Rain Listening Pavilion.

A sign on the door read "In Seclusion, No Guests."

Shen Xuan quietly returned to the Practice Room.

No longer concealing breath and invisibility, he revealed his figure.

"A Foundation Establishment Cultivator of a cultivation clan is merely so-so."

Shen Xuan sat cross-legged.

While recovering spiritual power, he replayed the magical combat that just occurred.

Sun Zhengyang's strength was similar to the Daoist Qing Yuan of the past.

His defense was somewhat stronger.

Yet still limited in strength.

From the beginning, he intended to use "Thunder God's Fury" to kill Sun Zhengyang.

In fact, fully executing the Water Technique could also easily kill him.

However, that would easily expose his identity.

Using the Thunder Technique, he could disguise his identity while increasing the deterrence against the Sun Family!

Among loose cultivators, it's rare to inherit the Thunder Technique.

Among cultivators of the same realm, Thunder Techniques are the most powerful.

If the Sun Family is wise, they will proceed cautiously, retract their front line, and refrain from relentlessly attacking the Chen Family.

However, even if the Sun Family seeks revenge on the Chen Family, it has nothing to do with him.

"It's just a transaction, after all."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He didn't know when it started, but his heart had become increasingly hardened.

Perhaps, it was due to witnessing life and death often.

Letting go of the urge to help others, respecting their fate.

Unless absolutely necessary, he should not act rashly.

Shen Xuan calmed his emotions and began to sort his spoils.

Two lower-grade magical treasures should be worth twenty to thirty thousand spirit stones.

The storage pouch contained just over three thousand spirit stones and some miscellaneous pill talisman materials.

"Clan cultivators are really poor!"

"Huh, what's this?"

"Spring Breeze Intoxication, a spirit wine recipe!"

Shen Xuan viewed it with interest.

Spring Breeze Intoxication is renowned in Song Country, a Tier Two spirit wine, used to strengthen the divine soul and restore spiritual power.

A pot of Spring Breeze Intoxication contains only five catties, priced at a high two hundred spirit stones.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can't afford it.

"This spirit wine recipe is quite valuable. I'll try it out when there's a chance in the future!"

Winemaking is a systematic project.

If the scale is too small, it's not worthwhile.

To earn spirit stones, the larger the scale, the better.

At this moment, Shen Xuan neither had the energy nor the conditions.

"Anyway, the real gain is 'Thunder God's Fury'!"

Enormous power, giving him another trump card for protection.

Moreover, it constantly tempers the flesh body, greatly increasing lightning resistance.

Enhanced control of Thunder Spiritual Power can also improve the talisman success rate of "Breaking Evil Divine Thunder Talisman."

"What I need to do now is to cultivate with focus, advance steadily, and increase strength!"

Shen Xuan had been in Foundation Establishment for six years.

Since acquiring the Jade Spirit Clam's "Water Spirit Absorption" talent, his cultivation speed had significantly increased.

"At this cultivation rate, I will break through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer in two years!"

Shen Xuan was full of hope and energy.

...

Zhou Clan Territory of Beast Taming.

In the morning.

The last remaining Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Chen Family from Xueling, Chen Xiangdong, left the room early and headed straight to the Demonstration Arena.

There, a dozen or so immortal seeds of the Chen Family, led by the loyal servant Old Huang, were ingesting the essence of dawn and cultivating Qi.

He glanced at them.

In his heart, a wave of desolation arose.

Over a thousand clan members were massacred by the Mingfeng Sun Family.

Except for a very few who were scattered.

The survivors were only these young ones.

Among them, only one had an upper-grade spirit root, and three had middle-grade spirit roots.

The rest, all had lower-grade spirit roots.

Thinking about reviving the family business, how difficult it was!

The morning sun gradually unfurled a myriad of golden rays, warming the earth.

However, Chen Xiangdong's heart was full of holes.

His internal organs were faintly aching.

That night, he fought Sun Zhengyang for over ten breaths.

He risked his life, using multiple secret techniques, just to withstand Sun Zhengyang's pursuit.

However, he also damaged his Dao Foundation as a result.

"Sun Zhengyang!"

Thinking of this name, Chen Xiangdong gritted his teeth in hatred.

The Xueling Chen Family was indeed destroyed by this man.

