This period of time.

Almost every few days, someone breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Sometimes, they even break the record by several people in a single day.

a few days later.

Xu Chuan called Xu Mingshu over.

"Father." Xu Mingshu bowed respectfully.

"sit down."

Xu Mingshu sat down as instructed.

"After the transformation of your soul, have you gained any insights in the past few days?" Xu Chuan asked with a faint smile.

"Some fathers have become more closely connected with Xiaobai and Aying. I could hardly sense Xiaobai before, but now I can vaguely sense him."

Furthermore, controlling spirit insects has become much easier for him.

"That's enough. But after you reach the Core Formation stage, you will need to diligently study and comprehend the supernatural abilities. Beast taming is ultimately an external thing; your cultivation level is the fundamental thing."

"Yes, father."

With a flick of his sleeve, Xu Chuan revealed three porcelain vases—one blue, one white, and one purple—on the coffee table beside Xu Mingshu.

"You're all familiar with the Core Formation process, right?"

"My daughter has studied it carefully and understands it thoroughly."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly. "The blue porcelain bottle contains the 'Purifying Spirit Pill.' Take it first to eliminate the pill and any hidden dangers of internal injuries."

Next, consume the "Heavenly Spirit Pill" from the white porcelain bottle to accelerate the crystallization of magical power.

Given the current concentration of spiritual energy in Bihan Pool, you should be able to complete this step in about half a month.

The purple porcelain bottle contains the "Golden Elixir," which will help you break through the bottleneck of the Golden Elixir stage.

"Father, these pills," Xu Mingshu said, looking at the three porcelain bottles.

“It is of the highest quality.” Xu Chuan saw through her little scheme and smiled wryly. “My daughter will naturally only use the best.”

"Thank you father!"

Xu Mingshu pointed her finger and put the three porcelain bottles into her storage bag. She stood up, cupped her hands, and said, "Father, then I'm going into seclusion."

"and many more."

Xu Chuan called out to her, flicked his sleeve, and a gray light shot out from it, stopping in front of her.

"Storage bags?"

"Your high-level storage bag is almost at the Golden Core stage, so it's time to replace it. You can replace it later and hand over the old one to the clan."

It was given to other members of the tribe for use.

"Understood, Father. I will take my leave now."

After Xu Mingshu left, Xu Chuan began refining pills.

With a thought, more than ten streaks of light flew out from the storage ring in his hand.

Each dish represents a rare and precious medicinal herb.

These were materials that Xu Mingqing had recently handed to him; they were materials for the "Golden Core" that the Lei family had asked them to refine several years ago.

"With my current spiritual sense and familiarity with the 'Golden Core Formation' process, I should be able to make perfect use of these materials."

With a flick of his sleeves.

The bamboo door closed, and the restriction was lifted.

When Xu Chuan first refined the "Golden Elixir", it took him several days.

As he gradually became more familiar with the technique and broke through to the Golden Core stage, he gradually suppressed it to the level of one day.

Now his alchemy skills have deepened day by day, and his spiritual consciousness has also broken through to the Nascent Soul level.

Both the refining and control processes have reached an extremely high level.

This time it only took a little over an hour.

A batch of high-level, third-tier pills was successfully refined.

Nine pills are formed, each a top-grade pill.

This is absolutely at the level of a grandmaster!

This is something not every alchemist can do.

Even a third-tier alchemist might not be able to achieve the level of "nine pills produced, all of them of superior quality" when refining first-tier pills.

With perfect control over alchemy, one can achieve nine successful pills.

Only by perfecting the medicinal properties, refining, and timing of fusion of all spiritual herbs can every pill be of superior quality.

Xu Chuan can bestow talents upon his clansmen, or he can gather all talents into himself.

But he didn't do that.

Because he knew that even with countless talents, talent is just talent, and all talents need to be developed, studied, and explored in depth.

Like Xu Chongjian, he was born with a sword-like spirit and was also bestowed with the "Sword Heart Clarity".

But if he doesn't focus on practicing swordsmanship.

Do you really expect him to become a sword master overnight?
Can one glance be enough to master a sword technique?
Xu Chuan understood this, which is why he only empowered himself with one immortal skill and never touched more.

The same applies to others.

"not bad."

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, took out a porcelain bottle, and with a flick of his finger, nine top-grade "Golden Core Pills" flew into the bottle like nine stars in a row.

Then, a hand seal is used to apply a restriction to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out.

As cultivators, they naturally need to know some common restrictions, but it's difficult to be as proficient and knowledgeable as Xu Mingxian.

It requires time and in-depth study.

At this time, Xu Mingxian was also comprehending the "Nine Mysterious Spiritual Restrictions" he had obtained from Daoist Cangxuan.

This first half of the book is enough for him to study for hundreds of years, and he can still benefit from it when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

After finishing his alchemy, Xu Chuan went to meditate under the withered and flourishing tree outside the bamboo house to cultivate his divine sense techniques.

