The system is a broken bowl

Song Chen and Yan'er first went to visit Xueru in the steaming clouds. Xueru was in good condition and had broken through to the Heavenly Gold Realm. Counting the time, she has been practicing in the eyes of the Crystal Dragon Beast for almost twenty years.

The bunny girl went out a few days ago. After she came back and swallowed a middle-grade purple magic crystal, she fell asleep again. Song Chen didn't know what state she would reach when she woke up again.

Long Er was also sleeping soundly, and his realm was steadily improving. She is different from the bunny girl. The bunny girl does not need to go through the catastrophe of the mortal world and the cultivation world, but she has to move forward step by step. She is Song Chen's mount, so she cannot sit back and enjoy the benefits.

We haven't found a suitable place to place the cornucopia yet, otherwise it would speed up Longer's growth.

Ling Zhen'er, the tool of the Yin Yang Five Elements Needle, is still eating her first piece of purple magic crystal. After all, it is a middle-grade magic crystal. The energy contained in it is too huge, and it is estimated that it can last her a long time.

The source of all trees has already sprouted its buds. It takes twenty years to grow a leaf and forty years to sprout a vine, so it will take some time.

The evolution of companion lotus and vitality grass is faster than expected, and now it has the appearance of incarnation lotus and rebirth grass. Yan'er said that once she gets the "Kiss of Death" and cooperates with the "Devil's Snail", the speed can be increased.

Finally, we went to see the red-footed jackal, the magical beast he had transformed. Song Xiaosa and Song Xiaoan had also grown up a lot. The small spiral horns on their heads looked very beautiful, not as weird as Mo Likui's horns. There is magic energy to support them, so there is no need to feed them for the time being.

As soon as the two little guys saw Song Chen, they immediately shouted "Daddy" and "Mummy". Song Chen chatted with the "son and daughter" for a long time.

When the red-footed jackal emerges from its shell, it has no legs like ordinary snakes, but it soon grows four red legs, making it look a bit like a lizard.

After the inspection, Yan'er went to chat with Xueru, while Song Chen jumped into the hot spring pool.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the hot spring pool is different from ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and has the function of assisting cultivation. This is a good thing for martial arts practitioners, but for ordinary people, it is not a good thing and will cause damage to the meridians. This is also the reason why Song Chen didn't bring Zhuo Qingqing and her daughter here to soak in the hot springs.

"Yan'er, my spiritual cultivation has reached the level of a high-level Jindan Venerable, and I have the power of Emperor Hongtian's laws in the world of consciousness. Can I practice Lao Bai's White Tiger martial arts now?"

Separated by a rockery, it did not affect Song Chen's conversation with Yan'er. He was looking forward to Bai Hu's pure spiritual martial arts. He has not forgotten what Yan'er said. The current world of consciousness can already accommodate Baihu Laobai.

"I think it's disgusting! Although Brother Chen's spiritual cultivation is strong, before you reach the Nascent Soul realm, I don't recommend you practice the three spiritual skills of White Tiger. You will know the reason later."

Yan'er poured a ladle of cold water on her, but gave her a sweet date. "The world of consciousness can accommodate Lao Bai. Even if he is still unable to practice his three spiritual skills, it can still strengthen the attack and defense of his spiritual power. This is much more powerful than the Buddhist beads made of golden talismans!"

Upon hearing this, Song Chen felt a little regretful, but he did not hesitate. He estimated that by the time he ascended, he would be able to practice the three skills of the White Tiger.

With his current mental strength, he has no problem dealing with cultivators from the lower world. Plus, with Lao Bai entering the world of consciousness and exploring the world of Diju, he is even more confident.

If you have the three skills of the White Tiger by your side when you ascend, you will no longer be a rookie in the world of cultivation. At least, there is no need to fear anyone in Nanchen Territory.

Half an hour had passed since Yunzheng Xiaweizhong, and it was estimated that Zhuan Qingqing and her daughter had almost finished washing. Song Chen got up, put on his clothes and returned to Zhong Ling Yuxiu.

They just finished washing, and Zhuo Qingqing helped her mother tidy up. Song Chen's eyes lit up. Zhuo Qingqing's mother had transformed into a charming young woman.

It seems that she is similar to Fu Bo's wife Novartis. However, this is temporary. As she receives a large number of gifts of water crystals, she will become younger and younger until she returns to her appearance when she was pregnant with Zhuo Qingqing.

"Auntie is so beautiful!"

Song Chen praised.

He didn't mean to flatter her. The mother and daughter were very similar. Zhuo Qingqing was the number one oiran, so how could her mother be any worse?

"My name is Gongsun Rui. Mr. Song, please call me Aunt Rui from now on."

Gongsun Rui added: "I mean, before Mr. Song and Qingqing got married, they were called that. After they got married, of course they were called mother."

Song Chen called "Aunt Rui" and then said with a smile: "In another year and a half, you two will be like sisters."

