Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

Chu Zheng has always been interested in the treasury of the Zhou royal family.

Dazhou is a magical foreign land, with both martial arts inheritance and a family like the Song family that hides many secrets.

There are bound to be some surprises hidden in its Sutra Pavilion.

Now that the outside world is extremely chaotic, he just needs to temporarily avoid the limelight and practice peace of mind for a period of time.

The midday sun shines on the lake, sparkling, and the lakeside is overgrown with weeds.

There are little ripples in the center of the lake, and life is breeding within them.

No one could have imagined that less than a year ago, a century-old family once stood where this lake was.

All the stories that happened in it were buried without leaving a trace.

After a hundred years...a thousand years, no one will know about it anymore.

Chu Zheng stood on the shore and stared at the lake in front of him for a long time. He was silent. The breeze blowing in front of him ruffled his black robe. For a moment, he felt a little touched.

It seemed that for a moment, he saw the power of time.

Suddenly, Chu Zheng's expression moved slightly, and he raised his hand to activate the invisibility technique, covering himself and Song Lingqing's figures.

A figure fell from the sky without concealment and stopped above the lake.

He looked to be a young monk in his teens, holding a compass in his hand, dressed in white clothes, with a wooden crown and jade belt. He had a handsome appearance, and his clothes were not ostentatious, but he was full of nobility, and he could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary.

His cultivation level is not weak, his Immortal Foundation has been established in his body, and he has entered the Tao.

This place is the place where the ancestors of the Zhou royal family show their sacredness, and the secret guards of the imperial court are stationed in all directions.

Such an upright and upright move naturally attracted the attention of many secret guards, but in an instant, the lake was surrounded by people.

"Commander of the Great Zhou White Tiger Secret Guard Town Fusi, may I ask which immortal you are from?"

A commander in silver armor walked forward slowly, bowed, and asked respectfully.

His blood energy was extremely vigorous, and he had already reached the realm of a great master in ordinary martial arts.

The young man did not answer his words. After looking around, he said loudly:

"Let me ask you, are there any people named Song here?"

Hearing this inquiry, Chu Zheng frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly. In the eyes of the world, the Song family has been wiped out, how could anyone come here to look for the Song family.

Song Lingqing, who was marveling at the magic of invisibility, also showed a hint of surprise when she heard this, and doubts appeared in her eyes.

The Song family has never been involved with Taoist monks. Now that this person suddenly comes to visit, it most likely means trouble.

Hearing the young monk's question, the Silver Armored Commander hesitated for a moment. After pondering for a few breaths, he answered truthfully:

"Reporting to the Immortal, there is no one named Song here. It turns out that there is a Song family here."

"Where is the Song family now?"

"It's already been wiped out."

"Destroy the whole family?"

Hearing these two words, the young man immediately frowned, with a hint of evil in his expression: "Who did this?"

"I don't know the details of this. Please forgive me." Commander Shining Armor shook his head for a while.

Even if he knows part of the truth, he can't talk nonsense. These matters between the Immortal Sect should be handled by themselves.

Gulu——

There was an unusual sound from the compass in the young man's hand. He immediately lowered his head and looked at the compass in his hand. After a slight sigh, he suddenly turned his head and looked straight in the direction of Chu and Zheng.

"Did he see us?" Song Lingqing looked slightly startled.

"impossible."

Chu Zheng shook his head and rejected it. As he entered the Jade Bone Realm, invisibility was already a second-level magical power.

Not to mention the monks who have entered the Taoist realm, even if they are in the Soul Condensation realm, if they want to break the invisibility technique, they still need to examine it carefully for a long time. If they just sweep past it, they will not be able to detect it.

This young monk's cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Taoism, and he has absolutely no such means.

Chu Zheng looked at the compass in his hand and glanced at Song Lingqing beside him, as if he had some realization.

In order to verify his idea, Chu Zheng immediately picked up Song Lingqing, jumped into the air, and ran towards the outside of the city.

The young monk standing in mid-air looked at the compass trembling in his hand, looked up at the empty void, and couldn't help but have doubts on his face.

After hesitating for a while, he did not follow the compass, but landed beside the lake.

"My dear Immortal, if nothing happens, please leave this place. After all, this is the place where the ancestors of the Zhao family show their spirits. It is not convenient for outsiders to stay."

The silver-armored commander stepped forward and reminded him.

"Zhao?"

The young man looked puzzled, and then asked: "What is the surname of the royal family here?"

"Exactly."

"The surname of a mere secular dynasty is worthy of calling itself a clan?"

Seeing the silver-armored commander nodding, the young man sneered, raised his fingers to separate the waves, and walked into the lake.

