Chapter 37: Heavenly Spirit Fruit (Please read and collect)
As expected, the spiritual fertilizer belonged to Chen An in this competition.

Amid the envious, shocked and jealous looks of several people, Chen An took the fertilizer and left with a brisk pace.

Now that we have the spiritual fertilizer, and when we get the spiritual fertilizer from the Wang family, the top-grade spiritual field will be a sure thing.

Chen An went all the way back to Lingtian.

He opened the bag of spiritual fertilizer, shot out the Gengjin sword finger, and the sword energy turned into golden silk thread, which wrapped the spiritual fertilizer and flew over the spiritual field, evenly pouring it in the spiritual field.

Lean less.

Soybean-sized raindrops fell, emitting rich spiritual energy, melting the spiritual fertilizer that had just been poured, seeping into the soil, and slowly increasing the fertility of the spiritual field.

With the nourishment of top-quality spiritual fertilizer, a lot of perfect quality spiritual plants will be able to increase in the next season.

Beautiful!
After Chen An finished his work, he returned to his cave and took some pills to practice.

The pills harvested from farming alone were not enough for his daily practice.

Some of the Qi-nourishing pills that I take on a daily basis were exchanged from my clan members, but their quality is ordinary.

Today I harvested a wave of high-quality and perfect Qi-nourishing pills, so of course I had to take a few.

Unlike Chen An, everyone in the Chen family is worried now.

Especially Chen Qing.

The tribesmen who went to the ruins cave to seek opportunities have been gone for almost half a year and there has been no news since then.

Chen Qing couldn't help but worry.

The Chen family has sent all its elite troops on this mission. If anything goes wrong, even if several elders are killed, the Chen family will definitely be seriously damaged.

By then, not to mention competing with the Liu family, even maintaining the current foundation will become a problem.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing could only silently wish them well.

A few days later.

Members of the Chen family who were patrolling Yunwu Mountain spotted a flying boat approaching in the distant sky.

Looking at its direction, it points directly to Yunwu Mountain!

They recognized that this flying boat was the one that the Chen family members took when they left.

"They're back! The three elders are back!"

The patrolling monks on the mountain hurried back to their families to report the news.

For a moment, the entire Chen family was in an uproar.

After receiving the news, Chen An walked out of the cave out of curiosity, wanting to see if the Chen family had found the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Chen family compound was now filled with monks.

Except for a small number of monks who were away from home, almost everyone came.

When he arrived at the gate of the compound, Chen An saw a familiar strong figure walking out. His expression changed slightly and he immediately went to greet him.

"Da Zhuang! How was the trip?"

He looked behind Chen Dazhuang and didn't see Chen Dengming, and his heart skipped a beat.

Chen Dazhuang's eyes were red: "Chen Dengming is dead, and the third elder is also dead."

Chen An sighed in his heart and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

As expected, opportunities are always accompanied by dangers. In the world of immortal cultivation, as long as people fight for opportunities, people will die.

"So what happened?"

Chen Dazhuang sighed and said, "We followed the three elders to the cave entrance and entered with the other cultivators from the family and Qingyun Sect."

"It was going smoothly at the beginning. We followed the instructions of the three elders. We fought for the treasures we could fight for, and let go of the ones we couldn't fight for. We put our lives and safety first."

"I also seized several mid-grade magical instruments and several high-quality spiritual herbs. The harvest was quite substantial."

"Until the foundation-building pill appeared in the ruins cave."

After listening, Chen An sighed.

According to Chen Dazhuang's narration, after the Foundation Establishment Pill appeared, the disciples of several major families and Qingyun Sect all became bloodthirsty.

Chen Dazhuang and other cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training were slightly weaker and did not participate in it, thus luckily saving their lives.

However, Chen Dengming became greedy and was attacked and killed by the crowd while fighting for a top-grade magic weapon.

In the melee, many monks were killed or injured.

At the critical moment, some monk triggered the mechanism and activated the formation in the cave, trapping everyone.

In order to get out, everyone put aside their prejudices and worked together to break the formation.

After several months, the formation was broken.

At that time, Qingyun Sect got the foundation-building pill. In order to have the opportunity to build the foundation, other cultivators joined hands outside the cave to stop the Qingyun Sect cultivators, and there was another round of fighting. The remaining Chen family elders saw that 30% to 40% of the clan members had died, and the third elder had also died, so they simply left.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Fengshuo also participated in the trip to the ruins cave, and his cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi training.

