A Biography of the Liu Family in Peach Blossom Mountain

Chapter 22 On the Road (Part 1)

Under the leadership of the Elder Liu Qiusheng, the Liu Family caravan quickly descended from Peach Blossom Mountain, passed through the villages where mortal members of the clan gathered, and began walking between the towering mountains.

Fortunately, although the mountain roads were rugged and difficult to traverse, everyone was at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, and after using their light body technique, they were as light as swallows. Even on the mountain path, they could travel hundreds of miles in a day.

On the first day, because they were still within the territory of the clan, they quickly passed by without any incidents!

From the second day onwards, as they moved further away from Peach Blossom Mountain, the possibility of encountering various dangers increased, so the group began to slow down their pace.

In order to avoid ambushes by Demonic Cultivators, the second elder, Liu Qiushui, led a small advance team with two clan cultivators to scout ahead. Liu Zhangxu was one of them, and the other person was Liu Zhangshun, the fifth brother.

Every year, after picking the spirit peaches, the clan would organize a caravan to bring various spiritual items produced by the clan to the Purple Forest Market.

However, this trade route had never been smooth sailing. There were several instances where the clan's caravans were completely wiped out on this road.

In addition to being attacked by Demonic Beasts on the road, the biggest danger came from the plundering of Demonic Cultivators. These Demonic Cultivators were mostly composed of Independent Cultivators, and some of them disguised themselves as rogue clan cultivators.

Perhaps these Demonic Cultivators were not much different from ordinary Independent Cultivators in normal times, but as soon as they spotted their prey, they would gather their friends and launch a team attack to rob them.

Moreover, in order to avoid exposing their identities, these Demonic Cultivators would be extremely cruel and kill everyone to keep their mouths shut.

These Demonic Cultivators particularly liked to target caravans formed by Qi Refining clans.

After all, Qi Refining Independent Cultivators were the majority among Demonic Cultivators, and the overall strength of Qi Refining clan caravans was weak. Without Foundation Building cultivators to oversee them, the chances of successful plundering were high, and the rewards were good once successful.

Under the leadership of the second elder, Liu Qiushui, Liu Zhangxu and Liu Zhangshun quickly separated from the clan caravan.

As they walked, the second elder, Liu Qiushui, pointed out various things that the two juniors needed to pay attention to when traveling outside.

For example, how to detect ambushes by Demonic Cultivators, how to identify their spies, and how to determine if someone was a Demonic Cultivator, and so on!

As an elder of the clan, Liu Qiushui wished he could pass on all his experience to these two juniors.

Because they were the future pillars of the clan.

Both of these juniors were very good, especially Liu Zhangxu, who had great potential for Foundation Building!

Thinking of this, the second elder, Liu Qiushui, couldn't help but sigh: In the past hundred years, the clan had not lacked talented individuals, but for various reasons, they had all perished early.

Only Liu Qiujue, the ninth of the Autumn generation, had been sent to Azure Cloud Sect since she had the Second Spiritual Root and good aptitude. She had already become a Foundation Building cultivator. Although Liu Qiujue belonged to Azure Cloud Sect, her help to the clan after becoming a Foundation Building cultivator had been significant. Without Liu Qiujue's help, the situation of the Liu Family would have been even more difficult.

However, Liu Qiujue's help was ultimately limited. The Liu Family needed their own Foundation Building cultivators.

Hopefully, Liu Shihao would successfully achieve Foundation Building this time!

While traveling, Liu Zhangxu suddenly thought of Xiao Qing and released her from the Spirit Beast bag.

After being released, Xiao Qing was very excited. Although she was only a Rank One Low Grade spirit beast, she was fast and could easily keep up with Liu Zhangxu's footsteps.

Liu Zhangxu released Xiao Qing because fox spirits had a much stronger perception of danger than cultivators.

He hoped that Xiao Qing could provide him with some help, and her ability to sense spiritual items was also quite good. It would be great if they could find some Spirit Medicine on the road!
