Chapter 191 Rebuke
"Why do you think I have to go to the Endless Forest?"
He glared at Kuang Zhihong fiercely, and then vented his anger on Kuang Zhifeng. Old Master Kuang blew his beard and glared and said, "Besides what I said before, for the sake of future generations, there are naturally other reasons why we must go.
You all feel that Zhongxin Pills, Huixin Pills, and Queti Pills are good, right? But when you used them, did you ever think about how our family suddenly had these pills? "
"Dad, didn't you tell us that these were all configured by Qingyin? Is there anything wrong with that?"
How could Zhongxin Pills, Huixin Pills, and Quenching Body Pills be more than just good? Even if they were going against their conscience, they would still praise them as excellent.
As for where they came from, Old Master Kuang had never hidden it from them from the beginning. They all knew that they came from Mu Qingyin. Kuang Zhihong and Kuang Zhifeng looked at Old Master Kuang in confusion, wondering why he suddenly forgot what he had said.
"What's wrong? Hum, of course not."
Old Master Kuang narrowed his eyes at Kuang Zhihong and Kuang Zhifeng, "Have you ever thought about where Qingyin got the herbs when she prepared and refined those pills and elixirs? What will we do when the herbs are used up?"
"Dad, is it because the medicinal materials for those medicines are only in the Wuya Forest? So you have to develop there?" Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong both suddenly realized.
After looking at each other, the two brothers nodded: "If that's the case, in order for the family to have a steady supply of medicinal herbs for making medicine, the trip to the Endless Forest is indeed unavoidable."
As they said that, both of them looked at Old Master Kuang helplessly. If that was the reason, why didn't they just say it before? If not for anything else, just for those medicines, they certainly knew that it was worth it no matter what the price. But the old man didn't say such an important thing, but had to reminisce about the past, and even talked about planning for the descendants hundreds of years later. Even though they were complaining about Old Master Kuang in their hearts, neither Kuang Zhifeng nor Kuang Zhihong had the courage to really say these complaints out loud.
Both of them turned their eyes to Kuang Zhihai, who seemed to have known the truth long ago. There was a bit of condemnation in their eyes, which clearly said: Since you already knew the reason, why didn't you remind them when they refuted the old man before? Facing the silent condemnation of the two younger brothers, Kuang Zhihai also looked helpless: You guys were talking so much before, and no one gave me a chance to interrupt. Besides, what was wrong with what the old man said? The old man turned a blind eye to the eye contact between the three brothers.
Seeing that Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong finally had no doubts about the family's development towards the Boundless Forest, Old Master Kuang nodded with satisfaction and said with emotion: "At least you are not that stupid."
Kuang Zhifeng: "."
Kuang Zhihong: "."
"Actually, sending you to the Endless Forest is not what you think. It's not to send you to die. No matter what, a father will never dislike his son's ugliness. No matter how stupid and useless you are, you are still my sons, right?"
After hearing this, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong both smiled bitterly with helplessness on their faces.
Old Master Kuang pretended not to see it. He glared at the two and scolded them, "When did I tell you to go to the border town of the Endless Forest? That place is constantly infested with beasts and is not an ideal place. Are you two the only ones who know this and I don't? Do you need to be so kind as to tell me again?"
With a light "snort", Mr. Kuang rebuked, "Do you two think that I am such an unreliable father that I would disregard your lives and let you die in vain?
Humph, you all have become so impatient and unruly that you don't even have the patience to wait for me to finish speaking, but just interrupt me and keep talking."
Meng Xuan's old books:
Rebirth Counterattack There is Room
She felt guilty all her life in her previous life, and even when she saw her enemies get their comeuppance in the end, it couldn't heal the deep wounds in her heart.
Reborn, she finally has a chance to turn everything around.
With the inherited space and a lot of material things, let's see how she makes up for her regrets in that era of material scarcity and reaps a happy and fulfilling life. But why is that cold and icy man whom she had a vague affection for in her previous life still so evil and ruthlessly exposed her biggest secret so quickly?
"Reborn Fierce Wife Attacks"
"You have to get up from where you fell. Wife, do you want to be proud and show off in front of them for once in your life?" The man whispered in the woman's ear, his tone full of temptation.
