Chapter 7 Five-Colored Spirit Fruit, Xiao Family.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanbing's face also showed surprise.
It was obvious that Zhang Hongzhan had not yet shown him the contents of the letter.
Seeing their surprise, Zhang Hongzhan drank the spiritual tea on the white jade table in one gulp.
Youyou said, "Those old guys in the Su family aren't stupid. Now, the Su family patriarch only has twenty years left to live, and his time is coming to an end."
The Golden Core stage is now showing some promise, but the two Foundation Establishment peak cultivators in the Su family are both quite old and have three spiritual roots. Even with the help of the Golden Core stage, their chances of breaking through are less than 30%.
The chances are slim.
If Su Muyan's dual spiritual root talent hadn't been concealed, and the people of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect had assassinated her, would the Su family patriarch still have been able to seek revenge at Xuanling Mountain?
He's dead. The Su family doesn't even have twenty years left.
At this point, Zhang Hongzhan paused, looked at the three people who were deep in thought, and continued:
"The marriage between Su Muyan and Xuan Bing was proposed by the Su family patriarch, and it was their second-line preparation."
They were aware of Su Muyan's feelings for Xuan Bing, so they went along with it and married her to Xuan Bing. Their request was reasonable: if the Su family did not produce any Golden Core cultivators within twenty years, they would protect their descendants.
To preserve the bloodline of the Su family.
I originally wanted to talk to Xuanbing about this, but I didn't expect him to bring it up with me first.
I asked him which woman he had his eye on, but the guy said he'd listen to his younger brother.
I couldn't make up my mind either, which is why I called you over.
After listening to his father's words, Zhang Xuanchen nodded. The Su family was indeed at a critical juncture.
There is a lack of successors among the younger generation, and the only genius with dual spiritual roots is still too young, only twenty-two years old.
Breaking through to the Golden Core stage within twenty years is clearly impossible, since the Foundation Establishment stage is not as easy to break through as the Qi Refining stage.
"Since that's the case, then let's marry her. Although the Azure Sea Immortal Sect is powerful, with our ancestor and elder brother around, why should we avoid their sharp edge?"
Seeing how much his younger brother cared for him, Zhang Xuanbing was deeply moved.
The Zhang family has a promising future, and with the patriarch in his prime, he may very well achieve even greater success.
The younger generation has two geniuses with "dual spiritual roots," Zhang Xuanbing and Zhang Xuanchen, ensuring the continuation of this legacy.
Paying a price to let him marry Fairy Qin of the Xuandan Sect shouldn't be a big problem.
It should be noted that the Xuan Dan Sect is a renowned alchemy sect.
Furthermore, it boasts two alchemy masters capable of refining top-grade third-tier Golden Core pills.
Qin Chuxue, the Fairy Qin, is one of her disciples. If one marries her, the family's chances of obtaining a Golden Core cultivator will greatly increase.
But his father and younger brother, for their own sake, did not force him.
He immediately bowed to his father and Zhang Guangli.
"Xuanbing will certainly live up to the family's expectations, eliminate all enemies, and protect the Zhang family's peace!"
His voice was firm and resounding!
Zhang Hongzhan quickly stepped forward to help his eldest son up, saying, "Xuanbing, your father believes in you, and the Zhang clan also believes in you. Cultivate diligently, and tomorrow I will go to the Su family with several elders to finalize your marriage."
"Hopefully you'll give me a grandson or granddaughter soon, hahaha."
Zhang Guangli nodded and said, "That's only right! And Xiao Chen will be here soon too, after all, you were the one who proposed the birth control plan."
Zhang Xuanchen pointed to his own nose, looking completely bewildered.
"Me? I'm only fifteen, still young, I'm not considering that right now."
My family members don't understand; I'm already being pressured to get married at fifteen.
Is this the world of cultivation?
Zhang Xuanbing patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I've already paved the way for you. It's still early. It's not too late to get married when you're twenty."
"Marriage is a matter of fate; it cannot be forced."
After saying that, Zhang Xuanchen picked up the spiritual tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, immediately feeling refreshed.
He changed the subject, saying, "As expected of a second-grade low-level Concentration Spirit Tea, it's extraordinary. I feel it's incredibly strong now, like it's about to break through to the Great Perfection of Sword Qi Technique!"
I'm going first!
Before he finished speaking, he had already appeared outside the courtyard.
After resolving the Xiao family matter in three days, he will go to the top-grade first-level spiritual vein of Fire Maple Mountain to guard it for three years.
Every member of the Zhang family must go to the family's spiritual vein site to guard it for three years when they reach the age of eighteen or the late stage of Qi Refining.
No one can be treated specially.
Watching Zhang Xuanchen's departing figure, Zhang Hongzhan chuckled and cursed, "That brat, so clumsy."
