Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

Zhang Ran had a smile on his face as he poured a cup of tea for Master Wan, completely calm and composed.

"Master Wan, I can guarantee that our Zhang family did not force anyone. All the disciples willingly joined your sect. If you want them to go back, I have no objections. But if she doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do," Zhang Ran said.

"Hmph," Master Wan snorted coldly, knowing full well that they had all joined willingly. Even her own daughter had become the Ninth Prince's person.

Thinking of this, Master Wan coughed twice. "My daughter is also the Ninth Prince's person now. According to seniority, I have gained some advantages. The Ninth Prince can just give me a few high-quality pills as compensation."

Zhang Ran could clearly hear what Master Wan meant. She was basically saying that she had become his father.

She wanted to take advantage but didn't even have the qualifications to ask for pills. Zhang Ran said, "Master Wan, your precious daughter is like a pill furnace, constantly refining pills. Everyone knows that. I have lost so many pills because of her."

"A pill furnace?" Master Wan couldn't believe it. How could someone who claimed to be able to produce five pills explode a furnace?

"If you don't believe me, ask your disciples or your daughter," Zhang Ran said impatiently.

Seeing Zhang Ran's confident expression, Master Wan knew that he had a plan. It seemed to be true. He couldn't get any benefits from this.

Little did she know that when Zhang Ran said "pill furnace," it didn't mean a literal furnace. In the Zhang family, the term "pill furnace" had come to represent the Ninth Prince's strength.

Master Wan waved her hand in annoyance. "Alright, alright. Today, I came to select some outstanding juniors from the Zhang family. Where are they?"

Zhang Ran smirked. "They're all here."

With a snap of his fingers, more than fifty people entered one after another.

"Is this all?" the Master of Myriad Beast Sect said unhappily.

Zhang Ran apologized, "It's already quite a lot for our Zhang family to have this many. And they all have decent talent."

"No, why are there only twelve female cultivators?" Master Wan was very disappointed. Before coming, the disciples of her sect had said that they would bring back a hundred Zhang family women to give them a taste of their own medicine.

The Master thought to herself, how could this work with so few women? Myriad Beast Sect already had more men than women.

Twelve was too much of a loss for her.

Zhang Ran's expression remained unchanged as he smiled faintly. "Master Wan, I have given you the best alchemy talents in our Zhang family. Are you still being picky?"

"..."

This can also be considered in the central region. First, slowly establish the reputation of the Zhang Family Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, this way, the Chen Family won't suffer any losses, and they can also gain a lot of profit, allowing them to make money together.

After spending half a month setting up the formation, Zhang Ran asked Zhang Tianyin, "Tianyin, what do you think of the Third Prince? It seems like he quite likes you."

"I know, but I only want to cultivate. As for marriage and having children, I don't want to consider it for now," Zhang Tianyin furrowed his brows slightly. Why was his father asking about this?

"No, Tianyin, you're not young anymore. You should consider it. After all, it's quite tiring for a person to be outside all the time," Zhang Ran actually hoped that there would be some special physique among the younger generation of the Zhang Family.

After all, each generation needed a leading figure.

However, Zhang Tianyin only softly said, "Let's leave it to fate."

Afterward, Zhang Ran received an invitation from the Chen Family's patriarch to come to the Chen Family's main hall.

"Prince Jiuyang, in the future, our Chen Family can only rely on you," the Chen Family's patriarch flattered.

Although they were both in the early Nascent Soul stage, in front of Zhang Ran, it felt like they were facing a late or even peak-stage old monster.

They couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Is this the Nascent Soul cultivator who has passed the Triple Thunder Tribulation?

It is said that a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator can freely travel through the nine heavens with their divine soul, unafraid of thunder. They are several times stronger than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Looking at Zhang Ran now, it felt like he was more than four times stronger. Even though he had restrained all his aura, he still made the Chen Family's patriarch feel a sense of fear.

"Chen Family's patriarch, there are some things I don't want to say too directly, but you are indeed a smart person, so I am also pleased. In the future, the Chen Family will be the gateway for me to open up the central region. Therefore, I will remember the future of the Chen Family," Zhang Ran said.

Upon hearing this, the Chen Family's patriarch, along with some of the family elders, expressed their gratitude.

Whether it was a pie or not, at least they should eat it first.

After dealing with these matters, Zhang Ran prepared to leave the Chen Family and return to Daqian.

...

Borderlands.

Zhang Tianlin (the name Zhang Qinglin changed to, he is the first Five Elemental Roots cultivator, currently at the ninth level of Foundation Building, and also the second junior who is about to reach Core Formation).

Now, he has cultivated a strong killing intent in the borderlands, and his gaze has become much sharper than before.

Although his talent couldn't get him into the academy, Zhang Tianlin has achieved some success in the borderlands with his passionate blood.

Under his blade, there have been more than ten Foundation Building cultivators alone.

This is already a good record in the Foundation Building stage. His strength and wealth are also rapidly increasing.

It is much better than the peaceful days in the Zhang Family before.

However, the mortality rate here is indeed too high. Some Zhang Family disciples who came here, upon seeing the mountains of corpses and the corpses strewn all over the place, were even more terrifying than Qi Refining stage dogs. Even Foundation Building cultivators were cannon fodder, and those in the early stage of Core Formation couldn't escape unscathed.

Only when they reach the late stage of Core Formation can they dare to say that they have the ability to protect themselves in these million mountains.

Many Zhang Family disciples were initially very afraid and waited in the border city for a long time before daring to venture out.

"Big Brother Zhang, Xuan Yong seems to be in bad shape," a man in a black robe behind Zhang Tianlin said, supporting a young man covered in blood on the ground. The young man was also dressed in black, but his face was pale, and there was a huge gash in his chest.

His internal organs were exposed, and no matter how they tried, they couldn't put them back in. His injuries were severe.

This was a Qi Refining stage disciple from the Zhang Family's Xuan generation. Although Zhang Tianlin wanted to save him, this person was already beyond saving.

They were still in a crisis and couldn't make too much noise.
