I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

In the end, after they finished experimenting, Lu Xin took two Purple Crystal Star Pattern Fruits, intending to leave with Ji Yue.

“Master, I’m leaving,” Ji Yue said, feeling somewhat reluctant.

Li Wenshu pulled her over, smoothed her hair, and said with loving kindness, “Go on, you’re all grown up now. I’ll come to the Seven Luminaries Sect to see you when I have time in the future.”

With tears in her eyes, Ji Yue kowtowed three times to her before stepping onto the Wind Riding Boat and departing.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the horizon.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy to be leaving with me?” Lu Xin asked as he walked to the bow of the boat.

“Happy,” Ji Yue replied, turning her head away to wipe her tears.

“If you’re happy, why are you crying?”

“It’s nothing, I’m just so happy that I want to cry.”

Lu Xin smiled, pulled her into his arms, and gently patted her back. “You have me now.”

“Mm.”

Behind them, Yan Qinglu, who had just walked out of the cabin, saw this scene and felt a bit lost. “Is this your Dao companion?”

However, she quickly shook her head and thought to herself, “This is good too, so I can cultivate without distractions.”

Then, she silently returned to the cabin.

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. The Wind Riding Boat was very fast, and in a few more hours, they would be able to leave the State of Yan. However, it suddenly stopped.

“That was Yunshan Market just now. Ahead is the Evergreen Sect. It seems like I left there in the Foundation Establishment stage. More than forty years have passed in the blink of an eye, right?”

Ji Yue had gone to find Yan Qinglu, and Lu Xin stood alone at the bow of the boat.

Looking at the familiar scenery beneath his feet, waves of memories quickly surged up.

He had encountered a murder and treasure robbery as soon as he came out, and then obtained a first-order common spell encyclopedia. It seemed like he had even given a low-quality, mid-grade magical artifact the name 'Sky Splitting Axe'.

Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but smile.

Then, he thought of the morning he obtained the system. It seemed like someone had knocked on his door. He quickly remembered the name 'Yu Qiuju'.

“Since we’re here, let’s take a good look,”

Lu Xin sat at the bow of the boat, releasing his divine sense, comparing what he saw with his memories, wanting to know what had changed over the years.

Soon, his divine sense scanned a village, very close to the Evergreen Sect. It was a mortal village, with only a few cultivators at the second or third level of Qi training.

“Huh, could it be her?”

Because Lu Xin had focused on scanning those few cultivators, he quickly noticed a somewhat familiar figure.

After carefully identifying her, it was indeed Yu Qiuju, whom he had just thought of.

More than forty years had passed, and the other party was already an old woman, at the third level of Qi training. At this moment, she was holding a bamboo stick, chasing a child around the yard.

“You little rascal, stand still for grandma!”

“Nope, I won’t, you can’t catch me, can’t catch me…” the child shouted as he dodged.

Yu Qiuju was panting with exhaustion. “You little rascal, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’ll forget that your grandma is an immortal.”

As she spoke, she took out a rope, which, like a spiritual snake, instantly bound the child.

The child was instantly frightened and cried, “Ah, a snake, the snake is going to eat me, boo hoo…”

Yu Qiuju instantly felt sorry for him and quickly untied the rope, picked up the child, and coaxed him, “Baby, be good, Grandma was wrong. Look, this isn’t a snake, it’s a rope.”

Only then did the child stop crying, pouting, “It really is a rope, Grandma, why does this rope move on its own?”

Yu Qiuju instantly became proud. “I told you, Grandma is an immortal. Don’t even mention making the rope move, even this millstone, Grandma can easily lift.”

“Grandma is so amazing, Little Bao wants to be an immortal too.”

“Okay, okay, okay, when your spiritual root is detected in the future, you can become an immortal.”

“Ah, I still have to wait, I don’t want to, I want to be an immortal now.”

The child started crying again, and Yu Qiuju instantly became flustered, shouting towards the house, “Luo Feng, aren’t you going to come out and take care of your precious grandson?”

In the sky above, Lu Xin chuckled. At this moment, Ji Yue and Yan Qinglu suddenly walked out, and seeing his expression, they asked in puzzlement,

“What are you laughing at?”

Lu Xin turned his head and glanced at them, pointing down and saying, “The fake name you used in the secret realm last time was hers.”

“Yu Qiuju?”

Ji Yue had a good memory. She curiously scanned down with her divine sense and quickly saw an old couple coaxing a child. “Then the name Luo Feng that you used was that old man next to her?”

Lu Xin nodded.

“It seems they are your old friends. Aren’t you going down to see them?”

Lu Xin was stunned for a moment, then said, “It’s good to see them. Last time, we used their names to loot the secret realm. I wonder if it had any impact on them.”

Ji Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, “It was clearly you who looted the secret realm. I just wanted to go treasure hunting.”

Yan Qinglu listened to the two of them talking, feeling somewhat curious.

“Go and come back quickly,” Ji Yue said softly, pulling Yan Qinglu and walking back inside.

Lu Xin shook his head with a smile, flashed, and landed in the yard.

Yu Qiuju and Luo Feng were arguing.

“Look at you, you can’t even coax a child, you’re really useless.”

Luo Feng was unwilling to be outdone. “If you’re so useful, try coaxing him for me?”

Lu Xin coughed lightly, and only then did the two of them notice that there was an extra person in the yard. They quickly looked over.

“It’s you, Lu Xin?!”

Because Lu Xin’s appearance had basically not changed, and had instead become even younger, Yu Qiuju quickly recognized him. “Impossible, how come your appearance hasn’t changed after so many years?”

A look of astonishment appeared on her face. Back then, Lu Xin had suddenly disappeared, and she thought that he had discovered her meeting with someone else, couldn’t bear the blow, and so had quietly left.

Now, he suddenly reappeared, and his appearance hadn’t changed.

If it weren’t for seeing the shadow on the ground, she would have thought she had seen a ghost.

The expression on Luo Feng’s face next to her was about the same. Back then, as a handyman of the Evergreen Sect, he had seen Lu Xin a few times, so he naturally recognized him.

Lu Xin smiled and said, “I happened to be passing by and discovered old friends, so I came to see you.”

Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, not even noticing the crying of the child in their arms.

Luo Feng carefully asked, “Your realm must be very high now, right?”

After all, he had cultivated before, so he quickly reacted. If his appearance hadn’t changed for decades, it could only be because his cultivation was profound.

“Not bad.”

Lu Xin looked around the yard with his hands behind his back and asked, “Has anyone ever asked you about anything before?”

“Asked?”

The two of them were puzzled.

Lu Xin understood, but still threw out a storage bag, which contained a thousand low-grade spirit stones and some elixirs for the Qi training stage.

“Alright, I’ve already seen my old friends, and I should be leaving now.”

After he finished speaking, he directly disappeared from the spot.

The two of them held the storage bag in their hands, still somewhat stunned, until they were pulled back by the child’s crying, “Ghost, there’s a ghost.”

Yu Qiuju quickly coaxed him, then asked, “What realm do you think he is now?”

Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, “Disappearing in an instant, he should already be a Golden Core Ancestor, right?”

Lu Xin returned to the Wind Riding Boat, no longer lingering, and directly left the State of Yan. He probably wouldn’t be coming back for a long time.

Ji Yue walked out, “Did you see them?”

Lu Xin nodded. “Not only did I see them, but I also had some feelings.”

“What feelings?”

“Time passes easily, people easily turn gray.”

“What do you mean?” Ji Yue asked, puzzled.

“It means that if you don’t work hard at cultivation, you’ll become an old woman.”

“What? You bastard, I’ll strangle you!”
