Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 224 A wasted trip? A unique opportunity!

"May I ask your name, young friend?"

"I am Xu Mingxian, a disciple of the Xu family of the Great Wei Dynasty," Xu Mingxian replied, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Xu's array formations are profound. Even I didn't realize it was an illusion array the instant the yellow mist surged. Could it be that you have encountered such array formations before?"

"I once saw something similar in an ancient book."

The cultivator surnamed Xiang nodded and looked around, saying, "Are there any fellow cultivators who know formations? We can join forces to break the formation. If we can't break it, then we'll have to head back today."

Everyone frowned.

Xu Mingxian looked at the person next to the old man from the Cao family and said, "I think this fellow Daoist knows formations, but I don't know why he is hiding them."

The rest all looked over.

The old man from the Cao family had a slightly pale face and said indifferently, "Young friend Xu, you guessed wrong. This time we were in a hurry, and we thought that we could break through the defensive formation as usual with everyone's combined efforts."

Otherwise, why wouldn't the Sima and Liu families have left their clans without their own formation masters?

"Perhaps the boy guessed wrong."

The cultivator surnamed Xiang smiled slightly, "Then, Fellow Daoist Xu, it will be just the two of us who go and take a look. If we cannot solve it, we will have to give up."

Xu Chuan nodded to Xu Mingxian.

He then went with the cultivator surnamed Xiang to the edge of the yellow mist to investigate carefully, and even went back into the yellow mist.

Many people gazed at the yellow mist enveloping Xuan Yue Peak, lost in thought.

The ancient cultivator's cave dwelling here must be quite extraordinary to have such a mysterious illusion array as a defensive barrier.

It may not be the typical cave dwelling of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.

They also hoped that this was a Golden Core Cave, because if it were true, their gains would certainly be substantial.

The old man from the Cao family said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you are very well prepared, even bringing your own formation master. But if he were to accidentally perish here, I'm afraid your Xu family would not be able to withstand such a blow."

"Thank you for your concern, senior." Xu Chuan cupped his hands and said, "Actually, I am very curious about which family discovered this cave and spread the news."

They should know the power of this formation; they should have brought a formation master with them.

Upon hearing this, both the Sima and Liu families wore cold smiles.

They didn't believe Xu Mingxian would say such a thing for no reason. As a master of formations, he would naturally be more perceptive of formation masters than ordinary people.

But after Xu Chuan explained it this way...

They immediately realized that the news came from the Cao family.

However, even if the Cao family has a plan to deal with them, it depends on whether the Cao family can swallow it up.

A quarter of an hour later.

The two flew out of the yellow mist.

The cultivator surnamed Xiang said, "This formation is not only a sophisticated illusion formation, but also contains a killing formation. It is a set of illusion-killing formations, which is extremely dangerous."

Fortunately, we got out of the illusion array in advance.

If the killing formation were to activate while they were still trapped in the illusion of inner demons, many of the fellow cultivators present would likely perish on the spot.

Everyone's expression changed, turning as cold as iron.

Looking towards the Cao family, they dared not speak out against their anger.

The old man from the Cao family pretended not to see it, but cursed inwardly.

A golden opportunity to weaken the foundation-building families of Wei and the powerful families of Liang and Jin has been ruined.

As the first discoverers, the Cao family naturally knew how powerful this formation was.

It even cost the life of a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

As for what lies behind this grand formation, the Cao family has no idea.

However, just in case, they brought along a formation master.

The old man from the Liu family looked at the cultivator surnamed Xiang and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiang, is this formation possibly broken?"

"Yes, but there will be sacrifices!" the cultivator surnamed Xiang said. "This method was proposed by Fellow Daoist Xu, so let's have him explain it."

Xu Mingxian said calmly, "I have mastered a kind of formation. If there are intact formation flags, I can break the formation. But now I can only use the top-level magic artifacts of the four elements of wood, metal, fire and water as the formation eyes."

While it won't destroy the magical artifact, it will reduce its power by 30-40%.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The cost of reducing the power of magical artifacts by 30-40% is something that ordinary Foundation Establishment families simply cannot afford.

"Why not allow the fellow Daoists who provided top-tier magical artifacts and those who broke the formation to have priority in choosing a specific type of item from the cave?"

If he has one, it belongs to him; if he doesn't, then he's out of luck.

