#870 - Return to the family!
"Okay, let's talk about it after we go in." Luo Tianhe said, "Come on, prepare a banquet! I want to welcome Chen'er!"
"yes!"
The servants of the Luo family quickly took action.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, led by Luo Tianhe, walked into the Luo family.
The Luo family’s mansion was even more luxurious and magnificent than Qingshuang had imagined.
There are pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water.
"Miss Qingshuang, what do you think of our Luo family?" Luo Tianhe asked with a smile.
"Very...very good." Qingshuang said.
She no longer knew what words to use to describe her feelings.
"Haha, I'm glad you like it." Luo Tianhe said, "Chen'er, since you're back this time, you can stay a little longer."
"Yeah." Luo Chen nodded.
This time he came back, in addition to visiting his family, he also had something important to tell his father.
"Father, I came back this time because I have something important to tell you." Luo Chen said.
"What's the matter?" Luo Tianhe asked.
"About the 'Holy Church'..." Luo Chen told Luo Tianhe in detail about his experiences over the years and the demise of the "Holy Church".
"What?! The 'Holy Church' was actually destroyed by you?!" Luo Tianhe was shocked after hearing this.
He could never have imagined that his son would do such an earth-shattering thing.
"Chen'er, you...you are so amazing!" Luo Tianhe said excitedly, "You have brought honor to our Luo family!"
"Father, this is what I should do." Luo Chen said.
"Good! Good! Good!" Luo Tianhe said "good" three times in a row again, "Tonight, I will hold a big banquet to celebrate for you! I want everyone in Qingshi City to know that my son, Luo Chen, is back!"
"Father, this..." Luo Chen hesitated.
He didn't want to be too conspicuous.
"Chen'er, don't refuse." Luo Tianhe said, "This is the honor you deserve!"
"Okay." Luo Chen nodded.
"By the way, father, I have one more thing to ask of you." Luo Chen said.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Luo Tianhe said.
"I want to meet the ancestor." Luo Chen said.
"Grandmaster?" Luo Tianhe was stunned, then nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The ancestor of the Luo family, Luo Changfeng, is the most powerful and mysterious person in the Luo family.
He has been in seclusion for many years and rarely appears in public.
The person Luo Chen wanted to see most when he came back this time was his ancestor.
He had many questions and wanted to ask his ancestors for advice.
"Luo Chen, Qingshuang, you guys take a rest first, I'll be back soon." Luo Tianhe said.
"Okay." Luo Chen nodded.
After Luo Tianhe left, Luo Chen and Qingshuang were arranged to stay in a luxurious guest room.
"Luo Chen, your family... is so powerful." Qingshuang couldn't help but sigh.
"This is just the surface." Luo Chen said, "You haven't seen the real power yet."
"Really powerful?" Qingshuang was a little puzzled.
"You will know when you meet the ancestor." Luo Chen said.
He believed that the ancestor would definitely give Qingshuang a surprise.
As night falls, the Luo family's house is brightly lit.
The huge palaces appear even more magnificent under the lights.
Various forces in Qingshi City came to congratulate.
They brought precious gifts and offered sincere blessings.
"Patriarch Li, here you are!"
"Patriarch Wang, here you are!"
"The head of the Zhang family is here!"
…
Following the announcements, prominent figures in Qingshi City walked into the Luo family's main hall.
The hall was already filled with banquets.
The children of the Luo family were walking around and entertaining the guests.
"Master Luo, congratulations!"
"Your son is truly a rare talent!"
"The Luo family has such a unicorn child, the future is promising!"
…
The guests congratulated Luo Tianhe one after another.
Luo Tianhe responded one by one with a smile on his face.
"Everyone, please take your seats!"
Luo Tianhe arranged the guests to their seats.
"Chen'er, Qingshuang, come and sit down too."
Luo Tianhe greeted Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, arranged by Luo Tianhe, sat at the main table.
"Chen'er, this is the Patriarch of the Li family, and this is the Patriarch of the Wang family..."
Luo Tianhe introduced the guests at the main table to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen greeted them one by one.
"My dear nephew Luo Chen, you are indeed a handsome man!"
"It's amazing that he has achieved so much at such a young age!"
"Master Luo, you are so lucky!"
…
The guests praised Luo Chen one after another.
