Mortal: Dual-Body Transmigration, Proving the Dao in Two Realms

"Forty plants?"

Chen Hanchuan was shocked.

This is no small number; it accounts for almost half of the spiritual herbs that Huangfeng Valley used to earn!

"Even ordinary spiritual herbs that are three or four hundred years old are very beneficial to Foundation Establishment cultivators. If this kid could keep ten of them, his Foundation Establishment realm might improve rapidly, and his chances of forming a Core in the future would greatly increase, wouldn't that?"

Thinking of this, Chen Hanchuan's eyes immediately changed.

A Core Formation cultivator's lifespan is five hundred years!

Even if the Chen family patriarch fails to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and dies of old age, as long as Chen Ming can break through to the Core Formation stage, he can still extend the Chen family's glory for hundreds of years.

Moreover.

If a Core Formation cultivator were to emerge from their branch, they would surely be promoted to the main branch and placed on the same level as the current direct descendants of the ancestor.

"I will find a way to handle this. You should go back and prepare. The clan will prepare everything you need for your trip in." Chen Hanchuan said to Chen Ming, suppressing his excitement.

"Yes."

Chen Ming agreed and bowed as he withdrew from the cave.

Since his second grandfather had already agreed, he believed that the other party would definitely handle these matters well for him.

Next.

He just needs to wait for the Crimson Forbidden Land to open.

......

Time flies.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Yellow Maple Valley

Outside the council hall, dozens of disciples of varying heights, dressed in yellow robes, stood upright on the bluestone slabs of the square. Their faces were solemn, as if they were waiting for something.

At this time.

A spirit boat flew in from the horizon and landed on the square. Seven figures stepped off from it.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Chen!"

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Upon seeing the figure at the front, Zhong Lingdao immediately bowed respectfully and called out. The Qi Refining disciples behind him, having exchanged greetings beforehand, also bowed and shouted along with their sect leader.

"No need for formalities."

Chen Haoran, dressed as a Confucian scholar, simply waved his sleeves and spoke indifferently in response to the greetings from his disciples and nephews.

"Yes, Uncle Chen."

Zhong Lingdao then straightened up.

"These are the members of my Chen family who are participating in the Crimson Forbidden Land this time. Nephew Zhong, please let them join the team. Are all the other disciples present?"

Seeing this, Chen Haoran got straight to the point.

"Reporting to Martial Uncle, all nineteen disciples who came to participate in the Crimson Forbidden Land have gathered and are now waiting for the Ancestor to distribute the rewards," Zhong Lingdao hurriedly replied.

"Um."

Chen Haoran nodded slightly.

"Let's begin then, you all join the team!"

The words fell.

The group of people standing behind Chen Haoran joined the ranks of the dozens of disciples who had been there before, under the guidance of Zhong Lingdao, and formed two rows.

Then Zhong Lingdao clapped his hands.

Two disciples, each carrying a tray, walked over from the main hall in the distance.

One tray held a storage bag with gold trim, while the other tray held colorful spirit stones.

These are all rewards given by Yellow Maple Valley to encourage disciples to participate in the Crimson Forbidden Land.

Each person will receive one mid-grade spirit stone and one high-grade magic weapon.

Zhongling Dao arranged the positions for the Chen family members very cleverly, allowing them to choose magical artifacts and spirit stones immediately.

A short while later.

Then a disciple carrying a tray approached a disciple wearing a yellow robe that shimmered with spiritual light.

"This must be the prodigy of the Chen family in this generation. His robes are so dazzling that anyone who didn't know better would think he went in for a visit."

The disciple in charge looked at this person and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The other disciples, and even the remaining members of the Chen family, were all wearing ordinary robes.

Only this prodigy of the Chen family made such a dazzling choice!

That's right.

This prodigy of the Chen family is none other than Chen Ming!

His choice to wear a robe was naturally a way to attract attention, so that he would be seen as a fat sheep in the Crimson Forbidden Land.

"Searching for things yourself is nowhere near as fast as stealing from someone else."

Chen Ming muttered to himself, then selected a mid-grade spirit stone from the tray in front of him.

After putting the spirit stones into his storage bag, Chen Ming turned his gaze to Chen Haoran, who was dressed as a Confucian scholar.

This Confucian scholar.

He is now the ancestor of the Chen family, a cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation!

"Second Grandfather is quite capable, he even managed to get the Ancestor to come. But it's good this way, with the Ancestor around, it will be easier for me to hide the spiritual medicine." Chen Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

With their own Core Formation cultivators personally leading the team, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they want?

No matter what.

He was accepted as a disciple by the patriarch, but half of his spiritual medicine was also taken away from him.

In the capacity of an ancestor.

They would at least leave him a batch of spiritual herbs, or simply give him a batch of pills for Foundation Establishment cultivation.

......

the other side.

Chen Haoran naturally noticed Chen Ming's gaze as well.

"That secret technique was handed over by this junior, wasn't it? I wonder what kind of talent he has, that even Han Chuan thinks he has the potential to condense his core. Alas, I am getting old, I hope this junior can truly be nurtured." Chen Haoran sighed inwardly.

As a cultivator who has lived for over three hundred years and has only just broken through to the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Knowing the limitations of his future path, Chen Haoran has focused his attention on his disciples and descendants all these years.

Unfortunately, the younger generation was not up to par.

Let alone breaking through to the Core Formation stage, there isn't even a single cultivator who has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Left with no other choice.

Chen Haoran could only place his hopes on himself, spending the past few years either in seclusion or in cultivation.

This is also why the Chen family has kept a low profile in recent years.

Several years ago, a secret technique was delivered to Chen Haoran, who immediately saw the potential contained within it.

then.

Chen Haoran resolutely emerged from seclusion and regained power within the sect.

Such as this time.

Originally, the task of opening the Crimson Forbidden Land should have been undertaken by Li Huayuan, who had only recently formed his core, but Chen Hanchuan's visit led Chen Haoran to take the initiative to intervene in the matter.

Fortunately, this task has always been considered a chore.

After giving him a small spiritual object, Li Huayuan handed it over to Chen Haoran without much hesitation.

"The spiritual herbs within the Crimson Forbidden Land are decreasing year by year. If we can seize more spiritual herbs before it closes, it will be good for the development of the sect and the Chen family. If this junior can live up to expectations, I, the patriarch, will not mind helping him to keep some spiritual herbs for himself."

Thinking of what Chen Hanchuan had told him during his previous visit, a smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Haoran's face.

"Uncle-Master, the rewards have all been distributed."

At this moment, Zhong Lingdao came to Chen Haoran's side and said in a soft and respectful voice.

"cough."

Chen Haoran quickly regained his composure, cleared his throat, and ordered, "Now that everything is ready, let's all board the spirit boat and prepare to depart!"

"yes!"

Zhong Lingdao agreed.

Under his arrangement, the disciples boarded Chen Haoran's spirit boat one after another. This spirit boat was extremely large, and even though it could accommodate dozens of people, it did not feel crowded.

"rise!"

Seeing that everyone had boarded the spirit boat, Chen Haoran made a hand seal, and the spirit boat immediately took off and flew towards the depths of the Yue Kingdom.
