Immortal Martial Arts Son-in-Law: Having Too Many Wives Isn't My Fault
Chapter 44 A Secret Summons in the Dead of Night: The Peach Blossom Calamity
If they want to take another step forward in the future, it will probably be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Furthermore.
He had only just begun to master the Mighty Bull Demon Skill.
The mid-grade Spirit Rank cultivation technique is far more exquisite and complex than the Iron Rhinoceros Technique he practiced before.
Getting started is just the beginning.
The subsequent cultivation path and the characteristics of the techniques will require time to figure out.
If one is greedy for momentary pleasure and eager to make a breakthrough, then one is putting the cart before the horse.
Chen Hao carefully put away the Breakthrough Pill, slowly stood up, and pushed open the door.
The cold winter wind swept in, carrying the faint fragrance of the yellow wintersweet in the yard.
Chen Hao stood at the door, squinting as he looked into the courtyard.
There was one more person in the yard.
A middle-aged woman dressed in gray cloth was squatting by the well washing clothes.
This is Wu Ma from the Su family's servants' quarters.
Su Wanqing smiled when she saw him emerge from seclusion.
"Has my husband emerged from seclusion?"
Chen Hao nodded, his gaze passing over her and landing on Wu Ma.
"The Third Elder sent someone three days ago, saying that you have made contributions to the family in alchemy, and this is the Su family's way of expressing their gratitude. In addition to Wu Ma, they also sent two bags of spirit rice and some daily necessities."
Chen Hao paused for a moment.
That old fellow Su Henian is quick to act.
Chen Hao knew in his heart that his status in the Su family was different from before.
He used to be the son-in-law of the Su family, a son-in-law who married into the family, which was considered a kind of master-master.
To put it bluntly, he's an outsider.
But things are different now. After demonstrating his value, he is now a son-in-law who can refine elixirs using water magic, a useful son-in-law.
The difference is huge.
"Husband, what is your cultivation level?"
Just then, Su Wanqing sensed Chen Hao's aura.
A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"I recently had a stroke of luck, and my cultivation has improved considerably."
Chen Hao didn't explain much.
Now that his Qi Refining Level 6 cultivation is stable, he has also mastered the basics of the Mighty Bull Demon Technique.
Having obtained the Hundred Herbs Furnace, I can say that I have embarked on the path of alchemy.
But the 60,000 catties of spiritual grain are still in hand.
Grain prices are currently skyrocketing.
The price has risen to six spirit stones for one hundred catties, and sixty thousand catties of spirit grain costs three thousand six hundred spirit stones.
What does this mean?
The entire skeleton of that second-tier Iron-Spine Demon Tiger cost only three hundred spirit stones.
Three thousand six hundred spirit stones can buy twelve sets.
But the more this was the case, the less Chen Hao wanted to sell it.
In the following days.
Chen Hao takes Tiger Bone Strengthening Pills daily to consolidate his cultivation, and in his spare time he practices the accompanying boxing stances of the Mighty Bull Demon Skill in the courtyard.
The biggest difference between Spirit-rank and Fine-quality cultivation techniques lies in the path of mana circulation.
Although both are body-refining techniques, the Iron Rhinoceros Technique only delivers brute force when unleashed.
When the Mighty Bull Demon Skill is activated, the wind from the punch carries the low roar of the demon bull, and the force can penetrate through muscles and bones.
This day.
A message spread throughout the Su family.
The Su family's sacred land, Peach Blossom Village, was seized by the Bai Yuan Zhao family.
If this news had happened normally, the entire Su family would have been in an uproar.
Although the Su family has gradually declined in recent years, it has been rooted in Qingzhu Mountain for hundreds of years, and its heritage should not be underestimated.
Back then, it was all for the right to mine a bamboo forest.
The Su family fought for three whole years, losing more than a dozen clansmen, but they didn't back down an inch.
However, ever since the Su family lost the last battle with the Bai Yuan Zhao family over the mines, their power has been waning.
This time, the entire Su family nursing home actually issued a gag order.
Discussion is strictly prohibited.
Chen Hao didn't inquire about it.
He was the son-in-law of the Su family, but in the end, he was still an outsider.
