Chapter 6·The Secret of Martial Spirits and the Seven Absolute Flowers of Jade Phosphorus (Part 1)
The place where the Chen family lives is the Chen Mansion, which was built hundreds of years ago when Biluo City was just established and the head of the Chen family became the city lord. Although it is located in the center of the city, it still covers a large area, covering an area of nearly a hundred acres. It is roughly equivalent to the size of seven or eight large football fields in Chen Ming's previous life. It can be said that one-third of the city center belongs to the Chen family.
The Chen Mansion was the product of the original head of the family who used power for personal gain. However, because the number of people in the Chen family was too small, the place was too big to take care of, and various problems were prone to occur. Later, the head of the family had to change the house bit by bit and divide the streets into streets for rent. However, even so, the remaining area of the Chen family was still very large for the number of clan members, and could even be used to create some different mimicry training grounds. .
And because it has been in business for hundreds of years, the remaining areas have been reinforced and maintained dozens of times. The entire Chen Mansion is not so much a mansion as a fortress standing in the city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. , there is even a small market inside.
There are thousands of servants, women and children, and they have hidden spears, swords, bows, crossbows and armor. There are twists and turns of underground secret passages that lead to everywhere inside and outside the city. There are independent water sources in the city and small fields for farming. A large amount of grain and grass are stored in the granary, and poultry and war horses are raised.
All the city lords of Biluo City would have a headache when they saw the Chen family. Generally, outsiders passing by think that the Chen family is a city within a city. This is also one of the important reasons why all the forces want to take a bite of the Chen family, but no one dares to open their mouths.
This is in Biluo City, a place with poor mountains and rivers. If it were placed in other big cities, and the Chen family didn't have a big shot like a titled Douluo, they would have been confiscated and exterminated long ago.
Chen Ming's second uncle held Chen Ming in his arms and followed Chen Ming's grandfather around the Chen Mansion. After passing through several organs and secret doors, they came to a secret room under the Chen family. There are several rows of tables and chairs made of dark wood in the secret room, which was obviously a place used by the Chen family for secret conversations.
There is a row of oil lamps hanging on the wall of the secret room. They were oil lamps made by the ancestors of the Chen family using the fat of deep-sea cetacean soul beasts. They burn smokeless and odorless, and a small lamp of lamp oil can be lit for a long time. The Chen family has not replenished oil for a hundred years. When Chen Ming was a child, he thought that the oil lamps on the wall were burning whale gum, and he felt distressed for a long time. Later he realized that it was actually not the same thing.
After lighting all the oil lamps, Chen Ming's grandfather Chen Shijie sat at the head of the secret room, and then motioned for his second son Chen Tianyun and Chen Ming to sit on either side of him.
Just when Chen Ming was going to sit on the right side of his grandfather as a habit, his second uncle Chen Tianyun reached out to stop Chen Ming, put him on the left side of Chen Shijie, and sat on the right side himself.
Although Douluo Continent lacks a lot of allusions and the like, it surprisingly has a lot in common with the world in Chen Ming's previous life. For example, in this world, the left is respected. With Chen Ming's status and seniority, he can usually sit on the right because no one else competes with him, and he has never been able to sit on the left.
Seeing his second son's actions, Chen Shijie was a little puzzled, but he also had some guesses in his heart. He did not stop Chen Tianyun's actions, but nodded slightly and allowed Chen Ming to sit down.
"Father, Xiao Ming's awakening of martial spirit went very smoothly today!"
"He awakened the Emerald Scorpion with innate fifth-level soul power."
Chen Tianyun did not say other irrelevant things, but directly stated the key to the matter. After hearing that Chen Ming had awakened the fifth level of innate soul power, Chen Shijie's expression was startled, and then turned into ecstasy.
"Congenital Level 5? Is there still hope for our family?"
"What is a turning point? Innate level five...isn't particularly high?" Chen Ming couldn't understand why his grandfather was so excited. Although the level of innate soul power of the Chen family is a problem, I am not innately full of soul power, so why am I so excited?
"Xiao Ming, you don't understand. What you see is only superficial. In fact, you have never been clear about the Chen family's problems before."
Chen Shijie waved his hand, and his originally excited expression became a little depressed.
"Although we usually wait until the family members grow up before we consider telling this secret, you are naturally smart and have innate fifth-level soul power, so we must tell you about the family's problems now."
"You should know that our Chen family actually became a nobility through military merit in the first place, right?"
"Our ancestor, Chen Ergou, was a child from an ordinary family. By luck, he awakened the mutant martial spirit Jade Scorpion and innate soul power up to level seven."
"At that time, a local war broke out between the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Chen Er, the ancestor of the Chen family, chose to join the army after becoming a Soul Lord. Twenty years later, the war ended, and the ancestor was in the army. He became a Soul King and was named a hereditary earl because of his accumulated merits.”
"This is something that everyone in the family knows, but in fact there is something behind it that no one knows."
"After the war, because he had saved some noble people on the battlefield, our ancestors were fortunate enough to enter the royal treasury during the reward period, and were allowed to select some treasures that would not normally appear in the outside world."
"During that selection process, the ancestors discovered a treasure that is as precious as a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone to a poison soul master...maybe even more precious."
"What treasure?" As soon as he heard the treasure, Chen Ming's eyes immediately lit up and he couldn't help but ask.
"That's the seed of a Seven-Jue Phosphorus Flower." As if he was afraid that Chen Ming wouldn't know what the Seven-Jue Phosphorus Flower was, Chen Shijie touched his beard and then explained.

"The Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower is an extremely powerful poison, a very rare plant-like soul beast. Among plants, there is no existence more violently toxic than this plant. Among beast-like soul beasts, there are only a few Some legendary level soul beasts should be able to surpass it.”
"This plant is extremely rare. It is equivalent to the status of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear among ordinary soul beasts, and even slightly exceeds it."
"This kind of poison can easily corrode gold and iron and melt soul beasts. It is much higher than the five poisons of jade phosphorus."
"Although the Emerald Scorpion inherited from our family is a beast-like martial spirit and is not completely compatible with the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers, the quality of this kind of spirit beast is so high that even if it is discounted, ordinary spirit beasts cannot catch up with it. Yes, once it can be absorbed, even if it is just a year A soul ring that has just exceeded a hundred years is more effective than 90% of a thousand-year soul ring. If the poison of the Seven Absolute Phosphorus Flowers can be obtained, the quality of the Emerald Scorpion Spirit may even reach that of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Level.”
