Chapter 199: Come to the Mass Grave to Check
After staying in the Cloud Recesses for a while, Wei Wuxian gradually felt bored.
That day, he rolled his eyes, approached Lan Wangji, and suggested, "Lan Zhan, how about we go to the mass grave to see how it's recovering since the formation was activated?"
Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian's expectant eyes and nodded slightly in agreement.
The two of them left the Cloud Recesses Mountain Gate and flew away on their swords. Under the blue sky and white clouds, two figures streaked across the sky like shooting stars.
When passing by Caiyi Town, Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Lan Zhan, Tianzixiao."
Lan Wangji stopped at a place with few people on his side.
Lan Wangji walked into a tavern and soon emerged carrying several jars of Emperor's Smile. He placed the wine in his Qiankun sleeve and, observing Wei Wuxian's joyful expression, his lips curled up slightly. After a brief pause, the two of them continued on their journey to Yiling.
Before long, the two of them reached the foot of Yiling Mountain. Wei Wuxian gazed at the familiar landscape, a strange feeling welling up in his heart. This place held so many memories for him.
As they approached the Wei Clan's main gate, the gatekeeper saw that it was Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, and hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Young Master, Son-in-law, you are back."
Wei WuXian was stunned by the "son-in-law." He stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long moment.
Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian's stunned expression, a hint of smile flashing in his eyes. He gently tugged at Wei Wuxian's sleeve, motioning him to move forward.
Wei WuXian finally came to his senses and muttered as he walked, "What a strange name."
The two walked into Wei's house. At this time, Wei Changze was training his disciples in swordsmanship in the training ground.
Wei Wuxian saw his father and a bright smile spread across his face. He quickly walked forward and called out, "Dad."
Wei Changze heard the voice, stopped what he was doing, and turned around. Seeing Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, a relieved smile appeared on his face. "Why are you back?" Wei Changze asked.
Lan Wangji bowed to Wei Changze and said, "Wangji greets father."
Wei WuXian smiled and replied, "I got bored staying in the Cloud Recesses, so I thought I'd come back and take a look. I'll also visit the Mass Burial Mounds to see how the formation is recovering."
Wei Changze nodded and said, "Alright. The formation at the mass grave is extremely important, and we really need to check it out."
At this moment, Wei WuXian recalled the name the gatekeeper disciples had called him, and couldn't help but ask, "Father, why do they call Lan Zhan 'Uncle'?"
Wei Changze laughed heartily and said, "This is everyone's recognition of you and Wangji. Since you have become Taoist companions, you are naturally a family."
Wei Wuxian blushed slightly upon hearing this and stole a glance at Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji still looked indifferent, but a hint of tenderness shone in his eyes.
After a brief rest at the Wei Clan, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji prepared to head to the mass grave. Wei Changze urged them to be cautious and stay safe. The two nodded and set out again.
Arriving at the mass grave, Wei Wuxian looked at the scene before him with a feeling of deep emotion. Once filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, now, under the influence of the formation, it had become much calmer.
They carefully checked each node of the formation and found that everything was functioning normally.
Wei WuXian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there's no problem with the formation."
Lan Wangji also nodded slightly in agreement.
Wei Wuxian said, "Lan Zhan, you see we have to practice hard. To verify whether this formation is effective, someone must break through to the Golden Core stage."
Lan Wangji replied, “Yes, that’s true.” He raised his gaze to Wei Wuxian, his eyes determined. “However, with our aptitude and diligence, we will surely be able to break through to the Golden Core stage soon.”
Wei Wuxian scratched his head and laughed, "Lan Zhan, you are always so confident. But cultivation cannot be rushed, it needs to be done step by step." As he said this, he sat on the ground, folded his arms around his chest and thought.
Lan Wangji also sat down. "That's fine. We can encourage each other."
Wei Wuxian's eyes lit up, "Lan Zhan, you're right. We can start by consolidating our own spiritual power, and then try to break through the bottleneck. Why don't we practice here?"
Lan Wangji nodded. "Although this place is dangerous, if used properly, it can be beneficial for cultivation."
So, the two of them immediately found a quiet place in the mass grave and began to practice. They closed their eyes and concentrated, and spiritual energy gradually began to fluctuate around them.
As time passed, a faint light emanated from both of them, as if they were miraculously resonating with the surrounding formations. It seemed that through this interaction, they were one step closer to breaking through the Jindan stage.
