Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Returning Home, Han Xuanji's Success

After resolving everything, Han Xuanji did not return to Shenxuan Sect but instead planned to visit his home.

He also realized that keeping his parents in this small city was ultimately unsafe.

He couldn't guard them all the time.

Even with the separation between Immortals and Mortals, he didn't want to watch his family die tragically in this life.

Qingshi City.

Han Xuanji didn't hide his identity as a Cultivator and arrived in the city by sword.

The Mortals in the city weren't too surprised to see a Cultivator arrive.

The Spiritual Qi in this world was abundant, and even in a small city like this, there were quite a few Cultivators, though they were mostly Qi Refining Loose Cultivators, who had probably stumbled upon a Cultivation Technique and were exploring Cultivation on their own.

The faint aura emitted by Han Xuanji was enough to deter the strongest Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivator in the city.

Entering the city, Han Xuanji headed straight for his home.

As Han Xuanji approached the entrance, the two Han Family guards were still somewhat confused, not recognizing the newcomer, as they had only practiced Mortal martial arts and couldn't discern Han Xuanji's identity as a Cultivator.

However, seeing Han Xuanji's extraordinary demeanor, they didn't dare to be negligent and quickly inquired:

"May I ask, Young Master, what is your business?"

"My name is Han Xuanji, you should know who I am, right?"

Han Xuanji said with a slight smile.

Soon, the obviously older guard exclaimed excitedly:

"So it's the Young Master!"

He had heard that the Han Family Young Master had gone to Cultivate, and he hadn't expected him to return today.

Soon, one person respectfully escorted Han Xuanji into the main hall, while the other went to inform Han Father and Han Mother.

Not long after.

Han Xuanji's parents came out, followed by a young girl.

"Father, Mother!"

Han Xuanji called out.

Han Yaotian looked at Han Xuanji and said:

"Ah, you finally decided to come back for a visit."

And Han Mother, Chu Junling, blamed Han Father, saying:

"It's so difficult for our son to return once he has embarked on Cultivation."

Then she pulled Han Xuanji's hand, examined him carefully, and said with satisfaction:

"My son is getting more and more handsome, I wonder how many Fairies he'll charm."

"Haha."

Han Xuanji said with a wry smile:

"My Aptitude is ordinary, those Fairies wouldn't fancy me."

The young girl beside him, seeing Han Xuanji, immediately widened her eyes, feeling that the man in front of her was truly handsome and very familiar.

After all, the last time Han Xuanji came home, she was only a few years old, and now, more than ten years had passed, her childhood memories had long since blurred.

Upon hearing this, the young girl spoke up:

"Then they must be blind."

"This is your younger sister, Han Wanrou."

Han Yaotian pointed to the young girl behind him and said:

"Hurry up and call him 'Brother'."

Han Wanrou, learning that this was her brother, didn't feel estranged at all and called out:

"Brother."

Han Father and Han Mother often mentioned this elder brother who went to Cultivate at home, and unconsciously, her affection for Han Xuanji was very high.

And Han Xuanji, seeing his own sister grown into a graceful young woman, was also filled with emotion:

"Over these years, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as an elder brother."

"This necklace shall be my compensation for all these years."

Han Xuanji's tone was gentle, and a delicate necklace appeared in his hand.

This necklace was a Spiritual Artifact he obtained by signing in at an Artifact Refining workshop.

A Spiritual Artifact is a Magical Artifact with a certain spirituality, capable of automatically protecting its owner; low-level Spiritual Artifacts like this are generally specially refined by Advanced Cultivators to give to their descendants.

Han Xuanji even specially upgraded the small Formation inside this necklace, making it capable of withstanding a Huashen Realm attack.

"So beautiful."

Han Wanrou's pretty face was filled with joy as she touched the necklace, knowing it was extremely precious even if she wasn't an expert:

"Brother... thank you so much."

After Han Wanrou put on the necklace, she only felt her body warm and extremely comfortable.

Seeing this, Chu Junling said with some heartache:

"Xuanji, Cultivating alone must be very hard for you, there's no need to spend money on gifts for us."

"It's fine, they're all very cheap things, not worth much."

Han Xuanji said with a smile.

Then he also pulled out a pair of exquisite rings and handed them to his parents.

The two also knew it was their son's intention and didn't refuse.

Han Yaotian mumbled:

"I feel like the quality of these rings is quite good."

Although he didn't know much about things from the Immortal Realm, he could still sense the extraordinary nature of these items.

"This..."

Han Xuanji had already thought of an answer:

"They are all things made by Cultivators, so their appearance naturally won't be bad; the key is still the power contained within them."

"I see."

Han Yaotian nodded, he also felt that the Spiritual Qi contained in the rings was indeed not much.

Little did he know, Han Xuanji had deliberately hidden their miraculous aspects, otherwise, holding such treasures would only bring them harm.

Next, the few of them chatted for a while, Han Wanrou was quite curious about Cultivation, asking many questions.

"Brother, your skin is so good, you don't look much older than me."

Han Wanrou looked at Han Xuanji with some envy.

"Perhaps the environment within the Sect is good, it nurtures people."

Han Xuanji thought for a moment before replying.

.....

After chatting, the family came to the back hall.

At this moment, a fragrant aroma wafted through the air.

This was the Spiritual Food Han Xuanji had specially brought from Shenxuan Sect.

Within Shenxuan Sect, there were naturally places that provided food, but they all required Spirit Stones to purchase, because this was not ordinary food, but Spiritual Food prepared by professional Cultivators.

Eating it could accelerate Cultivation speed and strengthen the Physical Body, and compared to Medicinal Pills, it could satisfy the craving for taste.

However, most Utility Disciples still mainly relied on Fasting Pills.

And Han Xuanji naturally wouldn't be stingy with these Spirit Stones.

The Spiritual Food he brought wasn't considered Advanced, but its effects were good, and the price was not cheap, suitable for Mortals and even low-level Cultivators to consume.

In fact, Han Xuanji usually wouldn't treat himself poorly and often went to the Spiritual Cuisine Hall to eat.

Although it didn't help his Cultivation in any way, it was impeccable in terms of deliciousness.

After all, these side professions in the Immortal Realm had developed for who knows how many years, and under the survival of the fittest, the craftsmanship that could be passed down naturally wouldn't be bad.

These Spiritual Foods were all placed in a specially made Magical Artifact that could keep them warm, so they could be eaten immediately upon taking them out, which was very convenient.

"The taste is good, it really is what Cultivators eat."

Han Yaotian took a bite and could feel the Spiritual Qi contained in the food, and eating it made him feel comfortable all over.

Chu Junling asked:

"Xuanji, you must be doing quite well in Shenxuan Sect, right?"

"It's alright, I've already reached Foundation Establishment and become an Outer Sect Disciple."

Han Xuanji said casually.

"What?"

Han Yaotian was shocked.

"You're a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator?"

Han Yaotian knew a little about Cultivation Realms.

Although this level of cultivation might be insignificant in the Immortal Realm, one must know that for Han Xuanji's Aptitude to achieve Foundation Establishment so quickly, he must have put in a lot of effort.

Thinking of this, Han Yaotian's eyes welled up with tears.

"As expected of my son, truly amazing!"

Chu Junling didn't have much understanding of this, but she was equally immensely relieved, realizing that her son seemed to have made a name for himself.
