He looks very young, and the years have not left too many deep marks on his body. His eyes are extremely warm, like warm sunshine, shining through, making the world a little brighter.

"Hello, senior."

Ding Cheng felt a sense of tranquility in his heart, as if the other person standing there was a peaceful world of his own, and all the chaos and smoke from the outside world would dissipate.

"Master Ding Dan and I are both teachers and friends. Just treat me as an elder."

Mr. Chen revealed his true thoughts, showing that he was not a strong and unruly person, so he told the people of the Ding family not to be too restrained.

"Senior, since the death of our ancestor, the Ding family has declined, but we dare not use the legacy of our ancestors and have been self-reliant until today, when the situation has reached an irreversible point and we have finally asked for your help."

Ding Cheng is a tactful person. Chen Sheng can be casual, but he cannot. No matter how deep the human relationship is, it cannot withstand endless erosion.

He talked about the Ding family's extremely difficult situation, and how they really couldn't bear it any longer, so they had to shamelessly ask for help.

"What happened? Tell me the details."

Mr. Chen nodded. It was a prudent move for the Ding family to do this, not a shortcoming.

"It's like this..."

Ding Cheng explained the situation clearly, saying that their clan territory was almost invaded and the continuation of the family was cut off.

Then, he talked about the history of the Sun family's rise to power. It was not that the descendants of the Ding family were not ambitious, but that the other party had strong support and took an unusual path.

"Who is supporting the Sun family behind the scenes?"

Mr. Chen asked.

"Come to think of it, that person has some relationship with the senior."

Ding Cheng sighed a little. The person behind the Sun family was not a simple person. He had a very high status and was not someone who could be easily provoked.

"Um?"

Mr. Chen was puzzled. After Master Ding Dan left, the Ding family declined and cut off contact with him, so they should have no connection.

Could it be someone from Yaolu?

If that's the case, then he'll have to sort things out when he returns.

"The person who is backing the Sun family is none other than an elder from the outer sect of Guangxiu Xianzong, named Jun Chengxiu."

Ding Chengdao pointed out the problem. An outer sect elder of Guangxiu Xianzong could mobilize enormous power. Even if the entire Ding family was used up, it would still not be able to solve the dilemma.

"Jun Sung-soo, I don't know him..."

Mr. Chen thought for a moment, shook his head, and then said, "This isn't a difficult matter. Do you have any plans?"

With his current status as an elder of the outer sect of Guangxiu Xianzong, he can make arrangements at will.

The authority of the pinnacle Yaolu and the terrifying network of contacts accumulated by Baiyu Peak are gathered in him alone. The power that can be exerted therein is unquestionable.

"us……"

The top leaders of the Ding family were delighted. With this promise, the continuation of their clan would no longer be a problem.

Next, how to deal with the Sun family? This is a difficult point to control. If you do it lightly, you will feel unhappy. If you do it too hard, you will offend the person behind the Sun family, which will make Chen Sheng embarrassed.

"Don't worry."

Mr. Chen said calmly.

He has this ability. Some things are very difficult for the Ding family, but in his eyes, they are very easy.

"Blood debt must be repaid with blood. The people of my Ding family cannot die in vain."

Ding Cheng gritted his teeth and was determined to make the Sun family die completely. The relationship between the two families had become so rigid that it was irreconcilable, and there was no need to hold back.

"good!"

Chen Sheng's expression remained unchanged, still as calm as ever. Destroying a small immortal cultivation family was not a difficult task in itself.

In fact, the Ding family has a deeper foundation than the Sun family. After all, one is a legitimate immortal cultivation family that has continued for hundreds of years, while the other is a newly-minted family that grew by devouring others and has many drawbacks within it.

The reason for the current situation is that the Sun family's cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Realm has suppressed everything.

In addition, Jun Chengxiu provided some tools to improve the combat effectiveness of the Sun family monks.

As for tools and pills, Chen Sheng already had them on hand. They were first-level cultivation resources, so he was not stingy and gave a lot of them to the Ding family cultivators.

According to Ding Cheng, with these first-level magical weapons and first-level healing pills, they are enough to suppress the Sun family.

Next.

Ding Cheng was full of confidence and sent a visiting card, inviting the Sun family to fight to the death.

…

"Two days later, the soldiers will be hidden in the valley outside the city. A battle will determine the future of the family."

