Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1679 "Sword Rain" - Leaves Bloom Green, Drizzle
"What method?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Our Jiang family’s cultivation system is different from other cultivation systems, but we don’t need to strictly follow our cultivation system when dealing with outsiders. Whether it’s the immortal cultivation system or the battle qi system, even if we don’t use it, others can use it,” Song Xue said.

“Indeed.” Jiang Chen shuddered and said, “This was my oversight. It seems we need to collect more martial arts techniques from various continents in the future.”

Different continents in the Fourth World have different cultivation systems, and the Jiang family's cultivation system is different. Those things were collected only as a reference and then stored in the family's martial arts pavilion.

However, if it is taken out and given to others to cultivate and serve the Jiang family, it would be a way to make use of waste.

As for whether these people will rebel against the Jiang family in the future, Jiang Chen doesn't care at all, because the Jiang family are all chosen ones.

Shi Yi and the others have very high talent for cultivation.

Jiang Chen even thought that the reason why Shi Yi and the others had such high cultivation talent was related to the fact that they were the female lead.

After all, the female lead is a woman of destiny.

A woman of good fortune is one who is blessed with good luck.

In addition, there's the Jiang family's good fortune.

Their luck has increased even more.

“We just need to release those techniques and martial arts skills little by little,” Nie Xingchen said.

Next, Jiang Chen, Nie Xingchen, and the others discussed what to do next.

After confirming the relevant matters, Jiang Chen called Cheng Shaoshang, Sun Toutou, Zhan Doudou, Li Hanyi, and Feng Wu over.

"Master." Cheng Shaoshang and the five women bowed.

"You all know about the Monster Forest, right?" Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Cheng Shaoshang and the others nodded.

"You will be training in the Monster Forest for the next year," Jiang Chen said.

"Go to the Monster Forest for training?" The women were slightly taken aback.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded: "You have been cultivating for some time now. Although you have the family training ground, your combat experience is still not strong. The Monster Forest is a good place to increase your combat experience."

"Okay." Cheng Shaoshang and the five women were only stunned for a moment before agreeing.

"Master, are the monsters in the Monster Forest very powerful?" Feng Wu asked.

"Impressive." Jiang Chen gave a brief introduction to the monsters in the Monster Forest, then said, "However, even if monsters have developed intelligence, they are still just monsters. As long as you don't provoke monsters that are much stronger than you and don't start a beast tide, you should be fine. Of course, this is on the premise that you have enough strength. In addition, the clan will buy monster meat, fur, inner cores, spiritual herbs, etc., so you can exchange them for more cultivation resources from the clan."

In the Jiang family, Cheng Shaoshang and his five daughters are Jiang Chen's disciples, and also disciples from outside the Jiang family. Therefore, they have cultivation resources provided by Jiang Chen, as well as cultivation resources distributed by the Jiang family every month.

However, Cheng Shaoshang and his five daughters possessed exceptionally high cultivation talent, and the available cultivation resources were still insufficient. They still needed to complete family tasks within the Jiang family to acquire more cultivation resources.

"Are there spirit stones in the Monster Forest?" Zhan Doudou asked.

"Have."

Jiang Chen said, "The Demon Beast Forest is rich in spiritual energy and has spirit stone veins. As long as you find a spirit stone vein, you can mine spirit stones."

Jiang Chen was in charge of settling the Monster Forest, and he obtained relevant information during the process.

Monster forests are usually rich in spiritual energy, mainly due to natural geographical factors and ecological balance mechanisms.

The convergence of spiritual veins is the core reason.

The spiritual veins underground attract and store surrounding spiritual energy, significantly increasing the concentration of spiritual energy above the forest. The core area of ​​the spiritual vein has the highest concentration of spiritual energy, gradually decreasing outwards, forming a structure known as a "mountain of spiritual energy concentration." The forest-covered area may happen to be within the radiation range of the spiritual vein, thus absorbing and accumulating a large amount of spiritual energy.

