Chapter 251: Chapter 250 I Don’t Know Anything (Please Subscribe) Several hours later. On the official road, carriages and pedestrians gradually increased. In the distance, a giant city appeared, like a colossal beast resting there, with tall city walls stretching for dozens of miles. The densely packed pits on the walls seemed to tell of its weathered history, adding a sense of ancient solidity. On the walls, soldiers marched in formation, with young generals in armor, exuding a highly intimidating aura. Faintly visible within the city walls were many buildings, ancient and magnificent. The city gate, towering eight zhang high, was wide and thick, resembling the gaping mouth of a giant beast, swallowing and spitting out the stream of people. "East City County!" Four ancient and weathered characters were deeply engraved on the city gate, visible to all who looked up. Bai Ziyue and his entourage, riding on spirited horses with a large black dog, quietly followed the flow of people into the city. Zhang Zhen, Dong Zhengwu, and the others finally let out a long breath, revealing a hint of comfort and relief. It’s safe! Finally, truly safe. No need to worry about sudden attacks on the road, or enchanting smoke being blown into their rooms for assassination while they sleep. Nor would there be Second-class Experts, First-class Experts, or even Innate Experts targeting them. Throughout their journey, they endured numerous hardships, experiencing many highs and lows, truly thrilling moments. Most importantly, the benefits promised by Fan Qingyu were about to be realized. The rewards that made them risk their lives to complete the escort mission were now within reach, finally safely in hand. Would Fan Qingyu go back on her word? Initially, they had such concerns, but after confirming that she was an Immortal Technique Enlightenment Realm cultivator, they completely let go of their worries. To them, such a presence had an exceptionally high status, far above them, unlikely to disregard promises over mere wealth and treasures. In Bai Ziyue’s eyes, a hint of excitement appeared. Having smoothly arrived at East City County, all he had to do next was to safely deliver Fan Qingyu to the Chen Family, then he could receive the Innate Pill. The Innate Pill could help a First-class Expert break through to the Innate realm, incredibly precious. Even though he had the miraculous Attribute Panel, he wasn’t entirely confident in breaking through to the Innate Realm on his own. After all, the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Creation Technique capped at the peak of First-class Expert, and the Innate Technique could only be cultivated after breaking through to the Innate Realm. There was an inherent barrier that needed to be overcome on one’s own. The Innate Pill was precisely the top-grade spiritual pill capable of helping to break through this barrier. It was Bai Ziyue’s first time setting foot in East City County. The tidy roads, broad streets, and bustling areas were far beyond what Wujiang County could compare to. There were many more martial artists among the crowd, while scholars, merchants, and laborers moved with confidence, chests held high, exuding a strong presence. To allow Fan Qingyu to rest and heal, Bai Ziyue and his group rented a carriage and headed straight for the Chen Family. Unlike the Immortal Cultivation Clans of the Lin Family and the Di Family who relocated outside the county, the Chen Family was situated at the center of East City County. After entering through the city gate and passing through a dozen streets or so, Bai Ziyue and his group finally reached the area occupied by the Chen Family after nearly two hours. At the entrance to a massive estate covering nearly a thousand acres, several burly men dressed as Chen Family household servants stood, their eyes gleaming with a subtle sense of superiority. Upon seeing the unfamiliar, somewhat plain carriage that lacked exotic beasts or horses with exotic bloodlines, their eyes immediately grew sharp, filled with an inherent intimidation. "Who are you?" One man stepped forward and asked in a deep voice. "I... I am Zhang Zhen of the Four Seas Escort Agency, a leader of the escort..." Feeling a bit nervous, Zhang Zhen clasped his hands together. Though he had heard of places like the high门大阀 of the陈 family before, he had never encountered them. Now seeing it, he was even more daunted. He quickly noticed that even the weakest of the Chen Family gatekeepers were Inner Power Realm Martial Artists. The leader, who questioned him, was a Third-class Expert no weaker than himself... "Why does the Four Seas Escort Agency come to our Chen Estate?" The gatekeeper leader asked sternly. "I..." "Head Zhang, let me." Bai Ziyue patted Zhang Zhen’s shoulder, then took out the Purple Gold Token from his chest, and said loudly, "I have important business and must see the head of the Chen Family." "Purple... Purple Gold... Purple Gold Token..." The gatekeeper leader trembled, utterly shocked. He quickly looked at Bai Ziyue with respect and fear, repeatedly saying, "Please, wait here. We will notify them immediately..." A few minutes later, a group of people from within the Chen Estate warmly welcomed them inside. ... In a courtyard, peach blossoms drifted gently, occasionally falling onto the pond beside. The water in the pond was crystal clear, with a few fish swimming leisurely. Bai Ziyue sat under a peach tree, his gaze deep and contemplative. "This Chen Family truly deserves its reputation as the top Immortal Cultivation Clan in East City County. The depth of their heritage is awe-inspiring." Three days had passed since delivering Fan Qingyu to the Chen Family. Three days ago, an elder of the Chen Family named Chen Xianzhong respectfully received Fan Qingyu and agreed to her terms, promising to deliver the agreed benefits, including the Innate Pill, to Bai Ziyue and his group. Both parties were equally pleased. Bai