Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 193: Golden Feathered Crane Advances to Level
……

While Chen Xuanmo was disappointed, Yang Yuling had already wiped the small blue bottle clean and took it in her hand to observe it carefully out of curiosity.

The small blue bottle feels heavy in the hand. The material looks like gold but not gold, and like porcelain but not porcelain. It makes a crisp sound when you knock it. There are many mysterious rune structures embossed on the surface.

But the strange thing was that after studying it for a long time, she couldn't find the opening of the small blue bottle.

She had to give up for the time being. After cleaning up the debris on the floor, she began to check the two jade slips she had picked up.

"Grandfather, one of these two jade slips is a wild method of building a water foundation. It is ordinary and nothing special."

Yang Yuling and Xuan Mo Lingjian often cooperate in combat alone, especially in various reconnaissance activities. Naturally, they know the existence of this magical heroic spirit, Great Grandfather, and they also know what Great Grandfather cares about most.

"This other jade slip..." She placed it between her brows, sensing its contents, and suddenly frowned. "It only records some miscellaneous techniques, um... all about aquaculture techniques and related spells, eh?"

She had only said half of her words when her eyebrows were raised high, and her voice was obviously a little surprised: "Here is the introduction of the little blue bottle. He left a record saying that this little blue bottle is a special treasure that the ancestor of the Ji family accidentally obtained. Placing it in the sea can slowly gather the free energy in the sea and condense the essence of water in the bottle. Only a small drop is needed. After dilution, it can be put into the breeding sea field to increase the energy activity in the sea field, making the seafood more vigorous and accelerating the growth rate."

"Especially the red-striped snails raised by the Ji family. The probability of them naturally producing snail pearls is relatively low. But if they are soaked in diluent, while accelerating their growth, they will also have a greater chance of producing qualified red-striped pearls. These pearls can be ground into powder and used as medicine. They have excellent beauty-enhancing effects. They are known as the two major beauty-enhancing holy pearls together with the ice pearls produced in the North Sea."

Can it have such an effect?

Chen Xuanmo was both surprised and delighted.

Of course he had heard of the Ice Spirit Pearl and the Red-veined Spirit Pearl, and he also knew how popular they were among female cultivators.

It turns out that the red-striped spirit snails seen before were not for eating, but for breeding spirit beads.

However, not to mention that the gestation rate of snail beads is far lower than that of shell beads, under normal circumstances, the gestation speed of red-veined spirit beads is also very slow, and it takes decades to barely reach the quality level. To brew some high-quality red-veined spirit beads, it will take at least hundreds of years.

The Chen family has only been established for about a hundred years.

If there is a treasure that can accelerate the growth of red-striped snails, breeding red-striped snails can become a good industry.

Even though Chen's jade slave industry is booming now, the actual pressure is not small. There are more and more potential members in the family, and more and more members need to break through to the Golden Core stage. The family's expenses are becoming increasingly huge, and a considerable portion of the income from the jade slave industry must be used to continue the research and development of the foundation-building puppets.

There is also the Chixia Island branch base. Since it is to be built into one of the Chen family's backup forces, it naturally requires a lot of resources to be invested in its construction, which is also a huge expense.

If this sub-base can have some special products of its own to generate its own revenue, it can avoid relying entirely on the main house for continuous support, which is naturally a very good thing.

"It turns out that this deceased cultivator was a member of the Ji clan." Yang Yuling was still checking the contents of the jade slip. "When the Ji clan was in great trouble, he hurriedly took the little blue bottle and fled. But as soon as he left the main house, he was beaten severely. He had no choice but to dive into the deep sea trench and get into this hidden hiding place that only a few clan members knew about."

"However, after he arrived at this hiding place, he was already seriously injured and could only leave a last word in the jade slip. If the Ji family's children found his body, there would be nothing more to say."

"If an outsider picked these up, it means that the Ji family has probably met with a disaster. He just begs us to take care of them if we meet the Ji family's descendants in the future."

At this point, Yang Yuling couldn't help but laugh, her laughter was clear and pleasant: "This guy is very clear-headed. He knows that if an outsider gets the treasure, it will never be returned."

Chen Xuanmo was also deeply moved.

Any family that cultivates immortality will never hesitate to use various means to ensure the continuation of their bloodline. This is true for the Chen family, and of course other families are the same.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, so it is normal to set up a secret hiding place.

But even so, there are still many cases of lost heritage and severed bloodlines.

It is unknown how the Ji family managed to hold on back then, or perhaps the surviving relatives who had escaped after many years returned to their ancestral land. In short, everyone who knew about this secret hiding place has died.

