Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 320 Ye Fan's Core Formation is Known to All; Chen Changge and the Polaris Flower (Seeking Subscriptions)

A month and a half later.

A sudden change has occurred in the skies above the Xu family residence area within the inner city of Yunxi City!
The once clear sky suddenly became stormy, with a surge of powerful spiritual energy from all directions, forming a massive vortex of spiritual energy that covered several miles.

Immediately afterwards, strange phenomena appeared in the sky.

It seemed as if there were thousands of troops, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!
"A phenomenon of Core Formation! Someone has formed their Core!"

"In the inner city! In the core area of ​​the Xu family!"

"This phenomenon... is truly bizarre! It even produces sounds of clashing weapons and fighting, something I've never seen before!"

"Who is it? The 'Cold Moon' fairy of the Xu family has already formed her core, and Xu Mingxian is not in Tiancang Mansion, so it can only be..."

Throughout the outer city, whether it was the wandering monks setting up stalls, the patrolling guards, or the customers in restaurants and teahouses, everyone was alarmed by this sudden and enormous phenomenon.

They all stopped and looked up in awe.

Discussions arose, filled with shock and curiosity.

Countless divine senses cautiously probed the direction of the strange phenomenon, but were blocked by the powerful formation of the inner city, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Breaking news! A strange phenomenon of Core Formation has appeared in the inner city of Yunxi, suspected to be Ye Fan of the Xu family!"

Almost immediately after the appearance of the Core Formation phenomenon, several subtle communication lights quietly rose in seemingly ordinary inns, shops, and even residential courtyards in the outer city of Yunxi.

They fled rapidly in different ways and in different directions.

They were spies planted in Yunxi City by various forces, and their duty was to monitor the Xu family of Yunxi.

Such a significant event naturally warrants immediate intelligence dissemination.

The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching all directions.

Tiancang Sect.

Upon receiving the message, True Monarch Qingmu paused slightly while sipping tea, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Another member of the Xu family has reached the Core Formation stage... It must be Ye Fan!"
I thought Ye Fan would need some more time.

It's so fast!

The Xu family... is their fortune truly so prosperous?!

He put down his teacup, his tone filled with deep emotion and a complex feeling that was hard to describe.

"How could the Xu family, with such a reputation, ever submit to anyone!"

Mo family.

Mo Wenshang looked at the intelligence report in front of him with a calm expression, but his eyes were filled with turbulent emotions: "Suspected to be Ye Fan who has formed his core?"
Who else in the Xu family could it be but him!
Could it be his son?!

Mo Wenshang sighed softly and relayed the message to Mo Wentian.

Mo Wentian opened his eyes and looked out the window at the black jade bamboo forest. "Fellow Daoist Xu, your Xu family is truly remarkable."

With his talent and background, he's probably already at the stage of supernatural power and has reached the Core Formation stage.

I'm so envious!

But the sheer power of your Xu family only inspires fear.

So afraid that they want to nip your Xu family in the bud before it can fully grow.

Of the three favors, one remains.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, did you foresee today's situation back then?"

Mo Wentian never expected that the Xu family would rise so quickly, to the point that they were now rivaling the Mo family.

"However, as long as the Xu family does not produce a Nascent Soul cultivator, they will not be able to truly compete for the position of Lord of the Heavenly Cang."

"But knowing your personality, you would never sit idly by like this. What exactly is your trump card?"

Mo Wentian had been waiting for the Xu family to make a move before he could truly retaliate.

But the Xu family is too patient. They have ambitions to compete, but they don't go all out. They are secretive and don't know what they are hiding, making them unpredictable.

Lei family.

Lei Wuji was instructing his clan's younger generation, Lei Fa, when he received the news. He frowned: "The Xu family has another member who has formed a core. Is it Ye Fan?"
Yes, who else could it be but him!

Having developed in Tiancang Prefecture for over thirty years, from a weak Foundation Establishment family to a top Golden Core force, four people have successively achieved Golden Core in just over a decade.

I wonder if Xu Mingxian has already formed his core in the Xuan Yue Sect.

If they have also formed their cores, then they will be five prodigies from the same family, all of whom have reached the Golden Core stage!
That's really something to be envious of.

Tiancang City and other forces that were paying attention to the Yunxi Xu family also received the news soon afterward.

Amazement, envy, fear, vigilance... all sorts of emotions spread in the hearts of those in power from different factions.

