A Biography of the Liu Family in Peach Blossom Mountain

Chapter 1: Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Family

In the vast and boundless universe of the Immortal Cultivation World, on a planet called Mysterious Yellow Star, there is a continent called Divine Flower Continent. On this continent, there are numerous kingdoms and sects.

In the southeast of the continent, there is a mortal kingdom called Great Tang Dynasty.

Within the Peaceful Cloud County of the East Flower State in the Great Tang Dynasty, there is a Rank One High Grade spiritual mountain called Peach Blossom Mountain.

Occupying this mountain is a Qi Refining cultivation family called Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Family.

The Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Family was established by Liu Wu, a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, after he failed to break through the Foundation Building stage.

Back then, while Liu Wu and his fellow disciples were training on the outskirts of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, they accidentally discovered this Rank One spiritual mountain.

The entire area of Peach Blossom Mountain is not large, only about fifty li in size. However, the highest peak, Peach Blossom Peak, is thousands of zhang tall, with a magnificent and beautiful mountain range, numerous spiritual springs, abundant spiritual energy, and a Rank One High Grade spiritual vein.

Nourished by the spiritual vein and springs, the scenery on the mountain is beautiful, with lush vegetation and many precious Rank One spiritual plants, including Spirit Medicine, spiritual wood, and spiritual fruits. The most precious are twenty-four Rank One Jade Peach trees.

Jade Peach is a very precious spiritual fruit that can enhance the cultivation of Qi Refining cultivators.

At the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain is a lake about thirty li in diameter. The spring water from the mountain flows into this small lake, where thirty-six Rank One Jade Lotuses grow, as well as various Rank One Spirit Fish such as Silver Blade Fish and Golden Red Carp.

The land by the lake is fertile and can be developed into a Spirit Field for growing Spirit Rice and Spirit Medicine.

Moreover, within a few hundred li around Peach Blossom Mountain, there are only low hills and valleys, with no Rank Two spiritual veins suitable for Rank Two Demonic Beasts to inhabit. Therefore, it is very suitable for establishing a family here.

So, they contacted several friends from the sect and together killed the black bear Demonic Beast that occupied this mountain, took control of it, and named it Peach Blossom Mountain.

They also applied for a pioneering order from the sect to marry and have children here, establish a family, and cultivate immortality.

On a clear morning in March of the year 3165 in the Great Tang Dynasty, in a large courtyard halfway up the main peak of Peach Blossom Mountain, a handsome young man dressed in green was meditating and cultivating in a training room.

He was sitting cross-legged on a yellow cushion, his eyes slightly closed, his mind focused, practicing breathing exercises. The red, green, and blue spiritual energy in the air slowly entered his body with each breath.

Suddenly, the young man opened his slightly closed eyes, and a cold light flashed!

With a clear chant, the surrounding spiritual energy rushed into his body like swallows returning to their nests!

This young man is named Liu Zhangxu, sixteen years old this year, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, with water, wood, and fire spiritual roots. He is a sixth-generation descendant of the Liu Family from Peach Blossom Mountain, and is known as the seventh in the generation.

"It seems that it will take some time to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Today is the first day I participate in the hunting of Demonic Beasts in the mountains. I need to eat quickly!" Liu Zhangxu muttered to himself.

Immediately, Liu Zhangxu stopped his cultivation and stood up, leaving the training room and quickly walking to the dining room in his house.

He found that his father, Liu Shihao, his mother, Lin Yulian, his two aunts, and his younger siblings were all seated and ready to eat.

On the spacious green jade dining table, there were exquisite delicacies and spiritual fruits served on white jade plates.

Sitting at the main seat of the dining table was a handsome middle-aged man, wearing a blue long robe, with a square face, fair complexion, eyes like lightning, and a graceful and ethereal temperament, which was quite eye-catching.

This middle-aged man is Liu Zhangxu's biological father, Liu Shihao.

Liu Shihao is forty-five years old this year and has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He is ranked fifth in the family's generation and is one of the seven elders of the Liu Family. He has wood, fire, and earth spiritual roots. He is a Rank One High Grade Spiritual Plant Master and Alchemist, and the most hopeful person in the Liu Family to reach Foundation Building. He currently has three wives.

Sitting on Liu Shihao's left side is Liu Zhangxu's biological mother, Lin Yulian, who is also Liu Shihao's legal wife.

