Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 799: Zhou Xun’s followers, drug den riot!
Yu Siyue's voice was tearful, her eyes full of grievance and helplessness. She quickly ran to Zhou Xun and grabbed his sleeve tightly, as if she had found her backbone.

"Master, they... they bullied my father and wanted to take Xiao Jin away!" Yu Siyue's voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhou Xun patted Yu Siyue's head gently and said in a gentle tone: "Siyue, this is the way of the world. The strong get whatever they want, and the weak bow down and beg!"

"If you want to avoid being bullied, you have to practice hard and break through to a higher level.

"If you had reached the foundation-building stage today, how could Hu Yuan dare to do this today? Your father would not be bullied, and Xiao Jin would not be taken away!"

"If you have the cultivation level of Jindan stage, he probably won't even dare to look at you!"

"Do you remember it?"

"Remember!" Yu Siyue nodded, not quite understanding.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly, and then his eyes fell on Hu Yuan. Hu Yuan's heart tightened immediately when Zhou Xun's eyes swept over him, as if he was stared at by a ferocious beast, and all the hair on his body stood up.

"Who are you?" Hu Yuan suppressed his uneasiness and asked calmly.

Zhou Xun smiled faintly and said calmly: "I am Siyue's master, and the spirit beast you want is also given by me!"

Hu Yuan was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked Zhou Xun up and down and found that he was just a young man and his cultivation didn't seem to be very high. The fear in his heart immediately dissipated a little.

At this moment, a subordinate whispered something in his ear, instantly revealing Zhou Xun's identity.

"So you are Miss Yu's master, Master Li Fu!" Hu Yuan pretended to be polite and bowed, but there was a hint of contempt in his tone.

"Since you are her master and the spirit beast was given by you, I like this spirit beast and am willing to pay a high price to buy it, so that others will not say that my Hu family bullies the weak!"

Zhou Xun raised his lips slightly when he heard this, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "Oh? I wonder how many spirit stones Mr. Hu is willing to pay?"

Hu Yuan was delighted when he saw Zhou Xun seemed to be interested in negotiating the price, thinking that he was a man who knew what was happening. He pretended to be generous and said, "Although this spirit beast is good, it is only a cub after all. I am willing to pay 100 spirit stones for it. How about that?"

Zhou Xun chuckled and shook his head: "One hundred spirit stones? Master Hu is a little too stingy."

Hu Yuan frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but he still said patiently: "Then please name a price, sir."

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, with a hint of joking in his tone: "Since Mr. Hu is so generous, I won't be polite. I want all your Hu family's property in exchange for this spirit beast. How about it?"

Hu Yuan's face darkened instantly when he heard this. He looked at Zhou Xun coldly, with a threatening tone in his voice: "Are you teasing me, sir?"

Zhou Xun still had a smile on his face and said calmly, "Tease? Mr. Hu, you misunderstood. I just think that the value of this spirit beast is far beyond what your Hu family can afford."

Hu Yuan could no longer hold back and shouted angrily, "What a big tone! Who do you think you are? How dare you be so arrogant in front of my Hu family!"

"Get it for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man beside him moved and rushed towards Zhou Xun.

He was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, and the clan specially arranged for him to be protected.

"Noisy!"

Zhou Xun raised his head and glanced at the old man.
His body, which had rushed out, suddenly stopped in the air, as if it was frozen there.
Then there was a "puff" sound, and the old man was stunned, and then he saw his body suddenly falling from the air.

There was no more sound.

A cultivator in the late stage of Qi training died just like that.

The scene was in chaos. Hu Yuan's subordinates stared at it blankly. They thought they had seen it wrong.

"Old Wu, who was in the late stage of Qi training, died just like that!"

Then he started to scream.
Such a scene is naturally not something he can understand now.

"Who the hell are you?"

Hu Yuan's face turned pale, and his voice trembled as he watched this scene.
With just one look, he could kill a person in the late stage of Qi training. Even his grandfather, the ancestor of the Hu family who was now at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building,

I'm afraid I can't do this.

Could it be that this person is actually in the late stage of foundation building?
Zhou Xun smiled faintly, his tone calm but with a hint of coldness: "I've said before, I'm Siyue's master. As for who I am, you're not worthy of knowing."