Regardless of how they view the Xu family, one undeniable fact is already before them: the Yunxi Xu family, a family that has risen to prominence in just a few decades, has already reached a height that ordinary Golden Core families can only look up to.

These are just five Golden Core cultivators, but their combat strength is probably no less than that of top Golden Core families.

The only thing lacking is the foundation in Qi Refining and Foundation Building.

With the number of Golden Core cultivators already set, the remaining issues are simply the creation of more people and the time required.

Perhaps in just a few decades, the Xu family will truly possess the foundation of a top-tier Golden Core family.

soon.

The phenomenon of Core Formation disappeared.

With the help of an ancient secret technique, Ye Fan also reached the peak of the first level of the Golden Core after his breakthrough, saving him seven or eight years of arduous cultivation.

Xu Mansion.

After Ye Fan broke through his barrier, he came to pay his respects to Xu Chuan.

Xu Deling also rushed back from Tianling Sect to offer his congratulations.

"Ye Fan, congratulations! You've finally reached the Core Formation stage. Reaching it before the age of fifty is quite an achievement. Your cultivation speed will likely stay at the top of our Xu family's rankings for a long time."

"I just had some luck. Sister Ruoling, you also started cultivating after the Xu family became powerful, so you're probably not much slower than me."

"Not bad, you haven't gotten too arrogant yet." Xu Deling grinned.

Then Ye Fan cupped his hands to Xu Chuan and said, "Disciple has lived up to Master's expectations and has finally formed the Golden Core!"

"With your strength, you are already the number one person in the Cao family. Do you want to go back and take revenge?"

Mentioning the Cao family, Ye Fan clenched his fists tightly, but then slowly relaxed them. "This disciple will go back to take revenge, but I dare not ruin Master's plans."

I will follow Master's arrangements in everything.

Xu Chuan smiled with relief, "No rush, I will help you relieve your inner turmoil before the demonic calamity descends."

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Deling said, "By the way, Grandfather, now that Ye Fan has achieved the Golden Core stage, will Yunxi City hold a Golden Core Ceremony?"

"Ye Fan, what do you mean?"

"Uncle-Master Mo Yue is about to undergo his tribulation, so let's skip it."

"Alright," Xu Chuan said. "There's something I need to tell you all. Now that you've all reached the Core Formation stage, those of you who should go out and gain experience should go out and explore other prefectures."

The time was set three months after Mo Yue's tribulation.

What do you think?

Ye Fan and Xu Deling remained silent, but Xu Deyue said, "Actually, my granddaughter was just about to mention this. My master told me that there is a secret realm that can help me comprehend supernatural powers and transform my physique."

They planned to take me to find it.

Ye Fan looked over in surprise, and then immediately said, "Then I'll go too."

"And you, Deling?" Xu Chuan looked at her.

"I have traveled to many places with Master Huoyun, but I don't care much about training. Forging weapons and cultivating supernatural powers have kept me busy enough."

Of course, if there really is such a secluded opportunity, then perhaps it's worth a trip.

"Very well, then so be it. Anyway, after you reach the Golden Core stage, you must remember to pay more attention to tempering your will, temperament, and Dao heart."

Relying solely on innate talent will eventually reach its limits.

"Yes, Grandfather (Master)!" the three said in unison, bowing with their hands clasped.

A few moments.

Xu Deyue then said, "Grandfather, Fei'er and her husband have been traveling for several months. We don't know how they are doing. Could you please tell us?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him. As long as he doesn't die, I can save him!"

Xu Chuan's words made it clear that the two might encounter danger, but not death.

"Then I'll leave it to Grandfather."

"Yes, but you and Ye Fan should also try to have a few more children. Such good bloodline should not be wasted. It should be used to expand the family line."

"Uh~"

Ye Fan, feeling pressured to have children, chuckled dryly twice, subconsciously scratching the back of his head, a somewhat naive and helpless smile on his face, as he secretly glanced at Xu Deyue beside him.

Xu Deyue's originally cool and aloof face suddenly flushed with a blush like the sunset, which spread all the way to her ears.

She immediately turned to Xu Chuan, and with a rare, girlish, coquettish tone, protested, "Grandfather! You're not being fair!"

Why are you staring at my husband and me?
Sister Ling... she doesn't even have a Daoist partner yet, why don't you urge her to find one first?

