199: Chapter Migration
Old Freak Huangsha was also at the Golden Core Completion Realm, but he didn't plan to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation, so he had no conflict with the Li Family.
However, if he, like Chen Qingyuan, also needed to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation, he would definitely be obstructed by the Li Family.
Because the Li Family would absolutely not allow a Nascent Soul Family to appear in this Southern Corner Region; even if bound by a Dao Heart Oath, they would be unwilling.
After all, if a Family had a Nascent Soul cultivator overseeing it, its development would definitely be incredibly rapid, and the possibility of its descendants breaking through to higher Realms would be higher. Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator was restricted by a Dao Heart Oath and didn't seize the Li Family's Third-Order Spirit Vein, their descendants wouldn't have such restrictions.
Therefore, for the Li Family's long-term peace and stability, it was better for everyone to remain in the Golden Core Realm.
Of course, there were Nascent Soul cultivators in the Southern Corner Region, but those Nascent Soul cultivators had all traveled across the boundless Han Sea aboard massive covered ships, so they naturally looked down on desolate backwaters like the Southern Corner Region.
Sooner or later, they would return to the cultivation Holy Land on the other side of the boundless Han Sea, where resources were abundant.
Like the Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he only stationed here for ten years before rotating out and leaving.
Therefore, the Li Family would obstruct Chen Qingyuan from undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation. Old Freak Huangsha was clear that if he didn't make a push, when Huang Houtu reached the Golden Core Completion Realm in the future, unless he chose to leave the Southern Corner Region, he would also face difficulties from the Li Family if he wanted to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
Since that was the case, when his lifespan was nearing its end, why not go crazy once and destroy the Li Family, which occupied the place of destiny in the Southern Corner Region?
"Once Brother Chen finishes dealing with all his troubles, I can discuss this matter with him," Old Freak Huangsha mused in his heart.
The Li Family only had two Golden Core cultivators; however, both were in the Late Golden Core Realm. Although they were not as strong as Golden Core Completion, when they joined forces, even a Golden Core Completion Cultivator would have to temporarily avoid their edge.
However, if Chen Qingyuan could join forces with Old Freak Huangsha, as long as they didn't act on that Third-Order Spirit Vein, they could easily eliminate the two of them.
"Alas, what a pity. That Li family Old Ancestor is inseparable, and above the Third-Order Spirit Vein, there's also a High Grade Third-Order grand formation. If they don't leave the Spirit Vein, there's nothing we can do," Old Freak Huangsha sighed, knowing that this matter required the right timing, geographical advantage, and harmony among people to succeed.
Logically speaking, with Chen Qingyuan's current cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm, crushing those provocatively testing him would be effortless. However, he chose sharp words, implying a strategy to lure the snake out of its hole.
After all, if the Li family Old Ancestor left the grand formation of the Han Sea Spirit Vein, with Chen Qingyuan's Nascent Soul cultivation, he could suppress him with a backhand.
At this moment, within the Qingya Mountain Range, Chen Jiancang also received the notification for the Chen Family to withdraw from the Spirit Vein.
"What, have us withdraw to the Main Spiritual Vein as soon as possible?" Chen Jiancang looked at the dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Chen Family gathered outside the Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein, a look of confusion on his face.
"Could it be that the Old Ancestor failed to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"
Chen Jiancang's expression became very unsightly, but based on the strange phenomena from the direction of Qixia Mountain that day, the Old Ancestor should have broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
After all, after the thunder and lightning, a sweet rain descended, which was exactly the same as the strange phenomenon of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm recorded in the secret texts collected by the Chen Family.
"This..." Chen Jiancang hesitated. After all, the yellow bell flower he had painstakingly planted for a year was about to mature. If he withdrew from the Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein now, all his previous efforts and waiting would be in vain.
After all, once the Chen Family withdrew from the Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein, all the resources left behind in the Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein would be plundered by those rogue Cultivators.
The yellow bell flower planted by Chen Jiancang would be no exception.
