Mortal's journey to immortality

"Ding!"

Wang Lu, Li Jie and Yu Ningzhi drank the full cup in one gulp, feeling indescribably happy.

The table was filled with delicacies from land and sea cooked by Yu Ningzhi herself, emitting a rich aroma that whetted Wang and Li's appetites. They ate with great praise and devoured the food.

Gu Xing and Zhou Xue were very clever. It was not their turn to join in the reminiscing of the three elders. Suddenly, an idea struck Gu Xing, and he took the opportunity to take Zhou Xue to find a comfortable cave for her.

The three of them were in high spirits, toasting each other with cups. They first drank from the wine glasses, but when they felt unsatisfied, they drank from the jade bowls. Still not satisfied, they simply picked up the bottles and drank it all.

Yu Ningzhi is as brave as any man and is full of passion. She drinks with Wang Lu and Li Jie with lofty ambitions and aspirations.

As always, Li Jie was the first to fall. Well, this time he managed to hold on a little better and lasted for two hours before collapsing on the table, unconscious.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lu and Yu Ningzhi opened and closed their mouths, holding the jar of wine like cows drinking water, and they were having a lot of fun.

Two hours later, when Wang Lu was a little dizzy and confused, the female wine goddess Yu Ningzhi returned to the cave with a red face, just like last time, and disappeared in a flash.

Only Wang Lu was left, who was in a daze and unaware of the bright moon. He gulped down the last bottle of wine and fell to the ground with a loud plop, drunk and unconscious.

With a light "crack" sound, the sunlight tore through the darkness and spread across the sky and earth. Wang Lu and Li Jie's magic power was shaken and they woke up almost at the same time. Looking at the mess on the ground, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Wang Lu waved his sleeves, and the whole room was clean, without any leftovers or mess.

The two sat down separately and chatted about what had happened and what they had experienced over the past 700 years since they last saw each other.

Soon, Yu Ningzhi, dressed in snow-white clothes, came and joined the two of them.

The three of them talked for ten days and ten nights, but they still seemed to be unsatisfied and had countless words left unsaid.

It is true, just like meeting friends after a long separation. Before the meeting, many words are sketched in the mind. However, when they meet and sit down, those words in the heart disappear without a trace, and everything is said freely and at will. Often, before the current thing is finished, a few words will be connected to another thing.

For Wang Lu, it can be said that the first person he met when he came to the South China Sea with Huohai Zhuzhu was Li Jie and his wife.

At this point, they fought side by side, lived and died together, and forged a deep and time-tested friendship.

As for Li Jie and Yu Ningzhi, when they were hunted by the Liu family and had nowhere to go, Wang Luru, the Bodhisattva Guanyin, came down from the sky to save them. The three of them worked together and stayed together through life and death, which is why today even Tianhaimen has to give them some face, and the powerful Nanhai League and Sanye Sword Sect have regained their glory.

Without Wang Lu, let alone breaking through the barrier of transformation, even the pursuit of the Killer Hall would be difficult to deal with.

The three of them got along just like a family and settled the important matters of the South Sea Alliance and the Sanye Sword Sect one by one.

Yu Ningzhi teased, "When can I let Senior Sister meet my beautiful sister Ya'er?"

When Wang Lu heard the name Chen Yaer, his old face turned red, causing the two of them to laugh continuously.

Although all the news about him was erased from Yinluanxuan's mind, his marriage was still a big event in Ximo. Besides, Yinluanxuan was not the only one dominating the world of immortal cultivation. There were still many forces and individuals who made a living by selling information. Those who were interested could always find some information about him.

Although they were separated by a long distance that could not be counted in miles, their concern for him was everywhere and at all times.

Wang Lu was moved and said: "Let's not talk about the final battle with Huang Yan. Even if we defeat this contemporary hero, if we want to go further, we have to break through the ultimate gate of heaven and earth. Seeking to ascend to the upper realm is the only way out."

"Now, Junior Brother, I have reached a relatively high position, but the road to advancement is like a death warrant that reminds me all the time."

Li Jie patted him on the shoulder and said, "After entering the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, the development of both the South Sea Alliance and the Three Leaf Sword Sect has entered a relatively stable period. I have been thinking about this issue from time to time. Although I have been hunted for hundreds of years, I have achieved this level of cultivation at this age. I am not much behind others, and I still have enough lifespan. All this is thanks to my junior brother."

Wang Lu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Brother is naturally gifted and has a broad mind. Even in exile, he is unyielding and tenacious, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, fearless of difficulties and obstacles. Once he escapes from the barriers, he can be said to be a tiger roaring in the mountains and a dragon soaring into the sky, unstoppable. I just helped him get rid of a few flies. Everything today is probably due to his persistence as always."

He continued, "What I admire and respect the most is that you have always been there for me. Without going through hardships, how can we see the rainbow? Without going through hardships, how can we forge true love?"

Yu Ningzhi's eyes turned red when she heard this. Wang Lu's words seemed to be just a few, but those few words represented hundreds of years of mutual support and dependence on each other through life and death. The separation of life and death, whenever she thought about it, it seemed like yesterday. It was heartbreaking, yet so precious and hard to come by.

Only those who have experienced it can understand the true love and the greatest affection therein.

Li Jie also held his wife's hand and was unwilling to let go.

With such love, what else could I ask for!

Next, regarding the affairs of the upper realm, Wang Lu made a rough guess based on his own experiences.

In his opinion, ascending to the upper realm is very possible, but he has to make full preparations, otherwise he will fail and end up in ashes.

He said that one must first take that half step in cultivation and become one of the most outstanding people in the world before there is hope of ascending.

As for where it came from, even he couldn't tell exactly, let alone talk about it.

However, his certainty gave Li Jie and Yu Ningzhi great hope.

Because no one could say it as decisively as he did.

It is like a bright light in the fog. With guidance, one can practice with purpose, direction, spirit and hope, instead of practicing blindly according to the nature of cultivation.

Ah.

Seeing that they were in high spirits, Wang Lu realized that his goal had been achieved.

As the South Sea Alliance and the Three-Leaf Sword Sect continued to grow stronger, the issue of the spiritual veins had indeed become a difficult problem that needed to be solved urgently.

Li Jie and his wife had thought of this as early as when they achieved the state of incarnation, but since it was a foregone conclusion that there would be no major changes on the South China Sea continent, and it was of no importance for them to seize some small and medium-sized spiritual veins, they did not take any action.

However, they did not do nothing. The South China Sea where they were located was a huge and inexhaustible treasure.

The South China Sea Alliance and the Three-Leaf Sword Sect went out to sea, covering the entire two million miles of ocean with Fangzhu Island as the core, and found several large and small islands that were either spiritual veins or various spiritual mines. If the South China Sea was not unpredictable, they would not have let go of even the seabed.

But it is just enough. If the South Sea Alliance and the Three Leaf Sword Sect want to become large sects, they must have large spiritual veins.

Hey, I finally waited for the return of my junior brother, the leader of the group who doesn't care about anything. No matter what, I have to make him bring one back.