"Are you that kind?"
The woman took a step back cautiously, not wanting to be fooled at all: "Those people are not others, aren't they all your dearest parents and brothers and sisters?"
"Wife, I know clearly what is close to me and what is distant from me. From now on, you and the children are my closest relatives."
A look of pain flashed in the man's eyes. It took him a lifetime and a painful price to figure it out - if he didn't know how to protect his wife and children, how could he expect others to take them seriously? - This is actually the story of the male and female protagonists being reborn one after another, and the male protagonist learning from his mistakes and finally becoming a loyal dog.
With space and superpowers, let's see how Gu Nuannuan can lead her mother to a gorgeous reversal in this life--

Chapter 192 Family Secrets 1
If they were to go to the Boundless Forest, where else could they go if not to the border town of the Boundless Forest? Should they be asked to open up a new territory in the Boundless Forest?
Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong looked at each other and saw rather strange looks in each other's eyes.
As everyone knows, it is the border town in the boundless forest that is so crude that it encounters beast tides from time to time, but is completely unable to resist the beast tides. When it was built, it not only cost a huge amount of money, but also cost the lives of countless low-level warriors.
Even so, if it weren't for the help of the immortal, the city over there would not have been built at all.
The border town was just the edge of the Endless Forest, and it was already so difficult to build. If they didn't choose the border town according to the old man's idea, would they have to go deep into the Endless Forest?
Go deep into the Endless Forest and build another "border town"? How could they do it with just their family's strength? Even though their family now has two to three thousand low-level warriors and a family fortune that seems rich in the eyes of ordinary families, it is still far from enough.
Helplessly, they all looked at Old Master Kuang, thinking of his previous meaningful words.
This time, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong finally held back and tried their best to suppress the thousands of questions in their hearts. They just looked at Old Master Kuang and waited to hear what he had to say.
"Remember this, what I am going to tell you now is a family secret. If you were not required to lead people to the Boundless Forest, you would not be qualified to know such a secret according to the ancestral teachings.
About 150 years ago, our ancestor got a map by chance. The map showed a secret place. That place was deep in the Endless Forest. It was said to be extremely secretive, safe, and very large.
Secret place? In other words, their ancestors had already found a place in the Endless Forest, and it was enough for them to just get there? This was not difficult with their family's current strength.
The message in Old Master Kuang's words quickly attracted the attention of Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong. They both perked up and pricked their ears to wait for Old Master Kuang to continue.
Old Master Kuang lived up to their expectations and continued quickly, "That secret place is more than enough to move all of our clan members there to live even when our Kuang family was at its peak.
However, the depths of the Endless Forest are filled with dangers. If there are not enough people going there or if they are not strong enough, it is impossible not to pay a price. Back then, even more than 150 years ago, our Kuang family had already shown signs of decline.
At that time, there were children with spiritual roots in our family, and many of them entered the immortal gate. However, because most of them had ordinary spiritual roots, they naturally performed mediocrely after entering the immortal gate.
The Immortal Sect has rules that those who have not reached a certain level of cultivation cannot leave. So even if the family needed them, most of them could not come back, and the five people who could barely come back were not very strong.
Three of them were ordered to lead their family members to the Boundless Forest. In the end, they successfully found the secret place according to the map, but two of the three immortals were killed. Even less than one of the tribe members who followed them survived. "
Two immortals were killed, and none of the tribesmen who followed them survived. Isn't this too tragic? Kuang Zhihong and Kuang Zhifeng both took a deep breath. Even Kuang Zhihai, who had heard this story once before and knew it, still felt heartbroken when he heard it again.
Two immortals, and two immortals who have achieved some success in their cultivation.
It is easy to imagine how heartbroken, annoyed, and regretful the ancestor who ordered the family immortals to participate in this matter would be. After a long sigh, Old Master Kuang's eyes showed a bit of melancholy: "The price is too high. Fortunately, paying such a heavy price is more or less useful. The secret place was finally found.
Not only that, the people who found it also found a way to completely seal off the old entrance and exit. They spent a lot of effort to build a new, more concealed entrance and exit."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 193 Family Secrets 2
At this point, Old Master Kuang took out a roll of kraft paper that was obviously very old but well preserved, opened it, and spread it on the table.
