I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 95: Daofu City (Seeking Subscription 2/5)

"A cultivator family?" Han Yi's eyes flashed, and he did not refuse, but quietly waited for Luo Yunzhou to elaborate.

"Yes." Luo Yunzhou gritted his teeth.

"My Luo family is a cultivator family in Daofu City, Luofeng Country. Although there are no Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in our family, my father is the head of the Luo family and a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator. In Daofu City, we don't fear any other cultivator families."

"However, some time ago, my father went out and was attacked by a robbing cultivator. He was lucky to escape but suffered severe injuries."

"In Daofu City, the other two cultivator families pressured our Luo family to hand over our Spirit Field – that's the foundation of the Luo family. Without the Spirit Field, our Luo family will deteriorate into a secular family within a hundred years. There might even be a risk of being annihilated due to our family's treasures attracting those coveting them."

"The Daqian authorities in Daofu City don't want the families to fight, causing chaos and affecting the common people. They are willing to mediate the dispute, but the decision is set to take place a month later."

"My father sent a letter calling me back to our family. Whether or not the Spirit Field can be saved will be determined at the mediation meeting a month from now."

"And the so-called mediation will, of course, follow the logic of the strongest."

"I had no other choice but to seek Junior Brother Han's help."

Han Yi frowned, still puzzled, "Senior Brother Luo, your master is a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, isn't it better for you to seek her help in this matter for a guaranteed result?"

This was Han Yi's question.

After all, unlike him, Luo Yunzhou has a master, and his master Bai Wanqing is a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

If Bai Wanqing was willing to help, a single trip should be enough to resolve the Luo family's crisis.

Because the cultivator families competing in Daofu City are all Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator families, not Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator families.

Luo Yunzhou sighed, "Junior Brother Han, you may not know it."

"Our sect has regulations that no elder level cultivators are allowed to interfere in matters regarding the cultivator families outside the sect where disciples are involved."

"In fact, it's not just a rule of the Xuandan Sect, but a tacit agreement among all major sects in Daqian."

"The cultivator families in the Daqian Region all have disciples in the major sects. If a conflict arises and a sect's backing is involved, it could easily escalate to a conflict between two sects. In the long run, it might even shake the foundation of Daqian."

"Of course, if the worldly cultivator family is the elder's own family, then their involvement would be a personal matter, unrelated to the sect affairs, and it would be acceptable."

With Luo Yunzhou's explanation, Han Yi suddenly understood everything.

He considered the options and finally nodded slowly.

This trip would take less than a month, and as long as no Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator took action, Han Yi would have no fear of anyone, not even of legendary Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators like Han Susuo of the Blood God Sect.

Refusing Luo Yunzhou's plea solely for the fear of leaving the mountain would be inappropriate, which would lead to damage to his Inner Heart. It would make it difficult to face the Heavenly Demon in the next breakthrough attempt.

However, it wasn't just the question of his Inner Heart that made him accept Luo Yunzhou's plea, but the camaraderie they had established. He didn't want to just stand by and watch his friend in need.

Seeing Han Yi nod in agreement, Luo Yunzhou looked delighted and completely relieved.

"With Junior Brother Han's help, we're sure to succeed. My Luo family will be saved."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Han. If we can get through this crisis, my Luo family will give you the income of our Spirit Field for ten years as a token of our gratitude for your help."

Han Yi shook his head, "Let's not talk about that now. We'll discuss it when we get to Daofu City."

That day, Han Yi followed Luo Yunzhou to the outskirts of White Tiger Fang.

An Immortal Ship called Survive Disaster was stationed there.

"Junior Brother Han, don't misunderstand. I am not renting this ship solely for our use. It's just that this ship is heading to Luofeng Country. The city where it's landing is not far from Daofu City. I thought I'd spend some money and take the trip. It's only a three-day journey to Daofu City."

Luo Yunzhou paid 300 Spirit Stones for both of them to board the ship. This amount was not too much for him, and he could afford it. Although Han Yi was wealthy, he did not offer to pay as it was a matter of attitude.

Once aboard the ship, they waited for an hour before the Survive Disaster Immortal Ship slowly rose into the sky, breaking through the Cloud Sea and flying eastward.

Three days later.

Two figures entered Daofu City, heading straight to the Luo family.

Seven days later.

Daofu City, The Imperial Astronomical Agency.

