Ascension Through Generations

In Hehe Courtyard, after Zhao Sheng patiently comforted him, he sent Zhao Xiaoqi away who came to inquire about the news.

After sending Zhao Xiaoqi away, he shook his head with a wry smile on his face and thought to himself, "The mastermind behind the scenes is really working hard, and he even used the means to spread rumors among mortals. It seems that the Zhao family will not be tortured to death." Don’t give up.”

By this time, Zhao Sheng had already vaguely guessed who was behind all this, and it was most likely that old fox Wei Chengwo.

Only he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

The reason why Wei Chengwo wants to force the Zhao family to death is not only for the Zhao family's immortal cultivators, but more importantly for the 50,000 mortal relatives of the Zhao family.

Don't think that mortal relatives are unimportant to an immortal cultivating family.

On the contrary, it is the most important foundation of any cultivating family.

Taking the Zhao family as an example, among the thirty-one immortal cultivators in the Zhao family, more than ten are from secular families.

When the Wei family annexes the 50,000 relatives of the Zhao family, the number of new immortal cultivators in their family will inevitably increase greatly.

In the world of cultivating immortals, a considerable number of cultivating families achieve a leap in family strength by constantly assimilating their mortal relatives from other families.

Zhao Sheng also guessed that maybe not only he had guessed it, but even several shrewd elders in the family had a rough idea.

But so what!

Wei Chengwo's move was clearly out of fear, and the plot he used was more like a conspiracy.

Who made the Zhao family reveal such a big flaw when they failed to live up to their expectations?

In this regard, Zhao Sheng had no good solution and could only resort to tricks.

The key to this matter lies in whether the two clan elders can successfully build the foundation.

It’s done, everyone has a bright future.

You can only make plans if you can't succeed!

…

The sun is scorching, July is burning, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhao Sheng was concentrating on drawing the invisibility talisman in the talisman-making room.

After a moment, as the surface of the talisman paper glowed with light, the complicated and gorgeous talisman shapes disappeared, and an invisibility talisman took shape.

Zhao Chongwei on the side saw that Zhao Sheng succeeded again, and couldn't help but throw down the talisman pen in frustration, and complained to Zhao Sheng: "Chonghe, why is the invisibility talisman so difficult! I have failed more than ten times today."

After hearing this, Zhao Sheng walked up to her and picked up a broken talisman from the table. After looking at it for a while, he said: "Xiaowei, your brushwork and talisman shapes are correct, and the spiritual orifice nodes are complete. The reason why you have so many times The failure was due to the uneven distribution of spiritual energy between the runes, resulting in poor connection of the nodes."

Zhao Chongwei took the talisman and looked at it for a while, then said in frustration: "I have tried my best to control it, but the invisibility talisman is too complicated. I spend all my energy on its talisman and spiritual orifice, and I really can't care about other places. Not everyone is like that. You are so perverted!"

Zhao Sheng was speechless. It's all my fault!

In the end, he could only comfort him: "Don't rush, take your time. Practice makes perfect. With your current progress, it will only take three months at most."

Zhao Chongwei couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said disgustedly: "Are you laughing at me for being stupid?"

Zhao Sheng's face stiffened when he heard this, and he quickly apologized: "Sister-in-law, you are a genius girl in the family. You have already reached the third level of Qi refining at the age of seventeen. How can I, a rookie at the second level of Qi refining, dare to laugh at you."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Chongwei's depression eased slightly, but she still sighed: "What's the use of the third level of Qi refining? It can't help the family at all. I don't know when the clan elders will come out of seclusion?"

Zhao Sheng's expression was gloomy and he comforted her: "Don't worry, the two clan elders will definitely succeed!"

After hearing this, Zhao Chongwei clasped her hands together, lowered her head and closed her eyes, praying devoutly: "Ancestor, please bless our Zhao family to have another foundation-building monk!"

After saying that, she elbowed Zhao Sheng and urged: "Chong He, pray with me quickly."

Zhao Sheng was speechless.

Who says immortal cultivators are not superstitious? In fact, they are already superstitious.

Just like Zhao Keru, the alchemist of the Zhao family, every time he starts to make alchemy, he has to bathe, change clothes, burn incense and pray, with great grandeur.

Not only him, but most of the weapon refiners, alchemists, and array masters in the world of immortality have similar worship habits. Some worship heaven and earth, some worship our Taoist sages, and some worship their own ancestors.

Seeing that Zhao Sheng was not moving, Zhao Chongwei urged again: "Hurry up!"

Zhao Sheng touched his nose and had no choice but to say a few words of blessing from his ancestors.

Because of his perfunctory attitude, Zhao Chongwei complained about him a lot.

Zhao Sheng didn't let him go until he "reformed his evil ways".

In other words, I ask myself to protect my descendants, no one else!

Facts have proved that asking the ancestors for blessings is of no use at all.

Two days later, a piece of bad news came like a bolt from the blue, causing the Zhao family to panic.

Zhao Jingang's foundation building failed!

Not only did he fail, but his meridians were broken in many places, and his state regressed back to the early stage of the ninth level of Qi refining.

In just half an hour, Zhao Chonghe, as the only Chongzi generation, sat at the round table with the seven elders of the Zhao family who held real power.

At this time, the atmosphere in Tongxintang was heavier than two months ago.

There is no doubt that Zhao Jingang's failure was a serious blow to the Zhao family, so severe that it shook everyone's confidence.

At this emergency meeting, Zhao Sheng did not speak. In fact, he had nothing to say.

Failure is failure, not the sky is falling.

The other elders of the Zhao family behaved very rationally this time. After a brief period of frustration, they immediately discussed the aftermath.

To describe it simply, we block news externally, try to downplay the color of failure internally, do our best to appease people, and severely crack down on any rumors.

After leaving Tongxintang, Zhao Sheng immediately went to Shanggongtang, advanced ten years' salary as the head of the family, and exchanged all the Feijian, Xuanlan Crystal and other treasures in the storage bag for Bigu Pill and Lingyuan Pill.

Then, he plunged into the water veins training room and began a long retreat.

He had to prepare for his retreat.

If Zhao Jinding also fails.

Zhao Sheng decided to enter Tianzhu Mountain in advance after he was promoted to the third level of Qi Refining.

Time flies by, and two years go by in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhao Sheng, with messy hair and beard, finally walked out of the training room.

At this time, no one knew that he had successfully advanced to the third level of Qi Refining.

After leaving the customs and surfacing, Zhao Sheng boarded a wooden boat and ordered the boatman to sail to the shore of Longli Lake.

Halfway through the journey, he was shocked to find that there were more than 60% more boats on Longli Lake than two years ago.

From wooden boats that are three feet long to wide-bottomed bow boats that are more than ten or twenty feet long, there are more than a hundred boats in total.

There are also two medium-sized dragon-headed boats that are more than thirty feet long and seven to eight feet high, with countless runes shining on the surface of the hull, speeding on the lake.

From time to time, someone on the Dharma boat would cast fishing nets glowing with spiritual light into the water.

This busy scene seems to symbolize that the Zhao family is very prosperous.

However, Zhao Sheng was not only not happy when he saw this scene, but also frowned tightly.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Zhao Sheng murmured to himself: "The situation is not good!"

After landing, Zhao Sheng quickly learned a very bad news from the tribesmen.
