Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 84 The Sun Family of Qi Refining, Qingyan Gathering

In the afternoon, Chen Hongyuan led Chen Qian out of the city gate of Fenglin City and headed north.

Chen Hongyuan's mount and battle pet is a Wind Chaser, a relatively common tiger-type monster, but with considerable combat power. Its current grade is Tier 1, High Grade.

Six months ago, when Chen Qian last accompanied the convoy to transport supplies, the spirit beast was in the process of advancing, so it hadn't appeared for several months.

If Chen Hongyuan had sent him into battle then, the battle would have ended much faster, and perhaps Chen Qian would not have had the chance to be struck by that heavenly lightning.

Then his life trajectory will continue as before.

Every sip and every bite is mysterious and unpredictable.

As long as the Little Gray Bead exists, Chen Qian of Blue Star will one day be revived, but it is unknown how many years from now.

Thinking of this relationship, Chen Qian cast a grateful glance at the Wind Chaser.

That gaze made the tiger feel a little uneasy.

It naturally recognized Chen Qian, but for some reason, it felt very dangerous about this two-legged beast after only a few months of absence.

He lowered his head, let out a soft howl, and slightly increased his speed, not daring to look at Chen Qian again.

Chen Hongyuan was connected to his own spirit beast and naturally noticed its abnormality.

He quickly stroked the fur on the tiger's neck to soothe it.

He then smiled and transmitted his voice to Chen Qian, saying, "Little Qian, your strength has increased too quickly, making Xiao Feng a little uncomfortable."

Chen Qian smiled helplessly at his seventh uncle, then shook his head and remained silent.

That's what I said.

There's nothing wrong with what he said, but putting Xiao Qian and Xiao Feng together just sounds so awkward.

I feel like I've become like that tiger.

Qingyan Mountain is located three or four hundred miles north of Fenglin City. This section of the road is mostly on plains, and the road is relatively flat, allowing the horse and tiger to travel at a great speed.

However, when walking on the ground, it's impossible to always walk in a straight line; in many places, you need to take detours, so it takes four or five hundred miles to reach your destination.

The two set off in the afternoon and arrived at Qingyan Mountain as night fell.

The mountain roads were winding, but for the Wind Chaser Beast, they were like walking on flat ground.

However, for the Green-scaled Horse, walking on mountain paths at night is quite strenuous.

The moonlight, blurred by the mountain mist into a pale veil, cast a ghostly glow on the blue-scaled horseshoe iron.

Seeing this, Chen Qian simply put the horse into the spirit beast bag and leisurely followed Chen Hongyuan and his beast on foot.

Chen Hongyuan could not hear the sound of hooves. He turned his head and saw that Chen Qian had put away his horse, so he simply put away his Wind Chaser Beast as well.

They weren't far away, and since their cultivation levels were not low, they didn't walk very slowly.

Chen Hongyuan had obviously been here many times. Although the light was dim in the mountains, he knew the way well and was not in a hurry.

Along the way, we saw a few scattered people hurrying along, who were probably other families or independent practitioners who came to participate in the gathering.

However, in the mountain night, it was difficult to identify each other from a distance, so everyone consciously kept a certain distance and did not get too close.

To avoid any misunderstandings.

As Chen Qian walked, he observed his surroundings with great interest, and then transmitted his voice to Chen Hongyuan: "Seventh Uncle, you don't need to introduce me to others later."

"If anyone asks about my identity, just say that I am a member of a collateral branch of the family."

He had already activated the Harmony with Light and Dust Technique, displaying his cultivation level as the second level of Qi Refining.

Not long after returning from Bijia Mountain, his father-in-law specifically instructed him that after this battle, the other three rival families would definitely investigate his information.

If you need to go out, you should keep a low profile and try to conceal your identity.

Therefore, from the moment he left the valley, he used the Harmony with the World Technique to its fullest extent before going out for training.

