Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

Three days.

Scar Wolf has returned from the east.

Aunt Liu has returned from the west.

Han Mo has returned from the north.

The three men brought back roughly the same message—the three 3S-level individuals were all observing the situation.

Thunder King wanted to fight, but his subordinates stopped him. Ice Queen held back, wanting to see who would make the first move.

The PhD is the most stable, staying in his lair without making a sound.

After listening, Li Xuanfeng nodded.

Then he picked up the communication jade slip.

"Second Grandfather, I want to take action."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the jade slip, then Li Xiaoyao's voice came through: "Have you thought it through?"

"I've made up my mind."

Tell me about it.

Li Xuanfeng took a deep breath: "We're here to conquer, not to be guests."

Those three 3S-level companies are all waiting now—waiting for us to reveal our weaknesses, waiting for others to make the first move, waiting for us to make mistakes ourselves.

But we don't need them to wait. We just need to let them know one thing.

"What is it?"

"Those who obey me will prosper, those who defy me will perish."

A soft laugh came from the other end of the jade slip.

"That's more like the Li family."

"Tell me, which one should we move first?"

"Doctor," Li Xuanfeng said, "He is the most mysterious and the oldest."

"Kill him, and the remaining two will know what to choose."

"reason?"

"He has technological legacies from the old era. If he realizes this and distributes those things to the other two, we'll be in trouble later."

"Take him out first, and while you're at it, see if there's anything useful in his inheritance."

Li Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright. I approve it. Remember, if you're going to fight, fight to the death. Don't leave any future trouble."

"clear."

The jade slip went dark.

Xuanfeng stood up and looked at the people in the room—Scar Wolf, Aunt Liu, Han Mo, Li Xuanxuan, Li Xuanzhu, and Li Xuanling.

"Get ready, we're leaving tonight."

"Where to?" Lee Hyun-joo's eyes lit up.

"North. The Doctor's lair."

……

The doctor's lair is deep in the ruins of an abandoned city in the north.

It's called a city, but it's unrecognizable from what it used to be.

Collapsed high-rises, rusted vehicles, and rampant mutated plants have turned this place into a maze.

Deep within the ruins lies a relatively intact complex of buildings, surrounded by barbed wire, but brightly lit inside.

Behind the barbed wire stood soldiers armed with live ammunition.

These were not the same rabble as before—these soldiers wore uniform gray-black uniforms, their weapons were well-maintained, and their posture was standard.

"That's interesting."

Scarface watched from afar, thinking, "This old man has really trained an army."

Li Xuanfeng nodded, then spread his divine sense across the cluster of buildings.

There's something underground.

A large space, a complex structure, and... many machines in operation.

"There's an underground base," he said. "It must be something left over from the old era."

"How do we fight?" Aunt Liu asked.

Li Xuanfeng thought for a moment: "Fight head-on."

"A direct confrontation?"

"Yes." Xuanfeng looked at Scar Wolf, "Uncle Scar Wolf, I'll hand it over to you."

Those soldiers, tanks, planes—dismantle them all. The bigger the commotion, the better.

Scarface grinned, his knife already drawn.

Xuanfeng then looked at Liu Gu and Han Mo: "You two go in from the side and take control of the entrance to the underground base."

Someone ran out and was caught. Someone tried to destroy things and was stopped.

The two nodded.

Li Xuanfeng finally looked at Xuanxuan and the other two: "Follow me and go around from the back."

"Once the fight breaks out on Scarface's side and the people inside start running out, we'll go in and find the Doctor directly."

"Just the four of us?" Li Xuanxuan asked.

"Yes," Xuanfeng said. "He is a 3S-level, which, according to our calculations, is the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment."

"I can handle this alone. I brought you all along to show you how Foundation Establishment cultivators actually fight."

night.

child time.

Scar Wolf walked in from the front.

The barbed wire tore like paper in front of him.

Before the soldiers could react, the blades were already flashing.

With one slash, a row of soldiers fell. With another slash, yet another row fell.

As the tank drove by, Scarface slashed with his sword, a flash of golden light appearing—the tank split in two. The people inside didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to scrap metal along with the metal lump.

