The middle-aged man's name is Cao Changmin, and he is a direct descendant of the Shanju Cao family, a fourth-class prominent family in Baiyang Immortal City.
The Shanju Cao family is a family that has risen from the grassroots level, especially more than a hundred years ago. As long as it is mentioned in the fairy city, no one knows about it.
Even though it only existed for two or three hundred years, the Cao family finally gave birth to a real person named Jindan, who was awarded the title of a fourth-class noble family.
Nowadays, the Cao family in Shanju has long been dilapidated and has lost its prestige in the past. Its members have long been scattered, or have switched to other families, or moved to other places. This ending can't help but make people sigh.
Cao Changmin grew up at the end of the Cao family's overthrow, and he was a direct descendant. He was more aware of the gap between prosperity and decline.
Occasionally, he read the family secrets and learned that his ancestors were born in a paradise in a mountain village, and entered the spiritual practice due to accidentally eating spiritual peaches.
Since then, the ancestors of the Cao family have risen rapidly. Not only did they found the family, but they also accumulated a huge family fortune, extending the wealth of the Cao family for more than two hundred years.
With his decades of tortuous experiences at the bottom of the spiritual world, he realized the huge secrets contained in these few crosses.
It would be extremely difficult for a single-family cultivator to support his own practice, let alone the family's future affairs.
There is only one reason that can cause this result, and that is that the ancestors of the Cao family had an adventure in the place of birth.
Three months ago, he found this place with the help of the few remaining family heirlooms.
What he didn't expect was that there were actually some people with the surname Cao living here in the village outside the mountain for generations. They should be the descendants of the Cao family who had not migrated out before.
Naturally, Cao Changmin would not be very respectful to these mountain people who no longer had much blood relations. In order to find an opportunity to revive his family, he would curse them at will, or punish them with slavery at worst. What he did caused the mountains to rise.
Most of the villagers in the outer village, especially the village chief's family, were angry.
Of course, there is also a small group of villagers in Shanwai Village who are willing to act as his spies and report to him at all times.
In order to deal with Cao Changmin, Old Man Cao could only pass on some secrets passed down from generation to generation, repeatedly add other information, and pass them to Chen Nuo and his son in the form of notes.
As for who of the two sides can win, Old Man Cao has no idea.
It is impossible for Chen Nuo and his son to know this information.
After they killed Cao Changmin, they obtained the storage bag he had on him.
The first thing I felt when I got it was that Cao Changmin was very poor and didn't even have a decent magic weapon. It's also possible that he had many fights during this period and most of the magic weapons were damaged. Except for a few chronicle books, there were only sporadic ones.
A few spirit stones and a Cao family identity token.
From the few Cao family classics in the storage bag, Chen's father only roughly knew that the ancestors of the Cao family might have had an adventure in Shanwai Village.
"San'er, you go back first with these things. Since you let me know about this, I can't pretend that nothing happened." Father Chen handed the storage bag on his body to Chen Nuo, and here it is almost
All the Chen family's property is gone.
Creating a family and making the family prosperous have become Chen's father's biggest obsession when his path has been blocked.
If he wants to accomplish these two things in his lifetime, then he must make this trip.
As for Chen Nuo, who was the most qualified among all his sons, Chen's father naturally refused to let him take risks with him.
If something happens to him unfortunately, the Chen family will still have Chen Nuo to support him, and the road ahead will be a little more difficult, but at least the hope of the family is still there, and he can always survive.
However, if something happened to both of them, Father Chen thought about the rest of the family and could only sigh softly.
"Father, before you make a decision, listen to me first. Think about it, our response and cooperation in this crisis are enough to show that what the two of us can accomplish together is far greater than
The sum of what we each do individually.”
"Furthermore, the clothes and belongings of this Cao family member are enough to indicate that he should be alone without helpers."
"So, the risk factor of our operation this time should not be as high as before. The two of us act together, and we also look after each other and help each other."
"I also know there may only be one chance, so we have to go all out."
After traveling so far, Chen Nuo has gained an increasingly deeper understanding of the entire spiritual world. He knows that if he wants to achieve something, he can only rely on his family or sect. It is extremely unrealistic to work alone unless he can have the so-called
The old man can give you guidance, or you can have that little green bottle.
Since he doesn't have that kind of fate, he can only advance and retreat with his family. If the family prospers, he will prosper; if the family dies, he will probably lose it. As for relying on another sect, he can't even think about it. There are no sects in this world.
