Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen s Qi-Blood - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Chapter 83: Mirror-Breaking Elixir, The Second Viscera Refinement of the Luo Family
Although they successfully borrowed grain from the Tang Family,

it greatly alleviated the pressure on the Luo Family.

Even so, attacking the nearby towns to expand the family’s influence

was something the Luo Family, despite having the capacity, still did not do.

The pressure of the grain shortage was mitigated a lot,

but this did not mean that the Luo Family could now recklessly expand their power without any inhibitions.

…

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.

During this day, nothing significant happened in the Luo Family of Qingshi Town.

The Chen Family, the side of the King of Huai Shui,

continued to be engrossed in expanding their respective influences.

However, the Tang Family, which possessed countless stocks of grain and was the largest grain merchant in Huai Shui County,

experienced quite a bit of commotion today.

“Who?”

“Who exactly was it?”

Within the city of the Tang Family, inside the Tang Family estate,

in a room adorned with precious calligraphy and paintings that exhibited nobility,

the exceedingly obese Tang Huaiping

was currently smashing various objects in a fit of rage.

The previous theft of the fifty Mo Jade Kirins could be tolerated,

after all, he had indeed been a bit too ostentatious at that time.

The bandits that appeared in the Tang Family’s territory a while back

seemed to have caused quite a bit of trouble for the Tang Family on the surface.

But in reality, those bandits did not inflict any significant losses upon the Tang Family.

Aside from being a bit more slippery,

there wasn’t anything particularly special about that group of bandits.

However, the caravan that was robbed yesterday was a different story.

This caravan had been meticulously prepared by Tang Huaiping

and had carried nearly one-twentieth of the family’s grain reserves.

The aim was to travel to the prefecture city in Luo Mountain Prefecture to exchange for sufficient supplies.

But now not only were the supplies not obtained, even the entire caravan had been directly plundered.

How could Tang Huaiping remain calm?

How could Tang Huaiping keep his composure?

From the earlier Mo Jade Kirins to the current caravan laden with a vast amount of grain,

sometimes even Tang Huaiping could not help but suspect that someone was targeting their Tang Family.

“Is there any news yet?”

“This time, who exactly made their move?”

In the opulent room, Tang Huaiping stared intently at a servant who was on his knees, forehead pressed against the floor.

His expression was somewhat fierce as he asked coldly.

“We, we haven’t investigated it yet…”

The servant replied while his body trembled slightly,

his face already covered with fear of Tang Huaiping.

“You haven’t found out yet?”

“Damn it, you’re useless!”

While saying this, Tang Huaiping picked up a porcelain teacup next to him,

looking as if he intended to end the life of the servant before him with it.

“Huaiping, your heart is in disarray…”

Just as the teacup, wrapped in the force of Qi-Blood, was thrown,

an elderly man, hunched and white-haired, with a face full of wrinkles,

suddenly appeared in the room.

Moreover, the old man extended a somewhat withered right hand

and caught the porcelain teacup.

“Old, old ancestor…”

Seeing the elderly man before him and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from him,

Tang Huaiping swallowed hard and couldn’t help but lower his proud head a bit.

Upon seeing this, the old man sighed lightly, shook his head helplessly,

and seemed at a loss for words.

The Tang Family of the past, the Tang Huaiping of the past, were not like this.

The Tang Family was strong back then.

Even though it could be named one of the three great forces within Huai Shui County, along with the faction of the King of Huai Shui and the old Chen Family,

the Tang Family was definitely the weakest among the three.

Whether facing the King of Huai Shui or the established Chen Family, the Tang Family had no advantages to speak of.

However, as soon as Tang Huaiping took charge,

and became the new Family Head of the Tang Family,

suddenly, the situation underwent a massive change.

After more than twenty years of hard work and management, the Tang Family gradually earned the title of a major grain merchant.

Their grain reserves also grew increasingly substantial and terrifying.

The overall strength of the Tang Family rose steadily each year.

Just as everyone believed that the Tang Family would grow stronger under the leadership of Family Head Tang Huaiping,

his weight began to rise inexplicably.

His personality also started to change as his weight increased.

Until now, it has become somewhat distorted.

“Who acted against us, have you not clarified yet?”

The elder named Tang Qian glanced at the servant kneeling beside him, trembling slightly,

then turned his gaze to Tang Huaiping.

“Old, old ancestor…”

“This matter has not yet been clarified…”

Tang Huaiping said with a lowered head, speaking softly.

“You may leave for now!”

Tang Qian looked at the trembling servant beside him and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

After the servant left,

Tang Qian then silently walked towards where Tang Huaiping was,

casually taking a seat in an armchair.

After a moment of silence, Tang Qian said with a hoarse voice, “The ones with the ability to act against our Tang Family, here in Huai Shui County, are only a few.”

“The Luo Family, the King of Huai Shui, and the Chen Family…”

After thinking for a while, Tang Huaiping added, “Old ancestor, the Luo Family should not have the courage to act against our Tang Family, nor should they have the ability.”
