Chapter 66 Ah Chen's Visit to Relatives (Part 1)

The next second, his father's voice came through the communication talisman: "Son, you've hurt your father's feelings too much. When you're communicating, don't you even bother to greet your father?"

Ah Chen pursed her lips. She knew this man would be so petty. They were all men; did he need to be so fussy and inquisitive?

Moreover, although he said he was sad, his tone was actually lighthearted.

Hmph! He thinks he doesn't know that he's actually been wanting to leave his unwanted son aside so he can enjoy some alone time with his mother.

Fortunately, his mother's voice rang out quickly: "My dear Chen, I'm so proud of you! I knew it, my Chen is the best!"

By the way, did you understand what your sister just said? It's normal if you didn't understand; no one can translate the language of the baby country.

I forgot to tell you, your sister is one month old today. It's not that we didn't want to tell you, it's just that your Uncle Bo came to Baiyang Town on the day I gave birth to your sister.

Everyone else has come over, so only you and Lele are left in the academy in Five Elements City.

After Xi'er was born, they all felt that our Holy Witch Clan's territory was more comfortable to live in, as it was spacious, had better air quality, and was more lively.

So none of them wanted to go back to Five Elements City, so they stayed here for the time being…

There was probably a lot more to say, but the transmission talisman couldn't hold it all, so the feather fan had to be infused with spiritual power to activate it and return it to its son's hands.

Hearing that everyone had left Five Elements City and reunited with their mother, Ah Chen felt somewhat lost.

But then she thought that since everyone could stay in the Holy Witch Clan's territory, it meant that her mother had gained the clan's approval, which was a good thing.

Because his mother had always longed for her people, he was genuinely happy for her that her wish had come true.

I wonder if Venerable Yusheng, the master of Yunxiao Palace, will give up and stop bothering his mother.

Thinking of this, he became a little worried, but these things were not something an eight-year-old child like him could handle.

The thing he wants to do most right now is to see his younger sister, Xi'er.

Baiyang Town is more than 500 li away from Wuxing City. This distance is most suitable for using a medium-range teleportation array.

Thinking of the teleportation array, he opened the journal of that senior Yan Kaige again.

That contains a very detailed record of the teleportation array he set up after his gift delivery with the Flying Crane Talisman was robbed.

He studied it carefully and found that this teleportation array was much more complex than the basic talismans. The advantage was that it was not high-level, and he was able to draw it with his current abilities.

Then he discovered that the teleportation array was composed of several basic talismans, which made him realize that it used up a lot of talisman paper.

Now that he has learned how to draw talismans in the air, he naturally wants to save as much effort as possible!

With the aim of saving resources, Achen began to guide the compressed, dense spiritual energy to draw runes within the flat space he constructed with his spiritual power.

As he was drawing, he suddenly grinned.

The reason why the combination of talismans could not be completed on a single sheet of paper was that the paper was not wide enough.

The reason why talisman paper cannot be made wide is not because the technology is not up to par, but because the paper is not flexible enough. If it is too wide, it cannot bear too much flow of runes.

However, the flat space he constructed did not have this problem, which is also recorded in the latter part of Yan Kai's song notes.

After he created his own talisman drawing technique, he also tried to combine talisman arrays in the void. However, by then he had already achieved his goal of winning the heart of a beautiful woman, and he completely gave up his research on talismans.

He then turned to practicing swordsmanship, which his partner admired most. With his intelligence and diligence, he later achieved great success in swordsmanship.

Ah Chen actually quite likes swordsmanship, but now that he's entered the talisman-making department, he naturally wants to master talisman-making first.

Moreover, he was still only at the Spirit Fusion Realm, and his physique was not tall enough, so it was inconvenient for him to hold and wield an ordinary sword.

So he decided to focus on the Dao of Talismans first.

When Master Chang made a special trip to visit him, he was surprised to find that he had mastered the art of drawing talismans in the air without any formal instruction. He specifically instructed him to keep this a secret.

The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Although the students recruited by their Ten Directions Academy are mostly geniuses, a genius among geniuses like him would either be kidnapped or eliminated if hostile forces found out about him.

In short, Professor Chang instructed him to keep a low profile, and even more so, in the future.

In order to meet his requirements, Achen would take leave every few days, which allowed him to bury himself in experimenting with the Void Rune Array at home.

Half a month later, Achen finally completed his first void rune array—a mid-range teleportation array.

Xiao Shi, who had been by his side the whole time, was so shocked that she was numb!

This brat isn't just an ordinary genius, he's a once-in-a-millennium prodigy!

"Senior Xiao Shi, I need to go to Baiyang Town to see my mother and sister. Would you like to go back to the Ten-Story Pagoda?"

Ah Chen now considers him almost family, so naturally he didn't forget to say goodbye before leaving.

"You brat, you want to leave me behind and go off to have some fun on your own?" Xiao Shi immediately glared at him.

“But didn’t you say that you made an agreement with Zhuang Xingfeng, the head of the Confucian Hall, that you would not leave the Shifang Academy for a hundred years?” Achen said.

"It's an agreement, not a prison sentence. I can go wherever I want, it's none of his business!" Xiao Shi said angrily.

“But you also said that you can’t leave the area within a hundred miles of the Ten-Story Pagoda, and Baiyang Town, which I’m going to, is more than five hundred miles away,” Achen said.

"Hehe, the inability to leave the hundred-mile range was in the past. Now I can touch the physical entity outside the ten-story tower, so the range has naturally expanded." Xiao Shi grinned mischievously.

"Huh? How far has it expanded to?" Ah Chen was happy for him, after all, no one would like to be confined to a small area.

"I haven't tried it, but it should be at least a thousand miles away, right?" Xiao Shi thought to himself with pride, but pretended to be nonchalant on the surface.

"That's great! What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Ah Chen said excitedly.

After activating the mid-range void teleportation array, in just over ten seconds, the person and the artifact spirit appeared outside the Holy Witch Clan's territory in Baiyang Town.

In fact, Ah Chen set up the teleportation array according to the spiritual energy mark left on his mother, but he did not expect that a defensive array was set up outside the Holy Witch Clan's territory, so he was blocked outside the fence.

This was the first time Ah Chen had ever seen such a scene. There were many uneven single-story houses and courtyards, with many people coming and going. It was lively, yet it seemed very harmonious.

They didn't look wealthy; some were even wearing roughly sewn animal skin clothes, but the smiles on their faces were genuine.

It is obvious at a glance that most of the people here are simple-minded, and there is no scheming or deceit between them.

No wonder my mother and her family members are willing to stay here.

"Hello, sir! My name is Achen. I've come to visit my mother, Yushan. Please announce my arrival." Achen bowed respectfully to the gatekeeper.

"Ah? You are the eldest son of the Feather Fan Saintess family? Hmm, you do look alike, you really do!"

I heard that you are studying in the city. It must have been very hard for you to get here.

"Come on, let me carry you over!" The middle-aged man, dressed in relatively neat animal skin clothes, bent down and picked him up before he could react, and strode away.

Achen: ...

"Uncle, I'm not tired, I can walk by myself, really!" Ah Chen struggled to say. Not only could he walk, he could also teleport.

"You're too thin! You're so light in my arms, like a leaf! You can't be picky about food in the future, the men of our Holy Witch Clan are all strong and robust."

With your small frame, no girl will ever want to marry you.

The older man clearly wasn't listening to him, talking to himself and striding forward on his own.

Achen: ...
