Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 96 The Wu Family's Patience, Returning to Phoenix Forest Valley

"Brother Chen, how many spirit stones does this spirit shuttle cost? It looks so high-end." Although Yan Ran knew she couldn't afford it, she was still very interested in the price.

"I don't know either," Chen Qian shrugged. "You'll have to ask Wu Songde."

"Ah!" Yan Fei then realized that this Spirit Shuttle was actually a trophy.

No wonder so many people want to become thieves. Earning spirit stones through hard work is nowhere near as fast as just robbing them!

Chen Qian immersed his divine sense into the spirit mirror at the control core of the spirit shuttle, and continuously poured in his magical power, which quickly washed away Wu Songde's remaining aura and allowed him to completely take control of the spirit shuttle.

Wu Songde had already placed hundreds of spirit stones in the spirit storage box below the control core, so there was no need to replenish them in the short term.

"Let's go!" Chen Qian urged his divine sense into the spirit mirror, and the spirit shuttle trembled and slowly rose into the air.

As the blue light surged from the air vents on both sides of the shuttle, the three tail fins hummed like the flapping of butterfly wings, and the entire shuttle transformed into a streak of blue light that streaked across the sky, leaving only a fleeting rainbow afterimage.

........................

Jinshi Cliff, the summit of Jinhua Peak.

"Bah!"

A beautifully carved porcelain vase was smashed against the wall and shattered into pieces.

On the opposite side of the wall were a pair of blood-red eyes, gleaming with disbelief.

The owner of these eyes is none other than Wu Yiqian, the Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Wu family.

With the initial control of the "Soul Observation and Breath Detection Mirror", Wu Yiqian had just sensed the dissipation of Wu Songde's aura.

He simply couldn't understand how Wu Songde, a cautious and prudent man, could have been so unlucky as to fail in his attempt to kill a mid-stage Qi Refining member of the Chen family with the help of the Spirit-Seeking Talisman, and die a violent death.

To prevent Chen Laogui from seeing them directly, they even hired a strange cultivator from a Qi Refining family to stake out outside Phoenix Forest Valley. Only when everything was absolutely certain would Wu Songde make a move.

Even if the situation turns bad, with Wu Songde's cultivation level and his Xuanxiao Spirit Shuttle, he would be able to escape with his life and return to his family.

"I'm so angry!" Wu Yiqian couldn't understand it at all.

He could foresee that there was a high chance that Wu Songde would return empty-handed, since as long as that little thief from the Chen family didn't leave Fenglin Valley, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

With Wu Songde's death, the Wu family lost more than just a peak Qi Refining expert; it also eliminated their chances of producing a second Foundation Establishment cultivator in the near future.

Wu Yiqian was even a little impatient and wanted to personally catch that little thief from the Chen family, torture him severely, and get to the bottom of things.

He took a long breath and, after several dozen breaths of adjustment, gradually calmed his explosive temper.

This world is too dangerous. As a cultivation family at the middle or lower level, they really don't have the luxury of being willful.

With a flick of his wrist, a stone shimmering with silver light and faint starlight appeared in his palm.

Wu Yiqian gently stroked the stone, as if she were treating a beloved lover.

This is a piece of Celestial Mystic Gold, a third-tier gold-type spiritual material, containing immense gold-type energy and rules.

His cultivation had already reached the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, but he was unable to advance to the middle stage because he could not find a suitable third-tier metal-type spiritual material.

The foundation building process has four stages, each stage representing a new level of understanding.

Upon advancing from the initial to the middle stage, not only do one's magical power and spiritual awareness increase significantly, but one's lifespan also increases by thirty years.

Invited by Lu Zhengting, he ambushed Chen Ruiang at Bijia Mountain. The condition that moved Chen Ruiang was that Lu Zhengting was willing to trade this Heavenly Vault Mystic Gold to him.

Once this Xuanjin is refined and its essence is absorbed into the dantian, the second layer of the Dao Foundation will be established, and one will naturally advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, greatly increasing one's supernatural powers.

"No matter what happens, we'll settle things after we successfully advance!" Wu Yi tossed the Heavenly Vault Profound Gold into his dantian, continuously pouring in his magical power to refine it.

........................

The sky is clear and clear, cloudless.

A dark blue shuttle swiftly streaked across the sky.

On the shuttle, Chen Qian and his sister Yan Ran stood together on the deck, looking down at the earth. "This shuttle flies so fast!" Yan Fei exclaimed.

