Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 95: Xuanmo Spirit Sword is promoted! The soul is more powerful
……

For a moment, Chen Xuanmo was a little confused.

From the first time he absorbed purple energy, Chen Xuanmo actually discovered that the purple energy had a tempering effect on the Xuanmo Spirit Sword. Every time the purple energy was gathered, the quality of the sword improved slightly, but it was still far from being promoted to a top-grade sword.

There is still a big gap between it and the top grade.

How did you get promoted suddenly?

As the Xuanmo Spirit Sword was promoted, Chen Xuanmo felt that his heroic spirit state was also improving. His perception range gradually became farther and clearer~~
It didn't take long.

The flowing light on the surface of the Xuan Mo Ling Sword dissipated, the purple energy gathered in the lucky bead, and everything returned to calm.

However, Chen Xuanmo could clearly feel that the Xuanmo Spirit Sword exuded a stronger sharpness, which was much stronger than before.

Of course, it is still in the category of mid-grade spiritual weapon and has not yet been promoted to high-grade. Judging from Chen Xuanmo's senses, it should be in the middle of the mid-grade range.

The promotion speed is a bit slow.

But Chen Xuanmo was already very satisfied. After all, the grade of most spiritual weapons was determined at the beginning of forging, and it was only possible to upgrade the grade in very rare cases, such as blood sacrifice.

Moreover, Chen Xuanmo has every reason to believe that as the income from purple energy increases every year in the future, his promotion speed will gradually accelerate, and his heroic spirit will gradually become stronger, and perhaps one day he will really be able to live again!
After absorbing all the purple energy, Chen Xuanmo counted his harvest. A total of 256 strands of purple energy made him very happy, which was a significant increase compared to the last time.

He observed the situation in the ancestral hall and found that the cultivation levels of the clan members had increased significantly. Even the daughters-in-law, whose cultivation levels had hardly changed before, had increased a lot.

It should be the attack by the Blood Deacon that made them feel the crisis. They have been practicing very hard in the past two years, and their cultivation has made breakthroughs one after another, which has led to the increase of purple energy.

Su Yuanbai's cultivation has also advanced to the high level of the Condensation Realm in the Foundation Establishment Period. The increase in purple energy this time must be related to him.

This made Chen Xuanmo even more satisfied with this "adopted son".

Afterwards, while Chen Ningtai was still performing the complicated sacrificial ceremony, Chen Xuanmo broke away from the lucky beads and went out for a walk.

After some tests, he found that the range of his distance from the Xuan Mo Ling Sword had suddenly expanded from ten miles to fifteen miles.

He also thought carefully and calculated that the total amount of purple energy he had gathered from the first time he absorbed it to the present day should be around three thousand strands.

Then, based on a reasonable inference, would the opportunity for the Xuan Mo Ling Sword to be promoted to the upper mid-grade level be when the total amount of purple energy reaches six thousand strands?
If the total amount of purple energy absorbed reaches 10,000 points, can the Xuanmo Lingjian be upgraded to a top-grade sword?

He felt that this inference was very reasonable. Even if there was a deviation, it might only be a difference of one or two thousand total amounts of purple qi.

As a result, Chen Xuanmo became more and more looking forward to the harvest of purple energy every year.

After returning to the ancestral hall, Chen Ningtai continued the ceremony slowly...

Okay~

Chen Xuanmo had no choice but to focus his attention on Chen Jinghuan and Yang Yuling, or to be more precise, on the baby in Yuling's arms.

There is a custom in the family now that when holding a baby for sacrifice, a boy is swaddled in a plain color and a girl is swaddled in a colorful color. This is a rule set by Chen Ningtai. The purpose is to allow the old father to see the gender of the child at a glance and to think of a name in advance.

This baby is wrapped in a plain swaddling cloth, so it is naturally a boy.

Chen Xuanmo consumed a trace of purple energy and began to check the results of his [Golden Mark].

This gave him the excitement of opening a blind box.

His eyes glowed with a faint purple light, and through the baby's skin, flesh and bones, he could see directly into his essence.

Faintly, four faint lights appeared in Chen Xuanmo's eyes. They were four colors of gold, blue, green and red. It was very obvious that these were the four spiritual roots of gold, water, wood and fire.

