Chapter 7: The Mourning Hall

Rong Kaixuan's eyes rolled around as he looked at the two people beside him

Rong Jieming smiled broadly, and the wrinkles on his old face resembled a blooming chrysanthemum: "Ah, triumphant! This philosopher's stone is indeed a treasure; it must not be carelessly discarded. If the stone breaks, I would not be able to afford the loss"

Although he does not understand what exactly has happened to his son, one thing is certain: the trajectory of Kai Xuan's life will undoubtedly undergo a significant turning point in the future

The name of this cousin, Rong Yide, is quite renowned, far surpassing that of this nameless individual who has been exiled to a remote village.

Under the leadership of a middle-aged man, they entered the hall. This middle-aged man went in to report, and after a moment, a man in his thirties emerged slowly.

Upon detecting his innate talent as a spiritual practitioner, the two family warriors stationed at the Trial Hall immediately set aside everything to accompany him to the Spirit Hall, while his father, Rong Yiyang, was not even qualified to accompany him

Oh, it is Young Master Kaixuan, please follow me.

Rong Yide chuckled and said, "Brother Yiyang, I truly did not expect that Kai Xuan's nephew possesses the talent of a spiritual practitioner, and such a strong talent at that, it is indeed astonishing." He paused for a moment and continued, "This matter is of great importance and is no longer something we can decide. Uncle Ming, how about we immediately inform the clan elders in the spiritual hall about this?"

Indeed. Rong Jieming took the lead and said: "This is Rong Kaixuan, one of the direct descendants of the Rong family. Today, he was originally here in the Testing Hall to assess his true energy aptitude, but unexpectedly, we discovered that he possesses the aptitude of a spiritual practitioner, and moreover..."

Rong Kaixuan responded with an acknowledgment and obediently entered through the side door. However, he was quite surprised in his heart; this mourning hall truly appeared extraordinary.

Snap ... ...

Rong Jieming and Rong Yide had extremely grim expressions, yet they seemed to hold a deep apprehension towards this middle-aged man, or rather, they simply did not dare to raise their voices here

Rong Yide also nodded slowly and said, "Indeed, the treatment of spiritualists is far superior to that of us martial artists. Kaixuan, your aptitude as a spiritualist is excellent. As long as you dedicate yourself to cultivation, not only can you become a spiritualist, but it is also possible for you to advance to even higher realms."

It is evident that both of them are racing against time to leave a good impression in the heart of the young man, Rong Kaixuan

It is evident that the status of this mourning hall within the family is exceedingly esteemed

Elder of the clan, this is by no means an ordinary title within the family

If the two were to meet on ordinary days, Rong Yide would definitely have no interest in saying even a single word to him

Rong Yide accompanied by a smile said: "This brother, I am Rong Yide from the Testing Hall"

Rong Yide stepped forward and gently tapped on the side door

Allow the mysterious airflow to enter the touchstone, so that when the airflow returns, it can become even more powerful

Although he enjoys a modest reputation within his family, upon arriving here, he has become increasingly cautious and prudent

Each clan elder possesses enviable power and privileges; as long as a certain elder utters a word, they can easily determine the status of a disciple and the rise or fall of a family

Perhaps, this lineage also has the opportunity to stand out

The philosopher's stone thrown out by Rong Kaixuan did not fall to the ground, but was steadily caught in mid-air by a middle-aged man.

A slight shock coursed through his heart, and Rong Kaixuan immediately threw away the Spirit Tester. He had a strong feeling that if he continued to hold this object, the turbulent energy he had painstakingly restrained within his mind would break free like a wild beast escaping from its cage, all rushing into it.

Rong Kaixuan was momentarily taken aback; although he could not fathom why this person's attitude had changed so rapidly, he still quickened his pace to catch up.

Although he spoke words of complaint, his tone and expression revealed a sense of intimacy, showing no signs of genuine reproach.

Among all, his reaction is undoubtedly the fastest

"Enough. " The middle-aged man interrupted him with an impatient expression and said, "I understand, leave the person here, you all can go back."

Although he does not yet know the name of this middle-aged man, it is undoubtedly a relative from the family who could appear in this place

Rong Yiyang was already dumbfounded, looking completely at a loss.

The side door opened, and a middle-aged man poked his head out, glancing around and saying irritably, "Who is it, and what do you want?"

Although Rong Kaixuan immediately made every effort to restrain himself upon realizing the situation was unfavorable, it was still a step too late, allowing a trace of air to enter.

The intensity of the airflow within the Yintang area increases extremely slowly, and he simply cannot find a way to increase the quantity. However, now before him, there is an additional option.

Oh, the Trial Hall?" The middle-aged man's expression improved slightly as his gaze shifted to the clearly youngest among the three, Rong Kaixuan, and he asked, "Have you found any promising candidates with the talent of a spiritual practitioner?