Luo Chen just responded modestly.
Qingshuang sat aside, looking at Luo Chen, her heart filled with pride.
"The ancestor has arrived!"
Suddenly, a loud announcement interrupted the noise in the hall.
The originally bustling hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes turned towards the entrance of the hall.
I saw an old man in a white robe slowly walking in.
His hair and beard were all white and his face was gaunt, but he looked energetic and walked steadily.
He exudes a powerful aura that makes people dare not look directly at him.
"Greetings, ancestors!"
Luo Tianhe quickly stood up and saluted the old man with the children of the Luo family.
"Greetings, ancestors!"
The guests also stood up and saluted the old man.
"Everyone, get up."
The old man said calmly.
His voice, although not loud, was clearly heard by everyone.
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Everyone then stood up.
The old man sat down at the head table.
His eyes fell on Luo Chen.
"You are Chen'er, right?"
The old man asked.
"Replying to the ancestors, I am Luo Chen."
Luo Chen said respectfully.
"Not bad, not bad."
The old man nodded, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"I heard from Tianhe that you have been training outside these years?"
The old man asked.
"Yes, ancestor."
Luo Chen said.
"What have you gained from your experience outside?"
The old man asked.
"Returning to the ancestors, the harvest was fruitful."
Luo Chen said.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
The old man said.
Luo Chen simply recounted his experiences over the years to the ancestor.
Of course, he concealed the matter of the Chaos Artifact.
"'Holy Religion'..."
After hearing this, the old ancestor frowned slightly.
"I didn't expect that this 'holy religion' would be so rampant."
The ancestor said.
"Ancestor, do you know the 'Holy Religion'?"
Luo Chen asked.
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”
The ancestor said.
"The Holy Church is a very ancient and very evil organization."
"Their goal is to resurrect the 'Holy Lord' and rule the entire cultivation world."
"Grandfather, do you know who this 'Holy Lord' is?"
Luo Chen asked.
"'Holy Lord'..."
The old ancestor pondered for a moment and said.
“That’s a legendary figure.”
"It is said that he has the power to destroy the world."
"Once he is resurrected, the entire world of immortal cultivation will be devastated."
"So scary?"
Luo Chen was a little surprised.
"Yes."
The ancestor nodded.
"So, we must stop the conspiracy of the Holy Church."
"Grandfather, do you have any solution?"
Luo Chen asked.
"There is a way...
The ancestor said.
"However, before that, I need to test your strength first."
"Test my strength?"
Luo Chen was stunned.
"That's right."
The ancestor said.
"If you can't even pass my test, how can you stop the Holy Religion?"
"Grandfather, how do you want to test me?"
Luo Chen asked.
“It’s very simple.”
The ancestor said.
"Take three of my moves. If you can take them, you will pass the test."
"Three moves?"
Luo Chen was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the test from his ancestors would be so simple.
"What? You don't dare?"
The ancestor asked.
"Grandfather, it's not that I don't dare."
Luo Chen said.
"I just think... this test seems too easy."
"Simple?"
The ancestor laughed.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant."
"My three moves are not so easy to deal with."
"Ancestor, please teach me!"
Luo Chen said.
He is ready.
"good!"
The ancestor nodded.
"The first move!"
As the old ancestor spoke, he slowly raised his right hand and pointed a finger at Luo Chen.
This finger, seemingly understated, actually contains great power.
Luo Chen only felt a huge pressure coming towards him.
He quickly circulated his spiritual power and swung his sword to block.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Luo Chen was knocked back three steps.
“So strong!”
Luo Chen was secretly shocked.
He didn't expect that the ancestor's strength was so terrifying.
"The second move!"
The ancestor's voice sounded again.
He raised his right hand again and slapped Luo Chen.
This palm strike was more powerful than the previous one.
Luo Chen only felt a force like an overwhelming force rushing towards him.
He quickly used his strongest sword skills to resist with all his might.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Luo Chen was blown away and hit the wall of the hall.
"puff!"
Luo Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.
"Chen'er!"
Luo Tianhe exclaimed and hurried forward to check.
"I'm fine."
Luo Chen shook his head and struggled to stand up.
"Third move!"
The ancestor's voice sounded again.
He slowly raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and punched Luo Chen.