Inheritance is different from the blood relationship of a family. It relies on the relationship between master and apprentice. The master chooses his apprentice, and the apprentice chooses his master. It is not that simple to make a successful pairing.
You must know that the top eight sects in this world are the only ones that can compete with the first-class families. Their inheritance is definitely not simple, and the recruitment of disciples is of course very demanding. In addition, the other small sects are alternative
It is a family inheritance, and the relationship between the faction and China is complicated and very exclusive. It is better to stay at home.
Therefore, Chen Nuo wanted to go with him. This was not an impulse on his part, but the result of his careful consideration.
Moreover, he also wanted to take a gamble.
Whether you can afford tea eggs in the future will probably depend on this time.
As for pickled mustard? It is impossible to eat pickled mustard in this life.
"Then, before you go, you must promise me that if you sense danger, you must first ensure your own safety and leave me alone." Father Chen thought for a moment and felt that what Chen Nuo said made sense. Cao Changmin could be alone.
After searching here for more than three months, there is no reason why it would be a shithole if they step on it.
The father and son discussed it again and headed towards Shanwai Village again.
Next stop, they plan to start from Old Man Cao.
So they went around in a circle, pretending to have harvested a lot of spiritual peaches from the peach grove, and they were both very happy. They came to say goodbye before going back.
After Old Man Cao personally escorted them away, they followed them quietly.
Sure enough, they heard the conversation between Old Man Cao and his two sons.
After they remained invisible for two more days, after realizing that Cao Changmin had not been seen for more than ten days, Old Man Cao and his two sons quietly walked into the depths of the peach forest, and they followed behind.
If Old Man Cao and the other three hadn't led the way, Chen Nuo and his son would definitely not have been able to find them.
While going around and around, they came to the edge of the grassless cliff in the painting.
Old Man Cao and the other three rummaged around the area again, but still found nothing. At the same time, they also borrowed tools and their two sons climbed and slid down the cliff. The cliff was so deep that the bottom was invisible. After they challenged their respective limits, the group of people went
He hurried back again.
After they returned, Chen Nuo and his son revealed themselves. Invisibility techniques like this can only be used to deceive ordinary people. If it is used to deal with monks, it will definitely fail.
Loose cultivators are very pitiful, and they often have defective products that others don't even take a look at.
Father Chen does have a secret technique that is of some value. This is the foundation of his life, and only Chen Nuo in the family has learned it to some extent.
This technique is a breathing technique. It can be practiced to such a high level that it can be hidden from monks of the same level. Chen Nuo only had the skin, so he used it to gather the spiritual energy of the vine seeds.
The technique that Chen Nuo practices is Jing Shui Yi Mu Jue. The aura on his body has the dual attributes of water and wood, which is conducive to the growth of plants. Therefore, he needs the help of experts to pick lower-grade vine seeds and carry them with him every once in a while.
Time to warm them up, and at the same time operate the secret techniques to remove their spirituality.
It was precisely because he was well prepared in normal times that at the critical moment, Chen Nuo pretended to be vomiting and nauseated, and dropped the vine seeds to the ground. When Cao Changmin came to the area, Chen's father instantly killed his demon snake, leaving
He was briefly distracted.
Then Chen Nuo cast a spell, causing the vine seeds to grow rapidly, wrapping around him instantly, filling the gap left by Chen's father. Chen's father was only at the sixth level of aura, and had spent a lot of mana fighting the demonic snake before. When Chen's father solved it
Kill the demon snake, and then use the long sword to directly kill the opponent.
In fact, they noticed something unusual as early as when they saw the bloody man disguised by Cao Changmin.
It can be inferred from common sense that when people are attacked, when they see others, they will subconsciously shout "help". Unless they are in a very familiar relationship and feel that they must die, they will tell the other person to run away.
So, they followed this hypothesis and tried to pull off a trick. If they needed to use tricks and schemes, it meant that the two were equally powerful, and it was unclear who would win.
As for what happened next, it was up to the father and son to make careful judgments. Fortunately, they were right.
What they didn't expect was that the demon snake that attacked Chen Nuo was so powerful. If Chen Nuo hadn't been given another piece of soft armor by Chen Nuo, which blocked the fangs of the demon snake in time, they would have capsized in the ditch.
, the gain outweighs the loss.
Fortunately, everything was safe, and the father and son had the last laugh.
At this moment, Chen Nuo called it the protagonist's halo.
