Chapter 452 Gain and Loss

Understanding Qin Antai's thoughts, Qin Xuan nodded in agreement.

He was not suited to be a leader, but he was not foolish.

Even if Qin Antai did not explicitly state the pros and cons, he could figure them out.

At the same time, he also proposed that Qin Antai collect more medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Peiyuan Pill.

After returning from the Lie family, he would do his best to refine more Peiyuan Pills, so that more cultivators could improve.

"I understand, Xuan'er. You've just emerged from seclusion, you should go and rest properly."

"There are still three full days until Ling'er's wedding. Two days from now, I will have Elder Ke and the others accompany you to Shucheng, where the Lie family resides."

"Alright."

...

Two days later, the time finally arrived at the twenty-seventh day of the second lunar month.

On this day, Qin Xuan emerged from his room early, waiting for his masters to arrive.

And Ke Wudi and the others did not keep Qin Xuan waiting for too long.

Due to the recent undercurrents, only Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing would accompany Qin Xuan to the Lie family this time.

The more powerful Hu Sanqiang needed to guard the imperial capital.

However, this was still sufficient.

After all, Qin Xuan alone could completely crush all the Core Formation experts of the Lu and Lie families.

The only drawback was that True Martial Daoist Chen Xuan had not returned to the imperial capital during this period.

Otherwise, with the formidable Qin Xuan and the experienced Chen Xuan, they could have flattened the Lu and Lie families, no matter how difficult the path.

After bidding farewell to his parents, Qin Xuan, along with his two masters, headed directly to the imperial capital airport.

As for Qin Antai, he had not been idle either.

He had already ordered the troops stationed in Shudi and Jiangcheng to be fully deployed, conducting a three-day military exercise near the barrier of the Lie and Lu families.

If Qin Xuan and the others proceeded smoothly and the Lu and Lie families were successfully incorporated, then this military exercise could serve as preparation for future resistance wars.

But if Qin Xuan and the others encountered strong resistance from the Lu and Lie families.

Then the soldiers' dark muzzles would be aimed at places that did not exist on the map!

As they were traveling by private jet, Qin Xuan and the three of them boarded the spacious military aircraft as soon as they arrived at the airport.

Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing sat with their eyes closed, while Qin Xuan, on the side, taught them his newly comprehended cultivation technique, the "Tai Xuan Jing."

According to Qin Xuan's conception, his cultivation technique integrated the strengths of various schools.

Although it included many techniques that required heavenly spiritual energy to cultivate, it also contained the self-created internal circulation essence and qi techniques of his masters.

Therefore, if he could practice it, his masters should also be able to practice it.

Moreover, Master Chen Xuan had once said that his masters were rare cultivation geniuses even in the immortal cultivation world.

Since their talent was so formidable, cultivating a technique should not be a problem, right?

However, the more he taught, the more Qin Xuan frowned.

Because he discovered that his cultivation technique was completely uncultivable by his masters.

Whether it was through verbal instruction, allowing them to cultivate on their own, or Qin Xuan personally guiding their essence and qi within Ke Wudi and the other two with his spiritual energy.

The result was the same for Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing.

The essence and qi could not circulate correctly, and during cultivation, the technique could not operate normally.

In other words, unless Qin Xuan continuously guided them to circulate the technique within their bodies with his spiritual energy, they could not operate it normally on their own.

"This, how can this be?"

"The cultivation steps are not wrong at all, and the acupoints used are all unblocked!"

After trying for a long time, Qin Xuan finally sat down on a distant seat with a frustrated complaint.

Seeing this, Ke Wudi and the other two stepped forward to comfort him, but Qin Xuan just couldn't understand why he could practice this technique, but his masters couldn't.

It should be noted that Qin Xuan was actually a person who cared deeply about emotions.

He cared greatly about those around him and those close to him.

Whether it was his masters or his parents.

He did not want to lose them, nor did he want to watch them die before his eyes.

The purpose of him teaching the "Tai Xuan Jing" to his masters this time, besides hoping they could cultivate better techniques and improve their strength, was more to try something.

To try and see if such a formidable cultivation technique could be popularized among the people he cared about.

Because among cultivators, cultivation level could be seen as a proxy for lifespan.

If everyone could cultivate as fast as him and circulate their essence and qi at will.

Then, not to mention anything else, extending everyone's lifespan by several decades would not be a problem.

At that time, he would feel more at ease when he went to the immortal cultivation world to search for the Longevity Pill.

After all, searching for pills outside was inherently a wishful fantasy.

Qin Xuan had long thought that the lifespan of immortal cultivators was calculated in thousands of years.

The journey in the immortal cultivation world was also calculated in millions of kilometers or even light-years.

The time it would take him to search for pills outside was impossible to estimate.

Perhaps, if he didn't go to the immortal cultivation world, he could accompany everyone on Blue Star for a hundred years, but if he went to the immortal cultivation world, he might not even be able to see his loved ones for the last time.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

His cultivation technique was not something everyone could cultivate at will.

Now, he could only fall back into the painful choice of whether to go out and search for pills, gambling on everyone's lifespan, or to stay on Blue Star and wait for everyone to perish.

"It's alright, Xuan'er, we can understand your feelings, but there are many things in the world that cannot be forced."

"As the saying goes, life is like a dream, a fleeting hundred years."

"People have known from a very early age that they will eventually die, yet they still hope to live more brilliantly before they die."

"So don't be too fixated on these things, just live in the moment and enjoy the beautiful times when everyone is together, that's enough."

"But I'm really afraid of losing you all..."

Qin Xuan could understand what his master said, but his years of orphanhood had made him emotionally sensitive.

Living in the moment sounded simple, but how many people could truly live without caring about gains and losses?

Seeing this, Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing both shook their heads and gently stroked Qin Xuan's head.

They understood their disciple's feelings. After all, such things were never spoken but needed to be comprehended by oneself.

Qin Xuan had lost his parents at a young age and no one had deliberately provided him with psychological support in this regard.

Now that he had suddenly become overly worried and anxious, even they, with their rich experience, could not easily rescue Qin Xuan from his own predicament.

So, all they could do now was to silently stay by Qin Xuan's side and accompany him to continue moving forward.

Until one day, Qin Xuan had an epiphany and made his own choice, or used their old bodies to lead Qin Xuan to truly experience parting.
