Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309: Looking for Help

Yuanyuan frowned, ”Why are you coming here even after receiving the news? Get lost and don’t show up in front of us. If you want revenge, do it.” After saying this, the family left.

Liu Cheng gritted his teeth as he watched the back of their family.

Yuanyuan already knew his true intentions and many of his filthy deeds, truly they were a den of snakes and rats.

”If we encounter such people outside in the future and they want to fight us, don’t leave any of them,” Tan Shaoting instructed.

Liu Cheng was furious, but he had already witnessed their abilities just now; he had no way to take revenge. He had to find a way, as his brother’s death couldn’t be in vain.

They were just loose cultivators from out of town; surely he would have an opportunity to deal with them. If not, he would find some people, since he had noticed earlier that they seemed to be quite affluent.

He knew about his brother’s affairs outside, just thought they were minor squabbles.

When Liu Cheng could move, he left in a hasty and awkward manner.

Tan Shaoting and his family didn’t care, or rather they didn’t mind this clown. They went back home and continued their cultivation.

Liu Cheng with a gloomy face found a well-known team in the city.

”What happened to Mr. Liu?”

”Mr. Chen, I’ve come over to ask you guys a favor.”

”Mr. Liu, no need to be so polite. What do you need help with from us? You’re doing quite well at the City Lord Mansion, a favored person in front of the young lady.”

”Mr. Chen, no need to be modest. Do you know there’s a family of seven that came to the city?”

Chen Sheng nodded with a smile. They had already noticed them earlier, truly very good-looking, just thinking about it made them excited.

So he nodded, ”What? Did they offend Mr. Liu?”

”Hmm, my brother died at their hands.” Liu Cheng wasn’t a fool; he knew this couldn’t be hidden from Chen Sheng and his team.

”Mr. Liu, do you mean you want us to take care of them?”

Liu Cheng nodded, ”After the job is done, I won’t mistreat you all.”

”Haha, we sure believe Mr. Liu, but even blood brothers need to keep clear accounts. Mr. Liu should know our line of work; a life is three thousand spirit stones. I’ll take the liberty to charge you only twenty thousand spirit stones for the entire family.”

Liu Cheng gritted his teeth in hatred. He had spirit stones, but it was truly painful to part with twenty thousand all at once.

However, this group was like that, only concerned about spirit stones.

Reluctantly, he took out a storage bag and threw it to Chen Sheng.

”Haha, Mr. Liu, you’re generous. Alright, after it’s done, I’ll inform you.”

Liu Cheng turned and left; he just had to wait for the news.

He returned to the City Lord Mansion, filled with disgust, and walked along a small path towards the back of the mansion.

Outsiders envied him, but only he knew how sickening it was.

He had been in the City Lord Mansion for five years, yet his cultivation hadn’t advanced. That repulsive woman provided cultivation resources, allowing them to quickly increase their cultivation, all for her own gain. She was a complete demoness.

Returning, he felt his scalp tingle. Yet he still needed to rely on them.

After finishing cultivation, Yuanyuan lay down in Tan Shaoting’s embrace. She spoke softly about Liu Cheng and the filthiness of the City Lord Mansion.

Tan Shaoting thought for a moment, ”That woman in the City Lord Mansion may be cultivating a Hehuan Sect technique. Perhaps.”

”Hmm, I think Liu Cheng will definitely seek that woman’s support.”

”It doesn’t matter; she’s only at the Golden Core Early Stage, and from what I’ve heard about her cultivation, she’s not much of a threat.”

Yuanyuan was still worried, but she knew that worrying wouldn’t help. Encountering them meant facing them.

”Don’t worry.”

Yuanyuan nodded, ”Hmm, I know. If it happens, we’ll see then.”

The whole family felt the urgency of cultivation. Qi Yan spent more than half of each day practicing swordsmanship. Qi Hong, not in space now, began alchemy again; he truly had a gift.

Yuanyuan watched her son doing alchemy and thought it didn’t seem difficult. She got an alchemy furnace from Tan Shaoting, but when she started herself, everything seemed wrong.

It wasn’t something she could handle, but she was persistent. So if it didn’t work the first time, there was a second, third, even the tenth time.

Until the simplest Fasting Pill formed, only then did Yuanyuan let go.

The three children were astonished watching their mom. She originally wasn’t gifted, yet persisted and managed to form a pill.

Yuanyuan bitterly smiled inside. She had long wanted to give up but knew the children were watching her, and she had to set an example for them, thus gritting her teeth and persevering.

Tan Shaoting understood his wife best, knowing her intentions, and couldn’t help but smile.

Next, Qi Wen started as well. Even mom could do alchemy, and was particularly gifted in talisman making, which meant she herself truly had no special talent.

Average in sword fighting, average in talisman making, and alchemy couldn’t even be mentioned.

No years pass in cultivation, and a month had passed since their family left space, with progress made by all.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan by now could recognize many characters. The enlightenment book Tan Shaoting gave them was a cultivation technique. Now they were studying the Spirit Plant Encyclopedia.

They were truly clever, with incredible memory, so learning naturally went quickly.

With the long-armed ape and Immortal Ascension Grass by their side, they really didn’t need much effort from their family.

After all, the children were still young, so the family ventured out from space to interact with people, allowing the children to relax a bit.

Once they left the courtyard, they knew someone was tailing them. Yuanyuan deliberately slowed and increased speed, and those individuals followed.

After understanding their intention, she transmitted a voice to the father and sons.

”Mom, let’s take on a mission, shall we?”

Qi Wen was eager to try, ”If they want our family’s life, let’s see if they have the capability.”

”Mom, I can’t believe our family is only worth twenty thousand spirit stones; it’s infuriating.”

Yuanyuan listened to her daughter’s complaint, helplessly giving her an eye-roll.

”Our family should take a stroll outside. It’s always cultivation; we need some real-world experience, right?”

Tan Shaoting understood his wife and kids’ thoughts; since they were willing, they’d go along with them.

The family directly went to the mission hall, where everyone took on tasks.

Chuckling, they exited the city, starting with simple missions as they used to.

After two days and one night, those following them were still there, puzzling Yuanyuan as to why they hadn’t made a move.

”Mom, this place is called the Land of Death, meaning incidents here are quite common.”

”Could it be that they’re trying to cover their tracks?” Qi Hong said.

”Your description isn’t accurate. They’re not covering up; they’re self-righteous.”

Yuanyuan listened with a smile as the children described the six Foundation Establishment cultivators behind them. In her mind, she thought they were nothing more than a bunch of hypocrites.
