Swordholder

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and spoke again, his tone firm: "That's right, I have three hundred and sixty-one spiritual apertures!"

"My realm is the Great Perfection of the Dharma Body Realm, the Great Perfection of the Dharma Body Realm at the age of sixteen!"

As he spoke, he simply revealed the number of his spiritual apertures one by one, while simultaneously releasing his aura of cultivation level.

In an instant, a vortex of energy enveloped Chen Yuan, along with a dense layer of magical power.

Suddenly, Chen Qingcang and Chen Guohai's eyes widened, and they even rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen wrong.

But the thick and powerful blood energy, and the physical strength as strong as refined steel, were really impacting their minds!

hiss!

The elderly man and the middle-aged man exchanged a glance, both unable to help but take a deep breath, seeing profound shock in each other's eyes.

No matter how much Chen Qingcang searched through all the records in his family's classic texts, he had never seen a human being able to open all 361 spiritual apertures!

Even in the three thousand years of history of the Great Xiang Empire, there has never been such a record.

But the spiritual apertures on the young man's body were real and tangible, not faked, constantly challenging their preconceived notions!

Could it be... that this boy has some kind of special constitution?

Chen Qingcang was filled with doubts, and he slowly took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

"Hmph, having many spiritual apertures actually means you'll need more time to cultivate, right?"

At this moment, Chen Guohai suddenly thought of something and asked with some doubt, "Won't your cultivation speed slow down in the later stages?"

"Would it even require consuming more White Pills and Purifying Pills to purify the polluted spiritual energy within the body?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingcang instantly realized what was happening and fixed his gaze on Chen Yuan once again, awaiting his reply.

Chen Zhaoning couldn't help but feel nervous, secretly worried that the exposure of Chen Yuan's extraordinary abilities would bring unpredictable consequences.

"I am immune to the influence of demons and evil spirits."

Chen Yuan slowly opened his mouth and uttered a shocking statement.

Chen Qingcang and Chen Guohai exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disdain and skepticism, as if to say, "Do you think we're idiots?"

"Buzz!"

Chen Yuan said no more and raised his right hand!

In an instant, a deep black light condensed in his palm, which was pure demonic spiritual power.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his left hand, and a bright, dazzling, and soul-chilling red light suddenly shone, making Chen Qingcang and Chen Guohai's eyelids twitch wildly!

This red light is clearly the malevolent power of a demonic spirit!

"You... what are you doing...?"

Even though Chen Qingcang was a calm and steady man, he couldn't help but speak in a trembling voice at this moment.

He had only ever seen such effortless control over demonic and malevolent spirits in beast demons and evil spirits.

"What kind of anomaly are you?"

Chen Guohai swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

Chen Yuan slowly withdrew the black and red light from his palms and gathered his hands together in front of his chest.

In the next instant, a dazzling white light burst forth from his palm!

hum!

That ball of white light was dazzling and vast, the purest and most righteous energy cultivated by human cultivators.

"Oh my god, this, this is..."

Chen Qingcang and Chen Guohai's eyes widened in shock! They gasped again!

This time, their understanding was completely overturned, and they simply couldn't believe what they were seeing.

After a long while, Chen Qingcang finally managed to calm himself down and stared intently at Chen Yuan once again:

"Can you guarantee that you won't lose your mind and become a madman or demon who only knows how to kill insanely?"

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept behind Chen Yuan and landed on Nuomi, who was hugging his leg and secretly looking at him.

Chen Yuan hugged Nuomi from behind him, looked firmly at Chen Qingcang, and said in a deep voice:

"At least so far, I have never experienced a loss of consciousness."

Chen Qingcang and Chen Guohai fell silent, their brows furrowed, seemingly weighing the pros and cons and pondering the matter carefully.

Chen Zhaoning grew increasingly nervous, her gaze darting back and forth between her grandfather, second uncle, and Chen Yuan, her heart filled with trepidation.

Chen Yuan remained calm and said no more.

He has already revealed his trump card and its value. Whether the Chen family is willing to bet on it depends on whether they have the vision and courage to do so.

In his view, the Chen family must have it!

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to become one of the four great families of the human race in Tianqing County.

"Heh, kid, aren't you afraid I'll send you to the Wuxiang Sect?"

Finally, Chen Qingcang spoke, staring at Chen Yuan again with a meaningful look on his lips.

