In the cave around the moon, the ancestor of the Chen family moved slowly, spreading rain and dew from the jade bottle in his hand, watering the flowers and plants in the bushes.
Chen Shaohong followed her, and it took him a long time to hear what she said: "Although Immortal Mei failed to ascend, he is still willing to keep his promise and donate the spiritual acupoint to me, the Chen clan. But... I did not agree."
"Today is different from the past, and this is what our ancestors should be like." Chen Shaohong thought for a moment, then nodded, "In the past, it was Lan Chu who asked for help from us. If Mei Xianren goes, he will be nothing more than a piece of fish to be slaughtered by others. That's why he It is necessary to donate the spiritual acupoint. Although Mei Immortal has become a loose immortal, his power is still there, and the people below will not be able to make any trouble. If our clan takes over the spiritual acupoint at this time, we will be in danger of being controlled by others, so our clan is not only You can’t take this spiritual acupoint, and you can’t get too close to Lan Chu in the future.”
"I feel relieved that you can think so clearly." The ancestor of the Chen family smiled happily, but he still couldn't help feeling regretful and said, "It's a pity that this great opportunity has been missed. If you become a hole in the void in the future, you will have a spiritual acupoint." When it comes to matters, we can only ask the leader to make the decision."
The source of the Yukang Chen family's bloodline can be traced back to Chen Qupu. When he attained Taoism and became an immortal, there was also a spiritual acupoint in the cave. However, the spiritual acupoint was given by the third generation master. It is different from the fourth generation master. After Men Chen Liuzhen left, the spiritual acupoint was returned to the hands of Taiyan Jiuxuan lineage, so there is no spiritual acupoint in the Yukang Chen family today.
However, the Eighteen Cave Heavens were the orthodoxy within the Zhaoyan Sect, and the aristocratic families were vaguely constrained by it. Therefore, among the major aristocratic families, only the Changwu Wang family had spiritual caves.
Although the ancestor of the Chen family said this, she also knew in her heart that if she wanted to ask the master for a spiritual acupoint, there would be many obstacles in the Eighteen Cave Heaven. Since Chu Yunkai, the leader of the Five Dynasties, Zhaoyan has been deliberately trying to weaken the power of the aristocratic families in order to prevent blood ties from shaking the foundation of master and disciple. So far, it has been quite effective. None of the immortals in the sect are from aristocratic families. Neither the current Yukang Chen family nor the Changwu Wang family who are undergoing resurgence can compete with the Eighteen Cave Heavens at present.
The fate of the Yukang Chen family in the future is just a trend shared by all aristocratic families.
It is precisely because of this that she will win over many foreign disciples to prevent the Chen clan from being completely swallowed up in the torrent.
"The affairs of the Lanchu sect are over, and the next one is the Ranking. I feel relieved that Wanjun's child is being raised by Jihan's side. It's a pity that she is a little young. She should miss this ranking." The ancestor of the Chen family paused for a moment, but then she remembered that Zhao Shun was even a little younger than Chen Wanjun. She sighed lowly and said, "Instruct the few True Infant disciples in the clan to get ready. If they can get on the list, it’s a good thing, but if they can’t... let them live a good life and practice, and don’t lose their enterprising spirit because of this.”
"What's going on with Xiangyuan?"
Chen Shaohong thought for a while and responded: "Everything is fine. Junior Brother Xiangyuan has a kind-hearted temperament, and his disciples are also very smart. There are not many people in our sect who have understood the meaning of Tao in the Zhenying realm. If I go to Fengyunhui, I still have a good chance of being on the list, and after Guan Boyan has completed his cultivation, his name on the list will definitely not be low."
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved." The ancestor of the Chen family nodded repeatedly, and finally showed a real smile, "I have watched Xiangyuan grow up, and I know that he is a good boy who knows how to repay kindness. Back then, he was I planned to offend Haiqing, so I begged Immortal Wen to save him. Over the years, it became clearer that he and I were of the same mind.
