Chapter 4 Xiao Yan? Remnant Soul of a Nascent Soul?

Zhang Xuanchen walked for more than ten miles before encountering only two members of his clan.

Because Xuanxiao Mountain was too large, while the Zhang clan only had a little over three hundred members.

Moreover, half of them were sent out to guard and develop the rest of the family's spiritual veins.

There are also some demon-hunting teams responsible for clearing out the demons and monsters between the various spiritual veins.

And to venture into mountains and oceans in search of medicinal herbs and resources.

The demon-hunting team is a long-standing family tradition. Before Zhang Xuanchen was born, the Zhang family relied almost entirely on this to earn resources.

[Immortal Fate Information (Part A): Three days later, at Chen Shi (7-9 AM), Xiao Yan, the young master of the Xiao family, an affiliated Qi-refining family, will be humiliated by Liu Ruyan, the daughter of the Liu family patriarch, who has just been promoted to Foundation Establishment.]

Note: There is a remnant soul of a Nascent Soul Realm expert in Xiao Yan's middle finger soul ring. It has recognized Xiao Yan as its master. Assisting it will grant Xiao Yan the favor of a Nascent Soul Realm expert and the owner of the Flame Spirit Body (unawakened).

In addition, the recipe for the first-tier supreme spiritual liquid, Crimson Core Spiritual Liquid.

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Xuanchen suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression one of disbelief.

Oh my god!

A powerful being who has reached the Divine Transformation stage!

I've actually come into contact with the legendary Nascent Soul stage powerhouse so quickly?

They're so powerful they're forcing us to do it!

As far as he knew, no Nascent Soul cultivator had ever appeared in the entire South China Sea Immortal Continent. The strongest cultivators at present were the Supreme Elder of the Flying Feather Immortal Sect and the Supreme Elder of the Purple Cloud Sword Sect. Both of them were in the late Nascent Soul stage, and their strength was unfathomable.

And now, there is actually a remnant soul of a Nascent Soul expert within his Zhang family territory!

Thinking of the classic scenario of annulment in a marriage, Zhang Xuanchen was startled.

"Holy crap! Is this guy some kind of chosen one?"

Well, since we've run into each other, let's make this a good connection.

The information from the Immortal Realm states that gaining the favor of those two indicates they are not ungrateful people.

As for attempting to seize the Soul Ring, Zhang Xuanchen considered it, but quickly dismissed the idea.

That soul ring has already recognized its owner, and that is the remnant soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Could a small Golden Core clan handle that?

If a deadly feud is formed and there's no way to eliminate the threat completely, the consequences could be severe.

It's better to play it safe.

Seizing an opportunity should only be done when your own safety is guaranteed. If you can't even save your life, what's the point of seizing it?

After calming myself down, I arrived at the Spirit Beast Garden.

"Seventh Brother, what brings you here?"

A boy of about ten years old, with a chubby face, was leading a blue ox that was taller than him.

Upon seeing Zhang Xuanchen arrive, he asked in surprise.

Zhang Xuanlong, ten years old, with four spiritual roots, officially graduated from school this year.

My dream is to become a great beast tamer.

I often go to the spirit beast garden to take care of the spirit beasts there. I really enjoy being with them.

The monsters in the Spirit Beast Garden, having been tamed from a young age and frequently interacting with the Zhang clan, do not suddenly attack or harm people, and thus their name has changed from monsters to spirit beasts.

Zhang Xuanchen looked at him and smiled as he rubbed his head: "I came to see Grandpa Thirteen about something. But you, Xiaolong, you've almost broken through to the second level of Qi Refining in just a few months."

"Since you won't be going to school anymore, you must focus on your cultivation and avoid playing around. Strive to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining before you turn fifteen."

It's not that Zhang Xuanchen has low standards.

Instead, it's five spiritual roots. Four spiritual roots do indeed make cultivation very slow. If you don't work hard, it's difficult to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining at fifteen, let alone at eighteen.

Most cultivators in the cultivation world possess one of these two types of spiritual roots.

As for the three spiritual roots, even Golden Core families don't have many.

Not all of the nineteen Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Zhang family have three spiritual roots; four of them have four spiritual roots and are all stuck at the early Foundation Establishment stage, making it impossible for them to advance to the Golden Core stage.

