Chapter 169 – You Family Ancestor, Qilin’s Child [2 in 1]

Chapter 169 – You Family Ancestor, Qilin’s Child [2 in 1] [二合一]

“Uncle!”

“Old Ancestor!”

Seeing Jiang Chengxuan return, the crowd of Jiang Clan cultivators couldn’t help but all burst out in surprise.

Shen Ruyan also smiled and stepped forward, looking at Jiang Chengxuan and asking:

“Husband, how was it?”

“Uh-huh.”

Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded at her, signaling that everything was going well.

Shen Ruyan then didn’t ask any more questions, but instead, she talked about what had just happened, with Jiang Chengxuan.

After Jiang Chengxuan listened, he pondered a little, then turned his head to Jiang Renyi and the others:
“Renyi, after a while, you and Renchuan, Rendao, and Elder Liu and the rest of them, go together to walk up to those Purple Mansion families and sects.

Just in my name, send an invitation to each of them, inviting them to come to my Jiang Clan of Immortals as guests.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Renyi and the others nodded solemnly.

Obviously they were also all well aware of what Jiang Chengxuan’s move meant.

Some time later.

Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and a group of other Jiang Clan cultivators returned to the Jiang Clan land.

For that one place of the Guiyuan Sect today, they did not occupy it.

The main reason was that after the third-order spirit vein in that place was blown up, the aura in heaven and earth would become increasingly thin and become extremely unsuitable for cultivation.

This was also the main reason why they would be so shocked and even direct their curses after confirming this matter in the first place.

This action was really detrimental to the harmony of the heavens, and would even carry a great deal of karma.

One must know that spirit veins were born and raised.

Every spirit vein, for any cultivator in the Nine Yuan Realm, was a gift from heaven and earth.

If you detonate and blow it up, you are weakening the Nine Elemental Realm’s underpinnings.

Even more so, you are cutting off the chances of many cultivators.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, any cultivator will never easily destroy the spiritual vein.

Unless you have a way to make up for it, otherwise, even those high-ranking cultivators would not do so easily.

It was really that the karma involved was too huge.

A little careless, that is the karma backfire, along with your family and clan, it is not good to suffer.

White Xuanhong several people will be Jiang Chengxuan that easy to find, and ultimately hate, in fact, there is no lack of karma in the darkness of the cause and effect.

At this time.

Jiang family’s Xuanming peak.

This peak was the highest peak of the Jiang Family, and it was also the peak with the most abundant spiritual qi.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan sat opposite each other.

Right at this moment, Jiang Renyi, who had already been recognized by Jiang Chengxuan as the Jiang family head, couldn’t help but come in front of the two.

Only to see him handing a list to Jiang Chengxuan and speaking:

“Reporting to uncle, this is our previous seizure from that Guiyuan Sect, as well as some of the gains we made on the way back this way in the first place, all of it is on here.

I also hope that you can take a look and see if there is anything that is useful to you and uncle mother.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan took over this list and looked at it, realizing that their Jiang family’s harvest this time was really not small.

Although most of the treasures were rolled away by Bai Xuanhong’s few people in the first place.

But what was left behind was still quite a few things.

Among them were the Foundation Establishment Pill, as well as some first and second rank spirit roots and so on.

In addition, there was also a lot of precious materials, pills, magic weapons, talismans and other things.

However, for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, some of these things were not of much use to them.

On the contrary, there were some scattered formation materials, which were useful for rearranging the Jiang family’s protective formation afterward.

At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan reached out and nodded at those formation materials, then said to Jiang Renyi:

“Just these things, leave them for me, afterward, your uncle and mother and I will use them to set up our Mountain Protection Formation.”

After thinking about it, Jiang Chengxuan took out another storage ring from his own body, and then handed it to Jiang Renyi, saying:

“Some of the things in here are no longer of much use to me and your aunt and uncle, but they should still be of some use to the rest of our Jiang family.

