112: Chapter 112 Fatherly Love as Solid as a Mountain, Plotting to Obtain the Spiritual Vein

“Husband, look, what is this?”

Chen Qingyuan took the jade box and examined it carefully, but couldn't see any clues yet!

“This is... a Bloodline Sealing Box?”

It was Xie Xinxuan who recognized the item at a glance!

“This box must be opened with a specific Bloodline Power. If one forcefully breaks the Restriction, the Restriction inside will instantly self-destruct, and the treasure inside will vanish along with it...”

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyuan felt something in his heart. He bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of bright red blood onto the indentation on the lid.

The moment the blood touched the jade box, a sudden change occurred.

The blood quickly seeped into the jade box and spread along the patterns.

“Click—”

With a soft sound, the jade box opened in response.

Inside the box was lined with purple silk, and in the center was a yellowed letter. Beside the letter were three round crystals the size of thumbs.

They emitted majestic vitality and pure Earth Qi.

“Earth Core Jade Marrow!”

Xie Xinxuan couldn't help but exclaim!

This item was condensed from the essence of the earth and belonged to the essence of Wutu. It had the effect of cleansing the marrow and optimizing Spiritual Roots.

It was also a supreme treasure for Cultivating earth-type Divine Abilities and refining Magic Treasures; even a Golden Core Cultivator would be moved upon seeing it.

Yet, one wondered how Chen Renhai, who was only a Qi Refining Cultivator at the time, obtained it, and how he managed to find a precious Bloodline Sealing Box to preserve it!

Chen Qingyuan unfolded the letter paper with trembling hands.

“My son Qingyuan, seeing these words is like seeing me.

If you read this letter, your father has likely already embarked on that path of no return.

The immortal path is long, and one walks the Dao alone. Even with Golden Core Major Achievement or attaining the Nascent Soul, one can hardly escape the fate of Reincarnation.

This is the will of heaven; my son need not be sad.

You have been intelligent since childhood with outstanding Aptitude, far surpassing your father in the past.

I only leave you one word: the immortal path is rugged; you must move forward with a heart of tempering and uphold your true self.

The spiritual spring below and the Earth Core Jade Marrow are the last thoughts I could prepare for you. May they help you have fewer setbacks and more composure on this path.

The Dao is vast, my son, take care.

Your father is always proud of you.

Father Renhai, written in finality!”

“Father...”

A father's love like a mountain!

Since he could remember, his father had never spoken a single soft or gentle word!

Yet, he never expected that this love had long since turned into the earnest instructions at the tip of the pen and into this spiritual spring.

In this scene, Xie Jinshu couldn't help but gently hold his hand.

Xie Xinxuan let out a long sigh and fell into a long silence.

Time flew by, and two months passed in a flash.

During these two months, Lifeng Plain ushered in its bloodiest time.

The speed of the Liu Family's actions far exceeded everyone's imagination. Even the Chen Family would have been almost wiped out if not for Xie Jinshu's powerful strength at the time!

Others naturally did not have such good luck!

Those who ran fast were fine, but anyone who was slightly slow in their actions could only become nutrients and be taken away by the Corpse Fiend Sect.

Around the once-prosperous Shazhou Workshop, there were now only broken walls and resentment reaching the sky.

Looking around, the only places that could still hold on were Shazhou Workshop and Luzhou Mountain.

At this moment, these two islands on the wasteland were also trapped in heavy encirclement.

Luzhou Mountain!

A brand-new Second Grade Low Grade mountain-protecting Formation rose from the ground.

This Formation was called “Azure Wood Profound Light Formation”, which was tailor-made by Xie Xinxuan based on the characteristics of the Luzhou Mountain Spiritual Vein.

It usually relied on the First Grade High Grade Spiritual Vein to operate, with its brilliance restrained like clouds covering the mountain;

If a strong enemy attacked, it could draw on the power of the spiritual spring behind the mountain, doubling the power of the Formation and turning it into a true Second Grade Formation, which would be difficult for an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator to shake.

On this day, the weather was clear.

In the small courtyard where the Chen Family was temporarily staying on Luzhou Mountain!

Chen Qingyuan was playing chess with Xie Xinxuan at the stone table in the courtyard.

