Even at this point in life, Lu's mother was still extremely reluctant to let go. She also wanted to live longer and watch Lu Mingzhen ascend to heaven.
However, that's probably impossible. Over tens of thousands of years, very few people have truly attained enlightenment, and Lu Ming has never been the most special one.
"Mother, please don't say that." Lu Qingsi took out the pills she had saved and fed one to her mother: "Mother, you are just sick now. You will get better soon after taking the medicine."
"Okay, it will get better soon. I'll stay with you for a while longer," Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
The elixir that Master Yuxu concocted was quite good. After Lu's mother took it, her complexion immediately became much rosier, and she looked much better than before, as if she had never been sick.
"Mother, you should rest first. Qing Si and I will go get you something to eat." Lu Ming tucked the blanket around his mother and pulled Lu Qing Si out.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Lu Qingsi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Qingsi, do you still have the pills you gave Mother earlier?" Lu Ming asked embarrassedly. He had never given Lu Qingsi anything before, and now he was actually asking her for extremely precious pills. Even though Lu Qingsi was his nominal sister, Lu Ming still felt a little ashamed.
"Yes, brother, do you want one?" Lu Qingsi handed Lu Ming a bottle directly.
Seeing the joy in Lu Ming's eyes, she honestly told him, "Brother, everyone's lifespan is limited. Although this pill can make Mother's health better, it can only prolong her life. Taking too much of it won't help."
The light in Lu Ming's eyes dimmed.
"Shall we stay for now?" Lu Ming murmured, as if seeking Lu Qingsi's opinion. However, Lu Qingsi knew that this was his truest thought. Even if she disagreed, he would stay alone, not to mention that Lu Qingsi would definitely agree to him.
Lu Qingsi nodded: "Yes, we'll stay here with Mother."
Even with the elixir, Lu's mother still couldn't survive three months.
During this final period, the three of them lived a comfortable and pleasant life in a small house in the village, occasionally receiving warm hospitality from the surrounding families.
When Lu's mother was buried, Lu Qingsi saw Lu Ming finally shed a tear. He stared at the tombstone for a long time, then turned and left, as if he had let go of something.
On the long road of cultivation, the most primal kinship is always the first thing to be severed.
From the moment it leaves you, you will have no further connection with this world.
"Brother." Lu Qingsi looked at the taciturn Lu Ming with some concern.
Lu Ming patted Lu Qingsi's head: "I'm fine, I'll be alright in a while. We still have to go out and train, and we still need to achieve enlightenment and ascend to the Immortal Realm. I won't forget any of that. Let's go, we've already wasted quite a bit of time, which way do you want to go?"
Which way to go? Lu Qingsi herself wasn't quite sure.
"Does brother have any thoughts?"
Lu Ming shook his head: "I've only been going back and forth around the Floating Dream Sect. I've never traveled far. I don't know where would be a better place to go."
"How about we go south?" Lu Qingsi suggested.
She vaguely remembered Lu Ming mentioning a secret realm somewhere in the south, where those who went would emerge with improved cultivation levels. Lu Qingsi was still very curious about that legendary place.
She was determined to go and see if that place was really as legendary as it seemed!
