The Longevity Family: Starting from the Branches and Leaves

Haoyang Lingzhou, Chen Family Hall.

Chen Ling sat in the main seat with a calm expression.

Jiang Ruoyang and Yun Feier sat on the left and right respectively.

In addition, there were two men and two women sitting below.

On the right are Xue Xu and Ning Baolan, the two heads of seventh-rank families, both of whom have reached the peak of True Immortal cultivation.

On the left are Chu Tianqi and Chu Xianmo, both of whom look a little solemn.

I just received news that the sand monster attacked Yunhai Lingzhou again, and this time the scale is larger than before.

Lingzhou’s defense shield may not be able to hold up any longer.

Therefore, they were anxious at this moment and hoped that Chen Ling could send troops as soon as possible.

Chu Tianqi has agreed to join the Chen family, and Chu Xianmo is also willing to marry Chen Ling.

But Chen Ling has not given a clear answer yet.

"Master Chen is able to control such a large area of ​​sand at such a young age. He is truly a role model for our human cultivators."

Xue Xu bowed to Chen Ling with a smile on his face.

He also didn't expect that Chen Ling was only in the late stage of the immortal realm, but he was able to get the Yun family to marry their daughter to him.

And now the entire Liuyun Chamber of Commerce is still controlled by Yun Feier.

The Yun family’s intention to submit has become obvious.

And their Xue family has a lot of cooperation with Liuyun Chamber of Commerce.

That's why he traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to attend their wedding.

"Master Xue is praising Chen for his good luck. He has won the love of all the wives. As for his cultivation, he is only at the late stage of Sanxian, which is extremely mediocre."

Chen Ling smiled modestly.

Originally, with the cultivation level of the head of the Xue family at the peak of the True Immortal Realm, he, as a Loose Immortal, naturally had to regard himself as a junior.

However, the strength of Haoyang Lingzhou is now no less than that of a seventh-grade family.

He is the emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, so there is naturally no need for him to regard himself as a junior.

"Master Xue, what is the current situation in the southern part of the country?"

Chen Ling asked again.

"Oh, the situation is worrying."

"Now the entire Ziyuan Mountain Range has fallen into the hands of the Jinyuan Immortal Dynasty."

"The Zixiao Immortal Dynasty has also retreated from the Ziyuan Mountains, but the Jinyuan Immortal Dynasty has no intention of stopping the war. The flames of war have already spread to the southern region."

"Several immortal cities near the Ziyuan Mountains have been captured by the Jinyuan Immortal Dynasty."

The head of the Xue family frowned and said in a deep voice.

"This time, the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty mobilized so many seventh-grade aristocratic family golden immortals to the Ziyuan Mountains, but they were defeated?"

Chen Ling couldn't help but ask in surprise.

The two immortal dynasties usually have quite a few minor frictions, and it is common for them to win and lose against each other.

But this time, the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty has mobilized almost all the Golden Immortals of the Immortal Dynasty to fight.

Wouldn't it be possible to fail so quickly?

"I'm afraid it's not just the Jinyuan Immortal Dynasty that's dealing with the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty this time."

Patriarch Xue said with a serious expression.

"Our Zixiao Immortal Dynasty was defeated so quickly this time. I suspect that the Xuandao Immortal Dynasty also took action."

"The two immortal dynasties secretly planned to divide up the Jinyuan Immortal Dynasty."

The head of the Ning family at the side also spoke, his voice was gentle and pleasant, and extremely pleasant to hear.

"If the two major immortal dynasties joined forces, with the strength of the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty, they really couldn't stop it."

Chen Ling nodded.

The three immortal dynasties are all eighth-grade immortal dynasties, and the difference in strength is not that big.

It is impossible for any immortal dynasty to swallow up another immortal dynasty alone.

And if the other two immortal dynasties join forces to defeat and annex the other dynasty, they will have an absolute chance of winning.

However, they cannot control the war situation.

"Shopkeeper Yun, are the immortal rice and other materials ordered by my Xue family ready?"

After talking about the war situation, Patriarch Xue bowed and asked Yun Fei'er.

This time they came, in addition to celebrating Chen Ling's wedding, they also wanted to purchase supplies such as fairy rice.

Today, resources in the southern region are not only ridiculously expensive, but also simply unavailable.

Almost all the big families and chambers of commerce were recruited by the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty.

All resources were taken over by the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty and used in the war against the Jinyuan Immortal Dynasty.

The ancestor of Liuyun Chamber of Commerce had already predicted this and transported the resources of Liuyun Chamber of Commerce to Haoyang Lingzhou in advance.

Haoyang Lingzhou is not a family that has surrendered to the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty.

So he won't be called up.

Of course, even if he wanted to recruit, Chen Ling would not accept it in this desert area.

"Master Xue, this is 2,500 kilograms of immortal rice, including 300 kilograms of seventh-grade immortal rice, 700 kilograms of eighth-grade immortal rice, and 1,500 kilograms of ninth-grade immortal rice."

