Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"Rise, there's no need for such grand courtesy."

Chu Zheng raised Fu Quanliang with a wave of his hand, letting out a long sigh:

"The current state of Taixuan is entirely my fault. How can I bear the title of Holy Master? Over the years, you have labored greatly for Taixuan."

The situation of Taixuan today is largely due to his own doing. Without him, at least Taixuan could have maintained its dignity as a Holy Land, rather than being pushed to its current, near-disbanded state by the Immortal Alliance.

Geng Yiyang handed this foundation to him in the beginning, but he never fulfilled his duties as Holy Master.

Initially, it was because Taixuan got pulled into his tribulation, which then led to Geng Yiyang's downfall.

Over the years, Fu Quanliang has poured a lot of heart blood into Taixuan, and Song Lingqing has also contributed significantly. Without the Song Clan's intervention, Taixuan would have perished long ago.

Along the way, he has been helped by many noble people, yet he has always been unable to repay their kindness, which he feels deeply ashamed of.

"Without Holy Master's help, I would have perished in Great Zhou long ago. What I've done now is merely my duty."

Fu Quanliang repeatedly shook his head:

"To me, Taixuan belongs to the Holy Master, not the Holy Master to Taixuan. Without the Holy Master, Taixuan's current state might be even worse."

Taixuan, having lost its fresh blood, is doomed to decline. The strongest of the new generation of disciples is only in the Soul Condensing Realm, far from having grown up.

At least now, borrowing the name of the Song Clan, the inheritance has been preserved.

Over the years, many disciples' cultivation expenses have also come from the resources left by Chu Zheng.

The merits and faults should be left for later generations to say. At least, now these Taixuan disciples are enjoying the blessings left by Chu Zheng.

"I can't stay long this time, at most two or three years. Taixuan's foundation is unstable now and should not be too ostentatious. I will leave some Immortal Treasures and a batch of Immortal Jade as the foundation. You know the gravity, so I trust you can properly arrange them."

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Zheng solemnly said:

"The Old Holy Master Geng is still around. When the war calms down, he will return to Cangyun to handle Taixuan's affairs. If the two of us do not return... you may act as Holy Master yourself, at least ensuring the continuation of Taixuan's legacy."

He wanted to rebuild Taixuan, but he didn't know how long he could stay in the Immortal Alliance, and he was uncertain about his final situation. Keeping Taixuan in its current state was undoubtedly a better choice.

The Immortal Alliance has already settled accounts once. If he were to make a big fuss now and help Taixuan regain its momentum, even if it achieves temporary glory, it would inevitably suffer because of him in the future.

The Shang Family and the Primordial Spirit Holy Land are the best examples.

"It is more dangerous outside for the Holy Master than in Cangyun, so don't worry about Taixuan."

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, Fu Quanliang's expression was not alarmed. He merely shook his head slowly and assured:

"The position of Holy Master, I am not worthy of. If the Holy Master encounters misfortune, I will find a suitable disciple to cultivate to ensure Taixuan's legacy remains intact."

Over the years, he has seen many storms, having nurtured a certain fortitude. From Chu Zheng's words, he could already hear some underlying meanings.

The external turbulence was evident from the fact that the Cangyun Realm now only has young cultivators, giving a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.

Even if Chu Zheng and Geng Yiyang truly encountered mishap, he would find a way to ensure Taixuan's continuity.

"That would be good."

Chu Zheng nodded, said no more, and opened his palm, a small flame dancing at his fingertips.

This was a fire seed he had extracted from his Fire Element Immortal Root, removing the fire poison within it. Its foundation was equivalent to a common Immortal Flame.

As long as the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture reached the Seventh Layer and cultivation reached the Tongxuan Realm, it could be refined.

With the profoundness of the Taixuan Divine Fire Scripture, refining this fire seed could grant cultivation qualities comparable to Superior Immortal Bone, making becoming a True Immortal quite probable.

"Keep this fire seed well. If your cultivation is sufficient, you can directly refine it. Otherwise, if there is a suitable disciple, you can pass it on."

"I will remember. Please rest assured, Holy Master."

Fu Quanliang bowed to accept the fire seed, solemnly saying, "The two Superior Immortal Bone holders from the Martial Hall, Fu Xin and Rong Yucun, are still in the sect, their cultivation having reached the late stage of the Soul Condensing Realm. Do you wish to see them, Holy Master?"

Chu Zheng thought for a moment, then slightly shook his head: "No need."

Although the current environment of Cangyun Realm is much better, it would still be hundreds of years before these two Superior Immortal Bone holders grow up. He was not in the mood to deal with these trivial matters now.

After that, Chu Zheng took out two low-grade Immortal Treasures and a storage ring containing a batch of Immortal Jade.

A long sword and a jade stele, one for offense and one for defense, plus the Immortal Jade, were sufficient in the current Cangyun Realm.

Later, he would set up a Mountain Protection Array, thinking it could protect Taixuan without worry.

Fu Quanliang left with the two Immortal Treasures. They were the foundation of Taixuan and needed careful placement.

Casting a glance at the empty hall, Chu Zheng turned and looked at a corner of the sect gate, sending out a message.

In just over ten breaths, a figure hurried over.

"…"

Looking at the figure standing in the hall, Song Lingqing opened her mouth slightly, hesitating for a moment. She did not know how to address Chu Zheng after more than twenty years of not seeing him.

After receiving the message, she came in a hurry, her aura still unsettled, spiritual power surging within her, making her breath short.

After a moment of silence, Chu Zheng spoke first: "How have you been lately?"

"So-so."

Song Lingqing had many things to say, but did not know where to start.

She wanted to ask about Chu Zheng's adventures over the years, whether his cultivation went smoothly, if he encountered any dangers, and how her sister and father were doing in the Martial Hall. She often worried due to the long lack of news.

After her family and Chu Zheng left the realm one after another, she felt as if a part of her heart was empty, like a rootless drifting plant, resembling a wandering soul with no place to return.

She seemed to once again feel those days in the Phantom Spirit Sect when her Immortal Bone shattered, alone.

After a long silence, Chu Zheng spoke again:

"Do you want to change environments? I know of some greater realms better than Cangyun, and I can send you there."

The current Cangyun Realm, with its tumultuous heavenly fate, was no longer so suited for cultivators of the Immortal Path. However, during his travels, Chu Zheng had learned of several famous greater realms, able to nurture Immortal Kings and even Immortal Monarchs.

There, Song Lingqing would obviously have better development.

At this moment, Chu Zheng had realized that Song Lingqing had probably had a tough time over the years.

At least he occasionally communicated with Song Lingxue, but Song Lingqing was truly alone.

Song Lingqing shook her head and pushed down the questions she wanted to ask. After deliberating for a moment, she asked:

"I once heard a True Immortal say that the living creatures of the Cangyun Realm cannot break the bloodline chains. Have you… found a way?"

"I haven't reached that point yet, but I have some clues."

Chu Zheng nodded, saying: "Rest assured, I will find a way."

Song Lingqing, upon realizing, subconsciously clenched her palm.

She did not mean that.
