Cultivating a family of immortals

Xuan Yebai looked at her somewhat flustered expression and said with a light laugh:

"Don't be afraid. I only peeked into your memories to save you..."

Xu Jingtao was taken aback, and a blush immediately crept onto her face. She didn't know how to answer.

Xuan Yebai drank the wine in his cup and said calmly:

"I admire you. With a collateral descendant like you, the Xu family is destined for prosperity. Patriarch Xu, you mustn't let her down!"

Xu Changle nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, but it's tough on the child."

"Bitter?" Xuan Yebai chuckled lightly, then his tone shifted to one of extreme coldness:

"What is hardship compared to cultivating immortality? For the sake of the clan, the clansmen have done their utmost. Even if their loved ones or benefactors are in front of them, if they pose a threat to the clan, they should be eliminated. Jing Tao did well, and you don't need to feel guilty. That's how things are in this world. From now on, strive to cultivate and transcend love, and you will surely see the Great Dao!"

Xu Jingtao's heart stirred, realizing that Young Master Xuan was trying to rid her of her inner demons. She slowly stood up and bowed respectfully to Xuan Yebai, saying:

"Jing Tao understands, thank you, young master..."

Seeing this, Xuan Yebai knew that she understood his meaning, and smiled again, saying, "Since you understand, then drink a few more cups."

Xu Changle watched from the side, a bitter smile on his face.

This young master Xuan is so unrestrained by nature, fond of wine and pleasure; he is indeed a remarkable person.

Can……

He shook his head abruptly, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Do today's work today, and worry about tomorrow's work later.

Xu Jingheng also rushed over at this moment. As soon as he entered the door, Xuan Yebai waved his hand and shouted:

"Quickly, drink three cups! Tomorrow is the founding ceremony of the Xu family; let me test your poetry!"

"Hmph, senior brother, today I'll show you what truly profound words are!"

Xu Jingheng walked over and sat down. After drinking three cups, he and Xuan Yebai began to compose poems and exchange verses.

The Xu family and others felt goosebumps all over, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they just buried their heads and drank.

The scene was peaceful and harmonious.

Unlike the current Guanxue Sect, in a cave dwelling of the Chaoyang Immortal Sect, Lin Chenbi stood blankly at the cave entrance, gazing at the swirling snow outside, his eyes filled with a complex mix of sorrow and hatred.

On the small table in the cave dwelling were wine and a few small dishes, but he couldn't eat them at all, and he couldn't even drown his sorrows in alcohol.

His mind was in turmoil, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He had just received a message from Chu Lanwei that the matter of the Chaoyang Sect had been temporarily suppressed, and Chu Lanwei had personally gone upstairs to host a banquet for the Xuanyuan Sect disciples.

He would wait here, patiently awaiting the Xuan Yuan Sect's withdrawal, before helping Chu Lanwei seize control of the sect.

Logically, he should be cultivating, but the Lin family was destroyed and the Haoran Sect was renamed the Guanxue Sect. How could Lin Chenbi calm his mind?

Especially when I think of the Xu family... their faces...

He felt a deep hatred in his heart, and also a hint of regret.

If the Haoran Sect hadn't been embroiled in internal strife, if... after the Battle of Mochuan River, he had exercised more control over the Xu family, and had swiftly annihilated them should the Xu family have made any significant moves...

Will this happen again today?

After much thought, he arrived at an answer that filled him with despair.

meeting.

Even if the Xu family is wiped out, the Xuan Yuan Sect will still go to war with the Hao Ran Sect.

Because the third generation of the Xu family, the third generation of the Xu family named Xu Jingheng, joined the Xuan Yuan Sect.

He's a member of the Xu family. How could he not intervene when the Xu family was wiped out?

However… if things continue to develop in this direction, and Xu Jingheng leads the Xuan Yuan Sect to wage war against the Hao Ran Sect, he can easily find some scapegoats to appease Xu Jingheng's anger, and the Hao Ran Sect will still exist…

It's just a pity that he didn't expect this step.

Unexpectedly, the Xu family was so decisive...so ruthless and cunning, taking advantage of my absence from the sect to launch a swift attack, leaving the sect no time to react.

He didn't even have a chance to plead for mercy.

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of anger and slammed his fist into the wall, instantly creating a large crater in the cave wall and leaving his hand covered in blood.

He didn't use any spiritual energy; he used only his physical strength to smash it.

The pain in his hand gradually subsided.

After a long silence, he finally calmed his mind, turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to concentrate his energy and regulate his breathing to cultivate.

He is currently at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and only needs a Foundation Establishment Pill to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, his breathing was unstable, and since he did not possess a fire-attribute spiritual root, he was unable to refine pills...

The most important thing right now is to stabilize my mind and cultivate my skills to perfection, until my heart is calm and undisturbed. Then, after the Xuan Yuan Sect disciples leave, I will help the Chao Yang Sect seize power. I will stay here and cultivate in peace until I find an opportunity to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, then consume it and achieve the Foundation Establishment realm...

Then, he would act like a ghost, assassinating members of the Xu family...

Thinking of this, a smile crept onto his lips, a smile that was both a laugh and a cry, and he murmured:

"Once I achieve Foundation Establishment... you members of the Xu family had better never leave the sect, otherwise... I will become your vengeful ghost!"

As the thought settled, he slowly closed his eyes, his breath becoming increasingly solidified.

………………

After attending the founding ceremony of the Guanxue Sect, Xuan Yebai left the place with his people the next day.

Moreover, according to reports from the Xuan Yuan Sect disciples stationed in Mohe County, the Chao Yang Sect disciples who went to Ning Yuan Zhi land have returned. At the same time, the bodies of four Hao Ran Sect disciples were brought over by the Chao Yang Sect. According to the Chao Yang Sect, they eliminated the remnants of the Hao Ran Sect on the way. Only Lin Chenbi, who was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, escaped to the south. Because their cultivation was not high enough, they were unable to eliminate him.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Xuan nodded casually.

A cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining... is not a big deal. Now that the Xu family has seized Huaxue Mountain and has a protective array, this person is not a concern. We just need to keep an eye on him.

Moreover, with their enemies lurking in the shadows, the Xu family ultimately has to rely on its own strength to deter them.

Xu Changle understood this principle and respectfully saw the Xuan Yuan Sect disciples off.

In the end, the Chaoyang Sect never received a visit from Young Master Xuan, and naturally could not ask for his help.

Today, Guanxuezong is thriving both inside and outside the sect.

The Xu family entrusted all the affairs of the Immortal Pavilion to Xu Jingtao. The sect's system was complete, and with the addition of dozens of outer disciples at the founding ceremony, the sect's strength had increased.

As for how the sect operates, Xu Changle personally takes Xu Jingluo to improve it every day.

Xu Jingheng also stayed at Guanxue Sect for the time being to help with affairs.

One day, Xu Changle was standing on a tree in a forest in the mountains when he suddenly received a secret message on a jade talisman.

The secret message was sent by the cultivators stationed in Guanyun Village.

He opened it, glanced at it, and his expression immediately changed drastically.

"The Chaoyang Sect... is in turmoil..."

"The position of sect leader..."

He stared blankly in the direction of Chaoyang Sect, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