"There are also many runes, elixirs, etc."

Yun Fei'er took out a fairy ring and handed it to the head of the Xue family.

"Shopkeeper Yun, can you give me some more?"

"The current situation is worrying. These resources can definitely be sold at a good price. However, I want to use this batch of immortal rice as a reserve for the family."

Patriarch Xue asked with a bow.

The original cooperation between the two parties was about the same amount.

However, now that the war situation has changed, he also hopes to buy more.

Under the current situation, he does not want to sell these resources, but instead keeps them as a backup for the family.

"Shopkeeper Yun, my Ning family also hopes to buy more this time."

The head of the Ning family frowned slightly and also bowed to Yun Fei'er.

"My two family masters, it's not that we don't sell more."

"It's just that the amount of immortal rice we have is limited, and we also have to supply other families."

Yun Fei'er bowed to the two of them, with a look of helplessness on her pretty face.

"Shopkeeper Yun, we can raise the price a bit more!"

Patriarch Xue said seriously.

Yun Fei'er exhaled and asked Chen Ling, "Husband, what do you think about this matter?"

"Both family heads are here in person. Please provide more immortal rice."

Chen Ling nodded and said.

Now the monthly production of fairy rice in Haoyang Lingzhou is sufficient, so it won’t have any impact if more is supplied.

Yun Fei'er looked at the two family heads with her beautiful eyes, and then smiled and said, "Okay, then each family will add an extra 1,000 kilograms."

"As for the price, it will be based on the original price."

The price of immortal rice changes every day now, and few aristocratic families sell it.

Only their Haoyang Lingzhou can still maintain such an astonishing output.

"Thank you, Master Chen, Shopkeeper Yun!"

The two heads of the Xue family bowed to Chen Ling and Yun Fei'er.

With the current market conditions, even if the price of Xianmi doubles, they will have to accept it.

Yun Fei'er's decision was undoubtedly a big favor to them.

"You're welcome!"

Yun Fei'er bowed.

The Xue family and the Ning family are long-term clients of Liuyun Chamber of Commerce. It is impossible for her to destroy the cooperation between the two parties for such a small profit.

"Master Chen, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

The head of the Ning family looked at Chen Ling with her beautiful eyes and said seriously.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Ling asked.

"Although the war is still some distance away from our Jade Sword Immortal City."

"But no one knows how the situation will change."

"So I am bold enough to ask for your help. If the Jade Sword Fairy City is breached one day, my Ning family will have to be thick-skinned and come to join Patriarch Chen."

Patriarch Ning said with a faint smile.

Now this barren sandy area has become a paradise.

If the Jinyuan Immortal Dynasty has no intention of retreating, then their Yujian Immortal City will be affected sooner or later.

So you have to be prepared.

"Easy to say!"

Chen Ling nodded and said.

He would naturally be more than happy to have a seventh-rank family like the Ning family come and seek refuge with him.

"My Xue family also means the same thing."

The head of the Xue family also took the opportunity to speak.

If the war continues, their Immortal City will also be affected. Now most of the Golden Immortals on the front line can hardly stop the Golden Source Immortal Dynasty.

As for their subsequent immortal cities, that is even more impossible.

"Welcome!"

Chen Ling said with a smile.

Afterwards, Yun Fei'er took the two of them to collect the immortal rice.

Only Chu Tianqi, Chu Xianmo, and Chen Ling and his wife were left in the hall.

"Master Chu, I was busy just now. Please forgive me for my inconvenience!"

Only then did Chen Ling bow to Chu Tianqi.

It’s not that he intentionally ignored the Chu family, it’s just the current situation.

He didn't want to take the risk of going to Yunhai Lingzhou.

According to the intelligence obtained, the number of sand monsters attacking Yunhai Lingzhou this time is more than the last time they attacked the Liang family.

And it is said that there is a fourth-level sand demon king.

The risk is too great.

Now, if he wants to deal with the fourth-level Sand Demon King, he can only rely on the fairy formation.

It would be impossible to do this without leaving Haoyang Lingzhou.

And even if he could defeat the fourth-level Sand Demon King.

There are also many other third-level sand monsters that are difficult to deal with.

Even if we can win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

He didn't want to use up all the wealth he had accumulated with great difficulty just to help the Chu family.

Although the Chu family is quite powerful, it is not worth it for me to fight so hard.

Given the current situation, I should proceed step by step and wait for the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty to be defeated. Then I can absorb a wave of the seventh-rank families of the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty and grow rapidly.

So he didn't plan to go to Yunhai Lingzhou.

"Master Chen, you are too serious!"

Chu Tianqi bowed and looked very sincere.

He had just seen it with his own eyes that even the two heads of the seventh-rank families were extremely respectful to Chen Ling.

Of course he can wait.

What's more, I have an important matter to ask Chen Ling for help.

"Master Chen, our Chu family is willing to submit to the Chen family in the future."

"However, now that we are being attacked by a sand monster, I hope that Patriarch Chen can lend a helping hand to our Chu family to defeat the sand monster."