A blue stone was specially placed there for him to meditate on.

With his Nascent Soul level divine sense, the divine sense secret technique naturally became his greatest trump card.

Short-term cultivation of the "Mysterious Heaven Refining God Technique" will not yield much progress, but the secret techniques of divine sense will.

In just one or two months.

His "Thousand Gods Technique" has split his divine consciousness from thirty-two to thirty-six strands, and it is still progressing rapidly.

At the current rate of cultivation, a Nascent Soul cultivator should be able to cultivate up to forty-nine strands of divine consciousness.

Going further up, as before, each additional split is extremely difficult, and progress takes a long time.

He also has the secret technique of "Divine Consciousness Transformation," and he is also preparing to learn a powerful killing move specifically targeting the Nascent Soul level, named "God-Slaying Sword."

This is the sword of divine consciousness, specifically designed to slay the soul!
Once one has mastered the basics and begun to condense a form, one can use this to injure the soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, with his current spiritual power, he can use such an attack nine times.

If all nine uses were applied to one person, it could even annihilate the soul and spirit of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, at only the beginner level, using it will definitely take a certain amount of time and cannot be done continuously, making it very difficult to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It will most likely flee far away after one attack.

After all, the older you get, the smarter you become, and the more afraid you are of death!

The Xu family mansion.

"Yue'er, I've been back for a long time, and I haven't visited my mother yet. Would you like to come with me?"

Xu Deyue nodded, "That's how it should be. I once entered the Wuhua Secret Realm for trials with Fairy Xuehua, and we fought side by side."

Her temperament, understanding, and talent would rank her among the best in the Xu family.

Unfortunately, my Xu family had not yet risen to prominence at that time and was far from being a match for the Cao family. Although we took the Zhou family as a vassal, we could only rely on the power of the established families in various counties to suppress the Cao family.

"If it weren't for the Xu family's hidden trump cards, we would probably have fallen victim to the Cao family's treachery."

Ye Fan remained silent, and when the Cao family was mentioned, his hands clenched tighter.

Xu Deyue grasped his hand, "Call Fei'er and Yulian, so your mother can meet her grandson and granddaughter-in-law."

"Ah."

Xu Deyue immediately sent a message to the two of them.

They immediately ended their meditation and rushed to the courtyard to meet up.

"Mother, what do you want with us?" Xu Chongfei asked.

"Come with me and your father to pay respects to your grandmother."

"Isn't Grandmother still alive?"

Xu Chongfei asked curiously.

“She is your father’s mother,” Xu Deyue explained.

"I see." Xu Chongfei nodded, but then asked, "What about Grandfather? Is he still alive?" "You don't have a grandfather!" Ye Fan suddenly shouted coldly, veins bulging on his forehead, looking somewhat ferocious.

Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian were both startled.

"Dad, you're kind of scary."

"It's a long story, let's talk about it as we walk."

The group took off and flew out of the cave, heading towards the Zhou family's territory.

Ye Fan flew alone to one side, his face solemn, his thoughts already drifting back to his childhood.

Xu Deyue didn't disturb them, and instead explained to Xu Chongfei and the others from the side.

"Your father's surname was not Ye. Ye was your grandmother's surname. Her name was Ye Xuehua, and she was once a proud daughter of heaven."

Her talent and comprehension were comparable to those of Chongjian's father, Xiaoyao, in our Xu family at that time.

We once entered the Wuhua Secret Realm together, where we attempted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Foundation building back then was five or six times more difficult than it is now.

But later…

Xu Deyue recounted the entire story of Ye Xuehua's ordeal, including Ye Fan's experiences and what Xu Chuan did later.

Both of them looked furious after hearing this.

"That Cao family truly deserves to die!"

"My great-grandfather rode a dragon, stepped on the imperial city, and cleaved half of the Great Wei's territory. It was so satisfying!"

"Grandmother's setting of the seal was truly a painstaking effort."

"It's a pity that my father suffered so much hardship for no reason."

He sighed softly.

Then Ye Fan next to him laughed and scolded, "You brat, your father is none of your business to pity."

"Father, stop being so sentimental."

Seeing Ye Fan fly over, Xu Chongfei smiled.

"You big idiot! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"

"With my mother around, I bet you wouldn't dare."

Xu Deyue smiled slightly, grabbed Xu Chongfei's arm, and said with a smile, "This child is getting more and more unruly. Husband, let me help you hold him down so you can vent your anger."

"Thank you ma'am!"

"My God, Madam, save me!"

Chen Yulian covered her mouth and chuckled, "Husband, I can't do it. Why don't you bear with it? Everyone gets beaten up when they're young!"

Xu Chongfei got a good beating, which made Ye Fan feel refreshed.

"Mom, your husband is relieved, but your son is in trouble."

"They're all superficial wounds. A few cycles of my magic will make them disappear," Xu Deyue said with a faint smile. "Well, we're almost at the Zhou family's territory. Let's hurry and get rid of them so the Zhou family doesn't laugh at us!"

