Chapter 184 Family Changes and the Search for the Second-Level Ultimate Spiritual Veins
One autumn rain and one cold!
Continuous autumn rain, falling and falling!
It makes people feel the slightest chill!
This is not a good season to open up wasteland, but now the arrow is on the string and it has to be launched!
Otherwise, it will be winter in two months.
Then we have to wait until next year!
But with the current situation, Chen Ling did not want to drag it out.
The three months of winter will have a big impact on Li Yourong and Shen Ling's cultivation!
However, because Chen Ling was refining the third-level golden elixir puppet, his soul was greatly consumed, so he was delayed for a few days.
As for the Chen family's land reclamation team, they have already set off first.
Led by Li Yourong, assisted by Meng Ping and Feng Jia!
Although it is cultivation, there are still a few things to be busy with.
The first thing is to refine the Heavenly Fire Thunder.
The Heavenly Fire Thunder requires a sixth-level spiritual restraint. Among the other four second-level weapon refiners in the family, only Zhou Zhen can currently refine it.
But its success rate is not high, and the Skyfire liquid required for Skyfire Thunder is not only precious, but also hard to find.
Cannot afford waste.
So you still have to refine it yourself and be careful!
The second thing is to prepare some elixirs. After all, every time we open up wasteland, it will last for one or two months, and there is also a huge demand for elixirs!
But fortunately, the golden elixir alchemist puppet has been successfully refined.
This puppet's alchemy level has also reached the third level.
There is no big problem in refining some second-level elixirs, and the success rate is also very high.
This greatly relieved his pressure!
Today, the family has close to a hundred monks stationed in Heihe Col and Huoyan Valley.
The spiritual energy in these two places is thin, and they can only rely on pills to maintain their cultivation.
At present, in the family, in addition to himself, there are also Qin Wumei, Chu Gui and another new second-level alchemy master Zhao Ye.
The refined elixir cannot meet the needs of the family monks.
In addition, elixirs are also a big problem. Although the Fang family grows many types of elixirs, most of them are less than a hundred years old.
It is mainly used to refine first-order elixirs.
There are relatively few second-level elixirs.
In order to cope with the unexpected that may occur at any time.
Once the Blood Sacrifice Array is deployed by the Xueyou Sect, both the Metallurgical Alliance and the Qingyang Sect will most likely be doomed!
The prices of many supplies may then skyrocket.
With the current situation of the family, the spiritual rice and ore can still be preserved stably.
But the price of the second-level elixir will inevitably increase significantly.
Although he still had some on hand, it was far from enough.
So it was decided to let Shen Zhen go to Danmeng to buy a batch of second-level elixirs.
·······.
After the rustling autumn rain, white clouds float in the sky!
There is a moist smell in the air!
Afternoon.
The children went back to their rooms to take a nap.
Fang Ying put away the pots and pans.
Fang Luo swept the ground!
Chen Ling made a cup of spiritual tea, sat on a wicker chair, and let his thoughts go.
From time to time, I can hear the sounds of my wives and concubines coaxing their children to sleep!
"Husband, I have something to discuss with you!"
At this time Xie Maner came over and said with a smile.
At this moment, Xie Maner's lower abdomen has obviously bulged. She is wearing a loose plain robe, and her hair on the temples is blowing in the breeze, revealing a different kind of style.
While talking, he sat down on another wicker chair next to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling picked up the cup on the desk, poured her a cup of tea, and said distressedly, "Now that the family is on the right track, there is no need to work so hard!"
Nowadays, Xie Maner is still handling most of the family affairs. As a hands-off shopkeeper, I don't seem to be very kind.
Xie Maner took a sip of tea, looked forward to it, and said slowly, "This big family has no time to spare!"
"Yesterday, my brother came to see me , inform our clan members Xie Zhenghong and Xie Guangxian that they have reached the foundation building stage!"
"Both of them have high-grade spiritual roots and have good qualifications. Unfortunately, the Xie family has declined, and it has been difficult to buy for them these years! Foundation Building Pill.”
"Originally, my grandfather wanted them to go to the Fire Rock Valley to garrison and hone their character."
"But after three months, their cultivation was not advancing but retreating."
"They came back as a last resort. The family is ready to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the contribution value is not enough."
"So, I would like to discuss with you whether I can use my contribution value to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill."< br>
Chen Ling pondered for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile, "I happen to have two extra Foundation Establishment Pills on me, so I will give them to them first. When they have contributed enough, I will make up for them!"
