Starstones are the common currency of Xuanxing, divided into nine grades. There is a tenfold value difference between two grades. For example, a grade two stone is equivalent to ten grade one stones, and a grade six stone is not particularly rare.
However, in a small town on the outskirts of Xuanyu City, the rent for the two of them is only one first-grade star stone a month, which would probably last them several lifetimes.
"Ta-da! Ye Ling, look what this is!" Ye Hao boasted to Lu Ye Ling as soon as he got home.
"Where did you get this? You didn't steal it, did you?" Lu Yeling asked, somewhat surprised.
"You're the one who stole it," he then recounted the events of the day to Lu Yeling.
"Oh~, does that mean I won't have to wash dishes anymore? Yay!" Lu Yeling seemed very happy. After more than a month of washing dishes, she felt like her hands were almost worn out.
Gradually, Lu Yeling and Ye Hao adapted to life here. The people in the town were very kind, simple and hardworking, and there were no local bullies causing trouble for no reason.
Freed from the pressures of life, the couple gradually turned to spiritual practice.
Cultivators on the Tianling Continent have seven major realms: Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcending, and Demigod. On Xuanxing, there are seven major realms: True Qi, True Spirit, True Essence, Earth Essence, Heaven Essence, Profound Essence, and Divine Essence. In terms of strength comparison, it is roughly one-on-one.
Before losing their cultivation, Ye Hao and Lu Yeling were both at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, corresponding to the Profound Origin Realm of Xuanxing. Although they were not the most outstanding, they were definitely powerful figures.
For the first three years, they were very happy. They would play with Xiao Suixin during the day, then practice for six hours at night, and then sleep peacefully together. They were living a wonderful life.
Both of them possessed exceptional talent, being born as prodigies. After being tempered by the Boundary Fire, their talent reached an even higher level, and their cultivation speed increased dramatically.
In just three years, their cultivation reached the True Essence Realm without them feeling any barriers. If others saw that they had cultivated three realms in three years, they would be absolutely astonished. But Ye Hao still thought it was too slow.
During this time, they also thought about visiting Ye Tianzheng, but after asking many people, none of them knew where Tianming Valley was, so they had to give up and wait until they became stronger to look for it.
In the past three years, Xiao Suixin has grown up quite a bit. Her hair is jet black and shiny, her skin is fair and smooth like cream, and she has a delicate face with a pair of bright eyes that are like two twinkling stars.
His father often sighed when he saw this.
"Kid, you're half as handsome as I was when I was a kid. You'll definitely grow up to be a heartthrob, and you'll probably snag a few wives. That would be amazing!"
Lu Yeling was speechless when she heard this. Her son's cuteness was obviously inherited from her, and it was certainly feasible to fool a few daughters-in-law.
Xiao Suixin is great in every way, except that she has too much energy every day, running around everywhere. If her parents weren't spiritual practitioners, they would really be exhausted.
By the fourth or fifth year, the couple's nightmare slowly began.
Little Suixin has grown to about 1.2 meters tall, her face is still cute, and she looks harmless.
After breakfast, I went out to find Zhang Tie, a six-year-old boy from next door, to play together.
"Brother Tie, let's go to that pit, there are people there."
"walk"
"Three, two, one, run!"
A loud bang rang out.
"Ah, the Ye family and Zhang family brats, it's you again! I'll tell your parents!" Old Wang, covered in the stench from the explosion, roared.
"Haha, Brother Tie, how are the firecrackers I just made? Aren't they powerful?" Sui Xin happily showed off his newly made firecrackers to Zhang Tie.
Then he solemnly taught Zhang Tie how to make firecrackers that were more powerful.
Suddenly, Zhang Tie looked behind Ye Suixin and winked at her.
"What's wrong, Brother Tie? Did you get sand in your eyes?" Ye Suixin asked, puzzled.
"Ouch, Mom, be gentle, be gentle, my ear is about to fall off!" Just as he was about to turn around to look, Lu Yeling grabbed his ear.
"Ye Suixin, do you even know pain? You're naughty every day and never learn," Lu Yeling said, somewhat exasperated. Her son was just too fond of playing around. He was always blowing up the outhouse, pulling up vegetables, or shooting at passersby with a slingshot.
Then, Zhang Tie's mother arrived and rolled her eyes at Lu Yeling. Her son used to be very well-behaved, but he became increasingly mischievous after Ye Suixin started hanging out with him.
Lu Yeling could only give an awkward smile and drag Ye Suixin back home.
“Sigh, my son is just too naughty. This can’t go on. How about we find him a private tutor?” Lu Yeling asked Ye Hao, who was sitting next to her.
"You forgot about that guy from last month? He ran away after only a few days of teaching," Ye Hao said helplessly.
"What should we do then?"
"Should we lock him up?"
"That won't do."
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Hmph, it's all your fault for neglecting to discipline our son."
"How is this my fault? You don't care at all!"
"It's all your fault, give me back my lovely son!"
...
...
In the fourth and fifth years, Ye Hao and his wife sensed the opportunity to break through to the Earthly Realm. They spent most of their time cultivating, so they naturally disciplined Xiao Suixin less, and Suixin's true nature gradually emerged.
"Why don't we send Xiao Suixin to the Xuanyu Sect? She won't be able to cause any trouble there," Ye Hao suddenly said.
“No, he’s still so young, how can he leave us?” Lu Yeling resolutely refused.
"Let me finish speaking first. We'll send Suixin to the Xuanyu Sect, and then we can apply for a job or something. That way, we can stay by Suixin's side. With our cultivation at the half-step Earth Origin Realm, there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Ye Hao carefully explained to his wife.
The Xuanyu Sect was founded by cultivators from all over the world, so as long as they meet the requirements, they will accept any applicant.
"That's possible, or perhaps we should wait until we officially enter the Earthly Realm before going."
"Alright"
