Chapter 264 – Raising A Son In The Cultivation World (part 16)

Li Su and her son happily ate a meal. Immortal Stays then went to the secluded residence on the mountain to study and practice.

When he first started cultivating, he actually didn’t understand a lot of things. He didn’t even know some words. He slowly had to absorb things and practice slowly.

Fortunately, the technique that the immortal passed on to him was amazing, as if it was tailor-made for him. Once he found the door and entered, his cultivation went very smoothly. However, he cultivated by himself without the guidance of a master. He could only explore slowly. It probably took more effort than others.

If he had been willing to be a disciple at the beginning, it would have been much smoother.

But he didn’t regret it. Cultivation to be an immortal was his dream, but being able to accompany his mother and be filial to her was also what he wanted to do. The two did not conflict.

Immortal Stays touched his stomach. He just ate a lot of food. It was likely that, after training later, there would be a lot of impurities in his body. There were so many impurities in the mortal world. Mother ate them every day, so there must be even more impurities in her body. He wanted to practice as soon as possible. If he could achieve something in the future, he could also help his mother recuperate her body.

Li Su watched Immortal Stays go to Secluded Bamboo House again and sighed. She really didn’t know much about the cultivation of immortals, and she didn’t know how to help. She heard that cultivators generally refrained from eating grain in order to achieve immortality because there were too many impurities in the food of the mortal world or something.

When Immortal Stays was cultivating, she would have people bring food to him on time for three meals a day. But Immortal Stays didn’t eat much. In the past few days, he didn’t move at all. Li Su wondered if Immortal Stays had started to refrain from eating grain.

But just now, she didn’t think too much about it. She only said that Immortal Stays was too thin and wanted to make something for him. Immortal Stays ate a lot in order to make her happy, and she didn’t know if it had any effect on him. This stupid boy didn’t say anything at that time. Li Su was a little worried.

Seeing that Li Su was a little gloomy, Lüzhu quickly said, “Young miss, didn’t you say you want to learn embroidery? The embroidery girl that Sister Jinzhu was looking for has already arrived. Would you like to meet her?”

Cuizhu and the others also looked at Li Su expectantly.

Seeing that they were so attentive, Li Su said, “Okay, let’s go meet her!” Forget it. She wouldn’t think about it. She would pay attention next time and not do it again!

On the Yuan family’s side, Yuan Dao once again rejected the Su family’s request to visit Su Wanrong, and  the Su family left angrily.

Yuan Dao watched the Su family leaving with an expressionless face.

“Master, the madam wants to see you and has something to tell you, look…”

“Understood, I’ll go over later.” Yuan Dao said coldly. He wanted to see if Su Wanrong had anything else to quibble about.

Yuan Dao went to West Garden and ordered someone to unlock the door. After entering, the door of the main room was locked again.

Su Wanrong heard the movement outside the door and rushed to the door excitedly. “Husband! Is that you, husband?”

After the door opened, Yuan Dao stepped into the sunlight.

Su Wanrong hadn’t seen the sun for a long time, and she couldn’t open her eyes due to how bright it was.

After Yuan Dao entered, the door was closed again.

Su Wanrong got used to it. When she saw Yuan Dao, she rushed over. “Husband, listen to me. It has nothing to do with me. I don’t know what’s going on! I’m innocent.”

Yuan Dao walked into the room and sat on the chair. “Innocent? It has nothing to do with you? Hehe! Let me ask you something then. Why did you send away the person who was serving you? Well? How did you get an injury on your heart? What is going on?”

Su Wanrong opened her mouth. She didn’t know what to say, so she could only defend herself weakly, “Husband, I really don’t know what’s going on.”

Yuan Dao saw that Su Wanrong didn’t plan to tell the truth. He was even more disappointed with Su Wanrong. He sneered a few times. “Okay, I don’t want to know the reason. Just stay here!”

Su Wanrong suffered from her last injury. When she was emotional, her heart ached. She was trapped here and couldn’t go out. At least she still got three meals a day, but there was nothing else. She couldn’t contact Yuan Ru now and couldn’t get the elixir. She was terrified. She needed a doctor and tonics. She wanted to live well, and she wanted to be rich and honoured for a lifetime!

“Husband, we are married. You can’t do this. We still have a son, Yuan Ye is still young. He can’t live without a mother. Husband! Husband!” Su Wanrong said as she pulled Yuan Dao’s sleeve.

“Who said Yuan Ye doesn’t have a mother? Isn’t his mother standing here perfectly fine? Don’t worry, you will always be my wife and the Yuan family’s mistress. Even if you suffer from a chronic illness and can’t see people, my Yuan family will take good care of you.” Yuan Dao sneered.

Yuan Dao prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Su Wanrong gritted her teeth. “Husband, I have a secret to tell you!” She could not be locked here any longer. She was going out!

Yuan Dao’s eyes were sharp. Was she finally going to say it?

Su Wanrong looked solemn. “This matter is very important. Please don’t spread it out.”

Yuan Dao didn’t speak. He just stared at her, waiting for her to talk.

