Xiaoliangshan, Zhou family ancestral tomb!
The Zhou family has relied on the Shouyang Mountain market for survival and development for nearly two hundred years.
Originally, the ancestor of the Zhou family was also a casual cultivator, but he was lucky enough to inherit a talisman. Then, relying on his talisman skills, he earned spirit stones and married several wives, and had many children and descendants.
Among these descendants, those with spiritual roots were brought along to practice, while the mortals without spiritual roots were sent down to live in Zhoujia Town. After nearly two hundred years of inheritance, the Zhou family now has more than thirty cultivators and thousands of ordinary people!
Now the cultivators in the Zhou family are all living frugally and working hard to earn spirit stones, which are then used to support the family member with the best spiritual roots and qualifications - Zhou Chen!
By combining the resources of dozens of people, Zhou Chen's cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi training. Advancing to the seventh level is probably not far away. He can be said to be the hope of the entire village...
"Xiaoliangshan is the Zhou family's ancestral tomb. It's indeed heavily guarded. Fortunately, I was smart enough to climb up from the back mountain. I'm afraid no one in the Zhou family would have thought that someone would actually care about their ancestral tomb..."
Climbing up to the ancestral tomb in Xiaoliangshan, Chen Changsheng had a smile on his face.
Over the past hundred years, many people have been buried in the Zhou family's ancestral tomb. Fortunately, there is a difference between humans and immortals. Ordinary mortals and immortal cultivators are naturally not buried together, and the scale of the tombs is also very different.
The tomb of the Zhou family elder was newly built, so it was naturally easy to find.
"The Tomb of Zhou Yesen..."
"Old sir, please forgive me for disturbing you so late at night. I'm just collecting the body. Maybe I can even fulfill your last wish. This is a win-win situation. Don't blame me, don't blame me..."
Chen Changsheng clasped his hands together in front of Zhou Yesen's tomb, bowed several times, then picked up the Xihuang Sword and began to dig the grave...
Half an hour later...
"Good fellow, they actually used living people as burial offerings. How cruel..."
The tomb was opened, revealing a small burial chamber underneath, divided into two main and secondary chambers. The main chamber, needless to say, held Zhou Yesian's remains. In the secondary chambers on either side, one contained porcelain, talismans, and other burial objects, while the other contained the body of a young woman...
"Shan Hong, female, 31 years old, was strangled to death!"
"Last wish: to send fifty taels of gold to my parents. P.S.: Shan Hong's parents are in Shanjia Village, Gaoyang Town."
She still remembers her parents even after her death. She is a filial woman. What a pity...
Chen Changsheng made up his mind that this last wish must be fulfilled!
"Corpse evaluation: Extraordinary Grade One, rewards: three Extraordinary Essence Blood Pills and one Mana Pill!"
Oh my god, the evaluation is actually extraordinary?
And a mana pill as a reward?
So, Dan Hong was also a cultivator, but he was actually buried alive with someone?
How could Chen Changsheng know that Shan Hong was actually Zhou Yesen's concubine, and she herself had spiritual roots, but she had no cultivation techniques and didn't know she had spiritual roots.
It was only after she married Zhou Yesen that she was discovered by chance by Zhou Yesen.
But the Zhou family has strict rules, and the skills cannot be passed on to outsiders!
Besides, Shan Hong was not even the legal wife, but only a concubine, and had no qualifications to practice cultivation. In order not to waste Shan Hong's qualifications, Zhou Yesen secretly taught Shan Hong the cultivation method, but no one knew about this situation.
After Zhou Yesen's death, Shan Hong, as a concubine, was strangled to death by someone ordered by Zhou Yesen's jealous wife and buried with him...
"Zhou Yesian, male, 87 years old, passed away at the age of 87. P.S. A certain fight in his youth sowed the seeds of his early death!"
"Last wish: The Zhou family will produce another late stage Qi training cultivator!"
The normal lifespan of a person in the Qi training realm is one hundred years. Of course, depending on personal constitution, strength, technique, etc., some people can only live to be in their nineties, while others can live to be over one hundred years old.
Eighty-seven years old is indeed considered an early death!
From this we can see that his aggressiveness in his youth must have left some hidden injuries that Zhou Yesen was not even aware of, affecting his overall lifespan!
