Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

"Uncle Chen, pack up. Keep the surviving prisoners; have them deliver a message to Blackwater City later."

Scarface nodded, waved his hand, and his collateral relatives surged forward to begin cleaning up the battlefield.

Gray Wolf was lifted up by two collateral relatives, his two legs dragging on the ground like a dead dog.

He had only one thought in his mind—

What is the "mid-stage Foundation Building" that the young man mentioned?

In their world, a 3S-level character is considered to be in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment?

What level are they themselves?

He looked at the man called Scar Wolf. The way the young man had spoken to him earlier was clearly that of a junior addressing a senior.

The man didn't make a move.

What level is he?

The gray wolf dared not even think about it.

That night, in Blackwater City.

Black Hand sat in the boss's chair, listening to the soldiers who had escaped and were now crying.

"...Those rats! Those insects! It's not a superpower! They burrow! They bite! We can't stop them at all!"

"Where are the tanks?"

"The tanks are all upside down! The planes have crashed too!"

Black Hand's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Where's that guy called Gray Wolf?"

"He's been arrested. The young man said... he said you should send someone to pick him up."

He also said his name was Li Xuanfeng, from the Li family, and that these towns in the south would be under their jurisdiction from now on.

The mastermind remained silent for a long time.

Then he laughed.

"The Li family? What kind of bullshit Li family is this?"

He slammed his hand on the table in front of him—the solid wood table shattered with a crash.

"Send the order to gather all the men. I want to go see for myself who these people are!"

His men hurriedly ran out.

Black Hand stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the southern night sky.

He is an SS-level superhuman.

In this land, apart from those old guys in the north, he is the strongest.

A few scoundrels who appeared out of nowhere dare to mess with him?

"I'd like to see just how strong you really are."

Greystone Town, Council Hall.

Li Xuanfeng sat in the main seat, with a communication jade slip in front of him.

From the other end of the jade slip, Li Xiaoyao's lazy voice came: "Another battle?"

"Minor skirmishes."

Li Xuanfeng said, "Blackwater City sent a B-level agent to test us, and Aunt Liu and Han Mo were dealt with."

Those guys still don't understand what kind of people we are.

"normal."

Li Xiaoyao said, "They've never seen a real cultivation system. They're trying to apply their lousy ability ranking system to us, so of course it won't work."

You were right to have Aunt Liu and Han Mo take action—their attack methods may not seem 'powerful,' but they're the most terrifying."

"Second Grandfather, what's next? That SS-rank official from Blackwater City will definitely come in person."

"SS-rank is the early stage of Foundation Establishment," Li Xiaoyao said. "Scar Wolf can handle it all by himself."

But you need to think carefully—do you want to kill it outright, or keep it alive for a chance to be useful?

Xuanfeng thought for a moment: "It'll be useful to keep them. If we kill them, those 3S-level guys in the north will be nervous."

Keeping it can serve as a buffer.

"Alright, you can handle it yourself. Just remember, don't lower the prestige of the Foundation Establishment stage."

You, Scar Wolf, Aunt Liu, and Han Mo are all in the Foundation Establishment stage, but your attack methods should be quite different.

Sword cultivators have their domineering nature, beast tamers have their unpredictable skills, and your archery—one arrow you release will be unforgettable for those natives for decades.

"clear."

The jade slip went dark.

Li Xuanfeng looked out the window.

Under the moonlight, on the streets of Graystone Town, the locals were still discussing the battle that had taken place during the day.

They don't understand what Qi cultivation and foundation building are.

All they knew was that those seemingly invincible tanks and planes were easily dealt with by a few ordinary-looking people.

All they knew was that those soldiers who usually swaggered around, when they were arrested and paraded through the streets, would tremble and beg for mercy just like ordinary people.

All they knew was that those "big shots" were not invincible.

Xuanfeng suddenly remembered something his second grandfather had said:

"Cultivation is not just about cultivating strength, but also about broadening one's perspective."

Ants are unaware of the heavens because they spend their entire lives crawling on the ground.

If you want them to know how high the sky is, you have to make them look up first.

He smiled.

That SS-rank enemy from Blackwater City will be here soon.

Then, this land will truly be able to raise its head once again.

……

The mastermind is dead.

They died very quickly.

