When a new day started in     Yuanshan Town , Master Qi was waiting at the entrance of the ancestral hall early. The Qi

family's cultivators entered the ancestral hall one after another to practice their daily routine. The Qi family cultivators meditated in the ancestral hall. Master Qi opened the formation and released spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was very weak because Yuanshan Town did not have a strong spiritual vein. After opening up fifty acres of spiritual fields, the weak spiritual vein had very little spiritual energy. The Qi family had to rely on the spirit gathering formation to collect that little spiritual energy.

After an hour, the practice ended, and Master Qi checked their cultivation one by one. Those who had improved their cultivation could get Master Qi's praise, and occasionally even a bottle of spirit gathering pills as a reward. If their cultivation stagnated, they would inevitably be scolded.

"Seventh brother, you bastard, your cultivation has not improved at all for six consecutive months..."

Today, the seventh brother of the Qi family was scolded again. He lowered his head and was scolded like a grandson. Master Qi scolded until he had no strength left. He waved his hand and told them to get out.

An old servant came in at this time, brought a cup of spiritual ginseng tea to Master Qi, and advised him, "Master, don't be too anxious. You can't rush into cultivation, otherwise it will ruin things."

"How can I not be anxious? Are there any decent descendants of the Qi family? In this way, when will our Qi family prosper? Back then, my Qi family, ah, let's not talk about it."

Master Qi said with a look of deep sorrow. Back then, his ancestor of the Qi family was also an inner sect foundation-building sect of the Five Elements Sect. Later, he was seriously injured in the process of hunting down evil cultivators again. Because his dantian was injured and he had no powerful elixir to heal his wounds, he missed the path to immortality.

After struggling in the Five Elements Sect for several years, he became discouraged and exchanged his merit points accumulated over decades for an Ascension Order. He then left the Five Elements Sect and lived and multiplied in Yuanshan Town.

The Qi family ancestor had many wives and concubines, and many children, but not many of them had spiritual roots. Moreover, their spiritual roots were not good, and their comprehension and bones were also mediocre. The Qi family ancestor gave up the idea of ​​using the Ascension Order, because he knew that if he did not have the qualifications, entering the Five Elements Sect would only waste his life. Before

his death, the Qi family ancestor warned his descendants that the Ascension Order was the only chance for the Qi family to turn things around, and it should not be used lightly. It must be used until a genius appeared in the Qi family.

Unexpectedly, for several generations, the Qi family did not have a so-called genius. Instead, they continued to sink and decline in the secular world.

Because cultivating immortals is too hard, day after day, year after year, and there may be no reward for the effort, but it is so comfortable to be lazy. With the status of the Qi family, it is also a top force among mortals, with no worries about food and drink, and countless women, why bother to practice so hard?

It is precisely because of the overall depravity of the Qi family that Master Qi is forced to urge them to practice every day, but even so, it has not brought any good development to the Qi family. Those who should be lazy are still lazy, just like the seventh brother just now, who is over fifty years old and has married several concubines. He is absurd in his own yard every day, so how can he have the mind to practice?

"Master, the second wife's third son is actually quite good. He has a calm personality, good comprehension, and is hardworking. He is still young and has not been taught badly by his uncles. He can be sent to the Five Elements Sect."

"No, the second wife's third son is quite good, but he only has three spiritual roots. The Five Elements Sect is not our Yuanshan Town. Three spiritual roots are nothing. Our Qi family does not have much strength to support him. It will be difficult to build a foundation when the time comes."

Master Qi glanced at the old servant. He knew that the old servant had received benefits from the second wife and came to blow him, but he was unwilling to agree. Three spiritual roots were nothing in the Five Elements Sect. Without the support of the family, it would be difficult to build a foundation. The Qi family had long since declined and could not provide much resources to support future generations. Therefore, Master Qi's requirement in his heart was at least two spiritual roots.

It doesn't matter if there is no one, then give birth. Female cultivators may not marry them casually, so they will find mortals. Anyway, the Qi family is the largest landlord in Yuanshan Town. There is no worry about not being able to raise children. If there are more children, there will naturally be genius heirs.

"Brother Lin, this is Yuanshan Town."

"Does the Qi family really have the Ascension Order?" "

Of course. My senior brother told me that the ancestor of the Qi family was once a promising disciple of the Five Elements Sect. Later, he was severely injured by an evil cultivator while hunting him, and his dantian was damaged. He could not gather enough money to buy elixirs of level four or above in a short period of time, which delayed his future. But he accumulated a lot of merit points on weekdays, so he exchanged them for an Ascension Order,"

said Zhang Ye. This is the suffering of having no background. If the dantian is injured, it can be cured if elixirs of level four or above are taken in time. However, elixirs of level four or above that can treat dantian injuries cost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, which is not something that everyone can afford. Most of the immortal practitioners, including disciples of the sect, can only be delayed in vain.

"Is the Qi family willing to sell it?"

"That depends on my ability. Brother Lin, rest assured, I will definitely get you the Immortal Ascension Order,"

Zhang Ye said. He had already found out that the Qi family had not had a foundation-building stage since that ancestor, and it had been more than two hundred years. The connections that the Qi family's ancestors had made had long been used up. Today, the Qi family had to sell it whether they wanted to or not.

