Family Cultivation: Expelled from the Wilderness at the Start

Chapter 26 Loose cultivators come to visit
"Brother Lingxiao!"

It was getting late, and Xie Lingqing was about to move the cages of several molted beast cubs into the main hall, but suddenly found someone in the air holding a magic weapon and slowly falling down, and he couldn't help but panicked and ran into the main hall.

"what happened?"

Seeing him running in hastily from outside, Xie Lingxiao already had a guess in his mind.

Xie Lingquan, who was next to him, also had a premonition of something, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Outside...there's a person coming outside!"

They were not familiar with the place here, and they were close to the wilderness. They were close to those ferocious casual cultivators. How could Xie Lingqing not panic when someone suddenly came in at night.

"Zhao Zhile, a wild and scattered cultivator, wants to see you!"

Before Xie Lingxiao had time to speak, a slightly serious voice sounded outside the hall.

When other people in the hall heard this, their expressions also changed.

Xie Lingxiao glanced at Xie Lingquan, signaled him to tidy up the hall, and then walked out of the hall.

I saw a figure standing on the ground outside the main hall, a middle-aged man in his fifties, a slovenly and bloody Qi practitioner. If not the one who came to spy on them again and again, who could it be?

"I don't know the arrival of the senior, so I am far away to welcome you!"

Xie Lingxiao said a polite word.

"No, no, I took the liberty of disturbing you."

Zhao Zhile waved his hand.

It stands to reason that casual cultivators have always been respectful to the sect's rulers. After all, if the sect is not happy, they will not even have food to eat. However, it is obvious that these few days of snooping have made Zhao Zhile feel contemptuous.

"I didn't know that senior was here..."

When Xie Lingxiao saw this, he stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point.

"There's really a win-win thing."

Zhao Zhile nodded and said, "Let's go into the palace and talk."

He completely ignored the idea that Xie Lingxiao didn't invite him in.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's rude to say this when you enter the palace. Please come in!"

Hearing this, Xie Lingxiao could only show a look of sudden realization.

Zhao Zhile was not polite to Xie Lingxiao and walked into the main hall first.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the panic and fearful eyes of everyone in the hall. He couldn't help but become more and more contemptuous, and directly looked at the main hall without any scruples.

Xie Lingxiao followed him. Seeing him looking at him endlessly, he could only say: "Senior, please come here and sit down and talk in detail."

Zhao Lezhi then withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, glanced at the futon on the ground and said, "This place looks the same as when we moved out. Why don't the nobles buy some guys and live in such poverty?"

"Sure enough, they were the casual cultivators who occupied this place."

Xie Lingxiao muttered secretly in his heart, but said calmly on the surface: "We are new here and haven't had time yet."

"That's true."

Zhao Lezhi nodded and said: "I saw that the four of you spent an entire afternoon just to kill a mere water arrow demon today. It was indeed a waste of time."

When Xie Lingqing and others heard this, their faces turned red and they were ashamed.

However, Xie Lingxiao knew that the other party was deliberately belittling himself. Even a mere water arrow beast might not be able to be solved by yourself as a Qi practitioner like you.

The Zaqi Qi Practitioner is just an enhanced version of the Qi Gathering Realm. Although he can refine spiritual energy for himself, and even possess divine consciousness and Qi control flight, they are two different concepts from the Zhengqi Qi Practitioner who can undergo qualitative changes.

"It makes the seniors laugh. The family obeyed the order of the emperor and specially asked me to come first to clear the way. The main force will come from behind."

Xie Lingxiao chuckled.

Zhao Zhile was a little wary when he heard this, but he was not that easy to fool: "That's a pity. I saw that the nobles were having a hard time. I wanted to help, but I didn't know that the nobles would have help coming." He paused and said, "Nobles. If the monsters in the territory are not eliminated in one day, those spiritual lands will be abandoned for a day. Those of us who are struggling to make a living cannot waste it. If the nobles need it, you might as well let us come and help you deal with the monsters. Let’s plant spiritual plants in those spiritual lands as soon as possible.”

"Why bother senior with this?"

When Xie Lingxiao heard this, he couldn't help but secretly thought that it was indeed a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken.

"The trouble is not in vain."

Zhao Zhile narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "After all the monsters are eliminated, we can divide the harvest of spiritual plants into [-]-[-]."

"Senior is joking. Although our ancestors have given us a favor and exempted our clan from paying tribute for three years, if we give senior [-]% of the harvest, our clan will not be able to pay the tributes and will not be able to do business with our ancestors."

"You misunderstood, I meant I am seven and you are three."

Zhao Zhile smiled and said: "Leave the other monsters you killed to our side for processing."

The faces of the tribesmen who had just tasted the sweetness of animal meat couldn't help but change when they heard this.

Xie Lingxiao's face turned cold: "Our clan will take care of the matter of exterminating the demons, so I won't trouble my seniors."

"Thirty percent is better than nothing."

Zhao Zhile shook his head and said.

Xie Lingxiao was about to say something when he heard this, but was interrupted by the other party waving his hand.

Zhao Zhile suddenly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Xie Lingxiao, saying: "I have already investigated the monsters at the foot of the mountain for you, and recorded them all in detail on paper. Not to mention that some of them have reached the level of monster soldiers. There are many monsters inside." Part of it is also equivalent to the strength of the middle and late stages of the human race's Qi gathering realm."

Although they had occupied this place before, they did not dare to touch the resources here easily. After all, if they did not use the resources, the sect would be able to shirk the blame and settle down temporarily. Otherwise, it would be of another nature, and the sect would not let them off easily.

But what they didn't expect was that the family that moved here was so weak that they were unable to eliminate demons and run the business on their own, so they decided to intervene.

Xie Lingxiao looked at the detailed information on the piece of paper and felt delighted.

The other party intended to use this information to make Xie Lingxiao surrender, but he did not know that this would be like giving Xie Lingxiao timely help.

If he wanted to explore all this information by himself, it would take him an unknown amount of time and effort to achieve it, but the other party actually delivered it to him personally.

Obviously, these casual cultivators who have no inheritance do not know that every kind of monster has the same weakness as the Mingmen. After all, not every kind of monster's weakness is as obvious as the water arrow beast. They only regard it as the characteristics of some monsters. That’s all.

What's more, although these weak and scattered cultivators have been struggling to make a living in the wilderness all year round, they are rarely in head-to-head confrontation with monsters. Unless absolutely necessary, they just hide from the monsters and secretly move some resources and cultivate their spiritual veins.

"As long as the nobles still have help, if we just rely on you guys here to deal with those ferocious beasts, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Zhao Lezhi's face showed deep disdain.

In the afternoon, he witnessed the embarrassment of Xie Lingqing and the three of them who couldn't even perform any techniques. Their actual combat abilities were staggering.

Everyone in the palace was ashamed and helpless when they heard this.

"I won't bother you, senior."

Xie Lingxiao was happy in his heart, but said calmly on the surface: "We will solve the problem of monsters. If we can't solve it, there are families and sects behind us."

Zhao Lezhi shook his head when he heard this and said: "We will benefit from cooperation. I hope the nobles will think about it carefully, so as not to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain."

"It's late at night, and there will be no seniors left."

Xie Lingxiao cupped his hands and said.

Zhao Lezhi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this and said, "I wonder if the nobles have a room available to lend me a room for one night?"

Everyone in the hall couldn't help showing strange expressions when they heard this.

"It's extremely dangerous in the wilderness. It's not like your place has been cleared by the sect. Now that it's so late, it's very dangerous to venture into the wilderness!"

Zhao Zhile said anxiously after hearing this.
