The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2892 The Essence of Matter

Ouyang Min actually felt a little resentful towards this expedition team.

During the first family meeting, the Great Elder was suppressed by other elders, and he sat behind the Great Elder, seeing everything. However, since Ouyang Jing was in seclusion to break through to the innate realm, once he succeeded in the seclusion, it would be the absolute doom for the disobedient members after he came out.

The struggle within the family is not a game of playing house or a game of going down today and taking the stage tomorrow. It is a life-and-death struggle under the cover of calm. Even if a family can guarantee unity to the outside world, the internal struggle is still as fierce as swords and swords.

Therefore, before the meeting, the Great Elder had already warned them not to object too much during the meeting and to consider that once Ouyang Jing came out of seclusion, they might suffer.

Therefore, during the meeting, the Great Elder also tried his best to ensure the interests of their lineage. He arranged for people to participate in this expedition and gained some benefits. In fact, what attracted the Great Elder the most was this expedition because there was a chance to obtain treasures for the advanced innate level.

The Great Elder was already a peak master of the tenth level of the acquired realm, but he had been stuck at this stage for decades without making any progress. Although he had tried many methods, he was still stuck at the tenth level of the acquired realm, which was a pain in the heart of the Great Elder.

You know, once the great elder advances to become an innate master, then the position of the patriarch of the entire family will definitely be his. All the warriors in their lineage will naturally have great benefits. But unfortunately, they have not taken that step for decades.

Since there were treasures that could help one advance to the innate realm during this expedition, how could the Great Elder not fight for it? Therefore, during the meeting, they had already decided to participate, and they also wanted to arrange for more people to participate. This way, when they came back, they could ensure that they would bring back treasures that could help one advance to the innate realm.

Therefore, although the Great Elder knew that all the warriors in this expedition team were from his lineage, he also knew that the decision made by other elders of the family and the acting clan leader Ouyang Ruoxi was actually to reduce the strength of his side.

Everything was actually calculated by the Great Elder. No effort, no reward. For a person like the Great Elder, he had a very thorough understanding of many things. After all, if there were no warriors from his school participating, once he obtained the treasure of the advanced innate, how could he possibly use it?

But even so, the leader of the expedition team fell into the hands of the acting clan leader under his clan leader's strong power. In the end, the acting clan leader, Ouyang Ruoxi, decided to let Ouyang Nan lead the team, and Ouyang Min was just to help Ouyang Na and do auxiliary work.

Even the two vice-captains failed to make it. Originally, Ouyang Min wanted to argue with reason, but because of the instructions of the great elder, he endured it.

However, since he and Ouyang Nan both have the tenth level of acquired cultivation, once there is any conflict in the team or if a wrong decision is made, Ouyang Min will stand up and directly take over the entire expedition team, replacing Ouyang Nan's command.

But just as they were about to set out, a guy named Li Mo appeared, the boyfriend of Ouyang Nan's younger niece.

Originally, Ouyang Min didn't take it seriously. After all, he had inquired through others and found out that the person who came was just a small warrior of the sixth level of the acquired realm, with average strength. However, he joined the team just to gain more experience by relying on Ouyang Nan's face.

Ouyang Min naturally wouldn't say much about this. There was nothing much to say about a sixth-level post-natal warrior. After all, if something happened, it would just be a matter of convenience.

However, what Ouyang Min did not expect was that this guy actually had a conflict with Qian Wantong, and then burst out with the strength of the tenth level of the acquired realm.

This is so damn serious that Ouyang Min is speechless and finds it hard to accept.

Originally there were only two people in the team, he and Ouyang Nan, and the other one was a tenth-level acquired martial artist, but due to this conflict, the team directly became three tenth-level acquired martial artists.

At one point, Ouyang Min suspected that this young man was arranged by Ouyang Nan to target him. He was here to cooperate with Ouyang Nan and suppress his people. As for the title of nephew-in-law, it might just be a title.

Fortunately, after a few days of observation, he found that although this young man's strength was at the tenth level of acquired realm, he was really Ouyang Nan's niece-in-law. When the expedition team was moving, he was always flirting with Ouyang Nan's niece and never participated in the team's decision-making.

This also made Ouyang Min feel relieved.

In fact, if this young man was his nephew-in-law, Ouyang Min would be 100% willing. After all, a young man has already reached the tenth level of the acquired realm, and anyone would be willing.

It’s a pity that my niece didn’t know this young man, but Ouyang Nan’s niece is really lucky.

However, he had never seen Ouyang Nan's niece before, and he really had no idea where she came from.

But even if he was relieved, this guy named Li Mo had always been a thorn in his heart. After all, this guy was Ouyang Nan's nephew-in-law. Once he and Ouyang Nan had a conflict, they would definitely stand on the opposite side, and the young man would definitely stand on Ouyang Nan's side.

