The King of Yan left Chen Jiuyang with some confusing words before returning to the northern border of Long Country by helicopter with Yan Hongming.
A galaxy of stars, the dignitaries of Feng Province came to congratulate!
However, Chen Jiuyang was not very concerned about this matter. His mind was almost entirely occupied with breaking through to the True King Heavenly Realm.
After returning to Qingzhu Village, the胀痛 (distending pain) in his body felt slightly better.
Although he didn't want to deal with these Feng Province dignitaries, they had come to pay their respects, so it wouldn't be good to completely alienate them.
Chen Jiuyang spent money to host a three-day banquet outside Qingzhu Village.
During these days, he did not appear, but instead stayed at home contemplating how to break through to the True King Heavenly Realm.
The matters outside were handled by Yao Qianhe, Chen Biandao, Elder Han, Lin Xianxing, Lin Yuexian, Yao Zixuan, Ji Lengyue, Qiu Yihan, and others.
Chen Jiuyang was thus afforded leisure.
After the three-day banquet, the Feng Province dignitaries departed, and Lin Xianxing returned to Longjing to continue his official duties. The residence of the King of Qian also returned to its former tranquility.
Inside the residence of the King of Qian.
Yao Zixuan was three months pregnant, her belly already slightly protruding. She spent her days recuperating at home, entrusting the company's financial matters to Yao Qianhe.
For the Yao family, the most important matter at present was Yao Zixuan's child. Moreover, Yao Zixuan's company, operating under the banner of King Qian Chen Jiuyang, had already found its footing. With no one to cause trouble, there was little to worry about.
Lin Yuexian, blessed by her father and Chen Jiuyang, had caught the eye of the Jixia Academy, a sacred ground in the Forbidden City. In a while, she would be leaving Chen Jiuyang's side to work at the Jixia Academy.
Lin Yuexian came from a scholarly family, and the pinnacle of a scholarly family was to enter the Jixia Academy.
Ji Lengyue was already the personal disciple of the Emei Mountain Sect Leader. With the guidance of Chen Biandao and others, and lacking no resources, her cultivation progressed extremely rapidly. She was now in the late stage of the Yellow Realm, and with one more step, she could enter the Profound Realm.
As for Qiu Yihan, her cultivation had stabilized at the sixth level of the Earth Realm.
Yao Zixuan, with her pure Yin body, would not be slower than Chen Jiuyang in practicing martial arts after giving birth.
Wealth, companions, dharma, and place – the residence of the King of Qian lacked none.
Chen Jiuyang also taught his parents and sister a cultivation technique for prolonging life and nourishing health. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiuzhen, Chen Jianmin, and Chen Yating had poor root bones and lacked talent for martial arts.
With Chen Jiuyang's victory on the martial arts ranking, he fed back the national destiny of Long Country, greatly increasing the strength of the Qingzhu Spirit Immortal. The entire Qingzhu Town was within her surveillance range.
Chen Jiuyang was almost certain that beneath the earth vein where the Qingzhu Spirit Immortal was born, there was a spirit vein spring.
This spirit vein spring had not been formed for long, so no one had yet set their sights on this place. Chen Jiuyang did not act rashly but carefully concealed this matter.
In the context of immortal reincarnations returning to the mortal world, if the existence of a spirit vein spring here were exposed, it would inevitably lead to trouble.
After the competition in Asia, Chen Jiuyang expected the old monster from the Lotus Sect to attack him, but the old monster never appeared. Chen Jiuyang returned to Long Country safely.
In early March.
Chen Yating returned to school.
Wan Xiu, the Sword Bearer of Qingzhu Town, arrived with his sword to find Chen Jiuyang: "King Qian, in Ziyang County, five children who claim to be reincarnated immortals have been born. They are vigorously collecting spiritual materials and medicines, and have formed a considerable force."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes sharpened: "Five reincarnated immortals in a small Ziyang County?"
"How do you wish to handle this?"
Wan Xiu said: "Let us go together and give them a warning. Previously, you were not in Ziyang County and did not manage them, but now that your momentum has calmed down, these people are becoming more arrogant. We cannot stand idly by."
Chen Jiuyang frowned and said: "Alright, it's a good time for me to figure out their purpose as well."
...
Ziyang County.
The mountain villa complex where the Zhu family previously resided was no longer in decline but had become even more prominent.
It was filled with all sorts of people, inside and out.
Inside the main villa hall.
Five toddlers, seemingly only three to five years old, sat in the main seats. Each exuded an extraordinary aura, and spiritual energy occasionally flowed around their bodies.
Below them, dozens of middle-aged men sat with their heads bowed, not daring to look directly at these five toddlers.
Previously, these five toddlers were ordinary children. However, after several spiritual rains, the bodies of these newborns grew rapidly. On the day of their birth, they could open their eyes and speak. Within a month, their physical forms had grown to the appearance of three to five-year-olds.
The five toddlers were each dressed in ancient ceremonial robes.
The leading toddler spoke: "What is the progress on excavating spiritual herbs?" His tone was indifferent, carrying the authority of someone in command.
"Reporting to Immortal Tang Ming, we are working overtime to send people to search for various spiritual herbs in the deep mountains and old forests of Ziyang County."
Tang Ming nodded slowly: "The five of us immortals have descended and reincarnated in Ziyang County because the spiritual energy here is the most abundant. The spiritual rains before were also the most frequent in Ziyang County, allowing various heavenly spiritual herbs and treasures to be generated in a short period."
"As long as you work for us diligently, when we return to the immortal realm, we will surely not treat you unfairly."
"Yes, Immortal Tang Ming! We will absolutely not fail the immortals' expectations!"
The martial artists and ordinary people below nodded repeatedly and then withdrew.
At this moment, another toddler immortal spoke: "Tang Ming, the spiritual energy in Ziyang County is so rich. We have truly come to a good place. If we can recover our cultivation soon, we will be able to hold great power within the 'Immortal Alliance'."
"Yang Xing, you are right. The missions issued by the Immortal Alliance are important, but our own cultivation is the most important. However, what puzzles me is that Ziyang County has never been outstanding from ancient times to the present. Even with the appearance of a Human King who seized the destiny of other countries and brought down multiple spiritual rains, the spiritual energy here should not be so abundant."
"We initially only found thirty people to excavate spiritual herbs for us, but now eight hundred people are exploring and excavating spiritual herbs, with substantial daily gains. It is somewhat peculiar."
"Hongda, what do you mean?"
Hongda said: "I suspect there is a spirit vein spring in Ziyang County."
"A spirit vein spring!!!"
The remaining four toddler immortals' eyes lit up, revealing greed: "If there is a spirit vein spring here, it should be an unclaimed spirit vein spring that has not yet been discovered."
Just as the five were conversing, a beautiful woman in a qipao walked in and said respectfully: "Reporting to the five immortals, the King of Qian of Ziyang County is here to visit and requests to see the five immortals!"
"King Qian? Is that the mortal Human King?"
"This mortal Human King has not yet stepped into the Heavenly Realm, and his strength is like an ant. Meeting him is a waste of our time..."
"However, considering that he has brought so much spiritual rain to Ziyang County, let us meet him once and see what he needs."
"Indeed, we immortals are not such heartless beings. Those who have merit will be rewarded, and it will also let this mortal Human King know how magnanimous our Immortal Alliance is."