She is 38 years old, wearing a blue long dress, with skin like jade and a face like peach blossoms. She is dignified and beautiful. She has four spiritual roots and is at the seventh level of Qi Refining. She is the eighth elder of the Liu Family and a Rank One Middle Grade Symbol Master and Spiritual Food Master. She comes from the Lin Family, a Qi Refining family.

Lin Yulian has a son and a daughter. Liu Zhangxu is the eldest son, and the second daughter is Liu Zhangxue. She is ranked nineteenth in the generation and is ten years old. She has four spiritual roots and is at the second level of Qi Refining.

The second wife, Liang Yuniang, comes from the Liang Family, a Qi Refining family. She has five spiritual roots and is at the fourth level of Qi Refining. She is thirty years old and has a graceful and charming appearance. She has given birth to a son and a daughter.

The daughter, Liu Zhangxin, is only thirteen years old and is ranked fifteenth in the generation. She has five spiritual roots and is at the second level of Qi Refining.

The son, Liu Sheng, is eleven years old and is handsome, but unfortunately, he has no spiritual roots. According to the family rules, he will have to live in Peach Blossom Town at the foot of the mountain after the age of sixteen.

The third wife, Shi Wenxia, is twenty-six years old and has four spiritual roots. She is at the fourth level of Qi Refining and comes from an Independent Cultivator background. She has a hot figure and a wild beauty. She has a daughter named Liu Ling, who is four years old and looks mischievous and adorable. She is the joy of the whole family.

Liu Zhangxu quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, father, mother, and two aunts!"

Seeing his son's arrival, Liu Shihao felt gratified. His son, at only sixteen years old, has already reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining. He has great potential to reach Foundation Building in the future, not disappointing his expectations.

Therefore, he smiled and said, "Xu'er, your mother knew that it was your first time going into the mountains to hunt demons. She was afraid that you wouldn't have a good meal, so she specially prepared a sumptuous breakfast for you. We all benefited from it as well."

These words from his father filled Liu Zhangxu with gratitude towards his mother and his family. Looking at the abundant dishes on the table, he estimated that his mother and aunts probably didn't get much rest last night.

Liu Shihao continued, "Since this is your first time going into the mountains to hunt demons, we are all worried about your safety. But there's nothing we can do. You have grown up and from now on, you must shoulder the responsibility of protecting our family. I wish my son a safe return!"

Saying that, he took out a Law Weapon sword, about three feet long, from his storage bag and said to Liu Zhangxu, "This Rank One Middle Grade Longquan Sword was given to me by your grandfather. Today, I am giving it to you. I hope you will use this sword to continue protecting our family."

Liu Zhangxu solemnly accepted the sword and said seriously, "Thank you, father. I will always remember your teachings and use this sword to protect our family."

At this moment, the mother, Lin Yulian, also took out fifteen talismans from her storage bag and handed them to Liu Zhangxu, saying, "Be careful and cautious on your first demon hunting trip. Pay attention to your safety. Now, sit down and have your meal!"

Liu Zhangxu quickly said to his mother, "Mother, don't worry! I will be careful." He took the talismans from his mother and went to his seat.

When everyone in the family had gathered, Liu Shihao said, "Let's eat!" Then, the family started eating.

Today's meal was carefully prepared by Lin Yulian for Liu Zhangxu's journey, and it was quite sumptuous.

On the jade table were twelve white jade plates, including a plate of spiritual fruits (including Rank One Middle Grade Biyu Spirit Peaches, Rank One Low Grade Purple Gold Plums, Crystal White Pears, Green Jade Dates, Purple Crystal Grapes, etc.), Matsutake Mushroom Chicken Soup, Spiritual Chicken Egg Soup, Steamed Silver Knife Fish, Braised Golden Carp, Braised Lamb, Apricot Mushroom Soup, Clear Stewed Venison, Braised Beef, Steamed Crystal Shrimp, Green Jade Spirit Date Cake, Steamed Green Shell Crab. The ingredients were all from Demonic Beasts and spiritual objects.

The main dish was Rank One Middle Grade Crystal Rice, and there was also a pot of homemade Rank One Middle Grade Peach Blossom Wine.

Because cultivators have high requirements for ingredients, ordinary meals are not conducive to their cultivation. Cultivators with conditions will generally eat spiritual meals.

Since Liu Zhangxu's younger siblings were still young, the atmosphere during the meal was very lively and cheerful!

After the meal, Liu Zhangxu bid farewell to his family and quickly walked towards the clan affairs hall.

