Chapter 153

In the morning, when the dawn was scattered, Ji You went to appreciate the mansion he had snatched with such hard work.

Goddess Ruyi, Fairy Zhengxin, and Heavenly Venerable Yangshu already had noble family status, but they could join his noble family—no, wait, his bandit stronghold—by being worshipped as benefactors.

But when it came to the growth of the population, it still required his own personal efforts to cultivate.

I don't know if the little Master of Spirit Sword Mountain is willing to give birth to a few for me. I'll go back and ask her in the Void Mountain...

However, before asking, he felt that he should perform a few more Dim Illuminations to strengthen his muscles and bones, so as not to kill the ox before plowing the land.

In addition, Yuan Caiwei of the Pill Sect and Lu Qingqiu of Yunzhou also seemed willing to give birth for him...

This was the atmosphere of the Azure Cloud World. The issue of offspring had always been the most critical point for noble families and immortal sects. Just like in the mortal world, planting one more child meant planting one more piece of land, and practitioners could not avoid this custom.

Ji You had also seen something even more outrageous, which was a letter from a senior sister who was about to leave the academy at that time.

The letter said that she didn't ask to become a dao companion with Ji You, but only asked to leave behind the seed of inheritance, and would raise it herself afterward until it grew up, which was truly shocking.

"Xiang Kuangcheng, you and Wei Rui should also have a few more children in the future and join my stronghold."

"Brother Ji really knows how to talk nonsense..."

"Heh, if you have the ability, don't suppress the corners of your mouth."

Ji You mocked the scholar's bashfulness without covering it up, then stepped out of the Falling Moon Villa. As he walked down the stone steps, he couldn't help but look back.

Moved away suddenly?

Is he truly the protagonist of destiny? Whatever he thinks of comes to him.

He pondered for a long time, finally shook his head slowly, and walked back to Prefect Xiang's mansion, where he saw Xiang Xuan with Xiang Fu, and Inspector Liu with Liu Jianbei, the four of them walking out of the east wing together.

And when Ji You noticed the look Xiang Fu was giving him at this moment, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.

This kind of look, he had seen many times after he beheaded Chu He with his sword.

Is there someone else who wants to give birth for me...?

What's going on?

It wasn't like this when I went out just now.

Xiang Kuangcheng also looked at Xiang Fu's complex and indescribable expression at this time: "Brother Ji, you are truly a disaster for women."

"Sometimes I really don't want to be a handsome man."

"By the way, I heard that Princess Changle of the Chong Prince's Mansion has designs on Brother Ji, but Brother Ji hasn't responded. I actually think Brother Ji did well."

Ji You turned to look at him: "Where is it good?"

Xiang Kuangcheng straightened his waist: "Princess Changle has a dictatorial and overbearing personality. If Brother Ji really responded, then those remaining women would be hard to provoke. Now, by not taking the initiative, not responding, and not refusing, you can manage all sides, secretly communicate, until the pearl is secretly conceived, only then can you conquer the world with a good body."

Ji You opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Is this all that the books of sages teach you?"

"These are things I thought of myself."

"A year ago when we left Yuyang County, if you hadn't taken the immortal ship with me, you would have definitely died on the road."

Xiang Kuangcheng was stunned upon hearing this: "Why is that?"

Ji You chuckled: "Because I didn't see any noble spirit, I only saw the yellow hearts of people. Someone like you can actually pass the imperial examination? Then wouldn't I, Long Xiandi, be able to be the Emperor?"

The process of offering tea and entering the academy was not complicated. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan had two more students.

Afterward, the group packed their bags and prepared to head to the next location.

Inspector Liu and Prefect Xiang sent the six of them out of the gate together, while Xiang Fu was behind them, her gaze still fixed on the white-robed scholar.

To the naked eye, one could see that he had a good figure, a handsome face, and carried a natural scholarly temperament.

Yet one truly couldn't see that he was a ruthless person who had narrowly killed a Merging with the Dao practitioner and shattered the Sword Forest.

This feeling was not real to her.

After all, Fengzhou was remote, and although Danshui Commandery was called a commandery, compared to the other nine provinces, it could only be considered a county with a larger territory.

Some figures could not be seen without leaving Fengzhou.

"Twenty-one-year-old Middle Realm of Profound Understanding..."

"The Ji family of Fengzhou..."

"Fu'er can also be considered a beautiful woman in Fengzhou, she has learned chess, calligraphy, and painting well, and can be considered a sensible beauty. Maybe there will be some opportunities."

Lady Xiang stood in front of the gate, looking at the white-clothed youth in the carriage, and couldn't help but mutter.

This was the consistent way of thinking in the Azure Cloud World. Mortal worlds, immortal villas, noble families, and even immortal sects—the way power was transmitted had always been sex, blood, and mother-infant. This was an eternal truth.

Xiang Fu's face turned red instantly upon hearing this.

Looking at the man in front of her again at this moment, her eyes suddenly had some different emotions.

However, the atmosphere among practitioners was open, so she wouldn't be shy because of her mother's arrangement, but rather generously developed a longing.

And Xiang Xuan, standing in front, also heard what his wife said and couldn't help but move in his heart.

Women like his wife usually had very narrow insights, but at this moment, he felt that his wife was truly inspired.

If the head of the first noble family in Fengzhou could truly form a marriage alliance with the Xiang family, wouldn't it be more solid and reliable than all the painstaking management of these years?

At this time, only Inspector Liu looked at the family of three, his expression strange.

He now understood that if a person didn't leave this land of Fengzhou, even if they knew that person's past, they truly couldn't clearly realize that person's value.

