Chapter 208 Immortal Family
"Brother Yuheng, I haven't seen you for a few months. Are you all right?"
The cultivator in front of Zhan Yuheng is the backbone of the Li family. His name is Chengyang and his cultivation level is the ninth level of Qi Refining.
He looks like a middle-aged man, but he is actually over 70 years old.
"Thank you for your concern, I..."
The two of them exchanged greetings while looking behind each other.
There were several familiar faces, all of whom were in the late stage of Qi Refining.
It seems that the power they carry is almost the same, so there is no need to create any unnecessary complications.
The monks on both sides have their own thoughts, but their purpose of coming here is the same.
Half a month ago, a wandering cultivator passed by a big demon's lair and unexpectedly discovered that it was occupied by a small demon at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Naturally, he was not polite as he had a slightly higher level of cultivation. After driving away the little demon, he successfully obtained two first-grade top-quality spiritual medicines.
Not long after, the news that the great demon who had built his foundation mysteriously disappeared spread like wildfire after he commissioned someone to make an elixir in the market.
There were originally three spiritual medicines guarded by the big demon, but the second-grade medium-quality one was favored by Chen Yu and was already in the storage bag of the spiritual puppet.
The three immortal cultivation families were well-informed and immediately dispatched their late-stage Qi-refining cultivators to the scene.
The foundation-building ancestors were naturally very cautious. If the monster set up a trap, wouldn't they be walking into it?
Even if the monster really lost its life,
Once all of our forces are mobilized, the foundation-building monks from other families may not be able to resist taking action.
After weighing the pros and cons, they let the cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining in the clan take the lead, and one-sixth of the cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage go to investigate.
In fact, human cultivators have always had a zero-tolerance attitude towards the demon race that has condensed their inner elixir.
Although most of the monsters that possess inner elixirs are not as rare and gifted as humans' spiritual roots.
But it is also a real seed of the Golden Core Demon King, and it will cause a disaster when it grows up.
The big demon that disappeared this time was originally from the Flame Falcon clan. Its appearance changed a lot after its bloodline returned to its ancestral home.
When it first appeared a hundred years ago, it attracted the attention and sniping of three immortal cultivation families.
Later he fled into Yanchi Mountain, and when he came out he had become a great demon in the foundation-building stage.
Due to a moment of negligence, it became a big deal.
Although it could not defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, no one could stop it if it was determined to escape.
Even if they wanted to surround and kill them, they were afraid that other immortals would reap the benefits.
The matter of the great demon was left unresolved, and the three immortal clans all just muddled along.
However, the shadow of the Golden Core Demon King hangs over his head and is always a serious concern.
Now the great demon has reached the middle stage of foundation building, which is the same level as the ancestors of various families.
Because of his special bloodline and the blessing of the demon pill, his combat power is even stronger.
I didn't expect that the monster would suddenly disappear alive and dead, and the body was nowhere to be found. Life is so unpredictable.
There are a total of eleven known great monsters in the Luohun Mountains, five of which are hidden in the secret realm of Yanchi Mountain and never come out.
The three immortal cultivation families of the human race each have one person in the middle stage of foundation building, while the Fang family in the south has one more person in the early stage of foundation building.
In general, the demon race has more foundations than the human race, and the quality is slightly higher.
However, the demon race is a general term, and it is even more difficult for them to form alliances like the human race.
The two forces here are still balanced, with the human race having a slight advantage.
In the extremely faraway places like Keguo Territory, that is where the demon race reigns.
In the monster's lair, only a little bit of strong and wild aura remained.
Beside the cave entrance where the spiritual medicine was taken away by the wandering cultivator, there was no other clue except fresh soil.
The two groups of monks, who had found no clues, began to chat in harmony again.
"June 28th is the 300th birthday of my ancestor.
I believe you all already know this, so I won't say much. When the time comes, you must drink a few more cups with me."
The monks of the Zhan family nodded in response, and both parties left. However, they did not return directly to the fairy mountain of the clan.
After spending so much effort to organize the monks to go out, they naturally have to hunt some monsters and pick some spiritual herbs.
As for the monsters that had recently occupied this place, they also killed them together and distributed the spoils.
The leading cultivator from the Li family led everyone to a nearby hill.
This mountain is 3,200 feet high, with a flat terrain and a vast area.
There are many monsters and beasts living and breeding on it.
The monks of the Zhan family came to a valley where a river originated below and spiritual fish and monsters were lurking in it.
The cultivator from the Li family went west, and the cultivator from the Zhan family went east, and the two sides passed each other.
Although the Fang, Zhan, and Li families had their own secular dynasties for selecting immortal seedlings, they did not have fixed mountains and forests as their territory.
This is because there are many small Qi-refining families under his rule, which are intertwined and difficult to divide into camps.
Moreover, all the spiritual creatures in the mountains and forests are natural, and it depends on one's own ability to obtain them.
As descendants of three foundation-building families, the relationships between them vary in closeness and distance.
Families with better relationships can each send out a cultivator to form a team and go to the mountains together to hunt monsters.