Su Wanrong stood up, straightened her clothes, and sat down beside Yuan Dao. “The ancestors of the Su family once gave birth to an immortal. This is true, and it is not that the descendants offered outlandish explanations. As for the technique left by the immortal, it happened too long ago for it to be verified. But, the immortal ancestor did leave something for the descendants of the Su family. However, the immortal ancestor was afraid that the descendants would abuse it, so he set up restrictions. Every time a descendant of the Su family uses it, they need a drop of blood from their heart. There will also be a backlash and they will lose ten years of their life. Therefore, for so many years, no one in the Su family used it without authorisation. Later, I accidentally came across this thing.”

Speaking of which, Su Wanrong pretended to be mysterious and glanced at Yuan Dao.

Seeing that Yuan Dao didn’t take it seriously, Su Wanrong felt a little resentful. She continued. “Does husband know what the immortal left behind?”

Seeing her appearance, Yuan Dao was bored. He turned his head away and didn’t speak.

Su Wanrong bit her lip. What kind of reaction was this, husband?! This was different from what she expected. Didn’t the world respect and seek immortals the most? Even her husband! Didn’t he marry her as an equal wife for the sake of the Su family’s immortal technique? She thought that if she talked about this matter, her husband’s attitude would turn around immediately. But why was it that her husband’s response so cold?

Su Wanrong felt humiliated, but in this situation, she had no choice but to make it clear. “The item left by the immortal ancestor is called soul-seeking incense. The immortal ancestor put a ray of his soul in the soul-seeking incense. When the descendants of the Su family are in danger, they can light the soul-seeking incense. The immortals will perceive it and then appear to solve the future generation’s problems. But because the soul-seeking incense needs blood from the heart. Since there will be a backlash, no one has ignited it for thousands of years.”

Yuan Dao’s eyes finally changed at this time.

Su Wanrong noticed it, and was slightly proud in her heart. “The first time I lit the soul-seeking incense was when I gave birth to the twins, but the boy died and the girl lived. I knew very well that if nothing happened, my daughter and I were doomed to fall out of favour. So, I lit the soul-seeking incense. I didn’t expect that it was not the ancestor of the Su family that appeared, but another immortal. I learned from the immortal that the immortal ancestor of the Su family had already fallen for unknown reasons. Before his fall, he entrusted this task to this immortal. If the Su family was in trouble, then he would help. So when I lit the soul-seeking incense, the immortal appeared. You already know what happened later, husband.”

When Yuan Dao thought about his excitement at that time, he felt it was ironic. “You said that using the soul-seeking incense will have a backlash and it will be detrimental to your lifespan. Aren’t you afraid?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? My daughter is also an immortal now. Can she still watch me, her mother, die? The backlash from the soul-seeking incense was resolved.” Su Wanrong’s eyes flashed with a hint of pride.

“But I don’t know what happened that time! I lit the soul-seeking incense, but there was no response at all. I was angry and anxious. I burned a few sticks of incense in a row, and took a few drops of blood from the heart, but there was no response at all. I was in a hurry and angry. I accidentally tore the wound, which made me fall into a coma. After waking up, I was locked in the room without seeing the light of day. I didn’t understand what was going on at first, but later, I found out that someone changed my soul-seeking incense!”

Speaking of this, Su Wanrong glared at Yuan Dao with eyes full of anger. “Husband must know what’s going on, right?”

Yuan Dao snorted coldly and did not speak.

Su Wanrong continued. “In the whole Yuan mansion, only I really enter my bedroom. I can’t think of anyone else who can go in and out of my bedroom without me knowing it. Apart from you, husband, I can’t think of anyone else. Is that right, husband?”

Su Wanrong originally didn’t want to not give face to Yuan Dao. After all, she knew that not giving face to Yuan Dao at this time would not benefit her at all. But, Yuan Dao’s attitude made her very unhappy and she had to ask clearly.

Yuan Dao sneered. “You said I changed your incense. Is there any evidence?”

Seeing this, Su Wanrong sneered slightly. “It’s fine if you don’t say anything about it. We are husband and wife. Husband and wife are one. Whatever is mine is also my husband’s. It’s just that, husband, this soul-seeking incense is only useful for the blood of the descendants of the Su family. I tried it rashly. Why don’t you return the soul-seeking incense to me? When Ru’er arrives, I will ask Ru’er to give me a few more elixirs so that husband doesn’t have to worry about his body.”

She had already noticed that Yuan Dao’s expression was not good. After thinking about it for a while, she understood the reason. Although she was angry and annoyed, Su Wanrong still held back. She had concealed this matter, and now that she wanted to ask him, she had to be humble.

Yuan Dao glanced at her. “You must be joking! Never mind if I have even seen the incense. Just take a step back and think about it. Even if I did take that incense, are you the only descendant of the Su family?”

Su Wanrong’s expression changed. “Husband!”

Yuan Dao looked at Su Wanrong coldly. “You are always like this. You think highly of yourself! Be smart!” If she had told him these things earlier, how could things have become like this? After all, it was all Su Wanrong’s fault!