Most of the Ji family today probably don’t even know that their ancestors had this treasure called the little blue bottle.

After all, judging from the degree of decay of the skeleton, this incident happened a long time ago, at least hundreds of years, and at most thousands of years.

Since Chen has obtained the treasure left behind, it is not impossible for her to take care of Ji when she has the chance.

Of course, this is on the premise that you are safe enough.

After Yang Yuling collected the monk's belongings, she also put the skeleton into a bag and prepared to take him out to find a Feng Shui treasured place to bury him.

Afterwards, she returned to the sea with the Chixia Spirit Sword, cleaned up the body of the trophy octopus, and then took her people directly back to Chixia Island.

After dragging the damaged water-escape spirit boat ashore, Yang Yuling and Chen Xuanmo went to find Chen Daoling, met up with him, and began looking for a place to test the efficacy of the small blue bottle.

However, to test the efficacy of the small blue bottle, you must first perform a sacrifice and refine it.

According to the description in the jade slip, Yang Yuling sacrificed and refined the small blue bottle, and then activated the magic formula to point the mouth of the bottle downwards.

In a flash, a drop of azure liquid fell into the basin that had been prepared long ago.

As soon as the azure liquid entered the water, it spread in the basin like ink, and a fresh, lively and vibrant breath spread out.

Chen Daoling glanced around and casually picked up a fist-sized red-striped snail that seemed a little malnourished and threw it into the basin.

The two men stood with their swords at the edge of the basin, staring at the reaction of the red-striped spirit snail without blinking.

At first, the red-striped snail didn't react much, but not long after, it became active. Its feet slowly poked out of the shell and began to circle in the basin along the wall of the basin. It was full of energy and demonstrated a speed that was extremely rare among snail creatures.

After it had absorbed the essence of the spiritual water, Chen Xuanmo signaled Chen Daoling to pick up the snail and put it back into the snail field covered with reefs.

The red-striped spirit snail stretched out its legs and disappeared into the crevice in a few seconds.

Okay~

Although the steps are correct, it is obviously not easy to see any real results in a short period of time.

However, the diluted spiritual water essence cannot be wasted and must be used to its full potential.

Finally, this basin of diluted spiritual water essence was evenly poured into the spiritual tiger shrimp field.

After a short while, the tiger shrimps in the shrimp field gradually became active, their appetite increased greatly, and they began to look for food everywhere.

Chen Daoling quickly ordered people to find some discarded tiger shrimp feed from the Ji clan from the warehouse and feed it into the shrimp field.

Those tiger shrimps were scrambling for food and were very active.

However, although the effect seems to be obvious at present, it still requires long-term observation to draw specific conclusions. At the very least, it is necessary to control the variables and conduct a comparative experiment.

In this way, they can have a clear understanding of the functions and specific effects of the little blue bottle.

Chen Xuanmo knew in his heart that this little blue bottle could never be compared with the incredible little green bottle. The latter could easily cultivate thousand-year-old elixirs in a short period of time, but the little blue bottle could at most speed up the production efficiency of aquatic products.

Of course, it depends on how you use it.

If the small blue bottle can be used for transportation, for example, to increase the survival rate of spirit fish in the same unit of live water tank, it may be more profitable than direct breeding.

In the world of cultivation, rare treasures like this are hard to come by, and if used properly, they often have miraculous effects.

Several ideas suddenly popped up in Chen Xuanmo's mind.

Of course, there is still a long time to go, and these can be saved for later testing. For now, it is better to first find out the situation in the waters around Chixia Island.

Next.

Chen Xuanmo spent another ten days helping Yang Yuling and Chen Daoling to clean up the nearby sea area and figure out the terrain structure. Only then did his consciousness return to the main house and he fell into a deep sleep.

With the completion of the Chixia Island branch base, the Chen family secretly arranged for a group of clansmen to come to Chixia Island to start the construction of the branch base. Wuyun No. 1 and Wuyun No. 3 also shuttled back and forth, delivering a large amount of resources to the branch base.

However, Wuyun No. 1 and Wuyun No. 3 did not return empty-handed. They used their living water tanks to bring back a lot of Qianliu Islands' specialty [Blue-Striped Spirit Spots] and other rare marine products, which helped to make up for the huge expenses of building the branch base.

＊＊＊＊＊＊
Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the autumn of the 241st year of the Xuanmo calendar.

During these few years, the Chen family has been developing in a low-key manner. Chen Xuanmo is very frugal when using purple energy and is reluctant to spend it. He has been working hard to accumulate purple energy.