"It's a pity that Guan Boyan has never been close enough to our clan. His qualifications are unrivaled, even compared to those of Xiang Yuan back then. If we can win him over, our Chen clan will be able to hope for a renaissance in the future.
"In the past, I wanted to bring Wanjun and him together, but neither of them had such intention, and I couldn't force the relationship." The ancestor of the Chen family laughed for a moment and mocked himself, "When people get old, they will tolerate good things when they see them. I can't help but want to hold it tightly in my hands, but now it seems that it is better to let nature take its course and not force it.
"Just like when Zhan Tian died, we all felt sorry for Hai Qing. However, more than two thousand years later, she has accepted a best disciple in her sect, and her fate is also unpredictable. It is really difficult to fathom."
At this point, the ancestor of the Chen family stopped and turned around with a frown: "What are your plans for that child? Do you really want Xiang Yuan to help you take care of him for the rest of his life?"
Although Chen Shaohong did not dare to keep a straight face in front of his ancestor, he still spoke stiffly and unnaturally: "Since Junior Brother Xiangyuan is close to him, it is not unreasonable to do so."
The ancestor of the Chen family snorted coldly, thinking that it was a bad fate, so he put the jade bottle away, but said nothing else.
…
Zhao Shun returned to the cave to see Liu Xuan, and first informed her about Emperor Changying's daughter.
Liu Xuan frowned and thought for a moment, but she didn't think much about it. She just said casually: "It's just like what A Chun said, I haven't tried it yet, how can I know that I'm not as good as her? What's more, there are nine pieces of Emperor Wu's blood in the Sun Palace, so I won't compare with this one." If the Changying emperor and his daughter fight, I will also fight with other emperors, sons, and daughters, so what do I have to fear?"
She smiled and took the silk written by Qing Zhi from Zhao Chun, read the content carefully, and after thinking about it, said: "The goddess mentioned that Chang Ying's parents are both members of the Six-winged Blue Bird tribe, so My bloodline is pure, I really can't compare with it, and I am also quite limited in several magical powers in my clan. If I want to get the blood of Emperor Crow, I can only rely on the demon soul in my body.
"So the goddess wrote a magical power related to soul refining and asked me to practice hard. But if I want to practice the magical power, I still need to sacrifice a lot of great demon souls. Fortunately, she has calculated several places where ancient demons died. , so that I can refine the remaining souls in it."
Liu Xuan stood up, her eyes a little reluctant, but she still said: "A Chun, in order to practice my magical powers as soon as possible, I will not stay here for a long time. If I can make it, we will meet at the Fengyun Meeting."
Zhao Shun shook his head and said: "We still don't know where the ancient demon fell. There may be many difficulties and dangers on the way. I will go with my senior sister."
Liu Xuan was startled, then frowned and refused, saying: "How can I trouble you? Now that the Fengyun Meeting is coming, Ah Chun should stay in the sect and practice hard."
"It doesn't matter, even when I'm outside, I won't slack off in my practice." Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Zhao Chun directly expressed what he was thinking, "Where the ancient demons fell, most of them are cold due to the accumulation of corpse energy. In this land, I can use these yin energy to force the breath of the sun into my body. In addition, what senior sister needs is the remnant soul of the ancient demon, but the remaining ancient demon body is useful to me, so there is no need to worry, senior sister."
Zhao Shun proposed to go with him, which was indeed something he had considered.
As an alchemy cultivator, Liu Xuan doesn't have much means to fight enemies, not to mention that the place where the ancient demons fell is full of natural resources and treasures. If she encounters a bad person, it's common for her to kill and seize treasures, so she can't just let it go. The other party is in danger. And the body of the ancient demon is indeed useful to Zhao Shun. The remains of the water hyena under the sea were extracted by the Heaven and Earth Furnace and condensed into the spiritual source in the furnace. This kind of good thing is a match made in heaven and earth with the "Tai Cang Spirit Seizing Technique". When the Fengyun Conference will face many powerful enemies, she should be prepared in advance. (End of chapter)
