Taiyin Pavilion.
Hua Nongyu and her daughter both breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to the relaxed look on Old Lady Hua's face, there was also a barely perceptible solemnity.
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"To be honest."
Old Lady Hua sighed, "After discovering Nong Yue's changes, I asked the Hua family to prepare for the worst."
"Recall the tribesmen and collect a large amount of daily necessities."
"Although we now know that Nong Yue is safe, she cannot come out for the time being, and my life span..."
Old Lady Hua smiled bitterly, "Nongyu's realm is not high enough to control the building ship. I plan to use the last time to drive the building ship to the deeper part of the sea."
"Is that so?"
Xu Chong pondered for a moment, looked at Hua Nongyu and Sun Yourong, and asked, "What realm are you in now?"
Hua Nongyu: "Ningying third level."
Sun Yourong: "Seventh level of Jindan ."
"oh?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows.
The realms of these two people have made a considerable leap compared to what he had known before.
I guess he has been practicing with all his strength during this period.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chong said: "Although my current strength is more than enough to protect the Hua family, but given the Hua family's style of doing things, you should hope to be stronger..."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Hua was stunned.
She really wanted to tell Xu Chong that the Hua family was in great need of shelter...
Why did she act so solemn just now?
Isn't it just a covert attempt to seek asylum?
As for self-reliance, how can it be as important as family inheritance?
Not to mention, now she already knows the glorious origins of the Hua family.
That is the Yin Meridian of the Yin Yang Palace!
The Hua family is as famous as the Daqing royal family and is much higher than the six major families. Even the three ancient clans cannot surpass the Hua family in terms of origin.
In comparison, whether it is self-esteem or face, what is more important than inheriting the Yin meridian?
Old Lady Hua looked conflicted. She wanted to speak, but felt embarrassed to do so.
After all, Xu Chong also has his own things to do, so how could he stay in the Hua family forever...
Just as she was struggling, Xu Chong finished speaking the rest of his words.
"Similarly, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. If the Yin Meridian wants to grow stronger, it cannot always rely on others."
Xu Chong smiled and said, "I will promote both of you to the sixth level of Nascent Soul."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them were stunned.
Old Lady Hua thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Are you talking about the Tianling Pill?"
"no."
Xu Chong shook his head. "The Tianling Pill can indeed forcibly improve one's realm, but unless it is a blood relative, it is best not to use it. What's more, I don't have the Tianling Pill."
After a pause after explaining, Xu Chong looked at the two of them and said, "You two close your eyes, relax your mind, and don't resist at all."
Although they didn't understand why, the two chose to believe Xu Chong and did as he said.
Old Lady Hua didn't dare to disturb him at all, so she just stared with wide eyes, looking at him with great curiosity.
Without the use of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, one can improve one's realm out of thin air?
Not only had she never thought about this kind of thing, she had never even heard of it.
Is it some kind of magical power similar to the Three Thousand Weak Waters?
Thinking of the secret she had just learned today and the third underground floor that even she could not set foot in, Old Lady Hua felt excited.
However, the whole process was so dull and there was no scene like Hua Nong Yue at all.
Xu Chong just raised his hand, and countless white spots of light flew out from his palm and sank into the hearts of the two men.
It lasted for about seven or eight breaths and then ended.
"Okay, you can feel it."
Xu Chong signaled them to open their eyes.
?
Old Lady Hua was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Is this the end?"
Xu Chong did not respond because Hua Nongyu got there before him.
"I...I really made a breakthrough?!"
Hua Nongyu opened her eyes, and there was nothing but shock in her eyes.
In comparison, Sun Yourong seemed to accept this more easily, and just nodded excitedly, "It's true, I can clearly feel the changes in the Tao Seed, this is not an illusion."
“…”
Old Lady Hua was completely speechless.
She was completely shocked by Xu Chong's methods.
In just a few breaths, a third-grade Nascent Soul and a seventh-grade Core Formation were both upgraded to the sixth-grade Nascent Soul?
And he looks nonchalant and at ease.
In other words, for Xu Chong, this matter was just a casual thing, as simple as eating and drinking water...
Is this something a human can do?
