Chapter 1318 2 Roads

If the four major families don't do as they guessed, then they will be in trouble.

Fortunately, they guessed correctly. The four major families did not take any action at all. It was obvious that they were investigating Lu Fan's background.

Therefore, the Liu family patriarch and Liu Wei began to seize the time to bring people to take over and organize the industries of the five major families in the city.

Because the five major families have too many industries in the city, the Liu family alone cannot take over with their own staff.

Therefore, after discussing with Liu Wei, the Liu family patriarch decided to sell the unnecessary industries of the five major families to several other families.

As for other small families, they would naturally not refuse the industries offered by the Liu family, and they all spent high prices to purchase them.

The current Liu family looks down on these redundant industries, but for small families, these industries are like treasure pots that can bring them endless profits.

However, everything that happened in Tianhe City had nothing to do with Lu Fan. He didn't know anything about it at all.

Even if he knew about this, he wouldn't care at all.

After all, it is impossible for him to stay in Tianhe City and become the overlord. His goal is to reach the top, the pinnacle of the road of cultivation.

That was his real goal.

All he did was to collect resources, exchange them for points, and improve his cultivation.

This time, Lu Fan was not in a hurry to improve his cultivation, but kept absorbing the energy of the immortal crystals in the mine...

After all, it takes more time to improve your cultivation while absorbing the energy of immortal crystals.

But I don't have that much time to waste right now.

After all, the four top families in Tianhe City are eyeing them covetously.

Since I have promised to temporarily protect the Liu family, I naturally have to do what I say.

If I continue to retreat here and break through, the Liu family might really be destroyed by the top four families.

And he was also eyeing the treasure houses of the four major families.

It would be fine if the four top families were more sensible and did not continue to think of taking action against the Liu family.

I can only let them go and go to other places to look for resources.

But if the four top families wanted revenge, he wouldn't mind completely wiping out the four top families, letting the Liu family dominate Tianhe City, and he could also get the treasure house of the four major families.

After all, the treasure houses of these four top families are definitely much stronger than the treasure houses of the five families that they destroyed.

Anyway, for me now, the more resources the better.

He would not take the initiative to plunder a certain force's treasure house, but if a certain force provoked and offended him, he would definitely not show mercy.

To put it simply, you must never give yourself an excuse to take action against them. Once you have an excuse, you can feel at ease taking action against them.

It was precisely because Lu Fan did not use his points to buy pills to improve his cultivation, but only continued to refine the energy of the immortal crystals, that the speed of refining increased a lot.

Especially after Lu Fan reached the peak of the ninth level of Xuanxianxian, the speed of activating the system's refining and recycling increased by more than dozens of times compared to before.

Originally, Lu Fan thought that it would take two or three months to absorb, refine and recover the energy contained in all the fairy crystals in this vein.

But he never expected that it would only take him one month to absorb all the energy contained in the fairy crystals in this vein.

After the last bit of immortal crystal energy was recovered by the system, the system prompt sounded in Lu Fan's mind.

[Ding, Immortal Crystal Energy Recovery Completed, Congratulations to the Host for Obtaining 900 Billion Points. ]

Listening to the system prompt sounding in his mind, Lu Fan showed a smile on his face, but also a little helpless.

Because the points obtained from recovering all the fairy crystal energy from this vein were less than he expected.

But after thinking about it, he understood the reason.

That is, the energy of the fairy crystal is not as good as the energy of the five elements of black gold that he had refined before.

Therefore, the points obtained after refining and recovering the energy of the two veins differ by more than 100 billion points.

However, being able to gain so many points was already very good, and Lu Fan didn't care too much about it.

It's all free anyway, so just take whatever points you have, it's better than having nothing at all.

However, this time the speed of refining and recycling was much faster than he expected.

He originally thought it would take two or three months to refine it, but he didn't expect it to only take one month.

Since there is enough time reserved, I can use this time to improve my cultivation.

After all, there are clearly Taiyi Golden Immortal powerhouses among the four top families.

However, his current cultivation level was only at the ninth level of the Xuanxian realm.

Although he could compete with Taiyi Jinxian and even kill him by relying on his ninth-level cultivation and many other means.

But after all, he is not a true Taiyi Golden Immortal.

If the Taiyi Golden Immortal masters of the four major families also hold some incredible trump cards, then it would be a bit troublesome for me to deal with them.

So just in case, it would be better to improve your cultivation.