You can take it and have someone summarize and organize it properly, and according to the contributions of the people in the clan, you can distribute some of it as appropriate.

Try to get everyone’s strength up in the shortest time possible.

Especially in terms of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Right now, with just the three of you brothers and Elder Liu and the four of you, it’s simply not enough, and it doesn’t match the foundation that a Violet Mansion Immortal Clan should have.”

Receiving that one storage ring from Jiang Chengxuan’s hand, Jiang Renyi merely glanced at it, and his heart snapped.

Truly, the amount of things stored within this storage ring was too great.

Although most of them were first-order and second-order lower-grade items, there was no shortage of second-order middle-grade and even second-order upper-grade items.

Jiang Renyi knew very well that these things, especially for those low-ranking cultivators of their Jiang family, could definitely be considered a very generous cultivation resources, and could definitely greatly accelerate their cultivation progress.

Thinking of this, Jiang Renyi’s heart was immediately filled with emotion.

When Jiang Renyi left from Jiang Chengxuan’s side, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chengxuan with a smile.

“I thought that those things, you wouldn’t give them all at once.”

Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but be stunned at his words, then he smiled and shook his head:
“Since we’ve decided to stay in the clan, then trying to make the people of the clan stronger as soon as possible is making you and I stronger in disguise.

There is nothing strange about this.

Those things, rather than staying in your and my hands, it would be better to give them to those in the clan.

In the future, when their cultivation goes up, you and I will be able to save a lot of effort.

Besides, they have already handed over to you and me all the techniques, magical abilities, and legacies of the clan, as well as the news about the third-order spirit vein.

If I even have to be stingy with those things, then what’s the difference between me and that Jiang Clan Ancestor from before, as well as Zhang Baishan of the Zhang Clan from Pingchuan County back then?”

As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan had already taken out a fist-sized silver-colored stone from his own body.

The surface of the silver-colored stone flowed with threads of lightning text.

“This is?”

Seeing this silver-colored stone, Shen Ruyan was then slightly taken aback.

Only to hear Jiang Chengxuan say, “That’s right, this is the Thunder Yuan Stone, I found it from that Bai Xuanhong’s storage ring, it should be helpful to you.”

“Not bad, this Thunder Yuan Stone, it will indeed be helpful to my cultivation afterward.”

Shen Ruyan didn’t be polite with Jiang Chengxuan and accepted this Thunder Yuan Stone upon hearing his words.

After that, Jiang Chengxuan took out the jade slip inscribed with the Withered Wood Silent Destruction Method and handed it over to Shen Ruyan.

After Shen Ruyan viewed it, she said that this secret method did indeed have its unique features, but it didn’t particularly fit with what she practiced.

It was fine to borrow from it, but it was better to forget about it if she cultivated it.

In this way, the couple discussed with each other on the topic of cultivation.

About a few days later.

Jiang Chengxuan assisted Shen Ruyan and rearranged the third-order mountain protection formation within the Jiang family land.

Only after this was done did the couple return to their respective cave mansions at Xuan Ming Peak and begin their seclusion.

Speaking of seclusion, it was actually a grooming of themselves during this period of time.

After all, since they had left the Shen Family, this was the first time they had ever, truly settled down in one place.

The couple’s respective purposes were clear.

Jiang Chengxuan was to refine the magic treasures he had acquired before and along the way.

Such as the one that had been the Ebony Metaphysical Iron Stick in the beginning.

Another example was the defensive magic treasure that he had previously obtained from that third-ranked Gale Giant Crocodile, the Six Harmonies Wanjun Pagoda.

After that, if there was still time, he also wanted to utilize that Green Dragon Wood Crystal he had obtained earlier to see if he could boost the power of his divine ability, the Green Emperor Heaven Slashing Blade, a bit.

By the way, he also wanted to cultivate that Withered Wood Silence Law.

As for Shen Ruyan, she wanted to utilize the third-stage Green Thunder Wind Bird demonic dan that she had obtained back then, as well as the Thunder Yuan Stone that Jiang Chengxuan had given her not long ago, to incorporate it into her Five Thunders Immortal Sword.

