Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 321 Nine Netherworld Python, "Mark of Death" Completed! (Seeking subscriptions and monthly votes!)

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled faintly.

I knew it would turn out this way.

Having been by Xu Chuan's side for a long time, Mo Yue has become more and more like Xu Chuan in his way of doing things.

Immediately, Xu Chuan took Chen Changge to a side room to treat his injuries.

In addition to the areas designated by each branch of the Xu family, there are also public side rooms and courtyards within the Xu residence.

The room was simply and elegantly furnished. Xu Chuan placed Chen Changge on a couch covered with a clean jade mat.

Qingmu Zhenjun once judged that in order for Chen Changge to awaken, he would need to be stimulated by a high-grade soul-nourishing pill.

That's correct.

However, Xu Chuan had other methods.

He had fully comprehended the true meaning of life and death, touching upon the very essence of life and death. The life and death power derived from it was extremely profound and had an effect on both physical healing and spiritual injuries.

Xu Chuan stood quietly in front of the bed for a moment, his eyes slightly closed, and his aura suddenly became ethereal and profound.

He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips shimmering with a strange light that intertwined gray and green.

The light was not dazzling, but it seemed to contain the profound truth that plants wither and flourish every year, and all things live and die in a cycle.

He pointed his finger and the light, like a gentle stream, slowly flowed into Chen Changge's brow.

Time passes by.

Half an hour later, Chen Changge's tightly closed eyelids twitched a few times, and a very faint groan came from his throat. His eyelashes trembled, and he finally opened his eyes with difficulty, making a small crack.

"Fellow Daoist Xu?" Chen Changge's voice was hoarse and dry, and he was very surprised after seeing the person in front of him.

"Where am I?"

"In the side room of the Xu residence, I brought you back from the Tiancang Sect. Although I have awakened you, your injuries..."

Xu Chuan didn't say much.

Chen Changge was fully aware of his injuries.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"How did you end up in such a state?"

Chen Changge gave a brief account, during which he also mentioned the Polaris Flower.

"Although I was lucky enough to discover the location of the Polar Star Flower, there was a peak third-tier demon beast there. I used all my trump cards and even self-destructed my natal magic weapon to escape with my life."

"It is truly remarkable that they escaped from a peak third-tier demonic beast."

Chen Changge clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xu, do you have a way to cure me?"

Xu Chuan remained silent.

Upon seeing this, Chen Changge guessed that Xu Chuan might have a solution, but at a considerable cost, and thus hesitated.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said, "If Fellow Daoist Xu is willing to save me, I, Chen, am willing to reveal the location of the Polar Star Flower."

There were five Polaris flowers there, but only two were mature; the rest looked very green.

Xu Chuan remained silent.

Chen Changge continued, "Besides this, I am willing to have my soul restricted, and my life will belong to you from now on."

Xu Chuan looked at him with surprise, "Fellow Daoist Chen, why are you doing this?"

He gave a bitter smile, "Actually, the reason I, Chen, am leaving the Tiancang Sect is that I was thinking of coming to rely on you, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"Although the Tiancang Sect has declined, it is still the largest power in Tiancang Prefecture, and its foundation remains strong. Why does Fellow Daoist Chen need to come and rely on my Xu family?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, are you willing to hear the truth?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please speak. I am all ears."

"After the battle between the two prefectures, Chen believed that the fortune of the Tiancang Sect had been lost and there was no possibility of continuing its glory. He originally wanted to break away from the Qingmu Sect, but the Tiancang Sect suddenly decided to merge the three sects."

The three sects were originally vassals, so they were unable to resist and were easily merged.
Subsequently, the Mo family, the Xu family, and the Lei family all built cities.

The Heavenly Cang Sect appears to be merging the seven cities to fight against them, but this cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

Today, the four forces in Cangfu are engaged in open and covert struggles. It seems that Tiancang Sect is in first place, Mo Family is second, Xu Family is third, and Lei Family is last.

But in Chen's view, the Xu family was the most likely to become the future rulers of Tiancang Prefecture.

Xu Chuan's pupils contracted slightly. "Brother Chen, aren't you overestimating the Xu family?"

Chen Changge suddenly asked, "Is the formation of the Nascent Soul stage by the Mo family patriarch related to you, Fellow Daoist Xu?"

"Why do you say that?"

