Ascension Through Generations

In the mountains and valleys, streams gurgling, birds singing and flowers fragrant.

A gust of breeze blew from the dense forest, just blowing over the alchemy cauldron, blowing away the dense alchemy gas, making the surrounding area filled with a strong alchemy fragrance for several miles.

At this moment, there was a bang, the lid of the cauldron suddenly flew high, and several rays of pill light flew out from the cauldron, shooting in all directions.

"Haha, four Yue Hua Yuan Return Pills, this time I won!" Zhao Yuedu laughed loudly when he saw this, and suddenly waved his long sleeves, flicking out a stream of clear light, and took away the four third-level high-grade spiritual pills that had escaped. Sweeping back to the two of them.

The white-haired old woman Chen Ming also slowly lowered her right hand that was supporting her head, yawned, and said casually: "I didn't expect you, old man, to have a hidden secret. I'll let you win by chance this time. This furnace of elixir belongs to you. Got it!"

"What do you mean by a fluke that you won! I have superb skills in alchemy, and I won with dignity!" After hearing this, Zhao Yuedu immediately quit and retorted on the spot with a beard and a glare.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it's up to you to judge! This old woman obviously lost, but she's very stubborn!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man in green robe put down the spiritual rice in his hand and said calmly: "Fellow Taoist Zhao did win one move. However, if Grandmaster Chen can be more serious, who will win in this competition? It’s not known yet!”

After hearing this, Zhao Yuedu's expression froze and he was speechless.

Although he was always tough on the surface, secretly he had to admit that the other party's alchemy level was much better than his.

At this time, the white-haired old woman stood up and said calmly: "Okay, it's just a little game, why take it seriously!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen Xi, you persuaded Old Man Zhao to invite me over this time. You might as well tell me what happened now. There are still a lot of things in Alchemy Peak that need to be handled by me. I don't have much free time left."

As soon as he heard the word Chen Xi, he knew that this young man in green robe was none other than Zhao Sheng.

A few years ago, he traveled to the Northern Territory as a loose cultivator Yuanying, and met Zhao Yuedu by chance at a high-end auction.

Because of his status as an alchemy master, the two hit it off immediately. Later, Zhao Yuedu invited him to Xinglong Mountain as a guest and stayed there for several years.

Over the years, the friendship between the two has grown deeper and deeper. Not long ago, Zhao Sheng finally nodded and agreed to serve as the chief elder of the Zhao family's guest minister, which made the entire Zhao family ecstatic.

In the past two months, Zhao Sheng took out a fragment of the Alchemy Sutra and wanted to study it together with Zhao Yuedu.

Of course, this move was intentional on his part, in order to get another helping hand for the Zhao family, and the chosen candidate was none other than Chen Mingye, the "Holy Hand and Heart".

This person's status in the Wuque Palace is very special, not only because of her dual status as Yuanying Patriarch and Alchemy Master, but more importantly, she is the third supreme elder of the Chen family among the four great families in the Wuque Palace.

You must know that the previous generation of the God-incarnation True Monarch in Wuque Palace was named Chen. This shows the deep heritage and special status of the Chen family!

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Chen, why are you in such a hurry! I asked you to come here, but I have a great thing to share with you. If it weren't for the deep friendship between you and me, how could this opportunity fall on you?" Zhao Seeing this, Yue Du immediately stood up from the ground and scolded loudly.

A smile appeared on Zhao Sheng's face, his body flew up, and landed in front of the two of them in an instant. He landed gently and stood still.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I accidentally obtained a incomplete Alchemy Sutra from the cave of my predecessor. The text in the book is profound and obscure, and it is difficult to understand it for a while. Therefore, I borrowed the words of Friend Daoist Zhao and invited fellow Taoist to come and study this Alchemy Sutra together. Friend Taoist With your participation, the three of us will be able to fully understand the Alchemy Sutra through more verification and exchanges, and both you and I will be able to make great progress." Zhao Sheng cupped his hands as a gift and said with a smile.

The white-haired old woman's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Where is the Alchemy Sutra? Get it quickly, and let the old woman have a look first!"

"Chen Mingye, why are you in a hurry? This opportunity is rare, and the Alchemy Sutra can be read by you. But the conditions must be agreed in advance. You cannot let this opportunity go in vain."

As soon as Zhao Yuedu finished speaking, Zhao Sheng immediately said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Fellow Daoist Chen is the great master of alchemy after all. Even if she looks at it in vain, it doesn't matter."

"Okay, the old lady finally heard it. You two are obviously working together, and you actually want to use a tattered elixir book to seduce me. This calculation is too clever."