Dual spiritual roots, also known as earth spiritual roots, are cultivated by Golden Core factions as seeds for Golden Core cultivation, as long as they are not water or fire, which are mutually exclusive.

As for single-attribute spiritual roots or unique spiritual roots, they are extremely rare, and even Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators would fight tooth and nail for them.

This is also why the Zhang family concealed Zhang Xuanbing's spiritual root aptitude.

If the Zhang family were to expose a single-attribute ice spirit root, they would certainly not be able to protect it, and it might even bring disaster to the family.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators won't just stand by and watch you rise to power.

While the two Earth Spirit Roots are somewhat exaggerated, with a mid-stage Golden Core ancestor overseeing them and the protection of the third-tier top-grade Xuanxiao Burning Heaven Sword Formation, they can still be protected.

Moreover, when the founding ancestor passed away, he left behind many third-tier killing talismans, which were enough to deter villains.

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words of advice, Zhang Xuanlong nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I will definitely cultivate diligently."

"Um."

Looking at the hundreds of black-horned cattle covering the mountains and plains, he patted Zhang Xuanlong on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Remember to let them exercise more. The beef of a first-grade low-level black-horned cattle that loves to exercise is the most delicious."

There are quite a few people who love to eat beef, so we can sell a lot of spirit stones.

"Keep up the good work! Once you break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, Seventh Brother will find you a monster egg or cub with the potential to break through to Foundation Establishment."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanlong was overjoyed and patted his chest, promising, "Xuanlong will definitely not let Seventh Brother down!"

"Haha, let's wait and see."

After saying that, Zhang Xuanchen continued walking deeper into the Spirit Beast Garden.

On the shore of Wangyue Lake, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, with a tall and burly build and graying temples, kept scattering fish food made from low-grade spiritual herbs into the lake.

A majestic white tiger with golden stripes, about three meters long, was resting under a large tree not far away.

Sensing someone's arrival, it raised its head, its golden tiger eyes sweeping over.

Upon seeing Zhang Xuanchen, she tilted her head to the side, ignored him, and continued sleeping.

Upon seeing Zhang Xuanchen, the middle-aged man jokingly said in a loud voice, "Oh? What brings you, such a busy man, here?"

Why are you coming here instead of focusing on your secluded cultivation to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining?

"You insist on waiting until your father brings your mother over before you'll start cultivating properly, is that it?"

The Zhang family of Xuanxiao upholds loyalty, reverence, ancestry, lineage, and glory.

The generational names are Hong, Xuan, De, Xiu, Shen...

The middle-aged man was named Zhang Guangli, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the thirteenth in the Guang generation, and the fifth elder.

The golden tiger over there is his natal spirit beast, a late-stage second-tier beast.

In addition, he also had two early-stage second-tier demonic beasts, but they were killed in a battle with evil cultivators twenty years ago.

Upon hearing Zhang Guangli's words, Zhang Xuanchen didn't waste any more words, and his late-stage Qi Refining aura suddenly erupted.

Although he had not perfected the art of concealing his breath, he had still reached a high level of mastery.

Only cultivators of a higher realm, specifically those in the late Foundation Establishment stage, can see through his true cultivation level.

Spell proficiency is divided into four levels: Beginner, Minor Success, Major Success, and Perfection.

The same applies to the secret technique of concealing one's breath.

Upon sensing Zhang Xuanchen's cultivation level, Zhang Guangli was slightly surprised, but it was within his expectations.

Pressure said, "Don't be arrogant, keep working hard. With your talent, you should be at least at the eighth level of Qi Refining at this age."

He's only barely broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining; he's far from it.

Zhang Xuanchen quickly changed the subject: "Okay, okay, I understand. I will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future. Please don't say anything more."

I've brought a treasure with me today; I'm sure you'll be interested.

I just felt the pressure from Xiaolong, and now I'm feeling the pressure myself.

This truly proves the saying that karma is a cycle, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

"Oh? What kind of treasure could you possibly have?"

As an elder of the Zhang family, he had seen many third-tier natural treasures.

He simply couldn't believe that a mere Qi Refining stage brat could produce a treasure that would capture his heart.

Without wasting any words, Zhang Xuanchen took out the egg.

He chuckled and said, "This is it."

Zhang Guangli glanced at it, saw it was just an egg, smiled, and said nonchalantly:

"You've misjudged it, kid. It's just an ordinary egg... Wait a minute!"