"A specific type of item?" asked the Lei family elder at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, in surprise.

"For example, my son Xu Mingxian wants items related to array formations. If there are any in the cave, let him choose one or a book first."

Others can choose top-tier magical artifacts, elixirs, demon beast cores, spiritual herbs, and so on.

Although there's an element of gambling involved, it's undeniably tempting.

Especially those families who were confident in protecting their possessions wanted to try.

At this moment, Xu Chuan said again: "Great Wei, Great Liang and Great Jin should each choose one person, and the remaining one will temporarily belong to Great Wei, since the formation master who breaks the formation comes from Great Wei."

Of course, if no one in our Great Wei is willing to contribute or possesses a magic weapon with the corresponding attributes, then it will be given to someone else.

The elders from the three great Golden Core families pondered for a moment upon hearing this and felt that this method was fair.

"My Cao family will first offer a top-tier gold-type flying sword in exchange for a magical artifact from the cave."

The old man from the Cao family glanced at a middle-aged man surnamed Cao beside him. The man sighed inwardly, but did not hesitate for long. He patted his storage bag, and a golden flying sword flew out from it.

"My Liu family possesses a water-based flying sword, and we desire a spiritual herb from the cave!"

"My Sima family offers a fire-type flying sword, and we need a refining material from the cave!"

The remaining top-tier wood-type magical artifacts.

The people of Dawei looked at each other, and finally one of the Lin family members said, "My Lin family will provide the remaining wood-type flying swords!"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "My Xu family is breaking the formation, so my Xu family must first select the classic texts on formations."

"Furthermore, everyone must swear an oath that no one shall forcibly rob in the cave. In order to ensure that those who contribute to breaking the formation can obtain the items they want, the rest shall not keep anything for themselves."

Otherwise, if any fellow Daoist secretly hides precious spiritual herbs or accidentally obtains a magical artifact, then our five families will suffer a great loss.

Outside the cave, everyone relies on their own methods.

If you're not confident, don't be greedy.

Everyone pondered upon hearing this.

In this way, at least it is safe inside the cave.

As for leaving the cave, if one is not greedy, one can indeed save their life.

It's much better than the almost ruleless fighting of the past.

Many powerful families in Wei immediately agreed, as did those in Liang. Although Jin wanted to act without restraint, it faced the combined forces of Liang and Wei.

They gained nothing from the agreement and had no choice but to agree.

Once outside the cave, you can still rob or kill as you please.

Those who contributed the ritual implements severed their connection with them to prevent damage to the implements and thus to their own mental well-being.

Xu Mingxian took the magical artifact and went to break the formation.

The monk surnamed Xiang followed and observed.

Xu Chuan inquired about the time it would take for Xu Mingxian to break the formation; it was approximately one day.

Everyone rested nearby for a while.

The next day.

It's just past midnight.

Xu Chuan then began to consult the oracle.

What is the fortune of today?

[Today's divination: Neutral; no gains today.]

"No results?!"

Xu Chuan was shocked. "This shouldn't be happening!"

The defensive formation was an extremely sophisticated trapping and killing formation, and the cave owner must have at least reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage; this was almost a consensus among those present.

Some people even think it might be the Golden Elixir Cave.

"We don't have enough information. Let's break through the formation first and then see what happens."

Half a day later.

Four beams of light shot into the sky, and the yellow mist gradually dissipated.

Everyone gathered together.

"Everyone, the formation has been broken!" Xu Mingxian returned to Xu Chuan's side.

When the yellow fog completely dissipated.

Everyone immediately began searching for the location of its cave.

Soon.

They then found the Xuan Yue Cave.

In front of the cave, there is a stone tablet with blurry characters, the only ones that can be vaguely seen are the two characters "Xuan Yue".

No one paid much attention.

Because they soon discovered that there was another layer of array light screen in front of the cave.

The cultivator surnamed Xiang examined it and said calmly, "It's a second-tier high-grade defensive formation."

"Then let's break it by force!" the old man from the Liu family said calmly.

"it is good!"

Both the Cao and Sima families agreed.

The three parties immediately took action.

next moment.

This second-tier high-grade defensive formation was directly blasted apart.

"There's an illusion array outside, and a second-tier high-grade array in front of the cave. Why does the divination indicate no gain?"

