Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 214 Successive Breakthroughs, Powerful Lineup, Xu Family's Scheme
The three Golden Core cultivators sat cross-legged in the void, maintaining the opening of the secret realm.

Those who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage either meditated on the deck or returned to their rooms for quiet cultivation.

"It turns out to be him!"

On the Great Jin warship, a middle-aged man in black robes watched Xu Chuan walk into the cabin with a gloomy expression.

This person was the eighth-level Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator we encountered in the "Qinghai Forest".

He comes from the Ding family, a first-class family in the Great Jin Dynasty, and his name is Ding Chunshan.

“I know all the first and second rank families in the Great Wei. This person should come from a third rank family. It seems I need to find someone to inquire about him.”

The revenge for last time must be taken!

Wuhua Secret Realm.

The spiritual energy emanating from it was so thick it was visible to the naked eye.

Xu Mingshu looked around and saw black miasma. She immediately patted her storage bag, took out a Hundred Herbs Pill, and swallowed it.

This is a second-tier detoxification pill.

"What bad luck! We ended up in the most challenging black swamp."

Xu Mingshu looked around again and saw that many places were muddy and the bottomless mud pools were bubbling up from time to time.

Suddenly, a burst of demonic flames attacked from the left.

Xu Mingshu retreated rapidly, taking out the Black Fiend Flag to protect herself.

"Top-tier magic weapon, let's go!"

Behind a huge rock several hundred feet to the left, two figures in black robes vanished in an instant.

Xu Mingshu smiled coldly, patted her spirit beast pouch, and said, "Ah Ying, kill them!"

uh~
A cry of an eagle rang out.

Then a stream of purple-blue light burst forth from the spirit beast pouch, instantly transforming into a giant eagle three or four zhang in size.

This eagle exudes the aura of a Foundation Establishment demon beast, and its feathers are half purple and half blue.

With each flap of its wings, a thunderous sound could be heard, and with a single flap of its wings, it could travel a hundred feet away.

In just a few breaths, he blocked the path of the two demonic cultivators.

"A Foundation Establishment Demon Beast?!"

Xu Ying stared at them with his eyes wide open, and countless feathers mixed with purple lightning and blue flames gathered in front of him, shooting towards the two of them.

The two demonic cultivators immediately took out high-grade defensive magic artifacts to defend themselves.

But only for a moment.

The magical artifacts in their hands quickly lost their luster.

At this moment, Xu Mingshu arrived, raised her hand, and a black cloud surged from the Black Fiend Banner, condensing into the shape of a black fiend dragon, which lunged at one of the people.

One person died on the spot.

The other person tried to run away, but was pierced through from behind by Xu Ying's sharp claws and died.

"You dare mess with your grandma? You're asking for death!"

Then Xu Mingshu patted her storage bag, and two porcelain bottles flew out, one black and one crimson.

These are the Soul-Gathering Bottle and the Blood-Draining Bottle, low-grade magical artifacts that can absorb a person's soul and essence.

Xu Mingshu immediately made a hand seal to collect the souls and essence of the two people.

Collecting souls is to enhance the power of the Soul Banner, while essence blood nourishes the Blood-Devouring Bead.

Although both of these are magical artifacts, they have great potential and can be used as the Xu family's trump cards.

Among the Xu family members who entered, all possessed this kind of magical artifact.

Afterwards, Xu Mingshu collected the two people's storage bags, the dropped magical artifacts, and the "Jin" character token on their bodies.

This token serves as proof of a kill.

Each token is worth ten points, and spirit herbs, materials, etc., also have points.

The most valuable items are naturally the main ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills, each worth twenty points.

Then Xu Ying spat out a stream of azure flame, a second-tier spiritual fire, which instantly burned the two corpses to ashes.

"Ah Ying, go back and rest."

Xu Ying cried out once, then transformed into a streak of light and returned to the spirit beast pouch.

Xu Mingshu piloted the magic boat through the air and flew towards the Misty Forest.

Most of the materials for Foundation Building Pills come from this place.

It is also the place where the fiercest fighting has always taken place.

As Xu Mingshu flew, she used her divine sense to explore her surroundings.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they harvested two ancient herbs that were hundreds of years old.

Unfortunately, she had to hurry to meet up with them; otherwise, if she had investigated more thoroughly, she might have gained quite a lot.

