60: Chapter 60 Li Changsheng and Lin Hao
Shopkeeper Mo finally showed a smile.
Indeed, the idea of finding those few people to persuade the Young Master was correct!
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I will give you a thirty percent discount on the Green Fusion Stone you ordered."
Thirty percent off was practically the cost price.
Buying ore costs money, mining stone costs money, transportation costs money. For a Material like Green Fusion Stone, the price cannot be set too high, and the profit margin itself is not large.
Ye Wang was naturally pleased to hear this.
Even if the Master had Spirit Stones, he would save whenever possible.
On the third floor, Ye Fan could only participate in the fray for the first little while; after that, he just watched the fight.
He couldn't help but admire the strength of the two older brothers.
The ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage was evenly matched with Big Brother Jin, who was in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
And it wasn't two against one.
It was three people fighting together!
However, even though the third floor was built with a special recoverable Material like Green Fusion Stone, it couldn't withstand the speed of destruction caused by the three.
Seeing the third floor on the verge of collapse, Jin Fugui hurriedly recalled his abacus and called a halt.
"Enough, enough! You are going to smash my place apart."
Xiao Tian had just warmed up his muscles and hadn't even taken out the heaven-shattering hammer to swing it yet, so he was a bit unhappy.
"Change locations?"
Jin Fugui broke out in a cold sweat.
Did he call a halt just because his house couldn't take it anymore?
Of course, it was also because he had a premonition that if the two monsters got serious, he definitely wouldn't be a match!
After all, he was also called "Big Brother Jin"; losing a fight would be too embarrassing.
"Cough! Don't you two want to know news about your two older brothers?"
Xiao Tian was eager to continue, "We can talk about that later."
Jin Fugui was on the verge of tears and looked at Su Xin, hoping he could persuade them!
Su Xin actually didn't feel like fighting that much. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I am rather curious about the father-son relationship between Big Brother Jin and you."
Jin Fugui fell silent.
Xiao Tian's gaze flickered, and he took out the lightning-flashing heaven-shattering hammer, "Otherwise, perhaps..."
"I'll talk! I'll talk! Hurry up and put the hammer away!"
Xiao Tian reluctantly put away the heaven-shattering hammer, looked at the ruined room, and said, "How do we clean this up..."
Jin Fugui was terrified that Xiao Tian would change his mind, so he waved his hand, put the wreckage into his spatial storage, and then brought out a new set of furniture.
It was even more luxurious and Wealthy than the previous one.
Xiao Tian sat down on Jin Fugui's left side, put his arm over his left shoulder, and said, "Big Brother Jin, we'll continue next time."
Jin Fugui's mouth twitched slightly, "I'm not good at fighting. Alright, we'll talk about my matters later. Let's talk about what I found regarding your older brothers first."
"In the Cultivation World, there really is a Hidden Family called the Li Family. They prefer to send out branch lines to various places simply because the Li Family loves having children too much. Since the Li Family's resources aren't enough to support all their clansmen, they send out those with lower Cultivation and weaker Aptitude."
"The Li Family almost never bothers with those branch lines they send out, unless..."
Xiao Tian was anxious, "Unless what?"
Jin Fugui's expression was solemn and carried a hint of complexity, "Unless a special Physique belonging to the Li Family's Legacy appears."
Su Xin lowered his eyelids, half of his face shadowed, making his expression look somewhat gloomy. "The branch of the Li Family that our older brother came from happened to produce a special Physique, so he was sought back by the Li Family."
Xiao Tian was surprised, "Is it that coincidental? Could it be that the person with the special Physique is our older brother?"
Because of his and Su Xin's situation, he was too confident, believing his brothers must have strong talents.
Jin Fugui's expression became even stranger, "Although your older brother is named Li Changsheng, the person with the special Physique is actually not him."
"The one with the special Physique, is it that Miss Li?" Ye Fan asked confidently.
Jin Fugui glanced at Ye Fan in surprise, then nodded, "It is her! The Li Family's Longevity Body! Originally, the Longevity Body of the Li Family was almost cut off, but unexpectedly, it has been continued."
"Longevity Body?" The three cultivation novices expressed confusion.
