“It’s just that there are indeed more people targeting the Li family.”
“According to the information Qian’er gathered, there are at least two Foundation-building Masters openly targeting the Li family, all of whom are enemies of the Li family from Eight-vein Immortal City.”
“If you count those who have not been discovered, it’s not surprising that there are one or two more Foundation-building Masters.”
“With so many Foundation-building Masters taking action, this Li family is indeed in trouble this time.”
“If Master intends to get involved, please be extremely cautious.”
“Su Qian.”
Looking at the lines of text on the paper in his hand, He Song immediately learned of the current situation of the Li family.
This Li family was a Foundation Establishment Clan.
They had many enemies in the Eight-vein Immortal City.
Their family’s ancestor’s lifespan is running out, and there was no second Foundation-building Master born within the family.
As a result, they want to leave this place, only to have their plan exposed by someone unknown.
Since then, the Li family has naturally been targeted by a group of Foundation -building Masters.
The lifespan of the guardian Foundation-building Master of the Li family is running out, and he probably has only a few years, or at most a decade, left to live.
Under such circumstances, the Li family has become a piece of fat meat that anyone can take a bite of.
Naturally, the number of Foundation-building Masters attracted also increased.
Presumably, any Foundation-building Masters in need of resources won’t want to miss out on this feast.
Even if they can’t get the lion’s share, taking some leftovers is still better than having nothing at all, right?
Although He Song did not know if the Li family was really where Meng Guan’s opportunity lay, after hearing what Su Qian said,
He found that there were just a few more Foundation-building Masters targeting the Li family, so his original thoughts naturally dissipated.
Originally,
He Song thought that if there were any secrets, he could inform Meng Guan so that he could be prepared and not sink his boat in a gutter.
But now, there are just more people competing for the opportunity.
Given Meng Guan’s title as Master Duan Hun and his Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation,
This level of danger may not even be a concern for him.
In that case, He Song naturally extinguished the thought of offering a reminder.
Putting away the paper in his hand, He Song headed to the Elixir Refinement Room.
The Eight-vein Immortal City is far, far away from He Song’s Heaven Power Immortal City.
Even if many Foundation-building Masters were fighting in the Eight-vein Immortal City, their life and death had nothing to do with He Song.
Moreover, whether Meng Guan’s opportunity is the same as the resources Su Qian mentioned is still a question.
He Song did not ask further.
Realizing that he didn’t need to pass on a message, He Song quickly immersed nlmselt In renmng aetoxlncatlon elixirs agam.
As time went by,
He Song became more and more experienced in refining detoxification elixirs.
The success rate of refining detoxification elixirs also kept increasing.
However,
In the following months,
He Song learned about some events in Eight-vein Immortal City from Meng Guan and Su Qian.
A month later,
He Song received news,
The Li family of Eight-vein Immortal City was targeted when their plan to leave the Eight-vein Immortal City and move to an Immortal Pavilion was exposed. All the family members were being watched.
Since the news had spread, every person from the Li family, regardless of their identity,
Even a few years old child may carry a large amount of resources and treasures on them.
The Li family’s intention to leave the Eight-vein Immortal City has been exposed,
As a result, it is almost impossible to preserve all of the Li family’s assets.
In this case, transporting family resources in batches and then regrouping them later is an idea that flashes through many cultivators’ minds.
Although the Li family may not have planned to do so, those who had targeted the Li family did not think the same way.
They believed that their conjecture was very reasonable.
Soon after,
No one knew which brave warrior took the lead,
A Qi Refining stage cultivator of the Li family was killed in the wilderness, followed by a quick escape.
It must be said that the cultivators within the scope of Nascent Soul Upper Sect are indeed incomparable to ordinary ones in terms of their means and courage.
Although the brave warrior was quickly chased down and killed by the Li family’s senile Foundation-building Master in front of everyone,
In such a tumultuous time, such an incident, suddenly raised the Li family’s vigilance.
Upon returning to the family, the Li family’s Foundation-building Master immediately summoned all family members. Almost everyone from the Li family was brought into the Eight-vein Immortal City.
However, a few unlucky ones were still a step behind, and they died at the hands of some daring robbery cultivators.
Fortunately, the Li family’s Foundation-building Master was deterring within the family ,
Killing was also forbidden within the Immortal City.
For these reasons, those robbery cultivators who were bold enough to attack the Li family members finally calmed down and stopped targeting the Li family.
However, just because the robbery cultivators have stopped, doesn’t mean that the Foundation-building Masters who were also targeting the Li family no longer took action.
In the following month,
When He Song learned the news again,
The situation had changed somewhat.
From Su Qian’s mouth, He Song heard somewhat unexpected news.
The Li family’s business in Eight-vein Immortal City suffered a huge blow, with many shops closing down, causing the resources that the family could obtain to plummet.
However, for some reason,
Amidst this turmoil, someone approached the Li Family.
This man was a Master of Foundation Establishment. After entering the Li Family, he had a long private conversation with the Li family’s Foundation Establishment Master.
