Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea-Chapter 72 - 71: Tallying the Harvest_2

Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Tallying the Harvest_2

“Boom…”

Several loud sounds echoed as the locks on the prison doors were all chopped off, followed by the Flying Sword severing all the chains binding the prisoners.

At this moment, everyone realized it was all real, that they still had a chance to escape, causing some of the younger cultivators to burst into tears.

The woman, however, remained calm and spoke in a hoarse voice to Lu Li and his companion, “Thank you, two cultivators from the Lu Family.”

The cultivators nearby started to thank them one after another.

The plaza began to get noisy.

“Since you all have been freed, we shall take our leave first.”

Lu Li spoke indifferently, preparing to explore further with Lu Yuling.

Just then, a young woman in front of them suddenly called out to the two.

“I am Jiang Shuhua, a loose cultivator. May I have your protection to join the Lu Family?”

Lu Li was momentarily startled, then nodded, “I am Lu Li, and this is my cousin Lu Yuling. Cultivator Jiang only needs to pass the Guest Elder assessment to join smoothly.”

At this, four more men stepped forward wanting to join the Lu Family, and Lu Li nodded in agreement.

The Guest Elders and the family both benefited mutually without interfering in the core interests of the family, so taking in a few people had no impact.

Afterward, five cultivators followed, and the rest began to sit cross-legged to recover their mana.

Lu Li led the way towards the rear of the area.

Soon, they arrived in front of a large arch-shaped cave.

Stepping inside, one could see closely packed spiritual materials and spiritual ore on stone platforms, along with various medicine pills, all stored in numerous bottles and jars.

The air was filled with a strange, pungent smell.

Lu Li waved his hand grandly, collected everything, and then left the place.

“Let’s go, meet Third Aunt and Qing Qing outside the mountain.”

Seeing that no items were left around, he turned to Lu Yuling and spoke.

Following that, the group steadily made their way towards the mountain exit.

…

On the left side of an underground plaza, Lu Yuting also rescued a group of cultivators.

The two entered a cave and, seeing the ground filled with spiritual objects, were overjoyed.

They began collecting them eagerly.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing walked over to an area where medicine pills were stored, looking puzzled at a finely crafted porcelain bottle in front of her.

She opened the porcelain bottle and poured out the medicine pills.

A crimson medicine pill immediately appeared in her palm, the size of an eyeball with very delicate textures, emitting an extremely strong, odd smell.

“What is this?”

Lu Qingqing was very puzzled and stepped forward, placing the medicine pill in front of Lu Yuting.

Lu Yuting frowned upon seeing the blood-red medicine pill in her palm.

“This is a Blood Demon Pill, an extremely cruel Demon Pill made by extracting a trace of yang energy from a newborn baby along with many cultivators’ essence blood and spiritual medicine…”

“It’s said to have effects similar to those of the Foundation Establishment Pill, but I am not very familiar with its specific side effects.”

Lu Qingqing frowned, clearly she would not choose to consume such a pill, so she quickly put it away in the Storage Bag.

After gathering all the spiritual objects in the cave, the two headed outside.

…

On an open ground outside the mountain, Lu Li and his companion stood quietly waiting.

Not long after, they saw Lu Yuting lead a group of people out one by one.

“Let’s go, we set off to return to Mystic Moon Island.”

Lu Yuting walked over to Lu Li, took out a Flying Artifact, and tossed it upwards.

The artifact swelled against the wind, quickly turning into a small Flying Boat, hovering above in mid-air.

She immediately leaped up towards the front of the Flying Boat, arriving at the control center to place Spirit Stones into it, then sat down cross-legged.

Following her, everyone flew into a small space and sat down.

Several hours later, Mystic Moon Island was visible in the distance.

Everyone disembarked from the Flying Boat, and Lu Yuting, after putting away the Flying Boat Magic Artifact, led several people towards the family Guest Elder residence.

Upon leaving, Jiang Shuhua looked back at Lu Li and his companion with a grateful expression.

Lu Li smiled and immediately soared on tunneling light towards down the mountain’s cave.

Upon entering the cave, he found everything unchanged, the central hall’s stone table covered in dust.

It seemed his parents had not returned to Mystic Moon Island during this period.

He walked deeper into the secret chamber, starting to take stock of the spoils from this journey.

First, using Divine Sense to remove all seals on the Storage Bag, then pouring out all the contents.

