Chapter 348

On a bright autumn day, the morning light was faint, and the distant sky was a patch of white.

Ji You sat on a blue stone on the Cloud Mist Cliff, having already quietly entered meditation, his chest rising and falling slightly, keeping in sync with the rhythm of his breathing.

At this time, the spiritual energy scattered around the Cloud Mist Cliff began to continuously submerge into his body.

And through the slight movement of his spiritual sense, that vast spiritual sea ignited in his body, began to roam through his limbs and bones, and continuously collided in his meridians.

After many days of recuperation, his body had recovered almost completely.

So Danyangzi suggested he start breathing in spiritual energy, cooperating with the effect of the medicine to push the recovery of his meridians.

At this time, as the thick spiritual fire continuously surged in his body, rustling flames began to continuously dart out from his body.

A powerful force surged out in an instant, condensing into a scorching physique that roared out.

Amidst the magnificent Qi, the soil particles on the cliff began to tremble continuously.

Breakthrough...

Ji You couldn't help but recite silently.

When he entered the ruins with the six great Immortal Sects, his body refinement level had only reached the third level, and according to his previous analysis, this physical realm should have nine levels.

After returning from the ruins, he first fell into a coma, then recuperated, and only dared to use spiritual energy to ensure he didn't bring pressure to his body.

And when he refined his body again, he discovered that he seemed to have crossed a major level, which was what he was supposed to encounter at the fifth level.

If only according to the combat power level, he should be close to the Upper Boundless Realm now.

This matter sounds accidental, but it didn't make people feel too accidental.

The battle in the altar almost cost him his life, and the Immortal-Startling Sword Array's tempering of him was also terrifying enough; it's not strange for the physical body to break through shackles under extreme conditions.

Almost able to beat the tsundere ghost.

Doesn't this mean letting her lie down when she should lie down, letting her kneel when she should kneel, letting her spread her legs when she should spread her legs, and letting her admit she is a little water tiger when she should admit she is a little water tiger?

Ji You raised the corners of his mouth gently, then slowly breathed out a mouthful of turbid air from his body, stood up from the blue stone, and turned to walk toward the pavilion behind.

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were waiting for him in the pavilion at this time, and stood up one after another after seeing him finish his body refinement.

Ji You's ability to move gradually didn't need them to attend to him personally anymore. Although the three often went out for a stroll and chatted, it was actually a bit boring.

In summary, the Young Master awake is not as fun as the Young Master in a coma.

"Young Master."

"Finished, let's go back and rest for a while."

Ji You took the silk cloth handed over by Zhuo Wanqiu to wipe his sweat and sat on the wheelchair supported by Ding Yao.

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu pushed him down the mountain: "Young Master Kuang came over early this morning. He has already written the plan for the circulation of grain and spirit sprouts in Fengzhou, and asked when the Young Master will return to Fengzhou."

"Five days later, Elder Danyangzi said I won't need to take medicine anymore five days later."

"Then after we go back in a while, I'll send someone to notify him."

The disaster ended, the tsundere ghost was safe, and Ji You's injuries had recovered almost completely.

So he decided to return to Fengzhou, continue the path he had thought of before, and take the poor commoners to make money.

It's true that the barbarians and demons are still heading south, but he alone can't do anything, so it's better to do what he can.

In fact, it's already very good now compared to before. Ji You has no great ambitions. When he first came to Azure Cloud, he just wanted to join a private cultivation stronghold and be a fierce bandit.

Ji You was thinking, when he heard Ding Yao's voice ring in his ear: "Young Master, that Ding Shijie of yours came again early this morning and also sent a lot of medicine."

"Ding Shijie He?"

"Yes, she has come five times in these three days, and that He family head also came together today, a bit overly active."

After Ji You woke up, he couldn't stay in the room and would often go out for a stroll, so the academy also knew about him waking up.

He Lingxiu did visit often, with great concern.

However, in Ji You's view, the reason his Ding Shijie, who cares about the world, would do this was mainly because after experiencing the human race's catastrophe, she suddenly had the idea of pulling him into her own camp through marriage.

In fact, what he thought was right, but the object was wrong.

This time He Lingxiu didn't want to introduce a marriage to him with that daughter of the Qiu family, but herself.

Si hour, the sun is warm.

In the third household of the first row of the inner courtyard Immortal Residence, He Lingxiu sat upright in front of the tea table in the courtyard.

