Chapter 53: They've got their eyes on the Jian family's precious child!
Su Yongheng certainly wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. Besides, he was already too busy guarding the spirit stone mine with his son and daughter-in-law.
Furthermore, if Chu Feng is unable to cultivate, he will not gain the respect of others. That's how the cultivation world is, and no one can change this situation or protect him.
You can protect someone for a while, but not forever.
The law of the jungle prevails, and survival of the fittest applies. To gain recognition and respect from others, you must make yourself strong.
Whether strong or weak, every cultivator, and even every mortal, must go through this process.
Su Yongquan, Su Yongheng, who hasn't been bullied as a child? If you can't beat someone, can you blame them for insulting you?
Weakness is the original sin; becoming strong is the truth.
Chu Feng smiled and helped Su Yongheng up, saying, "Second Master, you don't need to be like this. These were all minor matters in the past. Let them go with the wind. After all, we are family."
"Chu Feng, thank you for your generosity!" Su Juncai's father, Su Bing, and mother, Mo Yunyan, both came up to thank Chu Feng.
Su Yongquan laughed and said, "We're all family, so let's not be so formal. We should be harmonious and peaceful, that's what makes a family. Everyone, please sit down, let's discuss this and see if there's anything we've forgotten."
“Brother, the spirit stone mine, shops, and real estate have all been successfully transferred, and we can leave Julu City at any time. However, where should we settle down?” Su Yongheng asked.
Su Yongheng has always followed his elder brother's lead. He does whatever Su Yongquan tells him to do.
Of course, the reason why the Su family is thriving in Julu City is all thanks to Su Yongquan.
"Xiao Feng, what do you think?" Su Yongquan looked at Chu Feng.
"Master, Master Wu of Danlou has arrived!" Suddenly, a guard ran up to report.
"Please come in quickly!" Su Yongquan hurriedly stood up and led the Su family out to greet them.
The Pill Pavilion is a behemoth. At present, Su Yong only knows that the Pill Pavilion Master, Wu Heng, has a good relationship with Chu Feng, but he doesn't know the specifics.
"Grandpa Su, this is Elder Wen from Danlou in the county town. Elder Wen, these are all Young Master Chu's family members..." Wu Heng introduced them one by one.
As the head of Danlou, he is naturally a very shrewd and sophisticated person. Judging from Wen Yixi's demeanor, Danlou and Chu Feng will probably be dealing with each other for a long time.
Wen Yixi laughed and said, "Patriarch Su, I've heard so much about you. Brother Chu, in just a few days you've broken through to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage. I've never seen such a heaven-defying genius as you!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Heng was also dumbfounded. How could this be cultivated? Had he somehow cultivated something that belonged to a dog? This was too bizarre!
For Wen Yixi, the fact that he even gave Su Yongquan a greeting was already a favor to Chu Feng, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator, a Venerable level being, and a figure revered by millions.
So, he only greeted Su Yongquan, and ignored the rest of the Su family members. He was there to see Chu Feng.
Chu Feng laughed and said, "Brother Wen, you flatter me. I've spent over ten million spirit stones these past few days. Please come inside to talk, Brother Wen."
Hearing the conversation between Wen Yixi and Chu Feng, the Su family members were speechless, not knowing what to say and unable to get a word in edgewise!
Moreover, the Su family was also shocked. How could Chu Feng have so many spirit stones, spending over ten million spirit stones so casually?
After transferring the spirit stone mine, iron mine, and shops, and also selling the Su family's house, plus the Su family's savings over the years, the Su family still couldn't come up with ten million spirit stones!
I'm truly numb now.
As soon as everyone sat down according to their status, Wen Yixi couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Chu, are you ready? We should set off now, since we'll be delayed on the road."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Brother Wen, I'm planning to take the Su family to the prefectural city with me. Do you think you can make the arrangements?"
Wen Yixi laughed loudly, "It's a trivial matter, what's the big deal? Let's go together. Once we get to the prefectural city, leave everything to me, brother."
Chu Feng said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, brother. However, before I go to the prefectural city, I have a little thing to take care of, which will take a while. I'll come to the Pill Pavilion to find you after I'm done with my business."
The Jian family still has an egg, and Chu Feng plans to go check it out. If the Jian family is willing to trade, he wouldn't mind giving them some things in return. Of course, if they disagree, Chu Feng won't mind either.
That egg from the Jian family couldn't possibly be a divine beast egg, could it? If it is, then it just shows how incredibly powerful the Samsara Sect is.
"Brother Chu, do you need my help?" Wen Yixi asked.
Chu Feng is definitely a once-in-a-millennium genius. At least, Wen Yixi has never heard of any cultivator who, during the Foundation Establishment stage, could break through four minor realms in two days.
If word of this gets out, countless powerful forces will flock to him, wanting to recruit Chu Feng as their disciple.
Therefore, Wen Yixi planned to try her best to befriend Chu Feng. Offering help in times of need is always more likely to be remembered.
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Wen. I can handle this myself."
The affairs of the Samsara Sect should not be known to too many people.
Upon arriving at the Jian family's residence, Chu Feng discovered that the entrance was deserted, with hardly any servants or guards.
"Are you the son-in-law of the Su family? That Young Master Chu?" A guard came up to ask as they reached the door.
"I am Chu Feng. Please inform your family head that I need to speak with him," Chu Feng said.
"Please invite Young Master Chu in for a chat." A dignified voice came from inside, but no one could be seen.
Chu Feng ignored him and followed the servants who led the way.
Compared to the Chu family, the Jian family was much smaller, but its grandeur was remarkable. The house was tall and spacious, with dragon, phoenix, and qilin images carved on the pillars, giving it an ancient feel.
Upon entering the hall, I saw three people: an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man practicing swordsmanship.
Even after Chu Feng entered, the young man continued practicing his swordsmanship meticulously.
The young man's sword strikes were as light as a feather one moment and as heavy as a mountain the next. His sword moves were fluid and natural, like flowing water, without the slightest hint of strain.
"What talent!" Chu Feng couldn't help but admire in his heart. If this boy met a wise teacher, he could become a great man.
This young man was the same age as Chu Feng, only eighteen years old this year. However, his cultivation level was higher than that of his grandfather and father, already at the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Indeed, one should not underestimate the people of the world. Everyone said that the eight masters of Julu City were all at the eighth level of Qi Refining, but who knew that a young man from the Jian family had already reached the second level of Foundation Establishment?
After Chu Feng entered, he did not speak. Jian Yulai and the middle-aged man also did not speak. It was not until the young man used the last move and sheathed his sword that Chu Feng bowed to them.
"Patriarch Jian, I, Chu Feng, have come uninvited. I hope you will not take offense."
Jian Yulai laughed and said, "Young Master Chu is a dragon among men. In just one month, I have already been able to see your cultivation level. You are truly remarkable! It is an honor for the Jian family to have Young Master Chu come to us! Please have a seat, Young Master Chu! Feng Zhi, bring some tea!"
He was unaware that Brother Chu had his eye on the Jian family's treasure!
