The Longevity Family: Starting from the Branches and Leaves

Chapter 204
Jade Butterfly City, the Chen family's meeting hall.

The fully decorated meeting hall is extremely spacious and exquisitely decorated.

The surrounding area is not only decorated with second-grade high-grade crystal jade, but also several exquisite and elegant Yunhe jade lamps, and wisps of smoke-like spiritual energy gushes out from Yunhe's mouth.

At the same time, the chairs and futons are also made of high-quality materials.

The Taishi chair is made of second-grade Qingxin wood, and the futon is made of meditation grass.

Both have the effect of cultivating the mind and calming the mind.

Just from the decoration of many spiritual materials in this meeting hall, it can be seen that the current strength of the Chen family is not what it used to be.

"Husband, the Han family said that they want to join my Chen family. The head of the Han family, Han Geng, is already waiting outside the hall. Do you want to summon me?"

At this moment, in the main hall, Chen Ling was sitting in the main seat, and his wife Bai Wei was talking to him.

Today, Chen Ling was practicing in the training room. Bai Wei sent news that the Han family offered to join the Chen family.

The golden core ancestor of the Han family was severely injured in the chaos and has never recovered. In addition to the chaos, the Han family also suffered heavy casualties.

But now the Jin family has completely belonged to the Lu family, and asked both the Han family and the Bai family to belong to the Lu family.

It's just that the Bai family has now belonged to the Chen family, so they ignore the Jin family.

But the Han family was not so lucky, and received constant pressure from the Jin family.

But I don't know why?
The Han family did not belong to the Lu family, but sought shelter from the Chen family!

Right now, the Patriarch of the Han family is waiting outside the hall.

Originally, most of the family affairs are now managed by Xie Maner.

But the Han family is not only a refining family, but also a Jindan cultivator in the family.

Therefore, he can't be too big, and can only receive him personally.

Chen Ling nodded.

After a few moments, a vigorous and handsome young man in red robe followed Shen Zhen from outside the hall.

"I have seen Patriarch Han!"

Although he knew the purpose of the other party's visit, Chen Ling didn't mean to be negligent, and stood up to greet him with a smile.

Han Geng is less than 30 years old, and he has cultivated in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

"Meet Patriarch Chen!"

Han Geng hastily cupped his hands in salute.

Although the Chen family is an aristocratic family that suddenly appeared in these years, seeing the current scene of Yudie City, it has surpassed the Han family with hundreds of years of foundation.

But now he is asking for more from the Chen family, so his attitude is also extremely low.

The host is seated.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Ling changed his words and asked directly, "Patriarch Han, what is the purpose of coming to the Chen family this time?"

Although the resources currently held by the Chen family are enough for the Chen family to consume for a while, there is no need to rush to expand.

However, for the Chen family, it was impossible for the Chen family to subdue such an old craft refining family like the Han family even with a lantern.

Therefore, within the scope of controllable risks, Chen Ling was naturally willing to accept the Han family's attachment.

Besides, this is a lot of incense value!
As soon as the words fell, Han Geng's face moved slightly, and then suddenly a light flashed in the storage ring in his hand, and a palm-sized red ore appeared.

Then he offered the ore in front of Chen Ling with both hands and said in a low voice, "Patriarch Chen, this is the fourth-grade low-grade Fire Cloud Essence Stone that my Han family has treasured for many years! I specially dedicated it to Patriarch Chen."

Fourth-rank low-grade fire cloud crystal stone!
Looking at the fiery red spar in Han Geng's hand, even though Chen Ling had already exchanged several pieces of fourth-order ore from the Dao pattern space, his face still showed surprise.

You must know that in this area, even in the large-scale cracked gold vein currently controlled by the Star Sword Sect, there has never been a fourth-order ore.

Moreover, this fire cloud spar is not only a refining tool, but also a good material for refining puppets.

"Could it be that the Han family still controls a fire cloud spar mine?"

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the fire cloud spar, and secretly guessed in his heart.

But he quickly shook his head, maybe he was thinking too much.

It is extremely rare for this barren land to be able to produce third-order veins.

But now, the Han family is also a family of refining equipment, and they are willing to dedicate the fourth-order fire cloud spar to him.

This really showed enough sincerity.

