Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

"Hu Zi also has a special physique, a spiritual body?" Chen Ku was very surprised.

"Ah."

Chen Xin nodded, turned his head and looked into the house, revealing a trace of kindness, and said:
"Spiritual bodies are considered a kind of genius physique in Yuan Country, so I plan to let him embark on the path of cultivation."

Say it.

He looked at Chen Ku, as if waiting for Chen Ku's consent.

Chen Ku heard a lot of meaning from Chen Xin's words. He took a deep breath and said, "You, want to take Hu Zi to Yuan Kingdom?"

From a standpoint, he seemed to have nothing to refuse, but Chen Xin still asked for his opinion, obviously feeling guilty.

"Yes, this is what I thought. I plan to take them away. At the same time...I came back this time to take my mother to Yuan Country, and I also want to take my eldest sister and her family away together."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Ku and said:
"The most important thing is you. I still say the same thing as last time. Do you want to go to Yuan Kingdom with me? If you are willing, we two brothers can work together in Yuan Kingdom to conquer the world."

"I have no objection to you taking your wife and children with you, but my mother is old, and my elder sister and brother-in-law may not be willing to go to Yuan State with you."

Chen Ku took a deep breath and said:

"As for me, I already answered you last time. I have no plans to go to Yuan Country."

"Is that so?"

Chen Xin's eyes flashed with sadness. He knew that he was in the wrong. In order to improve his family, he took the risk of smuggling drugs. As a result, he was reported and blocked on the road. He was forced into a desperate situation and fell into the river. Later, by chance, he joined the Changshou Sect, a major Qi training sect in Yuan Kingdom. Three years passed in the blink of an eye...

During these three years, it was his younger brother Chen Ku who supported the family and brought the Chen family step by step to its current status. Now, Chen Ku has become a martial arts scholar and is poised to become the number one master in Qiulong Mansion.

As for myself, because of the opening of my Yuan Ling body, I have been in seclusion in the Changshou Sect most of the time. Even when I went home for the Chinese New Year last year, I was not allowed to come out. I could only send a paper man to visit my family on my behalf.

But Chen Xin still did not give up persuading Chen Ku.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Since you know that the six major sects of Yuan Kingdom have stationed 100,000 troops on the border, you should know that the Yuan Kingdom army is heading south, and the war will soon spread to the entire north of Ji Kingdom. Not to mention that Qiulong Mansion will be unable to stay, even the entire Youzhou will be plunged into war. How can I watch you continue to stay in this environment, especially now that I have come out of retreat... I was sent to Ji Kingdom to inquire about the situation. This is a great opportunity for me to take you away."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Ku and said:
"In fact, I am most worried about you. You are now a military candidate of Ji State. Once the two countries go to war, a military candidate like you will most likely be called up to the battlefield. You can't imagine what kind of scene you will face then."

Chen Ku did not comment.

He just asked tentatively: "It sounds like you are very confident in the overall strength of the Yuan Kingdom? Do you think that the Yuan Kingdom must have the upper hand in this invasion from the south? And that the Ji Kingdom was beaten to a pulp?"

He wanted to know how Chen Xin came to have this mentality?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not deliberately bragging about the fighting power of the Yuan Kingdom. Among the five great countries in the world, the Dayun Dynasty is the strongest, one level stronger than the other countries. Below that, there is a clear ranking of national strength... Ji Kingdom is the weakest among the five great countries."

Chen Xin took a deep breath and said:

"Let's not talk about anything else. Take the masters of the coalition forces of the six major sects for example. It seems that the six major sect leaders are in charge of the command, but in fact, there is more than one thirteenth realm Mahayana cultivator in the coalition forces. As far as I know, there is no thirteenth realm warrior in the entire Youzhou area. The strong and the weak are clearly divided."

Thirteen realms? Mahayana realm?

Chen Ku's eyes were solemn.

A Qigong practitioner who is only one level lower than Tosan Heavenly King Xiongying? There is more than one!
Such a big scene?

"If the Yuan Kingdom's allied forces are really like what you said, then that means they have an almost absolute chance of winning. Why haven't they sent out troops directly? Instead, they are stationed at the border waiting for an opportunity?"

Chen Ku asked curiously:

"What are they waiting for?"

Chen Xin looked at his younger brother and said slowly: "Then let me ask you first, in your opinion, why did Yuan invade Ji? Do you know why?"

Chen Ku was slightly stunned.

He had never thought about this problem before.

We only know that the Yuan Dynasty is going to invade, but we don't know the reason for the invasion.

"Land territory? Population? Or some kind of resources?" Chen Ku answered tentatively.

In his view, a country invades another country simply for the purpose of annexing territory, expanding territory, and absorbing population.

"Your answers are all good, but land, territory and population are only a few insignificant reasons for Yuan to invade Ji. The real reason why Yuan decided to invade Ji is one thing."

As he spoke, Chen Xin took out a piece of jade from the storage gourd on his waist and said:
"Now that you have reached this level, you must know what this is."

"Lingyu?"