After entering.

Xu Chuan finally understood.

This was just a very small, temporary cave dwelling, and it was completely empty inside.

Everyone was greatly disappointed.

The old man from the Liu family said, "No one has entered this cave for at least a thousand years. It's either a fake cave or they've already moved away."

The fifth elder of the Zhao family pondered, "If they are moving away, why leave behind an array of such high quality?"

"Yes, even if it's a fake cave, there should at least be something left behind. It's so clean, it's like it was taken away a long time ago."

The old man from the Cao family was also greatly puzzled.

"Perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye; ancient cultivators often like to create mystique!" said the elder of the Sima family. "Let's go and explore other parts of the mountain."

The old man Sima left with the rest of the Sima family cultivators.

Then, everyone else dispersed.

More than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators searched carefully for an entire day, but found nothing.

"The divination was quite accurate."

Xu Chuan silently complained, he had also thought there might be some mystery somewhere on this peak.

"What a wasted trip!"

The Sima family members left a message and departed first.

The people of Da Jin followed and left.

The Liu family glanced at Xuan Yue Peak one last time, sighed softly, and then drifted away.

The last to leave were those from the Great Wei side.

Outside the Ancient Youshan Mountains.

Xu Chuan said to Zhou Qingfang, "Brother Zhou, now that we've come out, I plan to take a few children out to gain some experience. Let's part ways here."

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Zhou Qingfang nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll head back now."

"Let's go, we can't have come all this way for nothing," Xu Chuan said to Xu Mingwei and the others.

One of the reasons Xu Chuan stayed was indeed to search for peak second-tier demonic beasts in the Ancient Nether Mountain Range, and the other was that there was something wrong with Xuan Yue Peak.

He wanted to take advantage of these days to consult the oracle a few more times.

The old man from the Cao family caught a glimpse of Xu Chuan and his group returning to the Ancient You Mountains from afar.

One of the Cao family cultivators said, "Should we ambush and kill a few members of the Xu family in the Ancient Nether Mountains? If they perish, the Xu family will no longer be a threat to our Cao family."

"No." The elder of the Cao family raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Xu Chuan is not simple. He is meticulous and thoughtful. Moreover, we have not yet figured out what trump cards the Xu family has up their sleeves."

What you see in front of you doesn't tell you everything!
The Ancient You Mountains are dangerous; we don't want to be ambushed and killed instead.

If that's the case, then death is death, and the family has no way to seek justice for us.

Let's discuss the Xu family's matter at length.

It's a pity that the Grand Elder's open scheme failed!

"Yes, who would have thought that this heavily guarded cave was actually empty?"

"More than a hundred cultivators at the mid-Foundation stage or above failed to detect anything. Either it is truly empty, or only cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above can discover its mystery."

The Cao family members immediately flew towards the direction of the Great Wei.

In a blink of an eye.

Xu Chuan and his group stayed in the Guyou Mountains for seven or eight days.

There are many demonic beasts in this place, so it's impossible to openly unleash one's divine sense. After all, demonic beasts also have divine sense, and if they were to attract demonic beasts from several miles around, it would be risky.

Their situation is very dangerous.

The best course of action would naturally be to conceal one's cultivation level and aura, proceed cautiously, and once a peak second-tier demonic beast is discovered, have Mo Yue quickly strike and kill it, then depart.

That night.

After midnight.

Xu Chuan inquired about Xuan Yue Peak again.

He hadn't held out much hope, but the divination showed great fortune.

[Today's divination: Very auspicious. Going to Xuan Yue Peak tonight will bring rewards!]

"Nighttime is one factor, then there's the date; today is the full moon. And then there's cultivation level?"

Xu Chuan couldn't figure it out, but that didn't stop him from being overjoyed.

After all, such auspicious divination results are rare.

"Today, let's go to Xuan Yue Peak again."

"Father, what's going on?" Xu Mingwei looked at Xu Chuan in surprise, his face full of confusion.

Xu Mingxian asked, "Father, do you really think there's something mysterious about Xuan Yue Peak?"

"Elder, could you be overthinking this? So many of us have investigated carefully before, but we haven't found anything."

"Whether it exists or not, we'll find out today."

night.

The moon is high in the sky, a full moon hangs in the heavens.

