CHAPTER 859: CHAPTER 859: INHERITANCE LAND

Song Shuhu and Jiang Zheng, the two old foxes, both laughed happily, reaching a pleasant agreement.

Thus, the esteemed Elder from the Dan Sect has now also become an Honorary Elder of the Qingshan Sect.

The release of this news drove many loose cultivators crazy, desperately wanting to join the Qingshan Sect.

Even two eighth-grade Alchemists came, attracted by the reputation.

The surrounding sects like the Beast Taming Sect also felt a strong sense of threat.

One should know that these sects had stolen from the Qingshan Sect a long time ago.

Originally, having one Chen Nan was enough for the Qingshan Sect, and now another Dan Sect Elder comes, leaving no mercy for others.

with no choice, several sects discussed going to the Qingshan Sect now to bring gifts to the Dan Sect Elder, hoping to gain favor first.

Thus, the Qingshan Sect became lively. Today the Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect came personally to visit, tomorrow an elder from Luojian Mountain brought gifts, the day after it was Ten Thousand Array Sect’s turn.

Even the Undying Sect came to visit Song Shuhu.

During this period, Chen Nan stayed focused on alchemy in the Alchemy Room. In his spare time, the thought of going out for training grew stronger within him.

Although cultivation in the Alchemy Room progressed rapidly, it lacked the practical experience and the hint of killing intent that could only be realized in battle.

Even though Alchemists are respected, they have no real advantage in combat, this is precisely the reason.

The current life is too comfortable, even beginning to erode Chen Nan’s fighting spirit.

Sometimes Chen Nan even thought, living a stable life like this might not be so bad.

But such thoughts were soon extinguished by him.

While a stable life is good, Chen Nan could never forget the past hatred.

Xuanming Old Dog aimed to take his life, not only framing him but also banishing him from the Yuantian Sect, even wanting to eliminate him completely, how could he forget that easily?

Nie Xiaoyu is still in the Yuantian Sect, and Chen Nan hasn’t even met her yet, his longing grows day by day.

He fished out the Ancient Realm Token from his storage bag that Jiang Zheng had painstakingly obtained, his eyes gradually becoming resolute.

"I must give it a try!"

In the Ancient Realm, there are not only treasures and heavenly materials left by predecessors but also legacies from powerful warriors, obtaining them would surely allow one to advance further.

With just five months until the Ancient Realm opens, it is necessary to improve one’s cultivation beforehand.

Just as Chen Nan was preparing to cultivate, Jiang Zheng came looking for him.

"Disciple, I have something to discuss with you."

"Master, if it’s just a small matter, don’t bother me. I want to cultivate." Chen Nan said impatiently.

Recently, whenever Jiang Zheng came to find him, it was for no particular reason, purely to keep an eye on him to prevent him from running off with Song Shuhu.

"This time it’s a serious matter!"

Jiang Zheng’s expression was more solemn than ever before.

"What exactly is it?" Chen Nan’s curiosity was piqued.

Jiang Zheng gazed deeply, saying lightly, "Disciple, do you know the true inheritance of our Qingshan Sect?"

"True inheritance? Isn’t it just those incomplete cultivation techniques in the back mountain?" Chen Nan smiled bitterly.

"Of course not!" Jiang Zheng replied with a serious expression, "Those are mere superficial and haven’t truly been passed down."

"In fact, the ancestors of our Qingshan Sect left the real inheritance, but it is only available to the disciples of the Qingshan Sect."

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Nan was taken aback and his attitude became serious.

He was wondering how the Qingshan Sect, which was once so powerful, could have fallen to its former state. It seems there is indeed a secret!

"The Qingshan Sect has a place of inheritance, where the masters of the Qingshan Sect in each generation leave their inheritances upon death, waiting for future disciples of the Qingshan Sect to obtain."

"But since the Qingshan Sect began to decline, no one has been able to gain the ancestors’ approval and obtain the inheritances left by them. I too went in back then, but returned without success."

Recalling the past, Jiang Zheng couldn’t help but sigh.

"Then it was my disciples who came next, none of whom were competent to inherit the ancestors’ legacies, so I hid the secret of the place of inheritance."

"Of course, it’s also because the Qingshan Sect was weak, fearing to attract envy from the strong — after all, innocent men get into trouble because of their wealth."

Chen Nan nodded and said, "Master, I understand."

"Now you are the senior disciple of the Qingshan Sect, and I’ve also seen hope for the rise of the Qingshan Sect in you, so I’m telling you the secret of the place of inheritance and preparing to let you enter."

"Maybe you can gain the ancestors’ inheritance and reimagine the elegance of the Qingshan Sect ancestors!"

Thinking over it, Chen Nan agreed. After all, who could say no to such an opportunity?

"By the way, should we let Junior Sister also enter? Her aptitude isn’t bad either."

In this situation, he didn’t forget about Tang Zhirou.

"Indeed, it should be so. Then prepare yourself. I will inform your junior sister, and both of you will enter the place of inheritance together."

...

Soon, Tang Zhirou was brought before Chen Nan, and the three of them, without any further ado, went directly to the Book Cave at the back mountain.

The incomplete inheritances of the Qingshan Sect were originally here, but later a Library Pavilion was built, so all the cultivation techniques here were moved to the Pavilion.

Though they were incomplete, they could still make an impressive appearance.

"Weren’t the cultivation techniques here all moved away? Why are we here?" Seeing Jiang Zheng return to the Book Cave, Chen Nan was full of confusion.

Jiang Zheng smiled slightly, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one would think that the place of inheritance of our Qingshan Sect is actually within the Book Cave."

"The Book Cave is merely a blinding technique."

"Sounds impressive, Master, take us there quickly!"

Chen Nan impatiently urged.

Jiang Zheng glanced at Chen Nan unkindly, "Do you think the entrance to the place of inheritance is like a cabbage? It must be approached with utmost caution."

The three of them quickly arrived at the depths of the Book Cave. It was very chaotic here, with rubble strewn everywhere, not at all looking like a place with an entrance.

Even if someone came to the Book Cave, they would never think there was a secret hidden under a pile of rubble.

Jiang Zheng waved his sleeve lightly, and the stones on the ground were cleared away, faintly revealing an array on the ground.

The array had intricate engravings, but unfortunately, due to the passage of time, the array patterns were almost worn out.

Tang Zhirou pointed at the array and directly scolded Jiang Zheng.

"Old man, you’re so unreliable! Can this array still work? Are you certain we won’t perish halfway?"

"I swear by the heavens, this teleportation array has absolutely no issues; It has already transported people over a thousand times."

"That’s why faith leads to ruin!" Tang Zhirou didn’t give Jiang Zheng a good face at all.

Luckily this was the back mountain, where ordinary disciples dared not enter.

Otherwise, Jiang Zheng’s hard-earned prestige as Sect Leader would crumble in an instant.
