Chapter 34
Seeing that Luo Hengzhi ignored him and didn't leave, Yu Yun stood at the dining door and talked to himself: "Senior Brother usually cooks for himself like this, it must be really hard work."
Luo Hengzhi raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Yun: "What? Are you feeling sorry for Senior Brother's difficult life again, so you came all this way to give him money?"
Yu Yun was furious when she thought about the 100 million yuan that Luo Hengzhi had swindled out of her yesterday. She was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night: "Luo Hengzhi, are you sick of poverty and obsessed with money? You have no money!"
"Hengzhi, Luo Yi asked me to bring some food over." Huo Qinglei received a message from Luo Yi early in the morning, asking him to bring food. As soon as he came in, he heard Yu Yun shouting. Huo Qinglei passed by Yu Yun and said, "Uncle Yu is here too. Stay and have some with us."
"I have already stopped eating grains!" Yu Yun said, then turned and left.
"What's he doing here so early in the morning?" Huo Qinglei walked into the kitchen and poured the food into a plate.
Luo Hengzhi said calmly, "It's the masochistic nature of a green tea b*tch."
"That's a pretty apt description. However, this person's background is extraordinary. The Yu family..." Huo Qinglei glanced at the door, "You don't know, but their Yu family genealogy can be traced back a thousand years. The family line has never been broken for a thousand years. That's not all. I also found out that the Yu family has been privately occupying a gold mine for nearly a thousand years. A gold mine, a gold mine that hasn't been mined out in a thousand years."
Luo Hengzhi: "Gold mine, private appropriation, is this allowed?"
"How could that be allowed? So, the Yu family... well, that's a secret." Huo Qinglei pointed upwards, leaving it at that.
"Which Yu family?" Luo Hengzhi asked.
Huo Qinglei: "South, Yanshui City."
"The South." Luo Hengzhi remembered that Ye Zi and Master Yun Qing had gone to the South this time. Could it be related to Yu Yun?
Luo Hengzhi: "Do you know how he became an apprentice?"
"The disciples that Master Yunqing takes in all have one thing in common: they all have immortal bodies, which is different from our spiritual root bodies." Huo Qinglei glanced at Luo Hengzhi. "I heard you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage. What kind of physique do you have? How come your cultivation speed is like a rocket?"
Luo Hengzhi didn't respond to his question, but asked instead, "Are you saying that Yu Yun has an immortal body?"
“Yes, Master Yunqing personally confirmed it; he undoubtedly possesses an immortal body,” Huo Qinglei said. “Luo Yi showed you his sparring match with your wife. Xiao Hu and I were at a high vantage point at the time and saw it too. His movements were decisive and swift, unlike his usual teasy manner of speaking. He definitely has real skills.”
"I've said so much, but you still haven't told me how you achieved Foundation Establishment?" Huo Qinglei wouldn't let go of Luo Hengzhi. Today, he had to know the secret behind Luo Hengzhi's unexpected Foundation Establishment.
Luo Hengzhi didn't hide anything from him: "You weren't talking about my wife, were you? I have a wife, and she's a Golden Core cultivator. It's all because my wife is just too amazing. What can I do? Of course, I just rely on my wife to live off her and win without lifting a finger!"
"So, if you also want to be like me and directly establish your foundation right after absorbing Qi, the best way is to find a wife with Golden Core cultivation. Then your cultivation can also skyrocket." Luo Hengzhi imparted his experience earnestly and without reservation, every word a heartfelt truth. "One more thing, remember that finding a Golden Core wife isn't just about getting a marriage certificate. You must go to my master, True Person Yunqing, to arrange a Daoist partnership between you!"
"Really? You really got to this level by living off a woman!" Huo Qinglei saw that Luo Hengzhi's expression was serious and he didn't seem to be lying to him. "But where am I supposed to find a Golden Core cultivator partner?"
"Then I don't know. Why don't you use the resources of your Huo family to search the world? You might find something." Luo Hengzhi shrugged helplessly and served the dishes.
Luo Hengzhi shouted towards his junior brothers' room, "You little brats, come out and eat!"
