Porter's Immortal Cultivation: I Have Level 5 Full Inscriptions

Chapter 287 Half a Year

The autumn wind is bleak.

The full moon shines high in the sky, its cool light illuminating every household.

Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for families to gather and enjoy the bright moon together.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since the Gong family was wiped out, and the atmosphere of panic that had hung over the alley has dissipated.

The government has solved the case of the palace, and several notorious bandits have been beheaded at Caishikou. It is said that a group of bandits called "A Gust of Wind" did it.

Inside the alley.

Every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the aroma of food wafted through the air.

A slender young woman with striking features and a sorrowful expression between her brows, her natural beauty could not be concealed even when dressed in ordinary maid's attire.

She was carrying a food box to the palace gate when she knelt down, took out incense sticks from the box and lit them, then took out many dishes and laid them out before devoutly kneeling and kowtowing.

"Miss Xiao..."

A neighbor, a woman, passed by and greeted her immediately.

"Why did you come to this unlucky place to worship?"

"Be careful not to bring bad luck back with you, or you'll get a scolding from your advisor."

Xiao Yue, a maid and grand-disciple of the Yang family, came to join the Yang family from Gongzhou Prefecture half a year ago.

She is sweet-looking, clever, and speaks in a soft voice, making her very endearing.

People in the alley felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing her, but couldn't quite place her, and naturally felt a sense of closeness.

It turns out that after the palace was destroyed, Hu Jiaoniang used her dream-entering technique to erase the true image of Wang Xiaoyue from the minds of all the neighbors.

I can't quite recall it when I think about it, I have no impression of it, but I know that such a person exists.

But when he actually met Xiao Yue, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Xiao Yue shook her head and said softly.

"It was the advisor who sent me."

"After all, they're only separated by a wall, and the two families used to have a good relationship."

"A group of strangers have become lost souls. Paying respects to them will make us feel better."

She was extremely intelligent and changed her accent back to the Gongzhou dialect in a very short time.

The woman immediately changed her tune and praised him.

"As expected of Scholar Yang, look at his spirit and magnanimity."

"Speaking of which, we all had banquets at the Gong family's house back then."

"This whole mess involving the Gong family is so unfortunate."

"I heard that someone was crying in this house last night."

"Yes, your advisor is right. I'll go back and prepare some offerings to pray for peace of mind."

The woman swayed her hips and hurried away.

Xiao Yue turned around and continued to bow a few more times, finishing the bow meticulously.

She had a palm-sized wooden puppet hanging from her waist. Suddenly, her eyes darted around, and seeing that no one was around, she let out a sharp, shrill voice.

"My lord... cough cough, Yue'er, how can a master kneel before a servant? This is against the natural order and violates the fundamental principles of morality."

"That's not right, that's not right."

Xiao Yue, also known as Wang Xiaoyue, the former Princess Yue'an of the Yan Kingdom, gently shook her head.

In the six months since, the girl's face has gained a more mature look.

"Grandpa, the previous dynasty has fallen. I've always considered myself an ordinary person since birth. Even if I have that bloodline, who is more noble than whom?"

"Although I didn't want to harm them, they did die for me."

"It's only right that I kneel down."

As she spoke, she quickly tidied up the food box and looked up.

The two main gates of the palace were kicked open by force. The two gate panels were later pieced together, and the carpenter haphazardly patched up the gaps with a few broken boards.

Now, the black lacquered gate with copper nails looks quite absurd, with several tattered patches on it.

For the past six months, no one has dared to take over the Gong residence, not only because the entire family has died, but also because the courtyard is large and the buildings are too damaged. Buying it would mean spending a large sum of money to rebuild it, which is not worthwhile, so it has been left standing there.

Xiao Yue didn't look at it for long, picked up the food box and turned to go back.

The wooden carving in his waistband kept talking.

"Yue'er, to be on the safe side, if you can marry him, it's not impossible to use the blessed land as your dowry."

"I see that this kid is making rapid progress in martial arts. With the help of the spiritual energy of this blessed place, he may really be able to break through and become a Grandmaster of Golden Marrow by the end of next year."