If the relationship is average, they may fight to the death for some spiritual creatures.
When the cultivators of the Li family arrived at the mountainside, they found traces of monsters in a nine-foot-high cave.
Judging from the aura left behind by the monster, it is at least in the late stage of Qi Refining, and definitely not a Foundation Establishment monster.
The Li family sent eight cultivators this time, one of whom was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, three were at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and four were at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
As they approached the monster's territory, everyone held their breath and prepared for battle.
Not long after, the monster, noticing the unusual silence outside the cave, slowly emerged from the cave.
This is a huge black bear that just occupies the entire cave.
Li Chengyang seized the opportunity and controlled the flying sword to stab at the monster's head.
The black bear was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the flying sword, bleeding profusely.
The spiritual power on the flying sword continued to destroy the flesh and blood of the monster, but it could not penetrate any deeper.
This demon bear has a strong physique and extremely hard bones.
The peak Qi Refining realm was no less than that of the cultivator who made the move, allowing it to block the flying sword.
Seeing that he could not succeed in one strike, the Li family cultivator immediately changed his strategy and decided to let the monster bleed to death.
In just a split second, the black bear reacted and let out a long roar toward the sky, shaking the forest and mountains.
The other monks also rushed forward, ready to work together to kill the monster.
At this moment, another black bear with the same Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation level came out of the cave, only slightly smaller in size.
The monks were not afraid at all. Before taking action, they had judged from their experience that there were two monsters living here.
Although the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining was somewhat unexpected, it was still within an acceptable range.
The strength of cultivators at the same level varies. It is actually difficult to quantify how many cultivators at the eighth or seventh level that a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining can deal with at the same time.
Like the one in front of us, three people at the eighth level of Qi Refining and four people at the seventh level of Qi Refining can just barely hold on against the monster at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
But there is no immediate sign of defeat, which is a relatively normal situation.
Li Chengyang dealt with the injured monster at the cost of being hit by a palm from the monster bear, and then together with other tribesmen, he killed the remaining monsters.
Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground to recuperate and heal their wounds, but the breath of a cultivator could be heard from a hundred feet away.
It turned out that the members of the Zhan family were returning from hunting monsters, and were attracted by the fluctuations of the fighting here.
Everyone became more alert. If the other party had any bad intentions in this forest, they would not be able to wait for the family to come to support them in their current situation.
But the other party just looked at it from a distance and then left quickly.
When they were returning, a skinny cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining from the Zhan family team asked:
"Brother, I see that the fourth son of the Li family is seriously injured. Why don't you just take their spiritual medicine?"
Zhan Yuheng glanced at him sideways and said, "Are you sure you can keep him here, and can you guarantee that you won't send a message to the ancestor before he dies?"
The skinny monk said, "With my clan brother here, we are all in our prime and can definitely keep them all here.
If we send a message to our ancestor, the ancestor of our Zhan family will naturally support us.
It is common for monks in the mountains to kill people and steal treasures, and most of the time, this matter is left unresolved.
And my brother has eliminated a strong enemy for our Zhan family, and he will definitely be appreciated by the ancestor in the future."
Speaking of this, other tribesmen also showed regret on their faces.
After all, the four spiritual medicines obtained by the Li family just now were all top-grade first-grade, worth hundreds of spirit stones.
In addition, there must be other gains in their storage bags, which together are enough for each person present to receive more than 40 spirit stones.
Zhan Yuheng snorted coldly: "What powerful enemy do you want to eliminate? Are you good enough to defeat the Foundation Establishment Ancestor with just one slap?
No matter how fierce the fight between us in the Qi Refining Realm is, can it affect the outcome of the Foundation Establishment Realm?
The Li family's foundation-building ancestor is already three hundred years old this year, but there is no one in the family to succeed him.
According to the ancestor's guess, he would most likely not be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building, and would pass away within the next twenty years.
As long as the foundation is cut off, the sect behind him will send another immortal here to establish an immortal cultivation family.
At this moment of change, it is the opportunity for my Zhan family to seize the Li family's foundation.
If I were to make enemies with them now, the Zhan family monks would be targeted by the Li family when traveling in the future, and would be in fear and have difficulty in taking every step.
It is foolish to put oneself in danger just for the sake of momentary pleasure."
Having said that, the clan brother snorted heavily again, and the other cultivators said no more.
To be honest, the leading monk of the Li family is related to his granddaughter by marriage.
Although both parties are just minor characters without the qualifications to cultivate immortality, at least there is such a relationship between them.
He and his cousin in front of him just have the same surname, Zhan, and they are not related by blood at all.
They were born in different secular dynasties controlled by the Zhan family, thousands of miles apart.
The Zhan family is just a family of immortal cultivators that has been established for less than a thousand years. A thousand years ago, not all of them had the surname Zhan.
The Fang family lived farther away from here than the Zhan and Li families, but they also rushed to the scene to check three days later.
Naturally, there was no gain, but there was no doubt that all the cultivators in the entire Luohun Mountains breathed a sigh of relief.
