175: Chapter 175 Goes Further

"Father." Chen Lingxi arrived at this time as well.

Chen Changqing looked over. Although this little girl still looked slightly green, she was already budding into a beauty.

Seven parts resembled her mother, and three parts resembled himself.

"Mm, have you been doing well these past years?" Chen Changqing responded with a smile, and then asked about her experiences over the years.

Chen Lingxi recounted her experiences over the years to Chen Changqing one by one.

However, she had never left home, so most of her time had been spent in seclusion.

Possessing a Water Spiritual Root and Water Spiritual Body, even though she cultivated the Greater Yin Profound Water Art, cultivating was as simple as eating a meal for her.

Taking only ten years of cultivation, her cultivation base had already reached the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. If it weren't for continuing to polish her own magic power, she might have already reached Foundation Establishment.

Similarly, this little girl was also proud and arrogant; her goal was likewise a Peerless Grade Foundation. Who knew if all the Cultivators of the Chen Family shared the same temperament, as most of them possessed an unyielding resilience.

"Father, I want to go to Qingyang Mountain with you for a while. What do you think?" Chen Lingxi asked.

"Mm… That's fine. When you undergo Foundation Establishment, Father will help guard the gate for you." Chen Changqing nodded and said.

Originally, he had thought about helping both Chen Lingtong and Chen Lingxi guard the gate when they underwent Foundation Establishment. As a result, Chen Lingtong still had no news, so he could only observe Chen Lingxi first.

Chen Changqing stayed at Wuyue Mountain for a period, accompanying his parents and younger sister before leaving. Wuyue Mountain did not need him to worry too much now, as there were four Foundation Establishment Cultivators here, including Chen Xuanyi.

Li Taixuan had also not returned for a dozen years. He learned from Chen Changqing that his Family's current situation was not very good either. Fortunately, Li Qingying was quite striving and had already begun preparing for Foundation Establishment.

Now, for the entire Li Family, if Li Qingying successfully achieved Foundation Establishment, the Li Family could at least preserve its status as a Foundation Establishment Family. If she failed, they would have to rely on the Chen Family for relief in the future.

This was also the most helpless time for a Family.

The Zhou Family and the Wang Family were the same. After using foundation establishment pills, neither of the two families had any clansmen successfully reach Foundation Establishment.

As for the Liu Family attached to the Chen Family, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator appeared two years ago. That Foundation Establishment Cultivator was Liu Wuxie. He had made many contributions to the Chen Family, and with these contributions, he exchanged for quite a few resources from the Chen Family, and then used these resources to auction for a foundation establishment pill in Qinghe Market. He relied on this to achieve Foundation Establishment.

What the Chen Family did not expect was that after achieving Foundation Establishment, Liu Wuxie actually defied all opinions within his Family and resolutely continued to follow the pace of the Chen Family.

Now the Chen Family was dominant throughout Qinghe County, and no Family dared to confront the Chen Family. Especially since the families following the Chen Family had all gained quite a few benefits, many Qi Refining families now closely followed the pace of the Chen Family.

Among them, even the subordinate families of the former Zhao Family responded one after another to join the Chen Family.

Naturally, the Chen Family welcomed all without fear. If it were before, they wouldn't even dare to think about it, but now things were different. Chen Changqing had obtained a ziyu pill; as long as there were no accidents, opening the Purple Mansion and achieving the Realm of a Master was just around the corner.

By then, the entire Qinghe County would naturally be under the control of the Chen Family. The territory of a county could also barely support a Purple Mansion Family.

Another ten days passed, and Chen Changqing and the other finally returned to Qingyang Mountain.

During this period, he had to try to start preparing to open the Purple Mansion.

As long as he reached the Purple Mansion, even if it were the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, he would dare to fight them head-on.

As for Chen Yuanwen and Chen Changyue, now that Zhao Tiangang had died, the heart-corroding poison of these two people had to be resolved.

Otherwise, once the heart-corroding pill took effect, the two of them would definitely die.

Chen Changqing had also spoken to Li Qingling about this matter. Their Sect was currently researching the antidote for the heart-corroding pill.

According to what Li Qingling knew, it had currently reached the final critical juncture. As long as the subsequent experiments went smoothly, it should be able to be refined.

Moreover, Chen Yuanwen and the other had more than half a year left before the heart-corroding pill took effect.