Her talent is among the best in the Xu family.

"Deyue, why did you bring this war to me for no reason? Your sister only seeks the Dao and immortality in this life, and has no interest in the matter of a Daoist partner."

Xu Deling chuckled and said, "If you had firmly refused Grandfather back then, you might be single like me now, or perhaps..."

She revealed a malicious look, "Why don't you divorce Ye Fan, just like me?"

"Sister Ling, you're so mean! Don't try to sow discord between my husband and me."

"Hehe, I'm just teasing you." Xu Deling said, "The matter of Daoist partners also depends on fate, so I'll just let things take their course."

"That's true. In the entire Tiannan region, there are very few people who are worthy of you, Sister Ling."

Half a month later.

Tiancang Sect, outside the mountain gate.

As dusk approached, the setting sun shone like blood.

A dim streak of light streaked across the sky, growing slower and slower until, like a bird with broken wings, it crashed down a hundred feet from the mountain gate, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"what is that?"

The disciples guarding the mountain gate were startled by the commotion and cautiously stepped forward with their weapons to investigate.

As the dust settled and the face and clothing of the person on the ground became clear, the disciples gasped in shock.

"It's...it's Elder Chen!"

"Quickly! Report this! Elder Chen is seriously injured!"

The person on the ground is Chen Changge, an elder of the Tiancang Sect.

His condition was extremely miserable at the moment, his elder's robe was tattered and covered with dark red bloodstains and unknown charred marks.

A gruesome wound ran almost through his body, with the skin and flesh rolled back at the edges, and shattered bones and damaged internal organs were vaguely visible.

Although the bleeding had stopped, a chilling, deathly black aura lingered around the wound, constantly eroding its life force.

His face was ashen, and he was barely breathing; he had fallen into a deep coma.

The disciples dared not delay and immediately assigned two people to carefully lift Chen Changge and quickly send him back to the sect's main hall, while reporting the news as fast as possible.

Not long after.

When Sect Leader Feng Yue arrived at the sect's main hall, he glanced at the body indifferently and scanned it with his divine sense. Seeing the severity of the injuries, he was deeply puzzled.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Go and invite the Grand Elder to come and take a look."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The disciple immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned and left.

Before long, True Monarch Qingmu arrived at the main hall, strode forward, extended two fingers and pressed them lightly on Chen Changge's wrist pulse, while his powerful divine sense carefully swept over his body, especially focusing on probing his sea of ​​consciousness.

A moment later, he withdrew his hand and began to form hand seals. Streams of azure spiritual energy flowed into his body, helping to stabilize his vital signs.

After a long while, True Monarch Qingmu let out a long breath and finished his incantation, saying, "His life has been temporarily saved, but his injuries are too severe and his body is poisoned. If that were all, he could still be cured."

However, his dantian is still damaged, with a cold, deathly aura lingering there. Even if he manages to expel the deathly aura, his cultivation level will gradually decline, dropping to the Foundation Establishment stage or even the Qi Refining stage.

Of course, this is on the condition that he wakes up.

Besides his dantian, his soul was severely damaged, almost cracked, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"It's that serious, what exactly happened to him?" Xi Fengyue frowned.

Qingmu Zhenjun looked at Xi Fengyue and said, "How could Elder Chen be so seriously injured? I didn't see him when I came out of seclusion last time. Where did he go?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xi Fengyue said, "Let's go to the Black Wind Mountains to find the Polar Star Flower."

"You sent him?"

"Yes." Xi Fengyue's voice was flat, but it carried a coldness. "Chen Changge wants to leave the Tiancang Sect."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Shinjun's gaze sharpened.

Xi Fengyue continued, "The sect rules are strict; how can he just quit whenever he wants?"

"So I gave him a choice: go to the Black Wind Mountains and find a Polar Star Flower. If he could bring it back, it would be enough to settle his ties with the sect, and I would allow him to leave."

After all, the Polar Star Flower is related to the ancestor's soul injury. As long as the ancestor's soul injury is restored, most of the predicament of our Tiancang Sect can be resolved.

The Mo family, the Lei family, and the Xu family—how dare they be so arrogant again!

After listening, Qingmu Zhenjun pondered for a moment and said, "You did a good job, but I don't know what he encountered in the Black Wind Mountains to be so seriously injured."

"Elder, do you think it's possible that Chen Changge has discovered the whereabouts of the Polaris Flower?"