Jin Fugui explained, "The Longevity Body doubles one's Innate Lifespan, and this doubling happens at every Realm."
"For example, if the Lifespan at the Qi Refining Stage is one hundred and fifty years, the Longevity Body's Lifespan in the Qi Refining Stage is three hundred."
"And every time one breaks through a major Realm, the Lifespan doubles. For instance, breaking through to Foundation Establishment, the Lifespan is three hundred; breaking through to Golden Core, the Lifespan is six hundred; breaking through to Nascent Soul, the Lifespan is one thousand two hundred..."
"The Longevity Body doubles the Lifespan based on each Realm. Foundation Establishment Lifespan is six hundred, Golden Core Lifespan is one thousand two hundred, Nascent Soul Lifespan is two thousand four hundred..."
"It is precisely because the Lifespan doubles with every Breakthrough that so many Qi Refiners desperately Cultivate, seeking longevity and avoiding the end of their Lifespan."
"The doubled Lifespan of the Longevity Body gives a Cultivator twice the time to attempt a higher Realm, greatly increasing the possibility of reaching a higher Cultivation."
"Furthermore, at the same Cultivation level, the Longevity Body has more Lifespan, allowing it to protect its affiliated power for a longer time."
"That's why the Li Family reproduced so frantically, just for that slim possibility of the Longevity Body!"
Xiao Tian and the others were deeply moved by what they heard.
That Lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years felt no different from immortality to them.
Su Xin was the first to recover from the shock and asked a question, "Our older brother is the son of that Longevity Body in the Li Family. Since he is in the Li Family, he should be doing quite well, right?"
Jin Fugui sighed, "You could say it's alright!"
Xiao Tian immediately frowned, "What do you mean, 'you could say'?"
Jin Fugui said, "If you think like ordinary Cultivators, your older brother doesn't lack Cultivation Resources and lives quite well."
Su Xin said grimly, "Is he being ostracized in the Li Family?"
Jin Fugui shook his head, "Not exactly. It's just that as the son of the Longevity Body, the Li Family placed high hopes on him, but your older brother's Aptitude is very average. The pressure he faces is far from ordinary."
Seeing the three frowning, Jin Fugui changed his tone, "You don't need to worry too much. The Li Family won't make things difficult for your two older brothers, out of consideration for the Longevity Body."
Xiao Tian quickly said, "Right, two. What about the other older brother? What is his name? How is he?"
Jin Fugui said, "His name is Lin Hao. He is Li Changsheng's wet nurse brother; the two grew up together and have a very good relationship. Lin Hao's Cultivation Aptitude is even worse than Li Changsheng's; he follows the path of a Body Cultivator."
Xiao Tian's eyes lit up, "Body Cultivator?"
He became eager to try.
Jin Fugui looked at Xiao Tian and sincerely advised, "Although Lin Hao is a Body Cultivator at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, the Cultivation Technique he practices is very ordinary. It's just a Yellow-Grade Cultivation Technique the Li Family uses to train attendants, it can't compare to Young Brother Tian's Cultivation Technique."
So, you should just give up the idea!
Xiao Tian and Su Xin immediately frowned.
Thinking about the Immortal-Grade Cultivation Techniques they themselves practiced, their older brother was practicing something common.
Even Ye Fan frowned.
The Cultivation Technique he was practicing now, while not the best, was an Earth-Grade Cultivation Technique purchased from the Duobao Tower.
Xiao Tian immediately said, "We must hurry back to tell the old man, go bring Brother Hao back!"
Jin Fugui grabbed Xiao Tian, "What's the rush? Listen to me finish first."
"The reason Hidden Families are called Hidden Families is because if they don't come out on their own, it's very hard for outsiders to find them."
Xiao Tian looked at Jin Fugui, "Big Brother Jin, you don't have a way either?"
Jin Fugui shook his head.
Xiao Tian's expression became dejected.
Jin Fugui found it amusing.
Su Xin saw Jin Fugui looking like he was enjoying their misfortune and narrowed his eyes.
"Big Brother Jin, next, shouldn't you tell us the story about you and your father? We brothers will help you strategize and dig out the poison between you two."
Jin Fugui performed the 'smile vanishing act'.