"A tattered alchemy book? Huh, the Danyang Patriarch is a powerful man in the upper world who personally left the alchemy classics. Even if they are dilapidated, they are still priceless treasures!"

"Fortunately, you are also a great expert in alchemy. Even when such a priceless treasure is presented to you, you actually reject it. If I had known..."

Before he finished speaking, the white-haired old woman interrupted Zhao Yuedu's complaint: "Okay! Just tell me if you have any conditions. The old woman agreed."

"Actually, the conditions are very simple. I need to collect some treasures that contain the power of time and space. Fellow Daoist Chen comes from a wealthy family, so you might as well find some for me. More or less, it all depends on your heart. I won't force it." Zhao Sheng said with a smile. .

The white-haired old woman relaxed when she heard this: "The old woman thought it was something difficult. It turned out to be just a small request. I agreed. In addition, the old woman also remembered this favor."

A hint of joy flashed in Zhao Yuedu's eyes, but at this moment, he got an advantage and acted like a good boy, shouting: "How can this opportunity be repaid with favors? After reading the remaining chapters of the Alchemy Sutra, you will know how precious this opportunity is!"

Zhao Sheng didn't say much, but took out an animal skin book from his sleeve and handed it to the white-haired old woman with a solemn expression.

Chen Ming also heard how powerful Old Man Zhao was, and he was already very curious. So as soon as he took it, he ignored everything else and started reading it on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, this person's expression became extremely obsessed, his mind forgot everything, and he was completely immersed in countless mysterious and subtle alchemy scriptures.

Zhao Yuedu was not surprised by this, after all, he was so obsessed with it when he first read the Alchemy Sutra.

"By the way, Brother Chen, you've been drunk for a hundred years, can you give me a few bottles more evenly. I'll exchange my treasures with you." At this time, Zhao Yuedu suddenly came forward and asked with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is out of touch when he says this. He is just drunk for a hundred years. I will give you ten altars." Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said grandly.

When Zhao Yuedu heard this, he suddenly smiled.

But before he could finish laughing, Zhao Sheng's next words made him grin from ear to ear and twitch slightly:

"When the time comes, you can exchange it for a hundred stones of 'Nine Yang Spirit Rice'."

This Jiuyang Spiritual Rice is a top-grade spiritual rice specially cultivated by the Zhao family through the family's secret knowledge of the Fire Divine Power.

This spiritual rice only matures once every thirty years, and the yield per acre is very small. One stone of nine-yang spiritual rice can be exchanged for a foundation-building pill. You can imagine its high value.

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he saw Zhao Yuedu's unbearable pain.

"It's too expensive to be drunk for a hundred years. Okay! One hundred stones is one hundred stones! Anyway, it's a trade to Brother Chen, I don't feel bad at all."

Zhao Yuedu was an old man and naturally saw that Zhao Sheng was making fun of him, but he was happy to pretend to be confused and deliberately showed a very heartbroken look on his face.

When Zhao Sheng saw this, the smile on his face became even stronger. He suddenly waved his hand and a storage bag flew out of his sleeve and fell into Zhao Yuedu's hand.

When Zhao Yuedu opened it, he was immediately shocked and asked hesitantly: "What's inside here..."

"The extra five jars of hundred-year drunkenness will be given to you. As for their treasures, I want to use them to ask fellow Taoist Zhao for something." Zhao Sheng nodded and said.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I wonder what you want to exchange for?" Zhao Yuedu grabbed the storage bag tightly and asked with a solemn expression.

After looking at the mountains of treasures in the storage bag, he knew very well that what the other party asked for next must be extraordinary.

"Fellow Taoists must have noticed that my aura is sometimes strong and weak, and is extremely unstable. To be honest, my body has been extremely seriously injured, and it has damaged its foundation. My cultivation has been stagnant." Zhao Sheng glanced at the other person's face and spoke slowly.

After hearing this, Zhao Yuedu had no expression of surprise on his face, but rather a look of surprise, as if he had finally gotten a reasonable answer to a question he had been confused about for a long time.

This person quite empathizes with Zhao Sheng's "unfortunate experience".

"A few days ago, I heard that your family has a special inheritance called the Life Flame Divine Power Technique. This method has miraculous effects on repairing foundation damage. I would like to request this inheritance, and I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhao can agree." Zhao Sheng continued.

The Ming Yan Magical Technique he refers to is actually a special magical method that has been continuously developed and evolved from the Mingyan Magic Technique he created back then.

This magical power method was initially perfected by Zhao Wannong, and then was refined and refined through successive generations of ancestors of the Zhao family until it was fully formed. It took a total of more than three thousand years.

