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

"Brother Qin, if you don't mind, you can just call me brother. Besides, there are some things I need to explain to you and your wife."

Chen Qingmo prepared to tell Qin Wangyue some things, as she could not stay long after returning this time, and would have to leave Linyuan County in six months.

"Brother Chen, please come into my home for a chat."

Qin Xu was immersed in the joy of his daughter's return home, and only then did he realize that the others were still at the door.

Chen Qingmo followed them into the house and sat down, explaining the arrangements to the two of them.

After listening, Qin Xu and Tian Suying lowered their heads slightly and finally sighed.

The couple fled famine from elsewhere and finally found work and settled down in Xiyun Town.

They later had a son and a daughter, and lived a peaceful life.

More than two years ago, a celestial being passed by and said that his daughter was a potential immortal and could become an immortal, and that he would take her to cultivate immortality.

The two were overjoyed to hear this, for it was a legendary immortal. They had heard that several prominent families in Xiyun Town possessed immortals.

They assumed that the immortal was nearby and that they would see Qin Wangyue often in the future, so they agreed to the matter.

Unexpectedly, there was no news at all during this period, and even their son went to the army this year, leaving the two elderly people at home.

Now that their daughter has returned, she won't stay for more than a few days, and then she'll be going to some sect. Qin Xu and his wife are feeling disappointed.

They are already in their forties and do not want to have any more children.

"Alas, children have their own destiny; let them be."

Qin Xu had also been to school, so he knew that becoming an immortal was a great opportunity for the child.

Although the eldest son went to join the army, he will eventually return home.

In recent years, there has been little war in the State of Qi, and the soldiers in the army are basically not in any danger.

Tian Suying remained silent. Although she was worried about the children, she always listened to her husband when it came to important family matters.

Looking at her own child, she was filled with mixed emotions.

Seeing that the three had something to say, Chen Qingmo knew it was inappropriate to disturb them, so he cupped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

After leaving the Qin family courtyard, he went directly to the Jinquan Chamber of Commerce in the market.

After selling some of the talismans, he went straight back to his family in town.

Two days later, he went to pick up Qin Wangyue and take her back to Taixuan Mountain.

The little girl was no longer as happy as she had been when she arrived; a faint sadness had crept onto her face.

"Uncle Mo, will Wangyue be able to come back in the future?"

Chen Qingmo gently patted her head:

"You will be going to Yuanjian Sect with Weisheng in six months, and you will be staying in the sect for a short period of time."

"If you achieve success in your cultivation within the sect, you can return home to visit when you leave the sect for further training."

Although Chen Qingmo had never cultivated in a sect, he had heard of it and knew some of its common practices.

"Mochizuki will definitely train hard!"

Qin Wangyue nodded emphatically, her eyes resolute.

Chen Qingmo smiled and drove the carriage towards the clan's territory.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qingmo has already cultivated the first sword thread, and his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining is gradually stabilizing.

Since he began practicing the Green Mountain Sword Technique, his cultivation level has slowed down, but his spiritual power has become exceptionally solid.

Chen Qingmo understood that this was the effect of the sword technique solidifying his foundation, and he felt that the strength of his spiritual power was almost catching up with that of the Eighth Elder.

The more he practiced this technique, the more he admired Master Iron Sword.

No wonder Iron Sword Master, a rogue cultivator, holds such a high position in Lin Yuan County.

If a real fight were to break out, those two Foundation Establishment cultivators from his family, who were at the same level as him, might not have much of a chance of winning.

But looking across the entire Yuanjian Sect territory, how many rogue cultivators like him are there?

"Brother Mo, good news!"

Just as Chen Qingmo was about to continue his cultivation, a familiar voice reached his ears.

Upon stepping out of the cave, Chen Qingjie was overjoyed.

More than two years have passed, and Chen Qingjie has broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining with the help of the spirit stone from back then.

"Qingjie, why are you so happy? What happened?"

"Brother Mo, the Hundred Spirits Secret Realm is about to open! Hurry to the council hall, the clan leader needs to arrange manpower."

"The Secret Realm of the Hundred Spirits?"

