Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 250 Gathering of Fortune, the Ancestor of Martial Arts! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"The Heavenly Azure Secret Realm is controlled by the Heavenly Azure Sect and is only opened once every sixty years. In addition to the disciples of the Heavenly Azure Sect, the Green Wood Sect, the Horned Azure Sect, and the Azure Azure Sect each have a few slots."

I paid a considerable price to obtain it from the Grand Elder of the Azure Cang Sect.

Besides extremely rare spiritual herbs and materials, the secret realm also contains descendants of ancient bloodline demonic beasts, as well as the inheritances of the ancient Azure Dragon Sect or innate spiritual objects.

Master Huoyun said, "The ancient Azure Dragon Sect's inheritance and innate spiritual treasures can only be obtained by chance. Over the past thousand years, only a very few disciples have ever obtained them."

Later, these people were at least True Lord level figures who had comprehended supernatural powers.

There are rumors that obtaining these things is related to one's own luck.

Luck is elusive and unpredictable, but my disciple, you have a natural eye for spiritual insight and an extremely high talent for crafting artifacts. I think you can try your luck.

Even if it doesn't work out, some of the medicinal herbs or materials on the trip will make it worthwhile.

"Thank you, Master!" Xu Deling solemnly cupped his hands in thanks.

Then, the two headed towards Yunxi Town.

With Master Huoyun leading the way, they arrived at the Xu family's trading company in just a short while.

Xu Chuan arranged a private room for him.

People gradually arrived at the auction venue and took their seats.

Half an hour later.

The auction officially begins.

Inside the top-tier private room.

Master Huoyun stroked his beard and smiled as he watched the auction proceed in full swing, saying, "Your Xu family is indeed quite good at doing business, and to be able to produce all this, you must be quite wealthy."

"No matter how many there are, they can't compare to Master. He can surpass him by simply refining a few magic treasures."

The auctioneer announced loudly, "The next item to be auctioned is the Youth Preservation Pill. My Xu family has gone through great hardships to obtain five top-grade Youth Preservation Pills."

This is a golden opportunity for male cultivators to gain the favor of the fairy they admire.

It is also the ticket for the fairies present to stay young forever.

"The Youth Preservation Pill, starting bid 500 spirit stones, minimum increment 20 spirit stones. The auction for the first Youth Preservation Pill begins now!"

"Six hundred spirit stones!"

One female cultivator didn't hesitate to raise the price by one hundred spirit stones.

"Six hundred and twenty!"

"Six hundred and forty!"

Whether male or female, the competition was incredibly fierce.

The price quickly rose to over a thousand spirit stones, and the number of bidders decreased by more than half.

Ultimately, the first Youth Preservation Pill was purchased by a late-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator from the Jiao Cang Sect for 1,400 spirit stones.

Rumor has it that she is a disciple of a Golden Core elder, and is very wealthy.

The next three were also purchased by the three sects, but not all of them were by female cultivators.

The last one ended up in the hands of a late-stage Foundation Establishment elder from the Golden Core family of the Jiao Cang Sect.

Judging from the results, male cultivators were more restrained than female cultivators.

Subsequently, pills such as Chongxu Dan and Yuya Dan were also auctioned off for considerable prices.

Next came the auction of spiritual herbs, materials, and magical artifacts.

The spiritual herbs and materials were either surplus or unnecessary items in the Xu family. The magical artifacts included ordinary high-grade artifacts, fine artifacts, top-grade artifacts, and artifacts with decorative patterns.

The last three items were the highlight.

The first item is a 4,000-year-old Blazing Sun Flower, obtained from the Wu family's collection, which is of great benefit to those who practice fire-based techniques.

It was purchased by Master Huoyun and given to Xu Deling.

The second item is a set of top-tier magical artifacts, with the mother artifact engraved with artifact patterns and crafted by Xu Deling.

It was purchased by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qingmu Sect for 3,600 spirit stones.

"This last item is probably what many people here came for."

As he spoke, the host produced a celadon porcelain bottle.

"The porcelain bottle contains the longevity pill, called the Qinghua Pill. It is only effective for those below the Golden Core stage. It can add thirty years to the lifespan of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and sixty years to those below Foundation Establishment."

"Longevity pills are precious, so I won't display them. However, if anyone here doubts their authenticity, they can ask a trusted alchemist to come up and verify them."

"I've come to take a look!"

