Chapter 375 - 308

For the time being, I’m not entertaining that idea.

I’ll consider it once I reach the Nascent Soul stage or higher!”

Luo Yaxuan’s tone was so resolute that, in the past, people would have thought he was delusional.

The highest level the ancestors of his family achieved was the Golden Core Stage.

Having lived to such an age without attaining the Nascent Soul, how could a young man like him who doesn’t even have a partner expect anything different?

Would he not end up with white hair without ever taking a wife?

However, since the appearance of the Supreme Elixirs, everyone began to harbor hope, and his family would not think so negatively about it anymore.

Luo Yaxuan having such a lofty aspiration, they naturally supported him.

Luo Yaxuan paused for a moment and then said, “Lai Jianlin has sent a message.

Saint Lord Jiang Tang has left behind Cultivation Techniques and Spells for the two of us to collect from his family.”

“Really?

That’s great, son, hurry on over!”

As Family Head Luo said this, he also felt a twinge of regret.

Why hadn’t he shamelessly asked Jiang Tang to leave behind some Cultivation Spells when he visited their family?

The Lai family evidently had thicker skins, especially those with the surname Lai.

Not only did Luo Sheng think this way, but so did everyone else dining there.

Even though they only thought it and didn’t say it out loud, they communicated through looks.

Luo Yaxuan nodded and left the dining hall, taking off into the sky from the family estate with a Flying Artifact.

The family’s Guardians had always been vigilant, observing every corner to prevent any offending incidents, so they naturally saw the Young Family Head soar into the sky.

Luo Yaxuan sped up, since the Luo Family was quite close to the Lai Family.

By the time he descended from the sky, he was right at the grand entrance of the Lai Family.

He informed the Guardians of the Lai Family and entered the place where Lai Jianlin resided.

The Guardians dared not stop him; they had seen Luo Yaxuan before.

It had been many years, back when Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan were young friends.

Luo Yaxuan directly entered the main house of the Lai family.

Lai Jianlin had a courtyard to himself and as a scion of the Luo Family, he could move unimpeded throughout.

Furthermore, many of the Lai family’s young ladies who saw Luo Yaxuan blushed and greeted him with respect.

The grand young master of the Luo Family was also a dashing and handsome man, akin to a splendid tree against the breeze, as elegant as could be.

Just like their own Young Family Head, he was an elite figure within the family.

Not comparable to a Monster like Jiang Tang, nor was he the Prince Charming of the young ladies in Immortal Lord City.

Today, with Jiang Tang’s presence at the Lai Family, those ladies with less capability could not withstand his aura and kept their distance.

A man of such high ability was beyond what they could handle.

Luo Yaxuan received much attention from the young ladies, but he did not recognize these young ladies from the Lai Family—perhaps he never paid them any mind in his younger years.

The young ladies of the Lai Family cast glances at Luo Yaxuan, with the blushing ones commonly considering themselves elites who had boldly returned after studying at other Sects.

This man was the Young Family Head Luo; a mere glance from Luo Yaxuan made them happy, but if they could strike it incredibly lucky and become his young wife, wouldn’t that be like turning from a wild pheasant to a phoenix?

Luo Yaxuan paid no mind to the gazes of others; at that moment, he was quickly arriving at Lai Jianlin’s courtyard.

He noticed that Lai Jianlin’s yard had maintained its old appearance for many years, signifying that Lai Jianlin didn’t particularly indulge in the enjoyment of gardening or the environment.

Luo Yaxuan arrived at the parlour and saw the person he was looking for, sitting there waiting for him.

“Brother Lai, thank you very much.”

Seeing Luo Yaxuan expressing his gratitude so politely, Lai Jianlin revealed a gentle smile.

“Do we brothers need to be so formal with each other?”

“Right, there’s no need for formality between us brothers.

Let’s cultivate together and improve our skills.”

“Luo Brother speaks truthfully.

We may not be able to compete with Jiang Tang or be inferior to the elites of the Top Ten Clans, but with these Secret Manuals, we can become stronger.

I have confidence in that,” Lai Jianlin said as he handed over a Jade Slip to Luo Yaxuan.

