Of course, the girl was just showing concern, considering the dangers lurking in the Demon Beast Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators have planned to achieve Core Formation, but only a tiny fraction succeed, and even returning alive is a stroke of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But considering the Li Family’s current situation, things have unexpectedly turned out well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an observed Lu Qingqing’s description of the Li Family’s situation, and couldn’t help but show a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Erniu was keen on establishing an Immortal Cultivation Clan, but the lack of foundation made it a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet unexpectedly, Erniu’s continual taking of concubines to produce offspring, initially seen as a burden, has now genuinely provided the clan’s foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issue was simple: after the incident of stealing Foundation Establishment materials, the Li Family split up. Naturally, Erniu had few resources to give the children born of these concubines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resulted in these descendants having low cultivation, yet Li Yifan being the sole Foundation Establishment Cultivator by blood, naturally drew these people to ally under Li Yifan’s lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This formed the embryonic shape of a clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many collateral disciples required the protection of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, gathering under Li Yifan’s lineage. In return for protection, they had to supply resources to the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This created the true structure of a family, with a clear hierarchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a few of Li Yifan’s full-brothers vaguely became the elders of the main family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder Erniu’s letters were filled with happiness; so this is why.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an chuckled, shaking his head, indeed fate is full of surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saying ’a blessing in disguise’ fits perfectly; having so many children had unexpectedly laid the groundwork for a family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Wei Buyi would feel a bit envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over a hundred years old now; I wonder if I’ll ever get to see them one last time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the last letter from Zhou Bingyun, Lin Chang’an fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In elegant handwriting, she mentioned everyone’s well-being, the peaceful situation in Yue Kingdom, and shared amusing stories from her cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the end, she added a note about looking forward to witnessing a Core Formation Cultivator’s grandeur someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a light sigh, Lin Chang’an took out his Spiritual Brush and began replying to each letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without getting sentimental, just calmly informing everyone that he’s doing well and is progressing steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, acknowledging the possibility of returning if things remain unattainable in a few decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shopkeeper, I entrust these letters to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After composing himself, Lin Chang’an approached the shopkeeper with a broad smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper, being a man of his word, sealed the letters with a smile and cupped his hands, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Talisman Master, rest assured. But given the long journey, the caravan returns only once or twice a year, so the delivery might be delayed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine, as long as they can be delivered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to connect with old friends in Yue Kingdom was already a great blessing, and he didn’t have many demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A letter once or twice a year is enough to assure safety and well-being for each party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the Profound Sound Pavilion’s caravan, but the Seven Kingdoms Alliance caravan also carries letters back and forth, ensuring peace of mind and earning some Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such caravans frequently send letters home, as long as it’s along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those cultivators wanted by authorities, though longing for home, avoid contact to not bring trouble to loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Duo Bao Tower, Lin Chang’an’s cultivation hadn’t advanced, but there was a subtle change in his demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the shopkeeper behind shook his head with a smile, having witnessed many cultivators undergo similar changes upon receiving letters from their homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A secret chamber trade meeting on Five Dragons Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Lin, did you strike gold these past few days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chang’an looked puzzled, yet Hu Jin somehow felt that, in just three days, there seemed to be a lightness about Lin Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, the Seven Kingdoms Alliance caravan route was cleared; it might have your letters too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hu Jin shrugged off his previous doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It finally cleared! Now I might know how the descendants of old Ning’s family are doing, and as for that bastard old Jia, who promised to endure hardships together, he just gave up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jin spoke with apparent anger, yet deep in his eyes was a trace of remembrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cultivator has their own cherished memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s partake in the trade meeting first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trade meeting, simply put, involved a dozen powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathering at a designated spot in the market to trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each Foundation Establishment Cultivator arriving, the secret chamber was engulfed in a faint black mist—the Array black mist that blocks Divine Sense detection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its purpose was to conceal the identities of the cultivators and evade Divine Sense surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were straightforward, not hiding their true appearance, greeting everyone with smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others wore masks or cloaks, concealing their presence, and quietly sat in a corner without uttering a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once most attendees had arrived, among those facilitating the trade meeting, surprisingly Hu Jin was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Chang’an’s face twitched.
