Chapter 148 Adopting a Dragon Whale! Chen Xuanmo Promoted to Top Grade
……

Through Wang Qianqian's "hard" treatment, the dragon whale cub's condition recovered a lot and it also had some appetite. The dragon whale mother hurried forward to breastfeed and replenish the cub's energy.

"Angchi, Angchi~~"

Long Jing’s mother expressed her gratitude to Wang Qianqian.

Wang Qianqian's expression did not relax at all. She explained to the dragon whale mother seriously, "The blood poison in the cub is very deep. It cannot be completely removed in a short time. He needs to be hospitalized for a period of time."

While talking, Yang Yuling was using gestures to help translate, even though she didn't understand Dragon Whale language, let alone Dragon Whale sign language.

Fortunately, dragon whales are always smart. After some difficult communication, the mother dragon whale finally understood what I meant.

It was still a little hesitant, but when it saw the cub looking sick and listless, it finally agreed, and said proudly that it would follow Wang Qianqian's arrangements.

Subsequently.

Wang Qianqian used the Xuanmo spirit boat to tow the broken Qinglian sword boat and asked the mother dragon whale to push the dragon whale cub weighing tens of thousands of pounds onto the sword boat, pressing the sword boat so hard that it almost sank into the water. She then drove the Xuanmo all the way back to the Zhenhai Villa on the east coast.

Below the Zhenhai Villa is a natural harbor, and under the sea cliff is a sheltered bay, which is a place for dragon whale cubs to rest, but the mother dragon whale is too large to move around once it comes in.

Fortunately, what comforts the mother dragon whale is that after her baby dragon whale settled down in this safe haven for humans, the blood poison in its body can be removed a little every day, and the condition of the little dragon whale is getting better day by day.

Moreover, these human beings were very friendly. They sent some human cubs to play with the dragon whale cubs, and there were professors of tribal studies who gave them lessons from time to time, teaching them reading, writing, and cultural knowledge.

As a mother dragon whale, she doesn't even have to worry about the food for her cubs, as this harbor nursery provides food and accommodation, and every day boats bring in fresh fish to feed the cubs.

Gradually.

The dragon whale cub likes this place more and more.

It is so smart that it can recognize hundreds of basic human characters and has learned simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It has also made many good friends, such as the mature and reliable big brother Chen Xintao, the silly Chen Xiuyan who is not even as good as it in academic performance, and Chen Wenjing who looks gentle and quiet but makes it a little scared, and so on.

At first, the mother dragon whale lingered in the sea near Zhenhai Villa, but as the dragon whale cub recovered better and better and lived and studied happier, she gradually stopped watching it so closely. Sometimes she even came back once every half a month. Every time she came back, she would spit out a lot of deep-sea fish, clam pearls, deep-sea corals and other products from her mouth as the child's medical treatment and custodial education fees.

In this process.

Time passed little by little.

The long 227 years of the Xuanmo calendar have passed, and time has come to the 228th year of the Xuanmo calendar.

During the Chen family's annual sacrificial ceremony, Chen Xuanmo, the Chen family's heroic ancestor who had long been in a deep sleep, slowly woke up to the sound of his eldest son's calm but lengthy and boring sacrificial text.

He thought it was just another ordinary awakening, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he realized something was different.

Among the wisps of purple air that were surging in, there was unexpectedly a thicker purple air. Although it was not as strong as the rebellious son Zhong Li Ye's, it was also thick and solid, and much thicker than the purple air of Chen Ningtai, who was once number one on the list.

Looking in the direction where the purple air came from, Chen Xuanmo saw at a glance a beautiful crane with a pure aura and golden wings.

It was standing behind Chen Ningtai with a solemn expression, its beak opening and closing gently, as if it was reciting something.

Can the spiritual crane also contribute purple energy?

Chen Xuanmo was immediately cheered up.

This phenomenon confirmed his previous conjecture.