Immediately, an elderly man with white hair and beard arrived at the high platform.

"It's Master Huo from Jiaoxiu City, from the Huo family, a prestigious family of Golden Core cultivators!"

"He's a top-notch alchemy master!"

Many people gasped in surprise after recognizing him.

"I am Huo Changsen. May I have a look?"

"nature."

The host presented the porcelain bottle with both hands.

Huo Changsen took the bottle, opened it, and gently sniffed it. His pupils immediately contracted, and he quickly put the stopper back on.

"It is indeed a longevity-enhancing elixir. If I am not mistaken, it should have been refined decades ago." Huo Changsen stared intently at the host and asked, "Do you have the formula?"

The host shook his head and said, "This pill is not unique to my Xu family business; someone else consigned it for auction."

"It was my presumption that led me to be so bold."

Huo Changsen returned to his seat.

After his confirmation, everyone naturally had no further doubts.

"Qinghua Dan is auctioned by consignment, and the consignor has his own requirements. This elixir must be exchanged for Yangshen Dan and its formula. If no one makes a transaction, it will be unsold."

However, this pill will remain on hold at our auction house. If anyone later acquires the pill and its formula, they can come to our shop to trade it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd in the auction hall began to discuss the matter.

"Nourishing Spirit Pills and their formulas?! Those are extremely precious elixirs!"

"Although the Nourishing Spirit Pill can enhance the spiritual awareness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is still somewhat inferior to the Longevity Pill. However, with the formula, its value is indeed comparable."

"It's a pity. I heard that only the Qingmu Sect and the Tiancang Sect have this pill. I also heard that it was brought out from the Tiancang Secret Realm by a disciple of the Qingmu Sect back then."

"It must be the Spirit Nourishing Pill and its formula? I am willing to offer a complete talisman and a damaged magic weapon in exchange. May I ask your esteemed institution to inquire with the person behind the Qinghua Pill?"

An elder from a family that had reached the Foundation Establishment stage asked the question.

"I'm so sorry, senior!" The host shook his head. "I have asked many times, but the other party insists on trading only these two items."

"It seems this pill is destined to go unsold today, but if your esteemed institution keeps it in your possession, aren't you afraid that numerous old monsters nearing the end of their lifespan will come knocking on your door?"

An old man in a black robe and hood suddenly spoke. His face was obscured, but his voice sounded like that of a sinister old man.

"Adding thirty years to one's lifespan is already considered a very good life-extending pill, and its appeal is self-evident. It is normal for dozens of Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators to come here."

This is something no Foundation Establishment family can withstand!

at this time.

A sudden surge of oppressive power enveloped the entire auction hall.

"The Xu family is a family protected by my Fire Cloud Valley. Let's see if they have the guts to come!" True Master Fire Cloud sneered. "Don't end up dying yourself and dragging your family down with you!"

"It's Master Huoyun!"

"The Xu family actually invited him here today!"

"It is said that Master Huoyun dotes on that female disciple of the Xu family, and now it seems that this is indeed true."

No one present dared to make any more threats, fearing that they would be killed by Master Huoyun with a single palm strike!
"The auction for Qinghua Pills has begun. Anyone interested in making a purchase?"

Many people sighed slightly, revealing a helpless expression.

Among the Yuan, Hua, and Fang families in Yunxi Town, the Hua family is in the most awkward position, relying solely on Hua Qingxue's relationship with the Grand Elder of the Qingmu Sect to maintain their relationship.

The Yuan and Fang families appear to have engaged in transactions involving benefits with the Jiao Cang Sect and the Qing Cang Sect.

Furthermore, some of his disciples became disciples of his Golden Core Elder.

As long as that Golden Core elder remains standing, the Yuan and Fang families will likely be able to maintain a permanent presence in Yunxi Town.

"Damn it, they still have to trade pill formulas!" The Hua family patriarch gritted his teeth inwardly. He knew that Hua Qingxue had a treasured Spirit Nourishing Pill, which was a gift from the Grand Elder of the Qingmu Sect.

As for the pill formula, although it cannot be considered a supreme treasure, it is, after all, an item belonging to the Green Wood Sect. How could a Foundation Establishment family like theirs possibly trade for it?

Rumor has it that both Jiao Cang and Qing Cang tried to trade with him, but were refused by both.

There may be three competitors among them, but there is no doubt that this prescription is indeed of great value.

Tens of breaths later.

