Family cultivation of immortality: starting from Jiuhua Mountain

Yunxi Pavilion, outside Xiyun Mountain.

When the four golden elixir cultivators appeared outside Xiyun Mountain, the monks in Yunxi Pavilion instantly became panicked, with panic on their faces.

Nowadays, there are only three golden elixirs, Qi Tianchen, Su Yunxi, and Yunyue Fairy, and nine monks from Zifu in the entire Xiyun Mountain.

In terms of combat power, the high-level monks were far inferior to the Qingyuan Sect and the Qingfeng Valley coalition, which had six golden elixir monks, including Luo Chengye and Ren Mulan who were in the later stages of the golden elixir.

Although there are more foundation-building monks in Xiyun Mountain, with a total of more than 260 people, they can't stop the attacks of high-level monks from Qingyuan Sect and Qingfeng Valley Alliance in a field battle outside.

Even relying on the blessing formations of thousands of Qi-training monks on the mountain, they can barely hold the mountain gate.

However, in war, we will definitely lose the initiative and fall into complete passivity.

Having trapped Xiyun Mountain, Ren Mulan and Patriarch Luo did not waste their mana rashly to test Xiyun Mountain's mountain-protecting formation.

They are now racing against time to mobilize supplies, preparing to launch a general offensive five years later when the manpower and material resources are fully prepared.

Seeing that the armies of monks from the two sects were already stationed, Ren Mulan also said immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, it's not an option for us to stay idle in Xiyun Mountain."

"I think I still need to mobilize manpower to clear out the vassal families of Yunxi Pavilion, capture the other two fourth-level spiritual veins in Yunxi Pavilion, and cooperate with Qingfeng Valley to capture the Mengze Mountain Lingshi Mine to eliminate our worries."

"As for the local vassal families, as long as they are willing to surrender, there is no need to kill them. Let them keep their mountain gates and provide us with food and logistics."

Luo Chengye also happily agreed at this time: "Well, this matter is easy to talk about. The two fourth-level spiritual veins and the Mengze Lingshi mine controlled by Yunxi Pavilion will be owned by Qingfeng Valley in the future."

"We, the monks of the Qingyuan Sect, are also following your command in this battle. However, there are still more than 200 foundation-building monks on Xiyun Mountain. In order to prevent Qi Tianchen and Su Yunxi from breaking out, we cannot dispatch too many people."

Ren Mulan said: "I think there are five Zifu, sixty-year-old foundation-building monks are enough."

"Who are you going to let the fairy lead?" Patriarch Luo asked tentatively at this time.

Ren Mulan thought for a while and replied: "It is rumored that Chen Yuhua, the guest elder of your Qingyuan Sect, is very powerful in fighting skills and is also very advanced in cultivation."

"You can ask my nephews Qingfenggu Jingfeng and Zhuiyun to follow the Chen family's Sanzi Mansion, and then dispatch sixty foundation-building monks to eliminate all the fish that have slipped through the net under the command of Qi Tianchen and Su Yunxi."

The hardest bones of Yunxi Pavilion and Jingyang Gate are on Xiyun Mountain. Purging the vassal families outside can be said to be a very big job.

Seeing Ren Mulan give up this piece of fat to the Chen family's Sanzi Mansion, Patriarch Luo remained calm on the surface, but secretly thought in his heart.

"Why does Ren Mulan value the Three Purple Mansion of the Chen family so much? What is the reason?"

Although he had some secret guesses, he couldn't refute this matter and let himself be a villain, and then arrange for his close people to swallow this piece of fat.

After all, Chen Yuhua and his wife are the elders of the Purple Mansion of Qingyuan Sect. Once they break up with Patriarch Luo, they will only make outsiders laugh.

Starting from decades ago, in order to win over Chen Yuhua and the three purple houses of the Chen family, the two golden elixir ancestors Luo Chengye and Shen Yuntong would never give orders to Chen Yuhua, and would discuss all major matters with them before making decisions.

After the discussion was finalized, Chen Yuhua immediately began to select people from among the foundation-building monks.

In order to balance the interests of all parties, he did not bring any foundation-building monks from the Chen family with him on this trip.

Instead, they generously divided the fat difference and selected thirty foundation-building monks from Qingyuan Sect and Qingfeng Valley each with upright talents and profound backgrounds.

Then he, Liu Jingfeng and Lu Zhuiyun, two monks from the Purple Mansion of Qingfeng Valley, led the team to Mengze Mountain.

Mengzeshan Lingshi Mine has been mined for thousands of years. This Lingshi Mine is considered to be the earliest Lingshi Mine in Liang Kingdom.

After thousands of years of mining, the output of the Mengze Mountain Lingshi Mine has declined, and now only more than 10,000 pieces of low-grade Lingshi can be mined a year.

