Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 106 Break off the engagement?
"The Heart Sutra of Ten Thousand Poisons? This is not bad either."

Besides the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lin Changyue searched through all of Blackwater Poison Lord's belongings and discovered a Poison Scripture.

The special poisonous insects that have died inside the gourd magic weapon should have been cultivated by the Blackwater Poison Lord based on this poison manual.

However, after reviewing the information, Lin Changyue discovered that cultivating poisonous insects was extremely difficult, requiring very specific conditions.

The special resources required to cultivate a second-tier poisonous insect are estimated to be twice as many as those required to cultivate a normal spirit beast.

The Blackwater Poison King was probably cultivated for at least thirty or forty years, and special methods were used and considerable costs were paid, but it was only raised to a level comparable to the second tier, not a true second-tier poisonous insect.

"Forget it, let's just stick to raising the Red Feather Bird. Although it eats a lot and is a bit dim-witted, it's relatively easy to raise, and the resources needed for its evolution aren't that hard to find..."

Lin Changyue shook his head, threw the Poison Sutra into the corner of his storage bag, and stopped thinking about it.

in fact.

Even common spirit beasts like the Crimson Feather Bird are not easy to cultivate. The resources required are beyond the reach of most Foundation Establishment families, let alone Qi Refining cultivators. They simply don't have the financial resources to quickly improve the bloodline and realm of a spirit beast.

Putting aside other things, the third-tier demon beast blood jade would never have been available on the market if it weren't for the Luan bird opening it.

"Back to the market."

Lin Changyue glanced at the dozens of rogue cultivators on the small island below and said, "It's alright, you can all disperse now."

After saying that, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the vast rain.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to Master Lin Fu!"

The scattered cultivators all bowed and paid their respects.

……

"My husband, you're finally back. Something's happened!"

As soon as Lin Changyue returned to Qixing Island Market, his wife Ding Qingxue came to find him, looking worried and anxious.

"Don't panic, what happened?"

Lin Changyue asked her to sit down and speak slowly.

Ding Qingxue, without even pausing to catch her breath, hurriedly said, "Qingchan has suddenly gone mad for some reason, suddenly insisting on breaking off the engagement! I've been trying to persuade her these past few days, but it's no use!"

The marriage between Lin Qingchan and Jin Chuwei, a young genius from the Jin family, should have been held a year ago, and she would have married into the Jin family.

However, due to the sudden war between the two major sects, the Glazed Tile School and the Xuanbing Hall, the situation became turbulent. In particular, the Jin family's location was relatively close to the border between the two sides, making it a severely affected area.

As a family located near the front lines, the Jin family needed to cooperate with the Xuanbing Hall in many ways, while also preventing the Liuli Sect from taking their anger out on them. This is why the wedding was repeatedly postponed.
Now that a year of war has passed, the conflict between the two sides has gradually become a stalemate, and the situation has gradually stabilized. Some time ago, the two families even discussed and prepared to put the wedding on the agenda again.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingchan suddenly returned to Qixing Island Market and said she wanted to annul the engagement!
Ding Qingxue inquired about the reason, but couldn't get a clear answer.

Lin Qingchan's answer was that she suddenly looked down on Jin Chuwei, felt that Jin Chuwei was not good enough for her, and wanted to give up before they got married.

Ding Qingxue naturally didn't want her daughter to act recklessly like that.

It was a perfect marriage, a match made in heaven in her eyes. The two liked each other and had been in a relationship for several years. How could they just break off the engagement like that?
Ding Qingxue knew Jin Chuwei well. He came from a good family, had excellent spiritual root aptitude, and was said to be about to enter the ninth level of Qi Refining. He was likely to successfully establish his foundation.

In comparison, his daughter Lin Qingchan, despite being nurtured by her father Lin Changyue with various elixirs and precious medicines, is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and has already been surpassed by her younger brother Lin Qingyao, who is five years younger.