Just four spiritual roots?
Chen Xuanmo was a little dazed.

I thought that after a golden mark was left, Jing Huan and Yu Ling’s child would not have three spiritual roots, but at least a mutant spiritual root of the four spiritual roots level, right?

He looked carefully again, afraid that he had missed something.

Then he looked left and right, over and over again, and it was still a four spiritual roots. If there was anything special about it, it was that the water spiritual root was slightly higher than the other three spiritual roots, which was somewhat similar to the slight advantage that Chen Xinsong had in the wood spiritual root.

It shouldn't be.

Chen Xuanmo was puzzled.

When Jingrui and Peilian were first tested on having a baby, they were only given a [Purple Mark], and then they gave birth to Chen Xinsong, who had the advantage of the Wood Element and had four spiritual roots. You should know that Jingrui and Peilian both had only five spiritual roots.

There was also the eldest great-great-grandson Chen Xinyuan and Shangguan Wanqing eight years ago. The couple had five spiritual roots and four spiritual roots respectively. With a [Golden Mark], they gave birth to Chen Xiuyang, who had a wind-like mutant spiritual root.

But now, the two four spiritual roots combined with the golden mark only produced an ordinary four spiritual root, which made Chen Xuanmo somewhat disappointed.

He pondered over the difference, and suddenly remembered the so-called first-draw mode when he played the card drawing game in his previous life!
In order to lure players into the game and develop a habit of drawing cards, unscrupulous game companies often set up settings that guarantee a win or a purple card on the first draw.

From this point of view, the time when Jingrui and Peilian triggered the first-draw burst effect of the [Purple Mark] in terms of conceiving offspring, while the time when Xinyuan and Wanqing triggered the first-draw effect of the golden mark!
They all belong to SR or SSR!

The current situation may be the normal effect of the golden mark in conceiving offspring.

The mechanism behind this may be more complicated than I initially thought.

Ok.

Chen Xuanmo was completely speechless.

What on earth is purple qi? He actually played this trick on me.

That would be fine, but why make it so complicated? At least explain the card draw rate and guarantee to me clearly. I have to figure it out on my own, how long will it take me to figure it out?

After mumbling for a long time, Chen Xuanmo finally accepted this fact.

Four spiritual roots, so be it~

After all, it was because I had eaten too many delicacies from land and sea before that my expectations were raised invisibly, which is why I felt that the four spiritual roots were ordinary.

But for a family of immortal cultivators like theirs at the foundation-building stage, having a person with four spiritual roots is actually a happy event.

Wait until the sacrifice is over.

Then he went to Moxiang Pavilion to work and listen to Chen Ningtai's report.

As soon as he came up, Chen Ningtai asked: "Father, what is the spiritual root of Jing Huan and Yu Ling's child? What name should be given?"

"Fourth, water is slightly stronger, Chen Xintao."

Chen Xuanmo wrote down quickly.

Chen Ningtai was also slightly stunned, but he turned around and left Moxiang Pavilion first, and said to Jing Huan and Yu Ling who were waiting outside: "Grandpa used the [Ancestral Divination Method] to divine, and our child's four spiritual roots are slightly stronger in the water element, so he was named [Tao]."

Only a few people in the family know about the existence of the heroic spirit of the ancestor, including Chen Ningtai and his son, Jing Yun and his wife, and Chen Ningzhuo. As for Jing Peng, Xin Yuan, and Zhao Mengyan, who are the eldest descendants, they are half unaware of the existence of the heroic spirit of the ancestor, and most of them think that this is a ceremony to speak to the ancestor.

It's not that Chen Xuanmo or Chen Ningtai don't trust their clansmen, it's just that there are many people and many things gossips, and it wouldn't be a good thing for them to know. Therefore, the family made up some specious rhetoric such as [Ancestor Divination Method], [Ancestor Dream Method], [Pray for Ancestor's Blessing Method], etc.

Even if it is accidentally spread, others will not care.

Among the immortal cultivation families, who doesn’t worship and respect their ancestors? Every family has their own strange rules and ceremonies, and each family is different.

Even the Yunyang Sect and other immortal cultivation sects also worship their ancestors ~ and the way of worship is different from that of Wanhua Palace and Wuhen Mountain.

