Chapter 106: Nearly Thousand Purple Qis! Chen Xuanmo is getting excited

……

However, after Chen Xuanmo became excited, his brows furrowed again.

This rebellious son didn't even kneel down to worship him?
I saw that the rebellious son Zhongli Ye was wearing a black robe and standing solemnly at the front. He was withdrawing his hands from the incense burner. I guess he had just finished burning incense.

He did not lower his head, but stared at Chen Xuanmo's tablet with a dazed look. From time to time, there was a hint of confusion, some anger, and sometimes a touch of warmth and happiness in his eyes.

He seemed to be constantly recalling the past events between him and Chen Xuanmo. Although he did not pay homage like the other tribesmen, the purple energy that was like smoke and pillars rose up from his body honestly and gathered into the lucky bead. It seemed that it was not inferior to the purple energy of all the others combined.

That’s all.

Chen Xuanmo thought magnanimously, since you, the rebellious son, have contributed the purple energy, your old father will forgive you.

At this time, Chen Xuanmo, who had just woken up, recalled that in the last family meeting before he fell asleep, a series of subsequent plans had been determined.

The Blood Soul Cult's lair at the junction of Donghai and Chenghai cannot be taken down by the Chen family alone. It would be best to find a powerful partner to work together.

Chen also considered cooperating with the Jindan family, the Qinghe Shangguan family. After all, the two parties have both a marriage relationship and cooperative projects with common interests.

however.

After all, the Shangguan family is a wealthy and powerful family with many people and many gossips. It is basically unrealistic to block the news and keep a low profile.

Therefore, Chen simply considered recruiting people from the sect.

There are three candidates under consideration. One is Shi Yan's master, Master Xuan Yang. However, this person is lazy by nature and is unwilling to even attend sect meetings. If Shi Yan, who has just officially become his disciple for a year, is allowed to pester him, perhaps he can be forced to come.

But what about the next time after this time?

Many things cannot be done again and again, and it will also lower Master Xuanyang's evaluation of Shi Yan and Chen.

The second choice is the Fairy of Flowers.

She admitted that she owed Chen a favor, and if this favor was exchanged for her taking action once, she would definitely agree.

But after thinking about it, Chen Xuanmo was not willing to use this favor in such a place, and the Fairy of Flowers belonged to the element of wood, which was somewhat in conflict with Chen Xuanmo's plan of killing several birds with one stone.

The third candidate is Zhongli Ye.

There had been "cooperation" in catching adulterers within the sect before, which helped them to resolve some of their grievances and laid the foundation for cooperation.

The most important thing is, because their master, Master Chi Yang, died at the hands of the Blood Soul Cult, both of them hated the Blood Soul Cult to the core, and they were natural allies in dealing with the Blood Soul Cult.

It is relatively easy to convince him to join forces for revenge.

After careful consideration, it was decided that Chen Ningzhuo would be the one to persuade Zhong Liye.

Since Chen holds clues to the Blood Soul Cult's lair, there is a high possibility that Zhongli Ye will agree to cooperate.

As for why he chose to take action at this time period, it was naturally because Chen Xuanmo needed to accumulate purple energy.

He was even thinking about whether he could take the opportunity to trick Zhongli Ye over and let him contribute a wave of purple energy during the annual sacrificial ceremony.

The reasons are all ready.

Now that you're here, why don't you pay your respects to Brother Xuan Mo?

Now it seems that the plan Chen Xuanmo made before falling asleep was successful.

He looked at the thick purple energy condensing and floating on Zhong Liye's body, and became more and more satisfied.

Not a moment longer.

As Chen Ningtai's sacrificial text came to an end, the lucky beads had absorbed and stored all the purple energy. Chen Xuanmo then began to happily plan for the harvest of purple energy.

Soon, the result came out - 716 silk threads!
This year's sacrifice actually harvested 716 strands of purple air in one go. According to Chen Xuanmo's estimation, about strands of them were contributed by Zhongli Ye alone. Not only did he surpass the first and second place on the list, he even contributed more than all the descendants in the ancestral hall combined.

In this way, he not only returned the three golden marks that Chen Xuanmo had given him before, but also returned an extra hundred.

As expected of a Jindan cultivator, he is so terrifying.

Although Chen Xuanmo had previously estimated that the amount of purple energy that a Jindan cultivator could contribute would be a lot, he did not expect it to be such an astonishing amount.

If Zhongli Ye came to worship him every year, wouldn't he be rich?

Just as Chen Xuanmo was imagining the future, Zhong Liye lowered his eyes, nodded slightly to Chen Ningtai, and then left the ancestral hall without saying a word.

"This rebellious son is really just going through the motions. He didn't even participate in the subsequent sacrificial ceremony."

