finally started attempting to break into the Foundation Establishment Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was not surprising—she failed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mindset, however, was quite positive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never really aspired to Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Chen Sheng constantly pushing her, she would have given up long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she failed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Wangyou lay on the bed, instead showing a sly smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At last, I don’t have to cultivate every day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng chuckled gently, holding her hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll listen to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time fleeted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another cycle of seasons passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flowering period of the old peach tree in the courtyard seemed slightly shorter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The withering pink petals also carried a hint of irretrievable twilight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Yueyang also arrived at the brink of his life’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This autumn’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay on the bed, breathing his last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He passed at the age of ninety-eight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left this world with serenity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final days of his life, his beloved apprentice-grandchild ’Qin Yuan’ stayed by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yuan even demonstrated his mastery of the Fire Control Skill in front of him, showcasing his ability with thousands of fire threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This achievement completely surpassed those before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old master laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his deathbed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Yueyang handed a Jade Scroll to Chen Sheng, containing all his years of research on incomplete formulas:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pass it down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng looked saddened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father-in-law, rest assured, I will definitely pass these things down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mourning hall was set up in the front hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White banners hung low, smoke swirling around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Wangyou knelt before the spirit, weeping silently, her tears soaking through her plain clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother died young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father raised her single-handedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she was without a father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng stayed by her side, gently holding her and comforting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blow was quite significant for Huang Wangyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took two months to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slipped away quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Huang Yueyang’s passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng began to take over the cultivation of the younger generation at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Martial Arts Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch closely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng flicked his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fire serpent over a yard long suddenly shot out, its scales shimmering with a lava-like crimson glow under the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever it passed, the air twisted with heat, and the ground’s blue bricks instantly cracked in a spiderweb pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire serpent emitted a deafening hiss, crashing onto the Profound Iron statue ten yards away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a blinding firelight burst out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several young ones immediately gasped in awe, clapping their hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather is amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he had captured the attention of these little ones, Chen Sheng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he begin explaining the most basic ’Fire-igniting Skill.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then asked them to give it a try!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather, I did it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Wenya shouted loudly, a flickering flame manifesting at her fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng smiled gently, encouraging her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, keep it up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these little ones had Lower Grade Spiritual Roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their innate talents weren’t much different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in other aspects, the differences were like day and night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Chen Sheng silently noted the strengths of these little ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To teach according to their aptitude in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had learned this basic magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin Qi Cultivation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the appearance of his father-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng held the ruler, overseeing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few little ones immediately showed some unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, they also found it hard to sit still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for fear of the ruler in Chen Sheng’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only sit obediently on their cushions, beginning their Qi Cultivation practice for the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that’s it for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you return, practice the Fire-igniting Skill I taught you today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, Grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children’s voices echoed in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three more years passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still in the same yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once little ones had grown significantly taller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming sensible young boys and girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would cultivate on their own without Chen Sheng’s supervision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, dismissed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng led them through their basic cultivation practice for the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then headed towards the Fire Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Alchemy Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng was already seated on a cushion in the center of the Alchemy Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his breath, forming the Burning River Seal Technique with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana in his Dantian suddenly boiled, drawing in the surrounding fire aura, countless stray flames gradually gathering into two flickering balls of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like two fire serpents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They snaked into his nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire aura entered his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng introspected his insides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of the fire aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly opened meridians were expanding inch by inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a breath cycle,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>two pillars of flame burst forth from his nostrils, stretching out to half a yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he drew in the fire aura once more...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alternating like this, no one knew how much time had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng’s Dantian suddenly heated up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radiating a blinding red light from all over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless red Flood Dragon scales surfaced from beneath his skin, layer upon layer, covering his limbs and torso.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to become a humanoid Flood Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, brushing the searing scales on his arm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All eight meridians are open, the First Layer is finally a Great Success!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He painstakingly forged ahead, continuously opening new meridians, finally completing the Red Scale Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is only the First Layer, truly deserving of the Top Grade Daoist Skill, indeed challenging!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, as long as there’s progress, it’s good; what I don’t lack is time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, in the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng and his wife sipped tea and chatted leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Huang Wangyou spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By my count, Chen’Er’s letter should have arrived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it got delayed like the first time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow, I’ll ask at the Cyan Wood Commerce Association.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng tucked the Passage Jade Token of the Cyan Wood Commerce Association into his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rushing to the head office of the Commerce Association at the east end of the Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the vermilion-lacquered gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng just gave his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendant on duty greeted him with a beaming smile, leading him inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The title of High Grade Alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was indeed useful in the Market!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the corridor lined with green bamboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran into a steward:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why has Master Tang come in person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usually, you send someone to pick up the elixir orders, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>​Chen Sheng waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the trade map hanging on the wall, his fingertip landed on the red dot marking \"Thousand Machines Workshop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here to inquire if the caravan from Linglong Immortal City has been delayed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward paused, then shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it should have passed through here three days ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were like a pebble thrown into his heart’s lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng’s brow furrowed instantly, unease rising in his heart, many thoughts flashing across his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why was the letter not sent back this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng quickly walked to the back hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found Steward Li, responsible for trade route logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li was cradling a teacup, drowsing, but quickly stood up when he saw him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Tang, your arrival, excuse my lack of proper welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for formalities, Steward Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng pressed his hand, explaining the situation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could I trouble you to inquire a bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Li thumped his chest in agreement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Tang’s instructions, I dare not refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next month, a caravan is setting out for Linglong; I’ll have Old Zhou leading check it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any news will be sent to you immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sheng bowed in farewell:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you very much
