Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 315 A Fallen Family
From the moment the four men began to suppress Li Yunjing with their formation, it only took a hundred or so breaths before Li Yunjing launched a counterattack, leaving the four men in a sorry state.

At this point, the middle-aged Taoist, the scholar in white, and the woman in blue could no longer attack Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing weaved between the three, his "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" knocking away the middle-aged Taoist's replacement spiritual weapon. After the pair of mother and child swords and shields, Li Yunjing flashed and headed towards the gray-robed old man again!

"Brother, be careful!"

As the three shouted, they unleashed a series of magical attacks on Li Yunjing almost instantly.

However, in that instant, Li Yunjing's figure split into nine, spreading out and making it difficult for anyone to pinpoint his true form.

The next moment, three of Li Yunjing's nine illusory bodies were destroyed.

The remaining illusory forms merged into one, forming Li Yunjing's true form.

At this moment, Li Yunjing had broken through the blockade of the three and arrived in front of the gray-robed old man.

The "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" in his hand pierced straight out, passing through a protective shield and solidly slashing through the gray-robed old man's chest.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the man moved to the side, avoiding his internal organs and escaping a fatal blow.

The blow pierced the gray-robed old man's chest. Li Yunjing twirled the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" in his hand, and with a scream from the gray-robed old man, it destroyed many organs in his body.

The gray-robed old man staggered backward, trying to pull his body out of the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword".

However, Li Yunjing gave the gray-robed old man no chance at all. His figure followed him like a shadow, and the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" never left the gray-robed old man's body. It was inside his body, constantly churning.

The intense pain inside his body almost made it difficult for the gray-robed elder to gather his magical power, nearly extinguishing all the protective aura around his body.

"Boom!"

During the assassination attempt by the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword," Li Yunjing continued to strike, unleashing a "Palm Thunder" with his left palm towards the gray-robed elder's head.

With a "bang," the gray-robed elder's ability to move was controlled by the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword." He watched helplessly as the "Palm Thunder" struck his head. The next moment, the gray-robed elder felt his vision go black and completely lost consciousness.

When the middle-aged Taoist, the scholar in white, and the woman in blue looked over, they saw that the eldest brother's head had exploded, with red and white fragments flying everywhere; he was dead beyond any doubt.

"Damn it! Avenge my brother!"

"kill him!"

"Attack with all your strength!"

The middle-aged Taoist, the scholar in white, and the woman in blue roared and attacked Li Yunjing again and again.

"Hahaha! Before, when I told you to leave, you still wanted to fight me! Now how are you? Someone died? Grief-stricken?"

Seeing the three men's angry expressions, Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly. He had given them a chance, but since they insisted on being his enemies, they could only die.

With the Four Symbols Formation broken, the middle-aged Taoist, the white-robed scholar, and the blue-clad woman no longer possessed their previous strength. Even if the three of them temporarily set up the Three Talents Formation, they were no longer able to do anything to Li Yunjing.

Having dodged the middle-aged Taoist priest and the woman in blue, Li Yunjing unleashed another "Palm Thunder" at the scholar in white.

The moment the "Palm Thunder" was unleashed, Li Yunjing leaped out and quickly rushed to the middle-aged Taoist's side, raising the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" in his hand and slashing it down at the middle-aged Taoist from above.

"You want to kill me? It's not that easy."

The middle-aged Taoist sneered. Many talismans appeared in his hand. The talismans activated in front of him, turning into a thick layer of seven-colored light shield, completely separating him from Li Yunjing.

Seeing this, Li Yunjing remained expressionless. He had never imagined that he could kill this enemy with just one sword.

Li Yunjing's truly formidable skill was the "Earth Escape Technique." He landed on the ground and immediately disappeared, merging into the earth.

"Oh no! Earth Escape Technique!"

The middle-aged Taoist was not stupid. As soon as he saw that Li Yunjing had disappeared, he couldn't help but fly into the air.

