Immortal Clan: Starting from Managing a Blessed Land.

Chapter 42 The more fellow cultivators you have, the higher your aptitude will be!
Three days later, early morning.

At this time, on the right side of the Huangyan Mountains, at the Hu family’s base.

The sky is filled with clouds and mist, and the morning light is shining.

Among the green mountains, there seems to be clouds and mist.

The Hu family's immortal cultivation family residence was built halfway up a large mountain range.

The Hu family did not build a town like other merchants. The entire family was a mountain village with ordinary people taking care of various chores.

Deep in the Hujia Village, a magnificent attic is embedded on the cliff.

The green tiles and flying eaves, outlined with gold powder, are very elegant.

At this time, a middle-aged male cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training was walking slowly up.

It was Hu Yi, the head of the Hu family's foreign affairs department.

Although he is over seventy years old, he doesn't look old at all.

Her figure is tall and straight, like a proud green pine, and her white hair is lightly tied up with an ancient jade hairpin.

His eyes are deep and his temperament is calm.

Hu Yi held the jade slip in his hand, walked up to the attic slowly, knocked on the door and said in a deep voice:
"Master, there is news."

"Enter."

An emotionless voice came from inside the house.

Hu Yi pushed the door open and walked in with a respectful look.

The interior of the house was decorated in a simple style with carved wood patterns. A young monk in a black robe was sitting on a cushion in the center of the room.

He was wearing a black and red Taoist robe, and his long blood-red hair fell like a waterfall.

His eyes were deep and his face was expressionless.

This person is none other than the head of the Hu family, Hu Xue Leng!
Born with low-grade spiritual roots, he is only eighty-four years old, but he is already in the late stage of foundation building. He can be called a legend of the Hu family!
After Hu Yi's respectful greetings, he knelt down on the mat in front of Hu Xue Leng.

He handed over the jade slip in his hand and said:

"Master, there have been two major changes in the family recently."

"Firstly, on the mine front, the surprise invasion plan that was originally well planned has suffered heavy losses for some reason!"

"I heard from the survivors that a young and outstanding disciple from the Shang family suddenly came. He was very powerful and killed two people from my Hu family who were in the late stage of Qi training and ten people from the middle stage of Qi training!"

After a pause, Hu Yi noticed that Hu Xue Leng's face was still calm, and then he continued:

"Secondly, the hooks we planted in the merchants were suddenly discovered three days ago, and several of them were pulled out."

"According to the information that Hook sent back last time, this matter was also discovered by the young talent in the merchant business."

"This man's name is Shang Ting!"

Two consecutive pieces of bad news caused the Hu family to suffer heavy losses.

Hu Yi glanced cautiously at the face of the patriarch in front of him.

However, contrary to expectations, Hu Xue Leng still had no expression on his face. He just nodded in understanding and said:
"I see."

“There are some losses from these two things, but it’s not a big deal.”

"Shang Jia Shang Rucai's life span is coming to an end. They are eager to launch a new foundation. We just need to grasp this key point."

Hu Yi's expression became serious, and he responded in a deep voice:

"understand!"

"By the way, Patriarch, you have been in seclusion for four years to comprehend your destiny, and you suddenly came out recently. Could it be..."

Seeing the curiosity on Hu Yi's face.

Hu Xue smiled coldly:

"Not bad, I have gained a lot of insights, and my blood realm has improved. I have also started to get a glimpse of my third innate talent."

Hearing this, Hu Yi leaned forward in delight and congratulated:
"Congratulations, Patriarch! If you can awaken your third innate talent, the day of your Dan formation will not be far away!"

In the entire Hu family, only the old people like them know how legendary Hu Xue Leng is.

He has low-grade spiritual roots, but can build a foundation at the age of forty.

Moreover, he had many wives and concubines, and most of his offspring had medium-grade spiritual roots or above, and some even had high-grade spiritual roots.

It’s because Hu Xue Leng awakened his blood-born nature, the [Blood God Bat].

At the age of 24, Hu Xue Leng suffered the tragic death of his parents and all his relatives in a tide of souls in the Western Desert.