The silver-armored commander's lips twitched slightly, and without saying another word, he cupped his fists and saluted, then stepped aside.

Outside of the Great Zhou, those sects have been fighting with real fire, and immortals often die due to fighting, but the Great Zhou is still peaceful, which has proved the intimidating power of the ancestors of the Zhao family.

He didn't know where this person came from, but he didn't want to risk his life because of it.

After a while, the young man walked out of the lake, looking a little depressed. He took out the compass again, jumped into the air, and followed the instructions of the compass towards the outside of the city.

Looking at the lake in front of him, the silver-armored commander fell into deep thought and raised his hand to summon the messenger:

"Report this to the Holy Emperor and say that there are others looking for the Song family's bloodline."

…………

…………

More than thirty miles outside Luofeng City, on top of a low peak.

Chu Zheng dispelled the invisibility technique, moved his cheeks slightly, and shifted his bones slightly, transforming into a middle-aged monk who was about thirty years old.

He first put on a layer of disguise for himself to avoid direct conflicts because of his face. He also had something to ask the person, but didn't want to do anything directly.

"What do you want to do?" Song Lingqing was a little confused.

"Wait for a while, and that person should be found."

Chu Zheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This person did not see through the invisibility technique, but relied on other tracking methods, which may be related to your bloodline. Let's find out what he said later."

"My bloodline?"

Song Lingqing was a little surprised. She had never felt that there was anything special about her bloodline.

Regarding the bloodline of the Song family, Chu Zheng could guess something from the blood jade passed down from his family.

The Song family definitely hides a lot of secrets, and we should be able to extract some useful information from this person's mouth.

After a while, a figure cut through the sky and stopped above the short peak. It was the young monk from before.

He looked down at the two people and looked at the compass for approval. After a while of tea, he slowly set down.

"Are you from the Song family?"

The young man walked up to the two of them, ignored Chu Zheng, and looked at Song Lingqing.

"yes."

Song Lingqing nodded slightly, then raised her eyebrows slightly: "Who are you?"

"Direct line of the Song family, Song Xian."

The young man briefly introduced himself, and when he mentioned the word "Song", his expression showed undisguised pride.

Song Lingqing was a little confused for a moment and glanced at Chu Zheng subconsciously.

Chu Zheng did not speak, but took half a step back, gesturing for her to continue asking.

"Which Song family?"

Hearing this, Song Xian smiled faintly and said in a deep voice: "The Song family of the Eastern Region family had four true immortals in our ancestors."

"Eastern Region?!"

Song Lingqing was slightly startled. The East Territory and the South Territory were separated by the Rift Strait, which was extremely far away. It would take at least a year for a Taoist monk to cross it.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

Seeing Song Lingqing's face full of surprise and doubt, Song Xian was not surprised and immediately gave a brief and general explanation of the origin of the Song family.

Chu Zheng listened on the sidelines and gradually understood some of the context.

If there are many sects in the Southern Territory, then in the Eastern Territory, there are real aristocratic families ruling the world.

There are also aristocratic families in the Southern Territory, but most of the aristocratic families rely on the sect to survive, and there are very few independent practicing families.

Ordinary monks, relying on blood to reproduce, the chance of birthing immortal bones is really unstable, and it is difficult to maintain long-lasting prosperity. They often gradually disappear after being passed down for several generations.

The Eastern Territory is not as vast as the Southern Territory. It is only two-thirds of the Southern Territory. It is governed by three major clans, one of which is the Song clan.

The bloodline of a family that has given birth to true immortals has its own mysteries.

In the True Immortal family, every few generations, one or two talented people will always appear and take over the power of the family. This has become the norm.

The Song family was not originally from the Eastern Region, but moved from the Southern Region.

When they moved out that year, it was to avoid disaster. At that time, there were still other sects continuing in the Cangyun Realm. The Southern Territory was the last land of war, and there were often shocking battles.

At that time, the Song family experienced continuous wars, and the members of the clan were gradually weakening. In desperation, the direct line moved eastward, leaving only a few branches to continue to multiply in the southern region, in an attempt to regroup in the future.

However, as time passed, some of the direct bloodlines who migrated eastward came to the realm of true immortals, were led by the Immortal Alliance, and returned to the top of the world.

As for these branches in the Southern Territory, there has been no news for a long time. They were wandering around in the troubled times, becoming weaker and weaker, and gradually lost contact.

The ancestral home of the Song family was near the Great Zhou Dynasty. After the war, a branch of the family thought of their homeland and returned to this place. The bloodline gradually took root and spread its branches, and then it became what it is today.