The best way to deal with the elusive "Earth Escape Technique" is to take to the air and leave the ground. Once in mid-air, even if Li Yunjing comes out, he will not be able to launch a sneak attack on him.

"boom!"

Just as the middle-aged Taoist priest took to the air, Li Yunjing's figure burst out of the ground and chased after the middle-aged Taoist priest in mid-air.

The middle-aged Taoist reacted extremely quickly, arriving in mid-air at a height of a hundred feet in an instant. However, Li Yunjing's strength was too great; he arrived first despite being behind, and the distance between them was already less than ten feet.

A distance of ten zhang is enough to unleash the full power of one's supernatural abilities.

Almost instantly, the white-robed scholar and the blue-clad woman also rose from the ground and approached the middle-aged Taoist!

We absolutely cannot let Li Yunjing kill the middle-aged Taoist again!
Otherwise, the scholar in white and the woman in blue would also be in danger of destruction.

"cut!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Yunjing suddenly changed direction, a flash of lightning appeared between his brows, and with a "boom," the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" flew out and struck the white-robed scholar.

"boom!"

The white-robed scholar had almost no time to react before being struck by the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," and his body fell to the ground in mid-air.

As soon as the white-robed scholar was injured, Li Yunjing's figure flashed again, and he threw a "Palm Thunder" at the blue-robed woman beside him. This attack did not hurt the blue-robed woman, but it bought Li Yunjing a moment. His figure moved again, and the "Five Dragon Wheel" was suddenly released, slashing towards the middle-aged Taoist.

"Buzz!"

As soon as the "Five Dragon Wheel" flew out, it began to spin in mid-air, flashing with five-colored divine light. Almost instantly, five dragons emerged from the "Five Dragon Wheel" and surrounded the middle-aged Taoist.

"boom!"

Before the middle-aged Taoist could react, the five dragons merged into one, forming a cage that surrounded him inside the five-colored cage.

"what……"

The middle-aged Taoist priest let out a miserable cry and was completely reduced to ashes under the relentless attacks of flames, trees, water curtains, rocks, and sharp blades.

"Let's go! We can't fight this man! We're no match for him!"

Seeing that the middle-aged Taoist priest was dead, the injured scholar in white shouted and gestured for the woman in blue to escape with him.

The voice was filled with boundless fear, and the white-robed scholar was terrified by Li Yunjing.

Originally, the group of four white-robed scholars were top-notch figures among independent cultivators in the cultivation world, and they were not inferior even to the major sects.

Now, reality has dealt them a heavy blow!
Ultimately, no matter how powerful they are, even if they outnumber the weak or the strong defeat the weak, they have no way to deal with the true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

The woman in blue was equally terrified; when her elder brother died, her heart was filled with rage.

We must kill Li Yunjing to avenge our elder brother!

Now, even the second brother has been tortured to death by Li Yunjing.

This chilled the woman in blue to the bone, and her gaze toward Li Yunjing was filled with fear far outweighed any hatred.

Upon hearing her third brother's words, the woman in blue transformed into a streak of blue light and arrived beside the scholar in white. The two of them fled into the distance almost without hesitation.

"You're lucky!"

Watching the two figures disappear, Li Yunjing thought for a moment and decided not to pursue them.

Beneath the "Five Dragon Wheels," the middle-aged Taoist was reduced to ashes and nothing was left behind.

Li Yunjing was quite disappointed, but fortunately, the old man in gray had left him with a lot of resources.

There are as many as five or six "treasure bags".

Li Yunjing inspected the items and found quite a few first- and second-tier items, but none of the third-tier items.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Yunjing returned to Pinggang Town.

After searching repeatedly, Li Yunjing finally detected a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation in a secluded spot in the northwest corner of the town.

Li Yunjing surveyed his surroundings and saw a dilapidated courtyard house right in front of him.

Judging by their size, they could be considered an upper-middle-class family.

To my surprise, the courtyard was dilapidated, and many parts of it even looked abandoned due to years of neglect.

