Chapter 127 Preparation of the Elixir Completed

In the Boundless Forest, Zhu Lingyue was leading Chen Songxiao and Chen Songyan in cultivating the Wind Shadow Evasion Technique.

Although they had been in contact with the Xu Family these past few days, their cultivation could not be neglected.

By evening, Chen Songxiao achieved Minor Achievement today, and his mood instantly brightened. "Mother, I've cultivated this evasion technique to Minor Achievement!"

Now, the direct descendants of the Chen Family each had a copy of the Wind Shadow Evasion Technique. Seeing Chen Songxiao reach the goal first, Chen Songyan, who was cultivating alongside him, was dumbfounded. "Am I in last place again?"

Chen Songyan was numb. They cultivated together, so why was he the last one again? Now, even at her young age, Chen Songmei had already shown very strong Comprehension Ability.

He had truly become the bottom of the song generation; he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Second Brother, I'll help you!" Songxiao said confidently.

"Songyan, don't worry, we're all here with you!" Zhu Lingyue said, seeing Chen Songyan's anxiety.

"I'll have to trouble Mother and Fourth Brother then!"

...

Three months later, at Black Magpie Mountain, inside Chen Song Xuan's Immortal Cave, he popped another bottle of qi overflowing pills. That layer of his small Realm finally loosened—Qi Refining Sixth Layer!

During these months of consuming pills to Cultivate, he occasionally thought of his little follower, Chen Songmei, who followed him to learn culinary arts. He wondered how that little kid's cultivation and cooking were coming along.

She had said that after he came out of seclusion, she would cook something for him.

He wondered if his father had returned. Given his father's cautious and steady personality, he should be fine.

With his Eldest Sister and Mother at home, everything was likely as usual.

In the Boundless Forest, Chen Songyan finally cultivated the Wind Shadow Evasion Technique to Minor Achievement on this day.

It had cost him three months more than Chen Songxiao, and Chen Songyan remembered his mother's and Fourth Brother's companionship in his heart.

At this time, Zhu Lingyue suggested, "Let's use the Wind Shadow Evasion Technique to return to Black Magpie Mountain and see who's faster, haha!"

"Sure, Second Brother, don't hold back!"

Chen Songyan also happily agreed, "Alright."

...

When Chen Song Xuan exited his seclusion and reached the mountain's exterior, he saw his mother Zhu Lingyue, Chen Songyan, and Chen Songxiao flying toward him at high speed.

It wasn't until Zhu Lingyue used Divine Sense transmission from a distance that he realized they were racing with the Wind Shadow Evasion Technique. The sight had startled him; he thought someone was chasing them.

After coming out of seclusion, he found Chen Song Li and learned that his father was back in his Immortal Cave. However, he didn't disturb him; he also knew his father was preparing for the Golden Core.

Even if someone really did chase them to Black Magpie Mountain, he believed that with his father there, there would surely be a way.

Chen Songyan and the other two arrived simultaneously; he knew his mother and Fourth Brother were holding back.

"This Wind Shadow Evasion Technique is good. I'll start cultivating it once I reach the Late Stage Qi Refining," Chen Song Xuan said.

The group exchanged pleasantries as they entered the mountain together.

Inside the Great Sun Seed Cultivation Cave Mansion, Chen Li harvested another batch of five-hundred-year-old herbs. In these three months, he had refined over six hundred bottles of Foundation Establishment-level vitality replenishing pills, exhausting the related ripened herbs. With this new harvest, he could refine another batch.

Another three days passed. On this day, Zhu Lingyue visited the Lu Family in the county city.

Lu Xilou came out to greet her. Zhu Lingyue stated the purpose of her visit: she wanted to buy a mountain. The territory around Qingfeng Mountain had previously belonged to the Luo Family, and after the Luo Family fell, the Lu Family had taken over most of it.

Zhu Lingyue wanted to buy Dongbai Mountain near Qingfeng Mountain. It was close to Qingfeng Mountain and had a large territory, including ten mu of spirit fields, and the buildings were all complete, having been built by the Luo Family.

"Fine, no problem. We'll go by the normal market price."

Lu Xilou agreed readily. "Madam Chen, please give my regards to Patriarch Chen. I heard he returned after finishing an Alliance mission."

"Yes, he's been back for some time now. He said he would visit Family Head Lu when he has the time!"

"Haha, he's welcome anytime."

Lu Xilou scanned Zhu Lingyue's cultivation with his Divine Sense and found she was at the Seventh Level of Qi Refining. However, he saw that Zhu Lingyue exuded a natural composure and confidence, just like Chen Li.