After all, a piece of Tier [-] ore, in the hands of a Tier [-] refiner, only needs to be mixed with other Tier [-] materials.

Once it is successfully refined into a high-level spiritual treasure, it will be a town treasure.

Chen Ling was not polite either, and immediately waved his sleeves and took the fire cloud spar.

Suddenly, a strong fire attribute breath came from his hand.

Fire dolomite is not only hard and sharp, but also extremely easy to shape.

With a thought, Chen Ling put the fire cloud spar directly into the storage ring, and then said without changing his face, "Thank you, Patriarch Han, for the treasure, but is there anything else?"

According to what Bai Wei said, the Han family is going to belong to the Chen family, and now that he has accepted the fire cloud spar, it can be regarded as a favor!

Therefore, there is no need to be polite. Accepting the fire cloud spar is equivalent to accepting the Han family.

Seeing Chen Ling accepting the treasure, although Han Geng was reluctant to part with it, his face still showed joy, and he cupped his hands decisively and said, "Han Geng wants to lead the Han family members to join the Chen family, and I beg the master to take them in."

"In addition, the ancestor of my Han family was severely injured and needed a third-order true yang pill to remove the evil spirit in his body. I wonder if the patriarch can refine one for my Han family!"

This is also one of the reasons why he took the initiative to lead the Han family to join the Chen family this time.

From the population of the Bai family, he accidentally learned that Chen Ling was not only a third-tier craftsman, but also a third-tier alchemist.

Originally, they had already gone to Danmeng to buy this Zhenyang Pill.

But Danmeng knew that the power of the Han family had plummeted, and the lion opened his mouth, not only wanting the Han family to belong to Danmeng, but also taking away the two mine veins of the Han family.

At this time, Patriarch Han absolutely cannot accept it.

So after some consideration, he decided to join the Chen family.

Although the Chen family is only a family that has been established for less than ten years, the strong in the cultivation world are respected.

It is the strength of the Chen family that the Chen family has been able to stand still during the years of the demon cultivator's ravages, and continue to grow and develop.

What's more, even Wang Yun, the suzerain of the Star Sword Sect, and Jin Dan Jianxiu are the wives of this person in front of him.

And he seems to be at most at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

This is how to make a golden core sword cultivator willing to be his Taoist partner?

Judging from the orderly situation of Yudie City, Chen Ling doesn't seem to be a softie either!

In addition, the Qiqi League has now existed in name only.

The ancestor suffered heavy injuries again, and the evil spirit in his body was not removed, so he probably wouldn't survive for half a year.

Therefore, the current situation of the Han family can only belong to the Dan League or the Chen family.

Only then can we find a way to survive for the descendants of the Han family.

Otherwise, in this barren land, not to mention other forces, there may even be a resurgence of chaos.

Even a third-tier monster that appeared by chance could bring disaster to the Han family.

After coming to Jade Butterfly City in person, he saw that the Chen family was far stronger than he had imagined, and he faintly felt that the Han family made the right choice this time!
Originally, to be precise, taking refuge in the Chen family was just a last resort!
"Okay, since your Han family is so sincerely attached to my Chen family, it's natural to welcome you!"

"However, it will take me a month to refine the True Yang Pill."

Chen Ling said with a smile.

Zhenyang Pill is a elixir for removing evil spirits, and its grade is not low.

Fortunately, he happened to have this Dan Fang in his hand.

As long as you collect the refining materials, you can refine them.

Of course, he couldn't agree to it straight away, so it was better to be on the safe side and gave a one-month deadline.

[Reminder: If the Han family is successfully attached, you can get 800 incense points! 】

At the same time, a prompt appears on the prompt bar.

Chen Ling was a little surprised. The last time the Bai family joined, it was only 500 incense points.

Now the Han family has reached 800. It seems that the overall resources or preserved strength of the Han family are much higher than that of the Bai family.

But it's normal, after all, the Han family still has a Jindan cultivator sitting in charge.

Although he was seriously injured, he was still a Golden Core cultivator.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for taking me in. Han Geng is very grateful. From now on, my Han family will belong to the Chen family, and the Chen family will follow the lead!"

Han Geng clasped his fists in salute, and said loudly with joy on his face, expressing his sincere attachment.

