Could it be that the remaining shapeshifting great demon belongs to Cloudstream City's Xu family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems many Daoist friends have recognized the one standing beside me.

He is the Grand Elder of our Xu family, and a shapeshifting great demon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his strength, he previously fought a battle against Sect Master Qi to a standstill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Tianxiong coldly snorted. \"Xu Chuan, stop spouting nonsense and get to the point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan paid him no mind and smiled faintly. \"Then, as Sect Master Qi wishes. The emergence of the Connate Secret Realm this time is a grand event for our two prefectures. I assume everyone has obtained quite a few opportunities inside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can all tell why our four families have set up such a grand formation here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An uproar instantly broke out among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan paused before continuing, \"However, do not panic, everyone. We will not force you into a corner. Those who belong to our four major factions may present their tokens and leave safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members of the Greedy Wolf Sect, stand to the east. The Heavenly Azure Sect, stand to the south. The Mo family, stand to the west. And members of our Cloudstream City's Xu family, stand to the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rest of you, voluntarily hand over your harvests. We will take half, and the remainder will be your earnings for this trip.

Whether alone or in small groups, they transformed into streaks of light and headed straight for the Xu family's position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were demonic cultivators with lingering bloody auras, rogue cultivators with upright auras, Foundation Establishment elders from minor families, ancestors of Golden Core aristocratic families, and even Qi Refining stage cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they continuously converged into the open airspace in front of the Xu family's camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, their numbers swelled to several thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bizarre sight caused the expressions of Qi Tianxiong, Mo Wentian, and Xi Daoyun to instantly become incredibly colorful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Tianxiong was initially stunned, but then a surge of furious rage from being made a fool of rushed to his head. Veins bulged on his forehead like earthworms, and his demonic qi erupted explosively, churning the surrounding clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his head around, his eyes piercing Xu Chuan like blood-stained blades, his voice turning hoarse and low from extreme anger: \"Xu—Chuan—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you playing at?! How could your Xu family possibly send so many people in?! There are even fucking Qi Refining stage ants among them?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And them—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed furiously at several figures with overbearing auras who were obviously Golden Core demonic cultivators flying toward the Xu family camp, and roared fiercely, \"Xiao Zhan, since when did your Demonic Heaven Chamber of Commerce become the Xu family's subordinates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Wentian also furrowed his brows deeply. The usual calm smile on his face was long gone, replaced by the simmering anger of being deceived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was like lightning as he too locked onto several Golden Core cultivators in front of the Xu family camp. \"Daoist Friend Yan, Daoist Friend Tang, and Daoist Friend Yan, you merely relocated to Cloudstream City. When did you become members of the Xu family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xi Daoyun did not directly question him, his pale face was also covered in gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how oblivious one could be, he knew that the three of them had been completely played by Xu Chuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incomparably domineering dragon roar suddenly exploded in the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue's True Dragon Pressure surged heavily toward Qi Tianxiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two oppressive pressures collided viciously over the center of the lake, erupting with a muffled boom. The impact sent massive waves crashing in the lake below and forced the clouds in the sky to roll backward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless cultivators felt their qi and blood roil violently from this pure clash of auras, forcing them to retreat again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue raised his massive dragon head, his cold vertical pupils staring directly at Qi Tianxiong with undisguised mockery and unruliness. \"What are you yelling blindly for?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to know if they are from our Cloudstream City's Xu family, just have them show their tokens and you'll see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi, if you think something is wrong, if you're not convinced and want to fight, this seat will accompany you in turning the world upside down right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrogant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domineering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncompromising!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling and the others took the lead. One by one, they flipped their hands and took out a token. Most were made of wood. As mana was injected, the tokens trembled slightly, projecting the character \"Xu\" into the air above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan chuckled lightly. \"It seems they are indeed all people of my Xu family. According to our agreement, people from the various factions are not allowed to attack them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope the few of you have not forgotten that you all swore an oath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Tianxiong gnashed his teeth and said, \"Xu Chuan, you've played us well. This Sect Master will remember this debt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Mo, Senior Xi, what about the two of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Wentian said indifferently, \"Since they all possess the Xu family's token, they naturally count as members of the Xu family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Tricked again,' Mo Wentian sighed helplessly in his heart. Just as owing a favor previously had tied his hands, Xu Chuan had set up another trap for them to jump right into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the end, they had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, how exactly did he manage to do this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question was something Qi Tianxiong and Xi Daoyun also desperately wanted to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only possibility was that Xu Chuan had anticipated this exact scenario before they even entered the secret realm and had long instructed the Xu family members to act accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the members of the respective factions have found their places, what are the remaining Daoist friends waiting for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not even think about shying away from work and acting slippery. Everyone who hands over their items must swear an oath. Or would you prefer to have several Nascent Soul seniors personally inspect your storage pouches?