Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 108: Giving someone face but not daring to retaliate?
After leaving Seven Star Island, Jin Gaoyuan immediately took Jin Chuwei back to the Jin family's territory to discuss the troubles they might face with the patriarch.

"Not only has Lin Changyue's magical power surpassed yours, but he also possesses a terrifying level of body refinement?"

Jin Xuanfeng, the head of the Jin family, found it somewhat unbelievable after hearing this.

Although he was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he was considered extremely talented among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of these cultivation families.

However, it took nearly twenty years to go from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage!

Lin Changyue has only been in the Foundation Establishment stage for six or seven years, yet he has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment?

It's not that this person's spiritual root aptitude was very poor; it's that he only obtained a treasure to improve his spiritual root aptitude after discovering his talent in talismanic arts, and barely managed to successfully establish his foundation.
How come his cultivation speed is now comparable to that of the true disciples of the Xuanbing Hall and the Liuli Sect?

Even more outrageous is that this person's physical cultivation level far surpasses his magical power cultivation level, easily crushing those in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, and he is at least a mid-grade second-tier cultivator.

In other words, Lin Changyue's powerful physique makes him comparable to him!

"If I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have found it hard to believe," Jin Gaoyuan said with a wry smile.

Jin Xuanfeng pondered for a long time before firmly saying, "No matter how strong Lin Changyue's talent is or how high his achievements may be in the future, our Jin family can only rely on the 'Myriad Elephants Chamber of Commerce' for now! Even if Lin Changyue has the opportunity to become a Core Formation True Person in the future, we cannot waver!"

“Yes, that’s my opinion too,” Jin Xuanfeng agreed.

They have offended Lin Changyue because of Yan Yunxiu and the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce behind her, to the point that he wants to annul the engagement.

If, at this moment, one sees Lin Changyue's hidden strength and wavers again, becoming a fence-sitter, then one will please neither side and will be courting death.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; once the move is made, there's no going back.

Even if Lin Changyue is very talented, it will take him a long time to realize his potential, while Yan Yunxiu is a 'big shot' he can rely on right now!

As long as Jin Chuwei and Yan Yunxiu get married, the Jin family will be able to connect with the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, and all their current predicaments will be easily resolved.

How can we talk about the future if we don't focus on the present?
Moreover, even if Lin Changyue does become a Core Formation True Person in the future, does that mean he can compete with the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce?
It should be noted that although the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce does not have a Nascent Soul True Monarch in charge, it has nearly double-digit Core Formation True Persons within the chamber!
There are even late-stage Core Formation cultivators among them!
In addition, its transnational nature and complex network of connections and relationships make it far superior to even long-established Core Formation sects like the Xuanbing Hall and the Liuli Sect.

How can a True Person from a small family, who has managed to achieve Core Formation by sheer luck, possibly contend with the Myriad Elephants Merchant Guild?
"However, it's better to resolve conflicts than to perpetuate them. Although we must ensure that Chu Wei marries Yun Xiu, we should avoid offending the Lin family too much."

Clan Chief Jin Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "If Lin Changyue really can't swallow this after a while and wants to bring his daughter to annul the engagement, we should try to give in to him. Letting him vent his anger won't cost us anything. After all, we were indeed in the wrong in this matter."

The Jin family's late-stage Foundation Establishment elder passed away two years ago.

Now, only the two of them remain in the Foundation Establishment stage within the entire family.

Although Jin Xuanfeng is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and is quite strong, the Jin family has made too many enemies in the past, and is currently struggling.

I really don't want to provoke an opponent like the Lin family again.

At least.

Before the Jin family is fully bound to the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce after Jin Chuwei and Yan Yunxiu get married, the Jin family should try to keep a low profile, make more friends and fewer enemies.

Jin Gaoyuan said worriedly, "We should be more tolerant. I'm just worried that although Lin Changyue is usually a very gentle and easy-going person, his attitude completely changes when it comes to his daughter. How many times did I have to propose to him before he reluctantly agreed to the engagement? Now that Chu Wei wants to marry another woman, Lin Changyue says he's breaking off the engagement for the sake of face, but he might still do something drastic!"