Hmph. The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he said, "What status does the clan elder have? How could you possibly meet him at your whim?" He glared, gestured to Rong Kaixuan, and said, "You, come in. I will take you to meet the duty spirit master."

For Rong Yiyang, the clan elders are figures of great stature, seemingly unreachable. It is usually quite difficult for him to even encounter one, yet now, these individuals are actually stirring the clan elders for the sake of triumph.

Subsequently, this philosopher's stone radiated a brilliant light

Finally, they arrived at a vast courtyard

He had never imagined that his son would undergo such a dramatic turn of events in the trial hall

It seems that the status of the mourning hall is much higher than that of the inner disciples.

His own father was submissive in front of Rong Jieming and Rong Yide, fearing to offend them. However, upon arriving at this place, the two of them were not even qualified to enter.

At that moment, the strange airflow at his forehead began to flow uncontrollably

At the moment when Rong Kaixuan threw the touchstone out, the brilliance on the stone suddenly vanished. What surprised him even more was that a familiar force unexpectedly returned from within the touchstone to his Yintang.

Rong Jieming nodded repeatedly and said, "Indeed."

That was the power he had just released from the Yintang. This power unexpectedly returned after making a round in the touchstone. Moreover, he also discovered that this power was slightly stronger than when it initially left.

Rong Kaixuan nodded half-understanding, yet no longer inquired further

However, at this very moment, looking at Rong Yide's appearance, one could not help but wish to become as close as brothers with him, leaving him both flattered and astonished

Rong Yide and He - Tu - Book Rong Jieming exchanged glances; they had personally accompanied him here. However, if they wanted to meet the clan elder to seek credit, being dismissed with just a couple of sentences would surely make them the subject of ridicule.

Bending slightly at the waist, Rong Yiyang said: "So it is Brother Yi De San, I truly apologize for the oversight"

The middle-aged man welcomed Rong Kaixuan into the room, and his face immediately transformed, displaying a harmonious smile as he said, "What should I call you, young man?"

Triumph, the mortuary is not like an ordinary place; exercise caution upon your entry

Rong Yide laughed heartily and turned to say, "Brother Yiyang, right? Haha, you have a good son."

Rong Jieming eagerly said: "This spirit hall is a place for the family spirit practitioners to cultivate. Hehe, as long as you enter the spirit hall, you will surely become a spirit practitioner, and then you will be prosperous." His tone was filled with unabashed envy, as if spirit practitioners were truly remarkable individuals

"Grandpa Ming, Uncle De, what exactly is a funeral parlor?" he asked curiously

The younger generation, Rong Kaixuan

His actions shattered the silence within the Hall of Testimony, and the crowd turned to look at Rong Kaixuan as if awakening from a dream. However, this time, the gazes of the crowd were markedly different from before

As Rong Kaixuan slightly squinted his eyes, he suddenly discovered something that left him extremely surprised and somewhat at a loss, just as he was concentrating his mind on the piece of jade as per Rong Jieming's instructions.

On the main road, Rong Jieming and Rong Yide were leading the way while quietly and impatiently giving instructions to each other

The sight of that enormous black iron gate evokes a sense of awe

Those who can be referred to as clan elders are undoubtedly the most distinguished individuals within the family. It can be said that beneath the clan leader, there are the clan elders.

Rong Yiyang's body suddenly shuddered, and he looked up in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief

This courtyard is truly the innermost part of the inner city, with its towering walls resembling iron gates that completely separate everything within from the outside world

At the moment when the light converged, he immediately leaped out and caught the philosopher's stone that had been thrown into the air

Rong Kaixuan smiled sheepishly and said, "Grandpa Ming, I was overreacting." He bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Thank you, uncle"

Then the middle-aged man laughed heartily and said: "You must be Kaixuan, the third in the family, known as Uncle San or Uncle De at home."

Although it was merely a trivial hint, it had already filled him with a mix of surprise and joy

Rong Kaixuan was momentarily taken aback and replied honestly, "Uncle De."

It was as if they were drawn by some mysterious substance within the jade, as these air currents unexpectedly penetrated the space between the eyebrows and surged towards the spiritual tester.

If previously their eyes were filled with disdain and contempt, at this moment, the expressions in these people's eyes have transformed into surprise, shock, envy, and a subtle hint of flattery and appeasement

Rong Kaixuan is merely an inexperienced young man, and he has long been confused by the attitudes of these people, who are deferential at first and then obsequious. At this moment, the sense of humiliation in his heart has dissipated, replaced instead by a feeling of unease.

"That's right, I'll wait for you to come out." Rong Jieming nodded emphatically and said without hesitation

Cough, cough, brother, please do us a favor. Rong Yide said with a smile: We have come here to request an audience with the clan elder who is presiding over the memorial hall

Exchanging a glance, Rong Yide lowered his voice and said helplessly: "Kaixuan, you go in with him. Sigh, the two of us will wait for you here."
