In the void not far away, Zhong Chen's chest was slightly undulating, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhong Tu and Zhong Yun were stunned and could not say a word for a long time.

The smile on the corner of Zhong Jinkui's mouth was frozen and his face turned pale. No matter what, he would never have thought that as the peak of the early stage of the Golden Pill, his father would be met by Zhong Chen and his body and head would be different.

He shivered in his heart, and immediately reacted. He turned around and was about to escape to the distance.

"Zhong Jinkui, the scenery in Bugui Valley is so beautiful. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't go in and enjoy it?" Zhong Chen's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and an incredible look of fear suddenly appeared on his face.

The next moment, a pair of blue iron claws grabbed his shoulders tightly, and felt the surrounding scenery retreating, and then the whole person relaxed, and his eyes were suddenly filled with a strange red color.

"ah……"

A shrill sound came from the mouth of the Bugui Valley, followed by a "bang" sound, as if something had fallen heavily on the ground. Then, all the sounds inside ended abruptly.

Zhong Tu and Zhong Yun stood at the entrance of the canyon, looking at the bright red inside like a rolling flame, like a dream.

"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go back first." Zhong Chen found a storage bag from the headless corpse of the old man with white face, and then threw his body into the Bugui Valley, saying this.

After a moment, three figures emerged from the air and flew towards the distance.

Shortly after the three left, on the top of a hill near the mouth of Buguigu, the void fluctuated, and a figure of a man in white robe appeared out of thin air. Looking at the three rays of escape lights gradually moving away in the air, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

...

Three days later, Zhong Yun lived in a secret room.

"Cheng...Brother Chen, this is absolutely impossible. This... is too expensive!" Zhong Tu looked at the crystal-sized elixir of his thumb in the jade box in his hand and said incoherently.

"Brother Chen, this is something you have tried your best to get from the Nightmare Palace. We can't ask for it!" Zhong Yun closed the jade box in his hand, handed it to Zhong Chen, and said with a solemn expression.

"These two Taiyi Dans are something I specially left to you. You will give me some help before I go to the Nightmare Palace. I am not polite to you. Now you don't have to be polite to me." Zhong Chen smiled indifferently and said.

"You gave us Taiyi Pill, what should you do? Now you have achieved a foundation-building and you are able to use this thing."

"Yes! This..."

"Okay, needless to say, I have my intention to do this. But this matter must be kept confidential and no one can reveal anything. Zhong Yuefeng's reaction is also the reaction that other people in the clan will have. Life and death are at stake, you must remember it." Zhong Chen waved his hand, stopped the words of the two of them, and said with a solemn expression.

When Zhong Yun and Zhong Tu heard this, they recalled Zhong Yuefeng's previous actions and their faces were extremely serious.

After pondering for a moment, Zhong Yun wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhong Tu: "The third brother, since Brother Chen has said that, he is sure to condense the golden elixir."

"You and I are both illegitimate sons of the Zhong family. We have known each other since childhood. You all know everything that has been suffered in the clan over the years. It is not easy to join hands and get to this point today, and the future path will be even more difficult. When you call me Big Brother, I will try my best to take care of you as much as possible, but the improvement of cultivation strength depends on individuals in the final analysis. Remember, only by having enough strength in the Zhong family and even in this world can you have the right to speak." Zhong Chen stretched out his hands, patted the two of them on the shoulders at the same time, and said slowly.

"Yes, everything we have suffered is unimaginable to those direct disciples. In the eyes of the elders of the Zhong family, we are just cannon fodder when we have disputes with others. Apart from that, nothing is it." Zhong Yun said with his fists clenched.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, go to seclusion, we will take good care of ourselves." Zhong Tu nodded and said.

...

After leaving Zhong Yun's residence, Zhong Chen did not return to his residence, but went to the semi-public market he had been to before, intending to make as much preparation as possible before retreating.

During this trip to the Nightmare Palace, he had harvested nearly 7,000 or 8,000 with the spiritual jade alone. In addition, the storage bags obtained from Zhong Yuefeng and Zhong Jinkui this time were more than 13,000, which was an unimaginable huge sum of money for him in the past.

After he arrived at the market, he first divided some of the storage bags into several batches and replaced them with spiritual jade, and then began to go in and out of various stores.

In just half a day, he left the market and headed towards the northwest. In the following time, Zhong Chen ran to seven or eight large and small markets in a row, almost consuming eight or nine out of ten spiritual jade on his body.

Of course, there are also many bottles and jars in its storage bag, and the ones that are naturally filled with various spiritual elixirs and spirit stones that are helpful to the elixir.

As one of the three major immortal cultivation families in Tiannan Prefecture, the Zhong family is naturally lacking in all kinds of treasures, but these things are naturally used on major direct disciples, and the rarest and precious things will definitely be used on the best among these direct disciples. As for a common disciple like Zhong Chen, even the son of the head of the family, there will be no room for consideration.

This is also the key to the great difference in the strengths and cultivation of the direct and illegitimate ranks. Among the more than 100 Golden Elders in the Zhong family, most of them are direct disciples, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

But now, with these spiritual pills and other items purchased by Lingyu, his success rate of condensed golden pills has increased greatly. Of course, the most important thing is the three-turn Taiyi pill he obtained.

It was already half a month later when he returned to the Zhong family. As soon as he returned to his residence, he only hurriedly explained to Shiwu a few words, then he fell into his big bed and fell asleep.

This period of time really made him exhausted! However, what he didn't know was that during the period when he was out, the disappearance of Zhong Yuefeng, the elder of the Zhong family and his son Zhong Jinkui had been discovered, and a big storm was caused.

But for some reason, the matter lasted for several days and gradually became silent.

A few days later, in the retreat area of ​​the Zhong family, there was a secret room for cultivation.

Zhong Chen closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the spirit gathering array, with his hands facing upwards, and lightly placed them on his knees, his chest slightly fluctuated, and he breathed rhythmically.

Suddenly, his eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his eyes, and the light flashed in his eyes.

After several days of meditation, he has adjusted his whole body to the best state, and then he plans to retreat and try to condense the golden elixir.

He took a deep breath, glanced around slowly, and his eyes flashed slightly.

This is not the first time this is coming.

Like other training rooms, this training room is built on a spiritual vein with rich spiritual energy inside the Zhong family. It is a public retreat cultivation place in the entire Zhong family. As long as the cultivation reaches a bottleneck and is confirmed by the elders in the clan, no matter the common people or even the disciples of other surnames, they can apply for use, as long as they pay a small pen of spiritual jade.

But in fact, a small number of direct disciples of the Zhong family, especially those who rely on the clan, such as Zhong Daotian and Zhong Yiyun, will never be here in seclusion, but some secret places with more spiritual energy tailored for them. Their cultivation effect is far from comparable here.

However, this secret room at this time was already very different. In addition to the spirit gathering array under him, there were a lot of complex spiritual patterns on the ground around the room, as well as several small flags of different colors. It was a magic array he bought before for spending 3,000 spiritual jades. The effect was more than several times better than the ordinary spirit gathering array.

At the same time, there are also many water-attribute blue spirit stones with a bowl-sized mouth inlaid on the surrounding walls, and there is a faint blue mist around them. These are also valuable top-grade spirit stones.
