Clan Cultivation: Starting with Building an Island Immortal City

“Brother Long Shi, you are mistaken! Since our two clans have sworn a blood oath and established the ‘Three Mutual Principles,’ we are brothers connected by Bloodline! Among brothers, mutual exchange and assistance are our duty. How can there be talk of a generous gift? Could it be that Brother Long Shi finds my Li Family’s supplies crude and unpresentable?”

He deliberately put on a stern face, but his eyes held a smile.

Clan Chief Dragon Stone was speechless by his words, a warm current flowing in his heart. He knew that this brother was sincerely planning for the long-term benefit of the Angry Dragon Clan, unwilling to let his Clan members be constrained by basic necessities.

He took a deep breath, no longer being overly polite, and nodded heavily:

“Good! Since we are brothers, I, your Elder brother, will shamelessly accept! In the future, all that the Angry Dragon Clan possesses will also be the treasury of the Li Family!”

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything understood without words.

Li Yinglong’s gaze turned to Lin Xiaowan, who was beside him, her eyes slightly red and trying to suppress her parting sorrow. His tone became exceptionally gentle:

“Little Wan.”

“Grandpa Clan Chief!”

Lin Xiaowan quickly stepped forward, her voice tinged with a sob.

Li Yinglong looked at her, his eyes full of anticipation and affection:

“Stay in the Angry Dragon Stockade and study diligently under Elder Long Yun, the medicinal priestess. The Dao of spiritual plants and medicine concerns the future Foundation of our Family, so do not be negligent. In one year, I will also ask Brother Long Shi to send intelligent young disciples from the Clan to return to Linhai City with you, to observe and exchange ideas at my Li Family.”

“One year is neither long nor short. For this temporary farewell today, Grandpa only has one thing to say: strive hard, live up to your original heart, and let other things be. There is no need to force them!”

Clan Chief Dragon Stone immediately interjected:

“Brother Li, rest assured! Little Wan is intelligent and kind-hearted. Elder Long Yun is very fond of her and will certainly teach her everything! In one year, I will surely select the most promising young disciples from our Clan to visit your esteemed residence with Little Wan. I hope Brother Li will not hesitate to guide them!”

The two Clan Chiefs thus decided on the major policy of future mutual study and exchange among their disciples.

Aya also shook Lin Xiaowan’s arm, cheerfully assuring:

“Grandpa Li, you can rest assured! Younger Sister Xiaowan is my good sister now. In the stronghold, if anyone dares to bully her, I’ll be the first to object! I guarantee that in one year, I’ll return a chubby, well-learned Younger Sister Xiaowan to you!”

Everyone laughed at her words, and the sadness of departure was somewhat diluted.

Lin Xiaowan nodded vigorously, tears in her eyes and a smile on her face:

“Grandpa Clan Chief, Little Wan will work hard and definitely live up to your expectations!”

Li Yinglong nodded with satisfaction, then looked around at everyone, cupping his hands in a circle:

“Everyone, a journey of a thousand li ends with a farewell. May the green mountains remain and the green waters flow, we shall meet again!”

“We shall meet again!”

Clan Chief Dragon Stone and everyone else returned the salute in unison.

Li Yinglong said no more, nodded slightly to the four guards, turned, and stepped onto the dragon boat with steady strides.

At Captain Long Tao’s command, two warriors untied the ropes, and the other two warriors put their oars into the water, gently pushing off the bank, and the dragon boat glided downstream into the center of the river.

“Woo-aoh~”

Just as the sails were fully unfurled, as if to add a touch of mountain wilderness grandeur to this important farewell, several adult Mountain Dragon Lizards, who had been waiting on the bank, suddenly raised their heads and collectively let out a deep, powerful roar that echoed through the river valley!

The roar was filled with an ancient aura, both a send-off and a declaration of the Angry Dragon Clan’s attention!

Wind filled the sails!

The dragon boat, like an arrow released from a bow, under the perfectly skilled control of the four Angry Dragon warriors, used the strong east wind and the surging river current to suddenly break free from the bank’s restraint and depart!
