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

Some people suspect that this is trained by a top-tier fifth-level alchemist.

In the southern region of the Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain, there are not many fifth-level alchemists, and even fewer have a success rate of half in refining Soul Refining Pills.

Some Soul Formation ancestors are curious about which alchemist this is.

Liu Cai on the stage naturally wouldn't reveal the information of the auctioneer. "I'm sorry, I'm only responsible for the auction. I can't disclose the information of the seller."

"Liu Fellow Daoist, can you tell us if this person is a fifth-level alchemist?" Some people still want to thoroughly verify.

Liu Cai nodded.

"As expected."

Some people have decided to ask Liu Cai for information about this person after the auction, even if they have to pay for it.

Inside the private room, Zhang Ran looked at so many Soul Formation ancestors begging for his information, feeling a bit proud.

"The higher the level of alchemy and artifact forging, the more valuable it becomes. It seems that I have to go find Qian Emperor for some benefits."

After all, these identities are not about combat power. It is most necessary to convert more wealth.

In the later auctions, Zhang Ran purchased a lower-grade Earth Rank technique, some Profound Rank techniques, and a fourth-level Dao technique to fill the Zhang family's inventory.

After the auction, Zhang Ran went to the backstage to hand over with Liu Cai.

"Zhang Fellow Daoist, you are truly a genius. I didn't expect you to be a fifth-level formation master," Liu Cai directly addressed him as Fellow Daoist.

Zhang Ran modestly replied a few words and was about to leave. When he was about to leave, the person who wanted to have a detailed conversation with him left a message for him to meet at the Wanbao Tower.

"It's nothing. I have the items. I'll take my leave first."

"Zhang Fellow Daoist, someone will ask me for your information later. Should I tell them?"

Zhang Ran nodded. The bigger his reputation, the better. It wouldn't be surprising if Qian Emperor asked for his help in the future.

In a private room at the Wanbao Tower, Zhang Ran was led in by a beautiful Foundation Building Stage female cultivator.

"Prince Jiuhuang?" The people in the private room were surprised when they saw Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran was also slightly surprised when he saw her. It turned out to be his second senior sister. "Second Senior Sister, did you disguise your voice at the auction?"

At this moment, his second senior sister looked surprised, her small mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but stopped. After a long time, she came back to her senses.

"Yes, I didn't want my father to know what I was doing, so I disguised my voice." Li Qiushui's gaze shifted away, not daring to look into Zhang Ran's eyes. There were too many familiar people in the imperial city, and she was afraid of being recognized, so she disguised her voice.

Since the last enthronement ceremony, Zhang Ran hadn't seen his second senior sister for fifteen years. Now that he saw her, she was still so stunning. Zhang Ran also knew a bit about her father, Li Canghai.

He was a half-step Soul Formation cultivator, and his legal wife was a saint of the Jun family. No wonder he had such a beautiful daughter like Li Qiushui, and her talent was also outstanding.

Afterwards, Zhang Ran specifically talked to Yu Yan about this matter. Unexpectedly, when Yu Yan heard the words "saint of the Jun family," she gritted her teeth in hatred.

Zhang Ran finally understood why Yu Yan had come to the Six Sects' territory. It turned out that she had been chased by the saint of the Jun family and had taken refuge here. She had no intention of offending Li Canghai back then, but who knew that the saint would send people to chase her.

After learning about this, Zhang Ran said, "Yu Yan, I will avenge this grudge for you."

But Yu Yan said, "Forget it. After all, she is your second senior sister's mother."

Zhang Ran thought about it and realized that it was true. What should he do? He was in a dilemma for a while, but there must be a solution. Zhang Ran thought about it for several days.

Even one day when he was with Li Qin, he muttered about Yu Yan, which earned him three punishments from Li Qin on the spot.

Li Qin said, "Finally, we have some time alone, and you're still thinking about that."

After returning to the private room at the Wanbao Tower, Zhang Ran sat opposite his second senior sister.

Li Qiushui looked at her junior brother whom she met for the second time and felt a bit awkward. She forgot for a moment why she had called him here.

"Second Senior Sister, you called me here for something. Just say it. Earlier, you were surprised and called me Prince Jiuhuang," Zhang Ran broke the subtle atmosphere.

His second senior sister felt a little embarrassed, knowing that calling Zhang Ran Prince Jiuhuang seemed a bit unfamiliar.

"I..."

Before she could speak, Zhang Ran interrupted.