This is also taking into account that Chen Ninghe is about to break through, in order to assist him in successfully advancing to the fifth level.

After all, this was the first time that Chen Xuanmo used purple energy to assist the monster in breaking through the fifth-level bottleneck. He had no idea how much would be enough, so he could only try to save as much as possible.

好在家族也很给力，玄墨历239年贡献了1645丝紫气，240年贡献了1288丝，241年贡献了1792丝紫气。

And in these years, with Chen Xuanmo's "thrifty life", he only spent a total of 1640 strands of purple qi. Adding the accumulation of Xuanmo's 238 years, there are now a total of 5285 strands of purple qi left, which is barely enough to help Chen Ninghe's promotion.

The reason why 241 strands of purple energy were gathered after the sacrifice in the st year of the Xuanmo calendar was thanks to Chen Ningtai.

Because the family was in urgent need of purple energy, Chen Ningtai came up with a not-so-good solution. That was before every sacrifice, Chen Ningtai would personally drive the treasure boat to pick up Zhong Liye, saying that his father's spirit in heaven missed him.

With such an outrageous method, even Chen Xuanmo felt that there was little hope.

However, except for the time in the 240th year of the Xuanmo calendar, Zhongli Ye was really busy and was invited by him twice.

However, Zhong Liye also had some private thoughts about this, saying that if Senior Brother Xuan Mo was really still alive, he was thinking about him too often. Fortunately, every time he came, Chen Ningtai would always give him a big red envelope, which made Zhong Liye come again and again with great reluctance.

"Haha, a rebellious son is always a rebellious son."

After finally accumulating 5,000 purple qi, Chen Xuanmo looked at the full lucky beads and felt quite proud.

After my Chen Ninghe achieves the fifth-rank spiritual bird, I will have Ninghe pull the flying chariot to pick you up every year to see if you will come.

A few more days passed.

The main residence of the Cui family.

In the core area of ​​the main residence stands a seven-story golden pagoda named the [Golden Light Pagoda].

As a training building specially designed for gold-type monks, the foundation of the Golden Light Tower is deep in the underground high-quality gold-type spiritual vein. Special spirit gathering and guiding formations are also arranged on the tower, which can use the formations to gather a large amount of gold-type spiritual energy in the earth veins into the specially designed training room.

The spiritual energy is then compressed and purified through the formation, so as to help practitioners improve their practice speed and increase the success rate of breakthroughs.

It is a very useful functional building.

At this moment, the Golden Light Tower has been fully activated, and the entire golden tower is shining with brilliant golden light. From afar, it looks like the light is flowing and shining.

Compared with Chen's [Beggar Version Golden Light Pagoda], this Golden Light Pagoda also has flying eaves and pointed corners, towering walls and pavilions, and looks exquisite and sharp. There is not much difference in appearance, but the light is much more dazzling and bright, appearing particularly powerful and sharp.

Obviously, as a complete version of the Golden Light Tower, its functions are undoubtedly more powerful than the beggar version, and its effect in assisting spiritual practice is also stronger.

For this reason, after the owner of Shuiyue Tower, who had forcibly occupied the Golden Light Tower to practice, left, Jinyu Linghe's retreat location was moved to this Golden Light Tower, completely monopolizing the benefits of the Golden Light Tower.

Now, after several years, the Golden-Winged Crane has finally completed its accumulation and polishing, and adjusted itself to the best state.

Today is the day when the Golden-Winged Spirit Crane officially launches its sprint towards the fifth level.

now.

A group of people had gathered in the small square outside the Golden Light Tower.

Almost all of Cui's foundation-building elders were here, except for those who had matters on hand and were unable to leave. There were more than a dozen of them.

With so many powerful Foundation Establishment Stage masters gathered together, even though they had restrained their aura, they still had a strong deterrent effect. Almost no one from the younger generation of the Cui family dared to approach here.

But besides them, there was another group of people in the small square at this moment.

They are the Chen clan members headed by Chen Ningtai.

Compared to the Cui family, the number of Chen family members who came over was much smaller. Apart from Chen Ningtai, there were only Chen Jingpeng, Chen Jingyun, and Chen Daojue who was promoted in the past two years. However, their momentum was not inferior to that of the opposite side.

Not to mention others, just Chen Ningtai, a strong man in the late foundation building stage who is in his prime, is intimidating enough.

Such a battle.

Cui Xiuming, the head of the Cui family, looked at Chen Ningtai sideways and glared at him from time to time, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

When my ancestor He was promoted to the fifth level, your expression was even more solemn than mine. What does that mean?
This feeling is like when your wife is about to give birth and you are pacing anxiously outside the delivery room, but there is another man standing next to you, acting more concerned and anxious than you are.