At the same time, the growth and feedback of the spiritual plants further enhanced the level of spiritual energy.

High concentrations of spiritual energy promote the mutation of ordinary plants into spiritual plants. During their growth, spiritual plants release their stored spiritual energy into the environment, creating a positive feedback loop: more spiritual plants produce more spiritual energy, which in turn supports the emergence of higher-level spiritual plants. This loop makes the forest a self-sustaining high-spiritual-energy area.

Monster activity also plays a supporting role in maintaining ecological balance.

When monsters (especially high-level monsters) cultivate or dwell, they consume and dissipate spiritual energy. Their corpses or excrement decompose and may be transformed into spiritual soil, indirectly nourishing the growth of spiritual plants. At the same time, monster forests are often far from human-controlled areas, avoiding human mining or destruction, allowing spiritual energy to accumulate naturally.

The demon beast forest that the Jiang family obtained this time is so vast, there must be many underground spiritual veins. And where there are spiritual veins, there must be spirit stone mines.

Unlike the monster forests in fantasy dramas and martial arts shows, this monster forest is a primitive monster forest. Since no powerful beings have died, there are naturally no secret realms or treasures.

“Ah… there’s also mining,” Chief Sun said.

“Of course.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “If you find out, you can tell the family, and then you will only get 30%.”

After handing it over to the family, you no longer need to mine the spirit stone mine yourself.

“Then we might as well dig it ourselves,” Feng Wu said.

"Shh!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen didn't say much. Instead, he waved his hand, and five jade pendants appeared in front of Cheng Shaoshang and the other five women: "These jade pendants contain three of my sword energies, with the power of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. They can withstand three attacks from a Myriad Manifestations Realm expert."

"Thank you, Master," said Headman Sun.

"Thank you, Master," Cheng Shaoshang and the others said from inside.

"As for talismans and formations, you can prepare them yourselves, or exchange them from your family," Jiang Chen said.

“Master, you are our master,” Headman Sun said.

“That’s right. As our master, he should help us,” Zhan Doudou added.

"This is for you." Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't be unprepared; he gave each person a storage bag and a spirit beast bag.

"Thank you, Master." Cheng Shaoshang and the other five women accepted the storage bag.

“You can also capture the low-level monsters in the Monster Forest alive,” Jiang Chen said.

"Capture them alive? Master, do you want to raise them? We already have the Monster Forest, do we still need to raise monsters?" Zhan Doudou asked.

“Domesticated and wild are different. Besides, our demand is huge, so we might as well raise them ourselves. After all, even if we form a demon-hunting team, it won't be enough to meet our needs.” Jiang Chen felt that the Jiang family's need for demon beast meat would be enormous in the future.

After a pause, Jiang Chen said, "If you find a monster that you like, you can form a contract with it. However, I suggest you be careful when forming a contract with a spirit beast and choose one that you need."

"Master, are there dragons and phoenixes in the Monster Forest?" Sun asked.

Upon hearing what Sun Tou Tou said, Cheng Shaoshang and the others' eyes lit up.

"I don't know," Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Don't know?" Headman Sun and the others were slightly taken aback.

"Yes, I also stumbled upon the Monster Forest by accident. I don't know much about it. Remember, be extremely careful in the Monster Forest." Jiang Chen gave these final instructions before leaving.

The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you.

Now it's up to Cheng Shaoshang and the others.

I wonder when Cheng Shaoshang and his four companions will become traitors and come after me.

After Jiang Chen left, Cheng Shaoshang and the other five women began to discuss things in the Monster Forest.

"This is our first time entering the Monster Forest, let's go in together," Cheng Shaoshang said.

"Okay." Headmaster Sun nodded.

……

Fengyun Continent, Youzhou.

"Son."

Upon seeing Jiang Chen appear, Hua Chunran immediately stood up, and in a flash, she threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms.

