Qing State, Lu Family Entrance

The entrance to the Lu Family was originally the entrance to the Infinite Palace. It was grand and magnificent, a sight of Qing State. However, there was no trace of the Infinite Palace now. Inside and out, it exuded the charm of an ancient aristocratic family.

The Lu Family Entrance was decked with lights and decorations today. Disciples were repeatedly cleaning the road. It seemed that the entire Lu Family was waiting for someone.

After a while, a large flying vessel approached from afar. Lu Family Ancestor and others opened the formation and allowed the vessel to land inside the entrance. Xu Mingyue led a group of disciples into the Lu Family Entrance.

"Elder Lu"

"Old Master Xu"

Xu Mingyue and Lu Family Ancestor bowed, while the other three cultivators also bowed.

After a simple greeting, everyone arrived at the Lu family’s ancestral hall and had a friendly discussion. Today is the day of alliance between the Spiritual Moon Sect and the Qing State’s four major families.

In previous years, the Spiritual Moon Sect was chasing after the traitor Xiao Lingyue, but was intercepted by Lin Batian in the Wilderness. Lin Batian pretended to be from the Lin family of the Qing State. Naturally, the Spiritual Moon Sect wanted an explanation from the Lin family.

Once this question was asked, they naturally learned of Lin Batian’s identity. The Spiritual Moon Sect felt frustrated. They couldn’t defeat the Shenmu Sect, and now it seemed like they couldn’t even capture the remnants of the Lin family. They were about to lose face again.

Seeing this, the Lin family’s head, Lin Xuwen, saw it as an opportunity and intentionally cooperated with the Spiritual Moon Sect. They had multiple contacts because they both had a common enemy. They gradually became familiar with each other.

However, soon the person in contact with the Spiritual Moon Sect changed from the Lin family to the Lu family and the Yu family. The four major families were now in charge because they had a Tao Achieving Ancestor, while the Lin family and the Chen family no longer had one.

Nowadays, the four major families actually need allies. They have been in existence for decades. Initially, they were busy consolidating their territories and dealing with the remnants of the four major sects. Then, for no reason, they offended the Shenmu Sect before making any friends.

This is not beneficial for the four major families. Although their territories are vast and they have various resources, it is not conducive to development if they are confined to one place. The four major families need to go out and make more friends.

So, under the intentional friendship of the four major families, their relationship with the Spiritual Moon Sect progressed rapidly.

And it is the same for the Spiritual Moon Sect, they also need allies. Among the top powers, the Spiritual Moon Sect is relatively weak. That’s why they wanted to form an alliance with the Shenmu Sect. Now that they have become estranged from the Shenmu Sect, they need allies even more. The appearance of the four major families in the Qing State brought great joy to the Spiritual Moon Sect because the four major families are stronger than the Shenmu Sect and can bring them more benefits.

After negotiations, the two sides quickly agreed on the alliance’s general scope. The first priority is to jointly deal with Lin Batian and Xiao Lingyue, who are enemies to both sides. No need to say more.

The second priority is to open up trade between each other’s territories. The entire Qing State is open to the Spiritual Moon Sect, allowing their businesses to establish and providing some preferential policies, and vice versa, the Spiritual Moon Sect will also open their markets.

Of course, in this respect, the four major families are at a disadvantage. The size of the Spiritual Moon Sect cannot be compared to the Qing State. Therefore, the Spiritual Moon Sect agrees to persuade forces that are on good terms with them to be friends with the Qing State, even if they are not allies and not in a hostile state.

With these two points achieved, everything else is trivial, like cooperation and exchange between disciples from both sides, those are just secondary matters.

"Lord Xu, come and take a look. These are the outstanding young talents among our four families’ descendants. They can be considered as talented youth. I wonder if your sect has any that catch your eye. How about we strengthen our friendship even more?"

In the end, Lu Family Ancestor gave a signal, and dozens of handsome young men walked in from outside. They were all outstanding descendants of the four families.

Xu Mingyue’s expression stiffened. She glanced at these juniors, all of them were men. She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart: all men in the world are the same, trying to take advantage of women. It’s truly hateful. Each and every ally has intentions towards her female disciples. Won’t the female disciples painstakingly cultivated by her Spiritual Moon Sect all become someone else’s daughters-in-law?

No matter how Xu Mingyue felt inside, he quickly put on a smile and said. Alright, alright. It would be wonderful if our families can be connected through marriage. I have dozens of female disciples with me. Why not let them go out and see if they find someone they like the most?

"This Gu Pingbo is truly a genius in alchemy. Although we are both fifth-tier Alchemists, his alchemy skills are better than mine."

In Shenmu City, Lin Dongyan held a alchemy handbook and said to Lin Jiang, he was attracted by the content in Lin Jiang’s alchemy handbook.

"How about it, can I help you break through to become a sixth-tier Alchemist?"

"I could have already made sixth-tier elixirs, but the success rate is extremely low because my spiritual consciousness and spiritual power are not strong enough. I have to wait until I break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"So that means it’s useless then, just give it back to me."

"Come on, Uncle, you don’t practice alchemy anyway. This handbook is useless to you, but it is priceless to me."

"Hehe, aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"If you have trouble, go to Uncle Uncle first, why come to me?"

Lin Dongyan smiled and said. This note is Gu Pingbo’s experience in alchemy, and there are many things in it that are quite secret. They come from the Danxia Sect, the sect behind Gu Pingbo.

The Danxia Sect is another powerful force in the central region. Its founder is famous for his alchemy. Since then, the Danxia Sect has passed down this tradition and is still renowned for its alchemy.

Nowadays, all alchemy in the cultivation world is influenced by the Danxia Sect. Their theories are very powerful and have created many elixirs. In Gu Pingbo’s note, there is some content related to this. At first, Lin Dongyan was afraid of getting into trouble with the Danxia Sect by reading this note, but he couldn’t resist the temptation of its contents.

For someone obsessed with alchemy, the things here are like a hungry ghost seeing a beautiful woman, especially when she’s completely naked.

"Alright, according to what we agreed before, come live with me for thirty years and spend three months each year making elixirs for me."

"Sounds good, sounds good. It won’t just be me, but my nephews, brothers, and cousins will also come."

"Oh, buy one get one free?"

"Buy one, get many. At least twenty people. In addition, there will also be artisans, talisman makers, and formation masters coming. How about that? Isn’t my family treating you well?"

"Don’t take my share."

Lin Jiang became nervous. The Lin family is making such a big move, could it be that they want his property? They want him to work for free, and he won’t get anything in return?

"Look at our uncle, so selfish. How could the mighty Lin family take away their own descendants’ inheritance?"

"I’m afraid the family head will say, ‘You are mine, and what’s mine is still mine.’"

"Underestimating the family head, aren’t we?"

"Let’s first put it in writing. The workers are all family members, so don’t worry, I will not cheat you."

"No problem. We should give them the same treatment as Lin Cunjian and the others in the past."

Lin Dongyan said, and Lin Jiang couldn’t help but smile. Good nephew, I’ve been waiting to hear that from you. You really are my good nephew.

In the following weeks, the Lin family members slowly started moving to Shenmu City. But when Lin Jiang looked at the crowded yards, he couldn’t help but lose his smile.

He felt cheated, he thought the Lin family was foolish, but in fact, the Lin family saw him as a scapegoat. Oh, wait, they saw him as a nanny, even a bunch of seven or eight-year-old kids came along.

"Lin Dongyan, you tell me if something big is going to happen with the Lin family again."

Lin Jiang immediately found Lin Dongyan and questioned him. Lin Jiang realized that something was not right.