Zhuan Qingqing and Gongsun Rui had not yet recovered from their joy, and were shocked again. After all, Gongsun Rui is already thirty-six years old, how can he be like a sister to Zhuo Qingqing, who is fifteen or sixteen years old?

"Is there anyone else in Aunt Rui's family?" Song Chen changed the topic so that the mother and daughter would not be able to recover for a long time.

Gongsun Rui's joyful expression dimmed, and she sighed: "There are not many people left, and there are not many people at Qingqing's father's side. Now we are the only ones left."

Song Chen was a little surprised. He thought it was because those relatives didn't want to recognize the poor relatives of Zhuan Qingqing's parents, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"Aunt Rui, then come with me to the City of Sands! The Song family will be your home from now on."

Song Chen spoke sincerely. "My parents are gone too. Now I only have my uncle, aunt and a cousin. You will have someone to keep you company."

"This...this is not good!"

Gongsun Rui was still a little hesitant. She had only heard of a man marrying into his wife. How could the mother-in-law also live in the son-in-law's family?

"It's okay! You are now both my mother-in-law and my mother. No one in the Song family will look down upon you."

Song Chen's words made Zhuo Qingqing next to her feel happy and shy at the same time. After all, the two of them were not married yet, so their mother-in-law called them?

…

Song Chen stayed in Zhong Ling Yuxiu for seven days, and the outside world had passed from early morning to night.

He was worried that Yan Yingjun would come looking for him. If he couldn't find him, he would definitely be worried. Besides, Zhuan Qingqing and her daughter are fine. After taking the Qing Yuan Pill and receiving the dual blessings of the Fountain of Life and Water Crystals, Gongsun Rui's physique was no less than that of a martial artist in the Black Bronze Realm.

It's not appropriate for them to go out together now. Firstly, they need to find a place to live for them. Secondly, if they are together, it will be easier to expose Zhuo Qingqing's body as a five-element divine treasure.

Although the counterfeit lost his life-saving runes, his cultivation in the late stage of Condensing Yuan Realm was still there. Song Chen had other things to do, and he didn't want to lose sight of one thing.

"Aunt Rui, Qingqing, you stay here first. When I finish my business in the imperial capital, we will return to the City of Sands."

Song Chen told Zhuan Qingqing about the speed of time again. He was afraid that if he stayed away for a long time, they would panic.

Don't worry about food, there are mountains of food in Langhuan Wonderland, and other ingredients are also available.

…

Song Chen came to the "He Ji Quanguo Sheep" on Fengqing Street, and was about to show him the star order given to him by Ge Li, but he ran into an acquaintance, Zhao Zhongyu, a titled Bronze Lord of the Dark Department.

"Brother Zhao, why are you here?"

Song Chen was both happy and puzzled. "He Ji Quanguo Sheep" was just a contact point of the Sacrifice Alliance in the imperial capital. It was equivalent to an office at most. There was no need for a titled Bronze Lord to be the "director" here, right?

"I came to the imperial capital a few months ago, under the orders of Heavenly Priest Shen Yanyinzun, to investigate a confidential matter."

Zhao Zhongyu smiled. "I received a message from Fei Ge a few days ago, saying that Brother Song will come to the imperial capital in the near future, so I am waiting here for your arrival."

Song Chen understood that Shen Yan sent Zhao Zhongyu here to interrogate someone. Zhao Zhongyu's black talisman was an interrogation artifact that could unknowingly ask the secrets of the person being interrogated.

He even felt that it was Shen Yan, the "second senior brother", who sent Zhao Zhongyu to the imperial capital intentionally to assist him in his affairs.

"Brother Zhao, you're welcome! I may need your help this time."

Song Chen was not polite.

"Brother Song, just give me your orders if you need anything. Even if there is no order from Priest Shen Yantian, I, Zhao Zhongyu, will still be responsible!"

Zhao Zhongyu spoke firmly.

Song Chen was equally happy to meet an old friend in a foreign country. The two of them exchanged cups and ate and drank for a long time. The whole pot of lamb here tastes pretty good, but unfortunately the people in the Imperial City think it is too greasy and tangy, so the business is not very good.

"Brother Zhao, you have been in the Imperial City for a while. Do you know where Elder Gong Wending lives?" Song Chen put down his wine glass and asked.

"What a coincidence! I really know this. Shen Yan Yinzun asked me to send him a letter, so I went to his house."

Zhao Zhongyu was already a little drunk. Seeing Song Chen talking about business, he immediately used his energy to suppress the alcohol and briefly explained Gong Wending's situation. "Brother Song is going to visit Elder Gong?"

Song Chen nodded: "This matter is very important. It would be best to see him as soon as possible."

"I'll take you there right now."

Zhao Zhongyu didn't hesitate and left as soon as he said it.

