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

Upon hearing this telepathic message, Chen Qingmo immediately headed towards the council hall.

The clan chief said it was an urgent matter, so it must be of great importance.

Upon entering the council hall, Chen Qingmo saw that Chen Mingzheng and Master Tiejian were both there.

"Master, clan leader."

He bowed to the two men and then sat down to one side.

"I heard from Chief Chen that your son got married half a year ago. Unfortunately, I wasn't in Linyuan County at the time, so I couldn't attend the wedding."

Master Tiejian shook his head slightly, somewhat regretful.

"Master has important matters to attend to. I will arrange a separate table for you later."

"Haha, you're very kind, but there's no need for a banquet. You'll be leaving Leizhou with me soon, and my master and I will have a long journey ahead of us."

Chen Qingmo was somewhat puzzled, not understanding what Master Tiejian meant.

Just then, Chen Ming spoke up at the opportune moment: "Qingmo, do you still remember the Three Yuan Forbidden Ground?"

"I remember that the wandering Taoist once offered a spot. I inquired about this matter secretly when I was training in Annan Prefecture, but I did not get any useful information."

Chen Qingmo had assumed that the gathering place of independent cultivators would have a lot of information and would have news about the Three Yuan Forbidden Land, but to his surprise, no one knew anything about it.

He had no intention of leaving Annan Prefecture, as his cultivation level at the time made training there almost the same in terms of effectiveness.

"It would be strange if Annan Prefecture had such intelligence. The Three Yuan Forbidden Land was opened by the Qi Kingdom's Floating Cloud Sect in conjunction with two other major sects."

"This spot is usually only available to disciples of sects and families that have been established for a hundred years. My family has only been established for a short time, so we are not eligible for it."

"That wandering Taoist must be a big shot in the Floating Cloud Sect, which is why he can give away the quota and the Spirit Refining Secret Technique so casually."

Chen Mingzheng obtained the information from the Jinquan Chamber of Commerce, and that's how he got the general idea.

The Jinquan Chamber of Commerce is spread throughout all the states of Qi. Only in Annan State is the situation too chaotic for the Chamber of Commerce to get involved in, but there is also a branch in the Yuman Army area.

"There are still more than half a year before the three sects open their secret realm. Iron Sword Master is going to Lanshui Prefecture next to Yuan Prefecture. Ask him to give you a ride."

Yuanzhou is 40,000 li away from Linyuan County, and it would take Chen Qingmo three or four months to travel there by himself.

Iron Sword Master has broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment and can reach the destination in about ten days using his flying artifact.

"Chieftain, when shall we depart?"

Chen Qingmo inquired, as he wanted to make some preparations in advance.

"At the latest, half a month later, and this departure will take a long time."

"Before you leave, take care of some family matters and collect some spirit stones for your use."

"Now that the family's assets are gradually increasing, a thousand dollars is more than enough for you, so please don't refuse."

After the Chen family was promoted, their businesses in Linyuan County also began to increase.

Although not as wealthy as the Sun and Zheng families, it is still much richer than before.

Even the once-precious Spirit Gathering Pills, the family could prepare ten of for their disciples to exchange.

Chen Qingmo nodded, then listened to some more arrangements before leaving the council hall.

Within the clan, he was the most skilled among the younger generation, even surpassing the older generation's Chen Minglu.

The family hopes he will enter the Three Yuan Forbidden Land. Even if he doesn't get any opportunities, it's still better than guarding this corner of Tai Xuan Mountain.

The affiliated families of sects are like this, especially Qi Refining families, who sometimes find it difficult to travel through more than a few major states in their entire lives.

It is rare for a descendant with three spiritual roots to appear in a clan. Most of them are sent to a sect to cultivate, and only a few remain in the clan to become the head of the family.

Who wouldn't want to gain a Foundation Establishment cultivator through this, thus elevating the status of their entire family to a higher level?

The Chen family is like this, the Bai family is like this, and the old Foundation Establishment families like Sun Zheng are also like this. They also need Foundation Establishment descendants to take over the mission of protecting the family.

