Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 156 - 109: Flying Sword Advancement, Return to White Stone Town!

Chapter 156: Chapter 109: Flying Sword Advancement, Return to White Stone Town!

Qi Chuan stood up and walked towards the entrance of the Cave Mansion.

At the gate of the Cave Mansion, he saw that the array was enveloping it, and outside the array was the Qi Clan Leader, Qi Wuyou, still standing guard.

Seeing this scene, Qi Chuan felt a touch of emotion, as this clan leader truly had nothing more to say about him.

"Qi Chuan, are you done?"

Outside the Cave Mansion, sensing some movement from Qi Chuan’s side, Qi Wuyou turned his head and, upon seeing Qi Chuan come out, immediately opened the array covering the Cave Mansion and asked with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Clan Leader, for lending me your Cave Mansion. I’ve completed my business, and it is time to leave." Qi Chuan came to Qi Wuyou, clasped his fist, and said.

"Alright, your world is not within this Red Maple Valley, so I won’t keep you. Be careful on your future path of cultivation; safety is foremost." Qi Wuyou also clasped his fist in response.

Qi Chuan nodded, then under the gaze of Qi Wuyou, flew away.

"How wonderful..."

Outside the Cave Mansion, Qi Wuyou watched Qi Chuan’s disappearance and murmured with a smile.

Speaking of which, the greatest gain for the Qi Family from Qi Chuan’s return is learning that Qi Chuan is still alive.

Everything else, including the many Talismans Qi Chuan gave to the Qi Family, was actually secondary.

The most important thing is that the Qi Family still has two Foundation Establishments!

With this, the development of the Qi Family will eventually soar again.

Thinking about this, Qi Wuyou, in a good mood, walked towards his own Cave Mansion.

...

Qi Chuan left Qi Wuyou’s Cave Mansion and headed outside Red Maple Valley. However, he didn’t go directly back to the Sect but went to the outskirts of Red Maple Valley, to a Mortal Town, White Stone Town.

Back then, Qi Chuan was transmigrated and became a baby in White Stone Town, growing until ten years old. Later, he successfully passed the Spirit Testing Ceremony held by the Qi Family, detected his Eighth Grade Spirit Root, and thus joined the Qi Family Main Lineage in Red Maple Valley, starting his cultivation journey.

Speaking of it, it has been many years since he last returned.

"I wonder how Uncle and Aunt are doing nowadays?"

Qi Chuan thought to himself.

Having lost his parents from a young age, it was his Uncle and Aunt who raised him, giving him a debt of gratitude for upbringing.

Before, in the four years after he joined the Qi Family Main Lineage of Red Maple Valley and before entering the Inner Sect of the Wind Moon Sect, he actually returned a few times to visit his Uncle and Aunt.

At that time, his Uncle and Aunt were living well in White Stone Town. After all, the family produced two Cultivators, his Second Uncle and himself, and with such connections, they couldn’t be bullied.

Since entering the Inner Sect of the Wind Moon Sect, until now, he hadn’t returned to White Stone Town in about eight years.

Before the rumor of his fake death spread, his Uncle and Aunt surely didn’t need to worry. After joining the Inner Sect of the Wind Moon Sect, he progressed steadily and rapidly, step by step advancing to reach True Inheritance and Elder status; thus, his Uncle and Aunt’s life in White Stone Town could only get better, not worse.

But after the rumors of his fake death circulated, things might have changed.

His Uncle and Aunt’s lives surely would have been affected to some degree.

But that’s secondary, as even if there were effects, they still had Second Uncle. A mortal family with a Cultivator as a backer could live an ordinarily prosperous life in White Stone Town without any issue.

However, Qi Chuan worried that his Uncle and Aunt would be saddened by his matters; after all, raising him as their own from a baby for ten years, hearing news of his fake death would certainly have affected their emotions.

Thinking this, Qi Chuan soon arrived above White Stone Town, gazing down at the town below.