Previously, as the friendship between Chen Ningtai and the Golden-Winged Spirit Crane grew deeper and deeper, they treated each other like brothers. Chen Xuanmo, who was extremely short of purple energy, was thinking that if Chen Ningtai and the Golden-Winged Spirit Crane became sworn brothers, then tricking the Spirit Crane into performing sacrifices might also contribute purple energy.

Unexpectedly, his experiment was successful.

Although the purple energy contributed by the Golden-Winged Crane is not as much as that of the rebellious son Zhong Li Ye, it is more stable. Unlike Zhong Li Ye, it is extremely difficult to trick him into giving it away.

then.

Chen Xuanmo looked through the crystal wall of the transfer beads and cast his gaze on the other two experimental subjects.

Next to Chen Jingyun, a locust ball, which was as big as a large hen and had a tuft of red hair on its head, was squatting on the ground, pretending to perform a sacrifice.

But although its attitude seemed pious, there was no purple energy coming from its body.

This made Chen Xuanmo frown slightly.

Why couldn't Ma Qiu contribute purple energy like the Golden Feathered Crane? Was it because his intelligence was not high enough, or did he not recognize him as his ancestor?
Chen Xuanmo pondered for a while and felt that it might be because of his lack of intelligence.

Before Su Yuanbai was just a worshiper and had not yet acknowledged him as his adoptive father, purple air would float out during the worship, but the amount was halved. This shows that even if Ma Qiu considers himself to be a family general or a guest official, there will still be some purple air.

When he thought of this possibility, Chen Xuanmo looked at a large water tank in the corner of the ancestral hall and the electric eel poking its head out of the tank, and he no longer had any hope.

as predicted.

The Thunder Eel, which couldn't even pretend to perform a sacrifice, also didn't emit any purple air.

Come on, another brainless guy.

Chen Xuanmo couldn't help but shake his head.

It seems that the conditions for producing purple energy by worshipping spiritual beasts are very harsh. Currently, only the Golden-Winged Spirit Crane, who has sworn brotherhood with Chen Ningtai and become his adopted son, meets the requirements.

But even if only one of the three experiments was successful, the harvest of purple energy was still considerable.

After all, the Golden-Winged Spirit Crane's strength is at the peak of the fourth level.

In addition, last year Chen Xuanmo consumed a total of two golden seals, assisting Chen Ningtai and Ning Zhuo to break through the thresholds from the fifth to the sixth level and from the third to the fourth level of the foundation-building period, respectively, which increased the thickness of their purple energy and made them relatively conspicuous in the crowd.

Over the years, Chen Xuanmo has gradually figured out the principle of using purple energy to assist breakthroughs.

The moment the purple or gold mark is triggered, it will trigger the breakthrougher's overlapping inspirations, entering a state of inspiration, forming an epiphany, and greatly reducing the time and effort spent on breaking through the bottleneck level.

Take Chen Ningtai as an example. If it weren't for the golden mark that helped him to gain enlightenment and break through the bottleneck, he might have been stuck on the bottleneck for two or three years, or even five or six years.

Of course, the inspiration that helps stimulate the state of enlightenment does not come out of thin air. It also requires the cultivator to accumulate insights in daily life, practice, combat, etc.

For cultivators who have accumulated enough experience, even if there is no mark to trigger enlightenment, they will eventually have enlightenment on their own one day, as if the heavy fog in front of their eyes has been cleared away, and their vision and consciousness suddenly become clear.

Throughout his life, Chen Xuanmo had experienced several sudden realizations without any marks, and through them he understood the true meaning of the fire element. After all, as a time traveler, he had an extra vision and consciousness dimension, which made it easier for him to accumulate insights.

As Chen Xuanmo's distracting thoughts became more and more clear, the purple energy produced by this sacrifice was finally absorbed and all gathered in the lucky bead.

However, before he could count the amount of purple energy he had harvested, he was suddenly startled.

Just at that moment.