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining people from Heavenly Azure Prefecture and Greedy Wolf Prefecture, as well as those who had not made transactions with the Xu family inside the secret realm, all wore ugly expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were powerless to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Nascent Soul level powerhouses, along with the combined force of the Golden Core experts from the four major factions, were more than enough to beat them into complete submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this was already showing them some mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Greedy Wolf Sect's usual style was far from settling for a mere fifty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient Nether City, the Sima family, the Nie family, the Chao family, and other factions began to yield. Being able to bring back a portion safely meant their trip hadn't been entirely in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only blame their own lack of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they too had a Nascent Soul powerhouse among them, they would likely have joined this gluttonous feast without a moment's hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was obvious that among the four Nascent Soul forces, the Xu family was the biggest winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was estimated that the combined harvest of the other three factions didn't even amount to a tenth of what the Xu family had gained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan and the others finished distributing all the acquired items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to their agreement, the Xu family picked first, selecting the best of the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Azure Sect picked last. A trace of sorrow could be seen in the eyes of the elders gathered in the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think that the dignified Heavenly Azure Sect had fallen so far!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being replaced by the Xu family seemed to be merely a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange, disloyal thoughts began to sprout in the minds of some elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan formed hand seals, and the surrounding fog slowly began to disperse. Six streaks of light flew in from the surroundings and vanished into his storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The array has been dismissed. Everyone is free to leave. However, I have one matter to announce. Three months from now, my Cloudstream City will hold a grand auction and a high-level trade fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any of you have items that are difficult to offload, you may consign them at our auction. Golden Core cultivators can also barter to exchange for what they need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you fear being targeted for the items obtained from this Connate Secret Realm, you may head to Cloudstream City to digest your gains safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, at this high-level trade fair, my Xu family will bring out a Nascent Soul Formation Opportunity. Daoist friends in need should absolutely not miss it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment these words left his mouth, every Golden Core cultivator present revealed expressions of utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Lord of Ancient Nether City, the Family Heads of the Sima, Nie, and Chao families, True Lord Green Wood, True Lord Bingqian, and a host of other Golden Core Perfection cultivators all stared intently at Xu Chuan, their eyes bursting with intense light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Friend Withered Glory, are you speaking the truth?\" the Lord of Ancient Nether City asked in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Wentian looked thoughtful. He guessed that Xu Chuan was definitely taking out the heart of the ten-thousand-year Spirit-Awakening Tree. Since he had used it once himself, the remaining portion could indeed help another person resist their Inner Demon Tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How incredibly generous. But how could he bear to part with such a precious treasure?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What kind of scheme is he plotting now?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that my piece has been said, my Xu family will be taking our leave,\" Xu Chuan chuckled softly. \"Those holding our Xu family's token who have nowhere else to go may also head to my Cloudstream City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can exchange this batch of resources for cultivation pills, dharma tools, magic treasures, and the like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice trailed off, Moyue's figure blurred, transforming into a thousand-foot flood dragon. Like a mountain stretching across the sky, every scale on his body gleamed with a cold, metallic luster as his four underbelly claws loosely gripped the empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan floated upward like a wisp of cyan cloud, landing steadily onto the dragon's back just behind Moyue's extraordinary, towering horns. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his cyan robes completely unruffled by the heavenly winds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, figures flew up one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Deling, Ye Fan, Xu Deyue, and Xu Chongfei and his wife all took their places behind Xu Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan glanced downward and smiled faintly. \"Elder Fire Cloud, Elder Green Cliff, Elder Chen, come up together as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Family Head.