Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 132 Qianqian builds her foundation! Her strength increases dramatically

……

Chenghai.

Beneath the vast yellow mud sea, in a deep ravine, a base of the Blood Soul Cult lies quietly dormant.

Undercurrents surged in the seabed, and the slightly turbid sea water naturally had the effect of confusing the vision. Coupled with the cover of the formation, this Blood Soul Cult base had a very strong concealment.

now.

Inside the submarine base.

Chen Xuanmo, in the state of heroic spirit, put his hands behind his back and strolled around like he was familiar with the place.

He looked around as if he was inspecting his own property.

After dealing with the blood fog and the defeated army, the situation in Hedong County became a little more stable. Chen Xuanmo also had some free time, so he took the opportunity to come over and take a look, hoping to get some useful information.

"This old guy is no good. Over the years, the facilities in the base have basically not changed." Chen Xuanmo shook his head, thinking that this underwater blood soul envoy lacked ambition and had no development. The atmosphere in the entire base was also very depressing.

While strolling around, Chen Xuanmo unknowingly walked to a blood pool that was the base of an array in the corner of the base.

At this moment, several masked blood deacons were standing next to the blood pool, taking turns using blood evil gourds to infuse the blood pool with blood evil power.

After one of them finished drinking, he shook the gourd, feeling the emptiness inside, and unconsciously put on a mask of pain on his face: "This can't go on. These past few years, I've only had expenses and no income. Life has been too hard."

Another blood deacon advised him: "The adults' action strategy now is to lie dormant. You have to be patient."

"I'm not afraid of lying dormant, but if I keep doing this every day, I won't even have the blood evil power I need for cultivation. I'm stuck at the peak of the eighth level now, which is too uncomfortable."

"Brother Xueliu, how about you discuss with the adults and think of a way to go out and fight, sacrifice blood in two mortal towns, and restore the power of the blood evil?"

The blood steward known as "Blood Sixteen" snorted coldly: "I advise you to be quiet recently. Liaoyuan County was just sacrificed in blood not long ago. Now the major sects of Wu Kingdom must be strictly investigating and guarding. Going out for blood sacrifice now is equivalent to committing a crime against the wind. Don't implicate us if you are caught."

"Oh, I really envy those brothers who went to Liaoyuan County. This wave is enough to fatten them up. Maybe a few blood soul masters will be born!"

"I don't know which guardian did this, it's really neat and tidy."

These blood deacons were bored to their core, complaining and envying others. They had no idea that there was a heroic spirit somewhere between existence and non-existence, listening to the entire thing and even chiming in with them.

Unfortunately, after they finished complaining, they dispersed and no more useful information was obtained.

Afterwards, Chen Xuanmo went to visit his old friend the "Undersea Blood Soul Envoy" again.

By the way, to date, Chen Xuanmo still doesn’t know his name.

There was no way out. His direct subordinates all called him "Sir" or "Envoy", and did not dare to call him by his name, so that he had eavesdropped many times but still did not know his name.

Therefore, Chen Xuanmo simply gave him a code name, "Undersea Blood Soul Envoy".

However, this time the Sea Blood Soul Envoy was not teaching his juniors a lesson, but was in seclusion.

After observing for a while, Chen Xuanmo left with boredom.

Alas, this trip was in vain. I didn’t hear any useful information.

He still did not report this stronghold, and planned to continue to support this Sea Blood Soul Envoy, playing the long game to catch the big fish.

I hope that one day I can trace the root of his crime and find out who is his immediate superior - Mr. Protector!
Back to Chen's.

Chen Xuanmo took stock of the purple energy expenditure after this awakening.

Just to kill Blood Mist, he consumed 347 strands of purple energy, and the bulk of the energy was spent on searching for Blood Mist's whereabouts.

For this, he spent three golden seals and conducted a secret investigation before he finally confirmed that the Lu Hao sword that returned to its roots a hundred years ago was the incarnation of blood mist.

Judging from this point of view, the infiltration and planning of the Blood Soul Cult most likely began a hundred years ago, and at that time Chen Xuanmo had only been in Hedong County for a short time and was still in the stage of struggling.

And it is unknown how many people in the Blood Soul Sect are in situations similar to Lu Haojian's. It is really terrifying to think about it.

Apart from that, there is only a small amount of purple energy consumed in daily life.

Now, there are 599 strands of purple energy left in the lucky bead.

As for merit and contribution points, after clearing out the defeated Blood Soul Sect's army and the blood mist, they have been accumulated almost enough, at least enough to support the Chen family to build the "Youth Version" of the [Five Elements Tower]. By then, the Chen family members will have made great progress in both cultivation and offense in defending their home.