"You're welcoming me like this?" Jiang Chen reached out and put his arm around Hua Chunran's waist.

"Is that not okay?" Hua Chunran offered the lipstick.

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony.

After a long while, Jiang Chen finally released Hua Chunran.

Jiang Chen was already sitting in a chair at this moment.

“Young Master, we’ve been in the Fourth World for several months now, but this is your first time here,” Hua Chunran said with a hint of resentment.

"I'm here to see you, aren't I?" Jiang Chen didn't offer any further explanation, because there was no need.

"Young Master, we went to war with the Khitan two months ago..." Hua Chunran introduced the situation in Youzhou of the Fengyun Continent to Jiang Chen.

"The Khitan have been defeated in just two months?" Although he asked, Jiang Chen wasn't surprised. With tens of thousands of Jiang family soldiers trained on training cards in Youzhou of the Fengyun Continent, plus other armies, conquering the nomadic Khitan was easy. Moreover, with Wuguli, Xiao Hulian, and others present, their strength was enough to crush the Khitan.

"You can handle this yourself from now on," Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.” Hua Chunran understood what Jiang Chen meant.

However, Hua Chunran thought this was normal.

Fengyun Continent is just a subcontinent of the Central Continent, or you could say it's a state of the Central Continent. For the Jiang family, it's just a small place.

"While the martial artists of the Fengyun Continent are currently quite powerful, that's about all they are capable of. With our strength, combined with our army, we can still unify the world in a short period of time," Hua Chunran said.

The last time I came to the Fourth World, I didn't unify the Fengyun Continent for various reasons, the most important of which was the lack of sufficient food. But now it's different. With so many continents around, solving the food problem is not difficult.

Those storage bags and rings can be used to store food.

"I believe you."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I came here this time to help you solve some troubles, and also to take the rare and precious materials from the Fengyun Continent."

"Does the Fengyun Continent possess rare and precious treasures?"

Hua Chunran thought for a moment and said, "According to the information I received before, dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns have appeared on the Fengyun Continent... Could it be that, young master..."

"Smart." Jiang Chen did not deny it.

When I last came to the Third World, I was helpless against these things because of my limited strength.

But now it's different.

Moreover, in Jiang Chen's view, capturing the mythical beasts such as the dragon, phoenix, and qilin would also enhance the Jiang family's power.

“Young Master will definitely succeed,” Hua Chunran said.

"Of course." Jiang Chen smiled and started chatting with Hua Chunran about other things.

The changes in Jiangzhou, in particular.

"It seems I need to find time to go back to Jiangzhou." Hua Chunran understood that improving her strength was the most important thing. Only with sufficient strength and ability could she gain a foothold in the Jiang family and attract Jiang Chen's attention.

“Mm.” Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t object.

After spending some time with Hua Chunran, Jiang Chen prepared to leave Youzhou.

Just then, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Young master, mosquitoes are coming," Hua Chunran said.

"I didn't expect this. I wonder who sent them," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“It must have been sent by Li Siyuan,” Hua Chunran said.

"How many times has Huang Ying come since before?" Jiang Chen remembered that Huang Ying from "Storm Riders" came to assassinate Li Keyong after his death.

“This is the first time we’ve taken down the Khitan, and Li Siyuan feels threatened,” Hua Chunran said.

"That's interesting. Let's go out and take a look," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay," Hua Chunran replied.

At that moment, Jiang Chen and Hua Chunran walked out of the room.

Almost at the same time.

shhhhhh...

Several figures fell from the sky.

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed.

next moment.

The system prompt sounds.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received one basic military token.]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received a storage bag containing 10,000 coins.]

"A basic military token?"

"This is my thirtieth sign-in and I've received a basic military token."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good. The more basic soldier tokens you have, the more Star Riders and Eagle Guards you can recruit."

"Moreover, after advancing to the Imperial Clan, the authorization of primary military tokens has already been activated. Strictly speaking, these primary military tokens are actually not enough."