Chen Qingmo thought for a moment, and then remembered.

The Hundred Spirits Secret Realm is located near Linyuan County. It contains hundreds of kinds of spiritual herbs and plants and opens once every ten years. Only those in the Qi Refining stage can enter.

Each major family will send cultivators from their clan to go there, mostly those in the mid-stage of Qi Refining and a very small number in the late stage.

Most of the Qi Refining elders in these Qi Refining families are from the older generation and tend to remain within the clan.

Disciples like Chen Qingmo, who belonged to the Qing generation, were only at the early stage of Qi Refining and had no qualifications to enter.

Now that the day has come again, I wonder what it will be like.

Chen Qingmo followed Chen Qingjie to the council hall and saw that most of the people there were uncles and peers, but the elders were not present.

That makes sense; the elders are too old to compete for resources in the secret realm.

Shortly after, Chen Mingzheng arrived, sat in the head seat, and began to speak:

"News has come from the two Foundation Establishment families that their patriarchs will join forces with True Immortal Iron Sword to open the Hundred Spirits Secret Realm in ten days."

"At that time, each family can send disciples to search for spiritual herbs. They can fight over the herbs before their ownership is confirmed, but they cannot kill each other."

"The other Qi Refining families should follow the same path as ours, with disciples led by someone at the eighth level of Qi Refining. The two Foundation Establishment families should have someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining; those at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining are not allowed to enter."

Chen Mingzheng had led a group into the area ten years ago. At that time, his cultivation was still quite good, and he found many spiritual herbs. However, he is now unable to enter.

Fortunately, his brother Chen Minglu had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and there were also Chen Mingyi and Chen Qingmo, both at the seventh level of Qi Refining, who could follow him.

Both individuals of the Ming generation broke through in the past two years. Since the advent of the Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Array, the overall cultivation level of cultivators in Tai Xuan Mountain has improved significantly.

Chen Mingzheng continued:

"This time, Minglu will lead the team, with Mingyi and Qingmo as deputy leaders, to lead the clansmen to the secret realm."

The rest of the clansmen stared at Chen Qingmo in shock, including Chen Minglu and Chen Mingyi.

These days, Chen Qingmo deliberately concealed his aura, and apart from the clan leader and elders, no one knew that he had broken through.

At the clan leader's signal, he unleashed his aura, clearly at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Exclamations of surprise rang out continuously, especially from Chen Qingyang, who wore a bitter expression.

It was already surprising that Chen Qingmo had caught up with his cultivation level, but now he had even taken the lead in entering the late stage of Qi Refining, which was truly enviable.

However, he did not feel jealous. They were all his brothers, and he only needed to work hard to catch up.

Chen Mingzheng calmed everyone down, saying that Chen Qingmo had had some extraordinary encounter. He then made some arrangements and dismissed everyone.

"Qingmo, congratulations on your breakthrough! You really gave me a surprise, hahaha!"

On the way back, Chen Qingyang came to Chen Qingmo's side and congratulated him.

"Big brother, I broke through because..."

Chen Qingmo was afraid that Chen Qingyang was feeling bad, so he wanted to say something to comfort him.

"Hey, we're brothers, why bother explaining so much? The improvement of our family's strength is a good thing, no need to say more."

"I'm only here to offer my congratulations; please don't overthink it."

Chen Qingyang waved his hand to stop Chen Qingmo, not wanting to create a rift between the brothers.

Chen Qingmo nodded with a smile, and the two chatted for a while before going their separate ways.

Inside the cave, Chen Qingmo took out the materials for making talismans.

Now that he has been appointed as the deputy leader, he has an obligation to protect his people.

He didn't need to worry about the magical artifacts and elixirs; the elders would handle those.

Right now, all he can do is draw more talismans. Since he was promoted to a second-grade talisman master, he has been able to draw more types of talismans, especially first-grade talismans.

The materials for second-grade talismans were still quite expensive for him, and he couldn't make too many with his wealth, but his clan had plenty of materials for first-grade talismans.

Although its power is relatively low, when there are enough of them, it may still produce some surprising effects.
