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

"Haha, now that Brother Zheng has discovered the monster, let's not delay any longer and hurry over there before it gets away."

Chen Tong laughed loudly a few times and immediately led his disciples forward.

After a short while, they arrived at a forest and vaguely sensed several auras.

"Shh! You guys go ahead, we'll protect you from behind."

Chen Tongyue spoke in a low voice to several family disciples who were at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

This training was originally intended for them; the three of them came to prevent attacks from high-level first-tier demonic beasts.

Five Chen family disciples, all at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, advanced cautiously. One of them carried several talismans and walked behind the other four.

The four blood-toothed boars were fast asleep, completely unaware of the impending danger.

The five men acted swiftly, killing one of them first.

When the other three were awakened, they already had wounds all over their bodies.

With the combined efforts of the five, the Bloodfang Boar was no match for them. After some time, the four corpses appeared neatly on the ground.

The Chen family disciples happily took down the materials and dissected the beast carcass.

The meat of the Bloodfanged Pig tastes good and is quite useful for cultivators at the low level of Qi Refining, so it shouldn't be wasted.

Chen Qingmo watched this scene from behind, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Back then, they painstakingly killed two Bloodfang Boars, and in the end, he found several cubs and a diagram of a Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Array inside the Bloodfang Boar's cave.

Looking back now, I have many feelings.

The Qi Refining cultivators of the Chen family today are much wealthier than they were back then. Magical artifacts, pills, and talismans are no longer scarce. Only the formations require more contribution points and spirit stones.

Cultivating formations requires a high level of talent, and the family does not want too many disciples to become immersed in this path, so it has set a high threshold.

Chen Qingmo, as the family's most outstanding array master, actually supported this decision.

Because he had personally experienced the difficulty of comprehending formations, he knew that this path was arduous.

The books he compiled on formations also listed the techniques for setting up formations, but few of the family disciples ever bothered to read them.

They knew that skills were only an aid; to successfully set up a formation, they still needed to rely on their own true abilities.

Currently, the Chen family still has the most disciples who study the art of talismans, followed by those who refine weapons.

Alchemy, which was previously the least popular art, has risen to third place, while the art of formations has become the least popular.

Alchemy doesn't require that much talent, and with the Chen family's resources increasing, they were able to support some of their talented disciples in practicing alchemy.

"Four Bloodtooth Boars are enough to meet the needs of the assessment task."

"You've finally made it to Ziwu Mountain, would you like to explore it more thoroughly?"

Chen Tongyue paused for a moment, then chuckled and said.

Purple Crow Mountain is home to a Beast King, and the Chen family usually does not allow its Qi Refining cultivators to venture too deep into the area.

However, Chen Tongyue and the others were not very old, and they were very curious and wanted to see what was happening deep in Ziwu Mountain.

With three people traveling together, there's a high chance that one of them will come up with a wicked idea, not to mention there are so many of them.

Chen Tongyue's encouragement stirred up a lot of interest among everyone, and even Chen Tongzheng seemed eager to join in.

"So? Are you going or not? Give me a straight answer!"

Chen Tongyue urged everyone on for a few moments.

"Walk!"

Lu Jian answered first, and seeing that the two team leaders who were at the late stage of Qi Refining were not afraid, the others also responded enthusiastically.

"You brats really don't know how dangerous the mountains are. Let me show you, and you'll know to be more restrained once you see the real danger."

Chen Qingmo listened to his junior's thoughts and chuckled as he scolded him.

He didn't intend to stop them; he wanted to let the younger generation suffer a bit first.

With him around, everyone will surely be safe.

Chen Tongyue led his group of brothers forward quietly, occasionally having Chen Tongzheng ride the silver wolf to scout out the location of the monsters.

After they had traveled nearly three miles, Chen Tongzheng issued a warning.

The silver wolf's growl carried a hint of apprehension, indicating that one or even several high-level Tier 1 demonic beasts were nearby.

"Brother Jian, go up to the tree and see where the area is a good place to ambush. I'll go out and lure the monster over, and then we'll use an array to catch them off guard."

Chen Tongyue chuckled a few times, seemingly somewhat excited.

He brought a third-grade array plate with him on this trip, intending to ambush a few first-tier high-level demonic beasts and bring them back to exchange for some family resources.

Lu Jian nodded, then leaped up to the top of the tallest tree.

He surveyed the area for a while, then selected a relatively open space and led the array plate and the rest of the people to set up the array.

After pointing out the direction to Chen Tongyue, Chen Tongzheng caught up with Lu Jian and the others and hid.

Chen Qingmo secretly observed their actions and felt quite impressed.

But he could see clearly that there were seven first-tier high-level demonic beasts in the direction that Chen Tongzheng's silver wolf sensed. A third-grade formation couldn't kill that many.

None of these younger generations were familiar with the principles of formations, and therefore could not fully unleash the power of formations.

Even with the combined power of demonic beasts, it's already quite good if a third-grade formation can last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Unaware of this situation, Chen Tongyue excitedly sped towards the monster.

A moment later, a figure darted back, even faster than when it left, accompanied by a terrified shout: "Activate the array plate! Then run!"

Chen Tongyue kept looking back, but seeing the seven ferocious-looking monsters relentlessly chasing after him, he couldn't help but curse a few times.

The only time he tried to venture deep into Ziwu Mountain, this happened. If several of his peers died here, his sins would be immense.

Upon hearing Chen Tongyue's shout, Lu Jian, Chen Tongzheng, and the others quickly set up an array and then fled.

At this moment, the seven demonic beasts were not far from them. If they were any slower, the several cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi Refining would definitely be caught up.

"Damn it, I admit defeat! That beast ate my magic weapon and self-destructed!"

Chen Tongyue cursed and threw out his two mid-grade magic weapons, then detonated them.

Although he had spent his own spirit stones to buy them, he couldn't care less about the cost at this point.

Protecting a few peers is the most important thing.

The power of a mid-grade magic weapon exploding was not weak, but it only slowed down the pace of two demonic beasts. The remaining five beasts did not slow down, and one of the demonic pythons condensed a mouthful of venom and shot it out as a poison arrow.

Chen Tongyue was unable to dodge in time and was shot in the waist and abdomen.

He bared his teeth and let out a strange cry, forcefully slicing off a piece of flesh to stop the spread of the toxin.

"Fifth Brother!"

Chen Tongzheng, riding on the silver wolf, saw Chen Tongyue's situation.

He glanced at the beast beneath him, then turned and went back.

The next instant, a burst of silver light shone, and seven small cages trapped the demon beast.

"Zhengdi, hurry up and leave! What are you doing back here?!"

Chen Tongyue was both shocked and frightened. Although he was injured, he was still able to barely escape.

If Chen Tongzheng were to return to save him now, he would only be wasting his own spiritual energy.

The cage only held the monster for a few breaths before it was broken.

The silver wolf, suffering a backlash, coughed up blood and its speed noticeably decreased.

Chen Tongyue's eyes darkened, and he carried Chen Tongzheng and ran wildly.

Chen Qingmo shook his head helplessly as he watched the demonic beast getting closer and closer to them.
