Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

“The envoy from the Myriad Sword Sect.” A figure of a strong-willed and somewhat proud little girl appeared in Xu Ming's mind.

“I wonder if Xu Xuenuo from the Myriad Sword Sect has come?” Xu Ming asked with a smile.

If Xu Xuenuo came, then he wouldn't have to make a special trip to the Myriad Sword Sect to see her.

After all, the Myriad Sword Sect was quite far away. If he went to the Myriad Sword Sect, he didn't know if he would be able to rush back to Wu Du in time to participate in the selection for the Rootless Secret Realm quota.

“I'm not sure about that. We just arrived at the Heavenly Profound Gate,” Yu Wenxi said with a smile, “But Brother Xu is also a lover of beauty. The first name out of your mouth is the great beauty Xu Xuenuo.”

A lover of beauty, to put it in other words, is a 'lecher'.

“What are you talking about?” Miao Feng kicked Yu Wenxi, “Lover of beauty? What's Xu Xuenuo's surname? What's Brother Xu's surname? They're both from the Xu Residence in Wu Du. What kind of relationship do you think they have?”

“Ah?” Yu Wenxi immediately reacted, looking at Xu Ming in surprise, “That Xu Xuenuo is Brother Xu's…”

Xu Ming smiled: “My elder sister.”

“Sorry, sorry.” Yu Wenxi quickly apologized, “Please forgive me, Brother Xu. I really didn't know.”

“It's fine.” Xu Ming shook his head, “My elder sister has severed her ties with the mortal world due to cultivation. She's no longer a member of the Xu Residence, and she doesn't refer to herself as being from the Xu Residence in Wu Du, so most people outside of the Wu Kingdom don't know, which is normal.”

Miao Feng smiled: “It's just being removed from the family register. At least the blood flowing through you two siblings is the same. Speaking of which, it's really rare for the Wu Kingdom to have two geniuses like Brother Xu and Miss Xu.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly! Wouldn't it delay Brother Xu's reunion with her if that Miss Xu comes?” Yu Wenxi said anxiously.

“That's right. Brother Xu, do you want to go to the Dao Discussion Assembly and take a look?” Miao Feng asked.

“Sure.” Xu Ming nodded, then called out to Shen Sheng, who was teasing the centipede in the courtyard, “Sheng Sheng, let's go. We're going out to play.”

“Ooh ~” Hearing that they were going out to play, Shen Sheng's eyes lit up instantly. She picked up the centipede with one hand, ate it in one bite, and ran towards Brother Xu with her short legs, “ba-da, ba-da”.

“Brother Xu, there's something I wanted to ask you. I wonder if Brother Xu can enlighten me.”

As Xu Ming and his group headed towards the location of the Dao Discussion Assembly, Yu Wenxi leaned closer to Xu Ming somewhat awkwardly, looking like an innocent young man.

Xu Ming smiled: “Brother Yuwen can just ask. There's no need to be so polite between us.”

Miao Feng teased from the side: “This guy isn't being polite at all. He's just shy and wants to ask about He Qingqing.”

“Hehe he.” Yu Wenxi rubbed his head bashfully.

Xu Ming asked curiously: “I don't even know Miss He, what can Brother Yuwen ask me?”

“No, no, it's not a big deal.” Yu Wenxi quickly waved his hand, “It's just that… I heard that Brother Xu exchanged blows with Miss He yesterday, right? What does Brother Xu think of her strength?”

Xu Ming thought for a moment: “Miss He is actually quite powerful. Although I won in the end, Miss He did give me quite a bit of trouble.”

Xu Ming was telling the truth.

Although He Qingqing didn't last even ten rounds under his hands, He Qingqing's strength was indeed quite good.

“Then Brother Xu, how does Miss He's strength compare to mine…?” Yu Wenxi asked, blushing.

When Xu Ming's gaze turned to Yu Wenxi, Yu Wenxi straightened his back subconsciously.

How could Xu Ming not understand Yu Wenxi's meaning at this point?

Yu Wenxi was just worried that He Qingqing's strength was stronger than his. If the woman was stronger than the man, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up in front of He Qingqing, and he wouldn't even be embarrassed to pursue her.

“I think Brother Yuwen's strength is still a bit stronger than Miss He's… yeah, that's right.”

In order not to undermine Yu Wenxi's confidence, Xu Ming lied.

In reality, compared to He Qingqing's strength, it's hard to say within a hundred rounds, but after a hundred rounds, he would probably be beaten to the ground.

“Hahaha, is that so…” Yu Wenxi seemed to relax all of a sudden, and even had a bit of smugness, “But that's normal. I'm a man after all, so it's normal for me to be a bit stronger than Miss He.”

Miao Feng rolled his eyes at Yu Wenxi from the side, wanting to say, “Everyone is a cultivator, what does strength have to do with gender? And didn't you feel that Brother Xu was being hesitant and trying to comfort you?”

But looking at Yu Wenxi's smug look, Miao Feng couldn't bring himself to say it.

The three of them talked and laughed along the way. After about an incense stick of time, they arrived at the location of the Dao Discussion Assembly.

The Dao Discussion Assembly was held on a small plain within the Heavenly Profound Gate.

When Xu Ming and his group arrived, the small plain was already filled with people, looking like a bustling market.

Everyone wore different styles of clothing, representing different sects and dynasties.

This plain was set up with many magic formations and barriers.

The magic formations and barriers divided the place into one battlefield after another, which could ensure that everyone's competition was not disturbed, and the cultivators outside could also see the battle situation inside.

If you wanted to spar with someone, you could just find an empty magic formation and go in.

In short, this small plain was very lively.

Xu Ming and the others landed on the plain. Shen Sheng had a very good sense of self-preservation, tightly grabbing Xu Ming's palm, afraid that she would get lost.

Xu Ming glanced at the rewards written on the bulletin board next to him—

[Five consecutive wins - Reward: 10 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones]

[Six consecutive wins - Reward: 20 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones]

[Seven consecutive wins - Reward: 30 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones]

[...]

[Ten consecutive wins - Reward: 1 High-Grade Spirit Stone]

[Accumulate ten wins - Reward: 50 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones]

[Accumulate twenty wins - Reward: 1 High-Grade Spirit Stone]

[The person with the most wins today - Reward: 10 High-Grade Spirit Stones]

In addition, there were some cross-border victory rewards, etc.

The rewards were varied. Although they weren't particularly outstanding, they definitely couldn't be considered shabby.

There was one advantage to doing this, which was that everyone was indeed discussing Dao and competing, and there was no need to fight to the death for heavy rewards, which would ruin the harmony.

However, Xu Ming discovered that some cultivators would place their own bets and then compete.

Fortunately, under the protection of these magic formations, if you suffered a fatal injury, you would be expelled by the magic formation, and there would be no danger to your life.

Just as Xu Ming was looking at the rewards above, the voices of cultivators came from around Xu Ming:

“Who is that woman? She's already on a fifteen-win streak, right?”