It's a map.
Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong, who were filled with mixed feelings, came over to take a look after hearing what Old Master Kuang said. Kuang Zhihai, who knew about Old Master Kuang's plan in advance and knew that such a map existed but had never seen it, was no exception.
Gently stroking the map with his hand, the look in Old Master Kuang's eyes was very complicated.
He slowed down his voice and said, "This map was drawn by the survivors after they came back. It was also obtained at the cost of countless lives.
Back then, the loss of our family was too great. It was so great that it had damaged our foundation. For many years afterwards, until our entire family left the upper country, we were unable to recover.
So over the years, even though such a place exists, we no longer have the ability to send people there."
As he spoke, Old Master Kuang raised his head and looked at Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong again: "But now it's different. With the Zhongxin Pills and the Tempering Pills, our family was able to see through the King Yin's schemes and successfully take over the power he had painstakingly built up for many years.
Among the two to three thousand people in our family who broke through to become low-level warriors this time, nearly two thousand of them originally belonged to King Yin's forces, accounting for the vast majority.
So this time, I have enough confidence to let the two of you lead people to the Endless Forest to find our family's secret place again."
As he spoke, Old Master Kuang stared at Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong: "You two should take a thousand people with you. Although those thousand people are low-level warriors who have just advanced, they have the advantage of numbers and they are all people who will not betray you.
With their concerted efforts and cooperation with you two, although we cannot say that this trip is 100% safe, it is much better than when the immortals of the tribe led the tribe members to the Endless Forest more than a hundred years ago. "
There was another silent sigh, and Old Master Kuang said, "Success and failure are all due to Xiao He. The people of our Kuang family who went to the Endless Forest suffered such heavy losses.
The most important reason was that at the beginning, everyone relied on the presence of the immortals and trusted the immortals' strength too much, and underestimated the danger of the Boundless Forest. By the time they finally realized that something was wrong, it was too late.
So this time when you go, you must remember their painful lessons. You don't have to rush to go, I will give you half a month, you can first handle the work in your hands, and then you can go and select people yourself.
Once you have selected the right people, you will all be gathered together for training and running-in for at least half a year. You will eat and live together, get to know each other better, and develop a tacit understanding.
In this way, when you go to the Endless Forest again, as long as you can be more careful, you won't have any casualties, but at least your chances of survival will be greatly increased, and it won't be too tragic."
"Got it, Dad, don't worry. Past experiences are a lesson for the future. We will definitely remember the lessons you taught us and try to minimize the damage." Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong nodded and said in unison.
"good."
Seeing that the two men were both serious, Old Master Kuang knew that they were not just trying to please him. He immediately nodded and said with a smile, "In addition to finding the secret place again, you also have an important mission this time."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 194 Mission
"What mission?" Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong asked curiously.
"I have said before that I want to make the Boundless Forest a retreat for our family. In this case, we need a secret passage that can allow our people to enter and exit the secret place in the Boundless Forest safely.
So after you find the place this time, you have to find a way to dig a secret underground passage that leads directly to the secret place. You must remember that this passage cannot be dug directly out of the secret place.
To prevent this tunnel from being discovered accidentally by someone someday, our secret place would also be broken into."
This is really possible.
After all, if you dig a tunnel leading to the depths of the Endless Forest, the tunnel will inevitably be long. No matter how well hidden it is, it may not be able to prevent the possibility of being accidentally discovered.
Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong just thought about it for a moment and nodded in understanding.
"If possible, you can try to dig this tunnel deeper. After all, the deeper it is dug, the possibility of being discovered will be greatly reduced. Another thing is that you don't have to force the entire process to be continuous when digging." Grandpa Kuang added.
It is said that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure, especially the advice of a wise and clear-minded old person, which is still very desirable.
Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong were not self-righteous and self-righteous people. They naturally listened to what Old Master Kuang said very seriously and agreed to everything after listening. In response, Old Master Kuang stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
After all, although he was the one who gave the orders, if his two sons were determined not to obey him, then he would be helpless if they insisted on disobeying his orders. There were many ways to deal with the disobedient troublemakers under his opponent's command.
