Each Had Their Own Calculations

"Purple Mysterious Pill, Zhang Yaozu?"

Xu Fan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, yet finding it quite reasonable.

He knew the effects of the Purple Mysterious Pill; it helped to forge Immortal Foundation for immortality. Its effects were slightly less than those of the Water-Fire Primordial Spirit, but it was still rare, especially for Rogue Cultivator.

As for Zhang Yaozu, I never expected to hear his name again because of the method of using the Joint Cultivation Human Pill.

It seems that he was targeted not only because of his rapid progress in cultivation but also because he was born a mortal and had no background.

Xu Laogou from Flowing Cloud Market once mentioned that Zhang Yaozu, through his introduction, became a member of the Luo Clan Immortal Clan.

It seems that Zhang Yaozu, lacking solar Spiritual Qi, was unable to advance to the Qi Refining Qi Refinement and thus chose Cultivation Method from other lineages.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Luo Clan's Purple Mansion True Person gave his own Joint Cultivation Method to Zhang Yaozu.

If he hadn't encountered Luo Chongyun and the people from the Sword Sect, he would likely have been persuaded to change his Cultivation Method before advancing to the Qi Refining Qi Refinement.

Although he's not afraid.

Zhang Yaozu had no trump cards and could only be manipulated by others.

Since the Immortal Clan of the two prefectures have requested that each family in the prefecture send Qi Refinement cultivators, will Old Dog Xu also be sent to that High Antiquity treasure land?

He hadn't forgotten how he was inexplicably cursed to death when he was still Fetal Breathing cultivator.

The strongest cultivator I encountered at the time was Shopkeeper Xu from Flowing Cloud Market. Even if it wasn't him, he was definitely related to him.

I originally planned to wait until I had completed my Foundation Establishment before finding an opportunity to capture and interrogate this person.

Now it's possible to encounter it earlier.

With his current strength, he could completely crush any opponent who was still Qi Refinement cultivator.

"Such a treasure is indeed a great temptation for us Rogue Cultivator."

"But Zhang Yaozu was carefully trained by the Luo Clan, and his skills are not weak. He also possesses Foundation Establishment Law Artifact, so even Qi Refinement Ninth Layer cultivator would find it difficult to kill him."

Chai Yunshan snorted coldly and said resentfully, "We Rogue Cultivator. Many Qi Refinement cultivators have died at the hands of Zhang Yaozu. They were truly determined to be refined into human pills!"

The matter of Joint Cultivation Human Pill, and Zhang Yaozu must have found out about it through the outside world, but he was unwilling to die like that.

That's ridiculous.

How can someone at the lower levels of Qi Refinement break free from the grasp of True Person?

I fear that the day I achieve Foundation Establishment will be the day I perish!

In his view, the conflict between the two Immortal Clan clans would either end with Zhang Yaozu's death or with Zhang Yaozu establishing his Immortal Foundation.

"Fellow Daoist Chai, have you come here hoping to have someone look out for me?"

Xu Fan finally understood why Chai Yunshan was so enthusiastic towards him.

However, if you have a request and know your purpose, then things will be easier.

"Good."

"Old man, if I die, I'll die, but my family can't be without me."

Chai Yunshan sighed and nodded in agreement.

His family's privileged status at Clear Water Peak is inseparable from his Qi Refinement of Qi Refining Stage 10.

Once he dies, it's hard to say what will happen to his family.

"We are Rogue Cultivator, and we should naturally look out for and help each other."

Xu Fan nodded in agreement, but he didn't really care.

He wouldn't let go of any opportunity or power, whether it was the Luo Clan or the Zhao Clan Immortal Clan immortals.

Since I won't die, I'd rather see what good things that High Antiquity treasure land has to offer.

"Well!"

A smile appeared on Chai Yunshan's face, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

We chatted for a few more minutes before I said goodbye and left.

No matter what schemes or tricks you have, or even if it's True Person's scheme, Master Xu will shatter them all with a single punch!

Watching Chai Yunshan disappear into the distance, Xu Fan chuckled inwardly.

For him, death was just a matter of changing his identity; there was no need to be cowardly. At worst, he could just explode along with everyone else.

Clear Water Peak.

In the courtyard at the summit.

The head of the family, Chen Jianxing upright in the hall, his eyes slightly closed, his index finger gently tapping the chair.

Before long, Chen Jingyan, who had invited Xu Fan to join the Chen Household, strode over and bowed slightly. "Father, did you call me?"

"Jingyan, sit down and talk." Chen Jianxing slowly opened his eyes, gesturing for the other person to sit down.