\" The three bowed with cupped fists before flying onto the dragon's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Friend Fierce Sun, Daoist Friend Lei, you should join us as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Fierce Sun and Lei Wuji both had agreements with the Xu family and needed to hand over thirty percent of their gains to them. Thus, they did not refuse and stepped onto the dragon's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xu Chuan was about to have Moyue depart, Ye Fan cupped his fists and said, \"Honored Master, this disciple accepted a nominal disciple while in the secret realm. I ask that you do not blame me for acting presumptuously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan felt slightly surprised and asked, \"Who is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Feng,\" Ye Fan called out softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man flew out from the crowd, stepping on a flying sword. It was obvious that his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciple Ye Feng greets Master. Disciple greets Grandmaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Feng was dressed in blue robes, his black hair draped casually over his shoulders. He possessed a handsome appearance, and his eyes were brimming with deep excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people in the crowd immediately burst into widespread discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This man has practically ascended to heaven in a single step! To directly become Ye Fan's nominal disciple and True Lord Withered Glory's grand-disciple... such luck is truly enviable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed. Setting True Lord Withered Glory aside, even though Ye Fan has just achieved Core Formation, his reputation is already illustrious, and his strength is peerless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan carefully probed him with his divine sense, discovering that he possessed Earth Spirit Root aptitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honored Master, we encountered him by chance. He offered a high-grade Connate Spirit Object, a Profound Yellow Stone, as a trade to take one of us as his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Deling, Deyue, and I discussed it, and we finally decided that I would be the one to accept him,\" Ye Fan explained via voice transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that is the case. With Earth Spirit Root aptitude, he barely qualifies to be your disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By saying this, Xu Chuan was giving his approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan cupped his fists, \"Thank you, Honored Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan casually flicked his sleeve. A gentle streak of cyan rosy light rolled out like a bolt of silk, instantly sweeping Ye Feng up gracefully and setting him firmly on the dragon's back, standing alongside Chen Changge and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Grandmaster! Thank you, Master!\" Ye Feng's voice trembled with excitement. He hurriedly bowed to Xu Chuan and Ye Fan again, his heart surging with overwhelming emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, Moyue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR—!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue threw his head back and let out an earth-shattering roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying sonic boom whipped up monstrous waves, blasting pillars of water dozens of meters into the air before they crashed back down as a torrential downpour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many low-level cultivators were sent stumbling and swaying by the roar, nearly plummeting into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are...\" Xu Chuan shook his head helplessly and tapped his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue's thousand-foot dragon body snaked into the sky, transforming into a massive, sky-blotting dark blue rainbow. Wrapped in the sound of wind and thunder and a heavy mist of suspended water droplets, he pierced through the void toward Cloudstream City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed was so immense that he vanished into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only the slowly settling waves and a sky full of gently pattering rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nascent Soul Formation Opportunity that Xu Chuan had mentioned was truly shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single Golden Core Perfection cultivator was burning with ambition; naturally, they all wanted to step into the Nascent Soul stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nascent Soul Formation Opportunities were simply too rare. Now that clear news of one had appeared, none of them wanted to miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're leaving too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face ashen, Qi Tianxiong led the cultivators of the Greedy Wolf Sect away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following them were the Heavenly Azure Sect and the Mo family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining people exchanged looks with one another. Some pondered for a moment before silently heading in the direction Moyue had flown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Friend, let's go together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one is also heading to Cloudstream City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many chose to travel as companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, during this entire incident, the Xu family had acted the most justly among the four Nascent Soul factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cloudstream City naturally became their top choice for a place to \"digest\" their harvests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just rogue cultivators; even many demonic cultivators from Greedy Wolf Prefecture hurried toward Cloudstream City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhan and his group also took the opportunity to head openly toward Cloudstream City to \"report\" their duties to Xu Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyue returned to Cloudstream City. A thousand-foot flood dragon stretching across the sky, bringing its terrifying pressure down upon the mortal realm, nearly made the cultivators of Cloudstream City wet their pants in fright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was until Xu Chuan's voice echoed in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not panic, everyone. This shapeshifting great demon is named Moyue, and he is the Grand Elder of my Xu family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, the entire city descended into dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, an uproar erupted with cheers shaking the mountains and roaring like tsunamis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"G-Grand Elder? The Xu family actually recruited a Tier 4 shapeshifting great demon to be their Grand Elder?