Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

Chen Shangyu carefully took the blood-stained broken blade from its hands, stroking its cold blade and the bloody serrations on it.

His hands began to tremble slightly, as if the knife weighed a thousand pounds.

"This knife is of utmost importance. The patriarch must keep it safe. With this knife, the foundation of the clan can be established!"

"Don't worry, elder. Since I can repair this blade, I can naturally forge an even stronger one."

"It's only because of my limited cultivation level that I've been able to recover to this extent."

Meeting Chen Shangyu's solemn eyes, Chen Xuanzhou calmly began his narration.

This was not Chen Xuanzhou boasting or trying to comfort the other party; he had already used incense offerings to deduce the complete method for forging the Blood-Transforming Blade.

As for the materials, the remaining flesh and blood of the Bloodline Dragon can be used perfectly. The only thing missing is that it won't be difficult to gather the rest in a little time.

From Chen Xuanzhou's calm words, Chen Shangyu could tell that, as he said, he did not take this fake magic weapon too seriously.

"Very well, since the patriarch values ​​me so much, then I'll join you in one last crazy adventure!"

In the blink of an eye, Chen Shangyu's appearance remained unchanged, but his voice had become deeper and more profound, showing less signs of age.

"Haha, as the saying goes, an old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles, and a hero in his twilight years may still cherish lofty ambitions."

The Chen family still needs the patriarch as its pillar of strength. In my plan for the Chen family, Foundation Establishment is not the end goal for a patriarch.

"The patriarch is truly multi-talented; even these casually uttered verses are thought-provoking and leave this old man with endless aftertaste!"

Chen Shangyu didn't take the last few words to heart, treating them merely as words of comfort.

"Hahaha, I've only lived a few years, how could I have such talent? These are just notes I made while browsing through the works of ordinary people in my spare time."

Indeed, even in the world of fantasy and martial arts, the spirit of the Jian'an era, once revealed, cannot conceal its brilliance.

Neither of them practiced Confucian or Taoist supernatural powers, so they didn't put much effort into these poems and essays.

Their attention quickly turned to the cultivation technique that Chen Xuanzhou had taken out.

The only cultivation technique Chen Xuanzhou just took out was "Blood Refining Divine Light".

As for the other manuals, such as "Black Fiend Asura Technique" and "Fiend Demon Technique," he didn't take any of them.

The reason for not taking it is simply because the latter two are inferior to the former. As for "Demon Slayer Technique", it is purely used as a tool.

Chen Xuanzhou planned to select some guest elders who had made great contributions to the Chen family to cultivate this technique, and then collect them after they had mastered the Blood Condensation Five Elements Pill.

Then the Chen family members used this to condense a deadly pill.

In this way, there will be a stable path to induce core formation, even if these demon core cultivators do not make any progress in their cultivation throughout their lives.

Furthermore, their souls will be eroded by the evil energy on the evil pill, causing them to lose their reason.

Even if Chen Xuanzhou only obtained a group of mindless pseudo-Core Formation cultivators, for the incense burner, it would still produce genuine Core Formation incense.

This is countless times simpler than cultivating a Core Formation cultivator through normal means.

As for the shortcomings, Chen Xuanzhou will have plenty of opportunities to try and revise them gradually in the future.

Chen Xuanzhou had also studied the "Black Fiend Asura Technique" to some extent. Compared with the "Blood Refining Divine Light", the biggest difference was in the probability of breaking through the bottleneck.

Compared to other methods, "Blood Refining Divine Light" is purer, so it will be more helpful when breaking through to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.

"The cultivation technique that the patriarch just taught me is exceptionally exquisite, the only one I have ever seen in my life. It can actually increase the probability of Qi Refining cultivators to Foundation Establishment by such a high level."

This is no less effective than a Foundation Establishment Pill. This cultivation technique, combined with the demonic blade, allows one to cultivate by devouring the essence and blood of demonic beasts.

The Foundation Establishment stage will no longer be an unattainable realm for any cultivator.

Chen Shangyu had one more thing he didn't say: even without the Demon Blade's assistance, if he were ruthless enough to slaughter rogue cultivators, it wouldn't be difficult to create a batch of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"The elder is right. I have already ordered a batch of spirit beasts from Spirit Beast Mountain. At first, it shouldn't be a big problem to satisfy the cultivation needs of a dozen or twenty clansmen."

Even if they are short of resources now, they can still use entrapment tactics in various markets to capture some cultivators and turn them into blood slaves, so that no one can say anything.

However, with the continuous emergence of Foundation Establishment cultivators in my Chen clan, I fear that over time, this might attract unwanted attention.

Hearing Chen Xuanzhou's calm and composed words, Chen Shangyu nodded slightly, but did not rush to reply. Instead, he spoke to Xin Ruyin.

"Ruyin, go to my room and get some tea and snacks. Your sweetheart and I will eat and chat."

Xin Ruyin, who had been keeping quiet all along, was suddenly called out, and the words "brother lover" made her face flush instantly.

"Um!"

A barely audible sound reached Chen Xuanzhou's ears, making him almost doubt whether he was hallucinating.

"You disrespectful old man, it's one thing to make fun of me, but this kid hasn't even grown his first hair yet, you can't joke around like that."

Chen Shangyu looked at Chen Xuanzhou, who had a righteous expression on his face, and said with disdain, "What are you pretending for in front of me!"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Chen Xuanzhou was at a loss and could only shake his head and walk to the stone table to sit down.

"Elders, please don't stand there chatting, it's tiring..."

As soon as they landed, Chen Xuanzhou spoke again.

"Even with a Core Formation cultivator suppressing their clan's fortune, the Yan family, the number one family in Yue Kingdom, is still at the mercy of others and has its hands tied."

If a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators were to emerge from my Chen family, we would probably live a less comfortable life than the Yan family.

With their master's protection, they wouldn't face any life-or-death calamity, but the best outcome would likely be the confiscation of their demonic blade and the constant surveillance of their clan!

Upon hearing the words "Yan family," Chen Shangyu did not reply. Instead, his eyes gradually glazed over, as if he were lost in reminiscence.

As someone who's practically half-buried in the ground, I'm not like a young person who has a shallow understanding of things.

Despite the Yan family's seemingly thriving status in the eyes of outsiders, to the older generation who have inherited some traditions, they are nothing more than a caged swallow.

"Since you've brought out this technique, you must already have some plans, so there's no need to hide it from me."

In a short while, Chen Shangyu's complexion returned to normal, and his tone became much calmer.

"Hehehe, Xuanzhou does have some immature opinions."

There were no other special ideas, only the word "screening"!

Chen Xuanzhou stroked his chin and said softly.

"Explain in detail how you use the screening method."

Chen Xuanzhou extended two fingers and said with a slightly solemn expression.

Two promotion methods.

The first type is straightforward; those with exceptional skills will naturally be eligible for such a spot.

Of course, the first type is a minority, and those with expertise in various arts may have their own ways to seek Foundation Establishment Pills and other spiritual items for Foundation Establishment.

As for the second option, it is to have children, as long as a sufficient number of children with spiritual roots are born.

Or, if a child with exceptional talent is born, then a spot may be secured.
