Mortal practice

In an unremarkable thatched hut somewhere on Lingxia Peak, an ordinary-looking old man was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, with a golden fruit floating in front of him.

"It's over?" A voice rang in his ears, the old man opened his eyes, and the fruit fell into his hands in response.

"You old woman, why do you always interrupt me at critical moments..." He complained in a low voice.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, I'll just go." The person who came heard it clearly, snorted coldly, turned around and made a gesture to leave, but was quickly stopped by the old man.

"Don't let me be wrong, you are asking about that young man? It's over, and it's about time to wake up now." He said.

The man didn't intend to really leave at all, but he stopped when he heard this, and looked back at the old man. He had a bright and charming face, and he was actually a graceful beauty.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"The next step is none of my business. The choice is his own to make, and the consequences will naturally be borne by him. I'm just a guide." The old man lazily leaned on the back of the bed, and stood in front of the woman. He didn't have the slightest sense of majesty in front of Su Jue before.

The woman groaned, she wanted to ask something, but she didn't speak anymore when she saw the old man's expression.

"It's you, with thousands of years of experience, who else do you want to show to such a provocative appearance?" The old man gave the woman a leering look.

"With this level of cultivation, you are not allowed to use spells to become beautiful?" The woman was very dissatisfied: "Or become an old man and old woman like you?"

The old man rubbed his nose and said, "Isn't the old man good? The old man is very virtuous..."

"You don't know how many good women you have deceived with your handsome face. Now that you have become famous, you have retired to the mountains. Naturally, you don't care about your appearance. As a woman, I care a lot... But you still have to let him stand outside and wait." how long?"

"Distressed? It's only been a few days." The old man muttered, but he opened the door anyway.

The one standing outside the door was Su Jue. After seeing the two of them, he bowed respectfully and said, "Seniors, thank you for your help a while ago, this junior came to ask for his resignation."

"Are you going to leave just after waking up?" the woman asked.

Su Jue said: "The junior still has important matters to deal with, so I can only be rude."

"Have you figured it out?" the old man asked suddenly, with a serious tone.Su Jue's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't know if he understood the meaning of the other party's words, so he only bowed and bowed as his acquiescence.

After leaving Lingxia Peak, Su Jue summoned the white gazelle. This crane was the same as in the illusion. It was described as elegant and arrogant. Su Jue's memory had not yet fully recovered, and he couldn't remember whether he had let Su Bai ride the crane with him, but The white antelope must have remembered it all.

Glancing at the unfamiliar yet familiar mount in front of him, Su Jue did not rush to get on it, but suddenly asked, "Do you know where Su Bai is?"

He didn't expect the other party to know this kind of thing. After all, even if the illusion was real, the other party probably didn't know much more than himself, but asking this way could at least confirm some things that he couldn't know right now.

The white antelope has always been quite spiritual, so it naturally knew what Su Jue was asking at this moment, so it raised its neck and let out a cry, expressing its ignorance.

Do you really remember?

"He used to sit on your back?" Bai Ling froze for a moment, turned his head slightly and did not make a sound. It seemed that the past seemed a bit unbearable. Su Jue slightly twitched his mouth and sat on it. Bai Ling made a questioning question. The cry seemed to be going nowhere, and Su Jue's smile was fleeting. He glanced at the place with the most aura in Luoyun, and said softly, "The Liang family."

At this time, Su Jue was still the proud son of heaven, a genius among the younger generation of the Su family.He has not yet rescued Xuehu after the members of the Su family sent Xuehu to the Liang family, nor has he seriously injured Liang Yuandao, and any irreversible mistakes in the eyes of others have never been made in the real world.

In other words, nowadays, some people are afraid that they are still alive and well.

A stern look flashed across Su Jue's eyes, but in the next moment his consciousness touched a familiar aura in front of him, so he quickly restrained everything.

"Su Jue?"

"Senior." Su Jue saluted.

The other party squinted his eyes and looked Su Jue up and down for a moment: "Did you go to Lingxia Peak?"

"Fortunately, I was instructed by the Huashen expert." Su Jue did not hide it.

"Okay." The other party raised his eyebrows: "You really deserve to be a genius of our clan, and your luck is not inferior to your talent."

Su Jue rarely communicates with the other party in the clan, and at this moment he can't tell whether the other party's intention is good or bad, and he doesn't bother to care about it.He just wanted to get out of this difficult situation in front of him as soon as possible.

"Senior's reputation." Originally thinking that the other party didn't want to waste too much time here, Su Jue was about to resign, but he heard the senior of the Su family ask again: "What can I gain?"

"The junior still needs some time to go into details." Su Jue had no choice but to answer.

"So it's gone?" There was a hint of mockery in the other party's tone.

Whether there is any gain can be seen from the cultivation level, the other party clearly sees that Su Jue has not turned into a god, so he deliberately asked this question.

Su Jue remembered that the other party's son had challenged him in a family competition two years ago. He did not give in at all and quickly defeated the other party. It made the person in front of him lose face at the time. It is normal for the other party to be bitter, but it is inevitable Lost the atmosphere of a big family.

To the other party's meaningful words, Su Jue didn't refute much, the man just took him as acquiescing, and didn't make any more troubles, snorted lightly from his nose, and then opened his mouth to talk about another topic.

"Your mother left the customs a few days ago and was going to call you back yesterday. I was about to go back to Su's house, so I just happened to drop by." The other party pointed to Nan Mian with his eyes, thinking that Su Jue was planning to go back to Su's house, he suggested.

