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

How should I treat him?

Ao Ding suddenly opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes were they?

The crimson color had already spread across the entire eyeball.

Apart from the crimson color, Luo Changfeng seemed to able to decipher many things from Ao Ding's eyes.

Pain, struggle, death...

Approximately the time it takes for one breath to pass.

Ao Ding, whose cultivation was about to break through the Blood Refinement Realm, just collapsed straight onto the ground.

His body unmoving, his breathing had already stopped.

The beating of his heart also seemed to be getting weaker with the passage of time.

Until a few breaths of time had passed.

The beating of Ao Ding's heart, had completely ceased.

"Dead?"

After a moment of silence, Luo Changfeng stepped forward.

He placed his withered right hand lightly on top of Ao Ding's head.

After a period of observation,

Luo Changfeng finally gathered some information.

The death of Ao Ding didn't seem to be because the power of the Qi-Blood Elixir was too strong, leading to his loss of control.

His body, and his internal organs,

Had not suffered any damage.

But his head,

Was now internally a complete mess.

At the same time, that hidden, mysterious and strange power within Ao Ding's body

Had also disappeared without a trace.

As if it had never appeared at all.

"So, why is this?"

Luo Changfeng silently turned around and returned to the shelter of the Stone Pavilion.

In his mind, such a question gradually emerged.

Was it because of that mysterious power that caused it?

But whether it was Ao Ding from before,

Or the four remaining Organ Refinement Realm cultivators in front of him,

There have still been no problems to date.

But if it wasn't because of that mysterious power, why did Ao Ding in front of him suddenly die?

Even to the extent that everything inside his brain was a wreck?

...

In the courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion.

The atmosphere here was gradually becoming tense and serious.

Luo Changfeng was slightly furrowing his brows,

Contemplating the question of why Ao Ding had suddenly died.

The four previously excited Organ Refinement Realm cultivators in front of him, having witnessed the scene of Ao Ding's death, had also turned somewhat pale.

Even their bodies were trembling slightly.

Panic flickered in their eyes.

"Is it because that mysterious energy accumulated to a certain level, leading to this outbreak?"

With this thought,

Luo Changfeng seemed to understand something.

Why Ao Ding died while the four Organ Refinement Realm cultivators in front of him were still alive and well.

However, a hypothesis after all is just a guess.

To confirm it, more experiments were needed.

More information was needed as well.

...

In a blink, three days had passed.

Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was.

The messenger from the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture had once again arrived at the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

After intense discussions within the Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture,

They eventually decided that, even at a certain cost, they must sign a non-aggression pact with the Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture.

The war between the Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture and Qingcheng Prefecture had ended.

The Miao Family of Chenguan Prefecture, which is close to Changping Prefecture, although they had offended the Luo Family a while ago and snatched a piece of meat from their mouths,

The distance between Chenguan Prefecture and Luo Mountain Prefecture is ultimately still a bit far.

The Miao Family from Chenguan Prefecture is naturally not the best choice for the Luo Family.

So, once the Luo Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture wants to continue expanding and wants to amplify their own strength,

the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture will absolutely be the best choice.

Not only because the Guan Family is located in the land of Luo Mountain Prefecture,

it is very convenient whether they want to start a war or need to resupply.

Beyond that, there's another reason.

It is the overall strength of the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture.

Among the nearby familial forces, they are one of the weakest.

...

"Luo Family Patriarch..."

"If the Luo Family Patriarch is willing to sign a non-aggression pact with our Guan Family, we are even willing to cede a prefecture's worth of territory,"

"With such sincerity, I wonder if the Luo Family Patriarch will agree?"

Inside the room.

The envoy from the Guan Family bowed slightly,

speaking with a hint of nervousness.

"Cede a prefecture's worth of territory?"

When Luo Ping heard this, he was first taken aback, then his eyes flashed with an incredulous look.

That Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture, they really are generous!

Merely to sign a non-aggression pact with the Luo Family,

they are willing to directly cede a prefecture's worth of territory to the Luo Family.

Moreover, when it comes to the strength of cultivators,

when agreed upon, a pact is a pact.

When not agreed upon, a pact is just a scrap of paper.

It holds absolutely no binding power.

And yet, the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture is still willing to do this.

Thus, Luo Ping couldn't help but contemplate deeply in his heart.

What is the true intention behind the Guan Family's actions?

"Brother Lu, what do you think of the Guan Family's sincerity?"

After a moment of silence,

Luo Ping suddenly turned his head,

and in a low voice, asked the Lu Family Patriarch, Lu Jun, who was beside him.

He wanted to hear what Lu Jun's opinion was.

Lu Jun nodded silently and said, "The sincerity of the Guan Family is indeed sufficient, but is this cession of a prefecture's worth of territory really what the head of the Guan Family said?"

The envoy nodded repeatedly in response, "It is indeed what our Family Head personally said..."

At this, even Lu Jun seemed to fall silent.

He seemed to be pondering what the Guan Family's real purpose was in doing this.

...

Not long after,

The envoy from the Guan Family left.

In the end, the Luo Family did not agree to what the Guan Family had said, that so-called non-aggression pact.

Mainly because the matter was too mysterious.

A prefecture's worth of land, that's a whole prefecture.

It is not just some county town or a few towns. Explore hidden tales at empire

We're talking about a whole prefecture!

It is known that even on the Luo Family side, they only have jurisdiction over nine prefectures.

Four in Luo Mountain Prefecture, five in Changping Prefecture.

And now, the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture is willing to pay the price of a prefecture for a pact that holds no binding force.

This is somewhat abnormal.

"What do you think about this, Brother Lu?"

In the room of the Luo Family Ancestral Land, Luo Family Patriarch asked,

Luo Ping's expression carrying a hint of doubt.

He inquired in a low voice to Lu Jun, who was beside him.

"Some odd, some unusual..."

Lu Jun said softly.

Luo Ping's eyebrows knit together slightly, "Odd? Unusual?"

Lu Jun said calmly, "A pact like this, in reality, holds no binding force, and given that the Guan Family knows this, yet still wants to sign a pact with us, there are only two explanations that can make sense of the Guan Family's actions..."

Luo Ping looked at Lu Jun beside him, pressing, "Which two explanations?"

After pondering for a moment and organizing his thoughts, Lu Jun replied softly, "One, the head of the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture has some issues with his thinking, which is why he made such a decision; the second is that the Guan Family might be hiding something that they don't want us to know, which is why they made such a decision..."
