Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Rewards for Family Promotion, An Intolerable Line Crossed, and the Mission to Destroy Three Clans!

[Ding! Rewards being distributed…]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 5,000 family luck value, ten random Earth-tier techniques and ten random Earth-tier martial skills, ten random Earth-tier treasures, one special top-grade Heaven-grade treasure, 1,000 jin of Flawless Foundation Liquid, 100 Mysterious Spirit Fruits, three Earth-tier pill recipes, one mid-grade spirit stone vein map, and ten Jade Sword Talismans!]

[Flawless Foundation Liquid: True Spirit Realm cultivators bathed in this liquid can establish a more robust cultivation foundation, allowing them to go further on their cultivation path!]

Seeing such a precious liquid, Lu Qingxuan’s brows relaxed. With this liquid, the Lu Royal Mansion could nurture a batch of disciples with even greater potential.

The system’s products were indeed top-notch!

[Mysterious Spirit Fruits: Rare spiritual fruits for Foundation Realm cultivators breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm, increasing the breakthrough success rate by 70% with no side effects!]

With these 100 Mysterious Spirit Fruits, the Lu Royal Mansion could quickly bolster its mid-tier forces.

For the development of the Lu Royal Mansion, this would undoubtedly save a significant amount of time.

[Mid-grade Spirit Stone Vein Map: Marks the specific location of an unexplored spirit stone vein that can yield mid-grade spirit stones!]

[Jade Sword Talismans: Offensive talismans with the power of a ninth-layer Soul Palace Realm cultivator, extremely formidable!]

Seeing the offensive Jade Sword Talismans at the end, Lu Qingxuan felt even more reassured. Such powerful talismans didn’t exist anywhere in Beiyuan County.

These could serve as a trump card for the family or its members!

Lu Qingxuan then examined the various rewarded treasures and nodded in approval, though the special treasure particularly caught his fancy.

It was a unique Sumeru treasure called the Infinite Sumeru Pearl.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Qingxuan discovered that the space within this Sumeru treasure was about a few li in size.

Though the space inside wasn’t large, it was far more difficult to refine and valuable than spatial storage rings. This treasure could not only carry living beings but also cultivate spiritual plants.

Lu Qingxuan stored the treasure away and quickly skimmed through the other techniques and martial skills. Their ranks and power were impressive—outside Beiyuan County, they’d surely be fiercely contested.

Receiving such generous rewards all at once left Lu Qingxuan marveling.

Lu Qingxuan organized these resources and distributed them into the family’s various pavilions.

Then he summoned Elder Lu Ze and handed him the mid-grade spirit stone vein map, instructing him to arrange for clan members to mine the mid-grade spirit stones.

After handling this, Lu Qingxuan returned to his room to cultivate.

However, while the Lu Royal Mansion quietly grew stronger, an incident occurred that ignited the fury of all its members.

Five days later.

In the grand hall of the Lu Royal Mansion, Lu Qingxuan sat at the head. The five core elders sat on either side below him.

Besides them, many clan members of varying cultivation levels had also gathered here.

At this moment, they all stood in the hall, with a few leading members reporting to Lu Qingxuan and the core elders about a recent incident.

“Damn it! It’s those three great families again! They even dared to steal our Canglan Purple Gold vein! They’ve gone so far as to kill our Lu Royal Mansion members—it seems they really want to completely break ties with us!”

Hearing the report, one of the core elders, his face full of rage, slammed the table hard and couldn’t help but shout coldly.

The other elders’ expressions darkened as well, their eyes filled with icy fury.

Not long ago, the Canglan Purple Gold vein that the Lu Royal Mansion was mining had been discovered by the Zhou, Fang, and Han families of Beiyuan County.

Faced with such a precious vein, how could they not be tempted? Thus, not long before, the three families had jointly seized the Canglan Purple Gold vein, slaughtering all the resisting Lu Royal Mansion members as a warning to others.

Even the Lu Royal Mansion members mining in the tunnels were enslaved and forced to extract resources for them.

Faced with such oppression and persecution from the three great families, how could the Lu Royal Mansion members not be enraged?

“My Lord, the Canglan Purple Gold vein is currently the most important mineral resource for our Lu Royal Mansion. No matter what, it cannot fall into the hands of those three families!”

At this moment, the Second Elder stood up and reminded Lu Qingxuan. Without exaggeration, in Beiyuan County, this vein was a money tree.

Whichever faction controlled it would undoubtedly gain an unimaginable amount of cultivation resources.

“My Lord, let’s go to war! Even if we can’t keep the Canglan Purple Gold vein, we can’t let those three families have it!”

“They dared to treat our Lu Royal Mansion members like this—we must make them pay in blood!”

“Yes, war! Do they really think our Lu Royal Mansion can be pushed around so easily?”

“My Lord! Please give the order!”

At this moment, the other elders also stood up, speaking out one after another, volunteering to fight.

After this period of vigorous development, the strength of the Lu Royal Mansion’s members had increased significantly.

