Strongest replication

The third elder in charge of punishment was leading four inner elders and nine elite disciples standing in front of a gray building.

This gray building was about three meters high and ten meters wide. It looked like a palace. There were four protruding corners on the top of the palace, and a lifelike black dragon was carved on each corner.

The entire palace was completely closed, with only a red main door. The brightly colored main door exuded a bloody smell, and it was obvious that the environment inside was very cruel.

"Yuping, has Zhongtian returned from the training in the Endless Forest?" Chu Zhongba, who was standing in front of the elite disciples, looked around and did not find Chu Zhongtian, so he asked Chu Yuping beside him.

Since Chu Zhongtian was determined to be the heir of the family, Chu Zhongba readjusted his mentality and regarded himself as Chu Zhongtian's closest partner and the strongest helper to accompany him in his future growth. At the same time, he also set his sights on the position of the top three elders in the inner door.

Because of this, the relationship between him and Chu Yuping quickly warmed up, and the two of them were almost good friends who could talk about anything.

"I saw the elder when I went to the alchemy room to find Junior Sister Ying yesterday afternoon. Logically, Zhongtian should have returned, but Jingya Pavilion is still closed to visitors, so I don't know if he has returned!" Chu Yuping replied uncertainly.

Chu Yuping only knew on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that Chu Zhongtian had quietly left Lucheng to go to the Endless Forest alone to practice. He was extremely anxious when he got the news at that time. It was not that he opposed Chu Zhongtian going to the Endless Forest, because after several contacts, Chu Yuping knew that Chu Zhongtian was a practice maniac and would never give up the opportunity to improve his strength.

What made him anxious was that Chu Zhongtian should not go to the Endless Forest alone to practice in the dangerous Endless Forest. Even if he did not need the secret protection of the family masters, he should at least take Chu Yuping with him.

In case of any danger on the way, he could also help resist for a while, so that Chu Zhongtian would have enough time to escape and fight back.

It was because he was worried about Chu Zhongtian's safety that he had to go to Jingya Pavilion almost three times a day in the next period.

However, when Chu Zhongtian left the Chu family, he gave a death order to the guards guarding Jingya Pavilion. No one except the clan leader was allowed to enter Jingya Pavilion.

The reason for issuing this order was that Chu Zhongtian wanted to give outsiders the illusion that he was practicing in seclusion.

"He must not be late for the Blood Prison Pavilion, which opens once every ten years. Otherwise, missing this opportunity will have a great impact on his future strength improvement!" Seeing that Chu Yuping was not sure whether Chu Zhongtian had returned, Chu Zhongba, who knew the importance of the Blood Prison Pavilion, was very worried.

"The young clan leader is here!" Just as Chu Zhongba finished speaking, Chu Yuping saw a smiling boy in light blue walking behind him.

"Meet the young clan leader!" When Chu Zhongtian walked in front of everyone, whether it was the noble third elder or the nine elite children such as Chu Zhongba, they all took the lead in greeting Chu Zhongtian.

"You elders are too polite. Zhongtian will always be the same Zhongtian as before. Don't be too polite in the future." Seeing the third elder and others saluting to him, Chu Zhongtian hurriedly stepped forward and stopped them with his hands raised in the air.

"Young Patriarch, etiquette cannot be abolished." The third elder said firmly.

The third elder is the elder in charge of the Chu family's punishment. He has a very old-fashioned personality and strictly enforces etiquette. If the patriarch makes a mistake in etiquette, he will accuse him on the spot without any mercy. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian did not continue to persuade the third elder's firm attitude.

"Young Patriarch, you have broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining!" Although he insisted that etiquette cannot be abolished, the third elder was still very comfortable with Chu Zhongtian's humble attitude.

When he looked up and wanted to continue to remind him of the principle of etiquette, he unexpectedly found that Chu Zhongtian was already in the middle stage of the seventh level of Qi Refining, and was shocked and lost his voice.

Three months!

In just three months, Chu Zhongtian broke through from the first level of Qi Refining to the middle level of the seventh level of Qi Refining. Not to mention the Chu family, even in the thousands of years of legends in Qi State, there is probably no such monster.

"I broke through by chance during the training!" Chu Zhongtian said modestly.

In fact, he was still a little excited. His breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Refining caused the third elder to lose his composure. If he knew that he had actually broken through the eighth level of Qi Refining and reached the middle level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, I wonder if he would faint from excitement.

"Alas!" For Chu Zhongtian's potential and the monster-like breakthrough speed, the third elder and others could only use a long sigh to describe their complicated feelings at this time.

The third elder had a medium-level cultivation talent of the eighth grade. It took him nearly a year to break through the seventh level of Qi Refining. Compared with Chu Zhongtian, their performance was indeed much inferior.

After a brief greeting with several elders, Chu Zhongtian walked in front of Chu Zhongba and others and began to chat with each other.

"Young clan leader, when did you come back?" Chu Yuping was shocked that Chu Zhongtian had broken through to the middle stage of the seventh level of Qi Refining and had surpassed him in cultivation. He also wanted to know when Chu Zhongtian returned to the clan.

Because he went to Jingya Pavilion twice yesterday afternoon and evening, but each time it was closed to visitors. If Chu Zhongtian had not come back, it would be natural to close the door to visitors. But if he had returned to Jingya Pavilion but refused to meet him, Chu Yuping felt a little uneasy.

Since Chu Zhongtian was confirmed as the heir, Chu Yuping's mentality was lower than Chu Zhongba's. He had completely regarded himself as Chu Zhongtian's subordinate and his absolute confidant in the future, so he cared a lot about Chu Zhongtian's attitude towards him.

"Oh, I came back the day before yesterday, but I stayed at the clan leader's place and didn't return to Jingya Pavilion for the time being." Chu Zhongtian didn't know Chu Yuping's complicated heart at this time, and just casually explained where he was going.

After just one night of rest in Luolin Town, the elder took Chu Zhongtian back to the family.

After returning to the family, Chu Zhongtian wanted to return to his Jingya Pavilion, but the clan leader Chu Tianyun suddenly called him over. After learning that Chu Zhongtian had broken through the seventh level of the Qi Refining Period, Chu Tianyun was surprised and decided to let Chu Zhongtian practice in his retreat for a few days and try his best to improve his cultivation.

The clan leader's retreat was at the head of the tenth-grade spiritual vein. Although the spiritual energy was not as rich as that of Qianlong Pavilion, it was also quite sufficient.

How could Chu Zhongtian be unwilling to absorb free spiritual energy? Moreover, he only had three lower-level ninth-grade spirit stones on him, which were not enough for him to absorb in one day.

In the clan leader's secret room, Chu Zhongtian, with the help of sufficient spiritual energy, completely consolidated his realm after the breakthrough, and at the same time raised his potential after the breakthrough to the limit.

Seeing that there was still some time before the opening of the Blood Prison, Chu Zhongtian used this time to raise his cultivation to the middle of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage, which was why he was a little late.

While improving his strength, Chu Zhongtian also knew that the clan leader and two elders who had reached the peak of the tenth level of the Body Refining Stage were preparing to break through the Qi Transformation Stage.

It was for this reason that Chu Tianyun was so generous to let him use his exclusive secret room.