He had glanced at the Jade Slip while waiting for his arrival, realizing it indeed contained selective Cultivation Techniques and Spells not suited for everyone.

Taking the Jade Slip, Luo Yaxuan used his Divine Sense to scan through it and his face lit up with surprise.

He possessed the Twin Spirit Roots of wind and thunder.

The Cultivation Technique within the Jade Slip was perfect for his current level and higher abilities, and the Spells were absolutely suitable for immediate use.

After advancing his cultivation, he did not return to his sect and was unable to find more appropriate cultivation techniques and spells for himself.

The ones he practiced before were somewhat lower-level and not suitable for people above the Golden Core Stage.

Even if they could be used, their effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

“Hehe, they are just right for me.

I assume you’ve also acquired cultivation techniques and spells that suit you.

Once we’ve mastered them, how about we have a competition?”

Lai Jianlin interrupted Luo Yaxuan mid-sentence with a nod.

Indeed, he had acquired cultivation techniques and spells suitable for his Triple Spirit Roots of Metal, Earth, and Wood.

Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin were both at the initial stage of Golden Core cultivation, with the same level of cultivation but different Spiritual Roots, and therefore they studied different spells and cultivation techniques.

The friends from different families had always been rivals, compared by their parents since they were young.

In their hearts, neither would concede to the other, and even now they remained the same, with similar experiences and nearly identical access to resources.

They also shared similar luck, both obtaining Supreme Elixirs and quality cultivation techniques and spells.

They agreed that after they had fully mastered these cultivation techniques and spells, they would test their skills against each other.

Lai Jianlin agreed to the competition Luo Yaxuan proposed, and at that moment, the two didn’t choose to resolve things through combat.

Having not gathered together for a long time, they sat leisurely chatting, calling for snacks and then drinking tea and liquor together.

The two chatted about the north and south, discussing their experiences over the years.

Being disciples of different sects, of course, there were plenty of interesting stories.

They had never had such a leisurely time, chatting with a friend like this, and on this day, they chose the most relaxing way to be together.

When together, unlike other men who might talk about women, they didn’t mention women at all.

Perhaps both had the same thought; neither had made a special effort to get to know women in their sects.

It was only natural for them with such talent to have admirers, but they didn’t take it to heart at all.

Perhaps because of similar experiences, they both felt the responsibility of their families to become stronger before they could think of finding partners.

“Luo Yaxuan, do you plan to become a disciple in the Saint Sect established by Jiang Tang in the future?”

Luo Yaxuan nodded and said, “If we work hard, maybe entering the sect won’t mean starting as a lowly disciple.

I’m thinking about becoming an elder, considering we’ve already reached this level of cultivation.

Being a lower-level disciple wouldn’t be of any use.”

“Yes, your proposal is good.

Let’s master these cultivation techniques and spells so that when the Saint Sect is established, we can become certain elders and have a place within the sect.”

Lai Jianlin agreed with what Luo Yaxuan said, and the two discussed their respective shortcomings.

Even though the cultivation techniques and spells they practiced were different and they were not from the same sect, the ones they had used when they were both attacked had many flaws.

Lai Jianlin mentioned that he had consulted with Jiang Tang, who had helped him solve some difficult problems.

Hearing this, Luo Yaxuan shared that in his own cultivation, he had also encountered these challenges, like facing Dream Demons during meditation, and that every meditation brought such difficulties.

f their opponents managed to unravel the moves executed with their innate Spiritual Root spell, they might fall into trouble.

The two didn’t have other abilities, like Artifact Refining, Array Mastery, or Alchemy.

All they had was the cultivation of their Spiritual Roots, which seemed rather one-dimensional, and they felt ashamed for not being as diversified as others.

It seemed that they were the favored children of heaven, and quite famous in their sects, but that was just pride in their own fantasies.

In reality, in the presence of higher-level cultivators, they were nothing.

Their families had been settled here for millions of years without encountering a Great Power Holder, perhaps because others didn’t value their location.

Only Jiang Tang seemed to hold their families in high regard, and that was why these few families were willing to join and work for him.

When all was said and done, it came down to benefits.

As long as Jiang Tang offered them more, they were willing to pledge their services.