Chen Xuanmo stared at Zhong Liye's departing back, thinking to himself that it would not be easy to get this unruly and ungrateful guy to come and worship him every year. He would have to think of another way later.

After he left, Chen Xuanmo calculated the total account of Zi Qi.

The last time I defeated the Poison Hand Doctor, I had 294 strands of Purple Qi left. Then I spent another 30 strands to locate the Blood Deacon's lair. Reconnaissance and other activities consumed 10 strands, leaving 254 strands before falling asleep.

Adding the 716 strands that just gathered today, the total number of purple energy has reached 970 strands, just short of a thousand.

Chen Xuanmo had been dead for twenty-two years, and this was the first time he had fought such a vigorous battle. He suddenly felt full of energy and strength.

After the complicated ceremony.

It’s time for the meeting at Moxiang Pavilion again.

However, this time, because Zhongli Ye was staying at the Chen family, even though the guest house assigned to him was far away from here on the edge of the Qingyu Cliff, Chen Ningtai still activated the small Sumeru Formation confiscated from the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord to isolate Moxiang Pavilion from the outside world.

In theory, this small Sumeru formation is very effective in isolating Foundation Establishment cultivators from spying, but its effectiveness against Jindan cultivators is much less effective.

But if the Jindan cultivator is too far away and he does not deliberately get close to scan with his spiritual sense, it will naturally have a certain blocking effect, which is equivalent to closing the door out of courtesy during a meeting.

At least, Chen Xuanmo didn't want Zhong Liye to find out that his heroic spirit was still alive.

Before the meeting started, Chen Xuanmo discovered that the aura of his fourth son Chen Ningzhuo had improved significantly, and his spirit had greatly improved.

It is very obvious that he has entered the third level of the Foundation Establishment Period and his strength has been further improved.

He said joyfully, "Father, I have successfully entered the third level of foundation building. I have also successfully completed the task of inviting the peak master to perform the sacrifice."

To put it bluntly, your dad isn't blind.

The Xuan Mo Spirit Sword made a "humming" sound, seeming to be in a bad mood.

Chen Ningzhuo quickly put away his smile and said seriously, "Father, last year we completed two missions to hunt down wanted criminals on the blacklist. For the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord mission, the sect gave us four [Merits] and 12000 contribution points. For the Poisonous Hand Demon Doctor mission, the sect gave us three [Merits] and 9000 contribution points."

That’s all?

Chen Xuanmo was somewhat dissatisfied.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord is extremely difficult to deal with. If Chen Xuanmo had not taken action, even a Jindan cultivator might not be able to find him and destroy him successfully!

Chen Ningzhuo hurriedly added, "I have explained to the Merit Hall how difficult it is to deal with the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, but Master Jin Guang believes that this is the Blood Soul Sect's evildoer promotion activity, not the Black List wanted criminal promotion activity, so he refused to change the reward."

"In addition, the Yimu Rejuvenation Technique has already been collected by our sect, but Master Jin Guang refused to take it back."

Haha~ Jin Guang, ah Jin Guang, I remember you again.

Chen Xuanmo gritted his teeth and made another note for Master Jin Guang in the little notebook of hatred in his heart. He planned to make things difficult for you when the Chen family takes over the sect.

But even so.

Chen now has 56000 [Merits] left and more than contribution points, which is very close to the Five Elements Formation.

If the Blood Deacon's lair could be successfully wiped out this time, according to the contribution-sharing model previously agreed upon with Zhong Liye, the Chen family would most likely be able to gather all the funds needed to exchange for the Five Elements Formation in one go.

"In addition, I have reached an agreement with the Peak Master that all the results of this operation to destroy the Blood Soul Cult's lair will be credited to our Chen family, and will then be transferred to the Peak Master in half." Chen Ningzhuo continued to report.

Chen received the mission to promote the killing and has completed the annihilation of two blood deacon formations. With these two, there are four now. Only one blood deacon formation is left to complete the mission to promote the killing and gain an extra wave of contributions.

As for giving half of the merit to Zhongli Ye afterwards, it was also Chen Xuanmo's idea. After all, although Zhongli Ye was strong, Chen only needed him to bear half of the combat power. Moreover, if it weren't for Chen's tracking and investigation, there would be no way to find the Blood Deacon's nest.

According to Chen Ningzhuo's report, Zhong Liye originally just wanted to find an opportunity to avenge his master, and was not prepared to take even half of the merit.

However, Chen Xuanmo knew that in the past five years, Zhongli must have borrowed a lot of rare treasures and spiritual stones from the sect in order to achieve the Golden Core stage. He must be in urgent need of merit now.

