Chapter 164: Advancement to Foundation Building! Jing Yun and Jing Peng also rise

……

Chen Xuanmo began to think a lot, and a lot of information flashed through his mind in an instant.

The child's name, future, marriage, he even considered that the Yunyang Sect had a lineage of thunder magic inherited at Zixiao Tianlei Peak, which was just right for this child.

So, will this child join the sect directly in the future, or will he stay in the family first and use the purple energy to help him learn the method of thunder travel?

Joining a sect naturally has its benefits. Not only is there a ready-made inheritance of thunder magic, but there are also teachers to look after you, which can ensure that the child has a smooth road ahead.

With the qualifications of three mutated spiritual roots, it is impossible for him not to obtain the status of Zixiao Tianlei Peak's disciple.

It's a pity that the inheritance of Zixiao Tianlei Peak is only the orthodox inheritance after all. If there is a Taoist inheritance, with the child's qualifications, it is not impossible for him to give it a try for the Nascent Soul stage.

But correspondingly, there are also great restrictions on joining a sect.

Once you join a sect, you are almost bound to it for the rest of your life.

Especially with this child's qualifications, once he joins the sect, he will most likely become the master of Zixiao Tianlei Peak in the future. The position of a peak master is a lifelong system, unlike the foundation-building disciples who can voluntarily leave the sect and return to the family or create a family.

In this way, he would not be able to take charge of the family like other children in the family, help manage the family business, etc. If something happened at home, he might not be able to get back in time.

If one does not join the sect but stays at home, the benefit is naturally that the family can gain a capable general with three mutated spiritual roots, but correspondingly, there will also be greater uncertainty.

Because even Chen Xuanmo himself could not guarantee that he would be able to find the Lei Xing Zheng Fa for him with the purple energy.

Dilemma, dilemma~
However, as he was struggling, Chen Xuanmo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This is like when a baby is just born in the family, you start worrying about whether the baby will go to Peking University or Tsinghua University in the future. This is a bit too far-sighted.

Anyway, the child has just been born, and it will take another eight years before he officially starts practicing. As for whether to join a sect, it is not too late to make a choice after he is sixteen or seventeen years old.

Maybe in the next sixteen or seventeen years, the family's fortunes will explode, and they will accidentally pick up a copy of Lei Xing Zheng Fa?

Let's name the kids first.
Chen Xuanmo quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and began to think.

After thinking carefully for a while, he decided to name the child Chen Xinlei, a simple name that would surely become famous in the Great Wu Kingdom in the future.

Of course, when the child reaches the age of eight, the family will temporarily conceal his qualifications as a three-spiritual-root special-spiritual-root, and treat him as an ordinary four-spiritual-root thunder-spiritual-root.

As for the names of the other two children, Chen Xuanmo came up with an idea after a little thought.

Chen Xinyang's eldest son was named Chen Xiuqi and Chen Xinde's second daughter was named Chen Wenshan.

"Qi" means "to manage the family". I hope this child can grow up to be an outstanding person and achieve his own success.

"Shan" means coral. I hope this child's future will be as brilliant as coral.

They are all descendants of Chen Xuanmo, so he naturally hopes that they can all be well, but attention and favoritism are inevitable, especially as time goes by, when the population of the clan grows and the number reaches hundreds, thousands, or even more, naturally only those with outstanding spiritual roots will enter Chen Xuanmo's field of vision.

After picking the names, Chen Xuanmo calmed down a little and started to stroll around the ancestral hall again, looking at Chen Shiyun, Chen Xiuyang, and, yes, Jiang Xiaoyu...

Earlier, when Chen Xuanmo was collecting the purple energy, he paid a little attention to it and found that there was also purple energy floating on her body.

Presumably, after last year's "revealing his identity" and "going out to sea" activities, Jiang Xiaoyu completely opened up his heart, formally identified with and accepted the Chen family, and truly regarded them as his own relatives.

This child is pretty good, but her family must have met with trouble, and it’s hard to say what her future will be like. Chen Xuanmo’s hope for her is that she can study well and live well in Chen’s.

Of course, it would be even better if Xiaoyu could marry Chen Xiuyang.

But Chen Xuanmo himself knew that his great-great-grandson Chen Xiuyang was very immature and childish. Even Chen Xuanmo wanted to beat him up when he saw him. The possibility that the two of them didn't like each other was quite high.

If it really doesn't work, let Xiaoyu wait a little longer until our Chen Xinlei grows up...

One has three spiritual roots but a mutated one, and the other has three spiritual roots. If they give birth to a baby properly, they may be able to give birth to a baby with two spiritual roots. Then they can talk to the old monster Ziyin about the issue of the inheritance rights of the Yunyang Sect.

