Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

If the Luo Family of Qingshi City did not have that revered ancestor of their own, let's not even talk about a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones,

even coughing up five hundred low-grade Spirit Stones

would be an extremely difficult task.

Unless the Luo Family of Qingshi City was willing to sell all their belongings,

then there might be a chance to gather a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

"Yes, a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones," Gu Haiyin silently nodded, but just moments later, he somewhat relaxed his stance, "If the Luo Family Patriarch feels that the burden of a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones is indeed a bit too much, two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, that's not unreasonable."

After Gu Haiyin had spoken,

a smile spread further across his face.

In fact, from the very beginning, Gu Haiyin never thought that he could squeeze a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones out of the Luo Family of Qingshi City.

If he remembered correctly, this land that the Luo Family of Qingshi City occupied

originally belonged to the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty.

The Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, what kind of dynastic power was that?

Barren, weak, ordinary...

These were Gu Haiyin's impressions of the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty.

Back in the day, the Qingshan Sect had once exploited the Da Feng Dynasty.

However, the one who had come to the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty to extract Spirit Stones was his master,

who was now one of the five Supreme Elders of the Qingshan Sect.

Back then, his master's frenzied exploitation

yielded only about six to seven hundred Spirit Stones from the reserves of the Imperial Feng Family.

And now, with the ongoing turmoil within the Da Feng Dynasty,

the Luo Family of Qingshi City rose by taking advantage of the situation.

Therefore, before the exploitation began, Gu Haiyin had already set a target amount in his mind.

That was the two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones he had just proposed.

If in the end, they truly could not come up with that amount,

one hundred fifty or even a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones,

would not be utterly unacceptable.

As long as he could successfully extract a certain quantity of Spirit Stones and report back to the Sect, that would be sufficient.

As for other things, real or imagined,

these were beyond the scope of consideration for Gu Haiyin, a mere Third Elder of the Qingshan Sect's inner disciple circle.

...

"Two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones?"

Inside the room,

at the seat of honor,

Luo Ping, the present Family Head of the Luo Family, was frowning deeply, his expression somber as he scrutinized the man who claimed to be the Third Elder of the Qingshan Sect—Gu Haiyin.

At the same time, he was silently pondering in his heart.

Just what kind of existence stood behind this man, the Qingshan Sect?

Was it a power from the Immortal Realm?

Or was it still merely a force of Mortal Cultivators?

Gu Haiyin's cultivation, what was it exactly?

Not being well-versed in cultivation levels, Luo Ping naturally did not have a clear understanding.

But if he had to make an educated guess,

he could probably come to a reasonable conclusion.

And this so-called Qingshan Sect,

where the existence of a Blood Refinement Realm cultivator could assume the role of a Third Elder among the inner disciples,

seemed to also testify

to the mediocrity of the Qingshan Sect.

Even if the so-called Qingshan Sect was indeed stronger than the Luo Family of Qingshi City,

the margin would probably not be much.

"Elder Gu's demands are a bit too severe,"

"If Elder Gu required three to five, or even ten low-grade Spirit Stones,"

"my Luo Family of Qingshi City would grit our teeth and still not be unable to make a contribution."

"But Elder Gu, you initially asked for two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, which is really a bit..."

As he spoke,

Luo Ping suddenly stopped.

He did not continue his sentence.

Although Luo Ping did not go on,

the expression on his face spoke volumes.

They did not wish to give up the two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones to the Luo Family of Qingshi City,

and it was not just a matter of reluctance,

they were even considering showing the guest—Elder Gu Haiyin of the Qingshan Sect's inner disciples—the door,

dismissing him without further attention.

In such circumstances, Gu Haiyin, who was the Third Elder of the Inner Sect in the Qingshan Sect, naturally found it somewhat hard to accept.

Qingshi City Luo Family, what is that?

Merely a cultivator family in the realm of mortal cultivation.

Let alone this Luo Family of Qingshi City, even the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty at its peak had to cough up hundreds of low-grade spirit stones.

To ensure the safety of their clan.

And now, a cultivator family whose comprehensive strength is not even on par with the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family.

Dared to outright reject the request of his Qingshan Sect.

Refusing to hand over two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

This act is somewhat tantamount to courting death.

"Luo Family Patriarch, are you sure you want to do this?"

"That White Brahma Temple in the territory of White Lotus Prefecture is not to be trifled with."

"If by some carelessness..."

"The Luo Family of Qingshi City, clashing with the White Brahma Temple within the borders of White Lotus Prefecture, might even... be completely exterminated by that Demonic Path force, the White Brahma Temple."

"Luo Family Patriarch, will you regret today's decision?"

Having said this, Gu Haiyin, who claimed to be the Third Elder of the Inner Sect of the Qingshan Sect, fell silent, his face stern.

Then, he silently took a few steps closer towards the direction of Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family.

"Therefore, for the sake of the family's power, Luo Family Patriarch, might you reconsider?"

...

Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided.

At this moment, the atmosphere was oppressively terrifying.

The self-proclaimed Third Elder of the Inner Sect of the Qingshan Sect, Gu Haiyin, was standing silently in front of Luo Ping.

With an utterly calm demeanor, he was waiting for Luo Ping's response.

And Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, who was sitting in the master's seat,

His expression was growing increasingly cold.

Threats, naked threats.

Since the founding of Qingshi City by the Luo Family and their onset of conflict with the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family,

How long had it been since anyone had dared threaten him?

And now, within this inner city of Qingshi City, within this ancestral land of the Luo Family,

He was, just like that...

Threatened by the man before him claiming to be the Third Elder of the Inner Sect of the Qingshan Sect.

This feeling, it had indeed been a long time...

This feeling, it truly made one deeply uncomfortable.

"Elder Gu..."

Inside the room, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family who was sitting in the master's seat, suddenly lifted his head. He gazed coldly at Gu Haiyin before him and said in an icy tone, "Does Elder Gu truly not worry that he might die here in the Luo Family Ancestral Land of Qingshi City?"

"Daring to threaten someone so boldly on another's territory."

"Isn't Elder Gu's courage a bit too great?"

...

Gu Haiyin laughed.

He watched the Luo Family's current Patriarch, Luo Ping, whose face was ice-cold and whose eyes flickered with hints of murderous intent.

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

The Luo Family of Qingshi City, what is that?

Nothing but the lowest of the low on this Xuanyuan Continent.

The Five Realms of Mortality, after all, are just that, mortality.

A force, if truly wanting to climb up step by step,

Must have a cultivator from above the Five Realms of Mortality, from the Immortal Realm.

This is merely the first step.

And this one step has already stopped countless people, countless cultivator forces.

The Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, which claimed to have existed for over a thousand years, was no exception.

And this so-called Luo Family of Qingshi City before Gu Haiyin, was no different.

Trash is trash, unable to enter people's sight, but trash attempting to overturn the heavens, that's somewhat improper.

"So, Luo Family Patriarch, must it be this way?"

"Those two hundred low-grade spirit stones, have you really decided not to hand them over?"

Gu Haiyin spoke, and as he did,

He suddenly took a few steps closer to Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family.

His aura, at this moment, also burst forth violently.

The fourth realm within the Five Realms of Mortality, the Intermediate Stage of Blood Refinement Realm.

Although Gu Haiyin had not yet reached the final realm within the Five Realms of Mortality, the Mortal Transcendence Realm,

He believed he could use his own power and his hidden cards,

To sweep across the entire Luo Family of Qingshi City, and this was not a difficult task.