Song Xian's tone was very understated, but Chu Zheng could hear a lot of difficulty in it.

The struggle for orthodoxy was so cruel that all the True Immortal families were forced to leave. The living environment in the Southern Territory at that time was already extremely bad.

The several branches left here have obviously tried their best to propagate their bloodline, just like the inexplicable family rule of the Song family before.

No two sons can coexist in a family.

Now it seems that this rule is a helpless act, but it is precisely because of this that after abandoning the glory of the True Immortal Family, the Song family bloodline has been passed down and continues to this day.

Chu Zheng had thought before that the Song family's bloodline was extraordinary, but he never expected that it would be exaggerated to such an extent that it was actually related to the true immortal.

Looking at Song Xian in front of him, Chu Zheng fell into deep thought. Now that Song Xian spent so much effort to cross the Strait, it was obviously not possible for him to find his relatives. There must be other reasons.

Before he could think about it, Song Xian suddenly took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and slowly unfolded it.

On the silk cloth, a piece of jade was drawn with blood, no more, no less, divided into six pieces.

"Have you ever seen anything similar to this piece of jade?"

Hearing this, Song Lingqing looked at it carefully for a long time. After recalling it for a moment, she shook her head slightly:

"No."

For a moment, Song Xian's face was filled with disappointment, but he still refused to give up: "Take a closer look."

After Song Lingqing confirmed it again and again, she denied it again: "Indeed not."

The moment he saw this piece of silk cloth, Chu Zheng instantly understood that the ultimate goal of Song Xian, or the Song family of the Eastern Region, was to pass down the blood jade to his family.

In other words, it is the secret realm connected to the blood jade.

"What is this?" Song Lingqing couldn't help but be curious when she saw Song Xian's reaction.

"This is a family heirloom blood jade, connected to a secret realm, where all the Song family's heritage is contained."

Song Xian put away the silk cloth, his eyebrows were a little irritated, and he explained a few words casually, clarifying the cause and effect.

When the Southern Territory was in flames of war, the Rift Strait Sea at that time was also full of dangers. There were many cultivators secretly lurking in the sea, making a last-ditch effort.

With the strength of the Song family at that time, it was still quite difficult to protect the direct line across the Rift Sea. It was necessary to mobilize most of the mainstays from various branches to escort.

In order to ensure the other branches that the Song family's direct descendants would one day return to the Southern Territory, this piece of jade was just divided into six pieces.

Only after using the entire Song family's heritage as collateral, each branch agreed to lend a hand.

After leaving, there will naturally be no return date.

Tens of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and by the time the direct lineage of the Song family emerges again as a true immortal, the Southern Territory has already become a holy land with hundreds of sects.

Under this situation, it is not so easy to go back. What's more, with the new true immortal, the so-called little background is not so important.

After putting away the silk cloth, Song Xian lost interest and said casually:

"After that, you will follow me, and when you find the blood jade, you will come back to the Eastern Region with me. With your talent, if you work harder, you may have the opportunity to join the direct line in the future. If you can awaken your bloodline, you may be able to gain access to the mysteries in the future."

His attitude from beginning to end was condescending, with a hint of condescension.

"I don't need it." Song Lingqing said calmly, her expression indifferent.

Song Xian never asked Song Lingqing what he thought, so he was naturally rejected.

The sudden rejection clearly caught Song Xian off guard. His face was full of disbelief: "Do you know how big of an opportunity you rejected?"

Although the Song family is not as good as before, it is still one of the three major clans in the Eastern Region. There are far more than one powerful person in the clan who can understand the mysterious realm.

"That's it."

Chu Zheng said the first sentence, which directly brought the meeting to an end.

The information collected this time is enough.

"Who are you?"

Song Xian was already in a bad mood. At this moment, he was like a powder keg, which was instantly ignited. He said in a cold voice: "Do you have the right to interrupt here? Do you want to die?"

When he came, he glanced at Chu Zheng, who seemed to be middle-aged. His cultivation in the late Cailingquan realm was not at all in his eyes.

Snapped--

Chu Zheng stepped forward and slapped Song Xian hard on the face with a powerful and heavy slap.

Song Xian never expected that Chu Zheng would suddenly take action, and Chu Zheng's movements were too fast. In such a hurry, he had no time to be careful. In an instant, he was knocked out a hundred feet away and slammed into the rugged mountain road. He was dizzy. My brain was swollen and it was difficult to get up for a while.

"Because your surname is Song, I will spare your life today."

"If you want to seek revenge, ask your elders to come to Taixuan Holy Land to look for me. My name is Chu Zheng."