"Being brave and aggressive is not good, stability is the right way!"
Seeing Zhou Yesen's ending, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel proud of his own stability again!
Although, his lifespan is still very long...longer than that of an average foundation-building cultivator...
However, let the Zhou family produce another person in the late stage of Qi training?
Haven’t you woken up from the dream yet?
If the Zhou family really has someone in the late stage of Qi training, won’t they attack me?
"Corpse rating: Extraordinary One Star, Reward... Six Mana Pills!"
No Essence and Blood Pill?
Yes, he died of old age, and his energy and blood must have been exhausted!
However, six mana pills can be said to be a great harvest!
Chen Changsheng quietly descended the mountain. At midnight, the Zhou family was patrolling the ancestral tomb. Seeing the excavated tomb, they couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Then the entire Zhou family was alarmed...
The Zhou family head was even more furious: "Who are these villains who dared to touch our Zhou family's ancestral tomb? Investigate, we must investigate thoroughly. No matter who dares to touch our Zhou family's ancestral tomb, our Zhou family will never give up!"
Fight until death?
Good guy, then you have to find someone first...
"Chen'er!" The head of the Zhou family looked at Zhou Chen, who was highly expected by the clan members.
"Dad, I'm here!" Zhou Chen said.
"You have both medium-grade spiritual roots of gold and water. You have the best qualifications in our Zhou family. You must practice hard and advance to the seventh level of Qi training as soon as possible. Then you will be able to join the Song family's Law Enforcement Hall. Let's see who dares to mess with our Zhou family!" said the head of the Zhou family in a serious tone.
Among the five elements, gold produces water. The spiritual roots of gold and water are of medium quality, and the speed of cultivation is even faster than that of ordinary medium quality spiritual roots. That is why the Zhou family has high hopes for them!
Of course, this so-called high hopes only meant that Zhou Chen could advance to the seventh or even ninth level of Qi training. As for foundation building, that was out of the question...
The price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was beyond the reach of people like them who couldn't even be considered a member of an Immortal Cultivation Family. Even Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items would easily cost thousands or even tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones each, something they simply couldn't afford...
"Yes, Dad, I will practice hard!" Zhou Chen nodded vigorously.
On the other side, after Chen Changsheng came down from Xiaoliang Mountain, he went straight to the Shan family.
It’s just fifty taels of gold. For Chen Changsheng, it’s just a drop in the bucket and he can fulfill his last wish. It’s such a great profit!
Because it was night, Chen Changsheng did not disturb Shan Hong's parents. He just left fifty taels of gold and a note, saying that it was Shan Hong who entrusted them, and then left the Shan family.
"Fulfill Shan Hong's last wish, and Shan Hong will pass on her talisman-making experience to you!"
Suddenly, a memory appeared in Chen Changsheng's mind: a woman, using a talisman pen, concentrating on drawing talismans...
"Talisman-making experience?"
"A talisman maker among the hundred arts of immortal cultivation?"
It’s coming, it’s coming, this time it’s really coming!
You know, talismans, tools, pills, and formations are the four most important and the four with the largest coverage among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals. The life of an immortal cultivator is almost inseparable from these four skills!
Among these, although talismans are at the bottom of the contempt chain among the four major skills, they are still very important.
Which immortal cultivator doesn’t carry a few talismans with him in case of emergency?
Xiao Moxi's father was once a talisman maker, but unfortunately he did not leave behind any inheritance.
I don't know, how come this Dan Hong has the inheritance of talisman making?
Could it be that he learned it from the Zhou family?
That's possible...
The Zhou family has been passed down for nearly two hundred years, and has already developed into the prototype of a family of immortal cultivators. With so many years of accumulation, it seems unsurprising that they have inherited some talisman making skills...
But now it has fallen into my hands.
If you do more good things, God will always reward you. Thumbs up!
Chen Changsheng had no idea that the deceased Zhou Yesen was the most senior talisman maker in the Zhou family, and that Shan Hong learned the talisman making technique from Zhou Yesen.
Of course, he only learned some simple talismans. Because of Dan Hong's cultivation level and the need to avoid being discovered, he hasn't learned the more complex ones yet...
