430: Chapter 336 430: Chapter 336 Liu Yong, as a father, and Xiao Xiang, as a mother, had only one daughter who was around fifteen or sixteen years old—an age at which, in ordinary families, she could have been married off.
However, in their eyes, she was still a child; they were unwilling to let their daughter engage in such adult behaviors, staying out all night.
When they meditated in their room, their Divine Sense followed a young man and woman in the garden.
With Liu Yong’s question, everyone turned to look at Luo Yaxuan.
“Mm, after breakfast, the family members will get ready to set off.
Master, Mistress, if you have anything to prepare, you should do it now,” Luo Yaxuan said and then glanced at Sun Zi’an, adding,
“This is a mission we’re embarking on.
Although it’s relatively close by, since you’re known for your cooking, you should also prepare some ingredients and condiments—food supplies.”
Sun Zi’an listened, nodded obediently, and said, “After breakfast, this disciple will go prepare.”
Luo Yaxuan didn’t say anything more and slowly enjoyed the attentive service from Liu Jiaojiao.
The others hastened their eating.
Sun Zi’an hurriedly took a few bites and left the living room.
Liu Yong and his wife, Xiao Xiang, also tacitly finished their breakfast quickly.
They planned to stroll along the streets outside of Immortal Lord City,
hoping to find some items they needed.
Although they were only at the Golden Core level of cultivation, they still had their own skills, which would come in handy on this mission.
Liu Yong was a Talisman Master.
While the level of his craftsmanship wasn’t high, he could still produce talismans of a lower grade, suitable for those in the Qi Refinement Realm, without any problem.
Xiao Xiang also had a skill; she was an Array Master, capable of making Formation Flags and setting up simple formations.
Although Luo Yaxuan became their disciple, he was taught their arts because they weren’t too advanced, and since the Luo Family had higher-level skills, he didn’t study their crafts.
Luo Yaxuan focused solely on practicing his spells, considering other skills merely as means to make a living.
In his family, he didn’t need to engage in these activities, and as the future Clan Leader, he had to succeed his father’s position, which required him to elevate his cultivation level.
The family had skilled people in these areas, covering various positions.
Luo Yaxuan and Liu Jiaojiao ate affectionately, then realized that everyone who had been eating breakfast with them had left.
The two didn’t stop their movements as they enjoyed the delicious meal and actually relished the atmosphere between them.
Luo Yaxuan didn’t really have anything else to prepare since his mother and grandmother had already prepared some items for him the night before.
The items were numerous, all stored in a Storage Bag, which he glanced over—food, utensils, Silver, Spirit Stones, and Gold.
Liu Jiaojiao, used to relying on her parents, never lacked such supplies in the Immortal Sect and had always depended on her parents, maintaining the mindset of a little girl, although she was indeed fifteen or sixteen—an age where girls in the Mortal World might have started marrying, but in the Cultivation World, she was still very juvenile.
However, she was ready to get married; she was willing to marry him at any time as long as her senior brother would take her as his wife.
Luo Yaxuan spent some more time in the guest room, then received a message from his father.
The family members were beginning to assemble, and those who had things to store were getting ready.
“Junior Sister, let’s go to the square together!”
“What about my parents?
Aren’t we waiting for them?”
“We’ll send them a message.
Although it’s only a bit over a hundred li from here to that place, it’s not very safe in Immortal Lord City; lone cultivators could be robbed!”
Luo Yaxuan didn’t explain in detail that those committing robbery might not be Loose Cultivators.
For example, the last time he and Lai Jianlin were returning to Immortal Lord City, those who robbed them were powerful beings.
It was also heard that the Jiang Family Head and their group were robbed upon leaving Immortal Lord City.
The unrest in Immortal Lord City recently was due to people with covered faces, and they were certainly not as simple as Loose Cultivators.
The last time Mo Wen and his group returned, they were pursued and killed, and there had been more incidents recently.
The few families had begun to suspect the Huang Family, but there was no solid evidence.
Currently, no one wished to stir trouble and only wanted to increase their cultivation.
As their abilities gradually rose, everyone believed that striving for dominance in this small patch of land was futile.
The only way to make their families formidable was to grow their cultivation, so that others would look up to them.
Others wouldn’t be able to compete, let alone resort to scheming and plotting.
In Immortal Lord City, the Huang Family, like the Jiang and Luo Families and other clans, were suspected by them.
Eager for more wealth to buy Supreme Elixirs, previous purchases had emptied some of the clan’s finances.
The high-ranking members who obtained the exorbitantly priced Supreme Elixirs truly benefited, and they grew greedier.
Seeing that they had genuinely acquired Supreme Elixirs and their cultivation had increased, these high-ranking members’ relatives and the elite of the Huang Family all unanimously sought ways to gather more money.
Lacking other channels to buy cheaper Supreme Elixirs, they could only purchase them at high prices.
Indeed, they envied the Jiang, Luo, and Lai Families, which were able to collaborate with supreme Alchemists to obtain affordable elixirs, something they couldn’t do.
The main reason was that Huang Chen thought he had killed Jiang Tang in a case of murder for loot.
Yet, he didn’t expect to not kill his target but to be killed himself.
Upon learning of this, how could Huang Chen’s relatives bear to give money to their enemy Jiang Tang and even consider collaboration?
