Zhao Family’s Unusual Actions_1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, another day had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the early morning hours, in Qingshi Town, the Luo Family Ancestral Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a courtyard of the central area of the Luo Family’s estate, beneath the Stone Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng was at this moment holding a book titled “Introduction to Alchemy”, browsing through it with a very serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he didn’t understand why Luo Youwei, that little girl, was like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he did know was that if he wanted to prolong the little girl’s life,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the only method at present was to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcefully suppress the extreme and bone-chilling coldness within the little girl’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by suppressing that extreme and bone-chilling coldness,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would the little girl have a chance to survive the next full moon night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my past life, when I read novels, the protagonists made alchemy and artifact refining seem like handy side jobs for making money, as if it was quite simple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now that it’s time to actually learn alchemy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After three whole days, I haven’t even been able to touch the threshold of entry-level alchemy techniques…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he carelessly tossed the book “Introduction to Alchemy” onto the stone table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original plan was to research alchemy techniques up to the introductory stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, by consuming the vital blood of his clansmen, advance his cultivation to Viscera Refinement, beyond Bone Refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resolve the issue of his insufficient lifespan first, and then address the issues faced by Luo Youwei, that little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if things continue at the current pace…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issues of cultivation and lifespan seem resolvable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problems concerning that little girl, Luo Youwei,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seem unpredictable now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what, I will do my best!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it really doesn’t work…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng murmured softly, a hint of helplessness flashing through his slightly cloudy eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shaking his head, he picked up the book “Introduction to Alchemy” from the stone table again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened it and slowly began to leaf through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingshi Town is so named because of the abundant Qingshi ore veins in its vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the small town got the name Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to years of mining and exploration, the Qingshi ores near Qingshi Town\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mostly belonged to someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not to the Luo Family, then to the Zhao Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the recent discovery of a top-grade Qingshi ore vein, stretching over three hundred meters, was an exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, those from the Zhao Family have been acting somewhat unusual today,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>spoke a young man, robust but not exaggeratedly so,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with a handsome, fair complexion and an unyielding air, who was standing quietly in the center of a large tent set up near the newly found top-grade Qingshi ore vein outside Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brow was slightly furrowed, and he spoke in a somewhat stern tone to his father, Luo Yong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unusual?” Luo Yong, puzzled by his son’s words, asked, “In what way unusual?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, the previous days were fine, but today near this top-grade Qingshi ore vein, quite a few people from the Zhao Family have appeared,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the young man said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could finish,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yong, seated calmly at the place of honor and regarded as the strongest individual within the Luo Family by the outside world, waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, “What’s so unusual about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Luo Family and the Zhao Family are each responsible for mining and selling the Qingshi ore veins near Qingshi Town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The value of a top-grade Qingshi ore vein stretching over three hundred meters is clear to both us and the Zhao Family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, it is understandable that the Zhao Family is still covetous of this ore vein.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the following period, all we need to do is guard this top-grade Qingshi ore vein well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why bother with other matters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Luo Yong paid no more attention to his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just went about his usual routine, eating and drinking as he pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, life went on as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as that top-quality Qingshi vein, stretching for over three hundred meters, remained in the Luo Family’s possession, that was all that mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if some members of the Zhao Family appeared near the precious Qingshi vein, what of it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, those people from the Zhao Family wouldn’t dare to confront him, Luo Yong, or the Luo Family, would they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the robust, handsome, fair-skinned yet masculine young man…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his father had stopped paying attention to him, he could only helplessly shake his head and walk out of the large tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he was greeted by gusts of cold wind, tinged with a hint of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The autumn season was gradually passing by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The winter, out of the four seasons of the year, was also drawing near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father’s temperament is still the same…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth named Luo Qingshan adjusted his collar and let out a soft sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father was not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enough as long as the Luo Family could defend that vein of top-quality Qingshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the biggest problem now was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That the Zhao Family’s sudden abnormal behavior today must have a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Luo Family did not take proper precautions against this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they could be caught completely off-guard by an attack from the Zhao Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, things could get quite serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps I should inform my eldest uncle about this news,” he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though Father, my eldest uncle, and the second uncle can’t work together in harmony,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“at least in the face of such significant matters…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“all members of the Luo Family should unite and work together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, the future path of the family is worrisome indeed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, it was noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun hung high in the sky, scattering its relatively warm rays of sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It temporarily dispelled the chill brought by the tail end of autumn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Family Head, these are the messages that Young Master Qingshan asked me to convey,” said a house servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a room in Qingshi Town, the Luo Family Ancestral Land,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which was somewhat warm with the burning charcoal fire,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a robust and elite Luo Family house servant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stood with his head slightly bowed and hands clasped,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>speaking with utmost respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Zhao Family’s abnormal behavior?” After contemplating for a moment, Luo Ping waved his hand and said in a low voice, “I’m already aware of this matter. You may leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” After bowing, the elite house servant turned\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and left the room quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the servant gradually disappeared from Luo Ping’s sight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chuan, who had been hiding in a corner of the room, slowly emerged\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and nonchalantly took a seat next to his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuan’er, regarding the Zhao Family’s abnormal behavior,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“what do you think is their true intent?” asked Luo Ping, turning his head to his son, puzzled, after pondering for a long time without result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The answer to that question is quite straightforward,” Luo Chuan began,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>picking up a cup of hot tea from beside him, bringing it to his lips, and taking a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another moment of thought and organizing his words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he spoke softly, “The reason why the Zhao Family has taken such abnormal actions is simply that they can no longer restrain themselves…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1235,"2026-06-03T12:43:46.723Z","2026-06-03T12:43:39.762Z",1,"novelbin.me","33866a3dec3489c7b50b90e61ff18ea203146964e246122674d2d4a61d8e9e9b","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-294","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-293",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