At this pace, it's uncertain whether the foundation can be laid smoothly in the future.

Therefore, Ding Qingxue believed that her daughter Lin Qingchan's marriage to Jin Chuwei was not a marriage of convenience.

It would be great if the two children could be together.

After listening to his wife Ding Qingxue's story, Lin Changyue frowned slightly.

“Qingchan is not an immature child. Her desire to annul the engagement is definitely impulsive and not as simple as losing interest. There must have been some conflict between her and that Jin family boy.”

Lin Changyue did not believe that Lin Qingchan had suddenly changed her mind.

He understands his daughter.

If she absolutely has to break off the engagement, it's most likely because something unavoidable happened between them that made her want to cancel it.

“I know… but when I asked her, she wouldn’t give me the specific reason. So, I think I still have to go to the Jin family and ask what exactly happened. What do you think, my husband?” Ding Qingxue asked tentatively.

Lin Changyue nodded and said, "We do need to go to the Jin family."

In his opinion, something must have happened to the Jin family.

If either of them had changed their minds, Lin Changyue felt it was more likely that the Jin family's son had changed his mind!

Lin Qingchan was used to being the 'big sister' in front of her younger siblings since she was a child, and she was the leader of the group of children. She was very concerned about her image.

If Jin Chuwei has truly changed her mind, she might feel ashamed and unwilling to speak out, and it's possible that she would take the initiative to annul the engagement.

Lin Changyue narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze cold.

If it really is true that the Jin family's son has changed his mind and let his daughter down, then he will not let the Jin family get away with it!

……

……

Day two.

Before Lin Changyue could even have a heart-to-heart talk with his daughter Lin Qingchan, the person in question unexpectedly came to his door on her own initiative.

Jin Gaoyuan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Jin family, brought Jin Chuwei to the Seven Star Island Market.

The Jin family's hurried arrival only confirmed Lin Changyue's suspicions.

If they weren't guilty and felt guilty, why would they have come so quickly? However, Lin Changyue still patiently received the two of them personally.

Upon meeting, Jin Gaoyuan wore a bitter and apologetic expression. "Brother Changyue! I'm so sorry, so very sorry! I've brought this brat here to apologize to you! It's our Jin family that has wronged the Lin family and Qingchan!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Changyue's anger flared up.

It seems the daughter's decision to call off the engagement really is because the Jin family is causing trouble!

"You scoundrel, apologize to Brother Changyue right now!"

As he spoke, Jin Gaoyuan turned around and glared at Jin Chuwei.

Jin Chuwei looked guilty. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle. I've let Qingchan down. Is Qingchan in the Seven Star Island Market? I want to talk to her."

Lin Changyue waved his hand and said coldly, "Tell me what happened first!"

"Ugh……"

Jin Gaoyuan sighed and began to slowly explain the reason: "This matter has to start from when Chu Wei was a child."

original.

When Jin Chuwei was a child, the Jin family patriarch had arranged a betrothal for him.

The other party is the granddaughter of a friend of the Jin family patriarch.

Her name is Yan Yunxiu.

Grandpa Yan Yunxiu was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been active in the Xuanbing Palace territory for many years.

But twenty years ago, he suddenly left and disappeared without a trace.

At that time, Jin Chuwei was very young, less than ten years old. Although she and Yan Yunxiu were childhood sweethearts and inseparable since they were little.

But how deep can children's feelings be? As time goes by, they will forget their childhood playmates.

For so many years, there has been no news of Yan Yunxiu and her grandfather, and their fate is unknown. Therefore, the 'arranged marriage' made back then has long been disregarded.

Even Jin Chuwei herself had almost forgotten about Yan Yunxiu's existence.

But to everyone's surprise, about half a year ago, Yan Yunxiu suddenly appeared!
When Yan Yunxiu reappeared, she was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the young age of only twenty-six!
But that's not the most important thing.

Most importantly, it's about Yan Yunxiu's current identity!

