Natural fairy species

Deep in the hall, there are memorial tablets dedicated to several ancestors who have made outstanding contributions since the Bai family established their foothold in the Black Mountain Mountains. Twenty-four longevity candles as thick as arms stand on both sides, and the dim candlelight reflects the flickering of the tablets.

The middle-aged man sitting in the center of the hall is none other than Bai Xianzhong, the current patriarch of the Bai family. He was in the early stages of establishing his foundation. He has been in charge of the family for twenty years and his reputation has become more and more prosperous. It can be said that one person supports the Bai family.

There are four men and one woman on both sides, all monks in the late stage of Qi refining. They are in charge of the Bai family's foundation and are the five elders of the clan.

Further down, there were many columns divided according to each department's duties and cultivation levels. It was a crowded and dark place. Basically all the monks of the Bai family who were currently in the clan were present, and the atmosphere in the whole place was quiet and solemn.

Bai Zichen and Bai Ying stood at the back. They were short, and even when they stood on tiptoes, they could only see the shoulders of the adults in front.

"The uncle seems to be in the second row. It seems that his status in the clan is not bad. After all, he is only one step away from the late stage of Qi refining. Once he breaks through, he will become the main fighting force in the clan."

With their two ages, if it weren't for the special nature of the whole clan meeting, as long as the Bai family monks could attend regardless of their age and cultivation level, they would not be qualified to enter the council hall. But it was just a decoration. No matter how the whole clan discussed it, the two teenage children would not be able to interrupt, and the rest of the people's attention would not be on them.

Fatty Bai stretched his head, looking very excited, and lowered his voice: "Brother Chen, have you heard what the clan leader said? Even the Qingfeng Gate has confirmed that it is the cave of Wuyue Zhenren. Our Bai family will be able to dig it out this time. One or two treasures will be developed, and maybe there will be a new position among the five major cultivating families in a few years!"

Chen Taige, a real person from the Five Sacred Mountains, was known as the number one casual cultivator in Mizhou three hundred years ago. He was once a late Jindan cultivator who was expected to reach the realm of Nascent Soul, and he had quite a reputation throughout the Liang Kingdom.

After returning to his hometown of Heishan County in his later years, the Qingfeng Sect was even more overwhelmed. After all, although the Supreme Elder in the sect was also a Jindan master, he was far behind Chen Taige, the number one casual cultivator in Mizhou.

Chen Taige's natal magic weapon is a set of heavy magic weapons in the shape of five peaks, which is why he got his title. The five peaks appeared together, and countless monks died under this magic weapon.

However, this real person seemed to have no heirs. After his transformation, the disciples who followed him quickly dispersed, but several magic weapons, including the Five Sacred Peaks, were nowhere to be found.

At that time, some people speculated that Wuyue Zhenren had a real treasure cave in the dark, and there was a treasure hunting craze within a hundred years after his death. After a long time, it slowly faded away.

Bai Zichen carefully recalled the records about Wuyue Zhenren in the Heishan County Chronicles, and couldn't help but be fascinated by them.

"The key to the Wuyue Immortal Cave Mansion depends on the attitude of the Qingfeng Sect. If they are willing to give us a sip of the soup, it will be good, but if they want to monopolize this opportunity and exclude all the immortal cultivating families, our Bai family will have to work hard. I'm afraid I can only lose my wife and lose my troops with all my strength."

Elder Bai Shoushun, who has white beard and hair but rosy complexion, is as powerful as Hong Zhong. Not only is he a Qi-refining Dzogchen practitioner, he is also a senior member of the family. "Honggu, your Jiang Liang comes from the Qingfeng Sect, and his master is the elder of the Fu Palace." Position, has he heard any news from within the sect, and what are the plans of those big shots?"

In Heishan County, Qingfeng Sect has the best and most resources, and has a vague rivalry with other immortal cultivating families.

But after so many years, I have become a part of you, and you have become a part of me.

For example, the Bai family has more than ten disciples who have joined the sect from generation to generation. The Taoist companion of Elder Hong Gu was also a disciple of the inner sect of Qingfeng Sect. Although he is not good at fighting and fighting, he is famous for his talisman skills and is already a first-level disciple. A top-grade talisman master.

