Huaxian

Chapter 354
In the blink of an eye, it was more than two months, and soon there will be the Four Clans Competition.

During this period of time, the affairs of the Liutao family were basically settled, all the resources that had been seized before were returned, and part of the resources were ceded to make up for the Liu family!
Except for the Poison Sect being wiped out, all other forces have returned to their original places!
The Fengmei family also began to show affection to the Liu family, and the Tao family was isolated, and the peace in the South Ring was restored.

But on this day, Liu Chen stood on the back mountain. After two months of unremitting efforts, the back mountain gradually improved.

"Young master, the patriarch said he has something important to discuss with you." Liu Feng stood behind Liu Chen with a respectful expression.

Hearing this, Liu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Then Xiaoqing turned into a cyan streamer and flew towards Liu's house.

Stepping into the meeting hall, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. They didn't dare to be disrespectful, but the ten Jindanqi elders looked ashamed.

"Chen'er, you're here." Liu Qingyun pointed to the seat below with a gentle expression, signaling him to sit down.

"Ah."

Liu Chen said lightly, and immediately sat down on the chair, remaining silent.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall seemed dull and awkward.

Finally, Liu Qingyun spoke first, and said: "Chen'er, the ancestor of the wood spirit has already left the customs, and in a few days it will be the competition of the four clans. I will check the attitude of the ancestor in advance."

"it is good!"

Liu Chen said lightly, without any expression on his face, he seemed indifferent, but actually there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.

I have devoted myself to the Liu family and paid so much, but in the end they only care about whether they can participate in the four clans competition and whether they can help them get the first place.

never!He never asked about his father!
There is no intention of taking Liu Moran and others back to the family!
"Chen'er, do you need us to tell you about the Four Clans Competition in detail?" Liu Qingyun asked.

Hearing this, Liu Chen shook his head and said, "No need, I understand it clearly."

"Well, let's come here first today." After Liu Qingyun finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and stood up immediately.

A total of twelve elders left one after another, and Liu Chen was no exception, but at this moment, Liu Qingyun said, "Chen'er, you stay."

"Patriarch?" Liu Chen frowned, turned to look at Liu Qingyun and asked.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyun immediately walked down from above, and said with a smile: "Chen'er, you don't have to worry too much."

Liu Chen didn't speak, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment again, so Liu Qingyun waved his hands and said, "Okay, Chen'er, go back and get ready!"

"it is good!"

Liu Chen said lightly, and immediately retreated.

The next few days were also very peaceful, living on the back mountain, apart from making puppets, the only thing left was to practice.

In two months, Liu Chen re-refined five early Nascent Soul puppets!
On this day, Liu Feng happily flew to Liu Chen's side, excitedly said: "Young master, I want to tell you a piece of good news!"

"What good news?" Liu Chen asked in a flat tone with no emotion on his face.

Liu Feng took a deep breath, and said: "Actually, Patriarch Mu Ling left the customs two months ago. He has been paying attention to the affairs of Liu Tao's family. The thick monster aura erupting from the back mountain that day, he The old man has already noticed it."

"And bluntly said that he wants to see you, it seems that the ancestor likes you very much!"

"Patriarch Wood Spirit wants to see me?"

Liu Chen's complexion changed, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Why did the ancestor of the wood spirit want to see me?
"Young master?" Liu Feng shook his hand and pulled Liu Chen back from his trance.

"I see."

Liu Chen waved his sleeves, and immediately flew back to Liu's house. At this moment, Liu Qingyun and the others were sitting excitedly in the meeting hall. When they saw Liu Chen appearing, they all stood up excitedly.

"Chen'er, Feng'er already told you, right?" Liu Qingyun said.

Hearing this, Liu Chen nodded slightly, and continued: "I'm going to see the ancestor now!"

"Go, go, we are waiting for your good news here!"

After saying that, Liu Chen left Liu's house non-stop, and flew to the retreat place of the ancestor of the wood spirit!
In fact, a long time ago, there were no so-called four major families in the South Ring, there was only one Mu family headquarters, and the four major families were all managed by the Mu family!

Under the management of the Mu family, each of the four major families performed what they are best at, and the Mu family once became the most glorious existence.

But people outside only know the Mu family in the southern ring, but they don't know the four branches of the Mu family!

They are the Willow Clan who is good at researching mechanism puppets, the Maple Clan who makes wooden swords, the Mei Clan who makes wooden talismans, and the Peach Clan who makes armors!
None of the four major families would accept anyone, and they all believed that their own family was the strongest line of the Mu family!
As time went on, the conflicts between the four families grew deeper and deeper, and finally broke out.

At that time, the real wood spirit was only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, unable to stop it, and did not want to stop it.

