Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

"It seems to be a little different here than before."

Hu Chong stepped onto the Earth Fire Peak again, looking at the familiar scene in front of him and feeling emotional.

Today, he looks slightly older, with a few strands of white hair on his temples.

There was a smile on his lips.

"Maybe my mood is different."

Hu Chong shook his head and laughed.

In the past, when he came to Dihuo Peak, he had always been cautious and did not dare to do anything that was beyond the rules of propriety, so as not to offend Elder Zhou Yun and cause the Hu family to lose their protection.

Today is different from the past. The Hu family has given birth to the True Monarch of the Golden Core, and does not need the protection of others.

Hu Chong came to the top of the mountain and was about to touch the formation of Jingxin Juwai, but he saw a figure already standing in the center of the courtyard, standing with his hands behind his back.

At a glance, the figure seems to be standing in the center of the world, and everything around it surrenders to it.

The clouds in the sky, the mountains at your feet, the spiritual energy in the air, and even some kind of power in the dark are all like this.

"this……"

Hu Chong looked stunned and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

But when he opened his eyes again, all the previous abnormalities had disappeared.

The figure had also turned around and looked at Hu Chong.

"Meet Elder Zhou."

Hu Chong's expression became serious and he quickly bowed.

Although the Hu family gave birth to the True Monarch Jin Dan, he would no longer need the protection of ‘Zhou Yun’ in the future.

But after all, the other party is the veteran Jin Dan Zhenjun, and he is on good terms with big figures such as Mo Youshu and Zuiyue Taoist, so he still needs to have the respect he deserves.

"Hu Chong, what's the matter with you?"

Chu Chen lowered his eyes and asked.

"Replying to Elder Zhou, the uncle from the subordinate clan successfully formed the elixir and invited the elder to attend the golden elixir ceremony three days later."

Hu Chong replied.

"I see, Taoist Hu Changru will definitely be present at the Golden Elixir Ceremony."

Chu Chen smiled and nodded.

The Hu family has been looking for elixir-forming spiritual objects for these years, just to cultivate a golden elixir true king.

Not long ago, the Hu family found an elixir-forming spiritual object, and immediately gathered all resources for the strongest member of the Hu family, Hu Changru, to practice, so that Hu Changru could successfully break through.

All parties in Qingyun Tower are not optimistic about Hu Changru. Hu Changru is old and his energy is reaching its peak. Normally, the chance of breakthrough is far less than that of other monks of the Hu family who are at the peak of foundation building.

However, the Hu family firmly supported Hu Changru. Fortunately, Hu Changru did not disappoint the Hu family and succeeded in forming a pill.

The elixir reaches the eighth level.

The quality of the finished elixir is not high, and there is no hope for the Nascent Soul in the future.

But for the Hu family, as long as a golden elixir true king is born, it is a blessing from heaven.

"What, is there anything else?"

Chu Chen saw that Hu Chong had not left, but stood there with a troubled expression, as if he wanted to say something.

"Elder, I feel that I am getting older and my energy is not as good as before. I may no longer be qualified for the position of steward of Earth Fire Peak."

Hu Chong took a deep breath and said.

"No problem."

Chu Chen smiled and agreed to Hu Chong's request.

He was very aware of Hu Chong's thoughts.

It was simply because the Hu family had the True Lord of the Golden Pill in charge, and he no longer had to stay in the Earth Fire Peak to be a lowly person.

Human nature.

"There are a few smart and capable juniors in our clan who may be able to take over the post of stewards of Earth Fire Peak and serve the elders..."

Before Hu Chong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Chen.

"No."

Chu Chen waved his hand casually and refused.

Previously, he promised to protect the Hu family for two reasons.

On the one hand, it was because he was new to Qingyun Tower and needed help to help him inquire about information and collect resources.

On the other hand, it was because the Hu family sent news about Yun Chan Ling Lu.

As his cultivation level improved, the role of the Hu family became smaller and smaller, and his ability to inquire about information and collect resources was far inferior to that of the puppet incarnation.