Xiang Xuan noticed Inspector Liu's gaze at this time and couldn't help but speak: "A woman's opinion, let Brother Liu laugh."

Inspector Liu waved his hand: "No matter, I can hold back from laughing."

"However, what my wife said is not entirely a joke. This Ji You will always need a dao companion. Fu'er is of similar age to him, and now they are both entering the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan..."

"Brother Xiang, do you really not know the status of this Ji You now?"

Xiang Xuan was slightly startled upon hearing this: "What does Inspector Liu mean by this?"

Inspector Liu stood with his hands behind his back: "Actually, ever since Ji You beheaded the Chu family's second son and entered the inner courtyard, many people have had the same thoughts as Lady Xiang."

Lady Xiang smiled: "This is not strange."

"Including Princess Changle, the daughter of the Chong Prince, and the eldest daughter of the Lu family of the Yunzhou Spirit Stone noble family."

Hearing this, the three members of the Xiang family were instantly stunned.

Inspector Liu looked at the carriage: "And now, he hasn't promised anyone yet."

"It is said that he is considering the daughter of the Pill Sect, one of the seven great immortal sects, and those people are all figures we will never see in our lifetime."

The words dissipated into the wind, and at this time, the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's carriage began to move slowly.

Afterward, the group followed the order and headed to Guiyun Commandery, Changhe County, Wanlong Town, and other places.

The Prefect of Guiyun Commandery also seemed to have known the news long ago, and Cao Jingsong didn't waste his breath and took down another student.

As for the two students in Changhe County and Wanlong Town, they entered the academy with military quotas and knew even less about cultivation. One was taken by the Chen Immortal Clan, and the other had received a post from the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion early on.

For such a result, Cao Jingsong was not willing to force it.

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan preached from the Little Little Tian Shu, and everything was based on cause and effect, following the heavens. If there was no fate, then let it be.

At this time, their carriage headed southeast all the way. Along the way, the population was sparse, the barren land was boundless, and there were continuous mountain ranges blocking their eyes.

But this scenery fell into the eyes of everyone, and it was exceptionally clear.

Yuyang County was close at hand.

At this time, in the farmland, there were scenes of busy autumn harvests everywhere.

But those who were busy were not only the strong men and women, but even some white-haired old men and old women were there, hunched over, waving sickles tremblingly, and then bending down unsteadily, falling into the field.

This was not because the children in the family were unfilial, but because the annual tax offerings were divided equally by head.

Some old people either had to be sent to the grave while alive, or they had to work in the fields.

And when the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's carriage drove past this place, many farmers couldn't help but look up at this place, then hurriedly threw down their hoes and knelt on the ridges of the fields, not daring to look up.

Ji You had actually seen such scenes many times.

On the way to take the immortal ship, on the way back from the immortal ship, along both sides of the Nu River, they were everywhere.

As Ji You watched, some thoughts in his heart began to move.

At this time, Pei Ruyi and Cao Jingsong were closing their eyes to rest, when they suddenly felt a burst of sword Qi rising around them, so they immediately opened their eyes and saw seven sharp swords already floating outside the carriage, making them instantly alert and turning their heads to look.

"What's wrong?"

"Haven't you heard? People who stir up clouds and rain outside still have to do farm work when they go home..."

"?"

Ji You whispered in the carriage, then suddenly swung his white sleeves out.

Hum!

A clear sword hum sounded, and seven spirit swords flew toward the golden wheat waves, the sharp sword Qi instantly slashing horizontally close to the ground.

【Spirit Sword Mountain Dao Sword · Willow Liu Liu Se Xin in the Coming and Going】

Coming and Going was Elder Qi's fastest sword path, while Willow Liu Liu Se Xin was the sharpest sword path.

At this time, as the spirit swords flew and slashed, countless stalks waiting to be waist-cut were all cut off. The golden wheat ears didn't react at all before lying between the ridges.

As the carriage moved forward, the seven flying swords came and went in the wheat field, constantly harvesting, and in the blink of an eye, they had swung over a hundred acres.

Wherever the sword Qi reached, there was a harvest everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Cao Jingsong's eyes couldn't help but stare straight.

Ji You had entered the Upper Five Realms and was now an inner courtyard student.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Xiang Xuan, after knowing his identity, actually became full of respect in his words.

But it was estimated that no one would have thought that his sword path, which defeated Chu He, was now harvesting autumn wheat in the fields.

What a congenital farming holy body...

"If you do this, if it is seen by the disciples of Spirit Sword Mountain, I'm afraid you will be labeled with the hat of insulting the sword path of Spirit Sword Mountain."

"This is the sword of the living people, it is my own sword path, what does it have to do with them?"

Ji You turned to look at Cao Jingsong and Pei Ruyi: "They knelt to us, so we must be worthy of this kneel. This is the immortal path. Otherwise, why are we immortals?"

Xiang Kuangcheng listened for a long time on the side, his brows couldn't help but lift slightly: "Does this sword have a name?"

"I haven't thought about it. Why don't we call it joint harvesting."

"?"

The carriage continued to move toward the city, and the old farmers kneeling in the fields couldn't help but stand up, looking at the wheat that had already been cut, and then looking at the flying swords constantly crisscrossing under the blue sky, their eyes couldn't help but be stunned.

At the same time, in the inner courtyard of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, immortal light surged on the Little Little Tian Shu Peak, which stood independently among the five peaks.

At the same time, on Spirit Sword Mountain, a piece of golden auspicious clouds came across the sky.