Those below the Foundation Establishment stage, lacking special spiritual senses, would generally subconsciously ignore him. Chen Hongyuan was largely unaffected because Chen Qian actively engaged with him throughout the journey.

If Chen Qian leaves for a while under some pretext and then comes back without taking the initiative to communicate with him, he might not even realize that Chen Qian has returned.

Qingyan Mountain covers a vast area, and the Sun family, a small Qi Refining family, could not possibly occupy a large territory.

On the southern side of the mountain, halfway up the mountain, there is a narrow passage between two peaks, leading into a rather spacious and flat area.

The first-grade mid-level spiritual vein of the Great Northern Mountain is located here, so the Sun family's ancestral home was naturally built here as well.

This place wasn't originally this flat; it was gradually cleared out by generations of the Sun family.

The rest of the land, though vast, is of little value to cultivators.

The rally is expected to last at least two weeks, but it has only been a few days since it started, and many people who want to participate have not yet arrived.

There were naturally people waiting to greet the guests at the narrow passageway in front of the Sun family's residence.

At the entrance, there are two rows of bronze lamps on the left and right, each topped with a piece of fluorite that emits a soft white light, illuminating the entrance as bright as day.

Looking from the entrance, the passageway was shrouded in a layer of white mist, making it difficult to see clearly inside.

Chen Qian gently sprinkled his divine sense into his eyes, and the white mist in the passage slowly dissipated, revealing everything inside clearly.

Although you can only see what's happening within the passageway, you can still see quite a few figures moving around.

The daily routine of cultivators is completely different from that of mortals. Every day, there are twelve two-hour periods, and at any time, there are people who are either cultivating, visiting friends, trading, or gathering.

Therefore, people are active at any time of day during the rally.

According to the Sun family's rules, the array at the residence is only activated and the group is allowed to enter when there are about ten guests.

When Chen Qian and his companion arrived, there were only three people waiting at the entrance, which was clearly not enough.

As a member of the Chen family, the absolute dominant family in this area, Chen Hongyuan certainly couldn't just stand there and wait foolishly.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and exchanged a few words with the Sun family members, who quickly bowed respectfully.

One person took out a communication talisman, cast a spell to release it, and notified the family elders;

One person took out a token, cast a spell, and opened the entrance passage.

The three people waiting on the side were an elderly person and two children.

The old man was in his sixties or seventies, with a weathered face and a low level of cultivation, having just reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The two children, a boy and a girl, were about eleven or twelve years old and about ten years old, respectively. They were both in the stage of beginning to draw qi into their bodies and starting their spiritual practice.

Normally, a highly skilled cultivator would need to carefully observe and sense the level of a cultivator with a lower cultivation level.

However, after Chen Qian advanced the Spiritual Eye Technique into his own unique Divine Eye Technique, he could see through the cultivation level of the opposing cultivator with just one glance, as long as their cultivation level was not much higher than his.

Judging from their curious expressions and their eyes darting around, you could tell that these two little ones were going out with their elders for the first time, just to broaden their horizons.

The boy was chubby-faced with two unruly tufts of yellow hair sticking up on his forehead, and he was staring wide-eyed at Chen Qian and his companion.

The girl had her hair tied in crooked pigtails, and her cheeks were still marked with traces of grass and trees from the mountains. She was tightly clutching a tattered cloth bag in her arms, which looked bulging and seemed to contain a lot of things.

"Grandpa, who are they? Why aren't they using..."

The boy had barely opened his mouth when the old man covered his mouth.

The old man's large, calloused hands were covered in burn marks. He said in a low voice, "Keep quiet! That is a senior with profound cultivation. Naturally, he does not need to wait like we do."

Chen Qian's ears twitched slightly, and a hint of amusement flickered across his lips.

His own "Harmony with the World" technique was indeed extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, when he stood with Chen Hongyuan, people around him would inevitably look at him more.

But now, he is being ignored, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, this effect will be more pronounced for those whose cultivation level is significantly lower than his.
