My Ge family is also a great clan. How could we be stingy in such matters? If word got out, wouldn't other families laugh at us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan smiled lightly, \"Brother Xuanhong speaks reasonably. We truly trouble Family Head Ge to carefully consider this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As it should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Yanhua smiled lightly and casually collected it into his storage bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, what important business brings you all to my Yuehu Commandery? Just traveling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan sat back in his seat and said, \"These two are young juniors from the clan. They have some talent, so we brought them out to see the world and see if they might discover any opportunities. Like our Yuehu Commandery's Zhou family Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, it's rumored he discovered an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling during his travels and obtained quite a few opportunities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could ancient cultivator cave dwellings be so easily encountered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Yanhua thought inwardly, \"In all of Guangling Commandery over hundreds of years, only a few scattered people have obtained such opportunities. As expected of a newly promoted Qi Refining family, their horizons are narrow. For immortal cultivation families to develop, they can only rely on continuous self-accumulation, cultivating generation after generation of excellent family disciples. That's the true path to growth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ge Xuanhong advised, \"You must be careful when seeking opportunities outside. Some rogue cultivators harbor ill intentions, and you might also encounter people from other families.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Yanfeng stroked his short beard, \"You're planning to purchase cultivation pills? However, superior-grade pills aren't always available for sale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling received Xu Mingyuan's transmission and smiled lightly, \"We're not lacking cultivation pills. We do have some superior-grade pills we're planning to trade for other immortal cultivation resources like spirit medicines, magical artifacts, talismans, and such.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ling'er, don't say too much.\" Xu Mingwei lightly scolded, \"Outside is not like home. Being straightforward isn't a good habit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling nodded, \"Understood, Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ge Yanhua was quite surprised. After exchanging glances with Ge Yanfeng, he said, \"Your daughter is still young, Fellow Daoist. Why blame her? After a few more experiences, she'll mature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope so.\" Xu Mingwei said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just heard you all have surplus cultivation pills?\" Ge Yanhua asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan said, \"My Xu family is a newly promoted immortal cultivation family. The number of immortal cultivators in the clan isn't large, and we happen to have someone who can refine pills, so we occasionally have pills left over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be able to refine superior-grade pills, they're clearly a pill refining grandmaster.\" Ge Yanfeng said, \"No wonder your Xu family could rise so quickly. Though my Ge family also has its own pill refiners, we've never produced a pill refining grandmaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does all of Guangling Commandery not have a single pill refining grandmaster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not quite. The Wei family once had their own pill refining grandmaster, but he reached his lifespan limit a few years ago. The Feng family, on the other hand, recruited a pill refining grandmaster who's a rogue cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this continues, won't the Wei family be at a disadvantage and possibly be annexed by the Feng family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not so.\" Ge Yanhua said, \"They may be at a disadvantage now, but that may not be the case in the future. A few years ago, the Wei family spread word that a disciple from a distant branch seemed to have been taken as a disciple by a certain pill refining grandmaster and brought to the imperial city. His family members were all brought into the main family and given treatment as direct descendants. However, the exact details aren't too clear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wei family, Wei Dao?\" Xu Mingyuan recalled that Xu Chuan had mentioned that Dan Hall's Daoist Yunding had taken a personal disciple who was also surnamed Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could there be such a coincidence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's so coincidental?\" Hearing Xu Mingyuan's murmur, Ge Yanhua asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan smiled lightly, \"It's nothing. I wonder when Family Head Ge will send someone to take us to Guangling Commandery's market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xuanhong, you're heavily injured. Rest and recuperate at home. Third Brother, you take Fellow Daoists from the Xu family for a visit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Family Head.\" Ge Yanfeng cupped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Family Head Ge turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan's eyes rippled slightly as he thought, \"The Feng family may know that the Wei family has someone taken as a disciple by a pill refining grandmaster, but they definitely don't know that person will most likely become the Dan Hall's chief disciple in the future. If the Feng family learned this news, they'd either try to curry favor with the Wei family or strike first to gain the advantage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having coexisted peacefully for so many years, the Wei and Feng families' overall foundations must be quite similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominating a commandery alone versus sharing the realm with another, anyone would choose the former.