I died young at the start, but I'm reincarnated with unlimited skill points!

After obtaining the Guardian Seal of Tianyun Market, Su Yu did not rush to take up his post and hand over the reins.

Tianyun Market is there, you can't go anywhere, it doesn't matter if you go a few days earlier or later.

No one dared to urge such a powerful Golden Core elder to leave.

After leaving the Cangxuan Sect's mountain gate, Su Yu transformed into a dazzling purple-gold rainbow and sped straight towards Qingmu Market on the border of Yue Kingdom.

The speed at which a Golden Core cultivator can escape is terrifying!

The distance of 100,000 li was a journey that would have taken him seven days and seven nights to cover when he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Now, he flew through the air, breaking through layers of clouds, in just one day and one night.

Su Yu was eager to return home and sped along the way, making no effort to conceal the aura of a great cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

That terrifying pressure from the Golden Core stage cultivator was like a tangible, rolling dark cloud, sweeping across the sky.

The journey disturbed countless cultivation families and reclusive cultivators.

Countless low-level cultivators were horrified when they felt this oppressive force descending from the sky. They didn't even dare to raise their heads and could only lie face down on the ground.

He was terrified that a careless probe with his divine sense would invite the casual annihilation of a Golden Core Ancestor.

One day later.

Aoki-wara, on the border of Vietnam.

"Buzz—!"

The protective array surrounding the market, built by the Su family at great expense, was instantly activated!

The cyan light curtain flickered violently, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.

"My God... what is that aura?!"

"The grand formation is about to shatter! This spiritual pressure... is definitely not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess!"

"Golden Core! It's a Golden Core cultivator descending upon us!!"

Within the market, thousands of independent cultivators and lower-level cultivators, under the absolute suppression of life level, uncontrollably felt their legs go weak, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

A pall of despair instantly enveloped this once bustling center of cultivation.

The Su family of Qianlong, inner palace hall.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The piercing, mournful highest-level family alarm bells echoed wildly.

Su Yao was dressed in a magnificent family elder's robe, her pretty face as pale as paper.

She was no longer the little girl who used to follow Su Yu around, chattering and showing off her newly learned spells.

Now, she is a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and is the most powerful figure in the Su family besides the patriarch.

But at this moment, facing the terrifying pressure overhead that seemed capable of easily wiping out the entire family, Su Yao's hand holding the flying sword trembled uncontrollably.

"Patriarch! The clan's protective formation can only hold for another ten breaths at most!"

Several core elders at the ninth level of Qi Refining, who had reached the Great Perfection stage, stumbled into the main hall, their faces ashen and their voices filled with undisguised despair.

"Which Golden Core cultivator is passing by? Our Su family has always adhered to the rules, staying in a secluded corner, and has never offended any high-level cultivators!"

"Is Heaven determined to destroy the Su family?!"

The entire hall was in complete chaos.

Just when everyone was in despair, a steady footstep sound came from the back room.

Su Yuan, the patriarch of the Su family, who was 273 years old, walked out with his hands behind his back.

Although his hair was completely white, his Foundation Establishment True Essence remained solid and substantial, showing no signs of aging.

His appearance was like an unshakeable anchor, instantly giving the panicked crowd in the hall a sense of security.

"What's the panic! The sky hasn't fallen yet!"

Su Yuan's expression was cold and stern as he sternly rebuked the panicked crowd.

But in his eyes, a death wish, a willingness to perish together with the enemy, was revealed.

He knew all too well what the Golden Core stage represented.

Faced with such absolute power, the Su family's proud heritage is nothing but a joke.

"Su Yao, open the secret passage in the back mountain, take the family's spiritual root seed and the core roster of mortals, and immediately retreat into Black Wind Valley, hiding your identities!"

Su Yuan issued the final instructions methodically.

"Ancestor! And you?" Su Yao's eyes were red.

"I stayed."

Su Yuan took a deep breath, and the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection True Essence within his body began to reverse and boil in an extremely dangerous manner.

Since he couldn't stop it, he decided to self-destruct his Dao foundation, which he had cultivated for over two hundred years.

Even if they can't harm a Golden Core cultivator in the slightest, they hope to force out half an incense stick's worth of time to buy their family's bloodline a chance to escape.

If you lose the land but the people, you lose both the land and the people.

If people are saved but land is lost, both people and land will be preserved!

This was an ironclad rule set by his father, which he never forgot until his death!

"boom!"

Su Yuan transformed into a streak of light, soaring straight into the sky and hovering beneath the crumbling array of light.

"This junior, Su Yuan, head of the Su family, is unaware of your arrival, senior. I have failed to greet you properly!"

"This junior is willing to offer up the entire wealth of the market and this crippled body, only begging for your mercy, senior, to spare the lives of my people..."

Su Yuan's voice, carried by his true energy, echoed across the land, filled with endless desolation.

The entire Aokibo market was eerily silent.

Just when everyone thought that the Su family was about to be annihilated by a thunderous blow.

In the sky, the breathtaking purple-gold sea of ​​clouds slowly receded like a tide.