If she could, she might also be able to take this opportunity to freshen herself up and formally move her cultivation into the third level of the Violet Mansion.

While Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were grooming themselves, and a group of Jiang family’s children and cultivators were taking this opportunity to work hard to improve themselves, the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan You Family, Purple Mansion Immortal Sect Tianquan Sect, Purple Mansion Immortal Sect Smokey Pavilion, and Purple Mansion Families and Clans in several nearby counties were receiving invitations one after another from the Jiang family’s side.

The invitations were all written in Jiang Chengxuan’s name.

The content was only one, that is, their Jiang family wanted to host a banquet to invite all parties after five years.

For a family like the Jiang family that had almost fallen, but had risen again at a critical moment and had almost destroyed the Guiyuan Sect with their own strength, all the families had given enough respect.

Some clans and sects even gave direct promises that after five years, a Great Elder from their sect would personally travel to the Jiang family.

Among them was the You family of Qi’an County.

Only, when Liu Linglong, who was responsible for sending the invitations, left the You Family, the contemporary head of the You Family, You Changbai, immediately found their Purple Mansion Ancestor, You Zhenfang, and with a slightly uneasy expression, spoke to him about the matter.

You Zhenfang’s age was already over four hundred years old.

The entire person already looked as if he was looking quite old.

And this, was still the result of him having taken a life-extending spirit item in his early years.

At this moment, when he heard You Changbai’s words, a flash of golden light burst out from his turbid old eyes.

He looked towards the family head, You Changbai, and said with an incomparably serious expression:
“Changbai, tell me honestly, over these years, have you been working together with that Guiyuan Sect to target that Jiang family?”

“Old Ancestor, I ……”

You Changbai’s expression was first stagnant, then he suddenly was poofed, directly kneeling in front of You Zhenfang, unable to hold back his tears:

“Old Ancestor, this matter really can’t be blamed on me!
It was all the suggestion of Chang Yuan and his daoist couple, and accordingly some things were done by them personally.”

You Zhen Fang’s expression was suddenly cold.

He just looked at You Changbai until his forehead was covered in cold sweat, then he coldly said:
“As the head of the family, it’s not even a matter of not being able to make favorable decisions for the family, but instead, you also misheard the advice of others, resulting in pulling the family to the brink of danger.

Most importantly, after knowing that you have made a mistake, you still don’t have the slightest bit of commitment to take it on, and push all the responsibility, all of it, onto others.

If I let you continue to serve as the head of my You family, I’m afraid that it won’t be long before my You family is doomed.”

Hearing this, You Changbai’s face had already turned pale.

Along with his body kneeling on the ground, he was also trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, a flash of disappointment once again flashed across You Zhen Fang’s eyes.

Then he saw him slowly shake his head and faintly said:
“From today onwards, you will no longer need to hold the position of my You Family’s family head, go to the back of the mountain to have a good face to face, without my permission, you are not allowed to take a step out of the back of the mountain, or else you will be killed without pardon!”

Speaking the last sentence, this Supreme Elder who had been the head of the You Family for several generations, his eyes suddenly erupted with a stern to the extreme killing opportunity.

Only to hear him suddenly say, “Changsheng, did you hear everything I just said?”

As soon as the words fell, You Changbai, who was kneeling on the ground, instantly raised his head in some dismay.

He then saw that behind You Zhenfang, at some point, there had already stood a man wearing a white shirt, looking at his age around thirty or so.

Most importantly, this person’s cultivation level was clearly already at the Foundation Establishment Great Circle realm.

And his essence was unusually full.

If nothing unexpected happened, as long as he was given the spirit item that assisted in breaking through the Purple Mansion, he would have a high possibility of successfully advancing to the Purple Mansion.

“Yes, Ancestral Grandfather, I’ve memorized all of your words, grandson.”

