Cultivation in a Family: Starting as a Reincarnation of a Core Formation Master

"Not necessarily? Fellow Daoist Li thinks that Fellow Daoist Qi and Fellow Daoist Mo can't defeat that Fire-Slaying Monkey."

He hadn't spoken to Lu Wenjie, but he insisted on interrupting.

Li Chengxuan was too lazy to pay attention, so he just smiled and remained silent.

"Hmph, fellow Daoist, you are ranked 134th on the list, so don't make unwarranted speculations about those of us ranked in the top 100."

Lu Wenjie snorted coldly.

"Lu Wenjie, please speak more politely. Chengxuan is my savior."

Huang Ziya said unhappily.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenjie's resentment intensified, and he angrily retorted, "Did I say anything wrong? What right does a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, ranked outside the top 100, have to point fingers at me?"

"What do you mean 'maybe'? He's just pretending to be profound. He doesn't even know what a genius is. I'm telling you, that Fire-Slaying Monkey will be taken down by Qi Qiao and Mo Feifei sooner or later!"

After saying that, he stared at Li Chengxuan with a determined look. You should know that he had been unhappy with Li Chengxuan even before he came to the secret realm. This displeasure reached its peak when Huang Ziya hugged him tightly just now, but he did not show it because he was concerned about his image.

Next, Huang Ziya repeatedly defended the other party, which almost made him lose his temper. If they were in a remote, desolate place, he wouldn't mind killing the other party directly.

Despite Lu Wenjie's angry glare, Li Chengxuan was unconcerned. This man's influence on him was not as great as the clucking of chickens when he was raising chicks in Lanni Bay.

"How about it, Fellow Daoist Li? Did I say anything wrong?" Lu Wenjie asked further, still feeling indignant.

No sooner had he finished speaking than two loud thuds were heard. Qi Qiao clutched his chest and flew backward, crashing heavily and creating a deep crater.

Lu Wenjie was stunned. Qi Qiao was playing so well, how could he suddenly lose? Was he being put on a show?

He chuckled dryly, then quickly added, "Fellow Daoist Qi was perhaps careless. Look at Fairy Mo; she's ranked forty-ninth, and her strength is even above Fellow Daoist Qi's."

As soon as these words were spoken, the monkey's tail, with its fiery tip, landed directly on Mo Feifei's delicate features.

*Thud!* Mo Feifei was suddenly jolted, flying more than ten feet away before crashing to the ground, unconscious.

"This..." Lu Wenjie was completely stunned. He was about to speak again when he was interrupted by a female cultivator in a green dress from the Huanhua Sword Sect next to him: "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth, shut up!"

Lu Wenjie felt frustrated and helpless, his face turning blue from the frustration.

"Hey, you were right after all."

Unlike the others who were still in shock at the Fire-Slaying Monkey's strength, Huang Ziya's eyes lit up as she excitedly spoke to Li Chengxuan.

"Most of the earth-grade bloodline demon beasts have ancient true spirit bloodlines, and they are not so easy to deal with."

Li Chengxuan nodded slightly. He had been observing the situation, trying to see if there were any other demonic beasts besides the Fire-Slaying Monkey. It seemed that there were none now.

Although the Fire Monkey is strong, it's not enough to stop him. It's time to make a move.

"Sigh, those were ten Vermilion Fruits! They could have sold for at least 30,000 spirit stones. What a pity."

Huang Ziya sighed heavily.

"Even Senior Sister Mo couldn't handle it, so we're even less capable. Let's go somewhere else. There are still remnants of the old herb garden deep in this valley. Perhaps we can find something there."

The green-skirted female cultivator who had previously stopped Lu Wenjie brought Mo Feifei back to the stone platform and whispered to her fellow disciples beside her.

On the other side, one of Qi Qiao's junior brothers helped Qi Qiao up and said, "Senior Brother Qi, let's hurry to the depths of the valley to find Senior Brother Gao and have him deal with this Fire-Slaying Monkey. We can't do it."

Lu Wenjie snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Zhang needs at least a cultivator ranked in the top twenty on the list to deal with this beast. Ziya, let's go. If we wait for the other Fire-Slaying Monkey to come back, we might not be able to leave."

Huang Ziya nodded slightly, then tugged at Li Chengxuan's sleeve and said, "Let's go."

To everyone's surprise, Li Chengxuan remained unmoved and said calmly, "I'd appreciate it if Miss Huang could cover for me. I'll give you a Vermilion Fruit in return."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengxuan transformed into a streak of light and flew straight away.