"Who knows?" Qingmu Zhenjun glanced at Chen Changge and sighed softly. "Our sect's remaining soul-healing pills have already been given to the Ancestor."

To wake him up, at least a high-grade Nourishing Spirit Pill would be needed to stimulate his soul. If he were to be cured, perhaps only the Extreme Star Pill would suffice.

Moreover, even if he were healed, I, the elder, would be helpless regarding the injury to his dantian.

"Elder, what should we do now?"

"Send him back to his cave and let the Chen family disciples in the sect take care of him."

"That's all it can do."

Chen Changge's cave.

Two members of the Chen family, Chen Yusong and Chen Yubai, who had been sent to visit him, stood frozen a few feet in front of the bed, as if struck by lightning.

Their faces were deathly pale, their pupils dilated, and they stared intently at their ancestor, who lay on the bed, his body as pale as gold paper and barely breathing.

I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head, and my limbs and bones felt cold and numb.

"Ancestor... Ancestor..." Chen Yusong's voice trembled, "Ancestor, how could he be injured like this?!"

Chen Yubai was slightly older, but his lips trembled, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

The Chen family has only one Golden Core cultivator, Chen Changge.

If he dies, the Chen family will be like a building about to collapse, and will once again experience the oppression of more than two hundred years ago.

Back then, the Chen family also had an ancestor who had reached the Core Formation stage, but he perished while traveling for only a few decades. Now, Chen Changge is experiencing a similar fate.

"Could this be a curse on my Chen family?!" Chen Yubai said through gritted teeth.

“Cousin,” Chen Yusong looked at Chen Yubai in a panic, “what… what should we do now?”

"Let's find out the specific situation of our ancestor first. Cousin, you stay here and guard our ancestor. I'll be right back."

"Understood, cousin."

More than two hours later.

Chen Yubai returned, his face ashen.

When Chen Yusong inquired about the situation, Chen Yubai explained, which shocked Chen Yusong so much that he stumbled and fell to the ground. "Is he beyond saving?!"

"His physical body is poisoned, his dantian is damaged, and most seriously, his soul is injured, preventing him from waking up. I learned from the other disciples that this was the result of the First Elder, True Monarch Qingmu, personally examining him."

The sect has apparently abandoned our ancestor.

"Then what should happen to my Chen family?" Chen Yusong muttered to himself. Chen Yubai sighed and said, "Our Chen family already incurred the displeasure of the sect's higher-ups when we moved to Yunxi City last time. Now that our ancestor is like this, they will be even less likely to care."

"Oh right, there's also Yunxi City!" He suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Our ancestor is on good terms with True Lord Ku Rong, and my cousin Yu Lian has married Xu Chongfei, the only heir of the Xu family. Perhaps we can ask the family head to plead with the Xu family."

"Cousin, you stay here and look after the patriarch. I'm going back to the clan."

Yunxi City Outer City, East District.

Chen family mansion.

A streak of light flew over at lightning speed and landed in front of the mansion.

The copper nails on the vermilion gate gleamed with a cold, hard luster in the twilight. The two guards standing at the gate were tall and straight, with calm and composed auras; both were late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

One of the guards recognized the newcomer and immediately clasped his hands in greeting, "Young Master Yu Bai, what brings you back all of a sudden?"

"Where is the patriarch? I need to see him!" Chen Yubai had no time for pleasantries or explanations at this moment and asked anxiously.

"The head of the family should be in the Hall of State Affairs." Seeing his expression, the guard dared not ask any further questions.

"The Hall of State Affairs..."

Chen Yubai murmured to himself, his figure already passing between the two guards like a gust of wind, and swept straight into the mansion.

"What's wrong with Young Master Yubai?" Another guard scratched his head, puzzled.

"It's none of our business, so let's mind our own business," the guard who had spoken earlier said coldly.

Political Hall.

Chen Yubai barged in without even having time to announce his arrival.

Hearing the noise, Chen Tianfang looked up and saw the person who had come. He frowned and said, "Yubai, what are you doing here?"

"Our ancestor was severely injured and fell into a coma; his fate is unknown."

"How could this be?!" Chen Tianfang exclaimed upon hearing this devastating news, but refused to believe it. He sternly rebuked Chen Tianfang, "Stop talking nonsense and cursing the ancestor! Do you want to be punished according to the clan rules?!"