"I have the potential to become a Martial Saint in the future, so marrying you would be a good match."

"It's just that his legal wife is too powerful; she's actually a demon immortal. But what is your status? At least being a secondary wife wouldn't be a bad deal."

Xiao Yue blushed, stomped her foot, and complained in a low voice.

"Grandpa, why are you saying that again?"

"The advisor did not have those kinds of feelings for me."

"Besides, my master is even thinking of becoming the advisor's concubine. If I get involved, wouldn't that create a huge mess?"

"It's fine as it is now."

The wooden carving on his waist shook its head violently, and the wood creaked and groaned.

"You're wrong, you're wrong, Yue'er. You should know that it's always good to strike first."

"His master is hoping you'll get married and have children soon, to continue your bloodline..."

Xiao Yue rolled her eyes after hearing this.

"He also said that I must find a son-in-law to live with me, and that any children I have will take my surname."

"You want my advisor to become a live-in son-in-law and take my surname?"

"The promised dowry of eight treasures is gone; all that's left are two pills, two cultivation techniques, and one magic weapon."

Why would someone want to marry me?

The wood carving was immediately speechless, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Master...this is outrageous."

"What a disgrace to my daughter..."

However, having long been accustomed to being a servant, he immediately and habitually defended Emperor Yan Mo.

"The master is suffering too."

"The things he left you were all carefully selected."

"Two great medicines, one for breaking through to Martial Saint, and one for breaking through to True Person; both are supreme holy medicines."

"The two great manuals, one martial and one Taoist, complement each other and are called the Taiyin Guizhen Manual. It is both martial and Taoist and comes from the Taiyin Sect, a great sect that was destroyed by the Yan Kingdom. It is an unparalleled treasure."

"The two great manuals, one martial and one Taoist, complement each other and are called the Taiyin Guizhen Manual. It is both martial and Taoist and comes from the Taiyin Sect, a great sect that was destroyed by the Yan Kingdom. It is an unparalleled treasure."

"When combined with its inherited secret treasure, the Moon Soul Twin Body Talisman, once refined, one can condense a Moon Essence Body."

"The speed of dual-body cultivation is twice that of ordinary people; when attacking, the true body and the moon body can switch positions, and the moon body can block fatal damage."

"Although the master has emptied the eight treasure chests, he does not want you to bear any more burdens of restoring the country. He only hopes that you can live well."

"When he wrote the letter, he was simply a father who wanted his daughter to have a better life."

Xiao Yue lowered her head in silence, forcing a smile onto her face.

"Alright, alright..."

"When I get back to my room later, I'll also pay my respects to my parents."

"After all, they are the ones who gave me life and raised me..."

Li Hongen, the woodcarver, excitedly said "Good!" repeatedly.

He knew that Xiao Yue's inner conflict had finally been resolved.

Xiao Yue stepped into the gate of the Yang residence.

Two large red lanterns hung in front of the door.

Upon entering the front yard.

Fu Hongying came towards her and took her hand.

"Yue'er, hurry up, you're the only one left..."

Although they are called master and apprentice, they are more like best friends who are a few years apart in age. Even now, they occasionally sleep together and their relationship is extremely good.

Fu Hongying pulled Xiao Yue inside by the hand and felt her pulse.

"Hmm... your blood and qi have increased again, your true qi is abundant."

"I'm afraid he'll break through to become a Steel-Dirty Grand Martial Master in a few days, right?"

Xiao Yue smiled.

"That's because the master taught me well."

Fu Hongying snorted.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"I only taught you a few moves of the Washing Stream Hand technique."

"You will then switch to cultivating the Taiyin Guizhen Technique."

"Your cultivation speed is terrifying."

It was probably because the Wu Kingdom's actions to eliminate the bloodline of the last emperor of Yan were too swift and effective.

Having emerged from the blessed land a few months ago, Xiao Yue should be the only descendant of the last emperor.

One night, while she was sleeping, she dreamed that a golden dragon came down from the sky and went straight into her arms.

Starting the next day, she learned martial arts very quickly and easily, with almost no difficulties or confusion, and her progress was rapid.

