Finding the Dao of Alchemy Master

Upon hearing his son's voice again, Lu Qing'an fell into a brief silence and took the Sound Transmission Jade Slip from Xu Xuanyu.

"Dad, I miss you a little..." Lu Zhengran said, his head bowed.

Xu Qingying was sitting to the side when she suddenly heard Lu Qing'an's voice. Her heart stirred, but she quickly steadied herself and her eyes hardened again.

Having made the choice, there's no going back.

"How have you been lately?" Xu Qingying asked, her demeanor completely composed.

Hearing that familiar voice, Lu Qing'an said calmly, "Everything is fine, and the children have adapted to life here. As for Yunyi and Xuanyu, don't worry, I'm a sentimental person and will take good care of them."

He had already let go of his resentment.

She made her own choices, and he, too, has found his own path forward.

Now, this place feels more like the home he wanted.

Lu Qing'an glanced at the stone pavilion without realizing it. Xue Tianfei was sitting on the pavilion, resting her chin on her hands, looking in his direction.

The moment their eyes met, Xue Tianfei smiled.

"That's good. I'm going to cultivate now. Zhengran, you two chat, and put away your Sound Transmission Jade Slip when you're done."

After Xu Qingying finished speaking, she turned and left without pausing.

"Yes, Mother," Lu Zhengran said.

Hearing that Xu Qingying had left, Lu Qing'an looked at the Sound Transmission Jade Slip in his hand and asked, "Is there anything else you want to discuss with Father?"

Everyone has their own choices. His son chose to stay with his ex-wife, and he didn't blame his son. Besides, the child still has his blood in him.

"Father, after I break through to the Body Integration Realm, can I go over there to see you?" Lu Zhengran asked tentatively.

He kept his head down as he said this.

He's been thinking about what happened that day a lot lately.

He always felt that he had chosen his mother and was somewhat sorry to his father.

My father must be very sad.

"Alright, you should focus on your cultivation. When you finally arrive, your father will come to pick you up."

"Really?! Yes, Dad, I want to say sorry to you..."

Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled, "You haven't done anything to wrong your father. On the contrary, your father has thought about it carefully and realized that he has been a bit strict with you since you were little."

His parents left to work in another city shortly after he was born, and they died unexpectedly on their way. So he was raised by his grandmother from a young age.

He projected his own past experiences onto other boys.

I believe a real man should stand tall and upright.

Lu Zhengran buried his head deep in his chest, his nose tingling, and said, "Father, I miss you all so much..."

The longer they were apart, the more painful it became for him.

He missed his older sister, his younger sister, and his father...

After ending the telepathic communication, Lu Qing'an looked at Xu Xuanyu standing to the side.

"Alright, let's go."

"Brother-in-law, where are we going?"

"Just follow along." Lu Qing'an didn't say much, and directly led Xu Xuanyu towards the stone pavilion.

When he approached Xue Tianfei, Xue Tianfei smiled and asked, "It's rare to see that expression on your face just now. Who were you communicating with telepathically?"

Lu Qing'an: "Ex-wife."

Xue Tianfei was all smiles one second, but the next second she was no longer smiling.

My ex-wife...

"It's mainly my son." Seeing that Xue Tianfei was stunned for a while, Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled, no longer teasing Xue Tianfei.

Xue Tianfei blinked, then composed herself and said, "Oh, I see. Speaking of which, your son must be just as handsome as you, right? Haha..."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you sure you want to come along?"

"Old Xiao went to arrange accommodations for his two apprentices, so I'm all alone here. I might as well come with him; besides, I might be able to help you."

Her main reason was that she wanted to spend more time with Lu Qing'an.

You can treat this outing as a date!

"Okay, let's go then."

Lu Qing'an shattered the void, grabbed Xu Xuanyu's shoulder, and plunged into the void.

Xue Tianfei followed closely behind.

Before long, the three stepped out of the void and stood high in the sky.

Ahead, a solitary peak rises abruptly from the ground, towering into the clouds, its body verdant and shrouded in mist. The mountain air is thick with Demonic Qi, which glistens faintly in the sunlight.

Above the mountain, terraced fields meander and spiral, each a carefully cultivated field of magical herbs, with various rare magical herbs growing interspersed among the ridges.

At the top of the mountain stands a cluster of ancient buildings.

Green tiles and flying eaves appear and disappear among the clouds and mist.

Between the halls, the flickering light of Pill Furnace occasionally illuminated the sky with a faint red glow. Wisps of smoke, some blue and some purple, rose gently and slowly dissipated in the wind.

Lu Qing'an and his two companions had just appeared.

At this moment, Fang Qiuhe quickly flew up from the foot of the mountain and arrived in front of Lu Qing'an and the other two.

"Senior!!!"

Fang Qiuhe quickly bowed, maintaining the same perfectly standard 90-degree bow.

"There's no need for that. You said you finally have news of your master?"

Fang Qiuhe nodded repeatedly, then secretly glanced at Xue Tianfei and Xu Xuanyu. When she saw Xue Tianfei, her eyes lit up.

Xue Tianfei!!!

"I couldn't contact my master, but I heard from a senior uncle that my master appeared somewhere!" Fang Qiuhe quickly replied.

"Oh? Where? I happen to have a formation here. You mentioned in your telepathic message that you have an item here that bears your master's aura, right?"

Since he couldn't contact the Dao of Alchemy Master, he figured he might as well use the array to find him.

With a general location in mind, finding it using Luo Danhong's formation wouldn't be difficult.

"Yes! Seniors, please follow me!"

Fang Qiuhe respectfully led the three of them to the mountain peak.

There are many buildings here, and the fragrance of elixirs wafts from each one, suggesting that people are refining elixirs at each one.

"I remember your master only took you as his disciple, right? Why are there so many people here?" Lu Qing'an asked.

Fang Qiuhe quickly replied, "Before my master went out, he instructed me to take on more disciples for him."

"He's really enjoying being a hands-off master."

Fang Qiuhe smiled wryly, "There's nothing I can do, that's just how he is. We've arrived, and this Pill Cauldron bears the aura left behind by my master."

Lu Qing'an looked at the Pill Cauldron in front of him, which was emitting a rich fragrance and a powerful aura. He then turned to Fang Qiuhe and said, "The formation I'm using to find him is a sacrificial offering. If it's placed into this Pill Cauldron, then the Pill Cauldron will become unusable afterward."

He recognized the Pill Cauldron; it was the precious cauldron passed down from the lineage of Dao of Alchemy Master.

It has a history of tens of millions of years.

"Oh? I see..."

"You can look for other items, such as clothes left behind by your master, or frequently used items."

"But my master rarely returns, and many things no longer bear his presence..."

Over time, the traces left on some things will dissipate.

Unless it's something that's been used for a very long time.

For example, this Pill Cauldron in front of us.
