Chapter 57: Chu Gui, the Chen family’s first guest (seeking for further reading)
It wasn’t until the next day that the sky brightened, and Chen Lingcai and Chu Gui carefully opened the door, looked through the crack in the door and looked towards the street.
The streets were deserted and all the yards were closed.
In just one night, the entire city suffered huge damage and was in a mess.
There is a faint smell of blood in the air.
Looking around, one can still vaguely see corpses lying on the streets not far away.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ling was frightened and felt lucky.
Fortunately, my home was not affected.
After confirming that the war was over, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fellow Daoist Chu, it seems that the battle is over, you can go home with peace of mind!”
Chen Ling said in a low voice.
When Chu Gui heard this, his face was startled, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Fellow Taoist Chen, my home has been destroyed a long time ago. I dare not go there at this moment. I must ask fellow Taoist to take me in for a few days. I will pay you whatever it takes. I’m willing to pay!”
Now that the city is in chaos, it’s not safe for him to go anywhere.
And Chen Ling's place is guarded by the second-level puppet monster. After last night's test, it is undoubtedly the safest place!
“This?”
The corner of Chen Ling's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Chu Gui to say such a thing. After thinking about it, he didn't say anything more. He just acted as a good person and did it to the end.
Close the door and the two of them returned to the hall.
It has entered late autumn, and the early morning sun shines with warm orange-yellow light, which fills the entire hall through the patio.
The family sat around the hall, and their minds that had been tense all night relaxed, and the hall was filled with a relaxed and warm atmosphere.
Chu Gui was also very knowledgeable. When he saw He Yunxiu and the three of them, who were all younger siblings, he called them affectionately and presented them with a bottle of Heqi Pill with a single grain pattern.
The alchemist is really rich!
He gave away four bottles of Yidan pattern Heqi pill at once without blinking an eye.
The price of Yidanwen's Heqi Pill is also very high. A bottle of three pills will cost more than 100 low-grade spiritual stones.
Looking at Chen Ling, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Among the hundreds of practicing arts, alchemy masters can be said to be the most profitable!
How could he be like me, working day and night to refine weapons, and now he could barely make enough food and clothing!
"Fellow Daoist Chu, you and I are neighbors. It is natural to take care of each other. There is no need to be so polite!"
When Chu Gui gave the elixir to He Yunxiu, He Yunxiu hurriedly declined. road.
"Hey, brother and sister, don't be polite to me. This is all made by me. It's not worth much. If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me!"
Chu Gui said with a righteous expression.
As long as you can save your own life, these bottles of pills are nothing!
He Yunxiu had no idea for a moment and couldn't help but look at Chen Ling.
“Since Fellow Daoist Chu is so polite, just accept it!” Chen Ling said with a smile.
He Yunxiu reluctantly put away the pills, and then went to make breakfast for everyone with Qin Yelian.
After a while, the steaming hot porridge and steamed buns were served.
After finishing the meal, Chen Ling asked his wives and concubines to tidy up, and left Fangshi after he contacted Shen Zhen.
"Uncle Shen, how is the situation over there? Can you leave Fangshi today?"
Sitting in the main seat in the hall, Chen Ling took out the transmission note and sent it to Shen Zhen.
I hope last night’s battle did not have much impact on the Qin family!
"Chen Ling, are everyone else in the family okay?"
"All the monks left behind by the Qin family participated in the battle last night, and there were a lot of casualties. I have finished handling the matters here, and then go over there!"
After a while, the transmission note vibrated, and Shen Zhenlue sounded. With a husky voice.
"Everyone in the family is fine. Thank you, Uncle Shen. I'm thinking about you!" Chen Ling sent a message.
Then put away the transmission charm. His brows furrowed slightly, and from Shen Zhen's tone, the casualties of the Qin family this time were not small!
Although it is not safe outside now, we still have to leave Fangshi during the day.
At night, it may be even more dangerous!
Then he poured a cup of spiritual tea for Chu Gui and reminded with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chu, the next family will move out of Fangshi soon. What are your plans then!"
< br>The implication is that an order to expel guests is naturally issued.
"Hey!" Chu Gui took the spirit tea, glanced at Chen Ling, and sighed helplessly. He suddenly felt sad and said with tears, "fellow Daoist Chen, in this world, I still can't Where can I go?”
"I hope fellow Daoist Chen will let me follow you to Qin's house. These two bottles of Yidan pattern Heqi pills will be my reward!"
"When everything settles down, I will be rewarded with more pills!"
Chen Ling was slightly stunned. On the one hand, he did not expect that Chu Gui, a grown man, would cry whenever he wanted to. On the other hand, he did not expect that he would have so many Yidan pattern Aiki pills in his hand.
It can be seen that this person's alchemy skills are quite interesting.
“Forget it, I won’t lose anything by taking him to the Qin family, not to mention I can earn a few bottles of pills!”
Chen Ling thought to himself.
[Tip: Persuade the alchemist in front of you to become the first guest of the Chen family, and you will get 20 incense points! 】
At this time, a prompt column appeared on the panel.
Chen Ling's eyes narrowed, he was not ready to establish family power yet.
These days, in addition to changes in the market, bring unpredictable risks.
He can accept everything else.
Marrying more wives and having children is the right way to gain incense value.
Developing Keqing seems to be a bit troublesome!
However, Chu Gui came to the door automatically and was an alchemist. This situation was another matter.
I thought for a while and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chu, look at my family. They consume a lot of elixirs in a month. We are short of someone who can refine the elixirs. Are you willing to be mine?" Guest of the Chen family, please refine the elixir for my Chen family.”
"In terms of treatment, I will certainly not treat you badly, and in terms of safety, it is absolutely guaranteed!"
Let's draw a big pie for him first!
Of course, he also understands that in the eyes of people like Chu Gui, safety is often more important than treatment.
Although Chu Gui has a smooth personality, he is even more greedy for life and afraid of death.
If he had not seen Chen Ling's second-level puppet, he would definitely not agree to Chen Ling's request.
But now, he couldn't get it.
Currently, he has nowhere else to go.
If you continue to stay in Fangshi, you might be killed at night!
Following Chen Ling, the safety is more or less guaranteed.
Last night was the best illustration!
"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Chen, I will be the guest of the Chen family from now on!" Chu Gui said hurriedly, clasping his fists.
"Okay!" Chen Ling's face was filled with joy. He glanced over and saw that with Chu Gui's agreement, the family progress bar on the panel changed.
[Family progress: Successfully conquered the first-level top alchemist Chu Gui, the first guest, and obtained 20 incense points. 】
Chen Ling did not expect that he would pick up a guest who was an alchemist so easily.
Then he asked Chu Gui about his personal situation.
Soon I learned from Chu Gui that Chu Gui was actually at the eighth level of Qi training, a genuine late-stage Qi training monk.
He was originally the legitimate son of an alchemy family, but an accident suddenly struck him. His family was wiped out more than ten years ago. He was lucky enough to escape with his life. In order to avoid pursuit, he could only follow the land reclamation and came here Yunmeng Zenan Region.
Brothers! Please remember to read it! The world background has just unfolded!
