Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Monkey Hill was not far from White Tiger Mountain, where the family ran a spiritual wine business and planted spirit fruit trees all over the mountains.

If it could be brought under our own name, it would also boost our family's spiritual wine business.

Upon hearing this, the face of an elder not far away stiffened.

He didn't expect Lu Changsheng's bet with Jin Zan to drag his own family into this affair.

"Very well, very well, very well!"

Jin Zan was so infuriated by Lu Changsheng's actions that he laughed out of anger.

The bet hasn't even started, and you're already choosing a spirit land?

Do you really think you can beat me?

Jin Zan said coldly, "Alright, since Lu Mountain Lord is willing to accept, this elder can make the decision; if you win, Monkey Hill will belong to your Bi Lake Mountain, and I'll give you thirty thousand spirit stones!"

After speaking, he turned to the Tao-named Foundation Establishment Cultivator nearby and said, "Daoist Tao, rest assured, if this old one truly loses, I will compensate you with Kuiniu Mountain."

"I naturally trust Elder Jin."

The Tao-named Foundation Establishment Cultivator replied with a salute.

Although he believed in Jin Zan's victory, his heart was still filled with bitterness.

Monkey Hill had been run by his family for nearly a hundred years, and now it was being bet away just like that.

If Jin Zan lost and they really had to move, it would take time, money, and effort to re-establish the family's business, the Mountain Protection Array, and so forth, which would severely damage their vital energy.

But since Jin Zan, the False Core Patriarch, had spoken, he had no room to refuse.

"Fine, then let's set up a Spiritual Contract."

Lu Changsheng spoke up.

Even in such public presence, the Jin Family couldn't possibly go back on their word.

But who knows if the Jin Family would play tricks at the time.

For instance, sabotaging the Mountain Protection Array, the Spirit Vein, and the ample spirit fruits on Monkey Hill.

Jin Zan, seeing Lu Changsheng even wanting to sign a Spiritual Contract, was utterly furious.

Suppressing the rage in his heart, he signed the Spiritual Contract with Lu Changsheng.

Then he said coldly, "Lu Mountain Lord, Lady Lu, I happen to have a barren mountain at Golden Dragon Ridge that can serve as the battleground, please proceed."

Now that his purpose was achieved, he was too lazy to be polite and did not wish to idle talk with Lu Changsheng.

"If any of you have leisure, feel free to come and watch the battle, to bear witness."

Jin Zan told the cultivators in the hall.

Back then at White Tiger Mountain, he had been beaten by Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge and fled in a sorry state, losing face!

Today, he wanted to regain his honor in front of a public audience, to utterly discredit Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge!

"Of course, of course!"

All the cultivators in the hall appeared eager to watch the excitement.

They wanted to see the strength of Jin Zan, the newly promoted False Core Immortal.

They also wanted to see the current combat prowess of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng gave Lu Yuanzhong and others a reassuring look, then holding his wife's hand, went out with Jin Zan and others.

The cultivators outside the villa, seeing the Foundation Establishment Ancestors walking out of the great hall, were clueless about what was happening.

However, as several Foundation Establishment Ancestors took their disciples to watch the battle, many people followed to join in the excitement.

But they could only control their Magic Artifacts to chase after them miserably, completely unable to keep up with the Foundation Establishment Escape Light.

...

Moments later.

Atop a barren mountain in Golden Dragon Ridge.

"Lu Mountain Lord, Lady Lu, please proceed!"

Jin Zan, dressed in brocade and jade, stood with an air of authority and confidence, his hands folded behind his back, exuding an imposing and confident demeanor.

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge exchanged looks, then interlocked their fingers as mana began to circulate within them.

Due to the practice of the Sun Moon Samsara Technique, their mana was now even more harmonious, as if they were one entity.

"Hum!"

As their magic power flowed, Lu Miaoge raised the Taichi Talisman.

This spiritual artifact had been reforged by Lu Changsheng and had been upgraded to a top-grade spiritual tool, significantly increasing its power.

The Taichi Talisman burst forth with dazzling golden light, strands of Yin Yang Energies swirling within it, transforming into a small golden sword that zoomed towards Jin Zan.

"This strike, it's already not weaker than a late-stage Foundation Establishment!"

"The Lu couple, indeed, live up to their reputation!"

Among the spectating cultivators, although there were no False Core Immortals, there were quite a few late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who could see the depth of Lu Changsheng's strike.

"Clang!"

Jin Zan did not dodge or flinch when faced with the Taichi Talisman's sword assault, and a series of fierce and violent golden protective auras surged around him.

This protective aura was different from the ordinary Protective Aura, filled with aggressiveness, directly stopping the Taichi Talisman sword outside.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

The Taichi Talisman sword continuously chopped on the golden light barrier, sending sparks flying, but unable to penetrate Jin Zan's golden protection.

"Hisss, is this the power of a False Core Immortal!"

"Even if it's just a False Core, there's a huge chasm between it and Foundation Establishment!"

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the scene looked at Jin Zan, who was full of golden light and a domineering presence, with eyes filled with longing and awe.

For most people present, achieving False Core in this lifetime would be considered the greatest pursuit of life.

As for forming a True Elixir, that was simply too far and uncertain!

"Lu Mountain Lord, Lady Lu, if you don't use your full strength, you won't stand a chance!"

Jin Zan looked at Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge somewhat mockingly, then let out a loud roar.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Instantly, dragon-like roars erupted from within him.

A spiritual artifact that resembled both a spear and a sword, enveloped in layers of golden aura, appeared, emitting strong mana waves.

"Jin Zan's Life-bound Spiritual Artifact, the Golden Dragon Seal!"

"This spiritual artifact already possesses the aura of Magical Treasures, it can be considered a quasi-Magical Treasure!"

"No wonder Jin Zan is so confident; it turns out his Life-bound Spiritual Artifact has already been nurtured into a quasi-Magical Treasure!"

"The Lu couple are already unable to break Jin Zan's Body-Protecting Magic Barrier; it's going to be difficult to withstand his offense."

"The Lu couple still have their final tactic, the Talisman Formation! Now, let's see if Lu Changsheng's Talisman Formation can suppress this Great Elder of the Jin Family!"

The spectating cultivators looked at the formidable Golden Dragon Seal with a dragon shadow wrapped around it, all of them with grave expressions.

At this moment, a False Core Immortal's cultivation could not make any further progress.