He led eight hundred men, twenty tanks, and five aircraft, marching in a grand procession towards Graystone Town.

They encountered Scarface Wolf on the way.

Just one person.

Scarface stood in the middle of the road, his knife still sheathed.

The mastermind laughed immediately: "Is the Li family out of options? Sending someone to their death?"

Scarface didn't speak, he just looked at him.

The black hand, growing impatient, waved his hand and said, "Crush it."

The three tanks at the front fired simultaneously. The shells exploded three feet in front of Scar Wolf, and when the smoke cleared, Scar Wolf stood still, motionless.

The black hand's smile froze.

Scarface finally spoke: "So you're Black Hand?"

The black hand nodded subconsciously.

Then he saw the glint of a knife.

It was just a flash.

Eight hundred men, twenty tanks, five planes—nothing was left.

The last sound Blackhand heard was the soft thud of Scar Wolf sheathing his sword.

"My name is Chen Xiaofeng. Remember that."

……

The news caused a stir in the surrounding area.

Within three days, three of the five town mayors in the south fled, and two surrendered.

Blackwater City was leaderless, and several minor leaders were fighting amongst themselves. Before the battle could end, Li Xuanfeng had already led his men into the city.

There was no war.

The people themselves opened the city gates.

Scarface's stab was more effective than any propaganda.

After entering the city, the first thing Li Xuanfeng did was to open the granary.

The second thing was to arrest the ringleaders of the infighting and behead them in public.

The third thing was to announce that Blackwater City would be renamed "South Wind City" and placed under the jurisdiction of the Li family.

The common people looked at each other, wondering who the "Li family" was.

But once the granary was opened and the leader was killed, they thought—who cares what his background is, as long as they can eat their fill, that's enough.

On the fifth day, news arrived from the north.

Three 3S-level superhumans simultaneously sent messengers with messages.

The letter contained similar content: Congratulations to the Li family for establishing a firm foothold in the south. In the north, let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other.

Li Xuanfeng handed the letter to Scarface: "What do you think?"

Scarface glanced at it: "Testing the waters."

"right."

Li Xuanfeng nodded, "They don't know our background, so let's keep us calm for now, and then we'll investigate slowly later."

"What should we do?"

Li Xuanfeng thought for a moment and said, "My second grandfather said that at times like this, we can't back down, nor can we rush things."

He picked up his pen and wrote three replies.

The content is similar: the Li family is new to the area and just wants to find a place to settle down, and they don't want to get involved in the affairs of the north.

But if anyone wants to test how fast the Li family's knives are—we're always ready.

After sending the letter, he picked up a jade slip for communication.

"Second Grandfather, what's the next step?"

From the other end of the jade slip, Li Xiaoyao's lazy voice came: "Three 3S-level individuals, what's their background?"

"The one to the east is called 'Thunder King,' and he is said to have lightning powers and the strongest attack."

The one to the west is called the "Ice Queen," she has ice-type superpowers, and her territory is the largest.

The one to the north, called "Doctor," is the most mysterious. It's said he's lived from the old days and may possess a technological legacy.

"PhD?"

Li Xiaoyao paused, "To have lived from the old era to now... that's at least several hundred years old. Interesting."

"Second Grandfather, should we do something to him?"

"No rush," Li Xiaoyao said. "You guys first stabilize the south and consolidate your territory."

Let those 3S-level guys guess what's going on. We'll deal with them when they finally make their move.

"clear."

The jade slip went dark.

Li Xuanfeng stood up and walked to the window.

On the streets of Nanfeng City, the people are distributing grain.

Some people were laughing, some were crying, and some were kneeling on the ground kowtowing.

He suddenly remembered something his second grandfather had said:

"Spiritual practice is about cultivating the mind. When the mind is stable, the path is stable."

He turned around and looked at Scarface.

"Uncle Chen, could you please make a trip to the east? No need to lift a finger, just let that Thunder King know that there's a sword cultivator in the south named Chen Xiaofeng."

Scar Wolf nodded, took a step, and disappeared into the horizon.

Xuanfeng then looked at Liu Gu and Han Mo.

"Aunt Liu, your rat, go take a stroll to the west. Han Mo, your insect, go take a look to the north. No fighting, just taking a look."

The two nodded and turned to leave.