In the past, when there was no Zhongxin Pill, you wouldn't have to feel too bad if you met someone who refused to change his ways despite repeated warnings; but now that there is Zhongxin Pill, after taking one, you don't have to worry about the other party daring to disobey you in secret.
But he can discipline his own son and can be cruel to him.
But sometimes there are still some troublemakers who don't obey discipline. For such people, can he really treat them like his subordinates, be more ruthless and watch them become useless without doing anything?
Or can he just save himself the trouble and use a sincere pill to make people obey him? If that were the case, he would regret it later. It would be better to exile him for a few years, and then call him back after he has suffered enough and figured it out. That way, there would be room for regret and he would feel better.
At that moment, he had too many thoughts and thought about Zhongxinwan again, and then he thought of Old Master Kuang, who then thought of Mu Qingyin.
Suddenly, the smile on his face became even wider, and he specifically told Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong: "The Endless Forest is dangerous, but there are also many new things. You two go, and don't forget to find more good things for Qingyin when you come back."
He stroked his beard and said, "No matter what it is, as long as it looks good, collect it. This can be regarded as a reward from the family to her. After all, considering her contribution to the family, no reward is too much.
However, she cannot be the only one to carry the things. Qingyin's contribution is great, and although it is recorded in the family tree, it is not something that can be publicized now.
So, don't make it too obvious and cause others to be jealous and exclude her. After all, they don't know what Qingyin has done yet, they just see that her treatment is different from others, and they will inevitably feel unfair after a while.
If the younger generation in the family really excludes her because of such a small matter, it will not benefit anyone in the end. If things really get out of control, they will definitely be the ones who regret it in the future."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 195: Worrying about Gains and Losses
"Dad, the children in our family are not such stingy people. How could what you said happen?"
The old man's worry made the three brothers Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong couldn't help laughing. Everyone disagreed and thought that his worry was too much.
"What do you know? What's worrying is not the scarcity of food but the inequality of food."
Seeing that no one took his words seriously, Old Master Kuang glared and said, "Think about yourselves, if your cousin suddenly came to our house.
I had something good but I didn't give it to you. I gave it to him instead. And I only gave it to him. You didn't get any share at all. Can you guarantee that you won't feel unfair and complain?"
"."
"."
"."
Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong looked at each other, then after a moment of silence, they all shook their heads.
"That's right."
Old Master Kuang took advantage of the situation and continued, "Let alone cousins, even with our family's upbringing method, we have made it clear to you since you were young, and we don't let you kill each other for the family property.
But even so, you all know the consequences of fratricide. Can this kind of thing really be completely avoided in every generation? Ha, even between brothers and cousins, do you really dare to say that the relationship is so close that there is no selfishness and there is not the slightest bit of dirty things between each other?"
Uh--Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong all felt a little embarrassed. Even among the three brothers, it was impossible for them to be completely free of petty nastiness. Those who could do that were not human beings, but saints.
The three of them looked at each other again, and each of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"cough."
Kuang Zhihai laughed dryly: "Dad, don't you always say that some things are better left unsaid than revealed, and that fish cannot live in clear water? Why did you get so emotional today?"
"That's right." Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong both nodded.
The old man himself often said that where there are people, there will be conflicts.
But didn't he also say that everything has to be done in moderation? You have to know what to do and what not to do. As long as you don't go beyond that limit, that bottom line, that's fine.
The three brothers all remembered this teaching clearly, so why is the old man so worried today?
Yes, it's about worrying about gains and losses.
Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong, who suddenly realized the truth, all asked their questions curiously.
Worried about gains and losses? Mr. Kuang was absent-minded for a moment. Then he stroked his beard and nodded in acknowledgement: "If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed. I really am worried about gains and losses."
He sighed, "This is because Qingyin is too important to our Kuang family. After all, I am also an ordinary person, and I can no longer treat her as just an ordinary granddaughter. If I could, I would really like to worship her.
Unfortunately, I can't tell anyone about this. I'm really afraid that those young people in the family who don't know how to behave will bump into her and exclude her. One day, she might feel uncomfortable staying in our Kuang family."
"."
"."
"."
Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong were silent for a while. After the silence, they all started to worry about gains and losses like Mr. Kuang.
The three of them were all shocked, and then they all smiled bitterly. Kuang Zhihai looked at Old Man Kuang with a lack of backbone and asked, "Dad, what do you think we should do?"