"Storage bags cost ten thousand?"

"This is the third time I've checked in."

According to the system introduction, the storage bag is a type of storage bag from the novel "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality." It appears as a small, coarse cloth bag, containing storage space, and is a common item for low-level cultivators. Ordinary storage bags typically have several cubic meters of space and are one of the essential basic items in the cultivation world; they cannot store actual living beings. While their appearance is ordinary, they are difficult to destroy.

The storage bag for system check-ins is now modeled after the storage bag in "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

In the novel *A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality*, storage bags require the infusion of spiritual power and a divine sense seal to be used, and they also prevent others from detecting them. Storage bags obtained through system check-ins, on the other hand, require the infusion of true essence and spiritual power to be used, and they also prevent others from detecting them.

According to the system description, this storage bag has a capacity of six cubic meters.

The spatial rings, bracelets, and bags currently belonging to the Jiang family are unique to the family and serve as their identity tokens, verifiable with the family head's seal. Furthermore, as the family's fortune and level increase, the space within them can be expanded. Once the person who possesses a spatial ring, bracelet, or bag dies, no one else can refine it.

The storage bag is merely a storage bag; the Jiang family members can refine and use it using their true essence and spiritual power. If it falls into the wrong hands, anyone with true essence, spiritual power, spiritual energy, or divine sense can refine and use it.

"This means that the storage bag can be used by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Jiang Family Army, and the Fox Hunt assassins."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Ye Zhanqing is a character in the TV series "Reign of Assassins".

In the drama, she is an extraordinary 18-year-old woman who, on her wedding night, ruthlessly murders her husband's entire family simply because he is "impotent." Her innocent and naive talent for killing catches the eye of King Yama, who teaches her the "Water-Splitting Sword Technique" and carefully grooms her to be the successor to "Fine Rain."

Xi Yu, a character in the film "Reign of Assassins".

In the drama, she was originally one of the three top assassins of the mysterious organization "Black Stone." After retrieving the remains of Luo Mo during a mission, she defected from the organization and underwent the Ghost Hand Disguise Technique, adopting the alias Zeng Jing and living in seclusion in the city. Her transformation involves three contradictions: on the surface, she is a cloth factory worker in the city, but in reality, she carries the Black Stone's kill order; under the alias Zeng Jing, she marries Jiang Asheng, the son of her enemy, but becomes the central figure triggering a tragedy in the martial arts world. As the main narrative thread of the entire film, Xi Yu overcomes the flaws of the Bi Shui Sword Technique through the four sword techniques taught by Lu Zhu, and in the final battle at Yunhe Temple, she kills the Wheel King with perfect swordsmanship, completing her transformation from a cold-blooded killer to one who redeems herself.

"Ye Zhanqing from 'Reign of Assassins'?"

"interesting……"

Ye Zhanqing, a character in the drama, is an ordinary woman with an extremely eccentric and shrewish personality. On her wedding night, because her husband is impotent, she is instantly consumed by anger and resentment, revealing her inner cruelty and violence. She brutally murders her husband and in-laws, a heinous act. She is subsequently arrested by the authorities and sentenced to immediate execution.

On the execution ground, Ye Zhanqing was spotted by Wheel King, the leader of the Black Stone Organization. Wheel King was attracted by her hidden ruthlessness and unruliness, believing that she had potential. So he carefully planned to use the technique of "faking death" to pull her back from the brink of death. Ye Zhanqing thus stepped into the Black Stone Organization and began her career as an assassin.

Within the organization, she underwent rigorous training, gradually honing her exceptional martial arts skills and ruthless heart. Becoming the successor to Xi Yu, the Wheel King taught Ye Zhanqing the "Water-Splitting Sword Technique," a superb swordsmanship that became a crucial asset in her career. Ye Zhanqing, with her talent and ruthlessness, quickly mastered the essence of the swordsmanship. The Wheel King considered her the ideal successor to Xi Yu, making her a key pawn in the Black Stone organization's future plans. She gradually distinguished herself in various assassination missions, striking fear into the hearts of many in the martial world.

