Chapter 131: A Short Separation Makes You Happy

Xu Chen walked up to the white-haired old beggar and squatted down.

"Old sir, come with us. I'll find someone to take care of you from now on."

The white-haired old man looked up at him, his eyes dull. Clearly, this former expert had suffered a severe injury, and his Divine Soul was damaged.

Xu Qingzhou said, "There's still some Soul Nurturing Liquid left from when I helped your mistress mend her Divine Soul. When we get back to the Xu Family, feed the rest to him and see how it goes."

A sincere smile hung on Xu Chen's still-young face as he extended his hand.

"Let's go, old sir, come with me."

The white-haired old man smiled foolishly, took his hand, and stood up.

It was perfectly reasonable for a Heavenly Chosen to go out for a stroll, discover an expert's cave mansion, and bring an old expert grandfather home.

These were also their two biggest gains from this trip.

The two-and-a-half-year treasure hunting trip through the Three Great Dynasties concluded successfully here.

The three of them left the city, boarded a flying boat, and sped back to Lingyue City.

In these two and a half years, Xu Chen's cultivation hadn't lagged either. He was in the early stage of Naling Realm before they set off, and now he was in the Late Stage of Naling Realm, ready to break through to Xuan Dan Realm at any time.

And Steady King Xu Chu had also reached the Late Stage of Naling Realm.

Currently, their cultivation was insufficient, so the cultivation that the System fed back to Xu Qingzhou after their Breakthroughs wasn't much.

Xu Muge and Xu Luo, who were far away in the Great Xia Dynasty, had successively broken through to the Late Stage of Purple Mansion Realm.

Xu Qingzhou also subsequently broke through to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Realm.

From being far inferior to his wife Su Xinyan to now surpassing Su Xinyan, Xu Qingzhou had put in a lot of effort along the way.

If you were to ask what exactly he had put in, Xu Qingzhou himself wouldn't know.

After returning to the Xu Family.

Xu Qingzhou summoned the seven Other Elders for a meeting.

"This time, my trip with Xu Chen yielded significant results. The most important one is obtaining a Beast Tamer inheritance."

"The Other Elders can select some clansmen with Beast Tamer talent or average cultivation talent from the clan and let them try to become Beast Tamers."

The seven Other Elders immediately showed looks of joy.

Beast Tamer inheritances were very rare. By mastering such an inheritance, the Xu Family could Cultivate batches of Beast Tamers within a few years.

At the same time, the Xu Family could rely on these Beast Tamers to expand the business of raising Spirit Beasts again.

Xu Qingzhou spoke again, "The Azure Dragon Secret Realm is about to open. Please compile a list of young people in the clan who are in the Late Stage of Naling Realm. We will go to the Royal Capital together then. Participating in the elimination rounds is also a good opportunity for experience."

The seven replied in unison.

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

During this trip, with the help of Xu Chen's Qi Observation Technique, they had found many treasures. Xu Qingzhou directly gave those useful to Xu Chen to him, kept some of the rest for himself, and gave some to the Family.

After finishing these tasks, it was already dark. Xu Qingzhou returned to his courtyard.

Su Xinyan, who was cultivating, sensed his return, suddenly opened her eyes, walked out of the house, and flew towards Xu Qingzhou.

Su Xinyan directly threw herself into Xu Qingzhou's embrace, wishing she could merge with him. This was the longest time they had been separated since they met.

"You said you were just going out for a walk, how did you take so long?"

Xu Qingzhou gently held her, "We originally planned to return after touring within the dynasties, but Xu Chen still wasn't quite satisfied, so we went to the Black Feather Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty as well."

If Xu Chen heard this, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged, as it was clearly Xu Qingzhou who said since they were already here, they might as well visit their two neighbors.

"Enough talk, let's go! Into the house!"

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Xu Qingzhou held Su Xinyan and entered the house. Just as the battle was in full swing, Yu Shufei also returned.

"It seems I've returned at the wrong time."

"No, you've returned at just the right time."

…..

When it was confirmed that he was going to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Xu Chu began to prepare, and his preparations were different from others.

Others were doing their best to improve their strength to qualify from the elimination rounds and secure a spot.

Xu Chu, on the other hand, bought a lot of things.

Because he planned to enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm this time and only come out when it opened again in ten years, he would be staying inside for three hundred years.

Before, Xu Qingzhou would give him a large amount of cultivation resources every so often, but his cultivation wasn't high enough, so he couldn't use them.

Now, he sold everything he could sell, exchanged it for Spirit Stones, and then went on a spending spree at the Wanbao Pavilion.

Over the years, he had dabbled in Alchemy, artifact crafting, formation arrays, and talismans, knowing a little bit of each.

He even joined in the fun when the Family was selecting Beast Tamers. Anyway, he had plenty of time, and researching these things could not only pass the time but also increase his own trump cards, so why not?

Therefore, Xu Chu first bought a large amount of Materials needed for Alchemy, artifact crafting, setting up formations, and making talismans.

After all, he would be staying inside for three hundred years, so he had to find something to do.

Then he bought a large amount of Spirit Medicine and spirit plant seeds, which he could plant in the Secret Realm and harvest when he came out.

Finally, he also bought a large amount of spirit wine. He would bury it when entering the Secret Realm, and when he came out, it would be three-hundred-year-old aged wine.

This aged wine, whether for drinking himself or selling, was a very good choice.

Fortunately, the resources Xu Qingzhou had given him before were sufficient, otherwise, he really wouldn't have enough to buy so many things.

After everything was fully prepared, Xu Chu stayed with his parents, siblings, and sisters, as this separation would last for ten years.

…..

During the time Xu Qingzhou was not at home, Su Xinyan was mostly cultivating, while Yu Shufei cultivated for a while and then went to the Wanbao Pavilion to handle some affairs.

Now that Xu Qingzhou was back, neither of them cultivated anymore; they switched to cultivating Xu Qingzhou.

This cultivation lasted for half a month, and none of the three left the house.

If it weren't for the impending opening of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm and Xu Qingzhou needing to take the young people of the clan to the Royal Capital, it would have continued.

Even Xu Qingzhou, who was powerful, exceptionally talented, and had extraordinary abilities, found it a bit hard to bear.

Xu Qingzhou, supporting his waist, came to the Family's council hall. The Great Elder handed him the compiled list.

This list included all the young people in the clan who were in the Late Stage of Naling Realm.

There were a total of thirty-six people.

It should be noted that when the Azure Dragon Secret Realm opened ten years ago, there were only a few members of the Xu Family in the Late Stage of Naling Realm, and even at that time, the total number of Xu Family members in Naling Realm was not thirty-six.

In the end, only Xu Muge and Xu Luo entered the Secret Realm.

This time, perhaps more members of the Xu Family would be able to enter the Secret Realm. In any case, the minimum was two, Xu Chu and Xu Chen.

"The Azure Dragon Secret Realm elimination rounds begin tomorrow. Summon them, and we will depart immediately," Xu Qingzhou said.

The Great Elder nodded, and soon, all thirty-six young clan members in the Late Stage of Naling Realm were gathered.

Xu Chen and Xu Chu were naturally among them.