Su made up his mind and frowned slightly. These words really gave him no reason to refuse, especially the previous sentence.

My mother has been in seclusion for several years. She thought it would take a few more years before she could leave the seclusion, but unexpectedly it was earlier?

------

The Su family was silent as usual today. All the monks living within the Su family were busy with their own cultivation, or trying to figure out the way to break through, so they didn't have the heart to say much.

After Su Jue returned to Su's house quickly, he went straight to his mother's residence to pay his respects. Not long after entering the house, he saw Su's mother sitting in the pavilion with an expressionless face, quietly drinking tea.

"Congratulations to mother's promotion." Su Jue saw that the other party had stepped into the peak of Nascent Soul, so he respectfully saluted.

Yan Qiu only glanced at him, then turned around to drink tea again, and after a while he said, "I heard that you have to meet Master Lingxia?"

Su Jue was slightly surprised that the news spread so quickly, but he still said yes.

Yan Qiu said: "You have better luck than me and your father."

Su Jue originally thought that the other party would ask him if he had gained anything in the next sentence like the previous elder, but after Yan Qiu said this sentence similar to emotion, he returned to silence.

The other party didn't ask him to leave, so Su Jue couldn't resign hastily, knowing that the other party might have something to explain, so he stood still and waited for the other party to speak.

"Do you remember the head of the Gu family who visited here when you were young?"

Su Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed his head and said respectfully, "I remember."

"Their Gu family is now making a fortune. It is rumored that it is thanks to a secret book. The elders of their clan in the previous generation accidentally rescued Xuan Ye's child. The other party gave this secret book as compensation and allowed it to be passed on to their clansmen."

Su made up his mind to guess something vaguely, his eyes flickered slightly, and asked, "Why does mother know so clearly?"

"Yesterday, the Patriarch of the Gu family came to visit again and mentioned this matter to your father. He intends to betroth his young daughter to you, and promises that if you marry the daughter of the Gu family, that treasure book will be taught to you." Yan Qiu put down the teacup: "This is actually a good thing. The Gu family has also made a fortune now. They just need to strengthen their relationship with the Su family who has a good personal relationship and is top-notch. And you, marrying the youngest daughter of the Gu family, can learn the content of the secret book openly, and the chance of becoming a god It will be much higher."

She saw that Su Jue returned from traveling for several years, and now his cultivation level is still lagging, and she began to worry about it. She was afraid that although Su Jue had met the God Transformation Master during this trip, he would not gain much.But she wasn't surprised either. After all, the matter of becoming a god was not just for fun. If the other party really made a breakthrough in this trip, she would be surprised.

After listening to the other party's words in silence, Su Jue had already guessed the purpose of the other party calling him back.

The other party was familiar with Su Jue's character, and believed that he was rational enough to judge the benefits of marriage in this matter, and would not reject such an arrangement from the family.

After all, for Su Jue, cultivation is undoubtedly the first priority.

But that was also Su Jue in the past.

In Su Jue's eyes, many things are very simple, just like, cultivation base was the most important to him in the past, but cultivation base is not the most important to him now.It's just a matter of balancing.

Su Jue suddenly remembered that before experiencing those unimaginable worlds, the senior Huashen once asked him why he cultivated and what he wanted, but he couldn't answer at all.

But now, those things that were not worth mentioning in his eyes, which were purely tasteless, have become more important than cultivation.

He had already foreseen the look on his father and mother's face after he said something, and the judgment the family would make, but Su Jue never took these things to heart.Not in the past, nor in the future.

What he wants is up to him to decide.

"Mother, please help me to refuse." Su Jue said with a calm expression, as if his answer was a matter of course.

Yan Qiu frowned slightly, and looked at him sideways: "Why?"

Su Jue said: "Su Jue has no plan to marry the daughter of the Gu family, nor is he interested in secret books."

Yan Qiu was silent for a moment, his eyes suddenly turned sharp when looking at Su Jue, and his tone was a bit strange: "This is not like what you said."

Su was absolutely unmoved, and bowed his head in silence.

"Su Jue, you seem to be different?" The mother stood up from the chair, squinted her eyes and looked at him with a trace of coldness in her eyes: "Is there a trace of humanity in your body?"

"You have been away for the past few years, what kind of crooked ways have you been involved in?" Yan Qiu said: "It doesn't matter if your cultivation base has not progressed, but now you are living and going back?"

"I haven't been exposed to any crooked ways, but I just remembered something." Su definitely didn't intend to hide it.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze for a few seconds after these words were spoken.

"Oh? I remembered it, so I'm emotional?" After a while, Yan Qiu sneered: "Then what are you going to do? Go to the Liang family? Do you remember the Su family's family rules? I thought you didn't experience too much mundane world back then. Bewitched by the secular world, and succeeded in transforming essence, so I didn't send you off, but now you are going to intensify?"

Su Jue said: "I remember the family rules. I don't intend to avoid them either."

"Have you thought about the consequences of losing the protection of the Su family?" Yan Qiu said: "Don't think that I am your mother, and I will protect you or persuade others to help you. This is the last chance I will give you. "

"Thank you mother for reminding." Su Jue bowed and saluted, but his expression did not change at all, as if this was an innocuous treatment.

Yan Qiu looked at him blankly for three seconds, and then said: "Then you can get out. I will report the matter when the time comes. From then on, the Su family has nothing to do with you, and what the Su family has given you is the same." You are not allowed to take it away."

Su Jue bowed to resign, and after taking a few steps back politely, he turned and left, his back was as cold and aloof as ever.
