Just when everyone was extremely happy, Ling Quan suddenly received a summons from Elder Wen Ping, and found that many people were approaching Lingquan Mountain from all directions.

Ling Quan snorted coldly, a chill in his eyes.

The pills that Xiao Zhan helped refine had already made the injuries of his and a group of elders so good that they were so good.

Moreover, the Great Array of Protectors has also been repaired by Xiao Zhan, and even its defensive power is far beyond before.

Therefore, when he learned that someone was attacking, instead of worrying at all, he planned to lead the entire Lingquan Mountain to fight a good battle with the invading enemy.

Xiao Zhan saw the battle intent on the faces of the group of elders around him, and slowly spoke:

"I wish you all a victorious start."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan turned around and flew in the direction of his residence.

Yang Qi was standing beside his master Pang Zhi at this time, clutching the magic weapon in his hand, his eyes full of fighting flames.

But Sect Master Ling Quan looked at him and said slowly:

"This time, we are sure to block the attack, and we may even make the people of the Hehuan Sect pay the price."

"Yang Qi, you go back to Elder Xiao and wait, make sure that no one takes advantage of the chaos to do anything to Elder Xiao."

Yang Qi nodded, then turned around and flew away.

Ling Quan looked at the group of elders around him.

He knew that the Hehuan Sect must have arranged other female cadres in his Lingquan Mountain.

It may even be among the elders on the scene.

He imagined that if he was a member of the Hehuan Sect, after learning that there was now a sixth-grade alchemist in Lingquan Mountain, he would definitely find a way to capture or even assassinate this alchemist.

Therefore, he was a little worried about Xiao Zhan's safety.

However, Xiao Zhan gave him a look when he left just now, which meant that he didn't have to worry about his safety.

Xiao Zhan returned to the courtyard and saw Yang Qi coming back, he didn't say anything, sat down cross-legged under the big tree, and then began to cultivate.

Yang Qi looked in the direction of the mountain gate with a worried face.

Xiao Zhan's eyebrows closed slightly, and he slowly spoke:

"Don't worry."

The four simple and faint words, but as if they had magical power, made Yang Qi's mood gradually calm down.

He looked at Xiao Zhan with admiration on his face, hugged his fists and said:

"Senior Brother Xiao, I really admire you."

"No wonder you are not only strong, but you also have such high attainments in the Dan Dao and the formation, your diligence in cultivation is really a model for my generation."

Xiao Zhan smiled faintly:

"That's because my life has been accompanied by endless battles."

"If I don't hurry up and get stronger, I could die at any time."

"So, the crisis is the best source of motivation."

Yang Qi nodded.

He knew that what Xiao Zhan said was right.

As a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, in fact, if he hadn't encountered someone from a hostile force, he would basically not be in much danger.

When others heard that he was a disciple of Lingquan Mountain, most of the time, they would treat him with courtesy.

This is not an isolated case.

There is a very interesting phenomenon, that is, these big forces select some extremely talented disciples to cultivate them with all their might.

Then these extremely talented disciples, in the praise and courtesy of the people in the rivers and lakes, have a high-minded mentality.

In fact, the strength they show is often daunting.

However, one day, when they meet a genius who has really come out of the fight and grinding, they will know how ridiculous they are.

is like Jia Yin and Jia Wang of the Jia family.

As the leaders of the younger generation of the Jia family, the two of them don't know how much stronger they are than the geniuses cultivated by the big forces such as Hehuan Sect and Lingquan Mountain.

But when the two met Xiao Zhan, one was killed, and the other was deeply shocked.

Jia family land.

Jia Yin sat cross-legged in a bamboo building and slowly opened his eyes.

He has been in retreat since he came back, but every time he retreats, he can't help it

appeared that Jia Wang couldn't even stop Xiao Zhan's move that day.

He suddenly felt that his cultivation seemed meaningless.

He had a strong sense of frustration in his heart, and it felt like no matter how he cultivated, he couldn't be Xiao Zhan's opponent in the end.

Jia Baoshan's voice came from the bamboo forest next to him:

"If you can't calm down, just drink two drinks with me."

Hearing this, Jia Yin came out of the bamboo building.

He came to the depths of the bamboo forest.

There is a stone table and two stone benches.

At this time, several jugs of wine were already on the table.

Jia Yin poured a glass of wine for his father Jia Baoshan, and he also poured a glass and drank it all.

"Since you came back, the state has not been right," Jia Baoshan picked up his wine glass and looked at Jia Yin with a calm face:

"Tell me about it."

Jia Yin sighed:

"Dad, I've always felt that my talent and strength are far superior to those of my generation."

"But now I suddenly realize that in the entire chaotic world, I may not be anything."

"Not to mention the ancestors of our Jia family, all the clan elders, there are still many hidden powers outside."

"You say, what am I cultivating for?"

Hearing this question, Jia Baoshan frowned.

He drank a glass of wine, then slowly put down the wine glass, looked at Jia Yin and said:

"Being able to ask that question means that you are growing."

"If a person, especially us cultivators, is not aware of the truth that there are people outside of people and that there are heavens outside of the world, then they are doomed to not live long."