"This is just my guess. Last time the Jade Bamboo Secret Realm opened, you were invited to meet it. Several years later, the Mo family patriarch successfully formed his Nascent Soul. It should be because there was a corresponding opportunity to form a Nascent Soul in the Jade Bamboo Secret Realm."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you so certain?"

"This may be a coincidence, but it is a recent event that made Mr. Chen so certain."

"Oh, what is it?" Xu Chuan became interested and wanted to see what evidence he had.

"Four families are vying for supremacy. The potential of your Xu family is evident to the other three families. The Lei family can do nothing against your Xu family. The Supreme Elder of the Tiancang Sect is severely injured and unable to make a move."

However, the Mo family patriarch did not suffer any serious injury.

If it were me, unless the Xu family had some leverage over me, such as something related to my Nascent Soul stage, I would swear not to take action against them.

Otherwise, even if they don't act openly to save face, they will definitely kill them in secret and eliminate all the prodigies of your Xu family.

In this way, there will be no threat to the Mo family in the future.

Connecting the dots from previous coincidences, Chen finally realized that the formation of the Mo family patriarch's Nascent Soul was related to Brother Xu.

Xu Chuan smiled lightly, "Even if Fellow Daoist Chen's guess is correct, my Xu family does not have any Nascent Soul stage cultivators after all. No matter how powerful I am, or how many geniuses the Xu family has."

Ultimately, he could never become the ruler of the heavens.

After all, if a Nascent Soul cultivator truly wanted to eradicate a force at all costs, they absolutely could.

"Therefore, Chen guessed that the Xu family must have some trump cards. Even if not now, they must have a way to contend with Nascent Soul cultivators in the near future, within a few years, or even ten years."

If it goes any longer, neither the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Cang Sect nor the Mo Family Ancestor will be able to resist killing him.

Even if the Mo family patriarch himself cannot take action, he may be able to ask others to do so.

The struggle for the title of Lord of Tiancang Prefecture will inevitably reach a fever pitch at a certain stage. At that point, it will either be a fight to the death, or one side will become too powerful and the others will submit.

When Fellow Daoist Xu opened the Jade Bamboo Secret Realm, he must have foreseen this situation. He probably even anticipated that the attack from Tiancang Palace would lead to a mutually destructive outcome.

Based on Chen's understanding of you, you shouldn't be working so hard in the battle between the two governments, since it doesn't really concern your Xu family.

If your ambitions lie elsewhere in Tiancang Prefecture, you may move your entire family here. After all, your Xu family has little influence here and few relatives.

With your extraordinary abilities, plus the other prodigies of the Xu family, carving out a path to escape shouldn't be difficult."

After a pause, Chen Changge looked at Xu Chuan and said, "I believe that Tiancang Prefecture will definitely belong to the Xu family in the future, which is why I decided to leave Tiancang Sect in order to avoid being caught in the crossfire in the future."

If Mr. Chen were to perish, in this turbulent Tiancang Prefecture, my Chen family would likely find it very difficult to survive.

Hundreds of years of foundation will be severed.

Xu Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. He hadn't expected Chen Changge to be able to guess to this extent. He had really underestimated Chen Changge's intelligence in the past.

Of course, Xu Chuan was cautious and confident that he would not leave any evidence, so what Chen Changge said could only be speculation.

However, his statements are interconnected, and if they were to be publicized...

That would inevitably cause great trouble for the Xu family.

For a fleeting moment, Xu Chuan even felt a surge of murderous intent.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, I am already a dying man, which is why I have revealed everything without reservation. If I can fully recover, I will only stay in the Xu family.”

Chen Changge saw this clearly.

Xu Chuan is not used to leaving himself with future troubles. Even if they are his former sworn brothers and friends, he will not show any mercy if they threaten the Xu family.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you flatter me. While I am not entirely confident in curing you, I am still somewhat certain. However, the key is to find the Polar Star Flower."

"Your soul is severely injured; without the Extreme Star Pill, it can only extend your lifespan by a few years at most."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changge was overjoyed, a great weight lifted from his heart. He immediately clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu."

Xu Chuan agreed to save Chen Changge not only because he said Chen Changge posed a threat to the Xu family and needed to be kept under control, but also because he valued talent and intended to take him in.

In a few more months, when Mo Yue undergoes his tribulation, the Xu family will truly begin to distinguish themselves.

Although Ye Fan is the city lord of Yunxi City, he mainly focuses on his own cultivation, and the affairs of Yunxi City are handled by Wu Zhuqi and other members of the Wu clan.

