Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

Looking at the cyan token in his hand, there were no words on it, only a dark tower in the center.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Chen Xuanzhou's eyes, and he summoned the incense burner again, holding it in his other hand.

"Ancestor, whether the younger generation can lead the family to success depends entirely on you."

The soft murmurs echoed throughout the empty underground space.

Time was of the essence, so Chen Xuanzhou took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, and without even looking at it, he tilted his head back and swallowed it.

After two loud gurgling sounds, an extremely strong spiritual power immediately erupted from his dantian, but Chen Xuanzhou was still not satisfied.

A lotus flower beneath him supports him, its petals constantly gathering the extremely rich spiritual energy from the surrounding area.

Soon, a spiritual energy vortex three zhang in size enveloped it, even soaking its body.

That was a sign of spiritual energy turning into mist. With so many spiritual eyes, even though the great formation had not yet been activated, the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual eye trees alone was probably comparable to the cave dwelling of the Ancestor of the Hidden Moon Sect.

Building a foundation under such luxurious conditions is not necessarily a good thing.

The internal Foundation Building Pill begins to refine the essence and cleanse the marrow, while the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world infuses the body and forges it. With such an extreme foundation building method, most people would probably die from the chaos of spiritual energy and broken meridians as soon as they begin.

But with time running out and the task at hand, he had no choice but to take a risk.

Who was Chen Xuanzhou? At this moment, his face was calm and composed, without the slightest frown, as if these tortures were nothing to him.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the incense burner stood quietly, his entire spiritual world undisturbed, and his soul as serene as a chicken egg.

The dantian was quickly expanded by more than double, and the water droplet-shaped magical power that had gathered and dispersed at the bottom of the original spiritual energy vortex began to multiply from one to two, and from two to three.

In the blink of an eye, a small pool was formed, and the iron pillar that had stood there had transformed into a stone mountain standing in the center of the pool.

Feeling the surging magical power within his body, Chen Xuanzhou slowly opened his eyes.

"I truly am a peerless genius; this Foundation Establishment bottleneck is utterly insignificant in front of me."

Time was of the essence, and Chen Xuanzhou didn't even have a moment to meditate and regulate his breathing. He immediately summoned the incense burner in his sea of ​​consciousness to his dantian.

The lotus-shaped magical artifact beneath him never stopped flowing, with streams of extremely pure spiritual energy continuing to surge into his body.

Within his dantian, the last remaining incense flame in the incense burner surged into the cyan token.

Along with it came Chen Xuanzhou's magical power, and soon the entire token began to glow with an orange light.

After the incense completely burned out, Chen Xuanzhou's face turned extremely pale, completely lacking the high spirits he had when he first completed his Foundation Establishment.

The lotus-shaped vessel beneath it also landed on the ground, without even retracting its petals.

Chen Xuanzhou sat cross-legged on the lotus seedpod for an unknown amount of time before finally shakily descending from it.

Looking at the token in his hand, which was exactly the same as the one at the beginning, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"This investiture was inhuman; it almost drained me dry."

Although Chen Xuanzhou was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator at this time, he had just forcibly used his body's magical power to assist in refining the token.

This caused tiny cracks to appear in all his meridians. This was only because he was an experienced practitioner of initiation; otherwise, he might have been crippled.

Fortunately, it was all worth it. Although the investiture is not yet complete, we are finally able to control the great formation to some extent.

When Chen Xuanzhou once again arrived at the large pit of the Spirit Eye Jade that he had dug open, carrying the incense burner, the entire ground trembled slightly.

Then things calmed down again, as if nothing had happened.

However, Chen Xuanzhou's face was full of smiles.

Only then did he arrive at the base of the Spirit Eye Tree, and control the incense burner to take away the entire spirit tree, including the pool of pure liquid that had accumulated for countless millennia beneath it.

With this amount, even the legendary Han Laomo back in the day probably never had such wealth.

Only then did Chen Xuanzhou begin collecting the spiritual herbs here. There were so many spiritual herbs, and their medicinal properties were all over a thousand years old. There were also quite a few of the three main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill here.

In the short term, even if he doesn't go to the Chaotic Star Sea, he won't have to worry about lacking Foundation Establishment Pills.

And the other elixirs were enough for him to start his business.

When he was picking the medicinal herbs, he did not collect all the roots, but deliberately left a trace of the root and mixed it with a wisp of the lowest grade of white incense.

While this small amount of incense offering may not be enough to officially confer a divine title upon the elixir, it can certainly ensure its efficacy.

Having collected all the valuable items, Chen Xuanzhou did not touch the nine pieces of Spirit Eye Jade. This Nine Yuan Void-Piercing Array was useful even for those attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

He didn't want to destroy this great formation because of momentary greed.

Although he moved the Spirit Eye Tree, the core of the great formation, the spiritual veins are still there. In addition, the Pinduoduo version of the Dragon-Seeking Compass is subtly sealing this place.

It automatically has a spirit-gathering effect, which can be sustained in the short term, as he gradually improves the Dragon-Seeking Compass and successfully completes the sealing process.

If the Spirit Eye Tree is moved back, the entire secret realm will become Chen's backyard.

Thinking about this vision, Chen Xuanzhou immediately felt full of energy.

In a flash of inspiration, Chen Xuanzhou reappeared in the main hall.

A flying sword flew out of the sword box on his back and slashed down at a corner of the teleportation array. Soon, a three-foot-long crack appeared on the teleportation array.

Only then was he satisfied and left the main hall, by which time the fog had long since lifted.

Chen Xuanzhou hung the token on his waist, flew to the top of the roof, quickly selected a direction by referring to the map, and strode towards it.

They only stopped briefly at a cold pool along the way, where they obtained a few Pure Jade White Lotuses. Then, they did not dare to slow down even for a moment and continued towards the exit of the secret realm.

Although he was inside the underground cave, unable to see the sun and moon, he had even achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation.

However, their control over time is very precise. More than four days have passed, and there are only about eight or nine hours left before the end of the secret realm.

It was such a short time that he didn't even have time to cause trouble for that black dragon.

They sped along without seeing a single person or monster, which reduced a lot of trouble.

He quickly rushed out of the core area and headed straight for the exit of the secret realm.

But as soon as he stepped out of the gate, a giant sword came crashing down on him.

"Another male duck from the Hidden Moon Sect, don't disappoint me!"

Chen Xuanzhou did not stop walking. With two clicks, the sword box on his back sent the two flying swords wriggling in mid-air like snakes before disappearing without a trace.

Chen Xuanzhou then disappeared into the forest. Not long after, two flying swords flew back behind him, and he now held several storage bags and a giant sword.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he erased the marks of the two, glanced at them, and then stored a few of the spiritual herbs into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"With such poor eyesight, what are you doing blocking the way?"
