When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 60
The three old men in the room looked at him.

"Are you Li Fan, a descendant of Elder Li?" asked an old man with gray eyebrows in the room.

"Exactly." Li Fan responded.

"Well, I am Xu Cunying, the second elder of the Xu family. I called you here to tell you bad news."

"My guest elder Li Yuan of the Xu family died on the battlefield outside the territory."

The second elder, Xu Cunying, has gray hair, slightly dark skin, and is a bit thin, but his eyes are sparkling.

When Li Fan heard this, even though he was prepared, he was still shocked!
"Uncle...he is dead?"

Li Fan couldn't help but think of many things for a moment.

His great-uncle Li Yuan had a somewhat eccentric personality and was not very close to Li Fan.

But it was he who brought Li Fan into the world of immortality and taught him the techniques.

Although my uncle did not speak much and was not enthusiastic, Li Fan was able to embark on the path of cultivating immortals and achieve his current level of cultivation because of Li Yuan's protection.

In Li Fan's heart, he respected and was grateful to this great uncle.

However, this great-uncle who gave Li Fan such protection has fallen?

Li Fan's heart couldn't help but sink.

Xu Cunying first looked at Li Fan's expression, paused for a moment, and said, "Li Fan, my uncle went to the battlefield outside the territory. He had already prepared for this day, so there is no need to be too sad."

"It's just that Wangxian Island was leased to your uncle by the Xu family. Now that he has died, our Xu family is afraid that we will take it back on the shore of Wangxian Island."

"Li Fan, what do you say about this?"

Li Fan frowned.

Uncle Li Fan originally signed a contract with the Xu family, which stipulated that Wangxian Island would be leased to Li Yuan for 30 years.

The lease term of Wangxian Island is now only 22 years, and there are still eight years left.

According to the contract, Li Fan is the person who inherits Li Yuan's orthodoxy.

Li Yuan died, and Li Fan should inherit Wangxian Island.

At least they can still enjoy the lease rights for more than eight years, and the Xu family cannot interfere.

Just after Li Yuan died on the battlefield outside the territory, Xu Cunying, the second elder of the Xu family, became aggressive and wanted Li Fan to give up Wangxian Island.

It is said that tea cools down when people leave, but this tea gets cold too quickly.

"What, Li Fan, you don't want to?" Seeing Li Fan's silence, Xu Cunying said displeasedly, and his voice became louder.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

"Eh! Second brother, I don't think it's appropriate to handle this matter like this!" Sixth Elder Xu Jie said.

"Oh? Why?" Xu Cunying asked.

"It's true that Li Yuan voluntarily went to the battlefield outside the territory, but after all, he also shouldered the obligations on behalf of my Xu family. If we take back Wangxian Island as soon as we learn about his death, what will the other people who are attached to our Xu family think of us?" Xu Jie said.

Xu Cunying looked at Xu Jie for a while and asked, "Lao Liu, what do you plan to do with it?"

Xu Jie said: "I think it's better to let Li Fan take charge of Wangxian Island, at least until the lease term comes."

"First of all, this will not affect the output of Wangxian Island's spiritual rice. Secondly, it can also gather the hearts of some guests. Especially now that the Xiang family is forcing us to be so urgent, the support from the guests is also very important."

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he first looked at Xu Cunying, then turned to look at the clan leader Xu Taichu, and asked: "Brother, what do you think?"

Xu Taichu was tall, with heavy eyebrows and a lion's nose and cheeks.

After looking at Xu Jie for a moment, he said, "What Lao Liu said makes sense."

"These are extraordinary times and we cannot shake people's hearts."

"Alas!" After hearing this, Xu Cunying sighed and did not continue speaking.

Xu Taichu looked at Xu Jie and said, "Wangxian Island, you take charge first."

"I heard that you grow good elixirs?"

Li Fan said: "I have some insights."