The Xuan Mo Ling Sword trembled slightly, and with a "pop" sound, as if it had broken through some kind of limit, the black sword body suddenly burst into a brilliant light.

At the same time, mysterious forces spread outward with it as the center, and the momentum of the Xuanmo Lingjian began to rise steadily.

This is! ?
The Xuan Mo Spirit Sword has broken through to a top-grade spirit sword?

Chen Xuanmo was delighted.

I remember that it wasn’t long since the last breakthrough. I originally expected it to take ten years to accumulate a total of more than ten thousand purple qi, but I didn’t expect the breakthrough to happen in seven years.

There is no need to calculate to know that it took the Xuan Mo Spirit Sword thirty-one years to break through from the original mid-grade spirit sword level to the current high-grade spirit sword level!
After all, this year marks the 31st anniversary of Chen Xuanmo's death.

Well, it is much slower than the Shura Demon Sword in terms of promotion speed, but how can the power and level of the Xuanmo Spirit Sword be compared with that filthy thing like the Demon Sword that eats both meat and vegetables?
If I hadn't sorted out those turbid and mixed forces for it, the Shura Demon Sword might have exploded long ago, or lost its mind and become crazy, and finally been beaten to death by decent people.

Didn't you see that the Shura Sword was very reasonable now? It wouldn't easily deceive people and tempt them to fall. It was obvious that it was very sober now and liked its current life very much.

Soon, the transformation of the Xuanmo Spirit Sword was completed.

The changes in the spirit sword's appearance are not that big, except that the color has become more restrained, the aura has become more mysterious, and there are some mysterious patterns on the surface of the spirit sword. The power should have also been greatly improved. As for more specific changes, I'm afraid it will take some testing to know clearly.

Chen Xuanmo, who was in a very good mood, first quickly counted a wave of purple air.

This time, thanks to the contribution of the Golden-Winged Crane, the breakthroughs of brothers Chen Ningtai and Chen Ningzhuo, and the overall growth of the Chen family, the income from purple energy reached 715 strands, a full strands more than the last time!

The total amount of purple energy has reached 943 strands.

It's a bit of a pity that I still couldn't break through the thousand threads at once, and I have no idea what the state would be like if all the thousand threads of purple energy were put into the mark.

But at the current stage, even if one could barely gather a thousand strands of purple energy, they would not put all of it into a single seal. After all, there were too many places in the family that needed purple energy, and there were only two golden seals left in the house, which also needed to be replenished.

After processing the purple qi harvest.

Chen Xuanmo couldn't wait to consume a trace of purple energy to leave the lucky bead, and began to experiment with the various wonderful uses after being promoted to a top-grade spiritual sword.

The first thing was to try out the range of activities. After a while, Chen Xuanmo concluded that his range of activities had now reached a radius of thirty miles with the lucky bead as the core.

Well, it’s just a circle with a radius of thirty miles.

This area has far exceeded the scope of the Chen family's main residence, and also includes Chenjia Town not far from the foot of Qingyu Cliff Mountain.

With a slight movement of his mind, he appeared in Chenjia Town.

This small town was founded by Chen Xuanmo's second son, Chen Ningde.

He inherited some of Chen Xuanmo's secular business and made more money under the protection of the Chen family. Therefore, when Chenjia Town was first established, it planned for the future and built a circle of city walls comparable to the Acropolis, with a total population that could accommodate at least 20,000 to 30,000 people.

In the more than 30 years since Chen Xuanmo's death, Chenjia Town has become increasingly prosperous and bustling. The total population active here has reached several thousand, including many martial arts experts.

Whether they are loyal to Chenjia Town for a long time or employed by Chen for a short period of time, they can all receive considerable rewards.

Any immortal cultivation family cannot be without the support of mortals from the side branches.

Although these mortals from the side branches do not have the ability to go to heaven and earth like the monks, they can fill in the gaps in all aspects of the family, such as farms, shops, workshops, fleets, fisheries, etc.!
Even when the main branch organizes weddings or funerals, it still needs a large number of people from the side branches to help.