This couple was a bit uncanny. If he couldn't afford to provoke them, couldn't he at least be their friend?

Zhu Lingyue paid nearly five thousand Spirit Stones on the spot, and both parties signed the agreement. Lu Xilou stated that the Lu Family's stationed Cultivators at Dongbai Mountain would withdraw within a day or two.

The Chen Family would take over Dongbai Mountain in three days.

Lu Xilou didn't doubt that the Chen Family could produce five thousand Spirit Stones. He saw that their Formation shop in the county city was selling very well, and Chen Li must have gained quite a lot from finishing the Alliance mission this time!

The two parties bid a polite farewell, both very satisfied. It was good to discuss things peacefully and have less fighting and killing.

Three days later, Zhu Lingyue and Chen Song Li brought several sets of Formations to take over. Their main task was to replace the Formations and install their own self-developed ones.

Chen Songyan also went along. After chatting with Xu Yunqiu over these months, Chen Songyan felt that she didn't make too many demands and had a good character; they were essentially of one mind.

Seeing that this marriage was going to happen, Zhu Lingyue also began making preparations.

Dongbai Mountain would be the place where Chen Songyan and Xu Yunqiu would live in the future. The buildings were complete, and drawing a few Non-Clan Cultivators from Qingfeng Mountain to manage things would be enough.

However, after they married, they would be members of the Chen Family. They could return to Black Magpie Mountain anytime, and a teleportation room for Dongbai Mountain had been added to the Formation Comprehensive Building, making it very convenient.

Dongbai Mountain was quickly fitted with the Chen Family's Formations, and warning Formation devices were placed in the surrounding environment, connected to the warning Formation System on the second floor of the Black Magpie Mountain Formation Comprehensive Building.

A month later, the Chen Family and the Xu Family announced their union. The wedding banquet was announced to be held six months later at Dongbai Mountain within Liangxi County.

Chen Li also learned of this in his Immortal Cave. He had just finished refining another batch of vitality replenishing pills.

He now had over a thousand bottles of Foundation Establishment-level vitality replenishing pills accumulated; the pills for condensing the Qi of Returning to the Origin were sufficient.

After refining for several months, it was time to come out for some fresh air and activity, and to make time to attend Chen Songyan's wedding.

Upon exiting seclusion and looking at the scenery in the mountain, it was autumn once again. Black Magpie Mountain was filled with the breath of autumn.

By the fish pond at the foot of the mountain, Chen Li was fishing again.

It was that same fishing rod with zero added immortal skills and that same wooden lounge chair. A fish took the bait, and Chen Li pulled the rod.

Time flew by. Chen Li spent these few months fishing, relaxing, and visiting the Cultivation Market.

He and Zhu Lingyue met Xu Yunqiu once; she had also come to Black Magpie Mountain once, and the betrothal gifts from both sides had been settled.

The Chen Family's betrothal gift was a set of Grade Three Formations, three bottles of qi overflowing pills, and one thousand Spirit Stones.

The Xu Family's dowry was a Grade Three Talisman and three thousand catties of spirit rice.

Soon, half a year passed, and the auspicious day arrived.

Today, Dongbai Mountain was filled with the sound of gongs and drums. Most families in the county had sent representatives.

Chen Songyan was dressed very smartly. Dongbai Mountain was decorated in red, and little Chen Songmei was dressed very festively. All the members of the song generation had come.

Xu Yunqiu was welcomed into Dongbai Mountain by the brothers and sisters of the song generation.

Brother Ox didn't come as he was guarding Black Magpie Mountain. Most of the spiritual food for the banquet was Chen Song Xuan's masterpiece, and the guests ate very happily.

Chen Li and the Xu Family's head also chatted for a bit; both sides were very satisfied with this marriage.

As the sky grew dark, the excitement died down, the guests gradually dispersed, and Chen Songyan's wedding was complete.

Life returned to peace. Chen Songyan lived permanently at Dongbai Mountain, though he would still come over to Cultivate together, occasionally bringing Xu Yunqiu with him.

White clouds drifted by. Three months had passed since Chen Songyan's wedding, and the Chen Family announced to the outside world that Chen Li was in seclusion and would not see guests.

Inside the Great Sun Seed Cultivation Cave Mansion, Chen Li had adjusted his physical and mental state over these past few months and officially entered seclusion.

He took out the Five Qi Towards Oneness Mirror Breaking Method Cultivation Technique and began to open a Foundation Establishment Qi Sea within his body, attempting to condense the Foundation Establishment Qi of Returning to the Origin.
