The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

After hearing the report from the alliance disciples, Jiang Xin suddenly stood up and said angrily, "I've already found out everything. This is not the Peng family's territory at all. This mountain range is ownerless. What are the Peng family trying to do?"

She was about to go to the mountain gate to argue with the Peng family, but Xiao Han quickly stopped her, "Let the people downstairs bring them up."

A leader of the alliance ran to the mountain gate to quarrel. What would the other monks in the alliance think?

If we have to argue, we should do it behind closed doors.

Jiang Xin also suddenly realized that she was too impatient.

The truth is that she took this career too seriously, and she became a little worried and anxious, and lost her rationality.

So she ordered the disciple who reported to her to bring the Peng family up.

Before anyone came up, Xiao Han asked, "How strong are the Peng family members?"

Jiang Xin said with a grim expression, "The ancestor of the Peng family is at the Refining Void Realm, and there are five or six Spiritual Transformation cultivators in the family. They can be considered an old and established family."

Xiao Han: This idea is very difficult. I’m afraid Jiang Xin will have a hard time with it.

Soon, a middle-aged male cultivator who had reached the Divine Transformation stage walked in with two Nascent Soul cultivators, a man and a woman.

The Peng family had obviously already inquired about the Loose Cultivator Alliance very clearly, so as soon as they entered the hall, they perfunctorily bowed to Jiang Xin, who was sitting in the main seat at the head, and said, "Peng Li greets Fellow Daoist Jiang."

After all, Jiang Xin had been in power for many years and had calmed down at this moment.

She said to everyone with a forced smile: "Three fellow Taoists, please take a seat!"

After the Peng family sat down, she pretended to be ignorant and said, "Fellow Daoist Peng, what's the matter with you today?"

Peng Li said proudly, "I'm here to inform Fellow Daoist Jiang that the Centipede Mountains are my Peng family's territory. Fellow Daoist Jiang, please move your Loose Cultivator Alliance away immediately."

The Centipede Mountains are where Jiang Xin is now. Looking from the sky, there are many small ridges on both sides of a main mountain range, just like a giant centipede turning into a group of mountains, hence the name Centipede Mountains.

Jiang Xin's face darkened as he said, "I've already found out. This mountain range is ownerless and doesn't belong to the Peng family. Even though the Peng family is a big family, they can't be so unreasonable, right?"

Peng Li pretended to be surprised: "Who told you that this is ownerless territory?"

Jiang Xin said, "Qi Wei, the direct disciple of the Wanfa Sect's leader, told me this himself. How could this be false?"

The Wanfa Sect is a medium-sized sect in this area, and its strength is similar to that of the Peng family. Because the Centipede Mountains are not high in altitude and the spiritual energy is thin, there are not even many useful spiritual herbs and monsters in it. In order to avoid disputes and coexist peacefully, the Wanfa Sect and the Peng family have not explicitly stated their possession of this mountain range.

Peng Li said, "That's because the Wanfa Sect's territory ends at the edge of the Centipede Mountains. They can naturally say that this place is ownerless. It's not theirs anyway."

Jiang Xin did not argue with him anymore, but took out the treasure in his palm and began to contact the direct disciple of the master of Wanfamen.

This disciple met Jiang Xin in the secret realm. He was attracted by Jiang Xin's appearance and the aura of a superior, and was already showing signs of becoming Jiang Xin's bootlicker.

So when Jiang Xin contacted him, he immediately said with a mixture of surprise and complaint, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you're so mean. You didn't even inform me about the establishment of the Loose Cultivator Alliance in advance, and now you've only remembered to invite me? Haha."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Xin's face, then she smiled and said, "Of course I want to invite you, but the Loose Cultivator Alliance is a small force after all, and I'm afraid you'll think I'm out of your league."

It wasn't that she didn't want to invite Qi Wei, but inviting Qi Wei without inviting the Wanfa Sect's leader seemed disrespectful to the Wanfa Sect. However, if she really invited the Wanfa Sect's leader, as she had said, she was worried that others would dislike the Loose Cultivator Alliance for being too weak and thus refuse to come.

If that happened, she would really lose face.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he decided not to invite either side. Once the Loose Cultivator Alliance gained a firm foothold and became bigger and stronger, he would be qualified to be on an equal footing with these forces.

Qi Wei, the treasure in his palm, smiled brightly, "Oh, it's so strange for you to say that. You don't consider me a friend."

Jiang Xin didn't bother to say those polite words to him at this moment. She pointed the treasure in her palm at Peng Li and the other two, and said, "Do you know this Taoist friend Peng Li?"

Qi Wei saw the arrogant Peng Li from the treasure in his palm, and quickly put away his smile and bowed to this side, "Qi Wei greets Senior Peng."

He was one of the master's direct disciples, so naturally he knew the high-level cultivators from the neighboring Peng family.

Jiang Xin continued, "You clearly told me the other day that the Centipede Mountains are unowned land, belonging neither to the Peng family nor to the Wanfa Sect. But today, Fellow Daoist Peng came to my house and firmly stated that the Centipede Mountains are his, so I wanted to verify this with you."

Since Qi Wei has special feelings for Jiang Xin, he naturally has to actively speak for Jiang Xin at this moment.

He immediately said, "Wanfamen doesn't recognize this statement. When did the Centipede Mountain Range become the property of the Peng family? How come I didn't know about it?"

Peng Li snorted coldly, "Boy, you are not the ruler of Wanfamen, what do you know?"

Qi Wei was also angry because Peng Li had humiliated him in front of his beloved. He immediately said, "Okay, I'll go call my master and have him talk to Senior Peng."

Now that the treasure in her palm has been closed, Jiang Xin is no longer in a hurry. She still has the mind to instruct the people below to pour tea for the monks of the Peng family.

After a while, the palm treasure vibrated and Jiang Xin clicked to answer the call.

Qi Wei and an old monk appeared in the picture.

Jiang Xin first bowed to the screen as if he were her equal, then said, "I'm sorry to bother Master Xue."

Master Xue of the Wanfa Sect was also a Divine Transformation cultivator. He said calmly, "That's alright. I haven't congratulated Fellow Daoist Jiang yet."

After the greetings, Jiang Xin pointed the treasure in his palm at Peng Li and said, "Fellow Daoist Peng, please tell us in front of Master Xue whether the Centipede Mountain Range is ownerless or not."

Peng Li ignored Jiang Xin and bowed to Sect Leader Xue. "Sect Leader Xue, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Sect Leader Xue smiled and said, "I'm doing fine. Thank you, Brother Peng, for your concern."

After greeting them, Peng Li began to reveal his true purpose for causing trouble today. "Master Xue, this Centipede Mountain Range is the border separating our two families. If we allow an outside force to occupy it, wouldn't it make our families appear incompetent?"

The two families had previously had disputes over neighboring territories elsewhere, so Sect Leader Xue didn't have much good feelings towards the Peng family and was happy to sabotage them.

"Fellow Daoist Peng, your words are a bit too overbearing. Since the Centipede Mountains don't belong to our two families, if someone else wants to settle there, why are you being so aggressive and refusing to give them a chance to survive?"

Peng Li cursed the old fox in his heart for his high-sounding words, but in fact he was just trying to slap the Peng family in the face.

He finally dropped a bombshell, "Master Xue spoke so righteously, but it seems he's not interested in the minerals in the Centipede Mountains."

As expected, as soon as these words came out, Sect Leader Xue on the opposite side was immediately moved. "What did you say? There are mineral veins in the Centipede Mountains?"