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not that they don't want to annex the other, but they fear casualties being too great and attracting others' covetous eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Wei family had a clan member who would later become Dan Hall's chief disciple, even if Dan Hall doesn't participate in family disputes, as long as Wei Dao was willing to make promises for them, quite a few Foundation Establishment families would be willing to lend the Wei family a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Wei family has prospects of becoming a third-rank or even second-rank family in the future. If our Xu family can lend them a hand in their time of crisis, future trade dealings with Guangling Commandery will be stable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan immediately made a decision in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether the methods were despicable, as long as the Xu family could obtain maximum benefits, that was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like rogue cultivators, whether it's families or Fellow Daoists, whatever benefits one's own cultivation can be plundered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Wei and Feng families were already two major camps in constant conflict for years. What Xu Mingyuan wanted to do was merely light this fuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for helping the Zhou family destroy the Su family like in the Su-Zhou conflict, that didn't apply in Guangling Commandery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Guangling Commandery, both faction camps had formed over a hundred years ago. All the Qi Refining families had taken sides with either the Wei or Feng families, prospering together or suffering together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if both sides erupted in all-out war, it would definitely be a prolonged conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To completely annihilate one faction camp, probably neither side could currently achieve it, but they could severely damage their elites or talented family disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this hatred accumulated deeper and deeper, one day only one family would remain in Guangling Commandery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Xu Mingyuan also intended to let everyone except Xu Mingwei gain some experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guangling Commandery market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Yanfeng, like a guide, introduced the market situation to the Xu family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outside immortal cultivators without roots in the market can only set up street stalls like rogue cultivators.\" Then he smiled lightly, \"Of course, if you don't mind, you could also place your pills in my Ge family's pill shop. Considering the friendship between Mingxuan and Xuanhong, we'd only charge a small rental fee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ge. There's no need to trouble the Ge family with this. However, if the Ge family is interested in trading pills with my Xu family, we could discuss that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't make decisions on this matter. I'd need to ask my elder brother first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly, \"We've imposed too much. We'll take our leave first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ge Yanfeng watched them leave, his eyes flickering, pondering something unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dezhao and Xu Deling were quite curious about the surroundings. Without Ge family members beside them, they became more lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingshu also accompanied the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan transmitted via divine sense to tell Xu Mingwei about the Wei-Feng matter, Dan Hall's Wei Dao, and his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering briefly, Xu Mingwei also agreed with his approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the Wei and Feng families already had conflicts, even if they didn't, conflicts could be created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, creating conflicts from nothing was not only troublesome but also easily discovered and targeted by both families, making it not worth the loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, Xu Mingyuan said, \"Third Brother, you'll set up a stall selling pills with me. Fourth Sister, you, Dezhao, and Ling'er will sell magical artifacts together and experience what it's like to be rogue cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Big Brother?\" Xu Mingxuan asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother has his own matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people immediately split up to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Brother, how do you plan to sell these pills?\" Xu Mingxuan was quite curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan glanced at him with a light smile, \"You'll know soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sat down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, they spread a gray cloth with three porcelain bottles placed on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon a wooden sign was taken out, and Xu Mingyuan wrote two lines on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first line in large characters: Trade middle-grade Qi Nurturing Pills for superior-grade pills, leaving after selling out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second line in small characters: Bottle transactions, thirty spirit stones or equivalent spirit medicines, techniques, secret arts, randomly receive two bonus superior-grade pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, Second Brother is still the same Second Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this gimmick, sure enough, more passing cultivators stopped by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people asked how much for individual sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two spirit stones per pill, standard pricing, but no superior-grade pill bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite a few people were weighing which was more cost-effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon a seventh layer Qi Refining immortal cultivator purchased a bottle, then when randomly selecting received a superior-grade Jade Dew Pill for healing and a superior-grade Qi Nurturing Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Superior-grade Qi Nurturing Pill, not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then left contentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half a incense stick's time, all three bottles of middle-grade Qi Nurturing Pills were completely sold, obtaining a total of sixty spirit stones, one hundred-year spirit medicine, and over twenty spirit medicines of several decades' age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately packed up and went to another side of the market to continue their stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sell out and leave, change location and set up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three consecutive times, Xu Mingxuan and Xu Mingyuan stopped setting up stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Brother, you're still amazing. In the blink of an eye, we earned over one hundred and twenty spirit stones, two hundred-year spirit medicines, various spirit medicines from ten to forty years old, and a superior-grade wind-element technique called Mysterious Wind Barrier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan waved his hand, \"This is just a minor technique. Let's see where Mingshu, Dezhao, and the others are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingxuan immediately formed hand seals and cast a technique, \"This way, doesn't feel far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the two found where Xu Mingshu, Xu Dezhao, and Xu Deling were setting up their stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How's the harvest?\" Xu Mingxuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling sighed, \"Second Uncle, being a rogue cultivator is too difficult. We haven't sold a single low-grade magical artifact. Big Brother's throat is almost hoarse from shouting. Finally, when someone came, they haggled relentlessly, wanting to buy it for eight spirit stones. Simply dreaming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of her speech, Xu Deling was huffing with anger, her hair almost standing on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Brother, Third Brother, how's your harvest?