"Old Huang, have you seen Bailian?"

"I'll go to the front courtyard to see if I can find her."

"Once you find her, tell her to come to my room!"

Chen Xiangdong looked at the earnest practicing immortal seedlings in the Demonstration Arena.

He sighed softly and slowly returned to his room.

As soon as he entered, he started coughing.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Old guy, you mustn't fall!"

Chen Xiangdong murmured to himself.

To see the immortal seeds of the Chen Family grow up, he at least needed to live another thirty years.

A cultivation clan without a Foundation Establishment cultivator is as fragile as paper.

Any slight disturbance would annihilate it.

Chen Xiangdong took out a blood-red spirit pill, glanced at it, and swallowed.

This spirit pill could instantly stimulate potential and heal injuries.

Afterward, he sat cross-legged and circulated his energy.

After the time it takes for incense to burn, his complexion returned to normal.

At this moment, he heard a bell outside the door.

"Uncle Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

It was Immortal Bai Lian's voice.

When he opened the door, Immortal Bai Lian walked in with a smiling face.

She carried a gift in her hand.

"Uncle Grandpa, this is Tier Two spirit wine Spring Breeze Intoxication! Bai Lian barely got it from Grandpa's hands!"

Chen Xiangdong's face twitched slightly.

It was clearly a gift from the Zhou family's ancestor to him.

Zhou Bailian offered it under pretense, insisting it was from her.

"Bailian, what's going on with Sun Zhengyang? It's been over half a year!"

Immortal Bai Lian's smile remained unchanged.

"Uncle Grandpa! My good Uncle Grandpa! Don't you trust Bai Lian?"

"Bailian, you're my grandniece, of course, I trust you. Just a mere Thunder Beast Essence Blood, even if it's given to you, what's the harm!"

Chen Xiangdong sighed.

"Uncle Grandpa feels guilty! No matter what, Sun Zhengyang must die! Otherwise, Uncle Grandpa can't face our clan members and will have no peace!"

Immortal Bai Lian contemplated silently for a while.

A long pause.

She raised her head again, her eyes determined.

"Uncle Grandpa, rest assured. That person, although extending the deadline, is a man of integrity."

"Since he accepted the Thunder Beast Essence Blood, he won't break his word!"

"Just three years, can't Uncle Grandpa wait?"

Chen Xiangdong nodded.

"That's right. Just three years, Uncle Grandpa can wait."

"However, Sun Zhengyang is in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and quite strong. Are you sure the person you found can kill him in one strike?"

From Chen Xiangdong's understanding, to deal with Sun Zhengyang, a cultivator's cultivation realm should reach at least the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment to have a chance of quickly killing him.

Immortal Bai Lian smiled gently: "Rest assured, Uncle Grandpa! That person's other aspects are mediocre, but his combat strength is astonishing!"

"Bai Lian can assure that if that person acts, Sun Zhengyang will meet his end within ten breaths!"

Previously, when Shen Xuan and Immortal Bai Lian were evenly matched in bed, he could dive into the bottom of Canglang River and slay a Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Flame Flood Dragon.

Later on, Shen Xuan's strength significantly improved.

His strength had more than doubled.

He defeated her completely in many battles.

Bai Lian believed that if Shen Xuan hid in the waters of Canglang River and ambushed an Earth Technique practitioner at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, it would surely be a simple task!

Hearing Immortal Bai Lian's confident words, Chen Xiangdong felt at ease.

After all, she was a close grandniece.

No matter what, she wouldn't deceive him over such a matter.

The doorbell outside rang again.

Opening the door, Old Huang hurriedly entered with an Intelligence Jade Scroll.

His face was filled with irrepressible joy.

"Patriarch, look..."

Chen Xiangdong took the Intelligence Jade Scroll and scanned it with his divine sense.

His old face immediately turned very lively.

"Water and Thunder Dual Cultivation! Instantly killed! Bai Lian, when did you meet such a formidable person!"

Immortal Bai Lian was equally astonished.

Accepting the Intelligence Jade Scroll, she quickly read it.

She bowed to Zhou Xiangdong and immediately turned to leave!

"This old fellow is also adept at Thunder Techniques, hiding so deeply!"

"If I don't extract some benefits from him today, I swear I won't rest!"