"Here I am, here I am!" Little Shenmu, carrying Longbao and Huofeng, ran out with his nimble little legs.
Yesterday, Longbao arrived at Lingju Temple and secretly drank milk powder with Huofeng. They drank it all night and didn't show up!
Now that Lingju Temple has a sufficient supply of milk powder, Huofeng no longer needs to trick Xiao Cenguan into drinking it. In order to recover better, Huofeng has also transformed back into her beast form. Jiang Yuzhi, carrying Xiao Cenguan, followed behind with a smile and happily went out to eat.
After listening to Luo Hengzhi's sincere advice, Huo Qinglei left immediately. He was really prepared to give it a try. Luo Hengzhi was right. What if he found one? He would have a wife, and his cultivation would improve. Perfect!
Jiang Yuzhi: "Brother-in-law, why are you lying to your nephew Huo?"
"Can you hear us?" Luo Hengzhi paused in her arranging of dishes.
Xiao Shenmu: "Yes, cultivators have sharp ears and eyes, so Xiao Cenguan can hear it too."
Little Cen Guan, holding the milk bottle, nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, there's a barrier here, so the temporary housing won't be able to hear anything," Jiang Yuzhi reassured him.
That's good. Luo Hengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He was still not very familiar with the functions of cultivators. It seemed that he should be careful with his words in the future.
“I’m telling the truth, how can you say I’m lying to him?” Luo Hengzhi asked.
“Your Daoist partnership contract with Senior Sister is different from ordinary Daoist partnership contracts. You can increase each other’s cultivation by half, but other Daoist partnership contracts may not have this effect,” Jiang Yuzhi explained patiently.
Luo Hengzhi: "Isn't everything written in the book acceptable?"
"Brother-in-law, the Scripture Pavilion you went to is the inner chamber of our Scripture Pavilion. The cultivation books inside are all based on immortal bodies, and spiritual root bodies are excluded." Little Shenmu also came over to explain to his novice brother-in-law.
Luo Hengzhi frowned slightly: "The inner chamber of the Scripture Pavilion? There's only one Scripture Pavilion, how come I've never seen the outer chamber?"
Jiang Yuzhi: "The outer pavilion has been abandoned since it collapsed. It is located in the back mountain and has not been repaired yet. However, the books and cultivation manuals have been moved to another place by my master. They will be moved back after the repairs are completed."
"Therefore, what my brother-in-law just said is not applicable to Junior Nephew Huo, who has a spiritual root body."
Luo Hengzhi nodded: "Since it works for me, does that mean my physique might be related to the immortal body?"
“It shouldn’t be,” Jiang Yuzhi answered decisively. “Our immortal bodies have immortal spirits; we are of the same kind. We can sense the existence of each other’s immortal spirits, but my brother-in-law does not have an immortal spirit.”
"Fine." Luo Hengzhi gave up; his constitution was indeed a mystery.
"Master, Fire Phoenix wants to eat a big chicken leg." Long Bao pointed to the whole, unopened roast chicken, interrupting Luo Hengzhi's thoughts.
Luo Hengzhi opened the roast chicken that Huo Qinglei had packed and tore off a chicken leg for Long Bao and Huo Feng.
"Hengzhi." Huo Qinglei had just left but came back again. "Come out and greet him. The Jiang family has arrived."
"The Jiang family?" Luo Hengzhi stood up. Ye Zi and his master were not here, and the Jiang family had arrived, so he had to show up and greet them.
"Grandpa Jiang!" Luo Hengzhi stepped forward and shook hands with Grandpa Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang patted Luo Hengzhi's arm: "Luo Hengzhi, we meet again. I brought Mo'er's parents to meet his master."
Luo Hengzhi: "It's a bit unfortunate. Ye Zi just left and may not be back for a while."
Old Mrs. Jiang said with some regret, "The immortal is not here. What bad luck."
"Luo Hengzhi, my master went out without you. Did you two have another fight?" Jiang Mo asked curiously after looking for his master, Luo Hengzhi, several times without success.
"Mo'er," Liu Yue called out to Jiang Mo, signaling him to speak properly.
