Ascension Through Generations

"Quickly, please come in! I didn't expect someone from the ancestral land to come. I almost neglected our distinguished guest just now, so please forgive me."

"Don't blame those who don't know. Just lead the way."

While they were talking, a guard quickly ran into the building to report the news.

Another guard enthusiastically led Zhao Sheng into Zhao's residence.

A moment later, in a refined and elegant yet grand living room, Zhao Sheng sat behind a jade table with a cup of fragrant spiritual tea in front of him.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. As soon as the tea was poured down his stomach, a warm breath slowly spread from his stomach, making his body feel comfortable.

At this time, a young woman in white clothes walked in from the door. When she saw Zhao Sheng, she was startled for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly an intoxicating aura quietly dissipated.

She smiled sweetly and said: "It turns out that the one sent from the ancestral land this time is a little brother. Which generation are you from? Let me tell my sister."

Zhao Sheng smiled calmly and said: "My generation is not high, I am just a generation named Qing. My father and ancestor gave me the name Qingyang. Then who are you?"

After hearing this, the woman in white immediately suppressed her smile, looked at Zhao Sheng carefully, became a little cautious, and pursed her lips and said: "Zhao Daojing, who is the Taoist generation. He is several generations older than you."

The reason why she specifically emphasized seniority. It was because of some friction between Qionggui Zhao and Xinglong Zhao.

Although the two families are from the same branch, and although the Xinglong Zhao family is far more powerful than the Qionggui Zhao family, the two families have been separated for nearly 800 years, and they are hundreds of millions of miles apart.

Although they have moved around frequently in the past few hundred years, after all, the distance is too far and the infrequent movement inevitably makes them seem alienated. Friction and disputes inevitably arise between them for interests and status.

Zhao Daojing emphasized the difference in seniority in order to seize the opportunity.

The strength of Qionggui Zhao is far inferior to that of Xinglong Zhao, but because of this, it seems that it wants to earn face for itself.

Zhao Sheng understood the other party's thoughts very well.

However, Zhao Daojing hit the iron plate this time.

There is no reason for a mere foundation-building monk to take advantage of Jin Dan.

Zhao Sheng didn't need to speak at all, he just released the restrained golden elixir pressure.

"This is impossible!" Zhao Daojing's face turned pale in shock, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Um? !

When Zhao Sheng saw this situation, the pressure of the golden elixir instantly enveloped the entire living room.

Zhao Daojing woke up from a dream, and immediately bowed and saluted, and said in a trembling voice: "Junior Zhao Daojing, see you, ancestor! I just offended the beauty, I hope that ancestor will forgive you!"

When you reach the Golden Core Realm, your seniority is no longer important.

No matter how senior you are, as long as you see the golden elixir of your clan. Except for immediate family members, everyone else is addressed as ancestor.

"No gift!"

Zhao Sheng waved his hand, and an extremely powerful force emerged, straightening Zhao Daojing's body.

"sit down!"

Hearing the gentle tone of the other party, Zhao Daojing felt relieved and quickly sat down at the bottom of the table with trepidation.

Looking at Zhao Sheng's fair and handsome face, she was extremely shocked.

She had read simple information about Zhao Qingyang in the family newspaper and knew that he was a new generation Qianlong of the Xinglong Zhao family and had the talent of golden elixir.

But she never expected that the other party would reach the third level of foundation building in just a few decades, and even successfully advance to the golden elixir in one fell swoop.

This was simply beyond her imagination.

When she thought again that the other party seemed to be less than a hundred years old, Zhao Daojing suddenly felt in a trance and her expression could not be controlled.

When Zhao Sheng saw that the other party was losing his composure, he didn't try to point it out. Instead, he casually asked about the current situation of the Qionggui Zhao family.

In his last life, he deliberately left a lot of inheritance and property to the branch here.

The Qionggui Zhao family has lived up to his expectations. It has developed smoothly in the past three hundred years. It has continued to build foundations from generation to generation, and the population of the clan has increased year by year.

In the vast Broken Star Sea, people from the Zhao clan have settled on most of the spiritual islands.

However, the development here is far less smooth than that of Xinglong Zhao. Qionggui Zhao's territory is extremely stable and its power is not small. It can be said that it is a famous force in the outer star sea.

However, Qionggui Zhao had already touched the ceiling at this time.

As long as the family does not give birth to a real Jindan person, Qionggui Zhao will always be limited to an island in the outer star sea, and it is impossible to break into the core circle of the inner star sea.

This problem is unsolvable, and Zhao Sheng has no good way to solve it. It can only be said that the Qionggui Zhao family lacks a little luck.

Zhao Daojing answered Zhao Sheng's inquiry respectfully.

After that, she saw that the other party was kind and approachable, so she gradually relaxed.

Taking advantage of the end of a topic, Zhao Daojing asked Zhao Sheng curiously: "Ancestor, you have traveled hundreds of millions of miles to the Broken Star Sea, so you must have something big to do.

