A public notice was posted seeking a wife, and a female saint from the Immortal Sect was found.

After Liu Can finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the secret room. Given such an unexpected incident, Liu Can dared not act rashly against the Chen family, but would they dare?

Destroying the Chen family would be effortless for the three of them. The real problem was that destroying the Chen family would inevitably attract the attention of the Zidan Sect. If it drew out Ye Zongnan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be a very troublesome matter.

The current plan, with the Zhao family annexing the other four families, is for the sake of stability, so that the capture of the earth vein spirit pupa will not attract outside attention.

Therefore, if destroying the Chen family would attract even more attention, then the Chen family clearly cannot be destroyed.

Ultimately, whether it was Li Hong, Liu Can, or Zhao Dezhi who was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the Earth Vein Spirit Cocoon was far too precious.

They are so precious that they cannot tolerate any accidents.

After a moment of silence, Liu Can finally spoke up: "The Chen family is blocking our way, and we will have to wipe them out sooner or later. However, according to what Fellow Daoist Li just said, it will still take about eight months for the earth vein spirit pupa to condense. If that's the case, then we might as well not rush to deal with the Chen family."

"Eight months is enough time for anything to happen. The Chen family may not be able to keep the sect leader's favor forever. In addition, if the sect leader decides to go into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core stage during this period, that will also be our opportunity. If the Chen family is destroyed by then, the sect leader will be in seclusion and there is no way he will come out of seclusion because of such a small matter."

Since we don't want any unexpected events, we can only take a long-term approach; being impatient and impulsive will only ruin things.

Upon hearing this, Li Hong pondered for a moment and finally nodded, saying, "You're right. Since the Chen family has caused this unexpected incident, we should proceed slowly and steadily, without rushing things."

After saying this, Li Hong's cold eyes suddenly fixed on Liu Can, and he continued, "However, Fellow Daoist Liu, let me remind you, with the Earth Vein Spirit Cocoon, both of us can successfully form our cores within a month. Therefore, neither of us can afford to make any more mistakes."

Liu Can immediately nodded and said, "The Chen family incident was just an accident; it's impossible for it to happen again."

Then, Liu Can looked at Zhao Dezhi and said, "Besides the Chen family, when does the Zhao family plan to take action against the other three families?"

The Chen family is temporarily untouchable, but the other three families don't have the same capabilities as the Chen family.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dezhi quickly cupped his hands to Liu Can and said, "Sect Leader Liu, the Zhao family will make its move within half a month and swallow up the other three families. It will be an easy matter. Please rest assured, Sect Leader Liu, there will be no surprises."

Liu Can nodded, thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Good things often come with difficulties. I thought everything would go smoothly, but then the Chen family came along and became an eyesore. It's quite unpleasant. If we get the chance, we must eliminate the entire Chen family. Otherwise, I will never feel at ease."

Li Hong nodded in agreement and said, "In the path of cultivation, one's thoughts must be clear, otherwise it is easy to breed inner demons. I have heard Zhi mention the situation of the other four families before. The Chen family is clearly the weakest, but it has become a problem. As Fellow Daoist Liu said, if there is an opportunity later, I will not be able to get over it until I slaughter the entire Chen family."

If a cultivator of equal or even greater strength were to suddenly block their path, they wouldn't be so distraught.

But the fact that the Chen family was so weak that they could be wiped out with a wave of their hand made it hard for them to accept.

Upon hearing their words, Zhao Dezhi's heart stirred, and he quickly said, "Chen Yi, the head of the Chen family, is only twenty-two years old. He is just an ignorant and arrogant little cultivator, and he is also irritable and easily angered. He is not worth mentioning."

"However, it is quite unreasonable that they could suddenly produce a pill formula that even Sect Master Ye treasures."

"Since we can't slaughter the Chen family immediately, I can go to the Chen family first to check on their situation and find out their strength and weaknesses."

Zhao Dezhi naturally knew Chen Yi; in fact, he was quite familiar with not only Chen Yi but also the entire Chen family.

Therefore, since the Chen family had produced such a precious prescription, it was worth the trip.

He dared not touch the Chen family in the short term, but there would be a time to do so. He felt it was necessary to probe the Chen family's strength and weaknesses first.

At least investigate where the Chen family obtained the prescription they presented.

"Indeed, the pill formula is extremely valuable, which is a huge point of suspicion. There may be something about the Chen family that we don't know. It would be a good choice for Dezhi to make a trip to the Chen family." Liu Can immediately agreed.

Li Hong thought for a moment and nodded.

…………

After cultivating for a day and a night, Chen Yi finally stepped out of his room. He checked the system panel and was quite satisfied with his cultivation progress.

[Realm Level: Qi Refining Stage 4 (263/400)]

He had enough pills on hand, so he no longer needed to be frugal in his cultivation.

He cultivated twice in one day and one night, both times using Spirit Condensation Pills, resulting in rapid improvement.

"Taking pills to cultivate once can increase my skill level by forty points. If I cultivate four more times, I will be able to break through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage."

In the past few days, if it weren't for the outbreak of the family crisis, he should have already broken through. However, cultivators are just like ordinary people, and they will also encounter things that need to be worried about. Occasionally, they will be disturbed by trivial matters during their cultivation, which is unavoidable.

Even the deputy sect leader of the Purple Pill Sect has a few eyesores like the head of the sect affairs hall. In the end, as long as a cultivator is alive, he can't devote himself to cultivation.

In fact, cultivators have to fight for more than ordinary people throughout their lives, a point that Li Changqing had already told him before.

Shaking his head, Chen Yi stopped thinking about these things and glanced at the system panel again.

Rainmaking Technique: Beginner (0/50)

After reading this magical text, the system panel now displays the progress of the cultivation.

Chen Yi took a deep breath, clearing his mind of all distractions, and prepared to begin practicing the technique. Although it was not very useful, it was still a technique, and once mastered, it would not be completely useless.

Having something is better than not having one.

"Patriarch, the heads of the Ning and Zhang families have arrived in person, bringing many clansmen with them. They look very aggressive and their intentions are not good." Liu Shen suddenly rushed over and immediately reported to Chen Yi.

However, with the heads of both families present, Liu Shen appeared quite calm this time. He already knew that his family was under the protection of the Purple Pill Sect, and that the sect leader's granddaughter was currently living in the Chen family. He didn't think he should be nervous.

As the saying goes, "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation." To the Chen family at this time, the Ning and Zhang families were no longer significant, at least not for the next year.

Chen Yi chuckled upon hearing this and said, "This family is quite trustworthy. They said they would come in three days, and they really have. Steward Liu, go and invite Miss Ye over. We'll give the Ning and Zhang family heads a proper welcome."

Liu Shen was even more excited than Chen Yi, and quickly nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go invite Miss Ye right away. This time, let the heads of the Ning and Zhang families taste what it's like to be bullied by others."

The Chen family has suffered enough from these two families' humiliation for too long, and this time they can finally get their revenge.
