He seems to be insinuating something!

Luo Chen shook his head, he was not obsessed with pill refinement.

He recognized early on that pill refining was just a means to accumulate resources for cultivation.

If not, he wouldn’t have recently set aside the Jade Marrow Pill and focused on refining the Tongyou Pill.

Because the Tongyou Pill can indeed increase his strength.

It’s just that finding joy in the process can always alleviate some fatigue.

Duan Feng nodded, knowing that Luo Chen was smarter than him and saw things more clearly.

He mocked, “My mother died, and in my anger, I dueled Nangong Qin at the Dao Debate Platform.”

“I won that battle.”

“After coming down, I met him once and we had a chat.”

“He told me that the marriage alliance was just a means, if it were not him, any member of the Nangong Family would have been an option.”

“On the other hand, it was only my mother from our Duan Family.”

Luo Chen looked surprised, “How so?”

After his surprise, Luo Chen figured out the logic before Duan Feng had time to explain.

“Duan Rui?”

“Correct!”

Duan Feng took a deep breath, “Duan Rui only failed in his attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment. After recovering from his injuries, he can definitely attempt it again.”

“So, he still remains the apple of that old dog’s eye.”

“At that time, the only person in Duan Family who could pose a threat to him was me, who was making rapid progress in cultivation.”

“He couldn’t touch me, so he put pressure on my mother. As long as my mother got married, I would truly be isolated within the clan.”

Luo Chen looked at Duan Feng with a complex expression on his face.

The inside story was shockingly filthy.

It seems that within the Immortal Cultivation Clans, there was no true unity or harmony!

“Our marriage alliance failed, I rebelled against Duan family, and that old dog almost put all his hopes on Duan Rui.”

“He even spared no expense to purchase another Foundation Establishment

Pill at the auction for him.”

Auction?

The Foundation Establishment Pill!

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

At the Yu Ding Auction, Mi Shuhua had stayed out of it and let the four factions divide the Foundation Establishment Pills.

Excluding Wang Haichao, Li Family, and Kang Family from Taishan District, the only one left should be Duan Qiankun.

With the second Foundation Establishment Pill, wouldn’t Duan Rui…

“He failed again, didn’t he?” Luo Chen asked.

It’s not an unfounded guess, because up to this point, the Duan Family still hadn’t given birth to a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

“Hahaha…”

Duan Feng laughed heartily, “Yes, my foolish younger brother, he failed again, haha!”

“Water and fire are incompatible, cultivating two paths, while enhancing fighting strength, makes breaking through realms exceptionally difficult.”

“It’s good that he failed!”

“If he had succeeded, how could I take my revenge!”

Dual Spirit Roots is definitely a talent bestowed by heaven.

It comes just after the Heavenly Spirit Root, and is similar to some people with special physiques.

However, it also depends on which two spirit roots one has.

Like the water and fire spirit roots which counteract each other, not only do they not speed up cultivation, they often become a drag.

The Duan Family had an Ice-Fire Spirit Spring and Duan Qiankun managed to find a dual-path cultivation technique to pair with it.

Otherwise, Duan Rui would have likely been unable to reach Qi Refinement Finalization in his lifetime.

Even though he had reached Finalization, the difficulty of breaking through realms was much greater than that of other Finalization cultivators who only cultivated a single path.

Two Foundation Establishment Pills went down without success.

Based on the time frame, he’s probably still in healing now!

The backlash from failing to break through to the Foundation Establishment is not as easy as it seems.

One candidate Luo Chen was familiar with was his former neighbor Fu Xiuxiu.

She was able to slowly recover with the help of her Dao Companion Cultivator and her own unique physique.

Even with Duan Qjankun’s assistance, Duan Rui has definitely been having a tough time.

If Duan Rui was having a tough time, then Duan Qiankun himself was also struggling to get by.

Doesn’t that mean that the Duan Family is also having a hard time!

“No wonder they have been sending people to find you lately!”

Luo Chen sighed.

Cultivating within a family also means going through so much intrigue, it’s not any easier than when he was a rogue cultivator.

Duan Feng nodded, “They will naturally come looking for me, after all, I have accomplished quite a lot during the past year.”

He won one and lost one against Nangong Qin on the Dao Debate Platform, consistently ranking in the top three.

He held a critical role in the Luo Tian Creed and was trusted by Luo Chen.

In the battle against the Fu Family, he fought alone against the Fu family’s head, Fu Zhang, during the early stages.

The power that Duan Feng demonstrated was far beyond the weak orphan he had been.

“They have been contacting me frequently, not only making many promises but also giving some advantages in advance.”

“Humph, I won’t hide it from you, I took everything they offered!”

“Cultivation Pills, Duan Family’s secret techniques for nurturing Spirit Power, etc.”

“It’s not like I’m being ungrateful, it’s just that those are rightfully mine!”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, “So, you’re saying you have no intention of returning to the Duan family?”

Duan Feng looked at Luo Chen speechlessly, “I knew it, you’re here today because you’re worried about this.”

“Hehheh…”

Luo Chen laughed openly, not concealing his intentions.

It is permissible to deceive a gentleman on fair grounds.

Speaking openly about this kind of thing won’t affect anything.

Duan Feng shook his head, “I can’t possibly return.”

“Even if I were to return, it would be to claim lives!”

Inside the room, the fire soared, making the room warm.

Luo Chen loosened his collar and advised, “Duan Qiankun has a short life span, he only has a few years left, why should you feel rushed?”

Isn’t it good enough to wait for his natural death?

At that time, you can dance on his grave, it would still be a fitting display.

“No, you don’t understand. I can’t forget how my mother took her own life and died tragically at home.”

Speaking of his mother, Duan Feng was practically gritting his teeth.

He was trembling uncontrollably, “I have to kill him, not let him die peacefully.”

“He should pay with his life for the death of my father, the death of my mother, and the unfair treatment my family has borne over the years.”

“I am willing to do whatever it takes to grind his bones and scatter them at the wind!”

Every word, every sentence was filled with blood and tears.

Luo Chen sighed, knowing he couldn’t dissuade him.

But how could Duan Feng, who was only at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, compete with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

He still had a long way to go to reach Finalization.

Suddenly, Luo Chen recalled a scene in his memory.

He instinctively wanted to speak up, but seeing the predatory look in Duan Feng’s eyes, he held himself back.

I can’t say it!

If I were to tell him, it could harm Duan Feng!