Although our clan is weak in strength, we still have plenty of people in our family. If you need anything, just ask. I, Mrs. Qionggui Zhao, will definitely be willing to do my best to help. "

Zhao Sheng smiled freely and said in a clear voice: "I came to Broken Star Sea this time, firstly, to broaden my horizons and travel around the world, and secondly, I have important matters to discuss with your family."

"Oh, what's the big deal? Junior, can you listen to it?" Zhao Daojing's eyes flashed and she asked curiously.

"Haha, don't think too much. I'm here to bring benefits to your family. As for what big thing it is, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Having said this, Zhao Sheng stopped his smile and asked seriously: "Do you know about the catastrophe of the original zombie wave in the sky burial?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Zhao Daojing's face, he hesitated, and replied uncertainly: "I seemed to have heard about this from my colleagues before. But at that time, it was just a casual chat, and I didn't pay any attention to inquire about it."

Zhao Sheng was not surprised at Zhao Daojing's performance.

People tend to only pay attention to things around them, and rarely pay attention to major events happening hundreds of millions of miles away.

The Broken Star Sea and Central Continent are hundreds of millions of miles apart, and the speed of information exchange and diffusion between the two places is very slow.

It would be difficult for a local foundation to pay attention to things hundreds of millions of miles away.

and

"You don't know the inside story of the Sky Burial Plains disaster, so naturally you won't pay attention to such things. But let me tell you something. The war between the two worlds is about to break out in the Sky Burial Plains. Do you understand this time?"

Zhao Daojing was stunned when he heard this, "A war between two worlds?!"

When she came back to her senses, she was so shaken that she couldn't sit still.

For a moment, she was in a mess. Countless doubts came to her mind, and she didn't know what to ask.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Sheng waved his hand and began to patiently tell the inside story.

The nine-star continuum breaks the space-time crack seal in the ghost world and the war between the two worlds begins.

One after another extremely secretive secrets were narrated from Zhao Sheng's mouth. Zhao Daojing's mouth was dry and her heart was in a state of uncertainty.

At the end, Zhao Sheng revealed the ultimate purpose of his trip: "...we need to prepare an escape route for the family in advance."

"Do you understand?" Zhao Sheng looked at Zhao Daojing with a smile and asked meaningfully.

Zhao Daojing avoided his gaze and whispered: "I understand. But the matter is very important, and the family head and clan elders must be informed as soon as possible."

Zhao Sheng said grandly: "You can send a message to them. In a few months, I will go to Qionggui Island in person."

"Ancestor, you..." Zhao Daojing seemed to be at a loss for words, but she soon calmed down and immediately changed her words: "Well, I will send a message back immediately. In addition, there is a specially opened cultivation cave on the top floor of the Qionggui Pavilion, but Think of it as a temporary stay for our ancestors.”

Zhao Sheng nodded and then stood up.

When Zhao Daojing saw this, she immediately stood up and said softly: "Old Ancestor has had a bumpy journey all the way. I think he must be physically and mentally exhausted. Come with me. I will take you to the cave on the top floor."

"Thank you!" Zhao Sheng nodded slightly.

Zhao Daojing bowed solemnly and saluted, but said no more polite words.

As the owner of the Qionggui Pavilion, she is a well-rounded person and has a clear mind.

Zhao Daojing has an excellent grasp of the word "property". If he says more at this moment, he will definitely appear to be unreasonable.

So silence is better than sound at this time.

The top floor of Qionggui Pavilion covers an area of ​​nearly 1,000 square meters. It has a training room, a quiet room, a dojo, a waiting room and other necessary places for the cave.

The interior decoration is simple and unpretentious, but it has a hint of Taoist charm and naturalness. At a glance, you can tell that it was decorated under the guidance of an expert.

Zhao Sheng is very satisfied with this place.

After Zhao Daojing said goodbye and left, he immediately walked into the quiet room and began to meditate to restore his lost mind.

Since then, Zhao Sheng has lived in Qionggui Pavilion.

In the next half month, he traveled around Star City one after another, reacquainting himself with the customs and customs of Broken Star Sea while looking around to buy various treasures and elixirs.

After half a month, he had gained a lot, and he had successfully "picked up" two Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruits alone.

…

More than half a month later,

Zhao Daojing was wearing a navy blue skirt and a jade necklace. She kept wandering outside the cave on the top floor, looking slightly hesitant and hesitant.

At this time, a faint fragrance of red pepper suddenly came from the crack in the door and rushed to her nose.

Smelling the fragrance of the pill, Zhao Daojing's expression changed and she murmured to herself: "This is the Foundation Building Pill!"

"No, there are other elixirs."

Zhao Daojing twitched her nose and carefully discerned the aromas in the air, her expression becoming more and more shocked.

"How is that possible! There is actually the fragrance of Yunshen Dan and Shengsheng Dan in it?"

Zhao Daojing strongly suspected that there was something wrong with her sense of smell.

But she is also a quasi-second-level alchemist after all, and it is almost impossible to mishear these three famous elixirs.