Having two more foundation-building monks in the family is also a good thing for him!
It represents another improvement in family strength.
And Xie Maner has grown up with his grandfather since he was a child, and he also cares deeply about the Xie family. Naturally, he wants to help him with this matter!
“Thank you, husband!” Xie Maner’s face suddenly relaxed a lot after hearing this.
The Chen family is such a large family. As the main manager, she naturally wants to keep a bowl of water balanced and cannot be tilted.
Otherwise it will be difficult to lead the team in the future!
"Husband, there are now twenty-one foundation-building monks in the family, and the supply of spiritual energy here can no longer keep up, so the land reclamation matter must be completed as soon as possible!"
Xie Maner continued. .
The Chen family's fortune is improving.
After careful calculation, if the puppets and spiritual pets in Chen Ling's hands are included, as well as Hu Waner's spiritual beasts, the actual combat power of the Chen family is now no less than that of the ordinary Jindan family.
Among them, Chen Ling's combat power has even surpassed that of Jindan Yiji, and Li Yourong's combat power is not lower than that of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen.
If Wang Yun stays in the Chen family in the future, it will be even more terrifying!
This kind of lineup, even in the original Haoguang Sect, there is no foundation-building family that can compare.
And with the current situation, the Chen family will definitely usher in another period of rapid development.
Now, this spiritual vein is undoubtedly the biggest constraint.
Therefore, she knew in her heart that in just three years, by chance, the family's power had continued to multiply.
The backup resources can no longer keep up.
To maintain this rapid development in the future, we only need to continue to expand outward!
The little Chenjia'ao can no longer accommodate so many foundation-building monks!
And among the family’s reserve forces, there are seven or eight monks who are at the ninth level of Qi training!
Unlike other foundation-building families, purchasing a foundation-building pill may require several years of accumulation.
Chen Ling only needs to buy the materials and refine them himself, which also saves a lot of resources!
Chen Ling nodded and chatted with Xie Maner about the changes in the family over the years!
Now the family has established a system with war boats as its main industry.
And generally speaking, with the addition of several second-level weapon refiners, all aspects of the process have gradually stabilized and improved.
Only in the recent period, due to the rampant demonic cultivators, have sales been booming.
You must know that the price of an ordinary medium-sized war boat is hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, which is something that ordinary foundation-building families can afford!
Now his two main customers, the Star Sword Sect and the Shen family, have enough war boats.
The rest is the bow ordered by Wanbaolou and the bow ordered by the Zhou family, a family of foundation builders.
There is no other business for the time being, so we have to open up bigger sales channels next.
Judging from the current situation, the Hundred Beast Sect has large spiritual beasts such as fire beasts, so there is no need to use war boats.
Except for the Shen family in the Suiyun Sword Sect, other families, because of their relationship with the Guo family, will naturally not buy the Chen family’s war boat.
Needless to say, Qingyang Sect and Yeqi League.
So the next sales channel can only be to open up to Danmeng and Haoguang Sect!
Xie Maner has also made arrangements at the same time, asking her brother Xie Jin to go to Haoguang Sect to open up trade routes; Shen Zhen to go to Danmeng.
As for the family's other industries, the output of the spiritual medicine garden, mines, spiritual plant garden, spiritual beast garden, shops and other industries are currently in a stable state.
In addition, with the family’s population internship incentive policy, the population has also increased significantly, and now it has exceeded 12,000 people.
The soil in Chenjia'ao is fertile and suitable for growing various crops.
Most members of the Fang family also have unique skills in planting.
So for mortals, there is no shortage of food.
All kinds of grains, as well as big black fish from Heihe Col, plus their own cattle and sheep.
More than 10,000 people can be self-sufficient!
Although the incense value provided by family resources and population is currently far less than the incense value of one's own wives, concubines, and heirs.
But after all, it will continue to improve in the future, so Chen Ling also plans to increase investment.
·······.
Early the next morning, the Chen family welcomed another unexpected guest, Shen Ru, a foundation-building Dzogchen sword cultivator.
Shen Ling's biological father, because he was stationed at a mine in Suiyun Sword Sect, had some accidents recently and was unable to make it to Shen Ling's wedding banquet.
I came here in a hurry today.
"Father, this is Chen Ling, my Taoist companion!" In the Chen family hall, Shen Ling introduced to Shen Ru with a serious face.
