"Uncle, Qingmo generally doesn't do things without being sure of success. When I told Fellow Daoist Zhou that I was leaving alone, I didn't intend to go too deep. Besides, with Sangque around, ordinary low-level third-tier demonic beasts can't stop us." Chen Qingmo smiled slightly and said to Chen Mingzheng.

"It's good that you know what's going on." Chen Mingzheng nodded and said no more.

Chen Qingmo took out some mid-grade spirit stones and handed them to Chen Mingzheng. After giving him a few instructions, he got up to take his leave and returned to his cave. He immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the Yuanjian Sect.

He wasn't sure if Zhou Tinglong had concealed his solo departure from the sect, but with so many cultivators heading to Huangzhong Gorge, it was unlikely to be a secret.

Not long after he sent the letter, Chen Weisheng and Chen Weilan rushed over. They were relieved to see their father was unharmed.

"You two rascals are so worried about me." Chen Qingmo said jokingly, looking at his two sons who were in a hurry, but his eyes were full of emotion.

He learned from Chen Mingzheng that his disappearance in Huangzhong Gorge was known to only a few people in his family.

People like Su Xue and Chen Weixia knew nothing about it.

After all, Chen Qingmo's life force has not been extinguished. The more people know about this, the less good it will do. On the contrary, it will make others worry.

"Father, are you being a little impulsive?" It was Chen Weilan who spoke. It was no secret that Chen Qingmo was with Sang Que, but he did not think that could guarantee that Chen Qingmo would be completely safe.

During his years of travel, he has become much more mature and stable, and he considers many factors when doing things, trying to minimize risks as much as possible.

Chen Qingmo's actions were clearly inconsistent with what he had told him before, which puzzled him greatly.

"Wei Lan, I will not do anything that would lead to my death. I have a detailed map of Huangzhong Gorge and have also obtained information about the whereabouts of Jin Hu Po, so naturally I will go to search for him. As for acting impulsively, that's completely out of the question." Chen Qingmo did not expect his son to ask him this.

In fact, if it weren't for the inheritance of True Lord Yuheng, he wouldn't have stayed for long. He had already thought about escaping after the Demon Armor Serpent's sneak attack. A piece of Golden Tiger Amber was not enough for him to fight against a third-tier demon beast.

The divination indicates great fortune, which basically means there is no danger to life. If you don't take action now, you may miss the opportunity.

"Golden Tiger Amber?! Father has finally gathered the last main ingredient. That means you can now refine the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core and break through to the Golden Core realm?" Chen Weisheng's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

He knew that his father had spent ten years inquiring about the Golden Tiger Amber for this pill.

"It's a pity there's only one Dragon Flood Ginseng. Refining pills can't tolerate the slightest mistake, so in the end only one pill could be made. Otherwise, we could have let Weisheng try it again to see if this pill is effective." Chen Qingmo said with a hint of regret.

Dragon Ginseng is one of the most difficult medicinal herbs to obtain. A few years ago, he inquired with Jiang Ting and learned that it was virtually impossible for the Floating Cloud Sect to exchange this herb for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him.

Upon receiving this news, Chen Qingmo couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Although he could use Feng Liuying's name to ask Song Luoxi for this item, he would not make that choice. If he did, his already limited friendship would probably vanish completely.

At this time, Chen Qingmo was too weak, so this relationship was still very useful. Anyway, with the Dragon Flood Ginseng bestowed by the Yuanjian Sect, he could just be more careful when refining pills.

"Why is Father still thinking about this? I've already said that if it's really useful, why would I refuse?" Chen Weisheng shook his head helplessly.

After a brief conversation, the father and his two sons learned a great deal about what had happened over the past year.

Zhu Ai has only been in the Yuanjian Sect for a few years, but she has already shown great talent. She has now reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and will probably be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm before she turns twenty.

Chen Tongluo was no less remarkable. Under the examination of the Yuanjian Sect, it was discovered that he possessed a special physique known as the Spiritual Physique.

Even though he only has three spiritual roots, his cultivation speed far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level, second only to those with heavenly spiritual roots.

Chen Tongluo has now broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining and has become one of the key targets of the Yuanjian Sect.

The Chen family received many rewards because of the two, but they also attracted the attention of the sect.

Chen Tongluo, being a member of the Chen family, naturally had no problem, but Zhu Ai was different.

Fortunately, the sect doesn't seem to have any issues with this for the time being; otherwise, the Chen family members would inevitably be questioned.

"Since Zhu Ai and Tong Luo have been chosen by the sect, the family should provide them with resources as much as possible. Let Wei Lan handle this matter and keep an eye on the needs of the two little ones." Chen Qingmo looked at his second son and made the arrangement.