Just when she was so shocked that she doubted herself, a voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Since you are here, come in!"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the cave suddenly and silently opened automatically.

Zhao Daojing felt a powerful spiritual consciousness dissipate rapidly around her.

She first bowed and saluted, then stepped into the cave.

Smelling the fragrance of alchemy in the air, she walked to the alchemy room on the far left side of the cave.

At this time, the fragrance of elixirs pouring out of the alchemy room became stronger and stronger, and Zhao Daojing was sure that her guess was correct.

There really is someone in this world who can refine three different elixirs at the same time.

And it’s almost successful!

She was extremely shocked, thinking this in her heart, but saw that the door of the alchemy room opened without any wind.

"I still have some skills, so come in by yourself!"

Zhao Daojing heard the sound coming from the door and hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't restrain her curiosity and stepped in.

As soon as she entered the door, she instantly felt that the air in the room was extremely hot and her vision was slightly distorted.

Deep in the room, a sun seemed to rise.

No, she actually saw the "sun".

At this moment, not far in front of her, a huge fireball with a diameter of three feet and as round as a chicken was quietly suspended in the air, releasing infinite light and heat.

In the center of the "sun" sits a tall and tall figure with his back to her.

And through the dim and shining sun, Zhao Daojing saw three ancient and simple alchemy furnaces with bright auras, each wrapped in a ball of real fire.

At this moment, wisps of red mist and fragrant clouds emerged from the top of the alchemy furnace.

Bang bang bang!

"Come out!"

At this moment, the tops of the three alchemy furnaces flew up in response, and eight or nine fragrant red, white, or green elixirs flew out from the three furnace mouths.

Then, the elixir snuck into the three elixir bottles placed on the ground like a living creature.

Zhao Sheng skillfully marked the three pill bottles with pill seals.

Then he stood up.

With a flash of thought, the Golden Crow True Fire suddenly merged together, and then turned into a ray of fire, flying into the dantian of the abdomen again.

Zhao Sheng secretly gathered his true energy, and the golden elixir vision "sun" slowly disappeared, but the air was still full of scorching heat.

Turning around, looking at Zhao Daojing with a look of shock and awe on his face, Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and the pill bottle containing Yun Shen Dan suddenly flew up from the ground and quickly landed in Zhao Daojing's hand.

"Well, whoever sees it has a share! I'll reward you with this bottle of Yun Shen Dan." Zhao Sheng picked up the other two bottles of elixir and said with a gentle smile.

Zhao Daojing heard that the other party's words seemed to indicate that she could not refuse, so she did not refuse and directly put away the bottle of second-level Shen Shen Dan.

Zhao Sheng nodded secretly when he saw this, and then asked: "I just saw you wandering around outside the door. Do you want to see me for something?"

Zhao Daojing said quickly: "Old Ancestor, this junior does have something to ask for."

"What is it? Tell me."

"Report to ancestor..."

After Zhao Daojing finished telling the story, Chu Chu looked at him pitifully.

Zhao Sheng smiled and said: "So you asked me to support the scene. It's a trivial matter! I just want to see the high-end trade fair in Star City. When will it start?"

"Two days later, Xiaoyao Pavilion!"

…

Two days flew by.

In front of a majestic and majestic tall building with carved railings and jade walls, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Daojing fell from the sky and landed on the steps in front of the building.

At this time, a graceful and elegant mature woman with a floor-length skirt took the initiative to walk down the steps and greeted Zhao Daojing with a spring breeze on her face: "Sister Jing is here. We sisters have not seen each other for a long time. Your skin is still so tender and smooth. , I’m going to ask you for advice on how to take care of your skin later.”

Zhao Daojing responded to the other party with the same enthusiasm and politeness: "Sister Zhuang is teasing my sister again. How can I catch your eyes with my little beauty secrets?

By the way, let me introduce it to you. This is a member of my family, from Xinglongyuan in Zhongzhou. "

Having said this, she smiled and turned slightly to let Zhao Sheng behind.

"Oh, it turns out we are a guest from Zhongzhou. Since it was brought by Sister Jing, please come in."

With that said, Zhuang Ye turned sideways to make way for a passage.

"Sisters, please go in first! I'll talk to you later. I hope you can gain something from this visit." Zhuang Ye secretly glanced at Zhao Sheng, who was looking calm, and quickly recalled the information about the Xinglong Zhao family in his mind.

Xiaoyao Pavilion is a property of Star God Palace and has a special status in Star City. It can be regarded as a high-end auction and trading house.

So even though Zhuang Ye is only the supervisor of Xiaoyao Palace, she is actually a disciple of Star God Palace and has the cultivation level of mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

However, with her ability to read all living beings and the secret skills of the Star God Palace, she could not see through the other party's depth.

This person stood there like a deep mountain, unfathomable.

Looking at Zhao Sheng's disappearing back, Zhuang Ye's eyes flickered a few times and he secretly remembered this person's appearance in his heart.
