Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 160 - 111: Farewell Uncle and Aunt, Chance Encounter with Foundation Establishment!

Chapter 160: Chapter 111: Farewell Uncle and Aunt, Chance Encounter with Foundation Establishment!

Regarding this, Qi Chuan did not speak; he simply patted his aunt’s back to comfort her.

His uncle was the same, just watching his aunt cry, only occasionally offering a word or two of comfort.

In his heart, Ah Chuan was like his son, so only he could truly understand the feelings his wife was experiencing at this moment, which resonated with his own.

After a while, his aunt’s sobbing gradually subsided.

Subsequently, Qi Chuan and his uncle and aunt sat down together and talked for a long time.

The process was very pleasant, filled with a profound sense of family affection.

For Qi Yue and his wife, the return of Qi Chuan brought immense joy to their hearts. Therefore, after accepting the reality that Qi Chuan was still alive, they treasured this opportunity for reunion and conversation.

However, apart from this, there was not much talk about Qi Chuan’s cultivation realm, and they hardly thought about his Foundation Establishment Realm.

Not that they didn’t care.

But in their minds, Qi Chuan was the legendary Immortal Master, and the exact realm of the Immortal Master meant little to them as ordinary people. It was equally eternal life and vast divine powers.

All they needed to know was that their nephew was alive, and that was enough.

After talking for most of the day, the time for parting finally arrived.

Qi Chuan pushed a pile of Spirit Stones on the table toward his uncle and said, "Uncle, please accept these Spirit Stones. They will be useful to you."

Looking at the valuable Spirit Stones in front of him, Qi Yue shook his head and said, "Ah Chuan, you are an Immortal Master now. I’ve heard that Immortal Masters need Spirit Stones more. You should take them back and use them yourself. To us ordinary people, these are as good as high-value gold and silver. My business is currently manageable and I don’t need them."

Qi Chuan replied, "Uncle, this amount of Spirit Stones means nothing to me at the moment. Feel free to keep them, and who says these Spirit Stones are useless to you?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Qi Yue looked up in confusion, "We’re ordinary people, can we still use these Spirit Stones?"

If they were simply regarded as high-value treasures, there was no need for so many.

"Uncle, of course, ordinary people cannot use Spirit Stones. But just now at the gate, I saw Xiao Meng, and she seemed to emit a faint spiritual aura. I think she might have a Spirit Root."

"Xiao Meng is nine years old now. When she turns ten, she can participate in the Spirit Testing Ceremony in town. If she tests for a Spirit Root and becomes an Immortal Seed, joining the main lineage for cultivation, won’t these Spirit Stones come in handy?"

Qi Chuan said with a slight smile.

"What? Ah Chuan, could Meng Meng really have a Spirit Root?" Qi Yue asked, both surprised and delighted.

"There’s a high probability," Qi Chuan nodded in confirmation.

Now, being a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, his vision was exceptional, enough to vaguely see whether a mortal had a Spirit Root.

Before, the sense Qi Yumeng gave him was very spiritual, which likely indicated she had a Spirit Root.

However, what grade the Spirit Root could be was uncertain. A true testing artifact would be needed to determine it accurately.

Upon hearing Qi Chuan’s confirmation, both uncle and aunt were very happy.

Since Ah Chuan was an Immortal Master with uncommon insight, his words were unlikely to be false.

In White Stone Town, all mortals were proud if their family had a descendant with a Spirit Root. Now hearing that their daughter might have the legendary Spirit Root, they were naturally very pleased.

"In that case, Ah Chuan, if it really doesn’t affect you, I’ll accept these Spirit Stones with thanks," Qi Yue said a bit shyly.

Qi Chuan naturally nodded.

Seeing Qi Chuan nod, Qi Yue finally felt at ease taking the Spirit Stones, storing them away solemnly before thanking Qi Chuan again.

Although he had raised Ah Chuan, he didn’t take these Spirit Stones for granted. Ah Chuan’s willingness to provide so many Spirit Stones was something he was genuinely grateful for.

