Cultivating a family of immortals

After speaking, Lin Feizi finally said:

"Cultivators seek the Dao of Heaven, but every step they take is fraught with peril. The path is full of twists and turns and is rugged. Yet, those who are in the midst of it are blinded by a single leaf and cannot see what the future holds."

"My only wish was for the prosperity of my family. Guan Yi's joining my sect was for the sake of the sect, and although he died a worthy death, it brought blessings to your Xu family. Now that I have fallen to this state, it is my own fault. After you kill me, please show mercy to the Lin family!"

The Xu family was already in tears, and as they listened to Guan Yi being refined into a blood pill and consumed, endless pain welled up in their hearts.

I never imagined that the sects in the cultivation world would do such a despicable thing!

As for whether Guan Yi was willing or not, the Xu family naturally knew.

Xu Changle asked, trembling:

"Besides you, are there any other members of the sect involved in this matter? Lin...Wanxing, are you aware of it?"

Lin Feizi shook his head and said, "I did it alone; no one else knew!"

"Haha, haha," Xu Wanghe stood up, hunched over, pounding his chest with his fists, his eyes filled with hatred as he stared at Lin Feizi. "Our Xu family will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly. If anyone is involved, I'll make them wish they were dead!"

As he spoke, he took the sickle from Sun Erzhu and, together with Xu Changle, slashed at Lin Feizi's face with the blade.

Lin Feizi's eyes were smashed, rendering him unable to see. He felt pain all over his body, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

As he lay dying, he murmured to himself:

"I don't know what kind of treasure the Xu family obtained, but it can actually generate spiritual roots out of thin air. With this, within a hundred years, the Xu family will become the number one cultivation family in Changkong Immortal Continent. I only regret that I didn't discover this sooner. Now that I am dead, only Lin Wan in the sect knows about the Xu family's foundation. I hope that someone in the family can find out as soon as possible, so as not to let the Xu family become too powerful and destroy my Lin family!"

As the last clump of flesh and blood lay on the ground, Lin Feizi perished completely.

Under the cover of night, the Xu family embraced and wept bitterly.

Sun Erzhu, standing to the side, also had tears in his eyes. The thought of never seeing a child like his own Dazhuang again filled him with sorrow.

The Daoist arts have harmed countless people.

Just then, the night sky was suddenly illuminated by an extremely bright light. When everyone looked up, they saw dozens of true forms of dragons flying towards the direction of the Mo Chuan River, carrying boundless spiritual energy. Their scales gleamed with a cold, bluish-black light in the bright light.

At the same time, several other figures arrived on swords.

"This is... Quick, there's no time to lose, we have to run!"

Xu Wanghe paused for a moment, then immediately made a decisive statement.

The group then led the villagers, not even having time to harvest the spiritual seedlings in the spiritual fields, and hurriedly headed towards Tea Horse Town.

………………

Before the Mo Chuan River, Xuan Wuchen and Ao Yan fought fiercely, evenly matched. Although Ao Yan managed to suppress his abdominal injury by gaining spiritual power through devouring cultivators, his foundation was too unstable, and he gradually became exhausted under the attacks of Xuan Wuchen's talismans and dharma forms.

"As expected, you possess the cultivation of a peak Purple Mansion realm cultivator, yet your spiritual energy is insufficient to unleash your true abilities. I am truly curious: who inflicted that wound on your abdomen, which could reduce your peak Purple Mansion realm cultivation to less than 30%!"

Xuan Wuchen was overjoyed at this moment. He kept forming Dao seals with his hands, and thousands of Dao techniques attacked Ao Yan. At the same time, he asked.

Ao Yanzhen's wounds had reopened, like a bottomless pit. No matter how much spiritual energy was poured in, it could only provide temporary relief. Moreover, he had also used the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, which greatly depleted his spiritual energy, causing him to gradually become unable to hold on.

"No, we must break through the past and establish anew! It's time to consume the [Bodhi Elixir]!"

