Chapter 240 Seven Alchemy Family

Passing through the arch bridge, a large hall a hundred feet away appeared in Lu Yang's sight. The style of this hall was very similar to that of Jiuxuanzong. A wooden plaque hung on the door of the hall, engraved with four Chinese characters with gold hooks and silver strokes—— — Alchemy family.These four characters are vigorous and powerful, and it can be seen at a glance that the cultivation level of the person who carved these four characters is not low, at least reaching the realm of the alchemy stage.

The two walked another few tens of feet, and when they were about to reach the gate of the main hall, Lu Yang suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute."

Chen Xiaowan showed a puzzled look on her face, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are the members of the Chen family united?" Lu Yang asked something that Chen Xiaowan couldn't figure out.

Although Chen Xiaowan didn't know the meaning of Lu Yang's words, she still said: "No matter what kind of sect or family it is, it is impossible to be united. People are selfish, and they will do anything for their own interests. The same is true for the Chen family. It seems that everyone listens to my father, but I know that many elders are secretly dissatisfied and want to overthrow my father and elect a new patriarch."

Lu Yang seemed to have known this kind of result a long time ago. When he was in the Lu Mansion, he saw too many intrigues.As Chen Xiaowan said, people are selfish. Of course, people's desires are endless. Some people will do one thing at all costs to achieve a certain purpose, even if it is something that both humans and gods hate.

Lu Yang frowned, then took a deep breath, and said slowly: "You go in first! Then meet your father alone, if he accepts me, go to me again, if he doesn't let me stay Chen family, I don't need to stay here." He said, pointing to a forest outside the basin, "I'll wait for you over there."

Chen Xiaowan is also a smart woman, she knew why Lu Yang did this in a blink of an eye, she didn't try to persuade her, she nodded and said: "You wait for my good news."

In the main hall, a huge "medicine" is carved on the wall in the middle. The character is unimaginably large, more than one foot high.

A large sandalwood chair was placed in front of it, and a middle-aged man was sitting on it.The man looked to be in his 40s, and his appearance was three points similar to Chen Xiaowan's. It could be seen that he was the current head of the Chen family, Chen Kaiyun's father, Chen Kaiyun.He was wearing a yellow robe, and the word "medicine" was also embroidered on the upper right corner of the robe, which was the unique family symbol of the monks of the Chen family.

Chen Kaiyun's cultivation base is not low, he has reached the stage of Dzogchen in the late foundation period, and he seems to be able to break through at any time.

Breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Core Formation Stage is not a simple matter. It may be possible to break through in a day, or it may take a long time.Because this breakthrough can be said to be a huge watershed in cultivating the road. Below the alchemy stage, as long as the spiritual power in the body reaches the bottleneck, and combined with the cultivation method, as long as the spiritual root is not too bad, it can generally break through.

If it is really impossible to break through, swallow a few Foundation Establishment Pills, and you will definitely be able to reach the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment period.

The alchemy stage is different, you need to comprehend the world, if you can't get a little comprehension, even if you have the spirit pill, you still can't break through to the realm of the alchemy stage.What's more, Jieling Pill is a third-grade pill, and it is very difficult to refine it. Even a family of alchemy like the Chen family doesn't have many such pills.

These spirit-forming pills have been kept in the hands of the elders, that is, those who are strong in the pill-forming stage.If you want to obtain the Spirit Formation Pill, you must make a huge contribution to the family, otherwise, you can only take it by yourself after refining the Formation Pill.However, it is very difficult to refine the spirit elixirs, and even the medicinal materials in the elixir formula may not be able to collect all of them.

There are more than a dozen elders of the Chen family sitting cross-legged in the main hall. These elders are all in the Foundation Establishment period, and several of them, like Chen Kaiyun, have also reached the state of Dzogchen in the late Foundation Establishment period.Everyone was sitting on the big chairs, discussing things, most of them were frowning, with heavy thoughts on their minds.

At this time, Chen Kaiyun glanced at the crowd and said: "Everyone, I have already told you about the situation of the Supreme Elder. Do you have the confidence to complete this task?"

Chen Kaiyun's third brother, Chen Kaide, smiled wryly, stood up and cupped his fists and said, "Patriarch, I know that the Supreme Elder needs a lot of spirit formation pills to break through the middle stage of formation, but the rest of the ingredients in the formula of spirit formation pills are very easy to obtain. The elixir with the success rate of the elixir is extremely rare. If there is no elixir, I do not recommend refining the elixir."

One person expressed his opinion, and the others stood up one after another. Chen Kaiming agreed: "Yes, it is not easy for us to grow these medicinal materials. Some medicinal herbs in Jieling Pill have been collected for many years before I can find them. If we let I took out all these medicinal materials, if alchemy fails, won't all these years of hard work be in vain?"

Having said that, Chen Kaiming paused for a moment, and then changed the topic; "I agree with the third brother's suggestion, wait until you get the psychic liquid before refining the Spiritual Formation Pill."

Chen Kaiyun's face sank, he glanced at the two of them with some displeasure, and said: "The Supreme Elder is now in an emergency, but you are thinking about your own private affairs. If the Supreme Elder can't break through this time, his cultivation is likely to stagnate. Don't move forward. With so many medicinal materials in your hands, can't you take some out and let me try it?"