…

Coming to Qingyang Mountain for the first time, Chen Lingxi felt a bit excited.

She strolled through the places where her parents and grandparents used to live before leaving with lingering eagerness.

"Father, are you going to start seclusion again?" Chen Lingxi asked in confusion.

"Mm. A while ago, Father had a sudden flash of insight. This time, after polishing my cultivation base to the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, I will use the ziyu pill to start charging towards the Purple Mansion Stage." Chen Changqing said calmly.

"Father… You are going to charge towards the Purple Mansion?" Chen Lingxi was surprised. Before she stepped into immortal cultivation, she didn't have much of a feeling for these Realms.

But ever since she cultivated for the first time, she felt the difficulty. Even though her cultivation speed was already extremely fast, she still needed a year to advance a layer during the Qi Refinement Stage.

For others, it might take several years or ten years to advance a single layer.

As for the Foundation Establishment Stage, for the vast majority of Cultivators, it could take a long time of ten to twenty years for a single layer to possibly be reached.

And this was under the condition of not encountering a Bottleneck. If one encountered a Bottleneck, they might even stay at that level for a lifetime.

But Father was completely different from others. It felt like he had never encountered a Bottleneck in his cultivation, and even walked faster and faster. It seemed that Father had only entered the Foundation Establishment Stage for a little over twenty years, and now he was going to try charging towards the Purple Mansion.

This was simply unimaginable. If this speed were maintained all along, wouldn't he be able to try charging towards the Golden Core before reaching a hundred years old in the future?

Thinking this, she also began to enter seclusion. She wanted to break through to Foundation Establishment earlier, so that she could provide more strength for the Family, sparing her parents from always running east and west for the Family.

…

Spring passed and autumn came; three years blinked by.

Over these three years, the Yuxu Sect successfully refined the antidote for the heart-corroding pill and distributed it to the Cultivators below who were controlled by the heart-corroding pill.

During this period, Cultivators constantly reported secrets. No one wanted to hand their lives over to the Anti-Immortal Alliance. To cope with this situation, the Anti-Immortal Alliance had also taken action a few times, wiping out several forces.

However, under the counterattack of the Yuxu Sect, they were ambushed a few times, resulting in heavy casualties. Facing the general trend, they could only accept the current situation.

Furthermore, the Chen Family also obtained some heart-corroding pills, and Chen Changqing directly had Chen Yuanwen and the other take them. Fortunately, Li Qingling had given a portion of them first when the heart-corroding pills were refined, helping them detoxify before the heart-corroding pills took effect on the two.

Following closely was Chen Changqing breaking through to the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment. And in this year, he was fifty years old.

In a mere thirty years, he had elevated his cultivation base to such a degree. This was one of the benefits brought by the Flawless Foundation.

On the other hand, Chen Xuanyi had achieved Foundation Establishment a few years earlier than him, yet his cultivation base was still at the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Over these three years, Chen Lingxi also broke through to Foundation Establishment. With Chen Changqing's help, she forged a Peerless Grade Foundation in one go. Originally, she had also wanted to forge a Flawless Foundation, but unfortunately, she failed at the very last hurdle.

Just a tiny bit short. If there were a shengling pill to assist, she would have a hundred percent chance of entering it. Now she could only look to future opportunities. If she could find a Heaven And Earth Treasure for her in the future, perhaps it could help her make up for the flaws in her foundation, allowing her foundation to truly become a Flawless Foundation.

Among all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Chen Family now, Chen Changqing had the highest cultivation base, possessing the cultivation of the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, followed by Li Qingling, whose cultivation was at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

After that was Chen Xuanyi at the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment, as well as Chen Changyue at the Perfection of the Second Layer of Foundation Establishment, and Chen Changjie at the Second Layer of Foundation Establishment.

The rest, such as Chen Lingyang, Chen Yuanwen, and Chen Changxuan, were still lingering at the First Layer of Foundation Establishment.

As for Chen Lingxi, she had only just reached Foundation Establishment for a year. No matter how fast her cultivation speed was, it was very difficult to suddenly elevate her cultivation base by a layer.

As for Wuyue Mountain, Chen Changyue also successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment. Chen Changyue's identity was special; she was not only Chen Changqing's biological younger sister, but also a Formation Master. As long as her cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, she could refine Tier 2 Formations, which would be of certain help to the entire Chen Family by then.
