Chapter 102 My son Zhongli! Has become a golden elixir

……

of course.

This kid might also think of him as his brother.

This is normal. After all, when he treats Zhong Liye, he sometimes treats him as a younger brother and sometimes takes care of him as a son. The line in between is very vague.

It can even be said that this is the first and only child that Chen Xuanmo has raised personally.

Even Chen Ningtai, Chen Ningde and others who came later did not receive such treatment, because at that time he was too busy building and developing the family!
"Ugh!"

Chen Xuanmo looked at the purple mark on Zhong Liye's forehead and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

That’s all.

Let your dad help you.

As he was thinking, purple air was infused into Zhong Liye's body. The purple mark on his forehead became increasingly intense, and finally turned into a golden mark.

"Well, this time I came to the sect to catch the traitor. The original plan was to use up three golden seals at most, but this time I was so lucky that I didn't even have to use one golden seal to catch the traitor."

"Since you have me as your father, I'll just give it all to you."

As Chen Xuanmo once again infused purple energy into his body, the golden mark on Zhong Liye's forehead became brighter.

In the end, Chen Xuanmo input a total of three hundred strands of purple energy before he stopped!

The golden mark formed by three hundred strands of purple air is Chen Xuanmo's biggest investment in his life.

But he knew that this kind of golden mark was very useful when impacting the foundation-building stage, but it was not so effective for the foundation-building stage. With three golden marks like this, he didn't know if it would give him an extra 10% chance of success.

A 10% higher chance of success is also good.

Chen Xuanmo thought to himself that in this way, the success rate of Zhongli Ye, the rebellious son, in condensing the elixir would be close to 80%, which is higher than the success rate of the three spiritual roots in building the foundation.

What a rebellious son.

The help your father can give you is already the limit. I have to keep two or three hundred strands of purple energy just in case.

I hope that after you, the rebellious son, successfully form the elixir, you will come back soon to pay homage to your father and return some purple energy to your father.

After expressing his deep emotion and doing his best, Chen Xuanmo left Chiyang Palace.

After all, it takes time to form a pill, and he can't always stay with this rebellious son.

Considering that there were only 249 strands of purple energy left, Chen Xuanmo did nothing else. He returned the lucky beads to their original positions and fell into a deep sleep, waiting for Chen Ningzhuo to send him back.

Time flies.

Another year has passed.

The 218th year of the Xuanmo calendar.

Chen Xuanmo woke up slowly again to the sound of Chen Ningtai's eulogy.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous and "lively" ancestral hall, Chen Xuanmo felt particularly happy.

After checking the purple qi income, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this sacrifice actually gathered a total of 300 strands of purple qi.

The purple energy in a single year has finally reached 300~! This is three golden marks, plus the amount saved last year, the total amount of purple energy has reached 549 strands.

Chen Xuanmo felt himself suddenly stand up and felt that he was invincible again.

He casually used up a trace of purple energy, broke away from the lucky bead, and strolled around the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back.

I first paid attention to Chen Jingyun and Wang Qianqian. The former is already 40 years old this year and looks much more mature, but he looks just like an ordinary young man under 30 years old, with a bit of mature youth flavor.

After so many years of diligent training, and with relatively abundant family resources, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. With this rate of progress, he would be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage before he was sixty years old.

This was an impossible ideal when Chen Xuanmo was just starting his family.

Wang Qianqian, who was beside him, looked even younger than him. She was still very pretty, but she no longer had the baby fat and childishness she had before.

As a person with three spiritual roots, she has been practicing harder in recent years under the urging of her family.

She also wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible so that she could control stronger flames and then further develop Foundation Establishment Stage puppets.

At only 41 years old, she has already reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage. It will take her one or two years to reach the ninth level. According to her progress in cultivation, she will probably be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage before she is 50 years old.

And with the advantage of three spiritual roots.

With the help of a foundation-building pill, foundation-building is basically a sure thing, and she doesn't even need to prepare a golden mark.

Even for cultivators with three spiritual roots, even if they do not take the foundation-building pill, they still have a greater chance of successfully building the foundation.

This is the biggest difference between three spiritual roots and four spiritual roots.

She can build a foundation at around fifty years old, which leaves ample time for the period from foundation building to golden elixir. What is even more enviable is that even during the foundation building period, her cultivation speed is much faster than that of the four spiritual roots.

