With the old lady’s narration, Ji Yang also learned some things about the cultivation world. Indeed, cultivation was not just a fictional thing from novels; it was just that everyone was unaware of it.
Sir Chu, due to his average aptitude and age, had joined the Mortal Dust to aid Hua Country in repelling foreigners. Unfortunately, he had succumbed to severe injuries and later passed away. The old lady, whom Sir Chu had married after coming to the secular world, did not possess the aptitude for cultivation. However, she knew a lot about cultivation and had also learned some martial arts, possibly due to a type of pill brought by Sir Chu, which kept her health in good condition.
Today, she was willing to talk about these matters mainly because she saw that Ji Yang was a cultivator.
"You are a cultivator, not a commoner. Sooner or later, you will enter the world of cultivation. Therefore, the ordinary rules don’t matter much to you. I know about your relationship with Yuan, and as long as you both are happy, that’s enough."
The old lady was open-minded and did not mind their current relationship.
"Don’t worry, I will definitely treat Sister Yuan well," Ji Yang expressed his stance.
"Whether it’s good or not doesn’t matter much. I’ve heard from Sir Chu about the cultivation world, where the ultimate goal is longevity. You two are originally from different worlds; while Yuan is still young, cherish your time together and love each other as much as you can."
At this point, the old lady clearly harbored various regrets. Looking up at the sky, she seemed to fall into a reverie.
Ji Yang couldn’t quite understand the old lady’s thoughts at the moment and glanced toward Chu Shuyuan, who was also looking back at him.
Their gazes met, and their hands intertwined.
After a long while, the old lady finally said, "The blessed land where Sir Chu was, is called Gan Mountain."
Chu Shuyuan asked, "What place is that?"
"It’s in Qiannan," the old lady replied.
"Grandma, have you been there?"
The old lady sighed and said, "Everyone knows where the blessed lands are, but only cultivators know their entrances. Ordinary people, even if they go there, cannot find the entrance. I’ve been there, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find it." This content belongs to novel✶fire.net
Ji Yang was taken aback; he hadn’t expected that ordinary people couldn’t enter such places, not even those highly skilled in martial arts.
Looking at Ji Yang, the old lady said, "Little Ji can probably find the entrance. If you can get in, you should go take a look."
Ji Yang responded affirmatively.
"Now that you know these things, that’s enough. That area is for cultivators. It is said that immortals and mortals follow different paths. Those cultivators generally do not come to the Mortal Dust Realm because their cultivation not only won’t grow here, but it will regress. If they commit evil deeds, then their cultivation regresses even more severely."
At this point, she looked at Ji Yang, curious about him being able to cultivate in the Mortal Dust Realm.
"Little Ji, the thing from the Mo Family is poison. I have seen it, and it can’t be healed by ordinary people. I suspect someone has tampered with it. If you help in curing it, there might be unforeseen consequences. Think it over, and if you really don’t want to assist in curing it, I can still help you."
Ji Yang now was eager to observe what was going on. He had always cultivated alone and didn’t know about the external situation. Hearing what the old lady mentioned, he desired to meet those other cultivators. If the old lady, who was hard-pressed to understand the poison, suspected it might be related to cultivators.
The old lady was merely reminding him; she didn’t understand the situation with cultivators and didn’t care how Ji Yang decided to act.
"Sir Chu, despite not having much aptitude, still brought some things here. I’ll show them to you."
After finishing her words, the old lady went inside the house.
"Grandma is really nice to you. She never talked about these things to us before," Chu Shuyuan remarked to Ji Yang.
"Has no one from the Chu Family heard about this?"
"Everyone just knows that Grandpa was a formidable man, and Grandma’s martial arts were all taught by him. Other matters were never discussed. Today is the first time I’ve heard these things."
Ji Yang said, "It might be because no one from the Chu Family has been a cultivator. If this information spread, it could be harmful to the Chu Family."
Chu Shuyuan nodded slightly and said, "You’re right; maybe that was the concern."
Ji Yang said, "I’ll try to find a way for you to cultivate too."
"Forget it; didn’t you hear what Grandma said? Our family members don’t have the aptitude for cultivation. So, it’s best to leave it as it is."
Ji Yang fell silent; it was indeed the case that his cultivation technique seemed not to work on women, at most only helping them to transform their bodies through painful procedures.
Looking again at Chu Shuyuan, she did indeed look exceptionally beautiful with radiant skin from their many deep interactions. Even claiming she was only twenty years old was entirely plausible.