To be able to refine the True Yang Pill in a month already surprised him enough!
As long as the ancestor can save his life, the Han family will have hope in the future.

Chen Ling nodded, and then asked Shen Zhen to assist Bai Wei in dealing with the Han family's attachment.

Although the Han family is affiliated, there is a possibility of offending Danmeng.

But there is still a certain distance between Danmeng and this wasteland, and it is unlikely that they will make a big move.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Yun has already controlled the two killing formations of the Tiangang fairy lightsaber formation.

Now the Chen family has the capital to deal with the Nascent Soul cultivator.

What's more, subduing such a large-scale weapon refining family of the Han family can raise the overall strength of the Chen family's tool refining hall to another level.

Moreover, the incense value you will get in the future will also increase accordingly.

After dealing with the matter of the Han family's attachment, Chen Ling returned to his compound.

Shen Zhen and Bai Wei will discuss other matters with Han Geng.

. . .

"Why did you hurt Hu Xiaohu?"

As soon as Chen Ling entered the gate, he heard He Yunxiu's angry voice from the hall.

"Mother, I don't blame my sister for this matter. It was Hu Xiaohu who bullied other people by relying on the spirit beast. My sister beat him because she didn't like it!"

The voice of peace sounded again.

When Chen Ling walked in, he saw He Xiuyun holding a rattan stick and sitting on the grand master's chair with a dignified expression.

Standing in front of her was Ping An and Sheng Xia, Sheng Xia suppressed her small face with a look of protest, while Ping An argued hard with red faces.

Chun'er and Xingtong also stood behind them, looking cautious.

"father!"

Seeing Chen Ling coming in, the four of them shouted in unison as if they saw a life-saving straw.

"what happened?"

Seeing the pitiful looks of the four of them, Chen Ling could only ask in a serious manner.

He casually pulled a wicker chair and sat down on one side.

"Father, I'll make you a cup of tea!"

Seeing Chen Ling sitting down, Sheng Xia hurriedly said with a smile.

"Xia'er, stop there, if you haven't explained the matter clearly, you can't go there either!"

He Yunxiu shook the cane in his hand, and said angrily.

The feet that Sheng Xia had strode out just now shrank back like a turtle, glanced at the cane in He Yunxiu's hand, and dared not say any more.

Seeing the opportunity, Xing Tong hurried to the table where the tea leaves were placed, brewed a cup of spiritual tea, and walked over with a pair of small hands holding it carefully.

"Ma'am, drink tea!"

Xing Tong first passed it to He Yunxiu.

He Yunxiu took the spirit tea, put it on the case table, nodded and said, "Tong'er is still good!"

Chun'er also hurried over to make a cup for Chen Ling.

"Father, you drink tea too!"

"What's the matter with you? You made the aunt so angry!"

Chen Ling took the spirit tea, glanced at the four of them, and asked.

Sheng Xia immediately spread her hands, looked over with an innocent face, and said weakly, "Father, it's all caused by that guy Hu Xiaohu!"

"Relying on the fact that he has a flame tiger spirit beast in his hand, he always bullies other people. Last time he almost hit my elder brother. I can't stand it, so I will teach him a lesson!"

"On our Chen family's territory, even if he is a dragon, he has to be coiled by me, let alone a sick tiger!"

Sheng Xia was speaking in high spirits, seeing He Yunxiu staring at him, he stopped hastily.

"Yes! Dad, that Hu Xiaohu is too much!"

Xingtong and Chun'er also agreed.

"Did you fight with someone? Did you win or lose?"

Chen Ling picked up the teacup, sipped the tea slowly, and asked with a smile.

"Father, I don't know if I lost or won!"

Sheng Xia said cautiously.

"The flame tiger's hair was burned off by you, and it was almost roasted by you, and Hu Xiaohu's nose was bruised and his face was swollen by you, how dare you say that!"

He Yunxiu stared at Sheng Xia, and continued, "How many times have I told you that our Chen family is what it is today, and it is also the result of the joint efforts of other families."

"My Chen family passes on etiquette to the family, we can't bully others."

He Yunxiu was talking, shaking the cane to beat Midsummer.

"Okay! Okay! It's fine if you don't lose!"

