Xu Faxuan held onto the fourth elder next to him with a look of relief on his face.

The Xu family has a successor!

During the many years of Taiping, many people have not experienced cruel struggles, but he also came through the bloody storm.

Although it was heartbreaking, the Xu family was inherited from the bloody battles of the Foundation Establishment family, and it was still in a dominant position when it landed here.

After today, the Xu family may even have the opportunity to dominate the entire Leping Village again many years later, as if the Xu family's luck has finally come to an end.

Everyone began to quiet down.

Zhou Yanxue was silent for a while, then looked at the head of the Wu family.

He took out a transmission note and talked secretly with the Wu family for a long time. During this time, he also looked at Xu Faxuan and Xu Yi from time to time.

After the two parties discussed it, Wu Guangzhi's face looked a little ferocious, as if he could not accept it for a while, and then became discouraged.

Zhou Yanxue was the first to speak out.

"The Zhou family is willing to give up its leadership position in Leping Village, but after all, my Zhou family has two late-stage spiritual refining monks, and we can fully afford 20% of the income."

Xu Yi was about to refute when he was stopped by Xu Faxuan who was standing aside.

"Okay." Xu Faxuan said lightly, and then looked at the Wu family.

"The Wu family is willing to give up half of the profits! The Wu family will leave first."

Wu Guang expressed his gratitude and left directly with the two remaining monks from the Wu family.

Seeing the Wu family leaving, the Zhou family also left quickly with a few monks.

This premeditated but short battle finally subsided, leaving only the Xu family's ancestral home full of scars.

Seeing the Zhou and Wu monks leaving, the Xu family also closed the door to their ancestral home.

Xu Faxuan couldn't bear it any longer and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone was shocked, "Great Elder!"

Fortunately, Xu Faxuan was relieved as the blood spurted out.

"During the siege just now, I was accidentally hit by Zhou Pingli's [Thousand Machines Yin]."

"Don't worry, you won't die!" Xu Faxuan directly showed the momentum of the ancestor of the Xu family.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. The ancestor of the Xu family is now the pillar of the family.

Seeing that the great elder's injury was stabilized.

Everyone began to clean up the mess of the war in an orderly manner.

The occasional cries in the courtyard and the destruction of many buildings showed the pain caused by the war.

Especially the death of the patriarch made a group of people indescribably uncomfortable.

The third elder and the sixth elder directed everyone to collect the corpse and clean the yard.

The fourth elder set out to meet the disciples of the Xu family who were bringing supplies.

The great elder here also led Xu Guanhai and Xu Yi towards an undamaged building.

Entering the hall, everyone sat down, and Xu Guanhai quickly told the great elder all the circumstances of his trip to pay tribute.

Everything I encountered from beginning to end included the conflicts with the Chen family and the incident of being surrounded and killed on the way back.

Xu Faxuan also looked solemn.

He thought it was because the two families had premeditated and launched an offensive when the Xu family was weak and weak.

I didn't expect that the Chen family would be involved, which was a noble family.

Xu Faxuan is very aware of the energy of the noble clan.

"The mutated spirit carp you used to lure spirits before?" The great elder also confirmed it again.

In this world, monks in the late stage of soul refining can basically live to 120 years old, while the great elder has lived for almost a hundred years and has experienced battles between monks and even wars between monsters and humans.

So he roughly understood the crux of the problem.

"I remember that the Chen family's family spirituality seems to be Bai Yuehe. Although the companion spirit beast is a good choice for the spirit carp, it is usually of water spirit root."

"Tululinggen...is it a mutated spirituality?"

The more he analyzed it, the more worried Xu Faxuan became.

The potential of mutated spirituality is better. It can be practiced faster than others in the spirit refining stage, and the probability of advancing to the foundation building stage will be higher. In addition, the suitable companion spirit beast will be more secure.

Hearing this, Xu Yi also understood why Chen Xiuwu insisted on causing trouble for him.

If his path is cut off, he will definitely not give up, and he probably won't believe in the death of spiritual beasts.

"Then is my spirituality also considered a mutated spirituality?"

Xu Yi asked immediately when he thought of this.

"This doesn't count, because if you use this method successfully, even if you have mutated spirituality, the speed of cultivation is only about the same as that of ordinary spirituality, and sometimes it may be even worse."

"If ordinary spiritual beasts were used originally, then the cultivation speed would be even worse."

The Great Elder thought for a while and then said, "Tai Yi, you should not go to Linghai Town again during this period."