As for the remaining reserves of this spiritual stone mine, because the monks of Yunxi Pavilion are very secretive, outsiders have no idea at all.

In order to guard this spiritual stone mine, the Yunxi Pavilion monks also arranged for Song Jinyu, an elder from the Zifu period, to take charge.

Song Jinyu is not young anymore, he is over 460 years old. For a monk in the Zifu period, he is already old and frail. In his early years, this person was like Luo Yuanqing. His physical body was injured due to fighting with others, and his cultivation level could no longer be improved.

Although he is an old man who has practiced Taoism for many years, his magic power is far less profound than that of Chen Yuhua, and he only has the third level of Zi Mansion.

Song Jinyu has been accustomed to stability in the Mengze Mountain Lingshi Mine for many years.

Although it was rumored that the sect suffered a disastrous defeat at Jingyang Mountain, and even two of the most powerful Zifu monks in the sect, Wang Guming and Wang Zhanjiang, died at the hands of enemy cultivator Chen Yuhua, he always felt that the war would not come soon.

Unexpectedly, Qingyuan Sect and Qingfeng Valley Sect formed an alliance and already had the power to destroy Jingyang Sect and Yunxi Pavilion Sect.

Only when Xiyun Mountain was besieged and the sect used special means to spread the news to Mengze Mountain and asked him to prepare to blow up the spirit stone veins did he realize the seriousness of the matter.

Song Jinyu has lived for more than 460 years. His ancestors were all ordinary mortals. The reason why he was able to cultivate to the Zifu was because of the sect's cultivation.

He has deep feelings for the Yunxi Pavilion sect, and this feeling even exceeds his own life.

Although his cultivation level was average among the Zifu monks, he was a person who could understand the situation clearly. After receiving the news from the sect, he knew that the destruction of Yunxi Pavilion had become an inevitable outcome.

Song Jinyu himself was not afraid of death. He did not hide anything. He collected the thunder and fire talismans from all the monks on Mengze Mountain and placed them at key nodes in the Lingshi Mine.

Then he dismissed most of the monks and insisted on his final mission for the sect with the determination to die.

There are only nineteen people left on the huge Mengze Mountain. These nineteen weak people are all dead soldiers of Yunxi Pavilion and some of the most loyal people to the sect.

Compared to the army of monks led by Chen Yuhua, Song Jinyu's nineteen men are undoubtedly weak. Even if they don't have the fourth-level formation-breaking beads in their hands, they can't hold on to the spirit stone veins.

But it is still very easy for nineteen monks who are determined to destroy the spiritual stone mine in Mengze Mountain.

Although Chen Yuhua and others' sneak attack was timed very cleverly and their tactical command was flawless, it was a pity that they still could not prevent this incident.

Let Song Jinyu blow up the Zi Mansion and blow up Mengze Mountain. The outside of the Lingshi Mine was also blown into ruins.

Fortunately, Chen Yuhua also stopped it in time, and the Lingshi mine was not completely destroyed.

The unfavorable first battle also made Chen Yuhua's Wuzi Mansion look ashamed. They then took Song Jinyu's head to intimidate the nearby immortal cultivating families.

He ruthlessly destroyed three hesitant foundation-building families and breached their mountain gates.

Then he recruited traitors, gathered a large number of people, and began to restore the production capacity of the Mengze Mountain Lingshi Mine.

The Mengze Mountain Lingshi Mine has been mined for thousands of years. The mine tunnels inside are criss-crossed and very complex. It would require a huge investment to dig out new mine tunnels.

Everyone divided Song Jinyu's storage bag, and then Chen Yuhua asked ten Qingfeng Valley foundation-building monks to station themselves on Mengze Mountain.

Driving a large number of Yunxi Pavilion vassals to work in the Mengze Mountain mines, letting them dig the mine tunnels to atone for their sins.

As for Chen Yuhua and the other five Zifus, they began to attack the other two fourth-level spiritual veins.

After three months, the other two fourth-level spiritual vessels in Yunxi Pavilion were all captured by five people.

The two Zifu period monks Wei Shengli and Wang Lanfeng who were stationed there also escaped with their lives, and the territory of Yunxi Pavilion was all pacified by Chen Yuhua.

In the process, Chen Yuhua and the other five also broke into the Jiu Ji Family, which had deep entanglements with Yunxi Pavilion, and seized a lot of frivolous wealth.

A considerable part of this batch of frivolous wealth was divided among the five Zifu monks, and as the leader of the monk alliance, Chen Yuhua also took the lion's share.

Just for the most important exercises to the Chen family, there are sixteen exercises in the foundation-building stage, five in the purple mansion stage, and one in the golden elixir stage.

This batch of exercises were burned into jade slips by Chen Yuhua and stored in the Chen family's library.
