Cultivating immortality begins with discerning the secrets of heaven.

Chapter 61 The Liu Family Incident

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the insect garden that Lin Hongye and Lin Yun have collaborated on has finally been initially built.

On the hillside they had chosen, two houses rose up. The larger wooden house was a beehive, while the smaller one below was where Lin Yun would live and cultivate in the future.

A spirit flower garden was also built, with more than a dozen low-level spirit flowers transplanted into it, all of which were fire-attribute spirit flowers, and many spirit flower seeds were also buried in the soil.

The mulberry trees transplanted into the silkworm forest are bitter mulberry trees, which are low-grade spiritual mulberry trees and not very valuable. In the territory of the sect's fourth-grade spiritual vein, the survival rate of transplanted trees is as high as 80%.

The only problem was that Lin Hongye only found the Fire Spirit Bee, but she didn't even see a trace of the Golden Silkworm.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Building this insect garden has practically emptied my savings."

"It seems that I really have no choice but to take the position of elder in the Hall of Punishments."

Lin Hongye sighed. She had only just established her foundation, so her wealth was naturally incomparable to that of other veteran foundation-establishing elders.

Even with the help of their family, their foundation is still too shallow.

During this period, she frequently purchased spirit insects and spirit plants in Taiyuan Immortal City, which indeed almost emptied her savings.

"Hmm, with just these fire spirit insects, we should be able to recoup our costs in two or three years." Lin Yun calculated in his mind and was secretly amazed that the cost of raising spirit insects was even greater than he had imagined.

"As for the Golden Silkworm, that depends on fate. If you, my elder sister, can become an elder of punishments, you can also pay more attention to relevant information in the Immortal City in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Hongye nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, the position of Elder of Punishments will most likely fall to me."

"With the support of the deputy peak master and Elder Meng, it's not a difficult task."

After saying this, Lin Hongye handed Lin Yun a token.

"With this token, you may freely enter and exit the Insect Garden without violating any restrictions."

"I have also set up an array in my cave to draw in the earth fire. If you need to refine weapons, you can use this token to enter my cave."

,

Such extensive privileges!

Lin Yun was slightly startled and carefully put the token away.

It's clear that Lin Hongye is already grooming him to be her confidant.

  

"Thank you so much, Sister Hongye!"

'

"By the way, how has Chen Guan been doing lately?" Lin Hongye asked the question that she was most concerned about.

Lin Yun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know. Chen Guan has been extremely low-key since he joined the sect, as if he doesn't exist."

"I guess he's been staying on Hundred Refinement Peak the whole time, and besides cultivating, he's been refining weapons."

In fact, he did take a few spare moments to specifically use the Book of Insight to look at Chen Guan's intelligence.

This guy has already entered the late stage of Qi Refining, and his cultivation speed is astonishing.

However, this news was not spread, which is probably related to Chen Guan's consistently low-key approach.

"I see... Do you think I can suppress it with my current Foundation Establishment cultivation level?" Lin Hongye murmured, her narrow eyes squinting.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he quickly advised, "I think it's best not to take the risk."

""

"First of all, this is within the sect. If this is exposed, the crime of harming fellow disciples is quite serious."

"Secondly, since Chen Guan was once a Core Formation stage cultivator, how could he not have some trump cards up his sleeve?"

"If he has some second-tier or even third-tier talismans on him, then things could get complicated."

Lin Hongye chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yun, I was just saying it casually. Since this person is so keen on keeping a low profile, let's do as he wishes."

"We can simply maintain a normal relationship with him."

,

After saying this, Lin Hongye returned to her cave.

Lin Yun wandered around the newly built insect garden before finally entering the beehive.

The fire bees inside were very alert and immediately became hostile as soon as he entered.

But Lin Yun was prepared. During this time, he had crafted a simple beekeeping helmet for himself based on the records in the beekeeping manual.

After he put on the crimson helmet, the fire bees in the hive quieted down.

"These are all fire spirit bees that have not yet recognized a master. Now we'll see how many queen bees will be born."

""

One queen bee corresponds to one hive, and each hive is the source of Fire Spirit Honey.

This Fire Spirit Honey is highly effective; for Qi Refining cultivators who practice fire-based techniques, it can even surpass the effects of elixirs.

If you were to take it to the market or Taiyuan Immortal City to sell, you could definitely get a pretty good price.

After all, the industry of raising spirit insects is relatively niche, and there is only one family in the entire Cangxuan Southern Region that makes a living by raising spirit insects.

"Once the queen bee is born, we can continue to expand the scale. This beehive is large enough to hold fifteen beehives."

"As for the food problem for these fire bees, we need to expand the size of the flower nursery."

Looking at the swarms of red bees flitting around inside the beehive, Lin Yun silently withdrew and returned to his own house.

Duanyun Ridge, Liu Family of Baihe Peak.

A powerful aura surged forth, but for some reason, it suddenly subsided.

To outsiders, it looked as if he had passed away peacefully.

Instantly, many of the Liu family cultivators showed signs of panic.

"Was that fluctuation just now the aura of our ancestor?"

"Ancestor...could he have passed away peacefully?"

'

"But why did he pass away so quickly, clearly..."

"Didn't they say that the ancestor still had several years to live? Why did it pass so quickly?!"

""

Soon, figures flew out one after another, the direct descendants of the Liu family, as well as elders in the late stage of Qi Refining, instantly sealing off the entire family.

"Activate the White Crane Soaring Cloud Formation!"

Soon, a dazzling spiritual light emanated from the entire Liu family's mountain gate. This was a second-tier low-grade formation with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

In the air, one after another, illusory white cranes danced beneath the clouds, radiating a striking luster.

"From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the family compound, not even direct descendants!"

A middle-aged cultivator wearing a Taoist robe embroidered with silver crane patterns flew into the air, his loud voice reverberating throughout the Liu family's ancestral land.

Upon witnessing this scene, many people turned slightly pale, and the tension in their eyes intensified.

The fact that the direct line cultivators and the head of the family looked so alarmed made them feel very uneasy.

After all, the cultivation world of Duan Yun Ridge is currently rife with undercurrents, and it can be said that they are all targeting the Liu family.

But how long can the clan protection formation be kept open?

This is not a long-term solution.

Some of the rogue cultivators who had already married into the Liu family started packing their bags, contemplating escaping.