With three core elders having stepped into the Spiritual Pill Realm, the clan members no longer felt as intimidated by the three great families as before.

Moreover, they now had Lu Qingxuan, who had reached the late Spiritual Pill Realm—the strongest combat force in the Lu Royal Mansion. Even among the three great families, late Spiritual Pill Realm cultivators were rare.

With this, what did the Lu Royal Mansion have to fear?

At the head of the hall, a cold glint flickered in the depths of Lu Qingxuan’s eyes. He had fully understood the situation. Daring to kill members of the Lu Royal Mansion was an intolerable breach of his bottom line.

From the moment the three great families started stealing resources from the Lu Royal Mansion, Lu Qingxuan had never intended to let them off. He had originally planned to deal with them after the family grew stronger.

But now, since the three great families had completely torn off all pretenses—not only seizing the Lu Royal Mansion’s most important mine but also daring to kill its people—the Lu Royal Mansion had to strike back hard this time.

He would use this opportunity to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

With his cultivation at the seventh layer of the Spiritual Pill Realm, Lu Qingxuan feared no one from the three great families.

He glanced at the many clan members eagerly volunteering for battle, but just as he was about to speak—

[Ding! Detected the current state of the host’s family. A family mission has been triggered: Lead the family to annihilate the Zhou, Fang, and Han great families of Beiyuan County and intimidate all other factions!]

[Mission Reward: Determined by the performance rating—the higher the score, the richer the rewards!]

Seeing the mission prompt, Lu Qingxuan chuckled inwardly.

Wasn’t this exactly what he wanted? Now, not wiping out those three great families wasn’t even an option.

Lu Qingxuan’s gaze swept over the crowd as he said in a deep voice, “The three great families dared to slaughter our Lu Royal Mansion members. For this blood feud, our Lu Royal Mansion will repay them with the blood of their own, making them pay a price in blood!”

Though his voice wasn’t loud, it carried a penetrating force, each word resounding in the minds of every clan member.

Hearing this, the crowd’s blood boiled. The clan members standing in the hall clenched their fists and shouted.

“We must make the three great families pay in blood!”

“My father died tragically at the hands of the three great families. This vendetta will not end until they’re destroyed—I must wipe out all three clans!”

“Yes, please, My Lord, uphold justice for us! I’m willing to follow you to wash our enemies in blood!”

“The three great families really think our Lu Royal Mansion has no one left? We must seek justice for our fallen clansmen!”

At this moment, numerous Lu Royal Mansion disciples raised their arms and shouted, showing no trace of fear.

Seeing this scene, the Second Elder’s deep eyes flickered with a flame of battle intent. “The three great families stole our mansion’s resources before—now it’s time to take them back!”

Observing the clan members’ reactions, Lu Qingxuan nodded slightly.

Then he stood up and said in a deep voice, “Then let’s go to war! Follow me to wash the three great families in blood! This time, the more enemies you kill, the greater the rewards you’ll receive!”

At the end, Lu Qingxuan didn’t forget to give the clan members a morale boost, encouraging them to fight without restraint.

Soon, Lu Qingxuan led a group of Lu Royal Mansion members toward the nearest Zhou family territory.

…

Meanwhile, at the Canglan Purple Gold vein site, it was now fully under the control of the three great families. To ensure nothing went wrong, each of the three families had stationed an early Spiritual Pill Realm expert there.

In one of the mining tunnels, many Lu Royal Mansion members were being oppressed and forced to extract ore.

“Move faster—don’t even think about slacking!”

Crack!

A Zhou family expert lashed out with a whip, striking the back of a Lu Royal Mansion disciple, causing him to grimace in pain.

“You bastards, don’t let me get my hands on you.”

The whipped Lu Royal Mansion disciple cursed inwardly but didn’t dare slow his mining pace.

He desperately hoped that a strong figure from the family would arrive, reclaim this vein that rightfully belonged to their mansion, and slaughter all the members of the three great families.

Scenes like this played out similarly across the various mining tunnels. Many Lu Royal Mansion disciples were enslaved, forced to mine ore for the three great families.

In a cave at the heart of the vein, the three Spiritual Pill Realm experts from the great families were tallying the freshly delivered Canglan Purple Gold ore.

“Not bad. With this Canglan Purple Gold, our three families will surely trade for more high-level resources—enough to train a batch of powerhouses!”

A Zhou family Spiritual Pill Realm elder spoke excitedly, his eyes blazing with fervor.

“Good thing we found it early. If the Lu Royal Mansion had secretly mined this vein dry, they might’ve actually risen up!”

“Heh heh … I don’t know how the Lu Royal Mansion detected such a precious vein, but now it’s all ours for the taking!”

The other two Spiritual Pill Realm experts chimed in, clearly in high spirits. However, at that moment, a loud rumble of combat suddenly echoed from the distance.

“What’s going on?” The three Spiritual Pill Realm experts exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of confusion in the others’ eyes.

“Let’s go see who’s got the guts of a leopard to cause trouble here!”

With that, the three immediately headed out of the cave.