“Patriarch, what your nephew said is true. The ancestor is currently lying on his bed in the cave of the Tiancang Sect, and his life or death is unknown. Yusong is taking care of him.”

Chen Tianfang's face turned deathly pale. He stood up abruptly, and the bench behind him crashed to the ground with a thud.

Then, Chen Yubai explained the specific details.

Chen Tianfang then remembered what Chen Changge had said to him a few months ago.

His face was filled with sorrow, his eyes flickered, and then he said, "Even if I go to the Heavenly Azure Sect to visit the Ancestor, it will be of no use."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Yubai, come with me to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Yes, master."

Chen Yubai originally intended to suggest the same thing to Chen Tianfang, but it was clear that he had also thought of the Chen family's only lifeline.

The city lord's mansion is located in the inner city and cannot be entered at will.

Only after being informed can one proceed to the city lord's mansion for an audience, escorted by soldiers from the inner city.

The city lord's mansion, aside from matters such as taxation or public security, generally doesn't interfere with the affairs of the outer city, allowing it to develop freely.

The Chen and Xu families are related by marriage, so it is quite easy for them to pay a visit.

City Lord's Mansion.

hall.

"Seventh Steward, is the City Lord here?"

"The master is in seclusion for cultivation. Unless it is important, Patriarch Chen, please do not disturb him."

Chen Tianfang said, "I understand, but this matter concerns the safety of my ancestor. Please, for the sake of the relationship between my ancestor and True Monarch Kurong, inform him of this matter."

I wish to request an audience with the True Lord of Withering and Flourishing.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Zhuqi sent a message to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan didn't want anyone else to disturb Xu Chuan, so he came from the Xu residence to the city lord's mansion to meet Chen Tianfang in person.

"Patriarch Chen, if there's something you need to tell me, I'll weigh the options and decide whether to inform my master."

Helpless, Chen Tianfang made Chen Yubai tell the whole story.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is on the verge of death?" Ye Fan was astonished. "How could he have suffered such a serious injury for no reason?"

Chen Yubai clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "This junior did not know."

“I might know a thing or two,” Chen Tianfang said. “A few months ago, the patriarch told me that he was going to leave the Tiancang Sect, but he had to go to the Black Wind Mountains to do something.”

He must have been injured in the Black Wind Mountains.

"The Ancestor is leaving the Heavenly Azure Sect?!" Chen Yubai exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with confusion. "Why so suddenly?"

"I don't know exactly what the ancestor was thinking."

Chen Tianfang bowed to Ye Fan and solemnly said, "Please inform True Monarch Kurong, Lord City Lord, so that he may come to our rescue."

My Chen family is willing to do everything in our power to repay this kindness!

Ye Fan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I am aware of this matter. You two wait here while I go and inquire with my master."

After leaving the hall, he sent a message to Xu Chuan, explaining the whole story.

Xu Mansion.

Beneath the withered and flourishing tree.

Upon receiving the message, Xu Chuan looked surprised. "Chen Changge wanted to leave the Tiancang Sect to handle some business in the Black Wind Mountains, but he returned severely injured and is now on the verge of death?"

He immediately did some calculations with his fingers.

"So you were looking for the Polar Star Flower." Xu Chuan smiled faintly and muttered to himself, "This is an extremely precious spiritual herb, much rarer than the Crimson Marrow Flower that Ye Fan brought back."

The Polar Star Flower is a spiritual medicine for the soul. The Polar Star Pill refined from it can heal 90% of the soul injuries of Golden Core cultivators, and it also has a good effect on Nascent Soul cultivators.

"If Xi Daoyun obtains the Polar Star Pill, it should be able to heal most of his soul injuries, and the rest can be slowly cured by recuperation."

Xu Chuan just calculated that, in addition to discovering that Chen Changge went to the Black Wind Mountains to search for the Polar Star Flower, he also discovered that Chen Changge had clues about the Polar Star Flower on him.

Then, he deduced the location of the Polaris Flower.

However, no specific information was obtained; all that was known was that there were indeed traces of the Polar Star Flower in the Black Wind Mountains.

"There are no Polaris Flowers in the Xu Clan's Grotto-Heaven. If we transplant one there, we won't be helpless if any Golden Core cultivator in our Xu Clan suffers a severe injury to their soul."

