The destruction of the Lin Family might just be a simple phrase, but it represents the crude reality of the cultivation world.
Every day, cultivators fall, and cultivation families decline or perish.
A significant proportion of these losses can be attributed to generations-old family feuds.
The two small cultivation clans of the Lin and Su Families were destined from the moment a Spirit Vein was discovered on Cang Mountain, to battle until only one remained in River City to rule.
If the Lin Family had managed to defeat the Su Family previously, or even repel them from the Spirit Vein, then the Lin Family would have been in control.
As long as they could fully harness the blessings brought by the Spirit Vein and gave rise to a cultivator achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Su Family would be the ones facing their demise.
However.
Now, the Su Family has successfully defended the Spirit Vein, and in a stroke of good fortune, made a substantial sacrifice to secure a Foundation Establishment Pill.
This allowed the Fifth Elder, Su Bin, to successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This single cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm caused the delicate power balance between the Su Family and the Lin Family to shatter.
The Su Family ascended a level.
When they turn their attention back on the Lin Family, squashing them would be as easy as crushing an ant.
“In the future, the Su Family can be referred to as the Su Family of River City. With the Lin Family gone, the Su Family controls a Grade-one Spirit Vein, a medicinal garden, a spiritual lake, and a market for elixirs – these four assets.” Su Yu counted the pillars of his family’s wealth; it was a substantial fortune. More than enough to push the Su Family to a higher level of power and strength.
As long as they proceed cautiously, or rather steadily, the Su Family wouldn’t need to worry about resources for the next twenty to thirty years. They could simply focus on expansion.
A Grade-one Spirit Vein could produce over a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones a year.
The annual yield of the medicinal garden was around a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.
The Elixir Shop performed slightly better; it could probably produce two to three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.
If the Moonlight Fish in the Spiritual Lake reproduced abundantly, it could yield two thousand low-grade Spirit Stones a year.
Added up, this could amount to a total of six to seven thousand low-grade Spirit Stones a year.
After deducting the costs of maintaining the family, they should be able to save one to two thousand Spirit Stones per year, right?
“As the owner of the Elixir Shop, I could use top-grade elixirs to boost sales, allowing the family to earn a few hundred more Spirit Stones a year.” Su Yu calculated in his mind.
The sight of so many Spirit Stones caused Su Yu’s eyes to sparkle with excitement.
He hoped that in the coming years, the family could cultivate one or two more individuals at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This way, in the Yunjian Sect, the Su Family could be considered a powerful cultivating family. And he would have the assurance of greater security.
The news of the Lin Family’s destruction had Su Yun hosting banquets in the Elixir Shop for three consecutive days. He even got drunk once, laughing and crying whilst recalling old memories with his disciple, Su Yu.
Su Yun was from the same generation as Su Yu’s grandfather in the family.
Su Yun’s father, and many other elders, had either been severely injured, left disabled, or even lost their lives at the hands of the Lin Family during his younger days.
These accumulated blood debts formed the deep-seated feud between the elders of the Su Family and the Lin Family, a feud that could also be termed as a death feud.
“More than two decades ago, our Su Family almost went extinct at the hands of the Lin Family. Thankfully, the old family head managed to kill that old beast of the Lin Family and severely injured a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation stage.”
“What fate! Who would have thought, now the Lin Family was destroyed by our
Su Family.”
Having drunk too much, Su Yun’s speech was a bit slurred.
However, Su Yu could see that his master was very happy, happier than he had ever been.
Seeing Su Yun so happy, Su Yu was happy too.
Spiritual Wine has an extremely potent aftereffect. When Su Yun sobered up the following day, he crept up to Su Yu, his head aching and eyes swollen, and asked in a low voice: “I didn’t embarrass myself yesterday, did I?”
Su Yu shook his head: “No.”
However, the half-foot-tall, date-red Ground Fire Ape at his feet began shaking its head vigorously and chattering, gesticulating wildly while laughing and crying, effectively recreating Su Yun’s drunken antics from the previous day.
It seemed to be mocking Su Yun for his embarrassment.
Su Yun’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth to Su Yu, “Its spiritual intelligence is not high, right? So, it doesn’t know anything, right?”
The land fire monkey felt dissatisfied and immediately climbed onto Su Yu’s shoulder, with hands on hips and fiery eyes glaring at Su Yun. It mumbled a few words to Su Yun.
However, Su Yun couldn’t understand anything it said.
Only after Su Yu gave it a bottle of Hundred Beast Pills, did it mollify.
When Su Yun sobered up, he returned to his original state, though he wasn’t as cold as before. He delegated most of the matters related to the Pill Pavilion to su Yu.
Usually, he only refined first-class superior pills; he entrusted Su Yu with all other pills and matters.
The reason being, Su Yu’s refinement of first-class mid-range and low-grade pills was much better than his own.
The ever-improving quality of the pills from the Su Family’s Pill Pavilion attracted more customers.
Chen Family of West Water.
Above a waterway, Su Qingyi, enraged, slammed down a golden seal transformed into a small hill. The Qi training realm seven enemy, already somewhat confused, was bombarded from the sky and smashed into the ground on the opposite bank.
When Su Qingyi lifted the golden seal, that guy’s body had turned into a meat patty.
Seeing this, Su Qingyi’s tense mind finally relaxed.
“Pu-chi.”
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, with his body on the verge of collapse. He carefully landed on the ground, took out a first-rank mid-range supreme-grade healing pill given by Su Yu from his Qiankun Bag, and swallowed it.
Not bothering to heal, he went to the opposite bank, skillfully searched the corpse, and took the man’s Qiankun Bag and a defensive magic artifact.
Afterward, he hurriedly found Chen Sisi, who had fainted on the ground, picked her up, and rushed back to the Chen Family.
The people they met were from the Bai Family of Maple City.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had some cards up his sleeve, that Chen Sisi was not weak, and had great things like the Soul-Bewildering Liquid, they might not have survived this time.
Half an hour later.
A group of people found this place and saw the three people who were already dead, anger surged within them.
“Not only did they fail to kill Chen Sisi, but they were also counter-killed? Such wastes!”
“That Chen Sisi was not alone. There seemed to be another male cultivator from outside! ”
“Judging from the traces, it should be because of that outsider!”
“This is a death wish, daring to kill the people of my Bai Family?! Find out who he is!”
The men glared hatefully towards the Chen Family, took the remains of the three family members, and left.
At the same time, several guests arrived at the Bai Family of Maple City.
To deal with the Chen Family and for the Purple Gold Sand Mine, the Bai Family had already paid a great price.
After staying at the Chen family for more than a month and taking care of the seriously injured Chen Sisi, Su Qingyi received a piece of news that made him overjoyed.
He looked at Chen Sisi beside him, pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and went to find the family head of the Chen clan.
Cloud Mountain Market.
The Cloud Mountain Market has not been peaceful recently. Bandit cultivators sporadically appeared, killing cultivators or merchants coming and going from the market. Although the Yunjian Sect had dispatched more disciples and fighters to pursue the bandits, the symptoms did not hit the root cause. Several merchants’ goods being looted and over a dozen cultivators being killed on their way to and from the market had caused fear among the people in the market.
It has been a year since the last auction, but instead of decreasing, the number of bandit cultivators seemed to have increased.
The people in the market could feel a strange atmosphere growing and a sense of nervousness looming over them.
Tian Shuge.
Seeing Su Yu’s arrival, the old man behind the counter’s eyes lit up, and he called out in greeting, “Friend Su is here? What would vou like this time? We just got a batch of superb ancient jade boxes, definitely from good places.. There could be a huge opportunity waiting for you inside, do you want to open a few?”
