Chapter Seven: Golden Elixir

  The endless fields flashed by me like lightning, a vast lake appeared in front of me. Facing all this, my speed remained so fast, without slowing down at all. I rushed towards the calm lake with no hesitation.

  Why, why, is it worth making the people in the Zhang family suffer from each other just to inherit the family business and maintain the family's reputation? I don't know, all I know is that if one can't live happily, what's the point of having a fleeting family glory? Is it that everyone else is drunk while I'm the only one awake, or am I being too naive? I don't know, all I know is that I won't be like my father, I won't hurt my own family members for the sake of an empty family reputation. I believe I will definitely live happily with my own family and won't abandon my own son, kick him out of the house.

  I was in a daze, when suddenly my foot slipped and I found myself underwater. My mind still reeling from the news that my father had just announced he would be kicking me out of the house, the endless lake water rushed towards me. My body naturally formed a protective membrane around itself, and my breathing transformed into innate embryonic respiration. All of this happened without any thought or deliberation - it was simply an instinctual response of a top-notch expert.

  I clearly feel that as I sink deeper into the water, the pressure of the lake on my body is getting stronger and stronger.

  I suddenly felt my feet touching the soft mud at the bottom of the lake, I knew that everything around me had no effect on me, I was still immersed in the past concern of my father for myself, naturally a little happy in my heart, as soon as I remembered today's things, I immediately went back to remembering past things, am I escaping all this?

  Time flies

  At this time, the Zhang family was in a state of oppression and chaos. It had been nearly thirty years since the last young master of the Zhang family left home. This poor guy, who was once the young master of the Zhang family, left home at the age of thirteen. At eighteen, he went bankrupt after being robbed while doing business and ended his own life as a result. After his death, there was no one to take care of his funeral arrangements. Later, it was his older brother, the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Tiande, who secretly arranged for someone to handle the funeral.

  This young master was driven out of the house because he had attempted to assassinate the eldest son, Zhang Tiande, at the time. Almost all of the young masters who were driven out of the house were those who failed in their attempts to seize power, except for one guy who raped a Miss Li from the Li family, the number one family in the world. He was driven out of the house for the benefit of the family and later suffered from the Li family's secret persecution, leading a life of poverty and desperation.

  And this third young master was only six years old, but because of his unintentional injury to the only son of the Ouyang family, he had already reached the Xiantian realm at the age of six. People believed that this third young master would become the number one master in the world in the future. However, the Ouyang and Zhang families had cooperated in many aspects, if the Ouyang family were to fall out with them, it would take the Zhang family at least twenty years to recover their business network. It was wise for the sake of the family's interests to abandon this six-year-old third young master.

  The back hall of Zhang's residence was quiet, with one person sitting on a taishi chair and another standing beside him. Suddenly, a voice rang out.

  "Master, Third Young Master has not returned yet, can this trial proceed? Without Third Young Master present, it's not good to hold the trial!" Zhang Gongguan stood beside Zhang Tiande, who was sitting in a taishi chair, and spoke cautiously. He knew that the current master of the house was not an ordinary one, and his mood was extremely bad. From yesterday to now, he hadn't eaten a single meal, and had been sitting in this taishi chair all along. Zhang Gongguan had watched Zhang Tiande grow up and understood everything about him clearly. This master loved Third Madame the most and also doted on Third Young Master the most. Third Young Master had shown extraordinary talent since childhood, and was extremely obsessed with martial arts. Only yesterday did they find out that Third Young Master had already reached the Xiantian realm! According to those two second-grade masters of the Zhang Manor, Third Young Master's lightness skill was even more formidable than theirs. Although this was shocking, it also meant that Third Young Master could not be found, so how could this trial proceed?

  "In a little while, don't be impatient, be quiet. There is still an hour before the trial." Zhang Tiande's low voice sounded in the back hall. The entire back hall returned to that silence again.

  Slowly, slowly, more and more people came, the five walking in front were the most powerful elders of the Zhang family, the elder council only intervened in very important matters. The one on the left was the former head of the household, the three on the right were Zhang Tiande's second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and Zhang Tiande's third brother. Actually, this last elder seat should have been Zhang Tiande's second brother, unfortunately his second brother was driven out of the house, and the third one became an elder by luck.

  Behind them were the wives of Zhang Tian De, except for the third wife. Behind the wives were the brothers of the three young masters, four young masters of the Zhang family, the youngest being only two years old, but could only be led by hand by the eldest young master. On such an important occasion, only the steward of the estate was allowed to attend, and other servants were not allowed to enter. Moreover, each person's seat was also fixed, forming three batches of people entering the main hall.