However, their strength was ultimately insufficient to control the situation.

The affairs of Yunxi City will only increase in the future.

If Chen Changge submits to the Xu family from this point on, he can become the deputy city lord of Yunxi City and handle the affairs of Yunxi City.

"Then please, Fellow Daoist Xu, set up a soul restriction for me now, as a sign of my sincerity."

Xu Chuan looked at Chen Changge and smiled faintly, "Let's talk about it after your soul injury has healed. Right now, your soul is on the verge of shattering."

"Relying solely on my power to maintain this, the soul-binding restriction won't be enough for you."

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Xu. I will now inform you of the location of the Polar Star Flower."

Chen Changge briefly explained the location of the Polar Star Flower, as well as the strength of the demon beast and its signature moves. Soon after, he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.

With his life-and-death Daoist energy completely depleted, Chen Changge fell into a deep sleep once more.

Xu Chuan began to heal his injuries.

The injuries to his physical body and internal organs would be troublesome for others, but Xu Chuan's understanding of the Dao has made him extremely adept at healing.

Therefore, the repairs were completed in less than two hours.

The chilling death energy lingering in his dantian was a bit troublesome, as it was an innate divine ability of a peak third-tier demon beast, and it took half a day to completely eliminate it.

"If the dantian is damaged and not healed, even if the soul injury is restored, the cultivation level will drop over time."

Xu Chuan sighed softly, "Well, in the future, I will have to uphold the reputation of Yunxi City. Without the strength of a Golden Core cultivator, it won't work."

Moreover, with Chen Changge's Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude, once his injuries heal, he will be able to cultivate to the Golden Core Perfection stage in the future.

For a worker who reaches the Golden Core Perfection level in the future, Xu Chuan could refine a Life and Death Pill for him.

Just then, the Xu family also gathered all the materials for the Life and Death Pill.

After several hours of meditation, Xu Chuan went into seclusion to refine pills. It took him a day or two to refine a batch of Life and Death Pills.

There are seven in total, including four of superior quality, two of medium quality, and one of inferior quality.

This is more difficult to make than the Elixir of Withering and Flourishing.

A superior-grade Life and Death Pill, in addition to repairing damage to the dantian, can also expand the dantian's energy sea, which is also a great fortune.

Of course, this pill can only be taken by those whose dantian is damaged. If someone with an intact dantian takes it, it may even cause their own dantian to collapse.

Since there was only one set of materials, Xu Chuan kept the roots of the auxiliary spiritual herbs and planted them in the "Xu Clan Grotto".

With such gradual accumulation, the medicinal garden of "Xu Clan Grotto Heaven" will surely become the foundation for the Xu Clan's future cultivation.

After refining the elixir, Xu Chuan took Mo Yue with him to the Black Wind Mountains.

On the way, Xu Chuan instructed, "You don't need to take action this time. Just suppress it with the pressure of the True Dragon."

That was a peak third-tier Nine Nether Earth Python. Although it was weaker than you, its strength was considerable. Its innate divine ability carried the aura of death from the netherworld, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

If you are injured, trouble is sure to follow on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

"Understood," Mo Yue said seriously. "Then can you handle it alone?"

“I could have killed it even without you, but the pressure of your true dragon suppressing it makes things much easier for me.”

"That is right, the true dragon is the head of all spirits!"

"When the dragon's might is unleashed, all beasts bow their heads!"

Mo Yue proudly declared, head held high.

In addition, Xu Chuan also felt that this might be an opportunity for him.

Since the end of the great war, the condensation speed of the "Life and Death Seal" has become extremely slow. Although the life and death energies are now close to completion, at this rate, it will probably still take several years.

However, the Nine Nether Earth Python possesses pure death energy. If one absorbs its death energy, one might achieve mastery of the "Death Energy" path.

He also found the opportunity to achieve great success in the "vitality of life".

Several days later, deep within the Black Wind Mountains.

This place is shrouded in a gray-black miasma all year round. Ancient trees are gnarled and twisted, their branches and leaves twisted like ghostly claws, making it difficult for light to penetrate. The air is filled with decay and a faint fishy smell.

Following Chen Changge's directions, Xu Chuan arrived at the edge of a secluded valley.

The valley floor was eerily silent, with a small patch of Star Ghost Grass growing in the center, drawing strength from the earth's veins.

