Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 306 Yuan Jin Exits
"Hey hey hey! Are you distracted again?! I'm talking to you!" The head of Kangda glared at Zhou Yixiu in dissatisfaction. Seeing the latter's absent-minded appearance, he thought in annoyance:
"That young widow of the Shan family is so powerful that she almost seduced Junior Brother Kang's soul away. If I had known that Junior Brother Zhou was a romantic, I should have chosen a virgin girl. I don't think she would be so good at seducing people."

"I beg you to forgive me, Master Brother!" Zhou Yixiu felt ashamed after being yelled at, and he immediately bowed and admitted his mistake.

"Are you singing an opera?! Speak to me properly!" Kang Dabao yelled, and it took a while for Zhou Yixiu to come back to his senses. The former was still not satisfied, and he pointed at her and cursed again:

"I have already told you that this glass tree is related to the future of future generations and is a top priority for our sect. I went through so much trouble to obtain the Buddha's planting method, but you refused to listen and are still so depressed?!

Do you want me to call Junior Brother Pei out of seclusion to let me see you and see if you have been bewitched by Shan Xuerong?"

Zhou Yixiu just smiled bitterly after hearing this. He knew he was wrong, so he couldn't say anything harsh. He could only continue to admit his mistake: "Master, please stop joking. I know I'm wrong. I will take the jade slip and go back to study."

"Please wait a bit. Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid that even if you learn the method of planting Buddha's seeds, you will go astray." Sect Leader Kang shook his head repeatedly, but Zhou Yixiu took the opportunity to say, "Thank you for your consideration, Sect Leader."

"I'll ask the Shan family to send Shan Xuerong back. You can rest assured, right?"

The words of the head of Kangda did not make Zhou Yixiu happy. Instead, the bitter smile on the old cultivator's face became even more intense. There was some loneliness in his tone:
"It's hard to say. I won't hide it from you, Senior Brother. I don't know what happened. He has so many concubines at home, and he is already half buried in the ground. Why did Xue Rong control him to this extent? I can't figure it out myself."

Kang Dabao got even angrier after hearing this and shouted directly, "I don't care. I will send a letter first and ask Shan Sheng to send the person back within ten days. If he can't bear to see the person come back by then, the two families will be divorced.

Shan Sheng should worry about his own affairs after his death. He is still dreaming of buying spiritual objects for foundation building on credit! I don’t care whether his Shan family is destroyed or prosperous in the future. What kind of person is this? She is just a widow who married a son-in-law. She really thinks she is a royal family! "

Zhou Yixiu was speechless. Kang Dabao was not used to seeing him like this, so he asked sternly, "Where's the little burden?"

"Shan Wei is currently being trained by Le'er. He has good aptitude and is a three-spiritual root. Junior brother asked Senior Brother Pei to select a Hong-level technique for Shan Wei, called..." Zhou Yixiu seemed to be instantly alert, but was stopped by the head of the Kang family just as he was about to speak:
"Okay, you asked Junior Brother Pei to choose a method, and you also want to become the second brother's disciple. You worked hard to save up the spiritual stones and good deeds, so I think you should leave some for Xinran, right?

Shan Xuerong is relaxed. She stayed at her mother's house, but you asked her to bring her son back home to raise him. You must be dreaming of living in a comfortable environment. Don't you have a smarter mind? Even if you give your heart and soul to someone else's son, how can you raise him well? "

"Hey, that's right, senior brother." Zhou Yixiu nodded quickly. Kang Dabao couldn't tell whether he heard it or not. He just felt angry after seeing it. He didn't want to scold him anymore and waved his hand to let him leave the room.

Then he sent a talisman to the outside of Yuan Jin's courtyard, ordering him to come find him immediately after he came out of seclusion. This time, he brought back more than just the Buddha Planting Method that he had asked for from Chu Yanran.

————Two days later, Feiyue Valley, Shan Family

Shan Sheng, the head of the Shan family, frowned, holding Kang Dabao's sharply worded letter in his hand. He sat alone for a long time in silence.

Shan Xuerong was nothing, just a legitimate daughter. As long as she wanted to give birth and was willing to work hard, she would be able to do so. But the missing son-in-law came back, and brought his long-lost great-grandfather with him. This was a bit embarrassing.

The reason for the difficulty was not the embarrassing situation caused by a woman marrying two husbands. Even small families like the Kuai family often did this and it was very common.

What was really difficult was that the son-in-law's great-grandfather was a late-stage foundation-building cultivator with good skills. The son-in-law returned home in wealth and honor just to ask the Shan family for his wife and children and his original surname.

But Shan Xuerong is a person who doesn't know the big picture. She is determined to go with the son-in-law. It's really troublesome!

"If I had known earlier, I would have let him go back with Zhou Yixiu no matter what. He stayed here for a few days and ended up causing such trouble." Shan Sheng muttered, looking embarrassed.

It is not easy to offend Chongming Sect, but is it easy to offend a casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation building? Not to mention that Shan Sheng is now seriously injured and his strength is not at its peak. Even when he was not at his peak, he did not want to offend this kind of cultivator.