After the four major families got the acquiescence of the real Mu Ling, they led their own people out of the Mu family headquarters, and only then did the four major families in the southern ring land.

And the Mu family headquarters lost the four major families, and gradually declined, and finally only the real Mu Ling was left!
However, the tradition of the four clan competitions has been preserved, and it can be regarded as providing a platform to determine the strongest clan!

About the time of flying for a stick of incense, Liu Chen saw a bare mountain!
The mountain is completely natural, and there is no trace of artificial excavation at all, even Liu Chen can't see any clues.

"The young master of the Liu Clan, Liu Chen, pay homage to the ancestor of the wood spirit!" Liu Chen stopped in front of the mountain, and instead of kneeling on the ground, he cupped his fists and said respectfully.

"come in!"

A voice of vicissitudes seemed to come from ancient times, and it sounded in the mountain, and then a huge stone gate appeared in front of it, slowly opening!

Liu Chen stood up straight, walked towards the mountain with his head held high.

It's a blessing not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided, not to mention that there is a magic orb on his body!

Stepping into the mountain, the inside has already been completely hollowed out, and there are still a few huge spiritual wood mechanisms left, and there are exquisite mechanisms everywhere!

Wooden talismans, wooden swords, armor, puppets.

All kinds of things are placed on both sides. Obviously, the relationship between the four major families was quite good in the beginning!
"hiss!"

Liu Chen glanced around, and was suddenly speechless in shock, it turns out that human strength can also do this!
It is easy to destroy a mountain, but it is definitely not an easy task to build such a closed space inside the mountain with these exquisite arrangements!

"You are Liu Chen?" Suddenly, an old figure appeared in front of Liu Chen, looking him up and down.

"Yes!" Liu Chen replied.

The moment Liu Chen raised his head, his pupils shrank sharply, and the real wood spirit's body was not human!But a puppet!
A puppet with a green body, the mechanism at the joints can be clearly seen, it is covered with an armor, a long wooden sword is carried on the back, the left arm is completely made of wooden symbols, and a savings bag is pinned to the waist.

Liu Chen couldn't imagine, if the wood spirit patriarch went out like this, would he be treated as a puppet?
"Are you surprised to see my body like this?" Mu Ling Patriarch said calmly, because his body was a puppet, so Liu Chen couldn't guess his current expression at all.

"The ancestor is a fellow practitioner of the four veins and has outstanding talent. Liu Chen is not surprised, but admired!" Liu Chen immediately bowed down and said respectfully.

Hearing this, Master Mu Ling smiled, took two steps forward, and said: "You can talk, you are strong, and you are very thoughtful. The most important thing is to do things safely. I appreciate you very much!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chen's hanging heart finally let go when he came in, he turned his head and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, ancestor!"

"Although I have been in seclusion all year round, I have always been well aware of the movements of the four major families. This time the Tao family attacked the Liu family, I have seen everything in my eyes." Master Mu Ling said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Chen frowned, you saw everything, why didn't you stop it?With your identity and strength, it must be very easy to stop it!

Seemingly seeing through Liu Chen's doubts, he explained: "I can indeed save the Liu family, but the Liu family has been in business for many years and was once the head of the four major families. If you can't even overcome this difficulty, then there is no existence." It's necessary!"

"The secret arts of the Liu family are not unique to them. It is not difficult for me to cultivate a puppet family!"

"I mainly want to see how much of the Liu family's heritage is left after going downhill for so many years. If they can block the Tao family's attack, I will naturally step forward to quell the war!"

"I see."

Liu Chen took a deep breath, he didn't expect that the real Mu Ling is also a cruel person, although he can't see his face clearly, but if he thinks about it for a while, he will know that he is not a kind person!
"I think after this incident, the Liu family should work hard and not let today's incident happen again!" Master Mu Ling looked into the distance and nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Master Mu Ling changed the subject and said, "Actually, I called you this time because I want to tell you one thing."

"The competition of the four clans is just a formality. As long as you win the first place, I will send you to a secret realm, where you may get something to enter the Nascent Soul stage."

"Secret realm?" Liu Chen was startled when he heard this, but at the same time became vigilant, there is no free lunch in the world.

He is destined not to be a member of the Liu Clan, let alone stay here to serve the Liu Clan. Master Mu Ling also knows very well that he must have something he wants!

"That's right, only Ice Demon and I know about this secret realm, but only cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage can enter it. I entered it once when I was young, and this is the only way I can enter the Nascent Soul Stage Dzogchen!"

Liu Chen pondered for a moment, then cut to the chase: "What else do I need to do?"

"It's very simple. After you enter the secret realm, bring me something out."

"What?" Liu Chen's heart sank, and he asked immediately.

Hearing this, the ancestor of the wood spirit said in a serious tone: "Real wood seeds."
