Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 75 You call this a country clan?

……

No wonder Shangguan Yuntai was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Most of the cultivators in the foundation-building stage in this world are unable to comprehend the true meaning, even just the rudiments of the true meaning.

Take the Shangguan family of Qinghe as an example.

As a senior Jindan clan, the Shangguan family can be said to be prosperous and has a strong family foundation. There are nearly thirty living Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family, plus a Jindan ancestor!

Among them, there are only four who grasp the true meaning!
These four are the Jindan ancestor, the family's three spiritual root Jindan seeds, that is, the next ancestor, and two family elders who are in the late foundation building Lingtai realm.

At least, Shangguan Yuntai had already reached the middle stage of the foundation-building stage, but he had not even touched the threshold of the true meaning.

I heard that this small Cangyi Chen family has only two foundation-building cultivators, one of whom is an inner sect deacon of the Yunyang Sect.

How could a cultivator from such a family have the ability to grasp the true meaning?

Just when the old man Shangguan Yuntai was feeling emotionally unstable and unable to calm down, Chen Ningtai's voice rang out again.

"Ouch, sorry, sorry, I was in a hurry and couldn't control my strength." Chen Ningtai's face was full of guilt and concern. "Brother Shangguan, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

“Humph!” Shangguan Yuntai’s face turned black as ink, and he waved his sleeves and said, “With your little tricks, you can’t hurt me.”

Having said that, he was still awestruck in his heart.

This Chen Ningtai really should not be underestimated. I originally thought that it would be no problem to defeat him with my own strength, but now it seems that if I don't use the life-saving trump card given by my family, it is still unclear whether I can remain undefeated.

The prototype of the true meaning, this is the true meaning~!
For a moment, the old man Shangguan Yuntai felt a little upset.

How could the head of this small country clan understand the true meaning? He was a foundation-building cultivator from a high-ranking Jindan clan, who could often listen to the teachings of the ancestors, but he didn't understand the true meaning?

Hearing him say this, Chen Ningtai immediately regained his warm smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it was Ningtai who overestimated his own abilities. Brother Shangguan is a dignified foundation-building cultivator of the Jindan upper clan, and his cultivation is higher than Ningtai's. How could he be injured?"

Shangguan Yuntai's face froze.

He wanted to curse, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only say coldly: "Master Ningtai, are you planning to detain my Shangguan clan members by force?"

"What are you talking about, brother?" Chen Ningtai's face was filled with astonishment and confusion. "Miss Wanqing is a good friend of my great-grandson and a distinguished guest of my Chen family. Since she came to visit my Chen family, I have never let her down in terms of food, clothing and expenses."

"Besides, she can come and go as she pleases, so how can she be detained?"

Ever since Wang Qianqian joined Chen's company, Chen Ningtai's acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and in recent years, he has shown signs of reaching perfection.

"伱!"

The old man Shangguan Yuntai almost kicked him in the face.

If Wanqing is willing to go with them, why should she waste time talking to you?

"Brother Yuntai, to be honest, it is right for you to come and take Wanqing home. I, Chen Ningtai, agree with you a thousand times." Chen Ningtai suddenly changed the subject and sighed, "Alas, who wouldn't love their own child~"

After hearing this, Shangguan Yuntai's expression eased a lot: "In this case, I'll trouble Patriarch Ningtai to persuade Wanqing."

"Of course there is no problem in persuading her to go back." Chen Ningtai said sincerely, "But Brother Yuntai has come from afar, and if you leave in a hurry without drinking a sip of tea, others will think that I, the Chen family of Cangyi, don't know etiquette."

hum.

Shangguan Yuntai sneered in his heart and thought to himself that Chen Ningtai didn't dare to break off relations with the Jindan clan, but he still wanted to curry favor with them. He probably wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of drinking tea to curry favor with them and show his utmost sincerity in an attempt to impress him.

Indeed, Chen Ningtai is indeed quite capable, and with the help of Jin Yuan Zhen Yi, he still has potential for the future.

Even though Shangguan Yuntai looked down on this small foundation-building clan in a remote place, he still felt a little envious and admiring of them in his heart.

But this is not enough.

How can a boy with five spiritual roots from such a small country clan living in a small place be worthy of the foundation-building seed of four spiritual roots?

Perhaps...if the Chen family can show enough sincerity, considering that you, Chen Ningtai, have the true intention of Jin Yuan, it would be okay to marry off a girl with five spiritual roots.

With this in mind, Shangguan Yuntai reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'm a little tired after the long journey, so let's have some tea before we go."

"Okay, okay." Chen Ningtai's face was full of joy. "It is Ningtai's honor to have tea and discuss Taoism with Brother Yuntai. It just so happens that Ningtai has just realized the true meaning of Jin Yuan, and he still has many doubts about the true meaning."

"Brother Dao is a cultivator from the upper Jindan clan. His understanding of the true meaning must be far superior to mine. If you can teach me a thing or two, Ning Tai will be very grateful."

Shangguan Yuntai's old face froze.

Chen Ningtai's words were sincere, and he was clearly trying to provoke me! If I could beat him, I would really want to kill him~!

Unfortunately, this person acted like he was willing to learn from me humbly, leaving me no reason to get angry.

Could it be that he could still shamelessly say, I don’t understand the true meaning!
If this were true, Chen Ningtai would certainly be very surprised. Although he wouldn't say anything, he would probably secretly blame him for being a living dog at his age.

Enough, enough, let’s talk about the Dao.

Anyway, he, Shangguan Yuntai, has also learned many theories of true meaning from his family ancestors, so he may be able to whitewash the situation. What's more, he also wants to hear how Chen Ningtai comprehended the true meaning.

