Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Until his fall, the middle-aged man still kept his eyes wide open, unable to comprehend what had happened.

Lu Ye skillfully searched the middle-aged man's storage ring.

Now, he already had three storage rings in his possession.

Combined, the value of the storage rings alone was probably worth a million silver coins.

"This proves that taking risks is still the best way to get wealthy," Lu Ye thought to himself.

This place was remote, so Lu Ye took out a bottle of Bone-Dissolving Powder from his storage ring.

This was something he had purposely bought in Qingshan City after slaying the Wang Family Ancestor.

It was to provide comprehensive service for the enemy.

Even the Three Yin Sect elder he had killed before enjoyed this service.

Moments later, looking at the place where only some ashes remained, Lu Ye suddenly vanished.

...

...

In the inn.

Jiang Qingge showed a trace of anxiety on her face; it had been almost twenty minutes, and Lu Ye still hadn't returned.

Could something have really happened?

After all, the Condensing Origin Realm wasn't particularly strong for a Martial Arts Cultivator.

Just then, Jiang Qingge stood by the window and saw a familiar figure walk into the inn.

"You're back?"

Feeling a slight joy in her heart, Jiang Qingge immediately walked out of the room and headed downstairs.

Watching this scene, Jiang Lingyue was a bit puzzled.

"What's going on with sister?"

As her sister, Jiang Lingyue could tell that Jiang Qingge's state had been a bit off recently.

If it was just an act, Su Wanren was already gone, so it seemed unnecessary to continue pretending.

If it wasn't an act... didn't she say she would annul the engagement once she reached the Innate stage?

What if her sister got too caught up in the role and ended up... doing something irreversible...

Will she still annul the engagement?

Downstairs in the inn, Jiang Qingge hurriedly went up to Lu Ye and softly asked, "Are you okay?"

She had a keen sense of smell, and just as she reached Lu Ye, she faintly detected a slight... scent of blood.

That's why she asked.

As for what Lu Ye had been doing outside, Jiang Qingge didn't want to ask much. If Lu Ye wanted to talk, he would naturally tell her when the time came.

"I'm fine. If you want to leave, we can go now," Lu Ye said calmly.

"Then let's go. It might not be safe here," Jiang Qingge thought, since Lu Ye had already had a confrontation and even bled.

It's better to leave early.

What if the enemy had more masters coming for support?

Better run quickly!

...

...

Previously, the carriage from the Jiang Family headed to Qingshan City was said to be unnecessary by Jiang Qingge, so it was taken back to Cloud Leaf City by the Jiang Family's Great Elder and others.

Now, three figures were slowly walking along the road.

Jiang Qingge didn't ask, while Jiang Lingyue, curious as ever, asked, "Brother-in-law, where did you go just now?"

Lu Ye replied indifferently, "I ran into an acquaintance I had met before and chatted for a bit."

That was the truth.

During the robbery before, this was indeed an acquaintance, they chatted for a bit, and then he instantly killed him.

After half a day, it was nearly dusk, and the three had already walked more than a hundred miles.

Lu Ye and Jiang Lingyue were Martial Arts Cultivators and didn't feel much, but Jiang Qingge couldn't hold up any longer.

Although she gritted her teeth to keep going, her legs were trembling.

As dusk settled in, Lu Ye waved his hand, "Alright, let's stop here for today. If this doesn't work tomorrow, we should find a car rental place and rent a carriage."

"I'm sorry, I thought I could manage," Jiang Qingge said, lowering her head.

Walking was her idea; she wanted to see the scenery along the way and relax.

Lu Ye didn't object. Compared to staying at the Jiang Family, being outside was obviously more liberating.

He had already decided that after escorting the two back to the Jiang Family this time, he would leave to cultivate in seclusion.

Whether to annul the engagement or not was actually not important; the greater significance was perhaps just for show for the Red Cloud Sect.

Even though Lu Ye was confident that he wasn't afraid of anyone within the Innate stage, above the Innate... there was still a vast gap.

Having gathered some firewood, he started a bonfire to dispel the engulfing darkness of night, while Lu Ye's mind was pondering matters beyond the Innate stage.

Above the Martial Arts Innate stage... is the Grandmaster Realm!

Martial Arts Grandmaster!

This realm was scarcely described even in the countless books of the Red Cloud Sect's Library Pavilion back then.

If the Innate Realm allowed for preliminary stepping on the air flight and soaring void crossing capabilities,

then the Grandmaster Realm boasted steel bones, the ability to shrink distances, and the power to cross the void!

Within a thousand meters, it was almost a blink of an eye to traverse space and appear before you.

Their physical form would undergo a profound transformation, as strong as steel and impervious to ordinary magical artifacts!

"Reaching the Grandmaster Realm, one may truly stand proudly at the peak of the Northern Realm..." Lu Ye murmured to himself.

Lu Ye was very curious about what expression the Red Cloud Fairy would have when learning he became a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

After all, as far as Lu Ye knew, the Red Cloud Sect, overseeing the hundreds of thousands of miles of the Northern Xuanzhou, had only two above the Innate stage.

The Red Cloud Fairy, plus a Supreme Elder.

...

...

In the depths of the night, in this desolate wilderness, two Tier Two early stage fierce beasts, shadow wolves, followed the scent and killed their way here.

Smelling the human race scent not far away, the two Tier Two shadow wolves, comparable to the early Postnatal Realm, almost drooled.

Jiang Lingyue's face turned pale; she was only at the ninth layer of the Condensing Origin Realm and found it extremely difficult to handle just one.

Looking at Lu Ye, Jiang Lingyue gritted her teeth and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll take the male one, you handle the female one."

Males are generally stronger and harder to deal with than females.

Jiang Qingge's expression also tightened, and she asked softly, "Can we escape?"

Jiang Lingyue shook her head and whispered, "No way, these beasts like to bully the weak but fear the strong. If you don't show fear, it might not attack immediately."

"Once you expose your back to it, it will definitely strike."

Lu Ye said nothing, picking up two stones and infusing them with True Qi.

The next moment... whoosh whoosh!

Like bullets fired from a gun, they swiftly pierced through the heads of the two shadow wolves, each comparable to the early Postnatal Realm!

Having decided to leave the Jiang Family, there was no need to hide his abilities anymore.

The Jiang sisters were both stunned, staring at the nonchalant Lu Ye in shock.

In a casual move, he instantly killed two Tier Two fierce beasts at the Postnatal Realm?

Coming to her senses, Jiang Lingyue immediately clung to Lu Ye's arm, her eyes almost sparkling with stars, exclaiming, "Brother-in-law, you're so awesome! How did you become so strong?!"

Jiang Qingge, on the other hand, looked at his increasingly mature yet mysteriously veiled face, feeling a slight bitterness in her heart.

He was clearly her husband, but it seemed that besides knowing him as Lu Ye,

she knew nothing else about him.

So he had already achieved strength rivaling the Postnatal Realm?

How laughable she thought at the time that he wasn't serious about his martial arts cultivation...

To reach the Postnatal Realm with the aptitude of a Servant Disciple, Lu Ye must have... endured a lot of hardship, right?
