Nanshan County has three cities and 28 counties. It is the largest county in the Celestial Empire. It is connected to the endless mountains to the south and the frontier fortress to the north.

Due to its remote location and harsh environment, it was also the most backward county in the Celestial Empire. In addition, it was close to the frontier and fortress, and wars continued all year round. It was not very wealthy, and ordinary civilians were starving everywhere.

Nanshan County has three main cities, Nanshan City, Qingshan City and Huangshan City.

Among them, Nanshan City is the largest and Qingshan City is the richest. Each city is under the jurisdiction of the city lord and is responsible to the royal family.

The regulations of the Celestial Empire are very simple, which is the simplest enfeoffment system. The royal family enfeoffs land to lords and collects tribute from the lords on a regular basis.

The lords once again entrusted their territories to the nobles in the territory, and then collected various resources through taxes, allowing the major nobles and lords to set up armies in their territories, and all public security laws in the territories could be freely formulated.

In the final analysis, whoever has the biggest fist decides.

The lord of Nanshan City is Muchen's maternal grandfather and his mother's father. For Muchen, Nanshan City is the only safe place to go now.

I think back then, Muchen's father was an ordinary hunter from a small county under Nanshan City. If not for another unexpected encounter, Muchen's father might have always been an ordinary hunter.

Muchen also heard from his mother that his father was born in the bitter cold, and his family members died early. He grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. After having an adventure, he showed his prominence in Nanshan City and met his mother in an accident.

The Xiao family has always been a big noble in Nanshan City, with a very noble status. The status of the father and mother is very different, so it is impossible that he is Muchen's grandfather. He appreciated Muchen's father's talent and married his daughter to him, which made a good relationship possible.

Of course, the whole story is not as simple as it sounds, and Muchen's father also paid a lot.

Later, Muchen's father was recommended by the Xiao family and was given the opportunity to join the royal army to participate in the war. Only then did he achieve great military exploits and become the most prosperous Zhenshan palace.

The road from the imperial capital to Nanshan County is long, and with the tens of thousands of people from the Zhenshan Palace, even if they are traveling on thousands of miles of horses, it will be several months before they arrive at Nanshan City after traveling day and night.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Muchen did not continue to open up the chaotic space and heal his injuries in the past few months. Instead, he followed his mother's arrangements and took a good rest. Muchen's rapid recovery made Xiao's mother extremely happy.

Looking at her hometown in the distance, Xiao's mother supported Muchen and said, "Chen'er, look quickly, Nanshan City is ahead. Your grandpa is there. As long as we get to Nanshan City, we will be safe."

Muchen has met his grandfather several times. Muchen's grandfather is called Xiao Yuantu. He is a very kind old man. It is not easy to see his relatives alive.

Along the way, Muchen has encountered several assassinations. Although he survived them all safely, he is still worried.

In the distance, a burst of dust suddenly flew up, and a hundred-man cavalry rushed towards Muchen and others. Looking from a distance, the person leading the team was an old man with white hair.

When Xiao's mother saw the old man, she immediately shouted: "Father...Father."

When the old man approached, he immediately dismounted, glanced at Xiao's mother, and said: "Xiaoqing, just come back, just come back, don't say anything else, go home first."

Xiao's mother's eyes were moist at this time, and she said to Muchen, "Hurry, Chen'er, I've seen grandpa."

"Grandpa."

"Okay, okay, Chen'er is so old now, time flies so fast."

When relatives meet, it is natural to reminisce about the past, but this is not a good place to reminisce. Everyone hurried on and quickly entered Nanshan City.

Nanshan City is not as wealthy as Muchen imagined. It is full of low-rise houses and shabby wooden houses. The environment inside is very different from the imperial capital, just like the difference between the first-tier cities and the thirteenth-tier rural areas in the previous life.

Muchen is the lord of Nanshan County and already owns a very large mansion in Nanshan City, so there is no need to make any more arrangements. After traveling for many days, everyone needs to have a good rest after settling in.

Late at night, Muchen was lying on the bed, thinking about his future arrangements.

In the past few days, Muchen has truly felt the cruelty of the other world. He has experienced several assassinations. Once, the killer had already rushed in front of him. If not for Uncle Fu's protection, Muchen would have died countless times.

