Eighty years of slumber, and Xu Ruchu has awakened.
The crowd hurried back to the Xu family, but Shen Nan, being an outsider, left midway.
In the Elder Council, there were more than ten people, all direct descendants of the Xu family.
Xu Mo instructed the others to wait outside and brought in Xu Duo Chou, Xu Feng, Xu Rushan, Xu Ru Hai, and the newly promoted Xu Huiying.
Farmland was in a secret chamber preparing a type of elixir. Upon seeing Xu Mo return, he said, "Family Head, the eldest sister has just woken up. Her Yuan Ying is still a bit weak, but fortunately, she can communicate. After so many years of slumber, we are unsure of her exact condition. Please understand her situation first so that I can prepare the appropriate medicine."
Xu Mo nodded in gratitude. Farmland's term at the Xu family had long since ended, but due to Xu Ruchu's situation, Shennong Valley allowed Farmland to remain until matters concerning Xu Ruchu were resolved.
Xu Mo walked to the bedside and gently held Xu Ruchu's hand.
Xu Ruchu's hand remained cold; her physical body had long since perished. Farmland had preserved her body with medicinal substances, allowing her Yuan Ying to have a familiar environment and preventing immediate dissolution.
Through Xu Ruchu's arm, Xu Mo sensed her presence with his spiritual energy.
Xu Mo's face was filled with surprise as he communicated with Xu Ruchu through their Yuan Ying; outsiders could not hear their conversation.
In less than two minutes, the joy on Xu Mo's face faded away slowly, replaced by helplessness and sadness.
Ten minutes later, reluctantly releasing Xu Ruchu's hand, his eyes were slightly moist.
Farmland silently asked, "Family Head, how is it?"
"She feels a bit cold, and she is scared."
Farmland nodded and said, "Arctic Chicken Blood is cold in nature; it's normal for her to feel cold. I'll prepare a medicine for her, and that issue will be resolved. But why is she scared?"
Xu Mo sighed gently and replied, "She doesn't recognize me anymore; she doesn't recognize anyone."
"Uh..."
Sister Xu has actually lost her memory!
Xu Feng smiled bitterly. I was wrong; I really was wrong. I thought only mortals could lose their memory, but I didn't expect that cultivators could as well.
Farmland tapped his head, struggling to think of any medicine that could treat amnesia. Finally, he said, "The elder sister has suffered severe injuries, which unexpectedly affected Yuan Ying and caused her to lose her memory. I think we should first help elder sister Yuan Ying grow stronger and gain the ability to possess another body, then we can find a way to restore her memory."
Xu Feng had only seen similar scenarios on television in his past life. One hit, and the female lead lost her memory; another hit, and she was fine again.
If Xu Feng suggested hitting Xu Ruchu with a stick, he feared that he wouldn't even reach Xu Ruchu before being beaten to death himself.
None of them had a good solution and could only follow Farmland's plan for now—first rescue her.
Farmland continued, "Based on elder sister's condition, she will surely recover within ten years. During this time, the family head can look for a suitable body for elder sister or an unborn fetus."
Possession means taking someone else's body for oneself; simply put, it's about stealing another's physical form.
There are three methods for Yashe. The first is to forcibly seize and utilize a living body, but this method is too domineering, and no one dares to use it. The second is to borrow a corpse, using a recently deceased body that is well-preserved. The third is to seize an infant, entering the pregnant woman's body before the child is born; this situation is also referred to as reincarnation.
Xu Feng used the second method, but in a passive manner.
After everyone exited the secret chamber, Xu Ruchu's matter could only be handled according to Farmland's instructions: first strengthen Yuan Ying, then seize a new body for rebirth. As for which method of rebirth to use, it was not Xu Feng's concern. With the Xu family's power so great, finding a suitable body would not be difficult.
Upon leaving the Elder Council, Xu Duo Chou said to Xu Feng, "You have just advanced; why not join Xu Huiying and enter seclusion for another month? A month later, the family will hold a Promotion Banquet for you both, and you can rise from Golden Blade Disciple to become an elder of the Xu family." Xu Mo also looked at Xu Feng.
The Promotion Banquet is a customary gathering in Xian Dao used for building momentum. It serves two purposes: to network with various forces and to showcase one's own strength. The Xu family's advancement of a Great Perfection Stage expert is something that would attract much envy.
In comparison, Xu Feng's Divine Separation Stage advancement could almost be overlooked.
Xu Feng replied, "Head of the family, elders, I will set aside the matter of seclusion for now. I need to rush back to Liuxiang Kingdom; I have been away for so long and have some concerns. If time permits, I will return before the Promotion Banquet."
This time in seclusion had lasted eighty years. The departure of the Lord of Fragrance was likely no longer a secret, and he wondered how Liuxiang Kingdom was faring; he should at least go back and take a look.
Xu Mo said, "Liuxiang Kingdom has indeed had some recent movements. The Spiritual Energy in that country has suddenly strengthened over the past few decades. Some forces from Zheguo are already preparing to claim it for themselves. No one knows where the Lord of Fragrance has gone; he hasn't shown his face in decades."
The Lord of Fragrance holds immense renown among major forces; however, he remains uninvolved with others and only cares for his own Liuxiang Kingdom, which deters others from crossing him.
Although the Xu family did not rank among the top ten in Xian Dao, their strength should not be underestimated. The head of the family always has access to information from Modern Clerk.
Hearing this from Xu Mo made Xu Feng even more anxious. He immediately bid farewell and hurried back to Liuxiang Kingdom.
Xu Duo Chou saw Xu Feng run away as soon as he emerged from the gate and couldn't help but say, "Xu Feng has only twenty years before he must duel Silverbeard. If he doesn't focus on his cultivation and instead gets distracted by other matters, he might face dire consequences in twenty years. I wonder what Xu Feng's background is?"
