From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 81 Blood-sucking
When Lin Changtian was young, he was a rich farmer in the village. His family owned more than 100 acres of land, and his parents were in good health.

He has a hardworking, capable, down-to-earth and virtuous wife, and two obedient and sensible sons.

When he was in his twenties, he accidentally learned that it only cost one or two taels of silver to test his spiritual roots. So with a try-it attitude, he went to test his spiritual roots.

The result surprised him. He had five pseudo spiritual roots!

Having spiritual roots means that he can become a high and mighty immortal, seek the way to immortality, and achieve longevity.

Afterwards, he was so excited that he went everywhere to seek out masters and immortals, hoping to enter the immortal gate. However, reality poured cold water on him. No immortal was interested in him with fake spiritual roots, and they didn't even bother to look at him.

Only then did he realize that possessing the worst five-element pseudo-spiritual roots could only allow him to be a casual cultivator.

He decided to practice on his own.

However, he was stumped at the beginning: he had no method to cultivate immortality.

As a future immortal, he was full of confidence. He took out his family's savings of several hundred taels of silver and borrowed a large sum of money from relatives and friends. He finally found out where to buy the immortal cultivation techniques.

He once again witnessed the cruelty of the world of cultivating immortals. He was cheated of all his money, bought a fake martial arts book, and practiced hard for several months but was unable to draw qi into his body.

By the time he realized he had been cheated, he could no longer find the person who sold him the skills.

After all this trouble, I lost all my money and wasted my time, but I didn’t even see the door to becoming an immortal.

His family and relatives no longer had any illusions about him and advised him to live a down-to-earth life and endure more hardships for a few more years to pay back the money he owed.

But he was unwilling to give up. He had detected a spiritual root that was one in a million for cultivating immortals. How could he give up the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivating immortals?

After searching for a long time, he finally found an opportunity, and this time it was not a scam.

Despite his family's objections, he used his own land to exchange for the immortal cultivation technique "Tu Yuan Jue" from an elderly Qigong cultivator. This is the most common earth-based Qigong technique among the five-based Qigong techniques.

This time he finally drew the energy into his body and began to cultivate immortality.

The family savings and land were gone, and his parents, wife and two sons were counting on him to support them, but he was obsessed with practicing Buddhism and ignored his family.

My elderly parents can only rent land and work as tenants, earning a meager income by working hard.

His wife worked on the farm while raising two hungry, half-grown children who were starving and malnourished, with little food and clothing.

In this regard, Lin Changtian only had one promise to his family: wait for him to succeed in cultivating immortality so that his family can enjoy wealth and glory.

Without spiritual veins or spiritual stones, his progress in cultivation was extremely slow, and he remained at the first level of Qi training for several years. A cultivator at the first level of Qi training was extremely weak.

He is an immortal who feeds on spiritual energy. He can survive without eating much and is not afraid of cold or heat.

But my family can’t do that. They need money for food, clothing, housing, transportation, daily necessities and other necessities.

Someone took pity on his family and recommended him a job in the county town, where he could earn twenty or thirty taels of silver a month. However, he gave up after only two months, thinking it was too much trivial work and would interfere with his spiritual practice.

There is no time to practice.

His wife couldn't stand it and remarried with the child.

His parents died one after another due to illness from overwork. Unfortunately, they didn't even have coffins after their death. They were wrapped in straw mats and buried in the village mass grave.

----

Lin Changtian looked back on his life. He had some vivid memories of the first twenty or thirty years, but the next fifty or sixty years were nothing but cultivation, a boring cycle day after day and year after year.

Unfortunately, he sucked the blood of his entire family and embarked on the path of cultivating immortality. Even now, over eighty years old, he has only reached the third level of Qi training.

Waste your life and achieve nothing.

In a place without spiritual veins, the cultivation of the five pseudo spiritual roots is extremely slow. It takes ten years to cultivate the first level of Qi training, twenty years to cultivate the second level of Qi training, and thirty years to cultivate the third level of Qi training, a total of sixty years!
In fact, in the early years, some independent cultivators recruited him to join their gang, "robbing the rich to help the poor", and stealing the money of the rich.

Lin Changtian refused, as he knew that many of the independent cultivators were robbing and looting in the name of "robbing the rich to help the poor."

Killing and arson gold belt. This sentence is right. If he is willing to give up his bottom line, he will not end up like this.

"Fuck! I'll do it!"

"Who are you going to kill?" Lin Changtian gritted his teeth. If others can do it, why can't he?
In this rotten circle of cultivating immortals, it’s all about who has no bottom line.

He was almost at the third level of Qi training. With three spirit stones, he could advance to the fourth level of Qi training.

Li Mang leaned over and whispered a few words in Lin Changtian's ear.

After that, he gave him the Golden Light Talisman and added, "Act as soon as possible, otherwise things will get worse."

"I'll go tonight."

After Lin Changtian finished speaking, he held a spirit crystal in his hand and began to sit cross-legged to practice and absorb spiritual energy. He hadn't used a spirit crystal in a long time, so he used this one to satisfy his craving.

Threads of spiritual energy flowed into his body, and it felt wonderful.

An hour later, he opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in them, and his previous decadence was swept away. He stood up, and the spirit crystal in his hand turned into rubble without spiritual light.

Before leaving, he had to go somewhere else.

In an alley in the county town, there is a row of crowded small houses. The families living here are not well off.

Lin Changtian stood at the door of someone else's house and saw through the half-open gate a child about fifteen or six years old running around. It was his great-grandson.

His wife had passed away long ago and his son was in his sixties.

"Child, come here and let Grandpa see you."

He waved at the child, but saw someone walking out the door: "Hey, who are you? What are you doing at my doorstep?"

"Let me see you."

Lin Changtian had a kind smile on his face.

The man looked at Lin Changtian carefully and saw that his appearance was somewhat similar to that of an elder. Suddenly, he realized what was happening and slammed the gate shut. His elders had instructed him not to have any contact with Lin Changtian under any circumstances.

"Ah~~"

Lin Changtian shook his head and sighed, took out twenty taels of silver from his arms, threw it into the yard, and turned away.

Regardless of whether he succeeds tonight, he will leave Tonggu County and never come back.

----

Baihe Village, late at night.

Lin Changtian stayed near the Xu family's old house for most of the night.

He saw Xu Xiaoan leave in the middle of the night, and saw Xu Xiaoyun leave in a carriage at dawn.

"Let's go, let's go. Leave more people so I can kill fewer people."

He knew that if he took action, no one in the house would survive in order to keep it secret.

This was the first time he did such a heinous thing.

He thought about it for a long time, until it was almost dawn and he felt it would be too late if he didn't act now, so he finally made up his mind.

According to the information Li Mang gave him, his target was Xu Xiaoniu.

The Xu family has a congenital master named Xu Xiaogou, but Xu Xiaogou is most likely in the county town, not the Xu family's old house.

From this point of view, Lin Changtian, who is at the third level of Qi training, is almost certain to succeed in the assassination this time.

He reached the outside of the house, used the Light Body Technique, and leaped onto the wall. He didn't know which bedroom Xu Xiaoniu lived in, so he ruled out the side rooms where the maids and nannies lived.

He had already found out everything about Xu Xiaoniu's figure and appearance.

He jumped into the yard and was about to investigate carefully when he was discovered by Xu Xiaogou.

Xu Xiaogou was worried that someone would assassinate his elder brother before he was given an official position, so he remained vigilant.
