Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 185 - Against The Law Of Heaven

Lu Yu had just asked the question, and an anxious expression unconsciously appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, the old mother's face immediately showed a serious expression.

Instead of immediately revealing how she had ascended from the mundane to become a cultivator, she solemnly asked:

"In the eyes of the heavens, all things are destined to be mere dogs."

"Don't even mention me wanting to break the heavens and become a cultivator, even if anyone else wants to ascend from the mundane to become a cultivator, they would have to pay a great price, even if it means shedding their skin."

"And the cost is enormous."

"Even for a cultivator like Immortal Lord who has gained power, it is not an easy task to make a mundane person ascend to become a cultivator."

"Immortal Lord, have you thought it through?"

Lu Yu frowned and pondered for a long time before saying lightly:

"This is my wife's wish, and it is also my wish."

Thinking back to every joyful moment when Ling'er was always there to assist without reservation, although there was a hint of joy in her eyes, there was also a trace of bitterness.

Even when the other sisters were cultivating in the quiet room, she often had a look of sentiment and envy while taking care of the household chores.

But if the method proposed by the old mother is really too dangerous and torturous, Lu Yu would rather Ling'er grow old and die.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yu sighed and said, "Ling'er is my beloved wife."

"No matter when or what difficulties arise, as long as it is possible, I hope she can always be by my side."

Upon hearing this, the old mother's face showed a slight change, and then she said, "I only hate that my appearance has aged."

"If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely fight for a place among Immortal Lord's wives and concubines."

Lu Yu heard this and his face showed an embarrassed expression, even the closed-eyed Fairy Wan Yue next to him slightly opened her eyes.

After blaming herself for a while, the old mother said, "Actually, there is currently no way for a mundane person to ascend to become a cultivator."

"Even the opportunity I mentioned before has been bought at a high price."

"However, if Immortal Lord agrees, I cannot guarantee that Ling'er will survive the ascension process."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

"Old mother, we have a good relationship, why didn't you mention this method before if it is so dangerous?"

Seeing this, the old mother's body trembled, and she struggled to explain:

"Immortal Lord, it was a different time back then."

"I didn't know the details of this method of ascending to become a cultivator if I hadn't experienced it myself."

"And the senior cultivators I advised didn't reveal it either."

Lu Yu heard this and coldly snorted, "If that's the only explanation, I can't accept it."

Isn't this false advertising, taking advantage of honest people?

Whether in the past or present, he despised false advertising.

Moreover, if he had rashly agreed last time, Ling'er might have died because of it.

Seeing Lu Yu's increasingly unpleasant expression, the old mother's knees went weak, and she immediately bowed down:

"Immortal Lord, I truly didn't know before."

"You must not hold it against me."

"Of course, I will provide sufficient compensation."

"The female cultivator who was sent this time, if Immortal Lord is interested, you can take her directly."

"I won't accept a single cent, and in the future, I will also give Immortal Lord a fifty percent discount..."

Lu Yu, seeing the old mother's sincere words, softened his heart and said:

"Alright, considering the matter of escaping from the Holy Spirit Mountain before, I won't investigate further."

Upon hearing this, the old mother felt as if she had been granted amnesty and said, "Immortal Lord, I am extremely grateful."

Lu Yu asked again, "I have high requirements for my Dao companion now, can the old mother provide her services for free this time?"

"Of course, in front of Immortal Lord, I can be the master."

The old mother stood up confidently.

"It seems that the benefits you will receive are not just becoming a cultivator."

Grandmother waved her hand and smiled, "Isn't it all thanks to Immortal Sir?"

Lu Yu nodded somewhat numbly and said, "The matter of choosing a partner is not urgent. I still have some doubts about mortals ascending as cultivators."

Grandmother poured spiritual tea for Lu Yu and smiled, "Immortal Sir, it is difficult for mortals to enter the path of immortality. It is the will of heaven."

"If one goes against the natural order, it is likely to invite calamity."

"Moreover, one must cultivate special techniques to ensure that the artificially forged spiritual roots are not rejected and gradually improve."

"Using artificially forged spiritual roots?"

A trace of seriousness appeared on Lu Yu's face as he sighed, "If that's the case, it can be purchased within the Qingyun Commercial Sect."

"But practicing the techniques that complement the artificially forged spiritual roots is extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, they may explode and die."

"Furthermore, if one practices the accompanying techniques for a long time, the pseudo cultivator's temperament will also undergo a drastic change."

"If you were to ascend as a cultivator using this method, in my opinion, it would be better not to mention it again."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. This method was too flawed and had significant side effects.

There were even rumors that some mortals who forged spiritual roots died prematurely.

It was truly a case of sacrificing the essential for the trivial.

Upon hearing this, Grandmother maintained her smile and said, "The Qingyun Commercial Sect is a high-end commercial sect in the cultivation world."

"They are too busy to even consider ordinary cultivators, let alone ordinary mortals."

"But the Wanxiang Sect I belong to is different."

"Within the Wanxiang Sect, there is a branch dedicated to researching the methods for mortals to ascend as cultivators."

"They have long surpassed the methods of the Qingyun Commercial Sect."

"Not only has the quality of artificially forged spiritual roots greatly improved, but the accompanying cultivation techniques have also become much safer."

Lu Yu heard this and his face showed a complex expression.

Surpassing the Qingyun Commercial Sect?

He finished the spiritual tea in his cup and looked at Grandmother several times.

Then he got up and bid farewell.

Just as he was about to leave the Wanxiang Tower, Grandmother flipped her hand and took out a jade slip.

"Immortal Sir, this is a high-level communication jade slip from my Wanxiang Tower."

"Not only can it be used to communicate with me, but it also contains information about female cultivators suitable as partners for cultivators."

"And it refreshes every now and then."

"In the future, Immortal Sir doesn't need to come to the Wanxiang Tower frequently, just communicate with me through this."

After speaking, she whispered, "Before this, I specifically asked senior cultivators in the sect. According to rumors, there will be new breakthroughs in the methods for mortals to ascend as cultivators every year or half a year..."

On the way back to the Lanxin Mansion.

Lu Yu remained calm, with a furrowed brow.

He didn't have high expectations for this. Although he had already felt the spiritual power of a cultivator from Grandmother.

But that faint pressure made him hesitate and struggle.

If it was just for this little bit of spiritual power, he would never let Ling'er take risks.

It would be better to observe for a while longer.

If it really couldn't work, then wait for Ling'er to grow older and go to the Qingyun Commercial Sect to purchase the method of artificially forging spiritual roots.

Although it was dangerous, if it succeeded, it would greatly increase Ling'er's lifespan.

As for how much longer it could extend Ling'er's life, Lu Yu himself didn't know.

He felt a sense of emotion and confusion in his heart.

The cost was not a concern for him, but he just hoped that Ling'er wouldn't be harmed.

When they were about to reach the teleportation array in the Lanxin Mansion, Fairy Wanyue suddenly spoke up.

"So there is the Wanxiang Sect behind it. It seems that it's not that simple."
