Chapter 42: Lou Mu Bai Advances

 

At the same time Lou Mu Bai was advancing.

Within the restricted area of Yan’zhou Country’s Imperial Palace, a white-haired old man opened his eyes and dashed out of the restricted area. He stood in the air, standing in the direction of the General’s Mansion.

“What a strong energy fluctuation during advancement.” He narrowed his eyes, then laughed: “The Lou Clan has birthed another Sword King. Not bad, not bad.”

In the main hall of the Imperial Palace, a middle-aged man in purple clothes walked out of the main hall, felt the Spiritual Force surge in the direction of the General’s Mansion, then touched his Buddhist beads in his hands, “The Lou Clan has birthed another Sword King. Lou Mu Bai is indeed exceptionally talented.”

In the Imperial Capital, a green-clothed old man expressed surprise within a hillside wooden house that sat in an area with plentiful Spiritual Force where birds sang and fragrant flowers bloomed1, “Such a powerful and grand advancement. Lou Clan’s little boy truly is worthy of being the number one prodigy of the Empire!”

In a courtyard of a distinguished clan, there were three people currently chatting in their seats, when suddenly they felt the Spiritual Force incessantly surge in one direction. They immediately stood up and stared, transfixed, in the direction of the Lou Clan.

After the Spirit Clouds in the sky scattered, one of the middle-aged men said: “The new Sword King of the Lou Family, it must be Lou Mu Bai.”

“Didn’t he just advance to an Advanced-Phase Sword Spirit not long ago? How did he advance to the Sword King Stage so fast?” A young man asked with a complicated expression.

“Marrow Cleansing Pill. I guess he must have obtained the Marrow Cleansing Pill.” A light shone from the eyes of a man not yet twenty years of age behind the two men.

“Yes. Yun Lan and Yun Jin both received a Marrow Cleansing Pill from Lou Mu Yan. How could Lou Mu Bai, who’s Lou Mu Yan’s eldest brother, not have it.” The man who spoke before clenched his fist with a face of certainty. Then he turned to the middle-aged man with excitement in his eyes, “Father, the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill seems to be even better than what the rumours said.”

“Marrow Cleansing Pill.” The middle-aged man murmured, then laughed aloud, “Let’s go visit the Lou Clan now to congratulate Lou Mu Bai’s advancement.”

An old woman sat cross-legged atop a deep pond. She retracted her gaze that fell on the sky, then immediately received a message from her family.

“Marrow Cleansing Pill?” The old woman stood up from atop the deep pond and walked on its surface towards the shore step by step. “For the clan, it looks like I must personally visit the Lou Clan.”

Similar scenes occurred across Yan’zhou Country. Lou Mu Bai’s advancement, accompanied with the previous situation on the Marrow Cleansing Pill, once again caused a sensation in the entire Imperial Capital.

The General’s Mansion in the Imperial Capital.

A gentle, handsome, white-clothed man walked out of the room in the courtyard. He was tall and slender with an ethereal, otherworldly temperament. His entire person naturally exuded a feeling of a fallen immortal.

“Grandpa, father, Yan’er, Xiao Ting.” Lou Mu Bai’s eyes were dyed with joy. Even he didn’t think that he could borrow the broadened meridians from consuming the Marrow Cleansing Pill to madly absorb Spiritual Force and unexpectedly advance to a Sword King.

“Congratulations eldest brother on becoming a Sword King expert.” Lou Mu Yan naturally hugged Lou Mu Bai’s arm, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile.

Lou Mu Bai reached out a hand and poked Lou Mu Yan’s small, pretty nose, “This time, it was all thanks to Yan’er’s pill.”

“Eldest brother, aren’t you a little too abnormal. It’s only been a few years and you left me behind so far already.” Lou Mu Ting raised his eyebrow and huffed, but within, he was proud of having such an elder brother.

Lou Mu Bai glanced at him and said: “Well who told you to run around everywhere day and night and not focus on cultivating. The fact that you can even reach Middle-Phase Sword Spirit was because of your talent.”

He glanced at his sister who smiled like a flower, then looked back at his younger brother with a smile, yet not quite a smile, and added another stab: “If you stay this idle, I believe that Yan’er will surpass you soon.”

