Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 177 Su Cheng Reencounters the Rise of a New Family

Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er walked out of the secluded cultivation chamber hand in hand. The Qingfeng Sect was still peaceful, but their auras were completely different. After two years of secluded cultivation, spiritual energy flowed around Zhang Peng, and he had an aura that could control the power of heaven and earth; Lin Wan'er, on the other hand, had an ethereal temperament, and her wood-type spiritual energy made every move she made full of vitality.

The two returned to their lodgings, packed their bags, and prepared to put their plan into action—to establish a cultivation family. At this moment, Xia Lijuan also arrived beside them. Xia Lijuan came from humble beginnings, but possessed a resilient heart. During her time at the Qingfeng Sect, she diligently cultivated, wholeheartedly following Zhang Peng, hoping to find her own place on the path of cultivation.

The three bid farewell to Elder Xuanfeng and left the Qingfeng Sect. Along the way, the mountains and rivers were magnificent, the scenery picturesque, but they had no time to appreciate it, their only thought being to reach Su City. They had heard that Su City was prosperous, a gathering place for cultivators, and an ideal place to establish a clan.

As they stepped into Suzhou, a bustling scene greeted them. The streets were teeming with traffic, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and chatting mingled together. The shops lining the streets were dazzling, some selling spiritual herbs and elixirs, others crafting magical artifacts and weapons, and still others teaching cultivation techniques.

As Zhang Peng looked around, a surprised voice suddenly rang out: "Young Master Zhang, it really is you!" Zhang Peng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a light purple dress walking quickly towards him. It was Su Yao, the daughter of the city lord of Su City. Su Yao had a beautiful face and bright eyes, which were now filled with surprise and shyness.

"Miss Su, how have you been?" Zhang Peng greeted her with a smile, slightly surprised by this chance encounter.

Su Yao walked up to Zhang Peng, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Young Master Zhang, I've often thought of you since we last parted. I've heard you're interested in establishing a cultivation family. If needed, Su Cheng will certainly do everything in my power to help." Her voice was soft, tinged with anticipation.

Zhang Peng's heart stirred; Su Cheng's support was indeed a rare asset to him. "In that case, thank you very much, Miss Su. However, setting up a family is a complex undertaking, and I don't know where to begin."

Su Yao covered her mouth and chuckled: "Young Master Zhang, please don't be in a hurry. My father is the city lord and has a lot of experience in this area. He can discuss this with you in detail."

Zhang Peng nodded his thanks, and led by Su Yao, the three arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. City Lord Su Hong was a generous man, and upon seeing Zhang Peng, he warmly welcomed him. After some conversation, Su Hong offered to provide a spacious mansion as the family's residence and also to help recruit family members.

“Young Master Zhang, although my Su City is not a major sect in the cultivation world, it still has no shortage of talented people. As long as your family has enough appeal, you will surely be able to attract many ambitious individuals,” Su Hong said.

Zhang Peng was extremely grateful: "Lord Su is so kind, I will certainly live up to your expectations. However, since the family is newly established, we still need to establish family rules and clarify the direction of cultivation."

Lin Wan'er whispered from the side, "Zhang Peng, we can combine the cultivation techniques we obtained from the ruins to create a unique cultivation system that will attract more people to join us."

Zhang Peng nodded in agreement: "Wan'er is absolutely right."

Xia Lijuan also spoke up: "Although my cultivation is still shallow, I am willing to do my part for the family. Whether it is handling miscellaneous affairs or cultivating, I will not slack off."

Su Yao looked at them, her eyes filled with envy: "Young Master Zhang, with your unity of purpose, the family is sure to prosper in the future. I would also like to contribute my modest efforts to the family, if that is possible?"

Zhang Peng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "If Miss Su is willing, it would naturally be a blessing for the family."

Thus, with the support of the city lord of Su City, Zhang Peng's cultivation family began preparations. They posted notices recruiting disciples with cultivation aptitude. As soon as the news spread, cultivators from Su City flocked to sign up, and the city lord's mansion was bustling with activity.

During the selection of disciples, Zhang Peng discovered a young man named Li Yi. Although his cultivation level was not high, he had a deep understanding of the five elements of spiritual power, especially his understanding of wood-type spiritual power, which coincided with Lin Wan'er's philosophy.

"Li Yi, would you be willing to join my family, cultivate together, and explore the path of immortality?" Zhang Peng asked.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yi's eyes: "Young Master Zhang, it is my honor to join your family!"

As the family members were gradually identified, Zhang Peng began to teach them the cultivation techniques he had obtained from the ruins. He discovered that these techniques had a unique guiding effect on people with different physiques, allowing them to better unleash their talents.

However, just as the family's preparations were progressing smoothly, a mysterious man in black robes appeared in the shadows of Su City. Looking at the busy figures inside the city lord's mansion, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes: "Hmph, want to build a cultivation family? Not so easy!" This man was none other than Pan Liwei. After escaping from the ruins, he had been secretly accumulating power. Hearing of Zhang Peng's actions in Su City, he came to cause trouble.