Otherwise, how could the Chen family, with just these few cultivators, support such a huge industry?

Chen Xuanmo walked around the town, then he had an idea and returned to the ancestral hall. He commanded the Xuanmo Spirit Sword to fly out of the ancestral hall and prepared to test the new magical uses of the Xuanmo Spirit Sword with great interest.

Chen Ningtai, who was presiding over the sacrifice, saw the Xuanmo Lingjian "swoosh" and fly away at an extremely fast speed in a hidden state. His eyelids twitched violently and he almost lost the tone of his reciting the sacrificial text.

Dad!
He is really becoming more and more childish, doing whatever he wants.

In such a solemn and dignified occasion to honor you, could you not be more patient? Could you set an example for the children in your family? How could you sneak away when the ceremony was only halfway through?

He muttered to himself, but had to bite the bullet and continue to preside over the sacrifice.

Since his father is not steady enough, he has to rely on his eldest son to support him.

Not to mention how Chen Ningtai reacted, on the other side, Chen Xuanmo, flying from the front gate to the back mountain in his upgraded top-grade spirit sword, immediately felt the difference.

After the promotion, the flying speed of the Xuanmo Spirit Sword became faster, and the energy fluctuations during flight became more concealed. This was undoubtedly very practical for Chen Xuanmo, who was accustomed to unethical tactics.

Then, when he tried to use the spirit sword to attack, he made another unexpected discovery.

A "small magical power" appeared in the Xuanmo Lingjian.

He integrated himself into the spirit sword, and after carefully comprehending and sensing it, he gained enlightenment.

The skill effect of this small magical power is very simple, which is to nurture a sword intent within the sword body.

This newly born sword intent may seem ordinary at first, but with the accumulation of time, it will become more and more powerful.

According to his understanding, such a small magical power is probably similar to the ultimate move in the game in his previous life. The CD time is relatively long, but the power is relatively large.

Chen Xuanmo felt the extra sword intent in the spirit sword, and with a thought, the sword intent was stimulated.

In an instant.

A faint, invisible sword energy shot out from the spirit sword at an astonishing speed.

"Pfft!"

The sword energy easily pierced through the thick trunk of a hundreds-year-old tree, and then sank into the rock behind the old tree, drilling a palm-wide, deep, sword-shaped hole in the rock.

"That's it?"

Chen Xuanmo stared with disappointment.

Although I know that the initial power of this sword intent is mediocre, isn't it too mediocre?
As for the power, it is very average, and there are no cool sound and light effects. Even if his son Chen Ningzhuo, who had just been promoted to the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, used all his strength to stimulate a sword energy, the power would be much greater than this!

Not to mention Si Jianli's powerful Green Lotus Sword Energy.

Probably the only advantage is that this sword intent does not require the consumption of purple energy.

No, there is another advantage.

When the sword energy was sent out, not long after, another sword intent was born in the sword body. If he hadn't realized this little magical power, he would have really regarded it as a free version of a normal attack.

Chen Xuanmo frowned and sighed secretly, it seemed that it was just as he had realized, this little magical power was called - [Sword Cultivation Technique], it needed to accumulate over time to nourish the sword intent, the longer it was held back, the stronger the sword intent would be.

I just don't know how long I can hold it in, and whether I can hold it in to the level of [Talisman] power?

If it is possible, then this little magical power is very good. After all, Chen now has a [Golden Talisman] in his hand and is reluctant to use it casually.

After all, this golden talisman was not easy to find. Once it is used, it would be even more difficult to get another one.

then.

Chen Xuanmo could no longer figure out the new functions of the Xuanmo Spirit Sword, nor did he know how much purple energy baptism he would need to accumulate for his next promotion.

Chen Xuanmo returned to the ancestral hall somewhat bored.

But when he saw that the sacrifice in the ancestral hall had ended, he staggered to Moxiang Pavilion again.

