Jang-yeong's information was, for the most part, eighty percent accurate, and there had never been any trouble after a hunt. In other words, Jang-yeong's selection of prey was perfect. This level of information was not something an early-stage Great Spirit struggling to get by in the backwaters could possess, so he must have gotten help from his father.
‘But... why?’
The cultivators of this world were not as attached to blood ties as the humans of his past life. No, in the first place, the act of leaving behind children was itself rare. The child of a cultivator was also a cultivator, so for them to leave behind children was mostly a matter of necessity.
One couldn't say there was no family affection, but most cultivator families operated in a way where the descendants supported the elders of the clan. This support was not mere filial piety of the heart, but a tangible and material service.
Descendants with insufficient realms would earn spirit stones and gather cultivation resources for the elders of the family, and this was the very reason for the existence of cultivator families. To the ancestors of such families, children and descendants were fundamentally nothing more than tools to brighten their own Immortal Path.