With a beautiful vision in his mind, Chen Xuanmo toured the entire ancestral hall.

Only then did Chen Ningtai stop his chatter and entered the meeting process at Moxiang Pavilion.

Inside Moxiang Pavilion.

Chen Ningtai rarely rushed to report the situation within the clan, but instead asked about the situation of the three children first.

Chen Xuanmo naturally told the truth, and at the same time controlled the Xuanmo Spirit Sword to carve the names of his three children on the wooden board.

Upon learning that Chen Jingyun and Wang Qianqian's son actually had three spiritual roots that mutated into thunder spiritual roots, Chen Ningtai was naturally very excited. He was happy for Jingyun and his wife, as well as for his family.

Similarly, he also suggested concealing the news that Chen Xinlei was a mutant of three spiritual roots.

This is also for the safety of the children.

The qualifications of the three mutated spiritual roots are really eye-catching.

In recent years, although the activities of the Blood Soul Cult in Hedong County and Donghai County have not been as frequent and rampant as before, the security situation in various places has not improved much. Various wanted criminals and gray forces are active frequently, and occasionally we can hear that a family of immortal cultivators has lost their children.

Chen had long been on the Blood Soul Cult's hunting list, and there was no guarantee that someone in the Blood Soul Cult would not be keeping an eye on them. If the news leaked out, and if anything happened to the child, they wouldn't even have anywhere to cry.

After saying this, Chen Ningtai started to babble again, saying all the clichés. In short, he expressed two points. First, the family has done very well this year under my leadership. Second, the family will be better in the future under my leadership.

Chen Xuanmo sneered when he heard this.

If you, a rebellious son, didn't have your father's protection, would you have such confidence?
After Chen Ningtai finished boasting about his great achievements, he got down to business: "Father, Uncle Zhongli was originally going to come for this sacrifice, but half a year ago he secretly went to the Tianyuan Dynasty with Master Ziyin, saying that Master Ziyin wanted to take him to see the world, and he could also help our family settle the reward for the wanted criminals on the red list, and find someone to refine the seventh-grade [Transcendent Treasure Pill]."

After much deliberation, Chen Ningtai decided to refine the Seven-Colored Treasure Ganoderma into a Seventh-Rank Transcendental Pill and put it into his pocket for safe keeping.

Firstly, it was to help his elder brother Chen Ninghe reach the fifth level.

Secondly, the Transcendent Pill is not as good as the Foundation Establishment Pill, and even the sect does not always have it in stock. Sometimes, even if you have sect merits and contributions, you may not be able to redeem it.

When he and Qianqian are about to reach the Golden Core Stage in the future, what will they do if they can't get the Transcendent Pill in a short period of time?
"It turns out that Zhongli Ye is not not coming to offer sacrifices, but is on a business trip and running errands for the Chen family." Chen Xuanmo suddenly realized and forgave him in his heart.

After all, we are a close father and son. We can't really stop talking to each other forever just because we are angry for a moment, right?

After all, every time this rebellious son comes, he can get more than 400 extra strands of purple energy!

Chen Ningtai paused and said, "In addition, I speculate that Master Ziyin went to the Tianyuan Dynasty secretly at this juncture, most likely to mobilize his connections and seek a solution for the Blood Soul Sect."

Ok.

Chen Xuanmo also had the same feelings and speculations, but his rebellious son's information channels were becoming more and more extensive, and he even knew the secret whereabouts of the old monster Ziyin.

This also proves that the status of the Chen family is different now.

Thinking back then, Chen Xuanmo felt his whole body tremble when he looked at the old monster Ziyin.

After talking about Zhongli Ye.

Chen Ningtai hesitated for a moment, then reported another matter: "Father, the Hedong Lu family has invested more and more in Yixianfang City. In recent years, they have formed alliances in Hedong County and have won over several old families. They are obviously ambitious and aiming for the vacant position of overlord in Hedong County."

"hehe."

Chen Xuanmo couldn't help but sneer twice.

Although anyone can compete for the position of regional hegemony, it doesn't matter whether one is qualified or not.

But the Hedong Lu family is still quite shameless. When the Blood Soul Cult was in chaos, the Lu family did not take any action. When the Cui family was besieged by the Blood Soul Cult's army, the Lu family did not send troops to rescue them. Instead, they kept pressing the Cui family in trouble.

Even Blood Mist of the Blood Soul Sect and his blood guards were hiding under the protection of the Hedong Lu family.