In Dingcheng, in a room of a luxurious compound, a middle-aged man with graying temples looked at the letter sent by the Ding family and fell into deep thought.

He is the head of the Sun family, named Sun Zaixing. The proudest thing he did in his life was giving a daughter of the family to a Taoist master as a concubine, in exchange for the family's path to immortality.

"What the hell is the Ding family doing?"

After thinking about it, Sun Zaixing couldn't understand why the Ding family, who had been badly defeated a few days ago, suddenly became so confident.

"They can't make any waves. Last time, they almost lost their territory to us. They didn't show any power. They are just desperate and want to make a last-ditch effort."

In the room, another arrogant young man was looking disdainful. The Ding family boasted so much about their hundreds of years of immortal cultivation heritage, but he still beat them and made them wail and cry.

This world will eventually give way to power.

He, Sun Changsheng, is the one who has the ability to decide the future of the two families.

"The Ding family still has some background."

Faced with the arrogant Sun Changsheng, Sun Zaixing felt helpless and it was useless to persuade him. A young man who had suddenly risen to power and had never experienced the cruelty of reality always thought that he would be the son of destiny and invincible.

Besides, Sun Changsheng's talent is really not bad. Being a 43-year-old cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Realm is already extremely remarkable.

It seems that building the foundation is within reach.

"They have a background, but it is in the field of alchemy. In the end... it will be a bargain for us."

Sun Changsheng is not stupid, he is just arrogant. He desires the Ding family's hundreds of years of inheritance and the knowledge of alchemy.

After swallowing it, they can directly pass through the accumulated time and continue to rush upward.

Devour.

plunder.

This is the Sun family's way.

Things like morality and etiquette are all false.

"Since they want to fight, there is no reason for us not to accept it. We just have to be careful and not fall into their trap."

Sun Zaixing was able to lead a family of mortals onto the path of cultivation, and his methods and calculations were indeed very sophisticated.

He saw that the Ding family was showing some ceremony, but with the current chips, he didn't see the possibility of the Ding family turning the tables, so he could only move forward firmly and at most be on guard.

"Don't worry. I am a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. I am capable of suppressing any unexpected event. If things really don't work out, we still have that person to hold us back."

Sun Changsheng didn't care. They were too calm. The elder of the Immortal Sect standing behind him was enough to suppress all voices.

"That person doesn't care about us at all. He just wants to extract cultivation resources from us."

Sun Zaixing warned.

"It's good enough to use each other."

Sun Changsheng sneered, not caring at all. In this world, people are not afraid of being used, but are afraid of not being worth using.

He must do his best to demonstrate his own value and gain the opportunity to build a foundation.

At that time, he and the Sun family were truly stable.

…

The decisive battle in Cangbing Valley has been decided by both families and will not be changed.

We just need to wait for some time to pass and then it will be clear who will win.

At this juncture, there was not much tension in the Ding family. The elders and core fighters in the family were very confident that they could win this war.

The reason is that Mr. Chen gave them some first-level magical weapons and fine elixirs.

With these resources available, if we were defeated again, we would have to die to atone for our sins.

Chen Sheng was not idle either. He agreed to the Ding family's request and repaired the family's alchemy books.

In a temple, he saw thousands of books, all of which recorded the knowledge of alchemy, which were very mixed and messy.

There are notes from casual people, incomplete insights from alchemists, and more importantly, the growth habits of spiritual herbs.

There is no unified way to manage the materials that carry text, including paper, jade slips, and iron scrolls.

"How could you be so careless with this family alchemy classic?"

Chen Sheng felt sad when he saw many damaged books on alchemy. Even though he could no longer use the things recorded in them, he still felt uncomfortable.

He always felt that knowledge should be respected and not treated casually.

"It's been hundreds of years. Some of it was accidentally damaged, and some of it was lost. It was compiled based on the oral narration of later generations. Only 60% to 70% of the content is left..."

Ding Xu was the young man in this generation of the family who practiced alchemy. Seeing Chen Sheng's distressed look and a tone of faint blame, he hurriedly began to explain.

After the baptism of time, not only objects, but also people, have lost their original appearance and gradually decayed and rotted.

Even when the old ancestor of Yaolu was alive, he was unable to repair these damaged books on alchemy.

These people were even more helpless and could only maintain the status quo and slow down the rate of destruction of the alchemy classics.

