The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chengliang State.

This is a small country.

The location is remote, the resources are poor, and the population is not large.

In Chengliang, there is no sect of cultivating immortals.

There are only three weak cultivating families taking root here.

They are, respectively, the Chen family, the Li family and the Xu family.

It is different from other places where cultivating families fight openly and secretly.

These three cultivating families get along very harmoniously.

The three parties support each other and resist foreign enemies together.

Even to get closer to each other.

The three families often marry each other.

Today is the day when the eldest son of the Xu family marries the eldest daughter of the Li family.

This marriage is extremely important.

The two families also pay special attention to it.

However, they did not invite anyone outside the three major families to participate.

The wedding was grand.

The eldest son of the Xu family was a man of talent and handsome features. He was dressed in a red robe and stood at the door to greet the guests.

The wedding went smoothly.

When the wedding was over, the guests dispersed one after another.

The two newlyweds who were supposed to be the bride and groom were now walking towards a hill, led by a group of old people.

This is a custom among the three major families.

As long as a couple gets married, they can be taken to a secret place.

That secret place is a secret jointly guarded by the three major families.

This is also the reason why they live in such a barren place.

There are two spiritual pools in the secret place.

After the newborns in the three major families are found to have spiritual roots, they will be sent to a secret place and soaked in a spiritual pool.

It is said that this will allow children to better absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The other spiritual pool is for the two newcomers.

The function is also to better absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The patriarch of the Xu family is called Xu Wannian. He is already over 180 years old this year due to his cultivation in the early stages of foundation building. He is also the person with the highest cultivation level in the Xu family.

The patriarch of the Li family is called Li Hebei. He is also in the early stage of foundation building, but he is younger than Xu Wannian.

He is only one hundred and forty years old this year, and he is also the person with the highest cultivation level in the Li family.

The patriarch of the Chen family is called Chen Yongfeng. He is in the middle stage of foundation building and is also the youngest. He is only a hundred years old now.

The two newcomers followed the three elders to the secret place.

Xu Wannian and the others skillfully opened the restriction of the secret place and led the two of them to a stone door.

Without saying a word, the three of them took out a key at the same time.

After being merged together, they were inserted into the keyhole.

With a slight twist, the stone door was opened.

"You two, go in, remember you can only stay one night." After the stone door opened, Xu Wanchang said in a low voice to the two newcomers beside him.

They had already told the two newcomers what they needed to do to enter.

After hearing this, the eldest lady of the Li family also had a blush on her face.

He lowered his head shyly.

She knew that after entering inside, the two of them needed to be honest with each other and practice a dual cultivation method together.

The eldest son of the Xu family was not too shy. After bowing to the three seniors, he took the bride's hand and walked inside.

As the stone door closed again.

The three old men outside also took out their chairs and sat down.

The secret place is the foundation of their three major families.

Even if new people enter, as clan leaders, they still have to wait outside.

This has been the rule for so many years and no one is going to break it.

"I heard that a mineral vein was discovered at the border of Bailing Kingdom some time ago." Li Hebei said after sitting down and looking at the two people beside him.

"Yes, I have also heard about this. It seems that the mine is quite good." Xu Wannian nodded.

"I have sent people to investigate, and the mineral vein has been occupied by the Bailing Sect." Chen Yongfeng shook his head slightly and said.

"In the past hundred years or so, the Bailing Sect's power has grown too fast. Everything of value found nearby has been taken over by them. This makes it difficult for small families like us to survive." Xu Wannian sighed and shook his head.

"There is nothing that can be done about it. Who told them to get a precious disciple and successfully condense the Nascent Soul?" Li Hebei said with a bitter smile.

"Yes, according to the development speed of Bailing Sect, I'm afraid it won't be long before even our place will be annexed." Chen Yongfeng said softly.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Wannian and Li Hebei's expressions suddenly changed, and they both looked at Chen Yongfeng.

"Yongfeng, is there any basis for this?" Xu Wannian asked nervously.

"There is no basis for this. This is just my guess. Maybe Bailing Sect doesn't like us at all."

Perhaps because he was afraid that the two of them would be too worried, Chen Yongfeng changed his tone and began to comfort them.

But the two people opposite him were also old people who had lived for more than a hundred years.

How could it be possible to be convinced so easily.

"Chen Yongfeng, among our three major families, you are the only one who still has a chance to attack the core formation. If you have something to say, just say it directly." Li Hebei pondered for a moment and then said.

"I..."

Chen Yongfeng was about to speak when he saw the closed stone door opened from the inside.

The moment the stone door was opened, another blue light shot out from inside.

When the three of them saw this, their expressions changed drastically and they hurriedly stood up from their chairs.
