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

The battle in the mine has been ongoing and intensifying with time.

Every sect has started experiencing varying degrees of casualties. The Snow Wolf vein has suffered a significant increase in casualties since Zhang Ran's absence.

The Evergreen Sect has also started reducing its personnel, with some smaller spiritual mines being abandoned altogether.

The three major veins now have Core Formation elders stationed there.

This also indicates that the strength and number of demons and monsters are increasing.

Although Zhang Ran is not on the front lines, he knows that this is not a good sign.

"It means that the seal underground is still loosening. What are these six sects doing? Why is there no improvement at all?" Zhang Ran can't help but want to go to the sect leader and ask what they are doing.

When the sixth senior sister left, she specifically came to the Zhang family.

She said the same thing to Zhang Ran, asking if he wanted to leave with her.

The sixth senior sister has also reached Core Formation, with a three-colored Core Formation. She keeps a low profile, and apart from the people on Little Rain Peak and the sect leader, no one in the Evergreen Sect knows about it.

When Zhang Ran looked at the beautiful face of the sixth senior sister, his thoughts remained unchanged.

"It's really a pity that you're not leaving."

The sixth senior sister, Mo Ruyan, immediately wanted to spar with Zhang Ran again. Her strength has greatly increased after reaching three-colored Core Formation. She even said that in order not to bully Zhang Ran, she wouldn't use any treasures.

The result is self-evident. How can three colors compare to six colors?

Even when Zhang Ran displayed the power of a second-level Dao technique, it was still stronger than Mo Ruyan's third-level display.

After just a few rounds, Mo Ruyan was defeated.

"Junior Brother Zhang, your strength really surprised me, but I haven't fully utilized the power of my Heavenly Spirit Body," Zhang Ran said lightly. "You can use it if you want. I didn't say you couldn't."

This angered Mo Ruyan, and they immediately started fighting again.

Two minutes later, Zhang Ran proudly pinned Mo Ruyan to the ground. "Do you submit?"

"You... Are you really just three-colored Core Formation? Or is your cultivation technique the legendary Heavenly Rank?" You should know that she cultivated an Earth Rank technique, and Zhang Ran's displayed strength far exceeded the normal level. Even three colors shouldn't be this strong.

"Three colors are just three colors, Senior Sister Mo. How about you defeat me before leaving?" Zhang Ran was a little reluctant to let Mo Ruyan go.

"You get up first. What will we look like like this?"

"You promised me, then get up."

"You!!" Mo Ruyan glared at Zhang Ran with anger in her beautiful eyes.

Zhang Ran seemed indifferent and remained motionless.

In the end,

Mo Ruyan left somewhat dejectedly.

Zhang Ran accompanied Mo Ruyan for a while.

"Senior Sister Mo, how far is Dao Prefecture from here?"

"It's not very far. We can use a teleportation array. It's just more expensive to go from the south, probably more than ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."

"Ten thousand high-grade?" Zhang Ran exclaimed. This was too exaggerated.

Mo Ruyan smiled, the first time Zhang Ran had seen her smile. "Junior Brother Zhang, I will come to see you when I have the time. I believe that in the future on the path of immortality, you will definitely be able to accompany me."

"Senior Sister Mo, I don't know how long it will be before we meet again. Shall we do something to commemorate it?"

"What do you want to do?"

Zhang Ran rubbed his head. "How about doing something you've never done before?"

"Something I've never done before?"

Zhang Ran didn't care and directly hugged her tightly.

Sixth Senior Sister wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked.

After a while, they separated.

"Zhang Junior Brother, you really are not a good person," Sixth Senior Sister said as she left, leaving behind these words.

Zhang Ran watched as Sixth Senior Sister's carriage, which was carved from jade, pulled by a demonic beast, departed. Zhang Ran couldn't even discern her cultivation level.

"Sixth Senior Sister, she is the only one who came to my Zhang family and didn't leave," Zhang Ran said.

When Zhang Ran returned, he saw dozens of beautiful women standing at the entrance of his house.

The two leading Foundation Building female cultivators, Huang Jiaxin and Eleventh Senior Sister Gu Yunxiang, smiled at Zhang Ran.

"Husband, it seems that Sixth Senior Sister is the only one who entered the Zhang family and didn't leave," Eleventh Senior Sister retorted. "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Big Senior Sister also not stay?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ran coughed awkwardly.

"Alright, alright, stop making fun of me. Sixth Senior Sister has her own goals, and all of you should focus on cultivation. Otherwise, as Sixth Senior Sister said, how many people can accompany me after ten thousand years?" Zhang Ran sighed. Upon hearing this, the Qi Refining stage women felt even more disheartened. Foundation Building was already difficult to achieve, let alone ten thousand years.

"Husband, don't worry. You are exceptionally talented, but not everyone can be like you. Isn't it enough for us to be together during this time? If we can break through, it would be a pleasant surprise. Besides, are you afraid of not finding a wife after ten thousand years?" With these words, everyone forgot about their worries. Most of them were content with the sufficient supply of pills and the cultivation environment provided by the Spirit Gathering formation.

And if their talent was not enough, working hard would be futile. It was better to live happily.

...

After Sixth Senior Sister left, Little Rain Peak remained the same.

Zhang Ran occasionally visited a few times. Fifth Senior Sister, in order to break through to the later stage of Foundation Building, also became closer to Zhang Ran, as expected.

Since coming to the Zhang family, she had become a member of the Zhang family.

Fifth Senior Sister's name was Qingsi. She always wore a green dress, exuding an elegant aura. Every time Zhang Ran was with her, he felt that doing certain things was a bit disrespectful to such a woman. However, the stark contrast also made Zhang Ran somewhat indulgent.

Time passed slowly and quickly.

One year.

Two years.

Three years.

Five years.

...

Fifteen years had passed.

During these fifteen years, there were tremendous changes in the land of the six sects.

Except for the main veins, the six sects had all been abandoned. Moreover, a wave of hunting demons and monsters swept through the land, affecting not only the sects and clans but also mortal kingdoms.

Some remote small clans or cities were conquered by those demons and monsters.

Due to its proximity to the Evergreen Sect, the Qi Kingdom was not greatly affected, but everyone was prepared, fearing being implicated.

Therefore, many people, including the Qi Kingdom's royal family, other small cultivation families, and independent cultivators, came to seek refuge in the Zhang family.

This was because the Zhang family had a huge third-tier formation, and rumors spread that it was personally arranged by the Zhang family's ancestor, Zhang Ran.

However, when other formations heard about it, they scoffed.

"What a joke, you ignorant people are just talking nonsense. The Zhang family exaggerated the matter to boast about their ancestor. Anyone who knows a bit about formations would know that one person couldn't arrange it all. Does he think he's a fourth-tier formation master?"

Nevertheless, this did not diminish the appeal of the Zhang family. Everyone knew that the Zhang family's ancestor had a preference for beautiful female cultivators, so they had a sense of self-awareness.

Zhang Ran also refrained from being too selective. In these fifteen years, he had taken in a total of forty-three Qi Refining stage women.

There were five Foundation Building stage women, which was already quite a lot. This didn't include the ones from the Evergreen Sect; they were all independent cultivators or women from other forces.

Most of the Foundation Building stage women were already quite old and not particularly beautiful. Therefore, these five were all in the early stage of Foundation Building and relatively young.

And in these fifteen years, he finally had a hundred descendants with spiritual roots.
