Chapter 327: Love
"Xiao Qian, I drove your brother away. You won't blame me, right?" Nangong Yan teased her when she saw her disciple looking at Liu Xing lovingly.
"Master~" Nie Xiaoqian saw her master making fun of her, but she refused to listen. She hugged her master's arm and shook it, her face flushed with shame.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore." Seeing that her disciple was shy, Nangong Yan let her go.
In the following period of time, Liu Xing took Nie Xiaoqian to travel around the scenic spots of Qianji Sect. They fell in love with each other and soon established a romantic relationship.
Late at night, the two camped by a secluded pond. Xiaoqian snuggled in Liu Xing's arms, looking up at the starry sky, feeling sweet and happy.
Liu Xing hugged his lover's slender waist, looked at her delicate face with a smile, smelled the fragrance of virginity, and felt a surge of excitement.
"Brother Liu, look, a shooting star!" Xiao Qian suddenly cheered, called out to Liu Xing, and immediately closed her eyes and put her hands together to pray.
Liu Xing reluctantly moved his gaze from Xiaoqian's face to the sky, just in time to see a comet passing through the sky, peaceful and beautiful.
"What wish did Xiaoqian make?" Liu Xing asked gently. Both of them were masters who had achieved great success in cultivation and were fighting for their lives against the heavens. At this time, Xiaoqian was actually praying like an ordinary person. Liu Xing was very curious.
"I hope we can live forever and live together!" Nie Xiaoqian said piously.
"Will you marry me?" Liu Xing asked, staring into Xiaoqian's eyes.
"I do." Xiaoqian replied firmly.
"I love you!" Liu Xing hugged her tightly in his arms and expressed his love emotionally.
"I love you too!" Xiaoqian also hugged her beloved lover tightly and responded to his passionate kiss.
Liu Xing discovered that he had trouble controlling his emotions. He'd read so many books, and they all said that cultivators must be pure and free from desires in order to focus on their work and make progress. Therefore, the vast majority of cultivators lived solitary lives, like Nie Xiaoqian's master and sister, and the ten elders of the Qianji Sect were all solitary.
Indeed, if you stay away from the worldly affairs, you will not be affected by cause and effect and will not have any inner demons.
However, Liu Xing has his own understanding. He feels that doing whatever one wants is more in line with the Tao, and that one can cultivate one's mind while in the world.
Therefore, whether it is his first love Dongfang Qian, his lover Su Yingying, or Nie Xiaoqian, whom he now wants to marry, he cherishes every relationship and has a clear conscience.
However, others don't see it that way.
"Qian'er, although Liu Xing is a good person, he is not as important as the Great Dao. You must not fall in love with him and delay your cultivation." Nangong Yan saw that the first disciple she had taken in was spending every day with Liu Xing, so she advised her.
Nangong Yan was a dedicated cultivator. Female cultivators were already at a disadvantage in the world of immortal cultivation, where the strong prey on the weak. Advancing to the Nascent Soul stage was even rarer, and she had made immense sacrifices to achieve her current success. Therefore, she placed high hopes on her disciples and couldn't help but offer them earnest admonitions.
"I will follow Master's teachings and practice diligently." Nie Xiaoqian agreed obediently.
But in reality, the young girl, who was just beginning to fall in love, was so deeply in love that she would sneak out to meet her lover if her master wasn't paying attention.
Time always flies when you are with the one you love.
A year later, Liu Xing met the medicine delivery person sent by the Queen of Dragons in Haibin City. It turned out to be his old acquaintance Lan Jiao.
"Brother Liu, thank you for not killing me last time. These are the supplies the Queen asked me to deliver. The Queen thanked you for taking care of the princess over the years, so these supplies are half-sold and half-given away. You only need to pay 10 million spirit stones."
"Thank you so much, Queen. Brother Lan Jiao, thank you too." Liu Xing accepted the storage bag from Lan Jiao. The bag was sealed with a restriction, and a quick scan of it with his spiritual sense revealed that it was a restriction personally placed by the Queen, and that it could not be opened by anyone below the Nascent Soul stage. Clearly, Lan Jiao had no idea how much supplies were inside. Liu Xing ignored Lan Jiao's curious gaze and calmly put the bag away. He then took out the spirit stones he had prepared and handed them to Lan Jiao.
"Brother Lan Jiao, thank you for coming all the way here to deliver the supplies. I have a bottle of Qi Ling Dan here, and I'll give it to you." Qi Ling Dan was an elixir he had refined earlier. It helps to awaken the intelligence of monsters and is of great value to the monster clan.
"Brother Liu is so polite that I would be grateful to you for giving me this gift." For people at their level, although the Qi Ling Pill is precious, it is not a rare treasure and is mostly given to the younger generation.
Then the two chatted for a while and learned that Jiao Jiao had entered the Hualong Pool for retreat, so Liu Xing left with peace of mind.
Fifty years have passed since Liu Xing became the candidate for the head, and the Elders' Council has been convened once again.
Liu Xing had flourished over the past fifty years, completely eclipsing his rivals, Zhong Yueqiu and Pei Xiu. The vast majority of his fellow Jindan disciples had benefited from Liu Xing's help to varying degrees, and therefore supported him. The sect's earnings from the Qianji Bank had multiplied several times over over the past few decades, placing it firmly among the top ten sects in terms of financial strength. Liu Xing had also completed several sect missions with impeccable success, particularly his solo mission to persuade the demons to retreat during the defense of Haibin City, which brought his reputation to its peak.
There is no doubt that Liu Xing was unanimously approved by the Elders Council to become the next leader, and the succession ceremony will be held in one month.
After the meeting, Master Elder Su gave Liu Xing some private admonitions, affirming his achievements, but also reminding him not to be blinded by the worldly affairs and delay his cultivation.
"Xing'er, Master's time is approaching. He will pass away in ten years at the most. You must remember not to let pride and complacency interfere with your cultivation." Although Elder Su has profound magical powers, his vitality has obviously been lost, making him look even more frail and old.
"Master, I don't want you to leave. Do you need any elixir or martial arts? I will go through fire and water to find it for you!" Liu Xing burst into tears. Elder Su was very good to him, and he recognized his master from the bottom of his heart.
When he heard that his master was about to pass away, he became panicked.
"Haha, the Tao is ruthless. If you can't break through your realm, the only way is to sit and become an immortal. Disciple, there is no need to be sad. Just work hard to improve yourself and strive to go further than the master." Elder Su seemed to have long been indifferent to life and death. At this moment, he was calm and there was no ripple.
Liu Xing cried even harder, feeling suffocated by a sense of powerlessness. He had witnessed the death of his loved ones and relatives many times, yet he was powerless to do anything. He felt extremely tormented and hated the constraints of heaven.
"Okay, stop crying. You are also the head of a sect, so be careful with your manners. In the future, please come to my cave more often. I will teach you everything I have learned in my life. You must practice hard and don't let down the reputation of your teacher."
"Master, here are all my collections. See if they can help you." Liu Xing hurriedly poured out all the supplies from his storage bag, clearly still thinking about how to help his master live longer. With the help of the Dragon Queen, his collection was extremely rich, and with these supplies, he could raise his cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of the Core Formation Realm.