"What!" Huang Ziya's body trembled in disbelief. With the Fire-Slaying Monkey now fully displaying its strength, Li Chengxuan still dared to rush up.

"Li Chengxuan, you've gone mad. Very well, go ahead and die so I won't have to do anything about it."

Lu Wenjie was the second cultivator he spotted, and he was overjoyed.

"Hey, this guy's pretty good-looking, why is he going to his death!"

"The pretty female disciple of Huanhua Sword Sect exclaimed in surprise."

"That person's name seems to be Li Chengxuan, ranked 134th on the list, right?"

Qi Qiao held onto his junior brother and asked shakily.

"Yes, from a small Foundation Establishment family in Longnan County, at the ninth level of Qi Refining."

His junior brother nodded and laughed, "He's probably bewitched. Doesn't he realize that the Fire-Slaying Monkey could tear him apart with one hand?"

Qi Qiao's expression changed, but he remained silent. Reason told him that his junior brother was right; Li Chengxuan might have died after just one encounter with the Fire-Slaying Monkey. But intuitively, he felt that it wasn't that simple. This person had a calm demeanor and composed bearing, and didn't seem like someone who would easily give up his life.

Just as everyone on the stone platform was lost in their own thoughts, Li Chengxuan also arrived in the forest, only a few feet away from the Fire-Slaying Monkey. Judging from the monkey's expression, this distance was merely a blink of an eye.

"Hurry, hurry up and do it! I can't wait to see Lee Seung-hyun die."

Lu Weiwenjie was extremely excited, his expression contorted.

"Sigh, this young man is so handsome, why is he so stupid, insisting on throwing his life away?"

"That's right, if he were willing to come to me, I'd be willing to pay him myself."

Several female disciples of the Huanhua Sword Sect expressed their regret.

"Senior brother, there's no need to look anymore, he's doomed. Let's hurry inside and find Senior Brother Gao; he seems to be in trouble."

Junior Brother Qi Qiao reminded him.

Qi Qiao nodded, glanced at Li Chengxuan, and thought to himself, "That's right. Even Senior Brother Gao might not be a match for this Fire-Slaying Monkey. What am I waiting for?"

As they talked, the two turned and left, decisively abandoning the vermilion fruit tree.

"Li Chengxuan, I'll keep watch for your surroundings, be careful!"

Huang Ziya, though worried, was the only one who believed in Li Chengxuan.

"Ziya, don't you understand? Li Chengxuan is doomed. He'll be torn to pieces by this fire-eating monkey."

Lu Wenjie gritted his teeth and said.

"Waaah"

To everyone's surprise, the Fire-Slaying Monkey did not attack Li Chengxuan's arrival. Instead, it retreated repeatedly and growled.

"This..." Everyone was stunned, not understanding why.

next moment.

With a "whoosh," Li Chengxuan flicked his sleeve, and the green bamboo sword flew out, aiming straight for the monkey's head.

"Roar!" The Fire-Slaying Monkey roared in a low, rough voice, and hurriedly dodged. It dared not confront Li Chengxuan's sharp edge head-on. For some reason, although it sensed that the human in front of it was not highly skilled, it had a kind of instinctive fear deep in its bloodline that made it unwilling to provoke him.

"Oh, what a clever monkey."

Li Chengxuan smiled slightly, did not pursue, used the Bright Yellow Bell to protect himself, and headed towards the Vermilion Fruit Tree ahead.

At this moment, the Zhu Guo tree was only a few feet away from him, and he was the first person to see the tree in its entirety.

This tree is only half a person tall, but its trunk is straight and thick, and its branches and leaves are dense and crimson. Among this crimson color, there are fourteen vermilion fruits scattered among them, emitting a faint fragrance.

"brush"

Li Chengxuan waved his hand, grabbed three vermilion fruits and picked them off, then moved slightly, preparing to pick off the other vermilion fruits.

Finally, the Fire-Slaying Monkey couldn't hold back any longer and with a "whoosh," it spat out a mouthful of flames.

Li Chengxuan remained completely calm, picking four vermilion fruits with one hand and raising the other, unleashing a burst of invisible sword energy.

With a "whoosh," the sword energy pierced through the flames, melting them completely.

The Fire-Slaying Monkey was greatly alarmed. It scratched its head and jumped back and forth. It was very intelligent, and in just a moment, it realized that the person in front of it was stronger than all the previous people combined, and it was too afraid to fight.

Li Chengxuan remained calm and composed. He then clasped his hands together, rolled up the remaining Vermilion Fruits, and left. In an instant, there were no more Vermilion Fruits on the tree.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the people on the stone platform not far away.

"Great! Quick, run back!"

