Chapter 300: Insufficient Foundation, No One Available

From the moment Xu Qingzhou appeared until the Chu Family was annihilated, no one stepped forward to say a word, nor did anyone come to watch the excitement, as if this place were a forgotten no-man's-land.

In reality, this was because the You Country Royal Family's Old Ancestor was supervising the battle, blocking everyone who sensed a Saint Realm expert and rushed over.

At the same time, he blocked the Chu Family's path, leaving them no way to ascend to heaven or descend into the earth.

The You Country Old Ancestor, hidden in the shadows, witnessed all of this and clicked his tongue in wonder.

"I didn't expect Xu Qingzhou to actually possess a saint weapon."

"However, with the Divine Firmament Palace's three Palace Lords who possess Saint King strength behind the Xu Family, and the Eldest Princess in the Emperor Realm also present, it's normal for them to have a saint weapon."

"This Chu Family is truly unlucky; of all people to provoke, they provoked the Xu Family, which has boundless prospects."

Although the Xu Family did not publicize the fact that Xu Muge and Xu Ying had joined the most powerful forces, those with discerning minds had already guessed it.

After all, those were Immortal Bodies, and the Xu Family could still remain safe and sound after the news spread to other continents.

This indicates that the two Immortal Bodies have found backers, and they are helping the Xu Family fend off the fiends and monsters coveting the Immortal Bodies.

Just as the You Country Royal Family's Old Ancestor was sighing, the battle on Mount Wangyou (Forget-Worry Mountain) had reached its end and entered the phase of clearing the battlefield.

As the You Country's foremost Family, the Chu Family had a Legacy of ten thousand years and an extremely deep foundation, possessing considerable wealth.

Since they were annihilated, the Chu Family's assets naturally could not be spared.

Xu Qingzhou also conveniently extracted the Profound Grade Spiritual Vein beneath Mount Wangyou (Forget-Worry Mountain).

Although this Profound Grade Spiritual Vein contained far less spiritual energy than the one Xu Luo found in the Forging Sect's Secret Realm, it was still Profound-grade and definitely worth a considerable amount.

After the Hidden Dragon Guards finished clearing the battlefield and plundering all the assets they could from the mountain, Xu Qingzhou waved his hand and led them away.

Not long after, the news of the Chu Family's annihilation spread, as from a great distance one could clearly see Mount Wangyou (Forget-Worry Mountain) split in half by a single strike.

As the You Country's foremost Family, the Chu Family held a very high status and reputation within the territories of the Eight Ancient Kingdoms.

Now that they were annihilated, it naturally caused a stir and sparked continuous discussion.

"Is it true? A Family as powerful as the Chu Family just disappeared?"

"I heard there's not even a single living thing left on Mount Wangyou (Forget-Worry Mountain) now."

"Who on earth did this? They're too ruthless."

"I don't know, there's no information coming out yet."

"Even if a chicken is slaughtered, it would still make a sound, right? How could a Family as large as the Chu Family be annihilated with not a single piece of news getting out?"

"It shows that the other party is either very strong or holds a very high position, and no one dares to speak."

The various forces in You Country closest to the scene were all blocked by the Royal Family's Old Ancestor, so as long as he didn't speak, no one would know who did it.

Xu Qingzhou didn't intentionally want him to conceal it; he just didn't want to be too high-profile before the Xu Family's wings were fully grown.

Resolving the Chu Family this time not only helped Kong Lao get revenge but also allowed the Xu Family to make a small profit.

The wealth accumulated by the Chu Family is enough to buy many sets of five elements spiritual objects, allowing the Xu Family to produce many more Five Elements Bodies.

Not long after returning home, Xu Qingzhou gave this large sum of money to Kong Lao, asking him to go to other nearby continents to purchase five elements spiritual objects.

Also, the upgraded versions of five elements spiritual objects must be gathered as soon as possible, so that the Xu Family can produce a few more Five Elements Divine Bodies sooner.

A few months later, Kong Lao returned.

Xu Qingzhou asked, "Was everything smooth this time?"

Kong Lao paused slightly and replied, "There was a minor setback in the middle, but overall, it was smooth."

"Oh?" Xu Qingzhou put down his teacup, becoming interested. "Tell me about it."

It turned out that Kong Lao went to another adjacent continent, and while he was collecting and purchasing five elements spiritual objects everywhere, he was targeted by someone with ulterior motives. After all, he was spending lavishly yet his origin was unknown, making it easy for him to be noticed.

However, those people were quite cautious; after stopping Kong Lao, they didn't rush to kill him and seize his goods.

Instead, they wanted to first clarify his background.

Kong Lao was also very astute, understanding the other party's concerns and worries.

So Kong Lao said he was from the Xu Family in Broken Mountain City, Cang Continent, and that the Xu Family's three Heavenly Prodigies had respectively become disciples of the three Divine Firmament Palace Lords, and he even directly took out a Divine Firmament Palace Lord's token.

They didn't know about the Xu Family in Broken Mountain City, but they certainly knew about the Divine Firmament Palace in Cang Continent.

Although the forces behind them were not weak, as long as they were not forces possessing Emperor Realm experts, they wouldn't dare to easily provoke the Divine Firmament Palace with its three Saint Kings.

Therefore, the other party immediately abandoned the idea of robbery and even treated him to a meal and apologized.

Xu Qingzhou chuckled after hearing Kong Lao's account, filled with emotion.

"Indeed, having a certain background is very useful when traveling outside."

If Kong Lao hadn't revealed the name of the Divine Firmament Palace and shown the Palace Lord's token, he would have been completely taken advantage of by them on the spot.

Kong Lao, deeply moved, nodded repeatedly. Although no fighting occurred this time, he had truly walked through the gates of hell.

Xu Qingzhou said, "Let's put aside the matter of purchasing five elements spiritual objects from other continents for now."

This time was good luck. What if next time they encountered a hothead who attacked directly? It's better to be cautious.

Kong Lao nodded helplessly. Ultimately, their strength was still a bit lacking. If he were in the Saint Realm, things would be much better.

This exposes the problem of the Xu Family's insufficient foundation; there are too few strong individuals. Kong Lao is the only one in the Combination Realm, and Xu Qingzhou is the only one in the Saint Realm.

There is no one available to use.

Fortunately, there are many talented clansmen in the Xu Family, and there are so many Hidden Dragon Guards. Things will be much better once they grow up.

Kong Lao and Xu Qingzhou chatted about some interesting anecdotes from his trip and took out the purchased five elements spiritual objects to hand over to him.

The continent he went to this time was average in all aspects, so he bought thirteen sets of basic five elements spiritual objects, but only one type of upgraded five elements spiritual object.

Xu Qingzhou wasn't in a hurry. There are thousands of continents in the Tian Yuan World. Buying some from this continent and some from that continent will accumulate over time, and one day, the Xu Family will have a large number of Five Elements Bodies and even Five Elements Divine Bodies readily available.

Moreover, the strongest continents possess the most resources.

If they could visit the twenty strongest continents in the Tian Yuan World, they would surely be able to buy quite a number of sets.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the Xu Family must have enough Spirit Stones. After all, even the basic five elements spiritual objects cost a large amount of Spirit Stones to buy one set, let alone the five types of upgraded spiritual objects.

The spiritual objects are there; it just depends on when they have enough Spirit Stones to go and purchase them.

Therefore, vigorously developing the Family's various industries and earning more Spirit Stones is the top priority.

Fortunately, with a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, the Xu Family's Alchemy and artifact forging businesses have a promising future. If they relied solely on brewing and selling wine, they wouldn't be able to sustain the Xu Family's current large expenses.
