"The news is absolutely true!"

The middle-aged man that was called the Great Elder nodded.

After receiving confirmation, Xia Yuetian pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Spiritual Medicine Sect have entered society this time?"

Xia Yuetian was very clear that although the Xia Clan was the emperor clan, they were actually the representatives of the Celestial Sect of Wonders in the Five Great Cultivator Sects in the mortal world. In these past few years, as the representative of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery in the mortal world, the Xia Clan had controlled more than half of the cultivation resources of the Chu Country.

However, the five great cultivation sects had long agreed that the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the various sects were not allowed to participate in the struggle between the secular world's clans. The five great clans could only rely on their own strengths to compete with each other in the secular world.

In these several hundred years, the strength of the five great clans of Chu Yun Country were about the same, fighting each other over the balance but not breaking it. Until Xia Yuetian succeeded the throne, and as the emperor's family, the Xia family also began to suppress the other four great clans because of Xia Yuetian breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. And more importantly, more than half a year ago, under Xia Yuetian's instigation and planning, they created the Dragon City's Xu family's ascension event in one fell swoop.

Cloudburst City was the only city in the mysterious cultivation world. Although it was a gathering place for rogue cultivators, in reality, all of the major shops had the shadows of the five families and five cultivation sects.

However, in the past few hundred years, there had never been a single high-grade pellet in the Cloudburst Manor. Even as the representative of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, only a very small amount of high-grade Qi Training Pills were collected in the past few hundred years. These pills were treated as treasures and were left for the talented disciples of the family to use when they tried to break through.

In reality, high quality pills were not common in the Spiritual Medicine Sect that was famous for their alchemy. Only those Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would have a small amount of the sect's high quality pills. Thus, Xia Yue guessed that the Spiritual Medicine Sect's Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had entered the world.

"Your Majesty, this news is absolutely true. If it really is the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Spiritual Medicine Sect entering society, do you think this matter would have anything to do with the fall of the Dragon City's Xu Family?" The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before replying in a low voice.

Xia Yuetian coldly snorted, "So what if it's a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Spiritual Medicine Sect entering society? Even if they were to investigate this matter, we don't have to worry. Furthermore, the Five Great Cultivator Sects already have an agreement; they cannot participate in the struggle between the Five Great Clans of the mortal world. "

The middle-aged man said worriedly: "Even if you say so, but that is because the great clans' strengths are the same, without a Foundation Establishment stage agreement. Now that His Majesty has broken through to Foundation Establishment, coupled with the sudden turn of events in the Xu family, the Spiritual Medicine Sect will not be able to hold on."

Xia Yuetian's heart sank as he nodded, "Grand Elder, send someone to secretly investigate this matter with my black hair."

After thinking for a moment, he said worriedly, "Forget it, this is a very important matter, I will have to trouble you, Great Elder, to personally go to the Cloudburst Market. No matter what, our Xia Family will definitely have these high grade Qi Training Pills in our hands, and we will also discuss with the two Martial Nephews from the sect and report this matter to the sect's elders for decision."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will go now."

"..."

Dragon City, Xu Family Castle.

As the representative clan of the Spiritual Medicine Sect and the person who had been sent to the mortal world to recruit disciples, Zhang Sikai could be said to be in high spirits. Not only had he encountered an accident with the Xu Family, having taken control of the sect's family in one fell swoop, but he had also become the Xu Family's son-in-law and brought back a beauty. Although the daughter of the Xu Family did not have any Immortal Cultivation Spirit Roots, she was still as beautiful as a flower. The key issue was that she was also in charge of the Xu Family's huge assets.

However, he was still unable to reach the great perfection stage. This time, when he had entered society, the daughter of the Xu Family, Xu Tong, had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms, causing him to unconsciously have the idea of entering society to start his own family.

In the Spiritual Medicine Sect, even though Zhang Qingkai had a Foundation Establishment stage master protecting him, and he himself was barely considered an inner disciple, but he knew very well that he was a Three Spiritual Root Talent. Wanting to successfully enter Foundation Establishment was as difficult as ascending the heavens.

However, if he was unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, then he would never be able to pursue that immortal path in his entire life. Rather than becoming old in a sect, it was better to enter society to enjoy wealth and prosperity, and create one's own clan. Perhaps the next generation would have the chance to enter the cultivation world again, pursuing the long and illusory path of immortality.