Xu Chuan has just begun to understand the true meaning of life and death, and can heal some simple injuries to the soul. As for physical injuries, he can basically heal them as long as they are not like damage to the dantian or missing limbs.

With his soul severely damaged, he was helpless and could only rely on appropriate elixirs.

"For the sake of our past friendship and the whereabouts of the Polaris Flower, let's make the trip."

Having made up his mind, Xu Chuan no longer hesitated.

With a slight thought, a faint blue light flowed around his body, and he immediately created a beam of light and flew towards the city lord's mansion.

The main hall of the city lord's mansion.

"Gentlemen, Master has granted your request and will return immediately. Please wait here for a moment," Ye Fan said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianfang was overjoyed and immediately bowed respectfully to Ye Fan: "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Ye. The Chen family will remember this kindness!"

Chen Yubai also bowed deeply.

A few moments.

With a flash of light, Xu Chuan, dressed in a green robe, appeared at the entrance of the hall and walked in with a composed gait.

"Master." Ye Fan bowed respectfully.

The two members of the Chen family also bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, True Lord Ku Rong."

Xu Chuan glanced at the two of them, nodded slightly, and said, "I am already aware of Fellow Daoist Chen's matter. Without further ado, I will accompany you to the Tiancang Sect to see how Fellow Daoist Chen's injuries are."

"Thank you, True Lord!" Chen Tianfang bowed again.

“You’re traveling too slowly, let me give you a ride.”

After saying this, Xu Chuan waved his sleeve, and a beam of azure light swept up Chen Tianfang and Chen Yubai. He then used his escape technique to fly towards the Tiancang Sect.

Less than half an incense stick.

The light descended to the front of the Tiancang Sect's mountain gate.

The two Foundation Establishment disciples on duty saw a beam of light suddenly descend and immediately went forward on alert.

One of the disciples, who had a mature appearance, glanced over and recognized Chen Yubai first. He then cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Chen."

Xu Chuan then glanced at the other two. He concealed his aura, which Chen couldn't discern, so he asked curiously, "Senior Brother Chen, who are these two?"

"This is the head of my Chen family, and this is the True Lord Ku Rong."

"True Lord Kurong?!" The two disciples immediately bowed and respectfully said, "Junior greets True Lord Kurong. What brings you here, True Lord?"

"Having heard that Fellow Daoist Chen Changge is seriously injured, I, Xu, have come to visit him and check on his injuries."

"I see, please come in, True Lord."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly and entered the Tiancang Sect with the other two before taking off and flying towards Chen Changge's cave.

The two disciples then reported the matter.

A moment's work.

The news then reached Aoki Shinjun.

As for True Monarch Binggan, although he is powerful, he rarely manages sect affairs and focuses on cultivation. Unless there is a major event, he will not be disturbed.

"Xu Chuan is here?" Qingmu Zhenjun muttered to himself, "Indeed, he has a good relationship with Chen Changge."

With the intention of investigating Xu Chuan's current realm, True Monarch Qingmu also rushed towards Chen Changge's cave.

The group met at the entrance of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Kurong," True Monarch Qingmu greeted with a smile and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu," Xu Chuan returned the greeting.

As for Chen Yubai and Chen Tianfang, they also cupped their hands and said, "Greetings, Elder (True Lord Qingmu)."

"No need for formalities, let's go in and see Elder Chen together," said True Monarch Qingmu.

He probed Xu Chuan with his divine sense and thought to himself, "The third level of the Golden Core stage, this cultivation speed is indeed not slow."

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that it will take a long time for him to fully mature. The primary concern of our Tiancang Sect right now is still the Mo family."

Arriving at the bedside, Xu Chuan began to examine Chen Changge's injuries.

Aoki Shinjun then briefly explained the results of his investigation.

Russian qing.

Xu Chuan withdrew his divine sense and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Qingmu's judgment is correct; Fellow Daoist Chen's injuries this time are indeed very serious."

"It's a pity about Elder Chen. He was quite talented among the elders of the Tiancang Sect. He had a great chance of reaching the Golden Core stage and becoming a pillar of our sect."

Xu Chuan looked at True Monarch Qingmu and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Chen, now that you're in this state, I wonder what your sect plans to do?"

"Fellow Daoist Kurong, what do you mean by this?" True Monarch Qingmu raised an eyebrow.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Chen was ordered to go to the Black Wind Mountains to find some kind of precious spiritual medicine because he wanted to leave your sect, and now he has been injured like this."

