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

Zhang Ran had a decent understanding of the Seventh Prince's past and knew that he was not a bad person, just very stubborn.

So as long as this person understood things clearly, they might still be able to have a friendly conversation over drinks in the future. But if they couldn't understand and went astray, then Zhang Ran would have no choice but to suppress them.

"Husband, is Master Yu Yan about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?" Qiu Shui asked with a tender expression in her eyes.

Zhang Ran looked at Qiu Shui's charming eyes and knew what she meant. He calculated the dates and realized that she was six months pregnant, which meant she had just passed the dangerous period.

"Qiu Shui, of course. So... hehe."

...

The Zhang family was filled with joy. Zhang Ran had recently accepted fewer disciples because he now only sought those with high talent.

Two months later.

A sudden disturbance emanated from a mansion in the inner city.

Although Zhang Tianlin concealed his breakthrough with an array formation, he couldn't hide it from Zhang Ran.

"Oh? Not bad, we finally have a second disciple in the Core Formation stage," Zhang Ran's divine sense penetrated the array formation of Zhang Tianlin's mansion and saw Zhang Tianlin at that moment, with a yellow pill floating above his head.

"A single-colored Core Formation, it seems his talent can only reach the mid-Core Formation stage."

Then Zhang Ran looked at the other disciples, some of whom had exceptional talents, even possessing seventh-grade spiritual roots.

Now they had reached the late Foundation Building stage, and within ten years, the Zhang family would undergo a major transformation.

When a batch of Core Formation disciples appeared, the Zhang family would truly have a solid foundation.

"Unfortunately, the Nascent Soul stage is still too difficult. If one of these seventh-grade spiritual roots disciples can achieve Nascent Soul, it would be a stroke of luck."

After Zhang Tianlin broke through to the Core Formation stage, he stayed in his room for half a month before going out.

At this moment, he became the second Core Formation disciple of the Zhang family after Zhang Tianyin. He looked radiant and seemed much younger.

With an additional eight hundred years of lifespan, his path to cultivation became even brighter.

Zhang Tianlin deeply bowed to Zhang Ran's mansion and said, "Thanks to the pills and guidance given by my father, otherwise it would have taken me at least ten years, or even failed, to break through to the Core Formation stage."

After entering the Core Formation stage, he gained many insights and went straight to the third floor of the inner city's cultivation hall.

Usually, only Zhang Tianyin and the other princes' wives could come here.

Now Zhang Tianlin could also stride in. With his Core Formation cultivation slightly revealed, he easily passed through the isolation formation on the third floor.

The other disciples were surprised and started discussing among themselves.

"Tianlin has reached Core Formation so quickly."

"I heard he made great contributions and received huge rewards. The prince worked hard to give him many rewards, so it's only natural for him to reach Core Formation."

"I'm envious. I heard that the third floor of the cultivation hall has Earth Rank techniques. I wonder which one Tianlin will choose."

Other members of the clan saw Zhang Tianlin's success and secretly worked hard as well.

There were already many disciples with higher talent than Zhang Tianlin among the seventh-grade spiritual roots disciples.

After Zhang Tianlin's breakthrough, a week passed, and Zhang Ran felt another disturbance, this time coming from the backyard of the prince's mansion.

"Susu has also broken through to the late Core Formation stage," Zhang Ran was surprised by Susu's realm advancement.

"Her Innate charm has become even more captivating, making her tireless and forgetful of time every time she practices the Extreme Bliss Technique with him. It seems that her cultivation progress is even faster than Wang Ling's."

Zhang Ran noticed that Su Su's cultivation was almost catching up to Wang Ling's. Although her Innate charm was not as strong as the Extreme Yin Physique in direct combat, it was slightly superior in certain aspects, such as cultivation.

"I wonder what level of strength Tian Yin will achieve after returning from the secret realm."

...

One week later.

Da Qian Imperial City.

The Nine Princes Mansion in the imperial city was already being taken care of by Zhang Tianan. He was the first Tier 3 alchemist among the younger disciples and resided in the Nine Princes Mansion to take charge of the Zhang Family's business in the imperial city.

Tomorrow would be the first day of the Zhang Family's business opening. Since it was the imperial city, Zhang Ran attached great importance to it and personally came.

Accompanying him was Zhang Tianfei (Zhang Fei), who was currently at the early stage of Foundation Building and had no more potential. It was better for him to help manage the industries in the imperial city.

Moreover, as the first successor of the Zhang Family's spiritual root, there naturally wasn't much objection.

As for Zhang Tianlin, he could still break through a few more stages. When his potential was exhausted, he would be responsible for taking care of the family's industries in his retirement.

As soon as Zhang Ran arrived at the Nine Princes Mansion in the imperial city, a group of high-ranking officials came to visit. Liu Cai walked over with a smiling face.

"Prince Nine, tomorrow is the opening of the Zhang Family's business. If there are any areas of cooperation in the future, we should have more contact," Liu Cai said respectfully.

The Zhang Family's industries were somewhat competitive with theirs. After all, Zhang Ran's elixirs would be self-produced and sold in the future, and a portion of the market would be taken away.

However, the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce spanned the entire Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain. They had seen all kinds of situations and didn't see any competitors in their eyes.

"Wherever, Mr. Liu is too kind. This is my first time doing business since arriving here. I still need to learn a lot from all of you," Zhang Ran humbly replied.

There were several cultivators in official robes beside them, including Wang Shangshu, Yin Prime Minister, and the head of the Zhou Family.

"Please have a seat, everyone. I am opening a business in the imperial city, and I will need your support and guidance in the future. We are all old friends who have been immersed in this local area for many years," Zhang Ran gestured and said.

Except for Liu Cai, the others had no conflicts of interest with Zhang Ran. There was also the Zhou Family, which operated in the imperial city, dealing with elixirs, refining tools, talismans, herbs, and so on.

They were all very polite to Zhang Ran.

In the past few months, Zhang Ran had not made empty promises in alchemy.

If he said he would produce five pills with certain ingredients, he would really produce a high-quality pill. His reputation had gone from initial skepticism to soaring heights. Although there were still many people slandering Zhang Ran, anyone who had bought pills from him would not go to another store in the future.

"Prince Nine, may I ask where your shop is located?" Liu Cai asked.

"Oh, it's right next to the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce," Zhang Ran said without any embarrassment. When doing business, the location was certainly important. The fragrance of wine was also afraid of deep alleys.

And being together with the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce was like the Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonald's of the previous life.

Liu Cai was somewhat surprised and exclaimed, "Prince Nine knows how to do business. It's a good choice to open next to our Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce." He didn't get angry either. After all, the current Prince Nine didn't have the strength to hold an auction.

Zhang Ran's high-quality pills of Tier 5 could only be auctioned through the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce.

And Zhang Ran was also very clear that rarity made things valuable. Although he had the ability to produce higher-quality pills, the quantity was too large and beyond reason, which would easily bring disaster upon himself.