Xu Taichu said: "These are troubled times. The Xu family needs to allocate resources, and high-quality elixirs and elixirs are in short supply."

"Wangxian Island, you continue to be in charge, pay the rent annually, and your elixir, our Xu family will purchase and sell it. In the future, you don't have to deal with the medicine store, just sell it to the Xu family." Li Fan's eyes flashed. There was a hint of coldness.

"These people in the Xu family are also very capable. My uncle has just passed away and will take back Wangxian Island."

"Regardless of whether these Xu family elders have a tacit understanding or not, in fact they are pulling one another to sing the praises and sing the bad. The leasehold rights of Wangxian Island that I should have inherited have become a gift, and they have also deprived me of the freedom to sell high-quality elixirs. The power to force me to trade with the Xu family."

"This is because my revealed strength level is too low, but I can still earn thousands of spiritual stones a year. Without the protection of my uncle, I have become fat. If I don't eat, it will be free!"

If Li Fan said there was no emotion in his heart, it would be a lie.

The Xu family's indifference made Li Fan feel cold.

"It's okay not to wait for the Xu family!" Li Fan had already made up his mind.

He already has a decision.

"Li Fan, what, you don't want to?" Xu Cunying asked with a slightly cold voice.

Li Fan was silent.

He had already decided to leave, so there was no need to go ahead and give Xu Cunying an excuse at this time.

There is no need to suffer the immediate loss.

Li Fan seemed to have regained his composure and said: "It's just that this year's spiritual rice and elixir have not reached maturity yet."

"You don't have to worry. When the time comes, the Xu family will naturally go to Wangxian Island to purchase your medicinal materials." Xu Cunying said.

Li Fan stopped talking.

"Okay, you go back." Xu Cunying said.

Li Fan nodded and exited the meeting hall.

Xu Jie glanced at Li Fan and said, "I am in charge of Lingzhi Hall, and I have some things to explain to him."

"Go." Xu Taichu waved.

Xu Jie turned around and walked out of the meeting hall.

"Li Fan, wait a moment!" Xu Jie shouted.

Li Fan stopped and looked back.

Xu Jie walked over and said, "We all know that this day will come about your uncle's matter, so don't be too sad."

"As for Wangxian Island, I still can't grasp your level of strength."

"I will earn it for you for eight years. If you practice hard during these eight years, there is still hope that you can reach the tenth level of Qi training. Then I will help you earn more, and maybe you can become the owner of Wangxian Island. .”

"It's just," Xu Jie suddenly switched to voice transmission.

"I've talked to you before. I'll take over the [-]% lease of Wangxian Island on your behalf. If I were stronger, I would have more say and help you keep Wangxian Island."

"The past few years are a critical period in my practice, and I need a lot of resources. In this way, I will get [-]% for renting Wangxian Island, but I will help you earn some, and I will give you an extra [-]% when the Xu family collects medicinal materials. This is worthy of you, what do you think?"

When Li Fan heard this, his heart became even colder.

"Then I would like to thank the Sixth Elder for his concern." Li Fan said.

"Haha, your uncle and I are old friends, so I can only help you so much. And at your current level of strength, it may not be a good thing to get so many spirit stones. You will know in the future that I am doing it for your own good." Xu Jie said.

Li Fan's face was expressionless.

"Okay, you go back. It's best to think about this matter. It's the same everywhere in the world. What level of power and financial status you have depends on your strength and background. Don't get into trouble." Xu Jie said. .

Li Fan took a deep look at Xu Jie and said, "Then thank you Sixth Elder for teaching me this lesson."

"Haha." Xu Jie smiled.

Li Fan turned around and left this place.

There was a chill in his heart.

"Haha... I was originally thinking about whether it would be unethical to go to Golden Leaf Island to touch their chalcedony since I have some incestuous relationship with the Xu family."

"It seems that I think too much."

"I remember the Xu family's eating habits!" Li Fan thought to himself.