"It's all gone!"

Seeing that Sheng Xia didn't look like he was being bullied, Chen Ling waved and said.

As long as you win, that's fine!
In the realm of comprehension, whoever has the biggest fist has always been the one who has the final say.

It is not good to educate children too honestly.

Especially in this wilderness.

Once you leave the family, it is not difficult to move an inch.

Hearing Chen Ling's words, the four of them waved their hands happily and ran out of the hall.

"Husband!"

He Yunxiu glared at Chen Ling and said dissatisfied.

"It's common for children to fight and fight!"

Chen Ling said with a smile.

"But you can't get used to them like this!"

"That way, how will other people see us!"

He Yunxiu exhaled and said.

"Xia'er knows the seriousness. With her current cultivation, it's not easy to deal with Hu Xiaohu!"

Chen Ling said with a smile.

Now Midsummer is already at the fifth level of Qi training, and has already condensed spiritual flames.

Even if a monk in the late stage of Qi training meets her, they may not be able to take advantage of her.

What's more, it's just dealing with a kid who is about her age.

"Hey! You are such a father! Always spoiling them!"

He Yunxiu shook his head helplessly.

Then got up and prepared to make lunch.

. . .

The summer sun is scattered on the patio, interlaced with green leaf bamboo and fire lotus, reflecting circles of blue and red light and shadow.

Under the blue sky, unknown birds chirped.

After the meal, He Yunxiu gave Sheng Xia another order so that she would not cause trouble in the future.

bang bang bang bang!
In the kitchen, Sheng Xia cleaned up the pots and pans.

Washing the dishes for three days was He Yunxiu's punishment.

Xingtong and Chun'er also quietly walked into the kitchen to help!
As usual, Chen Ling sat comfortably on the patio corridor after lunch, drinking spirit tea slowly.

He enjoys this kind of afternoon full of life, which is long and leisurely.

In the afternoon of midsummer, there is a cool breeze, and the air is filled with the fragrance of lotus.

Makes you drowsy.

Chen Ling felt completely relaxed.

The heart is filled with peace and joy.

Think about it when you were in Hongye Lane, it was a precarious situation, and you could not take the next step, but now, even the Jindan family took the initiative to come to join the Chen family.

This was a huge change that he didn't even dare to think about.

It also proved that in this area, his Chen family has completely established a foothold.

Unknowingly, the status of the Chen family has been improved in an all-round way, as if they have entered another world completely.

"Hey, although the situation is good, we still need to be cautious at the moment!"

"It can be said that the surroundings are surrounded by wolves, especially the Suiyun Sword Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect have recently shown strong expansion intentions."

"Suiyun Sword Sect has already occupied Qingyang Sect's area for more than half a year. If they want to go further, it will be Hundred Beasts Sect or Star Sword Sect."

"Compared to the two fourth-order spirit beasts of the Hundred Beasts Sect, it is undoubtedly easier to eat the Star Sword Sect first."

Chen Ling pondered in his heart.

Fortunately, now Wang Yun and the others have mastered the Tiangang fairy lightsaber array.

"Next, let Shadow Guard Hall pay close attention to the movements of these two sects."

"Besides, the Jin family can't relax either!"

Although the Chen family currently occupies a lot of resources, they have not yet been fully transformed into family strength.

And the three surrounding forces are all forces with Nascent Soul combat power sitting in the command, or relying on the mountain.

So still be careful enough.

As long as he can enter the golden core, the power of using the two magical powers will be greatly improved, and then he will be able to protect himself enough.

As long as these three forces don't take the initiative to provoke him, he will naturally not look for trouble.

Although the strength of the Chen family is no longer what it used to be.

But his direction is to marry a wife and have children, and accumulate more incense points, instead of rashly expanding by fighting and killing.

Chen Ling sipped the spirit tea while thinking about it.

"Guo's family has come, and if there is a discussion with the head of the family, I will invite them into the hall!"

At this time, Shen Zhen hurried over and reported to Chen Ling.

"The Guo family!"

Chen Ling stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

Now the Guo family is in full swing, so don't neglect it.

Immediately waving his hands, he and Shen Zhen walked towards the main hall.

. . .

As soon as he entered the hall, Chen Ling saw two members of the Guo family.

