Chapter 30 The Cultivators of the Su Family
"Storage bags can only hold inanimate objects, while spirit beast bags can only hold living objects; inanimate objects cannot be put in them."
"Fish eggs and monster eggs should be living things. If we put them in the storage bag, they will probably be killed and become dead eggs."
"So we have to use a spirit beast bag to carry it."
While pondering, Su Qingyan quickly packed the monster eggs and fish eggs into the spirit beast bag.
Just then, Little Grey, who was flying high in the sky on guard, suddenly let out a warning cry. The sound was very sharp and penetrating.
Even through the pool water dozens of meters deep, Su Qingyan's ears still caught it.
"Danger!"
"Could this demonic cultivator have accomplices?"
Su Qingyan's heart tightened, and he quickly put away the storage bag and swam to the surface.
As soon as he emerged, Little Grey landed on the shore to guard him, watching the direction from which Plum Blossom Village had come very warily. Su Qingyan followed his gaze and saw two young men in white rapidly approaching the Blackwater Pool.
Before the person arrived, the shouting began.
"Hey!"
"You damned demonic cultivator! How dare you commit such a heinous act as massacring an entire village! I am absolutely enraged! Today, I will rid the people of this scourge and tear you to pieces to vent my anger!"
call out!
No sooner had the other party finished speaking than a flying sword shot towards Su Qingyan.
Su Qingyan dared not be negligent. He quickly jumped out of the black pool, rapidly forming hand seals to release the Vine Armor Technique to protect his entire body and block the attack.
With a clang, the flying sword was bounced away by the protective rattan armor on Su Qingyan's body. However, the enormous force carried by the flying sword was not completely dissipated into the ground beneath Su Qingyan's feet. A portion of it was left to flip him over heavily and make him fall to the ground.
The newcomer is extremely powerful.
Su Qingyan didn't even dare to check his injuries. He rolled over and immediately got up, quickly taking out the Shadowless Earth Spirit Needle from his storage bag and holding it in his hand.
I looked up and glanced up.
At this moment, two young men in white robes approached. Su Qingyan could clearly see their appearance; they were about twenty years old, with regular features and an upright demeanor.
Judging from the aura emanating from the two, one of them had already broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, probably at the fourth level of Qi Refining, while the other was considerably weaker, probably at the third level of Qi Refining.
He is also a bit younger.
The one who just attacked Su Qingyan with his flying sword was also a younger Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator.
This person acts more impulsively and without thinking.
Seeing that the white-robed cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining was about to continue attacking him, Su Qingyan knew that he and Little Grey were no match for the two of them. He immediately prepared to defend himself and run away while shouting loudly, "Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood! I'm not a demonic cultivator!"
"The demonic cultivator who massacred the village was fighting a giant snake beast here and was seriously injured. I took advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and killed the demon."
"Fellow Daoists, please don't get agitated, lest you accidentally harm innocent people!"
After hearing Su Qingyan's explanation, the white-robed cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining stopped his companion who was about to continue attacking, and calmly looked at Su Qingyan and said, "Brother, this fellow Daoist's aura is deep and long, he must be cultivating that wood attribute technique, and he has almost no murderous aura, his cultivation level is not high, and his attacks are peaceful, so it seems that he must not have many lives on his hands."
"It shouldn't be that demonic cultivator."
"Let him continue to explain, lest we kill an innocent person and tarnish the reputation of our Su family."
Upon hearing his elder brother's words, the white-robed cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining gradually calmed down, sheathed his flying sword, and assumed a posture ready to continue attacking at any time.
Then, without any politeness, he said, "We are cultivators from the Su family of Xiankeng Bay. My name is Su Anwu, and this is my cousin Su Zhengwu."
"If you are a cultivator in this area, you should have heard of the names of my two brothers."
"In recent years, my brother and I have been fighting demons and protecting the righteous in this area of Sankeng River, killing many cultivators who have undergone tribulations and demonic cultivation. The surrounding family cultivators and rogue cultivators all know our reputation and character."