Jin Xuanfeng frowned and said, "Our appropriate concessions are already giving him face. But if he keeps pressing the issue and doesn't appreciate our courtesy, then he can't blame us for not giving him face!"

Even if Lin Changyue's physical cultivation surpasses his magical power cultivation, reaching the middle grade of the second rank.

However, a second-tier mid-grade body cultivator is nominally equivalent to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, in actual combat, physical training is not as effective as cultivating magical power!
Body cultivation has declined in the current cultivation world and is almost nowhere to be seen. In addition to the difficulty of cultivation, a major reason is that before reaching the third level, body cultivators cannot compete with cultivators of the same level who possess various magical artifacts.

Therefore, Jin Xuanfeng was willing to give Lin Changyue face.

But if Lin Changyue doesn't appreciate it, he can show Lin Changyue the power of the Jin family head.

At that time, no one can accuse him of bullying the weak.

"However... just to be on the safe side, we should ask Miss Yan to stay at my Jin family's residence for the next period of time."

"Anyway, Chu Wei and the Lin family girl have completely broken up now, so the next step is to discuss their marriage."

Jin Xuanfeng pondered to himself.

……

……

Two months later.

Lin Changyue then brought his daughter Lin Qingchan to the Jin family to annul the engagement.

Because the Jin family brought many gifts when they came to propose marriage, some of which have been used over the years, they cannot return them untouched.

However, in order not to give anyone a handle to use against him, Lin Changyue naturally had to make up for all the gifts according to the list on the gift list, which took some time.

In addition, Lin Qingchan also needed some time to sort out her feelings.

"Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Jin family has declined in recent years, their clan territory is still extraordinary."

Looking at the various rare treasures, exotic birds and animals, and the richness of spiritual energy within the Jin family's territory, Lin Changyue couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Its foundation is indeed extraordinary.

In comparison, let alone the current Lin family, even the Liu family back then was far inferior to this celestial demeanor.

After all, this is a family that has produced fake alchemists.

"Unfortunately, no matter how blazing the fire or how splendid the flowers, it still reveals a sense of the sun setting in the west."

Lin Changyue sneered inwardly.

The Jin family dared to bully his daughter for the sake of their so-called family future; they deserved to die!

"Senior Lin, we've arrived." The Jin family elder stopped in front of a mountain peak and respectfully gestured an invitation to Lin Changyue and his daughter.

Having received advance notice, the Jin family's higher-ups already knew that Lin Changyue had come to annul the engagement.

However, these Jin family executives were all aware that although Lin Changyue took the initiative to annul the engagement, it was actually the Jin family that had reneged on the agreement first.

Although these elders of the Jin family were somewhat displeased, they felt that Lin Changyue was really disrespecting the Jin family by breaking off the engagement and then coming to bully them. It was as if he was trying to stomp on their face!
But they all obeyed the clan leader's orders and chose to endure.

"Master Lin, please forgive me for not greeting you sooner."

Clan Chief Jin Xuanfeng clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, displaying a friendly demeanor.

Kim Go-won was doing the same thing.

The fact that two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Jin family were waiting for him to come to their door was quite a show of respect.

Lin Changyue merely glanced at the two of them, losing all interest in feigning politeness, and directly declared loudly, "Where is Jin Chuwei? I have brought my daughter, Lin Qingchan, here today to annul the engagement!"

Not only was the sound extremely loud, but Lin Changyue also fully activated his Foundation Establishment realm magic power, enveloping and spreading the sound with magic power, making it extremely penetrating and almost audible throughout most of the Jin family territory.

Jin Xuanfeng raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.

They've really come with ill intentions!

Not only was it blunt and impolite, but it also used such a blatant method of humiliation, showing absolutely no respect for the Jin family.

"I've already sent someone to inform Chu Wei that he'll be here shortly. Master Lin, please come in and have a seat for a while, and have some spiritual tea, how about that?" Jin Xuanfeng managed to keep his composure and said patiently.

Lin Changyue waved his sleeve and refused, saying, "No need. I have no interest in your Jin family's tea! I'll just wait here for Jin Chuwei to arrive!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Xuanfeng's lips twitched, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He was clearly trying his best to suppress his anger.