He then gave some of the mid-grade spirit stones left by True Monarch Yuheng to his two sons, saying, "These mid-grade spirit stones were obtained by your father from Huangzhong Gorge. You can use them for cultivation, but remember not to let anyone discover them. With the current strength of our Chen family, we cannot reveal such wealth."

Most people know the principle of not flaunting wealth. Without strong capabilities and a powerful background, who would dare to expose their wealth? Even in secret transactions, they would conceal their identity.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators in Tai Xuan Mountain are all trustworthy people, and Chen Qingmo plans to give each of them a portion of mid-grade spirit stones.

As for the younger generation of the Yuanjian Sect, they cannot be given to them for the time being.

The sect is full of people and eyes, and there is also a Nascent Soul cultivator like Ning Hexing, which is too dangerous.

It would be more prudent to consider this matter only after a Golden Core cultivator emerges in the family.

After distributing the mid-grade spirit stones to everyone, Chen Qingmo roughly counted the remaining amount and found that there were still more than two thousand mid-grade spirit stones left.

Looking at the enormous wealth in his hands, Chen Qingmo couldn't help but smile slightly. He walked towards the alchemy room, intending to discuss alchemy with his wife.

……

Yuanjian Sect, Jingtao Peak.

Zhou Tinglong, sitting in the main hall, received Chen Qingmo's letter, and his expression softened considerably.

He was genuinely afraid that something might happen to Chen Qingmo in Huangzhong Gorge. If that happened, he didn't know how he would face his disciple Chen Weisheng in the future. After all, although it was Chen Qingmo who made the request, he was the one who allowed Chen Qingmo to leave alone.

Fortunately, all was well and Chen Qingmo has returned safely to the Chen family. In his letter, he mentioned that he had gained a lot.

After reading the letter, Zhou Tinglong put it into his storage bag and headed towards the Hall of Ten Thousand Swords.

He did not hide what happened in Huangzhong Gorge from the sect leader and others, and had told them the whole truth.

Chen Qingmo disappeared near the Demon Armored Serpent, and all the Foundation Establishment cultivators present knew this; it was better to tell them than to hide it.

Moreover, Ning Hexing and the others did not pay much attention to this. The purpose of exploring Huangzhong Gorge was to hone these Foundation Establishment cultivators who had reached the peak, hoping that they could sense the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Chen Qingmo was confident enough to walk deep into Huangzhong Gorge, and they didn't want to worry about too much.

The author "Xia Gu Ke" recommends reading "A Daily Divination: From Family Tortoise Shells to the Immortal Clan," available by downloading and installing the "Renren Bookstore" APP.

The sect cannot expend too much power for a member of a family, and Chen Qingmo is not qualified at the moment, so his life or death depends on his fate.

But Chen Qingmo has come out safely, and the sect will definitely want to know about his situation. Zhou Tinglong went there to report to Ning Hexing.

Inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Swords, Ning Hexing sat in the head seat, listening to Xiao Wujian below complaining to him about his cultivation.

He touched his brow, not wanting to pay attention to his junior brother.

"Senior brother, please continue..." Just as Xiao Wujian was about to continue complaining, he saw Zhou Tinglong appear at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Swords Hall.

"Little Zhou is here. What brings you here?" Xiao Wujian chuckled.

At this moment, Ning Hexing finally had some peace and quiet. He looked at Zhou Tinglong and gestured for him to sit down.

"Sect Master, Elder Xiao, Chen Qingmo has returned." Zhou Tinglong said with a slight bow, then handed the letter to Ning Hexing.

He observed their reactions and found that they were calm and their faces were not very turbulent.

After reading the letter, Ning Hexing casually handed it to Xiao Wujian and said to Zhou Tinglong, "Tinglong, you said that Chen Qingmo disappeared a year ago near the territory of the Demon Armored Serpent, and that the Demon Armored Serpent left its territory to guard that place. Have you noticed anything unusual about that place?"

Chen Qingmo didn't mention much in the letter, mainly saying that he had obtained information about a golden tiger amber, which is why he went to find it alone.

Ning Hexing believed this explanation, but he didn't think that was the whole story. Chen Qingmo had been missing for a year; a single piece of golden tiger amber wouldn't have taken that long.

"Sect Master, when I arrived there, I didn't find anything unusual. However, the Demon Armored Serpent had some injuries, which should have been caused by the third-tier demon beast that Chen Qingmo was carrying. As for other matters, I don't know anything." Zhou Tinglong carefully recalled and recounted everything he had seen and heard.

Ning Hexing fell into deep thought after hearing this.

