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

"Alright, then I will patiently wait for Fellow Daoist's good news. This is a rare opportunity to comprehend the sixth-level Array Dao." Yang Xinglong's face showed a hint of regret. It seemed that Zhang Ran was most likely not going.

He could understand. The Thunderbird clan was not easy to provoke. With three Nascent Soul demonic beasts and several Core Formation Stage lackeys, it would indeed be risky for someone at the early Nascent Soul stage to go.

Then he looked at the others, seeing if there were suitable candidates.

Three months later,

Zhang Ran had already completed his task and bid farewell to everyone.

The two Soul Formation cultivators also opened their eyes and praised, "The Ninth Prince's attainments. If he can obtain several Innate arrays, he might even be able to advance to the sixth level."

"Where, I am only more familiar with this formation than you all. After all, I have lived here for a long time, so I am naturally more skilled. Please don't praise me." Zhang Ran was very humble, which made these people have a good impression of him.

The old man from the Northern Moon Sect still wanted to invite Zhang Ran, but Zhang Ran reluctantly declined, saying it was too dangerous and he didn't want to risk his life.

After completing his task, Zhang Ran found Li Qiushui and went to the Cave Mansion mentioned by Zhang Hua.

This place was located between the Evergreen Sect and the former Earth Spirit Sect.

With Zhang Ran's vast divine sense, he discovered a clue. Under a newly formed river, there was a dark cave where faint spiritual energy flowed.

Zhang Ran decisively entered, and Li Qiushui followed suit.

The deep cave entrance had already been irrigated by water, but after going about a hundred meters deep, the water disappeared.

They continued to go deeper for about a kilometer, and the concentration of spiritual energy inside increased several times. Zhang Ran also activated his protective shield and proceeded with caution.

When he saw a golden light ahead, Zhang Ran slowed down. Both sides were slippery stone walls, with some weeds growing underfoot. In addition, there was a strange stench that made people nauseous.

Upon closer inspection, it was a place similar to a cave, about three hundred cubic meters in size.

Inside, there were ten insect eggs, and many of them had already hatched. There were also many demonic beast skeletons, as well as the remains of some cultivators' clothing and magic treasures. The foul smell emanated from here.

"These are the eggs of the Gold-devouring Worms." Even though Zhang Ran didn't know much about spiritual insects, he knew about the infamous Gold-devouring Worms, which ranked twelfth on the list of extraordinary insects.

"Husband, these three eggs are about to hatch. We can take them back and cultivate them." The two of them showed joy. This harvest was too great.

Zhang Ran waved his hand and put away the Gold-devouring Worms.

"Let's go home."

"Okay."

Hua Weimian watched the figure in the distance disappear into the sky and whispered, "I hope you can cure Hua Qianshang."

Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain

In the void, Zhang Ran and Li Qiushui indulged themselves, having a great time.

Until Li Qiushui was exhausted, Zhang Ran gently held her in his arms.

"Qiushui, aren't you going back?"

"I'll stay with you and our senior sisters. Besides, it's very convenient for me to cultivate there. I occasionally go to the academy too." Li Qiushui's eyes were seductive, and her skin was now rosy, like a ripe apple.

Zhang Ran smiled devilishly. "Senior sister, if you come to my place, you might have to have a baby."

Li Qiushui playfully smiled. "So what? Senior sisters have already had so many. Can't I do it too?"

"In that case, why wait? Let's work hard now."

····

Back at the Zhang family, the first thing Zhang Ran did was choose the location for the Spirit Beast Garden. Because it was an independent small world, it didn't take up space in the clan.

Zhang Ran knew very well how precious such a small world was. Even the Great Qian Dynasty only had one, which was used by the former emperor for seclusion.

Zhang Ran's Spirit Beast Garden was very well-equipped.

Inside, there is a space for demonic beasts, as well as a space for spiritual insects. In addition, there is also a sea area where aquatic demonic beasts live.

It is divided into three sections, and within these three sections, there are many smaller sections to separate different types of demonic beasts to prevent them from fighting each other.

Such a spiritual beast garden would definitely attract the envy of other forces, so Zhang Ran placed it in the inner city, near the cemetery next to the back mountain. Only he, his wife, and some elite descendants can come here.

Zhang Ran waved his hand, and the spiritual beast garden floated out of the system, forming a circle of light gates in front of him. This is the portal to enter the small world. Zhang Ran stepped in.

