Everlasting

‘Uncle Twenty-six has an upright character. After the failure of foundation building, I am afraid he has been feeling guilty for many years. ’

‘If he cannot strengthen his Taoist heart, he may become depressed. ’

At this thought, Chen Nianzhi felt regretful in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. He just said: "I wonder why Uncle Qingmeng came to me?"

Chen Qingmeng came back to his senses and looked at Chen Nianzhi again with his haggard eyes.

After a while, he sighed inwardly, and then took out a thick book from his sleeve.

"Throughout the hundreds of years of the Chen family, your cultivation talent is considered to be one of the best. In the future, the family will probably have to leave it in your hands."

"I have nothing to teach you. This is my lifelong experience in alchemy. I hope it can be of some use to you."

"Uncle Clan, this..."

Chen Nianzhi's tone was slightly hesitant. This alchemy experience is the result of the alchemist's lifelong efforts and is Chen Qingmeng's most precious skill.

He handed this thing to himself, but it gave Chen Nianzhi a feeling of explaining the aftermath.

"No need to ask any more questions."

Chen Qingmeng put the alchemy experience in Chen Nianzhi's hands, looked at him deeply, then turned and left the hall.

Somehow, Chen Nianzhi vaguely saw a domineering and determined aura from his back.

"This twenty-sixth uncle is afraid that he will build the foundation again!"

In an instant, thoughts flashed through Chen Nianzhi's mind.

In fact, his guess was correct. Now Chen Qingmeng could not resist the guilt and pressure he felt towards his family, and was determined to break through the foundation building again.

Without the help of the Foundation Building Pill, the success rate of most monks in building a Foundation is no more than 10%, and if they fail, they will most likely die.

Now that Chen Qingmeng is about to attack the Foundation Establishment Realm, he has to make a last ditch effort to survive. If he succeeds, he can reverse the decline of his family, and if he fails, he will die.

As for giving the alchemy experience to Chen Nianzhi, it was just to leave the seed of an alchemist in the family.

"Uncle Twenty-six..."

Chen Nianzhi's throat was a little dry, and he wanted to persuade him to say something, but nothing came out.

Now, he has no chance of building a foundation, and he has no ability to change anything.

The only thing he could do was to pray and wish him a successful attack and become the second foundation-building monk in his family.

In the end, there were only two words in my mouth.

"treasure!"

The sixth elder in the distance paused, his back turned to him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"The road to becoming an immortal is long and difficult. We can only walk on it."

"If I fall, if you have the ability, go and see the scenery at the end for me."

He said nothing more, just waved his hands with his back turned and continued walking down the mountain.

…

After parting with the Sixth Elder, Chen Nianzhi did not go down the mountain immediately. Instead, he waited for five days until after the New Year before going down the mountain to Pingyang County.

Pingyang County is more than three thousand miles away from Qingyuan Mountain. Even with Chen Nianzhi's current level of cultivation, it took him two full days to arrive.

This city city was built on the ancient plains of Pingyang, hence its name.

A long way away, Chen Nianzhi saw Pingyang County in the distance, because in the sky of this city, there was a fiery red ball floating in the void.

This world is different from the previous life. Mortal cities cannot be built randomly.

In this world, the flesh and blood of mortals are a great nourishment for monsters, and the souls are the treasures coveted by demon cultivators. Therefore, if a city is built in the wilderness, it will become the ration of demons in a few years.

Therefore, the cities in this world are built on spiritual veins, and they must cooperate with the city defense formation to barely protect the safety of mortals.

For example, Pingyang County City in front of us is built on a second-order low-grade spiritual vein, and a set of second-order mid-grade Fierce Sun Divine Fire Formation is deployed.

The fiery red ball in the sky of the city is called the Raging Flame Divine Fire Bead. It is a second-level mid-level array magic weapon that can emit the Raging Sun Divine Fire that burns demons.

With the Grand Elder's perfect cultivation of Qi, activating this defensive formation to restrain demons, often even the demons in the middle and late stages of foundation building cannot benefit from it.

It is precisely because of this that the hundreds of thousands of blood of the Chen family can thrive in this cruel world of immortality.

"Brother Nian, you are finally here."

"come on in."

Before Chen Nianzhi entered the city, he heard hearty laughter.

He looked up and saw a middle-aged man walking over with a smile.

He took a look and recognized the identity of the person. His name was Chen Nianyang. This man is the eldest son of the great elder. He is fifty-five years old this year and ranks first in the age of the generation. Unfortunately, he does not have the qualifications for cultivation. He is only at the sixth level of Qi training.

Chen Nianyang stepped forward and looked at Chen Nianzhi carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I will have to call you elder in the future."

"There is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Chen Nianzhi said with a smile. The two walked into the city. Along the way, he asked, "Where is the great elder."

"He asked me to invite you over."

The two of them walked forward, and Chen Nianzhi met the great elder Chen Qingxu.

As the eldest elder of the Chen family, Chen Qingxu has just passed the age of seventy-five, but compared to the 120-year-old limit of his Qi refining period, he is still at the peak of his strength.

The Chen family has a shortage of ninth-level qi-training monks, and Pingyang City also needs experienced and steady old monks like him, so he still has to shoulder this important task.

It's just that in another twenty years, Chen Qingxu's true energy will gradually wane, and his strength will decline sharply after he turns a hundred years old. At that time, he may have to find a new elder to take over.

"You came."

In the main hall, the Great Elder looked at Chen Nianzhi with a serious smile and nodded slightly.

"Now that we're here, let's start testing the spiritual roots tomorrow."

Detecting spiritual roots is a major event for both the Chen Clan and the descendants of the entire Chen family in Pingyang City.

According to the regulations of the Chen Clan, every year in the first month after the New Year, a day will be chosen to test the spiritual roots of the young children in the clan. All children over the age of six must participate in the spiritual root testing conference.

In order to prevent any omissions, every child will have an opportunity to test their spiritual roots once a year until they are nine years old.

Although the Chen family does not have a soul-measuring plate, they can only ask the ninth-level Qi-training monks to detect the spiritual roots using earthly methods. However, there is still confidence at the eighth- or ninth-level that the spiritual roots will be vaguely detected in the future.

With such a detection probability, if a child with spiritual roots cannot be detected three times in a row, it can only be said that his life is bad and he does not have enough immortality.

But even so, Pingyang City has a population of 120,000, and five to six thousand people have to test their spiritual roots every year, which is also a huge workload.

In fact, this does not include the six surrounding small towns. There are still six small towns surrounding Pingyang City, each with an average population of nearly 10,000.

"so many people."

In the square of the spirit testing conference, Chen Nianzhi looked at the crowd of young children coming to sign up and couldn't help but frown slightly.