Chen Jiancang was naturally unwilling to accept such a result. After all, the maturity of the yellow bell flower had already reached 99.99%.
Perhaps the yellow bell flower would mature tomorrow. As long as he harvested the yellow bell flower, he could gain experience in refining foundation establishment pills. Once the foundation establishment pills were successfully refined, he could go into seclusion and attempt Foundation Establishment.
But now, the Chen Family's order to withdraw disrupted all his plans.
He didn't know the current situation of the Chen Family. Earlier, he had heard that some clansmen from remote Spirit Veins had withdrawn to the Main Spiritual Vein, but he hadn't paid attention. He thought that with the Old Ancestor overseeing things, it shouldn't be a major issue.
But he hadn't expected the clansmen's relocation work to reach the Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein so quickly. This time, the Chen Family even dispatched ten Foundation Establishment cultivators to escort the relocation work.
"Could it be that something major has happened?"
If all the Chen Family clansmen had withdrawn, he naturally couldn't stay here alone. After all, compared to his own life safety, what did the yellow bell flower count for?
At worst, he would delay Foundation Establishment by another year, or directly use the opportunity for Foundation Establishment that the Chen Family had promised him.
"According to the clansmen's situation, they probably can't pack up all the supplies within a day. I hope these yellow bell flowers can mature before we leave," Chen Jiancang thought helplessly, only able to pray in his heart.
Chen Jiancang harvested all the other spiritual plants in the Spirit Field that had not yet matured. Although these spiritual plants were not 100% mature and harvesting them wouldn't yield rewards, they could be used in medicine. Even if they weren't mature, Chen Jiancang wouldn't leave these spiritual plants and medicinal herbs for others.
At this moment, Chen Jiancang stood guard beside the Spirit Field, checking the maturity of the yellow bell flower from time to time.
But the yellow bell flower remained at 99.99%. No matter how anxious he was, it didn't change at all.
At this time, within the Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein, the Foundation Establishment cultivators were anxiously urging the Chen Family clansmen to pack their belongings.
"Oh dear, Uncle-Clan Yinsheng, what time is it? Why are you still thinking of taking this earth-pig you raised? Quickly slaughter it and put it in your storage bag."
"Sister-in-law Shi, this qinghe rice isn't mature yet. Why are you cutting it? Quickly pack other things. We'll come back later, and it won't be too late to harvest then."
The Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall in the Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein were also assisting with the relocation, watching the actions of the clansmen. They couldn't help but try to persuade them.
"What happened to the Chen Family? Why are they suddenly telling us to move? If we harvest this qinghe rice now, it can still be used to make talismans. If we leave it here, won't it benefit those rogue Cultivators after we're gone? Wait for me for an hour, I'll harvest it first."
Similar scenes were happening throughout the Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein. These low-level clansmen of the Chen Family didn't know the severity of the situation. They only thought it was the Chen Family's arrangement and didn't guess the deeper meaning hidden behind it.
Only a few Chen Family clansmen seemed to have thought of something. Daring not to delay in the slightest, they quickly packed some important items and headed to where the Chen Family had prepared the spiritual boat, leaving by boat.
At this time, several Golden Core Cultivators were hidden high in the sky, looking down. They didn't take any action, but from their expressions, one could see greedy looks like those of jackals.
"Haha, if Chen Qingyuan wasn't dead, why would these Chen clansmen be relocating with such great effort?"
"Everyone, should we go down and loot the Chen clansmen in this Xiaoyun Mountain Spirit Vein? Although mosquitoes are small, they're still meat!" one person suggested.
"Hmph, let's not bother. Don't alert the snake by beating the grass. Let's wait until all the Chen clansmen are gathered together before making a move. Then we can catch them all in one swoop. If we alarm the Chen Family now and let them escape with their clansmen, wouldn't that be our loss?"
What they didn't know was that at this moment, Chen Qingyuan was hidden in the higher layers of clouds and mist, silently watching the figures of these few people, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