After being in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time, I have become accustomed to this situation.

After hearing this, Chen Jinghuan and Yang Yuling's faces immediately lit up with joy, and their original anxiety also disappeared.

Chen Jinghuan looked at his son in the cradle with joy: "Tao'er is still outstanding in water skills. In the future, he can follow his wife to practice [Xuanshui Yangyuan Gong] or [Canglong Jue]."

For a couple with four spiritual roots, under normal circumstances, the child they give birth to is most likely to have five spiritual roots. If they are very unlucky, it is normal to have a child without any spiritual roots. It is naturally a happy event for the first child to have four spiritual roots.

The family now has three water-based foundation-building methods, which are the most abundant and can be chosen by people.

“It is better to practice Xuanshui Yangyuan Gong first. This technique is easy to get started with and not prone to mistakes when practicing. Once you have a solid foundation, you can switch to Canglong Jue at any time if necessary.” Yang Yuling’s eyes were also full of tenderness and happiness.

A child's spiritual roots won't truly show up until he's eight years old, and only then can he practice exercises to draw Qi into the body. Now they are just having a beautiful prospect.

When Chen Xuanmo saw this scene through the window of Moxiang Pavilion, he completely let go of his disappointment.

Yes, the golden mark can guarantee them a child with four spiritual roots, which is actually a profit.

After all, there are two and a half golden marks in a year now. If each of them can produce a mutated spiritual root or three spiritual roots, that would be outrageous!

However, this incident also served as a warning to Chen Xuanmo. If he managed to accumulate 1000 strands of purple energy one day, perhaps the mark would undergo another transformation. He had to pay attention to the timing of using it during the first draw and not use it casually!
At present, Jingyun and Qianqian have been reluctant to have a second child. They are probably afraid of being bothered by Tuantuan. Also, Qianqian has been busy practicing to build her foundation and studying weapon refining techniques recently. She is very busy and is reluctant to have a baby.

However, Jingyun has the talent for foundation building, while Qianqian has the talent for golden elixir, so it doesn't matter if they have a baby later. Chen Xuanmo thinks that the first draw of the mark of 1000 strands of purple energy should be given to Jingyun and Qianqian.

It's not that he's partial.

But Qianqian originally had the talent of three spiritual roots. She had a high starting point, so she could easily develop three spiritual roots. If she was blessed with the first draw of the Thousand Silk Mark, she might be able to develop into a super genius with two spiritual roots.

When the time comes, just throw the child in the face of old monster Ziyin and force him to hand over the power of Yunyang Sect.

Chen Xuanmo felt very happy just thinking about this result.

Of course, it is not easy to accumulate 1000 strands of purple energy. Currently, he only has a total of 413 strands of purple energy, which is just something he can think about.

After Chen Ningtai sent Jing Huan and his wife away, he began to report the second important matter.

"Father, Xiuyang is already eight years old this year, it's time to draw Qi into his body." Chen Ningtai said calmly, "The last time Shangguan Yuntai came to visit our house, he mentioned that they found a way to buy a popular top-notch wild method [Xunfeng Tornado Art] in another country. The price was 6300 spirit stones, but the Shangguan family asked our two families to pay half of the cost."

"I felt that this was much more cost-effective than going to the sect to exchange for superior wild techniques, so I agreed on my own initiative."

The family’s funds are not abundant now, but we can still squeeze out more than 3,000 spirit stones.

Moreover, they had already inquired about it in the sect before, and found out that this kind of popular and superior wild method is relatively rare. The sect asked for two merits and 6000 contribution points for it, which was simply outrageous!
Chen Xuanmo was quite suspicious that the guys in the sect's [Merit Hall] just randomly decided on the exchange price and merit rewards on the spur of the moment, just whatever they thought of.

Just like the last time, when he finally killed the Blood Deacon, he was awarded three merits and 9000 contribution points. That guy was much more important and difficult to deal with than the three Blood Guards.

As for the [Xunfeng Tornado Art] and half of the Shangguan family, Chen Xuanmo certainly wouldn't mind. After all, Xiuyang's surname was Chen and he was a descendant of the Chen family, so it was naturally impossible for him to be so stingy.