"Bloodline connection!"

Using this secret technique, Xu Mingshu flew towards the nearest person.

Three hundred people entered the secret realm, which is not a small number, but it is insignificant in the vast secret realm.

Therefore, Xu Mingshu did not encounter anyone on the way.

"It is Deheng."

Xu Mingshu met up with him and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Auntie, I'm fine. At first, the fighting wasn't too intense. I guess the fighting will increase once we get to the Misty Forest."

"Let's go find the next one."

Next was Xu Mingxian, who had just finished fighting someone, and a four-colored jade plate was floating in his palm.

The four illusory images disappeared into the jade plate, and then Xu Mingxian put them into his sleeve and they vanished.

Xu Mingshu collected their souls, essence, storage bags, and identity tokens.

"Again, from the Great Jin. As expected, those from the chaotic Great Jin are all very fond of fighting and brawling." Xu Mingshu said, and with a flick of her hand, burned everyone in front of her.

Xu Mingxian made a hand seal and used a secret technique, then opened his eyes and said, "In the southwest, two auras have merged. Let's go there."

Half an hour later.

When Xu Mingshu, Xu Mingxian, and Xu Deheng arrived there, they were met by Xu Deyue and Xu Mingxuan.

Xu Mingxuan smiled slightly, "Only Mingqing is left. He seems to be a bit far away. Judging from the direction of his senses, he is heading towards the Misty Forest. He must have been teleported to the Misty Forest when he came in."

"That kid is really lucky," Xu Mingshu said.

“This is not good luck,” Xu Mingxian said. “The Misty Forest is the most dangerous part of the secret realm, and there are many Foundation Establishment demonic beasts deep inside.”

Without lingering, the group immediately set off for the Misty Forest at top speed.

They flew through the air, very ostentatiously.

Many people below saw it, but seeing that there were many of them, no one dared to make a move.

Not far outside the misty forest.

Xu Mingxuan suddenly took out a jade tablet, which emitted a faint light.

“There are members of the Zhou family nearby. Father said that we should help the Zhou family if we can. Ming Shu, Ming Xian, what do you think?”

“Father said so, so we’ll do as he says,” Xu Mingxian said.

After a brief search, they found the Zhou family elder.

He was being attacked by several late-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts.

Three of them were at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

There were already two or three monster corpses nearby.

Judging from his appearance, he had multiple injuries, his hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely disheveled.

Despite possessing exquisite magical artifacts, they were still unable to withstand the combined attack of multiple demonic beasts of the same realm.

The main problem is that its offensive power is limited.

If one has the ability to kill a monster of the same realm in one or two moves, why should one fear the attack of several monsters?

As the demonic beast attacked, his magical power was somewhat sluggish due to the long battle, and he could only watch helplessly as the snake's tail pierced his chest.

Suddenly.

A black, fiendish dragon attacked, whipping the giant python at the ninth level of Qi Refining away with a single tail swipe.

Immediately afterwards, a flying sword fell from the sky, instantly pinning him to the ground.

buzz~
The Frosty Moon Wheel spun rapidly in the air, radiating dazzling silver light, resembling a moon wheel and exuding extreme cold.

Wherever the moon passed, the ground and all the monsters were frozen.

next moment.

A flying sword beheaded all the demonic beasts.

The Zhou family elder was dumbfounded. The demonic beasts that had nearly killed him were quickly killed by the Xu family members in just a few breaths.

He cupped his hands in thanks to Xu Mingxuan and the others, saying, "Thank you for saving our lives."

"Elder Zhou, please come with us."

"Thank you."

After collecting the monster's corpse, they set off again.

On the Dharma boat.

Elder Zhou swallowed a pill to heal his injuries, and Xu Mingxuan asked, "Elder Zhou, do you have a way to find Fairy Xuehua?"

"Yes, she is in the Misty Forest. I followed the contact to find her, but I was attacked by monsters. If I hadn't met some fellow Daoists, I would probably have become monster food long ago."

After saying that, he told Ye Xuehua her approximate location.

It's closer than Xu Mingqing.

Xu Mingxuan immediately decided to go find Ye Xuehua first.

At this moment, Ye Xuehua was being attacked by two people, both of whom were top geniuses.

One was a demonic cultivator from the Great Jin Dynasty, and the other was from the Great Liang Dynasty.

