As soon as Zhao Min heard the questioning words, Li Yan's body was shaken.

"Oh, oh oh... no... no, I thought you wouldn't hold a wedding ceremony until after you have a baby..."

"Then when you get back soon, go and tell your mother and the others in person. She will definitely be very happy!"

Zhao Min has been out of seclusion for so many years and has never gone to see Li Yan because he was afraid of disturbing Li Yan's practice. However, every time he saw Zhao Zhi's forced smile, Zhao Min felt tight in his heart.

She knew that Zhao Zhi felt that he would never be able to accompany his husband and daughter on their journey to immortality. She was already a little disheartened, but she didn't want to make herself sad.

But this is also the tragedy of immortal cultivators. Unlike ordinary people, they know that their life span is only a hundred years without disaster.

In the following years, as I grew up, I began to witness the people around me leaving one by one.

Although I cannot accept this reality in my heart, I am unable to change anything until one day I die and end the reincarnation of this life.

However, immortal cultivators know the approximate lifespan of each realm and need to constantly pursue breakthroughs.

When one day I find that I can no longer cross the peak, the sadness in my heart that I feel waiting for death cannot be described in words.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of immortals, the longer the retreat time will be. Dozens and hundreds of years are sometimes just a snap of the fingers. A seemingly long life span cannot withstand several meditation practices.

When I came out of seclusion again, everything had changed, and a lot of life had passed away without even realizing it.

When he saw his mother again today, the look in Zhao Zhi's eyes became softer and softer, and Zhao Min could understand the meaning in his mother's eyes.

That is the attachment to family, that is the companionship and cherishment of oneself for more than a hundred years!

Once Zhao Min successfully conceives a baby in the future, her life span will be even longer, and Zhao Zhi will no longer be able to see all this, and will no longer be able to whisper long words to his daughter.

This made Zhao Min even see the feeling of sunset in Zhao Zhi's eyes, which was definitely no longer what her mother should be like before.

After thinking about it in a circle, she finally made a decision... and sent a message to Li Yan!

It’s not that the path to immortality is ruthless, but that the path to immortality is too long. The stones of emotion cannot pave the path to immortality. The long companionship of the sun and the moon can only leave a lonely road ahead!

…………

Wei Zhongran and his wife sat back in the courtyard again, and they talked in a low voice. Occasionally, a trace of regret flashed through Wei Zhongran's eyes.

Since Zhao Zhi's breakthrough failed, she would often sit quietly in the courtyard alone, seemingly closing her eyes and regulating her breath, but she did not enter into cultivation.

Just sit quietly like that, letting time pass by her...

Wei Zhongran saw it and felt sorry for him. Although he tried to enlighten him, it had little effect.

In addition, as the ancestor of Yuanying, in addition to handling some necessary sect affairs, cultivation is also indispensable. Even just one breath adjustment meditation may last for months or years.

As a result, Zhao Zhi spent more and more time alone, sitting alone with no joy or sadness on his face.

Only when Zhao Min and Wei Zhongran are with each other, Zhao Zhi will smile, and his beautiful eyes will stay on them, as if they have stayed in the world forever.

"This is a five-thousand-year-old 'Yinglongmu' root. It is the main material for refining the 'Mingxian Powder'. I have also collected the other auxiliary materials. I will start the official alchemy process tomorrow.

It can take as long as seven or eight years, or as short as a year to refine a 'Ming Xian Powder'.

By then, you will go into retreat again after taking this elixir. Judging from your situation last time, you should be just one step away from enlightenment, and the great road is just around the corner!"

Wei Zhongran held a section of Qiujiu root that was more than seven inches long in his hand and said to Zhao Zhi, who was sitting on the other side of the stone table.

Zhao Zhi looked at the roots in Wei Zhongran's hand that were glowing with green aura, occasionally like a spiritual snake.

Being carried by the aura, it swayed slightly.

Then, she raised her head and looked at the fat young man with a smile in her eyes.

"It's not necessary. I think that glimpse of insight must be some kind of chance. 'Mingxian Powder' can only deepen my understanding of the rules of the wood attribute. Somehow, I feel that this is not the direction!"

Then, she shook her head slightly and sighed in her heart.

"Why waste this 'Yinglong tree' anymore!"

She knew how precious the five-thousand-year-old "Yinglong Wood" was. Even with Wei Zhongran's net worth, buying this medicinal herb would have cost him half of his net worth.

It is rare for this kind of thing to appear in the world, but it can be encountered without asking for it. I don't know how much effort Wei Zhongran spent in order to obtain this material.

The most critical thing is that although Wei Zhongran is also proficient in alchemy, he only collected one set of alchemy materials, but he wanted to refine a sixth-grade elixir.