Even the family's five elements formation can be connected to the five medium-grade spirit veins, which can save a lot of five elements spirit stones when activated.

The only thing missing at the moment is two medium-grade spiritual veins, one of which is fire and the other is water.

In order to avoid robbing Peter to pay Paul, he still had to spend some purple jade tokens to search carefully.

Immediately, Chen Xuanmo consumed another 330 points of purple energy and refined 30 purple energy jade tokens, preparing to use them all in the search team next year.

The family still has three gold seals and jade medals that have not been used, which can guarantee safety to a certain extent.

He himself, carrying the remaining 269 strands of purple energy, fell into a deep sleep.

***
In a blink of an eye, it was already the 225th year of the Xuanmo calendar.

In the early summer of that year, Chen Xuanmo was awakened by Chen Ningtai and was told that the Chiqiu ancestor of the Lingbei Zheng family was dying.

After hearing the news, Chen Xuanmo fell into silence for a moment.

When he first came to Qingyu Cliff, there was not even the Cangyi Wei City. The few foundation-building cultivators he dealt with were the Chiqiu boy from the Zheng family, the Guangling boy from the Nanyue Zhao family, and Bai Xinrong from the Bai family.

By now, old ghost Xinrong had been beaten to death by Chen, and Zhao Guangling also died at the hands of the Blood-Handed Demon Butcher. The last remaining boy Chiqiu was able to survive, but now he has come to the end of his life.

In fact.

Chen Xuanmo was not actually alive. Instead, he was the first to die among the four.

ah~
Sighing silently in his heart, Chen Xuanmo controlled the Xuanmo Spirit Sword to shrink in size and it fell into Chen Ningtai's hands.

Chen Ningtai understood what he meant, and immediately kept the Xuanmo Spirit Sword close to him. Then he took Jingyun with him and took a spirit boat all the way to the main residence of the Zheng family in Lingbei.

Upon receiving the news, the future head of the Zheng family's new generation, Zheng Haoze, came to greet him in person.

This was the most critical period for the Zheng family in Lingbei. Zheng Haoze looked a little tired, and it was obvious that these days were very tormenting. However, he still behaved in an orderly manner, and knew when to advance and retreat. He was also very respectful and grateful to Chen Ningtai.

He led Chen Ningtai all the way to the bedside of the Chiqiu ancestor.

At this time, Old Ancestor Chi Qiu no longer had the charm and demeanor of his heyday, but instead looked haggard and exhausted.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ningtai couldn't help but recall the scene when his father was dying, and couldn't help but choke up a little: "Brother Zheng Dao..."

"Master Ningtai!" Holding Chen Ningtai's hand, Patriarch Chiqiu seemed to have regained some energy, "Please take care of Zheng family for my sake."

"Sure." Chen Ningtai nodded heavily.

The Chen and Zheng families are related by marriage. Although they compete with each other and occasionally have dirty grudges in private, they still adhere to the general principle of helping each other and taking care of each other, and their relationship is actually maintained quite well.

Especially in the last 10 to 20 years, with the gradual rise of the Chen family, the Zheng family has gradually followed the Chen family's lead and followed them to carry out tasks everywhere.

However, precisely because of this, the Zheng family has been developing well recently. Not only has the family easily completed the foundation-building transition, but there are also three young foundation-building seeds, including Zheng Lingyun. The future is promising.

When Patriarch Chiqiu saw that Chen Ningtai agreed, he laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, old ghost Xuanmo, old ghost Guangling, I, Chiqiu, have come to find you. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"

As soon as this sentence is finished.

The old ancestor Chi Qiu tilted his head and died.

There was a sudden sound of wailing and crying in front of the bed.

"Grandfather, great-grandfather, ancestor..."

"Ah~~"

Chen Ningtai sighed deeply, stood for a moment, and then left in silence.

Chen Xuanmo remained silent throughout the whole process.

Boy Chiqiu, you came to see me off, and I will also see you off, so we are even now.

But even if you come to find me, I don’t want to be found by you.

oh~~
Chen Xuanmo sighed softly again.

The era of Chen Xuanmo has finally come to an end~

In the future, as time goes by, the mark he left on this world will eventually become fainter and fainter.

However, Chen Xuanmo changed his mind and put aside these decadent thoughts.

Now I am very lucky that I can protect my family's growth in the form of a heroic spirit. Perhaps after the Xuanmo Spirit Sword is promoted to a certain level, I will have a chance to reappear in the world.

After sending Chi Qiu off, Chen Xuanmo returned to the main house and fell into silence.

***
Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Chen family’s annual ancestor worship ceremony.

Autumn of the 225th year of the Xuanmo calendar.