"How would I know?"
Old Master Kuang glared, "The most difficult thing to control in this world is the human heart. Unless they know the reason, they will know the severity of the situation. Otherwise, how can this injustice be suppressed? But if we let them know the reason now, who knows if they can keep the secret? This matter is very serious. If we are not careful, the disaster of the destruction of the family is imminent."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 196 Solution
If people knew that there are such miraculous pills and elixirs in this world as Zhongxin Pills, Huixin Pills and Queti Pills.
Not to mention too much, as long as the use of one drug is leaked, it is enough to destroy the entire Kuang family. Even if there are a hundred Kuang families, they are not enough to destroy them.
The consequence of that is that even if their entire tribe hid in the deepest part of the Wuya Forest and never showed up again, even the Wuya Forest, which was full of dangers, would not be able to protect them, and they would be dug out by someone who could find a way to dig them out.
So the truth can't be told.
The older ones all know how powerful it is. Even if the younger ones are told and warned a thousand times, they still can't stand it. When they are provoked by someone or something, they will completely ignore it and say everything they should and shouldn't say.
This isn't really a question of how to raise children.
If the family has fallen into great poverty, and the children have experienced the hardship of life and the various aspects of life, they will be more cautious and know the consequences of not keeping their mouths shut. Otherwise, no matter how you teach them, it may not be effective.
If a big family secret is leaked by a child accidentally, it cannot be blamed on the child. If you really want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself as an elder. How dare you tell your children everything?
But even if they don't say it, they are still afraid in their hearts.
If Old Master Kuang hadn't enlightened them, they could still live in confusion when they didn't understand. But once they understood, they knew the possible consequences if Qingyin was angered by the ignorant youngsters in the family.
No one of them can afford the consequences.
After all, no matter how capable Qingyin is, isn't she still just a girl in her teens?
No matter how sensible a girl of this age is, she has her limits. Who knows if she gets mad and will follow some crazy person and run away from home?
For a moment, Old Master Kuang, Kuang Zhihai, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong were all at a loss as to what to do. They just stared at each other in helplessness.
What should we do about this? Kuang Zhihong was tired of staring, and couldn't help blinking. Then, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands: "Hey, let's not talk about what we can't say, but can't we still talk about what we can say?"
He looked at Old Master Kuang, Kuang Zhihai and Kuang Zhifeng and said excitedly: "Actually, this matter is easy to solve. Isn't it enough as long as everyone knows that Qingyin has made contributions to the family?
Isn't there always a reward and punishment system in our family? We can't talk about those Zhongxin Pills, Huixin Pills, and Quenching Pills, but there are always things we can talk about. Just think of something we can talk about, regardless of whether Qingyin has done it or not.
As long as we say she did it, it's true. Anyway, as long as we give her the credit, if anyone dares to disobey us, we can teach him a lesson openly until he is convinced. "
Yes, how come they didn't think of such a simple method?
"That's a good idea."
"Yes."
"That's it."
At once, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and praised the idea that Kuang Zhihong had come up with.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became lively. Kuang Zhihong smiled and gave another suggestion: "Aren't we going to bring some rare things to Qingyin from the Endless Forest?
I think we can also tell her about going to the Boundless Forest to look for the secret place. Tell her what is there in the Boundless Forest and ask her what she likes.
Wouldn't it be more obvious that we value her, respect her, and trust her, and that we truly regard her as a member of the family, and that we won't hide anything from her that can be concealed?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 197 Secret 1
"That makes sense."
Old Master Kuang nodded: "Qingyin has been through all that before. Although she can still be open and honest with us, we can't think that it is natural for her to treat us like this.
When people interact with each other, they all pay attention to the give and take of each other. Especially in her case, we should show that we value her more.
The third child said it well, only if we make her feel that we value her, she will gradually feel more at home in our family. And everyone likes different things.
Rather than just thinking about it and finally sending her a bunch of things that she doesn't like, it would be better to ask her clearly from the beginning and spend more time looking for something that she likes. "
When Old Master Kuang said this, he himself hadn't realized that his attitude towards Mu Qingyin had changed a long time ago. He no longer treated her as just a child.
