pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin is open and straightforward, I, Old Hu, also understand the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One matter is one matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the token needed by Old Ning’s descendants, I and Old Jia will contribute Spirit Stones or resources in exchange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Jin, with some grief, selected the tokens needed for the descendants of another Daoist friend from his Storage Pouch, and then returned the pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also took away two spiritual artifacts belonging to the late cultivator surnamed Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defensive armor was already heavily damaged, and the offensive weapon was also somewhat broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin, this time Old Ning risked his life for the sake of preparing Foundation Establishment for his descendants, and he also saved me and Old Jia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Old Jia and I intend to assist this junior in forming his foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will keep these two spiritual artifacts for now, and once the junior establishes his foundation, they will be returned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he will also have a means of self-protection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hu then brought out the resources and Spirit Stones he and Old Jia had prepared, all exchanged at fair market price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changan did not suffer any loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, when he looked at Old Hu and the unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Jia, their deep loyalty moved him to sigh in admiration:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Hu, you and Fellow Daoist Jia are truly righteous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Righteous my ass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would want this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we owe Old Ning a life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for that, who would bother with this matter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Old Hu cursed under his breath, the sorrow in his eyes could not be hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the days of their Qi Refining squad, only the three close friends had remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, one of them had fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene reminded Lin Changan of Li Erniu and the others, making him sigh inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Erniu and his group had not been obsessed with demon-hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, as the saying went—if you always walk by the river, how could your shoes not get wet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among their group, aside from Yun Yao, only he had reached Foundation Establishment, but the fact that everyone was still alive was already a blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Old Hu and his friends, the bond they carried along their journey was enviable, yet also sorrowful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Hu, I will drink to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Old Hu, will also drink to Brother Lin’s life-saving grace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two began to converse heartily within the pavilion, especially when Lin Changan asked in curiosity about Old Hu’s most recent demon-hunting expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin, I, Old Hu, am not boasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of us crawled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we compare ourselves to those disciples of sects and noble clans, we admit we may not match them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it comes to caution, we would never dare show the slightest carelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet those Cultivator Robbers, with noses sharper than dogs, still managed to track us down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hu was still frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days since returning, he and Old Jia had repeatedly gone over the events, yet still could not find where the mistake had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they could only chalk it up to bad luck and falling into the robbers’ ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reasoning felt flimsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Hu, in the World of Cultivation, methods change endlessly, impossible to guard against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, it is best to stay cautious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changan frowned as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not finding the flaw was the most troubling thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators like Old Hu, relying on hunting demon beasts to exchange for cultivation resources, were countless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these elusive Cultivator Robbers remained a serious threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, I have already reported this incident to Tianxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that Master Lu’s disciple, Daoist Song, is personally leading a squad to search for this group of robbers outside Tianxuan City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Old Hu’s words, Lin Changan frowned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as these robbers were not eliminated, they would never have peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where exactly did the flaw get exposed!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his powerful perception to check repeatedly, Lin Changan confirmed that Old Hu carried no unusual aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only shake his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Troublesome times indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hu did not stay much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he still needed to handle the affairs of the deceased Daoist Ning’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly departed, saying he would thank Lin Changan properly in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Lin Changan filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To have made such a loyal friend in the cultivation world—Daoist Ning could rest in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, his descendants would be protected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Daoist Ning’s Storage Pouch did not contain many resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, cultivators who spent years hunting demon beasts would never carry their entire fortune with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than some necessities for self-defense, most resources were either used for cultivation or left behind for descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few would ever bring their whole fortune to the hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought made Lin Changan reveal a strange look, as he himself seemed like one of those fat sheep who always carried everything whenever he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the outside situation turbulent, Lin Changan continued with cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What others considered dull, he found joy in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the abundant gains from his recent expedition, he had no plans to leave his abode anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also gave him an excuse to avoid the trouble caused by the robbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In cultivation, there were no days or nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, another year passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Lifespan: 70\u002F219】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Realm: Foundation Establishment Early-stage (97\u002F100)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The seventieth year of life, early-stage Foundation Establishment at peak, just one step away from breaking through to mid-stage Foundation Establishment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting cross-legged in his cave abode, Lin Changan slowly opened his eyes, satisfaction on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his age and aptitude, reaching this cultivation was already commendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since