Although the sect's investigation results showed that the Hedong Lu family was innocent and had no involvement in the affairs of the Blood Soul Sect, it was unknown to outsiders whether there was a backer like the Lord of Shuiyue Tower who helped cover up the matter.

If Chen Xuanmo allowed such a selfish family with no sense of responsibility in the world of immortal cultivation to ascend to the position of overlord of Hedong County, he would feel that he had let the society down. Immediately, Xuanmo's spiritual sword flew flexibly and he carved a series of instructions on the desk in a flamboyant manner.

Chen Ningtai's expression was solemn and serious: "I understand, I will continue to keep an eye on the Hedong Lu family and find ways to curb their ambitions and actions."

After a pause, he said with a little worry, "But I'm afraid that Shuiyue Tower Master will be unable to sit still and will put pressure on our Chen family. After all, Lu Qingxuan is the most beloved disciple of the Tower Master."

Chen Ningtai emphasized the word "love".

It has been several years since Shuiyue Tower Master took over from Taiyue Master to guard Hedong County. Chen also paid a polite visit and expressed that he would actively cooperate with Shuiyue Tower Master's transfer, but the attitude shown by the other party was not enthusiastic. Instead, he was a little cold and distant towards Chen.

In the past, Chen did not quite understand how he had offended the owner of Shuiyue Tower. However, as the actions of the Hedong Lu family became more and more frequent and their ambitions became more and more unconcealed in recent years, Chen naturally understood the source of the natural contradiction between himself and the owner of Shuiyue Tower.

However, the ambition of the Lu family did not come out of thin air. It is said that they are a branch of the Zhongzhou Lu family, and the family's generation names are exactly the same. If they can gain the support of the Zhongzhou Lu family, it may not be impossible for them to become the overlord of Hedong County.

"Haha." Chen Xuanmo quickly carved the words and sneered, "The Lord of Shuiyue Tower is the head of our own sect. If he disregards his dignity and personally embarrasses our Chen family for a second wife who has not yet been named, then don't blame our Chen family for not giving him face."

The Chen family is no longer the same as before. Although they still respect the Jindan cultivators, they are definitely not in awe of them anymore.

Even without relying on external forces, Chen is confident that he can withstand the attack of a group of blood soul warriors, and even cause the other side to suffer heavy losses and return empty-handed.

In Chen Xuanmo's opinion, if the owner of Shuiyue Tower wanted to control the Chen family, he would most likely end up humiliating himself.

Of course, if it is not necessary, Chen does not want to be enemies with the owner of Shuiyue Tower. It is better for them to keep to themselves.

With his father's support, Chen Ningtai straightened his back and said solemnly, "I understand, son."

Then, Chen Ningtai changed the subject: "I wonder if father has noticed that Xintao did not come home this year."

Xin Tao?

Chen Xintao?
Chen Xuanmo was slightly stunned, as if he really had not seen Chen Xintao.

The main reason why he didn't pay attention was that there were too many children in the family, and Chen Xintao was just an ordinary four-spiritual root, and now he became Si Jianli's disciple.

Without waiting for Chen Xuanmo to answer, Chen Ningtai added, "The main reason is that the Wanhua Palace is 70,000 to 80,000 miles away from us. It takes more than ten days to travel by small spiritual boat, and a month to go back and forth. In the past, Fairy Jianli thought that the child was still young, so she sent brothers from the sect to send him back every year. But now Xintao is getting older, Fairy Jianli thinks that it takes too long to go back and forth like this, so it is better for him to stay in the sect to practice well and go home every few years."

Chen Xuanmo understood.

As Chen's scope of activities expands, similar incidents are inevitable, and there will be more and more of them in the future.

Perhaps in a few years, Chen's children will go abroad to study in other countries, so it is naturally impossible for them to come back every year to worship.

At present, Xin Tao alone will not lose too much purple energy, but in the future, it will inevitably lose more purple energy. However, Chen Xuanmo has no choice now. He can't let the children stay near the family all day long and not go out to practice, study, or even travel around the world, right?
Perhaps, as the Xuanmo Spirit Sword is promoted again, this problem will be solved.

For now, Chen Xuanmo can only pin his hopes on this, otherwise, he will have to accept the loss of part of the purple energy.

Then, Chen Ningtai said, "In a few years, Wenjing will have to become a disciple of Senior Brother Kongqing at Wanhua Palace. I suggest that the family arrange for some older children to develop at Wanhua Palace so that the children can take care of each other. I am considering Shiwen and Xinfeng. They are 21 and 24 years old respectively, and both have stable personalities."

"In addition, we must also find some older, mature and stable people from the side branches, and move their families to the mortal towns near Wanhua Palace to settle and develop. On the one hand, it will serve as an extension and expansion of our Chen family's power, and on the other hand, it will also give the children in Wanhua Palace a place to rely on."

