The Legend of Li Yuan
The Li Clan Huanxie City

After everything was ready, Li Dan and his family said goodbye to the other members of the Li Clan, there was a haru atmosphere when he let Li Dan go.

Li Yuan and Li Tong - two best friends who still have a blood relationship - were hugging, this separation was never unexpected before. "Li Tong, come visit my new place in Huanxie City sometime". Li Yuan said as he patted his friend's shoulder. " Of course, I will definitely visit there. You too, do not forget about Thunder Mountain, our training ground" Li Tong replied slowly. Then the two separated, Li Yuan and his family rode on a fairly luxurious horse carriage.

For Li Yuan, this was his first time to the City, there had been admiration ever since he entered the City Gate. The bustling atmosphere with various activities is in stark contrast to the quiet and peaceful Yellow Bamboo Village.

"Are you happy with the view of Huanxie City?" li Dan asked who saw his son looking seriously at the objects along the way. "Very different from our Village, of course here is more crowded with residents who are on the move" Li Yuan replied enthusiastically.

Next to her, it appeared that her mother only nodded lightly. "May you and your sister be at home living in the City" Li Dan said with a light sigh.

In Huanxie City, he would manage a Li Clan Herbal Shop. Although not large, at least can support his small family.

Li Dan himself was the grandson of the previous Patriarch of the Li Clan, his father had already died of illness when he had just married Xu Zuhui. Now that they had returned to the Li Clan's main family, he planned to live in Li Dan's old residence, where he was born and raised.

But since his father died he decided to bring his wife to live in the Yellow Bamboo Village. There is a sad story behind the death of Li Dan's father who is thought to have been planned by Li Cuan who is his younger brother in order to target the seat of the Patriarch of the Li Family. However since there was no hard evidence, Li Dan only kept it as a past wound.

The day before his arrival, the news of Li Dan's return with his family had been crowded into the conversation in the Li Clan. Yet those who had once sympathized, were delighted to see Li Dan return. While some other family members were feeling uneasy with Li Dan, there were concerns with Li Dan's talent if he was in the main family.

After a while of traveling, Li Yuan and his family arrived at his residence house that looked bigger than the previous house, there were four bedrooms and there was a study room with books left by his grandfather.

The house was kept clean and tidy because it was always cared for by a Li family servant who used to take care of the Li Dan family. There is a special building for servants that is right on the left side of the main building. At this moment an old man with a white beard was standing up to welcome the arrival of Li Dan,

"Welcome back Mr. Li Dan and the Madam" said someone wearing a servant's shirt, his face began to age with a few wrinkles on his face. "Uncle Hang, how are you? It's been a long time, I didn't expect you to still be taking care of this house" Li said, filled with the sight of Li Hang welcoming her.

"Oh yes, introduce these are my children, Li Yuan and Li Peiyu" Li Dan continued, pointing towards his two children. "Greetings uncle" Li Yuan and his sister said simultaneously. "Welcome also to young ladies and gentlemen" Li Hang replied politely. "Ah, don't be so formal. I am no longer what I used to be, and treat us as usual. We are family." Said Li Dan politely.

Then they enter the house and occupy their respective rooms. Li Yuan chose to occupy the very back room, because it was easier for him to go to the backyard that had a view of Thunder Mountain, where he had been playing and hunting since childhood. The distance of Huanxie City with Yellow Bamboo Village is not far, only about 30 Kilos Meters. Close enough and does not take long, this makes Li Yuan stay excited if one time he misses his friends, especially Li Tong his best friend.

Li Yuan poured himself into the mattress inside his room, looking at his wider room made him more comfortable resting, without him noticing himself immediately falling asleep in an instant.

"Hm.. Tomorrow morning we want to see the location uncle, maybe need a good arrangement and strategy. If it is known, of course our Herbal Shop will be sought after by many people" said Li Dan with enthusiasm. His always optimistic and unyielding character made Uncle Li Hang smile happily.

As a person who has followed the Li Dan family for a long time, of course, he has been very familiar with the character of the Li Dan family since he was a child, his father named Li Chen also has the same character.

"It's a pity that master Li Chen didn't live long, if he existed naturally the Li Clan would develop so rapidly" Inner Li Hang inwardly, he held back a little sadly given the past events. However he had no solid evidence to accuse someone of Mr. Li Chen's death.

In Huanxie City, the Li Clan was indeed the largest. The Li Clan had many family members as entrenched families, the founder of the Li Clan was a Great General of the Sky Palace, for his services he was awarded the land and title by the Celestial Emperor back then.

Despite being the largest Clan, the Li Clan was quite weak in the martial field. The young figures of martial experts were now filled by the Liu Clan who started to dominate the power in some scattered regions of the Empire. It could be said that right now, the Li Clan and the Liu Clan had extremely intense competition on various fronts.

Especially the Herbal business that is now starting to dim, since the members of the Liu Clan penetrated the Herbal business and collaborated with the Alchemy Association, the Liu Clan said, they sold special Pills and potions to increase cultivation abilities that were highly favored by cultivators.

Therefore, the case of the acquisition of Batu Energi mining business in Yellow Bamboo Village by Patriarch Li Cuan is to fill the coffers of the Clan's cash which is increasingly deficient due to competition with the Liu Clan. The abandoned herbal business was now handed over to Li Dan, it was like bringing the dead back to life!.

"Alright, early in the morning I will prepare the place" Li Hang's voice sounded respectful as he left the room.

While Xu Zuhui continued his activities by arranging some flower plants in the front yard, as a woman he was very fond of flowers. This has been usual since he lived in the Yellow Bamboo Village to fill his free time. While Li Dan rushed towards the reading room and prepared a signboard for his Herbal Shop, he wrote two words neatly, "Source of Life".

In a room, some people were discussing.

"Patriark, will the decision of pulling Li Dan back to the nuclear family not be a problem?" Asked an old man named Li Chang. "I understand with your concerns, it is precisely here that I will more easily keep an eye on his development" Patriarch Li Cuan replied casually and slightly indifferently.

With his status as Patriarch of course he would be easier to intervene in Li Dan's life. Some of the people present also confirmed Patriarch Li's remarks, thinking that Li Dan was no longer a feared threat. Even Li Dan was a fool who had already made great contributions, yet he could do nothing when the fruits of his hard work were taken over by the Clan.