his cultivation speed was not slow at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A second-rank mid-grade Talisman Master, also hunting second-rank demon beasts for cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my cultivation speed still could not rise, then I really should just enjoy the rest of my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changan laughed and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the proper pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such abundant resources, if his speed still lagged, that would be the real problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those clan Foundation Establishment cultivators, while advancing quickly in the early stages thanks to family support, often become both bound and hindered by their clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Foundation Establishment, they become part of the family’s foundation, and usually dare not act rashly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lin Changan secretly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest advantage of rogue cultivators like Old Hu, who had no attachments, was that they dared to risk it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for most family Foundation Establishment cultivators, they had the will but not the freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they formed their foundation, they avoided risks, which caused their cultivation speed to slow in later stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they shifted their focus to managing their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this allowed the clan to endure for centuries, but it also eroded their spirit of advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Chen Qing for example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he reached Foundation Establishment, he was trapped in Tianxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not venture outside, yet also lacked any skill to sustain his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, his cultivation stagnated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some clans with deep foundations could still provide the massive resources needed for Foundation Establishment cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is why, after Foundation Establishment, some rogue cultivators gradually catch up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changan shook his head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, many rogue cultivators also chose instead to enjoy the rest of their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like himself, Old Hu, and that Jia cultivator, the few who continued to cultivate diligently after Foundation Establishment were rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Changan stretched his body, he heard the cheerful cry of the Green-Horned Ox outside his cave abode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately knew that Bingyun had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day they had agreed upon for handing over the resources needed for her spirit pet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the pond outside the cave abode—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moo! Moo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green-Horned Ox affectionately rubbed against Zhou Bingyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving some Spirit Grass, it swayed its tail in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These wounds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Bingyun, smiling as she stroked the ox, noticed the scars and silently nodded to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long since noticed that the Green-Horned Ox occasionally bore new scars over the years, but being clever, she never mentioned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no cultivator liked being spied upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Changan stepped out from the cave, Zhou Bingyun could not help but praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin, your Green-Horned Ox is truly thriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in our Zhou Family, we have few that are raised so well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member of the Beast-controlling Zhou Family, Zhou Bingyun could clearly sense how dense the demon aura of this second-rank ox had become—it was already at a threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, hearing her praise, Lin Changan only laughed and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Zhou Family’s Guardian Spirit Beast is already late-stage second-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ox cannot compare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of her family’s Guardian Spirit Beast, Zhou Bingyun’s face showed pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foundation of the Zhou Family lay not only in their beast-controlling techniques but also in that Guardian Spirit Beast, thanks to their ancestor’s foresight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was with the help of this beast that the Zhou Family had survived several periods of weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin, here are this year’s resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Bingyun handed over the resources, Lin Changan smiled and also took note of her cultivation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Zhou, you have already reached the peak of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won’t be long before you prepare for Foundation Establishment, will it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t everyone outside saying that I failed my Foundation Establishment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Zhou Bingyun could not help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of those rumors came from her family itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, sometimes keeping a low profile made development easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But one cannot rush Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the family is stable, if possible, I still want to polish my foundation for another two or three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, my Foundation Establishment will be more secure, and I will be able to go further afterward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this point, Lin Changan strongly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he had formed his foundation, he too had felt that, though he thought he was already at the peak of Qi Refining, further polishing had still brought progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was not suitable for ordinary rogue cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they planned for Foundation Establishment, they were already not young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they continued to polish themselves, their age would increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gains and losses balanced out, and it was not necessarily a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for those sects and great clans with deep foundations, it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Zhou Bingyun before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, many people understand this principle, but how many actually have the time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For cultivators, Zhou Bingyun at thirty-seven years of age was at her prime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polishing her foundation for another two or three years would not affect her at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the spiritual energy at Bamboo Mountain Marketplace could not compare to Tianxuan City at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Zhou Bingyun asked him some questions about Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changan could feel her sincerity, so he gave her serious guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent years, Zhou Bingyun had also been secretly managing some Zhou Family businesses, gaining much experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changan silently calculated in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her mid-grade spiritual root aptitude, good temperament, and clear understanding of her own needs, as well as the patience to polish further—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this Foundation Establishment was almost certain to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Brother Lin, for your guidance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one who experienced