Chapter 66 Mentality Change
Mu family residence.
Inside a pavilion.
The eldest daughter Mu Chunfeng was chatting with another young female cultivator from the Mu family.
She did not attend the exchange meeting of the Yizi Cave Monks today, not because she was not qualified, but because she did not have anything to trade or buy.
Mu Chunfeng's cultivation level had officially broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining not long ago.
It would take at most another two years of accumulation and cultivation to the great perfection of Qi Refining, then you can formally strive for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Now, the only thing she needs is the Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, strategic items like the Foundation Establishment Pill would not appear at the Nanshanfang exchange meeting, but would only appear at some larger immortal city auctions.
If it were the Mu family of the past, it would be extremely difficult to auction off a Foundation Establishment Pill.
First of all, the Foundation Establishment Pill is very expensive and requires multiple biddings; secondly, even if you get the Foundation Establishment Pill, it may be robbed by the cultivators or hostile families along the way, turning a good thing into a disaster.
But now, when Mu Chunfeng reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage in the future, he will almost certainly be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The reason is naturally that her father, Mu Renjie, made a stunning debut after coming out of seclusion. He possessed strength comparable to that of a late foundation-building cultivator. In the entire Southwestern Dayu immortal cultivation world, he can barely be considered a top figure.
With the current strength and status of the Mu family, it would not be a problem to get a Foundation Establishment Pill at the auction.
Among the younger generation of the Mu family, Mu Chunfeng is undoubtedly the best in terms of talent and cultivation. With the Foundation Establishment Pill, she ranks first.
"Sister Chunfeng, even if Xiao Changqing has an excellent talent for the art of talismans, it cannot hide the fact that he only has low-grade spiritual roots. He will definitely not be able to build a foundation in the future, so he is not my ideal partner. Besides, I don't know him, so why are you trying to bring us together?"
The young female cultivator who was chatting with Mu Chunfeng was named Mu Yajing, and she was the niece of the eldest elder of the Mu family.
Mu Yajing can be considered as one of the more outstanding female cultivators among the younger generation of the Mu family.
Although she is not as dazzling as Mu Chunfeng, she possesses middle-grade spiritual roots. Although she is still young, she has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and has the hope of building a foundation in the future.
She was also beautiful and had many suitors in Nanshanfang.
Nowadays, the status of the Mu family is growing day by day, and the female cultivators of the Mu family are also rising in status. Naturally, Mu Yajing's vision has become more long-term.
The ideal Taoist partner she wanted to find must be someone who could build a foundation in the future.
The so-called Master Xiao Fu might be very helpful to the family, but he was not what he wanted.
"Although Xiao Changqing has low-grade spiritual roots, he has now reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. He is making rapid progress, even faster than you." Mu Chunfeng spoke well of Xiao Changqing.
Mu Yajing was not fooled: "What's the point of practicing fast now? When he reaches the threshold of foundation building, his low-grade spiritual roots will block him and he will not be able to make it. Can he break the record of the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World for 400 years?"
Mu Chunfeng smiled and shook his head, comforting him: "Okay, you are right, Xiao Changqing is indeed hopeless in building a foundation. However, it is almost certain that he will be promoted to a second-level talisman master in the future. The status of a second-level talisman master is only higher than that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator. The lifespan and strength are slightly worse, but in the future the Mu family may rely on you. Isn't that good?"
Mu Yajing pouted and said nothing.
After that, Mu Chunfeng persuaded her many times before she reluctantly agreed to be matched.
In her heart, she was still unwilling. But she knew she couldn't object, because this was what the family wanted her to do, sacrificing her to win over a future second-level talisman master.
Moreover, even if she has to be sacrificed, Xiao Changqing should take the initiative to pursue her. Why should he let her prepare herself mentally, as if she is the one giving herself away?
Even when the Mu family underestimated her before, she had never been so cheap!
At this time, the eldest elder of the Mu family came over with a sullen face and said straight to the point: "The marriage between Yajing and Xiao Changqing is over! Don't mention it again in the future!"
Mu Chunfeng frowned: "Great Elder, why do you regret what you said?"
A few years ago, she insisted on investing in Xiao Changqing, but was rejected by this great elder, and now he wants to stop her.
"I regret it? If you, Miss, had also attended the exchange meeting today and seen Xiao Changqing's arrogant face, you would be more opposed than I am!" The eldest elder of the Mu family said angrily.
Afterwards, he exaggerated the story and told how Xiao Changqing looked down on the Mu family and how he rejected his kindness.
After listening to this, Mu Chunfeng asked in confusion, "It shouldn't be that serious, right? Is there any misunderstanding? Based on my understanding of Xiao Changqing, he is not an arrogant person, but a very humble one."
The Mu family's eldest elder became even more unhappy upon hearing this, and said in a cold voice: "Miss, you believe outsiders and not me?"
"Great Elder, Chunfeng didn't mean that. It's just..." Mu Chunfeng wanted to explain.
The elder of the Mu family waved his hand and said forcefully, "There is absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter! Xiao Changqing is a low-grade spiritual root. Even if he has a good talent for talismans and has the hope of being promoted to a second-level talisman master in the future, so what? Does my Mu family need to beg him now? If the eldest lady insists on having her own way and wants to match Jingya with Xiao Changqing, then you can ask the head of the family for an order! The head of the family gives an order, and I dare not disobey! But other than that, there is absolutely no possibility!
Upon hearing this, Mu Chunfeng felt deeply helpless and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.
Let her father give the order? That was even more hopeless.
It's even harder than convincing the Great Elder to change his mind!
Because her father's current state is very wrong! Very paranoid! Even a little bit gloomy!
As a daughter, Mu Chunfeng naturally knows her father very well.
In the past, Mu Renjie had great ambitions, but he was not blindly arrogant, nor was he filled with violence and cruelly murderous.
In the past, it was understandable that he had been ruthless to his enemies, and Mu Chunfeng did not think there was anything wrong with that. But now, if someone did not go his way, he would beat and kill them at will, which was too extreme.
Yes, her father is now the undisputed number one in Nanshanfang, with strength comparable to that of a late foundation building cultivator, and can act tyrannically.
But the strength in the late stage of foundation building, looking at the entire Dayu immortal cultivation world, or even just the southwestern part of Dayu, cannot be said to be truly standing at the highest point!
Mu Chunfeng believes that it is not a good thing if one becomes too arrogant and loses his awe of the immortal way.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, Mu Chunfeng believes that his father's change may be related to the magical power he cultivated...
Under the leadership and influence of her father, there is actually something wrong with the entire Mu family.
The Great Elder is a typical example.
Because he had lived a very frustrating life in the past few years, once he gained power, he became a little too impetuous and radical and couldn't calm down.
It is true that the Mu family is now the number one family in Nanshanfang, but their foundation is far from solid enough. They are not to the point where they can be arrogant and sit back and relax.
Just like the Cao family, which has two people who have established their foundation, they are always a hidden danger.
Not to mention the current turbulent situation outside, the evil cultivators of the Demon Cult are closing in step by step, and the Mu family is so arrogant and stealing the limelight, which may not be a good thing!