The head of the Chu family bowed to Chen Ling again and said.

The tone was serious, yet with a hint of request.

Chen Ling hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "Master Chen, you have also seen the current situation in Haoyang Lingzhou."

"Now in Lingzhou, there are two True Immortal Peak cultivators and one True Immortal Late Stage cultivator."

"With this kind of strength, it would be very difficult to completely defeat the Sand Demon, especially a Sand Demon with a fourth-level demon king."

"Even if it can be done, it will bring huge casualties to my Haoyang Lingzhou."

"This is definitely extremely unfair to the other families that have submitted to me."

"So please don't blame me, Master Chu."

Just now, both the Xue family and the Ning family expressed their intention to submit.

As long as he manages Haoyang Lingzhou well, other families from the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty will naturally come to join him.

There is no need to take such risks.

Hearing Chen Ling's refusal, a gloomy look flashed in the eyes of the head of the Chu family.

"Master Chen, if you agree to send troops to help my Chu family, I am willing to marry into the Chen family."

Chu Xianmo on the side said with a bow.

She was also a little anxious at this moment.

Originally, she did not agree with marrying Chen Ling.

But this was a family crisis, so she didn't think any more about it.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is joking."

"If I have the ability to help the Chu family, I will naturally help. I won't change my attitude because of you."

Chen Ling shook his head and said.

Although the more wives the better, he would not take such a risk.

Agreeing to marry Chu Xianmo would mean sending troops to Yunhai Lingzhou, which was totally unnecessary.

Seeing Chen Ling's attitude, Chu Xianmo's pretty face couldn't help but blush.

I was so humble, but I didn't expect to be rejected.

"If your Chu family is truly willing to submit to my Chen family, you can give up Yunhai Lingzhou and bring your clansmen to Haoyang Lingzhou."

"There is enough space in Lingzhou for you to stay."

Looking at the disappointed expressions of the two, Chen Ling pondered for a moment and said.

He was unwilling to take the risk of going to Yunhai Lingzhou.

But if someone from the Chu family came, he would be willing to accept them.

With the current area of ​​Haoyang Lingzhou, there would be no problem in accommodating a few more families.

"Ah, sorry for interrupting you."

Hearing Chen Ling's words, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

From Chen Ling's words, he could tell that Chen Ling would not take the risk of sending troops.

Obviously, Chen Ling was not sure that he could defeat the sand monster.

He also knew that he couldn't force it in this situation.

The other party is willing to provide a place for the Chu family to live.

This is already a big favor.

Thinking of this, he bowed to Chen Ling and said, "Thank you, Master Chen. Let me go back and discuss this matter with the ancestor."

"If you want to come and seek refuge, I will bring my people with me."

The head of the Chu family bowed to Chen Ling, then stood up and said goodbye.

"Master Chu, take care."

Chen Ling sent him out of Lingzhou.

"Master Chen, please stay!"

Chu Tianqi bowed to Chen Ling.

Then he said to Chu Xianmo, "Third sister, you stay."

"What our Chu family promised to the Chen family still counts."

Right now, there is no safe place in this desert, or even in the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty.

Haoyang Lingzhou is a very good place.

If the sand monster does not retreat, the Chu family will not be able to defend Yunhai Lingzhou without external assistance.

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before he brought his clansmen to join the Chen family.

Letting Chu Xianmo stay here can better consolidate the relationship with Chen Ling.

It will also be extremely beneficial for the Chu family in the future.

"Brother, the family is in danger now, how can I stay here peacefully?"

Chu Xianmo simply shook his head and refused.

"Third sister, in the current situation, you going back won't be of much use."

"Why not stay in Haoyang Lingzhou and cooperate with Patriarch Chen to make arrangements for our family's future affairs?"

Looking at Chu Xianmo, the head of the Chu family said seriously.

Even the seventh-rank families such as the Xue family and the Ning family are planning to submit to Chen Ling. As for the Chu family, what else is there to consider in this situation?

Submit as soon as possible, maybe you will get a higher status in the future.

"But?"

Chu Xianmo wanted to say something else.

Patriarch Chu had already jumped onto the Immortal Boat and bowed to Chen Ling, saying, "Patriarch Chen, I'll trouble you to take care of Xian Mo."

After he finished speaking, he steered the fairy boat and flew into the air.

"Hey!"

Watching the fairy boat leave, Chen Ling shook his head helplessly.

Then he said to Chu Xianmo, "Fellow Daoist Chu, the sand monster is very powerful. I'm sorry I can't help you with this matter."

"Master Chen, you are too kind. I am already very grateful for taking in a member of my Chu family."

Chu Xianmo and Chen Ling bowed in reply.

My impression of Chen Ling is not bad.

Although he married several wives, he managed Haoyang Lingzhou in an orderly manner, which showed that he was definitely capable.

Moreover, even the seventh-rank families such as the Xue family and the Ning family are planning to submit to him.

The strength is evident.

Afterwards, the two returned to Lingzhou. (End of this chapter)
