Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

Apart from Yuanyang Town, Renhuai County, there were also Pingqiu Town, Haimen Town, Jiangsong Town…

Those who could become the leaders of First Rank forces, regardless of their feelings toward the Lin family, quickly decided to attend the trip to Azure Heaven Mountain three days later.

…

In Azure Heaven Market,

In front of a shop, a group of people had gathered, creating quite a commotion. In the center of the crowd were three men in black, emanating a sinister aura. They were currently staring at an old man at the ninth layer of Qi Condensation with unfriendly expressions.

Behind the old man were several servants and attendants, dressed in the attire of the third and fourth layers of Qi Condensation, both young men and women.

"Gentlemen, this hundred-year Spirit Ginseng is a First Rank item, worth over eight hundred spirit stones, a treasure of our store. Seeing that you gentlemen are at the ninth layer of Qi Condensation, if it were other items in the shop, I wouldn't mind giving them to you for free to consider it as making friends with you.

"But I can't make the call for this hundred-year Spirit Ginseng. Could you gentlemen please consider the reputation of the Jiang family from Jiangsong Town and give us a little face?"

Jiang Wuyi looked at the three men at the ninth layer of Qi Condensation with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Joke. Trying to use the Jiang family to pressure us, my big brother just gave you nine hundred spirit stones a moment ago. Now that you won't give us the hundred-year Spirit Ginseng, you still have the nerve to talk!"

One of the three men in the sinister trio, the one on the left with a scar on his face, sneered.

Among the onlookers, the people were baffled by the words of the sinister trio. They found it hard to believe what they were saying. The Jiang family had been running their business in Azure Heaven Market for many years, and their reputation had always been good.

Moreover, even if they wanted to take advantage of others because of their strength, who in their right mind would provoke three Ninth Layer Qi cultivators for a mere hundred-year Spirit Ginseng?

At this moment, some people had already identified the identity of the sinister trio. They were the Mo Clan's Three Evils, who were scattered cultivators active in various places in Tianyuan Mansion. They had committed many crimes such as robbery and bullying.

Not far from Jiang's store, at the entrance of a shop that sold talismans, three people were also watching. This shop belonged to the Alchemy and Talisman Gate of Pingqiu Town.

In Azure Heaven Market, there were a total of thirteen similar shops, all belonging to First Rank forces under Renhuai County.

A middle-aged man at the eighth layer of Qi Condensation, obviously the person in charge of the Alchemy and Talisman Gate here, was behind him, accompanied by a young man and woman at the fourth and fifth layers of Qi Condensation.

"Elder You, these three fellows have no shame. The Jiang family is running a legitimate business, so it's unlikely they would act as they claim, wanting to freeload a hundred-year Spirit Ginseng. Besides, this is Lin's territory. Are they not afraid of causing trouble with the Lin family by behaving so badly?"

A young woman in her twenties, with her cultivation at the fourth or fifth layer of Qi, looked at the scene in disgust.

Elder You, when he heard her words, smiled. "They're acting this way because they're well aware of the situation. Besides the senior of the Lin family, there are fewer than twenty other cultivators.

"There's news that Lin Shanhai, the second son of the Lin family, has left Renhuai County and is heading towards Tianyuan Mansion. Right now, on Azure Heaven Mountain, the Lin family only has two cultivators at the ninth layer of Qi. Do you understand?"

"Even so, aren't they afraid of one of the senior Lin family members stepping in?" the young man couldn't help but ask. In the presence of a Foundation Establishment Realm, the three people before their eyes were no different from ants.

"Do you think it's worth calling upon a Foundation Establishment Realm Senior for a hundred-year Spirit Ginseng?" Elder You asked with a cryptic tone.

The young man was left speechless. No matter what the relationship between the Lin family and the Foundation Establishment Realm Expert was, they were undoubtedly better off relying on their own strength. Calling upon a Foundation Establishment Realm Monster Python was not worth it for a single Spirit Ginseng.

Indeed, no matter how you look at it, it's not worth it.

"These Three Evils of the Mo Clan saw this very point, is that why they tried to take advantage of the Jiang family?"

A young woman beside them spoke up.

Elder You shook his head, his gaze flickering with a cold light as he looked into the distance.

"Don't worry, The Thirteen… no, Twelve families in this market are connected, and if the Lin family doesn't make a move in the end, we will. These three brothers can't turn the tables.

"Right now, we're just waiting, waiting to see if the Lin family can resolve this and how they resolve it. This also affects our future attitude towards the Lin family."

At his words, the young man and woman exchanged glances, amazed by the complexity of what they considered a simple matter. Clearly, whether the Lin family can resolve it in the end, whether they rely on themselves or on the Senior Monster Python, each corresponds to different power and attitude.

…

"No matter how you try to weasel out of it, our nine hundred spirit stones are still in this shop. If you're not guilty, let everyone see if there are nine hundred spirit stones in this shop!"

Among the crowd, the rightmost member of the Mo Clan's Three Evils, a sinister-looking man in black, spoke up.

Jiang Wuyi chuckled, "We're running a business. At the end of the month today, we've accumulated all the spirit stones this shop has earned in the past month, including the capital and profits. Naturally, we have nine hundred spirit stones. But you three want to act unreasonably with this, and that's not acceptable!"

"In other words, old man, you've made up your mind to embezzle the nine hundred spirit stones that belong to our three brothers, haven't you?"

In the middle, the leader of the Mo Clan's Three Evils stared at Jiang Wuyi, his tone icy.

"Buzz!"

The aura of a half-step Foundation Establishment suddenly erupted from his body.

In the market, everyone's faces changed at once. They hadn't expected the leader of the Mo Clan's Three Evils to break through to the half-step Foundation Establishment. In an instant, some of the older people reacted.

No wonder, no wonder the Mo Clan's Three Evils dared to cause trouble for the Jiang family. After all, even if the Lin family wasn't powerful, the Jiang family, relying on the resources of growing spiritual herbs, also had five cultivators at the ninth layer of Qi Condensation.

"Boom!"

However, before everyone had time to be astonished, a power ten times greater than the previous one suddenly erupted from the direction of Azure Heaven Mountain, directly suppressing the aura of everyone in the market.

Everyone held back their shock and turned to look in the direction of Azure Heaven Mountain. They saw a figure moving swiftly toward Azure Heaven Market, crossing a hundred meters in a single step, as if teleporting.
