Chapter 1 Family Planning
West Liangzhou, Lotus Mountains.
Xiliangzhou is one of the three major states in the northwest of the mainland, and the Lotus Mountains are in Xiliangzhou.
This mountain range stretches for 100,000 miles, towering ancient trees rise from the ground, birds and beasts sing endlessly, and the aura in the mountain is quite strong, so most of the Xiuzhen families in Xiliang Prefecture rely on this mountain range to thrive.
Among them, there is a family surnamed Chen, who lives in Zhaobi Mountain in the middle of the Lotus Mountains.
Zhaobi Mountain is quite barren, there are not many green plants and grass, there are four acres of barren spiritual fields and a village at the bottom of the mountain, and there are some wooden attics and cultivation caves on the mountain.
A young man stood on the ridge of the field, with golden wheat straw in his mouth, an ancient book in his hand, clear and confused eyes looking at the clouds in the sky, muttering ...... in his mouth.
"Dignified Heavenly Spirit Root qualifications, but I can't cultivate because I don't have ice attribute exercises, and I'm the only one in the world, Chen Chuan, right?"
Suddenly, a white light appeared on Zhaobi Mountain, and I saw a young man flying towards Lingtian with a flying sword.
Chen Chuan threw away his thoughts, squinted at the person who flew in, and when he saw it clearly, he shouted at the wooden house next to Lingtian: "Fourth uncle, the ninth brother is here." ”
A middle-aged man with a long face walked out of the wooden house, nodded at Chen Chuan, and the two looked at the young man who was about to land together.
The young man of the sword, named Chen Yan, is the son of Chen Chuan's seventh uncle, a genius in the clan with the qualification of a double spirit root, and now the thirty-six-year-old Chen Yan is already at the ninth level of qi refining.
"Brother Jiu, why are you here?" Chen Chuan asked for the first time.
"Second Uncle asked me to take you up the mountain. Chen Yan jumped off the flying sword and greeted the fourth uncle while answering Chen Chuan's question.
"Really, could it be that my exercises have fallen?" Chen Chuan's eyes widened, and he hugged Chen Yan's arm a little excitedly.
"I don't know, but I'll know when I go. Chen Yan said.
The fourth uncle on the side smiled, patted Chen Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, follow me to plant Lingmai for ten years, and it's time to change the environment." ”
"Let's go. Chen Yan hung the Xuantie Flying Sword in his hand on his knees and motioned for Chen Chuan to jump on the Iron Sword.
Chen Chuan looked at the suspended iron sword, and said with a little hesitation: "Forget it, the last time you took me to fly with the flying sword, I lay in bed for two months before recovering." ”
"Rest assured, there will be no problem this time. Chen Yan pulled Chen Chuan and stepped on the two-inch-wide flying sword.
The long-faced fourth uncle looked at the two nephews who flew into the air, his eyes showed a strong look of expectation, there are more than 400 clansmen in the entire Chen family, and there are less than 100 people who can cultivate aura, and there are only two people who have the opportunity to cultivate to the Jindan stage above the double spirit root, Chen Yan and Chen Chuan are the future of the family, how can he not look forward to it.
Chen Chuan on the flying sword hugged Chen Yanhu's waist tightly, and the two flew towards Zhaobi Mountain.
At a position three hundred zhang away from the top of the mountain, Chen Yan stopped, there were three cultivation caves here.
One of them is Chen Yan's cave mansion, and the other two are Chen Chuan's second uncle Chen Qingze and fourteenth uncle Chen Jinze.
His second uncle, Chen Qingze, was in charge of the Chen family's affairs at the beginning of the foundation building period.
Chen Jinze's cultivation is on par with Chen Yan, and he has been at the peak of the Qi refining period for more than twenty years, but because he does not have enough spirit stones to support him, he has never dared to break through.
"Second uncle, Chen Chuan is here. The two brothers landed at the door of the cave mansion, and Chen Yan said respectfully.
"Come in. The second uncle's voice came from the middle cave.
Chen Yan lifted the bamboo curtain hanging on the door of the cave mansion and walked into the cave mansion with Chen Chuan one after the other.
The cave is not very big, two zhang high and low, four or five zhang from the left and right, and at this time, there are two middle-aged men in white Taoist robes sitting on the futon.
