303: Chapter 303 Sword Name, Listening to the Waves

When the lazy man looked at Chen Changqing, his eyes suddenly flashed with bright light.

"You?" He stepped forward, and before the two of them could react, a palm pressed onto Chen Changqing's head.

Li Qingling was shocked. She raised the baizhou sword in her hand, pointed it at the lazy man, and said angrily, "Let go of him."

"Stop, it's fine. If Senior wanted to deal with us, it wouldn't be this troublesome," Chen Changqing explained.

"Senior, apologies. It was my wife's fault; I will apologize on her behalf first."

"No harm done."

As the two spoke, Li Qingling still couldn't set her mind at ease. However, under Chen Changqing's repeated insistence, she still put down the baizhou sword in her hand.

After a moment, the lazy man retracted his hand and said in surprise, "How strange, your Purple Mansion can actually reach this extent."

"And there is a soul on your body! It seems your opportunities have been quite good all these years."

Hearing this, Chen Changqing and Li Qingling were inwardly shocked. In just this short moment, the other party had thoroughly figured out his situation.

Fortunately, his dao bead was not discovered.

"Your name is Chen Changqing, right?" The lazy man spoke solemnly for the first time, his expression serious and no longer as casual as before.

"Yes, Senior." Chen Changqing nodded.

"Mn, I'll give you two choices. First, pass three assessments to join my sect; second, die right now." Speaking of the second choice, the lazy man's tone suddenly changed, and the surrounding air even became a bit chilling.

Chen Changqing and Li Qingling immediately became tense as a chill quietly crept up their backs. Feeling this ultimate coldness, the two felt as if they would die in the next moment.

"I choose the first one." Chen Changqing shook his head and said helplessly.

Saying there were two choices, in reality there was only one.

He wasn't stupid; he just didn't know what disadvantages there would be in joining the other party's sect.

But first, he had to survive this ordeal.

"Mn, not bad, kid, good vision." The lazy man resumed his previous casualness, looked at the two, and smiled.

"Since you are willing to join my sect, from now on you will call me Fifth Senior Brother. Fifth Senior Brother's name is Huo Ming," the lazy man said indifferently.

"Right, the first assessment is very simple: become a Golden Core Master. You must become a Golden Core Master before two hundred years of age, otherwise you will receive punishment from the sect."

Become a Golden Core before two hundred years of age?

Chen Changqing and the other were shocked. This was the first assessment?

Moreover, looking at Huo Ming, he didn't seem to be joking.

"Of course, completing the assessment will naturally have rewards, but that will have to wait until you finish it. Also, as a newly admitted Disciple, Revered Master always gives two treasures. One of them is this token, which will make it convenient for you to meet other people from the sect in the future so that they won't accidentally attack the wrong person."

"The second is..." He took out a long sword and casually handed it to Chen Changqing.

This sword was unexpectedly the Tingtao Sword that He Buyu had previously seized.

"This sword is one of the treasures I casually snatched... cough cough, specially collected. Although it is only a prototype of a Magic Treasure, it is just right for you," Huo Ming continued.

"Fifth Senior Brother, what about that He Buyu?" Chen Changqing asked with a face full of surprise.

Huo Ming seemed to enjoy the shocked expressions on the two people's faces, purposely keeping them in suspense before saying, "Oh, you mean that guy? That old thing was casually slashed to death by me."

Chen Changqing and Li Qingling looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Before the two could react, he pointed out a finger, and this finger pointed directly at Li Qingling.

Immediately, Li Qingling's gaze became somewhat dull. After Huo Ming lowered his finger, Li Qingling seemed to enter a strange state.

"Senior Brother doesn't have much to help you with. Junior Brother, your wife's Divine Soul talent is very high. Since that's the case, as your elder brother, I have imparted a visualization technique to her."

Chen Changqing nodded.

After a while, Li Qingling came back to her senses and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior, for the grace of imparting this technique."

"Alright, I'm leaving. Remember, become a Golden Core Master before two hundred years of age. As long as you complete the three assessments, you will naturally be the youngest in our sect. So I won't waste words with you anymore, goodbye." The lazy man vanished in the blink of an eye, and Chen Changqing and his wife could completely not tell how he disappeared.

"Brother, do you think this Senior Huo might have had his eyes on you for a long time?" Li Qingling asked.

"Yeah, otherwise everything is too coincidental. I just don't know when Senior Brother set his eyes on me?" Chen Changqing wondered.

He hadn't expected that just returning to Yunxia City and being about to leave, there would still be such a huge Opportunity.

Not only did he obtain the Magic Treasure prototype that Heiyuan Valley and Tianli Sect desperately wanted to acquire, but even Li Qingling also obtained a visualization technique.

This visualization technique was named the Zhou Tian Stars Visualization Technique.

This technique had a total of nine layers, but when Huo Ming imparted it, there were only the first three layers.

However, the first three layers were already enough to use, because every time a layer was successfully cultivated, the Divine Soul would grow by double on top of the initial foundation. Cultivating all three layers to completion would grow it threefold, which was already quite outrageous.

If the entire set of Cultivation Techniques was successfully practiced, the resulting Divine Soul amplification would probably be even more terrifying. The throats of the two unconsciously rolled.

After a while, they left the teahouse. This time, they were going back to Yan Country.

They wondered if their parents were doing well.

Calculating the time, Father's limit was also within these few years, and Mother was about the same.

...

Over six years had passed since Chen Changqing and his wife left Yan Country. In these six years, the Family's development had been thriving.

At the back mountain of Qingyang Mountain, inside Chen Lingxi's Immortal Cave.

Whoosh~

After Chen Lingxi finished cultivating, the massive amount of water Spiritual Qi around her instantly dissipated after losing traction.

"I've finally reached this step," she said happily.

Six years ago, her cultivation was still at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment. Yet six years later, she was at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Yet she was only fifty years old now.

One of the reasons she cultivated so fast, besides her own Heavenly Spiritual Root, was even more because of her Water Spirit Physique.

The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Spiritual Root itself was already extraordinary, and with the Water Spirit Physique providing another amplification, it caused her cultivation to always achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Especially for Cultivators with the Heavenly Spiritual Root, they could enter the Zifu Stage one hundred percent of the time, as long as they didn't die prematurely midway.

Hum!

She walked out of the Immortal Cave. In recent years, she had been entirely focused on cultivating and didn't ask much about external affairs, so she wanted to go to the ancestral hall to take a look first.

In the ancestral hall, most of the time only Chen Yuanwen was holding down the fort. He rarely underwent secluded cultivation now and almost entirely handled Family affairs. As the third Family member to achieve Foundation Establishment, he was already very slow being only at the second layer of Foundation Establishment now.

But he couldn't be blamed either; he had sacrificed a great deal for the Family. If not for him swallowing his pride decades ago, Qingyang Mountain would have been destroyed by Zhao Tiangang.

As for Chen Changyue, he currently didn't have much value to the Zilong Sect, so they couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him either.

As long as Chen Changyue didn't violate his original oath, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Tenth Uncle, our Family's development towards the Wanshou Mountain Range has extended another three hundred miles in recent years. Should we continue to occupy new territory?" Inside the ancestral hall, someone said.

"Mn, I know. Starting this year, the Family will no longer continue to develop in the direction of the Wanshou Mountain Range. What we need most right now is to consolidate our current territory. Lingfeng, you handle this matter." Chen Yuanwen looked at a young man.