Chen Xuanmo woke up to Chen Ningtai's everlasting and nagging eulogy.

This time, the "dragon" did not see the purple air pillars, and he could not help but feel unhappy again.

Firstly, he was angry at his rebellious son Zhongli Ye for not taking action until he saw the benefits. Secondly, he was angry at his fourth son Chen Ningzhuo for being incompetent and unable to even deal with Zhongli Ye, causing him to lose 400 strands of purple energy in vain.

He counted the purple qi listlessly, and found that the amount absorbed this time reached 431 strands. Finally, with the strength of the entire clan, he surpassed Zhongli Nizi alone. Adding the 269 strands left over from last time and the 1 strand consumed by Chi Qiu, the purple qi stock now reached 699 strands!
It was considered so-so, which made Chen Xuanmo feel a little safe.

After that, there was a small family gathering in Moxiang Pavilion.

As Chen Xuanmo looked forward to it, Chen Ningtai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reported on the achievements of the South Wilderness Pioneering Team and the East China Sea Exploration Team throughout the past year.

A total of thirty purple jade tokens were used up, but the overall harvest was mediocre, with a value of only a few thousand spirit stones.

If an ordinary foundation-building family could earn several thousand extra spirit stones a year, they would naturally be grinning from ear to ear.

But Chen Xuanmo was not satisfied and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

This purple energy card drawing mechanism is getting more and more tricky, and the chance of winning the jackpot is getting lower and lower.

If it really doesn't work, I will just use a small amount of golden seal to pave the way next year, so as to avoid the purple jade token being used up as a guarantee.

However, judging from the fact that he only picked up 100 spirit stones to give Jing Yun the first purple mark, the guaranteed chance it triggered was actually just that.

and many more.

Chen Xuanmo paused suddenly.

Is the purpose of my first purple mark really just to trigger the opportunity to pick up one hundred spirit stones?
Judging from the operation mode of this mark, the first draw or the earlier draws are more likely to produce stronger opportunities.

The first purple mark I gave Jingyun was not only the first purple mark, but also the first draw in the whole game! Giving him 100 spirit stones doesn't seem right~
Chen Xuanmo carefully recalled the scene when he woke up on the seventh day after his death.

After giving Jingyun the mark, Qianqian then triggered the plot of meeting Jingyun. After a struggle, Jingyun was about to leave, triggering the purple mark, and then picking up money... Then, he was entangled by Qianqian, and a series of stories happened...

Understood!
Chen Xuanmo slapped his thigh, but hit nothing. His eyes were filled with excitement: "Jing Yun's first draw must have brought about a great opportunity, and picking up those 100 spirit stones is just a chance to trigger an even greater opportunity."

As for the greater opportunity, it is undoubtedly Qianqian!

If Jing Yun had not picked up the one hundred spirit stones, perhaps Qianqian would have left after being rejected by him, and would not have stayed by his side and continued to interact with him.

Perhaps it won’t be long before Qianqian’s repair shop can no longer operate, and she will leave Sheshan Market and develop elsewhere.

Sure enough.

Chen Xuanmo thought about it carefully and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

Qianqian, it seems like you’re about to advance to the foundation-building stage, right?

Following Chen Xuanmo's inquiry, Chen Ningtai replied, "Qianqian has reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage this year, but she feels that she is still young and can polish her foundation for another year. She wants to make an appointment for promotion next year, but the family's foundation-building pills have been exchanged for her, so she can be promoted anytime!"

"It's better to polish it a little more." Chen Xuanmo nodded, "If the foundation is not stable enough, even if it is barely established, it will lose some potential."

Chen Xuanmo remembered that his rebellious son Zhongli Ye seemed to have established his foundation at the age of fifty.

Qianqian is only 48 years old now, so it’s not too urgent.

Moreover, Qianqian had wasted a lot of time on cultivation when she was young. Otherwise, with the occasional help of purple energy, she should have been able to build her foundation faster.

After all, there were so many purple and gold marks infused into Wang Qianqian's body. Although most of them exploded in weapon refining and puppet refining, occasionally some of them would trigger sudden enlightenment in spiritual practice.

The cumulative effect is quite good.

This year, when he had nothing to do, Chen Xuanmo went to the Chenghai Undersea Blood Soul Sect base again, visited his old friend the Undersea Blood Soul Cult, and inspected the situation there.

Perhaps it is due to the Blood Soul Cult's overall strategy problem, there is still no movement there.

then.

Chen Xuanmo returned to Qingyu Cliff.

After careful consideration, Chen Xuanmo did not make the purple jade plate this time. Instead, he spent 330 strands of purple energy to make three gold-seal jade plates.