"Brother Liang sent a letter yesterday. The opinion of several elders of Qingfeng Sect is to unite with several immortal cultivating families to first encircle Wuyue Zhenren's cave and drive away the scattered cultivators, and then slowly develop it..."

The only woman among the five elders is a middle-aged beautiful woman with a plump figure and a hint of weather in the corners of her eyes. She pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"It would be great if we have the opportunity to cooperate. Our family contributes a lot of resources to the Qingfeng Sect every year. We also respond positively to any orders. This response should not be left behind for us."

"It's hard to say. Those five families are so powerful that if they really join forces, even the Qingfeng Sect will have a headache. They will definitely care about their ideas."

It was said to be a whole-clan meeting, but it was actually a discussion among the five elders. Occasionally, Bai Xianzhong would say something, and everyone would immediately stop and listen, waiting for him to finish before continuing the discussion. Regardless of their status, no one from the rest of the tribe would dare to speak without permission unless called upon by the elders.

Bai Zichen was hiding at the back, leaning against a beam and listening with great interest. How could he know so many sects of various families in Heishan County and his own clan just by reading books, many of which he would need to pay attention to when he walked in the world of immortality in the future.

"...Then it's settled. Tomorrow Honggu and Bai Lu will take a group of clan members to set off with me to Wuyue Zhenren's cave. The clan affairs will be handed over to the elder. In addition, the patrol team will cheer me up and send more people. , Increase the number of patrols, and use thunderous means when necessary. Loose cultivators have gathered recently to prevent some unsighted Jie cultivators from coming to my Bai family with evil intentions."

With the decision from the patriarch Bai Xianzhong, the next action of the Bai family was decided.

The removal of a foundation-building monk, two elders and a team of elite family monks at once would inevitably leave a lot of strength inside the Bai family. Bai Zichen suddenly felt that the family was not as safe as he imagined, and the original plan for steady development might not be possible. After changing it, I am still too weak.

A boy who had just successfully refined his Qi had not yet learned any spells and had no life-saving means at his disposal. Even a few strong men armed with weapons could threaten him.

…

"Chen'er, there are five Vajra Talisman, five Fireball Talisman, and five Divine Movement Talisman here. I taught you the specific usage methods last night. You must remember them well."

Bai Jiuan rubbed Bai Zichen's head and said earnestly, "While uncle is not at home, don't run around. Live well with Bai Ying and his family on Qingfeng Cliff. Don't go back to Fufeng Ridge for the time being."

"Uncle, I understand." Bai Zichen nodded honestly.

As soon as the clan meeting ended yesterday, Bai Jiu'an received a notice and was selected into a team of twelve people to go to the Wuyue Zhenren Cave with the clan leader.

The family's orders cannot be violated, not to mention that there are big risks, which are naturally accompanied by big opportunities.

He is a Four Spiritual Roots cultivator, and he has less than ten years left before the window of energy and blood decay at the age of fifty. If he still wants to rush to the foundation building stage, he will have no chance without risking his life.

But as a young nephew who has just embarked on the path to immortality, he can't rest assured. The Bai family has set up a large formation with Hanxiu Peak as the center. However, the edge areas only have basic functions of early warning and blindness. Only the formation within the main peak can provide real protection. Kill the enemy.

After thinking about it, he simply entrusted Bai Zichen to Bai Ying's parents. Both of them were middle-stage Qi refining monks. They had the ability to protect themselves if they encountered a calamity cultivator. The family patrol team could arrive after a little delay.

At the same time, in order to give my little nephew a certain degree of self-protection, he stuffed a bunch of talismans over.

It is said that human relationships in the world of immortality are indifferent, and Taoist friends, tribesmen, and even Taoist companions, masters and disciples can betray themselves in the face of interests, but Bai Zichen still felt the true care from his uncle.

After explaining the matters and greeting Bai Ying's parents, Bai Jiu'an left in a hurry. Looking at his back, Bai Zichen's heart suddenly felt heavy.

It is the worry about the uncertain future of his uncle's trip, the anxiety about his own low cultivation level, and the confusion about the fate of the Bai family amid the turmoil.

Once a family member like him loses the family's protection, his life will be like that of the lowest-level casual cultivator, wandering in the wind and rain, with no fixed place to live.