Chen Kaide smiled lightly, and said with some disdain: "Patriarch, have you tried too little in these years? Let me ask you, have you succeeded once? Jieling Pill is a third-grade elixir, which is different from other elixirs. Auxiliary, we can't make it at all. Don't forget, we only have the cultivation base of the foundation stage, and it is a taboo for alchemists to refine elixir by leaps and bounds, so why bother to do something that is impossible?

"Furthermore, aren't the Supreme Elders also born as alchemists? If they want to obtain the spirit-forming pill, we will take the medicinal materials and let them refine it by themselves. If the refining fails, it has nothing to do with us." Chen Kaide I want to sit on the position of patriarch, but now is a good time to move to Chen Kaiyun.

As long as Chen Kaiyun is unable to complete the task assigned by the Supreme Elder, Chen Kaide can use this as an excuse to make Chen Kaiyun give up the position of patriarch.Among the Chen family, Chen Kaide has been buying people's hearts over the years, and many elders are on his side. Once Chen Kaiyun steps aside, he is absolutely sure to become the new patriarch of the Chen family.

Chen Kai was unlucky, glared at Chen Kaide, and said angrily: "Third brother, don't you know that the Supreme Elder is busy with cultivation and hasn't made alchemy for a long time? Even if we give him the medicinal materials, they can't get rid of it in a short time. Refining the Spirit Formation Pill internally. Anyway, the success rate is not high, why can’t we help the Supreme Elders refine the Spirit Formation Pill?”

Chen Kaide waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "If you want to refine it, you can refine it yourself. This has nothing to do with us. If there is nothing else, let's go first, and I have to go back to study Zhuyan Pill!" After speaking, he walked towards the gate of the main hall, and those who were with him also left one after another and followed behind.

Among the more than ten elders, most of them left, and only a few elders took out the medicinal materials needed to refine the spirit pill and handed them to Chen Kaiyun.

Looking at the medicinal materials that could only be refined for three furnaces, Chen Kaiyun smiled wryly, his eyes full of helplessness.

Chen Kaide and others walked out of the hall, just in time to see Chen Xiaowan approaching, Chen Kaide hurriedly asked: "Little niece, aren't you in the Nine Xuanzong? Why are you here?"

"I miss my father, why don't I come back and see him?" Chen Xiaowan didn't like Chen Kaide and others, and these people often framed her father secretly.

Chen Kaide wasn't angry either, he smiled lightly and said, "You really should come back to see him more often, I'm afraid if you don't see him this time, he might be overwhelmed..."

After speaking, Chen Kaide didn't even look at Chen Xiaowan, and led everyone away quickly.

Chen Xiaowan glared at Chen Kaide and the others, and walked towards the main hall with strides. As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw her father walking over with a haggard look.With just one glance, Chen Xiaowan felt that her father was much older than a few years ago, and her temples had turned white, so she blurted out: "Father..."

Chen Kaiyun was thinking about how to complete the task assigned by the Supreme Elder, and he knew that if he could not complete the task this time, the position of patriarch might have come to an end.Chen Kaiyun didn't pay attention to the people walking in front of him. When he heard his daughter's cry, he subconsciously looked up and saw his beloved little daughter appearing in front of the main hall.

"Xiaowan..." Chen Kaiyun was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe his eyes, and rubbed quickly, "Why are you back, why don't you continue to practice in Jiuxuanzong?"

"Father, I miss you." Chen Xiaowan said something against his will. Although he missed his father, if it wasn't for Lu Yang, she would never come back in the next few years.Back then, when she joined the Nine Profound Sect, she had already made up her mind that if she did not reach the foundation establishment stage, she would never return to the family.

As the saying goes, Chen Kaiyun could tell at a glance that the daughter Mo Ruofu didn't come back for him, and said, "Let father guess, are you running out of medicine pills and want to come back and ask father for some?"

"No." Chen Xiaowan replied.

Chen Kaiyun asked again: "Could it be that you were bullied in Jiuxuanzong and don't want to continue practicing there?"

"No."

Chen Kaiyun glanced at his daughter in surprise, and asked in confusion, "You really came back to see your father?"

"No." Chen Xiaowan said it smoothly, and quickly corrected it after finishing speaking, "Yes, the daughter came back to see her father."

"Is it right or not!" Chen Kaiyun laughed, walked up to his daughter, and said, "It doesn't matter if it's right or not. If you want to eat something tonight, I'll ask your mother to make it for you."

Chen Xiaowan likes to eat the dishes made by her mother the most. If she hadn't met Lu Yang, the first thing she would do when she came back would be to eat the dishes made by her mother.But now, Chen Xiaowan was not in the mood to eat. She glanced at the dark room in the hall and said, "Father, I have something to tell you. Can I go to the dark room?"

Chen Kaiyun frowned. He felt that his daughter was different from before, and subconsciously said: "It's mysterious, and there are no outsiders here, why can't we do it here?"

"This matter is very important, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that walls have ears..." Chen Xiaowan thought of Lu Yang when she was talking, and her pretty face turned red when she thought of being with Lu Yang in the future.

Seeing Lu Yang's appearance as a little daughter, as a father, Chen Kaiyun couldn't see the reason. He laughed and said: "My daughter has grown up and has something on her mind, and she doesn't want to let others know." He laughed a few times Finally, he waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go, I want to see which lucky man is chosen by my daughter. I don't know if he can be worthy of my favorite."