"Hey, it would be great if after traveling through time, I could be a wealthy prince in peace, cultivate fields, enjoy happiness, and have a few confidants. Why would I need to kill them all like this?"

"If I want to live and be free, I still need strength. Since God has given me the opportunity to be reborn in another world. If I am no longer as mediocre and boring as I was in my previous life, I will definitely make a comeback in Zhenshan Palace and regain its former glory."

His consciousness entered the chaotic space, looked at the fully mature sweet potatoes in the space, and said: "This sweet potato grows so fast, it will mature not long after it is planted, and the yield is very exaggerated. It has matured several batches. It's time to plant something else."

That’s it.”

It always makes people happy when they harvest.

Muchen didn't waste any time and directly recharged 2,000 gold coins, then opened up an acre of land again and planted a large amount of corn.

Because Ruomu needed to recuperate, he basically slept when he was full and ate when he woke up. Anyway, Mu Chen was taking advantage of him, so Ruomu didn't worry about not having anything to eat. His only complaint was that he only ate gold coins and didn't have enough energy, so he asked Muchen to get more.

Order some snacks.

As the chaotic space continues to extend, the energy of chaos overflows from the Dantian, and a warm current emerges from the Dantian, flowing through the limbs and bones. A comfortable coolness sweeps through the whole body at once, restoring all the injuries in the body, and the bones

, muscles, all hummed in pleasure at this moment.

Sure enough, every time the bastard space in Dantian is widened, a trace of chaotic energy will overflow. Just this little spiritual energy can quickly heal Muchen's body.

"Ah——A healthy body is so comfortable."

Muchen stood up, clenched his fists, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction as his body rejoiced due to recovery.

"Okay, the game is about to begin now. I must live a different life."

The next day, Xiao's mother and Qin Xue brought a doctor to diagnose and treat Muchen.

"Back to Madam, the prince's health is no longer serious. The damaged meridians have almost recovered, and his physical fitness is no different from ordinary people. The young master's physique is really rare. After suffering such a serious injury, he can recover within a few months.

It’s an absolute miracle.”

Hearing such an answer, Xiao's mother was naturally happy and said, "When will Chen'er's cultivation be restored?"

"This...this..."

Muchen: "Just tell me, I can accept it."

"The young master's Dantian has been completely broken, and you can't even feel the existence of Dantian at all. If you want to continue practicing, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, both Mrs. Xiao and Qin Xue felt a little sad in their hearts. Even Muchen, who was prepared, felt a little uncomfortable.

In this world, being unable to practice means that you are a useless person. No matter how high your status is, you will always be looked down upon by others.

Xiao's mother waved her hand and invited the doctor out, leaving only Qin Xue and Muchen in the room.

After hesitating, Xiao's mother said to Muchen: "Chen'er, mother is so anxious to bring you back from the imperial capital. In addition to avoiding trouble, there is another important reason."

"If there is any other reason, let mother tell me."

"Chen'er, the reason why there are many forces in the imperial capital that want to kill us is not only because they are afraid of the palace's strength and growth rate, but also because they want to rob my Mu family's treasures."

"Treasure? What mother is talking about is the family's inherited skill - Qianlong Jue."

Qianlong Jue is a family-inherited martial art of Zhenshan Prince's Mansion, and only the heirs of the family are qualified to practice it.

This technique is a divine technique in the true sense. If one is talented enough, one can even break through the divine martial realm and achieve the body of an immortal. It is recognized as one of the pinnacle techniques in the current empire.

"This is one reason. Our Mu family also has a treasure that even you don't know about."

As she said that, Mrs. Xiao took out an old-looking token from her waist. This token was neither copper nor iron, and had a weird appearance. The words on it were also strangely shaped, and it was also engraved with a picture and text that resembled a flame. It was definitely not what we have today.

It must be some years old.

"Mother, what is this token? It doesn't look strange."

"Chen'er, you should know that your father is an ordinary hunter from Nanshan City. How could he possess a god-level skill like Qianlong Jue? It is even less possible for him to emerge from the world with a dragon-slaying sword and achieve great military exploits."