One of them is not tall and slightly obese, it is the second uncle of Chen Chuan, and the other is his fourteenth uncle who is slightly thinner.
"I've seen the second uncle, the fourteenth uncle. Chen Chuan bent down and clenched his fists.
"Sit down, the second uncle will discuss something with you. Chen Qingze pointed to the bamboo chair on the side.
After Chen Chuan sat down, Chen Qingze stood up.
His figure is slightly fat, his height is much shorter than Chen Chuan, and the whole person looks very round.
"Second uncle, should I avoid it?" The person who asked was Chen Yan.
Although Chen Yan has a long tiger's back and bear's waist, his mind is quite delicate and he knows when to do something.
"Don't shy away from it, you should know something. Chen Qingze patted Chen Yan's arm.
As a clansman whose talent is second only to Chen Chuan, Chen Yan has spared no effort in cultivating him over the years.
The Xuantie Flying Sword in his hand was the only second-grade spiritual weapon in the Chen family.
Spiritual weapons are divided into one to nine grades, and high-grade spiritual weapons can increase the combat effectiveness of monks a lot, but the price of spiritual weapons is also very expensive, and the price of spiritual weapons of the same grade is also very different because of different functional attributes.
Chen Qingze put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth a few steps, and said to Chen Chuan: "Chen Chuan, we plan to marry you with a daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
"What?" Chen Chuan stood up suddenly, obviously startled by the second uncle's words.
"You are an ice attribute heavenly spirit root, as long as you find a woman with three spirit roots to marry, the chance of giving birth to a child with two spirit roots and three spirit roots is very high, and besides, you are also sixteen years old, and you have reached the age of marriage. Chen Qingze explained.
Spiritual roots are generally inherited from parents, just like Chen Chuan's mother is a four-spirit root, which has water attributes, and his father is a three-spirit root, which has wood attributes.
They gave birth to Chen Chuan, the heavenly spirit root that was combined with water and wood to form ice, but Chen Chuan's single attribute spirit root also rarely appeared, perhaps it was the heavens that favored the Chen family, so that the Chen family had a rare heavenly spirit root in a hundred years.
Chen Qingze's meaning is very clear, the Chen family needs more clansmen with good cultivation talents, and Chen Chuan has a son is the best choice.
Chen Chuan's deep eyes moved a few times, as if he was thinking.
After a long time, he said: "Chen Chuan obeys the arrangement of the second uncle. ”
"Okay, the prosperity of the family depends on you. Chen Qingze clapped his hands happily.
The fourteenth uncle sitting on the futon on the side was also smiling, and they, the elders, seemed to be easily satisfied.
"Second uncle, if you marry a woman with me, it is best to have water and wood attributes in the spiritual root. Chen Chuan added.
In the more than ten years that he has been unable to cultivate, he has studied all kinds of cultivation books, and has also studied the genetic spiritual root of male and female marriage quite deeply, as long as the ice attribute encounters the water and wood attribute, the ice attribute will inevitably appear.
Chen Qingze nodded, indicating that he understood what Chen Chuan meant, and he still trusted Chen Chuan's cultivation knowledge very much.
"The second thing is even more important, the family has decided to let your fourteenth uncle break through the Qi Refining Period, he has been at the peak of the Qi Refining Period for more than twenty years, if you don't make a breakthrough, I'm afraid there will be no chance. Chen Qingze looked at Chen Jinze sitting on the futon.
"But we don't have Tsukidan, and the probability of a successful breakthrough is too low. Chen Yan said with a worried face.
"It's okay, I'll give it a try even if I fail. Fourteenth Uncle Chen Jinze stood up, his eyes were resolute and resolute.
Chen Chuan didn't speak, touching his chin with his right hand, thinking about the breakthrough of the fourteenth uncle.
The probability of breaking through to the foundation building period during the Qi refining period is very low, and without the assistance of the foundation building pill, the probability of success is less than forty percent.
"Why don't you buy Tsukidan for Uncle Fourteen?" Chen Chuan asked.
"Zhuji Dan is too expensive, one requires thousands of spirit stones. Second Uncle Chen Qingze shook his head helplessly.
Thousands of spirit stones are almost all the accumulation of the Chen family in the past ten years, and these accumulated spirit stones are not used to buy Zhuji Dan, but to buy exercises for Chen Chuan.
"Second uncle, I can wait another ten years. Chen Chuan said.
