Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Achieving Victory

Chen Wuluo’s face filled with fear.

He activated his Flying Sword and slashed towards Iron Pillar, and the huge Sword Qi surged in the air.

“Your opponent is me.”

Lu Li directly controlled Aminokaze, and under the “Unity of Sword and Light,” it transformed into a stunning rainbow that slashed towards the opponent’s Flying Sword.

“Bang!”

With a loud noise, both Flying Swords violently retreated.

Iron Pillar, seeing this, attacked the Demon Wolf once more.

For a moment, the entire platform was ravaged by strong energies, and the Array Light Screen began to undulate wildly.

Before long, Iron Pillar completely dominated, opening its huge bloody maw and fiercely biting the back of the Moon Howling Wolf, then with one sweep of its tail, it sent it flying tens of meters.

“Aooo aooo aooo…”

With a painful howl that pierced the heavens, the Demon Wolf crashed heavily against the Array Light Screen, its breath becoming very weak.

Chen Wuluo’s face filled with fear.

“Could it be that I am going to lose?”

His heart was filled with immense anger, yet he was helpless.

He could only strenuously maneuver his Flying Sword to fend off Lu Li’s attacks.

At this moment, Iron Pillar, with unabated momentum, attacked Chen Wuluo.

The fierce Sword Qi struck Iron Pillar’s scales but failed to injure it fundamentally.

As it drew close, Iron Pillar suddenly swept its tail.

The opponent’s illusion of a True Dragon immediately dissipated into smoke, and it crashed heavily against the edge of the Array.

“Pfft!”

Chen Wuluo felt a massive burst of Demon Energy assault him, causing him to spit out fresh blood.

His complexion instantly turned pale.

“I admit defeat.”

Feeling the cold murderous intent of the demon python and the scant Mana left in his body, he had no choice but to admit defeat, his face showing reluctance.

“Mr. Chen is considerate!”

Lu Li gave a light smile and put away his Flying Sword.

Afterward, Lu Hongchang and Chen Mo opened the Array and welcomed the two fighters down.

“Hmph, the Lu Family Ancestor indeed has cunning strategies, I hope you can maintain this in the future.”

Chen Mo snorted coldly, taking Chen Wuluo back to their starting position.

Lu Hongchang chuckled and said, “There’s no need for the Chen Family to worry, this time my Lu Family has won.”

“According to the agreement, for the next ten years, the mining shares will be solely owned by my Lu Family.”

Finally, a victory was scored, and the entire Lu Family was caught up in immense joy.

As the major hero of this victory, Lu Li, returning to his original spot, distinctly felt the warmth of everyone’s enthusiasm.

Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuling had extremely surprised expressions.

Even Lu Hongchang’s face was full of praise.

Even Third Aunt Lu Yuting took a serious turn, “Li boy, you really made the Lu Family proud this time.”

“Old Ghost Chen’s strategy failed; he must be fuming.”

“Serving the family is an undeniable duty.”

Lu Li modestly responded.

At that moment, he sensed an unusual gaze from the side.

Turning his head, he saw a woman in a purple palace dress from the Wang Family looking at him with some astonishment.

The woman, in her twenties, had delicate features and a well-proportioned body, her Qi Cultivation around the sixth level.

Seeing Lu Li look over, she even flashed him a slight smile, a somewhat seductive gaze.

Beside him, Lu Yuling, sensing the situation, giggled, “Wang Ziyuan seems to have taken a liking to Brother Six now, should your little sister help you?”

Lu Li’s expression became a bit odd.

He had heard of this person; she had a somewhat notorious reputation nearby, sought by quite a few cultivators.

At this time, various other cultivator families began to bid their farewells and leave.

The Chen Family left without a word, their expressions somewhat unpleasant.

Watching them leave, Lu Hongchang also released the Flying Boat, preparing to return.

Everyone leapt up and boarded the Flying Boat.

Activating the control Array, the Flying Boat quickly flew towards Mystic Moon Island.

On the other side, the Chen Family boarded their Flying Boat, all maintaining silence.