Therefore, as the team moved forward, Ouyang Min had been restraining his emotions, cooperating well with Ouyang Nan, and trying his best to make Ouyang Nan and others relax their vigilance.

The purpose of doing this is to gain something. It would be great if he could get a treasure that could help him advance to the Xiantian realm. Ouyang Min even thought that if he could get a treasure, he could advance to the Xiantian realm here. Unfortunately, his strength was not at the peak of the tenth level of the acquired realm, but only at the initial stage of the tenth level of the acquired realm. It would be great if he could directly upgrade himself to the Xiantian realm with a treasure.

Perhaps, during this expedition, we might be able to obtain such a treasure.

The golden snow lotus that is over a hundred years old, or even a thousand years old, is such a treasure. Unfortunately, it cannot be collected because of the protection of strange beasts. It is really a pity.

I hope I can get other treasures in the future, so that this adventure will be worthwhile.

So this time when the young man Li Mo got into trouble and stood up to stop the strange beast, in Ouyang Min's eyes, it was just an act of adding fuel to the fire, just to show off in front of Ouyang Nan.

As for whether it was really a sacrifice or something, it was absolutely impossible. Ouyang Min had never seen such a person, and he was not such a person, so he could not believe that someone could sacrifice himself for no reason and help others.

But no matter what, the ending is good. As long as this young man is killed by the alien beast, it is good news for him.

At least when he has a conflict with Ouyang Nan, he doesn't have to worry about another post-natal tenth-level warrior standing up and suppressing him.

After Ouyang Min arranged for all the warriors in the family to eat and drink, he saw Ouyang Nan coming again, inspecting the temporary camp and asking the warriors of the family one by one about other things. In his eyes, these actions were useless. After all, these warriors were all members of his own family. It was impossible to win them over through such a painless behavior.

After seeing Ouyang Nan's behavior, Ouyang Min shook his head, turned around and went into his small tent, took out a medicinal herb he had collected in the valley, and started eating it directly.

His current strength is only at the initial stage of the tenth level of the acquired realm. If he does not work hard to cultivate, if there is an advanced treasure in front of him, but he has no way to use it, wouldn't that be a great pity? So he should seize every moment to improve his strength.

The herbs collected in the valley are really good. If they were placed outside, they would definitely be very rare. But now, he was just chewing them like a carrot. It was really good.

These collected medicinal herbs were actually given to him secretly by the family warriors without Ouyang Nan knowing.

"Don't think that you, Ouyang Nan, are the leader and in charge of everything in the team, but it's just the things on the surface, haha!" Ouyang Min chewed the herbs and couldn't help complaining in his heart. Seeing Ouyang Nan leading the team diligently and responsibly, he thought of it as working for him. Once there was any situation, he would stand up and take over the leadership rights.

Ouyang Nan inspected the team and asked the family warriors who were injured earlier and set out early this morning to see how they recovered. After all, the recovery of these people's strength was also related to the subsequent actions.

Since entering this valley, the entire expedition team has been losing people, so Ouyang Nan also has a sense of crisis. Although these warriors are all warriors from the great elder's lineage, they are all descendants of the Ouyang family after all.

Although one of the purposes of coming here this time was to reduce the strength of the Great Elder, which meant that some warriors in the team might be killed or injured, after all the crises in the valley, Ouyang Nan had a strong premonition that if he was not careful, he might not be able to get out of the valley and all the team members might be lost here.

Therefore, she now put aside the decision she made before departure and tried her best to ensure the safety of the family warriors.

After losing two family warriors at the hilly nursery, Ouyang Nan became more cautious, especially since she vaguely felt that Qian Ying, the team leader, would let other family members rush forward when they encountered danger later, so as to minimize the losses of their Qian family.

After all, no matter who it is, even if she is the team leader, she will make the same decision. That's human nature.

So now she is trying her best to build relationships with these family warriors and unite them, so that when she encounters danger in the future, these family warriors will obey her orders.

However, I still need to discuss this with Ouyang Min, and I don’t know if he can cooperate with me.

In fact, Ouyang Nan knew very well what Ouyang Min was thinking, but now was not the time to fight, but to save their lives. Therefore, any fight was meaningless, and saving lives was the most important thing.

But when he looked over, he found that Ouyang Min was missing. Where did this guy go?

After asking a few family warriors, I found out that Ouyang Min had gone to the tent to practice.

After hearing this, Ouyang Nan gave up the idea of ​​going to him to discuss things. It would be bad for her to disturb others while they were practicing. So she decided to wait, so she found some water and food, found Ouyang Ruoxi, and waited with her until the young man Li Mo came back.