The two came to a prosperous area in the imperial capital. After confirming Gong Wending's residence, Song Chen rejected Zhao Zhongyu's request to go in together.

"Brother Zhao, there should be a lot of spies around here. You have a special status. If you go to visit the senior officials of the Third Hall of Shengwu Middle School at this time, you will definitely attract attention. I am a stranger. Going in alone can avoid a lot of trouble. "

Song Chen said.

Zhao Zhongyu nodded: "Then I'll go back first. I will wait for you. When you come back, we two brothers will continue drinking."

…

The three middle halls of Shengwu are different from the three lower halls. Almost all their senior officials live in the city and do not live in Yundingshan Hall.

Gong Wending's mansion occupies a large area, has a very grand gate, and there are four guards at the door. It looks like a rich man's home and an official's home.

Song Chen walked over in a swaggering manner. Before he reached the gate, he found several consciousnesses locking him. It seems that Gong Wending's life is not as glorious as it seems. It is so late and there are many "military secret agents" monitoring his mansion.

A guard saw someone approaching and hurriedly stepped forward to question him.

"Please inform Elder Gong that an old friend is visiting."

Song Chen handed the Star Order of the Sacrifice Alliance to the guard, seemingly casually, but in fact he secretly released his spiritual pressure.

As the saying goes, high officials are easy to meet, but imps are difficult to deal with, and the dog guarding the door is the most annoying.

He did this not to beat the dog to show its owner. The main reason is that I am worried that if I wait too long at the door, I will attract the attention of the monitor. Gong Wending's identity is very sensitive, and no matter who he is, everyone is paying close attention to him.

Just as the four guards were about to question him, they suddenly felt their whole bodies tense up, as if they were carrying a heavy weight on their backs, and they could not move their hands or feet. However, this feeling soon disappeared.

They knew that the person coming must be a big shot, so they hurriedly returned the Star Order, and one of them flew in to report. The other three people were all smiling and bowed respectfully to Song Chen. "Master, please wait a moment."

Song Chen folded his arms and smiled silently.

When he used mental pressure just now, he tried to mobilize the power of the law "sticky". Unexpectedly, he could actually mobilize a little bit of it. Even though it is just a scratch, the effect is surprisingly good. It not only shocks the target people, but also does not make them appear any strange.

After a while, the guard who went to report returned. "My lord, please! My master is waiting in the hall."

Song Chen didn't expect it to go so smoothly. In his imagination, there must be some guy like a housekeeper or a guard leader who would come out to continue to make things difficult. It seemed that the guard informed Gong Wending directly.

He had already learned from Zhao Zhongyu that Situ Haotian, the late master of the third hall of Shengwu Middle School, was not only Gong Wending's master, but also Mangyue Jinding's little fanboy.

Regardless of this relationship, it is easier for sects to interact with each other than with secular dynasties. Therefore, he did not intend to show General Tianwu's token and princess's seal ribbon, and it was enough to use the relationship of the Sacrifice Alliance.

The decoration style of Gong Mansion is a bit nondescript. It wants to be both luxurious and sentimental, but the result is nothing like the other two.

"Elder Gong, you are safe and sound!"

Song Chen said hello loudly before entering the hall.

This is what I learned from my eldest brother Ge Li. Before I even meet him, I let his voice be heard first. This kind of social skills will generally win the favor of the interviewees.

Gong Wending was wearing a set of white home clothes. His already short and fat figure looked even more bloated. With his bun and a small beard on his mouth, he looked a bit like an ancient island warrior.

Gong Wending was a little confused. He knew about the Star Order of the Sacrifice Alliance, but the young man in front of him was very unfamiliar, and he was sure he didn't know him.

There is no energy fluctuation in Song Chen's body, he is no different from ordinary people, but his temperament and demeanor are extraordinary.

Gong Wending was surprised. Could this young man be an expert in the late stage of the Ning Yuan Realm? How is this possible? As far as he knew, apart from Mang Yue Jinding, there were only a few middle-level Condensing Yuan realm members in the Sacrificial Alliance.

"I wonder what you mean by your late night visit?"

Gong Wending slightly clasped his fists and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

He has a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Condensing Yuan Realm, and he still has good vision and experience in the world. Since he can't determine the details of the young man in front of him, he simply pretends to be dumbfounded.

"Elder Gong is such a noble man who forgets things! I saw you at the priest Xing Gantian's house back then, but you don't recognize me so quickly?"

Song Chen is making nonsense. "Letting guests stand and talk like this is not your great elder's way of hospitality, right?"

Hearing what Song Chen said, Monk Gong Wending was a little confused. However, he was well-informed after all, and he returned to normal after losing his temper slightly. "Come here! Let's watch the tea."

A moment later, a female disciple who looked like a maid came in carrying tea. After seeing Song Chen's appearance clearly, she suddenly exclaimed: "Song Chen! Why is it you?!"
