Immortality and Cultivation: Starting with Harvesting the Talents of Demonic Beasts

Chapter 91 Remnants of the Chen Family (First Update, Please Subscribe)

But for Lin Changheng,

If the cultivators who came from the Desolate Ruins were well-prepared, their strength would certainly be extremely formidable, enough to overwhelm them. In that case, Lin Changheng would definitely take advantage of the chaos to escape using earth magic.

There's nothing to worry about; self-preservation is the priority.

However, if the enemy is a band of robbers who have been severely defeated, one can observe the situation for a while and lend a hand when the situation is under control. At that time, one can also make demands based on gratitude.

The Xu family would probably find it difficult to refuse.

Almost instantly, Lin Changheng made up his mind.

……

Tensions were high outside.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't we go out and lend a hand as well?"

The veiled female cultivator suddenly extended an invitation.

"Alright."

Lin Changheng did not refuse. It was not out of desperation that he went out to see what was going on, but rather to better assess the situation.

The two men emerged from the packhorse carriage one after the other, only to find that the two sides had just started fighting.

Colorful spells flew in all directions, and magical artifacts of all shapes and sizes collided and roared.

The veiled female cultivator quickly scanned the battlefield and saw two cultivators besieging Xu Xulin. The latter was struggling to hold on and immediately shouted, eagerly joining the battle to relieve the siege.

Lin Changheng did not make any rash moves. Instead, he stopped on the carriage shaft, affixed a [concealment talisman] to his body, and the light around him distorted as he began to observe the battle situation.

"Sixth level of Qi Refining".

At this moment, the veiled female cultivator's magical power surged, revealing her true cultivation level to Lin Changheng.

It can be seen that the female cultivator is not very old, yet she has such cultivation. If she takes another step, she will reach the late stage of Qi Refining. Her future is bright, and her status in the Xu family should not be low.

"Who could it be?"

My gaze shifted again.

Overlooking the entire scene, the number of Tribulation Cultivators was not very large, only about ten or so, two or three more than the Xu family cultivators. They were all fighting hard and did not have a significant impact on the situation.

However, the real high-end combat force that determines the outcome of the battle is that the opposing side has two Qi Refining Level 7 experts, while the Xu family only has one person, and they are working together to besiege Xu Xulin.

They intended to kill him first.

One of them was wielding a giant scythe, a magical artifact.

Judging from its imposing presence, it is clearly a mid-grade magic weapon.

He swung his weapon so tightly it was impenetrable, the air crackling with explosive force, and the eyes revealed beneath the mask were filled with madness and hatred.

They wished they could tear Xu Xulin to pieces.

"A cultivator from the Chen family!"

Lin Changheng immediately made a rebuttal.

The addition of the veiled female cultivator immediately relieved a lot of pressure on Xu Xulin, and soon even led the Chen family members to leave the battle and face it alone.

A Qi Refining Level 6 battles a Qi Refining Level 7!

"Be very careful."

Xu Xulin roared and unleashed his full power, wanting to quickly cripple the enemy before turning back to help the female cultivator.

"It's not that easy to leave."

The burly male cultivator let out a hissing laugh, slapped several talismans onto his body, and various protective shields immediately enveloped him.

His idea was simple: once Chen Guqing killed that little wench at the sixth level of Qi Refining, they could then launch a combined attack and wipe out all the Xu family cultivators.

Therefore, procrastination and entanglement are the preferred methods.

We must not be greedy for quick success and act rashly, lest we create a loophole; nor should we let it escape, but wait patiently for the results.

"you!"

In his haste, Xu Xulin nearly lost his composure and was slashed on the arm by his opponent's curved sword, causing a spray of blood to appear.

Fortunately, Xu Xulin had been traveling for many years and had rich experience in combat. After being injured, he immediately regained his composure and realized that "haste makes waste." He took a deep breath, his eyes regained their clarity, simply sealed his wound, took some medicine, and then steadily resumed his fight.

……

Meanwhile, the other battlefield was getting further and further away.