Hu Yuan was even more frightened when he heard this. He knew that he had really hit a wall this time. Zhou Xun in front of him was definitely not someone that his Hu family could afford to provoke.

"Senior... Senior, I am a young man who has offended you because I did not recognize you. Please spare my life!" Hu Yuan no longer cared about his face and knelt on the ground with a pleading tone in his voice.

Zhou Xun didn't say anything after hearing this, but looked at Yu Siyue beside him and asked in a gentle voice:
"Siyue, do you understand what happened today?"

Yu Siyue raised her head, with tears still in her eyes, but her expression was much firmer than before.

She looked at Zhou Xun and nodded vigorously: "Master, I understand. In this world, the strong are respected and the weak can only be bullied. Only by becoming stronger can we protect ourselves and the people around us."

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Yes, Siyue, I am very pleased that you can understand this. The road of cultivation is long and difficult, but as long as you persevere, one day you will stand at the top of this world and no longer be bullied by anyone."

Yu Siyue clenched her fists, with a determined light in her eyes: "Master, I will definitely work hard to practice and will never let you down!"

Zhou Xun patted her head gently and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, I believe in you."

After saying that, Zhou Xun turned his gaze to Hu Yuan who was kneeling on the ground again and waved his hand as if to drive away a fly.
"Hu Yuan, considering that you didn't kill me today, I'll spare your life, so I'll give up my cultivation. Are you convinced?" Zhou Xun said calmly.
Hu Yuan trembled all over and kowtowed quickly: "Senior, I admit defeat! I know I was wrong! Please spare my life!"

An invisible force swept across Hu Yuan's body.

next moment,
"laugh--"

His dantian suddenly deflated and was damaged in an instant.

"My my cultivation!"

With his Qi Hai Dan Tian damaged, Hu Yuan would become a useless person in the future.
Of course, if he could find a magical medicine to restore Dantian, that would be fine.
But such treasures are not something that a mere foundation-building family can produce.

Without his cultivation, he was not even as good as a cultivator at the first level of Qi training. How could he be willing to accept this?
Just at this time,

A powerful aura rushed over from afar, and in an instant it was above everyone, transforming into an old man with a long beard and wearing a brocade robe.
The moment he saw the old man, Hu Yuan seemed to have found his backbone, and said in a tearful voice:
"Grandpa, save me!"

"My cultivation is gone!"

Hu Changhai's face was heavy. He landed beside Hu Yuan and probed into his magic power to check. He sensed the sieve-like Dantian in Hu Yuan's body.

His face darkened.
Then his gaze towards Zhou Xun also became gloomy:
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Why are you so cruel and ruthless that you want to destroy my grandson's Dantian? This is the result of decades of practice!" Hu Changhai's voice was low and cold, with a hint of anger in his eyes. As the ancestor of the Hu family, he has reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building and is quite famous in Qinghefang.

However, today his grandson Hu Yuan had his cultivation abolished, which was undoubtedly a huge provocation to the Hu family.

Zhou Xun did not answer directly after hearing this. Instead, he looked at Yu Siyue and asked slowly:
"Yue'er, what do you think?"

Yu Siyue raised her head and looked at Hu Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground with a look of despair on his face. She then looked at Hu Changhai, who was standing beside her with a gloomy expression. Finally, her gaze fell on Zhou Xun.

"Master, Hu Yuan bullied others today, snatched the spirit beast, and even wanted to harm my father." Although Yu Siyue's voice was childish, it was calm and rational.
"What he did today was all his own fault. Master, you have shown mercy by abolishing his cultivation."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died immediately!"

Zhou Xun heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he nodded gently: "Yes, Siyue, you can distinguish right from wrong so well, and I am very pleased."

He pointed at Hu Changhai who was standing beside him and continued to ask:
"Then why do you think he did this today?"

"This old man seems to be using reason to interrogate, but in fact he is relying on his own cultivation and the power of the Hu family to intimidate!" Yu Siyue replied.

"Okay, okay, good!" Zhou Xun nodded.
"Then do you know why he hasn't done anything yet?"

"Naturally, I don't know the master's background and am unsure of his true strength. That's why I'm afraid of him!" Yu Siyue's voice sounded slowly.

Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems you really learned it!"

Today's lesson was really worth it.