Unknowingly, Mu Qingyin's position had already been raised to a very high position by him - that night.
After returning to Shou'an Residence and washing up, when the old couple were the only ones left in the room, Old Master Kuang said to Old Madam Kuang: "Tomorrow morning, have someone tell Qingyin that I'm looking for her. Ask her to go to my study."
"Okay, I'll make a note of that. I'll have someone go earlier so that she doesn't enter the training room first."
"Yeah." Old Master Kuang nodded with satisfaction.
"What do you want to talk to her about? Didn't you usually ask me to convey the message? Why did you change your mind this time and ask her to tell it myself?" Madam Kuang asked with some curiosity.
"I've made it difficult for you to convey my message this time. Didn't I tell you last time that I wanted our family to expand to the Boundless Forest?"
Old Master Kuang did not hide his intention from Old Madam Kuang, and said directly: "I have asked the second and third sons to come today. When the time comes, let them lead the people to the Endless Forest.
This time, thanks to the body-hardening pills given by Qingyin, two to three thousand people in the family have advanced to low-level warriors. When the time comes, I will let the second and third sons take a thousand people to the Endless Forest. As long as we are cautious, it should be safe.
Qingyin has made such a great contribution to the family, so it is not excessive to reward her in any way. But apart from money, what else can our family give her as a reward now? "
As Old Master Kuang spoke, he sighed secretly.
Thinking back to the past. Sigh, every time I think of the past, I shed a tear. The Kuang family had such a rich fortune back then, but now more than one in a thousand remains. Especially the good things that filled the warehouse back then, now only the spirit stone and the exquisite mirror are left.
But fortunately, now with Qingyin and the pills she provided, soon, their Kuang family will be able to rise again and return to the top.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Old Master Kuang couldn't help but reveal a look of relief: "So, I simply called her over and told her what rare things there are in the Endless Forest. I asked her what she likes, and asked the second and third sons to look for it and bring it back."
"This reward method is indeed good."
Hearing that Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong would lead a thousand people to the Boundless Forest and that there was no risk of safety, the old lady put most of her worries at ease. When she heard what Old Master Kuang said, a look of nostalgia suddenly appeared on her face.
She smiled and said, "Other things are fine. When the time comes, ask the second and third sons to bring back more fire rabbit skins that are unique to the Endless Forest. They are beautiful and warm to make clothes in winter.
Fire rabbits are not likely to hurt people, and their meat is said to be very delicious. There are many of them in the Endless Forest, and you can easily catch a lot. Unfortunately, you can't leave the Endless Forest. Once you leave, you will become sick and die. "
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 198 Secret 2
"The fire rabbit is just a low-level monster. It doesn't have the strength of a monster, but it can spit out a mouthful of fire as big as the mouth of a cup, so it can barely be considered a monster. Its meat is naturally delicious, and its fur is warmer than that of ordinary beasts."
Old Master Kuang smiled and said, "The Endless Forest is where immortals and mortals meet. It has a faint spiritual energy that is very suitable for the survival of demon beasts and spirit beasts. The fire rabbit is too weak, so it can't adapt to the outside environment. Once it leaves the Endless Forest, it will not survive."
"There is spiritual energy in the Endless Forest? What is spiritual energy?" It was the first time that Old Lady Kuang heard the word spiritual energy, and she couldn't help but become curious.
What is Reiki?
Old Master Kuang didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I also heard my great-grandfather say that when I was a child.
It is said that the reason why immortals are unwilling to stay in the place where we ordinary people stay for a long time is actually because we lack spiritual energy.
He said that spiritual energy is necessary for immortals to practice. One of the heaviest punishments for immortals in the world of immortal cultivation is said to be to banish them to a place without spiritual energy or with poor spiritual energy.
Seeing that Madam Kuang was still not satisfied with what she had said, Old Master Kuang paused for a moment and tried hard to recall what she had said before continuing, "The reason why beast tides often occur in the Endless Forest is because there is a thin layer of spiritual energy there.
That spiritual energy is not only suitable for the cultivation of demon beasts and spirit beasts, but also very suitable for ordinary people like us to cultivate. It is said that it will have a multiplier effect.
Therefore, the powerful monsters and spirit beasts in the depths of the Endless Forest simply won't allow us to build a city there and stay there for long.