Awakened an extremely powerful talent, [Bloodline].

The effect is: the more descendants and relatives you have, the more your spiritual roots will improve!
As a result, Hu Xue Leng's spiritual root qualifications were upgraded from low-grade spiritual roots to medium-grade spiritual roots overnight!

After he established his foundation and became the head of the family, he bred many offspring. His aptitude was even upgraded to a top-grade spiritual root!
In addition, he practices the way of blood, has a cold and ruthless personality, and can be said to be a natural head of the family.

He has ruled the Hu family for decades, and gradually developed it from the weakest of the three families to a family with two foundations.

To dominate the Huangyan Mountains, the Shang and Yao families were forced to join forces to fight against them.

Now the old patriarch of the Shang family is getting old and frail. In a few years, the Hu family will be able to unify the entire Huangyan Mountains!
By then, the Hu family will have broken through resource limitations and continued to reproduce, with the number of cultivators exceeding a thousand.

If the patriarch's spiritual root aptitude continues to grow, maybe he can be upgraded to heavenly spiritual root! ?

Not only can the pill be formed, but even the golden pill is possible!

Therefore, Hu Yi was so excited when he heard that Hu Xue Leng had the hope of awakening his third innate talent.

The family's eternal cause lies on the shoulders of the head of the family.

At this time, Hu Yiping calmed his face, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and asked again:

"Master, the mines are suffering heavy losses. Should we stop fighting and withdraw?"

After all, a foundation-building cultivator cannot act rashly and break the tacit understanding.

And now the business community has produced a young man named Shang Ting who has strong fighting ability.

If the fight continues, the Hu family, with many young men, cannot afford such a loss.

"No, we can't retreat."

But the next second, Hu Xue Leng decisively rejected it.

Hu Yi was stunned.

Hu Xue Leng's face was gloomy. He slowly spoke and analyzed the situation:
"The key to the current situation lies in whether Shang Haoran can successfully build his foundation."

"So, this is exactly the most dangerous time for businesses."

“Therefore, not only will we not retreat, we will also increase the bet!”

Hu Xueleng continued:
"Shang Ting's son is extraordinary, so we can surround him without attacking him. We only need to tie up most of Shang Ting's children and energy in the mine."

"At this time, the merchant city must be empty"

Hu Yi's body trembled:
"Do you want to attack Shangjia City with Patriarch Hu Ren and kill Shangjia Old Ghost and Shang Haoran!?"

Hu Xue nodded indifferently:

"This is the second purpose, to see if the business owner will give us a chance."

"However, the Shangjia City has a protective formation, and the old ghost is cunning and in real-time communication with the Yao family's old ghost, so there is no need to hold too much hope."

Then he went on to talk about the main purpose.

Targeting Shang Haoran!
Five years ago, Hu Zuo and Hu You and their group who were sent to intercept the carriage team all died.

But Shang Haoran has not been able to establish a foundation so far.

This means that either he did not succeed, or the merchant did not get the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, due to the limitation of the second-level spiritual vein, Shang Haoran could only try to build his foundation in the Huangyan Mountains.

Hu Xueleng finally said:
"Therefore, once there is a sense of spiritual energy for foundation building, Hu Ren and I will attack into the empty Shangjia City, directly interrupt Shang Haoran's foundation building process, and kill Shangjia's hope!"

"At worst, we can just delay it. It won't take more than ten years. The merchant boss will die, and we will still be the winner in the end."

“Time is on our side.”

After hearing this, Hu Yi suddenly understood.

Indeed, if they attacked rashly, the ancestors of the Shang and Yao families would be forced to unite and jointly attack the Hu family.

Even if we win by then, we will suffer heavy losses.

Especially the old businessman who is also in the late stage of foundation building.

If before dying, I try to find the head of the family and blow myself up in exchange for one, that would be a huge loss.

Hu Yi took the order, left the room, and walked down the stairs slowly, looking thoughtful:
"Indeed, time is on the side of our Hu family."
