Qingyu.
"this..."
Li Qingyu hesitated for a moment.
"If there are any difficulties, I will not visit; I am only interested."
Seeing Li Qingyu's troubled expression, Mu Qingxue spoke up.
"Not really, it's just that our family prefers peace and quiet and doesn't interact much with the outside world. If it's just friends visiting, Father shouldn't refuse, as long as we don't reveal our family's information."
Li Qingyu said.
"Rest assured, I swear on my Dao heart that I will never reveal anything about you to anyone without your family's permission."
"Alright then, I'll take you home to have a look."
Seeing that Mu Qingxue had gone to such lengths, it would be rather heartless to refuse her again. She was quite happy to have finally made a friend with similar interests.
After a long and winding journey, Li Qingyu brought Mu Qingxue home.
"Um?"
Li Daoxuan, who was sipping tea, frowned, but then he realized that one of the two auras belonged to his daughter, and his frown relaxed.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Xueqi asked in confusion, her perception naturally not being as wide as Li Daoxuan's.
"Xiaoyu is back, and it seems she brought a friend with her."
Li Daoxuan laughed.
"This girl still knows how to come back; it's been years."
Lu Xueqi sighed. She had initially thought the other person was just going out to have fun for a few months, but it turned out to be years.
If it weren't for the fact that the soul lamp Li Qingyu left at home was still working, people would have thought she had died outside.
"It's good to go out more often."
Li Daoxuan also realized that he relied on the system for his cultivation, but his daughter was different; her current achievements were all due to her own efforts.
After the crisis at Xingchahai, Li Qingyu worked hard and spent almost the entire day cultivating, a practice he continued for decades afterward.
With the aid of elixirs, his cultivation level gradually surpassed that of Lu Xueqi.
On the other hand, Lu Xueqi hardly cultivates anything except for dual cultivation. She already has a Heavenly Spiritual Root, which is a complete waste of her talent.
He probably had his own reasons for this; ever since he got the auto-cultivation function, he hasn't been meditating or cultivating.
"What's so great about it? What if your daughter brings home your son-in-law instead of a friend?"
Lu Xueqi rolled her eyes at him.
Li Daoxuan's face darkened upon hearing this; such a thing could actually happen.
"Hehehe, feeling sorry for them?"
Lu Xueqi chuckled upon seeing this.
"This time, Xiaoyu didn't bring back a man."
Li Daoxuan sighed, hoping that day would come later.
The two chatted idly.
Li Qingyu had already brought Mu Qingxue to the blessed land.
"Father! Mother!"
"Your mother and I are in the courtyard."
Li Daoxuan's voice came from the courtyard.
"Let's go. My dad and mom are easy to talk to. Don't be too nervous later. Just make yourself at home."
As Li Qingyu spoke, she pulled Mu Qingxue into the courtyard.
Seeing the two old people cuddling together again, drinking tea, I wondered what they were saying.
"Xiaoyu, is this your friend? Aren't you going to introduce him?"
Lu Xueqi gestured for the two of them to sit down.
Li Qingyu pulled Mu Qingxue to sit opposite him.
"This is a friend I met during my training journey. Her name is Mu Qingxue, and she is the Holy Maiden of the Heaven and Earth Sect."
"Uncle and Aunt, this is just a small gift."
Mu Qingxue handed the two of them a gift.
Li Daoxuan was astonished by Mu Qingxue's identity. Good heavens, how did his daughter get involved with the Holy Maiden of the Heaven and Earth Sect?
"You're so kind. Guests are guests, especially Xiaoyu's friends. Just make yourself at home and relax."
Li Daoxuan handed the gift to Lu Xueqi; it was a piece of jewelry, quite exquisitely crafted.
"Dad, this is a gift for you."
Li Qingyu handed the large storage ring to Li Daoxuan with a smile.
"Oh? Xiaoyu also prepared a gift for me. Then Daddy, I'd like to take a good look at it."
Li Daoxuan became interested.
"Hehe, Daddy Bao, are you satisfied?"
Li Qingyu assured him.
Seeing the girl's confidence, Li Daoxuan probed into her with his divine sense to take a look.
The mountain of spiritual stones, though not as much as his own wealth, was still a considerable fortune.
"Where did you get so many spirit stones?"
Li Daoxuan asked in surprise.
"Father hasn't said whether he likes it or not yet."
"Hey, who doesn't like spirit stones? Don't make your father sound so vulgar."
Li Daoxuan said irritably.
Tell me about your experiences abroad over the past few years.
By tracing the source, the origin of this spirit stone became clear.
"Your mother is also quite interested in how you've been doing these past few years."
Lu Xueqi chimed in.
"Okay, then I'll tell you about it."
Li Qingyu then launched into a lengthy discourse.
From the grand scheme of the war to the smallest details, everything is described in detail.
After listening, Li Daoxuan finally understood the origin of these spirit stones.
"A spirit stone mine..."
He seemed to be deep in thought.
Judging from the number Xiaoyu brought back, a spirit stone mine has a considerable output and the quality is also very high.
This is the advantage of having a vast territory and abundant resources.
If you raid a mine, you can earn at least trillions of dollars, and if you find a large mine, you can earn more than tens of trillions of dollars.
Isn't this more profitable than just working hard?!
Li Daoxuan was immediately tempted.
Just when he was worried about where to replenish his spirit stones, the little girl brought him such good news.
As for the danger from the Demonic Sect?
Based on the information provided by his daughter, the cultivator stationed there was only at the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he were to reassign him to the Void Returning and Dao Integration stage, I still wouldn't be able to stop this Mahayana cultivator from plundering.
With the system he possesses, as long as there are spirit stones within the detection range, he can instantly convert them into attribute points.
Mining? It doesn't exist!
"You little rascal, now you know how dangerous it is outside, don't you?"
After hearing about Li Qingyu's experience, Lu Xueqi gave her some advice.
"There are always dangers in training, Mother, don't worry about it."
Li Qingyu pursed her lips.
"I'm just worried about you. If it weren't for your father's talisman protecting you, would you have been able to come back safely?"
Lu Xueqi said.
"Auntie, it's partly my fault. If we had left a little earlier, we wouldn't have run into the Demon Sect's great cultivator."
Mu Qingxue said apologetically.
"How could your aunt blame you? It was Qingyu who instigated you and almost caused your death."
Lu Xueqi comforted her.
"Hmm... I've learned my lesson this time. I'll cultivate diligently in the future so that I can protect myself if I encounter a Void Returning Grandmaster again."
"Once you reach the Void Returning stage, will there be no one with a higher realm than you? Listen to your father more."
Lu Xueqi warned her.
Li Qingyu thought about it and realized that she really needed to keep a low profile like her father.
