The Zhang Family had lived at Lotus Pond for generations.
Lotus Pond was rich in spirit lotus roots and lotus seeds... Lotus blossoms could be used to make spirit garments, while lotus seeds greatly replenished spiritual energy when eaten, with effects even surpassing spirit rice.
Although the spiritual vein at Lotus Pond was somewhat lacking in spiritual energy, the Zhang Family's founding ancestor had nevertheless chosen this place to establish the family.
The Zhang Family of Lotus Pond was also a renowned force in the Forest Kingdom's cultivation world.
The Zhang Family's current Supreme Elder, Zhang Lingxiao, was a man of countless schemes, famed even among Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But no flower stayed red for a hundred days.
By now, this Zhang Family Supreme Elder was close to dying of old age, while the younger generation of the Zhang Family was failing to produce worthy successors.
In particular, after several cultivators at the peak of Qi Refinement had failed in their attempts to establish their foundations on their own, the Zhang Family had been left teetering in the wind and rain.
Gritting his teeth through the pain, Zhang Lingxiao had decided to sell off part of the family's ancestral property and exhaust tremendous favors and connections to obtain a single Foundation Establishment Pill!
At this moment, that Foundation Establishment Pill had become the target of countless Rogue Cultivators and minor factions!
Rumble!
A valley suddenly collapsed, sending countless shattered stones flying as streams of black qi shot into the sky. It was clear that some formidable formation had been lying in ambush there.
"The ancestor is wise indeed! Those rogue cultivators wanted to seize our Foundation Establishment Pill, only to fall into the ancestor's trap."
The Zhang Family head flew alongside Zhang Lingxiao, his face brimming with reverence.