Chen Ningtai had been waiting in the Moxiang Pavilion for a while, and finally waited for the Xuanmo Lingjian to return. His eyelids twitched and he wanted to say something, but then he remembered that the person in front of him was his father, not his son!
I had to hold back what I wanted to say.

"Father, let me first report the important things that happened after you fell asleep last year." Chen Ningtai's expression was very serious. "According to my reliable internal information, the Palace Master of Wanhua Palace went to Wuhen Mountain last year and caused a big commotion. Although the specific circumstances are not clear, after that, the senior officials of Wuhen Mountain changed their previous lax attitude and actively responded to the nationwide investigation."

"In just one year, with the concerted efforts of the three major sects, a total of three Blood Soul Envoys who were hiding deep in the country were dug out, twenty Blood Deacon teams were wiped out, a total of more than a thousand Blood Soul Sect monsters were captured and killed, more than seven Foundation Establishment families that were involved with the Blood Soul Sect were found, and a Golden Core family that was involved with the Blood Soul Sect was also found!"

The results are so impressive?

Chen Xuanmo suddenly became alert.

Last year, Chen Ningtai’s pillow talk-style reporting actually produced such an effect?
Good good good ~! !
Chen Xuanmo felt that this attack was very powerful. It dealt a heavy blow to the Blood Soul Cult on a national level and suppressed their arrogance.

To Chen Xuanmo, the Blood Soul Cult is a malignant evil force that hinders his family's peaceful life and smooth development. It feels like a mountain hanging over Chen's head, ready to fall down and smash Chen to pieces at any time.

Chen Ningtai seemed to sense his father's joy and continued, "The masters of the three major sects have publicly stated that in the future, the intensity of this investigation will only be strengthened, not weakened, and there will be no one-off investigation until the Blood Soul Sect is completely eradicated."

Sure enough, after hearing this, Chen Xuanmo became even happier.

With the sect stepping in to crack down on the Blood Soul Sect, the Chen family's survival pressure was much less. This also made him feel that the sect was not there to help them.

And he, Chen Xuanmo, had no intention of letting the Chen family become the savior. He just wanted his small family to grow and develop peacefully and for his clan members to live a better life.

and many more?

Reliable inside information?

Chen Xuanmo recalled the rebellious son's opening words and couldn't help but stare at him with suspicion.

This rebellious son... Could it be that he and Taiyue have taken a step further? Taiyue's news suddenly became inside information!
But before he could ask the question, Chen Ningtai told him another shocking piece of news: "Father, according to reliable internal information I got, after the attack on Junior Sister Si Jianli last year, Master Hong Fu of Wanhua Palace secretly reached an agreement with the top leaders of Wuhen Mountain to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Dugu clan in the East China Sea. As a result, the Dugu clan got the news in advance, and all the elites of the clan fled overseas."

"Their retreat was so fast and their actions were so decisive, it was obvious that they had been prepared for this!"

"what?"

Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state, was filled with astonishment.

That Dugu clan from the East China Sea is actually connected to the Blood Soul Cult?

Previously, Chen Ningtai and Wang Qianqian took advantage of the situation to report it purely because they wanted to suppress this competitor. They originally expected to uncover some messy activities of their family.

After all, the family is big and has a long history, so it is inevitable that there will be some dirty things. It is fine when there is no investigation, but once it is investigated, it is basically confirmed.

As a result, the other party fled with all the elite members of the clan, which was obviously not a personal problem of a certain member of the clan.

As a dignified Jindan family, is it necessary for them to be so closely connected with the Blood Soul Cult?

This time, the Dugu family of the East China Sea was inexplicably dug out, but how many Jindan families are secretly colluding with the Blood Soul Sect to varying degrees?
Chen Xuanmo couldn't calm down for a long time. The sense of security that he had just felt was shattered in an instant.

I just want my family to grow and develop peacefully. Is it really necessary to make it so difficult?
