Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Wei Ruyan followed the crowd and entered from Chaoyuan Gate.

She was once again stunned by the grand scene in front of her.

I saw a deep abyss of thousands of feet across Wuyou City.

The river in the abyss was surging, and there were hundreds of feet high ships on it.

The people on the boat took the ship to pass through the abyss river, upstream, and came to Wuyou City to participate in the ceremony of the elders taking concubines.

Wei Ruyan entered Wuyou City, and Wuyou City was indeed full of spiritual energy.

There were shops and pavilions lined up.

"10 spiritual stones a day." A shopkeeper said.

Wei Ruyan was shocked: "So expensive?"

She still remembered that in the inner gathering of Xianmao Valley, 10 spiritual stones could live for several months.

I didn't expect it to be so expensive now.

"Senior, Wuyou City is located on the top-grade spiritual vein, with rich spiritual energy. This is because our store has just opened. After a while, we will increase to 30 spiritual stones." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll stay for 10 days." Wei Ruyan handed over 100 spirit stones.

Just as Wei Ruyan was about to go upstairs, a voice came from behind her.

"Keqing Wei?!"

Wei Ruyan turned her head and saw that it was Zhang Sanqian.

"Uncle Sanqian, why are you here?" Wei Ruyan asked in surprise.

"You have indeed broken through the foundation. This Worry-Free City was originally built by the ten clan elders. I just came here to supervise the work today. I didn't expect to see you." Zhang Sanqian said with a smile.

The temple owner has a deep love for Wei Ruyan, and Wei Ruyan is also a first-level top-grade alchemist with a Yuandan body.

If the temple owner knew that Wei Ruyan was back, I don't know how happy he would be.

Wei Ruyan opened her eyes wide and said, "Could it be that the hidden family rumored by the outside world is a member of the Zhang family?"

"You can say that." Zhang Sanqian nodded slightly.

In fact, the power of Fairy Cat Valley not only includes Zhangjiaji, but also Xingyi City where Ziyuan Zhenren is located, Dawangbao where Tie Zhixin is located, Luoxingyuan where Ma Tianhe is located, etc.

However, there is no need to tell Wei Ruyan in detail as soon as they meet.

"It is rumored that Fairy Cat Valley repelled the four great insect lords during the locust tide. Is it true?"

"This... is considered true."

The four great insect lords besieged Fairy Cat Valley.

The battle was very fierce.

If it weren't for the appearance of Old Oily Head at the critical moment, Fairy Cat Valley might have been destroyed in that battle.

"There are also people outside saying that the six golden pills of the three sects on the talisman of Fairy Cat Valley..."

"That's true."

"How is it possible? When did Fairy Cat Valley become so strong?"

"It's hard to describe the hardships, all thanks to the ten elders."

"That...how is the ten elders doing now?"

"The ten elders are doing well. He has advanced to the late stage of foundation building. He has reached the highest level of alchemy and weapon casting. He just misses you all the time."

"Uncle Sanqian, please don't tease me..." Wei Ruyan lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I'll take you to see the temple master. He must be very happy to see you."

"Okay."

Zhang Xuan received the communication talisman from Zhang Sanqian.

"What? Wei Ruyan is back?"

Zhang Xuan immediately used the teleportation array to teleport from Fairy Cat Valley to Worry-free City.

When Zhang Sanqian brought Wei Ruyan to see Zhang Xuan.

He thought the temple master would be ecstatic.

But the temple master he saw had messy hair, untidy beard, and bloodshot eyes as if he hadn't closed his eyes for several months.

"Tenth clan elder, what's wrong with you?" Wei Ruyan asked with concern.

At this time, Zhang Sanqian walked away tactfully, leaving only Zhang Xuan and Wei Ruyan.

"You... have heard everything?"

"What did you hear?" Wei Ruyan opened her eyes wide in confusion.

"About taking a concubine."

"The ceremony of taking a concubine by the clan elders of Xianmao Valley... Could it be that the ten clan elders took a concubine?"

"Yes." Zhang Xuan nodded in disappointment, trying to twist his face to make himself look like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Ten clan elders taking a concubine, this is a good thing, why are they not happy?"

"This is not my wish, it's the family..." Zhang Xuan choked up and couldn't say anything more.

Wei Ruyan panicked and helped the ten clan elders wipe away their tears.

Zhang Xuan grabbed Wei Ruyan's hand and said, "How about we elope?"

"Ah——" Wei Ruyan was shocked.

As the backbone of Fairy Cat Valley, he actually said he wanted to elope with her.

"Don't you want Fairy Cat Valley?"

"No."

"No, no, Tenth Elder, you still have your clansmen. Even the Yuanying Immortals are coming to this ceremony. This can't be done."

"But I can't let you down."

"Tenth Elder, don't say that..." Wei Ruyan's head hung even lower.

"Tell me how you have been through these years." Zhang Xuan sighed.

Wei Ruyan told Zhang Xuan about her past in the closed area bit by bit.

When Zhang Xuan heard that Duan Qingfeng of the Demon Sect actually intended to do something wrong to Wei Ruyan, he was furious.

"I have refined him into a blood pill." Wei Ruyan said.

"It's well refined. If I meet him, I will grind him to ashes and prevent him from entering the reincarnation cycle." Zhang Xuan said angrily.

"Over the years, I have been able to survive thanks to my alchemy skills. This is all thanks to the support of the ten clan elders."

"Stay with me. I won't let you suffer anymore." Zhang Xuan grabbed Wei Ruyan's hand.

"Ten clan elders..."

"Why, you don't want to?"

"This..." Wei Ruyan was confused.

She didn't expect the ten clan elders to be so direct.

Wei Ruyan thought for a moment, and looked at Zhang Xuan with a pair of watery eyes and asked: "Are the ten clan elders sincere?"

"Of course I am sincere!" Zhang Xuan said seriously.

"The road is very long, the ten clan elders should think it over carefully, and they can't regret it in the future. I, Wei Ruyan, am only widowed, not divorced." Wei Ruyan showed her fierce side.

"The immortal road is long, I am willing to travel with you on the road."

"Okay," Wei Ruyan showed a resolute look, "Whether as a concubine or a slave, Ruyan is willing to follow the ten clan elders, but why do you deliberately make your clothes old?"

"Ah?" Zhang Xuan looked down at his worn clothes.

"The grade of your robes is not low, and they must be slowly burned by spiritual fire to make them old."

"This..." Zhang Xuan was embarrassed.

In order to create a pitiful image in front of Wei Ruyan, he did use the Nine Flames True Fire to make his clothes old.

"And the beard on your chin, it can be seen that it was temporarily grown by the secret method of vitality."

"You also know this..."

"And your eyes, you can smell that you have dripped secret potion."

"You can see all this?"

At this moment, Zhang Xuan felt as if he had been stripped of his clothes and exposed naked in front of Wei Ruyan.

"But your red face is real at this moment, hehe..." Wei Ruyan suddenly covered her nose and laughed.

"What have you learned in the past few years? You can see through it."

"I have been surviving in many shelters in the closed area. I have come all the way to now. Naturally, I am not the female cultivator who knew nothing before, otherwise Duan Qingfeng would have succeeded long ago."

"This... I'm sorry, are you still willing to stay?"

"I have already said that whether as a concubine or a slave, Ruyan is willing to follow the ten clan elders."

"Ruyan..."
