[You have listened to the words of your grandfather, Xie Qiaoxuan, the helm of the Xie Family in Wutong Prefecture.]
[Please make your choice.]
Every choice represents a branching path in life.
And Xie Qiaoxuan's words.
Made Jixia ponder carefully before making a decision.
The Clan Leader of the Xie Family is right.
Staying on Yunluan Mountain, with no foundation and because of his identity, it would make him a target for many enemies.
Even if Song Brahman Mirror protects him, cultivation is ultimately a personal endeavor.
Golden Flesh and Jade Veins, Mercury Blood Silver Marrow, Water and Fire Immortal Robe, each requires persistent effort.
Without resource supply, even with extraordinary comprehension, it would take three to five years before stepping into 'Circulation Qi Collection'.
Perhaps to Jixia, who has been content with mediocrity for over a decade and only recently made progress, this situation is acceptable, and he can wait.
But in the Reincarnation Celestial Book.
As Song Chai Xin, with a fate fraught with difficulties, who knows how long he can live?
For Jixia, such a hard-earned opportunity is something he cannot give up!
He does not know if the blank second page of the 'Reincarnation Celestial Book' can be opened.
Grasping every opportunity within reach, making the best of it, a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.
So, he needs to continue using the identity of 'Song Chai Xin' to see clearly his cultivation path.
Even if the recollection of Martial Dao is blurred.
But the 'Golden Lock Jade Technique', a renowned secret technique connected to reality, just Xie Qiaoxuan's mention of 'pioneered by the Xie Family' has already greatly shaken Jixia's heart.
Xie!
The Xie Family in Wutong Prefecture, generations of prestige, over a hundred-year-old foundation, from Xie Qiaoxuan's tone, a renowned Great Cultivator who once 'turned white hair into black' emerged.
So what about Xie Wutong?
Is her 'Xie' related to the 'Xie' in his reincarnation?
[The Celestial Book's deduction manifests into reality.]
Recalling the beginning of the story, a line on the book's title page left a deep impression on Jixia.
Even though he hadn't deliberately thought in this direction before.
But in the current situation.
Jixia can't help but ponder deeply about it.
On one hand, he doesn't want to hold back Song Brahman Mirror on Yunluan Mountain.
On the other hand, what if everything in the Reincarnation Celestial Book can truly be traced?
So...
He wants to explore this answer.
[You swallow the Spirit Grade True Pill 'Snow Lotus Marrow Cleansing Pill' handed by Xie Qiaoxuan, and immediately, your skin becomes icy cold, a layer of shimmering snow light covers the wounded, scarred skin, slowly healing it...]
[As most of your injuries recover overnight, you feel energized. Sensing the cold aura hasn't dissipated completely, you then sit cross-legged, feeling the 'medicinal power' flowing through your meridians, then surging into your marrow, beginning to extend throughout your body.]
[At this moment, feeling divinely inspired, under Xie Qiaoxuan's observation, you gritted your teeth, operated the Golden Lock Jade Technique, guiding the medicinal power into your organs, while starting to channel the 'pure energy' between heaven and earth, mobilizing your blood energy, using the medicinal power to temper your marrow!]
[Muscle, bone, skin, qi, the four great barriers, muscle is the easiest to train. You consumed demon blood, ate meat daily, and practiced hard, achieving Golden Flesh and Jade Veins in three months, able to tear tigers and leopards barehanded.]
[However, starting from 'bone marrow', without external force, how could it be refined in a short time?]
[In three months, though you entered 'Mercury Blood Silver Marrow',]
[but compared to those with abundant blood energy, capable of combining steel-like strength, shooting a hundred-pound bow continuously without tiring, able to slaughter five people just beginning to mobilize blood energy, the gap is still quite large.]
[With Jiao Dragon Blood innate to you, at this moment swallowing an elixir to cleanse and refine your marrow, when the elixir activates the Jiao Dragon traits within your bone blood...]
[In an instant, your eyes turn red, fists clenched, you feel as though the dragon of your spine is rising inch by inch, the blood energy in your chest like mighty rivers, surging endlessly!]
[Mercury Blood Silver Marrow, normally requires multiple blood mobilization, refining to produce strength, tempering bone marrow to succeed, necessitates top-grade medicinal baths, but you have surpassed this barrier, saving a whole year of hard effort!]
[You activated your destiny: Jiao Dragon Blood!]
[As a Half-Demon, possessing the three-stage Jiao Demon Bloodline, using it to temper the three great barriers of muscle, bone, and skin, exceeds ordinary people several times, comparable to Top-Grade Martial Bone!]
Seeing the Half-Demon aura on you surge suddenly.