The white-shirted man named You Changsheng respectfully bowed to You Zhenfang and replied in an unusually solemn tone.

“Not bad.”

You Zhenfang nodded in satisfaction.

“From now on, you are the new head of my You Family.”

After a pause, he heard You Zhenfang add:
“Turn around and find out how many benefits my You Family dug out of that Jiang Family back then, and turn around and you’ll return it to them in several or even ten times the amount.

Remember, don’t deny the mistakes you’ve made, be sure to sincerely apologize and beg for their Jiang family’s forgiveness, got it?”

Without the slightest hesitation, You Changsheng immediately nodded his head sincerely at the words:

“Yes, Ancestral Grandfather, grandson I know.”

After a pause, he then opened his mouth and asked:
“Regarding the Second Elder and his daoist couple, what should we do with them afterward?”

“Well, how do you think this matter should be handled, Changsheng?”

You Zhenfang suddenly was glancing at You Changsheng with a rather deep meaning, smiling as he asked rhetorically.

You Changsheng instantly replied without thinking.

“My grandson thought that if the Second Elder and his daoist couple were handed over, such a move would definitely chill the hearts of the clan and be detrimental to the future of my You family.

However, if they are not disposed of, the Jiang Clan’s side will certainly not be able to give a good explanation at that time either.

Although my tour family and that return to the Yuan Sect together against their Jiang family, but fortunately the scope is limited to some of the market industry, and did not stain the blood of their Jiang family members.

So in this matter, the best way, is to sufficient compensation, to calm the anger of the Jiang family, and tell them, the second elder couple will be imprisoned in the family for life, can not step out half step.

If there is any violation, without their Jiang family’s action, our You family will be the first to clean up the family.

In this way, not only can we give the Jiang family an explanation, but it will also be a deterrent and a wake-up call internally, and we can even utilize this matter to gather the hearts of our family.”

Snap! Snap! Snap!
You Zhenfang couldn’t help but gently applaud at once.

He looked at the You Changsheng in front of him with a satisfied expression and could not help but marvel:

“Changsheng, you are worthy of being the unicorn child of my You family, grandpa I really did not misjudge you.

Alright, this matter will be handled according to what you just said.

I still have a Star Flower Grass there, so turn around and send it over as a reparation gift.”

Upon hearing these words, a slight change finally appeared on You Changsheng’s face for the first time.

He hesitated for a few moments, but finally did not hold back and said:
“Ancestral Grandfather, that Star Flower Grass, as far as I know, this is a third-order mid-grade spirit grass, taking it has a 15% chance of breaking through to the fourth level of the Violet Mansion, it’s something you have in your back pocket, do you really want to give it to that Jiang family as a compensation? Why don’t we see if there’s something else we can replace it with?”

Hearing these words from You Changsheng, not only did You Zhenfang not blame You Changsheng, instead, he also smiled and reached out to pat You Changsheng’s shoulder, saying in a serious tone:

“Changsheng, you have to remember that an external object will be an external object in the end, if you are too obsessed with it, and even put it above us people, then one day, it will be countered by it.

Not to mention that your grandpa’s life span is already short, and my qi, blood, and mana have already begun to decay, so even if I do take that Star Flower Grass, I’m afraid that the probability of breaking through to the fourth level of the Purple Mansion is already less than half a percent.

What’s more, even if I did break through to the fourth level of the Purple Mansion, it wouldn’t help my longevity in any way.

Instead of that, it would be better to let it play a greater role.

Sometimes, between people, it’s not like you and I are hostile to each other forever.

In some cases, hostility can also turn into alliance.

Likewise, allies can become enemies.

Do you, understand?”

You Changsheng profoundly knew that at this moment, You Zhenfang was teaching him with his experience of having lived for over four hundred years.

This caused him to be incomparably moved inwardly.

He did not rush to reply to You Zhenfang’s words, but rather, after serious and careful contemplation, he nodded his head with a serious expression.

“Ancestral grandfather, grandson I understand.”
