Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Chapter 30 Return

Three days later, in Mingyang City, Changyang County of Cang Country.

"This should be the place!"

Zhao Yu arrived in front of a mansion that occupied a vast area and glanced at the Ling Mansion plaque hanging above the entrance.

Li Xianjiao stood silently by his side.

A servant came forward and said, "This is Ling Mansion. May I know the business of the two visitors?"

Zhao Yu said, "Go inform the master of the house, and say that a friend of Ling Chongshan has come to visit."

"Honored guests, please wait a moment!"

The servant's face changed slightly, and he bowed very respectfully to Zhao Yu and his companion before turning to enter the mansion.

Not long after, a beautiful woman in her mid-thirties, tall and voluptuous, with an extraordinarily gorgeous appearance and at the second level of Qi Refinement, walked out from within the mansion, accompanied by two young and beautiful women.

Among the two young women, one was around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, also at the second level of Qi Refinement, dressed in a green long dress, tall and voluptuous, with shoulder-length hair, extremely beautiful, and with a dignified and elegant demeanor.

The other was about fifteen or sixteen years old, at the first level of Qi Refinement, wearing blue clothes, with a pure and beautiful appearance and an innocent and naive aura.

The stunningly beautiful woman said with a hint of caution in her eyes, "My name is Cheng Linlan, and I am Ling Chongshan's wife. May I inquire as to how to address you, friend?"

"I am Zhao Yu, a good friend of Ling Dao's! Unfortunately, Ling Dao passed away in a small black mountain market. According to his will, I am here to return a portion of his legacy to you."

Zhao Yu handed a storage bag to Cheng Linlan, which contained thirteen mid-grade Spirit Stones, more than a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, and some Talismans and a mid-grade Magic Artifact.

Cheng Linlan swayed, her complexion turning extremely pale as if all strength had been drained from her, and she fell toward the ground.

The elegant and dignified young woman in the green dress quickly supported Cheng Linlan, asking with concern, "Mother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!"

Cheng Linlan's face was pale as she grasped the storage bag and invited him, "Daoist Zhao, please come inside for a talk."

"I apologize for intruding!"

Only then did Zhao Yu enter the reception hall of Ling Mansion with Li Xianjiao.

Disdain flickered in the depths of Ling Lian Xue and Ling Nian Lei's eyes as well.

However, in the Cultivation World where all sorts of people exist, compared to those from the Demon Path who refine Spirit Pills using living people, showing absolutely no humanity, having a child bride doesn't seem like much.

"Stop causing trouble!"

Zhao Yu fondly tapped Li Xianjiao on the forehead and helplessly said, "Cheng Yu, Xianjiao is the daughter of an old friend. For now, she is temporarily staying with me."

Cheng Linlan's face showed sudden understanding: "So that's how it is!"

Zhao Yu and Cheng Linlan continued discussing the details of their collaboration.

Cheng Linlan said, "The sky is getting dark. Zhao Yu, why don't you two have an evening meal and rest well in the mansion tonight? We can continue our discussion tomorrow, how about that?"

Zhao Yu replied, "Then we shall impose upon your hospitality!"

After the evening meal, Ling Nian Lei led Zhao Yu and Li Xianjiao to a spacious guest room for them to rest.

"Be careful by yourself!"

As soon as Zhao Yu entered the room, he reminded Li Xianjiao, then deployed the Phantom Step Technique and disappeared from the room like a ghost.

In a spacious room.

Cheng Linlan slowly said, "Lian Xue, Nian Lei, I am thinking of betrothing one of you to Zhao Yu. Which one of you is willing to marry him?"

The faces of Ling Lian Xue and Ling Nian Lei changed dramatically. Although Zhao Yu had become much younger and somewhat handsome and gallant, he was still far from a beautiful man like Li Yunhai.

Both girls from the Ling family were Cultivators with Spirit Roots, with countless young and handsome men pursuing them. How could they take a liking to a mere Qi Refinement level four, who was not an exceptionally beautiful man, like Zhao Yu?

Ling Lian Xue said, "Mother, I have mutual affection with Wang Jingzhang, the young master of the Wang family from Lingxi. Please bless our union!"

Cheng Linlan said with concern, "The Wang family of Lingxi is a Foundation Establishment family, and Wang Jingzhang is of the Wang family's direct line. He is of noble birth, pursued by countless women. I am afraid he won't cherish you, and I am afraid you will have regrets!"

Ling Lian Xue resolutely said, "Mother, brother Wang has promised that we will grow old together, never to part. I choose him and will never regret it! Although Uncle Zhao is a Pill Master, I still prefer brother Wang. Please give us your blessing!"

"Alright! I won't force you!"

Cheng Linlan's gaze then fell upon Ling Nian Lei.
