Immortal Cultivation Family: Start By Accepting Dao Companions

Counting the spiritual stones, Chen Feng felt a wave of unworthiness.

After working hard for so long, he only earned this few spiritual stones. He could easily spend tens of thousands to buy medicinal materials and refine Foundation Building Pills, surpassing his savings of a hundred years.

Half of these were donated by kind-hearted people. When he thought about it, it was such an ironic situation.

However, after the expansion of the alchemy hall, the family's finances would also increase several times through the sale of pills.

Chen Feng looked towards the center of Origin Spirit County, where the only spiritual vein in the county existed.

"After this trip, it should belong to me as well."

Chen Feng thought to himself, knowing that the family's foundation would become much richer with the addition of the spiritual vein.

[Side mission announcement: Hidden currents surge, Li Kun of the Li family is preparing to break through to the later stage of Foundation Building. The family has given birth to its second Foundation Building cultivator, vowing to avenge the shame of the past.]

Just as Chen Feng and Xia Jiao set foot on the road to South Chu City, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Heh, the Li family." Chen Feng shook his head inwardly, knowing that he was no longer a match for them.

He had left them alone for so many years, partly because he was afraid of their retaliation before they died, and partly to prevent the other two major families in Origin Spirit County from feeling threatened.

It would be detrimental to him if they joined forces against him.

So he hid his edge, waiting for the right moment to make a stunning move.

However, Li Kun's promotion to the later stage of Foundation Building was indeed troublesome. Fortunately, even if he broke through, he wouldn't be able to enter the Chen family's territory.

Moreover, the family still had two Foundation Building experts.

The problem wasn't too big, and he didn't need to go back for the time being. As long as Chuwu and Wuzai were vigilant, it would be fine.

Thinking of this, a leaf with crooked and twisted runes appeared in Chen Feng's hand.

"Go!"

Activating his mana, the leaf fluttered a few times in the air and disappeared from sight.

"What is this?" Xia Jiao also noticed Chen Feng's little movement and looked at the fluttering leaf with curiosity.

"Just some tricks, don't worry about it, let's continue on our way."

Chen Feng laughed and shrugged it off. Only he knew about the matter with the thousand cypress tree.

After several years of cultivation, the thousand cypress tree had already reached several hundred years of age. Some of its leaves could be used.

For example, the one just now could be used as a means of communication.

It was truly amazing.

Xia Jiao didn't pursue the matter either, as everyone had their own secrets.

If one were to pry too much, wouldn't that be lacking in emotional intelligence?

Half an hour later, in the clan.

A small leaf transformed into a bird and landed in front of Chen Chuwu.

"Who's there!" Chen Chuwu sensed something approaching and abruptly stopped his cultivation, glaring fiercely.

"It's me." Chen Feng's voice came from the bird that had transformed from the thousand cypress tree. Chen Chuwu also felt his father's aura.

His face showed surprise, looking at the little bird like a curious baby.

"Father, what is this?" His gaze was fixed on the little bird.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a little trick for communication."

Chen Feng's words dispelled Chen Chuwu's thoughts. He had thought that his father had cultivated something and transformed into this form.

"Listen to me..."

After giving many instructions, the leaf fluttered up again and flew towards the horizon.

Chen Feng, who had already traveled one-third of the journey, received a message from Qian Baiye.

Among them, there was also a reply from Chen Chuwu.

"It's truly amazing," Chen Feng exclaimed, putting away the communication leaf and continuing on his way.

"The Great Chu territory is indeed vast. My Origin Spirit County is not too far from South Chu City, yet it took us two Foundation Building cultivators a whole day to travel only one-third of the distance."

Xia Jiao gave him a disdainful look. "That's not for certain. We are considered small in the Southern Region. The Imperial Region is even more vast and prosperous."

"But I'm also waiting for your speed, otherwise I would have arrived in two days."

Chen Feng rubbed his head and laughed.

Xia Jiao was right. The difference in their cultivation levels was evident, and she had indeed slowed down her pace significantly, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to see her back.

However, when Xia Jiao mentioned the Imperial Region, Chen Feng asked, "Have you been to the Imperial Region? What is it like there? Are there many powerful cultivators?"

He was curious about what the Imperial Region looked like. He had heard that Foundation Building cultivators were everywhere and Gold Core cultivators were as common as dogs.

Xia Jiao seemed to be lost in distant memories and ultimately shook her head without directly answering.

"It's not as terrifying as the rumors say. The talk about Foundation Building cultivators being everywhere and Gold Core cultivators being as common as dogs is nonsense. We don't have that many Gold Core cultivators in the entire Great Chu."

"But, there are indeed many Foundation Building cultivators. The powerful and influential run rampant there. A single word could mean death. It's better for us not to set foot there in this lifetime."

Chen Feng sensed the hidden emotions in Xia Jiao's words. She must have either been there before or come from there.

Chen Feng's expression darkened, and he thought of many things for a moment.

All sorts of melodramatic love and hate came to mind, like a destitute young man hiding with his royal wife, or a fallen noble's offspring fleeing to the south.

After all, Xia Jiao's temperament was truly outstanding, like an elegant iceberg, not at all like someone from an ordinary family.

Until now, Chen Feng had not seen her worry about cultivation techniques. Even Xia Qiu'er's cultivation technique was only half complete and extremely detailed.

However, since Xia Jiao didn't want to bring it up, he let it go with the wind.

Chen Feng also tactfully refrained from asking further. The two of them continued chatting aimlessly, gradually getting closer to South Chu City.

Finally, when they reached the city gate, they let out a sigh of relief and looked at the flying boats in the sky, saying with resentment, "We must buy a flying boat in the future. Otherwise, traveling will be too exhausting."

Xia Jiao didn't say anything. The two of them silently entered the city.

As two Foundation Building cultivators, the guards at the city gate respectfully called them seniors and let them pass.

After entering the city, the auction would begin in a few days.

The two of them found an inn to stay in, but they felt a slightly awkward atmosphere upon arrival.

Xia Jiao looked at the innkeeper's gaze as they checked in and felt that they were scrutinizing the two of them.

Of course, this was because women are generally more sensitive than men.

Just as Chen Feng was about to speak and arrange for two good rooms...

A voice filled with envy came from the entrance, "Fellow Daoist is truly fortunate to have found such a stunning partner."

At the door, a cultivator walked in, with one person on each side, and immediately looked at the elegant and cold Xia Jiao.

And at her side was Chen Feng, who was preparing to "book a room."

This made the atmosphere awkward once again. Chen Feng looked at the newcomer and his mouth twitched, afraid that he would say something outrageous.

He quickly said to the innkeeper, "Innkeeper, give me two top-grade rooms!"

The innkeeper looked at the two of them with some surprise and quickly arranged it.

"Oh, it seems Fellow Daoist hasn't conquered this icy beauty yet, so I..."

"Get lost!" Chen Feng released his aura and turned his cold eyes to the newcomer.

What the hell?!

Xia Jiao was about to speak, but seeing Chen Feng's reaction, she remained silent, which further improved Chen Feng's impression in her eyes.
