Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

Jiang Chengze looked at his master's back and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Master usually spoils Junior Sister Yingqiu too much, to the point that she is becoming increasingly lawless.

How dare he attack Zhong Ran in front of so many people? Does he really think everyone is a fool?

After resting for a day, Zhong Ran felt refreshed and full of energy.

She went to her parents' room, called Mu Jinning and Zhong Yan over, and discussed things with them.

"Xiao Ran, just tell me what's on your mind." Zhong Zhihong looked at his youngest daughter, having learned so much from her these past few days.

She felt both proud and somewhat embarrassed, especially when she saw how respectful the older generation was to her.

They, as parents, have become a burden to their youngest daughter.

"Father, I'm thinking, should we keep wandering around, or should we find a place to settle down and rebuild our family?"

Having a family to back you up is still beneficial for cultivators.

Of course, it doesn't really mean much to her.

But later, the older sister and the two older brothers will all get married and have children.

A powerful family brings great benefits to its descendants.

Zhong Zhihong and his wife exchanged a glance and remained silent for a while before saying, "Xiao Ran, building a family is not an easy thing."

"First and foremost, you need a strong foundation, whether it's spiritual weapons, cultivation techniques, various spiritual treasures, or even powerful individuals. These are all part of a family's foundation."

"Perhaps, we have quite a lot now, so it wouldn't be difficult to start a family."

“But we need to have our own source of income, and we can’t rely on you for support all the time.”

“The spiritual veins are actually the core that supports a family.”

Spiritual veins can produce spirit stones, which can be used for family cultivation.

Recruiting strong individuals is not difficult. With Zhong Ran and Zhong Yan's reputation, as long as the word is spread, many strong individuals will want to join them.

But they can't rely on Zhong Ran's efforts for everything.

She needs a lot of spirit stones for her own cultivation, and supporting a family on top of that would put too much pressure on her.

The main reason is that they rely entirely on recruited strong individuals, and if these individuals turn against them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They still need to produce their own supreme expert, someone no one would dare to easily bully.

In fact, with the current strength of the Zhong family, they could easily establish a clan in the Eastern Region and become a top-tier clan.

After all, they have already reached the Nascent Soul stage and are considered powerful figures in the Eastern Region.

If he were to return to the Northern Region, needless to say, he could easily become a lord.

However, that area is no longer conducive to their current development.

The Central Region is extremely conducive to everyone's development, but there are also more powerful individuals here. People like them, who are at the Nascent Soul stage, can only be considered a small family.

Rather than that, it would be better to continue traveling around with Zhong Ran, at least that way I can continue to grow.

Zhong Ran fell silent, and Murong Ning chuckled, "Ranran, there's no need to rush to establish a family. We have plenty of time."

Once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, it becomes very difficult for many people to advance further.

Perhaps one day they will all be able to leave this plane and travel to a higher world plane.

There's really no need to rush into building up any family power.

They no longer rely on family influence or power to elevate themselves.

Cui Miaozi took her hand and said softly, "Xiao Ran, I'm thinking that we won't follow you anymore. We have enough strength to protect ourselves, so we can train around here. It shouldn't be too bad."

Zhong Ran smiled and said, "Mother, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just thinking that if we had a family like that, recruiting strong people shouldn't be a problem."

It was because Lou Ying insisted on recognizing her as his master that she had this misconception.

With a powerful figure in charge, no one in the family would dare to bully them.

However, she did forget that while recruiting strong individuals is easy, acquiring resources is not.

Whether it's her, Zhong Yan, or even Mu Jinning, they all need a lot of resources to cultivate.

In the current situation, it is indeed not easy to support a family.

"Let's train together for a while, and then head straight to the next state block."

Cui Miaozi and Zhong Zhihong exchanged a glance, and finally nodded.

"So, where should we go next? Should we head deeper into the mountains?"

Zhong Ran stared blankly for a while before saying, "Let's head to Thunder City first."

The top-grade spirit stones she now possesses should be able to help her break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The lightning in Thunder City could conceal the unusual phenomena that occurred during her advancement.

At the same time, she can also use the power of lightning there to help her break through to a higher realm, killing two birds with one stone.

“Alright, then let’s head to Thunder City first.” Mu Jinning agreed: “Ranran, what kind of flying beast did Old Man Teng give you? Can we all take it with us?”

Zhong Ran smiled; what she was most satisfied with was the fifth-tier flying beast that President Teng had given her.

"It's a Golden Feathered Bird, very beautiful, a fifth-tier bird, it can easily carry twenty or thirty people."

However, she really couldn't take in any more people after that, because having too many people isn't always a good thing.

Alternatively, we could train separately when the time comes.

However, everyone now believes she is a genius with great fortune, and everyone wants to stay by her side, so separating them doesn't seem to be so easy.

Well, let's just take it one step at a time.

"The Golden Feather Bird's bloodline is quite strong; it can grow to at least the seventh rank."

Zhong Yan laughed and said, "Sister, do you still have some ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk? Feed it a few drops to help improve its bloodline purity, and breaking through to the ninth rank will not be a problem in the future."

The bloodline of a monster is extremely important, and it is extremely difficult to transcend the limits of bloodline.

But a rare treasure like the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk would definitely help it improve its bloodline and gain its loyalty.

The loyalty of monsters is more reliable than that of humans.

Zhong Ran smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'll give it a few drops then, and it'll be easier for us to go anywhere in the future."

Although flying boats can also fly, they require a lot of spirit stones.

Those spirit stones can be used to feed magical beasts for a very long time.

However, Warcraft generally can't carry too many people, so if there are too many people, flying boats are more convenient.

Therefore, flying boats are generally used by various families, sects, and other forces.

With that in mind, she took out the flying boat and handed it to her father.

"Father, this is for you. You might need it in the future."

This airship isn't particularly advanced, but it's still usable.

“Okay, then I’ll stay.” Zhong Zhihong was in a great mood. He had wanted a flying boat before when he was in the family.

Unfortunately, they didn't have that kind of strength.

Now that his daughter has brought the flying boat to him, he naturally has no reason to refuse.

The matter was settled, and Zhong Ran left first to find Lou Ying.

Lou Ying was still living alone in her rented meditation room, where she was meditating and cultivating.

When she heard the knocking, she opened her eyes abruptly, then stopped practicing and went to open the door.

“Young Master.” Her eyes lit up slightly; Zhong Ran had finally remembered her.
