Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

After the two girls greeted them, Ning Haichan personally stepped forward and pulled Li Ji'an to the center.

"Father-in-law, Uncle Chen, this is Li Ji'an. He has outstanding talent and a superior temperament. He is also a reserve immortal seedling from Chong'an Prefecture."

"Yes, yes, my Big Brother Li is very powerful. If he hadn't been born into poverty, his achievements would definitely... well, only be a little bit worse than me, but definitely much stronger than her. Moreover, Big Brother Li has never taken a Marrow Cleansing Pill, right, Big Brother Li?" The presence of many big shots gave Ning Yutan courage. She grabbed the corner of Li Ji'an's clothes and directly confronted Ning Sujin.

Ning Sujin's face immediately darkened, and she glanced sharply at Ning Yutan.

Especially seeing Ning Yutan's unrestrained behavior of grabbing Li Ji'an's clothes, a fire inexplicably surged in her heart.

"Brother An, didn't you say before that you have a special liking for the Su family's 'Drifting Petals Step'? Today, my grandfather is here. You can ask him for advice in person. Is there a problem, Grandfather?" Ning Sujin looked at Su Jishi, with a somewhat double-edged intention.

Of course, besides the habitual rivalry with Ning Yutan and probing Su Jishi, she also really wanted to get a martial art for Li Ji'an that could save his life in a crisis. After all, that guy was terribly afraid of death.

"..." Su Jishi was immediately stunned, a little unable to react.

He looked at Li Ji'an, then at Ning Sujin, and then at Ning Yutan.

Suddenly, his old face became animated.

"This little brat..." He finally stared at Li Ji'an with a profound look.

Ning Yutan was also stunned. She didn't expect this old woman to be so crazy in order to compete with her.

"Big Brother Li, didn't you also say that our family's 'Falling Flower Sword Technique' is invincible? If you want to learn it, I'll have my dad teach it to you. Right, Dad?" She immediately refused to be outdone and winked frantically at her dad.

"Ah!" Ning Haichan looked at Ning Yutan in even greater disbelief.

Seeing that the two didn't answer, the two girls looked at each other and continued to put pressure.

"Grandfather?"

"Dad!"

...

"This... the 'Drifting Petals Step' is my Su family's inherited footwork... However, if Sujin asks, it's not impossible..." Su Jishi looked at the change in Ning Sujin's expression and finally relented. This time he came with the mission of finding a way to resolve the misunderstanding between grandfather and granddaughter, paving the way for inviting Ning Sujin back to the Su family in ten years.

Anyway, if Li Ji'an married Ning Sujin, he would be considered a member of his Su family. Being able to complete the Blood Exchange at the age of twenty and being listed as a reserve immortal seedling was enough to show his talent. The immortal seedling was basically hopeless, but if he had family resources to support him, he would have hope of becoming a Qi and Blood Grandmaster in this life.

Since Su Susu, the second-generation seedling of the Su family, was tricked away by Ning Haichan, and the third-generation Su Fan was successfully taken to the Immortal Realm by the immortal master, the Su family was indeed somewhat lacking in successors. If Ning Sujin and Li Ji'an could return to the clan, it should be able to continue the family's status for another hundred years.

After Ning Haichan reacted, he was quite straightforward: "What's so difficult about this? I have always admired Ji'an. As long as my virtuous nephew Ji'an asks, it will naturally be possible."

"Hmm?" But Ning Haichan's straightforwardness made Su Jishi frown slightly.

You didn't give the Marrow Cleansing Pill to my precious granddaughter, and now you want to snatch a man too?

It also turned the competition between Ning Yutan and Ning Sujin into a tie.

"Ning Haichan, what do you mean?" Su Jishi slapped the table and glared at Ning Haichan.

Ning Haichan was confused. Wasn't this all about choosing a husband for Sujin?

You've already taken out the Su family's footwork, how can I be stingy? What's more, this will be my son-in-law in the future.

"Hmph, kid, listen carefully. As long as my Sujin is willing, my Su family's unique skill, the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle,' can also be passed on to you by this old man!" Su Jishi directly played a trump card!

Thump ~ Ning Haichan was shocked!

The reason why the 'Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle' can be called a unique skill is that it has almost no rivals in the hidden weapon category. It is a true top-level technique for sneak attacks and assassinations.

If his son-in-law learned the Su family's unique skill, even if Chen Xiaosheng passed away, the Ning family would have a secret weapon in the future.

In a surge of excitement, he couldn't help but look at Chen Xiaosheng: "Uncle Chen, this junior has thought it over. If Ji'an is willing, please let him be your disciple! Pass on the 'Heaven Piercing Divine Fist' to him!"

"You!" Su Jishi's eyes widened.

Playing it so big!

Chen Xiaosheng, who had been watching the show all along, didn't expect to be involved. He subconsciously looked at Li Ji'an a few more times. He was no stranger to Li Ji'an, and could even be considered familiar with him.

How could the struggle between the two daughters of the Marquis's mansion in the Immortal Seeking Academy be concealed from the Marquis's mansion's spies? And the final determination that Li Ji'an was not actively playing with the feelings of the two girls was the result he personally obtained after secretly observing Li Ji'an.

He had investigated his talent, temperament, and even personality.

If he hadn't been delayed in his childhood, he would definitely be considered a genius.

He personally was very satisfied.

"What 'Heaven Piercing Divine Fist' with such a ghost name? This old man has never recognized this name. Anyway, I had already promised the old Marquis, so it's fine as long as you're sure." Chen Xiaosheng finally scolded with a smile.