If Hu Chong didn't speak, Chu Chen would keep his promise and protect the Hu family for a hundred years.

But now that Hu Chong has resigned from his position as manager of Dihuo Peak, his meaning is obvious. The Hu family no longer needs Chu Chen's protection.

As for the younger generation Hu Chong mentioned, although Earth Fire Peak is not an important place in Qingyun Tower, it is not the place where cats and dogs can come to take charge of the local Fire Peak.

"Yes, elder."

Hu Chong sighed lightly, his expression a little complicated.

He suddenly felt that his move was not an appropriate decision.

But now it's too late to regret.

Hu Chong bowed his hands and turned to leave Earth Fire Peak.

"It is indeed feasible to turn the Earth Fire Peak into a pseudo-cave for poor Taoists."

Chu Chen withdrew his gaze, his eyes flickering.

Compared with the Hu family, he cares more about his own cultivation.

When he was comprehending the magical power of Hutian, he had a sudden idea to combine the magical power of Hutian with his own domain. After some experiments, he found that it was extremely feasible.

By using his own domain and combining it with Hu Tian's magical power, Chu Chen's control over the domain instantly increased to a higher level, and he was able to receive some blessings from heaven and earth within the domain's coverage.

But this kind of blessing is not as good as the blessing of the cave world, it is better than nothing.

Chu Chen immediately changed his mind and used his own domain and Hu Tian's magical power to transform Earth Fire Peak.

Because the laws of Tianhuang Continent are perfect and the strength of the space barriers far exceeds that of ordinary secret worlds and newly opened small worlds, it is extremely difficult to turn even part of Tianhuang Continent into a cave world.

At least, with Chu Chen's current strength, he couldn't do this.

He could only use his own domain to carve the marks of Hutian's magical power everywhere on the Earth Fire Peak, thus forming a false cave.

It may not be as good as the real cave world, and it cannot move, but the blessing he can get is far greater than the ordinary cave world.

When Jianmu Space turns into a cave world, Chu Chen will be able to get double blessing in the Earth Fire Peak.

"However, we still have to act cautiously."

Chu Chen recalled the scene just now, his eyes fixed.

In order to verify whether his idea is feasible, he just tested it in the courtyard of Jingxin Residence.

Hu Chong happened to come to Jingxin Residence and noticed something unusual.

Fortunately, Chu Chen cast a spell to disintegrate the mark of Hutian Divine Power, so he concealed it.

Hu Chong, a peak foundation cultivator, can see the clues. If Qingxiao Tianjun and other Yuanying cultivators come in person, they may see more details, which may expose his strength, or even Hutian Divine Power.

"After participating in Hu Changru's Golden Elixir Ceremony, he announced that he would be in seclusion, and covered with the Water Shadow Cloud Mist Array, and wait until Jingxin Residence is completely transformed into a pseudo-cave world, and then come out of seclusion."

Chu Chen's heart moved.

Only when Jingxin Residence is completely transformed into a pseudo-cave world, he can be sure to hide it from Yuanying cultivators.

As for turning the entire Earth Fire Peak into a pseudo cave heaven, he would wait until his cultivation level was higher.

…

Three days passed in a flash.

Hu Changru's Golden Core Ceremony was held in Jingyang Mountain, the Hu family's land, not far from the Qingyun Mountains.

Including Chu Chen, there were five Golden Core Elders from Qingyun Tower attending.

"No wonder the Hu family doesn't care about me."

Chu Chen glanced at the many Golden Core Elders and smiled faintly.

Hu Changru himself successfully formed a core, and with these friendly Golden Core True Lords, the Hu family's status can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. It is reasonable that they no longer flatter him as before.

After all.

'Zhou Yun' is just a neutral turtle elder who is devoted to hard practice. He will not help the Hu family in the future.

Hu Chong, on the other hand, is willing to maintain his relationship with him and bring several younger generations of the clan to meet Chu Chen.

What a pity.

The expressions of these younger generations of the Hu family are obviously reluctant, and they are more willing to meet other Golden Core True Lords.

In desperation, Hu Chong could only give up.
