Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 77: The Aftermath of the War, Dividing the Liu Family

Although Qin Li was once only one step away from becoming a Jindan Zhenren, he had very little experience because he had been accepted as a disciple by his master Chi Lian Zhenren since he was a child.

Every step on her path of cultivation was arranged.

Apart from practicing, she hardly has to do anything.

She doesn't have to worry about resources, doesn't have to worry about danger, and doesn't need to socialize or make friends with anyone.

Unlike Liu Chengfeng, who came from a small family, it took a lot of effort and deception to form a pill.

Even a true disciple of the Jindan sect like Xie Lingshuang has experienced much more than her.

In such an environment, Qin Li's character of being indifferent, simple and stubborn was shaped.

Just like her future was ruined, her pill-forming process was destroyed, and there was no hope of forming a pill from now on, she did not feel much anger or resentment in her heart, but only felt guilty for her master's cultivation.

She chose to take revenge simply because she thought it was necessary.

Someone destroyed her Jindan and made her fail to live up to her master's expectations, so she should take revenge.

Even though her master actually abandoned her in the end, used her as a pawn, turned her into his own interests, and no longer pursued the destruction of his most valued disciple, Qin Li was still grateful.

Since the master can’t do anything.

Then she would take action on her own and seek revenge.

Including when they were chasing Master Feng Dan outside Liaoyuan Immortal City, a fake Dan Zhenren intercepted the fake pill sent by Liuli Sect to take Master Feng Dan, and it was not the work of Chilian Zhenren.

But Qin Li paid for it himself.

just now.

Lin Changyue risked his life to save her, and he also admitted that he liked her, so she should try hard and also "like" Lin Changyue.

Because apart from this, she couldn't think of any other way to repay.

She is no longer the favored daughter of heaven with unlimited potential and the future successor of Liaoyuan Fairy City.

……

"Fairy Qin, please keep today's events a secret for me and don't mention them to anyone else."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Qin Li, Lin Changyue had to put aside the question of "liking" for the time being and start talking about the business at hand.

Today he defeated the dignified Jindan cultivator Liu Chengfeng and made him flee in embarrassment. This matter must not be known to others.

Even if it was his clan members, Lin Changyue would not tell them.

"Yeah." Qin Li nodded seriously.

She made no oaths or promises.

But since Lin Changyue asked her not to spread the matter, she would not tell anyone and would keep it secret even if she died.

Lin Changyue did not doubt it when he saw this.

I have to say that although Fairy Qin's train of thought is strange, and she is obviously a great cultivator who almost reached the stage of Dan, she is even simpler than many cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining... But her character, which helps to keep the secret, also makes people feel at ease.

"But..." Qin Li hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you pretended to be my master's friend today. If Liu Chengfeng goes back and reports this to the Liuli Sect, they won't need to investigate to know there's something fishy going on."

Lin Changyue wondered, "Is your master, True Man Chi Lian, so unpopular that he can't even find a close friend among the fake pill cultivators?"

"It's not this reason. My master reached an agreement with them..." Qin Li hesitated to speak.

Seeing that she seemed to be hiding something, Lin Changyue immediately understood.

It seems that Qin Li's Dan formation was secretly sabotaged by someone, and there are complicated hidden stories behind this matter.

"It doesn't matter. Even if they know that the person who attacked you was not your master's friend, it's fine as long as they don't suspect me for the time being." Lin Changyue smiled and changed the subject.

Qin Li nodded. "That's right. No matter who comes, they won't doubt that it was you, Fellow Daoist Lin, who made the move. With the ninth level of Qi Refining, you possess a soul comparable to that of a Fake Dan Zhenren. I'm afraid there's no one else like you in the entire Yu Kingdom's cultivation world."

"It's just a coincidence, a coincidence." Lin Changyue said modestly.

Qin Li suddenly said, "It seems that I am most likely going to lose the bet between you and Fellow Daoist Lin."

She was referring to the bet between the two of them about whether Lin Changyue could successfully build his foundation.

"However, I had no intention of leaving the Lin family. So losing doesn't really matter." Qin Li said to himself.

She was trying so hard to fall in love with Lin Changyue that she naturally no longer planned to travel around the world.

……

In less than a month, the shocking battle outside Linjiafang City quickly fermented and spread.

Although the Lin Family Market is not big, there are still more than ten thousand independent cultivators. With so many cultivators, news will naturally spread quickly.

However, most people only had a vague understanding of this battle. Of the two combatants, they could only confirm that one was Liu Chengfeng, the Liu family's patriarch, who had recently achieved Jindan Zhenren status. As for the other, most casual cultivators were unaware. They only heard Lin Changyue mention "Liaoyuan Immortal City" and "Chilian Zhenren's disciple" during their conversation with Liu Chengfeng, but little else was known.

After all, Liaoyuan Immortal City is far away, and ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators simply cannot cross such a long distance, and are not aware of the major events that happened in Liaoyuan Immortal City three years ago.

So after the real news spread, various versions of the messages also spread among the people.

What about fighting over treasures? What about Liu Chengfeng having suffered a great loss in Liaoyuan Immortal City and now seeking revenge after reaching the Core Formation stage? What about the unexplained death of Liu Yunlong, the young master of the Liu family, and his connection to Liaoyuan Immortal City?