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could he be the great demon who just passed his tribulation transcendence at Cloud Lake not long ago? He's actually the Xu family's spirit beast?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xu family... the Xu family is going to soar straight into the heavens!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! Heaven blesses Cloudstream City! We finally have a true Nascent Soul powerhouse presiding over our city! Let's see who dares to look down on us in the future!\" an elder from a Foundation Establishment clan laughed proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Xu family possessing a shapeshifting great demon, and True Lord Withered Glory whose combat power rivals the Nascent Soul stage, the landscape of Heavenly Azure Prefecture is truly going to change!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from this, countless others were fiercely debating Moyue's origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, do you think this Demon Monarch Moyue was a hidden trump card that the Xu family allied with and nurtured long ago, or did True Lord Withered Glory subdue him recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think they most likely share some ancient history! Perhaps he has old ties with a certain ancestor of the Xu family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be... that this Demon Monarch Moyue is actually the contracted spirit beast of a Xu family ancestor, and they're just calling him a Grand Elder publicly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Xu family's background is deeply mysterious. Perhaps they were already a Nascent Soul aristocratic family before they came to Heavenly Azure Prefecture. If there was a Nascent Soul expert, taming a flood dragon demonic beast like this would be perfectly normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is highly possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the airspace above the Xu Residence, Moyue reverted into a human figure and flew down to Xu Chuan's courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lei family and True Lord Fierce Sun handed over thirty percent of their harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Family Head, I shall escort the Lei family elders back first, and then I will return to Cloudstream City,\" Lei Wuji cupped his fists and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take your time, Elder Lei. There is no need to rush. It won't be too late to return after you've settled all your affairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Family Head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Wuji then led his people away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Lord Fierce Sun said, \"Daoist Friend Withered Glory, we will also return to our sect first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\" Xu Chuan smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Chen, Elder Fire Cloud, Elder Green Cliff, the three of you may also go and handle your personal affairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few men cupped their fists in acknowledgment before exiting the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhu San, arrange for Ye Feng to stay in a guest room for now. We will hold his formal apprenticeship ceremony in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Family Head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Grandmaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Feng followed them out, Xu Chuan led the others toward his own courtyard, where they saw Moyue resting in his human form, lounging in a reclining chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Chuan's group approach, he said smugly, \"Living a life without the crushing pressure of an impending lifespan limit is truly comfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speechless, Xu Chuan ignored his bragging and glanced at the others. \"Alright, bring out all your harvests. Let's tally them up and categorize them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd brimmed with excitement. Even Moyue walked over curiously, eager to see just how many treasures the Xu family had hauled in this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Profound Soul Ice Lotus... not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"High-grade Connate Spirit Object 'Geng Metal', high-grade Connate Spirit Object 'Profound Yellow Stone'...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine Yang Vermillion Fruit, Purple Jade Fungus, Red Essence Copper Mother, Core Earth Spirit Milk, Phantom Dream Orchid...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Batch after batch of high-grade spirit grasses and materials—treasures that would spark bloody wars among Golden Core cultivators in the outside world and even catch the eye of Nascent Soul True Lords—were continuously named.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radiating diverse, multi-colored precious lights, a dazzling array of them floated in the air. A rough glance showed there were easily over several hundred varieties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, there were over a hundred Tier 4 rarities alone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The necessary materials for refining Core Formation Pills, Heavenly Spirit Pills, and other medicinal pills could form up to four or five complete sets. There were even numerous primary and supplementary materials for refining Tier 4 pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This did not even include the vastly larger quantities of ordinary Tier 2 and Tier 3 spirit grasses and materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their individual value couldn't compare to the high-grade treasures, they more than made up for it with their vast variety and staggering volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piled up in the empty clearing, they nearly formed a small mountain of treasures. Spiritual qi intertwined and rosy lights shimmered faintly, a sight that left the onlookers completely dazzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Moyue, a Tier 4 Demon Monarch, widened his dragon eyes at this moment and clicked his tongue. \"Good heavens... this trip definitely wasn't in vain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xu Deling took a step forward and brushed her delicate hand over the storage bracelet on her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of light, five crystalline spirit veins—sealed by special restrictions and shrunk to the size of silk ribbons—appeared resting in her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather, these are five spirit veins,\" she respectfully offered. \"One mid-grade Tier 4 Wood-attribute spirit vein, three high-grade Tier 3 spirit veins corresponding to Water, Wood, and Metal, and one low-grade Tier 3 Earth-attribute spirit vein.