A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

Yuanjian Sect, Wanjian Hall.

Xiao Wujian sat in the left seat and took a sip of tea.

A moment later, the Third Elder, Shen Xun, also arrived in the hall.

"Uncle-Master, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Shen Xun, Xiao Wujian quickly stood up and offered him a cup of spiritual tea.

"Wujian, Hexing won't be here for a while. How's that kid from the Chen family?"

Shen Xun took the tea and placed it aside.

He knew the results of the family competition, which made him somewhat curious about Chen Qingmo.

"I'll tell you all at once when my senior brother comes back, otherwise I'll have to say it twice, which is too tiring."

Xiao Wujian sat down lazily and said with a smile.

"You brat, a dignified Golden Core cultivator, how could you get tired of talking? I think you're just lazy!"

Shen Xun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her, raising his hand to strike.

Just then, Ning Hexing walked into the Hall of Ten Thousand Swords. Seeing the situation between the two, he said with a smile, "Uncle-Master, what has Wujian done to offend you this time? You don't need to take action, I'll teach him a lesson."

"He Xing, why are you back so quickly? Have you finished dealing with things?" Shen Xun was somewhat surprised, as Ning He Xing entered the main hall almost one after the other.

"The Grand Elder can handle the rest; I don't need to worry about it."

Ning Hexing sat on the other side of Shen Xun, then looked at Xiao Wujian: "Junior brother, hurry up and tell me, your uncle is getting impatient."

Shen Xun raised an eyebrow, about to retort, when he heard Xiao Wujian say, "Uncle-Master, Senior Brother, Chen Qingmo is quite strong. He can hold his own against five opponents and even kill one of them."

"And what's most surprising is that he also has a third-tier tamed beast, a blue-green spirit bird. I've never even seen such a spirit bird before, which shows how fortunate he is."

As Xiao Wujian recounted the events in detail to Ning Hexing and Shen Xun, both of them showed expressions of surprise.

After saying that, Shen Xun said in a low voice, "This boy is very fortunate. The bottleneck of the Golden Core realm should not be able to stop him."

All three of them knew that Chen Qingmo possessed the talent of having four spiritual roots, and they were all deeply impressed by his current level of cultivation.

"Perhaps we should really consider nurturing the Chen family. Chen Tongzhan has also shown extraordinary talent within the sect and is expected to break through to the Golden Core stage."

"Now that I've reached the Nascent Soul stage, I can suppress them. The more Golden Core cultivators the sect has, the easier it will be to reclaim the two lost states in the future."

Ning Hexing pondered for a moment. He had long wanted to restore the Yuanjian Sect to its former glory, but the sect's current foundation was still inferior to that of the other four sects in Qi Kingdom.

"Annan Prefecture is currently under the jurisdiction of Han Jingchu, who is a member of the Qi royal family. If we were to reclaim Annam Prefecture, I wonder what his reaction would be?"

Xiao Wujian frowned, somewhat worried about the matter.

The royal family of Qi were not all ordinary people; Han Jingchu was the most powerful cultivator among them.

The royal family is independent of the Five Clans, and its relationship with the Five Clans is neither good nor bad.

However, this is the best outcome, as aligning with any one faction would cause resentment among the other four factions.

"This territory originally belonged to our sect. Back then, when our sect was weak, we had no choice but to cede the two prefectures. Now that we are recovering Annam Prefecture, the royal family certainly won't dare to refuse. The only place that might encounter some resistance is Guan Prefecture."

Shen Xun snorted coldly, showing disdain for the Qi royal family.

But he was right. With a Nascent Soul cultivator like Ning Hexing stepping forward, how could Han Jingchu dare to refuse?

Moreover, after the recapture of Annam Prefecture, the border guarded by the Yuman Army will be taken over by the Yuanjian Sect, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the royal family, and it is not a bad thing for them.

Guanzhou is now jointly governed by the Floating Cloud Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect, and the Yuan Sword Sect will have to pay a considerable price to regain it.

The resources of a province are not limited to spiritual veins and herbs; the most important thing is its people.

With a larger population, the number of infants with spiritual roots will increase, and the chances of producing prodigies will also increase.

"I will go to Han Jingchu in a while. We must bring Annan Prefecture back under the sect's control within three years."

"Let's wait and see about Guanzhou. Once the Golden Core family appears, we'll have a way to get the Floating Cloud Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect to back down."

Ning Hexing already had a general plan.

The three of them exchanged a glance and smiled.

……

Mount Taixuan.

Two months had passed since Chen Weisheng refined the Cold Condensation Dew.

He exuded wisps of mist, and the natal sword in his dantian shimmered with light, gradually undergoing changes.

Chen Weisheng's natal immortal sword is named Han Hai Cang Ming, which he named after comprehending the sword intent of Han Hai.

During his travels, he used many water-attribute minerals to improve the quality of the Vast Ocean Sword, which had long since reached the level of a top-grade magic weapon.

Now, the sword has been transformed back into a sword embryo and is being nurtured within Chen Weisheng's body.

He activated the Surging Waves Sword Technique with all his might, channeling his internal magic power in an attempt to help the Vast Ocean Sword advance to the level of a magic weapon.

Magical treasures can only be possessed by Golden Core cultivators.

Chen Weisheng is still at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, making it difficult for him to upgrade his natal immortal sword to this level.

"The Golden Elixir is difficult to achieve!"

He gave a low shout, a resolute look on his face.

After refining the Cold Condensation Dew, Chen Weisheng did not feel that he could break through to the Golden Core realm.

However, he could clearly feel that his cultivation had become slightly weaker.

Chen Weisheng had read the Yuanjian Sect's records, which stated that if a Foundation Establishment cultivator failed to condense their Golden Core, an incomplete Golden Core embryo would remain in their body.

Such cultivators, whose combat strength exceeds the Foundation Establishment stage but is far below the Golden Core stage, are called pseudo-Golden Core cultivators.

Now Chen Weisheng wants to try to condense a fake core to help his natal immortal sword advance.

"A pseudo-Core Formation cultivator can barely wield a magic weapon. If I achieve a pseudo-Core Formation using my Golden Core cultivation method, could I refine it into a magic weapon?"

He wasn't entirely sure, but since things had come to this point, he had to give it a try.

Chen Weisheng swallowed several pills and calmed his mind.

Another month has passed, and the Vast Ocean Sword is now quite different from before.

His aura was restrained, deep and profound.

The sword has shallow patterns resembling waves, which at first glance look like the undulating waves of the ocean.

"Just a hair's breadth away!"

Chen Weisheng was somewhat exhausted at this point. He had already used up all the suitable pills he had, and he would fail if he did not have spiritual energy to replenish his strength.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, a surge of power suddenly came from below him.

Chen Qingmo stood outside Chen Weisheng's cave, holding a compass.

The surging power was driven by him, and it was the pure spiritual energy sent by the second-grade high-quality spiritual vein of Tai Xuan Mountain.

"Qingmo, how did it go? Will Weisheng be able to break through smoothly?"

Chen Ming asked anxiously beside Chen Qingmo.

They have been observing for a long time.

"Uncle, Wei Sheng's cultivation is improving, but he probably still won't be able to break through to the Golden Core stage."

Chen Qingmo shook his head; he could sense some of his son's condition.

Inside the cave, Chen Weisheng, aided by this pure spiritual energy, finally reached the Pseudo-Core stage. At the same time, the Vast Ocean Sword also completely solidified and took shape.

It hovered in front of Chen Weisheng, exuding an astonishing aura.
