C926 No Man's Land
could it really be Underworld Family!?
Lin Ruoxi, on the other hand, was a bit confused. Seeing the serious expression on Yang Chen's face, she did not ask any further questions. In any case, she didn't understand after hearing it, so she could just let Yang Chen explain.
Yang Chenze said, "Don't worry about it. Just say what you want to say."
Xiao Zhiqing was slightly afraid of Yang Chen's sudden seriousness, but she still nodded and began to narrate …
Ever since the war between the ancient Chinese cultivators and the God Clan, because Zeus was trapped in the great formation, Athena couldn't handle it all by herself. Furthermore, the gods were almost unable to reproduce their God Clan, causing the gods to fall.
At the same time, as the gods declined, the ancient cultivators either died or disappeared. Only a few had broken through the void.
However, those particularly powerful cultivators themselves had been inherited from the earlier generations, from the ancient immortals. Thus, their descendants were naturally stronger than most cultivators.
Following the departure of the powerful Tribulation Stage cultivators who were fighting the gods, their descendants formed their Ancient Families. Because in seclusion, they only sought the dao of immortality, with almost no ties to the secular world, thus becoming Underworld Family.
The vicissitudes of time, and not every clan could maintain its Underworld Family forever.
First, some relatively weak clans chose to return to the mortal world, disappearing from the world. Then, some clans that did not have any outstanding descendants were annexed by other great clans.
In the end, in the entire China, there were only three major Underworld Family, namely the Luo Family, Ning Family and Xiao Family.
These three families had survived ten thousand years of survival of the fittest and had slowly grown up. Not only did the ancient families possess a large number of cultivation methods from the ancient era, they also possessed a large number of treasures and pill s. Of course, because of these things, the families had many outstanding talents and even had many elders with unfathomable cultivation.
Relatively speaking, Hong Meng was just a rogue cultivator. Although some of the experts from the ancient martial arts sects had to surpass the three great families in numbers, they were far from being as elite as the three great families.
Furthermore, when one's God Transformation Stage is higher, because of the existence of genuine essence s, they can use all kinds of treasures to fight the enemy. The condition of Ancient Families, was richly deserved.
All along, Hong Meng had been guarding the ancient great formation and China's foundation. He had been keeping a delicate balance with the flow of Ancient Families.
Xiao Zhiqing was from the Xiao family, one of the three great families.
Xiao Zhiqing's status was not low. She was the current head of the Xiao family, the second son of Xiao Meng Yu, and the only daughter of Xiao Mo Tan.
Sorrowless and his wife had two daughters. Xiao Zhiqing wasn't born from a wife, but she was Sorrowless' youngest daughter.
Logically speaking, Xiao Zhiqing should be the apple of her eye, the apple of her eye.
However, it just so happened that Xiao Zhiqing was born with the "Nine Yin Meridians!"
The Nine Yin Meridians were destined to be unable to practice any kind of cultivation technique, because of their yin aura, making it impossible for the meridians to absorb the heaven and earth's spirit energy. The spiritual energy automatically retreated.
Moreover, the method to cure the Nine Yin Meridians had already been lost since the ancient times.
Within the Underworld Family, disciples who could not cultivate to the God Transformation Stage, even if they were direct descendants, would not receive respect and could only be treated as outer guards, or as mere servants within the clan.
As for Xiao Zhiqing, a girl who didn't even have the chance to cultivate, she was naturally not even considered as a piece of trash.
However, the other characteristic of the Nine Yin Meridians made the Xiao family see her in a different light — she was immune to poisons!
The Nine Yin Meridians could restrict the erosion of various poisons, allowing the human body to have all sorts of symptoms. However, due to the suppression of the cold yin energy, even if one was poisoned, one's life would not be in danger for the next hundred years.
One had to know that the three great families each had their own strengths and weaknesses. The Luo Family's cultivation methods and techniques were top-notch, and their Ning Family, other than having many treasures, also had a large number of people. Although they were not as good as the elites of the Luo family, they were still on equal footing.
On the other hand, the Xiao Family relied on treasures and pill!
Refining all kinds of pill was the Xiao family's lifeline!
