Chapter 70. (1/2) Immortal Cultivation Extra 2
When Gu Fan had just established her foundation and discovered the barrier above the Earth, she suspected that a high-level cultivator might be present. However, after considering countless possibilities, she never expected Lu Ya to be that cultivator.
The cave master, the defensive talisman, the primordial spirit, and the ability to time travel during times of danger —everything seemed so reasonable.
At this point, Gu Fan could only accept it.
“When did you recover your cultivation?” Gu Fan gradually calmed down and asked in a low voice.
Lu Ya said: “While you were in seclusion, I went to the capital and formally rejected the government’s invitation. That night, something strange happened to my crystal core. In fact, there was another barrier inside my crystal core, which sealed all my cultivation. After I successfully overcame the calamity, the crystal core was shattered, and I also recovered my cultivated body, including all my memories.”
Gu Fan no longer had any doubts.
She sat with her back to him, wondering what she was thinking.
Lu Ya thought for a moment and said, “The Lu Ya with you is definitely me, but I am also more than just the superpower Lu Ya. If you can’t accept this, I understand, and I will never force you to continue to be my Taoist partner.”
Gu Fan was confused. She heard what he said, but it seemed as if she didn’t hear it, or perhaps she didn’t know how to respond.
She nodded blankly in response.
Lu Ya said: “You are already at the ninth level of the foundation-building stage, one step away from forming. Although there is spiritual energy on Earth, it is far less suitable for your cultivation than the cultivation continent.”
Gu Fan tilted her head slightly: “Can you take me back?”
Lu Ya: “Of course.”
When Gu Fan heard this, the past few decades flashed through her mind.
Although she had lived on Earth for more than fifty years, she actually didn’t remember much. Apart from the endless monsters, there were only a few people.
Xinghe and the others will all live a new life of their dreams. They have no spiritual roots and cannot practice cultivation. They will only grow old slowly on Earth until the end of their lives.
Gu Fan didn’t want to witness that scene. She wanted to always remember how they looked when they were young.
If Lu Ya was still there and accompanied her, Gu Fan would be willing to stay on Earth, but now, she could not convince herself that the master in the fusion stage behind her was the Lu Ya whom she knew, was familiar with and missed.
“I want to say goodbye to my friends first.”
“Should I go with you just to say goodbye, or should I explain everything to them?”
Gu Fan: “Explain clearly.”
If you don’t make it clear, what kind of farewell is it? If the four people from Xinghe thought they were still on Earth, they would definitely want to get together more often.
Lu Ya understood and walked over, holding Gu Fan’s shoulder with one hand.
As soon as Gu Fan raised her head, the scene in front of her suddenly changed. She was still in her cave a moment ago, and the next moment, she and Lu Ya appeared in a villa.
In the living room, Xinghe, Meng Lianying and Qingteng were talking. When they saw two people appearing out of nowhere, the three of them were stunned, and their eyes soon fell on Lu Ya’s face.
Meng Lianying: “…Oh my god, what kind of magic potion has Fanfan made? How come my cousin has become so young?”
Lu Ya chuckled, and with a thought, four bowls of tea appeared in the air and slowly fell onto the coffee table.
“What is this?” Fenghuo walked out of the kitchen and asked curiously.
Lu Ya said: “This is a spiritual spring. One cup can make people stay young forever and extend their life by a hundred years.”
A cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage can open up a space of his own, forming a small world of his own. Lu Ya also has such a small world. When he was transcending the tribulation, his connection with the small world was severed. When he succeeded in transcending the tribulation, the connection was restored. Lu Ya can use at will all kinds of natural treasures that he had accumulated over the past two hundred years in the small world.
Meng Lianying was quick to grab this good stuff.
Xinghe suddenly held his hand and looked at Gu Fan with concern: “Fanfan, have you ever cried?”
Gu Fan wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t.
She lowered her eyes with red circles. Lu Ya saw it, sighed softly, and explained it again to the four people.
Qing Teng frowned.
Xinghe was silent and thoughtful.
Meng Lianying and Fenghuo looked at each other. Fenghuo scratched his head and said to Lu Ya, “So, you are both the Yuan Master who saved Fanfan and the Master Lu we know, right?”
Lu Ya nodded: “Yes.”
Fenghuo: “Master Lu likes Fanfan and can give everything for Fanfan. Can you?”
Lu Ya put away the distracted look on his face and looked at Gu Fan, saying, “Yes.”
Fenghuo went to comfort Gu Fan: “Fanfan, don’t be sad. You see, he is still Master Lu, just an upgraded version of Master Lu. Isn’t this good? You two can go back to the cultivation world together, cultivate together and live forever together. Isn’t this what Master Lu has always longed for?”
Although Lu Ya never told them, they could all see that Lu Ya wanted to stay with Gu Fan forever.
Gu Fan couldn’t explain her feelings, but she knew that what Venerable Lu Ya took out must be good things.
“You guys drink the spiritual spring first.” Gu Fan smiled and looked at Xinghe and the other three encouragingly.
Eternal youth and a hundred years of extended life are such a great temptation for ordinary people.
Xinghe was the first to refuse: “After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, we are already much younger than our peers, but we will still die in a hundred years. It’s death sooner or later. It’s better to grow old slowly from now on and live a normal life.”
Otherwise, they will have children, and when the children grow old, they will still be young and will still be in pain watching the children die in front of them.
Qingteng was the second to refuse.
Since she refused, Fenghuo also lost interest in it. Meng Lianying sighed, leaned back on the sofa and said, “Forget it. If you all don’t want to live any longer, what’s the point of me living alone?”
Lu Ya respected their choice, put away the spiritual spring, took out four spiritual tablets, and gave them to the four people with a smile: “We are friends now. If you encounter troubles that you cannot solve in the future, you can break the spiritual tablets. If I have nothing to do, I will definitely come over.”
Meng Lianying stared at his smiling face and suddenly understood why Gu Fan was crying. He whispered, “You love to laugh too much. My cousin doesn’t laugh this much all year round.”
Lu Ya didn’t care. If he didn’t like to laugh, Gu Fan probably wouldn’t have had the courage to follow him in that cave.
He is lazy by nature and has been so serious in the past few decades because he was reincarnated into a military family in the apocalyptic world and shouldered heavy responsibilities. However, his character cannot be changed; otherwise, Marshal Lu Ya would not have collected luxury RVs, would not have thought of giving Gu Fan chocolates, and would not have secretly pinched her hand.
Outsiders think that Lu Ya is serious, but Gu Fan should know how many dirty words that serious Lu Ya has said to her.
Lu Ya walked back to Gu Fan, held her hand, looked at Xinghe and the other three and said, “We’re leaving now. See you later.”
As the voice fell, the two figures disappeared.
Qingteng’s heart tightened, and she asked worriedly, “Can Fanfan figure it out?”
Fenghuo laughed and said, “Unless Lu Ya dumps Fanfan when he arrives in the world of cultivation, Fanfan will come around sooner or later as long as she is willing.”
