Since Hong Jun chased his cheap mother out of the Hong clan territory, it has been seven years.
The changes that have happened in the seven years are not small, and now every corner of the Hong clan is covered by Origin Trees.
Some are as tall as nine meters. The trees are grown in certain orders, as such, not disrupting the organization of the clan.
With every five meters, a tree is present.
Not a trace of spiritual energy is present in the place. It has become a place without spiritual energy, but this is not the only thing.
Time has made Hong Jun and Su Qingqin appear more mature and steady.
It is not the only thing; their presence is very different from the past.
Both are in the level of marrow cleansing. Hong Jun never expected Su Qingqin to be able to catch up in martial arts practice.
It was just that this year, Su Qingqin was pregnant.
It was snowing, and the pregnant Su Qingqin was sitting on a recliner.
Hong Jun was massaging her shoulders.
Heavy snow was falling, covering the ground and turning it white.
Only when it approached five meters of the couple is melted away.
"Wife! Today I'm going to take that step forward and become a grandmaster! After you give birth, it will probably be your turn." He said with a smile.
"Oh! So you are going to be the third grandmaster in the clan!" She responded with a slight smile while stroking her belly.
Old Guy Tian and Old Master Ye are the first two grandmasters in the clan.
But the village is no longer what it used to be.
Just as the two of them were relaxing, a figure appeared kneeling in the snow with one knee on the ground.
"Madam! We have trouble! Those Qi Cultivators are here again! They brought monsters, and others even have ghosts!" The kneeling woman was one of the shadow guards under his wife.
"Oh! They dare to come to our territory! What do they want?" He asked as he looked beyond the territory of the Hong clan.
Numerous factions and even clans exist, each made up of Qi cultivators.
It was without a doubt they came for the products supplied from the Hong clan. They wanted to take over, but this wasn't the first time.
It was just that this was to be expected from the small clans and bandit groups within the vicinity of the Hong clan.
The strong clans and immortal sects didn't think much about what the Hong clan had because they were items for mortals.
They looked down on them, and this was the best outcome, as well as the effect Hong Jun wanted.
"Wife! Let me go and see who dares to make noise outside our territory!" He stood up, and his entire demeanor changed.
Nothing about the person that was giving his wife a nice massage could be seen from this person.
Taking a step forward, he vanished from the place.
The woman kneeling wasn't just shocked by the pressure he emitted after standing up, but also by his speed.
"So strong? So fast? I heard Madam is also terrifying!" She then cast a quick glance towards Su Qingqin, who was still relaxing on the recliner.
"What? Is there something else you want to report?" Su Qingqin asked with eyes half closed. Her mood was clearly irritable.
"What you asked us to investigate, we have found some information!" The shadow guard replied.
"Oh! Tell me!" Su Qingqin seemed interested.
"From the information we have gathered, some cultivators that face bottlenecks in their cultivation tend to let their mortal descendants start families, and when the time is right, harvest them to refine boundary-breaking pills." The shadow guard replied.
"Okay, you can retreat!" The shadow guard vanished and felt her master's voice had become slightly cold.
"Boundary-breaking pills, you say! Hehe! It seems that my husband already suspected my mother-in-law all this time. Indeed! Next time she steps on this territory, she can't leave." She had a cold look in her eyes.
The oppressive atmosphere around her spread out, making the entire area dim. It was as though the sun had disappeared in the sky for those near the residence.
But she soon regained her calm as she stroked her stomach.
"Son! Don't worry! Mom is not going to get angry again." This was not the first time she said this.
Three figures were standing at the edge of the Hong Territory, looking into the distance where a massive wolf about two meters in height and five meters in length.
"Old Master Ye, Old Gu Tian, I wonder how much improvement you have had in the grandmaster realm?" Hong Jun asked with a smile.
"Huh! What do you mean, Clan Master?" Old master Ye asked.
"Nothing! I just think with this two-rank-two monster meat, it shouldn't be a problem for the two of you to take a step forward in the grandmaster realm, right?" He asked as he felt these Qi cultivators were very generous.
"Okay! Make sure to end the battle as fast as possible." As he said this, his figure walked out of the territory covered by the Origin trees.
With every step, his aura became as heavy as a mountain. Clearly that breathing method he shared with Su Qingqin was not simple.
Their speed of cultivation was not slow as long as resources were present. When it came to insights, they were not left behind by these old fellows.
He had reached the limit of marrow cleansing but felt like something was missing. As long as he pushed himself further, he might be able to gain something.
He also had an interest in the blood core of the two monsters.
It was why he felt these guys were very good people.
Bringing resources to the doorstep.
Seeing the figure walking towards them, the group that was approaching the Hong clan finally had smiles on their faces.
"Who are you? Why are you approaching my territory?" He asked as he walked with his hands behind his back.
He didn't show the normal behavior of mortals when they saw cultivators. This action alone made them angry.
He was questioning them instead of groveling on the ground.
"How dare you talk to us like this! Kneel down and hand over the methods of refining clothes from your Hong clan, and we might let you work for us!" An old man with white hair and a smooth face shouted.
"Huh! What are you talking about? Are you crazy?" He took a step forward and vanished.
His presence couldn't be located by any of them. Only when the man that had shouted felt a hand holding his neck and raising him in the air did the others react.
"You want me to grovel at your feet? Are you worthy?" He slapped the dantian region of the old man, permanently disabling him.
"Aaaah!" The man let out a painful shriek.