"But I have another lesson to teach you, which is that when a person of high rank faces a person of low rank, there is no need to reason with him."

"No matter how many twisted theories you have, I can break them with one sword!"

Having said that, he flicked his finger.
A sword energy appeared out of thin air, turned into a residual shadow, and rushed towards Hu Changhai.

"Ah, the Jindan stage!"

Sensing the power of this sword energy, Hu Changhai lost his soul and felt extremely regretful.
How could his grandson offend a Jindan strongman?
Then he retreated violently, trying to escape, while loudly begging for mercy:
"Senior Rao"

Before he finished speaking, the sword energy pierced through his waist.

The defensive light shield and body on his body were cut into two parts. He fell from the sky and died without a trace.

The ancestor of the Hu family, a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building and who had dominated Qinghefang for decades, died.

Everyone stared at this scene in a daze, and the scene instantly fell into dead silence.

The Hu family's servants stared in amazement as Hu Changhai's body fell from the sky, their hearts filled with fear and despair.

They never thought that the ancestor of the Hu family would be killed so easily without even a chance to resist.

That was Hu Changhai. He grew up hearing about his reputation, and yet he died so easily!

Hu Yuan slumped on the ground, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with despair.
He had hoped that his grandfather could save him, but he didn't expect that his grandfather would be killed in an instant. He knew that he was really finished today.

Not only was he finished, but the Hu family was finished too.

At this moment, he couldn't help but hate himself in the morning. Why did he go to the miasma forest? It would have been better if he hadn't gone.
Yu Siyue was also shocked by this scene. Although she knew that her master was very powerful, she was still extremely shocked to see her master kill a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building so easily.

Even though she was only ten years old, she knew the name of the Hu family's ancestor.
But such a person couldn't even last a single round under the hands of his master. How powerful must his master be?

She clutched Zhou Xun's sleeve tightly, with awe and excitement in her eyes.

"Master, you...you are so awesome!" There was a hint of admiration in Yu Siyue's voice.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, patted her head gently, and said in a gentle tone:
"Siyue, remember, the path of cultivation is long and difficult, but as long as you persist, one day you will be able to reach this level."

Yu Siyue nodded vigorously, her eyes full of determination: "Master, I will definitely work hard to practice and will never let you down!"

Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the Hu family's servants.

When the servants saw Zhou Xun looking at them, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, fell to their knees and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Senior, please spare us! Senior, please spare us! We are only following orders and have no intention of offending you!"

Zhou Xun smiled faintly and said calmly: "Go back and tell the people of the Hu family that from now on, the Hu family is not allowed to set foot in Qinghefang. If I see someone from the Hu family here again, you will bear the consequences yourself."

When the attendants heard this, they nodded as if they had been pardoned. "Yes! Yes! Don't worry, senior. We will definitely pass on your message!"

After saying that, they quickly got up and crawled away from Yu's house.

……

After everyone left, Yu Xingjian stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Zhou Xun: "Thank you, Senior Li, for your help. Otherwise, my Yu family would not have escaped the disaster today."

Zhou Xun waved his hand and said in a gentle tone: "Master Yu, you don't have to be polite. Siyue is my disciple, so I will naturally not sit idly by."

Yu Xingjian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then he said with some concern:
"Senior Li, although the Hu family suffered a setback today, they are a big family in Qinghefang after all, and there are many forces behind them. If they retaliate in the future, I'm afraid..."

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, with a bit of confidence in his tone: "Master Yu, don't worry. If the Hu family knows what's best for them, they will naturally restrain themselves. If they don't know how to live or die, then let them disappear completely."

Yu Xingjian was shocked when he heard this, knowing that Zhou Xun was not lying. He nodded quickly, "With Senior Li here, there is nothing to worry about."

at this time,

Suddenly, the sky in the northeast suddenly became turbulent.
A black cloud occupied the entire sky, covering the whole sky.

"What is that!" Zhou Xun's attention was instantly drawn to that place.

He immediately made hand gestures and activated the "Spiritual Blue Light Pupil". Blue light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He then saw clearly,

Those so-called black clouds turned out to be tiny insects covering the sky and earth. Because there were too many of them, they formed black clouds.

Suddenly, there were terrified voices coming from the market.

"The Poison Cavern has rioted!"