Nowadays, the Mingyan magical power has become one of the Zhao family's family heritage. It has always been taught orally without writing, and there are only one or two successors in each generation. It can be said that it is kept secret to the extreme.

When Zhao Sheng saw the other party's hesitation, he was secretly amused. He added another note on the bright side: "What? Maybe the treasures in the bag are not enough! In this case, I still have three magical scriptures in my hand, and you can practice each one The realm of Yuanying Dzogchen. As long as fellow Taoist nods, I will immediately offer it with both hands."

When Zhao Yuedu heard this, he was finally moved, and immediately said: "The magical power of Mingyan is the foundation of our clan. We must not teach it lightly. If fellow Taoist Chen can make an oath, he will never pass it on to anyone else after he learns it. Two people. I will make a decision today that goes against my ancestors and teach you this magical power."

"Okay, okay! A gentleman's words are hard to follow. I will swear an oath to prove it..."

After saying that, Zhao Sheng immediately swore an extremely vicious Taoist oath based on his Taoist heart.

Of course, this is just a way to show sincerity. A real Taoist oath is countless times more rigorous and meticulous. It requires at least setting up an altar and splitting a trace of soul and hard work onto the oath talisman.

After the matter was initially finalized, the white-haired old woman Chen Ming spent three days and three nights before finally reading the last page of the Alchemy Sutra and waking up from her obsession.

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yuedu also protected him for three days and three nights, which shows their sincerity.

Since then, the friendship between the three people has developed rapidly. Under the hints of their respective ancestors, the relationship between the two parties has become closer and closer, and there are many marriages between them.

…

Seven years later.

In a secret room of a cave, the walls exude a soft and clear light, illuminating the interior as bright as day.

A handsome young man with eyes as bright as stars sat cross-legged, holding a sharp carving knife in his right hand, and was seriously carving a circle of spiral patterns on a square jade plate.

As time passed by, the blank space on the jade plate was gradually occupied by countless layers of spiral patterns, and a faint halo appeared on the surface.

When the last blank space is filled by the space-time spiral, a brand new orbital jade plate is completed.

The handsome young man wiped off the jade chips on his hands, picked up the jade plate, put it in front of his eyes and admired it for a while, with a bit of joy on his face.

Suddenly, an old voice came from behind the man: "Okay, Zongze, you are indeed gifted and you have lived up to my high expectations."

When Zhao Zongze heard this, he quickly put down the jade plate and stood up. He turned around and rushed to the people to bow and salute, saying respectfully: "Disciple pays homage to the master!"

The person who came was none other than Zhao Sheng himself.

Zhao Sheng had a smile on his face and was particularly satisfied with his new apprentice.

Zhao Zongze became his disciple a year ago, and the reason for accepting him was clear at a glance. Just because among all the immortal cultivators in the Zhao family, he is the only one who has the talent of time and space.

Zhao Zongze's talent is that he has a pair of divine eyes, clairvoyance and extremely powerful dynamic vision, which is somewhat similar to the bullet time of Zhao Sheng's previous lives, but more mysterious than it.

In Zhao Sheng's opinion, this person should have experienced a bloodline reversion and inherited part of the talent of fairy vision (disabled).

To a certain extent, Zhao Zongze is indeed the grandson of Zhao Sheng for countless generations!

"Zongze, since you have successfully mastered the Orbital Diagram, there is no need to waste time. Let's officially conduct the first summoning ceremony today."

Hearing what "Master" said, Zhao Zongze was happy at first, and then felt a little nervous. After taking a deep breath, he nodded calmly: "Disciple, I obey."

After finishing speaking, he put the jade plate in his hand on the ground, then took out a fist-sized Sumeru stone and placed it in the center of the "abyss of time and space".

Then, he straightened his body and murmured with a solemn expression: "I..."

As a burst of ancient and mysterious chanting echoed over the secret chamber, strands of pale mist gradually rose from the spiral abyss, finally forming an endless spiral "whirlpool".

The darkness in the center of the "whirlpool" is extremely deep, as if it leads to an unknown place.

After reciting the last note, Zhao Zongze suddenly had a thought in his heart: ".Grey Mountain."

As soon as he had this thought, he suddenly turned his head to look at the Master, and saw the Master smiling at him, his eyes full of appreciation.

Zhao Zongze felt hot in his heart. After nodding heavily, he took a step towards the pale whirlpool and was instantly sucked into the whirlpool channel, disappearing without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Sheng waved his long sleeves, and several sumeru stones as big as heads fell into the center of the jade plate, disappearing into nothing in an instant.

After doing this, he showed a somewhat distressed expression, but he quickly rose into the air and fell into the space-time vortex.