Su Yu, dressed in a purple and gold brocade robe, strolled down from the clouds and spoke with a strange expression.

"Father, it's me, Su Yu."

In mid-air, the originally tragic and fierce atmosphere of facing death instantly froze.

The surging true essence within his body was forcibly trapped in his meridians, almost causing Su Yuan to spit out a mouthful of blood.

He struggled to lift his head and looked at the familiar face above the clouds.

It's Su Yu!

He is his biological father who was reincarnated and reborn!

Our ancestor is not dead!

And it even formed a golden core?!

A kind of ecstasy that could ignite the soul instantly overwhelmed Su Yuan's dying mind.

His knees buckled, and he almost blurted out "Dad".

But in the blink of an eye, Su Yuan felt thousands of blank stares below him, and his rationality slammed on the brakes.

Yes! The rules!

I have to perform in front of a large audience!

Su Yuan was secretly delighted, but outwardly he shouted with trembling hands.

"Yu...Yu'er?!"

"It really is you?! You...you've actually reached the Core Formation stage?!"

Below, the thousands of independent cultivators and lower-level cultivators who had expected to face a massacre of the city were now completely dumbfounded.

Dead silence.

The silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared blankly at the figure in mid-air radiating a terrifying purple-gold aura, and then looked at Su Yuan, the Su family patriarch, who was weeping bitterly.

After a brief moment of stagnation, it was as if a spark had been thrown into a frying pan of oil, and the entire Aokibo City erupted into chaos!

"Golden Core! The Su family of Qianlong has actually produced a Golden Core cultivator!"

"Heavens above! Isn't that the Su family's Daoist disciple who was taken away by the Cangxuan Sect a hundred years ago? How old is he? He's actually formed his core!"

"That's a Golden Core elder from a Nascent Soul sect! The Su family... the Su family is about to soar to new heights!"

Shock, awe, and even extreme envy and fear!

Families at the Foundation Establishment stage may be able to dominate even in remote areas.

But in the eyes of the cultivation world, he can only be considered a nouveau riche who is not respectable.

Once you provoke a truly high-level cultivator, destruction can happen in the blink of an eye.

But the Golden Core families are completely different!

This is truly stepping into the upper echelons of the cultivation world, becoming a cultivation family capable of passing down its traditions for hundreds or even thousands of years!

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

From this day forward, the Su family of Qianlong will be the absolute uncrowned kings of this border region of Yue, and even of several neighboring countries!

midair.

Su Yu looked down at Su Yuan and a smile appeared on his lips.

He withdrew his Golden Core stage aura, and with a sway of his body, landed in front of Su Yuan, reaching out to help this "old father" up in perfect cooperation.

"Father, I have not failed you."

Su Yu called out "father" in a flat and indifferent tone.

But to Su Yuan, it sounded like he had eaten a ginseng fruit, making him feel completely refreshed.

Su Yuan appeared to be weeping uncontrollably, but he gripped Su Yu's arm tightly with both hands.

But deep down, his desire to show off had reached its peak in this lifetime!

"My father is a Golden Core cultivator! My father is a Golden Core Grandmaster!"

"And now, in front of tens of thousands of people, in full view of everyone, he's calling me 'father'!"

"Such an unprecedented and unparalleled display of power—who else in this world could have such good fortune as me?!"

Su Yuan was so happy that his breathing became rapid.

……

A moment later, the stone door to the secret chamber in the forbidden area of ​​Zufeng slammed shut.

The moment the isolation array was activated, Su Yuan, the patriarch of the Su family who had been so imposing outside, suddenly buckled at the knees and knelt down in front of Su Yu with practiced ease.

"Father! You're making me so ashamed!"

Su Yuan hugged Su Yu's leg, and this time the tears on his face were genuine. He was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.

"Golden Core! You actually crossed that insurmountable barrier!"

"Just now outside, when you called me 'Father,' I felt both delighted and terrified, as if it would shorten my lifespan!"

Su Yu walked to the stone table and sat down. Looking at his good-for-nothing son, he shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, get up. You're almost three hundred years old, and you're still so clumsy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu's consciousness stirred slightly.

Someone is coming.

It's Su Yao.

"You're pacing around anxiously outside. Now that you're here, don't just stand around outside the lines."

Su Yu smiled faintly, casually made a hand seal with his fingertips, and gently pointed towards the stone gate.

The heavy stone door of the secret chamber slid open to both sides with a sound.

"Come in, Yao'er."

Outside the formation, Su Yao was suddenly surprised to see the stone door wide open and hear that familiar call. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She stumbled into the secret chamber, and when she sensed the aura of the Golden Core emanating from Su Yu, which was as deep and unfathomable as a hell, she froze on the spot, tears streaming down her face.

"Brother...you...you really formed your core?"

Su Yao's voice trembled, and tears of joy welled up in her eyes.

Although everyone knows that Su Yu is a prodigy with a third-grade spiritual root.

But in the world of cultivation, there are far too many examples of geniuses dying young.