At its very center, two strange plants, each about three feet tall, with bodies sculpted like black jade and branches and leaves shimmering with a silvery-white radiance like stars, are quietly blooming.

These are mature Polaris flowers.

There are three lush green plants around it, which are immature Polaris flowers.

The mature Polaris flower glows softly, and is the only sacred thing in this secluded valley filled with yin energy, exuding incomparably pure spiritual energy.

Not far away is a dark, malevolent pool filled with filthy and malevolent things.

That is the dwelling place of the Nine Nether Earth Serpent.

Xu Chuan patted the spirit beast pouch, and a beam of dark blue light shot out, transforming into a ten-foot-long dark blue dragon that hovered in front of him.

As the concentration of the True Dragon bloodline increased, its scales also turned into their current dark blue color.

Xu Chuan suspected that if his bloodline concentration continued to increase, he might completely transform into a black dragon.

"You shall stay here and wait for the Nine Nether Earth Python to appear, then unleash the true dragon's might."

"no problem."

Then Xu Chuan patted the Yin Corpse Bag, and five Xuan Yin Blood Corpses at the peak of the third rank flew towards the secluded valley, but they had not yet gotten close to the Starry Night Grass.

A loud roar erupted from the nearby Earthly Fiend Pool, splashing countless drops of dark green water.

A colossal creature, over twenty feet long, burst forth from the deep pool. Its body was as thick as a palace pillar and covered with thick, black iron-like scales, each scale edge gleaming with a cold, metallic luster.

The triangular head was huge and ferocious, with a pair of vertical pupils that were a murky dark yellow, flashing with cruelty and cunning as they opened and closed.

"This is the Nine Nether Earth Python, indeed a ferocious monster!"

The Nine Netherworld Python flicked its tongue, bringing with it wisps of gray-black death energy, before opening its blood-red maw to bite at the blood corpse.

The five Xuan Yin Blood Corpses formed an array, concentrating their power on the blood corpse at the front.

Its bloodthirsty aura surged several times over, and its body grew to a height of ten feet. With a roar, its fists, wrapped in thick blood light, slammed into the face of the Nine Nether Earth Python like two giant hammers! Although the Xuan Yin Blood Corpses were all at the peak of the third rank, a single Blood Corpse was no match for the Nine Nether Earth Python. Now, the combined power of the five Blood Corpses was barely enough to withstand it.

"Roar!"

Mo Yue's pale golden vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and his body transformed into a dragon over thirty feet long. A powerful and majestic dragon aura, originating from ancient bloodlines, crashed down on the Nine Nether Earth Python like an invisible tsunami!

Although the Nine Nether Earth Python possesses the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast and may be unafraid of the might of a dragon, it still cannot ignore the pressure of a true dragon.

Its vertical pupils flipped, and it quickly noticed the situation in the sky. With a hiss, it immediately took off and charged towards Moyue.

However, its tail was grabbed by five blood corpses, and under their immense force, it was unable to shake them off in time.

Upon seeing this, Xu Chuan flicked his sleeve, and a jet-black "Soul Gathering Banner" swirling with dense Yin energy shot out, instantly enlarging and fluttering loudly.

As he made a hand seal, the "Soul Gathering Banner" shone with intense black light.

A three-zhang-tall, peak-level third-tier Blood Fiend Ghost King, clad in black armor, roared as he charged out.

Immediately afterwards, countless vengeful spirits of various shapes surged out like a black tide, among them five early-stage third-tier vengeful generals clad in iron armor and exuding a chilling aura.

All the Yin spirits, together with the Blood Demon King, unleashed a series of shrill cries, which were like countless sharp thorns piercing the Nine Nether Earth Python's sea of ​​consciousness.

It made it let out a painful scream on the spot.

Unable to muster any strength, he was immediately tossed about by the Xuan Yin Blood Corpses, spun around, and then thrown out, crashing into the opposite mountain wall.

"Pong!"

Countless pebbles tumbled down with a "whoosh".

Immediately afterwards, three more skulls, each about ten feet in size and entirely white, flew out of Xu Chuan's storage ring.

These skulls all emitted a strange "caw caw" laugh as they charged straight toward the Nine Netherworld Serpent.

They are somewhere between supernatural powers and magical treasures, incredibly strange, and capable of breaking through the hard scales of the Nine Netherworld Python.

Mo Yue saw that Xu Chuan's methods were one after another, each one extremely terrifying, enough to easily kill a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, or an ordinary peak third-order demon beast.

