In fact, Shen Huanyan's spiritual roots when he was young were good, and coupled with his inaction and ease of mind, even if he didn't need to build a foundation for himself, he still had a quarter chance of success.

However, what is impermanent in the world is that in the later stage of his Qi training, he injured the meridians and dantian when fighting with the Chen family monk, thus losing further possibilities.

After knowing this fact, Shen Huanyan could be regarded as a more open mind, and was not let down by it.

Since he was a good calligraphy and painting, teaching and educating people, he naturally became the dean of the family school.

Over the years, every member of the clan who came out of the family school has more or less received his teachings.

Therefore, his prestige in the hearts of the people is not the same as that of the patriarch. Everyone needs a respectful salute.

In this life, Shen Huanyan had married a family sister when he was young and gave birth to a pair of children. Unfortunately, they were all without spiritual roots.

In his later years, a child with spiritual roots finally appeared among the grandchildren's descendants, although only a four-spiritual aptitude.

Shen Ruiling knew the tempers of the four elders, public and private were extremely clear, and he did not bother to do things for favoritism.

So even before he died, he didn't speak to himself to take care of his junior of the Four Spiritual Roots.

But even if Shen Huanyan didn't say anything, Shen Ruiling would take special care of the child because he needed to pay back a favor.

Of course, when he was young, Shen Huanqun could not take care of him because he stayed in Shanghai Shangfang all the year round, so he asked Shen Huanyan in the school to take care of him.

During those years in the academy, he received Shen Huanyan's careful care and earnest teaching, which made him understand a lot.

Shen Ruiling will never forget this kindness.

...

The death of Shen Huanyan means that there is one less old man of Huan character generation who guarded the turbulent family together with the patriarch Shen Huanchi.

Following his previous wishes, the funeral proceeded very simply, with the exception of several family elders such as Shen Ruiling and Shen Jingan, and did not disturb other tribesmen.

After being cremated, Shen Huanyan's body was buried in the cemetery on the back mountain of the family, and a tablet with black wood and red letters was added to the family ancestral hall.

As usual, Shen Ruiling made people ring the ancient bronze bell hanging on the top of Yunbi Peak.

Some tribesmen who learned of the death of the four elders also spontaneously came to the ancestral hall to express their deep respect.

After simply organizing the funeral of the fourth elder Shen Huanyan, Shen Ruiling came to a small courtyard near the Dan Pavilion.

No one else lives here, but his grandfather Shen Huanqun.

Shen Ruiling respectfully greeted Shen Huanqun, and then told him the news of the Fourth Elder sitting.

However, Shen Huanqun seemed to have known the news a long time ago. He just listened quietly to Shen Ruiling's completion without saying anything.

Looking at the weather-beaten cheeks on the old man's face and the gullies left by the years, Shen Ruiling's heart became extremely heavy again.

Although Shen Huanqun was the second elder, he was actually the youngest of the four elders that year. He became the second elder of the family by virtue of his first-hand, second-tier high-grade alchemy and a perfect cultivation base.

Shen Ruiling knew that as a second-tier high-grade alchemist, his grandfather had his own views on health preservation.

Moreover, after experiencing the "resurrection from the dead", with the help of the thousand-year profound spirit liquid, he not only healed the wounds of the soul, but also healed some old wounds in his body.

But even so, the life of the monk during the Qi training period is about 120, and he is now more than 110 years old.

Shen Ruiling has been cultivating the Tao for more than seventy years, and has experienced several life and death separations, and the fragile emotions deep in her heart have become a little numb.

However, when this kind of thing was about to happen to him, his heart became uneasy and difficult to part with.

This time, Shen Ruiling stayed in Shen Huanqun's courtyard longer than ever before. He accompanied his grandfather, quietly enjoying the beauty that still exists.

However, when the Shen clan on Yunbifeng was still immersed in the grief of the death of the Fourth Elder, a new round of danger was coming.

...

The northeastern part of Linhai County was once the sphere of influence of the Chen family, the first family of Linhai County. However, as the Chen family mysteriously disappeared from Linhai County, this area was jointly managed by the three families of Shen, Li, and Du.

Although it is a joint management, when the resources in this area are divided up and cleaned up by the three families, the others become the three-regardless zone.

At this time, in an abandoned mine in the Chen family, more than a dozen mysterious monks in black robes gathered here.

"Presumably you've all seen it, a good place has been caused by those three families in a miasma, and it has even divided up the industry of our Chen family back then!"

Among the crowd, an old man walked out and watched the others slowly speak.

Everyone was silent, but there was a wave of anger and hatred towards the other three families in their hearts.

"I understand your feelings. At this time, the old man is in the same mood as you. The old man will never forget the day when he left the Longliu Valley. That was the shame of my Chen family!"

The old man gritted his teeth and said, his tone was full of hatred for the three major families.

"Six elders, tell us what to do!"

A man stood up and said angrily.

The old man glanced at the man, then looked at the others, and said solemnly:

"All of you are dead men selected from the family, and you are also burdened with the mission of returning to Linhai County from the Chen family."

"Now that the ancestors have left the pass, it is not far from our counterattack in Linhai County, and the day when the three coalition forces killed our people in the past is not far away, and your task is to create as much as possible in Linhai County before the family counterattack. All kinds of chaos disturbed the hearts of the three major families."

After hearing the old man's words, more than a dozen members of the Chen family shouted in unison:

"I'm going to do my best!"

The old man looked at the crowd and laughed in relief.

"Okay, you take these jade bottles~lightnovelpub.net~ After talking, he took out more than ten ink-colored jade bottles from the jade box that he carried with him.

"You people, immediately sneak into the various areas of Linhai County, and secretly pour the contents of the bottle into the river near the three major families."

"Remember the contents of this bottle, you must never touch or drink all the water in Linhai County."

Hearing this, the ten or more Chen family cultivators looked at the jade bottle in the old man's hand, filled with fear, and swallowed involuntarily.

From the old man's words, it is not difficult for them to guess that the contents of the bottle must be very vicious.

But in the end, these monks of the Chen family took the jade bottle from the old man's hand and carefully carried it into his arms.

"Go, the old man is waiting for you to come back!"

In the long voice of the old man, these more than ten brothers of the Chen family left here and rushed to various areas of Linhai County.
