Dong Yue was confused about his sudden change in thoughts.
She asked him, "Why did you change your decision?"
Su Kang replied, "I am planning to wait and master pill formation supernatural powers before going on any big journey.".
His mother was relieved to hear this.
She was shocked to hear news that his son was going to participate in the war between orthodox cultivators and demon cultivators.
He was going with his friends from the Qingyun sect. His aim was to get merit and get recognition from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Your father will be happy to know this," she replied.
In his last life, they hastily left for a journey. They lost their fellow sect disciples before reaching their destination.
They were in a hurry because Li Fang was trying to join the Heavenly Sword Sect sooner instead of waiting for the next sect recruitment exam 2 years later.
At the beginning, Su Kang was confused why he was in such a hurry. Only after joining the Heavenly Sword Sect did he come to know the reason behind this hurry. Li Fang once met a mysterious beauty during his adventures.
Somehow they ended up making a bet. If he could find her within a three-year period, she would help him one time with her capacity.
In this way, Li Fang will end up acquiring a spiritual body with her help.
But what did others gain in this journey? They gained nothing except wines in front of their tomb.
"We will be leaving for Liyun City after your father comes out of his meditation," she said.
Dong yue is a disciple of the Qingyun sect. That's why when Su Kang was small, he used to spend most of his years in Qingyun City. Qingyun City is managed by disciples of the Qingyun sect.
The Su family has a branch in this city for family members who joined the Qingyun sect. Liyun City is the place their industry is set up, and that is the place where his ancestor and parents mostly stay.
His mother is helping the family to manage resources and expand, so she doesn't live in Qingyun City except for some special summons.
"I will be visiting soon," said Su Kang.
"Hmm, good," Dong Yue said. "Ting'er will be happy about this.".
Su Ting is his younger brother.
"Do not tell him about this; I will surprise him," Su Kang said with a smile.
His brother is six years younger than he is.
They used to live in Qingyun City together, but after his mother failed to break through Pill formation, she started focusing on family industry.
She thought that she wasted hard-earned elixir for pill formation on herself. That's why she is working hard to repay that loss.
After that he was only able to spend a little time with his brother.
Su Kang was reminiscing with his mother about the past.
...
...
Su Kang left the tea room after a long time.
His mother was looking at his back and thinking something. When she entered the room, she saw some inexplicable emotions in Su Kang's eyes.
She is feeling that her son grew a lot in one night. His face did not have that carefree smile again. She did not try to pry into the matter of her son.
But she was concerned about well-being. What happened to him that could suddenly bring so much change in one day?
"I will be having a discussion about this with my husband," she thought.
Then she began to move towards his room.
...
Su Kang was walking in the family hall, trained ground, etc. He was talking and asking about their cultivation. The Su family usually avoids internal conflicts.
Their numbers are smaller compared to other pill formation families, so members of the su family are united and always avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Su Kang was happy to see them again. These people were tortured and killed by demon cultivators, so when he saw them talking and laughing, his heart felt a lot lighter compared to before.
He was going towards the outside when he saw a group of people entering through the gate. 2 men and 2 girls were coming towards him.
He smiled and greeted them.
"Cousins, what are you doing here?"
They were his cousins. Su Kang's grandfather had 3 sons. His father is second; his eldest uncle is family head; meanwhile, the youngest uncle is responsible for the family business.
"We are here to report Aunt and ask about future planning of family," the light bronze-skinned man replied. His eyes have a dark brown colour with a mix of light yellow in them.
He has short brown hair with golden-coloured piercings in his ears. He is the son of the eldest uncle. His name is Su Lang. He is 30 years old.
Next to him is the son of the youngest uncle, Su Cheng. Su Cheng has light white skin with a charming face with a carefree smile. He has longer black hair.
"Oh, anything serious?" I asked casually.
"No, it's just usual reporting and meeting," replied Su Lang.
"Brother Kang, are you leaving for the central plains?" asked an 18-19-year-old girl.
She is the youngest daughter of the eldest family head and sister of Su Lang.
Her name is Su Ruyi. Next to her is the sister of Su Cheng with big, almond-shaped eyes. She is beautiful and charming.
Both of the girls were interested in alchemy. Qingyun sect has better techniques and alchemy inheritance, so both of them decided to join Qingyun sect for recognition.
As for Su Lang and Su Cheng, they were placed in the Qingyun sect to make better connections and train their family management skills.
"No, right now I am not planning to leave Jiang state," said Su Kang.
"Really, but we heard rumours that you will leave soon," asked Su Cheng with confusion.
"I was planning on it, but now I have decided to stay longer," said Su Kang with a smile.
"Oh, that's good. We were worried when we thought you would join the war against demon cultivators," said Su Ruyi.
Next to her, Su Ying also nodded her head with a warm smile.
Since they're living in the same family manor.
After cultivation and sect mission, they used to look after family business inside the city. So they met each other a lot and had a good relationship with each other.
After hearing about Su Kang's news, they were worried about his safety.
Even the Heavenly Sword Sect didn't send their own disciples. They were afraid of escalation of this war.
Those demon cultivators were backed up by the behemoth-like Sky Demon Sect. Sky Demon Sect is a powerhouse of the same level as Heavenly Sword Sect. They have a lot of influence in the southern region, and they control many states under them.
Although this war was not started by the Sky Demon Sect, for the sake of precaution, the Heavenly Sword Sect didn't send its disciples.
Although everyone knows about this, they can't stop their ambition after looking at the treasure of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
After all, Jiang state lacks resources to cultivate nascent soul cultivators, so they have to look for resources and treasure for future cultivation.
Su Kang talked to the group for a few minutes, then greeted and left the compound of the Su family.
As he left his family compound, he walked towards the Qingyun sect.