"Little fairy, you should hand over the Purple Monkey Flower. Although you are strong, you have no chance of winning against the two of us."

Ye Xuehua suddenly sensed that Elder Zhou was rapidly approaching.

Without saying a word, he turned around and rushed towards Elder Zhou's direction.

The two men chased after him relentlessly.

Soon.

Then two Dharma boats came speeding towards them.

"Who goes there, daring to ruin my good time!"

"roll!"

Xu Mingshu snorted coldly, raised the Black Fiend Flag, and the Black Fiend Dragon condensed again, passing Ye Xuehua and rushing towards the two of them.

"A top-tier magic weapon?!"

Both of them were slightly startled, but they erupted at the same time.

One person unleashed a deadly blade of light several feet long, while the other unleashed hundreds or even thousands of cyan wind blades.

A flash of blades, and a gust of wind descended.

The Black Fiend Dragon was directly shattered.

However, Xu Mingshu raised her hand again, and the surrounding black evil energy once again condensed into a black evil dragon.

As long as Xu Mingshu's magical power is not exhausted, the Black Fiend Dragon can be infinitely condensed.

The two men glanced at the group, then without a word, sped off to either side, making no attempt to linger.

"Thank you all," Ye Xuehua said, clasping her hands in thanks.

"Those two must be extraordinary to have injured you like this." Xu Mingshu smiled faintly. "No wonder they were able to shatter the Black Fiend Dragon with a single blow."

Then, Ye Xuehua looked at Elder Zhou and asked, "Elder Zongyun, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Zongyun waved his hand and said, "On the way to find you, we were besieged. If it weren't for the appearance of the Xu family members, I would probably have died in the mouth of the monsters."

Xu Mingxuan said, "All the forces are converging. Let's go find Ming Qing first. He seems to be several dozen miles to the east."

In the forest, the Dharma Boat flew much slower.

When they reached a place with dense trees, Xu Mingxuan and his group simply switched to flying on their swords.

"There's a battle ahead."

The group rushed over and saw a gray wolf demon, three or four zhang tall, attacking its surroundings in a frenzy, as if searching for something.

Xu Mingshu's lips twitched slightly as she translated, "He's looking for a petty thief who stole his treasure. Obviously, it must be Xiao Liuzi."

"Fourth Sister, who are you calling a little thief?"

Xu Mingqing's sudden appearance surprised everyone.

I didn't even notice him when we were so close.

This is the effect of the "Taiyi Qingling" destiny talent, which allows one's aura to completely blend with the surrounding nature.

Fighting in the forest was extremely advantageous for Xu Mingqing.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to obtain two Jade Marrow Fungus from the gray wolf demon.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up and join forces to kill it."

Xu Mingxuan turned to Zhou Zongyun and Ye Xuehua and said, "Gentlemen, please swear that you will not leak our information."

The two exchanged a glance and immediately swore an oath of faith.

Then, Xu Mingxuan said, "Ming Shu, let them out."

Xu Mingshu smiled slightly and gently patted the spirit beast pouch. Immediately, two streams of light shot out.

Both the eagle and the tiger exuded the aura of Foundation Establishment level demon beasts.

Although not as powerful as the gray wolf demon, it seemed to have a stronger aura.

"Ah Ying, Little White, go!"

At Xu Mingshu's command, Xu Ying and Xu Bai immediately rushed towards the gray wolf demon.

"Two Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts?"

"They are all Ming Shu's spirit beasts, and not long ago, under the tutelage of my Xu family, they reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

As they spoke, they approached the battlefield.

The gray wolf demon is a Foundation Establishment Level 3 demon beast, while Xu Ying and Xu Bai are both at the late Foundation Establishment Level 1, but their bloodlines are stronger than the gray wolf demon's.

Xu Ying controlled the power of thunder and fire, but he was unable to severely injure the wolf demon in one blow.

But each bolt of lightning that struck scorched its fur and tore open wounds.

Xu Bai fought the wolf demon in close combat, but the wolf demon's claws were sharper and its movements were more agile.

Any one of them could easily fight, or even kill, a Foundation Establishment Level 2 demon beast.

The two joined forces.

Xu Ying used ranged attacks, while Xu Bai engaged in close combat; their teamwork was perfect.

It's only a matter of time before we defeat the wolf demon.

