Chapter 31 Beilu Mountain

"Elder, these are the only survivors!"

Xu Xuanting looked at the few people who were slowly getting up from the ground, his face filled with sorrow.

"besides……"

"explain!"

"The Jin family is dead!"

Upon hearing this news, Xu Xuanting was shocked, as if struck by lightning, and turned his head in disbelief.

"The Jin family? How could the Jin family be..."

His voice trembled almost imperceptibly as he hurried forward.

Before even getting close, one could see Xu Jinfu curled up in a ball, his teeth clenched tightly, blood flowing from his lips, his eyes wide open as if about to bulge out, his face filled with terror and pain.

Its ten fingers were deeply embedded in the soil, the flesh completely submerged, and the white bones were faintly visible.

"Elder, the success rate was already very low, so this result is normal. Please accept our condolences."

"I watched him being born. I personally tested the spiritual roots of the Jin family. After confirming that he had no spiritual roots, I sent him to a village in the mortal world."

Today, I brought him a glimmer of hope, only to ultimately kill him. How can I give an explanation to his spirit?

No one knew, and everyone could only remain silent. Finally, the Grand Elder sighed deeply.

"Cremate the Jin family's body, and I will bury him in the cemetery on the mountain."

……

The Beilu Mountains are the largest mountain range surrounding Jiangjiafang City, and also the best place for nearby cultivators to hunt demons and search for treasures.

Because of the high mountains and dense forests, and the fact that few people ventured there, even though the Jiang family was powerful, it was impossible for them to occupy the entire mountain range. Therefore, the Beilu Mountain Range became almost a paradise for independent cultivators.

"Chirp chirp!"

In a dark and damp dense forest, a clearing about ten feet in size suddenly appeared. In the center of the clearing was a smooth wooden stick with a crimson spirit fruit tied to it with a thin thread.

The bright red, blood-red spirit fruit was now emitting its fragrance in the gentle breeze.

A tigress at the early stage of the first tier stared wide-eyed in bewilderment. It didn't understand why there was such a strange fruit tree, but the tempting aroma made its mouth water.

Finally, the fawn approached quickly with small, quick steps, while in the dense forest, a pair of bright eyes kept a close eye on it.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

Xu Yuanlang licked his lips and looked at a spot about ten feet in front of the deer, where he had set up a snare. If the deer stepped on it, it would surely be caught.

This fawn had just been weaned and was very expensive in the market; Xu Yuanlang intended to capture it alive.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the air; it was a magic sword. He knew he was in trouble, and immediately flew out the pair of moon wheels in his hands, colliding violently with the magic sword.

"Clang clang!"

"Someone's there!"

A cry of alarm came from afar. The fawn had been startled and its four hooves kicked up the mud, its body shooting off like an arrow.

"Blue Leaf Cage!"

Xu Yuanlang made a hand seal with his left hand, and dozens of leaves appeared out of thin air, trapping the deer, whose body was still in mid-air, inside.

After succeeding, he immediately rushed over, his demon-slaying gourd flying out as a precaution. With his left hand, he swiftly pressed the deer to the ground, while his right hand quickly and skillfully bound the deer tightly.

"That's me..."

A voice like that of a nightingale rang out from the dense forest, and the next moment two spirited women, carrying longbows on their backs and wearing animal skin boots, appeared before him.

The two looked quite similar and were probably sisters. The girl, who appeared more youthful and beautiful, was a little angry when she saw the deer that he had tied up. Just as she was about to speak, her older sister pulled her forcefully.

"Sister, stop fooling around. This fellow Daoist has succeeded. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, you should have set up a trap here."

On the contrary, we were unaware of the situation and disrupted your plans.

The woman who spoke had short hair, exquisite features, and was tall with long legs. Although she was slender, she was not thin. It was clear that she was very familiar with her surroundings, and her figure almost blended into her surroundings.

"Really? I'm sorry then!"

Her younger sister gave an embarrassed smile and scratched her head. She was shorter and looked petite and cute.

"It doesn't matter, I've already succeeded anyway."

He breathed a sigh of relief; it would have been best to avoid a conflict.

The two sisters in front of me are both in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and their strength is not weak. In addition, the large bows behind them are quite special. Even if I can win, I will probably have to put in some effort.

"My name is Yunxi!"

The older sister spoke, seemingly trying to bring the two closer, and her younger sister, seeing this, quickly followed suit and bowed her upper body.

"My name is Hibari!"

"My name is Xu Yuanlang!"

"Xu?"

Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. If it were just a surname, it wouldn't mean much, but if it was followed by a generation name, then she could be sure that the handsome young man in front of her was indeed a member of the Foundation Establishment Xu family.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the two sides hadn't broken off relations and started fighting. Otherwise, even if she and her sister had won, they would have been caught in endless trouble in the future.

"Is Fellow Daoist Xu a member of the Foundation Establishment Xu family?"

Yun Que was quick to speak and asked the question directly. Xu Yuanlang felt two gazes on his face, and he silently turned his head away.

"no!"

He regretted it a little; he should have given a fake name. He was just too inexperienced.

"Pfft..."

Yunxi burst out laughing. The young man in front of her looked incredibly composed, but in reality, he was still a big boy, probably coming here to explore for the first time away from his family.

"Fellow Daoist, since that's the case, why don't we cooperate and split the profits fifty-fifty?"

A 50/50 split? Xu Yuanlang immediately became wary. Judging from this split, he was definitely getting a huge advantage.

After all, the other party was no weaker than himself, and there were two of them. Judging from their contributions alone, the split should not be 50/50. Thinking of this, his eyes became deep and dark.

"Fellow Daoist Yunxi, this offer is far too good to be true. You must have other motives. Why don't you just say so?"

Faced with her younger sister's confusion and Xu Yuanlang's suspicion, Yunxi slowly spoke.

"I would like to purchase a few spirit pills from you, fellow Daoist!"

"this one?"

Upon hearing her request, Xu Yuanlang asked incredulously.

Pills are rare in the cultivation world, but if you look for them carefully, you can even find them in the Jiang family's market.

"I am sincere. Besides, not all pills are the same. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Xu Yuanlang's heart stirred. He wasn't convinced, but the different claims about pills piqued his interest.

"Very well, we can cooperate without any problem. However, there are some things I need you to explain to me."

"I will tell you about your question when the time is right."