After a pause, Jia Baoshan looked at Jia Yin and asked slowly:

"What do you think, what level do you put our Jia family ancestor outside?"

Jia Yin frowned:

"I'm afraid it's not worth mentioning in the face of those true powers."

Jia Baoshan nodded:

"But even so, the ancestor can bless our Jia family."

Seeing that Jia Yin was a little puzzled, Jia Baoshan said in a deep voice:

"We don't know how many enemies we will encounter in this life, and how many dangers we will encounter."

"But for every point of your strength, there will be one less enemy for you, and one less danger for your family, your family, and your friends."

"That's what cultivation is all about."

Jia Yin was stunned on the spot.

Jia Baoshan picked up his wine glass and said with a smile:

"Of course, it is precisely because there are too many truly strong and powerful people in front of us that the path of cultivation is destined to be extremely long and difficult to walk."

"But...... That's where cultivation comes in."

"Think about it, millions of years from now, tens of millions of years from now, if you can stand at the real pinnacle and look back on the experiences along the way, then you may have a better taste when you drink again."

Jia Yin exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his gloomy gaze gradually became clear:

"Thank you Father!"

"I know what to do."

Jia Baoshan nodded, changed the topic and asked:

"What do you think I should do with Jia Wang?"

Jia Yin frowned instantly, shook his head and said truthfully:

"I don't know."

"Personally, I don't think Jia Wang has much impact on the matter of you, father, Jia Youyi, and Jia Bing competing for the position of patriarch."

Jia Baoshan's hmm:

"You're right."

"What if it's okay?"

"In a few years, if you still want to choose a patriarch, he Jia Wang will be your rival."

"So, Jia Wang, I definitely can't let him live."

"In addition, ......" Jia Baoshan narrowed his eyes:

"Yin'er, with my understanding of the clan elders, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

"I didn't think I could be this patriarch in the first place, that's it, from

You can see the cold attitude of the clan elders."

"I don't think Jia Youyi and Jia Bing are better than me."

Jia Yin was stunned:

"Father, I don't understand."

Jia Baoshan frowned:

"There is one thing that is a secret in our Jia family."

"Many, many years ago, our Jia family had a peerless Tianjiao named Jia Xiaotian."

Jia Baoshan glanced at Jia Yin, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said:

"At your age, Jia Xiaotian already has a strength comparable to that of the clan elders."

"At that time, everyone was looking forward to waiting for Jia Xiaotian to fully grow up and take our Jia family to the sky."

"Everyone thinks that Jia Xiaotian will be the most powerful patriarch of our Jia family."

Hearing this, Jia Yin's face was full of shock.

At his age, can he be comparable to the clan elders?

What a terrifying talent and strength that is!

"But!" Jia Baoshan shook his head, picked up his wine glass and said:

"It's such a peerless genius, but when I went out to practice, I met a mortal woman."

"And Jia Xiaotian is also a person who is conceited to the bones."

"For more than ten years, he has not been heard from, and the clan elders have not been able to contact him."

"Later, I learned that in order to protect that mortal woman, he was killed by a mysterious powerhouse, leaving only one child."

Speaking of this, Jia Baoshan exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his eyes were shining:

"That's the point I'm going to make."

"This matter is originally top secret in our Jia family."

"In addition to the patriarch and the clan elders, as well as the ancestors, it is likely that I am the only one who knows."

"Even I'm not sure if Jia Xiaotian really left a child."

"If there is really a child left, I believe that the clan elders will definitely do their best to cultivate it."

Jia Yin's eyes suddenly lit up:

"So, father, what do you mean is that the clan let you, Jia Youyi and Jia Bing compete for the position of patriarch, just to hide people's eyes, in fact, it is likely that the child left by Jia Xiaotian has been secretly cultivated as the patriarch?"

Jia Baoshan drank all the wine in the cup, nodded and said:

"If that child really exists, then it's very likely!"

Jia Yin was silent for a while, and poured his father a glass of wine again:

"Father, get out of the competition."

Jia Baoshan shook his head:

"If this is true, then even if I want to quit, the clan elders will not agree."

"For example, Jia Bing, although he announced his withdrawal from the competition in front of the clan elders, in fact, who would believe it?"

"Whether I like it or not, this game has to be played!"

Speaking of this, Jia Baoshan narrowed his eyes:

"The Jia family seems to be stable now, but in fact, it has reached the cusp."

"According to the information I have received, other hermit families have been coveting our Jia family's marrow washing pool, and judging from some of the arrangements of the clan elders, I am afraid that our Jia family is about to face a huge impact."

Jia Baoshan exhaled a breath of turbidity:

"Yin'er, I've arranged a back path for you, but now is not the time to tell you."

"But there's one thing you must remember."

Jia Baoshan's tone became extremely serious:

"In addition to the Jia family, you must have your own hole cards."

"Not only your strength, but also your connections, the resources in your hands, including truly trustworthy partners and friends, these will help you survive crises in the future!"

"If you meet someone who is more talented and powerful than you, if the other person is worthy of your friendship, then you must be friendly."

"Even if the other person is always better than you, that's okay, because that means that you can solve it yourself

I can't get out of the crisis!"