At this moment, Xu Mingxian flicked his sleeve, and a four-colored jade plate flew out and hovered in the air.

He then made a series of hand seals.

The four-colored light shone brightly, and a large amount of spiritual energy surged in, condensing into the four illusory images of the Four Symbols, which also launched a siege against the wolf demon.

Xu Mingxuan was also there. The Five Spirit Box appeared beside him, and with a gentle tap, it opened in a fan shape.

Suddenly, five flying swords shot out.

"Five Elements Sword Formation!"

The five-colored light was dazzling, and the five flying swords transformed into a giant five-colored sword more than ten feet long, which stabbed fiercely at the wolf demon.

He was entangled by the four illusory images and had no way to dodge.

His abdomen was immediately pierced.

Screamed.

next moment.

Xu Bai's claws emitted a golden light, as if covered with several feet of claw armor, and directly severed the wolf demon's head.

A Foundation Establishment Level 3 demonic beast perished just like that.

Zhou Zongyun and Ye Xuehua exchanged glances; no wonder they had sworn not to leak the information.

With such a trump card, one could practically dominate any secret realm.

Xu Mingxuan put away the wolf demon.

Xu Mingqing walked over and handed over the two jade marrow mushrooms.

Xu Mingxuan will be in charge of this trip to the secret realm, and all items will be handed over to him first.

As for how the spoils will be distributed when they leave, that depends on the harvest.

"Now that we've gathered, let's proceed as planned and find a place to cultivate in seclusion." Xu Mingxuan looked at Zhou Zongyun and the others, and asked, "What are your plans?"

"You want to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?" Ye Xuehua thought for a moment and then understood what Xu Mingxuan meant by secluded cultivation.

"Yes."

"I also plan to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage first," Ye Xuehua said. "Then let's do it together."

At this moment, Xu Mingqing said, "Several miles to the west is the wolf demon's lair, where there is a huge cave where several secluded meditation rooms can be carved out."

"Just go there."

The group followed Xu Mingqing.

A light mist rose from the road.

This fog can affect consciousness, and has an even greater impact on spiritual thought.

Therefore, trying to find spiritual herbs in the Misty Forest using one's divine sense is practically a pipe dream.

We arrived at the cave.

The group spent considerable effort carving out four quiet rooms.

There are four people who want to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage: Xu Mingxuan, Xu Mingshu, Xu Mingxian, and Ye Xuehua.

Xu Mingxian set up a concealment array and a second-tier low-grade array at the cave entrance, and also set up a first-tier array in the four quiet rooms to isolate them from interference. Afterwards, the four of them entered the quiet rooms to cultivate in seclusion.

The other four meditated and practiced in the cave.

Zhou Zongyun was secretly surprised; he really hadn't expected Xu Mingxian to be a master of formations.

"The Xu family's foundation is truly unfathomable!"

"This is hardly the foundation of a third-grade family; it's almost as good as a second-grade family."

He knew that Ye Xuehua had the aptitude of an earth spirit root, and that this attempt would surely lead to a breakthrough.

He glanced again at the secluded meditation room of the three Xu family members and wondered, "How many of them can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

No, why would I think that?

Their aptitude is at most ordinary true spiritual root; if they truly possessed exceptional talent, they should have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

But recalling what had happened before, Zhou Zongyun was no longer sure.

The Xu family had been planning this for a long time, and they deliberately sent them to attempt the Foundation Establishment stage in the "Wuhua Secret Realm". Why would they do something they were not sure of?
Xu Mingqing and the others began to consume pills and cultivate.

With the help of the high concentration of spiritual energy in the "Wuhua Secret Realm", they are confident that they can reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage within a month.

At that time, one can take the Divine Advancement Pill and develop divine consciousness.

at the same time.

Those who planned to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the secret realm also sought out places to cultivate in seclusion after finding their family companions.

Among these people, some are simply trying their luck, while others have a very high chance of success.

Time flies.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Wolf Demon Cave.

Ye Xuehua was the first to emerge from seclusion. She not only broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but also converted all her magical power into Foundation Establishment magical power.

Xu Mingxuan emerged from seclusion a few days later.

Next up is Xu Mingshu.

Finally, there's Xu Mingxian.

Because he burned through his lifespan of sixty years ago, he almost failed this breakthrough.

In addition, Xu Mingqing, Xu Deheng and Xu Deyue also broke through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage one after another, and their divine sense transformed into divine consciousness.