Lou Mu Ting rolled his eyes, “As if I’ll be surpassed by this little girl.”

“Second brother, then let’s compete to see who can advance to Sword King first.” Lou Mu Yan really liked this homely feeling and atmosphere. She smiled and looked at Lou Mu Ting in provocation.

“Sure, let’s compete then. When you lose, don’t cry.”

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at Lou Mu Ting— she hadn’t cried since embarking on the journey of cultivation.

With her natural endowments and experience, it was exceptionally easy to surpass Lou Mu Ting. “Who knows who’ll be the one crying then. Let’s wait and see.”

The two played and laughed around, then Lou Mu Yan told them what occurred at the auction yesterday.

Grandfather and the rest all agreed with her approach. Instead of hiding things and being coveted by others, they might as well make it public. Since everyone knew it, then the secret would no longer be a secret.

What made grandfather and Lou Mo Yu relieved was that Lou Mu Yan really grew up, was sensible, and knew how to be considerate.

The fact that Lou Mu Yan could gift the Marrow Cleaning Pill to Yun Lan proved that she put her aunt in the palace, who loved her, in her heart. It showed that her family still held a significant place in her heart.

“Although not many people dared to scheme against the Lou Clan, but Yan’er still needs to be more careful in the future to prevent vile people from causing trouble.” Lou Mo Yu still had some concern about the safety of his daughter, “How about during this time, you can cultivate by Mu Bai’s side.”

“Daddy, I can’t always keep growing beneath your wings, I won’t go far that way.” Lou Mu Yan’s heart warmed as she radiated self-confidence, making her appear beautiful and refined.

She looked at them with determination in her eyes: “I will continue to work hard towards the path of the strong. Even if before me is a path full of thorns, I’ll still charge forward and create my own path towards strength.”

Upon hearing what sounded like an oath of her determination and resoluteness, they were stunned.

“Alright! As expected of my Lou Clan’s child. This firm heart of a cultivator is the most precious.” Grandfather’s eyes revealed gratification and admiration—he would be the first to support his family’s Yan’er’s grand aspirations.

After a pause, grandfather added: “Yan’er is right. Sword Cultivation is essentially Heaven-defying, so one cannot cultivate with fear. It takes a firm heart of Dao to become a strong person. This situation could be considered Yan’er’s test, let’s let her do what she wants.”

“Thank you grandpa!” Lou Mu Yan let go of Lou Mu Bai and affectionately shook her grandfather’s arm. Even she, herself, didn’t expect to behave like this one day, so natural and genuine.

“I thought incorrectly, Yan’er’s choice is right.” His daughter’s words made Lou Mo Yu see through the murkiness of his mind. Previously, he and his wife were too afraid of their daughter getting hurt, so they protected her too well. But clearly the effect wasn’t good.

Now that his daughter radiated self-confidence, it also became his drive. He decided to comply with his daughter’s wishes and let her grow independently. He believed that his daughter wouldn’t let him down.

“Yan’er is so confident, we must work harder too.” Lou Mu Bai’s eyes were filled with determination and hope. He would also move forward courageously on the path of the strong.

Lou Mu Ting was also touched by his big brother and little sister’s determination and resoluteness. He couldn’t be left too far behind by them either. After returning to the frontier, he should also concentrate and devote his energy to cultivation.

The family happily talked about their experience in cultivation, and although Lou Mu Yan’s cultivation base was the lowest, but the opinions she raised from time to time caused them to reflect. Upon the end of their discussion, they quickly returned to their respective rooms and attempted to comprehend aided by the realisations from her words.

That day, many people came to visit the Lou Clan under the pretence of congratulating Lou Mu Bai on his advancement, but they were all sent away by the steward with the excuse that their Eldest Young Master was still consolidating his cultivation base.

Early the next morning, an imperial edict summoned Lou Mu Yan and Lou Mu Bai to the palace, breaking the peace in the Lou Clan.

Lou Mu Yan held the imperial edict in her hands with an understanding in her heart. The Imperial Family definitely wanted to know the origins of the Marrow Cleansing Pill or wanted to enquire about the Alchemist who refined the Marrow Cleansing Pill from her. But she had already prepared for this.