Arriving at the area for spiritual insects, each environment here has its own unique features, such as volcanoes, glaciers, caves, swamps, etc., all designed to adapt to the cultivation of spiritual insects.

Zhang Ran placed the gold-devouring insects in an environment similar to a cave. He didn't need to drip his blood because the spiritual beast garden has a function. The spiritual insects hatched or raised to maturity inside are automatically considered under Zhang Ran's control, which solves his worries.

Back in the outside world, he temporarily closed the entrance to the small world to prevent clan members from accidentally entering. He will open it completely once he fully understands the method of cultivating spiritual beasts.

At the same time, he also went to visit Zhang Qingyun.

"Your child, Zhang Hua, will stay in the ancestral land from now on. I have prepared a lot of cultivation resources for him."

Zhang Tianyun (formerly known as Zhang Qingyun) was delighted to learn that Zhang Hua was still alive. He was very grateful that Zhang Ran still remembered them. Since his birth, he had only seen Zhang Ran a few times, so it would be false to say that he had no grievances.

Unfortunately, his talent was not good, and he was born from a concubine. Some people even called him illegitimate. Of course, Zhang Ran did not allow such inequality in the family, but there were still people who mocked him privately.

"Dad, Qingyun also wants to bring his family back to the ancestral land." Zhang Qingyun was a little tired. He only had less than a hundred years left to live, and his second-grade spiritual root had no hope of reaching Foundation Building. After all, his mother was not Yang Huanyu, but just a concubine. She could turn Zhang Fei's first-grade spiritual root into Foundation Building cultivation with abundant resources, but he didn't have that kind of luck.

Zhang Ran nodded, respecting his wishes. He also owed many offspring. As a father, he was not qualified, but there was nothing he could do. The world of cultivation was inherently ruthless.

"Qingyun, if you return to the ancestral land, I will arrange for the city lord of Heavenly River City to escort you. The cultivation resources in the ancestral land are scarce, so take these with you." Zhang Ran handed over a storage ring. Heavenly River City is a city under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Prince.

Zhang Qingyun thanked him, and finally, Zhang Ran had a detailed conversation with him before taking a walk by the lake in the Zhang family. At this moment, the two seemed like a father and son.

Leaving the Zhang family, Zhang Ran directly took the teleportation array to the Myriad Beast Sect located in the central region.

He learned that this sect was one of the best in cultivating demonic beasts in the Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain, surpassing the Beast Taming Sect in the south.

...

Ten days later.

The Myriad Beast Sect is located by an inland sea, perhaps chosen for breeding aquatic demonic beasts.

Today, outside the Myriad Beast Sect, a magnificent golden carriage arrived, with nine characters engraved on it.

"Nine Prince, upon hearing that you were coming, our entire Myriad Beast Sect has been waiting for you." The one welcoming Zhang Ran was a Soul Formation expert and also the sect master of the Myriad Beast Sect.

This person had a delicate appearance, dressed in white, with no hint of connection to breeding demonic beasts.

"Master Wan, no need to be so polite." Zhang Ran stepped out of the carriage and slightly bowed. He noticed that there were thousands of people waiting here, with the sect master at the forefront and a young female cultivator behind him, her bold gaze wandering over Zhang Ran, clearly very curious about him.

Zhang Ran was used to such attention and didn't pay much attention. He noticed that many Core Formation and Foundation Building cultivators in the back were accompanied by demonic beasts, while others held black insects in their hands, seemingly enjoying themselves. These were obviously spiritual insects they were raising.

The power of the Myriad Beast Sect couldn't compare to the Great Qian Dynasty, but it was considered upper-middle in the entire Heavenly South.

"Nine Prince, please come inside." Sect Master Wan smiled and said. After all, a fifth-level Formation Master and alchemist had come. They might gain some benefits today.

"Please." Zhang Ran entered, and the disciples of the Myriad Beast Sect started discussing.

"This is the Nine Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, and he is the youngest prince in the history of the dynasty."

"The pressure he gives me is similar to the elders in the Nascent Soul stage in our sect."

"What do you think he's here for? Does our Myriad Beast Sect have what he needs?"

"I don't know, but judging from the sect master's expression, he seems very happy. And his daughter, Wan Yingying, seems to be drooling over him. I think she would gladly offer herself to the Nine Prince."

...

In the main hall of the Myriad Beast Sect,

"Sect Master Wan, Zhang wishes to be straightforward. I only hope to learn the methods of cultivating demonic beasts and spiritual insects from your esteemed sect. As for the price, please name it."