It is unknown what kind of agreement they reached.
The man then settled down within the Li Family.
Furthermore, he declared that the Li Family was under his protection, and anyone daring to act against the Li family would be his enemy.
They would be killed without mercy.
At the same time.
He Song also received a letter from Meng Guan.
In the letter, Meng Guan stated that he had been involved in a storm of events.
But due to some coincidences, he had no choice but to take action.
As to what exactly had happened, Meng Guan didnt say, nor did he mention the circumstances that led to his involvement.
However, He Song compared Meng Guan’s story with the information Su Qian had provided, and almost immediately, he was certain of one thing. Meng Guan must be the Foundation Establishment Master who had entered the Li Family.
Given Meng Guan’s current strength, he is indeed capable of stirring up quite a storm within an Immortal City.
To those true loose cultivators, Meng Guan’s power as a sect’s Foundation Establishment Master is far beyond their reach.
Although He Song and his friends have always claimed to be loose cultivators of Foundation Establishment, they are only comparing themselves to the elite sect members.
Following their Foundation Establishment, and even during the Qi Refining stage, they received the full support of the sect’s resources.
The skills they learned are the result of millennia of accumulation by the Thick Earth Sect.
The artifacts they hold are the fine works of the Thick Earth Sect’s Artifact Refining Hall.
They can use various profound skills at will.
The combat power of a sect’s Foundation Establishment cultivator far surpasses that of a true loose cultivator.
Real loose cultivators use rudimentary skills that they acquired from unknown sources.
The artifacts they possess have been acquired from other people, and it is unknown how many times they have changed hands.
Their Foundation Establishment skills have been cobbled together from various sources.
In comparison, how could true loose cultivators ever hope to be a match for their sect counterparts?
It is just as He Song had marveled at when he had first joined the Thick Earth Sect.
Everything within the sect is unimaginable to the outside world’s loose cultivators.
Who could have imagined that even seemingly ordinary skills available in the outside world will have advanced and mysterious versions within any sect?
Even apparently ordinary cultivation skills that can be easily purchased outside have the potential to be practiced to at least the Golden Elixir stage within the sect?
Even seemingly ordinary artifacts that can be purchased outside, have more powerful and specially refined versions within any sect?
Even subtle details that can enhance their strength, sect cultivators can attain to the extreme state through constant exposure.
This is also why most major sects use mid-stage Foundation Establishment
cultivators as guardians of their Immortal Cities.
The combat power of loose cultivator foundation builders is simply unremarkable.
Even late-stage Foundation Establishment loose cultivators can be suppressed by four mid-stage sect Foundation Establishment cultivators, with energy to spare for wiping out their factions.
With Meng Guan’s current late-stage Foundation Establishment strength, he is considered a top-tier existence in any Immortal City.
Moreover, with his fearsome reputation as Master Duan Hun, his combat prowess is even more terrifying.
Under such circumstances, it’s quite normal for Meng Guan to declare that if anyone dares to attack the Li Family, he will kill them.
At least in He Song’s opinion, it’s perfectly normal.
However, he doesn’t know how the other Foundation Establishment Masters who are targeting the Li Family think.
In this way.
Another month has passed.
When He Song received another letter from Su Qian.
Meng Guan had already gained a notorious reputation in the Eight-vein Immortal City.
His name as Master Duan Hun had also become well-known in the vicinity of the Eight-vein Immortal City.
Even Su Qian, when communicating with He Song, showed awe and admiration for Master Duan Hun in her words.
In Su Qian’s description.
He Song learned that after Meng Guan entered the Li Family and issued his declaration, some Foundation Establishment Masters had tried to probe him in secret.
However, the outcome was that Meng Guan confronted them the very same day, fighting a Foundation Establishment Master outside the Eight-vein Immortal City.
That Foundation Establishment Master’s cultivation was only at the mid-stage and was just a loose cultivator at that, so his combat power wasn’t particularly strong.
However, he had a longstanding grudge against the Li Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator, which is why he tested Meng Guan at that moment.
Now with Meng Guan’s appearance.
He naturally agreed to the challenge, eager to see how much Meng Guan was capable of.
Then…
That’s how Meng Guan’s fearsome reputation as Master Duan Hun spread.
And it was from this point on that Meng Guan’s cultivation realm became widely known to those around him.
Before he fought the Foundation Establishment Master, Meng Guan had never revealed his cultivation level.
Perhaps it was because he had spent too much time with He Song and had developed a cautious streak.
After leaving his sect this time, Meng Guan also concealed his cultivation level.
As a result, he had the opportunity to make a name for himself and seize the assets of a Foundation Establishment Master.
When he finally revealed his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, the Li Family was left in peace.
With the protection of a powerful late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Li Family’s crisis was quickly resolved.
However, it’s easier to invite trouble than to get rid of it.
Everyone wondered what price the Li Family had to pay to gain the assistance of a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert.
After all, if they were to destroy the Li Family, the assets would also belong to the expert himself..
