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

Chapter 95 Foundation Building in the Xu Family (Seeking 10,000 daily subscriptions)

The three of them immediately went to Xu Hanji's side, who looked like a sleeping beauty, and tried to call out to her with some concern.

"Miss is alright."

Lin Changheng stood up and, seeing the three people looking at him questioningly, recited his prepared remarks.

"How dare those remnants of the Chen family harbor such malice towards Han Jisheng and commit such a heinous act?"

Xu Qianzhan's single eye was terrifying. He narrowed it slightly, his killing intent surging. "Like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone, if I encounter it again, I will not let it escape. I will tear it to pieces!"

Xu Xuheng immediately squatted down, grabbed the female cultivator's hand, and used his magic to check the situation. After seeing that his daughter was basically unharmed except for the injuries from the battle, he stood up and said to Lin Changheng in a deep voice, "Thank you very much, Alchemist Lin, for saving my daughter. My daughter and I will definitely repay you handsomely!"

"At the same time, it also scared away a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, making the situation clear and preventing it from collapsing. It thwarted the plan of the plundering cultivators and instead left ten of their corpses lying in the ground. It can be said that this was a great achievement. The clan will remember it and reward them handsomely."

Xu Xuheng was a shrewd man. He could detect some problems in Lin Changheng's words, but the general logic was sound and the outcome was good. Xu Hanji was unharmed and there was nothing wrong with the storage bag, which was enough!
After a moment's thought, he realized that Master Lin had concealed some details, which might involve the other party's secrets, but he wouldn't stubbornly pry into it.

Moreover, rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished and not confused.

If it's a private gift, then I'll reward you handsomely! If it belongs to the Xu family, then I'll bestow it upon them in the name of the family.

Lin Changheng thought to himself, "This kind of style of doing things will surely win people's hearts and minds and unite everyone."

No wonder the Xu family, which has been cultivating Qi, is now thriving and has a good chance of becoming a Foundation Establishment family. This is closely related to the actions of the family leader.

"Thank you. However, the key talisman of the young lady is what determines the outcome of this trip. Otherwise, even if I break my head, I won't be able to hurt a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator."

Lin Changheng emphasized this point, not wanting to be treated as a great hero or put in the spotlight for publicity.

"Haha, kid, you're much more honest than my Fugui, that sly fellow!"

Xu Qianzhan had been listening silently to the side, but he couldn't help but laugh at this moment.

"No, no." Lin Changheng waved his hand.

The caravan manager, Xu Xulin, looked at Lin Changheng with a smile. Suddenly remembering something, he reported to the Xu family head: "In my opinion, Master Lin doesn't like to show off and prefers to refine pills quietly. I think the clan should grant this great contributor's wish."

"Oh? Then so be it, Master Lin."

The head of the Xu family readily accepted good advice and did not concern himself with trivial matters, thus demonstrating his power.

For a moment, the four of them chatted and laughed, enjoying themselves immensely.

Xu Xulin then returned to the team and led them back, while Lin Changheng and the slowly waking Xu Hanji boarded the Xu family head's magic boat and returned with Xu Qianzhan.

This first-tier magic boat can only carry four or five people at most, and its flight speed will decrease as the number of people and weight increase.

"call out!"

The Dharma boat ascended into the sky, piercing through the clouds and soaring through the high heavens.

Fortunately, a small wind-blocking array was set up on the Dharma boat, so the people on board did not feel the cold or stinging from the wind, and their clothes did not even flutter.

This was indeed a unique experience, completely different from the airplanes of my previous life.

Lin Changheng looked around with some curiosity.

I'm thinking that I'll get one when I have the chance!
During this time, he would occasionally face Xu Hanji, who was aloof and radiant, through the curtain. With his thick skin, Lin Changheng would simply nod and acknowledge him as if nothing had happened.

Xu Hanji nodded in return, but a complex emotion flickered unnoticed in her beautiful eyes beneath the curtain.

……

Mortals often say that time flies, and this is especially true in the cultivation world. Nearly four years have passed in the blink of an eye! From the outside perspective, many aristocratic families, clans, and independent cultivators, under the organization of the upper sect, have once again begun "small-scale pioneering".

However, within the Xu family, several major events have occurred in recent years that have shaken the family and brought about a complete transformation.

Firstly, the friction between the Qiu family and the Xu family, who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, intensified.

The Chen family's former residence was "borrowed" by the Qiu family, which naturally also seized most of the Chen family's sacred land and property. The Xu family was not foolish enough to let the Qiu family swallow it all up, so they also occupied a few places.

How can I allow someone else to snore beside my bed?

Geographical location naturally laid the groundwork for a power struggle between the Qiu and Xu families.

Just like the Chen and Xu families before them.

At first, things were fine, but as the Xu family prospered, the Qiu family couldn't sit still any longer and began to suppress the Xu family, deliberately creating friction.

The Xu family could only tolerate it; they could not possibly start a war with the Qiu family.

After all, the other party is a Foundation Establishment family, and they might just be waiting for an excuse to make a move.

……

Secondly, it was during this fierce storm that...
The head of the Xu family once disappeared from the clan for more than a month. Everyone in the clan, including Lin Changheng, believed that he had taken the Foundation Establishment Pill and gone out to establish his foundation.

In an instant, all the surrounding families were paying attention.

The Qiu family naturally realized this as well, and using a fabricated pretext, they launched a direct and brazen attack.

They attempted to undermine the Xu family, sow discord, and cause the Xu family patriarch to become unstable and make mistakes in his haste, thus leading to his failure in foundation building.

This is an extremely vicious move!
A radical solution!

But who would have thought that at this critical moment, the head of the Xu family would make a public appearance, step forward, and with unparalleled prestige, calm people's hearts.

He is still in the clan, like a pillar of strength!

This means that someone else, not the head of this family, went out to establish the foundation!
Whether it was members of the Xu family, cultivators from the outside world, or Lin Changheng, everyone who heard this news found it hard to believe!

This person, wielding immense power and holding absolute authority within the Xu family, coupled with his already advanced Qi Refining Stage 9, possessed all the necessary qualifications, experience, strength, and ability! Yet, he didn't choose to establish his Foundation Establishment?!
What a strange thing this is! Who would believe it if I told them?

But he was indeed at the Xu family's residence! And he thwarted the Qiu family's plans!
Two months later.

Someone is back.

This person was quite unfamiliar; even Lin Changheng, who had lived in the Xu family for nearly thirty years, had only seen him a handful of times.

He was a middle-aged cultivator with phoenix eyes. He was the younger cousin of Xu Xuheng, the head of the Xu family, and the uncle of Xu Hanji.

His name is Xu Xujun.

He basically ignores worldly affairs and spends his life cultivating himself.

Upon receiving the news, Lin Changheng also went to take a look from afar. He slightly activated his [Spirit Observation Technique] and, even from several miles away, felt that the vastness of the scene was indescribable, far beyond what a Qi Refining cultivator could comprehend!
Foundation building period!
Their cultivation levels have been stabilized; there's no way to tell they're newcomers!

The Xu family erupted in cheers, their excitement reaching a fever pitch!
This represents not just the Foundation Establishment stage, but an improvement and leap in the family's status, signifying that the Qi Refining family has become the Foundation Establishment family!
Moreover, the difficulties and pressures from the outside world, which seem like dark clouds looming over the city, will be easily resolved!

No matter what the Qiu family wants to do, they have to consider whether they can bear the consequences of mutual destruction and the exchange of foundations.

Moreover, the Xu family has a major advantage: Xu Xujun is in his prime, at least twenty years younger than the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qiu family!
