At the evening of the day, Zhu Lingwu went from his private courtyard to the middle courtyard where his cheap mother was located and greeted her.

Zhu Lingwu's cheap mother called Ni, and she has lived a lonely life in the past three years. Although her husband is still there, she has been guarding the boudoir like a widow for a long time.

Zhu Lingwu's cheap father Zhu Junyan has been working in Tongshan County for the past three years. He really has no time to get back, so he can only write a letter from his family occasionally to tell him peace.

Zhu Lingwu's two sisters also married each other in the past three years and became other people's daughters-in-laws, so naturally they could not return to their parents' home to accompany Ni.

As for the eldest brother Zhu Yangwen, he was already married, and his young fourth brother was already seventeen years old. He got married last year and went out to have an independent door. Naturally, he had their own busy things, but he occasionally came to the Ni family to pay his respects.

In this way, there is only a minor child like Zhu Lingwu who can accompany him to enjoy the joy of family.

But Zhu Lingwu really couldn't pretend to be a real child and had to practice Qi all day long, so he naturally couldn't be with Ni, just to pay his respects three or seven days apart.

So there is really no way to talk to Ni. Those maids and slaves cannot communicate with each other after all, so they can only use their commandments.

When a man is lonely, he can find a concubine to accompany him. A noble lady like Ni can't find someone to cheat on him.

Zhu Lingwu's Qi cultivation is also a matter of good business. Ni cherishes his son and does not want to summon Zhu Lingwu to accompany him every day.

As a Qi Refiner, Ni can only pass the time through Qi Refining practice, but the emptiness in his heart is inevitable.

Every time Zhu Lingwu goes to pay his respects, he can feel her faint sorrow. This is also a shortcoming of the gentry. Although he has better living conditions than the common people, he has lost the lively family joy of the common people.

This time Zhu Lingwu came to pay his respects, and he was planning to tell her about his successful advancement to the third level of Qi Refining, so that she could be happy, and perhaps Ni could resolve some of the resentment of the empty boudoir.

Of course, Zhu Lingwu had already asked his servant to inform him in advance, so in the Ni family's courtyard, he specially prepared a lot of food for Zhu Lingwu.

Zhu Lingwu arrived at the Ni family's courtyard and soon led the maid in the room to the hall. Ni was already sitting on the chairman and waiting happily.

Zhu Lingwu first bowed to Ni and asked him about his good health according to the etiquette.

Ni naturally asked Zhu Lingwu to get up quickly, and then asked Zhu Lingwu to come to his side. He looked up and down at Zhu Lingwu, looked at Zhu Lingwu's complexion, and then asked Zhu Lingwu some homely questions.

Although she likes the child to see her, to be honest, they really can't find anything to say more, so they can only ask about the progress of qi cultivation, the situation of martial arts practice, whether the food is good on weekdays, and whether the servants take good care of them.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask Zhu Lingwu curiously why he had someone come to report before coming to pay his respects today and would like to inform her of any good news.

"Mom, I have advanced to the third level of Qi Refining today. I am already a real Qi Refining Master! Mom, you are so happy!"

Zhu Lingwu deliberately said in a tone with a little childish tone. Half of this was deliberately pretended by Zhu Lingwu, but half of it was a little bit of innocence that was truly brought with him after integrating the child's soul.

"What, Huai'er, what did you say? You have advanced to the third level of Qi Refining! But, you are not, have you only been refining Qi for three years? With your qualifications, is this true!"

When Ni heard this, she was really shocked. She cared about her children and naturally knew about Zhu Lingwu's condition.

Although she also knew that Zhu Lingwu was using a special method to assist in his cultivation, it could be regarded as solving the problem of poor qualifications of the innate spiritual veins.

Before, Zhu Lingwu made a bet with the eldest son and won the other party's bottle of Qi Condensation Pill. She also knew that she was happy for a while. After all, it was her own child who got the benefits.

But she never thought that Zhu Lingwu could actually cultivate to the third level of Qi refining in just three years, which might not be achieved even by the children of the family with the highest qualifications.

Of course, out of concern for her son, Zhu Lingwu used Xuanming Ghost Head to help with cultivation, so she also went to Chuangong Academy to ask. She knew that she had nothing to do with Zhu Lingwu, so she felt relieved to let Zhu Lingwu practice in this way.

But now, she was really unbelievable. Ni herself was just a Qi Refiner at the fifth level of Qi Refining. She had been practicing for more than 40 years to reach such a state. She was also a medium-grade wood-type innate spiritual vein, and her qualifications were much better than Zhu Lingwu.

According to Zhu Lingwu's current cultivation speed, since he has broken through the third level of Qi refining, it seems that he can catch up with Ni, who has been practicing for more than 40 years in a few years.

Although Ni was very happy that her son could have a promising future, she couldn't help but worry again. As the saying goes, haste but not achieves, she was worried that Zhu Lingwu would make any mistakes in his practice.

After all, Zhu Lingwu was not a real child, so he quickly felt the thoughts in Ni's eyes.

Zhu Lingwu smiled again and said, "Don't worry, mom, I didn't make any mistakes in my practice. I just practiced step by step. Now I have really broken through the third level of Qi refining, but my practice may not be as fast as I am now!"

Zhu Lingwu really didn't dare to guarantee the subsequent qi refining speed. Although the Xuanming Guishou helped him with the speed of qi refining is no less than that of a qi refiner with the best innate spiritual veins, qi refining is not just that simple.

"Oh, I'll feel at ease for you in this way! Well, this is really something worth happy about. I'll send a message to tell your father! Why not do this? In a few days, after you have registered in the clan, you'll hold a banquet in the family and invite some people to gather together to congratulate you! Alas, your father has been writing to me over the years and said that the situation in the world has changed a lot. He is also struggling in Tongshan County. He is ready to come back. Perhaps you can practice the third level of Qi refining, and you can smile happily after your father comes back!"

After hearing Zhu Lingwu's words, Ni couldn't help but smile on her face. However, it could still be seen that this news did not bring her much joy. Obviously, she was worried about other things.

Zhu Lingwu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He had been practicing without hearing about external affairs over the years, but now it sounds like the situation outside seems to be a little wrong.

Thinking of his life in Tongshan County three years ago, Zhu Junyan's life was very easy, but why is Ni now saying that this cheap father is having a hard time in Tongshan County?

What does Zhu Junyan mean when he is preparing to return from Tongshan County? Why didn’t he come back for three years, but now he suddenly says he is coming back?