Otherwise, if we practice there for a long time and become stronger, more and more border towns will inevitably appear, and eventually we will even be able to go deep into the Endless Forest.
You said, how could they tolerate such a thing that would harm the interests of those powerful demon beasts and spirit beasts, and would they allow it to really happen one day?"
"How come those monsters and spirit beasts are like humans and can even think of this first?" Old Madam Kuang asked in surprise.
"Whether it's a demon beast or a spirit beast, the higher its cultivation and the stronger its strength, the smarter it is."
Old Master Kuang sighed, "When they cultivate to a certain level and transform, they are actually no different from us humans. If they blend in with the crowd, you will definitely not be able to tell them apart."
"ah?"
Madam Kuang opened her mouth for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses. When she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but worry: "So if so many of us go to the depths of the Endless Forest this time and find a place to settle down there, will those powerful monsters tolerate it?"
"Don't mention that we only have about a thousand people going this time. Even if we have 10,000 people, do you think that's a lot? Can it be enough to attract the attention of those powerful monsters?"
Old Master Kuang laughed. The secret place they were going to was actually more than ten thousand miles away from the depths of the Endless Forest.
The depth mentioned in the secret place is only for ordinary people. Otherwise, how could the immortal of the family be so careless that he thought it was easy to take the warriors of the family there, but ended up falling into a big trap because of carelessness? After sighing a few times in his heart, Old Master Kuang comforted Old Madam Kuang confidently and said, "You don't need to be nervous. The place we are going to is said to be deep in the Wuyi Forest, but it is actually not a very deep place.
The real depths of the Boundless Forest, without the magic weapon of the immortals, ordinary warriors may not be able to reach it even after years of walking. Moreover, the depths are full of dangers, and it is not a place that ordinary warriors can set foot in.
Even if one is a true immortal, if his cultivation is not high enough, he may not be able to guarantee that he can escape safely if he breaks in alone. "

Chapter 199 Misunderstanding
"Is it so powerful?"
Madam Kuang was so shocked that she opened her mouth for a long time. When she came to her senses, she suddenly asked, "How come so many people in our family have advanced this time?"
She originally thought that she knew the family situation well enough, if not completely. Now it seems that she overestimated herself.
For example, she never knew that there were so many ordinary warriors in her family who were only one step away from becoming warriors.
People who practice martial arts can be divided into ordinary warriors and acquired martial artists.
There is a barrier between the two. Usually, without the help of natural treasures or elixirs, many ordinary warriors may not be able to cross this barrier and successfully become acquired warriors even after decades of hard training.
But once you cross that line, even if you are just a low-level warrior in the early stages, your life span can reach at least eighty to ninety years old, or even a hundred years old.
If one is luckier and successfully advances from a low-level warrior to a mid-level warrior, a high-level warrior or even a high-level warrior, his life span will be extended by another fifty years to around one hundred and fifty years.
Going up further, above the high-level warriors who have reached the Great Perfection, there are the innate warriors. In the eyes of ordinary people, innate warriors are immortals, immortals who have entered the Tao through martial arts.
The lifespan of an ordinary immortal can reach at least three hundred years, and as their cultivation level improves, it is no problem for them to live for more than a thousand years.
Moreover, all the immortals who entered the immortal path through martial arts are extremely powerful, and their strength is often far higher than those immortals of the same level who embarked on the immortal path because of their spiritual root talents.
It's just a pity that it is almost impossible to cross over from a high-level warrior to a congenital warrior and enter the Tao through martial arts.
The gap between the two is not just a matter of a hurdle, but a natural chasm. It is like asking an ordinary warrior to cross the boundless forest alone, which is almost impossible.
At least in the history of Qingcang Continent, no one has ever done it.
It is said that warriors have such a long life span, and all the noble families have long-lived and highly skilled elders. Such elders are also a reflection of a family's heritage and strength.
But the Kuang family does not have such an elder now.
Outsiders naturally don't know that this unusual situation occurred entirely because of the serious consequences of the Kuang family's trip to the Boundless Forest to search for the secret place.
Outsiders, including ordinary members of the Kuang family who were unaware of the truth, all thought that the Kuang family had truly fallen into decline.