Including the three remaining unused pieces in the clan, there are a total of six gold seals and jade tablets.

This time we will not divide our forces. We will use the treasure boat and the Xuanmo spirit boat to explore the Southern Wilderness first.

This time you can go a little deeper and explode at most four gold seals and jade plates. You must return when there are two left. This way it will be relatively safe.

The reason why Chen Xuanmo did not directly inject the golden mark, but preferred to spend more purple energy to make the jade token, was mainly because the Southern Wilderness was desolate and needed to be explored carefully. The whole process might take several months or even half a year.

If he gave it in advance, what if he triggered a rubbish opportunity halfway?
In addition, the exploration would take too long and it would not be convenient for Chen Xuanmo to follow.

of course.

The most important reason is safety and security.

If the elite members of the tribe died in the Southern Wilderness, as long as he, the heroic ancestor, was still around, there might still be a chance to rescue them.

Even if he cannot be rescued, at least there is still a chance to rebuild the family. But if this heroic ancestor of his ancestor dies in the Southern Wilderness, the family will really be finished.

You know, there are big monsters in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, and even the old monster Ziyin doesn't dare to say that he can definitely win.

Of course, this time when Chen enters the Southern Wilderness to explore, he will still not go too deep. He will only circle around the edge of the Southern Wilderness. It is very far away from the depths of the Southern Wilderness and is relatively safe. With so many golden marks protecting it, the probability of accidents is not high.

After the arrangements are made.

Chen Xuanmo fell into a deep sleep again.

***
In a blink of an eye, time has come to the autumn of the 226th year of the Xuanmo calendar.

He woke up again, but it was not because of the annual sacrificial ceremony, but because Chen Ningtai woke Chen Xuanmo up ten days in advance by asking his father to appear.

Of course, nothing bad happened this time.

Instead, Chen Ningtai wanted to ask his father to look after Qianqian while she was building her foundation.

With Qianqian's aptitude of three spiritual roots, the probability of success in building the foundation after swallowing a foundation-building pill is basically 99%. The reason why she asked Chen Xuanmo to take care of her was naturally because she hoped that when Qianqian was building the foundation, she could trigger some opportunities and comprehend more of the true meaning of the fire element.

Moreover, the reason why Qianqian's foundation-building time was placed before the sacrifice, rather than after the sacrifice, was naturally because the purple energy produced by the foundation-building cultivator during the sacrifice was much greater than that of the Qi-refining cultivator.

Why not earn a little extra purple energy for nothing?
Naturally, Chen Xuanmo would not refuse such a good thing.

Afterwards, Chen Xuanmo was led by Chen Ningtai to the family facility - the youth version of the [Red Fire Tower].

and many more.

Red Fire Tower?
Chen Xuanmo looked in astonishment at the seven-story pagoda, which was surrounded by flames like colored glass, with a look of shock in his eyes.

He remembered that the family seemed to have not built the Red Fire Tower yet?
"Father, I have something to report to you."

Chen Ningtai entered the Red Fire Tower with the Xuan Mo Ling Sword while explaining, with a hint of smugness between his brows.

"Last year, I asked Brother He to take Dao Ling and the puppet to guard the house, while I personally led the tribesmen to the Southern Wilds with six golden jade tablets to open up new areas. In just three months, I used up two golden jade tablets and found a cave with abundant fire spiritual energy."

"There lived a fourth-order red-flame python. I led the others to kill it and discovered a mid-grade fire spirit vein in the cave, as well as a lot of fire spirit stones, fire treasures, and gold treasures!"

"After I collected the spiritual stones, fire python materials, and natural treasures, I immediately returned and spent my merits to ask Senior Taiyue, who is still guarding our Hedong County, to go and draw back the fire spiritual vein."

"After that, of course, there was another round of transplanting, and we built the Red Fire Tower and other basic structures! This year, the child was very busy, but also very rewarding."

Hearing Chen Ningtai's smug look, as if all the credit was his, Chen Xuanmo really wanted to beat him up.

Without your support of the gold seal and jade token, how could you, Chen Ningtai, have such an opportunity?
As the saying goes, no one knows a father better than his son. Chen Ningtai sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly added, "Of course, all this is the result of my father's wise leadership."

"Haha, you are a rebellious son who says one thing and thinks another." Chen Xuanmo was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Now Chen Xuanmo's heart is entirely on Wang Qianqian.

He broke away from his rebellious son and flew directly to the seventh floor of the Red Fire Tower with his sword.

When he reached the seventh floor where the fire spiritual energy was the most concentrated, he saw Wang Qianqian who was sitting cross-legged in meditation and had adjusted her mentality and state.