However, the Nine Nether Earth Python is indeed ferocious and powerful, with almost no obvious weaknesses.

Its power is formidable, its scales are sturdy, and it carries a dark, deathly aura. If it weren't for the fact that the blood corpses are fearless, a cultivator would probably have run away long ago.

Even a True Monarch who has reached the Golden Core stage and possesses a top-grade magic weapon would probably not dare to provoke him easily.

"You have too many trump cards, and they are all such ferocious things. If I weren't always by your side, I would definitely think you were a demonic cultivator."

"Stop with the empty talk, keep the Dragon's aura pressing down."

As Xu Chuan spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and the six array flags flew away, disappearing into the surrounding valley.

A few moments.

Amidst the rising clouds and mist, a third-order grand formation was successfully set up.

Xu Chuan left behind a cloud-like substitute, concealed his own aura, and used the cloud-like invisibility to reach the Polaris Flower.

If he were to openly attempt to take it, the Nine Netherworld Python would surely attack Xu Chuan without hesitation, and might even destroy all the Polar Star Flowers.

Xu Chuan activated the Cloud and Mist Illusion Array to create a mirror illusion around the Polaris Flower, making the Nine Nether Earth Python believe that there was nothing wrong with the Polaris Flower.

He took away the large patch of Star Grass and the five Polar Star Flowers.

He entered the "Xu Family Grotto" and planted these things.

The reason for using Starry Night Grass is that the Starry Night Flower can only grow rapidly by absorbing the essence of Starry Night Grass.

Star Ghost Grass only grows in places with Earthly Fiend Yin Veins.

That is why the Polaris flower is so rare.

After hastily planting the seedlings, Xu Chuan left the cave and prepared to join forces with the Blood Corpse and the Ghost King to kill the Nine Nether Earth Python.

Only in this way can we safely take the yin veins of this place and move them into the "Xu Family Grotto Heaven".

At this moment, the Nine Netherworld Python was under attack, its scales were broken in many places, and blood was flowing everywhere, but it became more and more ferocious.

It twisted its body wildly, its iron tail sweeping across, annihilating a large number of ghosts, and its massive body crashing into the rocks, causing them to shatter.

The deathly aura of the underworld erupted with all its might, transforming into waves of gray-black death that clashed fiercely with the Yin energy of the Blood Demon King, the bloodthirsty aura of the Blood Corpse, and the various attacks from the skull.

The entire valley erupted in a deafening roar, causing the space to tremble slightly. Such a fierce battle even affected the stability of the Cloud Sky Array.

The barriers within the array space have already begun to show slight cracks.

After all, this is only a third-tier early-stage array, and its sealing effect is limited.

Even a single Nine Nether Earth Python might not be able to trap it, let alone when similar forces from all sides collide, creating terrifying energy shocks.

Although the Nine Nether Earth Python is at a disadvantage, its vitality is astonishing, and it will probably take quite some time to kill it completely.

A dark light shone between Xu Chuan's brows, and thirty-two divine sense needles gathered together to form a sharp cone of divine sense, which fiercely pierced the sea of ​​consciousness of the Nine Nether Earth Python.

It had devoured countless Polar Star Flowers, making its soul powerful. A single silver needle was not very effective, which is why Xu Chuan chose to concentrate the power of his divine sense technique in one place.

Although the ghostly howls of the Blood Demon King and other Yin spirits were powerful, they were not as profound as Xu Chuan's, which broke through the Nine Nether Earth Python's soul defense by targeting a single point.

The Nine Netherworld Python howled in agony, its mind in utter chaos. Its body twisted wildly, and several Xuan Yin Blood Corpses were unfortunately swept away by its iron tail.

With a flick of his wrist, Xu Chuan conjured the Azure Dragon Umbrella in his hand.

With a thought, twenty-eight flying swords flew out simultaneously, swirling in the sky, and in just one or two breaths, they directly condensed into a "Azure Dragon of Swords".

Xu Chuan's divine sense was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator at its peak, and his magical power was of the same quality. Furthermore, his divine sense could be easily divided into thirty-two strands, allowing him to control the "Azure Dragon of the Sword" with ease.

This was enough to unleash the full power of the sword formation.

"die!"

"Azure Dragon of the Sword" let out a series of dragon roars and swooped down towards the Nine Nether Earth Serpent, which was in chaos.