"This year, I have been sending the Yu Ling and Lei Eel team to monitor and investigate the Blood Deacon's lair from afar." Chen Ningtai also began to report on his work progress, chattering about the preparatory work over the past year.

It was not until a long time later, when Chen Xuanmo was almost drowsy from listening, that Chen Ningtai's report finally ended.

Chen Xuanmo immediately came to his senses and announced directly: "Act according to the plan!"

****
Half an hour later.

Zhong Li Ye, dressed in black, stepped onto the Qingyu Cliff platform under the guidance of the Chen clan members and saw the medium-sized spirit boat moored at the edge of the platform.

His eyes were blank.

When did Chen exchange for a spirit boat of this level?

Isn't this kind of expensive medium-sized spirit boat the standard equipment for the upper Jindan clan? If it is a foundation-building clan, only a few powerful foundation-building clans can barely afford it.

What made his eyes shrink even more was that there were a lot of oil papers pasted on this spirit boat, and a family logo was painted on the oil papers. There was also a family flag on the mast swaying in the wind.

Although Zhongli Ye was quite "dissatisfied" with Senior Brother Xuan Mo, he still recognized the family emblem and flag of the Cangyi Chen family founded by Senior Brother Xuan Mo.

These clan emblems and clan flags were obviously not from the Chen family. He carefully identified them and locked onto a family in his mind - the Heyang Qiao family, which was the Jindan family under the rule of Wuhen Mountain.

In the Great Wu Kingdom, the Jindan clan is considered the most powerful immortal cultivation family. Their flag and clan emblem are common knowledge widely circulated in the immortal cultivation world and must be remembered.

Even for a peak master like Zhong Li Ye, this is a "homework" that must be done.

"Master Zhongli Peak." Chen Ningtai came forward with a very respectful attitude, "I have prepared a separate cabin for you, please come this way."

According to his father, Chen Ningtai should call Zhong Liye "Big Brother", but Chen Ningtai was afraid of being beaten, so he naturally ignored his father's obsession.

Zhongli Ye didn't move.

He stared at the clan flag of the Heyang Qiao family, then looked at Chen Ningtai, as if he wanted to hear his explanation.

"Peak Master." Chen Ningtai said calmly, "Our Chen family is small and has little business. We are afraid that we will be targeted after provoking the Blood Soul Sect. We cannot withstand the counterattack of the Blood Soul Sect, so we can only give our reputation to the Jindan Upper Clan."

let?
The corner of Zhongli Ye's mouth twitched slightly.

Aren't you taking the benefits and letting Heyang Qiao take the blame? Heyang Qiao doesn't seem to have offended...

Suddenly!

A gust of wind blew over the Qingyu Cliff, causing some oil paper that was not firmly attached to the hull to rustle. A part of it was slightly lifted up, revealing the family emblem of another family inside.

Zhongli Ye instantly memorized the appearance of the clan emblem, checked it carefully in his mind, and his pupils suddenly tightened.

This is the family emblem of the Heyang Luo family.

Good guy!
Zhongli Ye exclaimed, "What a great guy."

Originally, it was thought that Chen wanted Heyang Qiao to take the blame, but unexpectedly, the real scapegoat was [Heyang Luo].

This is somewhat of a personal grudge.

Zhongli Ye had probably heard that there were some conflicts between the Luo family and the Chen family in Heyang.

"Ha." Chen Ningtai laughed awkwardly, "To wipe out the Blood Soul Sect, we can't just rely on the Yunyang Sect. The Wuhen Mountain clamors to kill the Blood Soul Sect together, but it's just thunder and rain. We have to add fuel to the fire. Ha, Peak Master, you know."

I do understand.

Zhongli Ye's eyes were full of suspicion.

But the method of shifting the blame and adding fuel to the fire was so familiar. If I was not absolutely sure that Senior Brother Xuan Mo had been dead for many years, I would have doubted whether he was still alive and that he was the one behind all this.

For a while.

Zhong Liye looked at Chen Ningtai's righteous face and felt a little complicated.

As expected of father and son, they really have inherited the same evil tricks~
Although he secretly complained in his heart, he still followed Chen Ningtai and boarded the medium-sized spirit boat.

Now, he only wants to avenge his master, even if it means killing one more evildoer from the Blood Soul Sect.

soon.

This medium-sized spirit boat set out from Qingyu Cliff and sailed all the way over the East China Sea, heading north on a route hundreds of miles away from the coastline.

This all seems normal.

However, when the medium-sized spirit boat was about to reach Chenghai, it suddenly turned a corner and flew inland.

At the same time, it flew higher and higher, entering the high gale layer.

The small five elements formation was activated, and a translucent energy shield was set up around the spirit boat. The spirit boat braved the strong winds, burning spirit stones, and flew inland at a speed of nearly a thousand miles per hour.