"It's not your fault."

Mr. Chen stopped talking. Hundreds of years was really not enough to be too harsh on him.

He randomly found a corner, picked up a torn book, and scanned it with his mental power. A large amount of content was reflected in his mind, and he immediately had a general idea.

Then, he thought for a dozen breaths, picked up the pen, and continued the incomplete part on the blank paper.

The whole process was not long, and was even quite fast, completing it in the time it takes to stick an incense stick.

“So fast.”

Ding Cheng came over quietly and saw Chen Sheng's repair speed. Even as an outsider, he felt it was exaggerated.

He came to Ding Xu and asked, "What do you think?"

If he didn't know Chen Sheng's background, he would have thought that the other party was fooling around. Completing an incomplete alchemy book is more difficult than re-editing an alchemy book.

Just understanding the author's thoughts and ideas is enough to give people a headache.

"Exquisite and incomparable, the reputation of a second-level alchemist is well-deserved."

Ding Xu saw the alchemy book completed by Chen Sheng and looked convinced. The overall idea was very consistent without any trace of patching.

"So strong?"

Ding Cheng is an outsider and really doesn't understand.

“That’s a height I can’t reach.”

Ding Xu nodded solemnly. There was no doubt about Chen Sheng’s knowledge. It was like a towering mountain, and he would never be able to climb to the top of it in his entire life.

Mr. Chen did not notice the conversation between Ding Cheng and Ding Xu. His mental state entered a level of searching.

Any damaged book that appears before him will be subjected to a "repair" attack, after which it will be reborn.

In a day and a night, Chen Sheng screened thousands of books on alchemy.

Among them, 31 books were severely damaged and 123 were slightly damaged, all of which were repaired by him.

"Senior, thank you for your hard work."

Ding Xu had been waiting by the side, looking at Chen Sheng with a very passionate look, as if he was facing a god, full of respect.

The accumulation of hundreds of years of a Dandao family was sorted, repaired and placed by Chen Sheng in just one short day.

Now, taking a look, the alchemy classics in the Sutra Repository are neatly arranged and easy to understand, which is really pleasing to the eye.

"For me, this repair of the alchemy classics is also a rare experience."

There was no trace of fatigue on Mr. Chen's face. On the contrary, his eyes were very bright, shining with wisdom.

Although what the Ding family has accumulated is only first-level knowledge, it is extensive and profound. He has gained a lot from reading it one by one.

Reviewing the old to learn the new and applying what one has learned to other situations are both ways of learning.

"I have some doubts about the way of alchemy, I wonder if I can ask the seniors for advice."

Ding Xu was determined to achieve success in the art of alchemy, but without guidance from seniors, practicing the art was very difficult.

At this moment, a second-level alchemist appeared in front of him, and he was very gentle in nature. He didn't want to miss it.

"Go ahead."

Mr. Chen felt deeply touched. It was so difficult for a young man like Ding Xu, who inherited the art of alchemy from his family, to practice it.

Back then, it was definitely a rare thing that Master Ding Dan was able to teach him sincerely.

He did not refuse. In fact, as long as he was at the Ding family, Ding Xu could come to him if he had any problems.

"The pharmacology between Green Bamboo Spiritual Leaves and Fu Jun Grass seems to conflict with each other, but many pill recipes always put the two together."

After getting the response, Ding Xu looked extremely happy. He barely suppressed his restless thoughts and spoke out the problem that had been bothering him for three or four days.

“It’s the way of pharmacology.”

Chen Sheng's thoughts drifted away. Ding Xu's confusion turned out to be about pharmacological knowledge, which was so superficial.

In this regard, Master Ding Dan was an absolute authority back then.

His descendants will have to be confused about this for a long time. It really shows how unpredictable the world is.

"Wrong?"

For three or four breaths, there was silence.

Ding Xu's heart instantly rose to his feet, with a look of uneasiness in his eyes. He kept thinking about the question just now, trying to find out what was wrong.

"I roughly know your level of alchemy. You are still lacking a lot. I will write down the knowledge of pharmacology in a booklet and give it to you directly in a few days."

Mr. Chen came back to his senses and expressed his thoughts. The first half of his sentence made Ding Xu feel disappointed, but the second half made him excited.

This senior who had an old acquaintance with the ancestor was so friendly that he actually helped him build the basics because his level was too poor.