Immediately, over ten different types of magic artifacts appeared on the open ground, along with various ores and spiritual materials.

On the edges were some bottles and jars, containing some Demon Pills once opened,

letting a foul smell fill the air.

At that moment, a pure white and translucent object caught his attention.

The object was spherical in shape, about the size of a human head, emitting a warm, jade-like glow. Waves of spiritual energy surrounded it, emanating from its edges with extraordinary presence.

“Is this… the Spiritual Vein Heart?”

Lu Li looked at the object with a face full of surprise.

He reached out and picked up the Spiritual Vein Heart, closely observing it. It seemed as though endless spiritual energy was circulating within, and a cool sensation was coming from his palm.

Just as he was marveling at it, the Spirit Monkey’s soul body awakened.

“Kid, this is just a first-tier Spiritual Vein Heart, but it’s not bad.”

“Ancestor, do you know how to obtain this item?”

Lu Li was somewhat puzzled.

“Just use a secret technique to extract the core of the spirit vein, it’s not too difficult.”

“However, once the Spiritual Vein Heart is extracted, the spiritual mountain is completely ruined.”

The Spirit Monkey tilted its head.

It then engraved this secret technique onto a Jade Scroll and handed it to Lu Li.

“These demon cultivators really have no bottom line. Aren’t they afraid of retribution and divine punishment?”

Lu Li’s expression changed slightly.

“Retribution? This item is still in this realm. Burying it into a spirit vein is just changing its location. What divine punishment could there be?”

The Spirit Monkey looked unconcerned.

“As for forming karma with others, it’s even simpler. As long as you are strong enough to kill all those with whom you have karmic ties, there is no karma!”

“Otherwise, how could there be so many powerful beings and ancestors on the Demon Path?”

Lu Li fell silent upon hearing this.

It seemed that the upper realm was not a place of peace; everything respected the powerful.

“Can this Spiritual Vein Heart enhance the grade of the spirit vein if buried deep underground?”

He planned to place the item deep within the seabed spirit vein.

“It’s quite difficult to upgrade a second-tier spirit vein; this item can only slightly increase the spiritual energy.”

The Spirit Monkey Ancestor spoke in a very flat tone.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li gathered all the items on the ground, along with the Spiritual Vein Heart, into his Storage Bag.

Disposing of all these spiritual objects would probably amass several thousand spirit stones, making this a fruitful harvest.

As for Lu Yuting and another, they likely had a similar haul. It seemed these demon cultivators were indeed wealthy.

He then began to meditate and cultivate.

Before he knew it, more than ten days had passed.

During these ten days, the news that the Lu Family had decisively defeated the demon cultivators had spread far and wide in the nearby seas, significantly boosting the Lu Family’s reputation.

The other three families, however, suffered great losses, with only one leader from the Chen Family badly injured and escaping back.

The cultivators from the other two families all perished in the demon cultivator’s lair.

This caused a stir among the cultivators in the surrounding seas.

Everyone thought that the Lu Family Ancestor had exerted great efforts, providing powerful spirit talismans to the younger generation, allowing the Lu Family to return victorious.

However, not a single detail about Lu Li leaked out; it seemed that Third Aunt Lu Yuting was quite reliable.

Upon receiving the news, the ancestor Lu Tiande laughed heartily, openly declaring that the Lu Family had promising descendants.

Even the various members of the Lu Family were completely baffled, thinking it was the ancestor who had prepared a contingency for everyone.

…

In a cave on White Mist Island of the Chen Family,

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, his face pale and looking extremely distressed.

This strike had caused heavy losses to the Chen Family; unexpectedly, these demons had been well prepared.

“Heard that not a single core cultivator from the Lu Family perished? Is the news true?”

“Indeed, I have confirmed it personally.”

The young cultivator beside him replied respectfully.

“Damn, now my Chen Family has become the laughing stock.”

Chen Mo’s face was grim.

“So, with the Lu Family Ancestor squandering resources like that, eventually they won’t be able to afford Foundation Establishment pills…”

The young man also agreed.

“I suppose this is the Lu Family’s last struggle.”

Thousands of miles away, on a medium-sized island, the Wang Family’s elders also had gloomy expressions.

The loss this time was too great, and the ancestor was preparing to personally take action.

If not for fear of Foundation Establishment demon cultivators lying in ambush, they would have already attacked.