Zhongli Ye was naturally suspicious again.

However, Chen Ningtai's explanation was that there was still a key step missing in this operation.

Although Zhong Liye was puzzled, he had to control his temper and let him make arrangements. After all, the early investigation and preparation work were all completed by Chen on his own, and he participated in it purely as a thug.

in this way.

After flying for seven hours, the medium-sized spirit boat slowly landed in a remote mountain area.

Zhongli Ye could only roughly judge from the distance that this was probably a large uninhabited mountain range at the junction of Dongqi County and Heyang County.

"Peak Master, let us complete this tedious preliminary task. You can rest well in the spirit boat with my eldest brother." Chen Ningzhuo respectfully comforted Zhong Liye and said, "We will be back soon. It will take no more than two days."

Afterwards, Chen Ningzhuo, carrying the Xuanmo Spirit Sword and taking "Chen's worshipper" Su Yuanbai, left the spirit boat and traveled through the mountains and rivers.

It only takes half a day.

Chen Ningzhuo and his companions arrived at a valley covered with dense jungle.

This overlaps with the location of the Wu Earth Palace as specified by the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord.

Then, they followed a hidden crack in the valley and continued to sneak underground.

The terrain here is extremely complex. Even a cultivator who has established his foundation will most likely get lost if he goes deep into it, or even get stuck in a crack in the ground and be unable to get out.

However, Chen Ningzhuo has the Xuanmo Spirit Sword.

With the help of Zi Qi Divination and calculation, Chen Ningzhuo and his companions spent a full hour and a half to reach the deepest part of the winding crevice.

After that, after some divination and searching, they finally found a corner of the Wu Earth Temple deep in the rocks.

"call!"

Chen Ningzhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he also felt the extraordinary luck of the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord.

When that kid accidentally broke in here, he was only at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage!

And if Chen Ningzhuo hadn't relied on the purple qi divination to constantly guide him, he would never have been able to find such a secluded place.

That's right.

Chen Ningzhuo and his companion came here to develop the Wu Tu Palace.

The main reason why I didn't come here before was that this place is not near the Chen family's territory. Not only are the activities restricted, but once you encounter danger, there will be no one to help you.

Even if you don't handle it properly, you may end up becoming a puppet of the local tyrants.

This time they took advantage of the successful team formation with Zhong Liye and had his support to sneak over and do some private work.

If there was no danger, everyone would be happy. They would quietly take the inheritance and leave, as if nothing had happened.

But if they encountered unstoppable danger, they had a series of survival strategies, including but not limited to using a communication talisman to notify Chen Ningtai and ask him to ask Zhong Liye to come to the rescue.

Or, if they haven't returned or there is no news by the time the deadline comes, Chen Ningtai will immediately ask Zhong Liye to come for the rescue.

Even if the Wu Earth Hall is exposed to Zhong Liye at that time, it will be better than dying in an accident. At least with Zhong Liye's personality, he will not monopolize the relics discovered by Senior Brother Xuan Mo's descendants. At most, everyone can share them together.

In short.

Without realizing it, Zhongli Ye acted as a fuse for the Chen family to explore the ancient monks' ruins. It doesn't need to be the best, but it can still be melted to save people if something goes wrong.

In Chen Xuanmo's words, it was a rare opportunity to team up with Zhongli Nizi, so naturally he had to use him to the fullest.

Chen Ningzhuo and Su Yuanbai quickly found the main entrance of Wu Tu Hall which was half collapsed in the rocks.

As soon as they approached, there was a sound of rock shaking around them.

Everyone's expressions tensed, and then they saw a huge rock-yellow giant standing up from the pile of rocks, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The huge figure almost filled the entire underground gap. The raised rock lumps on its arms were full of power and had a great visual impact in the dim light underground.

With such surging power, it is enough to make people tremble with fear without even taking any action.

"Earth puppet."

Chen Ningzhuo's face lit up with joy.

The appearance of the Wu Earth Puppet completely proved that they had come to the right place.

Immediately, he took out the Wu Earth Token and injected his true essence into it. The Wu Earth Token immediately emitted thick dark yellow light.

See Wu Earth Order.

The huge eyes of the Wu Earth Puppet rolled a few times, then it sat back down and buried itself in the pile of rocks again.

"The Wu Earth Order is useful." Chen Ningzhuo and Su Yuanbai were both secretly happy.

This [Earth Puppet] is known for its defense and strength, and is very powerful. If they try to break in by force, it will probably take a lot of effort to kill it, and it may also cause unnecessary trouble.

Now that I can go in directly, it’s much less stressful.

The two of them moved forward and carefully entered the Wu Tu Hall.
