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

The people of Little Rain Peak haven't gathered together for many years. Apart from Senior Sister Six, this is the first time it has been so lively. Four people inside even have slightly bulging bellies.

In the alchemy room.

"Sister, is this how you control the fire for alchemy?"

"Sister, be gentle, otherwise the medicinal power will dissipate."

"Sister, this won't work. If you do it like this, the pill will explode. Let me do it."

Li Qiushui blushed, and Zhang Ran embraced her from behind, holding her wrist and using her hand to control the alchemy furnace.

"Younger brother, is alchemy really taught like this?" Li Qiushui's face was already flushed. The temperature here was already high, making her back sweaty.

"Otherwise, how else can you improve faster?"

After a while, when the pill reached the time for self-combustion, Li Qiushui also felt tired. She realized how exhausting and energy-consuming alchemy was, and truly admired Zhang Ran.

Only then did she notice that she was still sitting in someone's embrace. Her body stiffened and she dared not move. Suddenly, a big hand turned her around, and their eyes met. In this already scorching room, even the water evaporated smoothly.

"Younger brother, this won't do. If I go back, my parents will definitely find out, and then I'll never be able to come out again. I'll never dare to go back."

Li Qiushui's family was strict, and Zhang Ran only had a shallow taste. He couldn't let Senior Sister Two be caught in a dilemma because of his selfish desires. It seemed that he had to find a way to deal with her parents.

After Zhang Ran finished refining the pill for Senior Sister Two, he sent her back. When they left, they naturally couldn't do without some affectionate gestures.

While they were refining pills, Zhang Ran had already made many intimate moves under the pretext of teaching Senior Sister Two alchemy.

At this moment, as the sun set, the two of them cuddled for a while before Li Qiushui reluctantly left.

...

In the imperial city, Zhang Tianming sighed every day.

After he came to the academy, Zhang Ran would occasionally ask him from a distance if he had met a female cultivator.

"Dad, I'm always focused on cultivation. How can I have so much time for love affairs?"

A month passed.

Zhang Ran's family was steadily growing every month.

During this month, the name of the Ninth Prince spread throughout the entire Daqian Dynasty, and even the outside forces were inquiring about him.

A fifth-grade alchemist, a fifth-grade formation master—these pieces of news were revealed after the auction of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce. The name of the Ninth Prince once again entered everyone's eyes.

In this month, more than twenty Soul Formation cultivators visited Zhang Ran one after another. Previously, some people in Daqian were somewhat dissatisfied with him, but now they were all polite and sincerely made friends.

Even the Emperor of Daqian was surprised when he found out and arranged for Prime Minister Yin to bring generous gifts.

"Ninth Prince, it's been a few years since we last met, and you have once again caused a sensation in Daqian."

Zhang Ran had always had a good impression of Prime Minister Yin, so he prepared good tea for him.

"Prime Minister Yin, your cultivation has also improved, hasn't it?"

In Zhang Ran's perception, Prime Minister Yin was about to reach the ninth level of Nascent Soul. It was already quite fast to make such progress in fifteen years.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators remained stagnant for hundreds or even thousands of years. This was also why Zhang Ran's cultivation realm had grown so slowly despite receiving thousands of years of cultivation experience.

"Ninth Prince, His Majesty has brought you some valuable gifts this time."

After saying that, Prime Minister Yin opened his storage ring. Not only were there piles of spirit stones, but also many spiritual medicines.

"The most important thing is that the Emperor has also given you two mortal-grade spiritual veins."

Zhang Ran was overjoyed when he heard this. These spiritual veins were extremely important. They could be used to cultivate spiritual fields and increase the spiritual energy of the clan. They could also be used to establish five more cultivation rooms.

The cultivation rooms in the clan were currently in short supply and not enough.

A week later, the spiritual veins were delivered by professionals.

After that, Prime Minister Yin said, "His Majesty intends to betroth Princess Qianxin to you. I wonder what the Ninth Prince thinks?"

Zhang Ran was not surprised by the Emperor's move. After all, his current status was enough to make the Emperor pay more attention to him.

Princess Qianxin, Zhang Ran had seen her in the enthronement hall before. She had a naturally exquisite appearance, was at the late stage of Core Formation, and had an extraordinary temperament. Perhaps it was because she had been a princess for many years, she carried a strong sense of nobility. She was a rare talented woman.

Of course, Zhang Ran agreed. It wasn't a bad thing after all.

Emperor Gan also gave Zhang Ran face and didn't make things difficult for him. After all, many of Zhang Ran's wives hadn't had a wedding ceremony, so Zhang Ran could handle it himself.

On that day, Zhang Ran held a low-key wedding within the family.

With the arrival of two spiritual veins, ten top-level cultivation rooms were added.

Zhang Ran also arranged a grading system for these cultivation rooms.