Zhang Guangli said noncommittally:
"But this clumsy young man has brought about tremendous changes to the Zhang family over the years, hasn't he?"
Clan leader, you're so good at having children, why don't you have another one with Wanqing?
If another person were to have dual spiritual roots, or even a heavenly spiritual root, we'd be set for life!
Hearing this, Zhang Hongzhan was speechless: "Thirteenth Uncle, don't joke around, that's impossible."
"Why is it impossible? If we hadn't witnessed it with our own eyes, who would believe that you and Lin Wanqing could have given birth to two geniuses, Xuan Bing and Xuan Chen?"
Zhang Xuanbing also turned his gaze to his father.
Logically speaking, even if two cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots have offspring, they may not necessarily have spiritual roots.
It is truly astonishing that both parents possess three spiritual roots, yet they were able to produce a genius with a celestial spiritual root and a dual spiritual root.
Zhang Hongzhan thought for a moment, then activated the soundproofing array in the courtyard and said, "Actually, I was also very puzzled. After testing Xiaochen's spiritual root, I asked Wanqing..."
After hearing his description, Zhang Guangli and Zhang Xuanbing finally understood.
It turns out that Lin Wanqing's master was a rogue cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. After her master was murdered and his treasures stolen, she was hunted down by thieves.
While escaping into the Qingming Mountains, she fell into a lake below a cliff and was critically injured and on the verge of death when she saw an unknown spiritual fruit radiating multicolored light.
Without thinking, I swallowed it.
His injuries were fully healed in just a few days, and his cultivation speed also increased significantly.
After escaping the Qingming Mountains, they returned to the Penglai Islands.
Later, by chance, she developed feelings for Zhang Hongzhan, who was away on a training trip, and married him into the Zhang family.
"I also asked the ancestor, but the ancestor didn't know what fruit Wanqing ate, and then it was left unresolved. Anyway, it's a good thing."
Zhang Guangli nodded: "There are countless rare and precious materials in the cultivation world. It's normal not to recognize them. As long as it's a good thing for my Zhang family, that's fine."
Oh, right, I have some good news for you today. This egg was given to me by Xiao Chen.
Based on my observation and perception, the demon beast inside this egg has the potential to advance to the Golden Core stage!
I don't know where Xiao Chen got it from.
But I didn't ask; after all, everyone has their own secrets.
Zhang Guangli levitated the egg in the air and showed it to the two of them.
Since no one knows what the five-colored spiritual fruit is, there's no point in pursuing it further.
"What! It has the potential to advance to the Golden Core stage!"
Zhang Hongzhan looked at Zhang Xuanbing, his meaning clear: he wanted him to check if it was the egg that Zhang Xuanchen had brought back from Qingniu Town three days ago.
Although the changes were significant, Zhang Xuanbing recognized the egg as the original chicken egg at a glance!
He believed that his senses were infallible!
Zhang Xuanbing nodded.
Zhang Hongzhan: Hiss!
Zhang Guangli: ? ?
……
Three days later, at Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
Xuantian Villa.
"go!"
Zhang Xuanchen's eyes narrowed, and he swung the Qingfeng Sword, a top-grade first-tier magic weapon, towards the wooden figure in the garden.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Seven pale blue sword energies were instantly unleashed.
The wooden figure made of first-grade high-quality ironwood was instantly shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
"Sword Qi Technique Mastered!"
Its power is comparable to that of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but it's still a bit short of the tenth level. Not bad though.
"Now it's time to go to the Xiao family."
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuanchen sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuanbing, instructing him to follow secretly and to intervene if necessary.
Then he used his sword control technique to fly towards the Xiao family's direction.
The Xiao family is located at the southernmost part of the Zhang family's territory. Further south lies the endless sea, teeming with sea beasts.
An investigation revealed that the Xiao family was fairly loyal to the Zhang family.
They did not miss paying the annual protection fee of 800 low-grade spirit stones.
Those who came to the Xiao family to annul the engagement were merely a few disciples and stewards from the Golden Core Sect, which was within the acceptable range.
Both morally and logically, we should offer our assistance first.
……
Wutan Mountain!
The Xiao Family, a family specializing in alchemy!
The Xiao family has been established for less than a hundred years, and there are only about twenty Qi Refining cultivators in the family.
The one with the highest cultivation level is Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining and possesses formidable strength.
At this moment, in addition to the Xiao family's senior members, there were several strangers in the hall, all dressed in moon-white robes, exuding an air of nobility.
They were all extremely arrogant, and their eyes were full of contempt when they looked at the Xiao family.
He didn't take anyone seriously at all.
A young girl stood in the center of the hall.
The girl was in her early twenties, with a beautiful and delicate appearance, bright and clear eyes, and deep blue earrings. She wore a light purple fairy dress, which highlighted her delicate and precious nature.