The silvery sunlight bathed the entire mountain peak in a silvery hue.

Xu Chuan and his group explored Xuan Yue Peak, from the foot of the mountain to the summit.

Xu Mingxian sighed softly, "Father, we still haven't gained anything."

Xu Mingwei and Ren Xiaoyao nodded in agreement.

Only Xu Chuan stared at a certain spot in the sky above the mountain peak, his brows slightly furrowed.

His spiritual sense was comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at its peak, and he could vaguely sense subtle fluctuations in this place.

"No, this is not the location of the cave dwelling, but an ancient secret realm!"

"A secret realm?!" Xu Mingwei and the other two stared wide-eyed.

Any secret realm is a great opportunity, attracting the three Golden Core patriarchs to come out and compete for it.

"Mo Yue, come and take a look. Is this the entrance to a secret realm?"

Xu Chuan patted the spirit beast pouch.

A flash of blue light appeared, and a ten-foot-long Mo Yue appeared before them.

He yawned and said, "What do you want from me? If it's nothing important, don't blame me for turning hostile."

“My spiritual sense is comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment. I can vaguely feel some fluctuations there, but it’s not real. Although your strength is no longer at its peak, your spiritual sense is still at the third level. Come and take a look.”

Mo Yue turned his head to look in the direction Xu Chuan was pointing, "Huh, is this fluctuation the entrance to the secret realm?"

"You've actually discovered a secret realm!"

Mo Yue became interested and kept swaying its tail.

Secret realms often represent opportunities for cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above, and only cultivators at the Golden Core stage or above can forcibly open them.

"No, this secret realm seems to be on the verge of collapse. I have a feeling that if I force it open a few more times, it will completely dissipate."

Xu Mingxian asked curiously, "Uncle Mo Yue, what would happen if it disappeared?"

"Everything inside will be swept into the spatial turbulence. It is said that only powerful beings at the Nascent Soul stage or above, or materials of the same grade, can possess magical treasures."

Any other living beings and objects will be pulverized.

"Let's not talk about that for now. I'll force it open and hold it for half an hour. You guys need to finish this quickly and take away everything useful inside."

"Wait!" Xu Chuan turned to Xu Mingxian and said, "First, set up an array around this place to cover up the fluctuations and set up a restriction to isolate the view and sound."

"I know, kid."

Xu Mingxian immediately did as instructed.

After a short while, the area within a radius of about one mile around the summit of Xuan Yue Peak was shrouded in a misty array.

Xu Chuan then let Mo Yue make a move.

The motorcycle soared into the air, accompanied by a dragon's roar.

Then, his body, which was about ten feet long, suddenly swelled up as if inflated, with his scales opening and closing layer by layer, each scale displaying azure patterns, growing from seven feet, ten feet to more than thirty feet.

When the dragon raised its head, it shattered the clouds that clung to the peak. The two dragon horns gleamed with a cold, hard luster, and when the tips pierced the air, they produced a faint, whistling sound.

It suddenly raised its front paws, which were over ten feet wide, with the tips gleaming with a cold, bluish-black light, and pressed them towards the source of the fluctuations in the secret realm.

Ripples suddenly erupted there.

A layer of pale silver film appeared.

Suddenly.

Mo Yue unleashed an aura that was in no way inferior to the pressure of the Cao family's Golden Core cultivator back then.

"tear!"

The dragon claws suddenly exerted force, tearing at both sides like ripping brocade.

The light membrane emitted a piercing cracking sound, and the crack instantly spread from the claw tip to several feet wide, as if a hole had been forcibly torn open in the void.

The spiritual energy in the secret realm surged forth.

Until the entrance to the secret realm was torn open with a gap more than ten feet wide.

"Go in quickly, remember you only have half an hour!"

Xu Chuan, Xu Mingwei, Xu Mingxian, and Ren Xiaoyao rushed into the secret realm one after another.

This time, however, they were not randomly teleported.

Instead, after a dizzying spin, they appeared in the air above the secret realm.

The group steadied themselves.

Looking around, I discovered several palaces, connected together, embedded in the mountain peak.

At the foot of the mountain lies a medicinal garden, shrouded by an array.

"Mingxian, you and Mingwei go to the herb garden first, Xiaoyao and I will go to the palace."

"Yes!"

After saying that, they went their separate ways.

