Everlasting

Ten days later, Chen Nianzhi returned to Yujun with the Lihuo Guixu Sword.

Instead of returning to Lingzhou Lake first, he went directly to Pingyang City and found the old patriarch who had just come out of seclusion.

At this time, Chen Changxuan's injuries have been mostly healed, and there will be no serious problems. He only needs to rest for a year to fully recover.

After finding the old patriarch, Chen Nianzhi told him the news that he had brought back three foundation-building pills and the seven-star demon-killing boat.

The old uncle looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Seven-Star Demon-Slaying Boat, and couldn't help showing a look of ecstasy.

"Although it is dangerous to kill the Zifu monster this time, it is really an unexpected joy to get two third-level magic weapons and three foundation-building pills."

"Sure enough, big risks can bring big rewards. If it wasn't so dangerous, I would have wanted to hunt the Zifu monster."

Chen Nianzhi also shook his head and laughed. How could it be so easy to hunt down the Zifu monsters? He and the old patriarch teamed up to fight against six ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks. This must be powerful enough.

But if they really encounter the early stage monsters of the Zi Mansion in their heyday, they may not be able to save their lives.

The old patriarch suppressed his excitement, and then asked: "How are you going to arrange these Foundation Establishment Pills?"

Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, and after a while he said directly: "There are only seven monks in the family who are no more than sixty years old and at the ninth level of Qi training.

"Now that the chaos of monsters and beasts is coming, it is better to use these foundation-building pills as soon as possible to increase their strength. Nian Ming, Nian Guo, and Nian Feng have just broken through the ninth level of Qi training, and they will have to polish it for at least five or six years."

"The only suitable ones left are Uncle Qingyu, Nianchuan, and Xianling Xianyan."

Following Chen Nianzhi's eloquent talk, the old patriarch quickly understood the identities of these four people. He pondered for a moment before speaking.

"The two brothers Xian Ling and Xian Yan are still less than thirty. If they use Foundation Establishment at this time, they will have one more chance to break through the Zi Mansion in the future. The two Foundation Establishment Pills will be given to them first."

"As for Qingyu and Nianchuan..."

Mentioning these two people, the old patriarch pondered.

Chen Qingyu is Chen Changming's seventeenth son. At that time, Chen Changming was ninety-nine years old, and he still dragged his old body to activate the Fierce Sun and Heavenly Fire Formation to eradicate the great enemy Zhang Laomo for the family. His contribution was not small.

Now that Chen Changming's old uncle is one hundred and seventeen years old, he just wants to watch Chen Qingyu build the foundation before he dies.

Chen Nianchuan is the youngest son of the second elder Chen Qinghe. Needless to say, the second elder's contribution to the family over the years goes without saying. Before he died, he was reluctant to use the Foundation Establishment Pill, so Chen Nianzhi took it back and left it to the family.

These two candidates not only gave Chen Nianzhi a headache, but even the old patriarch found it a bit tricky.

After a while, Chen Changxuan still said: "Both of them have three spiritual roots, their talents are almost the same, and their contribution is not very different."

"But Nianchuan is forty-nine this year, so maybe he can wait for an opportunity."

"But Chen Qingyu is already fifty-eight years old and can't wait any longer. Give this Foundation Establishment Pill to Chen Qingyu."

Chen Nianzhi felt a little melancholy in his heart as he listened.

The opportunity for the Foundation Establishment Pill is so rare. Chen Nianchuan only has twelve years to wait. Now that the monster beasts are in chaos, the family's chances of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill during this period are actually not very high.

"well!"

Chen Nianzhi sighed, but there really was no better way.

He suppressed his thoughts and suddenly remembered the past that Jiang Linglong didn't want to tell, so he asked.

"Old uncle, do you know the news about the East China Sea?"

"The coast of the East China Sea?"

Chen Changxuan frowned, shook his head and said: "The coast of the East China Sea is separated from the Eastern Wilderness by hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers. It is said that even the Nascent Soul Master has to take a cross-state teleportation array to reach it."

"It's such a long distance, and I know very little about the news there."

"That's it." Chen Nianzhi was a little disappointed, but still asked unwillingly: "Then do you know if anything major has happened over there in the past few hundred years?"

"Major events in the past few hundred years?"

The old patriarch pondered for a moment, and then said after a while: "Two hundred years ago, a major event that shocked the world did happen in the East China Sea."

"It is said that the outbreak of the Demonic Abyss catastrophe once in a thousand years seems to have caused a very big sensation."

"It's just that it's too far away from us. I don't know what happened specifically. Maybe the Jindan ancestor of Chu State is well-informed and may know the general outline of what happened."

"The catastrophe of the Demonic Abyss once in a thousand years?"

Chen Nianzhi frowned when he heard this, although he still didn't get any news about Jiang Linglong from it.

However, this once-in-a-thousand-year Demonic Abyss catastrophe coincides with the time when Jiang Linglong came to the Eastern Wilderness, so there may be some connection between them.

Without getting detailed information, the old patriarch didn't know much, so Chen Nianzhi didn't ask any more questions. He knew that since Jiang Linglong didn't tell him, she probably didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

"That's all, right now it's better to live a good life and practice cultivation."

After bidding farewell to the old patriarch, Chen Nianzhi did not stay in Pingyang City longer and went to Qingyuan Mountain that day.

After returning to Qingyuan Mountain, he directly summoned the monks in the clan who were at the ninth level of Qi training and above, and announced the candidates for the Foundation Establishment Pill after discussing with the clan leader.

The two brothers Xian Ling, Xian Yan, and Chen Qingyu were naturally overjoyed. They excitedly took the Foundation Building Pill and the Yuan Juan Pill from Chen Nianzhi.

"I don't know how many of the three of them can build a foundation."

Seeing the three of them excitedly taking the elixirs to build the foundation, Chen Nianzhi also felt a little melancholy.

The older generation of family elders are very talented, especially the first elder and the second elder, who are the best of the young generation. However, they had bad luck and eventually missed the age of foundation building.

"Pity."

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Nianzhi stood up and prepared to return to Linghuzhou, but at this moment Chen Nianchuan came over.

He looked at Chen Nianzhi, his face slightly hesitant, as if he was hesitant to speak, and finally said.

"Brother of Nian."

Chen Nianzhi paused and glanced at Chen Nianchuan: "Brother, this Foundation Building Pill..."

"I understand." Chen Nianchuan grabbed the words and said calmly: "Uncle Qingyu does need the Foundation Establishment Pill more than I do, so I'm not looking for you for the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"That is?"

"I heard that you made six Yuan Ju Dan last time. I wonder if there are any left?"

"You want to build a foundation by yourself?" Chen Nianzhi's pupils shrank suddenly, but he couldn't help but said: "Without the foundation building pill, the risk of building a foundation will be reduced. If you don't succeed, you will die. Have you considered it?"

Chen Nianchuan did not answer. He turned his head and looked at the candlelight in the corner, with a trace of determination in his eyes.

"Before my father decided to attack the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had a long conversation with me all night long."

"I am very similar to my father. I use my father as a mirror to view myself. At that time, I saw myself in a trance decades later."

"That look of old age, that look of waiting for death every day, with no future in sight."

"Can you feel that feeling?"

"..."
