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

"Father!"

Chen Weilan's cultivation level is much stronger than when she left, and she is very close to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. It won't be long before she breaks through.

"This is Chen Tongluo, a junior member of the family who hasn't been here long." After saying that, Chen Qingmo looked at the little girl: "And who is this little girl?"

Seeing her father's furrowed brows and questioning expression, Chen Weilan knew there had been a misunderstanding and quickly explained, "Father, you've misunderstood. I met this girl outside. I felt sorry for her being all alone, so I took her with me."

Chen Qingmo's brows relaxed a little: "Let's go back first."

Afterwards, the group returned to the mountains. After Chen Tongluo left somewhat reluctantly, Chen Weilan told Chen Qingmo in detail about how she met the little girl.

The little girl's name is Zhu Ai. She has no parents and is an orphan.

When Chen Weilan met her, she was standing in a mortal town, looking lost and helpless, with her stomach occasionally rumbling.

After observing for a while, Chen Weilan noticed something was amiss. After buying him a few steamed buns to eat, Zhu Ai lowered her guard a bit.

After obtaining her consent, Chen Weilan released his magic to test Zhu Ai's aptitude. To his shock, Zhu Ai actually had the aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Afterwards, Chen Weilan asked her if she was willing to embark on the path of cultivation. The lonely Zhu Ai agreed without hesitation.

Since Chen Weilan had just finished her travels, she took the opportunity to bring her back to Mount Taixuan.

After listening, Chen Qingmo fell into deep thought.

Everything his son said was too astonishing. A girl with a heavenly spiritual root who had gone unnoticed had appeared in a mortal town. He couldn't help but think deeply about it.

What if he is a descendant of a great cultivator who was lost abroad?

"Young lady, do you really have no relatives left?"

Chen Qingmo tried to soften his tone and asked gently.

He had to confirm it again; with his powerful divine sense, he couldn't hide the fact that this little kid hadn't yet entered the path of immortality from him.

"Grandpa, Xiao Ai has no parents and has never met any other relatives."

Zhu Ai answered timidly, her eyes sincere.

She heard Chen Weilan's uncle call the man in front of her "father," so even though the man looked young, she didn't call him "uncle."

Chen Qingmo's eyes darted around, but he didn't realize that Zhu Ai was lying; everything the little girl said was true.

This is a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root; it's impossible to say we don't want him to stay with the Chen family.

The Yuanjian Sect highly values ​​Heavenly Spiritual Roots. If Zhu Ai enters the sect as a member of the Chen family, the Yuanjian Sect will surely bestow many rewards upon her.

"Wei Lan, did you bring Zhu Ai back in preparation for her to enter a sect for cultivation?"

Now, the only person Zhu Ai trusts most is Chen Weilan, and Chen Qingmo wants to know what his son thinks.

"Father, I brought Xiao Ai back to the family because I saw her all alone and helpless. As for what will happen next, I haven't thought about it in detail yet. If she is willing, it would be best for her to join the sect. If she is not willing, I hope that our Chen family will not force her."

Chen Weilan scratched her head and shared her thoughts.

Zhu Ai was a pitiful child, and he didn't want her to become a tool for the Chen family to gain benefits.

"Uncle Chen, Xiao Ai will listen to you!"

Zhu Ai clenched her little fists and said firmly.

"Xiao Ai, Uncle Chen said he would guide you onto the path of cultivation, but he couldn't provide you with the best resources. By joining the Yuanjian Sect and becoming a disciple, you will receive a wealth of resources from the sect for your cultivation, which is the best choice for your future path to immortality. However, you must also abide by the sect's rules."

Welcome to the fantastical world of Xianxia novels! The entrance is here:

"Staying on Mount Tai Xuan offers more freedom, but cultivation will definitely be much slower. Moreover, after becoming a cultivator, one will need to complete some family tasks, so it won't be a life without any problems."

Chen Weilan explained the pros and cons of joining a sect versus staying in Tai Xuan Mountain to Zhu Ai. After all, he and Zhu Ai hadn't known each other for very long, so he couldn't make a decision for this young girl on his own.

"Uncle Chen, I don't know what to choose either."

Zhu Ai lowered her head somewhat dejectedly.

She had followed Chen Weilan here, already feeling lost, and now faced with two choices, she had no idea what to do.

"Xiao Ai, talented children in Tai Xuan Mountain will go to Yuan Jian Sect to participate in the test. With your aptitude, you only need to complete the spiritual root test to join the sect directly, and a powerful cultivator will accept you as a disciple."

"Uncle Chen hopes you will go to the sect, where you will have better opportunities to cultivate. You can come back to Tai Xuan Mountain anytime. If you don't mind, you can treat this place as your home."

After Chen Weilan finished speaking, Chen Qingmo chimed in, "The Chen Tongluo you just met will also enter the sect at the end of the year. You two can keep each other company then. There are also several members of the Chen clan in the sect, so you can ask them for help."

After listening to the two of them, Zhu Ai began to think.

After a long while, she nodded.

Afterwards, Chen Weilan arranged accommodation for her and showed her around Tai Xuan Mountain, letting her learn about cultivation knowledge with the other children at the Chen Family Academy.

He was cautious throughout his journey and encountered few dangers.

Chen Qingmo did not see any mention in the divination of Chen Weilan facing a life-or-death situation.

"Father, I have now sensed the bottleneck and wish to go into seclusion to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. I still need my elder brother to temporarily handle things in Pinggao County," Chen Weilan said in a deep voice.

"One of our family's disciples, who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He has taken over Pinggao County, so you don't need to go there anymore." Chen Qingmo waved his hand, indicating that his son didn't need to worry, then changed the subject and continued:

"However, the seclusion should be postponed for now. Zhu Ai has just arrived at Tai Xuan Mountain and is not familiar with the people there. You should take her around more often. After all, she is still a child, and it is inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable in an unfamiliar place."

"Oh, and don't forget to tell Zhiwei about this."

If Bai Zhiwei, as Chen Weilan's wife, saw her husband with a strange little girl, she might have some doubts.

After all, even Chen Qingmo had doubts at the beginning.

"Father, don't worry, I'll go find Zhiwei right away."

After saying that, Chen Weilan quickly left.

"Tongluo, come out."

Chen Qingmo glanced behind a rock and said in a deep voice.

"Elder, did you know I was here?"

Chen Tongluo walked out with an embarrassed expression and responded in a low voice.

"You little rascal, you've got your eye on that pretty girl, haven't you?"

Chen Qingmo chuckled.

Six- or seven-year-old children don't understand what "like" means; he was just teasing Chen Tongluo.

Chen Tongluo had never seen such a beautiful little girl before, and he was curious, which Chen Qingmo understood.

But to his surprise, the brat secretly returned to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Fortunately, their conversation did not involve any secrets, and Chen Qingmo had already instructed Chen Weilan not to expose Chen Tongluo's hiding place.

He only called out Chen Tongluo after Chen Weilan left.
