"Brother, brother, come and play with me, brother, help me pick this flower."
In Jiang Yun's mind, a little boy and a little girl were playing happily. This memory was so profound that the original owner had recalled it countless times.
However, in the end, the original owner angrily cursed the girl, and the girl left crying. He only left behind a jade slip with those words.
"I spent a huge sum of money to get this jade slip for passing on my skills. I have repaid all my debts to you. Let's live in peace from now on!"
And all this started when the original owner was 14 years old.
Jiang Yun and Jiang Yue, now known as Jiang Qiuyue, were from Jiangjia Village, Taihu County, Hengyang Commandery, Yunhua State. They were twin siblings. Having grown up together, they naturally had a close relationship.
When Jiang Yun was 14 years old, their father Jiang Ze called Jiang Yun over and said:
"Yun'er, this is the biggest secret of our Jiang family. Although our Jiang Village is a family in the secular world, we actually have a legacy in the world of immortal cultivation."
Jiang Ze picked up a token on the table and continued:
"This Immortal Seeking Token is a family heirloom. When a family heir reaches the age of 14, they will smear the token with their blood. If they have the aptitude to cultivate immortality, the ancestors will send someone to take them to the Immortal Cultivation Realm to cultivate immortality."
Jiang Yun was overjoyed upon hearing this. With a youthful spirit, he had grown up listening to stories of heroes and immortals. Who could have imagined that one of his ancestors had once been an immortal? He still remembered the overwhelming pride he felt at the time, imagining himself becoming an immortal and a patriarch in the world of immortal cultivation.
Full of anticipation, Jiang Yun smeared his blood on the token. Unfortunately, while Jiang Yun anxiously waited, several days passed without anyone showing up. Jiang's father thus extinguished his hope for this generation of immortal cultivators.
Finally, Jiang Yun couldn't help himself. He forgot his father's words when he left:
"My son, please remember this. You must keep this secret and wait until your son is 14 before conducting the test."
He finally told his sister, Jiang Yue, about this.
Because at that time in Jiang Yun's heart, his sister was the person closest to him.
Jiang Yue was also a child at heart, pestering his father and Jiang Yun to try it himself. Jiang's father disagreed, saying that this was a treasure passed down through generations of the Jiang family, and it was always passed down to sons, not daughters.
But Jiang Yun couldn't resist his sister, so he secretly stole the Xunxian Order one night and asked Jiang Yue to smear it with blood.
Jiang Yun's memory at that time actually did not think that his sister would become an immortal. It was more to satisfy his sister's curiosity and his own desire to show off.
But within three days, a female fairy in white came to the Jiang family on a flying sword. She took Jiang Yue away, with Jiang's father and mother fearful and Jiang Yun jealous.
"Son, since your sister has been chosen by the immortal, let's live a good life in the mortal world. Maybe your sons and grandsons will meet her ancestor in the future."
Jiang's father was quite easygoing. Even though his most anticipated son was not selected, it would be the same if his daughter was selected.
But in Jiang Yun's memory, the original owner's heart began to become distorted. He kept telling himself,
"This immortal fate was mine, but now it's been snatched away by Jiang Yue. I want to ask her for an explanation."
Just like that, just one year after Jiang Yue left, Jiang Yun finally left despite his parents' pleading.
"Hey, the original owner is so silly and cute!"
Jiang Yun flipped through the memories in his mind. After leaving home, the original owner followed the caravan heading north to Yunhua City, the capital of Yunhua Country.
Then I heard that one could reach the world of immortal cultivation by going around the Great Snow Mountain in the north. It took another year to finally reach Ziyun Market. At this time, the original owner was just a mortal in the Body Refining Realm.
On the day he arrived at Ziyun Market, he was nearly killed. Fortunately, Uncle Fu, who had been waiting for him for a long time, saved him.
Originally, the original owner was very grateful to Uncle Fu, but in the end he found out that Uncle Fu was following the orders of Miss Jiang Yue.
Even the fact that he was able to come to Ziyunfang was the result of the other party's protection along the way.
He immediately flew into a rage, ignoring Jiang Yue, who had come to personally fetch him for the sect, and began to scold and question him. From then on, the rift between them deepened. Jiang Qiuyue never returned, and soon after, she returned, leaving behind only a manual on cultivation secrets. Jiang Yun, therefore, remained at the Shixiang Pavilion, a position he held for over two years.
"You and your sister have a bad relationship, what does it have to do with me? Why are you still obsessed with it?"
Jiang Yun felt his memories churning, feeling both amused and helpless. After seeing Jiang Yue and restoring all the original owner's memories, he discovered that the original owner had three obsessions that needed to be fulfilled. If he failed to complete them, it would affect his cultivation, as the original owner's memories often appeared unconsciously.
The first obsession was the original owner's parents. Before his death, the original owner's obsession was to go back to his hometown to take a look. This is why Jiang Yun did not go directly to Biyunmen.
The obsession of the second pavilion is unsurprisingly related to Jiang Yue. The original owner also wanted to cultivate immortality and surpass Jiang Yue.
This obsession made Jiang Yun laugh and cry. Jiang Yue seemed to be advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage at any moment, and he was just a Qi Refining cultivator. If it didn't affect his advancement, he was confident that he would surpass her one day. But what if his obsession hindered his advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage? Jiang Yun suddenly felt a headache. But there was nothing he could do about it now.
The third obsession is more naive. The original owner wanted revenge, but he didn't know who killed him. In his last memory, Jiang Yun was a black shadow that flashed by, and the original owner's soul was instantly shattered. Only then was Jiang Yun able to travel through time.
"This." Jiang Yun came to the backyard and looked at the furnishings in front of him. This was the original owner's house and also the place where Jiang Yun traveled through time.
He couldn't see anything strange going on. He had lived here for many days and there was no danger. Suddenly, Jiang Yun thought of something and turned to leave. At this moment, he saw Uncle Fu outside the house, carrying Zhang Xindao's body to bury it.
"Uncle Fu, I'm going too."
Jiang Yun was standing behind him, looking at Uncle Fu who was holding Zhang Xindao's body and said,
"Uncle Fu, let me carry you on my back."
In an open space south of Ziyun Market, there are already many tombstones. Because the people of Ziyun Market are mostly from the mortal countries in the south, they hope to be buried closer to their hometowns.
Uncle Fu and Jiang Yun looked at the tombstone in front of them. This was carved from the trunk of a large tree that Uncle Fu had cut down himself.
"He has been alone since he was very young. He came here with his parents. After his parents died while hunting, he started practicing in the market. Later, my lady brought me to Ziyun Market, and I happened to save him from an evil cultivator. Now he has finally paid his respects."
Jiang Yun said nothing, took out incense, candles and gold ingots from his storage bag and lit them in front of Uncle Zhang's grave.
"Let's go. I still want to be here. Otherwise, no one will come to see them."
After Jiang Yun told Uncle Fu about his plan, Uncle Fu decided to stay in Shixiang Pavilion and continue running his business.
After Jiang Yun paid his respects to Zhang Xindao, he did not return to Shixiang Pavilion, but came to a shantytown in the south of Ziyunfang. He wanted to deal with one last thing before leaving.
