Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: Family-Level Up

None of the six of them dared to block the path, after all, there were two cultivators whose cultivation levels they couldn’t discern; they should be Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Tan Shaoting felt a bit anxious, currently only a few Qi Refinement cultivators had come over; if cultivators of Golden Core or above appeared, it would be troublesome.

They had just arrived here. These little cultivators were not a problem, but high-level cultivators would definitely notice the space fluctuation.

The seven of them hurriedly descended the mountain, encountering several groups of cultivators.

The highest cultivation level among them was merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage, which made Tan Shaoting feel slightly relieved.

”Fellow Daoists, please wait.” A very beautiful female cultivator called out to them.

Tan Shaoting frowned without turning around. This female cultivator seemed to be unaccustomed to rejection; when they didn’t stop, she chased after them.

”Fellow Daoists, fellow Daoists.”

Su Yuanyuan also hated such people; she just heard her thoughts and realized she was indeed a pampered girl. Letting her loose, could anyone feel assured?

Su Yuanyuan softly spoke, making the family stop.

Su Yuanyuan turned around and smiled at the female cultivator. ”Fellow Daoist, what’s the matter? We’re in a hurry.”

”Fellow Daoists, I saw you coming down the mountain. Do you know what happened?”

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, ”We went over right away and didn’t discover anything, so we left after a few people had passed.”

”How could that be?”

Su Yuanyuan smiled slightly and was about to leave.

”Fellow Daoists, wait a moment. Did you really find nothing?”

Tan Shaoting, irritated, exerted pressure toward the female cultivator, ”Fellow Daoist, we found nothing. Please do not bother us any further; I can make a Heart Demon Oath.”

These words were a bit harsh, but in the cultivation world, they were the most credible.

With many people watching them nearby, now they believed they hadn’t found anything.

The family continued downhill at a slower pace; the more anxious they appeared, the more easily people would suspect them.

”Dad, are there so many cultivators gathering here?”

”We might have entered a secret realm again,” Qi Wen said exaggeratedly.

”We don’t know where we are right now, but as long as we’re in the cultivation world, that’s enough. The rest we’ll discuss later.”

After the seven of them descended the mountain, all they saw was an endless grassland. This setup was truly eye-opening.

”Let’s find a place to rest for a while,” Su Yuanyuan suggested, wanting to listen to these people’s inner voices to quickly understand this world.

At the foot of the mountain, everything was the same; they randomly found a spot, and Su Yuanyuan took out a cloth from the space and spread it on the ground for the family to sit on.

They could clearly see the people climbing the mountain from there.

Su Yuanyuan stared at the cultivators; some wore unified robes, which should be disciples of a sect?

Luckily, their family had changed into vestment robes; otherwise, they would stand out too much.

Su Yuanyuan took out some food for Qi Hao and Qi Xuan.

Qi Wen stealthily took out several Storage Bags and distributed them to the family members.

Qi Hong accepted them; inside, there were some low-grade spirit stones and some food.

That was all they had; they would slowly gather more.

Their family actions attracted quite a bit of attention; a team approached them directly.

Perhaps because it was common practice to greet, Tan Shaoting returned the gesture.

”Fellow Daoist, do you know what’s happening here?”

”I saw clouds appear suddenly and vanish quickly; we went over to check but didn’t find anything.”

The one leading the group was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Su Yuanyuan sat aside, listening to their thoughts and quickly grasping the situation.

”Are you a loose cultivator, Fellow Daoist?”

Tan Shaoting nodded, ”Yes.”

”Fellow Daoist, would you be interested in joining the Nangong Family?”

Tan Shaoting shook his head, ”Thank you for the invitation, Fellow Daoist. We do not have plans to join any family as of now.” Having spent over a century in the cultivation world, he knew it was similar to the previous realm, composed of sects and families.

”Fellow Daoist, I am Nangong Xingyun. Here’s my Sound Transmission Talisman; if you ever have the thought, you can contact me.

After all, we’re also in a wild selection, and there are dangers.”

Tan Shaoting took it and handed over his Sound Transmission Talisman, ”I am Tan Shaoting. If needed, I’ll definitely contact Nangong.”

The two cultivators with high cultivation exchanged polite words before Nangong Xingyun and his twenty-odd followers left.

Su Yuanyuan knew this wasn’t the place to talk; she worried about others’ Divine Sense focusing on them. So she played with Qi Hao and Qi Xuan.

Tan Shaoting taught his wife how to transmit through Divine Sense; with a bit of practice, Su Yuanyuan managed to send a transmission.

”A secret realm has been discovered under the sea by the Nangong Family. Other families want a piece of this; later, disciples of sects learned about it, and now all sects want a share as well.

In the end, they could only select participants. Naturally, the Independent Practitioner Alliance is also involved.”

After Su Yuanyuan finished speaking, Tan Shaoting nodded.

She then transmitted this information to Qi Yan and his siblings.

Now they knew the current situation.

Leaving now wasn’t an option. They would wait; they didn’t plan to participate in the secret realm, especially since they knew nothing about it, which was too dangerous.

It was better to adapt for a while. Secret realms were something all cultivators loved, but how many truly gained from them?

Qi Yan and his siblings kept their eyes closed to cultivate, although not entering deep cultivation.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were tired. Su Yuanyuan coaxed them to sleep.

When night fell, more cultivators ascended the mountain. With this, Su Yuanyuan learned even more.

Turns out this continent is Fuxing Continent, which was once part of the Great World. For unknown reasons, Spiritual Energy is gradually diminishing.

Fuxing has transitioned from a Great World to a Small World.

Even so, the setup was quite interesting, and perhaps only their family lacked interest.

This appearance of a secret realm has heated the hearts of everyone.

Any cultivator desires advancement. The lure of immortality is immense.

Su Yuanyuan also learned a lot, including the sect divisions here.

She attempted to send a shared transmission to their father and sons, but it didn’t work; she still lacked the ability.

”Tan Shaoting, this is Fuxing Continent, with hundreds of sects large and small. The largest sect is Xuantian Sect, and the biggest family is the Nangong Family. I don’t know much beyond this. The selection this time is to find the Spiritual Treasure hidden by a master, with all sects and families participating. But there are only twenty spots, and each spot in the secret realm accommodates a hundred cultivators.”

”Yuanyuan, it’s fine. When we leave, we’ll understand. Don’t worry.”

”Are we just waiting like this?”

Tan Shaoting nodded, ”Let’s wait; we should wait here until the selection ends.”

Since they knew they needed to wait, Su Yuanyuan accepted the Spirit Plant Encyclopedia handed to her by Qi Hong, unsure if it was useful; for now, it would kill time.

She had seen it before and recognized some parts.
