Chapter 84 Seven Foundation Buildings
To be on the safe side, Chen An gave each of the three people a foundation-building pill of perfect quality.
Looking at the figures of the three people, Chen An thought of Chen Lun, and his expression couldn't help but be a little lonely. He was already 35 when he laid the foundation. Now he is in his fifties. Chen Lun is already over 70 years old, and his qi and blood are declining. It is a pity that he has not been able to break through to the perfection of Qi training in these years.
The Chen family rose too late, and he missed the opportunity to rise on this trend.
It's fate and it's time, and it cannot be reversed by human power.
Fortunately, the Chen family is not without people. The perfect quality foundation-building pill can increase the success rate by 40%. It should not be a problem for the three people in front of them to break through the foundation-building stage.
"Alright, when you three are ready, go to the top of the mountain to build your foundation. Chen Qing will protect you. If anything unexpected happens, I will be there to help you at any time."
After giving the order, Chen An waved his hand to signal Chen Qing to take the three people who were still in a dazed state away.
Man proposes, God disposes. He has already provided the elixir, so whether the three of them can establish their foundation depends on themselves.
Two months later, the three of them were ready and went to the second-level spiritual vein at the top of the peak to build their foundation.
Chen An also activated the Phantom Light Killing Array of Yunwu Mountain early on to cover up the noise of the three people when they were building their foundation.
Not long after it started, a beam of light was seen heading towards Yunwu Mountain.
Chen An's heart trembled, thinking that it was a demon cultivator coming to attack. He looked up over Yunwu Mountain and saw that it was Chen Zishun who had returned.
"Why did you come back? What's the situation at the mine?" Chen An asked puzzledly.
After the two arrived at Chen An's cave, Chen Zishun said, "A lot of cultivators have come to reinforce the mine. With people from Qingyun Sect guarding it, there won't be much of a problem. They were worried that the demon cultivators would break through from our side, so they sent Wang Feihu and I back."
Chen An nodded slightly and asked, "Where is Chen Fengshuo? Why hasn't he come back? Could it be..."
"He's fine! He's just about to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, so he plans to hone his skills there for a while to advance his cultivation."
Then, Chen Zishun talked about the specific situation on the front line.
Chen An learned that Qingyun Sect had sent several foundation-building cultivators, including two in the late foundation-building stage, as well as quite a few Qi-cultivating disciples. Their strength should not be underestimated and should be enough to protect the mineral veins.
Among them, Xu Yuanlang from the Xu family managed to break through to the late stage of foundation building by chance and killed two foundation building demon cultivators. He was in the limelight and made the demon cultivators quite fearful.
The eastern defense line is temporarily safe, but the Wang and Chen families in the west are not necessarily safe.
The demon cultivator has been much more low-key recently. He must be planning something big, which is why he sent the two of them back.
"Huh? Someone is building a foundation?" Chen Zishun noticed something unusual at this time. He had also experienced this stage in the past, so he was naturally more sensitive.
"Yes, it's Chen Dazhuang and the others."
Two months later, the three men lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully built their foundations.
The breakthrough process of Chen Maoxin, Chen Dazhuang and Chen Youliang was relatively smooth. With the help of the perfect foundation-building pill, there were no unexpected breakthroughs.
At this point, the number of foundation-building cultivators in the Chen family has greatly increased, and their strength has skyrocketed. Including Chen An, there are a total of seven foundation-building cultivators!
Afterwards, the three were ordered to travel around Yunwu Mountain and patrol the movements of the demon cultivators at all times, with a focus on the Black Wind Mountain in the south. At the same time, Chen An also gave them spiritual weapons, flying swords harvested from Fengyingpu, and several flying star talismans, in case they encountered demon cultivators and needed to use them to escape.
Watching the three people flying back and forth over Yunwu Mountain, the Chen family members felt much more secure, and there was a more relaxed atmosphere in the family compound.
Chen An was quite satisfied. The Chen family was now as solid as a rock. Even if a demon cultivator at the ninth level of foundation building invaded, he would be killed even if he came with his life.