Even the original Master Da Cen did not dare to say that a sixth-grade elixir could be refined with just one raw material. There was a 60-70% chance that it would fail once or twice.

What Wei Zhongran did was undoubtedly forcibly refining the elixir without sufficient preparation.

This will make the alchemist's mind unable to remain calm at all, and he will become more nervous and cautious, which will easily lead to the failure of alchemy.

Zhao Zhi didn't want to waste the precious "Yinglong Wood" like this. She had to know that she was mainly based on the wood spirit root, but Wei Zhongran also had the wood spirit root attribute.

A sixth-grade "Mingxian Powder" will also play an important role in Wei Zhongran's future advancement.

After Wei Zhongran heard this, he smiled slightly.

"I am a Nascent Soul cultivator. I am much better than you in terms of knowledge and understanding when I was in the False Infant Realm. I can see things that you cannot see.

All you need to do is follow my arrangements, and by then you should be 40% sure that you will be able to find a breakthrough opportunity, but I can guarantee this!"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhi did not continue talking and looked away. Wei Zhongran felt helpless in his heart.

Zhao Min's character is inherited from Zhao Zhi. He insists on certain things. To put it bluntly, he is a bit stubborn, but he will not argue with you, leaving you unable to persuade him.

"In the past few years that I have been refining alchemy, you must not relax your practice, lest when I come out, the insights you have retained before will disappear with the flow of water. Then there is really no way. Remember, remember!"

Wei Zhongran could only continue to explain, but what he said did make sense.

Penance not only improves mana, but is also a process of sharpening one's mental state, allowing monks to maintain a peak state in all aspects.

At the same time, Wei Zhongran also hopes that Zhao Zhi will maintain a heart of never giving up, so that these years of seclusion and hard training will be worthwhile.

If he continues to practice hard, it is not certain that Zhao Zhi will face a catastrophe before he succeeds in refining the elixir.

Zhao Zhi also knew her husband's temperament. He seemed gentle and easy to talk to, but his mind was extremely tough, so even her attempts to persuade him were useless. It was also difficult for him to give up the idea of ​​refining alchemy.

"Just practice it, maybe it can really be refined. I will just stop taking it and leave it for him to use when he advances in the future!"

She thought this in her heart, and both of them were thinking about their own thoughts.

At this moment, Wei Zhongran raised his head in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Zhi saw Wei Zhongran's expression and asked doubtfully.

"Why are Min'er and the others back?"

Wei Zhongran also looked at the courtyard in confusion.

Door direction.

In the past, every time Zhao Min and Li Yan would go out after talking to them, they would almost never come back.

"oh?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhi also had a surprised look on his face.

Wei Zhongran waved his sleeves gently, and the courtyard door was opened, with two figures standing side by side at the door.

"Master, Senior Sister, I want to become a Taoist couple with Senior Sister!"

Li Yan, who was standing at the door, bowed deeply. As soon as his words came out, the expressions on the faces of Wei Zhongran and his wife were obviously stunned.

Immediately, the two of them looked at Zhao Min, who was standing next to Li Yan. His skin was rosy, but his face was flushed, and he pretended to be calm.

Zhao Min also held her head slightly, and said a rare shy "Hmm".

This time, Zhao Zhi's reaction was faster than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Really? OK, OK... OK!!"

She stood up suddenly, a long-lost smile from the heart suddenly bloomed on her face, but in the end, she only kept one word in her mouth...

Li Wuyi ended his retreat, but was forced into his retreat by a transmission note, and he woke up immediately.

Li Wuyi was startled when he saw a transmission talisman forcibly entering his retreat place. He had given this to Miao Wangqing, but he had warned it not to be used unless it was important.

After he hurriedly immersed his consciousness in the transmission notes and took a few breaths, a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

"Hahaha……"

Li Wuyi's wanton laughter came from the training room!

…………

In the main hall of Xiaozhu Peak, when Wei Zhongran and Li Yan appeared, Li Wuyi hurriedly greeted them.

"Disciple has met Master, Master! Junior brother, you are finally out of seclusion! Hahaha..."

At this time, there were six people in the main hall, three men and three women. In addition to Li Wuyi, Li Changting, and Miao Wangqing, there was also Yunchun Qu who had not been seen for decades, and then there was a young man and woman standing with their hands down.

The man has a handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and a modest air; the woman is charming, with a voluptuous and plump figure and dazzling muscles.

When Li Yan entered the main hall, he took a quick glance and found that Li Wuyi had already reached the fake infant state. Although he had not reached the peak, he was not far away.

And the third senior brother Yun Chun has also reached the middle stage of Jindan cultivation. His aura is very long. At first glance, he is not as simple as an ordinary middle stage Jindan monk.

"I've met Master, Master Wife!"

"I've met Uncle Wei!"