What Zhou Tinglong said was no different from before, but Chen Qingmo's sudden disappearance without leaving any trace made him very curious.

For thousands of years, sects have rarely intervened in the Huangzhong Gorge area. Only a thousand years ago did an elder explore it and record the general area.

The sect obtained the detailed map for the first time after Chu Jing presented it, and not many people knew about it.

Therefore, even after a thousand years, Ning Hexing still doesn't know what the situation is like inside Huangzhong Gorge.

He guessed that Chen Qingmo had most likely stumbled into some secret realm, which was why he disappeared without a trace for a year.

"This kid is truly blessed. Senior brother, how about we try recruiting him into the sect?" Xiao Wujian said, looking up.

He had met Chen Qingmo quite a few times and had a good impression of him.

"No need. Chen Qingmo has already refused. There's no need for the sect to rush to accept him. Anyway, he's still a family cultivator under the sect. If he really has the ability, I'll give him a chance once he breaks through to the Golden Core realm." Ning Hexing waved his hand, rejecting Xiao Wujian's suggestion.

"Then I'll follow Senior Brother's arrangements." Xiao Wujian nodded.

"Tinglong, you don't need to handle sect affairs during this time..." Ning Hexing was about to assign Zhou Tinglong some other tasks when a figure carrying two people hurriedly walked in from outside the Wanjian Hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Du Tang saw Zhou Tinglong and transmitted his voice to Ning Hexing, saying, "Sect Master, something bad has happened. Barbarian spies have appeared in An'nan Prefecture and Lei Prefecture. I have captured them, but one is dead and the other is in a coma."

Du Tang placed the barbarian in his hand on the floor of the main hall and showed it to Ning Hexing.

Upon hearing this, Ning Hexing's eyes narrowed, and he stood up and said in a deep voice, "Elder Du, Wujian and Tinglong are not outsiders, so there is no need to send me a private message. I will summon the sect elders to discuss this matter in detail."

Then, holding a seal, he said a few words.

A moment later, apart from some elders who were in seclusion or traveling, all the elders of the Yuanjian Sect had arrived.

"Elder Du, tell the elders what you said earlier, and recount the details of what happened." Ning Hexing sat at the head of the main hall, his expression very solemn.

After hearing what Du Tang said, the elders looked at the barbarian scout on the ground with different expressions.

"How dare you! You dare to venture deep into the territory of my Yuanjian Sect!" An elder glared angrily.

"First, wake up that unconscious barbarian and interrogate him to see what their purpose is in coming here," Shen Xun said in a deep voice, stroking his beard.

The fact that the barbarians sent spies is not a good thing, and this is the first time in so many years that such a situation has occurred. They must treat it with caution.

The Grand Elder He Xin waved his hand lightly, casting a spell on the living barbarian and simultaneously immobilizing him to prevent him from committing suicide.

"Cough! Cough cough!" After coughing a few times and spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, Man Su opened his eyes and saw the crowd staring at him.

Surrounded by a group of powerful auras, Man Su knew that his actions had failed. He was about to use his blood energy to self-destruct when he found that he could not move.

"What happened? Why has all my power disappeared!" Man Su was shocked, but he did not show any emotion on his face.

"Heh, I knew you'd do this, barbarian. Tell me your purpose, and I might let you go." He Xin sneered as he interrogated Man Su.

But no matter how he interrogated him, Man Su remained silent, keeping his head down and looking listless.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in He Xin's eyes, and he began to inflict torture.

A mournful wail echoed throughout the Hall of Ten Thousand Swords. Large patches of blood appeared beneath Man Su, whose gaze was gloomy and ruthless, yet he remained silent.

"Still a tough nut to crack!" The crowd looked at Man Su and their murderous intent was stirred.

"Sect Master, my method is useless. I would like to trouble you to personally use the Soul Searching Technique." He Xin turned to Ning Hexing and said with his hands clasped.

The punishments he used were extremely cruel, but Man Su endured them all.

Now that things had come to this, He Xin feared that he might have gone too far and killed him, so he stopped the torture.

Moreover, Ning Hexing personally using the Soul Searching Technique would not arouse suspicion from others.

"In that case, this is the last resort." Ning Hexing nodded and formed a hand seal.

He then flashed and appeared in front of Man Su.

A surge of immense power rushed into his mind, and Man Su felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around him, with a constant feeling of his soul being torn apart.

His eyes rolled back, and his whole body convulsed from uncontrollable pain.

"No, don't..." Man Su used his last strength to utter a few words.

The next instant, he lost all life force because he could not withstand Ning Hexing's soul-searching power.

"Sect Master, what's the situation? Have you found out why these two barbarians came?" Many elders in the hall asked anxiously.