Before Su Yu returned, no one in the family dared to hope that he could actually form a golden core.

They felt that if he could cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage in the Cangxuan Sect, it would be an incredible stroke of luck for the Su family.

But now, a living Golden Core cultivator is sitting right here.

The entire Su family has truly risen to the top in one leap!

"Yao'er, you're already at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, why are you still acting like a little girl?"

Su Yu casually pointed to the futon next to him, "Sit down."

After the two calmed down, Su Yu didn't waste any words and directly patted the storage bag at his waist.

"Splash—"

Accompanied by a blinding flash of light, dozens of jade boxes radiating astonishing spiritual energy and hundreds of high-grade spirit stones were instantly piled up on the stone table in the secret chamber.

Several top-grade Foundation Establishment artifacts, radiating terrifying power, floated silently in mid-air.

Su Yuan and Su Yao's breath caught in their throats, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.

"Father...this, this is..." Su Yuan swallowed.

"These are the resources I accumulated in the Cangxuan Sect; it would be a waste to keep them with me."

Su Yu spoke in a flat tone.

"Those bottles contain top-grade pills for cleansing marrow and protecting meridians, enough to help several members of the family with ninth-grade spiritual roots break through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. You can choose these magical artifacts yourselves, and the rest will be added to the family's treasury."

"With these foundations, even if we use resources to force our way in, the Su family of Qianlong will never lack Foundation Establishment cultivators in the next two hundred years."

Looking at this enormous fortune, enough to buy dozens of Aokibo cities.

Su Yuan and Su Yao's hands trembled, their awe and gratitude towards Su Yu reaching an unparalleled level.

After staying in Aokibo City for a few days and giving some pointers on cultivation to the younger generation of his family, he...

Su Yu then decided not to linger any longer.

"I have received the Dharma Seal of the Cangxuan Sect and will soon be taking up my post as the Guardian Elder of Tianyun Market."

Before leaving, Su Yu stood atop the ancestral peak and looked at Su Yuan and Su Yao behind him.

"That will be the next stronghold for the Su family."

……

Tianyun Market is the largest trading hub for cultivators within the Yue Kingdom.

This place boasts a rare third-grade low-level spiritual vein, with city walls reaching a height of a hundred feet, and a protective array capable of withstanding several bombardments from early-stage Golden Core cultivators.

The profits from this business far exceed those of Aokibo Market by a hundred times.

When Su Yu transformed into a purple-gold rainbow and descended upon Tianyun Market, no chaos occurred within the city.

Because Tianyun Market was originally guarded by the Golden Core elders of the Cangxuan Sect in rotation.

The independent cultivators and local bullies here have long been accustomed to being ruled by high-ranking cultivators from major sects.

Inside the main hall of the garrison headquarters.

Su Yu sat upright in the main seat, casually placing the bronze seal representing the power of the Cangxuan Sect on the table.

Below the steps, four cultivators knelt trembling with fear.

These four individuals are all heads of families and presidents of chambers of commerce from local forces in Tianyun City, and all of them are at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

To ordinary independent cultivators, they were high-ranking figures.

But in front of Su Yu, the newly appointed Golden Core Guardian, they were as docile as four cats whose teeth had been pulled.

"This junior pays his respects to Master Su!"

The four men lay prone on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the cold bluestone bricks, their hearts filled with unease.

The new official took office three fires.

Each new Golden Core Guardian brings a major reshuffling of the market's power structure to ensure they reap the greatest benefits.

The four men knew perfectly well that their obedience was a prelude to waiting for the new garrison commander to set his price.

A full incense stick's time had passed.

"Get up, everyone."

From the seat of honor, Su Yu finally spoke, his tone flat, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

Upon hearing this, the four felt as if they had been granted a pardon and stood up with extreme caution.

"This junior is Li Chongshan."

"This is my junior, Chen Daoan."

"Junior Wang Bai."

"This junior is Zhao Fujia."

"Welcome Master Su to Tianyun Market."

The four spoke in unison, their attitude extremely submissive.

Su Yu nodded slightly.

Having lived two lives, he naturally understood the schemes of these local bullies.

"I don't like trouble, and I don't intend to stir up any bloodshed in Tianyun Market."

Su Yu got straight to the point.

"My family will be moving here soon."

"The Su family of Qianlong will take root in Tianyun Market from now on."

"I don't want to see any obstacles in this matter."

This statement came out.

The four people below all felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

The entire clan relocated?

This is completely different from the Cangxuan Sect elders who usually only bring a few close followers when they take office.

For a family to establish itself, it needs sacred mountains, medicinal gardens, shops, and a massive influx of spirit stones.

This means that the Su family is going to have to carve out a large chunk of flesh from these four local bullies.

Normally, if any outside family dared to do this, the four families would have joined forces to wipe them out without leaving a trace.

But now, the one sitting up there speaking is a Golden Core cultivator.

Li Chongshan and the other three only weighed the options in their minds for less than half a breath before making a completely unanimous decision based on their hearts.