"I don't mind, Senior Sister. After all, we're not familiar with each other. If you were overly enthusiastic towards me when we first met, I would have found it strange," Zhang Ran's words made Second Senior Sister feel slightly relieved.

"Zhang, Zhang Junior Brother, I do have a favor to ask," Li Qiushui hesitantly spoke up, keeping her head down and avoiding direct eye contact with Zhang Ran.

In the end, it was Zhang Ran's awkward identity that caused the dilemma. His father had pursued Li Qiushui's wife, and Yu Yan was considered his master. Zhang Ran was Li Qiushui's junior brother, and they didn't know how to interact with each other in this context.

"Junior Sister, you can speak freely. Today, we are here to discuss matters. You are so eager to find a fifth-level formation master, so it must be something important," Zhang Ran keenly observed Li Qiushui's lowered head and evasive eyes, knowing what was on her mind.

"Junior... Brother, it's like this. I recently obtained the location of a fallen Soul Formation cultivator's Cave Mansion. It is protected by a fifth-level formation, so..." Second Senior Sister stumbled through explaining the situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh. Second Senior Sister was so naive. What if she contacted a bad person who harmed her? At least, if it was her junior brother, he wouldn't harm her.

"Second Senior Sister, aren't you afraid that you might contact a bad person who will harm you?"

"I have many means of protection. It's not so easy for a Nascent Soul cultivator to kill me," her father loved her very much and gave her many talismans and treasures for self-defense. He even refined a divine talisman that required a great deal of energy and time.

This divine talisman contained a Nascent Soul cultivator's condensed Divine Ability, and the price of refining such a talisman was comparable to a fourth-level pill.

Therefore, it wasn't easy to obtain one unless someone cared deeply for their junior. Even Zhang Ran hadn't refined one. He could refine hundreds of fourth-level talismans in a month, but he could only refine one divine talisman. However, the power of the divine talisman was much greater than that of ordinary talismans, almost equivalent to the personal intervention of a refining cultivator.

Zhang Ran said, "In that case, Second Senior Sister, let's exchange communication stones. Contact me before you set off."

"That's great, Junior Brother. I'll take my leave then..." Second Senior Sister happily said in a soft voice, then got up and shyly left.

Zhang Ran wasn't worried about any danger when going out with Second Senior Sister. After all, he was comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and he could be a little more daring and go out for a stroll. After all these years, he hadn't even been to the so-called secret Cave Mansions.

He had lost count of how many disciples and descendants he had, but he hadn't explored this old ancestor's Cave Mansion. It was really disappointing.

····

After returning to the Zhang family, Zhang Ran made an announcement.

Because the family was now entering the third and even seventh generation, things were starting to get chaotic.

So Zhang Ran decided to establish generation names to avoid confusion.

The generation names were as follows: Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong, Huang, Ri, Yue, Ying, Ze, Chen, Su, Lie, Zhang.

The first generation was Zhang Tian*, the second generation was Zhang Di*, and so on.

Therefore, from now on, Zhang Yin would be called Zhang Tian Yin, Zhang Fei would be called Zhang Tian Fei, and Zhang Youming would be called Zhang Tian Ming.

Zhang Youming felt that this name sounded unpleasant, so he suggested being called Zhang Tian Ming instead.

A total of twelve generations were established, and now the Zhang family had at least seven or eight generations. If there were more in the future, they would continue the naming convention, perhaps even reaching a hundred or a thousand generations.

If Zhang Ran didn't look at their bloodlines, he probably wouldn't recognize these children.

At the same time, someone unexpected arrived at the Zhang family.

In the main hall of the Zhang family, Hua Weimian was dressed in palace attire, holding a little girl's hand and standing in the center. When she saw Zhang Ran approaching, Hua Weimian smiled knowingly.

"Prince Jiu, you still look as elegant as ever."

Zhang Ran was genuinely happy to see Hua Weimian. It had been over a decade, and the sect leader had become even more beautiful. "Master Hua, it's been a while. I hope you've been well."

However, when he saw the little girl by Hua Weimian's side, he became puzzled. How could this girl not have grown up after several decades? She still looked the same.

He began to suspect Hua Weimian's intentions for coming today.

"Master Hua, please have a seat since you've come all this way. Let me make you a cup of tea," Zhang Ran proudly took out a few spirit herbs from his Spirit Vein and used them to brew tea. These spirit herbs not only enhanced the taste of the tea but also subtly improved one's cultivation and comprehension.

Most importantly, the tea he brewed was even better than the one Hua Weimian made.
