Chapter 1 The Cultivation Family has suffered many hardships
"Sir, the third elder calls you over."
The maid called softly not far away, looking a little reserved.
Chen Nianzhi sat cross-legged on the boulder on the edge of the cliff, closing his eyes and breathing in the morning glow, constantly cultivating the grand purple energy in his chest.
"Is it already Chen time?"
He whispered, and then said: "Go and tell the third elder, I will be there soon."
After the maid left and Chen Nianzhi continued to swallow the last ray of morning glow, he slowly stopped.
For the fifteen years since he was reincarnated in this world, he has come here every morning and night to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and transform it into the purple energy of the grand mist.
This cultivation method of absorbing morning glow is called Hongmeng Sutra. He accidentally found it from a street stall in his previous life. After that, he traveled through this world and became the supreme method that changed his destiny.
The Hongmeng Sutra can transform the power of morning glow and moonlight into the purple energy of Hongmeng creation. This purple energy has supreme magical effects. He alone has discovered it, and it has the magical effect of improving spiritual root qualifications.
He has five spiritual roots, so his qualifications are extremely poor, but when he was born, he was born with a breath of Hongmeng's purple energy, which raised his qualifications to a level comparable to those of three spiritual roots.
Chen Nianzhi knew that this Dharma was the greatest opportunity in his life, so he had been practicing diligently for more than ten years, painstakingly absorbing the morning glow and moonlight, and accumulating the Hongmeng Purple Qi, without ever showing it to anyone.
He didn't even want others to know his true spiritual roots, he only said that he was gifted with second spiritual roots.
In this life, his family background was pretty good. The Chen family was a small family of cultivators. There were more than a hundred monks in the family, and there was also an ancestor who was in the foundation-building period.
Although it may not be worth mentioning in the world, within the tens of thousands of miles around Yu County, it is still worth mentioning.
As the most outstanding being of the younger generation of the Chen family, he has been placed with high hopes since he was a child. He has lived up to expectations, and has actually broken through to the seventh level of Qi training at the age of only fifteen, which is already comparable to many senior monks who have been practicing for decades.
In comparison, most monks of the same age have barely reached the first or second level of Qi training at this age.
Most monks lay the foundation before they are ten years old, and do not start formal cultivation until they are eleven or twelve years old. It is not until they are forty or fifty years old that they can break through the middle and late stages of Qi training by relying on water grinding skills.
And because of Su Hui, he started practicing qi at the age of three. He had eight or nine more precious years of practice time than others. His cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and he was able to reach the advanced stage of qi training three months ago.
After breaking through to the late stage of Qi training, he gained the attention of the family. Now his status in the Chen family has improved a lot, and he has initially entered the family's top ranks.
Putting his thoughts back, Chen Nianzhi stood up and walked towards the clan affairs hall of the third elder.
The Cangyuan Mountains cover an area of thousands of miles, and its main peak, Qingyuan Peak, is one of the few spiritual mountains in the entire Yu County. There is a second-level mid-grade spiritual vein in the mountain. It is said that this place has been the territory of the second-level monster Qingyuan for hundreds of years.
.
Later, the ancestors of the Chen family killed him, occupied this precious spiritual land, took wives and concubines, and founded this immortal cultivating family.
Throughout Qingyuan Mountain's spiritual veins, the spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain is relatively thin, and the spiritual energy becomes richer toward the top of the mountain. Most of the monks below the sixth level of family Qi training have opened caves on the mountainside to cultivate immortality.
Upward is the seventeen-acre spiritual field opened by the Chen family, as well as the family hall, and the back mountain spiritual vein spring is where the clan leader practices practice.
The third elder, Chen Qinghao, is responsible for presiding over the family affairs, and the family affairs hall where he is located is on the top of the mountain.
As soon as Chen Nianzhi entered the clan treasure hall, he found that something was wrong with the atmosphere. There was a solemn atmosphere in the whole hall, and there were more than a dozen figures sitting there.
"I've met several great-uncles."