As soon as she saw the Xuan Mo Spirit Sword flying up, Wang Qianqian also showed a happy smile on her face, her bright eyes slightly curved, and she smiled: "Grandpa, I have prepared everything, and my cultivation has been thoroughly polished and rounded."

"Buzz!"

Chen Xuanmo trembled slightly in response, turned around and pressed the access control array with the hilt of his sword. The door to the seventh floor of the pagoda closed directly, blocking Chen Ningtai outside.

Even if this rebellious son comes, he can't help. What's the use of him?

Wang Qianqian also understood what he meant, and immediately swallowed the foundation-building pill that had been prepared long ago, and started directly to reach the foundation-building stage.

At the same time, a purple mark appeared in the middle of her eyebrows, and then the color became darker and darker, and finally turned into a golden mark.

Chen Xuanmo thought about it and realized that the sacrificial day would be in ten days and he would be able to harvest another wave of purple energy, so he simply indulged himself and strengthened the golden mark again until its color became brighter.

This is the blessing effect of the double golden seal.

After all, Qianqian is an extremely rare person who has three spiritual roots in foundation building, so it would be good to lay more foundation for her.

At this time, Chen Xuanmo's purple energy reserves had also dropped to 165 strands.

Next, Chen Xuanmo did not do anything else, but just stayed quietly beside Wang Qianqian.

"Boom!"

The strengthened golden mark suddenly exploded and turned into nothingness.

Chen Xuanmo looked at Wang Qianqian with some surprise, only to see that she was lost in a profound enlightenment, and her foundation-building process was fast and steady, almost as smooth and easy as natural breathing.

As time passed, Wang Qianqian naturally and successfully established her foundation, and the spiritual power in her body turned into true energy.

But it's not over yet.

The foundation-building process has been completed, but Wang Qianqian has not yet come out of her enlightenment. She is still immersed in the mysterious perception.

And her aura continued to transform during this process, as if she was comprehending something.

suddenly.

A blazing flame emerged from her body, lingering around her body and constantly spinning, sometimes penetrating into her body, and sometimes circling in her empty palms, appearing extremely agile.

Three Yang True Fire! ?
Chen Xuanmo was slightly startled.

Earlier in the Qi Refining Stage, Qianqian had already mastered a wisp of Three Yang True Fire, but it was too weak and small, and it was extremely difficult to use it every time.

But now the Three Yang True Fire has become as strong and agile as a fire snake, and it fits Qianqian very well, so it is obviously much easier to control.

Good guy!
As expected of a fire cultivator with three spiritual roots, he was able to master such a level of Three Yang True Fire just after establishing his foundation.

No, the rebellious son Zhongli Ye was also a fire cultivator with three spiritual roots, but he didn’t even have control over the true fire when he was building his foundation.

Wait! That’s not right. Why hasn’t the epiphany ended yet?

Chen Xuanmo was a little confused and looked at Wang Qianqian in surprise, bewilderment and bewilderment.

Soon, a mysterious aura emanated from Wang Qianqian.

This is the true meaning of the Fire Element.

And judging from the aura emitted by the true meaning and the feeling it gave him, he should have already achieved a small level of success in the true meaning of fire.

Chen Xuanmo was confused.

It was not until Chen Xuanmo reached the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage that he realized the true meaning of the Fire Element. It was not until he was about to die of old age that he barely reached the threshold of achieving a small degree of success in the true meaning of the Fire Element.

As for the rebellious son Chen Ningtai, he relied on his golden seal to comprehend the rudiments of the true meaning when he was at the fourth level. After he honed himself along the way and was blessed by the Taoist seal of Taiyi Gengjin Zhenjue, he finally achieved a small success in the true meaning of the gold element.

But Wang Qianqian... has just entered the foundation-building stage, but she has already achieved some success in the true meaning of the fire element!
Anyway, as far as Chen Xuanmo knew, the rebellious son Zhongli Ye didn't even comprehend the rudiments of the true meaning of the Fire Element when he was building his foundation. He only comprehended it slowly later and gradually achieved minor success.

Qianqian's foundation-building effect has far exceeded Chen Xuanmo's expectations.

This made him start to wonder whether this was the effect of his two golden seals, or the effect of her own talent and skills.

Maybe both.

This girl's foundation-building method must be very complicated, otherwise even the way the golden mark takes effect would not be so unique.

Chen Xuanmo was happy, but also slightly worried.

The good news is that Qianqian has become very powerful all of a sudden, and her fighting power is probably close to Chen Ningzhuo, second only to Chen Ningtai.

What worries her is that the problems she faces may not be as simple as she initially imagined.