Since Liu Wu founded the Liu Family on Peach Blossom Mountain, although it had only been more than 130 years, it had developed into a small Qi Refining family with nine Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators, twenty-five Qi Refining Mid Stage cultivators, fifty-two Qi Refining Early Stage cultivators, and tens of thousands of mortal members.

The Liu Family's territory extended for more than three hundred miles, with the family's assets including the spiritual fruit orchard and spirit medicine garden on the mountain, the spirit field at the foot of the mountain, the Qingyu Lotus in the Spirit Lake, and the spirit fish in the lake.

The cultivators of the Liu Family lived in the Peach Blossom Villa on Peach Blossom Mountain.

The Peach Blossom Villa was built around the mountain and, after more than a hundred years of construction, had taken shape. It had a three-zhang-high city wall and a Rank Two Low Grade Yimu Evergreen Formation arranged by a Rank Two Formation Master at a huge cost, which could withstand attacks from Foundation Building Early Stage cultivators.

Liu Zhangxu quickly arrived at the clan affairs hall of the family, a five-zhang-high red palace.

Upon entering the hall, he found that there were already seven people inside.

The leader was Liu Baichuan, the captain of the demon hunting team this time and one of the four elders of the family. The other six cultivators were also members of the demon hunting team.

The Liu Family, established by the ancestral founder Liu Wu, has been passed down for six generations since the establishment of the ten-generation lineage system consisting of the characters "Qian, Qiu, Bai, Shi, Chang, Fu, Ze, Yong, Xiang, Chuan."

In order to ensure the smooth inheritance of his family, the ancestral founder Liu Wu drew inspiration from the Azure Cloud Sect and other prominent families and established the Liu Family rules.

Due to the location of Peach Blossom Mountain on the edge of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, it often faces threats from Demonic Beasts deep within the mountains.

In such circumstances, the family enlists all family cultivators above the age of 16 into the family's Demon Hunting Team, rotating them in batches to hunt and kill Demonic Beasts in the family's territory and surrounding areas.

This is done to prevent the Demonic Beasts from multiplying and posing a threat to the safety of mortals and cultivators in the family, while also allowing the family to obtain Spirit Medicine and other spiritual treasures.

Although participating in demon hunting activities carries certain risks, the family's younger generation can gain experience and temper themselves through battles with Demonic Beasts, which is particularly beneficial for their cultivation. The materials and various spiritual treasures obtained during the demon hunting process can also meet some of their cultivation needs.

The Demonic Beast materials and Spirit Medicine obtained during demon hunting can be either submitted to the family's treasury or kept for personal use.

For each Demonic Beast killed, the family awards a certain number of contribution points based on the rank of the Demonic Beast.

The family also awards contribution points to the Demonic Beast materials and various spiritual treasures submitted to the treasury, based on their value. Each contribution point is equivalent to a Low Grade Spirit Stone.

Family members can use contribution points to exchange for various cultivation resources from the family's treasury. The contribution point system motivates every family member to actively obtain cultivation resources.

Contribution points are mainly obtained by completing family tasks, which can vary from alchemy, talisman making, combat, to demon hunting, and so on. In short, the more effort put in, the greater the rewards.

In addition to Liu Baichuan, the participants in this demon hunting expedition include Liu Shijie, the third generation with the character "Shi," Liu Shijia, the ninth generation, Liu Shiju, the thirteenth generation, Liu Shichao, the fifteenth generation, Liu Changchun, the third generation with the character "Chang," and Liu Zhangshun, the fifth generation.

"Grandfather Seven, hello! Uncle Three, hello! Uncle Nine, Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Fifteen, hello! Brother Three, Brother Five, hello!" Upon seeing everyone, Liu Zhangxu immediately stepped forward and greeted them.

Seeing this outstanding young member of the family, Liu Baichuan, who was nearly seventy years old, was very satisfied! This child had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining at just sixteen years old, making him the fastest cultivator in the family among the third generation with the character "Chang."

"Are you ready, Zhangxu?" Liu Baichuan asked.

"I'm ready," Liu Zhangxu replied.

"Alright, let's set off!" Liu Baichuan commanded.

This is a story of a small cultivation family striving to become a prominent cultivation sect, without any cheats or shortcuts. It focuses on an ordinary cultivator who, driven by a strong desire for longevity, leads a Qi Refining family on the path to becoming a great cultivation family. The protagonist is determined to achieve longevity while also cherishing beauty, valuing family, and embarking on a splendid journey of cultivation and longevity.