You can now control exquisite magical artifacts with even greater freedom.

Their strength has increased significantly.

Xu Mingshu possesses the top-tier magic artifact, the Black Fiend Banner.

The Four Symbols Array Artifact in Xu Mingxian's hands was essentially a top-tier magic weapon that combined offense and defense. Once he possessed Foundation Establishment magic power, the array artifact could unleash its full power.

Xu Mingxuan, who specializes in the Five Elements Spiritual Technique, possesses even more profound and refined magical power, further enhanced by his exclusive techniques and the Five Elements Sword Formation.

It is more powerful than the Five Elements Box used by Ren Xiaoyao, who is at the same level.

Their group of four Foundation Establishment cultivators and two Foundation Establishment demonic beasts were probably the most powerful of all the allied forces.

"A month and a half has passed, and it's time to focus on collecting Foundation Establishment Pill materials."

Xu Mingxuan looked at Ye Xuehua and asked, "Fairy Xuehua, do you want to come with us, or act alone?"

Ye Xuehua thought for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zongyun and said, "Could Elder Zongyun accompany you?"

If I were alone and encountered a horde of demonic beasts, a mid-Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast, or a demonic cultivation force, even if I couldn't defeat them, I could still escape on my own.

As she spoke, she took out the purple monkey flower she had obtained earlier, saying, "This is the reward I paid."

"Purple monkey flower?"

"Yes."

"With this Purple Monkey Flower and the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, we have all the main ingredients for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Xu Mingxuan stroked his chin, pondering to himself: "According to what my father said, the Great Wei only obtained thirteen or fourteen complete Foundation Establishment Pill materials in the first two times."

I wonder how much my Xu family will gain this time?

The usual methods are ineffective in smuggling materials out; the storage bags will be inspected.

But the Xu family was well prepared this time.

Previously, when the White Tiger broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it could temporarily swallow the storage bag and then put it into the spirit beast bag. As long as it did not exceed three days, the storage bag would be safe and sound.

This matter was tested by Xu Chuan.

As for why Xu Ying couldn't do it, it can only be said that different monsters have their own unique abilities.

The White Tiger breakthrough granted him the ability to temporarily store items within his body.

If one can break through to the Golden Core stage, one might even gain access to a small internal space.

"Okay, we agree to this."

Ye Xuehua clasped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you."

"Xuehua, be careful."

Zhou Zongyun knew he was weak and that staying by her side would only be a waste of his strength.

However, if they stayed with the Xu family, the spiritual herbs and other items they obtained would be difficult to distribute.

The Xu family has three Foundation Establishment cultivators and two Foundation Establishment demon beasts. Even if the distribution is based on the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would still take four shares for Ye Xuehua to get one share.

This is truly unfair to Ye Xuehua.

But if they split it equally, the Xu family would be at a huge disadvantage.

Separation is the most appropriate option.

Ye Xuehua nodded slightly to him, "Elder Zongyun, I will."

After saying this, Ye Xuehua left the cave with her sword.

"That's... the Green Wood Sword?" Xu Mingxian was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Zongyun said, "That's right. The ancestor handed his sword to Xuehua a long time ago, hoping that it would be helpful to him after she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage in the secret realm."

"I owe a great deal to everyone this time, otherwise Xuehua would not have been able to break through so smoothly."

Zhou Zongyun bowed to Xu Mingxuan and the others in thanks.

Xu Mingqing smiled and said, "Xuehua will be a member of the Xu family sooner or later, so it's only right that we do this little thing."

Xu Mingxuan then began assigning exploration tasks.

It expands outwards from the cave as its center.

Xu Mingshu was alone to the north, Xu Mingxuan, Xu Deheng and Xu Mingqing were to the west, and Xu Mingxian, Xu Deyue and Zhou Zongyun were to the south.

First comes the impact of foundation building.

Next, they were divided into groups to search for spiritual herbs.

Finally, they killed him to steal the treasure.

Over the course of a few days, all three groups made progress.

Besides the spiritual herbs, there were also quite a few Qi Refining stage demonic beasts and one or two Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts, as well as several rare refining materials.

These Foundation Establishment level demonic beasts were basically hunted down by Xu Mingshu's side.