"With ten breaths remaining, is anyone interested in trading the Qinghua Pill?"

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, three, two."

"I will take this pill."

Suddenly a gentle breeze blew by, and a man in a gray robe appeared at the entrance of the auction hall, wearing a mask.

The mask exudes an obscure aura, making it difficult for others to discern its appearance and cultivation level.

Then he added, "I need to discuss this matter with the person behind your business."

The host hesitated slightly before saying "this."

Suddenly, Xu Chuan's voice entered his mind, "Promise him, let him come to the top-tier private room."

"Our host has agreed to this matter. Please come to the VIP room to discuss the matter. As for this auction, it is now concluded."

Welcome back in three years!

Although the gray-robed man's cultivation level was impossible to discern, there was a certain probability that he was a Golden Core cultivator. How could an ordinary person dare to provoke him so casually?

People left one after another.

The man in the gray robe entered the top-tier private room and met Master Huoyun and Xu Deling. He then bowed slightly to them.

Then, Xu Chuan walked in, smiled faintly, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I've kept you waiting, fellow Daoist."

He opened his palm, revealing a porcelain bottle containing Qinghua Dan.

"This is the Qinghua Pill. What is it that you are trading, fellow Daoist?"

"I don't have the Spirit Nourishing Pill and the formula with me right now. Please give me the Azure Flower Pill first, and I can guarantee that I will deliver it in half a month."

Xu Chuan frowned. "Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps intend to exchange your words for the Qinghua Pill?"

"Your secretive behavior makes it hard for me to trust your character. And how can you prove that you have the Nourishing Spirit Pill and the formula?"

As far as Xu knew, only the Qingmu Sect and the Tiancang Sect possessed these two items.

Are you from the Green Wood Sect or the Heavenly Azure Sect?
The recipe for the Spirit Nourishing Pill is probably only obtainable by someone at the Golden Core Elder level.

“No, Fellow Daoist Xu, you’ve guessed wrong. Do you know the Chen family of the Green Wood Sect?” the gray-robed man said.

Xu Chuan shook his head.

Huoyun Zhenren suddenly spoke up: "I have heard that the Nourishing Spirit Pill was brought out by a member of the Chen family more than two hundred years ago."

That person later became a Golden Core cultivator, but perished while traveling.

Am I right?

"What you say is true, senior. I am indeed a member of the Chen family. An elder in my family needs the Longevity Pill. I heard that the Xu Family Auction House had the pill, so I rushed here."

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Chen, why don't you go back and retrieve it first, and then come back to make the transaction?"

"Our elder's time to die is just around the corner. I humbly request that Fellow Daoist Xu grant us this favor. Our Chen family will certainly remember this kindness."

While Xu Chuan hesitated, Huo Yun Zhenren transmitted his voice and said, "It's alright to agree to him. The Chen family is quite upright and won't go back on their word. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, his elder should be Chen Changge."

In his youth, this person was as famous as the Grand Elder of the Green Wood Sect, and it was rumored that he had the aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Unfortunately, he was young and impetuous, insisting on pursuing supernatural powers to form his core, thus wasting his life. Now it seems he has finally come to his senses.

"If Chen Changge obtains your Qinghua Pill and successfully forms his own Golden Core within thirty years, he will owe you an immense favor. Having another Golden Core family as a friend will only benefit your Xu family."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Xu Chuan said, "In that case, this pill will be paid to Fellow Daoist Chen in advance. Within half a month, your Chen family will send over the Nourishing Spirit Pill and the pill formula."

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Xu! My Chen family will definitely remember this favor!"

The cultivator surnamed Chen took the porcelain bottle and was about to leave when Xu Chuan raised his hand and said, "Wait a moment. If Fellow Daoist Chen leaves now, it may be difficult to safely deliver this pill back to the Chen family."

Some cultivators nearing the end of their Foundation Establishment journey are incredibly reckless; even if they can't discern your true cultivation level, they'll still risk everything and gamble everything.

He turned to look at Master Huoyun, "Senior, please escort him."

Master Huoyun was slightly taken aback. This Xu Chuan was really impolite, actually ordering him around.

He sighed softly, "Fine, for the sake of my disciple, I will see you off. Disciple, you wait here for your master to return."

"Yes, Master."

Afterwards, True Man Huoyun and the cultivator surnamed Chen left.