His performance in the cave was very impressive, and it was said that he had seized a lot of opportunities.

Chen An thought to himself, this kid really followed them.

The strange thing is that the other party's cultivation progress is not inferior to his at all, as if he has undergone a transformation.

Chen An immediately thought of the bronze ring that Chen Fengshuo found at the family trade fair.

Is it really possible?
I originally thought that Chen Fengshuo was just being scammed, but I didn't expect that he would actually get a good fortune.

Is there an old man inside the ring?

Chen An thought with a strange look on his face.

After finding out the whole story, Chen An sent Chen Dazhuang home.

Chen Dazhuang and the Third Elder had a master-disciple relationship. Now that both his master and his fellow apprentice were dead, he must be very sad.

Since the Chen family did not participate in the final competition, they did not know much about the final ownership of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But what is certain is that it should not be in the hands of the Chen family, otherwise it would not be so easy to come back.

After telling Chen Dazhuang to have a good rest, Chen An left.

Returning to the cave, he gazed at his spiritual field.

The seeds planted a few days ago have broken through the soil and grown into sprouts.

Looking back on this incident, I feel that farming is still a good idea.

It's too dangerous outside. Until you have enough strength to protect yourself, it's better not to step out of Yunwu Mountain!
Chen An thought so.

After Chen An returned to the cave, a beam of light flashed across the sky above Yunwu Mountain, landed on the top of the mountain, and headed straight for the Chen family hall.

Chen Qing and three elders who were sitting in the hall hurriedly stood up and saluted when they saw Old Master Chen.

Old Master Chen took a quick look and found that only the third elder Chen Yuanzhong was missing. His expression was gloomy and he had already guessed something in his mind.

After some communication, I learned about what had happened in the past six months.

The death of the Third Elder was caused by the Liu family during the fight for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"It's the Liu family again!"

Old Master Chen then sighed and said, "When an opportunity comes, we must fight for it. If we don't get the foundation-building pill, we can only blame our lack of strength."

The fourth elder's expression changed, and he took out a deep blue fruit that exuded a rich fragrance:
"Ancestor, it's not like we got nothing."

Old Master Chen was shocked, and he stretched out his wrinkled hands to take it, "Heavenly Spirit Fruit!"

The Tianling Fruit is the main ingredient for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. With this fruit, one third of the Foundation Establishment Pill can be said to have been obtained.

What remains are other precious elixirs and a second-level alchemist!
Then, the elder took out three soybean-sized seeds.

Old Master Chen shook his head slightly: "My Chen family does not have a second-level spiritual field, even if there are heavenly spiritual fruit seeds, it is of little significance."

"You can keep it for now. Maybe there will be capable young people in the clan who can grow it in the future."

"However, if I haven't obtained the foundation-building pill yet, I won't be far away from getting it with this fruit!"

Old Master Chen continued, "Qingyun Sect has always strictly controlled foundation-building pills, so you can't ask them to make pills."

This matter is related to the foundation building and even more so to the continuation of the Chen family, so one cannot help but act with caution.

Chen Qing frowned and asked, "Do you know any other alchemists?"

"When I was training in the six regions of the Far East in my early years, I met a second-rank alchemist. After all these years, I don't know if he is still around." The grandfather was in a good mood, his face flushed a little.

Qingyun Territory is one of the six territories in the Far East. He trained in other territories in his early years and was fortunate to meet a second-level alchemist.

He couldn't help but feel grateful for his previous experience, otherwise, it would be very difficult to refine the foundation-building pill this time.

God bless our Chen family!
Old Master Chen ordered, "First, prepare the other spiritual medicines for refining the foundation-building pill. Then, I will go to find the alchemist in person."

Chen Qing, the first elder, the second elder and the fourth elder were all moved, wondering who would get the foundation-building pill this time.

However, it is predictable that whoever cultivates to the ninth level of Qi training first will have a greater chance of obtaining it.

Except for the Fourth Elder who is at the seventh level of Qi training, the other three are at the eighth level of Qi training.

The second elder, Chen Rui, has mastered the art of alchemy and entered the eighth level of Qi training several years earlier than the others. He seems to have the greatest hope.

However, only the Fourth Elder and the Patriarch Chen Qing are young, in their early forties, while the First Elder and the Second Elder are already over sixty years old. Even if the latter two have the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, I'm afraid the chances of successfully establishing a foundation will be very slim.

The Fourth Elder and Chen Qing looked at each other, wondering what was in each of their minds.