"Has the background of that Liang Shanbo been investigated?"

It's rather strange that a young Qi Refinement Sixth Layer, who is also Rogue Cultivator, would go to the area in the South Sea islands where several True Person have appeared.

If it weren't for the strict requirement from the Zhao Clan Immortal Clan to send at least one Qi Refinement Late Stage, three Middle Stage of Qi Refinement, and six Early Stage of Qi Refinement...

They wouldn't invite someone of such dubious origin to join the Chen Household.

"We couldn't find anything; they must have concealed their identity and background."

Chen Jingyan shook his head and said, "However, from my interactions with Liang Shanbo, I observed that he doesn't seem to know much about the various prefectures of Land of Wu, so he should be Rogue Cultivator."

"Such a person must have something on their mind to conceal their identity; they are likely a cultivator from somewhere else."

"Fine."

Chen Jianxing hesitated for a moment before speaking, "It's just a Qi Refinement Sixth Layer, at most a Foundation Establishment cultivator, my family isn't afraid."

"My family doesn't have many Middle Stage of Qi Refinement, so we have to send these non-family cultivators. Let's include Liang Shanbo in the list."

This time, the Chen Household transferred nearly half of their Qi Refinement cultivators, which he could accept, but he really couldn't find suitable candidates for the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement.

Unless his precious son is included as well.

Of the younger generation in the Chen Household are now expected to Foundation Establishment, only Chen Jingyan is worthy of being called a son; he is the only one who cannot afford to fail.

Even if it means offending another Foundation Establishment cultivator!

With my uncle and third uncle leading the way, these non-family cultivators, even if they are dissatisfied, will not make any moves.

Chen Jingyan nodded with a faint smile, "Once we get there and the registration is complete, whether these people live or die is none of our business."

The Chen Household has raised so many cultivators from other clans, so naturally they should make the best use of them. They can't just send their own disciples to fight.

As for what these non-clan cultivators think or hate, they can't cause much of a stir.

Most Rogue Cultivator are weak, have incomplete lineages, and practice only eighth or ninth-grade Cultivation Method. Their Law Power methods.

The Chen Household has been operating for decades, cultivating a seventh-grade Cultivation Method with a complete lineage, numerous spells, and even foundation -Foundation Establishment Law Artifact and formations. How could Rogue Cultivator?

"By the way, Father, Chai Yunshan recently visited Liang Shanbo's courtyard."

The Chen Household is naturally cautious about Liang Shanbo's joining them, since his origins are unclear, and they have sent people to keep a close eye on him.

Chai Yunshan's friendship with Liang Shanbo on the demon-hunting ship may not have been without ulterior motives, but one could guess some of them.

"Ignore Chai Yunshan; he has children and grandchildren on Clear Water Peak."

Chen Jianxing's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "And this is even better."

"The closer their relationship becomes, the less likely Liang Shanbo will be to escape midway. Let them go."

The Chen Household's mission was simply to bring enough data and qualified Qi Refinement cultivators; nothing else mattered.

Furthermore, while the Chen Household family members were able to escape, it was a different story for those Rogue Cultivator.

Furthermore, the High Antiquity treasure land offers numerous fortuitous opportunity and temptations, making it extremely attractive to Rogue Cultivator.

Since you're already there, why not try to seize some fortuitous opportunity treasures?

The resources of the thirty-six counties of Land of Wu have long been allocated, and Rogue Cultivator can only have a chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage by fighting in the sea.

That's how the Chen Household started out.

Besides, only those from High Antiquity blessed lands and grottoes can get a share of the spoils.

But most Rogue Cultivator are just cannon fodder.

"Father is right."

"However, this person is young and cultivates the True Fire Dao, so his Cultivation Method must be quite good; he is likely a seventh-grade cultivator."

Chen Jingyan nodded in agreement, and then deliberately mentioned it again.

The Chen Household primarily cultivates metal and fire Cultivation Method, making them exceptionally powerful in combat. However, their best Cultivation Method is still only at the seventh rank. If they could acquire another seventh-rank Cultivation Method based on true fire, the clan's members would have one more option.

I will explain this matter; take it if the opportunity arises.

Chen Jianxing did not refuse; having another seventh-grade Cultivation Method was indeed a good thing.

Whether someone at the Qi Refinement Sixth Layer can emerge from that High Antiquity treasure land is uncertain. For someone on the verge of death, it's best to leave behind their inheritance.

If he weren't lacking Middle Stage of Qi Refinement to fill the gap, he would have secretly taken action to capture the boy and investigate what inherited treasures he possessed.