There are some things he shouldn't know; asking them would only cause trouble for himself.
However, even though he didn't seek out trouble, trouble came to him.
That afternoon, Chen Hao was meditating and adjusting his breathing in the quiet room when someone suddenly knocked on the courtyard gate.
Chen Hao opened his eyes and got up to open the door.
A middle-aged man with an ordinary face stood outside the door.
However, Chen Hao noticed that the man's breathing was long and silent when he was standing, his ten fingers had unusually large knuckles, and there was a thick layer of calluses on the base of his thumb.
Those calluses weren't from working, they were from holding a knife.
Clearly, this person is no ordinary individual; he is either a skilled swordsman or someone whose cultivation far surpasses his.
"Young Master Chen, the Third Elder requests your presence."
Chen Hao glanced at him, then nodded.
He had been with the Su family for quite some time, but had never seen this person before.
Logically speaking, someone with such cultivation level shouldn't be an unknown figure in the Su family.
Chen Hao quickly figured it out.
This person is probably a member of the Su family's "Divine Guard".
The Su Family Divine Guard is an extremely secretive force within the Su family, directly under the control of the family head, and even the Elder Council has no authority to mobilize it.
Chen Hao only learned of the existence of the secret guards because Su Wanqing had mentioned it unintentionally once.
She said that when she was a child, she saw a person covered in blood come in through the back door in the middle of the night, and the next day the person seemed to have vanished into thin air.
She asked her father who that person was, and Su Zhenshan only said three words: "Divine Guard".
After that, Su Wanqing never saw that person again.
For the secret guards to personally come and invite them, this is no small matter.
"What do you need me for?"
The middle-aged man turned slightly to the side and gestured for them to proceed.
"You'll find out when Mr. Chen arrives."
Chen Hao didn't ask any more questions. He went back to his room, changed into clean clothes, and then followed him out the door.
The two walked one after the other through the courtyards of the Su residence.
The middle-aged man took all the secluded paths, avoiding all the visible and hidden sentries.
After many twists and turns, we arrived at an inconspicuous bamboo grove behind the Su family mansion.
Deep in the bamboo forest, there is an artificial mountain, its rock walls covered with moss.
The middle-aged man reached out and pressed a spot on the stone wall, followed by a dull mechanical sound.
At the base of the artificial hill, a hidden door was revealed, just wide enough for one person to bend down and pass through.
Behind the hidden door is a stone staircase leading downwards.
Chen Hao followed the other person for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and when they reached the end of the stone steps, the view suddenly opened up before them.
This is a rather spacious secret room.
The four walls are made of bluestone, and there are nine oil lamps on the top arranged in a nine-square grid.
The moment Chen Hao stepped into the secret chamber, he felt a strange array power instantly envelop his entire body.
He looked up and saw that there were already more than a dozen people standing in the secret room.
However, those people seemed to be concealed by a special array, and their appearances and figures were completely unrecognizable.
After a short while, some people in the secret room couldn't contain themselves and began to whisper among themselves.
Chen Hao was sitting quietly when he suddenly felt someone gently touch his elbow on his right.
He glanced to the side, but could only see a blurry outline. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't make it out clearly.
"Brother."
The man lowered his voice, and even his altered voice sounded quite different from usual.
"Do you know why we have been summoned tonight?"
Chen Hao shook his head slightly.
"I don't know."
He never strikes up a conversation with someone for no reason.
Especially in such an unfamiliar environment, they adhered to the style of speaking less and observing more.
I don't want to say a word in this situation.
The identities of everyone sitting in this secret room are concealed by an array, making it impossible to see each other's faces, and even their voices have been altered.
This suggests that the organizers never intended for them to recognize each other.
In that case, striking up a conversation with someone rashly would not only break the rules, but also make it easy for them to trick you into revealing information.
Thirdly, who knows what the person asking the question is thinking?
Seeing that Chen Hao was sparing with his words, the man wisely shut his mouth and sat still, mimicking Chen Hao's posture.
Silence returned to the secret room, and after a short while, a series of steady footsteps came from the depths of the passageway.
"Those who have come this time are all outstanding talents of the Su family! I will speak frankly about some things."