Xu Deling told Xu Chuan about how Huo Yun Zhenren had obtained a spot in the Tiancang Secret Realm for her from the Grand Elder of the Qingcang Sect.

"This is a good thing." Xu Chuan smiled slightly, and with a flick of his hand, another porcelain bottle appeared.

"Inside is a top-grade Qi Refining Pill. Now that you have reached the late stage of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, if you cultivate diligently in the abundant spiritual energy environment of Fire Cloud Valley, it will not be difficult for you to touch the final bottleneck within three or four months."

This elixir can help you smoothly reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, saving you a lot of time.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

A few moments.

Xu Deling suddenly sighed, "I wonder how things are at home? Xiaoyao's cultivation speed has always been a step ahead of mine, he should have reached the Foundation Establishment stage by now."

Grandfather, how many more people have joined our Xu family in the past few years?

Given the current status of our Xu family in the Great Wei, unless the Cao family, the Sima family, and others openly break ties, we can likely develop freely without any scruples.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, "Our Xu family has already reached its sixth generation."

"Did Emperor Wenjing also have offspring?"

"Not only him, but the other older members of the Wen generation also have descendants. They got married and had children when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. Wen Jing was only a year earlier than them."

Many of them had two or three wives.

"Don't be surprised, Grandfather naturally has a way to roughly grasp the situation in the clan."

Xu Deling quickly regained his composure and asked with a smile, "Grandfather, what is Wenjing's name? Is he a boy or a girl? What are his aptitudes like?"

"Twins. The first one born is a boy named Xu Jingwu, and the girl is named Xu Jingyan." Xu Chuan said with a faint smile, "Jingyan's spiritual root aptitude is slightly higher than yours."

As for Jingwu, he was of mortal form.

"A mortal body?" Xu Deling was quite surprised. "I remember you said that Wenjing's aptitude was similar to that of Sixth Uncle, only slightly lacking the earth spirit root. His descendants have a very high chance of having spirit root aptitude."

Moreover, given the status of my Xu family, Wenjing's wife is highly likely to possess a true spiritual root.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly, "You guessed right."

As the Xu family of Yunxi rapidly expanded, the family genealogy underwent another change, now allowing non-Xu family members to be included and connected to the Xu family's fortune. Ren Xiaoyao, along with all of the Xu family's daughters-in-law and sons-in-law who had married into the family, were all added to the genealogy by Xu Chuan.

"Although Jingwu is a mortal, his martial arts talent is unparalleled. He not only has martial bones all over his body and the heart of a martial ancestor, but also has an unformed martial arts heavenly eye between his eyebrows."

When Xu Jingwu was born, two innate talents appeared in the family genealogy: [Martial Ancestor] and [Longevity Seed].

【Martial Ancestor】: Only those with unparalleled martial talent can bear this destiny. The one who bears it will open up a new realm of martial arts and become the ancestor of martial arts.

[Longevity Seed]: Each time lifespan increases, it can be increased by an additional half of lifespan.

"A body imbued with martial spirit, the heart of a martial ancestor, and the divine eye of martial arts?"

"Your father was born with superhuman strength and eagle eyes, Dezhao possessed a furnace of qi and blood, and Wenjing was born with martial bones and a body of copper and iron. All three of them have extremely outstanding martial arts talent."

Now, all the luck and fortune are converging and manifesting in Wu'er.

Our place is a prison, and whenever a great calamity comes, a person with great fortune will be born.

Wu'er may have been born with the destiny of martial arts, and may be the ancestor who pioneered martial arts!
Not only him, but Ye Fan also seems to possess great fortune.

It is estimated that many similar individuals will emerge in the next one or two decades.

"The founder of martial arts? Wouldn't that be the Martial Ancestor? Is Wu'er really destined for this?" Xu Deling was shocked. "After the Martial Arts Grandmaster, for thousands of years, no one has ever been heard of truly walking this path."

We haven't heard of this in the Southern Region either.

"The opening of martial arts can change the world and even cause a future conflict between immortals and martial arts."

"Grandfather, what do you plan to do?"

"Let Wu'er leave the Xu family and grow up outside until he opens up the path of martial arts and spreads his teachings throughout the world. Then, find a way to fake his death and return to the clan."

In this way, even if someone in my Xu family breaks through to a higher level in martial arts, it won't attract attention.

This way, Wu'er can be protected to the greatest extent possible.

Otherwise, if the great calamity were to strike, even if he were to successively open up two realms, comparable to a Golden Core cultivator, he would only become food for the demon race.