Yan Yunxiu is now a disciple of a Core Formation Realm cultivator from the 'Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce'!

Lin Changyue knew about the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce without Jin Gaoyuan's introduction.

This chamber of commerce is not a force within the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom, but its business covers several cultivation kingdoms, including Yu Kingdom, making it extremely powerful.

Although the Chamber of Commerce does not have a Nascent Soul True Monarch in charge, due to its special nature, its reputation in the cultivation world of Yu Kingdom is second only to the two Nascent Soul sects, Qingming Sword Sect and Jiuxiao Thunder Control Hall, and even surpasses the Core Formation sects such as Xuanbing Hall and Liuli Sect!
Therefore, people from the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce have a very high status, and even major Core Formation sects will give them some face.

Yan Yunxiu became a disciple of a Core Formation cultivator in the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce and was greatly favored. She also successfully established her foundation before the age of thirty, which clearly indicates that she holds a very high position within the Chamber of Commerce.

Such a person would be treated with great respect even at the Xuanbing Hall, something that a down-on-their-luck family like the Jin family could not compare to.

but.

To the great joy of the Jin family, Yan Yunxiu, though she had been gone for twenty years before suddenly reappearing, had not forgotten Jin Chuwei, nor the 'arranged marriage' they had made back then.

Upon returning, he made no attempt to hide his longing and affection for Jin Chuwei, and stated quite frankly that he would fulfill the agreement made by their elders years ago.

According to Jin Gaoyuan.

Yan Yunxiu's current status is extraordinary, and neither Jin Chuwei nor the Jin family can contend with her.

The other party still remembered Jin Chuwei and wanted to marry her, so the Jin family had no choice but to comply.

Otherwise, if they angered Yan Yunxiu and her master, the Core Formation Realm expert of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, a single word from them could bring the Jin family to their doom.

"Very well! The Jin family is so afraid of offending the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, does that mean my Lin family is a pushover that can be bullied at will without any scruples?" Lin Changyue's anger intensified after hearing this.

Although the Jin family used tactful language, their meaning was quite clear.

The implication was that they had to give up on Lin Qingchan and let Jin Chuwei marry Yan Yunxiu!

"Brother Changyue, please calm down!" Jin Gaoyuan quickly apologized again, speaking in a humble tone, "The Lin family is now the number one Foundation Establishment family under the Xuanbing Hall, without a doubt. How could our Jin family dare to offend them? It's just... the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce is simply too powerful. It's not something our family can contend with."

Jin Gaoyuan adopted a humble attitude, but then changed the subject and said with a forced smile, "Moreover, Chu Wei and Yan Yunxiu were indeed betrothed as children much earlier. Now that she's back, she has the moral high ground."

Lin Changyue could no longer suppress his anger and shouted, "Since your Jin family already has a betrothal, why did you insist on arranging a marriage with my Lin family in the first place?"

Jin Gaoyuan said awkwardly, "Back then...back then we thought Yan Yunxiu and her grandfather had disappeared without a trace and wouldn't be coming back, right?"

Lin Changyue said coldly, word by word, "Then you should tell this Yan Yunxiu the truth: your Jin family thought she was long dead, so you arranged for Jin Chuwei to be remarried. The childhood betrothal from back then is null and void!"

“This…this…” Jin Gaoyuan looked troubled.

Lin Changyue took a deep breath, not wanting to waste any more words on this old man.

He had witnessed this person's shamelessness a few years ago and didn't like it.

However, considering that his daughter Lin Qingchan had a good impression of this Jin family boy, he reluctantly agreed to the Jin family's proposal.

Looking back now, the Jin family really is shameless.

So Lin Changyue looked directly at Jin Chuwei, who had his head down, and asked bluntly, "Jin Chuwei, do you like Yan Yunxiu or my daughter Lin Qingchan? Now I'm giving you a choice. Think it over before you answer! Do you want to marry my daughter Lin Qingchan or Yan Yunxiu?"
