Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

Chen Xuanzhou did not linger in front of Huanxi Tower for long, but went directly into a general store next to it.

There were quite a few people in the grocery store at the moment, and a chubby boy was directing several teenagers to busy themselves serving customers.

Chen Xuanzhou's gaze fell on the fat man.

Name: Chen Xuannian

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 5

Special talents: Skilled in business, and also possesses a slight talent for spiritual matters.

Exercise: Everlasting Spring Exercise

Seeing the divine soul talent surprised him somewhat; he hadn't expected the fat man to have such a little surprise hidden away.

"Xuan Nian, where are my parents?"

Chen Xuannian, who was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground, only then noticed Chen Xuanzhou standing at the door.

"Xuanzhou, oh, no, clan leader, when did you arrive? Why didn't you send a message back?"

My uncles should be in the Green Vine Courtyard right now; I'll send someone to fetch them."

"No need, I'll go by myself."

After saying that, he turned and left. As for the other members of the Chen clan, Chen Xuanzhou took the opportunity to glance at them and could only say that they were of mediocre talent.

Qing Teng Yuan is not far from Huan Xi Lou, just across the street. Compared to the entrance and the main street, the land here is not as expensive.

Therefore, some large mansions are suitable as temporary residences for certain families.

Although he had never been to Qing Tengyuan's place, the family had been sending him news about family events every three or four months over the years.

Especially after he settled things with his second wife, he or his parents had to make the final decision on some important matters.

He soon stopped in front of a large courtyard, and before he even went inside, he could hear all sorts of playful noises.

"Don't run, you little rascal, if you run again you can forget about eating jade crystal cake."

"Chen Houfang, quickly cast a few illusion spells to amuse them."

"Xiao Qing, come out quickly and clean these guys up..."

The sounds were incessant, causing Chen Xuanzhou to pause slightly as he took his first step, wondering if he should try again at another time.

After merely sensing the nearly empty incense burner, Chen Xuanzhou could only grit his teeth and step inside.

As soon as he stepped inside, an unknown object flew towards him, turning into a handful of fine ash before it even got close and drifting away in the wind.

"Wow!"

Several gasps of surprise rang out from the surrounding area.

Chen Xuanzhou scanned these little brats, and a flood of information instantly rushed into his mind.

However, there was little smile on his face.

Before even entering, he had already scanned the entire Green Vine Courtyard with his divine sense, and including those he was holding in his arms, there were at least a hundred infants.

And the incense burner was indeed powerful, revealing all the spiritual roots and special talents of so many children.

However, only eight of them possessed spiritual roots, with the best spiritual root being a baby girl who had both fire and wood spiritual roots.

If this were any other family, they would probably be overjoyed, but for Chen Xuanzhou, it was still too slow.

However, he didn't show his feelings on his face. Instead, with a slight smile, he walked past the group of children and headed towards the backyard.

The women and ladies who were busy taking care of the children quickly stood up and bowed to Chen Xuanzhou.

At this moment, Chen's mother was talking with a little girl in the yard. When she saw Chen Xuanzhou coming, she immediately led the little girl toward him.

"Xuanzhou, what brings you here? If there's anything you need, just send a message. You should focus on your cultivation right now, so as not to disappoint Master Qiong's high regard."

Chen Xuanzhou did not speak, but only slightly revealed a trace of his aura.

The little girl standing nearby involuntarily took a step back and timidly hid behind Chen's mother.

"This...this...this! Xuanzhou, when did you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"It's only been three months. I just happened to have some things to take care of, so I came back for a visit."

"Okay, okay!"

Ignoring the little girl beside her, Chen's mother grabbed Chen Xuanzhou's hand, her eyes slightly moist.

"Um, where's Father?" Chen Xuanzhou coughed lightly, trying to distract his mother from her excitement, as he looked at the little girl staring at the two of them.

"Houwen, come out quickly! Xuanzhou is back!"

Her voice still carried a slight tremor, and the pitch was raised several notches, quite different from before.

"What happened to Xuanzhou?!"

A figure rushed out of the house, and seeing Chen Xuanzhou looking at him with a slightly helpless expression, he slowed down his pace.

"Madam, why are you so alarmed? Xuanzhou is perfectly fine!"

"The Xuanzhou has completed its foundation building!"

"What?!"

Zhao Yushuang's few words immediately made Chen Houwen, who had just stopped, rush over.

Then it circled around Chen Xuanzhou several times.

"My good child, your years of arduous cultivation have finally laid the foundation for longevity. As your father, I have no regrets in this life."

"What are you saying, Father? You're only in your forties, the perfect time for cultivation. You have to give it your all in Foundation Establishment."

Chen Houwen didn't linger on the topic; what was the point of dreaming of Foundation Establishment when he only had four spiritual roots?

Chen Xuanzhou wasn't just talking; he had already planned out his father's future, as well as his mother's.

Moreover, his father was not a complete failure.

Name: Chen Houwen

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 8

Special talent: Has achieved some success in formations and has the potential to become a master of formations.

Cultivation Technique: Blazing Sun Technique

"Father, is this little girl Xin Ruyin you found? Where is her master?"

Seeing Chen Xuanzhou's gaze fall on her, the little girl clenched her hands tightly.

"Junior Xin Ruyin greets Senior. Master should be overseeing things in the Array Yuan Pavilion right now."

Seeing that Xin Ruyin was somewhat flustered by this unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet was able to express herself so freely, Chen Xuanzhou nodded slightly.

As expected of someone who possesses the body of a dragon's roar, yet still desires to defy fate and cultivate immortality.

After that, Chen Xuanzhou didn't focus too much on the other person, even though he was very attracted to her.

However, he has only just begun his cultivation and is merely a novice at the second level of Qi Refining. He is only eleven years old. How could Chen Xuanzhou be such a beast?

Just as Chen Xuanzhou was about to talk to his parents, his brows twitched slightly, and he led the group to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.

Not long after, several figures appeared outside the courtyard.

"Chen Zhonghe, accompanied by Xuan Heng, has come to pay homage to the patriarch, wishing him a prosperous path to immortality and success in establishing his foundation."

Although the two were anxious, they dared not enter the courtyard rashly, but instead knelt down outside the courtyard.

"Come in!"

A faint sound reached their ears, and they involuntarily stood up.

Chen Zhonghe's eyes narrowed slightly, while Chen Xuanheng beside him was shocked, but also felt a sense of unease.

The two exchanged a glance, but dared not hesitate for a moment, and immediately walked into the courtyard.

Upon seeing Chen Xuanzhou, he immediately bowed again.

"Congratulations to the patriarch on the successful foundation building! The revival of the Chen clan of Xizhou is now within reach!"

"Alright, enough with the flattery. What surprises me is Xuan Heng; he's already at the tenth level of Qi Refining. That's quite impressive."

"I am unworthy of such praise from the patriarch; I am merely fortunate to have received such praise from the patriarch."