Xu Duo Chou was solely focused on martial prowess and didn't pay much attention to other matters, surprisingly unaware of Xu Feng's details.
Xu Mo said, "According to the news from Seventh Elder, Xu Feng hails from the New Moon Sect and has founded the Koukou Group. He is regarded as the number one expert in Liuxiang Kingdom. Given that Liuxiang Kingdom is somewhat isolated, with his current strength at the Divine Separation Stage, he can barely be considered the top expert. However, recently, cultivators in Liuxiang Kingdom have been advancing rapidly, so whether he remains the best is uncertain."
Xu Duo Chou asked, "Since he is the leader of a sect, why would he come to our Xu family to become a Golden Blade Disciple?"
Xu Mo replied, "Xu Feng came to Zheguo two hundred years ago, reportedly to find Cai Shujun from Li Hua Palace. At that time, he was only at the Golden Core Stage. It wasn't strange for him to join our Xu family; fortunately, As Before took him in. Otherwise, our Xu family would have missed out on a talent."
Xu Huiying said, "Xu Feng offended Wuwei Academy for the sake of my elder sister; he is a person who values loyalty and affection. I might as well go to Liuxiang Kingdom and secretly protect him."
Xu Mo responded, "There's no need for that. Xu Feng is not reckless. The fact that he has advanced to the Divine Separation Stage so quickly must mean he has his secrets. This person will surely soar in the future; we just need to befriend him and not pry too much into his affairs."
Xu Duo Chou stated, "In twenty years, if Xu Feng cannot defeat Silverbeard, we must ensure his life is preserved at all costs."
Xu Mo nodded and said, "Indeed. This matter concerns not only our Xu family; Pingdao Sect has also made arrangements."
Xu Feng hurried towards Liuxiang Kingdom from the Teleportation Array in Sanyang Town. He had traveled this route many times before; many of the disciples responsible for teleportation recognized him. Xu Feng attempted to communicate with them but found that these Shenxing Sect disciples were all proud and arrogant, constantly talking about making money—money makes things easier.
Xu Feng wasn't short on money; however, Shenxing Sect's attitude lacked warmth. Considering his future dealings between Liuxiang Kingdom and Zheguo, he would frequently need to use the Teleportation Array. If possible, it would be best to have his own Teleportation Array like Jingcheng Auction; that would save a lot of trouble. In case anything happened with Koukou Group, he could respond promptly.
Two hours later, Xu Feng emerged from the Teleportation Array at Jingcheng Auction.
"Who are you?" As soon as he appeared, someone nearby shouted.
Xu Feng looked around and saw that everyone next to the Teleportation Array were new faces, all at a higher level of strength, above Yuan Ying.
"I’m looking for Hong Guang," Xu Feng said. No need for explanations; having an acquaintance made things much easier.
One person replied, "You know Hong Guang? Alright, let me call him over."
Someone shouted, and Hong Guang hurriedly ran over from a distance. Upon seeing Xu Feng, he exclaimed, "Ah, it's Xu... Senior."
Halfway through calling out, Hong Guang realized he could no longer see through Xu Feng's strength and quickly changed his address to "Senior."
The hostility from the others dissipated. This Teleportation Array at Jingcheng Auction was a private one, and to facilitate use, there was also a "port" in Xibai City. Only acquaintances could use this Teleportation Array.
Hong Guang explained, "This is Xu Feng, the Group Leader of Koukou Group from Liuxiang Kingdom. He has a good relationship with our Jingcheng Auction."
The others clearly recognized Xu Feng's name. In Liuxiang Kingdom, Xu Feng was quite influential; any outsider wanting to understand the situation would first need to know him. Unfortunately, they had only heard the name but had not met him in person.
The group showed expressions of realization and reluctantly called him "Senior," but they were not particularly impressed by him.
Hong Guang pulled Xu Feng outside and said, "Xu Senior, you arrived just in time. If you had come a bit later, I would have already left Liuxiang Kingdom. The people you know have all been reassigned; I’m the last one here. Let me introduce you to someone so that everyone can get acquainted."
Indeed, there were movements in Liuxiang Kingdom; Jingcheng Auction was undergoing a major overhaul, but no one knew what had happened.
In a room to the left of the Teleportation Array, Xu Feng met the cultivator he was supposed to see.
Hong Guang respectfully said, "This is our new owner, Luo Changzhu, of Jingcheng Auction. Owner, this is Xu Feng from Liuxiang Kingdom, the Group Leader of Koukou Group. Group Leader Xu has been away for a long time and just returned from Zheguo."
Xu Feng replied, "Luo Changzhu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Luo Changzhu had the strength of Divine Separation Late Stage, with a rugged face that did not resemble that of a businessman.
Luo Changzhu nodded and said, "Group Leader Xu, I hear you are the top expert in Liuxiang Kingdom. I hope the issues in Liuxiang Kingdom can be resolved without involving our Jingcheng Auction; otherwise, the consequences will be beyond what your Liuxiang Kingdom can bear."
Xu Feng felt confused but did not want to ask too many questions. He said, "I certainly do not dare to claim to be the top expert. Although I am unaware of what has happened in Liuxiang Kingdom, I believe there must be a good solution that will not implicate the innocent."
Luo Changzhu replied, "That would be best. Hong Guang, inform the disciples that Jingcheng Auction will cease operations for three months and will reopen once things have calmed down in Liuxiang Kingdom."
"Understood." Hong Guang transformed from a former expert guard into Lao Luo.
Xu Feng did not linger any longer. He left Jingcheng Auction and flew directly to Bailu Mountain. His first priority was to ensure the safety of Koukou Group before understanding the situation further.