"Okay, but I'm a very kind person. I'll buy it if I can, and it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher."

Lin Jiang said, looking at Zhang Ye's expression, he knew what he was planning. Lin Jiang thought he was not a good person, but he was not a wicked person either.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, let's go."

Zhang Ye nodded, and then the two flew to Yuanshan Town.

Yuanshan Town was just an ordinary mortal village, and the only family of immortal cultivators was the Qi family. After Zhang Ye entered the town, his spiritual consciousness was fully opened, and the people of the Qi family immediately felt it and hurriedly raised the family's defense formation.

"I am Qi Zhao, the head of the Qi family. I am honored to meet the two seniors. I wonder what the seniors are doing in Yuanshan Town."

Master Qi stood in the formation and looked at Zhang Ye and Lin Jiang. He was very nervous, but he still tried to stay calm.

"Old Qi, you want to stop us with a mere second-order formation? Release the formation, don't let me break it."

Zhang Ye showed a fierce look and shouted at Qi Zhao. Qi Zhao's face changed drastically. Now he was sure that they were coming for their Qi family. However, the Qi family was just a ruined family of immortal cultivators, and they had no treasures. How could they provoke two foundation-building seniors?

"Bang"

Master Qi hesitated for a while, and Zhang Ye was completely impatient. He directly made a move, which made the Qi family's defensive formation shake continuously. In the Qi family, women and children screamed immediately, and even the men were running around like headless flies.

"Don't fight, don't fight, senior, don't fight, I will release the formation now."

Master Qi was horrified. It was true that his family had a second-order formation, but it could not resist the foundation-building period at all.

Soon, Master Qi opened the formation, and Zhang Ye walked in with a swagger. Lin Jiang paused for a moment, and finally followed him in. Lin Jiang was afraid that the Qi family had an ambush, but when he thought of the size of the spirit beast bag, he was relieved. Even if the Qi family really had some trump cards, they were definitely not the opponent of the third-level monster.

Zhang Ye didn't know what it meant to be polite before using force. He went straight to the point and asked for the Qi family's Ascension Order, which made Master Qi's face paler. This Ascension Order was the only chance for the Qi family to rise.

"Master Qi, don't panic. We are not bad people. I want to buy the Ascension Order, not rob it."

"Senior, our Ascension Order was sold many years ago,"

Master Qi said hurriedly. Lin Jiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he looked at Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye suddenly showed a fierce look, and then his consciousness enveloped Master Qi.

Master Qi instantly felt like he had fallen into an icy cave, with all the hair on his body standing up. The terrifying murderous intent almost broke his spirit.

"No, no, spare me, senior."

"Mr. Qi, I won't play tricks with you. I'll give you one last chance. Do you still have the Ascension Order? If you dare to lie, I'll kill your whole family."

"Yes, it's really here."

Master Qi completely collapsed. The Qi family, young and old, were all here. If they were killed, how could they rise?

Lin Jiang glanced at the people of the Qi family. They were all timid and no one dared to look him in the eye. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he ended up being a bad guy.

In this world of cultivating immortals, weakness is the original sin.

"Grandpa Qi, I've said before, it's buying, not robbing"

"Sell, we sell, senior, we're not robbing"

"Then Grandpa Qi, name a price"

"This..."

"You've never sold anything, so you probably don't know how to name a price. How about this, I'll make the offer?"

"Okay, okay"

What else can Grandpa Qi do now? Even if Lin Jiang offers one spirit stone, he has to grit his teeth and agree.

"I'll offer a lower-grade Xuan-level martial arts technique, which can reach the Nascent Soul stage at most, suitable for cultivation of gold and fire spiritual roots..."

"Okay, sell it"

"No hurry, I haven't finished yet, in addition to the martial arts technique, I'll give you thirty second-level talismans, ten bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills, and a set of second-level defensive formations, which are better than what you have now, and they're okay..."

"Brother Lin"

Zhang Ye couldn't stand it anymore. What are you doing? We're here as robbers, and you're really here to do business.

"Brother Zhang, forget it. A little money is not worth mentioning."

"Okay, okay, you decide."

"I will add 300 runes, from the first to the second level, and a copy of the master's perception of the rune painter. I will not give you other spiritual stones. Too much money is not a good thing for your Qi family."

Lin Jiang said. The child took gold in the downtown, which was a suicidal behavior. These things are not useful to everyone, and they can directly enhance their combat effectiveness and defense.

Moreover, Lin Jiang gave a lot. The value of the Xuan-level skills is not low. The second-level spiritual talismans are also worth thousands of spiritual stones. With other things, the total value is more than 8,000 spiritual stones. For example, runes, you have to spend money to collect them.

Of course, these things are not worth mentioning to Lin Jiang. The skills were found in the storage bag of some unlucky guy. The spiritual talismans were drawn by himself. The formation was taken down from the cave before. The runes are of no use to him.

Lin Jiang did not ask for anything else for this price, just to avoid feeling too guilty.
