I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 207 - 175: Chen Clan

The Cloud Sea atop Yunlan Peak flowed quietly like the finest white silk.

On this day, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted into motion.

A pillar of light abruptly surged from deep within the mountain, where the five-colored spiritual energy of red, green, yellow, white, and black wove together in midair like five giant dragons, forming a tremendous vortex that covered a two-hundred-mile radius of mountains and hills.

When the rainbow light pierced through the clouds, it dyed the flowing clouds in the sky into a colorful tapestry, even causing the streams at the foot of the mountain to shimmer with variegated light, startling birds in the forest into flight and causing animals to crouch low. The entire Yunlan Mountain was bathed in the auspicious phenomenon celebrating with heaven and earth.

The Observation Cloud Platform halfway up the mountain was carved from a whole piece of cyan jade, with cloud patterns along the edges that shone brilliantly under the spirit light.

At this moment, nearly a hundred streaks of rainbow light descended like meteors onto the cloud platform. As the brilliance faded, the figures of Chen Xixing and other second-generation elders of the Chen Clan were revealed.

They wore daoist robes of various colors, with family-specialized jade pendants hanging from their waists, their gazes collectively directed towards the mountain peak enshrouded in five-colored glowing clouds, where the flowing bands of spiritual energy were reflected in their eyes.

There was both the joy for a clan member reaching Core Formation and an infinite yearning for the Great Dao.

"Brother Jiu is finally about to form his Golden Core!"

Chen Xiyue, seventeenth in rank, could not suppress her excitement, her voice crisp like clashing jade pendants, breaking the silence of the cloud platform.

At the forefront stood Chen Xiyue, holding a small jade qilin in his hand, gazing at the five-colored glow with admiration:

"Old Jiu’s grandeur is truly deserving of using the Five Elements Golden Core Pill! The spiritual energy phenomenon for an ordinary cultivator forming a Golden Core spans but a hundred miles."

Chen Xihua, as the first of the Chen Clan second generation to join the Three Elements Dao Sect, was already outstanding with his Earth Grade Spiritual Root.

In recent years, with the sect’s resources invested into his cultivation, he advanced rapidly, finally reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection not long ago.

The crowd naturally paid close attention to his cultivation, knowing that Chen Xihua obtained a Five Elements Fruit from the Dao Sect’s Five Elements Secret Realm over ten years ago. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Later, Chen Sheng personally intervened, using eighteen kinds of Tier Three Spiritual Materials to refine the Five Elements Golden Core Pill. At this moment, feeling the increasingly dense spiritual energy between heaven and earth, no one doubted the outcome of this Core Formation.

A quarter of an hour later, a faint golden Sword Light swept down from the sky, where the Five Elements Spiritual Qi waves parted automatically, revealing a clear path.

The Sword Light, carrying an overwhelming Sword Intent, landed on the cloud platform, bringing with it a gust of whirlwind that made everyone’s daoist robes flap loudly.

"Father is here!"

Chen Xixing was the first to react, quickly stepping forward respectfully and lowering his gaze.

As the eldest son, the jade pendant at his waist carried an extra gold rim compared to others, his slightly bowed posture reflecting the steadiness of a big brother.

The crowd turned sideways at his words, creating a square clearing about ten feet wide at the cloud platform’s center, led by Chen Xixing.

As the glow dispersed, Chen Sheng’s figure gradually emerged, wearing a dark-gold trimmed daoist robe with intricate pill patterns embroidered on the cuffs.

"Greetings, Father!"

Nearly a hundred voices united as one, filled with filial affection and awe, reverberating above the cloud platform.

Chen Sheng’s gaze swept over his children, who, despite being over forty, still displayed the same respect as they did years ago on Nine Cloud Peak.

He nodded lightly, his gaze passing over the churning spiritual energy vortex in the sky, then turned to Chen Xixing:

"How long has the phenomenon been underway?"

"Father, it’s been a quarter of an hour."

Chen Xixing’s voice was steady, subtly smoothing the creases on his daoist robe that the wind had raised.

Chen Sheng acknowledged with a "hmm" and didn’t dwell on the phenomenon there.

During Core Formation, the gathering of spiritual energy was only the beginning; the true crucial phase of forming the Pill Domain still required several hours.

He turned to look at his children behind him, fixing his gaze on a young man at the far left:

"Xiyang, come here, how have you been progressing in your cultivation lately?"

Chen Xiyang, the youngest of Chen Sheng’s children, was ranked last among his one hundred and eight offspring, having just turned forty, with his High Grade Wood Spirit Root always exuding a faint herbal aroma around him.

Upon hearing his father, he hurried forward, a shy smile on his face, carrying more youthful essence than the steadiness of his elder brothers:

"At present, I’m tending to the Spirit Plants in the clan’s Spirit Plant Garden. Under elder brother’s guidance, I recently married a lady from the renowned Lin Clan of Suiyang, and just last month, our daughter was born. She somewhat resembles her mother...

Chen Sheng observed the grass stains on his son’s daoist robe, recalling how this youngest child always loved squatting in the medicine plots of Nine Cloud Peak, and nodded lightly.

Now a Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Plant Master, Chen Xiyang could cultivate Condensed Dew Grass, which greatly benefited Foundation Establishment Cultivators, making him quite distinguished in the clan.

As for his children’s marriages and progeny, Chen Sheng, though focused on cultivation and unable to inquire one by one, was generally aware through the clan records revised every ten years by Chen Xixing.

The Lin Clan of Suiyang was a well-known spiritual plant noble family, and this engagement suited Xiyang’s nature well.

"Good."

Chen Sheng nodded slightly, retrieving a jade scroll of a jade green hue from his storage ring:

"This is ’The Green Spirit Cultivation Method,’ which might help you care for wood attribute spirit plants."

Chen Xiyang received the jade scroll with both hands, his palms warming at the smooth jade surface, feeling his eyes grow slightly warm:

"Thank you, father."

Chen Sheng then called each of his children in turn, inquiring about their conditions, patiently listening.

He nodded occasionally, sometimes asking about cultivation difficulties, or taking out suitable cultivation technique jade scrolls or spiritual materials to aid their spiritual roots.

When Chen Xihuo, ranked fifty-three, stepped forward, a faint pill fire aura emanated from him:

"Father, I am currently overseeing the refining of elixir pills at the Commerce Association’s affiliated Pill Workshop. Last month, I successfully refined a batch of Tier Two High Grade Qi Storage Pills."