Without treatment, he will surely die within six months.

Qingmu Zhenjun was slightly taken aback, surprised that Xu Chuan knew so much, but after pondering for a few breaths, he said: "The sect has its rules. If you want to leave the sect, you will naturally have to pay the price."

Otherwise, if everyone followed suit, wouldn't the world descend into chaos?

In the future, which sect will dare to recruit disciples, and which family will be willing to recruit guest ministers and retainers?

"No matter where this matter is placed, the actions of my Heavenly Azure Sect are entirely without fault."

Immediately afterward, he added, "The Chen family is not affiliated with the Tiancang Sect. Our sect can turn a blind eye to their relocation to Yunxi City."

But Elder Chen is a registered Golden Core elder of our sect, and he receives a monthly stipend of resources and spirit stones; he has never been mistreated in the slightest.

“Fellow Daoist Qingmu, I didn’t say anything, so you don’t need to be so explicit. I just wanted to ask whether your sect will save Fellow Daoist Chen or not?”

Aoki Shinjun frowned. "There is truly nothing we can do."

"In that case, why don't I take the person back for a test? Fellow Daoist Qingmu, would you be willing?"

"Take them back to your Yunxi City?"

Xu Chuan nodded.

"This..." Qingmu Zhenjun pondered, thinking to himself, "Could it be that Xu Chuan really has a way to heal? With injuries to the physical body, dantian, and soul, he should be in a situation close to death."

Xu Chuan said, "Fellow Daoist Qingmu, are you perhaps unwilling to let Fellow Daoist Chen die slowly like this, rather than let me give him a chance to heal him?"

Chen Tianfang immediately bowed to Qingmu Zhenjun and said, "I beg Qingmu Zhenjun to have mercy and allow Kurong Zhenjun to take my grandfather away to heal his wounds."

"That's all."

Qingmu Zhenjun waved his hand and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Kurong is willing to give it a try, then take Elder Chen away. But regardless of whether he lives or dies, Elder Chen must be sent back."

"Thank you."

They did not linger and immediately left the Tiancang Sect.

Chen Yubai and Chen Yusong also left.

Aoki Shinjun stroked his beard, his eyes slightly gleaming. "What exactly is Xu Chuan up to? The two of them do have some acquaintance, but not to this extent."

He specializes in wood-based techniques and also possesses healing abilities, so he can accurately determine that curing Chen Changge would require a tremendous price.

Even ordinary Nascent Soul sects might not be able to produce these pills that can heal dantian injuries and severe soul damage.

"Still so unpredictable."

With a soft sigh, Qingmu Zhenjun watched the group disappear into the horizon before returning to his cave.

Yunxi City.

Xu Chuan used his magic to form a protective shield, carrying Chen Changge back.

He suddenly spoke up, "The three of you should go back to the Chen residence. I will take Fellow Daoist Chen to my place of residence, which is not convenient for receiving guests."

However, regardless of whether he recovers or not, Xu will have someone notify you.

"Thank you, True Lord Kurong." The three bowed in thanks.

They parted ways there.

The Xu residence is located within the inner city of Yunxi City.

Xu Chuan Courtyard.

Mo Yue suddenly emerged from the deep pool, staring at Chen Changge beside Xu Chuan, and said in a deep voice, "Why did you bring him here? Judging from his breathing, he seems very weak, almost dead?"

"more or less."

"Then you want to save him?"

Xu Chuan nodded slightly.

"He's just an outsider with whom you have a good relationship. He's not a member of the Xu family. Why bother with all this effort? Saving him will definitely cost you a lot."

Xu Chuan smiled faintly: "The body was poisoned by the demonic beast, the internal organs were eroded, the foundation of the dantian was damaged, and the soul was severely injured to the point of falling into a coma."

He has at most six months to live.

"Uh, why did you save him? He's definitely a dead man."

"But he knows the whereabouts of the Polaris Flower, a precious pill among third-tier pills that repairs the soul. Its effects are very significant, and it has good effects on fourth-tier transformed demons and Nascent Soul cultivators."

"You must heal me properly and find out the whereabouts of the Polaris Flower!"

Mo Yue's eyes lit up.

Who knows if he will suffer severe soul trauma when he becomes a powerful demon in human form?

The more of these medicinal herbs the better; we must collect them early and plant them so that we can be prepared for the future.