After all, she alone possessed three Foundation Establishment combat strengths and controlled a large number of spirit insects to scout the surroundings, making her efficiency comparable to the combined efficiency of the other two groups.

gradually.

Some of those who successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage have also begun to travel outside.

As for those who failed, they quickly searched for spiritual herbs to increase their points.

Battles are taking place throughout the secret realm.

People kept dying in the Great Wei, Great Liang, and Great Jin.

"No, I won't die!"

A middle-aged cultivator was fleeing in panic through the misty forest, closely followed by three demonic cultivators.

They teased him like shepherds.

"My Feng family has finally obtained the opportunity to enter the 'Wuhua Secret Realm.' I will rise again, I will become a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, and reclaim the clan's territory in Guangling County!"

It seems they've had enough of teasing.

A demonic cultivator transformed into a streak of blood-red light, instantly surpassing the Feng family cultivator and blocking his path.

The two people behind him followed closely behind when he stopped.

Feng Zhongzhong looked ahead and then behind, his forehead beaded with sweat, and his back was soaked through.

He knelt down with a thud, kowtowing and begging for mercy, saying, "Please spare my life, and I'm willing to be your bait to lure the cultivators from the Great Wei."

The man in the blood-red robe in front stroked his chin and sneered, "Interesting."

"Then open your mind and let me plant a blood curse, so that no matter where you run, you will not escape my grasp."

"I do!"

The man in the blood-red robe formed a hand seal, and a mysterious blood-red pattern condensed in the air.

The blood-red pattern slowly approached the middle-aged man's brow.

Once applied, the pattern suddenly begins to writhe as if it were alive, eventually disappearing beneath the skin's surface.

The Feng family cultivator convulsed and screamed in agony.

A moment later, the blood-red lines between his eyebrows disappeared.

But he could clearly sense a foreign object somewhere in his head, and whenever it moved, it would cause him excruciating pain.

"Go and lead them here."

“Yes,” the middle-aged man from the Feng family replied.

Half a day later.

In the middle age of Feng Jiazhong, he encountered Xu Mingxian and two others.

He immediately recognized the other party as a member of the Xu family, and his anger surged suddenly.

The Feng family's current predicament is all because of the Xu family, and my own life and death are now controlled by demonic cultivators, also because of the Xu family.

The culprit behind everything is the Xu family!
His heart was filled with hatred, but on the surface he pretended to be miserable and said, "Fellow Daoists, it is so good to meet you. I have discovered the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill."

In the hands of a group of demonic cultivators.

Are you interested?

Xu Mingxian sneered inwardly and asked, "Of course there are, but demonic cultivators are not easy to deal with."

"Don't worry, there are only three of them. With the three of you and me, we have a very good chance of winning."

The middle-aged man from the Feng family said, "If you kill the demonic cultivator, I will take one of your identity tokens, and the rest will belong to the three of you. How about that?"

"Fellow Daoist is truly generous. We will go and take a look. We would be grateful if you could lead the way."

"As it should be."

to the place.

Feng Zhongzhong suddenly launched a sneak attack on Xu Deyue.

But a white light shone from her body, deflecting the attack.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing?" Xu Mingxian said angrily.

"What do we want? We'll send your Xu family on their way. Gentlemen, please show yourselves!"

Swish swish swish~
Three figures suddenly darted out, forming a triangle that surrounded Xu Mingxian and his two companions.

In their eyes, Xu Mingxian was only at the peak of Qi Refining.

"You, surnamed Feng, did a good job. You are indeed a useful dog, so I will spare your life for now." The man in the blood-red robe smiled broadly.

"Thank you, sir." The middle-aged man from the Feng family smiled and clasped his hands in thanks.

"Cousin, this fairy is as cold as ice. Cultivating with her must be wonderful. How about I have her?"

"Once we take them down, you can enjoy them as you see fit, cousin."

"My cousin is very generous."

Xu Mingxian calmly took out a four-colored jade plate from his sleeve and said indifferently, "So it's the Feng family. My Xu family didn't bother you, but you came to us on your own."

However, it can also be considered a great gift to the Xu family.

The four-colored jade plate rose into the sky.

Suddenly, four colors of light shone brightly, forming a four-colored light curtain that enveloped everyone.

"A second-tier array plate?!" The blood-robed man's expression suddenly changed.

But the array's light barrier closed in an instant, and they could no longer escape.

