Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Chapter 33: Luo Chuan: Do you want to survive?_1

Clearly, the two house servants by Luo Chuan’s side were somewhat confused by his words.

With no other choice, Luo Chuan had to explain in a low voice.

“Do you see the refugees around us?”

“Do you think, if we gave this mother and daughter money, they would be able to leave here alive?”

“Even if we gave them food, do you think…”

“After we leave, how would those starving refugees treat this mother and daughter?”

“Moreover, with the chaos of the times upon us.”

“There are countless incidents like this one, we could help one, we could help two, but can we keep doing so in the future?”

Luo Chuan’s words clearly entered the ears of the two house servants beside him.

They also clearly reached the ears of the mother and daughter before him.

“In the end… are we still doomed to die?”

The mother, with a yellow and emaciated complexion, looking extremely wretched.

Quietly lowered her head, the last glimmer of hope in her eyes gradually dimming.

“Mother…”

“Let’s go!”

The somewhat childish voice of the little girl slowly rose above this section of the street.

The passersby, seeing there was no more excitement to be had, gradually dispersed.

The refugees, seeing the young master of the well-dressed, major family clan to be so cold-hearted.

They, too, could only shake their heads and silently walk away.

And just as the mother and daughter were gradually leaving, about to disappear from Luo Chuan’s sight,

Luo Chuan suddenly called out to the two of them.

“Where do you plan to go?”

He glanced at the ordinary-looking middle-aged woman, then shifted his gaze to the young girl whose face was full of childish innocence.

The mother was nothing special.

However, the young girl beside her… seemed somewhat different from ordinary people.

Luo Chuan was somewhat at a loss as to how to describe the girl.

Speaking abstractly, it would seem that the eyes of the girl possessed a maturity unlike her peers.

There also seemed to be a peculiar quality about her.

“If you don’t plan to help, why ask these questions?”

The girl’s mother turned her head back in surprise, while the girl herself seemed to have no intention of engaging with Luo Chuan.

“Do you want to survive?”

“I can help you now,” Luo Chuan said in a calm tone, observing the two in front of him.

“Yes, yes!” the mother nodded repeatedly, then pulled her daughter in front of Luo Chuan.

The girl seemed somewhat reluctant, but…

She turned her head, looked at her own mother,

And had no choice but to silently lower her head, which had almost never been lowered to others before.

A moment later, Luo Chuan took the mother and daughter back to the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

On the way back to the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

Luo Chuan asked for the names of the mother and daughter.

The elder one was named Liu Xiao.

The younger one was Liu Qingqing.

The daughter took her mother’s surname, a practice not common but not unheard of either.

Luo Chuan also inquired about their backgrounds.

Apparently, they came from a place in Huai Shui County outside called Dongyang County.

The girl’s father had once been an official in the government.

However, due to various reasons,

Whether he was slandered, framed, or simply fell out of favor with the higher-ups of the Da Feng Dynasty,

In the end, he was beheaded.

After that, they drifted all the way here.

Of course, regarding the tale of the mother and daughter’s past, Luo Chuan did not entirely believe it.

He took it at most as a story, casually listened to it, that’s all.

In these chaotic times, anyone who easily believed others’ words was truly a fool.

“From now on, you two will be servants of my Luo Family.”

“Your lives will be controlled by my Luo Family.”

“Any objections?”

After entering the Luo Family Ancestral Land, Luo Chuan glanced at the mother and daughter following behind and said in a calm voice.

Mother Liu Xiao naturally nodded her head happily.

As for Liu Qingqing…

A struggle flashed in her eyes.

However, it seems that she also knows her current situation, so she did not say anything particularly annoying.

“Young Master, you have returned…”

At the main entrance of the Luo Family Ancestral Land.

An elder with a head full of white hair, slightly stooped in stature.

His wrinkled face was adorned with a benevolent smile.

Seeing Luo Chuan return, followed by a mother and daughter, he silently walked out.

The elder’s name was Luo Dong, the old steward who oversaw everything for the Luo Family.

He had occupied the position of the family’s steward for a good seventy to eighty years.

“Grandpa Dong…”

Looking at the old steward in front of him, his face full of smiles, the steward who had watched him grow up, how could Luo Chuan not understand the old man’s thoughts?

“These two, I picked up outside.”

“There’s no need for care, you handle it as you see fit.”

“If that’s the case, this old servant understands…”

After conversing with the old steward.

Luo Chuan silently made his way toward the direction of the Luo Family’s Library Pavilion.

The collapse of the Da Feng Dynasty and the true arrival of chaotic times were not far off.

Not to mention elsewhere, just within Huai Shui County.

In the past day or so, he heard that several more groups of refugees who could not survive, under the encouragement of some people with ulterior motives.

Chose to rise up in rebellion, aiming to seize the county town.

However, the outcome was predictable.

Although the Da Feng Dynasty was collapsing, even this sieve-like Da Feng Dynasty was not something the ordinary people without any backing could overthrow.

“To cope with the approaching turmoil, I need to gather more knowledge in various aspects.”

“Opportunities always favor the prepared.”

“Otherwise, if I just waste time and wait idly for chaos to descend.”

“How could my Luo Family seize this opportunity to rise with the wind?”

In the second-floor area of the Library Pavilion.

Luo Chuan was walking while silently contemplating in his heart.

Just as he was about to pick up a book titled Dragon Slaying Art to peruse.

A voice tinged with a hint of mockery resounded by his ear.

“Eh, isn’t this my brother Chuan?”

“I heard you brought a mother and daughter back with you?”

“I also heard that the younger one is meant to be your child bride?”

“Are these rumors true?”

Luo An’s son, Luo Yang, who was holding a book titled Alchemy Quick Success Method.

Was now approaching Luo Chuan with a smile on his face.

“Are you sure these are just rumors, and not what you want to ask yourself?”

Luo Chuan glanced at Luo Yang beside him and directly pierced through his pretense.

“This, this…” Luo Yang reached out and touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Ah, forget it.”

“I’ll just ask directly, what did you bring that mother and daughter back for?”

“Don’t tell me you are kind-hearted, unable to bear seeing others suffer!”

“I know very well what kind of person you are, my brother!”

“Alright then!” Luo Chuan sighed softly, put down the book in his hand, and replied in a low voice to his elder brother Luo Yang, “I just feel that the one called Liu Qingqing is somewhat special.”

“Special?” Luo Yang’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, a puzzled expression on his face.

“In her eyes, there is a maturity unlike her peers, and on her…”

“There seems to be a strange aura as well.”

Luo Yang joked: “A strange aura? Are you sure the scent you picked up wasn’t just a woman’s scent?”

Luo Chuan chose not to respond to Luo Yang’s comment.

“Since you’ve said that, let’s leave it at that.”

“But, since you brought that mother and daughter back, remember to take care of them properly.”

“Don’t end up neglecting them.”

After finishing these words, Luo Yang turned around and waved his hand at him.

After a recent period of study, Luo Yang felt he had at least grasped the basics of alchemy.

Next… it was time for him to focus his efforts on researching elixirs like the Yang-strengthening Elixir.

It’s worth mentioning here.

It wasn’t that Luo Yang had health problems requiring Yang-strengthening Elixirs.

It was rather because elixirs of this kind often had exorbitant profits, so high that they were beyond what most could even imagine.

Therefore, this was why Luo Yang had been intent on concocting Yang-strengthening Elixirs, aiming to achieve the ultimate goal of financial freedom.
