Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Gathering Spirit Stones! Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Gathering Spirit Stones! “Greetings, Family Head!”
At this moment, the servant suddenly knelt on the ground. Ren Changsheng looked up and saw a figure walking towards him. It was none other than Ren Yuzhan.
Ren Changsheng quickly stood up.
“Young man, why are you not diligently cultivating?”
Looking at Ren Changsheng, Ren Yuzhan spoke with a cold voice. Ren Changsheng was seen sitting by a small pond, holding a fishing rod in his hand, with a barbecue grill beside him.
Ren Changsheng was fishing and grilling.
Ren Changsheng forced a bitter smile. He truly dared not cultivate. No, he didn’t even dare to think about it. If he cultivated, in just a few days, he feared that the sixty-ninth heavenly tribulation would arrive.
“By the way, I wonder if I could… could I perhaps meet with the elder?”
As if he remembered something, Ren Yuzhan suddenly asked somewhat embarrassingly.
Ren Changsheng coughed lightly. What elder? Wasn’t that himself?
“Father, master has a bit of a temper, but he will definitely show up tomorrow. Also, master has ordered that each cultivator visiting our Ren family fortress tomorrow must hand over five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones!”
Ren Changsheng stated indifferently.
“What? Five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones!”
Ren Yuzhan was stunned. Five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones? That was the accumulation of a Golden Core cultivator over several decades. Wasn’t Ren Changsheng practically robbing them?
“What? Is that not acceptable?”
Ren Changsheng stated indifferently.
Five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones? That was actually a conservative ask. He had initially intended to demand a thousand.
“Is this the elder’s intention…”
Ren Yuzhan asked cautiously.
Ren Changsheng spoke with a serious look.
Ren Yuzhan took a deep breath and agreed.
“Also, have the disciples of the Ren family fortress spread a message: within Nanling County, if there are any Golden Core cultivators who don’t come, then my teacher will personally pay them a visit!”
Ren Changsheng stated indifferently.
“Pay a visit in person!”
Ren Yuzhan swallowed hard. A Nascent Soul old monster making a personal visit? Wasn’t that a death wish? Between five hundred Spirit Stones and offending a Nascent Soul old monster, anyone would choose the former!
“You little rascal, make sure you…”
Ren Changsheng grinned and then continued to lie down and fish. Watching Ren Changsheng lie down again, Ren Yuzhan sighed inwardly.
Did this Nascent Soul old monster really have such an odd personality, or did he actually enjoy his son being so useless?
“What? Five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones? Are they trying to kill us? We are Foundation Establishment cultivators, where would we get five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones? Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, that’s not a light demand!”
“That’s right, the Nascent Soul old monster from the Ren family fortress is bullying us too far!”
In Nanling County, many Golden Core cultivators were fuming with anger. Lin Family Ancestor also looked somewhat displeased; handing over five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones was not particularly difficult for him.
But his Lin family had three Golden Core cultivators!
That’s one thousand five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones! This amount was equal to several years of income for his Lin family, and this time, Ren Yuzhan brought over three invitations.
This meant that the Nascent Soul old monster wanted all three of them to attend.
“Grandfather, this Nascent Soul old monster from the Ren family is a bit too arrogant, demanding five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones per person. Even our Heavenly Moon Sacred Land wouldn’t dare to charge . Let me go with you, I refuse to believe he would dare to demand Spirit Stones from me!”
At this moment, a young man stood out, speaking proudly. Despite his young age, the aura he carried was far from weak, having reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
The grandson of the Lin Family Ancestor, Lin Yu, who was also an outer sect disciple of the Heavenly Moon Sacred Land.
“Heavenly Moon Sacred Land? Excellent!”
The Lin family ancestor’s eyes lit up. A few days ago, Ren Changsheng of the Ren family fortress had offended the Tantai Fairy of Tianyue Xian Di; now the Ren family definitely wouldn’t dare to continue offending Tianyue Xian Di.
“Grandfather, I am returning this time to accompany the Fairy from the divine realm down to the mortal world. The Fairy will also visit the Ren family fortress tomorrow, and if the Ren family don’t know better by then, the Fairy will undoubtedly be enraged, at that time…”
Looking at the Lin family ancestor, a cold glint rose in Lin Yu’s eyes.
“The Tantai Fairy is also going!”
A smile also rose on the face of the Lin family ancestor. Tomorrow’s banquet might very well be the end of the Ren family fortress—Tantai Fairy, that’s the holy woman of Tianyue Xian Di.
“You all can leave now!”
A group of people hurriedly retreated.
The third day, within the Ren family fortress.
“Here are five hundred inferior Spirit Stones!”
Outside the door, Ren Yuzhan himself stood there as a group of Golden Core Cultivators lined up, reluctantly dropping the Spirit Stones into the large basket in front of Ren Yuzhan.
“Real person Li Yun is too kind!”
Ren Yuzhan gave a faint smile. Originally, he was a little worried, but today, no Golden Core Cultivator dared not give, even if they were reluctant, they couldn’t afford not to give!
Golden Core Cultivators from Nanling County.
“Ouyang Zi has come to visit!”
At this moment, a resounding voice was heard, and the next second, an elderly man was seen arriving, treading through the air.
The old man had white hair, but upon seeing him, everyone’s faces instantly changed.
One of the three Nascent Soul old monsters of Nanling County, Ouyang Zi.
“It’s a Nascent Soul old monster!”
Inside the Ren family fortress, Ren Changsheng instantly opened his eyes, and in an instant, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The fat sheep, has taken the bait!
Nanling City belongs to a small city in the southern region.
There are a total of three major families: the Meng family, the Qiu family, and the Ouyang family.
Each of the three major families has a Nascent Soul old monster in command, as for the other families in Nanling County, they’re nothing in comparison, after all, in front of a Nascent Soul powerhouse, even a Golden Core real person is nothing but an ant.
In front of the Ren family fortress, sweat appeared on Ren Yuzhan’s forehead—it was a Nascent Soul old monster; a slight mishap could spell disaster for the Ren family fortress.
“What? Won’t you let this seat in?”
The old man said with a faint smile.
Ren Yuzhan hurriedly stepped forward to say.
“It’s an honor for our Ren family fortress for Senior Ouyang to come in person; servants, quickly guide Senior Ouyang into the Ren family fortress to rest!”
Several figures quickly came forward.
“Here are five hundred inferior Spirit Stones!”
As he approached Ren Yuzhan, Hao Chong’s eyes flashed, and the next moment, five hundred inferior Spirit Stones were tossed into the basket in front of Ren Yuzhan.
Ren Yuzhan’s complexion changed slightly.
But at that moment, a deep voice resonated in Ren Yuzhan’s mind. Naturally, it was Ren Changsheng’s voice. Having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, transmitting his voice was but a minor trick.
Ren Yuzhan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Yuzhan respectfully said.
“Ha ha ha… then this old man will enter first!”
Laughing heartily, Ouyang Zi turned around and walked towards the Ren family fortress. Outside the fortress, seeing that even Ouyang Zi, a Nascent Soul old monster, had taken out five hundred Spirit Stones, the others dared not say anything else.
One by one, they consciously brought out their Spirit Stones.
A group of people finally entered the Ren family fortress, but just as Ren Yuzhan was about to leave.
Four figures came from afar.
Looking from a distance.
Wasn’t that the people from the Lin family?