"Regarding this matter, I have already sent Mo Yue back quietly."

Xu Deling sighed slightly, "Grandfather has considered things carefully. Perhaps this is indeed the most suitable thing for Wu'er and for our Xu family."

"Putting that aside for now, do you still have any high-grade Qi-union pills left?" Xu Chuan asked.

"Besides what you gave me, my grandfather, my master also gave me some, but most of them were mid-grade Qi-union pills."

"Here's another bottle for you. You can give the extras to your fellow disciples, as I observe that none of them have yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Not long after, Master Huoyun returned and took Xu Deling away.

Xu Deling also told him that Xu Chuan had given him a bottle of top-grade Chongxu Pill and a bottle of top-grade Heqi Pill.

"Your grandfather is indeed very generous to you. Even a family of Golden Core cultivators wouldn't bestow such a large quantity of pills as gifts." He then looked at Xu Deling and chuckled, "These pills must have been refined by your grandfather himself, right?"

Xu Deling did not hide anything and replied, "My grandfather is low-key, but he is a grandmaster of alchemy. If my master wants to refine any pills, he can bring the materials to my grandfather."

Grandfather will surely help you refine it out of respect for his disciple.

He had two or three third-tier pill formulas in his hand, which seemed to be for improving cultivation, restoring mana, and healing injuries.

"If Master needs it, he can also speak with my grandfather."

"A Grandmaster of Alchemy? A third-tier pill formula, that's quite unexpected. Could it be that he also refined the Azure Flower Pill?"

Xu Deling cupped his hands and said, "I dare not hide it from you, Master. Indeed, but please keep it a secret, otherwise my Xu family will surely be in great calamity."

"Don't worry, how could your teacher be a villain?"
But after hearing what you said, I need to reconsider my relationship with your grandfather.

A Foundation Establishment stage alchemy master is enough for me to befriend as a peer; if he were to advance to the Golden Core stage, even I might have to beg him to refine pills.”

Xu Deling smiled slightly, “Once my Xu family becomes a Golden Core family, my master can simply become a guest elder of my Xu family. In that case, my grandfather will certainly not be stingy with pills.”

The core members of my Xu family cultivate only with top-grade pills; we almost never use inferior ones.

"Guest Elder?" Master Huoyun stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's discuss this matter later."

Master Huoyun felt that this matter was indeed worth considering.

If Xu Chuan's alchemy is truly this powerful, coupled with Xu Deling's future weapon crafting abilities, his potential is not to be underestimated. It is highly likely that he will be able to attract Golden Core cultivators.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg for the Xu family.

Xu Deling naturally couldn't reveal everything.

Xu Chuan bestowed upon Xu Jingwu both the [Martial Ancestor] and [Longevity Seed] destiny talents.

He didn't know the specific situation in the Great Wei, but judging from the progress of everyone's cultivation, it was generally stable.

The Chen family of the Qingmu Sect.

After taking the Qinghua Pill he brought back, Chen Changge's lifespan increased by thirty years, and his originally cloudy eyes shot out two golden rays.

“Grandfather, I have reached an agreement with the Xu family. I will first obtain the Qinghua Pill, and within half a month, I will need to present a Nourishing Spirit Pill and the pill formula.”

The man in the gray robe was Chen Tianfang, the current head of the Chen family.

“I understand. I will visit you together in half a month. As for the Spirit Nourishing Pill, we will see if the clan has any high-grade Spirit Nourishing Pills and present them to you.”

There's exactly one left.

"Well, I still need to adjust and recover. Come back in half a month. Also, make a list of the families that have bullied my Chen family."

"After visiting the Xu family during my recent departure from the pass, I intend to visit each of them individually."

"Yes, grandfather."

Chen Tianfang was overjoyed and immediately took his leave.

Half a month later.

Xu family.

Main hall.

"Master Xu, I am Chen Tianfang, the head of the Chen family. This is my grandfather, Chen Changge. Thank you for your generosity last time."

Xu Chuan clasped his hands and said, "I have met you two fellow Daoists. Last time, I was also very grateful to Senior Huoyun for his mediation."

After saying this, Chen Tianfang presented a sandalwood box, saying, "This is the item for the transaction of Qinghua Pill."

Xu Chuan opened it, and inside was a porcelain bottle and a pale yellow sheet of paper.

