Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

A restaurant in the inner and outer rings of Zhangjiaji.

The three of them sat down.

"This restaurant is the most authentic, especially the snow-flake chicken, which is fat but not greasy, delicious, and full of spiritual energy. It is the signature dish of this restaurant." The old oily head introduced excitedly.

"Then let's have a plate of snow-flake chicken, and other meat and spiritual vegetables should also be served." Zhang Yuhuai said to the store owner.

"And wine, this Lao San Shao, a first-level medium-grade spiritual wine, that authentic, just thinking about it makes people drool." The old oily head said with a smile.

"Then let's have a bottle of Lao San Shao." Zhang Yuhuai said.

"One bottle is not enough, at least one bottle per person." The old oily head said with his eyes wide open.

"Then let's have three bottles." Zhang Yuhuai waved to the store owner and said.

"Okay." The store owner immediately took back the menu ordered by the diners.

After a while, a plate of steaming snow-flake chicken was served.

"This time..." Zhang Yuhuai said slowly.

The old oily head directly pulled off the two legs of the snow-flake chicken, ate one himself, and handed the other chicken leg to Zhang Xuan.

"Eat quickly, the clan leader is treating us today, I missed it..."

The old oily head tore off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, eating until his mouth was full of oil.

Zhang Yuhuai frowned and said, "I came here this time..."

"I know why you came, the remains of the ancestor witch."

The old oily head ate and talked, and soon a chicken leg went into his stomach, and he tore off another piece with his bare hands.

"Since you know the purpose of my coming, then..."

"Let's talk after we finish eating."

The old oily head simply held the whole snow-flake chicken in his arms and ate it.

"Hehe, Lao San Shao is here..."

The old oily head was quick-witted and took a bottle of Lao San Shao in his hand and poured it into his mouth.

"Ah-good wine, the spiritual energy is mellow and fiery, this is the taste..."

Then, under the surprised gaze of the two, the old oily head stuffed a table of food into his stomach like a whirlwind.

Zhang Xuan even ate a chicken leg, and the clan leader didn't even move his chopsticks.

"Uh..." The old oily head burped, "Do you two want to drink Lao San Shao?"

The two passed the wine over.

The old oily head was not polite at all, grabbed a bottle of Lao San Shao and drank it directly.

He didn't waste the other bottle of Lao San Shao, and put it into his wine gourd.

"Zhang Jianqiu, can we talk about business now?" Zhang Yuhuai said solemnly.

"What... business, crooked business, isn't eating... drinking business?" The old oily head said drunkenly.

"I want you to enter the ancient witch ruins again. If you have any requirements, you can ask."

"I want... I want your position as clan leader. I wonder... I wonder if the clan leader is willing to give it up?"

"I'm serious, I'm not kidding you."

The old oily head lay down on the chair, half-closed his eyes and said, "I'm serious too."

Zhang Yuhuai looked at the old oily head in front of him with eyes as deep as the sea.

"If you want, you can take it now." Zhang Yuhuai said in a low voice.

"I was joking with the clan leader, hehe... why are you serious, hahaha..." The old oily man seemed to find it very interesting and laughed out loud.

"The envoy of the upper sect will arrive at Fairy Cat Valley in more than a month. If we can't produce a third-level spiritual object by then, our Zhang family will be expelled from Fairy Cat Valley." Zhang Yuhuai frowned and said.

"Then let's go. People can live in other places. I remember that the chief drove my Qiangzhi out of the inner ring. We had to live, and I am still alive and well."

"You are still blaming me."

"I am just a casual cultivator in the outer ring. How dare I blame the chief?"

"What will it take for you to go?"

"At that time, my Qiangzhi was driven to the outer ring and was excluded and suppressed by other Qiangzhi. We had to move away from the Fairy Cat Valley. Who knew that we were attacked and killed on the way and forced to flee to the ruins of the ancestor witch. I was the only one who came out alive."

Zhang Yuhuai looked confused and surprised: "Why didn't you tell me these things earlier? I didn't know anything."

"Hahaha..." The old oily head laughed loudly, "Chief, you are obsessed."

"The people who attacked your Qiangzhi were not arranged by me. I swear." Zhang Yuhuai said with bulging veins.

"Is there any difference?" The old oily head said lightly.

"What do you want, revenge?"

"I'm just a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, and the clan leader is a great cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. How can I take revenge?"

Zhang Yuhuai stood up, his face livid, and turned to leave the restaurant.

"Wait--" the old oily head shouted a word, "There's still money for the meal."

Zhang Xuan hurried forward and said, "I'll pay for the meal."

As he said that, Zhang Xuan took out 100 spirit stones.

The old oily head whispered to Zhang Xuan, "Little Taoist friend, how many spirit stones do you earn by killing a monster outside? This is a good time to kill the rich, why do you need to pay for the spirit stones?"

"Hmph..."

Zhang Yuhuai snorted coldly, threw a hundred spirit stones on the table, and was about to leave.

"Wait--" the old oily head shouted again.

"Aren't the spirit stones already on the table?" Zhang Yuhuai said coldly.

"Didn't you invite me to the Ancestral Witch Ruins?"

"Yes... did you agree?" Zhang Yuhuai was stunned again.

"I won't agree."

"Why did you mention that if you don't agree?"

"I think it's very interesting, hahaha..."

"You are so stubborn!"

"If you are willing to give me the position of patriarch, I can go there."

"I said, if you want the position of patriarch, I can give it to you now."

"I don't want the charity of others. I want to take the position of clan leader myself."

"Then you come and take it. No matter how difficult the past fifty years, you have been holding on to the sea of ​​​​divine energy and refused to transform into a mortal, maintaining the first level of Qi Refining. Isn't it just to defeat me? Draw your sword now!" Zhang Yuhuai shouted loudly.

At this time, the diners around had already retreated in panic.

The eight clan elders heard the news and had gathered here.

The inside and outside were surrounded by strong branches.

"Clan leader, Zhang Jianqiu is the only one who has entered the secret realm of the ancestor witch. It is of great importance and cannot be killed!" Zhang Meng on the side advised.

"He is just a useless person with a broken dantian. Why should the clan leader be on the same level with him?" Zhang Xingshan also advised.

The old oily man was picking his earwax, wrinkling his nose and said: "Why do I hear this so harshly? It seems that I will lose."

Zhang Xuan quickly grabbed the old oily man: "Old oily man, you drank too much today, talk less!"

"Little Taoist friend, you are probably the ten clan leaders who have risen recently? I didn't see at that time that you would have such an opportunity." The old oily man said with a smile.

"Zhang Jianqiu, what do you want? It was you who voluntarily gave up the position of clan leader back then." Zhang Yuhuai said.

Everyone was shocked again when they heard Zhang Yuhuai's words.

Originally, everyone only knew that two top geniuses who had comprehended the sword in front of the sword wall competed for the position of clan leader, and one of them was defeated and expelled.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Jianqiu who voluntarily gave up.