Inside the courtyard, Li Yunjing could clearly sense the fluctuations in the auras of the three people.

Two adults and one child, two girls and one boy.

Has this family fallen on hard times?

Looking at the half-closed gate, whose vermilion color had long since faded due to peeling paint, Li Yunjing couldn't help but shake his head.

The decline of a cultivation family?
I just don't know how many years this Li family has been established.

"Squeak!"

Li Yunjing stepped onto the stairs, arrived at the door, and gently pushed it open.

"Sigh! When will this ever end?!"

As soon as Li Yunjing entered the courtyard, he heard a woman sigh.

"Wife, I'll go out and find some work tomorrow! Life may be tough, but at least we won't starve to death."

A man's voice responded.

“But there are only three days left until the Wang family comes to collect their debt. If we can’t raise enough money, won’t we have to give up this ancestral home to settle the debt?” The woman’s voice rang out again.

……

After listening to the conversation, Li Yunjing figured out something. It seemed that the men of the Li family had borrowed a lot of money outside, and now the family was so poor that they couldn't even keep this dilapidated house.

Li Yunjing shook his head again, stood in the courtyard, and looked at the four rooms.

The house facing south was where the couple lived, while the other rooms were side rooms. Li Yunjing's divine sense swept over and he even sensed spiritual energy fluctuations in a room filled with miscellaneous items.

This energy was extremely weak, appearing and disappearing intermittently. If Li Yunjing hadn't been standing here, even he would have had difficulty locating the spiritual energy within it.

"Cough cough!"

Li Yunjing didn't make any rash moves. He coughed lightly to indicate that someone had entered the courtyard.

Sure enough, the people inside heard the noise, and a man in his twenties pushed open the door and came out.

"you are?"

The man was initially worried, thinking it was someone from the Wang family coming to collect a debt. But now that he saw Li Yunjing, who was a complete stranger, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, is your surname Li?"

Li Yunjing smiled and asked softly.

"Indeed! I am Li Chuanzong, and I greet this brother."

When he mentioned his name, Li Chuanzong's face turned slightly red.

Clearly, his name is somewhat undeserved.

In his generation, the Li family almost reached the brink of ruin.

He never had a son in his entire life.

As for having another one?
Li Chuanzong's dilapidated house is about to be lost, so how can he raise children?

Only Li Chuanzong himself knew the bitterness he had endured.

"Hmm! I've heard your ancestors were once wealthy, how did you end up in this state?"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly and asked curiously.

Alas! The past is too painful to recall!

Li Chuanzong shook his head. If he hadn't seen Li Yunjing, and for some reason felt a sense of closeness to him, and felt an urge to reveal his true feelings, he wouldn't have wanted to say anything more.

Who would willingly expose their weaknesses in front of a stranger?

"Heh! I heard you owe a lot of money and are going to use your house to pay it off?"

Li Yunjing didn't ask any more questions about the past, and he said with a smile.

"Are you from the Wang family?"

Li Chuanzong was shocked and couldn't help but take two steps back, looking at Li Yunjing with a hint of fear.

Clearly, the Wang family is not someone to be trifled with!

"No! My surname is also Li. We might have been family thousands of years ago!"

Li Yunjing smiled, then looked around the courtyard and said, "Your courtyard is quite nice! If it were renovated, it would be a good place to live. If I were to offer to buy it, I wonder if Brother Li would be willing?"

"This……"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Li Chuanzong showed a hint of shock.

He never expected that the Li brothers, who had just moved in, would want to buy his ancestral home!

This made it difficult for Li Chuanzong to refuse.

Selling the ancestral home is ultimately not a good thing, but the creditor will be coming to the door in three days, and he still doesn't have the money to repay. It's certain that the house can't be saved.

If this person is willing to pay a high price, Li Chuanzong would be very happy to sell the house to Li Yunjing.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Li Chuanzong couldn't help but ask a question.

