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

Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

In the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided.

As the words of Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, began to echo within this particular room.

Everyone inside couldn't help but lift their heads.

Their expressions carried traces of surprise as they silently regarded the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Ping, who sat in the seat of honor.

If, as members of the Brain Trust, they hadn't heard...

Had Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City, just been driving someone out?

Was he intending to send away that stubborn and tactless young man?

At this thought, the faces of the members of the Brain Trust within the room couldn't help but reveal a hint of ecstasy.

It was well-known that there were precisely one hundred seats in the Brain Trust.

This meant that if some could enter the Brain Trust, others could not and become one of the hundred members.

Under normal circumstances, once you successfully entered into those hundred seats of the Brain Trust.

You would virtually become second only to one, above tens of thousands, within the territory governed by the Qingshi City Luo Family.

Members of the Brain Trust were equal in rank.

Normally, once you entered into those hundred seats and became a part of the Brain Trust.

You would then control immense power and authority.

Countless people, cultivators, or family powers would cling to you because of this status.

As long as you were in the Brain Trust and didn't commit any grave mistakes.

Then, under normal circumstances, you wouldn't be easily expelled from such an organization.

But unexpectedly...

This time, that young man had merely slightly questioned the opinion of Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City.

Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City,

Had directly issued an expulsion order.

It seemed he wanted to reclaim that seat in the Brain Trust.

This caught everyone off guard.

Yet, unexpected as it might be,

Supporting such matters was still something that had to be done.

After all, it wasn't they themselves being expelled from the Brain Trust.

What harm was there in showing support?

Moreover, if that person was truly expelled by the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City, Luo Ping,

Wouldn't a seat among the Brain Trust's hundred become vacant?

This also meant that the vacant seat,

Would be coveted by the family powers behind the Brain Trust members and others outside who wanted to press their own people into this available Brain Trust seat.

Regarding this opinion from Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City,

Other than agreement, there was only agreement.

Under such a trend, that obstinate young man and the family power he represented seemed to want to resist, to try and justify his action.

It probably had become next to impossible.

"Family Head, I..."

Inside the room of the Luo Family Patriarch in Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land,

The silently standing young man looked somewhat lost as he gazed at Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family who sat above.

Clearly etched within his eyes were deep regrets and unwillingness that kept spreading.

His reluctance was naturally because his status in the Brain Trust was about to be gone.

His regret was naturally due to his own actions.

If, at that moment earlier,

He hadn't stood out, hadn't been the one to stick his neck out, if he hadn't rebutted and questioned the Family Head's opinions.

Then, would it be...

That he wouldn't have been treated in such a way by the Family Head, wouldn't have been so directly expelled from the Brain Trust?

As for resentment?

He, a minor character, certainly didn't dare to hold any resentment towards Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City.

What kind of existence was Luo Ping?

And what was he?

Not to mention anything else, the mere identity in the Brain Trust was granted by Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City.

From this point alone, the enormous gap between their statuses was evident.

...

The stubborn young man in the room, although still extremely reluctant,

His heart was still filled with deep remorse.

But the fact that he had been expelled from being a member of the Brain Trust had already been definitively decided.

Actually, from the moment that decision had been made by the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City,

What he had to face was no longer Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family in Qingshi City.

What he had to face were all the family powers in and outside of Qingshi City.

The Brain Trust was a power center at the heart of the Qingshi City Luo Family.

Everyone, every family power, naturally wanted to get a slight share of that influence.

Previously, due to a lack of opportunity,

All the people in and outside Qingshi City could only bury their ambitions deep within their hearts.

But now, since such an opportunity had arisen,

Those people or those family powers,

Naturally would not let such a chance slip so easily.

As the saying goes, "It's better for a friend to die than for one's own benefit to perish."

It was so within Qingshi City,

So too outside of it,

And the same across the entire Xuanyuan Continent.