The Liu family and the Tang family had arrived to contend with the Luo family for the Spirit Field. Both of these families were also Qi Cultivation Stage cultivation families, with their strongest members at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Supporting this arbitration meeting was a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator from the Daqian official organization, The Imperial Astronomical Agency.

He was an elderly cultivator with long white beard reaching his chest, and a pair of calm eyes without the usual charms of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Han Yi suddenly realized that this Foundation Establishment old cultivator was on the decline, his twilight years approaching, and not far away from his final days.

The feeling of being observed caused the old Foundation Establishment cultivator to glance at Han Yi, only to find a Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivator. He shifted his gaze back to the center of the field.

"Alright."

"Everyone is here."

"According to the rules, no disputes can arise after this arbitration. If any secret battles continue, don't blame the Imperial Astronomical Agency for not showing respect."

At this moment, the aged Foundation Establishment cultivator, who had seemed nearly decayed, suddenly emanated an aura of authority. The cultivators of the three families present were inwardly awed and unanimously agreed.

"Well, let's begin."

After uttering these words, the elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator said no more and even closed his eyes to rest.

Just as his voice died down, a middle-aged cultivator stepped forward and stood in the middle of the field.

"Everyone, today my Tang family has found in our ancestral records that the Spirit Field that belongs to the Luo family was actually ours three hundred years ago. It was only taken by force by the Luo family when they were more powerful."

"For three hundred years, we have lost that Spirit Field, causing the Tang family to decline day by day. Moreover, no Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators have emerged since then. Today, we have decided to reveal the truth to the world and take back the Spirit Field of the Tang family. Please bear witness."

As the cultivator spoke, his voice became filled with emotion, even to the point of shedding tears, making those who saw and heard him feel touched.

Standing behind the Luo family, Han Yi naturally knew that these were all just tricks. His face remained calm, and his heart was undisturbed.

In the Cultivation World, when there was a dispute, there was only one rule: the one with the greater strength was right.

As soon as the middle-aged cultivator of the Tang family finished speaking, a young man from the Luo family shouted angrily: "Tang Xiangyu, your lies are absurd! Ancestral records? In the Luo family records, it says that the Tang family was founded by the illegitimate child of our ancestor. Don't you think that's funny? Do you believe that or not?"

The young man was introduced by Luo Yunzhou before as his elder brother. The Luo family patriarch had two sons, Luo Yunzhou and Luo Wuzhou. This person was Luo Wuzhou, who ranked third in the Luo family in terms of strength, only behind the ninth-layer patriarch Luo Zhiguang and clan uncle Luo Anyang.

Tang family's head Tang Xiangyu just glanced at him disdainfully, not bothering to argue, and simply replied: "Facts speak louder than words, and this is the fact."

At this time, a middle-aged man from the Liu family lightly coughed: "Tang Xiangyu, you can fart all you want, but you must watch your words."

"Your Tang family's ancestor was nothing but a loose cultivator. When the Tang family was established, the Daofu City City Garrison had records. The Tang family's establishment was only about 180 years ago. How can you speak of three hundred years?"

"Enough, I will reveal the truth to everyone today so that everyone can know who the real owner of that Spirit Field is."

"Back then..."

Before this middle-aged man could continue, a soft cough interrupted him.

"What's with all this nonsense? The Spirit Field has always belonged to the Luo family. Everyone knows this. Since I am injured, you two families dared to covet the Luo family's Spirit Field."

"In the world of Cultivation, whoever has the bigger fist speaks the truth. No more arguing, it's wasting time. There is no need to be so pretentious."

The person who spoke was the slightly pale-faced Luo family patriarch, Luo Zhiguang, who had been watching the Liu and Tang families' performances silently.

Liu Heng smiled, his smile filled with killing intent.

"Since the Luo family's patriarch suggests as such, I, Liu Heng, have no objections."

"This move is just what I wanted." Tang Xiangyu clapped his hands in approval.

Standing behind Luo Yunzhou, Han Yi was still wondering what kind of excuse the Liu family would make up when it was suddenly interrupted.

He glanced at the back of Luo Zhiguang standing next to Luo Yunzhou. At this moment, this middle-aged man, who was slightly downhearted, must have been an iron-fisted leader when he was not injured. It was no wonder he could support the entire Luo family.

The prologue was over, and a new chapter began.