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Chen An took a tour of Yunwu Mountain and was about to return to his cave when a childish and slightly rebellious voice came from below, attracting his attention.
Looking closely, somewhere in the family compound, Chen Duoduo was surrounded by a group of wives, concubines, and children. The children ranged from infants to teenagers, and there were more than a dozen of them!
The corner of Chen An's mouth twitched. It seemed that Chen Qing had taken many concubines for him over the years.
"What is there to be afraid of! Let's charge straight over from Black Wind Mountain and let the Yin Demon Sect see how powerful we are!" A sixteen-year-old boy looked up at Chen Dazhuang and others flying overhead and said with disdain on his face.
This young man has a strong and majestic figure with a strong build and full of energy. He is a good candidate for physical training.
Chen An knew him; he was Chen Duoduo's son, Chen Zhan!
It is said that this kid loves fighting and often causes chaos among the tribesmen. He has caused trouble for his father and grandfather over the years.
"Zhan'er, stop talking nonsense!" Chen Duoduo scolded.
Many years have passed, and Chen Duoduo has only reached the sixth level of Qi training, and has yet to break through to the late stage of Qi training. Given his qualifications as a low-quality spiritual root, there is probably no hope for him to build a foundation.
Compared to Chen Zhan, Chen Kebao, who seldom shows up in public, is relatively quiet. With the talent of a middle-grade spiritual root and the great cultivation of Chen Qing, he has reached the fifth level of Qi training at the age of sixteen and is almost surpassing his father.
"Oh no!"
Chen An was observing the two young men when he heard Chen Youliang's cries from a distance.
When Chen Duoduo's family in the compound heard this, they rushed into their houses like frightened rabbits.
Only Chen Zhan stood motionless in the yard with a fighting spirit, as if he had the urge to go out and kill the enemy.
"Get back here!" Chen Duoduo stepped forward and kicked him back into the room.
Chen An approached Chen Youliang, who was rushing towards him using the Flying Star Talisman, and asked, "Have you found any traces of the demon cultivator?"
Chen Youliang took a deep breath and hurriedly replied, "I just went to the outskirts of Black Wind Mountain for a patrol. From a distance, I saw the Yin Demon Sect's flying boat speeding towards Shuanghu Mountain. The speed is comparable to that of a mid-stage foundation building cultivator. If it weren't for the Flying Star Talisman, I would have been caught up by them!"
After saying this, Chen Youliang hurriedly swallowed a pill to restore his spiritual power, looking still frightened.
Chen An asked quickly: "Can you sense the aura of a Jindan cultivator?"
"That's not true."
Chen An breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered all his clansmen to return to the formation of Yunwu Mountain. All members of the Chen family were on high alert.
As for supporting the Wang family, it is completely impossible. He would be thankful if the demon cultivators did not come to the various parts of Yunwu Mountain. Why would he take the initiative to bring bad luck upon himself?
After calling back his clansmen, Chen An asked Chen Youliang to inquire about the movements of the demon cultivators from time to time in order to arrange the next matters.
A black flying boat several dozen feet long slowly sailed past Black Wind Mountain.
Feeling the breath of the ninth level of foundation building above, the monsters below scattered like birds and beasts, and did not dare to attack at all.
At this moment, the ten foundation-building demon cultivators at the bow of the boat surrounded a thin figure in a black robe and looked towards the direction of the Qingyun Region.
"Left Protector, in my opinion, we should attack Yunwu Mountain first." A demon cultivator behind him suggested.
"Oh? Tell me what you think." The leading left protector said with interest.
"There are only the Wang and Chen families on this line in the west. As long as we occupy Yunwu Mountain first and then destroy Shuanghu Mountain, we will have no worries in the future and can directly face the several major mineral veins of Qingyun Sect!"
The left protector nodded slightly and said, "Yes, if there are flies harassing you when you are attacking a mine, it is not a big deal, but it is very annoying."
The Chen family is closest to the Black Wind Mountain. As long as they turn a corner, they can head all the way from the Yunwu Mountain to the Shuanghu Mountain. It is just a matter of convenience for them.
"Okay, let's do as you say and attack Yunwu Mountain first!"