Her father He Ye and several Elders of the family were sitting opposite her, drinking tea and chatting.

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan changed to a new Abbot, which is a very major matter for the families attached to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan. They naturally want to come to express their congratulations, and the He family is no exception.

At this time, the fragrance of spirit tea continuously drifted in the courtyard, mellow and rich.

"After the expedition, all the major families suffered heavy losses, and even the two Spirit Travel Realm clan elders of my He family were lost in that battle. A presence like Ji You, whose combat power is outstanding, must absolutely not be let go."

He Ye's voice rang in the courtyard, causing everyone to fall silent, including He Lingxiu.

Because of her father's words, the scene of Chu Xian falling to the ground and Ji You standing tall with his sword appeared in her mind, and her eyelashes trembled.

When the Heavenly Dao Assembly ended that year, Ji You entered the Sages' Holy Land to cultivate but didn't break through, which was discussed by people all over the world.

But later, some people said that Elder Fang kept avoiding him, and the sword wound he suffered in the Dongping Mountains before might have come from his hand.

However, rumors are rumors after all, and there aren't many who believe them.

Especially He Lingxiu, she had been in seclusion all last year, was not very clear about these rumors, and always felt that Ji You had reached a bottleneck, and would probably have no more glory added to him afterward.

It wasn't until this expedition that they truly saw Ji You's combat power.

Fisting an evil seed of the Responding to Heaven Realm, sword-blocking the bombardment of a demon of the Spirit Travel Realm, seizing the soul from Heavenly Dao, and killing Chu Xian amidst the evil spirit.

All of this made people tremble in their hearts.

He Ye looked at his daughter at this time: "Lingxiu, be more active in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan in the future, and you must recruit him as a son-in-law into the family."

He Long frowned upon hearing this: "He has a private affair with the daughter of the Pill Sect, he might not be willing to agree."

"Although the Pill Sect is an Immortal Sect, it cannot cultivate the Immortal Dao, and can only seal the mountain before major events, which already explains the problem. Especially the body refinement technique Ji You walks doesn't have much demand for elixirs, which shows that it is not his good match."

He Ye turned the teacup and said again: "Especially the Pill Sect sealing the mountain, which may be related to the six great Immortal Sects visiting the ruins."

He Long was slightly startled: "There is also this matter?"

"The ruins have always been under the guard of the six great Immortal Sects and haven't been opened, but when the disaster came, they had already been opened. In my view, the six great Immortal Sects must have developed greed in secret. There were also alchemists in the Qiling disaster that year. Don't you think the Pill Sect's mountain sealing time is too coincidental?"

"The family head means that the six great Immortal Sects forced the Pill Sect to lend alchemists to help them visit the immortal fate, and the Pill Sect had no choice but to seal the mountain out of fear?"

He Ye nodded: "Correct, so although the Pill Sect is glorious on the surface, it is actually still an existence that cannot enter the core of power, so the attraction to Ji You won't be that great."

He Long nodded after hearing this: "That is also true."

"Family marriage is for mutual borrowing of strength. Recruiting him into my He family as a son-in-law is not a loss for him. After Lingxiu gives birth to his offspring, the second one can change to his surname. As for the other women around him, you can also turn a blind eye."

He Ye picked up the teacup: "The Pill Sect needs a marriage that is loyal to them, and the control over the son-in-law is very strict. I don't think they will offer such good conditions."

Hearing this, He Lingxiu couldn't help but frown slightly.

After being saved by Ji You during the expedition, she did have feelings for this Ji Shidi.

Especially in this quiet time after the disaster, every night, that figure guarding in front with a sword would sneak into her dreams with the wind, making her sweat profusely.

But some things were not very acceptable to her.

Giving birth to offspring for Ji You, letting the second child take his surname, this matter is no problem, but allowing her to turn a blind eye to the women around him made her very resistant.

The He family is one of the few thousand-year-old families remaining in Azure Cloud, and it also has a marriage with the Abbot of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, with a lofty status.

He Lingxiu herself is also about to enter the Responding to Heaven Realm, and a woman with such cultivation is not easy to find in this world.

She has her own pride, even if she had considered Chai Ze and Shi Junhao before, she had never thought of allowing them to take concubines.

"Lingxiu?"