Chen Ku said immediately, his eyes slightly startled:

"The Yuan Kingdom invaded the Ji Kingdom for the Lingyu?"

Lingyu. He had just recently obtained more than a hundred pieces of Lingyu from Kong Xin, a Jindan Qigong practitioner from the Baoding Sect. He knew how precious this thing was. It contained spiritual energy and could help Qigong practitioners in their practice.

"Yes, it is the spiritual jade. To be more precise, it is some spiritual veins of Ji State."

Chen Xin said slowly:

"Although there are many cultivation systems in Yuan State, the main cultivation lineage is still inherited from the 'Immortal Dao System' created by the Immortal Ancestors in ancient times, with the Immortal Temple as the national temple and the Qigong practitioners as the main cultivation.

Different from martial artists' practice, who digest the essence contained in all things through their own bodies, Qigong practitioners practice by directly breathing in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

But the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not evenly distributed between heaven and earth after all, and will be affected by factors such as time and place. Some places are naturally conducive to the gathering of spiritual energy, making them the best places for practicing Qi. Over a long period of time, spiritual veins will form underground, which will infect underground ores and turn into spiritual jade.

The spiritual energy contained in a piece of spiritual jade is equivalent to the breathing exercises of a qigong practitioner for half a year. It can be said that the role of spiritual jade to qigong practitioners is like the role of food to mortals.

Ordinary people will starve to death if they don’t eat, and qigong practitioners will also starve to death if they don’t breathe in and out spiritual energy.

The reason why the six major sects wanted to invade the border of Ji State was because the spiritual veins and spiritual jades nurtured within the territories ruled by the six major sects could no longer guarantee the daily practice of the six major sects.

Since there is not enough food in our own territory, then naturally... we have to seek expansion outward, attack other people's territories, and rob other people's food."

Chen Xin raised his finger, pointed at the land of Ji State behind him, and said:
"In the territory of Ji State, because there are many warriors, the way of cultivation is literally to eat all kinds of tonic things like ordinary people, such as demon meat, elixirs, and herbs. This way of cultivation is not very violent for the absorption of spiritual veins, so the spiritual veins in many places in Ji State are very sufficient."

"So, it can be said that Yuan State has been fighting with other countries for spiritual vein resources for thousands of years."

"So that's it..."

After Chen Xin's explanation, Chen Ku's mind automatically transformed into a picture scroll that was easier for him to understand. It was just like the oil resources of some countries in his previous life, which were very precious and valuable, and would naturally breed plunder by powerful countries.

Chen Xin looked at his brother who had already understood, and slowly said: "The reason why the 100,000 sect coalition troops stationed at the border have not yet moved is because they are still waiting to explore the specific location of the spiritual vein resources in Youzhou within the territory of Ji State. Once they get the specific information, they will rush over with lightning speed, seize the location of the spiritual vein, and then form a stronghold at that location to further expand and annex Ji State." Chen Ku listened to what Chen Xin said.

He was somewhat silent.

After a moment, he slowly asked, "Now that you are already a cultivator of the Yuan Kingdom's Longevity Sect, is it appropriate for you to say so much to a warrior like me?"

"In my eyes, there is no difference between the Yuan Kingdom and the Ji Kingdom."

Chen Xin spoke calmly, saying:
"In Ji State, our family lived such a miserable life in our early years, crushed by heavy taxes. I have no feelings for Ji State, and I have even less feelings for Yuan State. It is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and I have no sense of identity there either. The only place I identify with is... our own home.

Before, I didn’t have enough ability to protect you, but now I have it. I have awakened my Yuanling body. Once this physique is fully developed, I can become a Qigong practitioner at the eleventh level. And this is just the beginning for my physique.

This is what the Longevity Sect of Yuan Kingdom sees in me. The Longevity Sect is only a subordinate sect of the 'Sanxing Cave', a holy place for spiritual practice in Yuan Kingdom. Now that my Yuan Lingti has achieved minor success, it has been noticed by the Sanxing Cave, and they have sent me an invitation.

Next, I just lack some merit, and now as long as I complete this mission, after I go back, the merit will be enough for me to have a 70% to 80% chance of entering Sanxing Cave, which is a holy place for cultivating immortals in the Yuan Kingdom and has the right to speak. It has more than a dozen major sects under its command.

I will take you with me then."

Say it.

He looked at Chen Ku enthusiastically again and said:

"Second brother, really, come with me. I can make our family's life better and more prosperous. We can even establish a branch of our Chen family in the Central Plains of Yuan Kingdom. When the time comes, I will be responsible for external wars, and you can be the patriarch of our Chen family."

Chen Ku looked at this elder brother carefully.

With the heart blood warning and the change map, he could clearly sense the sincerity and truthfulness in Chen Xin's words, and he really did have such a dream.

But Chen Ku still shook his head and said:
"If it is true as you said, that Yuan Kingdom will have thirteen-level Mahayana cultivators going on the expedition, and you are going to the Three Star Cave after completing this mission, then perhaps it is the safest choice for your family to go there with you. As long as they are willing, I will have no other objections, but... I myself will not go to Yuan Kingdom with you."

