Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 35: Ten True Disciples
The war between the Lin and Zhou tribes finally came to an end.

The final outcome from the front made everyone in the Lin family furious, but also secretly relieved.

Although the result was not satisfactory, the Zhou family was not completely destroyed, and a small half of the clan members defected to the Liu family and became a disaster; the Lin family did not get all of the Zhou family's industrial resources, only half of them. Apart from the Lin family's investment and casualties in this war, the profit would probably not be much.

But there is a good side.

At least the Zhou family's foundation-building people are gone, and there are few high-level people in the late stage of Qi training. Those who survived and defected to the Liu family are all at the bottom and cannot cause any trouble. Secondly, the two foundation-building people in the Lin family survived. Even though the ancestor Lin Xianchu's injuries are not optimistic, they also discovered Chen Ping, a son-in-law who is full of secrets and has a second-level puppet.

In short, under the threat of the three foundation-building masters of the Liu family, it was a blessing in disguise that the Lin family could achieve such a result.

Lin Changyue, who was in the clan’s territory, also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the final news.

so far so good……

What would happen if the Lin family's front line suffered a major defeat? He himself could hardly imagine how he could defend the Lin family's foundation with his current strength.

"Why did the Xuanbing Palace suddenly appear? Was it a coincidence?"

Lin Changyue was confused.

He did not think this was a coincidence, just like the Liu family suddenly appeared on the battlefield, gathered the remaining forces of the Zhou family, and prepared to reap the fruits. This could not be a coincidence, but a long-planned plan.

Lin Changyue even suspected that if the Lin family was defeated by the Zhou family a few years ago, the Liu family would stand up like this time and act as the "savior" of the Lin family.

"Perhaps, the Xuanbing Palace is to the Liu family what the Liu family is to my Lin family and Zhou family."

Lin Changyue had some guesses in his mind.

All the Liu family's previous actions, which clearly had bad intentions and the ability to do whatever they wanted, but they chose to do things secretly and refused to do things openly and honestly...all of them can be explained.

The Liu family must have had a deep fear of the Xuanbing Hall, a Jindan sect, and were restrained by the rules set by the Xuanbing Hall.

Another half month passed before all the Lin family troops finally returned.

Lin Changyue went to the main peak to meet everyone as soon as possible. He had many questions and was also worried about the injury of the ancestor Lin Xianchu.

However, what Lin Changyue did not expect was that before he could ask anything, he was arranged to be the receptionist.

Because the manager of Xuanbing Palace actually came to visit the Lin family this time!

Moreover, the other party specifically wanted to meet Lin Changyue.

Although Lin Changyue was surprised, he didn't think much about it and politely welcomed him to the reception hall.

This time, the other party really helped the Lin family a lot and played a crucial role.

"Master Lin Fu, do you know why I want to see you this time?"

The manager of Xuanbing Hall was named Lu Chen, and he looked at Lin Changyue with a smile.

Lin Changyue didn't play dumb and expressed his guess: "Is Senior Lu doing this because of Senior Sister Xie Lingshuang?"

Lu Chen nodded: "Yes, I received the mission to guard this area a year ago. Ling Shuang once specifically asked me to help look after Master Lin Fu if I have the chance."

Lin Changyue sighed inwardly, it was indeed so.

When he heard that this Xuanbing Palace Foundation Establishment Master wanted to meet him alone, he guessed the reason.

As an 'abandoned disciple' of the Xuanbing Palace, he had no connection with the Xuanbing Palace long ago.

The only people who could still be connected were a few old friends with whom he had a good relationship, such as He Qingxi and a few others.

The only person who could make a manager in the middle stage of foundation building make a special trip was Xie Lingshuang.

Afterwards, Lin Changyue briefly inquired about Xie Lingshuang's situation.

When Xie Lingshuang killed the two-headed black water snake and obtained the inner elixir of the second-level water monster, he returned to the sect to practice in seclusion. In less than a year, he successfully broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.