"Of course! Do I look like someone who has nothing better to do? If I weren't sincerely looking to buy, why would I waste my time here with you?"

Li Yunjing smiled and said affirmatively.

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and discuss it with Madam?"

Li Chuanzong asked.

"can!"

Li Yunjing nodded and watched Li Chuanzong go inside. Then he wandered around the courtyard.

As for the conversation between Li Chuanzong and his wife, Li Yunjing heard it all clearly. Even if he didn't want to listen, he couldn't escape his ears.

The couple had discussed and agreed on the selling price, and there was no disagreement about selling their ancestral home.

A full quarter of an hour passed before Li Chuanzong finally came out of the house with his wife and a little girl of about four or five years old.

"So you've agreed?"

Li Yunjing raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Ah...ah? Yes!"

Li Yunjing's words left Li Chuanzong somewhat bewildered, not understanding why this person had so readily concluded that he absolutely had to sell the house to him.

"Very good! Here are ten gold ingots; this is my sincerity!"

Li Yunjing smiled and casually tossed ten gold ingots out of his sleeve, which landed in front of Li Chuanzong and his family of three!
Each of these gold ingots weighs ten taels!

A full one hundred taels of gold!
This gold is enough for Li Chuanzong's family to live a carefree life for the rest of their lives!
Upon seeing so much gold, Li Chuanzong and the other two were dumbfounded. They barely moved and didn't even hear what Li Yunjing said. They just stared blankly at the gold at their feet.

"hehe!"

Seeing the expressions on Li Chuanzong's face, Li Yunjing smiled slightly. He didn't disturb them and just watched the family of three.

Among mortals, gold is the greatest wealth. For gold, people kill and rob, and all sorts of things that violate the law and morality happen every moment.

However, in the eyes of cultivators, gold is the least valuable thing!
Sometimes, scrap copper and iron are even worth a little more than gold!

Li Yunjing naturally didn't have any gold on him. He was proficient in the "Law of Gold" and could easily conjure up ten ingots of gold in his hand by using his gold-based supernatural powers.

Now, looking at the worthless junk he casually conjured up, which was enough to drive anyone mad, Li Yunjing could only sigh softly.

"Okay! We'll sell it!"

After a long while, Li Chuanzong finally realized what was happening. He bent down, picked up the gold, and said loudly.

"very good!"

Li Yunjing nodded and said, "Take the gold and live a good life. You can pack your things now, and once you're done, you can leave here!"

"Alright! We don't have anything to take with us! Let's go!"

Li Chuanzong said excitedly.

Their house was dilapidated and full of old things. Now that they have gold, they are not short of money, so naturally they don't want those old things anymore.

"All right!"

Li Yunjing shook his head, watching Li Chuanzong and his family of three excitedly leave.

I wonder how many years this family can live on those ten ingots of gold?

However, these are not things that Li Yunjing is willing to concern himself with. His karma with the Li family is over, and even if Li Chuanzong and the others die in the future, it will have nothing to do with Li Yunjing.

Looking at the dilapidated courtyard, Li Yunjing used his magic to create a gust of wind that swept away the dust. With a wave of his hand, he created a curtain of water that washed over the four houses. Finally, he released four balls of flame to evaporate the water.

After cleaning the house, Li Yunjing released eight "puppet mechanical beasts" which entered each room and began searching for items.

The dilapidated furniture and clothes were all carried into the yard by the "puppet mechanical beast" and piled up to one side.

Once the inventory was nearly complete, Li Yunjing entered the room where he sensed spiritual energy.

After crossing the threshold, Li Yunjing glanced around. It was a house of over 100 square meters, divided into two rooms, an inner room and an outer room.

Currently, all the clutter has been removed, revealing the blue floor tiles.

Because Li Yunjing used his magic to clean the house, removing the dust and recreating the scene from years ago.

Li Yunjing then saw a faint layer of blue light emanating from the blue floor tiles, and wisps of spiritual energy emanating from them.
