Chapter 7: The Power of the Family Protection Divine Ability, Please, Ancestor!
Lin Xuan's promise to Lin Xiuqi was naturally not an exaggeration.
[Family Protection Divine Ability: Python Seed!
Divine Ability's Effect: Using the host's bloodline as a link, the power of heaven and earth as the seed, and the clan's luck as the root, the condensed Python Seed can greatly enhance the cultivation speed and talent of the one who obtains it. It enables cultivation at a speed far exceeding the usual rate, several times, or even tens of times faster.
Note: Those who receive the Python Seed will unconsciously view the host as their belief. After their death, their entire cultivation, talent, and spiritual power will be transformed into a Python Seed and feedback to the host.
The host can currently condense only one.]
Honestly, Lin Xuan was quite surprised after reading the system's introduction to the Family Protection Divine Ability. He had no doubt that the Python Seed could replace Second Rank Foundation Establishment resources required for cultivation.
Once he condensed it and handed it over to any Lin family member who had reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation, it would undoubtedly help them achieve Foundation Establishment in a short time.
However, this idea was merely a passing thought for Lin Xuan. No matter how important the Lin family was, he always placed his safety first. If he handed the Python Seed over to a Lin family member, and they broke through to Foundation Establishment before him, he would undoubtedly be placing himself in a dangerous situation, which he naturally would not do.
With countless thoughts in just a moment, Lin Xuan looked at the moon in the sky. Now, breaking through to Foundation Establishment was the most critical matter.New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com
He closed his eyes, and in an instant, Lin Xuan fell into slumber, beginning the absorption and refinement of the cultivation rewards from the system.
With Lin Xuan's every breath, the power of moonlight around the Spirit Pool gradually flowed towards the bottom of the pool. It circled around Lin Xuan's body, slowly being absorbed by him.
…
The early morning of the second day, east of Qingfeng Town.
On a narrow road completely opposite to Renhuai County, a man, woman, and a young girl, obviously a family of three, were slowly driving a cart. Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and hovered in front of them, looking coldly at the three.
"Thud!"
On the cart, the family of three was obviously frightened by the sudden intrusion. They hurriedly dismounted the cart and knelt in front of the figure. The leading middle-aged man was panicking as he kowtowed, and his wife and daughter followed suit.
"We greet the Immortal!"
"Qingfeng Town is sealed; didn't you hear?" Lin Shanhai asked coldly.
"I know, I know. Late last night, Steward Lin had already notified us. However, my father-in-law passed away a few days ago, and we had received the news, so I dared to...,"
Li Dan didn't continue and regretfully said, "I apologize, Immortal. I will take my wife and daughter back to Qingfeng Town immediately, and won't… Ugh!"
As Li Dan spoke, he suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. In a moment of confusion, he saw his own body and the lifeless bodies of his wife and daughter. His last thought was, "I chose a completely opposite direction to Renhuai County, and yet, did I still expose a flaw?"
Where did the flaw appear?
Of course, Li Dan could never have imagined that he hadn't shown any flaws, and Lin Shanhai hadn't suspected him. However, when it came to such a critical issue of the Lin family's survival, from today onwards, anyone leaving Qingfeng Town, whether innocent or not, would meet the same fate.
Lin Shanhai glanced at the three lifeless bodies that had separated and lingered for a moment on the little girl. Then, his expression turned cold again.
He had already given them a chance. The notification had been sent down last night, and these people chose to seek their own death. Blaming him was pointless.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Shanhai's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared. At the same time, similar scenes were constantly occurring around Qingfeng Town. The moment someone left Qingfeng Town, their fate was sealed.
Renhuai County was neither big nor small. There were thirteen towns and thirteen First Rank forces in the county. Each of them had placed their own spies in their respective areas of influence. The Lin family had also done this, so naturally, they had a deep understanding of this.
Therefore, regardless of whether they were innocent or not, it was better to kill the wrong person than to let one off. This was the best solution.
…
Renhuai County, Zhang Family.
Two days had passed since the night of annihilation. In the main hall of the Zhang Family, all the senior cultivators were present. In total, there were twelve of them.
The position of Zhang Family's elders required a cultivation level of at least the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation. This showed that the difference between First Rank and Second Rank forces wasn't just because of the existence of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Even the number of low-level cultivators and their combat power varied significantly. After a glance at everyone present, Zhang Buren reluctantly spoke, "Two days ago, you must all be aware of the actions in the clan. Now, two days have passed, and we haven't received any news from Qingfeng Town. No news sometimes is the worst news.
"Qingfeng Town has had some unforeseen changes. I am considering sending more clan members to investigate what happened. Who among you is willing to go? Regardless of the outcome, those who go will receive great merits, with a minimum of one thousand and a maximum of ten thousand contributions."
As Zhang Buren's words fell silent, the Zhang Family's grand hall was shrouded in silence. All the Zhang Family elders remained silent.
Despite Steward Zhang not holding the position of an elder, it was because he was deeply trusted by the ancestor, who had always kept him by his side.
Otherwise, with his cultivation level of half a step into Foundation Establishment, the entire Zhang Family, apart from the family head and the grand elder, wouldn't have been able to match him.
Such an existence fell at Qingfeng Town, and naturally, they didn't have the confidence that they would be safe. As high as the family head's rewards were, having a chance to survive was the real truth.
Seeing this, Zhang Buren's expression gradually darkened. On the side, the grand elder slowly spoke, "Family head, it's not their fault. Steward Zhang has disappeared, and there must be something suspicious on the Lin family's side. Sending people to investigate recklessly may lead to unnecessary losses for our Zhang Family's power.
"In my opinion, let's wait one more day. If there's still no news from Qingfeng Town, then we should invoke the ancestor."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Buren's brow furrowed, and then he looked at the silent group of elders. He slowly nodded and said, "Very well."
