Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Xu Chen walked up to the old beggar with a full head of white hair and squatted down.

"Old lady, come with us. I'll find someone to take care of you from now on."

The white-haired old man looked up at him, his eyes vacant. Clearly, this once powerful man had suffered severe injuries and his soul was in trouble.

Xu Qingzhou said, "There's still some of the soul-nourishing liquid left from repairing your master's soul. When we get back to the Xu family, I'll feed him the rest and see how it goes."

Xu Chen, with a sincere smile on his still somewhat immature face, reached out his hand.

"Come on, old man, follow me."

The white-haired old man smiled foolishly, took his hand, and stood up.

The chosen one went out for a stroll, discovered the cave of a powerful figure, and took the powerful old man home—that makes perfect sense.

These were also their two biggest takeaways from the trip.

The two-and-a-half-year-long quest to find bargains across three major dynasties has now come to a successful conclusion.

The three of them left the city, boarded a flying boat, and sped back to Lingyue City.

In the past two and a half years, Xu Chen's cultivation has not lagged behind. Before setting off, he was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and now he is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. He can break through to the Profound Core Realm at any time.

There's also the steady and reliable Xu Chu, who has already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Currently, their cultivation levels are insufficient, and the system will not provide Xu Qingzhou with much cultivation feedback after his breakthrough.

Xu Muge and Xu Luo, who were far away in the Great Xia Dynasty, broke through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm one after the other.

Xu Qingzhou also broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

From being far inferior to his wife Su Xinyan to now surpassing her, Xu Qingzhou has made many sacrifices along the way.

If you ask what exactly he sacrificed, Xu Qingzhou himself doesn't know.

After returning to the Xu family.

Xu Qingzhou summoned the seven elders for a meeting.

"This trip with Xiao Chen was quite fruitful, the most important of which was obtaining a Beast Tamer's inheritance."

"The elders can select some members of the clan who have the talent to become beast tamers, or whose talent for cultivation is average, and let them try to become beast tamers."

The seven elders immediately showed joy.

The lineage of Beast Tamers is extremely rare. If the Xu family masters such a lineage, they can cultivate batches of Beast Tamers in just a few years.

At the same time, the Xu family can also rely on these beast tamers to further expand their business of raising spirit beasts.

Xu Qingzhou spoke again, saying, "The Azure Dragon Secret Realm is about to open. Let's take stock of the young people in our clan who are at the late stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm. We can go to the capital together and participate in the elimination tournament, which will be a good opportunity for them to gain experience."

The seven answered in unison.

"Yes, patriarch!"

During this trip, with the help of Xu Chen's Qi Observation Technique, the two of them found many treasures. Xu Qingzhou gave Xu Chen the ones that were useful, and kept some for themselves and gave some to their families.

After finishing all that, it was already dark, and Xu Qingzhou returned to her courtyard.

Su Xinyan, who was cultivating, realized that he had returned. She suddenly opened her eyes, walked out of the house, and flew towards Xu Qingzhou.

Su Xinyan threw herself into Xu Qingzhou's arms, wishing she could become one with him. This was the longest time they had been apart since they met.

"We agreed to go out for a walk, why have you been gone for so long?"

Xu Qingzhou gently hugged her. "We were originally planning to come back after taking a tour of the dynasty, but Xiao Chen was still a little reluctant to leave, so we went to the Black Feather Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty as well."

If Xu Chen heard this, he would definitely cry foul, saying that Xu Qingzhou had said that since they were already there, they should visit the two neighbors.

"Enough talk, elbow! Come inside!"

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Xu Qingzhou carried Su Xinyan into the house, and just as the battle was in full swing, Yu Shufei returned.

"Looks like I came back at the wrong time."

"No, you came back just in time."

.....

When Xu Chu decided to go to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, he began making preparations, which differed from those of the others.

The others are trying their best to improve their skills so that they can advance from the knockout stage and secure a spot.

Xu Chu bought a lot of things.

Because he planned to enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm this time and then come out ten years later when it reopens, he would stay inside for three hundred years.

Previously, Xu Qingzhou would give him a lot of cultivation resources every now and then, but his cultivation level was not high enough, so he could not use them.

Now he sold everything he could, exchanged it for spirit stones, and then went on a spending spree at the Wanbaoge.

Over the years, he has dabbled in alchemy, weaponry, array formations, and talismans, learning a little bit of each.

Even when the family was selecting beast tamers, he would join in the fun. Anyway, he had plenty of time, and studying these things could not only kill time but also increase his own trump cards, so why not?

Therefore, Xu Chu first bought a large amount of materials needed for alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, and talisman making.

After all, they're going to be inside for three hundred years, so they need to find something to do.

Then he bought a large number of spiritual herbs and plant seeds, which he could plant in the secret realm and harvest when he came out.

Finally, he also bought a large quantity of spirit wine, which he buried when entering the secret realm, and when he came out, it was a three-hundred-year-old vintage.

This aged wine is a great choice, whether you drink it yourself or sell it.

Fortunately, Xu Qingzhou had given him enough resources beforehand, otherwise it really wouldn't have been enough for him to buy so many things.

After all the preparations were complete, Xu Chu stayed with his parents, brothers, and sisters, after all, it had been ten years since they last met.

.....

During Xu Qingzhou's absence, Su Xinyan mostly focused on cultivation, while Yu Shufei would cultivate for a period of time before going to Wanbaoge to handle some affairs.

Now that Xu Qingzhou has returned, neither of them has cultivated anymore; instead, they've switched to cultivating Xu Qingzhou's style.

The repairs lasted for half a month, and none of the three of them left the house.

If it weren't for the imminent opening of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Xu Qingzhou would still have to continue leading the young people of his clan to the capital.

Even with his formidable strength, exceptional talent, and extraordinary abilities, Xu Qingzhou was finding it difficult to keep up.

Xu Qingzhou, supporting his back, arrived at the family council hall, where the eldest elder handed him the compiled list.

The statistics listed here are all young people in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm within the clan.

There are thirty-six people in total.

It should be noted that when the Azure Dragon Secret Realm opened ten years ago, the Xu family only had a few members at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. In fact, the Xu family at that time had no more than thirty-six members at the Nascent Soul Realm in total.

In the end, only Xu Muge and Xu Luo entered the secret realm.

This time, there might be more members of the Xu family who can enter the secret realm. In any case, there are at least two: Xu Chu and Xu Chen.

"The Azure Dragon Secret Realm elimination tournament starts tomorrow. Gather them here, and we'll set off immediately," Xu Qingzhou said.

The Grand Elder nodded, and soon summoned all thirty-six young clansmen in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Xu Chen and Xu Chu were naturally among them.