Huang Ziya was overjoyed and waved repeatedly, urging Li Chengxuan to run away quickly.

"That's impossible! How come the monkey didn't tear him to pieces!"

Lu Wenjie was utterly shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Wow, this guy's got some skills; he actually managed to pick all the Vermilion Fruits."

The female disciples of the Huanhua Sword Sect were amazed.

"I thought it was all show and no substance, but it turns out it's made with the real deal!"

Another female disciple's eyes gleamed with a strange light, revealing an expression of admiration.

"What did I miss? Where did this cultivator come from? How is this possible?"

Mo Feifei woke up from her coma with an incredulous look on her face. Although she had seen Li Chengxuan's handsome face while he was hiding in the crowd, she hadn't paid any attention to it, since she always let her strength speak for itself.

On the other side, Qi Qiao and his companion, who were about to leave, also stopped.

Qi Qiao said, "Sure enough, I always felt that this kind of person was not so simple. Now it seems that I am sure. I don't know what Tianji Tower is doing, but they ranked him as number 134."

Junior Brother Qi Qiao said, "That's not necessarily true. Perhaps the monkey was exhausted by you guys in the early stages and was too weak, which is why Li Chengxuan took the opportunity to attack. Otherwise, why didn't the monkey attack him?"

Lu Wenjie shared the same thought, and he snapped out of his daze, shouting, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Li Chengxuan must have used a trick. How could someone ranked 130th or 14th possibly be a match for this Fire-Slaying Monkey? Impossible!"

Suddenly.

"Look! That Fire-Hating Monkey is about to attack! Li Chengxuan is doomed!"

His voice rose again.

Following his gaze, everyone saw that the Fire-Slaying Monkey, which had been hiding, suddenly sprang up, flames rising around its body, like a fire spirit, and rushed straight towards Li Chengxuan.

Finally, it couldn't hold back any longer; the fear deep in its blood was ultimately defeated by practical benefits.

These Vermilion Fruits are essential resources for its breakthrough to the second tier, and it must not abandon them.

"Well done!"

A glint flashed in Li Chengxuan's eyes. He formed hand seals, unleashing his inner power as he fully activated the Nine Tribulations Thunder Scripture. In an instant, thunder roared up, changing the color of the heavens and earth.

At this moment, he covered himself with lightning, like a lightning spirit, and went straight to meet the Fire-Slaying Monkey.

In an instant, lightning and flames intertwined, bursting forth with dazzling light that illuminated the world.

"Knock knock knock!"

The man and the monkey fought fiercely, their blows landing squarely on each other. The aftershocks of their battle alone were enough to destroy the towering trees in the surrounding area.

"This...this is ranked 134th, Tianji Tower, are you really sure?!"

Qi Qiao, standing in the distance, looked even more shocked, to the point where he could no longer hide it.

As an inner disciple of Huayang Sect, he had seen countless geniuses and outstanding individuals. He had even fought against the core disciples known as the "True Core Seeds," but none of them had given him such a strong shock.

"I remember, the sect's stronghold in Yuezhou was built by a small family surnamed Li from Longnan, right? Could it be this person's family?"

Mo Feifei looked shocked and quickly asked.

"It should be him. I've seen his information: Li Chengxuan, of the Li clan under the pillar!"

A female disciple of the Huanhua Sword Sect nodded.

"It's a real pity that someone like him is living in the Li family like a dragon lying in shallow water. We should find a way to recruit him to our Huanhua Sword Sect."

Mo Feifei said excitedly.

Generally speaking, the Huanhua Sword Sect does not accept male disciples, but geniuses are always an exception, and someone like Li Chengxuan fits the criteria perfectly.

Their conversation, which they made no attempt to hide, naturally reached Huang Ziya's ears. She frowned and said sarcastically, "A member of the family would never betray the family!"

Mo Feifei chuckled and said, "Loyalty is nothing more than a lack of benefits. My Huanhua Sword Sect has always been generous, so Miss Huang need not worry."

Huang Ziya was about to retort when she saw Lu Wenjie next to her acting like he had lost his mind, muttering, "No, no, I must have seen wrong. He's just a nobody ranked 134th."

In his line of sight, Li Chengxuan was slamming the Fire-Slaying Monkey heavily to the ground. He then unleashed a flurry of punches, delivering more than ten blows in an instant, leaving the Fire-Slaying Monkey a bloody mess.

Seeing this, he was completely stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing. He was filled with shock, doubt, and regret, and remained speechless for a long time.

It was at this moment.

"Wait, the Fire-Hating Monkey's aura suddenly surged, and it even spat out a flaming staff!"
