After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn’t restrain himself from speaking out, “My lord, the family powers within Qingshi Town should not be underestimated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we forcefully press these family powers for hefty donations…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps it isn’t the best solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Ji said, “Town Leader Yue, have your horizons become so narrow from staying in such a small place for too long?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think my knife is not sharp enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or do you think the army under my command is not strong enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A mere family power within Qingshi Town, with a wave of my hand, I can suppress them by force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If they agree to donate, all the better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if anyone resists, they will be killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Killed until it chills their hearts, killed until they dare not resist, and the donation matter will naturally fall into place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Jun looked at Tao Ji, who was clothed in the shining silver armor, as well as the elite soldiers standing outside the room, unmoving and expressionless as pines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head in resignation, sighed quietly, and said in a low voice, “Since you, my lord, have already made a decision, let’s proceed as you have said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under the consultation of Tao Ji, the commander of a thousand, and Yue Jun, the town leader of Qingshi Town,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter of donations from the major families within Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was also carried out in an orderly fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the reputations of the four major families within Qingshi Town were too resounding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the Luo Family, Zhao Family, Jing Family, or the Hu Family,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to take the donation matter lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These four families knew that whether it was from the official side or from the various family powers within Qingshi Town,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes would be on the four families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, rather than delay things with endless excuses,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to bite the bullet and shed blood in order to ensure the family’s survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while the donation from the four major families in Qingshi Town was straightforward, the family powers under them\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were somewhat reluctant to donate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four major families had many industries under their control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they shed blood once and were greatly weakened, as time passed, they could always recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the family powers beneath these four major families,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were to shed blood once, whether they could recover afterward was an unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng, as the Ancestor of the Luo Family, was now sitting quietly under the Stone Pavilion, calmly flipping through a book called “Introduction to Alchemy” in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing silently beside Luo Changfeng was the current Family Head of the Luo Family, Luo Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze, inadvertently, gradually shifted to the old book held in the hands of the Ancestor of the Luo Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Introduction to Alchemy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The same book again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Luo Ping entered the courtyard of the Ancestor of the Luo Family, he would always see the Ancestor holding such a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How are things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is the progress of the donation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which families have donated, and which families have not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng glanced at Luo Ping, standing beside him, and the youth Luo Chuan, who was following behind Luo Ping and still looking slightly immature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set down the book named “Introduction to Alchemy” and asked in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Patriarch Changfeng, the donation matter is almost finished,” Luo Ping said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The other three major families in Qingshi Town have donated early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The majority of the large families have also donated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some of the medium and small families seem to want to try their luck, so they simply found excuses to keep dragging it out…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng: “Is that all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ping: “Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the confusion on Luo Ping’s face, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but sigh slightly and turned to Luo Chuan, “It’s better if you explain it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chuan respectfully bowed his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to explain the donation matter in detail to Patriarch Changfeng standing before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If what you say is true, won’t that mean that within three days, a storm of blood and violence will surge through Qingshi Town?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Patriarch Changfeng,” Luo Chuan nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you investigated whether those families truly have no money, or if they simply… do not wish to donate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Patriarch Changfeng, does it really matter whether they have money or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Luo Chuan said this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the courtyard fell into a profound silence beneath the Stone Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this silence did not last long before Luo Changfeng broke it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You lad…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng looked at Luo Chuan, who, despite his still somewhat youthful face, had already shown his capability, and couldn’t help but say with a smile, “If that’s the case, then you may leave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Patriarch Changfeng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chuan bowed slightly and cupped his hands in a salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he left the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, looked at his Ancestor’s expression and then at his son, who was gradually walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being momentarily stunned, he also bowed respectfully to Patriarch Changfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he followed in his son’s footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the two of them had left the courtyard of the Ancestor of the Luo Family,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ping, still somewhat unclear about the situation, suddenly asked his son Luo Chuan beside him, “Chuan’er, what did you mean by those words you told Elder Changfeng just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chuan: “The general idea is, if there are still families that haven’t donated within three days, the elite soldiers will have to take action.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Luo Ping frowned slightly, seeming somewhat surprised, “Chuan’er, didn’t you say before that if they truly had no money, there would be no issue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, you said it yourself, that was before…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Chuan walked, he suddenly stopped and looked at his father, Luo Ping, beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated for a moment, and then sighed, speaking softly, “Based on what I know about General Tao Ji, who leads a thousand soldiers, those people likely don’t have the time or energy to investigate each family to see whether or not they have money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, there’s…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else is there?” Luo Ping pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, it’s just that…” Luo Chuan paused and then shook his head with a smile, “Never mind, it’s nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was his own father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really tell his own father that Elder Changfeng was becoming dissatisfied with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That his position as Family Head might not last much longer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though these were the truths,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>saying them outright would somewhat wound his father’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>",1367,"2026-06-03T12:43:46.723Z","2026-06-03T12:43:39.762Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c5fb1057c9d21f95e50c4c5bd608693848d048881c6c3f3648931e0b88dc4f8","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-441","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-440",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