"As for you, old lady..."
Xu Chong withdrew his gaze from the two of them, glanced at the old lady Hua at the top, and said with some regret: "Although I am an immortal myself, I don't have the means to increase the lifespan of others."
"And as far as I know, the longevity pills from ancient times became completely ineffective after the great changes in the rules of heaven and earth. Even if we can accurately find the formula and materials, it will only be poison."
"There is only one side technique that can, in a sense, extend the remaining life span."
"I do have this side skill, but..."
As he spoke, Xu Chong shook his head and said , "My method can only improve my realm strength, but not other skills."
The reason for improving your realm is because there are traces to follow.
Acupoints, meridians, physical body, and Tao seeds.
As long as you transfer the spiritual source into the corresponding position of the other person's body according to the corresponding realm, you can achieve an effect similar to initiation.
However, martial arts, secret skills, and side skills belong to the skill level.
Without a panel, it is impossible to use actual spiritual energy to enhance such an ethereal thing.
Therefore, facing the situation of Old Lady Hua, Xu Chong had no choice.
Upon hearing this, Hua Nongyu and Sun Yourong's excitement disappeared and their faces became much darker.
on the contrary.
Old Lady Hua smiled, with a look of relief and relief on her face.
Fortunately, the Hua family accidentally established contact with Xu Chong.
What is a relief is the impending death.
"I've heard of this side art, it's called Huanzhen, right?"
Old Lady Hua asked.
"Yes, from martial arts to paranormal skills, I have a complete set of training methods."
Xu Chong nodded.
"No."
Old Lady Hua waved her hand and said, "I know my level of understanding. It is impossible for me to master the art of side skills in such a short time."
"Besides, even if you succeed, how many days longer can you live?"
"I have never experienced any hardship in my life. I was born in the Hua family, grew up in the Hua family, and became a prominent figure in the Hua family and the head of the family."
"Compared to the vast majority of people in the world, it is already precious to have such a life."
"not to mention……"
After saying this, Old Lady Hua paused and looked at Xu Chong with gratitude: "I was able to save the Hua family from extinction and learned about the origins of the Hua family. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"
Xu Chong looked calm and nodded quietly.
"And you two."
Old Lady Hua looked at Hua Nongyu and the others again, and continued, "You both have Nascent Soul Level 6 now, which is enough to keep the two ships safe. I can now rest assured that the future of the Hua family will be handed over to you. As for the position of the head of the family, after I die, you, Nongyu, will take over first. When Nong Yue comes out, you can discuss it among yourselves."
"Nongyu will obey the old lady's order."
Hua Nongyu's face turned serious, she stood up and bowed.
When he sat down again, he couldn't help but glance at his daughter.
Sun Yourong shook her head slightly, barely perceptibly.
Hua Nongyu sighed secretly.
As one of the signatories of the marriage contract between Xu Chong and Sun Yourong, Hua Nongyu was naturally able to judge her daughter's intentions through some details after returning to the ship.
But she couldn't get involved in this matter at all.
On one side is my daughter, on the other side is my sister...
As for Xu Chong, he knew nothing about it.
After all, I can only blame myself for this.
"In that case, please ask the old lady to arrange some people to follow me into the Spring and Autumn Tomb to get supplies."
Xu Chong stood up.
"Spring and Autumn Tomb, get supplies?"
Old Lady Hua was stunned. "Didn't you say that the Spring and Autumn Tomb was the Fang family's cave? How come..."
“They are all dead.”
Xu Chong shook his head and explained simply: "Ji Qingzhi used his magical powers to slaughter the entire Fang family's main lineage, and the Fang family's side branches also hurriedly evacuated the building ship after hearing the news. In the end, both the cave and the building ship were obtained by me."
Old Lady Hua felt a toothache, and after a moment she spoke in a hoarse voice: "The direct lineage is an ancient clan, and the things inside are probably of astonishing value. Why do you..."
"Most of these things are useless to me now, and the cave is about to collapse. If I don't take them out, they will be completely shattered by then. It's a bit of a waste, not to mention..."
As he said that, Xu Chong smiled and said, "Even if it is something useful to me, I will give it to you. Don't you give it to me when I want it?"