Even if a cultivator with four spiritual roots practices hard throughout his life, it is extremely difficult to reach the peak of the foundation-building stage before his life span of less than two hundred years is exhausted. However, a cultivator with three spiritual roots has the opportunity to reach the peak at the age of one hundred and fifty or one hundred and sixty, and then hone himself and try to form a pill.

With envy in his heart, Chen Xuanmo looked at Chen Shiyun who was kneeling beside Jingyun and his wife.

In the blink of an eye, the once pink and tender little girl has grown into a sixteen-year-old girl.

In terms of appearance, she is naturally very beautiful, with the shadow of Qianqian's playful and cuteness when she was young, as well as the gentle and dignified figure of a Chen woman.

This girl was extremely pious to her ancestor. She was meticulous when offering sacrifices and kept chanting along with Chen Ningtai's sacrificial text.

This made Chen Xuanmo love and dote on her even more.

Because she had become a disciple of Master Xuan Yang very early, in order not to delay her cultivation progress, Master Xuan Yang had already sent Senior Brother Yun Hao to bring her the Qi Refining chapter of the sect's orthodox method [Burning Heaven True Art], and he stayed for a while to guide Chen Shiyun in her cultivation.

Chen Shiyun's fire spiritual roots were indeed outstanding. At the mere age of sixteen, he had reached the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage and entered the Lingquan Realm.

This child will officially go to the sect to live and practice this year.

Chen Xuanmo was also a little reluctant and distressed, but fortunately she was smart and clever, and with her special identity as the sect's golden elixir seed, she would not be bullied in the sect.

Subsequently.

Chen Xuanmo looked at them one by one in a cursory manner. Many descendants of the tribe have been practicing very hard recently. In addition, with abundant resources, their cultivation progress is quite good.

Even Chen Xinyuan, who was regarded by Chen Xuanmo as the "reproductive tool" of the eldest lineage, looked diligent. Presumably, the fact that Chen Daoling, who was born with five spiritual roots, successfully established his foundation at the age of 82 really gave the family a shot in the arm.

Many people of the five spiritual roots who originally thought that they had no chance of building a foundation now felt an uncontrollable desire in their hearts.

This is a good thing for Chen Xuanmo, as it can not only promote the growth of purple energy, but also strengthen the family. From his personal perspective, he naturally hopes that everyone in the family can successfully build a foundation, but it is very obvious that this is impossible.

The path to building the foundation of the five spiritual roots is bound to be difficult and bumpy. Without strong willpower and faith, purple energy alone is not enough.

After all, purple energy cannot improve one's cultivation out of thin air. The prerequisite for it to inspire enlightenment is that one's own accumulation is sufficient and has reached the critical value of enlightenment.

Afterwards, Chen Xuanmo focused on his sixth-generation grandson Chen Xiuyang for a while.

This little guy is already eleven years old. He has practiced the superior wild method [Xunfeng Tornado Technique] and has successfully drawn Qi into his body, becoming a glorious cultivator in the first level of Qi Refining.

Chen Xuanmo had seen the treacherous and difficult to deal with poisonous spirit root cultivators like Poison Shadow Demon Girl, and he had also witnessed the lightning-like escape speed of thunder spirit root cultivators like Lei Ze. He was very optimistic about Chen Xiuyang's future.

A cultivator with wind spiritual roots excels at speed. Once he successfully builds his foundation, he will definitely be an outstanding hero.

It's just that the little guy is a little too fat now.

He is so chubby, and doesn't have the elegance and demeanor of the future Fengxing monk who can "walk on the wind and fly away" and make his clothes dance like a wild wind with a wave of his sleeves.

Just as Chen Xuanmo was inspecting, Chen Ningtai's sacrificial ceremony finally ended.

Then, everyone moved to Moxiang Pavilion and began the annual report and summary.

The first thing Chen Ningzhuo said when he came up was, "Father, last year, Peak Master Zhongli spent a month in seclusion in the Chiyang Palace and finally succeeded in forming a golden elixir. He also withstood three heavenly thunders and became a true golden elixir cultivator."

As soon as these words were spoken, the stone that had been hanging in Chen Xuanmo's chest finally fell to the ground.

In the state of a heroic spirit, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Although Chen Xuanmo calculated that Zhong Liye, the rebellious son, with the help of the three golden seals, should be able to increase his success rate from less than 70% to about 80%, which is safer than the average well-polished peak foundation-building cultivator's impact on the golden elixir, but the success rate is always just a rate, and there is still the possibility of failure.

Now that he had finally succeeded, he was naturally overjoyed, and a sense of pride rose in his heart for no apparent reason: "My son Zhongli has achieved the golden elixir!"