Even though the means of the Foundation Establishment cultivators are generally slightly inferior to those of the cultivators from families or sects, and they basically have no disciples or descendants to help them, on the other hand, they are also free of worries and alone.

Unless it can be killed with a slap, the Shan family will be in trouble in the future if they offend such an existence.

Although Shan Sheng took the longevity pill made from the Qionglong grass, he only had less than three years left to live, which was far from long for a foundation-building cultivator.

For this reason, he even resigned from the job of guarding the spirit stone mines for the New Cloud Alliance, and planned to stay in the clan for the next few years, nurturing future generations and taking care of household affairs.

Since the Shan family had no foundation to guard the spirit stone mine, every year thereafter, the Shan family could only receive half of the spirit stones agreed upon by the alliance, which was a huge loss.

But Shan Sheng had no time to take care of these things now. A new foundation-building seed of the Shan family, the grandson whom the Shan family had the most hope for, could not bear to see the clan affairs being manipulated by outsiders, so he made up his mind. He took only the "Reed Flower Pill" and took the risk to break through the barrier, and died.

This foundation-building thing was inherently dangerous, and although Shan Sheng was heartbroken, he could understand it. However, he completely gave up the idea and sternly stopped the remaining foundation-building seeds from breaking through.

The Shan family was able to accumulate some wealth thanks to the hard-working members of the clan in the past few years.

If it were an ordinary family, like the Feiyue Shan family, who had lost three foundation-building seeds in a row, they would probably soon fall into an awkward situation of a lack of successors. How could they continue to have the opportunity to worry about the foundation-building of their younger generations like Shan Sheng?

But Shan Sheng was also clear that if this foundation-building spiritual object was not quickly exchanged back from the hands of the Chongming Sect, and the Feiyue Shan family could not produce a foundation-building person within three years, not to mention the external enemies and the Shujian Sect, their ally with ulterior motives, even the small Qi-cultivating clans below would be difficult to suppress.

Then the Shan family would really be caught in an embarrassing situation of being in a precarious situation and being bullied by others.

"When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one," Shan Sheng gritted his teeth and made a decision instantly.

"Someone come here." Shan Sheng called out with a straight face, and a sturdy servant immediately came up and said, "What do you want, clan leader?!"

"Where is Shan Xuerong?"

"Nineteenth Lady is being lectured by the Second Wife."

"Call her over. I will take her to Chongming Sect to apologize. This time I need to explain everything to her clearly. If she dares to come back secretly in the future, I will beat her to death at the foot of Xiaohuan Mountain!"

———— Chongmingzong
Yuan Jin sat alone in the quiet room, with cold sweat on his forehead, a dark face, and his eyes closed.

He could only hear him mumbling the order, and a cloud of black air rose from his meridians, and as the meridians circulated, it quickly spread to all parts of his body. Soon, Yuan Jin was sweating profusely and his veins were popping out.

The expression on Guoyi's face kept changing, sometimes red like a jujube, sometimes black like thick ink.

I don't know how long it took, but when he opened his eyes, there was no longer any black or white in his eyes, they were all red.

"Om!" A Buddhist chant suddenly rang out in the quiet room where one could hear a pin drop. Yuan Jin closed his eyes again and felt his burning skin gradually cooling down and calming down. The violent feeling that was running around in his body and trying to tear him into pieces also slowly faded away.

A puff of white steam was exhaled, the smoke dissipated, and black stars fell down.

Yuan Jin let out a long breath and chanted Buddha's name in a low voice, but there was not much relief on his face. He just frowned again, as if he was recalling the mistakes he had made in his previous practice.

"Well, this is the third time. If it weren't for the effect of the meditation spell that my senior brother found for me, I would have really failed this time." Yuan Jin's face became more serious when he read this. It was not because he was afraid, but because he felt that the shortcomings of the "White Ape Sutra" were not as simple as he thought.

Yuan Jin murmured, "If I had told my senior brother all about this, he would have told me to give up my power and start over. But it's not that easy. I'm already over 40 years old, and my four spiritual roots are not good enough to make me immortal.

After going through so many thorns all the way here, how can it be easy to start all over again? The resources needed to rebuild are not a small amount. Senior Brother and Xiao Sanzi are both loyal and righteous. In the end, I will be a burden to them."

Yuan Jin didn't want to do this. Even when the three brothers were relying on each other for survival, it was he, Chongming Yuan Er, who relied on his fists to accompany his brother the head master and overcome all difficulties.

It is true that he is delighted that the eldest brother and the third brother have successively established their foundations, but this does not mean that Yuan Jin will be willing to fall behind.

As a disciple of the old master and the next master chosen by Kang Dabao himself, Yuan Jin is naturally quite proud and would never be willing to be a burden to his senior and junior brothers.

Another thing is that "The White Ape Sutra" was once the signature book of the Chongming Sect, and all the ancestors of the past dynasties praised it highly. However, there was no other way but to regret the shortcomings contained in it.

Yuan Jin, with his mere Qigong body, spent ten to twenty years of painstaking effort and finally sorted out most of the shortcomings. Only some minor details were left, and he was almost perfect.