"call……"

Jin Xuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but finally managed a forced smile and said, "Alright, Master Lin is an impatient person, so let's wait here."

In his opinion.

He and the Jin family have already given Lin Changyue enough face and tolerated him enough.

Although the Jin family has declined from its peak, it is still one of the top-ranked Foundation Establishment families under the Xuanbing Hall. Even the Jin family's enemies do not dare to be so arrogant and openly humiliate the Jin family!

'Just one last time.'

Jin Xuanfeng silently warned himself, which prevented him from losing his temper on the spot.

……

Meanwhile, on another mountain peak, Jin Chuwei was chatting with a purple-clad woman who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

The woman in purple was none other than Yan Yunxiu.

Yan Yunxiu was certainly beautiful, though slightly less so than Lin Qingchan, she was still a rare beauty.

In addition, her cultivation has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and she holds an important position in the Myriad Elephants Chamber of Commerce. Her master is a True Core cultivator, and she possesses a noble temperament that Qi Refining cultivators do not have, like a noble fairy.

In fact, when Lin Changyue brought Lin Qingchan to the Jin family's territory, a clansman came to inform Jin Chuwei immediately so that he could be prepared.

Jin Chuwei originally wanted to go to Huike Peak as soon as possible to welcome Lin Chang and his daughter with the clan leader.

But Yan Yunxiu wouldn't let him go.

When Lin Changyue came to annul the engagement, the Jin family chose to remain silent, and she couldn't be bothered to get involved.

This is an internal matter for the Jin family. Since the Jin family has chosen to set aside their dignity and pride, she, as an outsider, has no right to say anything.

But Jin Chuwei is not an option!
Jin Chuwei is her fiancé. If Jin Chuwei is slapped in the face, it is the same as her being slapped in the face!

How dare a small family in such a remote place be so arrogant?
"This Lin Changyue really thinks he's someone important! He's completely disregarding the Jin family!"

Upon hearing Lin Changyue's telepathic message enveloped in magic, Yan Yunxiu frowned and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.

Jin Chuwei forced a smile and said, "Perhaps he's gotten used to being fawned over by so many Foundation Establishment families over the years. Our Jin family did indeed have to ask the Lin family for favors before, which is why he's so unscrupulous. However, Yan Yun, given your status, you shouldn't stoop to his level."

When Yan Yunxiu returned and discovered that he was engaged to Lin Qingchan, he completely severed ties with Lin Qingchan in order to appease Yan Yunxiu's anger.

It is said that there was not much genuine affection between him and Lin Qingchan, but they had to get engaged for the sake of their families.

Therefore, Yan Yunxiu knew that the Jin family had always been humble and subservient to the Lin family, and had taken the initiative to arrange a marriage.

"Hmph! If it weren't for your sake, Brother Chu Wei, I would have had the Jin family go directly to the Lin family to break off the engagement. I wouldn't have allowed him to come here and act so arrogantly!"

Yan Yunxiu snorted coldly and said, "Uncle Xuanfeng is the same, always so patient. What is there to fear from a small Lin family? So what if they are two second-tier technicians? My Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce has several third-tier technicians cooperating with us!"

Just in case, Jin Xuanfeng specially invited Yan Yunxiu to stay at the Jin family home for a while.

The purpose was that if things really came to a head when Lin Changyue arrived, in addition to intimidating Lin Changyue, he also needed to use Yan Yunxiu and the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce to severely intimidate the Lin family!

After listening, Yan Yunxiu directly advised Jin Xuanfeng not to be patient and to fight back forcefully if Lin Changyue dared to break off the engagement.

Jin Xuanfeng and Jin Chuwei took turns persuading Yan Yunxiu, who reluctantly agreed to let her fiancé suffer some injustice.

after awhile.

When the Jin family came to invite Jin Chuwei to Huike Peak, Yan Yunxiu could no longer control her anger and scolded, "You don't know how to take a chance! Brother Chuwei, come on, I'll go with you to meet this Lin Changyue and see who he really is!"