As Chen Xiaosheng nodded in agreement, the immortal official's gaze towards Li Ji'an in the military tent completely stabilized.

Envy, amazement, closeness, and even a little flattery.

The Duke's mansion's son-in-law, the Su family's grandson-in-law who is a Qi and Blood Grandmaster, the disciple of Chen Xiaosheng, a Qi and Blood Grandmaster... and he also cultivates four top-level martial arts. It is foreseeable that he will reach the top of the Grandmaster List in the future.

Subsequently, the audience's attention focused on Li Ji'an.

Li Ji'an's eyelids twitched. He really hadn't anticipated this scene in advance, and he wasn't in the mood to be happy because of the four top-level martial arts that would cause people to fight to the death outside.

The two girls had been competing for the past five years, and they were actually used to it. After such a long time together, the two of them also knew Li Ji'an's character and temperament. They had long been transformed from purely competitive tools into friends and confidantes, and there was a friendship between them.

However, it was still far from love.

Only recently, after accidentally learning about Ning Sujin's 'seeking good fortune and avoiding evil' magical power, Li Ji'an was a little obsessed with Ning Sujin's behavior.

In this regard, he admitted that he was a little greasy, or it could be said that he was overwhelmed by the sudden sense of security.

But he asked himself, it was more for this sense of security.

And this was also conditional. He already knew Ning Sujin's ambition to seek immortality, and given her talent, it was likely that she would ascend with the immortal master in the next immortal ceremony, so he hadn't thought about the future.

But now, Duke Dingguo and the Su family's ancestor were involved... obviously, they were aiming at marrying and having children to continue the family line.

First of all, he had a "rejuvenation" cheat, and whether it was to keep this secret or not wanting to personally experience the beauty turning into a skeleton and the pain of an old man sending off a young one, he was not suitable for marrying and having children.

The key was that Ning Yutan was about to ascend to the Immortal Realm, and he also knew Ning Sujin's ambition to seek immortality in her heart. Who would he marry and have children with then?

So, this was actually a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding caused by Su Jishi and Ning Haichan being blinded by the appearance of the two girls competing, and also because neither of them understood Ning Sujin's true thoughts in her heart.

He naturally couldn't let this mistake continue.

"I am ashamed to receive the love of Sister Jin and Yutan. I am even more terrified of the great kindness of the two grandmasters and the Duke. I will remember this kindness in my heart and never forget it. However... this junior is wholeheartedly seeking immortality and will put all his mind on internal cultivation in the next ten years. I have no plans to practice external martial arts for the time being!"

After thinking for a moment, he told the truth.

He didn't think of trying to get something for nothing.

Perhaps it might be successful, but the risk was greater.

He didn't use clever tricks to pull, delay, or be vague, but directly stated his intentions.

With "rejuvenation" in hand, he didn't need to rush at all in this mortal world. He could take it slowly, life after life. Even the top martial arts on the martial arts list could definitely be obtained, so why take this risk now?

Otherwise, if Ning Sujin also ascended to the Immortal Realm in ten years, how would he get along with the Duke's mansion?

As soon as the words fell, as expected, the whole audience was shocked.

In addition to the shock, the immortal officials were quite surprised. He gave up such a great fortune and power?

After recovering, they all frowned slightly, looking at Li Ji'an with a somewhat wry smile, and even pity.

They secretly sighed that Li Ji'an was still young, arrogant, unable to recognize himself, and didn't know the principle of building a tall building from the ground up.

Become an immortal?

Counting the past immortal seedlings, especially the current ones, which immortal seedling is not a descendant of a meritorious family?

Without the accumulation of several generations, how could ordinary people, even with better talent, compare with the children of wealthy families who are not inferior to him in talent and have been supplied with various valuable resources since childhood?

Being born in poverty and being able to become a reserve immortal seedling was already a blessing that had been cultivated for several lifetimes. Now that unparalleled martial arts were sent to him, he didn't know how to be grateful, but instead pushed it away with his own hands. He was really foolish.

Perhaps, it was also because he was born in such a small place and had never seen the world, so he felt good about himself because he was ranked in the top three in a prefecture.

If he went to the imperial city and saw those real peerless talents, he should understand his gap.

Especially when he knew the rarity of the martial arts techniques here, he would definitely regret what he said and did today.

However, this matter had nothing to do with them. They didn't say much, but looked at Ning Haichan.

Ning Haichan's face stiffened. The first thing he thought of was not Li Ji'an's rejection of martial arts techniques, but his unwillingness towards his precious daughter.

Seeking immortality? Could seeking immortality compare to his own daughter?

Was this little brat really blind?

However, after slightly recovering his sanity, his gaze towards Li Ji'an had a trace of appreciation.

First of all, it proved that this kid was not approaching his daughter for wealth and glory or unparalleled divine skills, nor was he the kind of person who would compromise for fame and fortune.

He was not confused by beauty, not blinded by wealth, and not willing to bend his waist for divine skills.

"He is a character!"

Therefore, his desire for Li Ji'an to be his son-in-law was three points stronger.

"What's the harm in waiting another ten years?"

"It's just that I don't know if I can pass the test of my father-in-law, this old stubborn... and Uncle Chen has never seen a disciple he likes in his life. He finally let go, but now he is rejected, I don't know..." He couldn't help but look at Su Jishi and Chen Xiaosheng with some worry.