The "Azure Dragon Claw," comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator, used its supreme sword energy to pierce through the creature's solid head, killing it in a single blow.

Mo Yue was also terrified, thinking to himself, "This attack is probably enough to seriously injure me."

Before transforming into human form, wouldn't it be best not to refer to yourself as "this one" in front of Xu Chuan?

"What if he ever stabs me in the back?"

Seeing that the life force of the Nine Nether Earth Python had completely dissipated, Xu Chuan finally let out a long breath.

He glanced at the nearly shattered Cloud Illusion Array and said calmly, "Demonic beasts are indeed harder to kill than cultivators, especially those with powerful bloodlines."

Xu Chuan landed beside the Nine Nether Earth Python, sat cross-legged, and summoned the "Origin Life and Death Seal" in his dantian. It hovered above the Nine Nether Earth Python, devouring the dense death energy it emitted.

More than two hours later.

The black half of the "Origin of Life and Death Seal" solidified directly, just as Xu Chuan had predicted.

"All that's left is the 'Seal of Life.' Once it's all solidified, it will become a high-grade magical artifact."

It perfectly aligns with my current understanding of the Dao.

Its power is estimated to be even greater than that of an ordinary high-grade magic weapon!
Furthermore, as my understanding of the Dao of Life and Death deepens, its power will continue to increase, potentially becoming a top-tier magic weapon, or even a spiritual treasure.

Xu Chuan's lips curled slightly as he glanced at the Nine Nether Earth Python, then proceeded to completely disassemble its body: its inner core, scales, fangs, eyes, gallbladder, and scabbard.
In the end, only a snake skeleton remained!
Snake bones are also a treasure for refining demonic artifacts; they can be used to refine dozens of magical treasures, and are even the main material for high-grade magical treasures.

Bone meal can even be used as an auxiliary material in the refining of certain elixirs.

Xu Chuan was satisfied with sorting and packing them, and sent them into "Xu's Grotto Heaven".

Then they recalled all the Blood Demon Kings and the others, and began to extract the Yin energy from this place.

Rumble!
The valley suddenly shook violently, but the commotion was blocked by the formation and could not be transmitted outwards.

After a while.

A gray, earth-evil yin vein, about a foot long, appeared on Xu Chuan's palm.

"It's actually a mid-grade third-tier Earthly Fiend Yin Vein. No wonder so many Star Nether Grasses grow here, and the Nine Nether Earth Python is also entrenched here."

Monsters are more sensitive to spiritual veins than cultivators.

Wherever a third-tier demon beast dwells, there must be a second-tier or higher spiritual vein.

Xu Chuan re-entered "Xu Clan Grotto-Heaven", designated an area, placed this Yin Vein of Earthly Fiends, and then transplanted the Starry Night Grass and Polar Star Flower that he had planted earlier to this area.

The previously listless Starflower instantly regained its vitality, and the Starflower, which existed because of the Starflower, also blossomed with life.

"This trip was very successful."

Xu Chuan made a hand seal to put away the array flags of the Cloud Sky Illusion Array, called Mo Yue back to the spirit beast bag, and then set up a beam of azure light to fly out of the Black Wind Mountain Range.

Several days later, they finally returned to Yunxi City.

Then, people were arranged to collect the remaining auxiliary materials for the Polar Star Pill.

Of the nine spiritual herbs in the Polar Star Pill, besides the main ingredient Polar Star Flower, the Xu family possessed six of the other eight. It took them more than half a month to collect the remaining two.

This is mainly related to the Tiancang Sect, who are also collecting materials for the Polar Star Pill.

After that, Xu Chuan started refining pills.

Two days later.

"Not bad luck." Xu Chuan smiled slightly. "I actually refined eight Extreme Star Pills directly, six of which are of superior quality and the other two are of medium quality."

After pondering for a moment, he finally decided to give Chen Changge the highest-grade Star Pill.

This can also be considered a kind of investment!
Xu Chuan placed the superior-grade Extreme Star Pill into Chen Changge's mouth and then guided a wisp of true essence into it to aid in its transformation.

As the pill entered his throat, it instantly transformed into pure divine soul essence, flowing directly into Chen Changge's sea of ​​consciousness. Its power was gentle and profound, like a spring breeze caressing frozen earth, like moonlight washing away dust, enveloping his nearly riddled divine soul.

Chen Changge's complexion gradually regained its luster, and the frown between his brows slowly dissipated.

