Chapter 110: Conversation with the Family Head

Long Wanli looked at Long Xuan as he entered, showing a look of appreciation and smiled, saying, "Sit down, there's no need to be formal at home."

Long Xuan sat across from him with ease and first asked with concern, "Family Head, should we do something about Long Qilin? If he keeps going like this, he'll go bankrupt."

"Hehe! No need to worry about him. Winning the championship is out of the question, but building an expensive house might not be a loss."

"The better the materials used by the Sou Gu to build a house, the farther it can transport. His high-grade Spirit Stone house will have its time to make big money in the future," Long Wanli laughed.

Long Xuan understood then that the family had already accepted his proposal and was preparing to start the courier and escort business.

To undertake these businesses, they would need a bunch of high-quality houses.

One shouldn't think that the Sou Gu is just a cost-effective low-grade Gu insect with cheap construction costs.

The only thing cheap about it is itself. The houses it builds are anything but cheap; in fact, they might even be more expensive than those built by peak-grade Gu insects.

No wonder so many crazies have popped up in the family recently—Long Xuan had found the reason. The better the house is built, the more money it could potentially make.

At this moment, a crazy thought also arose in his mind: should he chop down the Fire Dragon Fruit Tree to use it for the Sou Gu's construction? He could just give up on everything else.

Long Wanli looked at Long Xuan and sighed, "You’ve already reached the Marrow Cleansing stage, haven't you? Breaking through the Marrow Cleansing stage with a Ten Absolute Body is certainly no easy feat."

"With your physique, once you break through the Marrow Cleansing stage, at least half of the family’s Marrow Cleansing Gu Masters won’t be a match for you. Our clan has gained another young expert."

After smiling contentedly, Long Wanli continued, "The Sou Gu you researched is excellent, worth at least a billion contribution points. Here's a contribution token worth one billion; keep it safe."

Long Wanli placed the contribution token on the table and slowly pushed it toward Long Xuan.

Long Xuan calmly took the contribution token. A billion was just a small goal for him now; this number no longer excited him.

"Since you've already broken through to the Marrow Cleansing stage, the family should reward you with a cave dwelling. Unfortunately, too many geniuses have broken through recently, and all the good cave dwellings have been taken."

"You'll have to make do for now. When a better cave dwelling becomes available, you can move in then. Rest assured, the family will prioritize reserving it for you."

Long Wanli smiled as he spread a large map on the table, slowly unfolding it. "All the places marked with an 'X' are already claimed. You’ll have to choose a spot on the outskirts."

Long Xuan nodded. He had already decided on a cave dwelling long ago—besides the mountain with the Spirit Spring, he had no interest in the other peaks.

Without hesitation, he boldly drew a large 'X' on the largest mountain on the map.

Seeing how quickly Long Xuan made his choice, Long Wanli was slightly stunned. After seeing his choice, his brows furrowed.

Although he had just said to choose an outlying peak, this location was too far out.

That location was merely included to fill space; if the paper wasn’t so big, it wouldn’t even have been drawn on the map.

No one in the family would choose that spot. The spiritual energy there was too scarce, and it was too far from the family’s territory. Even at the fastest speed of a Marrow Cleansing stage cultivator, it would take days to travel back and forth. If it were attacked by demonic cultivators, the family wouldn't be able to rescue in time.

Long Xuan is now the family’s potential treasure, a key figure to be protected. Long Wanli genuinely didn’t want him to choose such a dangerous location.

"Are you choosing that spot just because it’s the largest? There’s no need. Your Formation disk can’t possibly cover such a large area; if you can’t defend it, no matter how big it is, it’s not really yours."

After copying his true body’s alchemy experience, each clone had a very high pill success rate.

So Long Xuan was a true pill-making powerhouse.

As soon as he arrived at Di Xin’s residence, she came out to greet him.

“You really have no fear of death, do you? Still daring to run into my formation! Or are you so arrogant that you don’t even consider my formation a threat?” Di Xin said bluntly as soon as they met.

“This shows my trust in your character, believing you wouldn’t kill for treasure. Let’s talk inside.”

Long Xuan didn’t consider himself an outsider at all and walked straight in, treating her fearsome formation as nothing.

He found a spot with tables and chairs and sat down.

Di Xin was stunned when she saw him emitting the powerful aura of the Marrow Cleansing Stage. She didn't expect that he had also made a breakthrough. With the powerful combat power of the Ten Absolute Bodies, it was no wonder that he was not afraid of her.

She slowly walked over and sat down across from Long Xuan.

However, when she saw Long Xuan using his sly eyes to look around her Herb garden, she was immediately filled with frustration.

This person probably wants to cause trouble in my herb garden again, right? Last time, he nearly plucked everything clean, and it took a long time to restore it. Di Xin was as alert as if facing a great enemy.

“Speak! What do you want this time? I don’t do business for less than ten billion,” Di Xin asked directly.

Long Xuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Di Xin had restocked again. He saw many rare spiritual herbs that made him covet them, and he couldn’t help but want to make them his own.

These spiritual herbs were so rare that they were nearly extinct. They couldn’t be found on the market at all.

“Then I’ll get straight to the point. I need peak-grade spirit stones. Do you have any?” Long Xuan asked, looking into her eyes.

Di Xin was now his last hope. If even she didn’t have peak-grade spirit stones, then the task of setting up the Five Elements Reversal Formation would be indefinitely postponed. The Five Elements Reversal Formation would not be completed anytime soon.

Without this deadly formation for protection, he wouldn’t feel safe guarding the Spirit Spring. This matter could not be delayed. Long Xuan looked at her with expectant eyes.

After taking a sip of tea, Di Xin said, “I have one earth-attribute peak-grade spirit stone and one water-attribute peak-grade spirit stone. Which one do you want?”

Hearing this, Long Xuan’s eyes lit up. As expected, she’s a little rich lady. The entire marketplace didn’t have peak-grade spirit stones, but she actually had two in her possession. Di Xin really didn’t disappoint him.

“I want them both!” Long Xuan said eagerly.

At the same time, he placed a book in front of Di Xin and said again, “How much of the materials listed here can you provide?”

Despite his frantic sweeping of the marketplace over the past half month, spending nearly all his spirit stones, there were still quite a few materials he hadn’t collected.

The Long Clan’s treasury allowed him to trade contribution points for some, but the rest he could only obtain from Di Xin.