After Xu Chuan and Ren Xiaoyao went to the mountain palace, they parted ways again.

"The Daoist Canon Pavilion!"

Upon spotting the pavilion, Xu Chuan transformed into a streak of light and rushed over.

"There's no restriction?!"

Xu Chuan opened the door and walked into the pavilion, only to be immediately dumbfounded.

"Empty?!!"

There were layers of bookshelves, but they were completely empty, indicating that no one had been there for over a thousand years.

"How come it's exactly the same as the cave at the foot of Xuan Yue Peak?"

Xu Chuan didn't hesitate and flew towards the other palaces and pavilions, as if he had a guess in his mind.

But the truth was just as he had guessed.

Thousands of years ago, someone entered this secret realm and took away all the inheritances of this place.

As for the secret realm, there must have been sects that left their legacy here.

Xu Chuan and Ren Xiaoyao reunited.

Ren Xiaoyao said, "Elder, I went to the Pill Pavilion and the Weapon Pavilion, and they were both empty."

“The Daoist Canon Pavilion is the same as other palace pavilions.” Xu Chuan sighed softly, “It seems we are at least a thousand years too late.”

"Let's go check on Mingxian and the others. The herb garden looks like it at least has something there."

The two immediately flew towards the medicinal herb garden at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, Xu Mingxian is breaking the formation.

Xu Mingwei was surprised to see them arrive so quickly and asked, "How come you're here so fast?"

"Don't even mention it!" Ren Xiaoyao sighed. "That place has been completely emptied out long ago."

Xu Chuan saw a bamboo house about a hundred meters to the left of the herb garden and pointed to it, asking, "Have you been there before?"

"Mingxian said that this place only has a mid-grade second-order formation, and I need to help break it quickly."

"Then you all stay here and help. The sooner we break it open, the better. I'll go and check out the bamboo house."

"Yes, father."

Xu Chuan walked over and pushed the door open to enter.

Upon approaching, one sees a painting on the wall depicting a man in a blue and white robe holding a sword behind his back.

There is a table in front of me.

On the table were a token, a jade stone, and a ring.

Xu Chuan picked up the token and saw that it had the words "Xuan Yue" written on it, nothing special.

Then, after picking up the jade and probing it with his divine sense, he suddenly heard a frivolous young man's voice in his mind.

"You who came later are destined to enter the Mysterious Moon Realm. It's a pity that I, Zhang Fan, entered earlier than you."

This secret realm is the site of the Xuan Yue Sect's lineage.

I am a wandering monk.

So you understand, the inheritance has all been taken by Zhang.

However, Zhang has also taken on the karma of the Xuan Yue Sect. If you hear the name of the Xuan Yue Sect in any place in the Tiannan Region, that is the sect established by Zhang.

If you come with the ancient token one day, you can directly join the inner sect of my Xuan Yue Sect.

If Zhang were still alive, he would surely take good care of you.

I took all the mature medicinal herbs from the herb garden, leaving behind some that were younger, including the main ingredients needed for Foundation Building Pills and Golden Core Pills, as well as some other rare medicinal herbs.

In addition, the ring on the table is a storage ring, one of the storage magic tools commonly used by cultivators above the Golden Core stage, with a space comparable to a high-level storage bag.

There were some gifts left by Zhang.

The path to immortality is long and arduous; may you, fellow Daoist, achieve great success!

When we meet again someday, let's drink a cup together!

The sound ended there, and the jade stone turned into dust.

at the same time.

Far to the south, in a palace atop a mountain peak, an elderly man with white hair and beard opened his eyes from his meditation.

"After a thousand years, someone has finally touched the jade I left behind."

"The Mysterious Moon Realm can only be entered by those with great fortune. I have relied on its inherited foundation to gradually reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."

According to the information left by the Ancient Xuan Yue Sect, this person most likely cultivates wood-based techniques. The alchemy classics I left behind should be of use to him.

Those with great fortune often achieve great things; it's unknown how far he will go in the future.

After muttering to himself for a while, the old man closed his eyes again.

"So it was a sound recording stone."

Xu Chuan muttered something to himself, then his gaze fell on the storage ring.

A rare item comparable to a high-level storage bag.

Xu Chuan immediately imprinted his divine consciousness upon the image.

