Chapter 246: Family meeting!
Translator: 549690339
A month later, Luquan City was finally in sight.
PEI Hongnian looked at the city that was getting bigger and bigger in his sight from afar and could not help but sigh in relief.
Along the way, PEI Ling was either cultivating or refining pills.
The two of them didn’t even exchange a few words.
He had no choice but to cultivate a few times. However, without the help of the bone-tempering pill, it was too painful. But he really couldn’t bear to use the bone-tempering pill.
As a result, he could only concentrate on drawing talismans to kill time.
It was finally here!
Just as he couldn’t wait to see his family, he saw the blood palanquin slowly land outside the city.
“PEI Ling, Luquan City is my PEI family’s territory.” Seeing this, PEI Hongnian quickly reminded, ” we can fly in directly. &Quot;
PEI Ling shook his head and didn’t say anything. Instead, he opened a soul nourishing bag and summoned a few resentful women who were at Qi disciple Level 4 and Level 5. Then, he cast the art of managing ghosts and controlled these resentful women to enter the city to Scout the way.
After a long while, all the resentful women returned unscathed and did not discover anything unusual in the city. PEI Ling then nodded slightly and said, ” “Alright, let’s enter the city.”
As he spoke, he led the way out of the blood carriage.
PEI Hongnian was confused. He followed her and said, ” “What’s wrong?”
“I’ll try the new technique I just learned,” PEI Ling said casually.
In his heart, he was thinking, an ordinary man is innocent, but a treasure will make him guilty. Now that the entire glory sect knew that he had the heaven-Dao Foundation establishment technique, he had to be extremely careful no matter what he did or where he went!
Of course, he had Senior Sister Li’s protection now, and he was also a new heaven’s pride expert who had just won the great competition. At least on the surface, no one would dare to have any ideas about him.
What he did just now was just a precaution.
Furthermore, if he was not wrong ... Jiaoqing should be hiding in the dark to protect him.
Thinking of this, PEI Ling kept the blood carriage and walked towards Luquan City in large strides.
As a small city in a remote corner under the jurisdiction of the Zhong gang sect, Luquan City was a lot smaller than Luoshan city, let alone the atmosphere of the sect.
However, in terms of numbers, they did not lose out.
After all, cultivators were rare in this place, but mortals were abundant.
Therefore, during the day, the city was packed with people and very lively.
The PEI family was a small character in the Zhong gang sect, but in Luquan City, they were the uncrowned king.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city recognized the PEI family’s disciples. Among them, PEI Hongnian was a zongzi. They respectfully let them cut the queue and enter the city, then turned around to report to the higher-ups.
After entering the city, the crowd on the streets made way for them.
A few of the more courageous ones wanted to come forward and flatter him, but they were all rudely reprimanded by PEI Hongnian.
At this moment, in the PEI mansion.
The family head of the PEI family sat in the main seat of the main hall with a happy face. On his left and right were the elders of the PEI family, most of whom were at the sixth level of Qi refining.
Apart from the family head Pei Xuan, none of them had reached the late-stage of Qi cultivation.
“Looking at the time, PEI Ling should be here in two days.” Pei Xuan said as he looked around.
The PEI family was too far away from the Zhong gang sect, and he had only just received the great news that PEI Ling had won the first place in the outer sect competition.
PEI Ling was a PEI family descendant. If he won the competition, the entire PEI family’s status and future would naturally rise with the tide.
Thus, Pei Xuan’s current mood was extremely good.
“Family head, this PEI Ling has never been valued in the family in the past. Would he bear a grudge against us?” At that moment, an elder frowned and asked nervously.
“It’s his stepmother who’s not good to him, not the entire PEI family!” Upon hearing this, another elder immediately said, ” as a disciple of the side branch, the family has always given him the right treatment without any deficit. However, his stepmother kept all the things and used them to compensate her biological son, PEI tu.”