Not far away, Xie Jinshu, dressed in green, was guiding Chen Yansu, Chen Yanchuan, and Big Tooth Dong's pair of children in their Cultivation!

Chen Yanchuan was just ten years old and had been tested a few days ago to have Gold, Wood, and Fire Spiritual Roots. He was considered to have superior Aptitude in the entire Chen Family, and he was currently trying hard to guide Qi into his body!

Big Tooth Dong's pair of children, his son Dong Xiaohu, also ten years old, had a lively nature and had four Spiritual Roots;

His daughter, Dong Xiaoyu, was twelve years old, quiet and obedient, and also had four Spiritual Roots.

“Thump, thump, thump!!”

A burst of heavy footsteps broke the silence!

“Damn it, are these people crazy?!”

Amidst the rough complaints, Chen Qingshan and Big Tooth Dong returned covered in dust!

Behind them followed Chen Yanhu and Lu Yao, both looking unwell!

Big Tooth Dong sat on a stone bench and couldn't help but clamor,

“Qingyuan, Old Revered Master! You don't know, those bastards from the Liu Family came to die again today. How many times is this? They charge at the Formation and run away, leaving behind a few corpses. What is this supposed to mean?!”

Chen Qingyuan's eyes remained on the chessboard, he picked up a black piece and dropped it with a “snap”, his voice calm,

“Perhaps, they just want to die.”

“Ah?”

Big Tooth Dong was stunned.

Chen Qingyuan ignored him and turned to look at Old Master Xie,

“Old Revered Master, what do you think they are trying to do by acting this way?”

Xie Xinxuan stroked his beard and pondered, the white piece hovering undecided,

“What else could it be? They are overstuffed and need to hide to digest it...”

Chen Qingshan, who was on the side, immediately lit up and couldn't help but interject,

“Then should we be preparing too?”

“Indeed.”

However, these words fell into Big Tooth Dong's ears, making him rub his head in frustration,

“Digest? Prepare? I hate talking to you people, it's so confusing!”

Chen Qingshan laughed and kicked him,

“Don't interrupt, it's your own lack of progress!”

“You...”

Chen Qingyuan had already taken out a Jade Slip, stimulated it with spiritual power, and a miniature map appeared,

“I have chosen two Spiritual Veins. One is a hundred miles west of Luzhou Mountain, ‘Qingshi Mountain’, a First Grade Medium Grade. The second is three hundred miles north, there is a ‘Black Rock Valley’, a First Grade High Grade that was originally a Liu Family Spiritual Vein. After this battle ends, the Liu Family will surely become a thing of the past, and we can just take it!”

As he said this, he sighed with some regret,

“Unfortunately, we don't have many people now, and being able to steadily take these two places is already not easy!”

Meanwhile, on the peak of a barren mountain a few miles outside Luzhou Mountain.

A figure in a blood robe stood with his hands behind his back, his whole body exuding a chilling Yin Sha Qi. It was the Corpse Fiend Sect Young Lord — Blood Fiend.

Looking far away at the mountain range of Luzhou Mountain covered by clouds and mist, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“Second Grade mountain-protecting Formation... I didn't expect that in this godforsaken place, there would be someone capable of setting up such a Formation.”

As the voice fell!

The space beside him twisted, and a person looking like a seven or eight-year-old child appeared out of thin air!

Who else could it be but that Demon Child!

Seeing him bow respectfully in front of Blood Fiend,

“Young Lord, do you want your subordinate to make a move and test the depth of this Formation?”

Blood Fiend shook his head slowly,

“No need, now is the critical moment of Revered Master's plan, it is not easy to create extra trouble. This hard bone is just right to leave to Heaven-Reaching Sand to worry about, and it can also distract some external attention for us.”

“Has the matter that Revered Master asked you to investigate been cleared up?”

His voice was not high, but when it fell into the Demon Child's ears, his body trembled immediately,

“Subordinate is incompetent! That group of people acted extremely carefully and left no traces. But observing the situation on the Red Willow Lake side, this group of people should not have leaked this matter, and there is currently no unusual movement.”

Perhaps because the plan was progressing smoothly, Blood Fiend was exceptionally easy to talk to today!

“Forget it.”

“Since that's the case, this place has no value, we should go too!”

As the voice fell, the figures of the two gradually faded, as if merging into the wind, and disappeared.