“It’s not Chen Wuluo’s fault this battle was lost; it’s the slyness of the Lu Family Ancestor.”

“To think he secretly nurtured a demon python and even fed it the Essence Blood of a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.”

Chen Mo spoke in a chilling tone,

“This time when I return, I’ll make sure to explain everything to the Ancestor.”

Upon hearing the Elder’s words, Chen Wuluo’s expression improved slightly.

He, of course, would not admit he was inferior to that boy from the Lu Family.

“Not bad, this person is not worth worrying about, but if the Lu Family has acquired so many resources, what if…”

Chen Mo smiled coldly, “The Ancestor has plans for that situation.”

…

Not long after, the members of the Lu Family returned to Mystic Moon Island.

As soon as Lu Li returned to his cave, he headed straight to his secret chamber and promptly fell asleep without attending to anything else.

The next day, in the early morning, Lu Li began his sitting meditation for Qi Cultivation.

He planned to keep a low profile for a while to avoid drawing unwelcome attention.

For the following ten or so days, he continued his meditative cultivation within his cave.

These days, the results of the clashes among the four families were buzzing through the nearby seas.

Many thought the spirit beast developed specially by the Lu Family’s Ancestor was solely to contend with the Chen Family.

This led some to sense the depth of the Lu Family Ancestor’s strategic thinking.

Consequently, Lu Li also gained quite a reputation in the surrounding seas.

Of course, because of the Lu Family Ancestor, many truths were also obscured.

Everyone assumed it was merely the emergence of another promising young member of the Lu Family. That was it.

This relieved Lu Li, knowing well that standing out prematurely without sufficient power would definitely draw piercing eyes.

Thankfully, outsiders thought it was just the backup plan of the Lu Family’s Ancestor, and he had merely gained a small amount of fame.

Over the next few years, it would be best to let the matter gradually fade away.

Now that he had earned a significant amount of contribution points, he planned to return to the sea.

Some of his previous ideas could now be fully implemented.

Farming underwater, the thought alone was quite novel.

Yes, he planned to cultivate a spirit field underwater, creating a foundation for his future.

However, he lacked a powerful Array for protection, and now was the perfect time to exchange his family contribution points for one.

It was a good time to lay low, and the Spirit Turtle Basin was a promising refuge.

Lu Li rose from his cave and headed towards the mountain peak.

Along the way, many clansmen and guest elders greeted him warmly, their eyes now holding a few more shades of respect than before.

Indeed, only strength could command respect.

Lu Li felt somewhat emotional.

It didn’t take long before he arrived at the entrance to the Ancestor’s cave.

Before he could send a Communication Talisman, a gentle voice sounded from inside,

“Li, come in.”

Lu Li entered.

Upon looking up, he saw Lu Tiande smiling at him, his eyes brimming with admiration.

“Haha… You did well this time, severely denting the prestige of the Chen Family. I’ve disliked them for a long time.”

“I heard that old ghost from the Chen Family’s face twisted in rage, years of preparation gone to waste.”

The smile on Lu Tian’s face was unmistakable.

“Speak, what brings you to see this old man today?”

With my good mood, as long as it’s nothing too excessive, I’ll grant your request.

“Ancestor, I wish to exchange for a second-tier Array.”

Lu Li smiled slightly, not beating around the bush.

Within the family, spiritual materials and objects beyond the second tier were kept in the Ancestor’s secret vault.

Only more common spiritual objects could be exchanged through Lu Yuting.

Hearing this, Lu Tiande nodded, “Did you bring enough contribution points?”

Lu Li handed his family’s Jade Token to Lu Tiande.

“Here is the remaining fifteen hundred, plus the seven thousand from winning the clash, just enough.”

At that, Lu Tiande joked, “You must have had your eyes on that lower-grade, second-tier Array Plate for a while now.”

“Without a lack of contribution points, I wouldn’t have taken action.”

Lu Li looked slightly embarrassed, “As a member of the Lu Family, it’s naturally my duty.”

Lu Tiande said nothing else and turned to go deeper into the cave.

Not long after, he returned with a set of Array Plates.