"However, when Peak Master Zhongli was resisting the thunderbolt, True Man Ziyin appeared and used his magical powers to block the thunderbolt phenomenon." Chen Ningzhuo added, "He also strictly ordered to block this news, most likely because he wanted to hide a trump card."

Chen Xuanmo nodded secretly after hearing this.

This is a good decision. Promoting Zhongli with great fanfare now is only to boost the morale of their own side. On the contrary, it will make the Blood Soul Cult hiding in the dark more vigilant and even make them come up with a countermeasure strategy.

But if this information is hidden, there will be more room for maneuver.

If he were Master Ziyin, he would probably do the same.

After Chen Ningzhuo finished reporting on Zhong Liye's Dan formation, he continued, "Father, the matter of Baihua Valley Zijing betraying the sect has been taken over by the sect's Law Enforcement Hall, and a follow-up investigation and interrogation has been carried out."

"According to the information they have provided, Zijing was born into a long-established foundation-building family. One of their ancestors had long been corrupted and lured away by the Blood Soul Cult, and now he has secretly returned as a Blood Soul Envoy."

"He promised Zijing that as long as she could make enough contributions, he would ensure that she could form a pill in the future."

oh~~
Chen Xuanmo sighed.

As a direct disciple of the Four Spiritual Roots, he naturally understood the despair of watching himself grow older while his cultivation level increased more slowly, with the chances of achieving success in elixir becoming increasingly slim.

At this time, someone offered me a chance to successfully form a pill. The temptation was really too great.
However, even if Chen Xuanmo could really form a pill, he would never be moved by the magic skills that required the blood sacrifice of tens, even hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, and that completely took an anti-human path to practice.

After all, a guy who has practiced the Blood Evil Magic can no longer be considered a human being. His ideology and character have been completely distorted, turning him into a complete madman!

But Chen Xuanmo's refusal does not mean that others will not be tempted and take action! Perhaps this is why the Blood Soul Cult can cause disasters again and again.

This caused Chen Xuanmo's pressure to increase significantly.

He didn't want his family to be swallowed up in a blood sacrifice by the Blood Soul Cult, or even have some of his clansmen forced to become cannon fodder for the Blood Soul Cult.

"Shhhhh!"

Chen Xuanmo wrote a few lines on the desk: "How should the sect deal with Zijing? It shouldn't be as simple as just killing him casually, right?"

Chen Ningzhuo shook his head: "The Law Enforcement Hall is only responsible for the subsequent interrogation and investigation. After the results were reported, the sect's subsequent decision was not made public. The information I could find out was very limited."

After all, the Chen family is just a small foundation-building family, and Chen Ningzhuo is just an ordinary inner sect deacon. There is no need to inform him of the sect's important decisions, so it is normal that he cannot find out.

Even Zijing's subsequent information was probably revealed to him by the Law Enforcement Hall because he was the handover person on the Chiyang Peak side. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get the information so smoothly.

After a pause, he continued, "But Deacon Qian from the Law Enforcement Hall came to me later and privately conveyed the sect's intentions, asking our Chen family to keep this matter secret. I guess the sect will most likely use Bauhinia as a pawn to lure out the big fish behind her and catch the other party in one fell swoop."

Chen Xuanmo nodded secretly.

This is what it should be.

If the sect couldn't even make this decision, Chen Xuanmo felt that his Chen family could have moved overseas earlier and started a new business.

However, compared to this, Chen Xuanmo is now more concerned about how much merit this matter can bring to the Chen family.

After finding such a valuable spy for the sect, it is impossible for the sect to do nothing, right?

Could it be that all the credit for catching the adulterer was taken by that rebellious son Zhongli Ye?
Without waiting for his old father to ask, Chen Ningzhuo reported: "In addition, the Fairy of Flowers personally summoned me secretly and asked about some of the past events when my father started a business in Cangyi Guard when he was young. After sighing, she said that this time the direct teaching of the Hundred Flowers Valley almost harmed the Chen family, and she also had a certain responsibility."

Chen Xuanmo was slightly stunned.

This Baihua senior sister actually cares about me~
He had spied on her swimming many times in the past, and although he would be beaten when he was caught occasionally, he still enjoyed it and his methods would be more covert next time.

Could it be that they developed feelings for each other during the fight?
And then there's a sadomasochistic plot where after you die, I realize that I have feelings for you?

Haha, Chen Xuanmo himself knows that this is nonsense.