Faced with Chen Guqing's fierce attack, the veiled female cultivator used all her methods, but she still found it difficult to cope.

Just as defeat seemed imminent and Chen Guqing let out a vicious laugh, the veiled female cultivator gritted her teeth, wiped her hand on her storage bag, and a talisman bursting with spiritual light flew out.

"clang!"

The giant scythe magic weapon entered the female cultivator through the opening created by the fierce attack, intending to cleave her in two with a single strike. However, a muffled explosion followed, accompanied by a flash of golden light, and the giant scythe was stopped, unable to advance any further.

It was completely blocked by a magnificent golden bell.

First-tier superior talisman: Golden Bell Talisman!
The giant bell that transformed protected his entire body.

"There's even a high-grade defensive talisman?"

Chen Guqing's expression turned cold. A high-grade defensive talisman is worth at least a dozen spirit stones. This woman is so wealthy. I wonder how much of the Chen family's blood and sweat is in her possession!
Thinking of this, he became even angrier, and the giant scythe in his hand flew out, black light condensing on the blade, and he struck out fiercely.

"boom!"

A black ribbon fell onto the golden bell, causing it to tremble and dim slightly, but it remained steadfast.

"call out!"

The female cultivator wouldn't sit idly by and wait for her death. At the same time, the silver disc in her hand flew out, spinning wildly in mid-air like a full moon, and directly cut towards Chen Guqing.

It was indeed a mid-grade magic artifact.

However, the difference between the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Refining is also evident. The former can only control one mid-grade magic weapon, while the latter can control two mid-grade magic weapons or one high-grade magic weapon with ease!
Chen Guqing calmly summoned another mid-grade black shield, which stood in front of him and instantly grew larger, like an iron wall forged from black iron.

"clang!"

The silver disc had incredibly sharp edges, leaving a trail of sparks on the black shield's surface, and the sharp, screeching sound was exceptionally jarring.

The defenses were not breached.

At the same time, Chen Guqing continued to control the black scythe to strike the golden bell, and the latter was already trembling more violently, clearly unable to hold on for long.

When the golden bell breaks, that will be the moment this woman is beheaded.

Xu Xulin, who had been fighting fiercely in the woods to the side, used a variety of methods and had a slight advantage, but he was still unable to kill or cripple his opponent to end the battle and was still being entangled.

He also took a moment to notice the female cultivator's condition and immediately realized something was wrong.
Then, several screams came from another direction. He immediately turned his eyes and saw that Lin Danshi, together with the Xu family members, had beheaded two cultivators.

The two tribesmen who were suddenly freed up immediately joined the nearby battle, launching a multi-on-one siege!
The situation immediately improved significantly.

"it is good!"

Xu Xulin cheered and immediately sent a telepathic message to Lin Changheng, "Master Lin, I wonder if it would be possible to help... that fellow clansman?"

"That's a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator undergoing tribulation; I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

Lin Changheng manipulated a low-grade magic artifact to force back a cultivator undergoing tribulation, and transmitted his voice with a troubled expression.

"Master Lin is also in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. We only need to delay him for a while. Our clan's reinforcements are on their way and will arrive soon. At that time, the clan will also reward you handsomely!"

Xu Xulin kept talking.

"Alright, I'll give it a try, but let me make this clear beforehand: if anything goes wrong, don't make me take the blame."

“I understand. I can testify for you and stand up for you. No matter what, I will not let the blame fall on you, the alchemist.”

I swear!

Upon hearing Lin Changheng's disclaimer clause, Xu Xulin readily agreed.

Lin Changheng then put away his magical artifact and headed directly towards the distant battlefield.

He knew that this female cultivator's status in the Xu family must be extraordinary, as evidenced by both her cultivation level and the treasures she possessed.

If he were to stand by and watch the female cultivator die on the spot, the Xu family might not be able to stay in peace any longer.

"Let's give it a try. We need to show our attitude: if we can save them, we will; if we can't, at least we've tried. This will help us avoid giving others something to criticize us for."
