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

On the grand hall of the Zhang family.

Zhang Ran sat in the first seat, while five gray-haired offspring stood respectfully below, some male and some female, all of them Zhang Ran's children.

Although this scene looked somewhat comical, it was a common sight in the cultivation world.

"I understand, it's just that Zhang Ying has passed away peacefully. If you want to take over the market in the east of Qi Kingdom, go ahead," Zhang Ran leisurely said. He had never bothered with these mundane matters and simply dismissed them with a casual order.

"In the future, go find the Madam for these matters."

Zhang Ran handed over all the mundane industries to Yang Huanyu to manage. He had also thought of many ways for Yang Huanyu to cultivate, but without spiritual roots, it was impossible.

Spiritual roots were a gift from heaven. Besides him, who had a system, he had never heard of anyone obtaining spiritual roots after birth.

"If it can increase lifespan, that's fine."

Now, Zhang Ran's offspring had already surpassed a thousand and were about to break through two thousand. He discovered that there were rewards for his offspring giving birth, although they were rare, the quantity was large. Unfortunately, no one could give birth to offspring with spiritual roots, otherwise, there would be many rewards.

Moreover, the Dragon Yang Body Refining Technique didn't require him to specially cultivate it. With the continuous birth of his offspring, he naturally cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Zhang Ran took out the Qingming Sword and slashed it across his arm, leaving only a white mark. Although he didn't use much force, it still showed the terror of his physical body.

"With such a physique, in the Qi Refining stage, if I were to fight against someone, I can completely give up defense."

From then on, Zhang Ran focused all his energy on marrying female cultivators. However, the age requirement was not as strict anymore, as long as they were good-looking.

If he were to pursue a female cultivator who was three thousand years old, wouldn't he directly rank among the immortals?

Another half a year passed.

Zhang Ran brought back a female cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining from the Evergreen Sect. She had just joined the sect and her spiritual roots were not good. After encountering Zhang Ran, she sought his advice on cultivation.

The two of them hit it off.

On this day, a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining came to the Zhang family and delivered an invitation to Zhang Ran.

"The Immortal Clan Banquet?"

Zhang Ran was puzzled.

"Master Zhang, your family has only established itself for less than a hundred years, so it's understandable that you don't know. The Immortal Clan Banquet is a gathering organized by nearby cultivation families every ten years to promote communication among cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran understood. In the gathering, they could exchange resources and obtain what they needed. Moreover, there were some dangerous places that he didn't dare to explore. If he made friends with other Fellow Daoists at this banquet, they could explore together.

Most importantly, families could also cooperate and reach agreements with each other.

Only Zhang Ran had a system and could make progress on his own. Other cultivators were ordinary and could benefit greatly from interacting with more cultivators.

"Held every ten years, why wasn't I invited before?" Zhang Ran said with some displeasure. Did the nearby cultivation families look down on him?

Everyone was at the Qi Refining stage, and he was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The messenger was somewhat uncomfortable under Zhang Ran's aura and couldn't help but panic. He thought to himself, how could the cultivation level of this Zhang family's master be so terrifying?

He quickly explained, "It's like this, Master Zhang. Previously, there was only one cultivator in your family. In order to be considered a cultivation family in the cultivation world, there must be at least two cultivators in the family. That's why no one invited you at that time."

After hearing this, Zhang Ran understood. There was such a rule. However, he was still very interested in this banquet. Many nearby cultivation families had not interacted much with each other.

Most importantly, if so many cultivators gathered, it would be great if he could bring back a few female cultivators.

"Alright, I'll accept the invitation. I will attend when the time comes. You may leave now."

Half a month later, Zhang Ran set off alone from the Zhang family, transforming into a green rainbow and soaring into the sky.

The location of the banquet was not very far, and flying on his sword was just enough. With his current cultivation level at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he had enough energy to support this journey.

"The master has flown away again."

"I wish I could become an immortal like the head of the family."

The group of birds below watched Zhang Ran fly away with admiration. Even though Zhang Ran couldn't have everything, they were not the least bit dissatisfied. On the contrary, their admiration and adoration grew deeper.

The so-called gathering of immortal cultivation families.

It took place in a location called Nantian City.

This is a city inhabited only by cultivators.

This city was established by the Evergreen Sect and many other cultivation families.

Every gathering of the immortal clans takes place in this city.

This was Zhang Ran's first time coming here. He had been too busy cultivating on a daily basis to have time to wander around.

"It truly is a city of cultivators."

Zhang Ran landed at the city gate, which had no guards. There was a simple formation gate, and without cultivation, one could not enter unless accompanied by a cultivator.

As Zhang Ran stepped into the formation gate, ripples appeared on the gate.

After entering,

The buildings on both sides were much taller than those in mortal cities.

But the tallest ones were only three stories high.

There were many people coming and going, apart from the Evergreen Sect, this was the place where Zhang Ran saw the most cultivators.

Along the main road, there were many cultivators displaying Law Weapons, pills, sitting cross-legged behind them, waiting quietly for someone to come and trade.

Zhang Ran looked around along the way.

He found that most of them were of no use. Some Law Weapons were extremely damaged and would probably be scrapped after a few uses. There were also some spiritual medicines and herbs used as auxiliary materials for refining pills.

Occasionally, there were some intact ones, but they were expensive. Even a common low-grade Law Weapon attracted a lot of people bargaining and competing for it.

Zhang Ran thought of the Qingming Sword and had always hoped that the system would reward him with a better Law Weapon. It seemed that this low-grade Law Weapon was already quite precious.

As Zhang Ran moved around, he also attracted the attention of many people.

After all, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he was already considered a high-level cultivator at this stage, and he was still so young. Many people couldn't help but speculate about his identity.

Among the cultivators present, the younger ones were only at the second or third level of Qi Refining. Some astonishingly talented juniors had reached the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining, which had already made many people envious.

A few young female cultivators watched Zhang Ran from a distance and whispered to each other.

"Who is he? He gives me the same oppressive feeling as my elders, yet he is so young, and he seems unfamiliar."

"He is a disciple of the Evergreen Sect, Zhang Ran. He has also established his own cultivation family."

"So he's the one who turned Azure Sun City into his own family. Zhang Family's head?"

"Oh, Wan Junior Sister has also heard of him?"

"Yes, I heard from an elder. Zhang Ran has remained young for decades. Some people initially thought he had only taken a youth-preserving pill and would die in a few years. But every time they meet him, his cultivation level as the head of the Zhang Family has become stronger. So many nearby cultivators have some understanding of him. He's a mysterious person."

Lin Wanru, a junior from the nearby Lin Family, was youthful and beautiful, with a tall figure. She could be described as having a loli face and a devilish figure.

And she was also a disciple of the Evergreen Sect, so she had some impression of Zhang Ran.

"Is he really that amazing? Then Zhang Ran must have something extraordinary about him, otherwise how could he have reached the later stage of Qi Refining?" After hearing this, some female cultivators became curious about Zhang Ran.

At this moment, Zhang Ran walked to a stall selling talisman paper, talisman brushes, and ink.

"Boss, give me fifty first-grade talisman papers and a talisman brush."

After so many years in the Evergreen Sect, Zhang Ran had accumulated some spirit stones and didn't have many needs on a daily basis, so he saved them up. He couldn't waste his own talisman-making skills.