Just like the batch of grain that I asked the Hua family to prepare when we were in Yongzhou.
Although the number is small and the value is just so-so, it really took a lot of effort to collect them.
Although they are not completely of the same mind, at least the Hua family treats him as one of their own.
But when it comes to his own people, Xu Chong is never stingy.
“That’s right.”
Old Lady Hua also smiled, turned around and told Sun Yourong: "You go and take care of this matter."
"yes."
Sun Yourong nodded.
In this way, the meeting between the few people came to an end.
Xu Chong used his physical strength to dig out the original stone slab of the Spring and Autumn Tomb from the forbidden coffin and placed it on the deck of the ship.
The maids and servants of the Hua family walked into the vortex on the stone slab with surprise and excitement and disappeared.
Inside the Spring and Autumn Tomb.
"How long have you been here?"
Sun Yourong looked at the extremely desolate and depressing grave mountain and couldn't help but ask.
"Not for very long. Most of the time was spent inside the tomb."
Xu Chong replied nonchalantly, and turned to Aunt Feng who had just come in and said, "For the tombs that have been opened, you can arrange for people to go in directly. First, move the ones you think are valuable and those you can't understand outside, and then do the inventory and processing at the end."
"yes."
Aunt Feng took the order and started moving with everyone.
Don't be fooled by the delicate appearance of these women who don't even have biceps, but those who are arranged to be in the Spring and Autumn Tomb must be at least enlightened warriors, and their strength is many levels higher than that of the coolies in the folk.
When they heard that they were going to vacate the clan land of a family more powerful than the Hua family, everyone's eyes lit up and they moved very quickly.
It was fine at first, except that the speed of going in and out was unusually frequent.
But as the carrying continued, these maids began to let themselves go, and one by one they began to carry objects that were much larger than themselves.
And when one of them passed by Xu Chong carrying a huge bed, he finally couldn't help but twitching his eyes.
If he was not mistaken, the bed should belong to the clan leader Fang Shuyue.
Speaking of value...
It 's just an ordinary wooden bed, but the wood is quite precious.
"The Hua family treats their subordinates very generously."
Sun Yourong smiled softly, "They know very well that the more the Hua family gets, the more they will get, so it's inevitable for them to act this way."
"I see."
Xu Chong nodded and said, "There are some things I just didn't say on purpose."
"What?"
Sun Yourong was stunned.
"Your mother was also planted with a demon seed by Ji Qingzhi."
Xu Chong said lightly, his face very calm.
Hua Nongyu was originally an elder of the Taiping Dao and had served in Taiping Township for many years. She was also the one who returned to the ship after Hua Nongyue's freezing mutation. How could he ignore this?
So as early as when they just met, he secretly checked Hua Nongyu's condition with the Immortal God.
As expected, Hua Nongyu, like Li Xiangxue, had a faint green hue in her purple palace.
There is no second possibility except Ji Qingzhi's demon species.
The reason why Old Lady Hua asked Sun Yourong to come to the Chunqiu Tomb was the result of Xu Chong's secret message.
"Demon Seed?!!"
Sun Yourong screamed in horror and her face turned pale instantly.
"Don't worry yet."
Xu Chong waved his hand and said soothingly: "I know about the devil in the heart of Taoism and I survived in the Spring and Autumn Tomb, so I naturally know something about it."
"this……"
Sun Yourong thought of Xu Chong's experience and gradually calmed down. "Do you have a way to contact the demon species?"
"Yes, but it may not be applicable to your mother."
Xu Chong replied, "The way to contact the demon species is to reverse the demon species."
"Ji Qingzhi's demon seed is the words of the Taiping Dao."
"And to reverse the demon species, it is these eight words: 'Too peaceful and without justice, the world is full of suffering.'"
"only……"
At this point, Xu Chong glanced at Sun Yourong and said, "If you want to successfully remove the demon seed, you need to accept these eight words from the bottom of your heart, and you..."
Before she finished her words, Sun Yourong's heart was in suspense again.
You must know that before today, the name of the six major families of the Hua family had to be preceded by the Taiping Dao.