\" Xu Mingshu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, sold nine bottles, traded for over a hundred spirit stones, hundred-year spirit herbs, and a superior-grade wind-element technique. Second Brother said not to overdo it, so we don't need to sell pills for the next few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That took an hour?\" Xu Deling said blankly, exchanging glances with Xu Dezhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingxuan looked up at the sky, \"Should be about right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly worthy of Second Brother!\" Xu Mingshu exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, I must sell at least one item today!\" Xu Deling seemed to have become stubborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Ling'er, Aunt supports you!\" Xu Mingshu looked at Xu Mingyuan, \"Second Brother, think of something to help Little Ling’er.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan smiled slightly, \"Introduce these magical artifacts to Second Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling immediately described the three magical artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the Twin Snake Scissors, a small scissors-shaped magical artifact with serpent patterns on its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Deling say that when this low-grade magical artifact was fully activated, it could approach the power of a middle-grade magical artifact, Xu Mingyuan and Xu Mingxuan immediately looked at Xu Deling's artifact refinement ability with new respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two items, one was a brooch, an automatic low-grade defensive magical artifact, and one was a hairpin, a sneak attack low-grade magical artifact that made extremely little noise even when activated with magical power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are all good magical artifacts, but they seem somewhat special. They could be kept in the clan for future juniors or rewarded to recruited early Qi Refining rogue cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Second Uncle. Ling'er is confident she can replicate these magical artifacts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then as you wish. However, since these magical artifacts are your proud works, Deling, we can't sell them cheaply. Watch Second Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan immediately erected another wooden sign with the inscription: New practice works by a certain artifact refinement grandmaster, only three items remaining, selling out and leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, before long someone stopped by due to the artifact refinement grandmaster gimmick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An artifact refinement grandmaster's works? Which artifact refinement grandmaster?\" that rogue cultivator asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan smiled lightly, \"The grandmaster doesn't want their name revealed. After all, these are just practice works, not their famous pieces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rogue cultivator seemed doubtful, \"Fellow Daoist, these are all low-grade magical artifacts. It's truly hard to believe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I observe Fellow Daoist is only at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, perfectly suited for these Twin Snake Scissors. Though low-grade, maximum power can approach middle-grade. If the grade weren't too low, do you think the grandmaster would be willing to sell them like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Approach middle-grade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan immediately activated the Twin Snake Scissors. Two sword lights shot out, forming a scissor shape, multiplying their power, clearly exceeding ordinary low-grade magical artifact capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This commotion wasn't small, even attracting surrounding people over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it? This poor Daoist hasn't even refined it yet and can activate such power. If fully refined, the power can naturally increase further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many spirit stones?\" The rogue cultivator immediately asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty-two spirit stones, no haggling. Or equivalent spirit medicines, techniques, and secret arts. Whoever pays first gets it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the rogue cultivator could speak, thirty-two spirit stones flew over, landing on the stall cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want this item.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twin Snake Scissors immediately flew up and landed in their hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked over to discover it was a woman who had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore gorgeous broad-sleeved robes with dawn cloud patterns. Her eyebrows contained spring, the rouge at her eye corners applied just right, one bit more would be garish, one bit less would be bland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her waist belt cinched an heart-stopping curve. When her toes lightly touched the blue bricks, it was as if feathers dipped in vermillion scraped across everyone's hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light pink peach blossom at her brow center was the finishing touch, making her every movement full of alluring charm, captivating hearts and souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feng Yuzhen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone shouted, and the surrounding people retreated, not daring to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yuzhen came before the stall, glanced over, and laughed charmingly, \"Rarely are they all women's magical artifacts. What does this brooch do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When attacked, it automatically deploys a defensive light screen. When subjected to attacks from the fifth layer of Qi Refining or above, the light screen will shatter and cannot be activated again for a short time. Thirty-six spirit stones, no haggling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about this jade hairpin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mingyuan smiled lightly and casually injected magical power. The jade hairpin floated in the air with only faint fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yuzhen immediately understood and nodded, \"Not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The jade hairpin is twenty-eight spirit stones, no haggling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This humble woman doesn't have that many spirit stones on her. Could you perhaps make it cheaper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was like a soul-hooking sound entering Xu Mingyuan's ears. However, aside from some ripples in his heart when first seeing her, at this moment his eyes were calm, like a deep dead water abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>",2702,"2026-06-06T10:09:39.416Z",1,"novelbin.me","14e49854c48239c6aea511fa58e1330deae9714418f391b4a52e681d9474b2ed","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-166","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-164",454,null]