As soon as the planes took off, Scarface raised his hand and waved it, sending a burst of energy soaring into the sky—both planes exploded into fireballs in mid-air.

A piercing alarm sounded from the ruins.

The soldiers began to flee.

The heavy iron gates at the entrance to the underground base swung open with a loud crash, and a large group of people poured out—

Researchers in white lab coats, guards with guns, and several powerful superhumans.

Aunt Liu's mice were already waiting at the door.

As soon as the group rushed out, they stepped into a swarm of rats.

Screams erupted, some people fell, some fired shots, but the bullets only stirred up more rats as they entered the swarm.

Hanmo's insects crawled in through the ventilation ducts, through the cracks in the floor, and through any place they could get into.

Inside the underground base, lights began to flicker, machines began to smoke, and screams rose and fell.

Behind the ruins, Li Xuanfeng led the three younger ones and sneaked into an abandoned subway entrance.

The passage was deep, ending at a heavy metal door. The door was ajar, and hurried footsteps could be heard from inside.

Xuanfeng kicked the door open.

Inside was a huge underground space—laboratories, warehouses, control rooms, and rows of machines still running.

Several people in white lab coats were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. In the corner, an old man in a worn-out researcher's uniform was staring at a screen in front of him.

On the screen, there was a battle scene outside the ruins.

Scar Wolf stood amidst a pile of scrap metal, his knife untouched by blood.

The old man slowly turned around.

He looked very old, with wrinkles on his face like a cracked riverbed, but his eyes were bright, brighter than someone who was hundreds of years old.

"The Li family?" he asked, his voice hoarse.

Li Xuanfeng nodded.

"You are not from this world," the doctor said, staring at him. "Where did you come from?"

"Outside."

The doctor was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Outside... there really is an outside," he murmured. "I knew it, this broken cage can't hold everything."

He pointed to the machines around him: "These are all remnants from the old era. You want them?"

Li Xuanfeng remained silent.

The doctor sighed, took out a palm-sized metal box from his pocket, and placed it on the table in front of him.

"This is the core control terminal of this base. All the data, all the technology, all the weapon blueprints are inside." He looked at Xuanfeng. "I can give them to you."

"condition?"

"Let me live," the doctor said. "I can work for you. Over the past few centuries, I've studied more than you can imagine."

Technology, supernatural abilities, and the path combining the two—you come from outside, so you should have a higher cultivation system, but you may not have technology.

Xuanfeng looked at him and suddenly smiled.

Do you know what I admire most about you?

The doctor was taken aback.

"You're quite clever," Li Xuanfeng said. "As soon as you realized you couldn't win, you immediately thought of a way out. You haven't lived in vain for your hundreds of years."

He walked over, picked up the metal box, and casually handed it to Li Xuanxuan behind him.

"Take it."

Then he looked at the doctor.

"But you're wrong about one thing."

The doctor's expression changed slightly.

Xuanfeng raised his hand, and a golden light shot out from his fingertips, striking the doctor's forehead.

The doctor's eyes widened, and his body slowly collapsed.

"I don't quite understand your superpower classification system."

Li Xuanfeng looked at the corpse on the ground and said calmly, "But we have a saying over there—'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.' You are too clever; you cannot be allowed to live."

He turned and walked outside.

"Li Xuanxuan, move all the data and everything usable from the base. Blow up anything you can't move."

Li Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment: "It exploded?"

"That's right." Xuanfeng didn't even turn his head. "We're here to conquer, not to scavenge."

Take what's useful, destroy what's useless. This area will henceforth belong to the Li family.

Keeping these things is troublesome if someone finds them someday.

Li Xuanxuan nodded and began to instruct his men to get to work.

Li Xuanling and Li Xuanzhu followed, walking on either side of Li Xuanfeng.

Xuanzhu asked softly, "Brother, that doctor just now said he could work for us... why didn't we keep him?"

Li Xuanfeng glanced at her.

"Remember this, these 3S-level ones are not our own people, keeping them around is a hidden danger."

He might back down today, but he'll stab you in the back tomorrow. It's better to eliminate him completely than to nurture a tiger that will eventually threaten you.

Li Xuanzhu nodded thoughtfully.

Li Xuanling remained silent, but the light in her eyes shone even brighter.