  "Today, the Zhang family is holding a courtyard meeting to discuss and decide on the issue of Third Master Zhang Xingfeng. However, since he left home yesterday until now, there has been no sign of him, and the people in the mansion have not yet discovered his whereabouts. I ask you, how should we handle this?" Zhang Tiande sat upright in the taishi chair, a sense of majesty naturally filling the entire hall.

  "The two madams said: 'Do we have to wait for this child forever? If he never comes back, do we have to keep waiting and not hold the trial? I think whether he comes or not, as long as we make a decision and announce it to the world, that's enough!' After finishing speaking, she looked around and seemed to only get agreement from the big madam, while everyone else showed no support and sat down uninterestedly."

  Zhang Tiande's third brother and fifth elder stood up and said: "The ancestral family law cannot be violated, according to the family law, we should wait for Zhang Xingfeng to return before deciding everything. If he doesn't come back, wait until a week has passed, if he still hasn't returned, then make a decision directly and announce it to the world." The elder was after all an elder, and after finishing speaking, no one opposed him. In fact, once the family law is brought out, how many people dare say anything in opposition?

  "It's settled then. Let's wait for a week, and if he still hasn't returned after a week, we'll proceed with the trial and make an announcement to the world." Zhang Tiande stood up and spoke out the decision.

  "Tian De, must you drive Xiao San away from home? Must you be so heartless? Can't you consider our relationship as husband and wife and not drive Xiao San away? He's only six years old this year, Tian De!" The third madam, who had just woken up from her coma, rushed to the front of the hall and shouted.

  "Alas!" Zhang Tiande walked out of the door without looking back.

  "Tian De" Madame looked at her husband who was walking away from her face, finally gave up hope. Slowly sat on the ground, muttering to herself: Little Three

  The five elders looked at the haggard Third Madam, shook their heads and left with several other elders.

  The first wife and second wife looked at the third wife with a hint of a sinister smile, then proudly walked out of the gate.

  I don't know how long it took, but at this moment I clearly felt that I was about to cross the first hurdle in my cultivation of the Golden Elixir.

  I cast aside all distracting thoughts, and my mind is a clear and empty field. I clearly observe everything within my body.

  The liquid prenatal true energy began to circulate at an unprecedented speed, tirelessly, and the spiritual energy outside my body quickly entered my body. However, the most important thing was still the liquid prenatal true energy that I had accumulated over time. "With the elixir field as the furnace, the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy as fire, the prenatal true energy as material, refining and compressing, tempering endlessly, attaining the heavens and earth." The incantation of the Heart Classic immediately appeared in my mind. I began the most crucial Golden Elixir cultivation, and once I entered the Golden Elixir stage, I would be a true cultivator. All my spirit was devoted to the Golden Elixir's cultivation.

  Suddenly, my whole body shook, and a golden elixir the size of a soybean floated in my dantian. A kind of power that surged from every cell in my body seemed to be about to burst into the sky.

  "Ah!" I let out a loud roar. A purple light flashed, like a meteor shooting up into the sky, piercing through the clouds. In an instant, the wind and thunder raged, dark clouds churned like a dragon, and the Taihu Lake in front of me immediately became turbulent with waves surging towards the sky.

  I know I've finally entered the Golden Elixir stage, I'm a true cultivator now, I've transcended the six paths of reincarnation and achieved immortality. But I've also embarked on a perilous path of cultivation, where one misstep could lead to my soul dispersing. However, I, Zhang Xingfeng, would rather defy the heavens and earth than live an ordinary life. I want to let the world know that even after leaving the Zhang family, I will still achieve greatness.

  As I moved my body, the person was already on the shore. Looking at Taihu Lake, which was just angry, has begun to calm down gradually, a thread of moonlight passes through the dark clouds and sprinkles on the vast fields, my heart, slowly calms down.

  I still want to go back, although I know that the trial for my courtyard should have ended. In my previous life, I went through this golden elixir stage and spent a whole month there. This life, even though my life force is particularly strong, it should take at least several days. For Wolf Fang big brother who is still in Xing Feng Pavilion and his mother, if I don't go back, how will they get by? And also for my sorrowful mother, when I left home, I didn't even consider my mother's feelings. During this time, I don't know what she's going through now.

  I can already fly with a sword at this moment, but I don't have my own flying sword yet. I can only retreat and use my light skill to hurry to the Zhang's residence.

  The Golden Elixir stage can start flying with a sword, and it can also produce the Samadhi True Fire. With the Samadhi True Fire, many things can be done, such as using the Samadhi True Fire to refine the flying sword, Ling War Armor, and other cultivators' own weapons. You can also use it to refine various spiritual elixirs. Reaching the Golden Elixir stage, you can also use the true yuan force, change your appearance and physique, of course, not too much, the Golden Elixir stage can only expand the body height by twice, reaching the Yuan Ying stage can be higher, the higher the boundary, the more severe the change. If you become an immortal, you can transform 72 times.