He Lingxiu's eyelashes trembled after hearing the call, and she slowly came back to her senses, looking at her father: "I was thinking about some things just now, what instructions does Father have?"

"What I said just now, what do you think?"

"The former can be accepted, but asking me to turn a blind eye to the women around him is a bit difficult for your daughter."

He Ye patted her shoulder: "For thousands of years, the marriages of Azure Cloud families have all been like this, which is not unheard of. I know these conditions are a bit aggrieved for you, but as my eldest daughter, you should consider the family."

He Lingxiu nodded reluctantly after thinking for a long time: "Let's follow what Father said first. As for the subsequent matters, let's talk about it after Ji Shidi Ji is recruited into the family. How to manage the husband, the root is still in me."

"Since that's the case, let's find a suitable time to formally invite him to a banquet. This matter will be in my name."

"Everything listens to Father."

The negotiation ended, and He Ye and He Long stood up and walked out of He Lingxiu's courtyard.

They are not disciples of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan. According to the academy rules, unless they are invited guests, others cannot stay overnight in the courtyard.

Especially since the current Azure Cloud is undercurrents surging, with constant fighting and snatching, it is even more so.

He Lingxiu sent the two away from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, and when she returned to the mountain, she couldn't help but look toward Jixiang Hall.

However, as she looked, she was suddenly stunned.

Because on the mountain road full of golden trees, she saw many senior and junior sisters from prominent families walking back and forth on the mountain road, some of whom clearly didn't belong to Jixiang Hall.

Even, among them was Yu Shiliu, who had a good relationship with her.

At this time, Ji You had already returned to Jixiang Hall and was looking at a pile of invitation cards together with Cao Jingsong and others who came to visit routinely.

This was the same as when he first entered the inner courtyard and won the top spot in the Heavenly Dao Assembly, but the identities of the senders were vastly different.

When he entered the inner courtyard, the invitation cards he received were basically from century-old families, but this time, most were from thousand-year-old families.

"This is truly not what it used to be. Look, there is even a handwritten letter from an Elder of the Chen family!"

Cao Jingsong picked up one he was interested in and unfolded it: "There is a great-granddaughter in the family, eighteen years old, gentle and virtuous... What do you think?"

Ji You sat on the tea mat and opened his mouth: "I dare not look."

"?"

"My backyard has never been something I can be the master of."

Cao Jingsong nodded after hearing this, expressing deep agreement.

If it were in the past, Old Cao would definitely advise him to marry quickly.

But knowing that his big one was the little Appraisal Master of Spirit Sword Mountain, they didn't dare to speak randomly.

If you want to enter the rebellious disciple's courtyard, it's useless for him to agree; the most powerful one has to agree.

Not to mention that those thousand-year-old families boast of deep backgrounds and all want to recruit him as a son-in-law. If the little Appraisal Master saw it, let alone entering the courtyard, she would probably break his legs and throw him into the mountain ditch.

"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. After the expedition, Ji Shidi Ji's true combat power appeared, so naturally, the door will be crowded. Even my family sent an invitation card, it's completely a random match."

Wen Zhengxin took out an invitation card with body temperature from her bosom and handed it to Ji You calmly.

Ji You reached out to take it, thinking to himself, Ding Shijie, don't pretend.

You and the Lu sisters have clearly already ranked yourselves without me knowing.

After reading the Wen family's invitation card, Ji You reached out to open several other letters.

Although he said he didn't dare to look, curiosity was inevitable.

Among those who sent invitation cards this time, besides the Elder of the Chen family, the deepest backgrounds were the He family and the Yu family, a thousand-year-old family where Elder Yu of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan was.

Most of them hoped that Ji You would be recruited as a son-in-law and promised a lot.

Actually, as an outsider, although Ji You lives in the current environment, his understanding of the importance of family alliances is not deep, until this gathering of invitation cards made him feel a little bit.

A private cultivator from the countryside, alone, no matter how high his combat power is, in the eyes of some high-and-mighty cultivation families, he can only be recruited as a son-in-law.

How can a single combat power compare to a huge family?

So even if they promised something like the second child changing surname, not investigating outside relationships, it was still recruiting as a son-in-law.

On the contrary, that tsundere ghost of his, from knowing to calling him husband, never mentioned recruiting him to Spirit Sword Mountain as a son-in-law, nor did she say that the child must have the surname Yan.