He examined them one by one, a look of surprise appearing between his brows. "A top-grade pill, the Chen family is very thoughtful."

"Fellow Daoist Xu was able to discern this from just a sniff, which means you must be a highly skilled alchemist."

"Fellow Daoist Changge is too kind. Then our transaction is considered complete. My Xu family will hand it over to the consignor afterward."

Chen Changge nodded slightly, "From the perspective of the transaction alone, it is indeed over, but I, Chen Changge, will remember this favor from your Xu family. If you need anything, you can come to the Chen family to find me."

Or if someone in your Xu family wants to join the Green Wood Sect, my Chen family can also help.

Chen still has some connections within the Qingmu Sect.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly: "In another half month, it will be the time when the three sects recruit disciples once every ten years, and a trial will be held at that time."

Those who stand out will be recruited into the three schools.

Chen Changge said, "That's true, but if the Xu family doesn't want to participate in the trial, my Chen family has an inner disciple spot that we can give to the Xu family."

“Grandfather, the Xu family only moved to Yunxi Town in recent years. They are small in number and currently have no disciples at the Qi Refining stage,” Chen Tianfang said.

"So that's how it is."

Xu Chuan clasped his hands and smiled, "Patriarch Chen is right, so my Xu family does not plan to participate in this Three Sects Trial. Thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Daoist Changge."

However, there is one thing that Mr. Xu really wants to ask.

"This is the Celestial Fruit mentioned in the recipe; I have never heard of it before."

Chen Changge smiled and said, "I don't know if the Heavenly God Fruit exists elsewhere, but if Fellow Daoist Xu wants to find it within the territory of the Heavenly Cang Sect, the only way is to enter the Heavenly Cang Secret Realm."

The Heavenly Azure Secret Realm can only be entered by those below the Golden Core stage, and each person can only enter three times in their lifetime.

One of the goals of disciples from the Heavenly Azure Sect and the Green Wood Sect each time they enter is the Heavenly God Fruit, making the competition extremely fierce.

"The next one will be in six months, when disciples from various sects will compete for the quota to enter the secret realm. The Tiancang Sect will also release twenty-one quotas to the seven cities of Tiancang, with three quotas for each city, and the competition will be open."

Chen Tianfang added.

"Has another sixty years passed so quickly?"

"Yes, Grandfather."

"Open competition? The spots in the secret realm are precious, why doesn't the Tiancang Sect just decide them internally?" Xu Chuan asked.

Chen Changge chuckled and said, "This matter is related to the opportunities in the secret realm."

"The opportunities in the secret realm are for those who are destined to receive them. At first, they naturally all belonged to the disciples of the Tiancang Sect, but the more time passed, the less they gained. However, on one occasion, they were given to the other three sects."

As a result, disciples from all three sects obtained opportunities in the secret realm.

The word "fate" is truly wondrous.

Even disciples from Foundation Establishment families, if they manage to secure a spot, might receive a greater opportunity than disciples from Golden Core families, the Three Sects, or even the Heavenly Azure Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are interested in the Heavenly Azure Secret Realm." A strange look appeared on Chen Changge's lips.

"Everyone wants to enter the secret realm, but it depends on luck. After all, the competition among the seven cities is bound to be fierce. I am not good at killing, and with my meager skills, I probably won't be able to get a spot."

Chen Changge didn't say anything more.

Not long after, the two said goodbye and left.

"Grandfather, what do you think of the Xu family? Are they worth befriending?" Chen Tianfang asked.

"Now that you are the head of the family, what are your thoughts?" Chen Changge said calmly.

"Leaving aside the friendship with Qinghua Dan, the Xu family has developed extremely rapidly and has the backing of Huoyun Zhenren. Based on my investigation over the past few days, Yunxi Town will most likely be surnamed Xu in the future."

Of course, if they want to secure their position completely, the Xu family needs to send a Golden Core cultivator to oversee things.

Otherwise, its glory would only last for a hundred or two hundred years.

"It seems you agree with befriending the Xu family."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changge smiled slightly and said, "Then let's do it. Xu Chuan is no simple man. I have an amazing intuition and can sense hidden dangers."

The pressure Xu Chuan put on me was even greater than what Feng Juechen put on me back then.

"How is this possible?!" Chen Tianfang exclaimed in surprise, staring at Chen Changge's face in disbelief, and said, "Grandfather, you are a prodigy who has comprehended a trace of supernatural power."

