Yun State, Anhua City

Even though Li Ruoxu has passed away two months ago, the current Anhua City is still filled with discussions about him. Li Ruoxu has gained great popularity in Yun State.

He was almost at the peak of cultivation, going from a simple cultivator to reaching the level of Nascent Soul. He excelled in alchemy, surpassing the three major sects, and enjoyed great fame. Additionally, his lifespan exceeded one thousand years, making others envious.

"Just think about Pill King, he’s not easy to come by. A simple cultivator..."

"Thinking back to the past..."

Lin Jiang sat in the teahouse, hearing the discussions of the people around him. Most of the comments about Li Ruoxu were positive, after all, he was the first independent cultivator and had made a great name for himself.

Lin Jiang glanced around. Anhua City had been rebuilt over the past few decades. In a war that occurred many years ago, Anhua City was the first to be attacked and was left in ruins.

Later, Li Ruoxu took over Anhua City and spent approximately twenty years rebuilding it. He then took another thirty years to restore Anhua City to its former prosperity. This just goes to show Li Ruoxu’s abilities.

This person truly has great talent. Not only is he exceptionally skilled in alchemy, but he is also proficient in management. Under his control, Anhua City thrived.

Amongst the various discussions, Lin Jiang heard them talk about the new City Lord of Anhua City. This person was familiar to Lin Jiang, he was Wen Xing, Li Ruoxu’s disciple and son-in-law.

Wen Xing was also a goal that independent cultivators aspired to. However, his style was different from Li Ruoxu’s. Li Ruoxu had made his way up through hard work, like a self-made wealthy individual.

And Wen Xing is the perfect example of someone who takes advantage of others. He started as a simple farmer, but after catching the eye of Li Ruoxu’s daughter, his cultivation soared. From the beginning stages of Qi Refining, Building Foundation, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul, he smoothly advanced and eventually took over Li Ruoxu’s position, becoming the ruler of Anhua City.

"He really hit the jackpot in life."

Lin Jiang sighed, feeling envious of Wen Xing. He wished he could also eat such easy food and be completely satisfied.

······

One hundred and thirty miles outside of Anhua City, lies Li Ruoxu’s lavish tomb. There is even a group of cultivators guarding it.

These people are all Li Ruoxu’s grand-disciples. Wen Xing was not the only disciple he had, but the others had all passed away before him. They each had their own families and became the foundation for Li Ruoxu’s development of Anhua City.

"I once said I would dance on your grave. Should I still do it?"

Lin Jiang looked at Li Ruoxu’s tomb and muttered to himself. Back in Yunzhong City, Li Ruoxu had forcibly changed his appearance, which was a very disrespectful act. If Lin Jiang had been stronger back then, he would have fought him right then and there.

Lin Jiang hesitated for a long time, ultimately deciding not to dance on the grave. It wasn’t because Lin Jiang was kind-hearted, but because Li Ruoxu’s death seemed suspicious. Zhang Wanjing had told him about it and given him this task.

"Very good."

Wen Xing nodded. Wen Rujian was his eldest son. Li Ruoxu’s daughter gave birth to three sons and a daughter for him, but he didn’t have any affection for these children.

He didn’t like Li Ruoxu’s daughter from the beginning. He just pretended to change his ways for hundreds of years, making everyone think that he had turned over a new leaf.

Now that Li Ruoxu has passed away, he sent away his children and the offspring of Li Ruoxu’s other disciples. Anhua City is under his complete control.

"What about the master tonight..."

"Tell everyone to come to my room. Also, inform those followers that within a year, they must bring me a woman with good talent and a Foundation Building level of cultivation."

"Master, isn’t this going too far?"

"What a great achievement! Look at the Lin family, Lin Batian alone has created a big clan. This is what we should learn."

Wen Xing said that Lin Batian used to be someone he greatly admired. He had numerous wives, concubines, and children. This is what a great man does.

On the other hand, Wen Xing served under Li Ruoxu for hundreds of years. Although he occasionally went out to have fun, he never dared to bring women back or even have children.

This was not acceptable to him. With such a large family business, should he just let others benefit from it like Li Ruoxu? He wasn’t that foolish. Now that his wife had passed away and no one could control him anymore, it was only natural for him to establish a large harem and have children. The future master of Anhua City could only carry the Wen surname.

"Yes, master, I will make the arrangements."

"Go ahead. The master will not treat you unfairly. In a few days, ten shops in the city will be transferred to your name."

"Thank you, master. I will take my leave now."

The young man was overjoyed and happily left. Whatever the master was willing to do, that was the master’s business. He would receive the benefits first before anything else.

After a while, Wen Xing returned to his own room, where there were many beautiful women waiting for him. Wen Xing didn’t have many hobbies in his life, but women were the most apparent.

Wen Xing had been a good man in front of Li Ruoxu for hundreds of years, but now Li Ruoxu finally died and he could have some fun. This is called revenge spending.