“Greetings to my father-in-law!” Chen Ling also hurriedly raised his hands and saluted!
Although he has married eleven wives, he only has two father-in-laws, Chu Yu and Hu Waner.
Chuxiong is now stationed in Heihe Au all year round.
Hu Waner's parents, on the other hand, raise spiritual beasts in the Perennial Beast Sect and have never been to the Chen family.
Shen Ru is the second father-in-law to come to the Chen family.
He looks to be in his forties or fifties. He is dressed in a blue Confucian robe. He has an elegant appearance and easy-going speech!
Looking at Chen Ling, he also had a happy smile on his face, "Okay! The Chen family is so impressive, they are worthy of Ling'er!"
When he heard about Shen Ling's marriage, he was quite worried. dissatisfied.
After all, Shen Ling is the sword cultivator of the Shen family who is most likely to achieve the golden elixir, and Shen Yunhe actually forced her to marry the head of a small family under the pressure of the Guo family.
How did he accept this!
But seeing the current situation of the Chen family with my own eyes, I immediately changed my mind.
He said with a smile on his face, "Chen Ling, Ling'er has a very sharp temperament. You have to be more tolerant when we get along in the future!"
Chen Ling naturally knew that this was just what he said casually. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law!"
Shen Ling's pretty face blushed slightly and said, "Father, I forgot to tell you that Chen Ling is not only a third-level weapon refiner, but also a second-level high-level alchemist. !”
“In the future, you may be able to refine the Void Transformation Pill.”
“You don’t have to stay in the Zongmen Mine for many years in exchange for the Void Transformation Pill!”
Shen Ru shook his head and smiled helplessly, "How can it be so easy to refine the Void Transformation Pill?"
"Even in the current Dan Alliance, there are only a handful of monks who can refine the Void Transformation Pill. !”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was still a little shocked. Among all the arts, alchemy is the most difficult. Not only does it require sufficient talent, but it also consumes the most resources. To become a second-level alchemist, you will undoubtedly need to invest a lot of resources.
And Chen Ling was not only a third-level weapon refiner but also a second-level high-level alchemist, which was far beyond his expectation!
The main reason why I was satisfied with Chen Ling before was that Chen Ling's cultivation and family background were completely worthy of Shen Ling, and he would be able to provide her with sufficient training resources in the future.
But Shen Ling’s words made him realize Chen Ling’s amazing potential!
"If the father-in-law is willing to come to the Chen family, within three years, the son-in-law will definitely give him the Void Transformation Pill!"
Chen Ling suddenly said solemnly.
If it were the past, he would never have made such a promise.
But Shen Ru is his father-in-law, and he is also a foundation-building Dzogchen sword cultivator.
If you can join the Chen family, it will definitely improve the Chen family's combat power.
"Give me the Void Transformation Pill within three years?"
Shen Ru glanced at Chen Ling with a look of doubt on his face.
He is also a well-informed person, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to refine the Void Transformation Pill!
But Chen Ling is already a third-level weapon refiner and a second-level high-level alchemy master. This talent is obvious here.
In addition, he can experience such a large family, so he will not talk nonsense!
I can’t help but feel a little moved!
My current mission is to guard the lapis lazuli vein in Qinghe Oasis for ten years.
In the past ten years, he was able to obtain three thousand contribution points, but in exchange for a Void Transformation Pill, he needed ten thousand contribution points.
And it may not be possible to exchange it.
We also want to see if Shi Zongmen has purchased it!
It has been many years since he entered the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Although he is just over a hundred years old, he does not want to waste away like this.
After all, the earlier the golden elixir is condensed, the better.
Even if you cannot survive the thunderstorm safely the first time, there will be opportunities later!
Chen Ling seemed to notice Shen Ru's hesitation, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "To be honest with my father-in-law, my son-in-law is still a third-level puppet master, and he just made a third-level puppet alchemist a while ago!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ling sent a thought to the alchemist puppet who was refining alchemy in the alchemy room.
These days, the puppet is sent by him to the alchemy hall to refine the elixir, and at the same time assists Chu Gui in training the family alchemist!
His alchemy level will definitely be of great help to Chu Gui!
What?
When Shen Ru heard this, his expression couldn't help but froze, and then he looked at Chen Ling in shock. Even though he was well-informed, he was also shocked by Chen Ling's words!
Level 3 weapon refiner!