The Fairy of Flowers is about thirty years older than Chen Xuanmo, and is a favored child of heaven with the potential to achieve golden elixir. How could she possibly have feelings for him?

At most, I beat him too many times, which left a deep bad impression on her.

But he was just seen swimming in a [Special Water Jacket], and it didn't violate the sect's rules, so he could only be severely beaten and let it go. Now it stirred up her memory again, making her recall the "bad boys" she met in her youth, and she just sighed and missed them.

Just like him, Chen Xuanmo, when he gets old, he will just laugh it off when he looks back at some of the ridiculous things and things he can't let go of when he was young.

While Chen Xuanmo was thinking, Chen Ningzhuo said, "The Fairy of Flowers said that she is willing to owe our Chen family a favor. Under the condition that it does not violate the sect's rules, she can help our Chen family once, or protect us from being harmed by others."

One favor, one shot! ?

Chen Xuanmo instantly perked up. The favor of a Jindan cultivator could not be measured by spirit stones.

If used well, it can sometimes even turn the situation around and bring huge benefits.

In addition, if the operation is done properly, and the benefits she gains from this move far exceed her expectations, then if there are similar benefits next time, will she refuse them?
You have to know that Jindan cultivators are not immortal gods who are detached from the world.

They also have their own needs. Spirit stones, elixirs, magic weapons, natural treasures, etc. are all indispensable things. Especially for Jindan cultivators like Fairy Baihua who are still striving to reach the third level of Jindan and are obviously ambitious, they have even more weaknesses.

Senior Baihua, I hope you are poorer and have greater needs, even greater needs!!

In this way, your Junior Brother Xuan Mo will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and find a chance to train you into a ruthless purple energy supplier in the future.

Subsequently.

Chen Ningzhuo reported again: "In addition, the sect's contribution for catching the adulterer has also been received. A total of ten [Merits] and 30000 contribution points were given. However, the sect thought that this was the credit of Peak Master Zhongli, so all the merits were allocated to him."

Without waiting for his father to ask, Chen Ningzhuo added, "However, Master Zhongli Peak believed that he was only involved in the adultery operation by accident and helped out a little, so all his merits and contributions were attributed to our Chen family."

This rebellious son finally has some conscience.

Chen Xuanmo nodded secretly, thinking that it was worth it that he had condensed three golden marks for him and delayed the development of the family for it.

"In addition, the head of Zhongli Peak also asked me to bring back a set of fire spirit tools for the Chen family. He said that Master Chiyang asked the Weapon Refining Hall to make it, and he personally spent several years nurturing and refining it. It was originally a treasure left for our family, but he didn't expect that he died before he could give it to us."

While talking.

Chen Ningzhuo took out a treasure from his storage bag. It was a red copper box. After opening the box, he saw a set of fire-type flying needle magic weapons neatly placed inside. There were nine flying needles in total, and each of them exuded a wisp of flame breath.

Chen Xuanmo was very familiar with this aura, it came from the meaning of [Red Sun True Fire].

Chen Xuanmo's eyes fixed.

Is this the spiritual weapon that Master specially used his own Red Sun True Fire to cultivate for Chen? You know, this method will damage his fire foundation.

I think the master must be thinking that he doesn't have many years left to live, and Chen Xuanmo has always been very filial to him. The family is also very respectful to him and provides him with a lot of support every year.

I thought about leaving something for Chen before I died.

For a while.

Chen Xuanmo felt a little heavy in his heart, but his desire for revenge became even stronger in an instant.

and many more!

Suddenly, Chen Xuanmo's mind focused and he felt something was wrong.

Hasn’t Master been dead for six years?

Why did Zhong Liye give the treasure to Chen at this time?

Could it be that he wanted to steal the things before?
This ungrateful guy is such a rebellious son!

However, since Zhongli Nizi has successfully formed the elixir, if he could come to worship himself during the ancestral worship, wouldn't his purple energy surge?
The current income is 300 points of purple energy. After Zhongli Nizi joins, it wouldn’t be too much to double it, right?
At the very least, he would have to return the three golden seals he had invested.

For a moment, Chen Xuanmo was moved and quickly wrote a few lines of words.

I have to find a way to get Zhongli Ye to worship me during next year's sacrificial ceremony. This task is given to Ning Zhuo!
Chen Ningzhuo took a look.

His face suddenly turned dark and his back was covered in sweat.

Dad, are you kidding me?

If I dare to mention this to Peak Master Zhongli, won’t I be beaten to death on the spot?