Refining storage artifacts is much easier than refining combat artifacts.

A moment.

Xu Chuan then established a spiritual connection with it.

He probed it with his divine sense.

The interior space is vast, spanning a thousand feet in diameter, and reaching a height of a hundred feet.

Then they quickly discovered what Zhang Fan had left behind.

The complete Golden Elixir Transmission Techniques, the "Wood Emperor Scripture," more than a dozen elixir formulas covering the Foundation Establishment and Golden Elixir stages of cultivation, and numerous related alchemical classics.

These alchemical texts contain records of alchemy and hand gestures, and are many times more profound than those left to him by Yun Zhongzi.

"Wood-based cultivation techniques, alchemy classics?" Xu Chuan's body trembled slightly, his eyes revealing disbelief. "It feels like all of this was prepared for me?!"

"Could it be that the other party knew who the intruder was a thousand years ago?"

Xu Chuan frowned deeply.

A few moments.

He sighed slightly, "Never mind, whether it's the 'Wood Emperor Scripture' or the pill formulas and alchemical classics related to Foundation Establishment and Golden Elixir, they are all of great help to me."

Time was limited in the secret realm, and Xu Chuan didn't have time to look around carefully before leaving the bamboo house.

at this time.

Breaking the formation has reached its final stage.

"Big Brother, Xiaoyao, attack these two spots!"

Xu Mingwei and Ren Xiaoyao took to the air.

One man draws his bow and nocks an arrow, and three arrows are combined into one.

The other person used the Five Elements Sword Formation to condense a giant sword of five colors.

boom! boom!
When the two attacks landed on the array's light screen, Xu Mingxian also made a hand seal, gathering the spirits of the four elements to break the array with the array!

A moment of effort.

The array of light in the medicine garden instantly transformed into endless spiritual light and dissipated in mid-air.

An incredibly rich aroma wafted towards me, instantly invigorating me.

“Purple Monkey Flower, Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Jade Marrow Ganoderma, Heavenly Fragrance Flower, Heavenly Beard Grass, Snow Dragon Ginseng, these…” Xu Mingwei exclaimed with elation, “Father, these are all rare spiritual herbs!”

"Not only that, these are all thousands of years old," Xu Chuan said. "Alright, quickly put these spiritual herbs away, time is of the essence."

"Also, don't damage the roots."

"Yes, Father (Elder)!"

Soon, Xu Chuan discovered that the soil was very peculiar. "Could it be some kind of sacred soil?"

Xu Chuan placed these spiritual herbs into several wooden boxes and had Xu Mingxian set up a barrier to isolate the spiritual energy.

He then completely destroyed the medicinal garden, storing all the soil into his storage ring.

Xu Mingwei and the others also noticed something was wrong with the soil in the medicinal garden. Seeing Xu Chuan do this, they secretly nodded in approval: As expected of his father, he left not an inch of land behind!

"go!"

The four of them immediately rushed toward the crack in the sky.

Huhuhuhu~
Xu Chuan and the others rushed out of the secret realm. Mo Yue immediately released his dragon claws, and his huge body, like a deflated balloon, instantly shrank to a few feet in length.

"I'm exhausted. I won't be able to make a move for the next two weeks."

"In that case, let's go back to Dongxi."

Mo Yue returned to the spirit beast pouch to rest and slumber.

When Xu Chuan looked up again, the pale silver light membrane in the air had completely healed.

Then, in a flash, it vanished without a trace.

At this point, it was difficult for Xu Chuan to detect anything when he used his divine sense to investigate.

Xu Mingxian removed the formation, and a mountain breeze swept by, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Russian qing.

The four of them rose into the air and shot off into the distance.

Several days later, they returned to Dongxi.

Ren Xiaoyao then went to Guangling County midway through his journey.

After returning to Dongxi, Xu Chuan, Xu Mingwei, and Xu Mingxian went to Bihantan.

Let's see if we can cultivate those spiritual herbs using the spiritual soil in the secret realm.

Xu Mingshu was also feeding the spirit silkworms at the Bihan Pool. Upon seeing them, she immediately asked, "Father, elder brother, Mingxian, you're back. How was your trip?"

"Of course there is, you'll find out soon enough," Xu Mingwei said with a faint smile.

Xu Chuan cleared out five acres of land, then moved away all the three-foot-deep soil, creating a deep pit.