This punch is even more terrifying than the previous one.
Luo Chen only felt a breath of death enveloping him.
He knew that he would never be able to take this punch.
"Am I going to die here?"
Luo Chen thought to himself.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of Luo Chen.
It’s Qingshuang!
"Qingshuang, you..."
Luo Chen's eyes widened and his voice trembled.
"Bang!"
The ancestor punched Qingshuang.
Qingshuang suddenly vomited blood and flew backwards.
"Qingshuang!"
Luo Chen's eyes were bloodshot, he let out an angry roar, and rushed towards Qingshuang desperately.
"you……"
The old ancestor looked at Qingshuang lying on the ground, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Grandfather, I..."
Luo Chen hugged Qingshuang, his voice trembling.
"You passed the test."
The old ancestor said slowly.
"What?"
Luo Chen was stunned.
"I said, you passed the test."
The ancestor repeated it.
"But... I didn't take your three moves."
Luo Chen said.
"I didn't say that you must take my three moves."
The ancestor said.
"My test is to see if you have courage, responsibility, and a spirit of sacrifice."
“And you did it.”
"So, you passed the test."
"Grandfather, I..."
Luo Chen didn't know what to say.
"Okay, stop talking."
The ancestor said.
"Take this little girl to heal her wounds first."
"Yes, ancestor."
Luo Chen nodded.
He held Qingshuang in his arms and left the hall.
"Grandfather, you..."
Luo Tianhe looked at the ancestor, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Tianhe, I know what you want to say."
The ancestor said.
"Chen'er, he is a promising talent."
"His future is limitless."
"For our Luo family, having him is enough."
"Grandfather, I understand."
Luo Tianhe nodded.
He knew that his ancestors had high hopes for Luo Chen.
......
Luo Chen held Qingshuang and returned to his room.
He gently placed Qingshuang on the bed and began to treat her wounds.
"Qingshuang, how are you?"
Luo Chen asked with concern.
"I...I'm fine."
Qingshuang said weakly.
"Why did you take that punch for me?"
Luo Chen asked.
"I...I can't let you get hurt."
Qingshuang said.
"fool."
Luo Chen gently stroked Qingshuang's cheek.
"Do you know that what you are doing is very dangerous?"
"I know."
Qingshuang said.
"But I don't regret it."
“Qingshuang…”
Luo Chen was touched.
He hugged Qingshuang tightly and said.
"Thank you."
"Do we need to talk about this between us?"
Qingshuang smiled slightly and said.
"Um."
Luo Chen nodded.
He began to heal Qingshuang's injuries.
He slowly injected his spiritual power into Qingshuang's body.
Qingshuang's injuries gradually improved with the nourishment of Luo Chen's spiritual power.
"Better?"
Luo Chen asked.
"Yeah, much better."
Qingshuang said.
"You take a rest first, I'll go find some pills."
Luo Chen said.
"good."
Qingshuang nodded.
Luo Chen left the room and went to look for medicine.
He came to the Luo family's scripture library.
The Sutra Repository is where the Luo family keeps their skills, secret manuals, and elixir recipes.
This is the forbidden area of the Luo family, and only the core members of the family can enter.
As the son of the patriarch of the Luo family, Luo Chen is naturally qualified to enter the Sutra Repository.
He walked into the Sutra Repository, and a strong scent of books hit him in the face.
The Sutra Repository is filled with bookshelves, and on the bookshelves are placed all kinds of books.
“There are so many books here.”
Luo Chen sighed.
He began to look for pills on the bookshelf.
“Found it!”
Luo Chen found a book about elixirs.
He opened the book and read it carefully.
"Rejuvenation Pill, a holy medicine for healing, can cure various internal injuries."
"Nine-turn Soul-Restoring Pill can bring the dead back to life and heal all kinds of serious injuries."
"The muscle-growing pill can promote wound healing and treat various injuries."
…
Luo Chen saw the introductions of various kinds of elixirs and was amazed.
"These pills are truly miraculous."
Luo Chen said.
He decided to refine some pills to heal Qingshuang's injuries.
He found the materials for alchemy and started making the elixir.
Luo Chen's alchemy skills are very advanced.
He quickly refined a furnace of pills.
"Rejuvenation Pill, it worked!"