"Second brother! I know you have resentment in your heart, blaming me for throwing everything to you in the past three years." Chen Xin sighed and pleaded, "So, come with me and give me a chance to make it up to you."

"Don't think too much. I don't hate you."

Chen Ku shook his head, exhaled, looked into the distance, and said:

"The reason why I don't go with you is because I have my own path to follow in Jiguo. You have your adventures, and I have my life plan."

The Xiawang Realm, the Destroying Law Building, and many of his secrets and treasures still need to be revealed in Ji State for him to go further.

at this time.

In the inner courtyard of Chen Ku's house, watching the two brothers arguing, the old mother, Hu Zi, Xu Lan, Chen Tian, ​​and Li Yuancheng were all silent.

Finally, they watched as two brothers walked in.

"Erlang." After a moment of silence, Chen's mother asked, "Your brother has told us a lot these days. If a war really breaks out, will you go to the battlefield? If that's the case, let's go."

She was a simple villager who only knew that the battlefield was a place where people died. Although her son seemed to have some skills now, when he went to the battlefield, he would face huge numbers of enemies, and possibly even masters who could fly and escape from the ground. No matter how capable her son was, he could not say that he could escape unscathed.

After hearing his old mother's words, Chen Ku knew that she had been persuaded by Chen Xin and wanted to stay away from the war and go to a quiet and peaceful place.

Chen Ku took a deep breath and said without saying anything more, "Mom, don't worry, I won't go to the battlefield easily, but what my elder brother said is true. Once the fighting starts, Qiulong Mansion will be in danger. I'm afraid there will be no safe place in the whole Youzhou, so you should follow my elder brother."

"We? You... aren't going with us?" Eldest sister Chen Tian immediately became excited.

"Second Uncle." Hu Zi also ran over immediately, hugged Chen Ku's legs, and said, "Second Uncle, I don't want to leave you."

Chen Ku touched Hu Zi's head, smiled at his family, and said, "I still have a lot of things to do in Ji State. When I finish, I will come to you. If you don't believe me, ask my eldest brother if it is convenient for me to go to Yuan State."

He looked at Chen Xin.

Chen Xin couldn't help but think of Chen Ku's ability to travel between the two countries several times. He was slightly surprised and nodded to his family, "The second brother's ability is not inferior to mine. Let's go first, and I will come to pick him up in person later."

Chen Ku listened to Chen Xin's words and asked, "When do you plan to take them away?"

Chen Xin wanted to say today, the sooner the better, since there was nothing to take away, but when he realized Chen Ku had just returned, he said softly, "Tomorrow."

"Yeah." Chen Ku didn't say much.

He knew the overall situation. He learned from Chen Xin that the coalition forces of the Yuan Dynasty sects were just waiting for an exact location of a spiritual vein. Once it was confirmed, they would launch a general attack at any time.

After comforting the family.

Chen Ku and Chen Xin came outside again.

Chen Ku looked at him and asked, "Regarding the Yuan invasion, aren't you worried that I will report it to the top leaders of the Ji Kingdom?"

He had been preparing to report the matter a long time ago. After all, he was still expecting Ji State to be able to block Yuan State outside the country and create a comfortable and peaceful environment for him to practice and continue to develop.

Chen Xin smiled nonchalantly and said, "If it was last year, it would still be in time for Ji State to know about this, but now... whether you report it or not, the result will be the same. So, if this information can help you get promoted in the officialdom of Ji State, then consider it as some insignificant help from me as your big brother."

Chen Ku seemed to be thinking about something and didn't ask any more questions. He seemed to have guessed something.

That night, the family had a not-so-rich reunion dinner on a day that was not a holiday. The next day, Chen Ku stood at the door and saw Chen Xin and his family off.

Finally, Chen Ku asked the same question from yesterday, saying:
"You said yesterday that it doesn't matter whether I report it or not. Is it because you have completed your mission and found the location of a certain spiritual vein when you came to Ji Kingdom this time? As long as you go back, Yuan Kingdom will directly invade?"

As Chen Xin said, his physique is extremely rare. After achieving great success, he will be an eleventh-level Qigong practitioner. He is a great treasure to any sect. Yet he was sent out as a spy. Obviously, it must be something only he can do, and he must take the risk.

The answer is... the primordial spirit.

He is born close to the natural aura and vitality. He can draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to assist himself, and his ability to sense spiritual veins is extremely powerful.

Chen Xin did not answer.

Silence is the answer.

Finally, he left only one sentence:

"Second brother, my family and I are waiting for you in Sanxing Cave. I am looking forward to your achievement of dominance. If you are the same as me, then we brothers will meet again in the future, and perhaps we will walk side by side on the road to immortality."

"See you on the road to immortality..."

Chen Ku stood at the door with his hands behind his back, muttering softly to himself.

Then, he watched as Chen Xin waved his hand and attracted a large group of spiritual energy, which enveloped him and his family and was put into his sleeves. He turned around and nodded to him, then disappeared at the door. (End of this chapter)
