I am Song Mingyu, a direct descendant of the Song family in Heting City. In my generation, apart from two cousins from the side branches, I have no other brothers or sisters in my family.
His father was at the Nascent Soul stage, and his two great-grandfathers were at the Spirit Transformation stage. It had been 800 years since the last clan elder ascended to heaven. Although the glory of their ancestors still existed, the family was still eager to cultivate children who could ascend.
Although all the disciples in the clan have the surname Song, they are all people with the same surname from other cities who have come here to seek refuge. Instead of spending a lot of resources to train them, it is better to train brothers from the same family.
The spiritual roots of my two cousins are not good enough. One has two spiritual roots and the other has three spiritual roots. My two cousins and I are all descended from the same great-grandfather. When I entered the Guiyi Sword Sect, my cousin with three spiritual roots had already given up practicing and shouldered the responsibility of reproducing offspring for the family.
I only saw my mother before I was eight years old. My impression of her was that she was sad and irritable, and she was very concerned about cultivation. Every time she came out of retreat, she would look depressed. Once, she even pushed me to the ground in disgust.
"It's all your fault. The golden elixir in my body was broken. I can't fix it no matter what I do. If I had known, I wouldn't have given birth to you."
"Why are you angry with me, kid?" My father helped me up and comforted me, "Your mother is in a bad mood because she's too tired from practicing. Go out and play, and don't show up in front of her anymore."
I don't understand what I did wrong. I was very happy to hear that my mother had come out of seclusion and went to find her, but in return I was treated like this.
I asked my father, "What is the Golden Elixir? Does Yu'er have it? If so, Yu'er is willing to dig it out and give it to mother."
My father touched my head and said, "Silly child, you haven't practiced yet, so you don't have the golden elixir."
"Yu'er is willing to practice now and condense a golden elixir for mother."
"Your spiritual roots are still too young and fragile. You have to wait until you are five years old before you can absorb spiritual energy. The most important thing now is to learn to read."
But I didn't listen. I secretly went to the library to look for a way to practice without my father's knowledge. Fortunately, the servants found me in time, otherwise I would have died with my tendons and veins broken.
My mother just came to see me, and when she saw that I was fine, she went back to seclusion. One day when I was eight years old, she never came out again.
I lost my mother.
It took me several days to accept the fact that my mother had left me. Seeing that I was confused, my father asked me to leave the Song family and go out to learn a skill from a master.
I heard that Venerable Rong Xi of Guiyi Sword Sect was looking for a disciple, a Venerable who was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so my father asked me to go.
Venerable Rong Xi did not care who his disciples would be. He only said that he would accept two disciples and let the sect leader choose one and send it to him.
My father sent a mine to the sect leader and finally got me in, along with Lu Qingchuan.
Lu Qingchuan is a direct descendant of the Lu family. The only elder in the family ascended to heaven not long ago and sent him to the Guiyi Sword Sect.
Rong Xi said that whoever won the competition would become his senior brother. I was two years older than Lu Qingchuan and was full of confidence, but I lost and let him become his senior brother.
I am very dissatisfied with this.
But after that, every time Venerable Rong Xi taught me something, he grasped the key points before me, and I gradually became convinced.
Lu Qingchuan has a cold personality. He either practices swordplay or plays the piano and doesn't like talking to me.
I said ten sentences but he couldn't reply even one. If I annoyed him enough, he would look at me coldly, as if I owed him 18 million spirit stones.
Reverend Rong Xi has three types of spiritual roots: ice, thunder and wood. The sect leader said that his spiritual roots are particularly unique, and with the corresponding exercises, his cultivation speed is very fast. However, decades have passed, and his cultivation level is still at the tribulation period with no progress.
The sect's higher-ups all said that he was suppressing his cultivation, which seemed to be related to an agreement made more than four hundred years ago.
But no matter what, he is still one of the best masters in the entire Eastern Region.
In this lower world where spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce, it took me sixty years to reach the Golden Core stage, but Lu Qingchuan only took thirty years to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and spent the rest of the time studying swordsmanship.
He has been studying for fifty years. I really don't know where he got such great perseverance. He has read through all the sword techniques in the library.
Venerable Rong Xi taught us the Star Sword Technique. I can only learn 20% of it, while he can exert 70% of its power. The other 30% is a matter of spiritual roots and bloodline talent. Lu Qingchuan made changes based on his actual situation. When he reaches the Tribulation Period, his power will not be worse than that of Venerable Rong Xi.
I admire him very much.
I want to have a good relationship with Lu Qingchuan, not only because he is my fellow senior brother, but also because of the influence of the Lu family in the lower world.
The Lu family does not suppress their disciples. As long as they have enough ability, they can get the corresponding resources. They are not stingy in sharing their skills with the Lu family members who come from other places. The whole family is very united. Even though Lu Qingchuan is the only direct descendant, they have never thought of pulling him down and replacing him.
I asked myself, if I were the only one left in the Song family, the people in the clan would definitely not be so kind to me, so I admire Lu Qingchuan very much.
In order to get closer to him, I taught myself to play the dongxiao. After several years of study, I finally became quite good at it. I was very excited to play a duet with Lu Qingchuan on qin and xiao. However, he despised my skills and thought I was not up to the standard, so he was unwilling to play with me.
I was very angry and deliberately wanted to irritate him, so I threw the flute at him.
But he was always indifferent. He forced me down the mountain with a sword and wiped out the aura I left in the Feixue Peak protective formation. I could no longer enter and leave Feixue Peak at will.
I got even angrier.
When someone comes here, the whole mountain is covered with snow, without even a flower. What's the point of going there?
I also opened another peak and deliberately didn't let him in, but he never came even once.
Venerable Rong Xi did not come either.
Although they appear different in appearance, one is lazy and casual, the other is cold and aloof, but in essence they are the same kind of people who never take anything to heart.
I am frustrated.
Maybe I really am a very unlikable person. My mother doesn’t like me, and they don’t like me either.
When he was ninety years old, Elder Xuanji of Qianji Sect suddenly brought words from the Lu family's ancestor who had ascended to heaven to Venerable Rong Xi, asking Venerable Rong Xi to find a woman in the lower realm to give birth to a child for Lu Qingchuan.
Phew, Lu Qingchuan, give birth to a baby?
Is that the iceberg? Can you feel anything for a woman?
I laughed for a long time when I first heard it, and went to Feixue Peak to find him and laugh at him.
Still being forced down the mountain by a sword, I got up from the ground with a smile and returned to Wanmu Peak, but received a message from my father in the family.
"You have reached the Golden Core stage now. Although your cousin already has a son and a daughter, they are not his direct descendants. I have asked Reverend Rong Xi to bring a woman back for you. You can raise her in your cave as a concubine, cultivating while you raise offspring."
I protested, "I'm not a breeding pig. How can I give birth to a child just like that?"
Father: "Do you think your cousin is a breeding pig? The Lu family can accept women from Lufu Palace. You can't go wrong by following him."
I'm depressed. It's fine if I follow the Lu family at home, but why do I have to follow this too?