Then, he pointed to Chen Guohai beside him, "He is the Grand Director of the Wuxiang Sect, and his position is equivalent to that of Xu Zhihua, whom you killed."

"The Divine Blood Pavilion of the Formless Sect specializes in researching mutated bloodlines and divine seeds. Someone with your physique... tsk tsk, sending you to the Formless Sect would be a great achievement."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhaoning's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said:

"Grandpa, you can't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Guohai glared at him coldly, forcing him to shut his mouth in frustration, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Chen Qingcang's words sent a chill down Chen Yuan's spine.

The other party actually knew that he and Lu Chengfeng had killed a high-ranking official?

It was obvious that the Chen family's intelligence network was far more powerful than he had imagined!

Moreover, if the other party really wanted to send him to the Wuxiang Sect, they wouldn't have escorted them back to the Chen family... This is clearly the core territory of the Chen family, not a place for transporting prisoners.

"Sending us to the Wuxiang Sect would actually prevent us from maximizing our value."

Chen Yuan understood and smiled slowly.

He looked calmly at Chen Qingcang and said, "I'm sure the old man knows better than anyone that offering help in times of need is far better than adding flowers to brocade."

"In the future, it would be better for the Chen family to have a peerless talent as a close friend than to receive a trivial credit from the Wuxiang Sect, wouldn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingcang squinted and stared at Chen Yuan for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter. His hearty laughter broke the silence and oppression in the hall.

"Hahaha, little guy, well said! Well said!"

Chen Qingcang stood up, his face full of approval, strode to Chen Yuan, stared into his eyes, and suddenly asked,

"Little fellow, my Chen family has countless pills, plenty of manpower, and plenty of Yang Gold, Moon Silver, Star Bronze, and top-notch cultivation techniques!"

If my Chen family were to fully support you, what kind of assistance would you most like to receive from my Chen family?

Upon hearing this question, even Li Wei, who was standing to the side, looked at Chen Yuan with curiosity.

If it were him, he would definitely want them all!

First, focus on improving your cultivation level; after all, in this chaotic world, strength is the most important thing.

Chen Yuan met Chen Qingcang's deep gaze and, without the slightest hesitation, slowly gave his answer: "I want the Chen family to be my eyes."

Chen Zhaoning and Li Wei were both taken aback, their faces filled with confusion.

"Hehe, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Qingcang's smile deepened as he patiently pressed for an answer.

Chen Yuan clasped his hands and bowed, his tone respectful and earnest: "I am still young and my mind is not yet stable. As I am new to this chaotic world, I am bound to make mistakes and be careless at times."

Therefore, I need the Chen family to open my eyes for my son, or rather, to stand in for his eyes and help me see clearly the wickedness of people's hearts and the thorns on the road ahead in this chaotic world.

"Only in this way can I take each step steadily in the future and avoid making a single wrong step... After all, in this chaotic world, one wrong step will lead to utter ruin."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingcang was stunned for a few moments, then burst into laughter again.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

This time, the laughter was full of satisfaction.

Even Chen Guohai, who had maintained a calm demeanor, revealed genuine satisfaction in his eyes.

This kid in front of me is giving up the Chen family's world-renowned pills, Yang Gold Moon Silver, and cultivation techniques. Instead, he only asks the Chen family to guide him on his way, to be his guiding light, and to help him avoid risks!

This clearly indicates that they want the Chen family to personally teach him how to conduct himself and navigate the chaotic world!

This clarity and composure are not found in ordinary young people.

"So, Grandpa intends to make A-Yuan a retainer for the Chen family?"

Chen Zhaoning finally couldn't contain himself and excitedly asked.

"What offerings?"

Chen Qingcang glared at Chen Zhaoning, feigning displeasure with a cold snort, but his tone was filled with undisguised doting affection, "From now on, he is your own younger brother, and even more so, the pride of the Chen family!"

"Huh?" Chen Zhaoning was completely stunned, her eyes widened, and she almost thought she had misheard.

Even Chen Yuan and Li Wei were stunned, unsure of how to react.

Chen Yuan originally thought that the Chen family would at most make them into worshippers and support them for the time being.

They can serve the Chen family again in the future.

But Chen Qingcang's words meant he wanted to acknowledge him as his grandson?