&Quot; we’ve already dealt with his stepmother and PEI tu. What else does he want? ”
“Not bad! No matter what, the blood of our PEI family flows in his veins. Without our PEI family’s 18 years of nurturing, without us teaching him the bone-forging formula to guide him into the Dao, how could he have entered the sage sect so easily? One should know how to repay a favor!”
“The champion of the outer sect competition should have quite a few bone-tempering pills as a reward, right? If we have enough bone-tempering pills, we Qi disciple Level 6 elders should be able to continue cultivating and break through to the late-stage Qi disciple! When the time comes, it will be good for PEI Ling if the family is strong.”
“Bone-tempering pill? Hehe! You’re underestimating the reward for the outer sect competition’s champion. I’ve been in the outer sect before, after all. Bone-tempering pills are nothing in the sage sect! The reward for the champion of the outer sect competition might be a Foundation pill and some heavenly treasures!”
“Foundation establishment pill? Hahahaha ... It seems like our PEI family is going to Rise Up!”
“Our PEI family has raised PEI Ling for many years. When he returns, we must make him hand over all the rewards from the outer sect competition! Contributing to the family is the responsibility of every PEI family disciple ...”
“Won’t this make him hate us and never come back?”
“Don’t worry! He had just taken first place in the tournament and was at the peak of his glory. He came back as soon as Hong Nian shouted. It could be seen that he still had a lot of feelings for his family. Besides, if we don’t mention it, he’ll just give us something to send us off. If the family can’t develop, we’ll always look for him to ask for help in the future, but he can’t help us with anything. That’ll only cause deep grudges.”
“It’s better to take advantage of this opportunity to get all the rewards from the outer sect competition. This way, when the clan becomes stronger and our cultivation improves, we can also work for him in the future. We’re all blood-related, and as time passes, his resentment will fade away, and we’ll still be a family, right?”
“Even if he holds a grudge and doesn’t contact his family from now on, we don’t need to rely on him after we become strong. In this way, I didn’t raise him in vain.”
Hearing the elders “discussion, Pei Xuan nodded slightly.
The reason why they had asked PEI Hongnian to pass on the message and invite PEI Ling back was to hear that this disciple who was not valued had actually passed the preliminary round of the outer sect competition.
One had to know that PEI Hongnian, who the PEI family had scrimped and saved to send to the Zhong Ming sect for many years, had not made a name for himself in the sage sect.
This PEI Ling had become an unexpected surprise.
Hence, the PEI family dealt with PEI tu and his mother overnight and then discussed how to win over PEI Ling with their feelings.
After all, based on their understanding of the sage sect, if they could pass the outer sect competition’s preliminary round, they would be able to help Luquan City Open up trade routes with the nearest cities!
This way, the PEI family could form their own caravan and trade with the outside world, they would no longer be exploited by passing caravans.
They had even seriously considered how to cultivate PEI Hongnian and PEI Ling, the two outstanding children of the clan, after the caravan had made profits.
But then, they received news that he had passed the southern region selection and won first place in the outer sect competition. The entire PEI family was overjoyed, but gradually, their mood changed.
The reward for the champion of the outer sect competition had always been very generous. It was enough to let a small family rise to the top and raise the strength of the entire family by several levels!
Such examples had happened many times in the sage sect!
For example, there were a few more powerful families in the outer sect of the sage sect, such as the Jin family, the Shao family, the Lu family, and the gongzhi family ... All of them had an ancestor who was ranked in the top ten in the outer sect tournament, so they had quickly gained a foothold in the outer sect of the sage sect.
And this was only the top ten!
PEI Ling was the top dog!
Hence, including the current head of the family, the purpose of hoping for PEI Ling to return to the family had changed from building a relationship to the reward he had obtained from the outer sect tournament!
At this moment, Pei Xuan suddenly thought of something. &Quot; &Quot; by the way, ten more servants have gone missing recently. Have you investigated what happened? ”