"Explain yourself. If you are a good person, we brothers will definitely not cause you any trouble."
"If you are that villain or a demonic cultivator, we brothers will show no mercy and will definitely kill you to uphold justice!"
This person is like a lunatic; he comes up here without asking any questions and immediately wants to eliminate evil and uphold justice.
If he weren't truly outmatched, Su Qingyan would have definitely killed this guy to raise the IQ of the cultivator community and eliminate this kind of idiot.
Unfortunately, when you're under someone else's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.
Fortunately, the Su family of Xiankeng Bay and Su Qingyan's Su family have a connection in their ancestry, which can be used to bridge the gap, clear up misunderstandings, and get through this crisis.
According to what Su Qingyan's father said before he passed away, their family ancestors were a branch of the Su family of Xiankeng Bay.
It seems there was a conflict between the brothers, so Su Qingyan's ancestor brought the property after the family division to settle in Yaxi Village and became a leisurely small landlord.
When Su Qingyan's grandfather was alive, he visited the Su family in Xiankeng Bay, hoping to find his ancestors, return to his ancestral lineage, and resume ties with his family.
Unfortunately, the mortals of the Su family in Xiankeng Bay, relying on their immortal cultivation family as their backing, were all arrogant and looked down on Su Qingyan's grandfather.
Su Qingyan's grandfather was so angry that he left immediately and never mentioned the topic of tracing one's roots again.
Thinking of this, Su Qingyan forced a smile and said, "So you are a fellow Daoist from the Su family of Xiankeng Bay. I am Su Qingyan."
"Speaking of which, our ancestors were actually one family."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengwu and Su Anwu frowned.
Su Qingyan continued to explain, "My ancestors were originally a branch of the Su family in Xiankeng Bay. Due to some changes, they separated and went to live in the area ruled by the Zhou family in Jin Su Mountain."
"My generation is the 'Yan' generation. According to the family genealogy, you two fellow Daoists are my uncles. Although our family has become independent, the descendants of our family still continue according to the sixteen generations of 'Inheriting the Talents, Cultivating Virtue, Purifying the Source and Establishing the Roots, and Glorifying the Family.' I guess the ancestors meant that if we descendants had the opportunity, it would be easier for us to recognize our ancestors and return to our roots."
Seeing that Su Qingyan had mentioned the generational names of their Su family, the two brothers, Su Zhengwu and Su Anwu, immediately believed seven or eight parts of what Su Qingyan said.
"Then, fellow Daoist, you were born into a mortal family, how did you obtain the destiny to become an immortal?" Su Zhengwu asked curiously.
"It was all luck, really. Once, when I was out hunting, I was chasing an injured prey and lost my bearings. I accidentally wandered into the edge of the Biyue Mountains and found a low-grade first-level spiritual herb. Plus, my wife was married from the Zhou family of Jin Su Mountain. After some maneuvering by the Zhou family..." Su Qingyan told the Su brothers, Su Zhengwu and Su Anwu, a story that was half true and half false.
Time passed slowly.
The relationship between the three quickly improved, and they gradually became much closer.
Taking this opportunity, Su Qingyan quickly embellished the process of ambushing and killing the demonic cultivator before explaining it to the two brothers, Su Zhengwu and Su Anwu.
He did not mention the spirit beast egg and fish eggs.
He only told half the story about the giant serpent beast, saying that the beast was seriously injured and escaped, and that he only managed to ambush and kill the demonic cultivator.
After all, spirit beast eggs, fish eggs, and the corpses of giant snake demons are all valuable items. If Su Zhengwu and Su Anwu were to become greedy, it would be a huge problem.
Even if the possibility seems small, one should still be wary of others.
It's always good to be cautious; it's better to avoid trouble.
This is consistent with Su Qingyan's style.
Since most of Su Qingyan's explanation was true, only omitting some details about his gains, the two brothers, Su Zhengwu and Su Anwu, did not notice any flaws in his statement.
He then accepted Su Qingyan's identity in his heart.
