Family Cultivation: Randomly refreshes information about a cultivation opportunity.

Chapter 74. Ninth Sister Zhang Xuanli pays respects to Seventh Sister-in-law.

The night was as dark as ink. Zhang Xuanchen stood quietly at the bow of the flying boat, looking up at the stars in the sky.

Twelve glass lamps on the side of the ship lit up, their soft light illuminating the reddish-gold mineral hull.

The flying boat cut through the clouds, below which stretched the dark, undulating mountain shadows, and the scattered lights among the mountains were as fleeting as fallen stars.

Luo Lingshuang slowly stepped out of the boat and stood beside Zhang Xuanchen, gazing at the distant sky. The wind made her light blue dress flutter slightly, and occasionally a spirit bird would fly through the clouds, emitting a clear cry.

It creates a beautiful picture.

"What are you thinking about?" Luo Lingshuang's melodious voice rang out.

"I'm thinking about how to protect everything I have now in this cruel world of cultivation."

His journey to the secret realm made him understand even more the cruelty of the cultivation world.

You can't just live a peaceful and stable life if you want to.

Disaster strikes without warning.

Just like this time, the place of opportunity that 50,000 living beings longed for was actually nothing more than a game of chess played by a demon.

If Li Xuanlong hadn't been willing to sacrifice himself, they would all have died inside.

Fortunately, Li Xuanlong used his abilities to teleport him and Luo Lingshuang to a deserted island before he died.

No one except the two of them knew what kind of inheritance he had received.

Even the family's higher-ups only had some guesses.

There are no safety issues.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Luo Lingshuang fell into a brief silence.

If I had a clansman like him, I'd probably think the same way.

After a moment, he turned to look at that handsome profile, just like the reader's, and spoke again:

"Why think so much? Just work hard to become stronger. With strength, you will naturally eliminate all evil spirits."

"Yes, I'm overthinking it."

Zhang Xuanchen looked at the full moon in the sky, his eyes filled with a desire to become stronger.

Boo!

A sharp cry rang out across the sky, followed by a four-eyed demon eagle with a wingspan of tens of meters rushing toward the airship at top speed.

The demonic aura of the peak Foundation Establishment stage continued to spread.

"Hmph! You beast! You're courting death!"

Inside the airship cabin, Zhang Chongxian, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, suddenly opened his eyes.

With a cold snort, he instantly appeared above the flying boat.

"Nine Heavenly Golden Sword! Fall!"

Clang!

A sword shadow, several tens of feet long, suddenly appeared in the dark sky.

The light illuminated the sky.

The terrifying sword energy rendered the four-eyed demon eagle immobile, and with a sword cry, it pierced right through it.

Then, he stretched out his right hand, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed out, directly drawing the corpse back.

Looking at the monster corpse in his hand, Zhang Chongxian nodded in satisfaction.

"The four eyes can be given to the ancestral army for alchemy, and the meat can be used as a reward to improve the diet of the clansmen. Not bad, not bad."

Zhang Xuanchen's eyes lit up as he looked at the demonic beast in the ancestor's hand.

He has already cultivated the Divine Dragon Body Technique to the mid-stage of the second level. To advance further, he needs the essence blood of a second-level late stage or higher demon beast or a body-tempering spiritual item.

He flashed to Zhang Chongxian's side.

He rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Ancestor, this demon beast's essence blood is of great use to me. Can you give it to me?"

"Haha, why not?"

Zhang Chongxian didn't ask him what he wanted the demon beast's blood essence for. He simply took out a porcelain bottle and forced the blood essence out of the four-eyed demon eagle's body.

Despite its large size, this monster actually has very little essence blood.

It's about one liter.

After handing the porcelain bottle to Zhang Xuanchen, Zhang Chongxian asked, "Little Chen, do you really need the essence blood of a demon beast?"

Upon hearing the ancestor's question, Zhang Xuanchen nodded. "I obtained a body-refining technique in the secret realm. It's very powerful, but it's extremely painful to cultivate, and it requires a large amount of demon beast essence blood and body-tempering spiritual items."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongxian nodded and said, "Alright, anyway, I still need a few years before I break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm."

