Li Ping’an stretched out his right hand and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Ningning Mu covered the back of his hand with hers and gently rubbed it.
The atmosphere was quietly changing.
Li Ping’an smiled and said, “Martial sister, you haven’t formed your Primordial Spirit yet, otherwise I could help you with the spirit moulting.”
“Once the Primordial Spirit is formed, I can step onto the Heaven and Earth Bridge, but I’m still several minor realms away from that, it’s going to take a long time.”
Ningning Mu’s eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at Li Ping’an and then hesitantly looked aside, whispering, “Brother, are you about to become an immortal?”
“Becoming an immortal is still far off,” Li Ping’an said with a wry smile, “There’s been a problem here, and I might not be able to become an immortal for quite a while, but my strength is still increasing.”
Ningning Mu blinked and asked quietly, “Then when can you form a dao companion…”
Li Ping’an was at a loss for words, and casually pinched her cheek, feeling its smoothness even softer than a boiled egg white, as he said softly, “Isn’t your auntie right here?
I will ask my father to choose an auspicious day to give the engagement gifts.”
“No, don’t, this matter should still be discussed with my mother.”
“My fault,” Li Ping’an sighed, “How could I have forgotten this important matter, well let’s find a time to go to the Jade Pool.”
“There’s no need to hurry, I’m not going anywhere, and as long as you come back, you’ll be able to find me.”
Ningning Mu laughed lightly, leaning back in the bamboo chair, her gaze somewhat distant.
She spoke softly with a gentle voice, “I don’t know what happened, but my mood has suddenly changed a lot, as if I’ve grown up after a nap, now being with you just makes me happy, and I don’t feel embarrassed to say such things.”
‘This is probably the influence of the legacy of Li Mu’s daughter.’
Of course, this is what a boy who doesn’t understand love would say.
Li Ping’an, however, was an old hand at this and his affections for his martial sister were growing by the day, so he didn’t mind saying some sweet nothings to make her happy.
Therefore, Li Ping’an cleared his throat and in a slightly deep voice said, “Ningning?”
“You can always rely on me,” Li Ping’an said warmly, “no matter what it is.”
Ningning Mu smiled with pursed lips, their eyes intertwining as the bamboo chair and the recliner moved closer, with their faces becoming increasingly clearer in each other’s eyes.
From the entrance of the cave, the coughing of True Immortal Qing Xu could be heard.
Ningning Mu stood up abruptly, hands clasped behind her back, and Li Ping’an suddenly had a book in his hands, his lips curling into a smile.
Outside the door, several figures hurriedly entered, obviously with Qing Su present to freely pass through the formation.
True Immortal Qing Xu hurriedly called out: “Ningning!
Why did you come here!
Hurry back, everyone on Caiyun Peak is waiting for your speech.
As Li Dazhi, the ancestral master, said, you should work hard to learn the fearless spirit of Li Mu, the divine general!”
Ningning Mu gave Li Ping’an a wink, and the two gestured to each other, agreeing to meet up later.
Qing Su stroked his chin, sizing up Ningning Mu for a moment and then glanced at Li Ping’an.
There’s no need to mention the disciple’s several visits to the Drunken Moon Tower.
After all, it was for pressing matters.
Li Ping’an stayed in the mountains for three days, then planned to return to Dong’an City.
He performed the spirit moulting technique to help his father and master complete their Primordial Spirit’s first moulting.
Li Ping’an’s thoughts were correct; the stronger the Primordial Spirit wishing to complete spirit moulting, the more Fountain of Youth Water was required, and the effect was more significant.
Li Dazhi was almost on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but on Li Ping’an’s repeated advice, decided to stabilize for a few more years and solidify the various realms of True Immortal.
For Li Dazhi, his cultivation speed was indeed too swift.
For Li Ping’an, he still needed some time to deal with the Blood Fiend Hall; his father’s calamity was triggered in the ‘Heavenly Immortal Realm’.
Qing Su also made a breakthrough, reaching the fourth rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
During this spirit moulting, Li Ping’an unexpectedly discovered that his master’s Primordial Spirit had perfectly merged with the essence of the yellow earth and Master Qing Su’s Dao Body and Primordial Spirit were transforming towards the first generation of the Human Race.
Just give the master enough time to grow, and once he steps into the Golden Immortal realm, he is certain to become a mighty expert who will shock all sides.
Golden Immortals are different from Golden Immortals.
After much deliberation, Li Ping’an decided not to perform spirit moulting on Xiaoyue for the time being.
The reason was simple; Aunt Xiaoyue hadn’t officially joined the family, and she and his father hadn’t completed the formal rites.
And even with all the Fountain of Youth Water he had, including that from his father’s side, there was only enough to moulte another five or six True Immortals or Heavenly Immortals.
It really wasn’t enough to share at the moment.
The spirit moulting technique was his unique secret, and also the best gift he could give to ‘those around him’ in the future.
Who could refuse the benefit of enhancing their Primordial Spirit by a whole level?
According to the list in Li Ping’an’s heart, the next in line for spirit moulting were Elder Yansheng and Minister Weiyen, followed by ‘Mo Wentian’ Xuntian Xu, then Ningning, who would eventually step into the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm, as well as his brothers Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu who had been through life and death with him, and his own second moulting of the Primordial Spirit, once he found enough ‘supplementary materials’ and his Primordial Spirit became stronger.
Calculating back and forth, the Fountain of Youth Water he had was just enough.
He really needed to find an opportunity to visit the Queen Mother.
But Li Ping’an had persistent doubts in his heart.
The reason was simple; the Queen Mother supported the Heavenly Dao and was urging the Human Emperors to establish the new Heavenly Court and continue to rule over the Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao, Li Ping’an glanced at the Golden Cloud above his spiritual platform and felt a bit melancholic.
What about yielding to the Heavenly Dao?
Before knowing about the concept of ‘Heavenly Slave,’ Li Ping’an emphatically rejected the temptations of the Heavenly Dao, not to mention now that he was aware of the term ‘Heavenly Slave.’
