Everlasting

Chen Nianzhi nodded: "Well, I had some insights a few days ago, and I broke through to the eighth level of Qi training." Seeing the affirmative answer, the sixteenth uncle's face was full of excitement: "I am sixteen years old and have reached the eighth level of Qi training. Is it possible that the Chen family wants to produce an ancestor of the Zifu?"

He was very excited, but after a while, when he calmed down, he sighed again.

"Well, if it had been sixty years ago, when the Chen family was at its peak, I would have given you another Foundation Establishment Pill no matter what."

"But now, the family is really powerless."

Uncle Sixteen shook his head and sighed, with a look of frustration on his face.

Chen Nianzhi listened quietly. Although he was not the person involved sixty years ago, he also knew the general history of the Chen family.

Sixty years ago was the heyday of the Chen family. At that time, there were three foundation-building ancestors. One of the ancestors of the Dao generation had cultivated to the ninth level of foundation-building and even had the possibility of breaking through the Zifu.

It is a pity that the Monster Rebellion broke out sixty years ago, and even the Qingyang Sect, a large sect in Chu State, killed two Zifu ancestors in the battle, so naturally the Chen family could not stay out of it.

In order to resist the monster chaos, a large number of monks from the Chen family were recruited. As a result, they were very unlucky. They encountered a third-level purple monster and all the monks in the family, including the two foundation-building ancestors, were wiped out. Only Chen Changxuan, the leader of the Qingyuan Peak clan who was at his weakest at that time, survived.

Because the losses in that battle were so heavy, the Chen family has not recovered even after sixty years. In recent years, conditions have just improved a bit.

However, after Chen Qingmeng failed to build the foundation, things got worse. In the next few decades, the family would not be able to help Chen Nianzhi purchase the foundation building pill.

But Chen Nianzhi was not only concerned about this, he thought of another bad thing.

Chu State will encounter a monster rebellion every hundred years. Now there are less than forty years left before the next monster rebellion. I don’t know if the Chen family will be able to survive it.

"That's all. If the sky falls, there will be tall people who can hold it up. The only way for me to practice hard is to practice hard."

Putting his thoughts away, Chen Nianzhi returned to the island in the middle of the lake with his sixteen uncles.

After arriving at Linghu Continent, Uncle Sixteen found the Lingpeach tree and a nest of small purple-striped geese, and couldn't help but look shocked.

Knowing long ago that Lingtaoshu and Ziwenyan couldn't hide it at all, Chen Nianzhi did not avoid them, but took the initiative to inform them.

"I discovered the spiritual peach tree by accident and transplanted it here specially."

"A pair of purple-striped geese migrated here some time ago. I killed them and then found a nest of eggs. I hatched them."

Listening to his story, Nian Qian and Nianyuan looked remorseful after knowing the approximate time of the purple-striped geese's migration.

They had stayed at Linghu Island for several years before, but they did not pay attention to the inspection, so they missed the opportunity to discover this nest of purple-striped geese.

"Oh, what a bad luck."

The two of them regretted it endlessly. The current nest of purple-striped geese and spiritual peach trees came from outside the family and would be counted as Chen Nianzhi's private property.

They felt that if they had wandered around Linghuzhou more, these two opportunities might have been theirs.

Chen Nianzhi saw their expressions in his eyes and probably guessed their regretful thoughts, so he couldn't help but smile.

It is impossible for the Spirit Peach Tree to be destroyed, but if the two of them patrol Linghu Continent more often, it is indeed possible to get a few Spirit Goose Eggs. However, based on their initial Qi training skills, they may not be able to fight against the two mid-Qi training ones. purple-striped goose.

Uncle Sixteen couldn't help but said excitedly as he touched the peach tree and the little purple-striped goose.

"Xiao Nianzhi, you have such a good opportunity. With the Spirit Peach Tree and the Little Purple Goose here, you will be able to earn hundreds of Spirit Stones every year from now on."

"As long as you wait twenty or thirty years, you can accumulate a lot of spiritual stones. When the time comes, if the family puts in some effort, they may not be able to purchase another foundation-building pill for you."

"You are still young, don't worry, longevity can still wait."

The old man was excited for a long time and encouraged Chen Nianzhi. It took him a while to regain his mood and start getting down to business.

The reason why the three of them came to Linghu Continent this time was because the spiritual rice they planted had matured and it was time to harvest.

The spirit plants are very tough, and only monks have enough strength to harvest them. The four of them worked hard all afternoon and finally finished harvesting the spirit rice.

A total of one hundred and sixty-two kilograms of spiritual rice was harvested, which was worth fifty-four spiritual stones, twelve kilograms more than Chen Nianzhi expected.

The sixteenth uncle also said with some joy: "It seems that the water quality of this Linghu Lake is indeed very good, and the yield per mu of the Lingtian on Qingyuan Mountain is actually higher."

Among the seventeen acres of spiritual fields on Qingyuan Mountain, seven acres are dedicated to planting spiritual rice. The spiritual rice that can be harvested every year is just over 500 kilograms. On average, it is seventy-five kilograms per mu of land, and Lingzhou The lake weighs eighty-one pounds per acre, which is obviously much better.

After collecting the spiritual rice, Uncle Sixteen caught the newly adult green spiritual fish in the spiritual lake, seventeen in total.

These spirit fish will be sent to the Chen Family Restaurant in Yuyangfang City. They are a good treat for monks in Yuyang County to entertain their friends. They are sold out every time in just half a month, which can bring a lot of profits to the restaurant. .

"You are so good at practicing, you still have a long time."

"The family will definitely find ways to help you when the time comes."

Uncle Sixteen encouraged him a lot, but didn't stay too long. That night he went to Yuyangfang City with his spiritual rice and spiritual fish. These spiritual fish and spiritual rice were all going to be sold into spiritual stones.

Although the spirit fish is powerful, it still needs water to survive. In order to take the living spirit fish thousands of miles to Yuyangfang City, the Chen family rented a spirit beast from the Zhang family, one of the six major immortal cultivating families in Yu County. The chariot is drawn by clouds of fire.

Fire Cloud Horse is a first-level mid-level spiritual beast. This kind of spiritual beast can fly at low altitude for a short time, ignore most terrain restrictions, and can even travel thousands of miles a day. Just one horse can pull a cart of spiritual fish to Yuyang There is a market, and it only takes more than ten days.

The Zhang family relies on more than a dozen Huoyun horses to generate more than 300 spiritual stones in revenue every year, making several other major families envious.

Seeing the splendid Huoyunma leaving, Chen Nianzhi was a little envious, but he shook his head and laughed.

The spiritual peaches produced by the spiritual peach tree every year are worth close to three hundred spiritual stones. When the purple-striped goose grows up, it can lay spiritual eggs every once in a while, which will also be a huge profit.

The annual income of hundreds of spiritual stones is a considerable amount of wealth for a foundation-building monk, enough to allow him to practice smoothly before building a foundation.

"..."

There is no time in the lake, time is fleeting.

Chen Nianzhi practiced peacefully in the Linghu Lake. Two years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, he swallowed the morning glow and slowly exhaled.

"Successful."

He showed a look of joy. After practicing Taoism for fifteen years, he kept polishing his foundation and finally broke through the ninth level of Qi training.

The ninth level of Qi training at the age of eighteen is already quite impressive. As long as he waits for a few more years, he can polish the foundation firmly and try to hit the foundation building stage.

He left the customs in a happy mood, only to find that there was a messenger eagle in front of the bamboo house that had been waiting for a long time.