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Tier 4 spirit vein!\" Moyue's eyes brightened, practically drooling. \"What a pity it's Wood-attribute... if only it were Water-attribute!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been incredibly beneficial to my cultivation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was initially thrilled, but he soon let out a deep sigh of pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And there's this,\" Xu Deling added with a smile as she took out a ball of light. \"This Ice and Fire Spring has been sealed and collected by me. It's an incredible fortune that Chongfei and his wife discovered deep within the secret realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chongfei stepped forward, scratching his head with an embarrassed smile. \"Great-grandfather, your grandson has already absorbed the greatest fortune of Connate Qi into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't take it back out now. Please don't blame me for hiding it away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little rascal. It had an affinity with you, so taking it was meant to be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan patted his head and smiled faintly. \"With those two streams of Connate Qi, your foundation in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages will be more than enough to surpass your parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might even manage to comprehend a divine ability to the minor success stage while still in Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand! I will cultivate diligently without end and will never let down Great-grandfather's high hopes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling Xu Chuan's expectations, Xu Chongfei nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching from the side, Xu Deling's eyes were also filled with smiles as she said to Xu Chongfei, \"When you undergo Core Formation in the future, Auntie will personally forge a high-grade magic treasure as a congratulatory gift for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given her current attainments in artificing, she was confident that in ten or twenty years, she would be able to reliably forge high-grade magic treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not spoil him too much. In the future, when descendants of our Xu family complete Core Formation, the bestowment of treasures must follow clear laws, determined by their personal potential and contributions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan pondered for a moment before saying, \"Only those whose potential is evaluated as the highest tier will be bestowed a high-grade magic treasure after their Core Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those who undergo Divine Ability Core Formation through ordinary means, they may be given a mid-grade magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they rely on medicinal pills or Connate Spirit Objects as aids to complete Core Formation, then a low-grade magic treasure will suffice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan looked thoughtful and asked, \"Honored Master, how will this potential be judged?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Achieving a divine ability to minor success during Foundation Establishment, creating one's own divine ability, mastering the basics of multiple divine abilities, and so on. In short, they must display excellence far beyond merely forming a core using a divine ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Grandfather,\" Xu Deling nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are no longer any threats to our Xu family in Heavenly Azure Prefecture. Once the auction and trade fair conclude in three months, it will be the time for our all-out development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the requirements of the clan rules and the like must also be revised and reorganized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather is absolutely right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone cataloged these items, sorting them into their respective categories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit veins, spirit grasses, and the Ice and Fire Spring were personally handled by Xu Chuan. He placed the Ice and Fire Spring into the Xu Clan's Grotto-heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countless high-grade, rare, and previously uncollected spirit grasses were all planted inside the grotto-heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick piles of spirit soil brought back by Xu Chongfei and his wife also became nourishment for the grotto-heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extremely rare spiritual materials were also stored in the grotto-heaven, while the rest went straight into the Xu Residence's treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan was busily occupied for three to four whole days before he completely finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Xu Deling handed over the bodies of the slain cultivators and the corpses of demonic beasts to Xu Chuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators' bodies could be used to cultivate demonic dao creations, while the demonic beasts' essence blood, essence souls, and demonic cores could be refined into Demonic Spirit Pills to nurture the family's spirit beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the demonic beasts' scales, fur, claws, fangs, and the like, they were all taken by Xu Deling to serve as artificing materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Feng formally acknowledged his master, becoming Ye Fan's nominal disciple. He was assigned a solitary courtyard in the Inner City and provided with an allocation of cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these, he would soon be able to reach Peak Qi Condensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his aptitude, paired with the spirit vein conditions the Xu family possessed for attempting Foundation Establishment, it could be said that his chances of breaking through on his own were as high as seventy or eighty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfected Person Fire Cloud handed over everything he had gained on this trip to the Xu family, exchanging it for a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivation pills. All were of high grade, easily enough to allow his five disciples to cultivate to Foundation Establishment perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could