Then he gently stroked the ring with his right hand.

There was a flash of light.

Then a piece of land of roughly the same size appeared out of thin air and was moved into the deep pit by Xu Chuan.

After integration, there will be no gaps.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, several wooden crates appeared on the ground.

Xu Chuan began to replant each plant one by one into the spiritual soil.

Half a day later.

He used the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique and the Wood Green Light Technique again, and infused it with life force.

Then it stopped.

"Father, which Golden Core family's herb garden did you steal from?!" Xu Mingshu exclaimed in astonishment, "They even have the main ingredient for Foundation Establishment Pills!"

Remembering something, Xu Chuan returned the spirit beast bag containing the Purple Thunder Azure Fire Eagle to Xu Mingshu and smiled slightly, saying, "More or less."

"Mingxian, set up a second-tier high-grade formation here. I will personally oversee it. No one else is allowed to enter except for me."

"Yes, Father, but it will take a few days."

"Okay." Xu Chuan nodded.

Xu Mingwei recounted his experience to Xu Mingshu, who listened with wide interest.

"Illusionary Killing Array? Void Mansion, Secret Realm?!" Xu Mingshu exclaimed, "I should have gone too."

"By the way, Father, besides this herb garden, were there any other harvests?"

“Of course there are,” Xu Chuan said. “A complete wood-type golden core inheritance, which can be cultivated to the nascent soul stage, and a pill-cultivation inheritance, both of which are only useful to me.”

All that's left is a token, which I estimate won't be useful until my Xu family leaves this area and reaches the prosperous regions of Tiannan."

"Father's great opportunity is also the great opportunity for our Xu family." Xu Mingwei smiled.

"Alright, everyone go about your own business."

Xu Chuan shook his head and chuckled. He had been staying here for several days to observe the growth of those spiritual plants.

During this time, they also inquired about the sacred land of Moyue.

It turns out that this spiritual soil is called Five-Colored Spiritual Soil, which is the spiritual soil used by powerful sects in the cultivation world to cultivate spiritual plants.

For ordinary spiritual herbs, it can accelerate their growth by at least ten times.

Rare and precious second-tier or even third-tier spiritual herbs, such as Purple Monkey Flower and Heavenly Fragrance Flower, can also increase growth speed several times over.

Although five mu is not much, it is more than enough for the Xu family at present.

A few more days.

Seeing that the spiritual plant had stabilized, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to devote himself to cultivation.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chuan broke through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment and began studying the Foundation Establishment chapter of the "Wood Emperor Scripture".

This technique can refine spiritual energy much faster than the "Yi Mu Qing Ling Jue" and the wood-based spells and secret methods recorded on it are more profound.

He learned three or four top-tier wood-type spells, including a secret technique that could unleash a burst of power.

Incidentally, let Xu Mingqing also switch to practicing this technique.

Zhang Wanqing and Shen Qingyi are also members of the Xu family who practice wood-based cultivation techniques.

Xu Chuan planned to wait until they broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage before letting them cultivate the "Wood Emperor Scripture".

The rest are mostly fire and metal elements.

Xu Deyue is the only one with the cold attribute.

Ren Xiaoyao has now broken through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, while Xu Deling is at the peak of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, just two or three months away from entering the fifth level.

The rest of those who broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage also basically broke through to the early stage of the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Only Xu Mingxian had accumulated enough magical power to reach the mid-stage of the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Xu Chuan provided the same supply of pills to the core members of the Xu family.

However, Xu Mingxian possesses the "Overwhelming Power" destiny talent, which gives him a greater advantage in the path of cultivation.

Whether it's refining pills or absorbing spiritual energy, he can even rival those with earth-root aptitude.

Judging from this, if Xu Mingxian were to break through to the Golden Core stage in the future, his cultivation speed would be comparable to that of someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Moon Lake and Guangling County are calm and peaceful.

But having learned from their mistakes, they wanted to prevent a repeat of the incident involving Xu Deqian and the Chong generation.

When members of the Xu clan from both the main and branch branches undergo training, a Foundation Establishment elder will always accompany them, wearing a mask to conceal their appearance and pretending to be a Qi Refining cultivator.

Xu Chuan focused on his own cultivation and only consulted the oracle occasionally in his spare time.
