Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297: Decision
The actions of the mother and her four children are identical. Each person holds a book, while the two younger ones sleep soundly.
Only Tan Shaoting keeps an eye on the surroundings, though everyone should be watching them.
Everyone thinks they’ve obtained a spiritual treasure. Although their team comprises only five cultivators, they include two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Looking at their faces, they seem to be a family, so even if there are suspicions, no one wants to be the first to cause trouble. The preliminary selection has just begun five days ago, with ten days remaining. There’s still time to act later.
Su Yuanyuan listens to their thoughts and scoffs, "Tan Shaoting, they’re planning to deal with us later."
"I’ll be careful." After all, the safety of his wife and children is his responsibility. He cannot afford to be careless.
Su Yuanyuan thinks their family might be accident-prone.
Will they ever get a moment’s peace?
Just now, that female cultivator descended the mountain. She headed directly towards their family.
"Fellow cultivator. I didn’t discover anything either. Can you describe what you saw?"
She straightforwardly asks Tan Shaoting.
Suddenly, Tan Shaoting releases a pressure, causing the young lady to totter, as a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator approaches.
The divine sense of Tan Shaoting is at the late-stage Golden Core level, and indeed this person couldn’t withstand it, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Seeing the desired effect achieved, Tan Shaoting releases the pressure, not even sparing them a glance, let alone speaking.
The person knows how to read the situation. "Junior sister, let’s leave."
Li Xiaotong was startled too, but said nothing. Their group moved away but stopped to rest nearby.
Zhao Hu transmits to Li Xiaotong, "Junior sister, I’m no match for this person."
"I see that. Could it be that they truly haven’t obtained anything?"
Zhao Hu, feeling helpless, decides to speak honestly. "Junior sister, I don’t think so. We just checked, and there are no traces at all. Moreover, if there were a spiritual treasure, its aura wouldn’t disappear so quickly."
Li Xiaotong nods, although she refuses to give up.
Zhao Hu complains inwardly, wondering what the Sect Leader is thinking by nurturing such an outstanding Spirit Root junior sister to become like this?
Who knows if she’s really naive? How does she have no understanding of social norms? Oh well, it has nothing to do with him, as long as he ensures her safety this time. As for qualifications, that’s not his concern.
He believes in fate. Besides, the Sect Leader will definitely find a way.
Some people witnessed Tan Shaoting’s actions earlier and know that he’s not to be trifled with. Some teams of cultivators have already left.
If it weren’t for the urgency to gather information, Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t tolerate staying here; it’s too annoying.
The two younger ones wake up, she accompanies them to play.
Such an environment is unfamiliar to the two younger ones, who curiously observe their surroundings.
"At what age can they start cultivating?"
"I think they should start cultivating after turning five; starting too early isn’t good."
Su Yuanyuan nods, "Do you have any basic knowledge? I’ll teach them."
Tan Shaoting shakes his head, "We’ll discuss it once we leave here."
Tan Shaoting releases a Third-tier Array Plate to block cultivators’ attention, allowing the two young ones to move freely.
Now the family can relax a bit. Su Yuanyuan regrets not gaining more information, but it’s not urgent, right?
"Let’s leave here soon, we might leave ahead of schedule. If not, we’ll find a spot near the entrance and wait."
Tan Shaoting has no objections, he packs up the Array Plate and the family leaves.
Following Su Yuanyuan’s lead, they arrive at the entrance at night, where someone is guarding.
"Wait here; I’ll go ask."
The guard shakes his head, "It’s not possible to leave now. It must be at the designated time to prevent spiritual treasures from being taken away."
Tan Shaoting grumbles inwardly, even if it’s a spiritual treasure, nobody would want to lose their secret realm quota, right?
But since they can’t leave, they’ll wait nearby.
The guard is also a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Watching Tan Shaoting set up an array close by, he wonders if they really obtained a spiritual treasure. It shouldn’t be possible; he knows that spiritual treasures have imprints and can be sensed, yet he feels nothing.
The seven-member family rests and learns within the array. Su Yuanyuan lacks much common knowledge, while the father and children explain to her, ensuring they don’t seem too out of place.
The two younger ones sit on their father’s lap, listening as they can understand.
"With ten days remaining, let’s organize our storage bags and then study individually."
Su Yuanyuan brings out talismans she drew, sharing them with her four children. They only have low-grade spirit stones, and not many. Each gets two hundred, with slightly more for Tan Shaoting. Unsure if there are mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones, they leave them out.
Once outside, even low-grade spirit stones suffice.
There’s nothing extra, fearing inspection of storage bags upon leaving.
Tan Shaoting also distributes beast blood, beast bones, and spiritual artifacts left in his space to his family.
No books are brought out, fearing their anomaly might be exposed, leaving no explanation.
"Do you think they’ll discover our space?"
Tan Shaoting shakes his head, "They won’t discover it. Don’t worry."
Though uninterested inside, discussions about the family continue.
Everyone believes they’ve obtained something.
Teams finding spiritual treasures first avoid attack, unable to transmit sound or alert elder relatives.
Not daring to stay here, they rush to the entrance carrying spiritual treasures, guarded there.
The first team to find spiritual treasures escapes before others react, but the second is less fortunate, getting intercepted.
In battles, the initial twenty-person team dwindles to five, losing the spiritual treasure.
Chaos ensues with desperate skirmishes. Relationships form alliances, turning the qualification contest into robbery.
The fast wealth avenue seduces them.
No matter what they’re doing, Su Yuanyuan’s family awaits time in the array, anxious to leave this troublesome place.
A recently arrived team sets their Array Plate near Tan Shaoting’s. With only two losses remaining, they’re relieved their Sect’s qualification is secure.
Su Yuanyuan knows they’re Xuantian Sect disciples, led by a rare wise person.
Unexpectedly, Medicine Sect’s arriving team is led by a disciple with bursting combat power.
