Chapter 91: Zifu Feast (1)

“There’s one more thing,”
Chen Xianhe paused for a moment before saying,” 1 want to bring Daochuan to Guang ‘an Prefecture and teach him. It can also be considered as grooming a successor for the clan’s magical equipment shop.”
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but look at Chen Xianhe’s pale sideburns and felt his throat go dry.
“Alright.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded.” 1’11 talk to Daochuan about this later.”
“Yes.”
Chen Xianhe smiled.” Then there’s nothing else. Go ahead and do what you need to do. 1’11 go back first.”
After saying that.
Chen Xianhe flew alone toward his cave abode in the Copper Mountains.
Chen Daoxuan’s vision blurred as he watched Chen Xianhe disappear from his sight.
At this moment.
He finally realized that Thirteenth Uncle was really old.
Chen Daoxuan desperately tried to grab hold of Thirteenth Uncle’s life, but he realized that he could not do anything.
The Infinite Star Sea had Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could increase one’s lifespan.
However, no one would sell such a treasure.
Even if someone sold it, it was not something that the current Chen family could touch.
” Right, the Zhou Auction!”
Chen Daoxuan suddenly thought of something and clenched his fists tightly.
He remembered that there seemed to be a thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit that could increase a cultivator’s lifespan by 30 years in the Zhou Clan’s auction.
He just didn’t know if the Chen family could afford the price of this Vermilion Fruit.
Thinking of this, Chen Daoxuan took a deep breath.
He knew that even if Chen Xianhe used a life-prolonging treasure, it would only delay the arrival of death.
Chen Xianhe’s Qi and blood had long been declining, and it was not something that a life-prolonging treasure could make up for.
This meant that Chen Xianhe could no longer build his foundation.
At the very least, with Chen Daoxuan’s knowledge, he didn’t know what method the cultivation world had to help someone who had completely lost hope of building a foundation successfully build one.
If the Chen family had risen to prominence fifty years earlier, Chen Xianhe would have been able to build his foundation.
There were many cultivators who had successfully established their foundation with low spirit roots. The quality of their spirit roots was poor, but it meant that their cultivation speed was slow, and their cultivation speed could be made up for by external objects.
For example, all kinds of spirit pills, water spirit pearls, and other treasures that could assist cultivation could make up for the problem of a cultivator’s insufficient spirit root.
Therefore, for large cultivation forces, the spiritual root was only one of the conditions to determine whether to cultivate this immortal seedling, but it was definitely not the only condition, or even the most important condition.
Because his spiritual roots were insufficient, he could still use resources to make up for it.
However, it was difficult to make up for the lack of talent with external items.
Therefore, big sects or families like the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, in addition to the spiritual roots of their disciples, would also use various methods to test and temper their disciples ‘temperament.
If Chen Xianhe was a few decades younger, he could have used resources to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage or even higher, just like the cultivators of the Dao generation.
However, Chen Xianhe’s vitality had completely declined. Even if a Nascent Soul was invited, it would be useless, let alone heavenly and earthly treasures. At most, it would be able to extend his lifespan.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
In the southwest sea area of the Infinite Star Sea.
The Chen family’s Blue Cloud sailed on the rippling sea. Chen Daoxuan was wearing a green Taoist robe and his hair was tied up in a bun. His thin and handsome face was facing a huge island in the distance.
The island in front of him was called Golden Crow Island.
It got its name from the fact that the island looked like a golden crow falling from the sky.
Golden Crow Island was the ancestral land of the Yang Family, the second largest family in Guang ‘an Prefecture.
The Yang Family was called Lingyuan Prefecture. Compared to Guang ‘an Prefecture, Lingyuan Prefecture was much less famous. Generally, except for some family disciples, very few rogue cultivators had heard of this name.
It was completely different from the Guang ‘an Prefecture of the Spiritual Shell Island, which was well-known not only in the sea area of a hundred thousand miles.
Even in the entire Cang Prefecture, Guang ‘an Prefecture Immortal City was a famous immortal city.
Guang ‘an City’s reputation was closely related to the Zhou Family’s strength.
One had to know that due to several calamities in Cangzhou, the number of high-level cultivators in the state had dwindled. So far, there was only one Golden Core cultivator in Cangzhou, the Ye family ancestor, and he was an early-stage Golden Core cultivator.
