Chapter 619 – Silk Flowers

Chapter 619 – Silk Flowers
Sheng Qingyun was shocked, one day the aura will completely disappear, it’s impossible, right?

However, she thought about it carefully and realized that if she could never find the reason for the disappearance of the aura, there might really be this day.

For a while, she had such complicated feelings that she didn’t even know what to say.

If that day really came, and the aura in heaven and earth completely disappeared, even if she had the cultivation of a YuanYing, the strength she could exert would be extremely limited.

She remained silent for a long time, and finally let out a light sigh.

“You’re right, I’m the one who didn’t think long enough, sitting on the sidelines is ultimately not the best strategy.”

Xu Chuniang shook her head, “Master Ancestor is merely worried about my safety, after all, the 100,000 mountains you mentioned are not a good place.

If the disappearance of aura is truly related to the Western Region, then this trip, I must go.”

Sheng Qingyun knew that he couldn’t persuade her, so he stopped.

“When do you plan to move?”

Xu Chuniang pondered for a moment, “There’s no rush, let’s wait for everything to fall into place in the sect.”

Right now, the Easy Sect still needed her to sit in on it, so she naturally wouldn’t choose to leave at this time.

Although the Blood Infant Old Monster’s strength was greatly reduced after he used a secret method to get away, he wouldn’t easily show his face in a short period of time.

However, apart from the Blood Infant Old Monster, the Mixed Yuan Head Apprentice had also escaped, and the possibility of retaliating against the Easy Sect could not be ruled out.

Relying on Master Sheng alone, there would inevitably be negligence.

Xu Chuniang intended to rearrange a new set of sect protection formations before she left.

However, with her current formation level, she was not yet able to set up a grade four formation, and if she wanted to rearrange the clan protection formation, she would have to wait for her formation attainments to break through to the Grandmaster level.

After hearing her intentions, Sheng Qingyun’s heart dropped.

The later the formation went, the more esoteric and difficult it was to understand.

Breaking through from a third level formation master to a grandmaster level was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Even if Xu Chuniang’s talent wasn’t bad, it would still take several decades.

“Then, next, are you planning to just go into seclusion and dive into the way of formations?”

Xu Chuniang remained silent for a moment and slowly opened her mouth.

“I want to make a trip back, to my mundane home first.”

Sheng Qingyun understood, but couldn’t say anything to comfort her.

When one embarks on the path of cultivation, one becomes a person of two worlds with their mundane relatives.

And mortals have a short lifespan and are not destined to accompany them for too long.

After hundreds of years of cultivation, she couldn’t even remember what her parents looked like.

“You’ve been away for so long, it’s time to go back and take a look.”

Xu Chuniang nodded, and after bidding farewell to her master ancestor, she set out on the road down the mountain alone.

The return journey that once took three months to reach when she was at the Qi Practicing Stage was now only a few days away.

Following the memories of the past, she stepped into Wuchang County.

Only as far as the eye could see, things had long since changed.

Looking at the streets, the teahouses and drinking establishments that were very different in style from a hundred years ago, she only had a sudden sense of the passing of the years.

Xu Chuniang stood at the corner of the street, looking at the people coming and going on the street, suddenly had an urge to turn around and leave.

A hundred years had passed since she had last returned home.

Not to mention her aged mother, her elder brother and sister, younger siblings, and even her two young nephews, were all likely not alive.

Perhaps the Xu family was still around, but no one remembered her anymore.

Xu Chuniang suddenly burst into tears, she had worked very hard on her cultivation over the years, becoming the YuanYing ZhenJun that everyone envied, but when she returned to her homeland, there was no one waiting for her to return home.

“Miss, have you encountered any difficulties?”

An old voice rang out, it turned out to be the old woman selling silk flowers next to her who heard the cries and followed her voice to ask. Xu Chuniang raised her head, her eyes slightly red and swollen.

Seeing that the questioner was a charitable-looking old woman, she couldn’t help but develop some trust and goodwill.

She wiped a handful of tears from her eyes, sat on the stone steps by the stall, and spoke to the old woman selling silk flowers about the worries in her heart.

“I left home when I was young, and I haven’t returned home for many years now, so I was crying because I was afraid that my family was no longer alive.”

“I see.”

The old woman selling silk flowers sighed softly and took another close look at her.

“Seeing that you’re not very old, even if you’ve been away from home for many years, you should have your high church in place.”

Xu Chuniang wanted to speak, and finally only said, “The last time I left home, my father passed away, and my mother, she, she is already very old ……”

“Then there are brothers and sisters at home?”

Xu Chuniang just wanted to nod, don’t know what to think of, look gloomy, only shook her head without saying anything.

“I understand, is a poor child ah.”

The old woman looked at her, her expression filled with softness.

“When one lives in the world, one must always look ahead, a day of happiness is a day, a day of sadness and hardship is a day, and the day goes on as usual.”

Saying this, she picked up a brightly colored silk flower from the stall and gently pinned it in Xu Chuniang’s hair.

“Crying is crying, but you’re in your prime, after crying you still have to move on, there’s no hurdle you can’t pass in this life.

You’re still young now, and one day in the future, you’ll understand Granny’s words.”

Xu Chuniang blushed a little, in terms of her real age, she was even older than her mother-in-law.

It was only because of her cultivation that she appeared younger.

In fact, she understood all of this.

It’s just that being in the middle of the situation, she is somewhat unwilling to see through it.

Xu Chuniang slowly dried her tears and solemnly thanked the old woman.

“Thank you granny, I feel much better.”

The old woman smiled, the creases on her face deepening but making her brows even more charitable.

“Go home! Even if your family is gone, your home is always still there. Even if it changes places and looks different, the home in your heart will always remain the same.”

Xu Chuniang nodded, and with a slight movement of her fingers, a spiritual qi overflowed from her fingertips and drilled into the old woman’s body, quietly improving her physique.

With that, she took out a jade hairpin and handed it to the old woman.

“This jade hairpin is something I begged from a very spiritual place, wearing it with you can keep you safe, consider it as the money for the silk flower.”

Seeing that the jade hairpin was very spiritual, the old woman quickly waved her hand and refused.

“This is just an ordinary silk flower, it’s not worth much money, how can I accept such a good hairpin from you.”

“Silk flowers are not worth much, but granny’s heart is worth a lot, the jade hairpin is not worth much, it’s just a little bit of my heart.”

After Xu Chuniang finished speaking, she didn’t wait for her to refuse, so she directly put down the jade hairpin and walked away.

The old woman picked up the jade hairpin and was about to chase after it, when she looked up, where was the girl’s trail?
She held the jade hairpin, only to feel a gentle touch in her hand.

When she looked down carefully, the jade hairpin was so skillfully crafted that there was no trace of artificial carving, which made it even more extraordinary.

The old woman recalled that the woman was wearing clothes that looked ordinary and unremarkable, but they were all made of heavenly material, and she didn’t know what kind of material they were made of.

All kinds of strange, let her have a kind of intuition, the identity of the woman just now, must be either rich or noble.

Xu Chunniang left the old woman’s silk flower stall, looking throughout the entire Wuchang County, have not been able to find a small Ping’an County.

The original Ping’an County, where the Xu House is located in Shuanggui Lane, has long been changed in general appearance.