Even the Hua family is part of the Taiping Dao. How could a family member like that possibly oppose the Taiping Dao's principles from the bottom of their heart?
Even being wary of or even hostile to Ji Qingzhi would not be able to change this.
After all, Ji Qingzhi is Ji Qingzhi, and Taiping Dao is Taiping Dao.
"What should my mother do then?"
Sun Yourong asked in a hoarse voice.
"The demon seed needs to be activated to be effective."
Xu Chong replied, "If it is not triggered, it will not have any effect on her."
"So, you just need to try your best to prevent her from coming into contact with any unidentified people."
"in addition……"
As he spoke, Xu Chong raised his hand, and countless spots of light flew out and directly penetrated into Sun Yourong's body.
Before Sun Yourong could react, she was forcibly promoted to the ninth level of Nascent Soul.
If he goes any further, it’s not that Xu Chong is reluctant to give up the spiritual source, but the remaining spiritual source is not enough to support the breakthrough to the Dharma Realm.
"you……"
Sun Yourong looked at Xu Chong in confusion.
"If your mother's demon seed is aroused, you must subdue her immediately and wait for me to come back."
Xu Chong explained, "In fact, the sixth level of Nascent Soul is enough, because after the demon seed is aroused, she will completely lose her mind and forget all the methods of Huangting Seed Dao. I do this just in case."
"Thanks."
Sun Yourong looked at Xu Chong deeply, then asked, "Do we have to hide and guard like this for the rest of our lives? My father...my father is still in Taiping Township."
"Just wait a year."
Xu Chong's eyes flashed, "In a year, I will solve all this."
After a year, he will come out of the Spring and Autumn Tomb, first go to Taiping Township, and then enter Tianji Palace.
The Dao Heart Demon is powerful, but if the caster is gone, can the demon seed continue to exist?
Xu Chong thinks it’s impossible.
Sun Yourong looked at Xu Chong's profile, and all her panic disappeared.
In this way, the move lasted for three full days.
It has to be said that the wealth of the Fang family's direct lineage really exceeded Xu Chong's imagination.
All kinds of supplies filled the empty spaces on the decks of the two ships, forming small hills.
Among them, quite a few Taoist weapons were found.
But there is one thing that Xu Chong can still use.
Cloud Piercing Order.
There are two of these Taoist weapons in a pair. If you infuse any one of them with strong power, the other one will make a bell sound, and it is effective within a hundred thousand miles.
Of course, the exaggerated communication distance also makes this Taoist weapon extremely monotonous in information transmission.
Only one party can call and the other party can receive.
What exactly happened is impossible to know.
According to the maid who found them, the pair of bells were placed in the most inconspicuous position and were covered with dust.
Obviously, the Fang family had no means to make good use of the pair of bells.
but……
It was different for Xu Chong and Dou Tianyuan.
The vibrations transmitted by the bell can help Zhishou Potian determine the direction and then arrive quickly.
So, Xu Chong left a bell for Sun Yourong, and left the Hua family ship with the looted Spring and Autumn Tomb.
He didn't need to wander around like the Fang family. He just found an empty sea area and let the Spring and Autumn Tomb sink completely to the bottom of the sea.
"One year for thirty years."
Xu Chong stood in front of the Chunqiu Hall and couldn't help but smile, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west?"
Shaking his head, Xu Chong walked in.
Almost at the same time when he entered Chunqiu Hall, Prince Qian took the initiative to find Lou Youzhi for the first time in the capital.
Inside the underground palace.
Lou Youzhi, Dou Tianyuan, and Prince Qian sat together.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Dou Tianyuan looked at King Qian with a smile, "But it's rare to see you take the initiative to look for us."
"Your Majesty wants to bring forward the Imperial Family Ceremony."
Prince Qian ignored Dou Tianyuan's teasing and said solemnly.
"in advance?"
Lou Youzhi frowned deeply, "If I remember correctly, the next Royal Family Festival should be in three years, right?"
"That's the rule."
Prince Qian nodded, his expression becoming more solemn.
"How early?"
Lou Youzhi's heart sank and he also became serious.
really.
King Qian slowly uttered a few words.
"Three months later."