be considered the absolute limit of what he could do as their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether they could accomplish Core Formation, that would depend on their own personal opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, he obtained three bottles of Golden Core stage cultivation pills: one bottle of high-grade Azure Cloud Pills and two bottles of mid-grade Purple Aura Pills. These were enough to save him sixty years of effort in reaching the peak of the mid-stage Golden Core realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfected Person Green Cliff also exchanged for three bottles of cultivation pills and a high-grade realm-breaking pill, a Golden Origin Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trip to the secret realm had deeply impressed upon him that personal realm and strength were the true foundation of everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this Golden Origin Pill, in less than half a month, he was certain to break through to the mid-stage Golden Core realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changge's exchange was similar to Perfected Person Green Cliff's: one realm-breaking pill, three bottles of cultivation pills, and a significant number of Foundation Establishment cultivation pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Chen Changge was not a lone wolf; he had the entire Chen family standing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these medicinal pills, the strength of the Chen family's Foundation Establishment cultivators could improve rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were also precious pills specifically used for nurturing genius disciples, which refined the mana of the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages and expanded the sea of qi and dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Chen family could produce another Golden Core stage cultivator in a few decades, they would finally be able to consider their position truly stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of the Xu family possessing a shapeshifting great demon had already spread across the entirety of Heavenly Azure Prefecture, causing a massive uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people even spoke of having personally witnessed Moyue's tribulation transcendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, news of the countless rare treasures and Connate Spirit Objects that had emerged from this Connate Secret Realm was circulating wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu family was naturally pushing the waves and adding to the billows to stoke the hype.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three months, the Xu family was preparing to host a grand auction in Cloudstream City that would last for three days and three nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the high-level cultivator trade fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the news, countless rogue cultivators flocked into the city. The Yellow Crane Tower and other restaurants and inns were completely packed as everyone eagerly awaited the start of the grand auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having hastily finished settling his family affairs and the distribution of the secret realm's harvests, Lei Wuji rushed back to Cloudstream City without a moment's rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With critical matters on his mind, he didn't dare delay for a second. The moment he entered the city, he went straight to the Xu family to pay a visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main hall of the Xu family was quaint and solemn, with wisps of sandalwood incense wafting through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan sat upright in the seat of honor, his expression placid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Wuji was ushered into the hall. Upon seeing Xu Chuan, he hurriedly cupped his fists in greeting. \"Family Head, please excuse my sudden intrusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Lei, there is no need for such formalities. Please sit,\" Xu Chuan gave a slight nod, signaling the attendants to serve tea. \"You must have pressing matters to discuss with me today. Feel free to speak your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Wuji took a deep breath. Dispensing with any small talk, he cut straight to the chase. \"Since the Family Head is a straightforward man, I will speak openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the Family Head mentioned that during the trade fair three months from now, a Nascent Soul Formation Opportunity might appear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused and stared at Xu Chuan with burning eyes, his tone earnest yet laced with urgency. \"My family's Ancestor is currently attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there truly is a treasure that can aid in Nascent Soul formation at that trade fair... my Lei family is willing to trade for it with everything we have!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, he took out a prepared jade slip and offered it with both hands. \"This is a list of everything my Lei family can currently offer, perhaps enough to catch the Xu family's eye. Please review it, Family Head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Chuan accepted the jade slip and swept it with his divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The items listed were indeed incredibly generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Connate Spirit Object, a Tier 3 spirit vein, several thousand-year-old rare spirit grasses and spirit woods that were nearly extinct in the outside world, and a complete Lightning-attribute divine ability passed down within the Lei family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As well as a twenty percent share of the Lei family's total profits over the next fifty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed utmost sincerity, essentially emptying out more than half of the Lei family's liquid assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xu Chuan merely read through it calmly before gently placing the jade slip back onto the table. \"I can guarantee that the item for Nascent Soul formation is absolutely real,\" he said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Xu family has never resorted to deceit in our business dealings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these items offered by the Lei family are not what my Xu family desires...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",6184,"2026-06-06T10:09:39.416Z",1,"novelbin.me","e381078886b9b06e365da812661dafc9da6a09d20714ad5a27ad94ba4f6ac7f9","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-335","starting-from-the-blood-lineage-genealogy-to-bui-chapter-333",454,null]