After thinking it over, he made a hand seal and sent it towards a spot on the Mo Chuan River below.

Xuan Wuchen's eyes widened in shock. That incantation was clearly a [Summoning Technique]. Who was he going to summon?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xuan Wuchen, and he thought of the [Bodhi Liquid]!

It is said that this item is extremely magical and cannot be stored in a storage bag. Moreover, like some elixirs, it can only be stored in a jade bottle.

This dragon had already anticipated a great battle today and would never carry this item on its person, especially since it had nowhere to hide it after transforming into its true form.

Then there is only one best way, which is to place the [Bodhi Liquid] in a place he is familiar with. I had thought of this place before, so I dived into the river to search for it, but it was not in that cave.

"Does a cunning rabbit have three burrows?"

Xuan Wuchen chuckled.

"Do you think I'd just stand by and watch you swallow this in front of me?"

Ao Yan snorted coldly, "Do you think I haven't made any preparations in the past four hundred years?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Yan shouted loudly.

"Give me the treasure!"

The sound echoed over the Mochuan River, but there was no response.

Ao Yan's pupils constricted immediately. He quickly used his divine sense to examine the mark on the spirit beast's body and sensed that it was under the river, but had not come out after being summoned!

"You beast!"

Ao Yan was furious and flew back down into the river.

Xuan Wuchen hesitated for a moment, but did not stop them. Instead, he chose to follow them.

………………

Four hundred years ago.

The forest along the Mochuan River is home to many mythical creatures, such as willow-haired rats, weasels, spotted rabbits, and squirrels...

At that time, the spirit beasts lived a very comfortable life.

At the foot of Qingping Mountain, nestled among the forests along the riverbank, lie two small cultivation families, Haoran Immortal Sect and Chaoyang Immortal Sect. They do not usually come here to harm spirit beasts, even when they are at war.

The two families that cultivate immortality are the Zheng family and the Wang family. They already have Qi Refining cultivators in their families. On weekdays, they only hunt some mountain beasts or tigers and leopards with cultivation on Qingping Mountain to eat.

This is because the spiritual beasts in this area have very low cultivation levels. Most of them accidentally absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and a trace of spiritual energy was generated in their bodies. As a result, they gained intelligence and began to cultivate slowly, generally reaching the first level of the embryonic breathing stage.

Simply put, they are like ordinary wild beasts, looked down upon by immortals and dared not be hunted by mortals, living a very comfortable life.

Until that dragon with the cultivation level of Purple Mansion arrived in the Mo Chuan River, it killed all the spirit beasts in the river in just a few hundred days.

The low-level spirit beasts on the riverbank were all in danger and hid in their caves, afraid to come out.

One day, a dozen or so fish spirits, all with cultivation levels around the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, leaped up from the river. Once ashore, they began to hunt low-level spirit beasts in the forest. Among them were three squirrels, which were captured and forcibly dragged into the river.

The three squirrels and a group of mythical beasts trembled and crawled beneath the dragon.

The dragon's aura was weak, but the spiritual energy it emitted was like that of a god in the eyes of many spirit beasts. Coupled with the suppression of bloodlines, they couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.

The dragon is Ao Yan.

He captured the spirit beast only to gather information from the outside world.

The spirit beasts in the river, such as fish, shrimp, snails, and clams, are capable of cultivating the concept of "all due to fate," but their intelligence is pitifully low.

Ao Yan mostly used these spirit beasts as food.

Firstly, there were no usable spirit beasts, and secondly, there was a lack of spirit beasts that had gained intelligence. Therefore, Ao Yan ordered the fish spirit to go ashore to capture these spirit beasts on the shore.

These spirit beasts lived near the village, making it extremely convenient for them to gather information. Ao Yan then selected a spirit beast from among these spirit beasts to gather information for him.

His gaze fell on the three squirrels lying on the ground, their eyes lowered, not daring to look up at him.

"Do you three spirit beasts have names?"