Level 3 Puppet Master!
Second-level high-grade alchemist!
This is actually the same person.
And not yet forty years old.
With such a terrifying talent, even the talented disciples of Lan Yue Sect are probably nothing more than this!
If this is the case, then my daughter really made the right choice this time!
While he was thinking.
A white figure walked in outside the door.
I saw a handsome middle-aged man bowing to Chen Ling and saying respectfully, "What are your orders, master?"
It was Chen Ling's golden elixir alchemist puppet!
Chen Ling waved his hand and motioned for him to wait aside!
The alchemist puppet looked straight away and stood beside Chen Ling with a solemn expression.
“This!”
Shen Ru stared at the puppet in shock, and then immediately looked at Chen Ling with an expression of great surprise.
He could clearly feel the aura of this puppet that was no less than that of a second-level Golden Core monk.
He also knew in his heart what it meant to be able to refine a golden elixir puppet alchemist!
In other words, the Chen family today is as powerful as the Jindan family!
Just this golden elixir puppet shows the terrifying strength behind the Chen family!
Shen Ling also had a look of surprise on her face. She had just married into the Chen family, and she still didn't know the combat power of the puppet in Chen Ling's hands!
"Zhang-in-law, this is my son-in-law's golden elixir puppet!" Chen Ling said while the iron was hot.
He also worked hard to retain Shen Ru!
Looking at the golden elixir puppet, Shen Ru glanced at Shen Ling who looked expectant. He suddenly made a decision in his heart and said in a deep voice, "This time the Guo family bullied me, Shen Ru, too much!"
"Such a worthy son-in-law is so sincere, then I will go back and apologize to the sect before coming to the Chen family!"
Now Shen Ru saw Chen Ling as a father-in-law and a son-in-law, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Shen Ling also looked cheerful. Originally, she was determined to marry Chen Ling and was worried that her father would be dissatisfied.
It is inevitable to feel a little uneasy, but now I see that my father is not only satisfied with Chen Ling, but also willing to stay in the Chen family.
This is something she completely unexpected!
Next, Shen Ru chatted with Shen Ling about family matters for a while.
Ask her about her living habits, etc.!
·······.
A few days passed in a hurry.
Chen Ling's soul has almost recovered, and he has refined 16 sky fire thunders. In addition to the dozen or so that the disciples of the war hall took away before departure, more than 30 sky fire thunders can be produced as long as they are not encountered. Level 3 monsters are enough!
As for elixirs, we have also prepared some!
"Sect Master, I will go to the wasteland tomorrow. Will you go with me or stay in Chenjia'ao?"
On this day, after dinner, Chen Ling asked Wang Yun with a smile.
After this period of time, Wang Yun's internal injuries recovered faster than expected.
Most of the damaged meridians have been repaired.
It is estimated that he will be able to fully recover after using the Flame of All Souls to warm him up for half a month.
The spiritual energy in the air sea is also slowly recovering!
Wang Yun personally poured a cup of spiritual tea for Chen Ling, and sighed softly, "With the current situation, I can only strive to restore my cultivation as soon as possible, and I can only go with you!"
Now her belly has obviously bulged, and with her complete loss of cultivation, she looks no different from an ordinary housewife.
During this period of time in the Chen family, she lived a completely human life for several months.
For one day, except for Chen Ling, he healed his injuries.
The rest of the time, either playing with the children or going to the mortal market on the third floor with He Yunxiu to buy things!
There is no need to practice or worry about the sect!
The whole mentality is completely different from when I came here.
No more edges and corners!
Chen Ling naturally hopes that Wang Yun can raise her baby in the Chen family with peace of mind.
But he was afraid of delaying her injury, so he still asked her opinion.
Seeing Wang Yun’s answer, it’s hard to say anything else!
“Recently, the Lan Yue Sect increased the amount of tribute paid by our Star Sword Sect by 10%, but with the rampant demonic cultivators, no loose cultivators have come to open up wasteland so far this year.”
"The cracked gold mine is severely understaffed and the output is limited!"
"What do you think we should do now?"
Wang Yun took a sip of tea and said to Chen Ling in a rather helpless tone.
The tone is discussion!
Chen Ling couldn't help but frown slightly. From Wang Yun's mouth, he also learned that the cracked gold ore offered by Star Sword Sect and Lan Yue Sect every year was worth millions more.