Xu Chongfei still cares a lot about his reputation.

Under the influence of magical power.

It recovered completely in a short time.

The four of them activated their escape techniques and landed outside the Zhou family's protective formation.

At the entrance of the grand formation.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar cultivators flying directly towards them, the Zhou family members guarding the area immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands to stop them, and asked warily, "This is Zhou family territory. May I ask where you have come from and what brings you here?"

Ye Fan stepped forward, his attitude calm: "Please announce that Ye Fan of the Xu family has come to visit Master Zhou Qingfang."

"Ancestor?!"

The man was startled upon hearing Zhou Qingfang's name.

Then I remembered who Ye Fan was.

"So it's Senior Ye. Please come in quickly. I'll have someone send word to the Ancestor right away."

Ye Fan and his three companions entered the Zhou family residence and, led by guards, took their seats in the main hall.

A few moments.

Then Zhou Qingfang walked into the hall.

"Ye Fan, you've arrived. Elder Deyue is also here. And who are these two?"

Zhou Qingfang looked at the two men and remembered seeing them in the Xu family's procession that welcomed Xu Chuan out of seclusion.

"Elder Zhou." Xu Deyue nodded slightly.

“Master, Yue’er and I have now become Daoist partners. He is my son, Xu Chongfei, and this is his wife, Chen Yulian.”

"Chongfei (Yulian) pays respects to her master."

Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhou Qingfang.

"Good, good! Good!" Zhou Qingfang stroked his beard and said happily.

He scanned the two with his divine sense and found that they were both at the Foundation Establishment stage, especially Xu Chongfei, who was already at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, which was truly unbelievable.

Chat for a moment.

Ye Fan took out three jade bottles from his storage ring and presented them with both hands: "Grandmaster, these two bottles are high-grade 'Gathering Yuan Pills,' which are very helpful for improving one's mana in the late Foundation Establishment stage."

Inside this jade bottle is a top-grade "Chongxu Pill".

"This is just a small token of my appreciation; I hope you won't refuse it, Master."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfang quickly waved his hand and said, "No, that won't do! I'm already very happy that you came to see me. How can I accept such a generous gift?"
The superior "Chongxu Pill" is extremely precious.

This "Gathering Yuan Pill" is something I've never even heard of before; it must be incredibly valuable.

"I cannot accept this!"

Ye Fan said sincerely, "The kindness my master showed to my mother cannot be repaid by a few bottles of pills."

This is a small token of my filial piety; please accept it, Master.

Otherwise, Ye Fan would not feel at ease!

Seeing Ye Fan's resolute attitude and earnest words.

Zhou Qingfang could not refuse, so he finally sighed and accepted it with a sigh: "Very well, this old man... will shamelessly accept it."

Putting away the pills, Ye Fan's expression turned slightly solemn as he brought up another important matter for this trip: "Grandmaster, I would like to first pay my respects at my mother's grave."

“Of course, I will take you there.” Zhou Qingfang stood up.

The group arrived at a quiet cemetery on the back hill of the Zhou family.

We stopped in front of a clean and tidy grave with the inscription "Tomb of Ye Xuehua" on the tombstone.

Ye Fan looked at his mother's tombstone.

He knelt down first, followed closely by Xu Chongfei and Chen Yulian, who knelt respectfully behind Ye Fan.

Xu Deyue stood to one side and bowed in greeting.

Ye Fan gazed at the tombstone and slowly said, "Mother, your son has brought your daughter-in-law to see you."

She... you should know her too, it's Xu Deyue.

"As you wished, I have already become a disciple of Master and am now a member of the Xu family."

He paused, then glanced at Xu Chongfei behind him. "I now have my own child, named Xu Chongfei, who has grown up."

However, unlike the child who experienced hardship from a young age, he was pampered and loved as he grew up, which made him somewhat unruly.

However, Chongfei is quite good.

If you were alive, you would probably like him too.

He's married, but I wonder when he'll be able to give me a grandson.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chongfei's expression froze, revealing a helpless expression.

Chen Yulian, standing beside her, couldn't help but blush slightly.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Mother, I am already very strong now."

Powerful enough to completely crush the Cao family under their feet.

I think you would like to see this.

He faced the tombstone and spoke each word as if making a vow: "Your son promises that this day will not be far off."

Standing to the side, Zhou Qingfang was shocked when he heard Ye Fan's last few words, especially "to trample the Cao family underfoot"!
He had just vaguely sensed that he couldn't discern the exact cultivation levels of Ye Fan and Xu Deyue.

I initially thought they were concealing their presence.

After all, the Xu family was famous for this in their early years.

If the Wuhua Secret Realm hadn't been exposed by the Golden Core cultivator, it might have remained low-key for a long time.

At that moment, another astonishing possibility came to mind.

The cultivation levels of the couple may have already exceeded their own limits of perception!
"But... he's only in his fifties!"

Zhou Qingfang was shocked and could hardly believe his own speculation.