Ziyue and his companions were also arranged to stay within the Chen Residence. Of course, they also took away the Purple Gold Token from his hand. In the past three days, the Chen Clan did not prohibit him from moving around freely, making him increasingly aware of the deep heritage of this Immortal Cultivation Clan. He encountered more than one First-class Expert, and there were even more Second-class Experts. When he met with the Chen Clan elder, he vaguely felt that the elder’s imposing presence was like a deep abyss, no less than that life-taking scythe Cai Xun, and perhaps even stronger. Clearly, the elder was a Martial Artist who had reached the Innate Realm. All of this deepened his understanding of the Chen Clan’s profound heritage. However, two days ago, Zhang Zhen and the others had already received their rewards and left joyously, but the Innate Pill that Fan Qingyu promised him had still not been delivered. When he asked about it, they only mentioned that the matter of the Innate Pill must be personally approved by the clan leader before it could be taken out of the treasury, and the clan leader was said to have just gone out to visit friends and would not return for a few days... "Could it be they don’t want to part with the Innate Pill and are just making excuses? Fan Qingyu hasn’t shown up in the past few days either..." Bai Ziyue furrowed his brow, a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Let’s wait and see for two more days. If there’s still no news, we’ll have to consider the worst-case scenario. It’s just as well that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the Lin Mansion is indeed abundant, which is beneficial for my cultivation of the Purple Mansion Creation Technique. Perhaps I can really connect the twelve main meridians and the eight great strange meridians into a complete cultivation technique operation diagram on the Attribute Panel before upgrading, officially entering the realm of a First-class Expert." He took a deep breath, dispelling a trace of fierce determination from his heart. ... "Third Uncle, do we really have to give that person the Innate Pill?" In a courtyard, a middle-aged man looked towards an elderly person across from him, whose hair was white, and eyes appeared slightly cloudy. Although the elder seemed frail and aged, his presence was extremely powerful, and the aura that faintly emanated from him made the middle-aged man in front of him anxious. The elder was evidently a Martial Artist in the Innate Realm. He was also the Chen clan elder who had initially received Bai Ziyue and his companions, Chen Xianzhong. As for the middle-aged man, he was Chen Zhixian. Though his aura was not as strong as Chen Xianzhong’s, his body was constantly enveloped in a layer of spirit light, indicating that he was an Immortal Cultivator. His cultivation had already reached the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, making him a formidable force and a direct heir of the Chen Clan. If he had the opportunity to break through to the Enlightenment Realm, it was not impossible for him to become the Patriarch of the Chen Clan. "That’s right, promises must be kept. It’s only because the Clan Leader hasn’t returned yet; otherwise, the Innate Pill should have already been taken out of the treasury and handed over to Young Master Bai." Chen Xianzhong nodded affirmatively, though a trace of envy flashed deep in his eyes. Despite being in the Innate Realm, he was acutely aware that the Chen Clan was an Immortal Cultivation Clan. Even at the Qi Refinement Stage, one’s lifespan could be extended, easily living up to a hundred years, and at most, up to a hundred and fifty years. If one broke through to the Enlightenment Realm, one could live up to two hundred fifty years. As for him, an Innate Realm Martial Artist, he had injured his lungs in an accident, and despite being only eighty-seven, he already looked old and frail, and at most, he had only about forty years left to live... "But I promised Uncle Zhong to get him an Innate Pill. Now there is only one Innate Pill left in the treasury, and the next replenishment will take three years... Uncle Zhong has worked diligently for our Chen Clan for thirty years. He reached the peak of First-class Expert a year ago and is now approaching eighty years old. A Martial Artist over eighty begins to lose the vitality retained by martial cultivation, making it almost impossible to break through to the Innate Realm. I can’t go back on my word and let him lose his chance to break through, can I?" Chen Zhixian spoke anxiously. "How foolish! Do you know who he saved? The favor was personally promised by Immortal Master Fan. We must complete it beautifully, or who would bear the responsibility if questioned? Admittedly, the Innate Pill belongs to our Chen Clan, but just one Innate Pill in exchange for a favor from Immortal Master Fan—how many Immortal Cultivation Clans would rush to offer it? How could an old man who barely reached the peak of First-class Expert at an advanced age compare?" Chen Xianzhong said, casting a glance at Chen Zhixian, but ultimately did not want to offend him too much, adding, "At least within the Chen Clan, that Innate Pill must be handed over to Young Master Bai. Once he leaves the Chen Clan, no one will care. I recall he’s only at the level of a Second-class Expert, still quite far from cultivating to the peak of a First-class Expert and using the Innate Pill to break through to the Innate Realm." Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixian’s body trembled, a gleam appeared in his eyes, and he said, "I understand, thank you for the reminder, Third Uncle." "I know nothing about this. Furthermore, not a single word of this must leak out. Once Immortal Master Fan gets wind of it, no one can bear the consequences!" Chen Xianzhong shook his head and said. "I understand, uncle." Chen Zhixian nodded, then immediately stood up and left eagerly.