"I heard my father talk about this. The Hidden Dragon Art and the Dragon-Slaying Sword were both acquired by my father from an unexpected encounter when he was young. There are many people in the imperial capital who know about this matter."

"The reason why your father was able to obtain adventures was because of this token. In fact, this token is the key to an ancient ruins. Your father also got this thing by chance and was very lucky to enter that place.

remains."

"That ruins should be a place used by ancient immortals to screen their disciples. Once you enter it, you will encounter various tests. If you can pass the test with your own ability, you will be rewarded. The ruins will be opened every three years.

Once, the reason why your father has such a level of cultivation at such a young age is because he entered the ruins many times and received many rewards. Hidden Dragon Art, Dragon Slaying Sword, and many elixirs were all obtained from there.

.”

"What, there is such a thing, doesn't it mean that as long as you have this token, you are equivalent to mastering a fairy family relic!" With this said, this token has really become extremely precious.

Qin Xue also suddenly realized, "No wonder, those people in the imperial capital are targeting us everywhere. They just like this token."

"No! Only your father and I knew this secret in the past. You were still young at that time, and we didn't want to tell you such secrets. Others were just guessing. After all, the speed of our Mu family's rise was too fast.

Well, they must be guessing what kind of incredible treasure we have in our hands. This time when I return to Nanshan City, I also want to try my luck at the ruins again to see if I can find a way to save Chen'er. After all, Chen'er was injured at that time.

too heavy."

"Mom, but now, my body has improved, but my Dantian cannot be repaired."

"That's why mother wanted to ask you if you are going to go to that ruins and try your luck."

"Is there really a way to repair Dantian in that place?"

"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Your father once took me to the ruins, but both I and your father could only wander around the outside. The further inside, the more difficult it becomes. Although it is not life-threatening, it is still a little bit difficult.

If you're not careful, you will be locked up there forever, and we don't dare to force it too hard."

"Only on the periphery, you can obtain god-level skills such as Qianlong Jue, so if you go deep into it, wouldn't it..."

"There is no doubt that there is definitely a secret realm left by immortals in ancient times. The treasures inside are definitely extraordinary. If there is a chance, we will definitely find a way to repair the damaged Dantian. Mother absolutely believes in this."

According to the secret records passed down from generation to generation in Tianyuan Continent, in the ancient times hundreds of millions of years ago, many immortals descended on this continent.

They have immortal immortal bodies, are transcendent, can move mountains and fill seas, and destroy heaven and earth.

In order to compete for the dominance of this continent, the immortals once had a war between gods and demons, and countless immortals perished as a result.

The mountains and rivers changed dramatically, and even the entire continent was divided into several pieces by huge forces. It was also because of this immortal war that the power of the laws of heaven and earth was destroyed on the continent, triggering a great natural disaster.

Three disasters came to the world and everything was destroyed. In order to avoid the natural disasters, the immortals had no choice but to flee the continent. After hundreds of millions of years, the Tianyuan Continent gradually recovered its strength and formed the current situation.

Although the immortals have left, the relics left by the immortals still remain on this continent. The skills, martial arts, and magical weapons left by the immortals have also become treasures that future generations are competing for.

Unexpectedly, the Mu family actually controls an immortal ruins. It is really shocking. If this news is leaked, I believe that the powerful people in the entire continent will get wind of it.

Thinking of this, Muchen felt a little sense of crisis in his heart. Muchen still knew the truth that a man is innocent and harbors a jade.

Without hesitation, Muchen said: "Mother, are there any dangers in that ruins?"

"Well, your father and I didn't go deep. We only searched on the periphery. The risk factor is not high."

"In this case, we must go. No matter what we get in the ruins, the situation will not be worse than now. If those people in the imperial capital still covet the treasures of my Mu family, then we must have enough power, otherwise,

It’s also a dead end.”

Xiao's mother did not hesitate and said: "It's okay. Today's Mu family has nothing that cannot be lost. Chen'er and Xiaoxue, you are our Mu family's last support."

"Chen'er, you can rest for a few more days. After mother has settled everyone, we will find an opportunity to go to the ruins."