"Although the Chen family has many spiritual refining monks, he should not dare to risk the disastrous situation and come to Leping Village to destroy our Xu family."

Xu Yi was a little puzzled, and Xu Guanhai next to him explained.

"This is a kind of protection, and it is also the reason why the poor family is willing to be driven by it and pay a large amount of tribute resources."

Xu Yi reacted quickly and understood immediately.

Only relative stability can create more value. Attacking each other is the biggest waste of resources. Although a poor family is weak, it is the foundation of a place and a village.

But if he goes out of the default protective circle, the nobles will definitely kill him with just a flick of their little finger.

"This time it is only Chen Xiuwu's personal behavior. If the Chen family is involved, it will be impossible for the Xu family to survive even in the protection circle."

"Even if Dong'an Tinghou himself destroyed the Xu family in Leping Village, he would only receive some punishment. This is the privilege of those with title." Xu Guanhai also reminded again.

Xu Yi secretly thought to himself: "As long as your cultivation level is high enough, everything is false in the face of strength."

"What state is Taiyi's refining body in?" the great elder also wanted to know.

"I have cultivated to the perfection of body tempering, but there is not much direction to reach the perfection of body tempering."

After hearing this, the great elder's face suddenly showed a smile, which shows that Xu Yi already has the strength in the late stage of spirit refining.

He is already the person with the highest cultivation level in the Xu family except himself.

Xu Guanhai was also beaming with joy. Along the way, he always believed that Xu Yi was at most in the realm of body tempering.

It seems that he is really talented in body training.

"Cough! Cough!" The smile seemed to affect the injury, causing the great elder to keep coughing.

At this time, Third Elder Xu Qingying and Sixth Elder Xu Taiyan both walked in, their faces full of exhaustion and their moods very low.

The great elder saw the two people coming in, stopped his coughing forcibly, and asked how they were doing.

The two said that the clan leader's remaining belongings had been collected and placed in the mourning hall.

In the battle just now, the Zhou and Wu families completely ignored the ordinary clan members, and the Xu family killed and injured dozens of clan members.

After all, the Great Elder had experienced too many cruel things, so he quickly calmed down and asked Xu Guanhai to talk a little about what happened during the tribute.

The newly promoted Sixth Elder also looked at Xu Yi in disbelief.

Judging by time, when he entered the spirit refining stage, Xu Yi had not yet led the spirit.

So he was a little dissatisfied. After all, a tribesman who had no spirit guide actually became an elder before himself.

Hearing the achievements of Xu Yi and the second elder, he was both surprised and admired.

Seeing Xu Taiyan's expression, Xu Yi took a serious look at Xu Taiyan for the first time.

Xu Taiyan is dressed in a white shirt and has star-shaped eyebrows and sword-like eyes. He is considered to be the older one in the family. He successfully led spirits into the spirit refining stage when he was almost 30 years old. Although his qualifications are average, it also alleviates the serious shortage of spirit refining monks in the family.

I am 20 years old this year. Apart from myself, the youngest four elders of the Guanzi generation are all 40 years old.

Due to the support of his family, his cultivation level is relatively good compared to that of casual cultivators.

When you step into the spirit refining process, your body will be nourished by the spiritual energy, and you will generally not get sick, and you can basically live a long time.

Before the middle stage of spiritual refining, one can basically live to be 100 years old, and in the later stage of spiritual refining, one can basically live to be 120 years old.

After speaking, everyone took stock and found that the Zhou and Wu families did not take advantage this time.

Nine monks from the two families were killed, which suddenly changed the structure of the various forces in Leping Village.

Counting only the number of people, the Xu family monks are the largest, with six people.

There are five members of the Zhou family, four members of the scattered cultivator group, and only three members of the Wu family are the weakest among the four groups.

In terms of combat power, the Xu and Zhou families are almost even, with the Wu family being the weakest.

According to the agreement just now, in addition to 50% of the proceeds from tribute, the Xu and Zhou families will each receive 20%, leaving only half of the Wu family, which is as much as the scattered cultivators.

While everyone continued to discuss, Xu Guanxing, the fourth elder, also brought back the descendants of the family who were paying tribute this time.

We came back together with two Jinyang cattle loaded with supplies.

The Golden Yang Ox will be returned to the spiritual formation place in the village, and it will be regarded as the property of the whole village, and the whole village will also pay for the tamed spiritual stones.