In the past, pill would definitely work after they were successfully refined. In fact, most pill would not be able to determine whether they had achieved the desired effect or not. After all, the people in the clan now no longer had the abilities of the ancestors from the Ancient Era. Many pill formulas and refining methods were also uncertain.
In this way, he could try out the effects of the pill and it would become even more necessary.
However, for many pill, if they were careless, they would be poisoned to the point of injury, and if they were serious, they would cause their internal organs to fester, and bleed from their seven orifices.
The people of the Xiao family naturally wouldn't be able to grab people to test their medicine. First, ordinary people couldn't withstand the medicine, and second, every family member was precious. Even if they were only at the Xiantian realm, they would still lose their lives!
Therefore, Xiao Zhiqing's appearance seemed to cause the Xiao Clan to feel that it was "Destiny's will!"
Although Xiao Zhiqing could not cultivate, her Nine Yin Meridians filled her body with cold spirit energy. She was not an ordinary person, and even if she failed the test, she would not die from poisoning!
In other words, Xiao Zhiqing's body was like a natural test subject!
Since Xiao Zhiqing had become sensible, as long as she refined a pill, the first pill would be sent into her body, and the alchemist elders would observe the change of the pill in her body. If there was a symptom of poison, they would look for the reason, if there was no reaction, then it was naturally done.
"..."
"Is this why there were such a large amount of unclear and complicated poison in your body back then?"
Hearing that, Yang Chen couldn't help but frown.
Xiao Zhiqing's eyes were already bloodshot. When she thought of the tragic events that had happened since she was young, she could even wake up from her dreams.
Nodding her head, Xiao Zhiqing said, "They know that if they want to help me suppress the cold poison in my Nine Yin Profound Veins, not only will they need to spend a large amount of precious medicinal ingredients, they will also have to waste a lot of time. After all, although I was in pain, I wouldn't die so easily.
They don't have your kind of miraculous cultivation technique, and even now, I still can't believe that the cold poison that accompanied me for almost twenty years was really suppressed. "
"Nearly twenty years?" Yang Chen said in surprise, "You're not even 20 yet?"
Xiao Zhiqing's face turned slightly red. "Of course I'm not twenty. If anyone grew up like me, they wouldn't look so young …"
Lin Ruoxi could not bear to listen any longer and said coldly, "Do you still have the heart to ask about your age? How can such a heartless family member be willing to use a living person as a testing tool even if they don't save them?!"
Xiao Zhiqing looked gratefully at Lin Ruoxi. She was obviously very happy that Lin Ruoxi would think this way for her.
"Miss Lin, you probably don't know, but in terms of Underworld Family, since ancient times, strength has always been respected. For a daughter like me, who can't even cultivate, it's already very rare that she doesn't abandon me. If I'm in the family, then my biological father would never even look at me in the eye. Xiao Zhiqing sneered, her eyes full of venom and disdain.
Yang Chen could almost understand how this woman could be so heartless.
Having lived in such a "cannibal" family since she was young, she had probably long forgotten what was conscience and what was kindness.
0
She was surrounded by filth and ugliness, and it was the darkest side of the world.
Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy for her. Their experiences of growing up were somewhat similar. However, she had probably been injured even more.
After a moment of silence, Lin Ruoxi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh right, you still haven't mentioned where these Ancient Families are? "Now that technology is so advanced, is there no one who hasn't discovered it?"
Xiao Zhiqing shook her head and laughed, "Of course we won't be discovered. The location of the Ancient Families and Hong Meng are actually pretty similar, as they surround the ancient great formation. When most people go there, they will only think of it as a no-man's land. But in truth, if they were to break through the outermost Formation Aperture, they will discover that there is a unique heavenly passage. "
"No one is in the area?" Yang Chen searched the map in his mind and said in surprise, "It can't be that it's a Kerry south of Kunlun?"
Xiao Zhiqing nodded her head, "But what I know about the Chinese is that the outermost part of the ice mountain is exposed through the illusions. If one does not have the special tool to enter the formation, it would be impossible to see the true appearance of the inside. The space inside was created by the ancient powers. It was quite large. "
"But, but Xi Li is thousands of miles away from Zhong Hai. You were in Los Angeles, so I would like to ask how did you escape. According to you, you don't have the ability to escape from your home." Yang Chen said doubtfully.