From the looks of it, in terms of foundation and strength, the Zhou family was almost only below the Ye family.
In the entire Azure Continent, there were not many families that could compare to the Zhou family.
The Zhou Clan Patriarch was at the peak Zifu level, and he was about to reach the Golden Core stage.
Zhou Mubai, a prodigy of the Zhou Clan, was a figure on the Zifu Disciple Rankings. It had to be known that cultivators who could make it onto the Zifu Disciple Rankings, as long as they didn’t die midway, would almost all become Golden Cores.
Based on Zhou Mubai’s age and talent, his chances of breaking through to the Aurous Core Stage were even higher than the Zhou family’s ancestor.
Looking at it this way.
It was understandable why the cultivators of the Zhou Clan were so arrogant in Guang ‘an Prefecture. It was entirely because of the confidence that their clan’s strength had given them.
Or rather, it was the confidence that Zhou Mubai gave them.
Regardless of whether the Zhou family’s ancestor broke through to Golden Core or Zhou Mubai became a Golden Core in the future, the Zhou family could instantly replace the awkward Ye family and become the number one family in the Azure Continent.
At that time.
The Zhou family’s influence was more than ten times wider than it was now.
The benefits brought by this could not be simply calculated with numbers.
As the Gray Cloud docked at the port of the Golden Crow Island.
Chen Daoxuan discovered that there were already a large number of ships docked at the port.
In the sky.
There were also Foundation Establishment Cultivators flying past.
Half a year later.
Chen Daoxuan’s cultivation had also improved, reaching the eighth qi layer, only a step away from the ninth qi layer.
Even now, Chen Daoxuan was still in disbelief.
In just two short years, he had advanced from the third qi layer to the eighth qi layer.
It was about two and a half levels in a year.
This speed was comparable to Zhou Mubai’s.
He even suspected that if he had the current cultivation conditions earlier, he might have been able to break Zhou Mubai’s Foundation Establishment record.
When the Gray Cloud stopped.
Chen Daoxuan leaped and flew to the dock.
At the pier.
There were many Qi Condensation cultivators like Chen Daoxuan. Most of them were disciples of Qi Condensation clans, and only a small number of them were itinerant cultivators.
Obviously.
These freelance martial artists who were invited by the Yang family were all outstanding in some aspects.
It was impossible for him to be someone who was useless except for his cultivation.
Chen Daoxuan was at the eighth qi layer, so he didn’t stand out in the crowd.
These cultivators who were able to represent the various Ki Refining clans in the Zifu Banquet were basically the clan leaders of the clans who had brought their most outstanding descendants.
It was rare to see someone like Chen Daoxuan alone in the crowd.
Therefore, it attracted the attention of some people.
“Greetings, Fellow Daoist.”
Looking around.
A fat middle-aged cultivator with a smile on his face saw Chen Daoxuan. His eyes lit up and he walked over. He cupped his hands and said,”I am a cultivator from the Zhang Clan of Spirit Gourd Island. May 1 ask if you are Fellow Daoist Chen of Twin Lakes Island?”
Hearing this greeting, the crowd immediately started whispering.
“Chen Clan cultivators?”
“Which Chen family?”
” The Chen family that sells magic tools in the wandering cultivator market in Guang ‘an Prefecture.”
“Is it that Chen family? I heard that they have connections with the Zhou family. 1 wonder if it’s true!”
” It should be groundless accusations. Why would the Zhou Clan protect a Qi Refinement Clan?”
Hearing this greeting.
Chen Daoxuan stopped and looked at the other party. “”Oh? Fellow Daoist, do you recognize me?”
Seeing Chen Daoxuan speak, the fat cultivator was so happy that his face squeezed together.
“When I went to the Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Shop to buy a flying sword, 1 was fortunate enough to see you, Fellow Daoist.”
“I see.”
Chen Daoxuan smiled and invited,” Since that’s the case, why don’t we travel together?”
“I can’t ask for more!”
When the fat cultivator heard this, he was instantly excited.
The Chen family was the most popular refining family in Guang ‘an Prefecture recently. Even Foundation Building families had been rushing to make friends with them in order to obtain the magic tools refined by the Chen family first.
His Zhang Clan was a Qi Refining Clan that didn’t even have a spirit vein.
Normally, he couldn’t even curry favor with them.. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
