In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
On this day, the sky was bright and thousands of people of all ages, young and old, and couples with their families gathered from all directions on the shores of Longli Lake and in front of Yanyue Island.
When the sun was at its zenith, all the Zhao clan members, numbering more than 10,000 people, had arrived, forming a huge sea of people.
The Broken Star Sea is an unknown area thousands of miles away, and the future there is uncertain, so the faces of the Zhao family members are full of sadness and sorrow, and crying sounds can be heard from the crowd from time to time.
Different from the worries and depression of ordinary relatives, Zhao Jingang and Zhao Keqin from the second house are full of confidence. They are all eager to try and dream of making great plans and starting a career in the Broken Star Sea.
The first branch of the Zhao family, led by Zhao Jinjian, also came here to see off the people from the second branch.
As we are about to part, we will go our separate ways.
As if naturally, the conflicts and contradictions that had accumulated between the two families for hundreds of years suddenly disappeared at the moment of parting.
Some are left with only the kinship that runs in their bones among the same blood.
Just when the two branches of the Zhao family were reconciled and their grudges were forgotten, Zhao Jinpeng felt as if he had lost his parents.
He surrounded Zhao Jinjian, pleading with a mournful look on his face: "Cousin, you are my biological cousin! Please ask Chonghe for mercy. Please don't send me to the Broken Star Sea. I want to go to Southern Xinjiang with you!"
"Cousin, as long as you open your mouth, Zhao Chonghe will never dare to disobey you. Our fathers are brothers, you can't just ignore me! He's taking revenge on his own behalf, so why don't you say something!"
Zhao Jinjian was annoyed by his yelling and said in a bad tone: "Didn't you always say you wanted to go to Shattered Star Sea? Now that I've taken advantage of your wish, you want to go back on your word! There's no such thing as that in the world.
"And the head of the family has already discussed this with me. The two branches of the Zhao family are closely connected, and the eldest branch can't leave without someone to go to the Broken Star Sea. Besides, didn't the second branch also send a member to Southern Xinjiang? You have to understand the difficulties of the family."
"But. But!" Zhao Jinpeng hesitated.
"But what! You are at least in the late stage of Qi Refining. The Second Branch is weak and it will be difficult for it to gain a foothold in the Broken Star Sea. If you go there, it will be a great help!"
"But I am old and weak, and my strength is not as good as before." Zhao Jinpeng thought for a long time and finally found a reason.
"Hmph! You just took a concubine half a month ago! I see you are very vigorous and energetic!" Zhao Jinjian pointed out directly.
Just as the two brothers were arguing, a cloud boat flew slowly but quickly from the horizon to the shore of Longli Lake.
After a moment, Yue Yunzhou landed silently on the ground.
Its hull, as huge as a mountain, makes the people below look as tiny as ants.
I have to say that the Ziyang Sect, no, the Tianyang Sword Sect is incredibly powerful.
The Haoran Sect only had ten Yue Yunzhou boats in total. The Tianyang Sword Sect actually paid a huge price to rent one in order to relocate its population to the Shattered Star Sea.
Zhao Sheng was secretly shocked. The rental fee for this trip alone would probably start at at least one million spirit stones.
Soon, a wooden passage ten feet wide emerged from the deck of the Yue Yun boat, extending more than three hundred feet away, and finally slanted down to the ground.
Because the necessary preparations had already been made, Zhao Sheng did not need to bother giving orders. The 10,000 members of the Zhao family began to board the ship slowly in order.
Zhao Jinpeng was also restrained and forcibly sent up
At this time, Chen Zichuan suddenly flew down from the cloud boat and landed in front of Zhao Sheng.
"Senior Chen, what advice do you have?" Zhao Sheng said with a smile.
Chen Zichuan's expression was calm as he said in a deep voice, "Master Yue is asking you, when are you going to the Ziyang Sect?"
Zhao Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and he put away his smile. He thought for a long time, but in the end he did not give a deadline.
Half an hour later, Ban Yue Yunzhou slowly left the ground and rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, it shrank into a black dot and finally disappeared into the distant sky.
"Let's go! It's our turn to leave now."
Zhao Sheng turned around and greeted Zhao Jinding, Zhao Jinjian and others who had different expressions, then took the lead and walked towards Tongxin Hall.
The Zhao family is not as wealthy as the Tianyang Sword Sect.
Among the remaining 40,000 people of the Zhao family, there were more than 3,000 direct relatives within five generations of the first branch.
How to safely relocate these 3,000 close relatives to Taiwu Mountain in southern Xinjiang became the biggest problem facing the eldest branch of the Zhao family.
Inspired by the Tianyang Sword Sect, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Jinjian, and Zhao Jinding, after several discussions, made up their minds to take out most of the spirit stones they obtained from selling their property and rented a Tianpeng-class cloud boat from the Haoran Sect.
The rental expense alone exceeded 100,000 spirit stones.
In other words, the Zhao family had been well-managed for three hundred years, and their family fortune was still quite substantial, so they were able to barely pay the fee.
No unnecessary words will be said.
Two months later, Yanyue Island Tongxin Hall
Zhao Sheng and others paid homage to their ancestors, put the tablets of Zhao's ancestors into the storage bag, and then boarded the Tianpeng Cloud Boat docked on Yanyue Island.
After a while, a huge silver-white boat over a hundred feet long and ten feet high roared across the sky and rushed towards the south.
…
Time flies! In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.
There is an unnamed small building halfway up Taiwu Mountain.
In the quiet room, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, holding a fist-sized blue crystal in each hand.
Against the dim background, the dark blue crystal emitted strands of blue light, which was then sucked into Zhao Sheng's body bit by bit and finally merged into the qi sea in his dantian.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard two slight clicking sounds.
The dark blue crystal in Zhao Sheng's hand suddenly shattered into a pile of crystals.
After a few breaths, Zhao Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly a flash of blue appeared in his pupils.
After stopping his practice, Zhao Sheng suddenly couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
The Colorful Water Stone is indeed a mid-grade spiritual stone, and its effect exceeded his expectations.
With just two of them, he successfully reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Walking out of the quiet room, Zhao Sheng slowly crossed the courtyard in front of the small building.
As you walk out of the courtyard, the first thing that catches your eye is a deep and quiet blue lake not far away.
At this time, the gurgling stream meanders down the mountain and flows into the blue lake.
The overflowing spring water flows through the mountains along a stone channel and finally flows into the Jade Water at the foot of the mountain.
Yushui is a small river three meters wide. It flows down from the northwest mountains, circles Taiwu Mountain and forms three bends, and finally flows to the Biluo River a hundred miles away.
Zhao Sheng walked to the edge of the mountainside and overlooked the scenery below.
From afar, you can see the winding Jade River at the foot of the mountain, dividing the plain valley at the foot of Taiwu Mountain into two areas, large and small.
The land on one side of the mountain is flat and neatly divided into a hundred acres of spiritual fields, which are filled with spiritual grains, golden stamens, tricolor flowers, spiritual ginseng and other spiritual food and medicinal herbs.
On the side close to Taiwu Mountain, the scenery is green from the foot of the mountain to the top. Lush peach forests cover the mountains, and the bushes are dotted with pale red, pink, and lavender peach blossoms.
A gentle breeze blew through the mountains, and wisps of rich floral fragrance drifted in with the wind, continuously pouring into Zhao Sheng's nose. For a moment, he felt relaxed and happy.
There is poetry to prove it:
The beautiful flowers of April are gone, and the peach blossoms in Taiwu are in full bloom.
I long to find the spiritual realm, and I don't know how to enter it.
