The Qingyang Sect and his party returned to Qingyang Mountain, while Chen Nianzhi and Chen Changxuan made a special trip to Lingxing Mountain.
Looking at the ancient apricot tree in front of them, both of them were a little excited. This ancient apricot tree has existed for hundreds of years and is one of the rare specialties of Yu County.
Although the spiritual apricots produced by this tree can only increase one's life span by three years at most, it is also a rare life-increasing treasure and can be said to be rare in the entire border state.
Relying on this ancient tree, the Lin family can be said to have made a lot of money over the years. It is no wonder that Lin Baixi has two second-level high-grade magic weapons in her hands.
"How is it?" The old patriarch looked at the ancient tree in front of him, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked: "Are you sure about transplanting it?"
"Transplantation can be done."
As Chen Nianzhi spoke, he frowned and said, "It's just that this tree has been rooted for hundreds of years and is a bit old. Once transplanted, it will need careful care to survive."
"And after the transplant is successful, I'm afraid it won't bear fruit within ten years."
"As long as you can make a living, it's fine. You can't leave it to the Lin family to make enemies."
Chen Changxuan hesitated for a moment and then said decisively.
After making the decision, the two began to dig out the ancient tree themselves. The apricot tree was more than a foot tall and heavy, so the process of transporting it was also laborious for the two of them.
In order to prevent the tree from dying, Chen Nianzhi and Chen Changxuan took turns transporting the true energy. It took them seven days to return to Qingyuan Mountain.
This was the final decision made after the two discussed it. Although Lingzhou Lake is more secluded, its defensive power is far inferior to Qingyuan Mountain.
Just like the Lin family's Lingxing Mountain, its defensive formation was far inferior to that of Qingmo Mountain, and it was eventually breached by two people, resulting in heavy losses.
Putting eggs in one basket is not a good thing, and it is often more likely to attract enemy spying, so the two decided to place this tree in Qingyuan Mountain.
"It is finished."
After carefully planting the apricot tree on Qingyuan Mountain, Chen Nianzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the ancient spiritual apricot tree in front of him, he showed a bit of hesitation. The main reason why he supports the transplantation of Qingyuan Mountain is that he wants to improve the roots of this tree in the future, so as to improve the quality of Qingyuan Mountain's spiritual veins.
level.
And now he has a breath of Hongmeng Purple Qi, which is enough to lift the roots of the ancient spiritual apricot tree and promote it to the spiritual root of heaven and earth.
"This heaven and earth spiritual root is too precious. There are only two or three in the entire Chu State. Once exposed, there may be great risks."
"The people in Qingyuan Mountain are too arrogant, so we should wait until we break through my Zi Mansion before we think about it."
Suppressing his thoughts, Chen Nianzhi returned to Lingzhou Lake the next day.
After returning to Lingzhou Lake this time, he once again lived a life of pure cultivation. In addition to practicing every day, he also studied magical powers, warmed up and refined the fairy sword.
Like this, five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"..."
It was the autumn harvest season again, and my seventeenth uncle Chen Changlu came to Lingzhou Lake again in a boat.
Before reaching the lakeside, the old uncle shouted from a distance.
"Xian Ling Xian Yan, your grandpa is here, do you miss me?"
"You have reached the ninth level of Qi training so quickly. You two little guys have improved so quickly."
As soon as he landed, he found that Chen Xianling and Chen Xianyan had been waiting for a long time, and he couldn't help but said in surprise.
Chen Xianling is twenty-three years old this year and has grown into a handsome young man. He said gently.
"Thanks to Uncle Nian's cultivation, I made a breakthrough just a few years ago."
"
Teenagers at the ninth level of Qi training, you are really lucky." Chen Changlu shook his head, and then asked: "Where is your uncle Nian Zhi?"
Chen Xianyan smiled slightly and led Chen Changlu to the island in the middle of the lake, pointing to the sparkling lake water in the distance.
"There it is."
Chen Changlu looked around and saw only a lone boat lying in the lake under the setting sun in the distance at the junction of the lake and the sky, as if dividing the heaven and the earth.
A figure dressed in white as snow turned his back to everyone, sitting cross-legged on the lone boat, with a guqin on his knees, playing music that did not belong to this world.
When everyone listened, they felt that the sound of the strings was like orchids in an empty valley, and a sense of loneliness arose spontaneously, as if the strings of a string were tapping their hearts.
When the song ended, Chen Nianzhi put away his guqin and stepped on the waves.
He glanced at Chen Changlu and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, but Uncle Seventeen is still in high spirits. He is really getting stronger with age."
"What kind of music is this?" Chen Changlu couldn't help but ask.
Chen Nianzhi smiled: "This song is called Millennium Fengya."
"Your art of music has become more and more profound."
Uncle Seventeen sighed with emotion, and then remembered the business: "Qinghao asked me to tell you before I come here that the family still hasn't bought Po Yuan Guo."
"There are a few in the Mu family, but it will take thirty years at the earliest to mature."
"Thirty years." Chen Nianzhi shook his head: "It's too far."
Po Yuan Fruit is the main medicine for refining Po Yuan Dan, and Po Yuan Dan can help monks break through the bottleneck in the early stage of foundation building, increasing the probability of breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building by 30%.
After getting the alchemy book from the young man, Chen Nianzhi asked his family to find a way to purchase the Po Yuan Fruit. Unfortunately, the Po Yuan Fruit was relatively rare. No other family in Yu County except the Mu family cultivated it.
So far, the Chen family has been shopping for it for more than ten years but has not been able to buy it.
Half a year ago, Chen Nianzhi broke through the third level of foundation building. Seeing that he could try to break through the middle stage of foundation building in a few years, he once again increased his request to acquire this object.
This time Chen Changlu came, but he still didn't bring this thing, which shows that this thing is hard to find.
Seeing Chen Nianzhi's disappointment, Chen Changlu said regretfully: "The family has planted some Po Yuan Guo over the years. Unfortunately, it takes hundreds of years for Po Yuan Guo to be used as medicine. The current medicinal age is still too far behind."
"This is what I expected. After all, Po Yuan Guo, like Qing Yuan Zhi, is the main ingredient for refining realm-breaking elixirs, and is very difficult to obtain."
Chen Nianzhi said calmly, then thought for a while and said, "I remember that in a few months, it will be the family's turn to go to Tianxu Mountain to trade the Five Elements Essence."
"Well, I just happened to go to Tianxu Mountain to see if I can buy this medicine from Tianxu Mountain."
"..."
A few months later, Chen Nianzhi led the team to leave Qingyuan Mountain and headed towards Tianxu Mountain.
After the battle with the Lin family five years ago, Chen Nianzhi became famous, so he didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
After walking for three or four months, we finally arrived at Tianxu Shanfang City. After entering Fang City, Chen Nianzhi led the caravan straight to Tianxu Pavilion.
This time it was Liu Rumeng who received him. As soon as she saw Chen Nianzhi, she said enthusiastically.
"Counting the days, it's your turn this year, Mr. Chen, to come. It's been a long time since we last seen each other."
"You have become more and more popular in recent years. It is widely spread throughout the border states that you will be able to break through the Zifu realm sooner or later."
As she spoke, she asked people to count the five elements of energy, and joked: "If you can break through the Zi Mansion in the future, don't forget about me, sister."