This continues for seven days, with day and night alternating.

A powerful surge of divine consciousness emanated from Chen Changge, which was more profound and resilient than before.

On the couch, Chen Changge's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes suddenly opened.

At first, his eyes were somewhat dazed, but they quickly cleared up, and his face was full of joy.

"My spiritual sense has actually reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!"

This is the mystery of the superior-grade Extreme Star Pill: it not only heals injuries but also strengthens the foundation and nourishes the soul. Chen Changge can be said to have turned misfortune into blessing.

Chen Changge suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly to Xu Chuan in front of the bed, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, Fellow Daoist Xu. I was able to turn misfortune into blessing and advance my divine sense to the middle stage."

"Don't rush to thank me. Now that your soul injury has healed, it's time to fulfill my promise. I, Xu, will not hesitate to do so out of consideration for our past relationship."

“I understand. Now that I have spoken, I will not regret it.” Chen Changge’s eyes were firm. “Fellow Daoist Xu, please do it.”

Xu Chuan immediately placed a soul restriction deep within his soul.

This restriction will conceal itself and can usually be detected by a Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense. If one tries to penetrate it, the restriction will self-destruct, destroying their soul.

"All right."

Chen Changge opened his eyes, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "My lord."

"There's no need for that. We can still address each other as fellow Daoists. I don't want others to know about our master-servant relationship."

"I understand. Everything will be done as Fellow Daoist Xu wishes."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly, then took out another pill and handed it to Chen Changge. "This pill is called the Life and Death Pill. It is an ancient miraculous pill for repairing the dantian. Its effects are very powerful and enough to restore the foundation of your dantian."

Moreover, this is a superior-grade elixir, which can expand your dantian and qi sea, making your foundation even more solid.

Chen Changge's eyes lit up. "Thank you for the pill, Fellow Daoist Xu. Please feel free to give me any instructions in the future."

"Once you have fully recovered, you will serve as the deputy city lord of Yunxi City and handle many affairs for Yunxi City."

Chen Changge nodded, but then frowned and said, "If this is made public, and the Tiancang Sect finds out, they'll probably cause trouble, right?"

"It's alright, I will take care of everything. You just need to focus on handling the affairs of Yunxi City. Once you recover, I will arrange for someone to hand over the relevant matters to you."

Chen Changge nodded slightly.

"By the way, there's also the matter of the Chen family. You need to make arrangements for them to come under the Xu family's control. This doesn't need to be made public, but you must inform each family head and the Grand Elder, and pass it down from generation to generation."

To prevent him from having evil intentions in the future.

"The Xu family will not hold back then."

"I understand. I will do my best to handle this matter and will not let you worry, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"Then you should focus on recovering in this room. Once you're healed, you can send me a message."

Five days later.

Chen Changge's chronic illness has been completely cured, and his momentum is even stronger than before.

This is his rebirth, and also the rebirth of the Chen family.

He sent a message to Xu Chuan, who told him to come to the courtyard to find him. Xu Chuan tossed him a token and said, "This is the token of a guest elder of my Xu family. It allows you to pass through the defensive formations of the inner and outer city at will."

However, one must not pass through the Xu residence's protective array.

The array formations in the Xu residence were all set up by Xu Mingxian. Without him, it would have been impossible to refine the corresponding access tokens.

Then, he called Ye Fan and Wu Zhuqi over.

"Master, you called me?"

After Ye Fan arrived, he greeted Chen Changge with a cupped hand. Upon seeing Chen Changge, he exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Chen, your injuries have healed?!"

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Xu."

Soon after, Wu Zhuqi also arrived at the courtyard.

Xu Chuan said, "I have called you two here today because I have something to tell you. Starting today, Fellow Daoist Chen will join my Xu family and become a guest elder of my Xu family."

In addition, he will also serve as the deputy city lord of Yunxi City, in charge of Yunxi City affairs. Zhu Qi, you will assist the deputy city lord in handling affairs from now on.

Ye Fan, you should focus entirely on your cultivation. With Fellow Daoist Chen helping you, you won't need to get involved in most matters.

Ye Fan's expression brightened, and he immediately clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "Master is wise."

He was worried that if he and Xu Deyue went on a trip and something happened in Yunxi City, Wu Zhuqi would not be able to control others.

We can't let Xu Chuan personally handle this.

　Thank you to fellow Daoist [Book Friend 20250423234010147] for the generous donation!