One wanted to enter society to create his own clan, while the other wanted to use this opportunity to take control of the Xu Family. With this thought in mind, Zhang Qingkai and Xu Tong immediately went to work.

On this day, in an attic of the inner castle of the Xu Family Castle, the hibiscus had been tossed around by the waves, crying out softly.

A long time later, a woman's voice came from the Hibiscus Courtyard. "Sikai, we are already like this. When are you going to propose to my father?"

Then, a man's voice came from the Hibiscus Mutabilis's tent, "Don't worry, my little darling. Wait until I've completed my sect's mission this time, then I'll explain everything to Master, and then I'll come and roam with you."

The woman pondered for a bit and said, "But my father has already agreed to let me marry the Zhao family. What should I do?"

The man's cold voice sounded out, "Hmph, a small mortal family dares to compete with me for women? "Darling, rest assured, since you've already taught me how to handle this matter, I definitely won't let you suffer even the slightest bit."

"Mm, Si Kai, how nice of you!" The woman said coquettishly.

"Hahaha …"

The man laughed complacently. After a while, waves of laughter came out from the hibiscus tent.

However, a yellow talisman flew into the tent just as the two people were in the midst of a storm.

"Huh?"

The man in the tent let out a soft cry and grabbed the talisman in his hand.

"What's wrong?" The woman seemed a bit dissatisfied as she asked softly.

"It's a sound transmitting talisman from Gu Yiming. I have important matters to deal with. Darling, don't worry. Wait until I get back, then I'll properly favor you. Hehe."

"Oh … I hate you!"

Moments later, a middle-aged man came out from the Hibiscus Courtyard. It was, of course, Zhang Sikai of the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

After Zhang Sikai hurriedly left the pavilion, another beautiful woman with disheveled clothes came out from the tent. It was actually the Xu Family's snake-and-scorpion beauty, Xu Tong.

"Hmph. From now on, the Xu family is on the side of the Spiritual Medicine Sect. Who could even shake my Xu Tong's position?"

Xu Tong looked at Zhang Si Kai's back as he left. After a long while, she coldly snorted.

"..."

Hurriedly walking out of Xu Tong's pavilion, Zhang Sikai arrived at the Xu Family meeting room. Gu Yi was already there waiting for him.

As soon as Zhang Sikai entered, he asked in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Gu, is the information you mentioned reliable?"

Gu Yiming quickly replied, "Absolutely. After I received the news, I even personally made a trip to the Cloudburst Market to confirm it from the auction house."

At this point, Gu Yiming had a strange expression on his face. "But this superior pill is not coming from the Hundred Pill Pavilion our sect has set up in the marketplace."

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Sikai's face was filled with astonishment.

He'd been wondering this the entire way here. Others didn't know, but he was well aware that the Hundred Pill Pavilion in the Cloudbazaar was actually a branch of the Spiritual Medicine Sect located near the mundane kingdoms.

Even though the relationship between the Hundred Pill House and their faction was not good, they had always been neutral. Why would they suddenly release a high-level Qi Training Pill this time? It had to be known that even inside the Spiritual Medicine Sect, high-grade medicinal pills were extremely precious. Even Zhang Sikai's master had never obtained one, and only the core direct disciples of the sect had the chance to obtain one.

"It is indeed like that. Senior brother Ma from the Hundred Pill House told me personally, but unfortunately, the auction house never divulges the identity of the person who entrusted them. Otherwise, I would have found out who had high quality Qi Cultivation Pills."

A hint of greed flashed across Gu Yiming's eyes.

"If that's the case, then that's strange. Although Qi Cultivation Pills aren't high level pills, high level pills aren't that easy to refine. Even in our Spiritual Medicine Sect, only a few Elders are able to refine them. Could it be that they discovered the Xu Family's change this time?"

Gu Yiming's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

Without saying a word, Gu Yiming continued, "Senior Brother, could it be that you suspect that this incident was not a coincidence? Could it be that Sect Master's faction knew of the Xu Family's change in circumstances? That's why they intentionally released the news of high-grade medicinal pills, hinting that we should not interfere in the matter of the Xu Family."