The few people present here are all senior members of the Chen family, namely the third elder Chen Qinghao, the fourth elder Chen Qingyuan, and the fifth elder Chen Qingwan. The remaining few are even the eldest uncles. Apart from him, there is only one elder brother in the eldest generation.
.
Follow the road to be evergreen, remember the virtuous and remember the ancestors, support each other to rejuvenate the clan, and ascend to immortality.
The sixteen-character genealogy of the Chen family has been passed down to this day. Apart from the patriarch, there are only six or seven people left in the eldest generation.
There are a total of seven elders in the Chen family, all of whom are ninth-level qi-training monks of the Qing generation. Among them, the eldest elder Chen Qingxu is based in Pingyang County.
Pingyang County has a population of more than 100,000, all of whom are descendants of the Chen family. These mortals can produce one or two descendants of the Chen family with spiritual roots every year, which is the foundation of the family inheritance.
Mortals are a great help to demon cultivators and demon clans, so in order to protect these clansmen, the great elder will not leave Pingyang County easily unless there is something important.
The second elder, Chen Qinghe, was in Yuyangfang City, in charge of several of the family's shops, and couldn't get away.
The seventh elder, Chen Qingyuan, is only thirty-one years old and has extraordinary talents. However, after joining the Qingyang Sect, he can only be considered as half of the family and cannot take care of the whole family.
Seeing that in addition to the patriarch who was in retreat in the back mountain for healing, the three elders from the family who could come had come, Chen Nianzhi had a vague feeling that something must have happened.
When they saw Chen Nianzhi coming in, several elders nodded. Chen Nianzhi was able to break through the late stage of Qi training at the age of fifteen. This talent is no worse than the alien spirit root. In the future, he has a lot of potential to build a foundation and become a leader in the family.
had high hopes.
Chen Qinghao, who was presiding over the family meeting, even nodded, showing a rare hint of warmth.
"Nianzhi, you are here."
"Now that everyone is here, I will tell everyone what happened."
Seeing that the dozen or so late-stage qi-training monks from his family had arrived, Chen Qinghao suppressed his smile and showed a sad look.
Chen Nianzhi looked at his expression, and his heart sank slightly. He probably guessed what was going to be discussed in this clan meeting. A year ago, Taoist Jiang from Tianxu Mountain refined a furnace of foundation-building pills. This time, four pills were produced.
I took two and put them up for auction.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is a rare treasure that can only be found. At that time, the Chen family sold a lot of property and even owed a lot of foreign debts. In the end, it cost more than 30,000 spirit stones to buy this Foundation Establishment Pill.
The patriarch Chen Changxuan was also ambushed by his enemies because of this Foundation Establishment Pill. Fortunately, the patriarch was a seventh-level Foundation Establishment monk and he escaped from the siege with the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Although Chen Changxuan also beheaded a Foundation-Building monk in this battle, it was a pity that he himself was seriously injured. He has been in seclusion at Lingquan in the back mountain since returning to Qingyuan Mountain, and he still doesn't know the extent of his injuries.
After the family obtains the Foundation Establishment Pill, they finally choose the candidate to use the Foundation Establishment Pill. If they want to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is best not to be over sixty years old. Monks over this age have insufficient energy and blood. Even if they use the Foundation Establishment Pill, they are often successful.
The rate will not exceed 20%.
There are still seven ninth-level qi-training monks left in the family. Putting aside Chen Qingyuan, who joined the sect, the first elder is already over seventy years old, and the second elder Chen Qinghe is also over sixty. The third elder was injured in the early years of fighting with others.
Fundamentally, there is no hope of breakthrough.
Among the others, the Sixth Elder Chen Qingmeng was an alchemist. His status and worth in the family exceeded that of the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder. In the end, he borrowed a lot of merit and won the Foundation Establishment Pill.
In the past three months, Chen Qingmeng has been in seclusion to break through the foundation-building period. Logically speaking, regardless of whether he breaks through or not, the results should come out at this time. At this time, seeing the sad expression on the third elder's face, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but feel that his throat was a little dry.