Even Hu Jiaoniang exclaimed that it was truly terrifying when the last vestige of the dragon energy and ancestral lineage that had sustained the Yan Kingdom for hundreds of years converged on one person.

She even made fun of Yang Silang in public.

"If you, the advisor, don't work harder, your grand-disciple might become a grandmaster before you."

This is because Xiao Yue's cultivation method is still relatively short and she has not yet refined the Moon Soul Twin Body Talisman. Once she refines this talisman, her cultivation speed will increase dramatically.

Seeing that Fu Hongying seemed to be complaining or teasing, Xiao Yue took the little master's hand and shook it affectionately.

"Master, even if I cultivate to become a Martial Saint, I'll still be your little disciple, won't I?"

The two women giggled a few times and entered the main hall.

A banquet table has already been set up there.

She Nu was in charge of cooking in the kitchen, while Shu Miaosheng ran around serving dishes.

Hu Jiaoniang sat at the head of the table, with Yang Silang sitting next to her, and Wang Daniu sitting beside him.

Meanwhile, Wang Daniu was whispering intimately to someone next to him, his gaze almost slick with affection.

This is Wang Xushi. He married the cousin of Liu, the widow of Xiongshan. She was quite beautiful, with a slender figure, and was a typical girl from a modest family.

"Mrs. Hu, Master."

"Housewife, Master."

The two women hurriedly greeted Hu Yang and his companion at the head of the table.

Fu Hongying felt a little uneasy. Now she finally realized that she had mistaken her master's wife for someone else, which seemed to have caused her master a lot of trouble.

However, what's done is done, and the mistake has been made. Hopefully, that Master Mo's wife will be easy to talk to.

If Madam Mo really blames him, shouldn't Master be able to withstand the pressure and protect himself?

Fu Hongying stole a glance.

Seeing her master looking at Hu Shiniang with a forced smile, she shook her head inwardly—oh well, her master is unreliable.

The Washing Stream Hand technique has been mastered; all that remains is to accumulate experience.

In a few days, I'll talk to my master and suggest we go to Gongzhou Prefecture to find Fifth Sister and the others.

She didn't want to go back to that family in the capital, and she couldn't go back anyway.

The chaos in Jiangbei Province has spread to other provinces, with several provinces lost in succession, disrupting north-south transportation.

If I want to get back to Beijing, I have to take a long detour, and it's not safe either.

As everyone took their seats, and it was Mid-Autumn Festival, they naturally talked about family matters and happy things.

Wang Daniu nudged Yang Silang.

"Fourth Brother, your sister-in-law is pregnant."

Wang Xushi, who was standing next to her, immediately blushed with embarrassment.

Yang Silang laughed heartily.

"That's great news! I'll definitely prepare a generous gift."

Wang Daniu shook his head.

"Fourth Brother, that's not what I meant."

"Last time we went back to our hometown, didn't you promise Xiong Shan that you would take his son Liu Ruyi as your disciple... uh, so now you're calling Xiong Ruyi your disciple?"

"You can't favor one over the other. Can't my unborn child also call you 'Master'?"

Before Xiong Shan and Widow Liu got married, they agreed that their first child would take the surname Liu.

To his surprise, Widow Liu gave birth to a child, and then she made excuses and refused to have sex with him. Even if they did, he had to drink a contraceptive soup, which made him so angry that he almost exploded.

Fortunately, Yang Silang's status rose steadily, and Xiong Shan became more and more assertive at home. Finally, Liu Ruyi became Xiong Ruyi.

Yang Silang burst into laughter.

"I thought it was something important, so I agreed, and that's settled."

Wang Daniu was overjoyed, and the atmosphere at the banquet became even more lively.

After the banquet ended.

Hu Jiaoniang called Xiao Yue and Fu Hongying to the master bedroom.

"Tonight, Hongying and I will protect you, and your master's wife will help you refine the Moon Soul Twin Body Talisman."

Xiao Yue was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express her gratitude.

Hu Jiaoniang waved her hand.

"I will be leaving soon, and before I go, your advisor asked me to take care of this matter."

"Today is the perfect time, let's get ready and begin..."