Moreover, Chen Xuanmo was still thinking about exchanging the [Five Elements Formation]. He wanted to save as much as possible on sect merits and contribution points, otherwise it would be too uneconomical to recharge spirit stones on the spot.

The Chen family had previously spent a large sum of spirit stones on Tuantuan's apprenticeship. In order to deal with the attack of the Blood Deacon, the family used all means and burned a large amount of spirit stones. Now the funds in stock are not sufficient.

However, it can also be seen from this point that an old-fashioned Jindan clan does have a lot of connections and can even find ways abroad.

It seems that Chen still has a long way to go in the future!
Finished the repair work.

Chen Ningzhuo began to report the sect's events again: "Father, Peak Master Zhongli came out of seclusion and improved his cultivation. He took the initiative to summon Huan'er. After a test, he accepted Huan'er as his first personal disciple. I think the Peak Master has finally come to his senses and decided to reconcile with our family."

Chen Xuanmo was stunned for a moment, then he sneered in his heart.

He hadn't figured it out at all. He was probably just jealous that Tuantuan became Master Xuanyang's disciple, and felt that if he didn't work harder, he would lose the support of his senior brother's descendants.

It is not easy to be the leader of a peak, especially for a young leader who has just taken office. There are many cases where the noble families under his command are respectful on the surface but secretly disobey the order, so the government orders may not be implemented smoothly.

The Chen family should have been one of the largest aristocratic families under his command.

Humph, you little brat Zhongli Ye, it’s all thanks to me that I raised you from scratch, and acted like a father, mother, and brother to you.

It’s a pity that I always bring you with me every time I go to Baihua Valley to see the beautiful senior sisters. This guy is just an ungrateful person.

Seeing their father remain silent, the brothers Chen Ningtai and Chen Ningzhuo looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.

It seems that Zhongli Ye has reconciled.

But dad hasn't reconciled yet and is still angry with Zhong Li Ye.

Still need to work harder~

From this point, it can be seen that the gifts given to Zhong Liye were the result of private discussions between the two brothers, and they obviously kept it a secret from their father!

Chen Ningzhuo quickly changed the subject and said, "Father, with the rampage of the Blood Soul Cult, the people of all families in the Great Wu are in a panic, and those monsters who usually hide have also emerged one after another. Now, the wanted criminals on the blacklist are committing crimes rampantly in all counties."

"Not long ago, a vicious case occurred in the Northern Six Guards of Hedong County. The victim was the Foundation Establishment Patriarch of the Lishui Li Clan. When his body was found, it was poisoned and decayed. His chest was cut open and his heart was missing. Judging from the method of committing the crime, it is very similar to that of the Poison Shadow Demon Queen, who is ranked ninth on the blacklist."

Poison Shadow Enchantress?

All kinds of monsters and demons are emerging?
Chen Xuanmo frowned, but then his eyes gradually brightened up again.

Some of these monsters and demons may have seen the chaotic situation and could not help but come out to stir up trouble. But isn't it also possible that the Blood Soul Cult is secretly instigating and deliberately disrupting the situation in the Great Wu Kingdom so that they can hide better and plan the next wave of conspiracy?
"Father, I heard that the Hedong Cui family sent several foundation-building elders to investigate, but they found nothing in the end. It seemed like the Poison Shadow Demon Queen disappeared out of thin air after committing the crime." Chen Ningtai also added.

It's normal to get nothing.

Chen Xuanmo had thought about offering a bounty on the blacklist before, so he knew very well that the longer those guys on the blacklist were on the blacklist, the more perverted and difficult to deal with they became. Otherwise, they would have been caught by the major families and chopped into pieces, and their heads would have been chopped off to collect the bounty.

Chen Xuanmo knew this Poison Shadow Enchantress.

In the sect's blacklist, her head was worth three merits and 10000 contribution points. In addition, some of the victimized families also put together a reward of more than 6000 spirit stones.

If we could capture her alive or kill her, wouldn't that be a huge profit?
Maybe, we can dig out some dirt and catch the Blood Soul Cult's tail.

The more Chen Xuanmo thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. It might not be easy for others to deal with these wanted criminals on the blacklist, but he, Chen Xuanmo, could do it!
If they don't come out to cause trouble, there's nothing we can do about them.

Now, it gives Chen Xuanmo hope to exchange the Five Elements Formation!