it herself, Zhou Bingyun naturally knew whether Lin Changan had taught her sincerely, so she looked at him with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Changan only smiled and waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your aptitude is not bad, and your Zhou Family is not lacking in Foundation Establishment experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only added flowers to brocade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Zhou Bingyun took her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Changan nodded slightly and watched her depart from the training grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as she left, the scene outside made Lin Changan frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the cave abode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a lively crowd had gathered at the neighboring residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all Chen Family members, faces brimming with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Chen Family’s Foundation Establishment celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Zhou Bingyun walked out of Lin Changan’s cave, she happened to run into Chen Wen, whose face glowed with radiance, having just formed his foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fairy Zhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the enthusiastic Chen Wen, Zhou Bingyun was momentarily stunned, but then she showed her proper upbringing and bowed with utmost respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it is Senior Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was reasonable for a Qi Refining cultivator to address a Foundation Establishment cultivator as senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wen approached, eyebrows exuding confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhou Bingyun, a trace of pride rose in his eyes, as he pretended to comfort her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fairy Zhou, I heard some time ago that you failed at Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was in seclusion, and only just heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I truly apologize.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Chen Wen’s smug expression left Fairy Zhou somewhat astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this man really believed the rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing his posturing, she sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man revealed all his emotions on his face, clearly not someone who could achieve great things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your concern, Senior Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Bingyun did not wish to become entangled with this sort of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She merely put on a slightly dim look, satisfying his petty arrogance and conceit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fairy Zhou, why so polite between you and me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wen, having just reached Foundation Establishment, was naturally full of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when facing this woman who once paid him little attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if she was from the Zhou Family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment lay an uncrossable chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, looking at the once lofty Zhou Bingyun, Chen Wen raised his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His former inferiority had already vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he believed that marrying a Zhou Family Qi Refining woman was no longer beyond his reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wen smiled broadly as he conversed with Zhou Bingyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even began to share his experiences with Foundation Establishment, offering encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He told her that she would definitely succeed next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his intentions were obvious to all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the protagonist of the Chen Family’s Foundation Establishment celebration, here he was, lingering outside the cave with a Qi Refining female cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, it drew the attention of many Chen Family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s Miss Zhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Chen Qing, who had suffered severe injuries, came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing who it was, his face lit with joy, and he nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his grandson establishing his foundation, if they could truly tie relations with the Zhou Family, it would be a double blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Chen Qing believed that now his grandson had reached Foundation Establishment, he was completely worthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Senior Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by Chen Family members, Zhou Bingyun showed not the slightest panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she smiled and offered congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Zhou must have come to attend my grandson’s Foundation Establishment celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My grandson has some talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, we were fortunate to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill from Alchemist Song, and he luckily succeeded in forming his foundation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Chen Wen’s success, Chen Qing’s smile had not left his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chen Family now had two Foundation Establishment cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly bringing honor to their ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary families, this would already make others envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are still clan matters to attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On behalf of the Zhou Family, I offer Senior Chen a congratulatory gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhou Bingyun felt somewhat speechless inside, her face revealed nothing but courtesy and a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone would believe she truly came just to deliver congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since the gift she gave was generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandfather, Miss Zhou specially came to see me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the gift, Chen Wen’s face grew even redder, proud to show off before his clansmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is the Zhou Family’s eldest daughter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My goodness, our Chen Family has really risen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Zhou Family’s daughter has come to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I always knew Chen Wen

but she suppressed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, I must return to report to my family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t intrude further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, Zhou Bingyun’s conduct was impeccable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though most Chen Family cultivators were shallow and did not grasp the difference between the Zhou and Chen families, Chen Qing and Chen Wen certainly knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Chen Qing was happy to feign ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, his grandson, now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, showing interest in the Zhou Family’s daughter was no shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rogue family needed to seize every opportunity before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wen, standing at the side, understood perfectly, and a smile spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not intending to do anything excessive—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>merely to show his intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>",2873,"2026-06-06T08:45:32.906Z",1,"novelbin.me","26f45fe06a1958b33728f7642cdfbf68ef4fa347e724a947a7eecc5021d0e1b7","immortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-chapter-133","immortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-chapter-131",242,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-cultivation-begins-with-drawing-talisma-cover.jpg"]