"A prodigy? If he were truly a prodigy, how could he have sat idly for sixty years without making any progress?" Chen Changge said with a self-deprecating laugh, "From comprehending the power of supernatural abilities to condensing the seed of supernatural abilities, this step is an insurmountable chasm!"

Xu Chuan appears approachable, but in reality, he is extremely shrewd and calculating, and very tactful. He must have also grasped the power of supernatural abilities. People like him either don't do things at all, or if they do, they are extremely confident.

"He has the potential to achieve the Core Formation of Divine Power?!"

"Those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage and comprehended the power of supernatural abilities all have the hope of forming a core through supernatural powers, but how many can actually achieve it? Just keep this in mind and don't tell anyone else."

If the Xu family were to learn from the Chen family that Xu Chuan was pursuing the path of Supernatural Core Formation, not only would we be unable to maintain good relations, but we would also offend them.

"Grandson understands." Chen Tianfang
"In this world, it's either you crush me or I crush you. Back when our Chen family's ancestor reached the Core Formation stage, countless families wanted to befriend our Chen family and form marriage alliances."

But his sudden death made my Chen family a target of covetousness and suppression.

As he spoke, a murderous glint appeared in Chen Changge's eyes. "Where to the first one?"

"The Mo family... the Mo family has the lives of several members of my Chen family on their hands!" Chen Tianfang's eyes flashed with ferocity.

"Then let's go to the Mo family!"

"It is quite a coincidence. With my resources, this one high-grade Spirit Nourishing Pill is enough. However, if Deling and the others want to break through the limit of Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, they will probably need to take multiple high-grade Spirit Nourishing Pills at the same time to have a chance."

As for whether this method will succeed, Xu Chuan had no idea.

But in the end, this elixir was of great benefit to the Xu family.

On the day.

After instructing the merchants to collect the materials for the Nourishing Spirit Pill, Xu Chuan then went into seclusion in his meditation room to cultivate.

He sat cross-legged on a futon, holding a top-grade jade-colored spirit-nourishing pill in his palm. Fine light patterns flowed across the surface of the pill, emitting wisps of misty spiritual energy.

Xu Chuan took a deep breath and put the Nourishing Spirit Pill into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the throat, transforming into a warm current that rushed straight to the center of the forehead and entered the sea of ​​consciousness. The moment the sea of ​​consciousness was calm, it suddenly began to boil!

Where the warm current passed, the stagnant consciousness began to grow wildly, like withered trees nourished by spring rain.

Its volume expanded by 30% in a short time, but it was no longer a loose mist, but gradually condensed into translucent droplets.

"coming!"

Xu Chuan abruptly closed his eyes, and under the influence of the Nourishing Spirit Pill, droplets of his divine consciousness surged towards the barrier at the edge of his sea of ​​consciousness like a tidal wave.

Upon the first impact, the barrier emitted a pale white halo, the droplets shattered into countless tiny beads, and a tearing pain emanated from the depths of the mind.

Xu Chuan's temples were bulging with veins, and his knuckles were clenched so tightly they turned white, but he gritted his teeth and didn't stop.

He could clearly sense that the barrier was stronger than he had expected, yet a barely perceptible crack appeared during the impact.

Even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators who reach the peak of Foundation Establishment cannot touch the limit of Foundation Establishment divine sense.

As for a breakthrough, a great opportunity is indispensable.

For example, rare and precious techniques for cultivating spiritual awareness, or sacred elixirs like the Nourishing Spirit Pill that nourish and enhance spiritual awareness.

Xu Chuan repeatedly challenged the bottleneck of his divine sense.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"break!"

Finally, with a deafening "boom", the barrier of consciousness was completely shattered!

The shattered barrier transformed into countless points of light, which were absorbed by Xu Chuan's divine sense, causing Xu Chuan's divine sense to rapidly grow stronger and undergo a transformation.

Half a day later.

Xu Chuan slowly opened his eyes, a faint golden light flashing between his brows.

He tried to project his divine sense outwards. His golden divine sense, like an invisible thread, instantly penetrated the array in the secluded cultivation room and detected the scene dozens of miles away.

It can even extend its divine sense to a depth of nearly 100 meters underground.

It should be known that when divine sense probes underground, the resistance is extremely high, and the resistance increases the further down you go. In the past, when one's divine sense reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, it could only extend to a maximum of twenty or thirty meters underground.