Chen Xuanmo naturally agreed to this arrangement one by one.

Indeed, now that Chen has established connections with Wanhua Palace, it is naturally impossible for them to let the children fly alone there. It is time to extend their tentacles to Wanhua Palace.

After a brief pause, Chen Xuanmo wrote again, "Jing Peng and Jing Yun have both reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage and are about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Our family can purchase another medium-sized spiritual boat to travel around the inland counties of the Great Wu Kingdom to collect intelligence and specialties from all sides. We can also pick up the children of the Wanhua Palace every year."

A medium-sized spirit boat flies fast, and a round trip is also quick. Moreover, it can carry goods and people back and forth between the two sides without wasting spirit stones by having the spirit boat run in vain.

Of course, Chen Xuanmo also pays attention to the income from purple energy.

Because as time goes by, the descendants of the Wanhua Palace will increase in number and become stronger and stronger, and over time the amount of purple energy lost will be astonishing.

Chen Ningtai nodded and said, "Last year, our family made a lot of money, so it's not a big problem to buy an extra medium-sized spiritual boat. I heard that Cui's family has two extra medium-sized spiritual boats that are not being used. I'll bargain for them and take them all. By the way, I can also save them some money on the maintenance of the spiritual boats."

Uh……

Chen Xuanmo was speechless.

It is true that when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Once the ancestor of the Cui family falls, many of their foundations will be difficult to preserve.

However, since he could buy a cheap second-hand medium-sized spirit boat, Chen Xuanmo naturally would not insist on chasing after a brand new one, and he immediately agreed happily.

When it comes to Cui family.

Chen Ningtai added, "Speaking of Cui's, the storefront in Jinwufang City that they sold to us was finally completely cleared out and handed over to us last year. Last year, Brother Yuanbai went there to lay out the front line and plan our business routes. Father, do you want to go and take a look together?"

Jinwufang Market!

This is a luxurious place, where it seems that anything can be bought as long as you have money.

However, Chen Xuanmo did not go there many times during his lifetime. After all, he didn’t have much money at that time.

Now, Chen is relatively wealthy, and he also has the Purple Qi!

Oh, right, purple air.

Chen Xuanmo couldn't help but think about it. If having a baby gives you the first draw of purple energy, then betting on equipment might also give you the first draw of purple energy.

Chen Xuanmo still remembered that Chen Jingyun performed very well at the gambling stall and earned a top-grade magic weapon with a spirit by using a purple mark.

The first draw of the golden mark didn't seem to be too bad either. He and Jingyun once won a rare piece of [Red Flame Treasure Gold] in the Jinwufang City. Later, he gave it to Chen Shiyun's master, Master Xuanyang, to thank him for his help to the Chen family.

Thinking of this, he immediately checked his purple energy. Well, there were less than a thousand strands, so the orange mark could not be formed.

Let's wait another year.

Next year, Jingyun will be able to reach the foundation-building stage, and by then a large amount of purple energy will have accumulated. At that time, he will go to Jinwufang City to inspect the storefronts and plan Chen's base in Jinwufang City.

By the way, let Jing use the orange mark to boost his luck. If his luck is good and his first draw gets a double burst, perhaps a miracle will happen.

But in this case, this year's purple energy will have to be saved, and the gold seal jade plaques and purple energy jade plaques can no longer be mass-produced.

Think about this.

Chen Xuanmo hurriedly checked on the stock of gold-seal jade tablets and purple-qi jade tablets at home. When he learned that there were still seven gold-seal jade tablets and 69 purple-qi jade tablets, he felt relieved.

This many jade tokens are enough.

Next, we just have to wait until next year.

***
Time flies by.

Almost another year has passed.

The top floor of the Chen family youth version of the Golden Light Tower.

Chen Jingyun, who once carried high hopes from his ancestors, sat cross-legged on a cushion woven from earth dragon grass.

It is said that this cushion can slightly increase the success rate of gold-type cultivators in building their foundation.

At that time, Chen Jingyun was already 57 years old, but because his cultivation improved rapidly and he took great pains to maintain his health so as not to create the frustration of an old man and a young wife with his beloved wife, he looked much younger than his peers.

However, time still left many marks on him.

Today, Chen Jingyun looks like a mature middle-aged man in his thirties. Standing next to the still young and beautiful Wang Qianqian, I dare not say that he is Qianqian's father, but at least he is a bad uncle.

God have mercy on her, Qianqian is one year older than him.