Now he is already one of the ten true disciples of Xuanbing Palace! The ten true disciples have a higher status than the average late foundation building elders, and are even not inferior to the fake dan masters, and second only to the jindan masters!

Although the probability of a true disciple forming a Dan is actually not high, less than half, but they were all Dan seeds before, so there is great hope for the future!
Lin Changyue was deeply moved after hearing this. They had entered the sect at the same time, but now there was such a huge difference between them.

I couldn't help but feel anticipation in my heart. When would I be able to reach this point?
Ten years ago, Lin Changyue would not even dare to think about it.

Now that he has a golden finger, although he started a little slowly, he is confident that he will catch up and surpass his opponents sooner or later.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lin Changyue began to ask about the business.

He had many questions and wanted to ask Manager Lu for their answers.

"So Senior Lu is helping the Lin family this time out of consideration for Senior Sister Xie?" Lin Changyue asked.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Although Ling Shuang is very influential, the fact that I happened to appear in the Zhou family's territory and participate in this war is not because of Ling Shuang..."

Afterwards, Lu Chen revealed some secrets.

Whether it is the Lin family, the Zhou family or even the Liu family, although they are all independent immortal cultivation families, they do not accept the rule and management of the Xuanbing Palace. The high and mighty Xuanbing Palace has no interest in getting involved in the struggles between these immortal cultivation families.

After all, within the jurisdiction of the Xuanbing Palace, there are nearly twenty foundation-building families, and countless small Qi-refining families.

These immortal cultivation families fight and annex each other, but as long as it is within the normal range, the Xuanbing Palace will not pay any attention.

Even the Xuanbing Palace stipulates that its disciples cannot participate in the struggles among immortal cultivation families under normal circumstances.

Unless the immortal cultivation family first offends the disciples of the Xuanbing Palace.

But the Liu family is different.

In the beginning, the Liu family was not much stronger than the Lin family and the Zhou family. It was after Liu Chengfeng appeared a hundred years ago that he led the Liu family to grow step by step to its current size, with four people in the family establishing their foundation.

But how can a small foundation-building family develop into a top foundation-building family?

Just one or two geniuses is not enough.

There must be enough resources!
Otherwise, without resources, even if there are enough outstanding tribesmen, they cannot be trained.

So a hundred years ago, the Liu family had successively annexed two foundation-building families, seized their resources and industries as their own, and only then cultivated the current family of four foundation-building people!

The Liu family's massive expansion naturally attracted the attention of the Xuanbing Palace.

The Xuanbing Palace is high and mighty and does not care about the demise of the immortal families in its territory, as long as the overall operation remains normal.

But if a "giant" appears and continues to expand, although it will not threaten the Xuanbing Palace, it will affect the "ecological balance", which is naturally not acceptable.

So many years ago, the Xuanbing Palace issued an order to the Liu family, prohibiting the Liu family, whose strength far exceeded that of ordinary foundation-building families, from taking action against other foundation-building families!
Of course, if other families provoke the Liu family, the Liu family can naturally fight back.

But the Liu family is surrounded by small foundation-building families like Zhou and Lin. Who would take the initiative to provoke them?
No matter how powerful the Liu family was, they dared not disobey the orders of the Xuanbing Palace and lived in peace and obedience for nearly a hundred years.

Without expansion, there is no development.

The Liu family’s current resources can only support one family with four foundation-building masters, which is almost the limit.

It is even more impossible to support a Jindan or Jiadan Zhenren.

However, in recent years, the Liu family has developed some connections in Liaoyuan Immortal City, coupled with some problems within the Xuanbing Palace itself, or perhaps Liu Chengfeng is unwilling to stop at the late stage of foundation building and has greater ambitions...

In short, the Liu family has set its sights on the Lin family and the Zhou family!

After Xuanbing Palace received the news, it could not take direct action against the Liu family without evidence. Instead, it sent Lu Chen a year ago to secretly monitor the Liu family.

That's why this time, Lu Chen was able to appear on the battlefield and help the Lin family at the critical moment.