In other words, the Chen family was lucky enough to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, which allowed Chen Mingzheng to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator; otherwise, they would have had to wait for Chen Weisheng to break through.

Chen Qingmo told his wife that he would be leaving in half a month.

Su Xue listened without saying anything, but simply nodded calmly.

My husband is now the pillar of the family, and he participates in almost all major family affairs.

She couldn't help now, so she could only act calmly to reassure her husband.

"Xue'er, this time Master Iron Sword Master will take me there, there won't be any danger on the way."

"Keep an eye on Wei Lan and Wei Xia. I'll leave you a few hundred spirit stones before I leave. Just find some easy tasks to do within the clan."

Chen Qingmo received a reward of five hundred spirit stones after the battle with the barbarian witch.

Including what we had previously acquired, it's now close to a thousand.

The clan chief offered him another thousand spirit stones as travel expenses, so he thought he should leave some for his family.

Aside from Chen Weilan having a large appetite and consuming more energy, Su Xue and Chen Weixia's annual energy consumption was no more than a hundred.

Su Xue is currently still refining pills in the alchemy room. With other sources of spirit stones available, he is not too worried.

"Yes, whatever you decide, my husband."

After talking with his wife for a while, Chen Qingmo returned to his cave dwelling.

Since his cultivation level improved, he hasn't had much to do in the clan.

Besides cultivating, he usually studies array formations and talismans.

The oldest elder, Chen Kaiji, still has more than twenty years left to live. He is in good health and handles clan affairs in an orderly manner.

Other clan affairs began to be taken over by some uncles of the Ming generation. Since their cultivation was difficult to improve, they simply gave up their resources to the younger generation.

After pondering for a while, Chen Qingmo walked towards the family's treasure pavilion.

"Qingmo, what are you looking for?"

When the Eighth Elder Chen Kaihe saw him coming, he put down the account book in his hand.

"Eighth Elder, may I make a copy of the clan's talisman book?"

"My cultivation of talismans has reached a bottleneck, hence this request."

Chen Qingmo bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

The talisman book from the Chen family contains fourth-grade talismans, making it extremely valuable.

Disciples within the clan cannot exchange contribution points for it; it can only be learned by those skilled in talismans.

"The clan chief gave us a heads-up long ago; I've been waiting for you to ask."

Chen Kaihe smiled slightly and took out a handwritten note from his storage bag, which he had copied by hand a few days ago.

He was usually quite relaxed in the treasure pavilion, so he prepared this item in advance for Chen Qingmo to come and collect.

Chen Qingmo took the note, only to see Chen Kaihe hand over a storage bag.

"Here's a thousand spirit stones for you. Just take it, so you don't have to make another trip later."

"Thank you for your trouble, Eighth Elder. Qingmo will certainly live up to the family's expectations," Chen Qingmo said solemnly.

He left the treasure pavilion and used the last few days before leaving to improve his talisman skills.

The materials for crafting talismans are relatively cheap, but the losses are quite high during the early stages of practice.

Chen Qingmo has refined Xunfeng Talismans, so he can be considered a third-grade talisman master.

With the help of the family's talisman manual, once I learn a few more third-grade talismans, I will be truly proficient.

Time flies, and half a month has already passed.

Chen Qingmo successfully refined two types of third-grade talismans, adding another layer to his repertoire.

He had been counting down the days, and now it was time to leave.

Iron Sword Master is currently living near the summit of Mount Tai Xuan, not far from Chen Mingzheng.

Chen Qingmo arrived at his master's cave and sent a telepathic message, waiting for him to take him away.

"Have you settled the household chores?"

Master Tiejian stepped out and casually asked.

"Master, I am ready and can leave at any time."

"Yes, it's a journey of 40,000 li, and you may not be able to rest along the way, so you'd better be on your guard."

Seeing Chen Qingmo nod, Iron Sword Master summoned his flying sword and flew directly to the sky above Mount Taixuan.

"Clan Chief Chen, see you another day!"

Master Tiejian transmitted a message downwards, then fled at top speed.

Chen Ming watched the two figures disappear, muttering to himself:

"This is the first time our family has obtained a spot in the forbidden area. We hope Qingmo can gain something from it."