Fortunately, as long as he succeeds in building his foundation, his aging rate will become quite slow before he is 150 years old, so there will be no major problem in the short term.

Chen Jingyun slowly adjusted his breathing, and all the past events came to him one after another, including the excitement and frustration when he started practicing the method of drawing qi into the body at the age of eight, and the high spirits when he was a teenager competing in sparring in the Sheshan market.

Under the protection of his great-grandfather's heroic spirit, for a period of time, he had the illusion that he was the protagonist of his life.

But after his daughter, a genius with three spiritual roots, was born, he found that the attention he received suddenly decreased a lot. Most of the great grandfather's love was transferred to his daughter. After his son Chen Xinlei was born last year, he felt as if he had suddenly become an ordinary member of the tribe!

Well, he had to admit that love could be transferred, so he could only practice hard to avoid being caught up by his daughter!

Although it's only a matter of time...

There was even a high possibility that his son would catch up with him in terms of cultivation level...

"Buzz!"

A sword sound sounded.

Chen Jingyun quickly gathered his distracting thoughts and entered a state of meditation.

After a while, his mind became clear, as if everything was empty. He then swallowed another foundation-building pill, practiced his skills to digest the power contained in the pill, and began to impact the foundation-building stage.

I don’t know how much time passed.

"Buzz!"

Chen Jingyun felt his consciousness relax and he felt as light as if he was in the clouds. Various insights came to him.

at the same time.

Chen Xuanmo, who was silently guarding and observing outside, nodded with satisfaction.

Although Jing Yun's great-grandson's spiritual roots were mediocre, his accumulation and polishing were good. The golden mark on his forehead did not even dissipate, and he easily entered the state of enlightenment on his own.

The subsequent foundation-building process was also smooth and basically obstacle-free.

As time passed, the aura on his body became stronger and stronger, and finally reached a certain critical point and began to transform.

When a cultivator advances from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the power in his body will transform from spiritual power to true energy. Both the quality and quantity will show a class-like leap. The cultivator's lifespan will increase significantly, and his strength will also improve by leaps and bounds.

This is a transformation, a transformation from ordinary to extraordinary.

The transformation process was also smooth.

The aura of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage began to emanate from Chen Jingyun, and gradually became more and more stable, and more and more prominent.

Normally speaking, the foundation building ends here.

But the epiphany didn’t end there.

At some point, the golden mark between Chen Jingyun's eyebrows had quietly disappeared, and a faint golden light was spreading over his body. An indescribable meaning was flowing in it, sharp and fierce, as if it could break through everything in the world.

This is a manifestation of grasping the true meaning of this line of work.

After a long while, the strange phenomenon on Chen Jingyun's body gradually disappeared, and he also woke up from his sudden enlightenment and began to slowly finish his practice.

When he finished his training, before he had time to realize his own progress, he was driven out by the humming Xuan Mo Spirit Sword. Then Chen Jingpeng entered the top floor of the Golden Light Tower and began the next stage of foundation building.

As Chen Daoling's eldest son, Chen Jingpeng is much older than Chen Jingyun. He is 77 years old this year, but he is in very good spirits. He has a solid foundation in both the accumulation of combat experience and the polishing of his foundation.

Because of Chen Daoan's previous experience, there is a risk of failure in the advancement of the five spiritual roots to the foundation building stage even with the blessing of the golden mark. Therefore, Chen Jingpeng paid special attention to this point. Even though he had already cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining, he still patiently polished himself for a few more years.

This kind of polishing makes sense.

Chen Xuanmo cast two golden marks in succession, and Chen Jingpeng smoothly entered the foundation-building stage, but he did not comprehend the true meaning.

But it doesn’t matter. Most of the foundation-building cultivators in the families haven’t comprehended the true meaning, so they are all ordinary anyway.

However, even with such mediocre foundation building, Chen Xuanmo was still very happy.

As the eldest great-grandson of Chen Xuanmo, Jing Peng had also once received Chen Xuanmo's love, although this love had been transferred to Chen Jingyun when Chen Jingyun was eight years old and discovered to have four spiritual roots.

But I loved it after all.

Moreover, the family suddenly gained two more foundation-building cultivators, and its overall strength increased significantly again, with more and more manpower available.

After this sacrifice is over, Chen Xuanmo will go to Jinwu Market to see if he can pick up some treasures to take home.

It would be best if it was Lei Xing's treasure. After all, Chen Xinlei, Chen Xuanmo's most beloved great-grandson, had a thunder spiritual root at the third level of spiritual root. He would be able to dominate the Great Wu Kingdom and the entire immortal cultivation world in the future.

Chen Xuanmo, could no longer wait to see that scene.