Subsequently, Qi Chuan chatted a bit more with his uncle and aunt before taking his leave. In the hall, he bowed to his uncle and aunt at the headseat and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I’m leaving now."

"Hmm, go ahead," his uncle simply looked at Qi Chuan and nodded, his expression neutral.

"Uh..." His aunt covered her mouth, her voice choked, unable to respond.

After bowing, Qi Chuan stood up without lingering, turned, and left the hall.

This departure perhaps truly signified that he might rarely return here in the future; this could very well be his last visit.

At the head of the hall, uncle and aunt looked tearfully at Qi Chuan’s departure, not seeing him off, their emotions deeply complex.

They sensed this could be the last time they might see Ah Chuan.

The emotions in their hearts were simply beyond words.

"One can only say, this is the difference between immortals and mortals, and eventually, this scene unfolds," Qi Yue sighed softly, murmuring.

At this moment, he even thought, in the future, his younger daughter with a Spirit Root might also face a farewell scene like Ah Chuan, instantly feeling a deeper sense of sorrow.

For a moment, the joy of hearing his daughter had a Spirit Root was slightly diluted, causing him to sigh softly.

Qi Chuan walked out of the hall and headed toward the main gate. Passing through the courtyard, he saw the little girl Qi Yumeng playing with mud in a corner, her face dirty and muddy.

"Xiao Meng, if you keep playing like that, you might get a scolding from your parents later," Qi Chuan laughed and said.

At this moment, he had once again applied the Illusion Body Talisman and Concealing Breath Talisman to his chest.

Hearing his voice, Xiao Yumeng turned around and saw the uncle she had seen earlier coming out again to leave.

"I’m not afraid!" Xiao Yumeng said in a cute hum, then added, "Uncle, are you leaving?"

"Yes, I am," Qi Chuan replied.

"Then, goodbye Uncle," Xiao Yumeng waved her small, fair hand at Qi Chuan, then turned back to her mud play.

"Hmm, goodbye,"

Seeing this, Qi Chuan also smiled, then turned back for one last look around the courtyard and the hall where his uncle and aunt were, his gaze lingering briefly. Then, he turned his head and headed for the main gate, quickly disappearing beyond its threshold.

...

Feeling a bit complicated, Qi Chuan left White Stone Town, his heart gradually calming down.

He glanced back at White Stone Town, then used the Floating Technique, heading in the direction beyond Red Maple Valley.

White Stone Town lay on the outskirts of the Red Maple Valley mountain range. Not far from there was a deserted area with few people.

As the Spiritual Land of the Qi Family, a cultivation clan, there lay a Tier One Upper Grade Spirit Vein. It couldn’t possibly be near any mortal market, and it was embedded within the remote wilderness.

At this moment, Qi Chuan had changed into a simple Magic Robe of the Qi Family Main Lineage disciple, using the Illusion Body Talisman to alter his appearance, and the Concealing Breath Talisman hid his aura, making him appear as an ordinary Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivator, flying outward from Red Maple Valley.

Soon, he distanced himself from White Stone Town and also exited the Red Maple Valley range.

Just after flying out of Red Maple Valley, Qi Chuan paused in mid-air. Looking around, he chose a direction, just about to return to the Wind Moon Sect.

However, as his gaze swept over a small cluster of low hills northeast of Red Maple Valley, his eyes stopped, though his expression remained calm, he was a bit surprised inwardly.

Because he saw in that area, on a verdant low hill, a hidden light descending. It was the light of a cultivator’s flight, looking rather sneaky.

Moreover, because of the Perfection Level Clarity Spirit Eye, even though the person’s aura was well-concealed, Qi Chuan could still discern that their cultivation level was actually at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage Realm!

"This person seems to have some issues..."

One could easily deduce that there’s probably a reason someone would carefully sneak around near the Red Maple Valley mountain range when at Foundation Establishment.