This level of attainment is an achievement that no one could have achieved even if all the ancestors and predecessors since the founding of the Chongming Sect over the past two hundred years were listed.

Having already achieved this, he really couldn't understand why Yuan Jin was still asked to give up.

Even with the temperament of Master Kang, after he learned the truth, he would most likely seal the "White Ape Sutra" into a warehouse and forbid people from practicing it. This was something Yuan Jin could never accept.

At this time, his eyes had returned to black and white, and the red light had dissipated. However, because of the remaining burning sensation, he was still shedding a few tears.

Yuan Jin didn't care, he rubbed his red eyes with the back of his hand, thinking secretly: "Compared to the first time I was with my senior brother, the danger of this time's possession of the devil has been reduced by one level.

It seems that chanting the meditation mantra all the year round has miraculous effects. I just need to polish it for a few more years, fully understand the true meaning of the White Ape Sutra, and finally combine it with the foundation-building pill and the Wushan Qigong Method. It shouldn't be difficult to build a foundation."

After Yuan Jin thought of a lot of words to comfort himself, his heart seemed to be more resolute. He waved his hand to remove the restriction and took a talisman.

"Brother, are you back? You called me over." Yuan Jin took the talisman and summoned water vapor. After cleansing the impurities and dirt on his body, he pushed open the door and was about to go to the headmaster's courtyard, but he saw the eldest son Changsheng and the second son Ruyi playing chess in the courtyard.

Yuan Jin was quite pleased to see this scene of brotherly love and respect, and couldn't help but ask, "Erlang is here? How come you have so much free time now?"

After all, playing chess in Chongming Sect is not necessarily a good thing, and the elders do not have much support.

Yuan Ruyi is already sixteen years old this year. He holds the position of deputy city lord in Chongming City and enjoys wealth and glory.

He knew that this was the grace his father and brother had begged for him from the uncle who was the head of the sect. Therefore, even though he had no spiritual roots and had not attained immortality, his feelings towards his father and brother had not diminished in the slightest.

In recent years, Yuan Jin has either been serving in the sect in military affairs or staying at home and practicing Buddhism, so Yuan Ruyi has not seen his father for a long time.

Seeing Yuan Jin coming out of seclusion, after his elder brother greeted him, Yuan Ruyi was also overjoyed and shouted happily: "My child asks if daddy is well."

"Hey, you are all going to set up your own household and become husbands. Stop acting like children." Yuan Jin smiled when he saw his two sons, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Yuan Jin couldn't help feeling a little guilty because his spiritual roots were given by his parents.

After hearing what his father said, Yuan Ruyi's simple and honest face was even more joyful: "So father also knows about this. I thought you were too busy with the sect's affairs to care about these things."

Yuan Jin laughed for a while: "Haha, how could that be? Hasn't the wedding date been set? By then, Chongming City will be full of red clothes, celebrating my son's marriage to a wife and four concubines.

Your two mothers have been talking to me about this for a long time, saying that even the eldest brother has given many instructions to the people in Chongming City. I'm afraid it will be a lively day when my son gets married."

"Child." Yuan Ruyi was, after all, just an honest child who was influenced by the strict family tradition. Seeing his father and brothers staring at him with evil smiles, he felt ashamed and happy at the same time, and a blush appeared on his face.

"Haha, on the day of my brother's wedding, I will definitely call all my fellow disciples to come and celebrate." Yuan Changsheng took advantage of Yuan Ruyi's embarrassment and secretly used his finger gestures to move a chess piece.

The newly promoted first-level alchemist of Chongming Sect thought to himself: "It's all Master's fault for not teaching me how to play chess. If I lose to Erlang, won't I be humiliated?!"

Yuan Jin saw this scene very clearly. He glared at his eldest son who was playing tricks on his brothers, and then said, "Erlang, stay a little longer. Your uncle, the head of the sect, has called me for something. You guys go ahead and play first. After we finish our business, we'll send someone to bring you back to the head of the sect's courtyard for dinner."

Yuan Changsheng responded casually, "I understand, father. I'll bring Erlang over when it's time for dinner."

"Dad, take care. Hey, brother, is this chess?"

Yuan Jin listened to the two boys' laughter gradually fading away, and the smile on his face slowly faded again.

"Changsheng's aptitude is much worse than mine. After years of practice, he has only reached the fourth level of Qi training, and his progress is getting slower and slower. Even if he has enough resources, I don't know when he can advance to the late stage of Qi training, let alone build a foundation.

As for alchemy, according to what Senior Brother Pei said, Changsheng's talent is also limited. He is by no means a genius. It would be good enough if he could become a mid-level alchemist in his lifetime.

As for Ruyi, he can only wait for wealth and be an idle person. Alas, even for the sake of future generations, I can't delay the foundation-building work. They have no hope of becoming immortals, but if they have a father who has built a foundation, they will be superior to others both internally and externally. "

Yuan Jin, who had always been extremely resolute, sighed, held the talisman from Sect Leader Kang, and entered the courtyard.

At this time, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other at a stone table in the courtyard, each holding a black and white, and remaining silent.