The closest to the spiritual veins were ranked as level one.

There were a total of ten rows, with the last row being level ten, although the effect of level ten was only one-tenth of level one.

And the effect of human-level spiritual veins was ten times that of mortal-level spiritual veins.

As the number of people increased and the demand for cultivation grew, Zhang Ran's wives, Wang Ling, Master Yu Yan, and others all considered that they would have to charge spirit stones for these cultivation rooms.

After hearing this, Zhang Ran also agreed. The family's current income mostly relied on Zhang Ran alone, and the family didn't have a formal financial system.

The spirit stones from these cultivation rooms would serve as the family's reserve, including the rewards received from the tasks in the mission hall. Part of it would be given to the younger disciples, while the other part would be stored in the family's reserves.

In the future, the younger disciples would no longer need Zhang Ran to pay for their salaries. The family would have its own funds to operate. Of course, at the current stage, Zhang Ran still needed to pay, but in the future, when the family expanded, it might be able to support Zhang Ran in return.

For the steward of these resources, the women chose Yang Huanyu. Although she was a mortal, she managed the mundane business affairs in an orderly manner.

The Zhang family had opened cloth shops and tea shops in many cities in Daqian.

And now, some of the Zhang family's specialties, such as spirit tea, elixirs, talismans, and refining tools, would appear in Daqian and even in the Tianan Realm as the development progressed.

"Yang Jie, you are the best at business among us. We plan to entrust all of the Zhang family's business affairs to you, and we are very confident in you."

Yang Huanyu looked at everyone recommending her and agreed. Previously, she had been managing mortal business affairs, but now she started organizing the affairs of cultivators. In the end, she was still a bit nervous.

But she was also very diligent. Although she wasn't a cultivator and didn't have the ability to memorize things at a glance, Zhang Ran was an alchemist. He specially refined some special elixirs for her to enhance her physical and spiritual strength. Now she could defeat more than ten Innate experts.

And her lifespan had also been increased to over six hundred years by Zhang Ran.

After Yang Huanyu started handling these matters, it took her a week to familiarize herself with all the prices in the cultivation world before she began setting rules.

The prices for the cultivation rooms, as well as the Martial Arts Hall, Divine Weapon Pavilion, Talisman Pavilion, Puppet Pavilion, and Elixir Pavilion, which were places for finished products, were all taken over by Yang Huanyu.

It was difficult at first, but with time, there would inevitably be improvement. Zhang Ran was very pleased with the progress.

On this day, Zhang Ran looked at the empty houses in the Su family and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Su Su had run away to the academy again.

"Ah, she's still a little girl at heart. She's already the mother of several children, but she still can't get along with Zhang Tianyin day after day."

After returning, Zhang Ran began cultivating the Hehuan Jile Gong. Su Su bothered him the most during his cultivation time, but she benefited the most from it. Her power increased greatly.

Now she must have gone to the academy to fight Zhang Lingyin.

In the past fifteen years, these two had fought five times, and Su Su had lost every time. In the end, it was because the improvement in her Innate charm body wasn't significant. If the opponent were male, she might easily lose, but Zhang Tianyin was female, so it didn't work at all.

·····

In the academy,

Zhang Tianming, who was cultivating, suddenly heard a commotion outside.

He went out to take a look and saw many students rushing towards a certain place.

"What's going on?"

He vaguely heard someone shouting Zhang Tianyin's name.

"Sister?"

Zhang Tianming walked out with curiosity, attracting the attention of many people. After all, Zhang Tianming had disappeared after coming to the academy, and this mysterious person had never made a move, so no one knew how capable he was. But the killing intent emanating from Zhang Tianming made people not dare to underestimate him.

There were dense crowds in front, with a huge arena in the middle, and two beautiful women standing on it. One had a graceful temperament, while the other was dressed in black, exuding a charming aura.

People below were whispering.

"It's them again. This is their sixth fight. They are so eye-catching. It's a pity that the witch is already the Ninth Prince's person."

"You're looking for death, daring to have thoughts about the Ninth Prince's person."

"Where did I? I was just saying."

The one on the stage was indeed Zhang Tianyin and the witch Su Su. At this time, Su Su was already at the fifth level of Core Formation, almost reaching the sixth level. Her cultivation was slightly higher than Zhang Tianyin's, and she exuded an even more enchanting aura, making many male disciples in the academy respect her.

"Everyone, focus your minds. Su Su's charm body has become even stronger. Be careful not to have your spiritual energy sucked away. If your foundation is damaged, you won't be able to make progress in the future." A low voice sounded.

The male disciples all woke up and looked at Su Su's eyes with fear instead of infatuation. She had been too terrifying just now. Even several Core Formation cultivators were the same.

Just imagine if it were themselves on the stage, they would probably be dead by now. The thought sent shivers down their spines.