A family that has no elders to support it and no younger generations to inherit it is destined to be feared. It is like a piece of fat meat that everyone can pounce on and take a bite of.
This was the reason why the Kuang family decisively gave up a lot of their interests and returned to Dazhao from Shangguo. The Kuang family no longer had enough warriors to protect their family property. If they retreated, they could still save some things, but if they didn't retreat, they would lose more and more.
Originally, Madam Kuang thought there was nothing wrong with the family's choice. But this time, so many warriors suddenly appeared in the family, which made her doubt.
Looking at Old Master Kuang, Old Madam Kuang frowned and asked in confusion: "Could it be that those people are the hidden power of the family?"
Thinking that the family still had a hidden force whose strength should not be underestimated, but it was still not activated when the family was facing life and death, she felt puzzled and couldn't help but feel doubts and complaints.
She said sadly and angrily, "If we had used them back then, why would we have to retreat from Shangguo to Dazhao in such a mess? Even if we can't stay in the capital of Shangguo, can we not have a place to stand in the remote prefectures below?"

Chapter 200 Explanation
"The hidden power of the family? What hidden power does our Kuang family have?"
When Old Master Kuang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then realized that Old Madam Kuang had misunderstood him and couldn't help laughing. He looked at her helplessly and shook his head, "What are you thinking about?
If our Kuang family really had such a hidden power, how could we not use it at such a critical moment of life and death and keep it until now?"
He smiled and explained, "I was so busy that I forgot to tell you about those people. They actually originally belonged to King Yin's forces.
Thanks to Qingyin's loyalty pill, none of the spies who had infiltrated our group from Prince Yin's Mansion could hide and were all caught.
So I discussed it with the boss and decided to fight back, using the Zhongxin Pills to gradually bring all the more than 10,000 troops that King Yin had trained hard to prepare for the rebellion under the command of our Kuang family."
After briefly recounting the process of his family's conquest of King Yin's forces, Old Man Kuang said with a smug look on his face, "Only two to three thousand people advanced this time, because the Body Tempering Pill can only be used once per person and there are only more than six thousand pills, so we have to use them sparingly.
Therefore, I didn't let those whose cultivation had not yet reached the critical point of breakthrough take the Body Tempering Pill. Otherwise, there would definitely be more people who advanced."
"So that's how it is."
Only then did Madam Kuang realize that she had misunderstood. All her previous anger disappeared immediately and her face turned red, looking a little embarrassed.
"I know you feel bad when you think about the past."
Facing the angry behavior of Mrs. Kuang due to misunderstanding, Old Master Kuang did not blame her at all. Instead, he smiled cheerfully and said, "In fact, I feel the same as you do. Over the years, I have also dreamed of returning to the country like you, and I have to go back in glory. Unfortunately, this was only a dream in the past.
But now it's different. Now we have Qingyin, who can not only prepare pills like Zhongxin Pills and Huixin Pills, but also refine the Tempering Pills that are very beneficial to martial artists.
With these, even if we can't find enough medicinal materials to prepare and refine more medicines for a while, we can use what we have now.
These are enough for our Kuang family to build a guard team that is large enough, loyal enough, and composed entirely of warriors. Now, we just need to give us a few more years to train this guard team.
With them protecting the Kuang family from now on, we can be confident even against the largest family in Shangshang Country. In this way, isn't it just around the corner for us to return to Shangshang Country in glory?"
Looking at Madam Kuang, Old Master Kuang's face was full of excitement: "Although we can go back whenever we want now, can you be willing to go back so quietly after so many years? Be patient, it will be soon. I promise that it will be enough to wait for another ten years at most."
"Ten years. Ten years"
Madam Kuang murmured, looking at Grandpa Kuang with tears in her eyes: "Is ten years really enough for us to return to the upper country in glory?"
"Yes, that's enough. Ten years is not a long time for us. By then we will be able to return with our entire family in glory as our father wished."
Old Master Kuang nodded affirmatively: "I have already planned it out. Soon we will be able to send people back to the upper country to slowly take back the property that we had to give up back then.
And our ancestral home has been abandoned for so many years. How can we live here if we don't clean it up? It will take time. When we return, you will see a more magnificent house than before."
