"I have already done that."
Chen Fuguang, as if he had anticipated his master's plan, continued, "The gift is the [ Azure Wood Accumulated Verdure Ritual ], which perfectly matches Tianjun's Spirit Root attribute."
You did a great job.
"Besides that, there is one more thing."
Chen Shuangbai looked at Chen Yazhen and saw a slight hesitation on the face of this second disciple.
But he didn't press further, simply waiting quietly for what would happen next.
Chen Yazhen hesitated for a moment, but still honestly recounted the whole story, saying only:
"The man from the Huangji Chen Clan came to Jade Screen Peak, saying it was about a secret of the Chen Clan family, and he prayed that he could exchange it for some resources for his cultivation!"
The Huangji Chen Clan was once the head of the White Water Chen Clan.
It was only because the main family had schemed to seize the property of the White Water Chen Clan years ago and had used coercion that they were disliked by Chen Shuangbai. Now that the two Chen Clan have separated, they no longer have the responsibility of master and servant, and can be considered to worship their own ancestors.
The Huangji Chen Clan also submitted to the Jade Spring Sect. If any member of the sect had good Spirit Root or aptitude, they would naturally become disciples of the Jade Spring Sect.
The person Chen Yazhen was referring to was Chen Zonglin, who came from the Huangji Chen Clan.
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly, looked at her second disciple, and asked, "Did he really say that?"
"Yes."
Chen Fuguang picked up the conversation, adding, "He's quite talented, has the support of his Lineage, and has made many contributions over the years, receiving ample resources from the sect. He's already at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly and lowered her head in thought.
After the birth of Chen Yazhen and Chen Fuguang, the siblings of the Chen family in the White Water Chen Clan, Chen Shuangbai already had some doubts about the Chen Clan's migration from the Xu Kingdom to the Jing Kingdom.
However, with the situation constantly changing, as the Jade Spring Dao Child, his attention was mostly focused on the domestic and international situations, and he did not pursue the matter too much.
Where is he now?
"Still on the peak."
Chen Shuangbai nodded and gave Chen Yazhen an approving look. "Well done."
"Let him come to see me at the Jade Soul Palace."
"Yes."
Chen Yazhen turned around, her body shimmering with light blue hues, and she rode away in a beam of light.
Only Chen Fuguang remained inside the hall.
Chen Shuangbai looked at his eldest disciple and asked, " Fuguang, how many of your Uncle Shenyang's Martial Dao Divine Ability you comprehended yet?"
Shenyang is a direct descendant of the Divine Yang Sect and is proficient in the Divine Yang Sect's Martial Dao and supernatural Divine Ability.
And Chen Fuguang's own Dao Path also aligns with this.
In addition, he was eager to learn, and Shenyang did not keep anything to himself. Chen Fuguang would often come to Shenyang for advice, so his progress was quite fast.
The master and disciple chatted about cultivation for a while.
Chen Yazhen returned quickly.
A light blue streak of light landed in front of the hall, then faded, revealing Chen Yazhen's figure.
Behind her followed a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, dressed in a blue Daoist robe; this was Chen Zonglin.
"Master, Junior Brother Chen has arrived."
After Chen Yazhen finished speaking, she stepped aside.
Chen Zonglin followed closely behind, entered the main hall, and respectfully bowed to Chen Shuangbai: "Disciple Chen Zonglin pays respects to Dao Child True Lord."
Outside, Chen Shuangbai has many names.
The most widely known is Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, while relatives and friends often call him True Lord Xuhong. However, within the Jade Spring Sect itself, disciples mostly call Dao Child, followed by a respectful title based on his realm.
Chen Shuangbai took a careful look at this member of the same clan.
Just as Chen Yazhen said, this person is already in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and upon closer inspection with her Dharma Eye, it is clear that his foundation is indeed solid, and there is also a light blue light of Divine Ability floating behind his head, which shows that he has not taken any shortcuts in his cultivation.
Chen Shuangbai had dealt with him before, but there were many conflicts between them at that time.
Although Chen Shuangbai despised the Huangji Chen Clan, he had not yet gone so far as to want to exterminate the entire Huangji Chen Clan.
later.
As Chen Shuangbai continued to advance along the Dao Path, he had now become Nascent Soul True Lord. Had it not been for today's incident, he would have completely forgotten about this matter.
" Yazhen said you want to exchange the secrets of the Chen Clan clan for cultivation resources?"
The sword immortal strolled over, and although his tone was gentle, the vast aura and invisible pressure unique to the Nascent Soul True Lord level still spread out naturally like a tide, causing Chen Zonglin, who was kneeling in the hall, to feel his breath catch in his throat.
But Chen Zonglin is no longer the Qi Refining cultivator who could be easily manipulated by his Lineage.
Chen Zonglin now holds a powerful position within the clan, and the entire Huangji Chen Clan relies on him. Therefore, he is confident and has not shown too much fear.
"Yes Dao Child, that is indeed true."
"Then tell me."
Chen Zonglin's heart skipped a beat.
He slightly raised his eyes, only to be met with a blinding golden light that stung his vision, causing tears to stream down his face. He could only lower his head again, realizing that there was not much difference between speaking earlier and later.
Chen Zonglin took a deep breath, then took something out of his sleeve and respectfully presented it above his head.
It was a jade artifact.
Shaped like a wine vessel, it has faint cracks all over its body and unknown runes on its surface, making it look like an ordinary jade wine vessel.
He looked again.
The runes on the wine vessel were different from those of modern cultivators, exhibiting an extremely ancient style with a sense of the wild and untamed nature of the Middle Ages.
Chen Shuangbai stretched out his hand, and the jade wine vessel flew into his palm automatically.
He examined it carefully for a moment, and then a Divine Ability light gradually emanated from his palm, flowing into the jade vessel.
The runes on the surface of the jade vessel seemed to light up, emitting a faint bluish-white glow, resembling either a Secret Method or a travelogue.
Upon seeing this, Chen Zonglin thought to himself, "Just as I expected."
Chen Shuangbai gradually withdrew his Divine Ability, scrutinizing the jade vessel with his gaze, and asked, "Tell me in detail."
"Yes!"
This is a secret passed down through generations of the Huangji Chen Clan.
The Chen Clan migrated from the Xu Kingdom to the Jing Kingdom, but the Xu Kingdom was not the true ancestral home of the Chen Clan.
The ancestors of the Chen Clan family actually originated overseas.
To be precise, the ancestors of the Chen Clan family originated from an ancient Daoist temple overseas.
Chen Zonglin recounted all the information he had obtained from his clan, as if it were his most treasured possession.
"My ancestor Chen Clan, was once the keeper of the Daoist canon at that ancient Daoist temple, guarding the canon for his master."
"Later, the ancient Daoist temple suffered a great upheaval, and its lineage was severed. Our ancestor fell from the temple back to the sea, wandering for decades before finally landing on land and fleeing to the Xu Kingdom, where he lived in anonymity and continued his bloodline."
"Subsequently, the situation in the Xu Kingdom became turbulent, and the Transformation Sect rose to power. Fearing the extinction of their lineage, the clan decisively abandoned their Xu Kingdom foundation and moved their entire family to the Jing Kingdom, joining the Jade Spring Sect, where they remain to this day."
"As for this item, it is a token that our ancestor brought back from that ancient Daoist temple..."
"It is said that if a junior wishes to trace the origin of their bloodline, they must first reach the Nascent Soul stage... only then will they be qualified to access this item and seek the origin of that Daoist temple."