Ever since Jiang Mo learned that his master was the one who had joined the group purchase of Luo Hengzhi, he had wanted to announce it online, but he was afraid of causing controversy and trouble for his master, so he kept it to himself. Now, he was determined to tell his grandparents and parents this big piece of gossip.
Jiang Mo: "I have some big news to tell you. You don't know yet, but Luo Hengzhi and my master are a couple. They are Daoist partners, what we call husband and wife."
“A married couple,” said Madam Jiang. “So even immortals get married. But the two of them are indeed a perfect match.”
"Let's go inside and talk." Luo Hengzhi looked at the curious eyes staring at her, realizing that the next step was to ask about married life. Luo Hengzhi regretted letting Luo come down the mountain again.
Jiang Mo: "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma, please go inside first. I'll take the things you brought over."
"This place really needs to be renovated." When she saw the imposing gate, she didn't think much of it, but the further she went in, the more she realized that the house was quite old. She never expected that the place where the immortals lived would be so simple and unpretentious.
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Aunt." Knowing that people were coming, Xiao Shenmu and Jiang Yuzhi had prepared tea in advance and greeted them politely, just like ordinary children.
"Why are there such young children here?" When Madam Jiang and Grandpa Jiang saw the two children, one of whom was holding a baby, they couldn't help but ask, "Why is there a baby drinking milk here? Are they disciples of Ye Ziling Temple? How could their parents be so willing to send such a young child up the mountain?"
Madam Jiang was initially distressed that her beloved grandson was having a hard time living on the mountain, but now, seeing the baby in swaddling clothes, she suddenly realized that her grandson should have left home long ago.
"Grandpa and Grandma, have some tea." Jiang Yuzhi put Xiao Cen Guan on the small recliner, poured tea to serve the guests, and said, "Uncle and Aunt, don't stand, sit down and rest your feet."
"The children here are so well-behaved!" Liu Yue couldn't help but exclaim, and Jiang Junrong nodded in agreement.
“Mom and Dad, they’re not just any ordinary kids, they’re my junior uncles.” Jiang Mo walked in carrying the things, handing the snacks he brought to Jiang Yuzhi and Xiao Shenmu. “Hello, junior uncles, I brought you desserts and ice cream. You can put them in the fridge and eat them slowly.”
"Do you have ice cream? I want to have one first." Little Shen Mu was a little greedy. When his senior sister was around, she was afraid he would get an upset stomach, so she wouldn't let him eat anything cold.
Jiang Yuzhi: "You can only eat one. If you eat too many, you'll get an upset stomach."
"Okay," Xiao Shenmu obediently replied.
"What a good boy." Madam Jiang couldn't help but touch little Shen Mu's face, and then picked up little Cen Guan who was lying on the small bed.
Little Cen Guan smiled at Old Madam Jiang with his big, round eyes.
"Oh my, such a young child can already smile at people." The more Madam Jiang looked at her, the more pleased she became.
"Hold the child tight." Grandpa Jiang also came closer to tease little Cen Guan, who grabbed Grandpa Jiang's hand and shook it.
Madam Jiang: "This child is just over a month old, right? He seems to understand what I'm saying?"
"Grandma, didn't I just say that the children here are not ordinary children? The one you're holding..." Jiang Mo suddenly realized that there wasn't a smaller one when he arrived, but his intuition told him that this was also his martial uncle.
Xiao Shenmu looked at Jiang Mo with a mischievous smile and said, "Junior Nephew Jiang, this is also your junior uncle, Xiao Cen Guan."
"Well, I've only been gone for two days, and my seniority has dropped again when I come back." Fortunately, Jiang Mo has already learned to accept it; his three-year-old junior uncle is no different from a newborn.
"The child is so young and so adorable, how could his parents bear to leave him on the mountain?" Old Madam Jiang gently touched little Cen Guan's cheek and asked with heartache.
Upon hearing the words "Mom and Dad," Xiao Cenguan's adorable face instantly lost its smile.
Jiang Yuzhi patted Xiao Cen Guan's head to comfort him: "None of us have parents."
