Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds

Offense?

The last time he had met Xu Xing, Kang Yu's tone had been unfriendly. Believing Xu Xing was involved with Yan Xiling, he had stopped him. But upon learning Xu Xing was to marry into the Yan Family, his attitude shifted... He immediately offered a bottle of Snow Spirit Water as a welcoming gift.

This shouldn't have counted as an offense!

However, Xu Xing was now a promising Dao Pill Daoist of the Immeasurable Sect. After this change in status, what Kang Yu had considered a normal gesture was, to Xu Xing, a grave "disrespect." Frivolous words might mean little to someone of low standing, but to the powerful, they were a provocation. At that time, Xu Xing had just reached the third level of the Blending Light Realm and was a freelance cultivator recruited by the Immeasurable Sect. Compared to Kang Yu, the direct grandson of Ze Sheng Ancestor, Xu Xing's status was naturally much lower.

"Is it Senior Brother Kang?" Xu Xing looked slightly surprised. He quickly helped Kang Yu, who was bowing deeply, to his feet and asked with feigned curiosity, "Senior Brother Kang, you've never offended Chang Mou. Why speak of an apology?"

This was their second meeting. The first time, Kang Yu had treated him as part of the Younger Generation and given him a gift. It had humiliated him! While not as severe as Zhuge Liang sending Sima Yi women's attire, the contempt and humiliation had been palpable. Perhaps this was typical behavior for a dandy like Kang Yu, and he hadn't truly intended to humiliate him. But the grudge had been formed, and Xu Xing certainly wouldn't pretend it never happened and simply let it go. However, now that Kang Yu had taken the initiative to apologize for past events, he could hardly dwell on it.

"Uncle Chang, you flatter me." Kang Yu was startled when Xu Xing called him Senior Brother. He quickly waved his hands, "Uncle Chang, you are now a Dao Pill Daoist. You can simply call this junior 'Junior'; there's no need to call me Senior Brother anymore."

Although he was the direct grandson of Ze Sheng Ancestor, the Ancestor's power was not his own. Relying on the Kang Family, he could get away with bullying some Bottom-level Cultivators. But if he truly overestimated himself and offended a Dao Pill Daoist... the Kang Family would not choose to tolerate him. This apology to "Chang Kun" was also at the behest of his own grandfather, Ze Sheng Ancestor.

"Uncle Chang, my father would like to invite you to visit Ze Sheng Forest as a guest when you have the time. I wonder if Uncle Chang is free recently?" Kang Yu continued.

Ze Sheng Ancestor had less than a thousand years of Lifespan remaining and was entering his twilight years. It was imperative for the Kang Family to befriend Dao Pill Daoists within the School who showed promise of advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, Dao Pill Daoists were already High-level members within the Sect, and their decisions profoundly influenced the Sect. They could not be easily overlooked.

"I've heard Ze Sheng Forest is rich in Yun Shu Tea. Chang Mou is quite the tea aficionado. If the Kang Family has some top-grade Yun Shu Tea, Chang Mou would be willing to visit Ze Sheng Forest to taste it..." Xu Xing didn't agree immediately. Upon hearing the invitation, he frowned slightly, pondered for a few breaths, then sighed softly and spoke.

Ze Sheng Forest, much like Golden Rainbow Valley, was the territory of the Kang Family of the Ze Sheng lineage.

"Top-grade Yun Shu Tea?" Kang Yu nodded. "In another two years, the Yun Shu Tea will mature, and new tea will be roasted then."

"I just don't know if Uncle Chang will have time in two years..." Building good relations, though often a matter of aligning mutual interests, still required a certain display of refined taste.

"Chang Mou will naturally have time," Xu Xing said with a slight smile.

Ze Sheng Forest couldn't possibly lack a stock of top-grade Yun Shu Tea. Mentioning "two years" at this time carried a deeper meaning, alluding to the two major lineages within the Immeasurable Sect: the Daoisms of Golden Rainbow Valley and Ze Sheng Forest, led by their respective Nascent Soul Daoist Lords. If Xu Xing were to head to Ze Sheng Forest immediately, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from Golden Rainbow Valley, especially since he had just refused the marriage alliance with Yan Wenyuan. These "two years" were also a signal from the Kang Family to Golden Rainbow Valley, indicating they had no intention of vying for Xu Xing. It was merely about fostering necessary ties as members of the same School.

"This junior will take his leave then, Uncle. I won't disturb you any further." Having received a satisfactory reply, Kang Yu bowed deeply to Xu Xing, then clasped his hands in farewell and departed from the front of Lingxin Pavilion.

Deliberately apologizing in front of the Sect Master, and then mentioning 'two years'... Xu Xing rubbed his chin and mused. This Kang Yu doesn't seem to be a simple dandy after all. I just wonder if this was the Kang Family's instruction, or his own idea.

...

「After his breakthrough to the Dao Pill Realm.」

External Cultivation Resources entered his body, just like the previous two times when he had condensed the Tenth Heaven Immortal Fate [Su Yun] and the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit]. This time, Xu Xing condensed a new Immortal Fate [Tiger Den].

[Tiger Den (Eight Extremes): Born from the Fate Determining Dao Pill, it can produce tiger cubs and gather White Tiger Qi.]

"Your Eight Extremes Immortal Life [Tiger Den] conflicts with your Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit]. They can be fused."

"Do you choose to fuse the two great Immortal Fates, solidifying them with [Taoist Fruits] and transforming the illusory cause into a true fruit?"

These sentences flowed across the Mirror Surface.

Xu Xing naturally chose to fuse the two great Immortal Fates. Just as he had guessed when condensing his Dao Pill, specialized energies like Dragon Qi and Tiger Qi were also a type of spiritual energy, falling within the gathering scope of his Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit]. His successful condensation of the Dao Pill this time was partly due to the assistance of the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit].

「Next moment.」

In the [Immortal Fate] column, an additional line appeared: [Cave Spirit (Dragon Pool Tiger Den·Eight Extremes)].

[Cave Spirit (Dragon Pool Tiger Den·Eight Extremes)]: Accompanied by the spirit of the Purple Mansion. During Cultivation, it allows one to draw closer to the spiritual energies of heaven and earth within a ten-mile radius. Automatically gathers Dragon Qi and Tiger Qi.

Solidify the Eight Extremes Immortal Life [Cave Spirit] with [Taoist Fruits].

Xu Xing hadn't expected that [Cave Spirit] could be enhanced in this manner.

Instantly, as his Magic Power was consumed.