Perhaps, this person could give him some enlightenment from a completely new perspective.

Enlightenment is an opportunity.

Once that opportunity is touched, inspiration will come in droves.

Maybe this is his chance as Shangguan Yuntai.

While he was thinking about all these things, Chen Ningtai had already arranged the tea table in the pavilion of [Qihuangyuan] and warmly invited Brother Yuntai to sit down.

Shangguan Jincheng and Chen Daoling, who arrived later, were waiting on the side to keep him company.

Both of them pricked up their ears quietly. This was a discussion between two foundation-building cultivators, and listening to it would be of great benefit to them.

As for Shangguan Wanqing's mother, she pulled her daughter into the side room to chat when she saw this. She probably wanted to ask her how far she and that kid Chen Xinyuan had gotten.

"Brother Shangguan, please don't laugh at this simple country tea." Chen Ningtai warmly served tea.

Shangguan Yuntai drank his tea calmly. After a few meaningless compliments, he eagerly started to discuss the Dao: "The Dao of True Meaning is the cultivator's exploration and understanding of the Dao of Origin. What do you think, Patriarch Ningtai?" "Brother Dao, that's a good idea."

After Chen Ningtai praised him, he casually talked about his own understanding and the materials compiled by his father as an introduction, but he was vague about the key points and did not explain them in detail.

Shangguan Yuntai was invigorated by what he said, and kept saying "That makes sense" and "That's right". When he heard him stop, he hurriedly asked, "Master Ningtai, can you elaborate on it?"

Chen Ningtai took a leisurely sip of tea.

Just as he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a wave of energy erupted in the distance.

At the same time, a young woman's voice was heard scolding: "Chen Jingyun, stop right there! Explain to me clearly what's going on between you and Zheng Lingyun?"

"Wang Qianqian, I, Chen Jingyun, have always been an open and honest person. Don't slander me with empty words."

Another young man's voice was heard shortly after, his voice was filled with anger and resentment, as if he was very aggrieved.

"If you don't explain clearly, I'll beat you until you explain clearly."

"I'm not afraid of you, I'm just giving in to you."

Amid the quarrel, a young pair who looked like a young couple chased each other and fled, and in the blink of an eye they were above Qihuangyuan.

Among them, the young man had his feet on spiritual leaves, his green robe swaying in the wind. Although he was running away, his posture was very chic and he looked indescribably handsome.

The woman was standing on a brand new kite, and she moved swiftly and nimbly, with her clothes fluttering in the wind, like a fairy dancing in the sky.

Being interrupted by them, the original discussion could not continue.

Shangguan Yuntai frowned slightly, feeling a little angry.

The Chen family is a family of established families after all. How could the young people in the family be so unruly that they dare to fly around in the main house, chasing each other and quarreling in public?

If he hadn't taken into consideration that this was someone else's home, he would have scolded these two ignorant youngsters on the spot.

He glanced at Chen Ningtai and was about to ask him to take care of the younger generation in the family when the woman's angry voice suddenly rang out in the sky again.

"Come on, come on, don't give in to me, let me see how powerful you are!"

The young woman formed a sword with her fingers, and a brilliant flame suddenly rose into the air and shot towards the man like a sharp sword.

There was an indescribable meaning contained in it, so intense that even inside the pavilion one could feel the heat.

"Huh?" Shangguan Yuntai glanced sideways, his tone surprised, "Is this the realm of fire?"

Compared with the embryonic form of the true meaning of the Great Dao, this kind of fire-based artistic conception is much shallower, but among the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, there are only a very small number of heroes with the potential for foundation building who may be able to comprehend some of it when they are in the Qi Mansion Realm.

This young woman is only at the Lingquan realm, right? She is really extraordinary.

Even among the four spiritual roots foundation seeds of the Shangguan family throughout the generations, only a very few can achieve this step in the Lingquan Realm.

At least, when Shangguan Yuntai himself was in the Lingquan realm, the middle stage of Qi Refining, he was far from comprehending the artistic conception of the Fire Element.

For a moment, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated a lot.

As outstanding young people, it is understandable that they are a little active and lively.

He couldn't help but look at the young man on the other side, feeling that the young man was probably going to be beaten.

But at this moment.

The young man seemed to be pushed into a corner and shouted angrily, "Wang Qianqian, you're going too far!"

He raised his hand and slapped his waist, and immediately a golden magic sword flew out, spinning around him and making a soft sound.

Simultaneously.

The man twisted his fingers, and a golden sword intent attached to the magic sword. The magic sword immediately burst into golden light and hit the young woman.

"Golden artistic conception?"

"A top-grade magical weapon?"

Shangguan Yuntai's expression froze.

How is this going?

This young man is only at the Lingquan realm, but he has actually comprehended the artistic conception?
And he actually has a top-grade magical weapon!
This kind of thing, even in the Jindan family, only a few outstanding young men in the Qi Refining Stage can possess it. What's wrong with this kid?

"Okay, okay, Chen Jingyun, are you finally going to kill me and marry Zheng Lingyun? I'll fight you!!" The young woman laughed angrily and threw a small bomb casually.

But because he was too excited, Xiao Lei threw the ball off target and it hit a house in the yard.

There was a "boom".

The air was filled with billowing smoke and dust, and the entire house was razed to the ground.

Shangguan Yuntai's mouth twitched.

This young couple is really fighting... Wait!!

wrong.

Wasn’t that a small thunder and fire bomb that she threw?
Although it was just a quick glance, Shangguan Yuntai was the head of the family's weapon refining hall, and his family could also refine small thunder and fire bombs, so he was naturally familiar with this little thing.

but!

What's up with this little thunder and fire bomb?

Isn’t this power a bit too big?