Ye Zhanqing disguises herself as a brothel girl, indulging in the decadent lifestyle of that place, using her body as a weapon and tool to unleash her desires. In her interactions with all sorts of men, she not only gains material benefits but also develops a distorted sense of self-confidence, believing she can control everything with her charm, sinking deeper and deeper into this depraved life.

After hearing Zeng Jing's (the story of Xi Yu after her plastic surgery) story, Ye Zhanqing felt a strong competitive urge ignite within her. She deliberately approached Zeng Jing's husband, Jiang Asheng, using all her charms to seduce him. Sometimes she feigned weakness, sometimes she flaunted her allure, attempting to disrupt Jiang Asheng and Zeng Jing's happy life. Watching Zeng Jing fall into pain and struggle gave her a perverse sense of satisfaction, completely disregarding the immense harm her actions caused to others.

As Ye Zhanqing spent time with King Zhuanlun, she gradually developed feelings for this mysterious and powerful leader. She constantly fawned over him, yearning for more attention and affection. However, during a close encounter, she unexpectedly discovered the secret that King Zhuanlun was a eunuch. This cruel truth was unacceptable to her. Shocked and disappointed, she spoke sarcastically to King Zhuanlun, her words piercing his heart like sharp blades.

Enraged, King Zhuanlun refused to allow his secret to be revealed, especially not by someone he had once trusted, Ye Zhanqing. So, he hardened his heart and buried Ye Zhanqing alive, letting her end her sinful and turbulent life in darkness and despair. She paid the most painful price for her past recklessness and careless words, leaving behind a poignant story amidst the grudges and conflicts of the martial world.

"As for the drizzle..."

In the drama, Xi Yu was trained from a young age by the Black Stone leader, Wheel King, to be a top assassin. She possesses the unique martial art of the Water-Splitting Sword Technique, and her ruthless and efficient methods of killing during missions strike fear into the hearts of the martial arts world. As the leader of the organization's three top assassins, her status is above that of the opera singers Lian Sheng and Lei Bin. She participated in the crucial operation of massacring the Prime Minister Zhang Haiduan's mansion to retrieve the remains of Rama. After defecting with half of Rama's remains, she uses Ghost Hand's disguise technique to change her appearance, transforming herself into Zeng Jing, a cloth factory worker, and living in seclusion in Nanjing.

However, after assassinating Zhang Haiduan, he fled with the body. He was instructed by Lu Zhu, a lay disciple of Shaolin, on four weaknesses in his moves. In the end, after Lu Zhu risked his life to convert him, he decided to retire from the criminal life. During his disguise, he integrated into the lives of ordinary people under the identity of "Zeng Jing". He met and married Jiang Asheng (in disguise as Zhang Renfeng), a seemingly honest messenger, and lived an ordinary life.

Ye Zhanqing is pursued by Black Stone for secretly possessing the remains of Rama, and is put to the test as their new assassin double. During an ambush at the money exchange, she demonstrates her non-killing principle by repelling the enemy unarmed, but her true identity is still exposed by King Yama. She then discovers that her husband is Zhang Renfeng, the orphan from the massacre of her family years ago, plunging her into a dilemma of both emotion and morality.

During the final battle at Yunhe Temple, he used the sword techniques taught by Lu Zhu to break through King Zhuanlun's Zhuanlun Sword Technique and severed his meridians with the Bishui Sword. During this time, he revealed King Zhuanlun's eunuch identity and ultimately survived with the seriously injured Jiang Asheng, achieving self-redemption.

"I thought a few bugs had come, but I didn't expect to be able to sign in."

"interesting."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

Just then, a voice like a duck's quack rang out: "You are Hua Chunran?"