Xie Qiaoxuan was startled.
But then, instead of shock, he felt joy:
"A descendant of a Jiao Dragon, normally a Half-Demon only has mixed blood, never expected this kid to rely on himself, breaking through to 'Mercury Blood Silver Marrow', swallowing a Snow Lotus Marrow Cleansing Pill, leading to bloodline transformation, turning into True Flood Dragon Blood!"
"Then, seeing it this way, the threshold for the Water and Fire Immortal Robe won't hold him back for a year."
"And in nearly a year, during the 'Wutong Prefecture Examination', although compared to those government disciples practicing 'Circulation Qi Collection', this kid is lacking, but perhaps with good luck, he might win a 'top ten' position!"
"By that time, I will work things out for him, ensuring he establishes roots in this mansion's land, at worst, spending twenty to thirty years, he won't miss out on an external appointment as a Great Zhao Guardian at a city level!"
Silently calculating in his heart, Xie Qiaoxuan began to ponder, paving the way for Song Chai Xin.
Originally, he wanted to see this child out of sympathy for Xie Wei.
However, a person of value will be esteemed no matter where they are placed.
What of being a Half-Demon?
The Xie Family cares about its reputation.
Reaching perfection in the martial arts of a prestigious family, even realizing the essence of the technique, is not surprising because it's a necessary path to become a Great Cultivator.
But a Half-Demon who, in just three months, practices Tantai Yao's 'Meteor Chasing Moon Fist Scripture' and achieves perfection, mastering the essence and mood of the technique...
Xie Qiaoxuan has lived for so many years and has only seen one such case!
So upon reaching Yunluan Mountain and hearing this information, after confirming that this descendant was not a hoax.
Xie Qiaoxuan made his decision in an instant.
That is, he must bring this young man back to acknowledge his ancestry!
It can be predicted that if a hundred years later, Xie Qiaoxuan passes away.
This young man will be sufficient to support three generations of the Xie Family, ensuring the family's prosperity and prominence in the Prefecture City!
Watching Song Chai Xin, with surging energy and unable to resist practicing fist techniques, Xie Qiaoxuan couldn't help but smile while clapping:
"Good, good, good!"
"Come with me."
"Young man, I admit you have greater gifts."
"With my personal guidance, within five years, I guarantee you can catch up with those Celestial Prides and step into 'Great Innate'!"
[Xie Qiaoxuan's favorability towards you increases: from a casual Jianghu meeting to regretful late acquaintance!]
Seeing Xie Qiaoxuan's eager desire to bring him back to the Xie Family.
Song Chai Xin thought for a while:
"Please allow me to say goodbye first."
As Xie Qiaoxuan consented,
The young man quickly walked out and soon found Song Brahman Mirror standing in a pavilion, gazing at Yunluan Peak, lost in thought.
The woman turned her head upon hearing the sound, smiling:
"Here?"
Song Chai Xin also smiled:
"Senior Sister knew I was leaving?"
Seeing Song Brahman Mirror not upset but instead relieved as if a burden was lifted, the young man breathed a sigh of relief:
"I thought Senior Sister would be quite angry with me for going to the Xie Family."
The woman smoothed the hair at her temples and smiled gracefully:
"Three months prove I indeed cannot protect you."
"Since that's the case, I can't stop you from pursuing a better version of yourself, can I?"
"I saved you, but I'm not trying for your life."
Then, she waved her hand.
"I never said you'd be removed from 'Yunluan Mountain'."
"The next time we meet, I want to stand here dignifiedly, and if anyone dares look down on me, I'll give them a punch!"
Song Chai Xin's tone was defiant, looking back multiple times as he walked away, only setting his mind at ease upon seeing the woman truly composed before leaving quickly.
It was only after he had gone for a while.
That woman, whose delicate eyebrows were like paintings, looked into the distance absentmindedly, sighed and also walked away.
Except...
The stone table beneath her hand just now crumbled in an instant and was scattered by the wind like powder.
Cui Chan, who deliberately avoided meeting Song Chai Xin to avoid awkwardness when passing by,
Just arrived at the pavilion and saw the stone table crumbling, feeling unease difficult to alleviate.
And in a nearby tall building,
Leaning against the window, with cheeks supported by both hands and shaking, Ruan Xiuxiu hummed cheerfully.
Her crystal-clear glassy eyes saw the actions of these three clearly.
First amused by Cui Chan.
But then she pouted upon reflecting on Song Brahman Mirror and Song Chai Xin's interaction, appearing somewhat unhappy.
Could it be that those guys like Senior Sister's ice-cold demeanor because she is so extraordinarily talented?
Strange.