The most outrageous thing is that Liu Chengfeng and Chi Lian's current girlfriend turned from love to hate...

In short, there are all kinds of outrageous versions, which have set off a heated discussion in the territory of Xuanbing Palace, and the spectators who like to watch the fun have had a good time.

Only the top leaders of Xuanbing Palace and some foundation-building cultivators can guess some of the real inside stories.

The dispute between Liu Chengfeng and Liaoyuan Immortal City was most likely related to the destruction of the elixir of Qin Li, the beloved disciple of Chi Lian Zhenren, a few years ago.

But as to who this master was who defeated the strong with his fake elixir skills and severely injured Liu Chengfeng, who had the real elixir strength, forcing him to flee in panic, it is unknown.

Afterwards, I heard that the Xuanbing Palace sent elders to investigate.

Unfortunately, nothing was found and the case ended in a hasty manner.

However, this battle saved the Xuanbing Palace a lot of worries.

Because Liu Chengfeng was seriously injured and frightened, he didn't even dare to return to the Liu family's land. He fled to the Liuli Sect's territory overnight and only instructed the younger generations of the Liu family to pack up their own property and move the whole family away quickly!

Originally, Xuanbing Hall was still worried that the Liu family would cause trouble before leaving, create chaos, or take away too many resources.

Now the Liu family is fleeing like a stray dog. Not to mention taking more, many things that should be taken away have been left behind.

Less than two months after Liu Chengfeng's defeat, the Liu family had basically completed the inventory of their property and left in batches.

In this way, while the Xuanbing Palace felt at ease, several major foundation-building families bordering the Liu family's territory were like a pie in the sky. They were already sharpening their knives and began to occupy territory and grab resources.

Among them, the Lin family, whose influence has grown over the years, naturally wants to occupy the lion's share, including the Liu family's most lucrative industry, the Seven Star Island Market!

Just as Qin Li guessed, after the Liu family began to move, the rioting water monsters in Damengze calmed down not long after. They no longer attacked the wandering cultivators at will, and they did not actively attack the islands with protective formations.

Once the Liu family moves out completely, as long as someone takes over the Qixing Island Market and manages it well, it will be able to recover to its previous size in two to three years at most.

If the Lin family can take over the Seven Star Island Market, the family’s annual income will more than double!
With increased income, more talents can naturally be cultivated, making the family stronger.

However, it is not only the Lin family that is eyeing the fat piece of meat of the Seven Star Island, but also the two major foundation-building families.

For example, the Zheng family, where Lin Changyue’s wife Zheng Weiwei’s family comes from, was also targeted.

The Zheng family is actually not weak, with two people in the family building their foundation.

In terms of the number of foundation-building cultivators alone, it currently surpasses the Lin family. After all, the Lin family only has one true foundation-building cultivator, Lin Changgeng.

However, with the addition of Lin Changyue, a second-level talisman master, and Chen Ping, a puppeteer who possesses puppets comparable to second-level mid-grade puppets, the Zheng family is far inferior.

Otherwise, the Zheng family would not have allowed Zheng Weiwei, who possessed a sixth-grade spiritual root, to marry Lin Changyue.

They used to have a friendly relationship and were even relatives by marriage, but that didn't affect their current secret rivalry for the ownership of the Seven Star Island, and they refused to give in at all.

In addition to the Zheng family, there is also the You family.

The You family also has two foundation-building cultivators, one of whom is in the middle stage of foundation-building cultivation. They are determined to seize the market on the Seven Star Island.

As for the other clans that only had one weak foundation-building clan member, they were very self-aware and did not dare to dream of seizing the market on the Seven Star Island. They only dared to think about the Liu family's other second-rate industries.

Finally, two months after the Liu family completely moved out, the Lin family won the three-way competition and successfully took over the Qixing Island Market.

In addition to the fact that the Lin family has the second-level talisman master Lin Changyue, an advantage that no other family can match, another important reason is that not long ago, the Lin family's eldest elder Lin Daoyu appeared in Damengze with a brand new second-level puppet and several second-level talismans, and easily killed three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

This means that in addition to Lin Changyue, the puppeteer Chen Ping has also successfully advanced to the second level!

A person with two second-level skills directly makes the Lin family's strength exceed the standard.

After several rounds of open and covert fighting, the Zheng family, the weakest of the three families, was the first to withdraw from the competition.

Not only did the Zheng family withdraw, but they were also shameless enough to use Zheng Weiwei's connections to send gifts to the Lin family in an effort to mend relations.

It means that the two families should continue to cooperate more and help each other in the future and remain "relatives".

Seeing his wife Zheng Weiwei's nervous look when she was whispering in his ear, Lin Changyue chose to accept the Zheng family's goodwill.

Zheng Weiwei is quite sensible. When the Lin family and the Zheng family were fighting for power some time ago, she remained silent and did not say anything good for the Zheng family, let alone say any "nonsense" such as asking them not to compete with the Zheng family for her sake.

Now that the Zheng family wanted to mend the relationship between the two families, Zheng Weiwei chose to speak well of her family, so Lin Changyue did not make things difficult for his wife.

After all, Zheng Weiwei has become pregnant again recently.
