Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Henry Zhang entered Cao’s house directly.

More than twenty years have passed since I left here.

He really let him meet an old servant of the Cao family.

The old servant was also shocked when he saw Henry Zhang.

"Are you...are you Senior Zhang?! Haven't you already escaped from the underground mine with the head of the family and others?"

Seeing the surprised look on the old servant's face, Henry Zhang said: "My crimes have been pardoned by the Holy Land. This time I came here secretly through the secret passage. How have you been doing these years?"

"Alas," the old servant sighed, "It's hard to explain in words!"

"It seems to me that the Cao family manor has become a little bigger. After the upper-class monks of the Cao family leave, they should be able to live well, right?"

"It was indeed okay at the beginning. The remaining members of the Cao family united the forces of the eight families, and it turned out that the guard at the mine entrance had not come to collect taxes for several years. The accumulation of the Cao family was further enriched, and a new financial fund even appeared. Brother Dan, yes Later, the tribe that originally guarded Que Haochen took over the underground mine again. Not only did they re-collect taxes, but they also had to pay the taxes owed in previous years. In order to make up for the owed taxes, even the Cao family monks had to take turns entering the mine to mine. , many people died.”

"The current head of the Cao family is..."

"The current head of the family is a branch of the original Cao family, named Cao Yin. When the upper-level monks of the Cao family left, he was already at the peak of foundation building. However, because he was older, he stayed. Later, he came to Shouyuan Before the end, he took the risk to break through the golden elixir, but he didn't expect it to succeed. "

"This is indeed a great blessing."

Henry Zhang couldn’t help but sigh.

You know, the older a monk gets, the slimmer the hope of a breakthrough.

And Cao Yin was able to break through the golden elixir before the end of his longevity, which can be regarded as a person with great luck.

"I will take senior to see the master of the house right away. The master of the house will be very happy." The old servant said excitedly.

"good."

Soon, Henry Zhang met the new head of the Cao family.

"Senior..." Cao Yin was extremely excited to see the former top alchemist return to this underground mine.

After all, it was with the help of this senior that the monks of the Cao family were able to leave this underground mine.

"How is the situation of the Cao family now?" Henry Zhang asked.

Cao Yin shook his head and said: "It's not very ideal. Now there are only 8 mines left in this mine. They have been losing money for years. The Shouquehao family is even more desperate. The life of the underground mining slaves is getting worse day by day. There are a large number of mining slaves every year. Died in the mine due to overload.”

"This Hao family is really hateful!"

"Yes, just a few years after Senior left, there was news that Senior had been amnesty. However, the Hao family could not find any trace of Senior in the underground mine. Most likely, they believed that Senior had died in the underground mine. But in order to serve the Holy Land, another person was released disguised as a senior..."

"Well, I understand."

At this time, the expression on Henry Zhang’s face was wonderful.

Ten years of experience in underground mines is an important part of his past experience.

He mysteriously disappeared from the underground mine and returned to the Holy Land decades later.

Why hasn’t the Holy Land asked?

Henry Zhang also felt very strange.

Now everything is figured out.

It turned out that the Hao family had falsely reported to the Holy Land and had released him.

Naturally, there will be no doubt in that Holy Land.

As for him, the elder of the ten clans of an unknown force, it is estimated that the Hao family has completely forgotten about it now.

Despite this, Henry Zhang decided to have as little contact with the Hao family as possible in the future.

To prevent your own affairs from being exposed.

"I remember that there used to be a lot of mines in this mine. Why are there only 8 left now?" Henry Zhang was still puzzled.

"The Divine Wing Blood Ore in the mine is not endless. In the years before the Shouque control, our Cao family used a large number of puppets to mine these Divine Wing Blood Ore. We mined day and night to accumulate information. Many of the mine entrances The Divine Wing Blood Mine was hollowed out at that time.”

"Can't we find a new mine?"

"The underground space is so vast that it is not easy to find a new mine entrance around this mine. Whether you can find a new mine entrance depends purely on the weather. Sometimes you can find it during the mining process. New mine openings, sometimes even with all the efforts, you may not be able to find a new mine opening.”

"How many monks are there in the Cao family now?"

"The Cao family monks have integrated all the original seven families. They are the largest and only powerful force in this mine. However, there are currently 150 Qi Refining monks, 22 Foundation-building monks, and 5 Golden Pill monks left."

"As far as I know, aren't you the only golden elixir cultivator in the Cao family? Are there others in the Cao family who have also broken through the golden elixir in recent years?"

"That's not true. In recent years, four gold elixir mining slaves have married into my Cao family, so there are five gold elixirs."

"Well..." Henry Zhang understood.

In this underground mine, there are not only the Cao family, but also a large number of mining slaves.

And a large part of these mine slaves have Jindan cultivation.

The Cao family is the leader of this underground mine, so it's not surprising that they can recruit a few golden elixir monks to join the battle.

"However, with the current high-load mining, not only the remaining 8 mine mouths are almost exhausted of the Divine Wing Blood Ore, but many of the monks in my Cao family are now infected by the evil spirit of the Five Elements, and their life spans are greatly reduced. It is estimated that they will not live past a hundred years. , my Cao family and this underground mine disappeared completely."

As Cao Yin said this, he felt sad for a moment, his eyes were red and he was about to shed tears.

After hearing this, Henry Zhang rummaged through his storage ring and took out dozens of jade bottles.

"All of these are Qingsha Pills, which should be able to alleviate the severe situation that the Cao family is currently facing."

"Qingsha Pills?!"

Cao Yin was surprised and delighted.

Originally, when the high-level cultivators of the Cao family left, they left them a batch of Qingsha Pills.

But those Qingsha Pills were used up more than ten years ago.

And the legendary alchemist in front of him actually took out dozens of bottles of Qingsha Pills in one breath.

This scene was a bit unreal, like a dream.

Cao Yin was stunned for a moment, excitedly took the jade bottle, and knelt directly in front of Zhang Xuan and said: "Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!"

"Please stand up quickly," Zhang Xuan helped the other party up, "Please be patient for a while, I will think of a way to see if I can completely solve the problem that your Cao family is facing now."

"Thank you, senior," Cao Yin seemed to think of something, and took out a storage bag, "Senior, this is some of the accumulation of my Cao family over the past few decades, please be sure to accept it."

Zhang Xuan looked at the storage bag in Cao Yin's hand.

The Hao family squeezed the underground mine.

It's obvious that these things must have been saved by the Cao family.

However, Zhang Xuan still took the storage bag.

"You guys should be patient for a while, and don't tell anyone about my coming here." Zhang Xuan instructed again.

"Don't worry, senior, my Cao family will keep it a secret."