This was the first time the brother and sister had ridden in a flying magical artifact, so they naturally found it extremely novel and a completely new experience.

The mountains, rivers, valleys, and forests of all sizes on the earth are like a beautiful painting, which you can never tire of looking at.

Chen Qian shook his head, a faint smile on his face, and did not reply.

The speed of this Xuanxiao Spirit Shuttle is about seven or eight hundred miles per hour.

It is comparable to the speed at which a Qi Refining Peak cultivator flies on a sword.

Of course, in an emergency, cultivators can accelerate the burning of spirit stones and input their mana to fully urge the speed, which can be greatly increased.

To be honest, this speed isn't particularly impressive; it's not even comparable to Earth's jet aircraft.

However, due to the low altitude of the flight, the view of the vast land below is naturally much more spectacular.

Qingyan Mountain is about four or five hundred miles away from Fenglin Valley. In less than an hour, the spirit shuttle landed at the entrance of Fenglin Valley.

After putting away the Xuanxiao Spirit Shuttle, Chen Qian led Yan Ran and the other two to the entrance of the Li Huo Feng Ming Grand Array.

The entrance to the valley is usually guarded by three members of the Chen family. Today, one of the three is Chen Yunshen, a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, who was a participant in the battle at Bijia Mountain more than two months ago.

He had witnessed Chen Qian's astonishing performance of charging into the Lu family's battle formation multiple times and killing several people. He greatly admired this fellow clansman who was a few years younger than him.

Upon seeing Chen Qian and the other two arrive, he quickly opened the entrance to the great formation, smiling as he greeted them with a cupped-hand salute, saying, "Brother Qian, where have you come from?"

"It's Brother Yun Shen." Chen Qian smiled and returned the greeting with a cupped hand. "Just returned from Fenglin City. Are you on duty today?"

The two had fought side by side before, and their relationship was already quite familiar.

"Ah, Uncle Hongyuan from the charity just rushed back to the valley not long ago." Chen Yunshen asked with some doubt, "You arrived one after the other, why didn't you come together?"

"Oh! Uncle Qi is back too." Chen Qian knew that he must have packed up and returned to the valley to go into seclusion, preparing to break through to the later stage.

"I had some things to do on my own, so I didn't go with Uncle Qi."

"Oh, I see. And who are these two?" Chen Yun Shen was just making a casual remark, naturally not wanting to pry. Upon seeing the unfamiliar faces following behind Chen Qian, he immediately changed the subject and asked.

"These two are Yan Fei and Yan Ran, a brother and sister. They are both outstanding young talents, and I plan to invite them to serve as guest advisors to the family."

"Welcome, fellow Daoists." Upon hearing this, Chen Yunshen quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

He saw that although Yan Ran and the other two were young, they had a composed demeanor and their cultivation was no weaker than his, so he naturally treated them with kindness and politeness.

Yanran and the other person quickly returned the greeting and expressed their gratitude.

On the spirit shuttle, Chen Qian explained that even if the two of them became guest elders of the Chen family, it would not affect their ability to join the Beast Taming Sect. On the contrary, they would receive some assistance from the Chen family, so there was no need to worry too much.

Based on their trust in Chen Qian, the two eventually agreed to the proposal to serve as guest advisors, which naturally resulted in a happy ending for everyone.

After bidding farewell to Chen Yunshen, Chen Qian led the two to Fengming Residence.

Before long, Chen Hongming rushed over upon hearing the news.

Chen Qian introduced the two men to his father-in-law. After a lively exchange of pleasantries and greetings, Chen Hongming immediately decided to formally recruit them as guest retainers of the Chen family and issued them guest retainer tokens.

At this point, the benefits of being able to serve as a guest advisor to the Chen family become apparent.

The reason is that the annual Beast Taming Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony is held in the autumn, and now that time has passed, the two who wanted to join the Beast Taming Sect can only wait until next year.

However, the Beast Taming Sect allocates a certain number of recommendation slots to the various cultivation families under its jurisdiction every year. Since no one from the Chen family has joined the sect this year, the two siblings can be recommended. Although an assessment is still required, it is just a formality.

After all, once you enter a sect, you still need to rely on your own efforts and aptitude to stand out.

Yanran and his sister were naturally delighted to hear about this convenience and thanked him repeatedly, feeling a sense of belonging to the Chen family.