A man and a woman are both in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The man was Shen Ling's follower Guo Ping; the woman was dressed in purple, with a graceful figure and a delicate face.

"The arrival of the two fellow daoists is truly radiant!"

Chen Ling bowed his hands to the two of them.

"I didn't expect that in just over a year, Chen Daoyou has entered the late stage of foundation establishment. It really is not easy!"

Guo Ping sat motionless, his eyes swept over Chen Ling, the fat on his increasingly fat face trembled slightly, and he said with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Ling deliberately hid his aura, probably because he had just entered the late stage of foundation establishment.

Although the two met for the second time, they acted as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years and were quite harmonious.

But Chen Ling knew in his heart that now that Shen Ling was his wife, the more Guo Ping smiled, the more he had to be on guard.

"What is the name of this fellow Daoist?"

Chen Ling smiled and asked the girl in purple.

"Guo Yun!" The girl cupped her hands casually.

"Chen Ling, we're not here to drink tea with you to reminisce about the past!" At this time, Guo Ping said again.

"The last time your Chen family killed the demon cultivator, you performed well. The ancestors valued you very much."

"Now the ancestor has left the customs, and he said that as long as the Chen family is willing to join my Suiyun Sword Sect, you can be the elder of the sect."

"In the future, the territory occupied by the Chen family will grow bigger, and I, Suiyun Sword Sect, will give you certain resources from the Chen family every year, including high-grade sword arts."

"We can even arrange Taoist companions in the late stage of foundation establishment for you in the sect!"

While talking, Guo Ping looked at Chen Ling indifferently. He didn't know why the ancestor valued this person so much.

Hearing what he said, Chen Ling understood the reason for their visit.

This is to recruit the Chen family, it seems that Suiyun Sword Sect will continue to expand its territory!

After pretending to think for a while, Chen Ling raised his brows slightly, cupped his fists and said, "It's really an honor for my Chen family to be able to enter Guo Patriarch's Dharma Eye!"

"It's just that my Chen family is now an affiliated family of the Star Sword Sect, so I definitely won't abandon the sect easily!"

"I also ask Fellow Daoist Guo to send a message to the old ancestor. Chen has failed his old man's kindness!"

Guo Ping said it nicely, but now everyone knows that Wang Yun is his wife.

Chen Jiagui attached to Yunjianzong, which naturally means that Xingjianzong will sooner or later be attached to Yunjianzong.

This abacus is too shrewd!
As for the Guo family's promise, others might be tempted.

But for high-level magic arts, as long as Chen Ling accumulated enough incense points, he would naturally be able to enter the dao pattern space in exchange for them.

There is also a Taoist companion, is he a person who lacks a Taoist companion now?

After listening, Guo Ping's expression changed and he snorted coldly.

Although Chen Ling seemed to be respectful, he directly rejected the kindness of the ancestor of the Guo family. Think about it, who gave him the courage.

A monk in the late stage of foundation establishment dared to reject the meaning of Nascent Soul's power.

"Chen Ling, you are going to reject the ancestor's kindness!"

Guo Ping looked directly at Chen Ling with an extremely cold tone.

But there was joy in his heart, Chen Ling was looking for death on his own
Regarding Shen Ling's matter, he had long wanted to do something about this person, but because of the magic cultivator, he never had the chance.

Opportunity will come soon now!

"It really failed the good intentions of the ancestor! After all, I am the guest minister of the Star Sword Sect!"

Chen Ling emphasized again with a helpless expression.

"Huh! Good! My Guo family is just too sentimental!"

Guo Ping's expression turned cold, and his tone was full of anger.

Although the Chen family is not weak now, it has not yet reached the point where the Guo family can be scrupled.

The ancestor just wanted to accept the Star Sword Sect without fighting.

"Good! Very good! Since Daoyou Chen is so confident, I hope he won't regret today's choice in the future!"

Guo Ping stood up with a look of anger.

Then he said to the girl, "Sister Yun, let's go!"

"Two fellow daoists, go all the way!"

Chen Ling hurriedly got up and saw him off.

Flying swords had already appeared at the feet of the two of them, flying towards the outside of Yudie City.

Chen Ling frowned slightly, and shook his head. This is another troublesome matter!