During this time, I will find opportunities to enter the Purple Cloud Mountain Range or the Azure Nether Mountain Range to hunt some demonic beasts for your cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen was deeply moved and very happy.

After all, his current strength is limited, making it extremely difficult for him to hunt down demonic beasts at the late Foundation Establishment stage or above.

But it wasn't difficult for Zhang Chongxian.

Almost one sword kill.

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Zhang Chongxian waved his hand, "No need to thank me, we're all family, don't mention it. I'm just killing time anyway. By the way, what level of demon beast blood do you need?"

"Currently, we need the essence blood of demonic beasts at the late Foundation Establishment stage or above. Mid-Foundation Establishment essence blood is also acceptable, but the effect is not as good."

"Oh? You're quite something, kid. Looks like you've had a good stroke of luck. No wonder your energy and blood are so abundant. How much do you need?"

"The more the better."

"Hahaha, you little brat, alright, I'll remember that."

After saying that, he grabbed Zhang Xuanchen by the collar and chased after the flying boat that had gone far away.

……

Two days later.

The group returned to the Zhang family's residence.

"Oh, Seventh Brother, you're finally back."

Zhang Xuanchen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl with a high ponytail wearing a light blue gauze dress skipping and hopping over.

She grabbed his arm, her face beaming with smiles.

The moment Zhang Xuanchen sensed the girl's cultivation level, he laughed and said, "Ninth Sister, not bad! It's been a year and a half since we last met, and you're almost at the sixth level of Qi Refining."

"Excellent, excellent, keep it up, you're likely to achieve foundational mastery by age thirty."

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's praise, Zhang Xuanli said:

"That's right, that's right."

He then released Zhang Xuanchen's arm and bowed to the others in turn.

Finally, he looked at the aloof girl standing behind Zhang Xuanchen, who resembled a fairy descended from heaven, and fell silent.

A pair of bright, large eyes darted back and forth between Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang.

He suddenly bowed respectfully, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly:

"Ninth Sister Zhang Xuanli greets Seventh Sister-in-law."

Zhang Xuanchen, who had been smiling, felt a sudden tightness in his chest and his eyes widened abruptly.

After thinking for a long time, this sentence suddenly popped into my head!

What are you trying to do?

Do you want to make Brother Seven so embarrassed?

It hit Zhang Xuanli on the head with a thud.

"Hey~ What are you doing~"

"Seventh Sister-in-law, look at him! He just got back and he's already hitting me."

As she spoke, she walked over to Luo Lingshuang's side and complained with a wronged expression.

Zhang Xuanchen was stunned by the whole set of movements.

No? When did she become your seventh sister-in-law?

How come I didn't know?

What shocked Zhang Xuanchen even more was that Luo Lingshuang wasn't angry.

Instead, he reached out and rubbed Zhang Xuanli's head.

His face was full of doting affection as he pointed at Zhang Xuanchen and said softly:

"Go, knock him back. He can't beat me, he won't dare fight back."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanli's eyes revealed excitement.

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and now she could finally "avenge her grievances".

It feels so good to have someone back you up.

He quickly approached Zhang Xuanchen, met his warning gaze, and gently tapped him.

Then he quickly came up behind Luo Lingshuang.

He looked at Seventh Brother with a sly expression.

Zhang Xuanchen and Luo Lingshuang exchanged a glance, then looked at Zhang Chongxian, Lin Wanqing, and the others who were standing to the side with a maternal smile on their faces, watching the whole thing unfold.

His face was filled with helplessness.

Are you kidding me?

How could he not understand Luo Lingshuang's thoughts?

Logically speaking, a normal girl would at least show a shy expression if she wasn't angry when misunderstood by a boy's family.

Then he hurriedly offered an explanation.

What's wrong with her?

Why are you so calm?

The key point is that he even joked around with Zhang Xuanli.

Really... really... still has a childlike heart.
