Immortality: Starting with the Fruit of Taiyin

This seemingly ridiculous act appeared absurd, but upon reflection, Wang Xuan couldn't help but think to himself, "Brilliant!"

"The conflict between Han and Huang is likely backed by a Core Formation power, and it is even very likely that it is the Xuanfu Lu clan."

"Why did the Han family initially choose the Nanhua Sect as their backer, and now the sect has been destroyed?"

"But under these circumstances, facing the Lu family's covert suppression, if I were Han Changming, I certainly wouldn't choose direct resistance, but rather a roundabout way to achieve my goal."

"In this case, this seemingly flawed 'pretending to be fat' is actually a cleverly crafted 'playing the victim' act."

"As a newly established family, displaying its strength will only make people wary of its potential."

"Now Han Changming is doing the opposite, using his own 'weakness' to highlight the 'strength' of the old family, which is his true purpose..."

Such a small welcoming ceremony contains so much thought and effort.

Wang Xuan felt even more respect for this Han family Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he couldn't help but reaffirm his previous plan.

The Han family certainly hadn't given up on him; they just changed their approach from force to appeasement.

However, things change and there is never a fixed rule.

If the other party discovers that a direct approach is more cost-effective, or if they sense that he is becoming uncontrollable, they may change their mind at any time.

Fortunately, Wang Xuan's response was simply to not respond at all.

Before Xiaoqing advances to the second rank, she doesn't leave Baihe Market.

The second-tier grand formation will automatically sense the fighting fluctuations within the market and work with the law enforcement team to suppress any cultivators who dare to cause trouble.

As long as Wang Xuan stays here obediently, no matter what methods he uses, he can't do anything to me...

"Look, my lord!"

Just as he was pondering, Han Li's voice came from behind him, and Wang Xuan immediately looked up into the distance.

First, a small black dot appeared on the horizon, then it quickly grew larger and larger, eventually revealing a huge ship.

Parting the sea of ​​clouds, carrying the wind and clouds.

Despite its enormous size, its flight speed surpasses that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This is an extremely expensive large-scale composite magic artifact, much more expensive than a pill cauldron of the same level.

At the very front of the spirit boat, Wang Xuan could vaguely see several figures.

"A Foundation Establishment guest elder from another clan, a Foundation Establishment member from a collateral branch of our clan, and Lu Qingyi, a talisman-wielding genius from the Lu clan... wait, why is he here too?"

An elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged woman.

However, despite their profound cultivation, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators were only positioned to the left and right.

Between the two, slightly forward, stood a bright-eyed, charming girl in a yellow dress, leaning slightly forward with her hands behind her back and a faint smile on her face.

However, Wang Xuan was not fooled by appearances. He had heard Han Li say that this man was not someone easy to talk to.

Within the Lu family, Lu Qingyi once broke the leg of a genius with a low-grade spiritual root due to a simple quarrel.

Although this is just a minor injury for a cultivator who will recover quickly, it also reveals his arrogant personality.

As for being given a minor punishment as a warning and sent to Baihefang Market to hone his skills for a few years, while also dealing with the disputes between the two families, that was only to be expected.

Of course, this has little to do with Wang Xuan.

He was just there to get to know people, so he wouldn't be confused about who they were when he met them in the future... However, among the group of figures following behind the three of them, he unexpectedly spotted Yang Yunzhi.

He was following behind a woman of average appearance, and judging from their clothes, the two seemed to be married.

"After all the back and forth, did you finally compromise?"

"I wonder if he managed to get that Foundation Establishment Pill when the contract was signed."

Wang Xuan shook his head slightly and smiled it off.

I'm just an extra here today.

Whether it's the Han family, the Huang family, or the Lu family, everyone has their own role to play, but this is not his stage.

He just wanted to finish all these miscellaneous things as soon as possible, return to the alchemy room, and advance to the first-level superior alchemist.

"The royal army."

"Um?"

Do you think our Han family has a chance to become a large family like the Lu family in the future?

Wang Xuan was not in a state of ease like him.

Looking at the magnificent second-tier high-grade spirit boat, Han Li couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"...As far as I remember, your parents passed away when you were very young."

After a moment's thought, Wang Xuan stood at the edge of the group and casually pointed out Han Li's predicament.

"Even the opportunity to become an alchemy apprentice is because your alchemy talent is the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Han family."

"Even if you were second, it might not be your turn... After all, you are only slightly stronger than Han Dao and Han Bo, not much stronger."

"Even if the Han family becomes a Core Formation family, what meaning would it mean to you?"

He asked casually, just as Wang Xuan had said.

The more a family establishes itself on blood ties, the more it cares about the closeness or distance of those blood relatives.

If someone is a genius with a precipitous lead, they might not be affected much.

There are countless examples of how, when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

However, if everyone has a top-grade spiritual root, and you have 40 points while I have 36 or 7, then whoever enjoys more resources will depend entirely on whose parents have higher status and stronger cultivation.

Like Han Li, although her talent for alchemy was slightly stronger than the other two apprentices, they had the resources provided by their parents and grandparents, while she only had the resources of her family.

If one were not more diligent and frequently sought guidance, one's progress in alchemy would likely not have matched that of the latter.

So Wang Xuan really didn't expect that she had such a deep sense of family.

"But Master Wang, if the clan becomes powerful, then every member of the clan will benefit, right?"

Biting his lip gently, Han Li couldn't help but retort:

"Even my two older cousins ​​benefited from our parents' legacy, rather than from any favoritism within the family..."

"Yeah?"

With a slight smile, Wang Xuan remembered that Han Li had once said that her father actually had the talent of a mid-grade spiritual root, and breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining would not be a problem.

However, seven or eight years ago, he died during the Han clan's establishment process due to the secret probing of other Foundation Establishment families.

Wang Xuan was unaware of the internal compensation system of the Han family.

But no matter how you look at it, Han Li doesn't seem very wealthy. It just goes to show that the Han family's education in loyalty is quite effective… Without going into too much of other people's private affairs, Wang Xuan said with a smile:

Let's just say that's how it is.

"However, for families that specialize in Core Formation, the most important thing is Core Formation itself; the family's status comes second."

"With the destruction of the three clans and two families of the Chen Kingdom, a total of seven third-tier spiritual veins have been left vacant."

"Even if the original forces divide it into three or four parts, considering the checks and balances of the Nascent Soul forces, theoretically three or four new Core Formation forces can rise up. So whether the Han family can reach this point depends on whether you can produce a True Person."

"Master...Lord Wangshi, do you think our Han family has a chance?"

With a look of longing in his eyes, Han Li couldn't help but ask quietly.

"Well..."

Wang Xuan shrugged and said with a smile.

"My chances of reaching the Core Formation stage are probably about the same as what the Han family thinks."

It's difficult for independent cultivators to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, but it's even more difficult for small families to achieve the Core Formation stage.

Just like in the eyes of the Han family, Wang Xuan, who had become a rogue cultivator, even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage was a luxury.

In his eyes, if the Han family wants to produce a true master, they can probably only pray to the heavens.