Humph! If he could defeat Chen Ningtai, he really wanted to expel this guy.

That’s all.

Considering that you, Chen Ningtai, got the Transcendent Pill and paid half of the money extra, I, Cui Xiuming, will not bother with you.

Cui Xiuming glanced away and decided to completely ignore Chen Ningtai. Instead, he focused all his attention on the Golden Light Tower and prayed continuously in his heart.

With the blessing of our Cui family’s ancestors, we must allow Ancestor He to be promoted to the fifth level.

However, he also knew that although Ancestor Crane possessed a trace of crane blood, it was too thin after all. In addition, the breakthrough of monsters was inherently dangerous. Even with the assistance of the Transcendent Pill, the chance of a successful breakthrough was less than 20% to 30%!
But this time, Patriarch He insisted on his own opinion. Firstly, Cui Xiuming couldn't persuade him, and secondly, it was because the Cui family really needed a Jindan-level warrior to take charge.

The Cui family has lost their righteous inheritance, and coupled with the family's decline, they no longer have any geniuses with three spiritual roots. I'm afraid that for a long time to come, it will be unlikely for them to cultivate their own Jindan-stage powerhouse.

Over the years, the Cui family has suffered enough from not having the golden elixir.

If Ancestor He can successfully break through to the fifth level, he will be able to intimidate those "jackals" who are eyeing the Cui family and greatly improve the Cui family's situation.

at the same time.

Inside the Golden Light Tower.

Top floor training room.

A golden-winged crane, whose entire body is black and white except for its feathers which glow with golden light, is lying in a nest of grass woven with spiritual herbs. Its broad wings are folded at its sides, its long neck is bent into a graceful arc, and its beak is inserted under its wings. It looks like it is asleep.

But if you use your spiritual sense to perceive, you will find that at this moment it is madly devouring the spiritual energy around it like a whale sucking water.

With it as the center of the circle, rich golden spiritual energy continued to gather and sink into its body, as if there was a bottomless pit inside its body that could never be filled.

Next to the Golden-Winged Spirit Crane, Chen Xuanmo, in his heroic spirit state, sat cross-legged, infusing wisps of purple energy into the body of his beloved son Chen Ninghe as if they were free.

Soon, an orange mark appeared on Chen Ninghe's forehead.

"Boom!"

The orange mark exploded instantly and turned into specks of nothingness. Chen Ninghe entered into a mysterious enlightenment. The aura around him continued to rise and fall, like waves rolling in the sea.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Just when Chen Ninghe's breath was becoming increasingly unstable, Chen Xuanmo instilled another orange mark in him.

After the orange mark exploded, Chen Linghe got another chance. The golden aura continued to roll, and his bloodline also underwent some indescribable transformation.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Chen Ninghe's breathing became unstable again.

Ok.

Chen Xuanmo invested the third orange mark.

At this time, Chen Xuanmo also became a little nervous.

Although according to his speculation, three orange marks were theoretically enough, it was the first time after all, and he was still nervous before the results came out.

Whether Chen Ninghe can be promoted to the fifth level not only concerns the Cui family, but also the Chen family!

Fortunately, this time, Chen Ninghe was very competitive. His bloodline continued to transform and his aura continued to surge. He never showed any signs of decline.

I don’t know how long it took.

"Wow!"

Chen Ninghe bent his neck toward the sky and suddenly let out a high-pitched crane cry.

The sound was like the sound of jade striking a bell, or the clanging of metal and iron, and it caused the entire Golden Light Tower to tremble violently.

at the same time.

A powerful aura of majesty, majesty, and purity emerged in Chen Ninghe's body.

Chen Ninghe's broad wings spread out instinctively and flapped subconsciously, and a majestic aura spread out uncontrollably.

He flew out of the Golden Light Tower and flapped his wings into the sky.

At this moment, his body size was more than twice as large as before, and his wings, which originally had only golden edges, were now mostly dyed golden. They sparkled in the sun, and he looked extremely majestic.

The aura of a fifth-level spiritual bird spread out with him as the center, instantly sweeping across the entire Cui family's main residence and spreading to even farther places.

In an instant, countless birds within a radius of several miles were startled and flew away, and faint cries of wild beasts seemed to be heard.

"it is good!"

Chen Xuanmo felt relieved and secretly happy.

My son Chen Ninghe will eventually become a great man!

You are worthy of being my, Chen Xuanmo's, most precious child~~~~