Anyway, the speed of absorbing, refining and recovering mineral energy is faster than I imagined, so time for improving my cultivation can still be saved.

After all, I don’t need to stay in seclusion for a long time.

All you need to do is buy pills in the system mall and refine them.

After making up his mind, Lu Fan didn't want to waste time, so he opened the system mall without hesitation and found the Xianyuan Pill he had been refining.

Xianyuan Pills are suitable for use in all realms of the fairy world, so there is no need to select other new pills.

Although other elixirs were more effective, they were also more expensive. All in all, it was still better to buy the Xian Yuan Pill.

[Ding, one hundred Immortal Yuan Pills were purchased successfully, costing one trillion points, which have been automatically deducted.]

Ignoring the system prompt sounding in his mind, Lu Fan directly took out all one hundred Immortal Yuan Pills and placed them in front of him.

One hundred Xianyuan Pills may sound like a lot, but in reality they are just ten jade bottles.

There is only this little bit in front of us, it’s not much at all.

Lu Fan didn't care about anything else. He picked up a jade bottle, opened it, swallowed the ten immortal pills inside and began to refine them.

Just when Lu Fan was frantically refining the Xianyuan Pill to improve his cultivation.

The Liu family, which had sorted out the five major family businesses in Tianhe City, also encountered trouble.

At the beginning, the Liu family did not encounter any troubles and smoothly gathered all the industries of the five major families into their own hands.

They kept the properties they needed and sold the properties they didn't need to other small and medium-sized families in the city.

But as they stabilized, the top four families in the city began to take action.

The four top families first sent someone to pass a message to the Liu family, saying that they wanted to invite Lu Fan to a banquet.

Right now Lu Fan was in seclusion at the mine and was not in the city at all, so Liu Wei could only tell the four major families about this situation.

Although he has Lu Fan as his backer, Liu Wei does not dare to rashly offend the four top families.

Because he knew clearly that Lu Fan could not stay here forever, nor could he always be the supporter of their Liu family.

So he didn't dare to offend the top four families.

If they offend the top four families, they will be in trouble after Lu Fan leaves.

That's why he sent someone to explain the situation to the four major families and declined the invitation on behalf of Lu Fan.

Because they knew that Lu Fan didn't like such an invitation at all, and it was even more impossible for him to attend the banquet.

To put it bluntly, in Lu Fan's eyes, the four top families are not even worth mentioning.

If the ancestors of the four top families came to invite Lu Fan personally, perhaps Lu Fan would give them face.

But the four major families only sent people to report and pass on the message, and it was obvious that they did not care too much about Lu Fan.

So Liu Wei didn't dare to agree on behalf of Lu Fan.

If he agreed to attend the banquet on behalf of Lu Fan, then their Liu family would have completely offended Lu Fan.

He didn't want to offend the four top families, but he didn't want to offend Lu Fan even more, so he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

He thought that after he declined the invitation from the four major families on behalf of Lu Fan, the four major families would give up the invitation.

But he never expected that not long after he declined the offer from the four major families on behalf of Lu Fanfan.

The four major families sent someone to convey the message again that Lu Fan must be allowed to attend the banquet, otherwise it would be a lack of face for them.

And this time, the four major families made harsh words to Liu Wei.

If Lu Fan doesn't attend the banquet, then the Liu family will be destroyed again.

There will definitely be no room for the Liu family in Tianhe City.

Faced with such threats, Liu Wei was extremely angry, but helpless.

Because Lu Fan may not be afraid of the four major families, but the Liu family cannot but be afraid.

After all, Lu Fan can leave Tianhe City anytime and anywhere, but their Liu family cannot leave.

This is their base. If they leave Tianhe City, they will have nowhere to stay.

But Liu Wei didn't dare to invite Lu Fan.

Because he knew clearly that Lu Fan was a person who would not respond to tough measures but would respond softly.

Moreover, Lu Fan didn’t think too highly of the Liu family.

The reason why he agreed to avenge the Liu family was actually because he was going for that mineral vein and the treasure house of the five major families.

If it weren't for the treasure troves of the five major families and that top-quality mineral vein, Lu Fan would never have been able to help them get revenge.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for Lu Fan to bow to the four major families for the sake of their Liu family.

If he really dared to say such words, he believed that Lu Fan would take action against their Liu family without hesitation.

By then, there will be no need for the four major families to take action and the Liu family will be completely destroyed.

So there are only two paths before them now...