"Looks like a tough opponent, but if we kill you, we can naturally get out of this formation!"

Xu Mingxian smiled slightly, grabbed Zhou Zongyun and Xu Deyue, and retreated rapidly.

"Want to leave!"

The man in the blood-red robe raised his hand and conjured a giant blood-red claw, which was about to grab Xu Mingxian and the other two.

But a flash of blue light appeared on the screen, and a phantom of a blue dragon rushed out, instantly smashing the blood-red giant claw.

next moment.

The three of them crashed into the array's light barrier and were forced to retreat outside the array.

Xu Mingxian stared coldly at the man in the blood-red robe and said, "Those who cultivate the Blood Demon Path deserve to die!"

The words fell.

The four illusory figures appeared simultaneously, each possessing the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator under his magical blessing.

In just over ten moves, the three demonic cultivators were severely injured.

"That's impossible. Even if it's a second-tier array plate, with your Qi Refining stage strength, you simply can't unleash its full power. Could it be that you..."

Xu Mingxian naturally didn't bother to answer, focusing all her efforts on controlling the four illusory images to strangle them.

The other two demonic cultivators died after only seven or eight breaths, while the man in the blood-red robe, protected by a high-quality defensive magic artifact, held on for several dozen breaths.

The final defensive light barrier shattered, and his body was pierced through, killing him.

Feng Zhongzhong stared at this scene in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Xu Mingxian's face.

"You're not a Qi Refining cultivator, you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"Your Xu family has already produced three Foundation Establishment cultivators, why is Heaven so kind to your Xu family!"

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

Xu Mingxian chuckled, "Who told you that my Xu family only has three or four Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhongzhong's eyes widened, and the next moment his head was crushed by the Vermilion Bird's claw.

Four people died.

Xu Mingxian collected their souls and essence, then took their identity tokens, storage bags, and magical artifacts, before destroying the evidence.

Zhou Zongyun watched the process unfold smoothly.

He thought to himself: This is something my Zhou family should learn from!
"There really are materials for Foundation Establishment Pills."

Xu Mingxian checked their storage bags and found a Heavenly Spirit Fruit, along with several other spiritual herbs, cultivation techniques, materials, and pills in the blood-robed man's storage bag.

"let's go!"

The three returned to their original location and expanded southward once again.

Upon encountering the territory of a late-stage Foundation Establishment monster, they immediately withdrew and began to explore horizontally.

Xu Mingqing was highly skilled and daring. Relying on his ability to blend into his surroundings, he stole seven or eight rare spiritual herbs from the territory of monsters in the mid-to-late Foundation Establishment stage.

Among them was the Tianxiang flower that Xu Chuan needed.

This caused quite a riot.

He simply shifted the blame eastward.

Then profit from the chaos.

However, this means that we can no longer continue on the west side.

Xu Mingxuan then joined Xu Mingxian.

The Misty Forest is vast, and with the interference of divine sense, they have only been able to explore less than one percent of it in half a month.

However, the gains were considerable.

Xu Mingshu, equally skilled and daring, ventured into the territory of a mid-Foundation Establishment stage demon beast and discovered three Purple Monkey Flowers.

Besides the Foundation Establishment demon beast, there were two other demon beasts at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

She immediately went to find Xu Mingxuan and the others.

With their three Foundation Establishment cultivators, plus the two Foundation Establishment demonic beasts Xu Ying and Xu Bai, they lured the enemy out of their lair, and then Xu Mingqing went in to pick the Purple Monkey Flower.

Then they fled.

There was no other way; that mid-Foundation Establishment demon beast had reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

They can only resort to luring the tiger away from the mountain and flying a kite.

Materials for Foundation Establishment Beasts are optional; materials for Foundation Establishment Pills are what are most useful to the Xu family.

As long as you can bring out a few Foundation Establishment Pill materials from the secret realm.

The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Xu family will definitely surge in the next few years.

Xu Chuan could even use this to research similar pill formulas, freeing the Xu family from their dependence on Foundation Establishment Pills.

Even if the new pill formula is not as effective as the Foundation Building Pill, one pill is not enough. Taking several similar high-grade pills can achieve the same effect.

For the next two weeks, they repeated the same method.

In the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment, several more Jade Marrow Fungus and Heavenly Spirit Fruits were found in the territory of the demon beasts.