As a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, even without too many Concealing techniques, merely using a simple Invisibility Technique, no one in this town could discern his whereabouts.

Still, to be safe, Qi Chuan affixed Illusion Body Talisman and Concealing Breath Talisman on himself.

From high in the sky, Qi Chuan easily spotted the large plaza in the center of the town, very familiar to him.

"This plaza hasn’t changed at all."

Looking at the plaza, Qi Chuan smiled.

In White Stone Town, many major events would summon all the mortal residents to this plaza to announce or handle them.

Back then, it was on this plaza that he participated in the Spirit Testing Ceremony, thus stepping into the Immortal Dao.

And now, approximately twelve years have passed.

From a ten-year-old child, he’s grown to become today’s Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator. Moreover, he’s now a formidable Sword Cultivator with various terrifying Sword Dao Divine Techniques.

Back then, he probably never imagined that his growth would be so rapid.

"The plaza hasn’t changed, but the town itself has expanded significantly, with many new houses and residents."

Qi Chuan surveyed the town below, reflecting silently.

The more mortal residents there are, the more Immortal Seeds with Spirit Roots can be born proportionally.

White Stone Town is one of several Mortal Towns under the Qi Family in Red Maple Valley. If this town has changed so much, then other towns should be similar.

This is certainly a good thing for the Qi Family.

It seems that in these twelve years, the Qi Family has indeed developed quite well.

Zoom!

With this thought, Qi Chuan moved in his mind, his body descending downward, directly appearing on a most ordinary street in White Stone Town.

By now, his clothes had long been changed to a fine brocade garment, making him look like an ordinary wealthy young man from the town. Aside from his handsome appearance and an aura slightly more refined than the average mortal, there was nothing unusual.

When such a young man suddenly appeared in the town, the surrounding mortal residents did not notice anything amiss, passing by as if invisible. Businesses in the shops along the street continued as usual, each conducting their own affairs.

Yet secretly, some young women, girls, and even married women were unconsciously drawn to Qi Chuan’s appearance and aura, pondering, "This man is so handsome; how come I didn’t notice him earlier?"

Qi Chuan, however, ignored these looks, walking at his own pace, casually observing the pedestrians on the street and the shops along the roadside, like a tourist.

"Many people I don’t recognize..."

After observing for a while, Qi Chuan sighed internally.

After so many years, the children in the town would have grown up, and the streets are filled with many unfamiliar faces. He, too, was once a child running around the town, and now, returning to White Stone Town, he finds he doesn’t recognize many people.

Only on the sides of the street, among some old shops, did he see some familiar faces; presumably, these people have been working in the shops every day for many years, earning a living for their families.

Walking through various streets of the town, familiar yet unfamiliar scenes overlapped with the memories in his mind, unexpectedly making him feel a bit disoriented.

It’s not simply the case that things have changed but people have remained the same; both are changing.

Unknowingly, Qi Chuan found himself not far from his uncle and aunt’s old home.

Now, Qi Chuan looked to his left, where the southeastern part of the town was, yet it wasn’t some obscure alley. This area housed seven or eight families, with rather decent courtyards and gates. The yards also had some fruit trees planted, with branches extending beyond the courtyard walls, and quite a few nicely grown fruits could be seen hanging from them.

Qi Chuan walked into a reasonably spacious road, finally arriving outside a household.

Looking at the gateway of this house, he felt a hint of unfamiliarity because the gate had been remodeled, appearing more ornate than the gate in his memory from his uncle and aunt’s home.

Back then, due to his Second Uncle being a Cultivator, his Uncle and Aunt’s family were already involved in some business, living comfortably.

Later, when he was detected with a Spirit Root, becoming an Immortal Seed, and joining the Qi Family Main Lineage to start his cultivation, eventually joining the Wind Moon Sect, his uncle’s family presumably received a lot of attention and care from the town, and business thrived. Many people also sought to associate with them, hence the change in the gate.