But in the current situation, not to mention that when the demonic cultivators were raging, Lan Yue Sect did nothing.
Even if the Qingyang Sect secretly attacked Xingjian Zongfang City, they completely ignored it!
What is the reason?
“Hey!”
With a faint sigh in his heart, Chen Ling was speechless for a moment. It was not easy for him to say anything when it came to a behemoth like the Moon Sect!
For things like making offerings, you are spending money to buy peace!
But this is the situation now.
It seems that it is because Star Sword Sect has no backer in Lan Yue Sect!
After all, the offering of millions of spiritual stones a year is not a small sum.
Even the Nascent Soul cultivator was moved by it!
Seeing Wang Yun's helpless expression, Chen Ling thought for a while and suggested, "How about going to Man'er to discuss it?"
He knew very little about the situation of Lan Yue Sect. !
And if there is no fresh blood injected into the current situation of Star Sword Sect, it will be quite troublesome!
With Xie Man'er's ability and Qi-gazing skills, plus the fact that she comes from a golden elixir family, she is quite understanding of this situation!
Wang Yun nodded, now there is nothing she can do!
As the pregnancy progressed, she could clearly feel the breath of life in her body.
It also makes her feel more and more at ease with her current comfortable life!
Occasionally I think about not paying attention to the Star Sword Sect anymore!
After drinking the spiritual tea, Wang Yun walked towards Xie Maner's room.
Chen Lingjing sat on a wicker chair and looked at the stars in the sky. She was also curious in her heart. What good advice would Maner give to Wang Yun?
·······.
The next day, it was close to noon.
Chen Ling took Wang Yun and Shen Ling to the wasteland on the Fire Beast.
The family has Xie Maner, Hu Waner and others staying behind, so he has nothing to worry about.
"It should be the plain ahead! If we advance another dozen miles, we will be able to reach the destination of this wasteland reclamation!"
On the large back of the fire beast, the king Yun pointed to a plain area ahead and said to Chen Ling.
The evil spirit in this area is extremely thin.
Chen Lingguang could vaguely see the green grassland more than ten miles away with his naked eyes.
Maybe it’s because of Meng Ping’s so-called golden carp and pearl game.
Even though the distance was close to ten miles, Chen Ling still didn't feel the slightest breath of spiritual energy.
This spiritual vein seems to be buried very deep!
He even suspected that if Meng Ping had not known the existence of this spiritual vein in advance, he might not have been able to find this location.
Above the vast wasteland, the fire beast flapped its giant wings and soared.
A distance of more than ten miles, for a behemoth like it, could be reached in less than a quarter of an hour.
On the back, the faces of Wang Yun and Shen Lingqiao showed looks of anticipation.
It is good news for them if they can really develop a new second-level top-quality spiritual vein.
Two people are cultivating, one is building the foundation in the late stage, and the other is building the foundation of Dzogchen.
Nowadays, the concentration of the Chen family's spiritual energy cannot meet their cultivation needs!
Wang Yun, in particular, knew even more clearly that this expansion of the Chen family was extremely important to her personally and to the Star Sword Sect.
Last night she asked Xie Maner how the Star Sword Sect should face the current situation.
Xie Maner just smiled and answered her, letting her be Mrs. Chen with peace of mind, and the Star Sword Sect will naturally be able to turn the crisis around in the future!
Although she was dubious, there was no other way for the moment.
We can only follow the original plan and wait until we recover and give birth to a child before we make any plans!
As the fire beast landed, the scene on the ground gradually appeared before their eyes.
Although it is shrouded in a faint evil aura, there is a green grassland for hundreds of miles around, full of green trees and full of vitality.
There are also lakes and rivers intersecting.
As long as the evil spirits are removed, it will definitely be a livable oasis.
Moreover, it is surrounded by plain land, which is extremely deep and open, far from being comparable to today's Chenjia'ao.
As long as the second-level spiritual veins are stimulated, this is definitely a perfect place for family development!
At the same time, Chen Ling's consciousness swept down from the fire beast.
I soon discovered that an area of about ten miles had been cleared in a plain about three miles away.
The Chen family has already set up camp there!
There was a faint light of spiritual energy shining around, and it was obvious that the sealing armor had set up a magic circle.
“The speed is quite fast!”
Looking at the situation in front of him, Chen Ling couldn’t help but praise with satisfaction!
Then he controlled the mark of the beast.
The fire beast flapped its wings and rushed towards the camp!
