Family Cultivation: Randomly refreshes information about a cultivation opportunity.

Chapter 42 The Grand Elder's Admonition! The Earth Core Fire Crystal—the group was shocked!

Tianya Restaurant.

Inside the spiritually inspired guest room.

The four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhang family who came this time, as well as the fifth brother Zhang Xuanming, are all sitting here.

Zhang Xuanming possesses the three spiritual roots of fire, wood, and earth, indicating considerable talent. Now just eighteen years old, his cultivation has already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, making him a definite seed for Foundation Establishment.

Zhang Zujun looked at Zhang Xuanchen, whose expression was solemn, and said in a low voice:

"Xiao Chen, the soundproof array, the defensive array, and the concealment array have been activated. What could possibly be so important that it concerns all of our lives?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned their gaze to Zhang Xuanchen.

To be honest, they had all just arrived in Forget-Worry City, and their understanding of the secret realm was certainly no match for Zhang Xuanchen's.

Zhang Xuanchen took a deep breath and delivered his prepared speech:

"Elder, the casualties among all major forces during this expedition to the secret realm are likely to have exceeded 80%!"

"What! How is this possible! The most dangerous secret realm I know of only had a casualty rate of 60%!"

"Eighty percent complete! This isn't a secret realm, it's a hellish place where lives are taken!"

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Zhang Hongqing exclaimed in horror, "I have been away on training for two and a half years, and I have never heard of such a dangerous secret realm."

Zhang Xuanbing's expression remained unchanged; he had absolute trust in his younger brother.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zujun spoke up, "Xiao Chen, is the information accurate?"

"Elder, this was told to me by Master Yan of Tianya Restaurant. Given her status, she would never lie to the Zhang family; it would do her no good in the slightest."

She also told me that if I really wanted to enter the secret realm, I shouldn't go to the central dragon cave.

You must head east, or stay in the peripheral areas to look for opportunities. You must never go to the central region; only in this way will you have a chance of survival.

Yan Louzhu only told me this news because of our years of cooperation, and asked me not to tell anyone else.

Therefore, after informing the clansmen of this matter, the Grand Elder must remind them, otherwise, if we offend the Tianya Restaurant, our Zhang family will be in danger.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, the Grand Elder stood up, his gaze sharp as he looked at the others in the room.

He said in a deep voice, "You all heard what Xiao Chen said, so you know what to do next, right?"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately realized what was happening.

He immediately swore a blood oath that he would not divulge what he had heard that day.

Zhang Xuanchen spoke up, "Elder, there's really no need for that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Zujun raised his hand to interrupt him, "Xiao Chen, I know you trust us, but this is the only way to be on the safe side."

Even if someone's soul is searched, the enemy will not be able to obtain any information.

Moreover, this matter concerns Tianya Restaurant, so we cannot be careless.

After I inform the other members of my clan about this matter and ensure that nothing goes wrong, I will also swear a blood oath!

Xiao Chen, remember this: you can have family ties! But you must never be soft-hearted because of it!

Otherwise, not only will they fail to lead the family to prosperity, but they may also bring about its annihilation!

As long as you are doing it for the sake of the family, the family members will understand you and support you.

"Did you...remember?"

He knew very well that Zhang Xuanchen was the most suitable person among the younger generation to be the clan leader, without exception.

The other party's excellence was evident to all the clansmen.

He values ​​family ties very much, which is a strength, but also his biggest weakness!

This must be corrected!

Zhang Zujun's words struck Zhang Xuanchen like a heavy hammer, jolting him awake.

After a moment of stunned silence, he stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhang Zujun.

"Grandpa's teachings today will be etched in my heart!"

Seeing this, a relieved smile appeared on Zhang Zujun's wrinkled face.

He is now 210 years old and has dedicated his life to his family; his family is everything to him.

Now that the family has a successor, how could I not be happy?

"Haha, Xiao Chen, there's no need for that. Most of the people here today are your elders, so it's not appropriate for you to speak up."

So I'll leave this matter to you."

At this point, he looked emotional, "If I don't get a Core Formation item from this trip to the secret realm, then I really won't have another chance, and I'll just have to lie in my little courtyard and enjoy my old age."

Zhang Xuanchen looked at the old man in front of him, and although there was some reluctance in his eyes, he still wanted to speak up in advance to give him a heads-up.

"Grandpa, actually... this secret realm is a legacy realm, and you most likely... won't be able to enter."

After speaking, she looked at Zhang Zujun cautiously, afraid that he might not be able to accept it and might do something rash.

The others also looked at the old man with worried expressions.

The so-called secret realm of inheritance is naturally for selecting young elites; how could the old and frail possibly enter?

As expected, Zhang Zujun looked dejected after hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words.

"Alas, has even the last hope been shattered? Oh well."

This unrealistic dream of achieving an elixir of immortality must eventually come to an end.

"No, why should I wake up? Great-grandfather, you are the only second-tier top-grade alchemist in the family, and you have dedicated your life to the family."

Currently, you are the only one in the family at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Once the Golden Core is obtained, you will definitely be given priority to consume it.

At that time, after swallowing a golden elixir, my fate will be in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!

Zhang Xuanchen encouraged Zhang Zujun.

The First Elder is the pillar of the family. If he breaks through to the Golden Core stage, it means he can become a third-level alchemist!

Although there is only a small difference in realm between a third-tier low-grade alchemist and a second-tier top-grade alchemist, they are worlds apart and cannot be compared.

"Haha, what do you mean by swallowing a golden pill and having my fate in my own hands? I don't know who you learned that from."

He's spouting nonsense.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued:

"I failed my family's hopes forty years ago and wasted a Golden Core. What face do I have to ask my family for a Golden Core again?"

Even if the family manages to acquire a Golden Core within ten years, it will definitely be given to your mother.

The second member of the family will soon reach Core Formation!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

"My mother has broken through to the peak of Foundation Establishment?"

"That's right, your mother gave birth to two great prodigies for my Zhang family, you and Xuanbing. This Golden Core should rightfully belong to her."

Zhang Xuanchen was very happy to receive Zhang Zujun's affirmation.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Then I'll buy two!"

Seeing Zhang Xuanchen speak so boldly, Zhang Hongqing teased, "You really dare to say that. Right now, all of my Zhang family's businesses are in their initial stages."

The operation of each spiritual vein requires a lot of spirit stones, so where would we get the money to buy a second one?

Are you going to pay for it? Haha.

Hearing Zhang Hongqing's teasing, Zhang Xuanchen said noncommittally, "Hehe, Uncle Qing, Aunt Hongxi, Brother, Fifth Brother, I'll have to trouble you to swear a blood oath again."

"What do you mean?"

However, Zhang Xuanchen remained silent, only continuing to take things out.

The next moment, a three-cubic-meter-sized, third-grade top-quality earth core blood crystal slammed onto the ground with a bang.

If it weren't for the array blocking it, it would definitely have smashed through the floor.

Of course, Zhang Xuanchen wouldn't have been so foolish as to take it out if the formation hadn't been activated.

Upon seeing the treasure before them, everyone in the room gasped, their faces flashing with fierce determination.

Zhang Hongqing's eyes widened, he pointed at the Earth Core Fire Crystal, and stammered:

"This...this...it is..."
