The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 108: New Guest Elder (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Friend Chen, you brought in the Earth Fire without even giving a greeting to your neighbor. That's really impolite!"

From the sky, a hoarse voice came, carrying an air of wanting to question and punish.

Immediately after, a fiery figure descended from the sky.

It was the Fire Spirit Beast.

"So it's Friend Fire!" Chen Ling smiled and clasped his fists.

He wasn't afraid of the imposing Fire Spirit Beast.

He had already set up the Azure Dragon Sword Formation, so as long as the Fire Spirit Beast dared to make a move, it would be annihilated by the formation in minutes.

But this Fire Spirit Beast seemed to keep its promises. Since the last conflict, it hadn't harassed anyone from the Chen family again.

Both sides were considered to be at peace.

Chen Ling also thought it was better to have fewer troubles, so he acknowledged this neighbor.

If the Fire Spirit Beast dared to cause trouble now, he wouldn't mind activating the Azure Dragon Sword Formation and killing it.

It would be a good opportunity to test the power of the formation.

Meng Ping also put away the formation disk and sealed the Earth Fire back into the ground. He stared cautiously at the Fire Spirit Beast.

"Friend Chen, there's no need to be nervous. This king came here this time to cooperate with you!"

The Fire Spirit Bird stopped a few dozen feet in front of Chen Ling, speaking with an air of arrogance and authority.

"Cooperate?" Chen Ling asked calmly.

He had experienced the cunning of this Fire Spirit Beast before.

Now, its attitude of being respectful after being arrogant was really not praiseworthy.

The Fire Spirit Beast stared at Chen Ling and chuckled twice. "This king sees that there are many people from the Chen family, but their strength is just average."

"For the sake of being neighbors, I can protect the safety of your Chen family."

"Of course, this isn't free. You need to give me a top-grade artifact every day, preferably a spiritual artifact!"

The Fire Spirit Beast spoke confidently.

It had the appearance of saying that the Chen family couldn't survive without its protection.

"One top-grade artifact a day? Do you think top-grade artifacts are snacks?" Chen Ling said with a laugh, both angry and amused.

"How did you know?"

The Fire Spirit Beast asked in surprise.

Chen Ling was taken aback. He had just said it casually and didn't expect the Fire Spirit Beast to actually eat artifacts.

But thinking about how some demonic bloodlines were incredibly powerful, eating artifacts didn't seem impossible.

"Friend has a good appetite, being able to eat artifacts!" Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Of course, my Fire Spirit Demon Clan has a unique bloodline talent. By eating the treasures refined by your human race, I can improve my cultivation!"

After speaking, it glanced at Chen Ling, seemingly looking down on his lack of knowledge.

"Eating treasures to improve cultivation?" Chen Ling couldn't help but be surprised. He had never heard of this before.

Suddenly, he had a thought and said with a smile, "Friend Fire must have taken a liking to the treasures in my hands. We can discuss this!"

"How can we discuss it? I won't hide it from you. The artifacts you refine are definitely the most delicious delicacies I've ever tasted!"

Speaking of this, the Fire Spirit Beast licked its lips, seemingly drooling.

Ever since it ate two artifacts from Chen Ling last time, it had been thinking about them nonstop.

Its awakened demonic bloodline was the Profound Fire Bloodline, which could advance by devouring treasures!

That was why it sought out Chen Ling!

Chen Ling rubbed his chin and said seriously, "If you want to obtain the artifacts in my hands, you have to become a guest elder of my Chen family!"

This Fire Spirit Beast had a decent bloodline and was already at the second stage. It also had two giant birds under its command that were no weaker than the early Foundation Building stage.

If it is included in the Chen family, it will increase the strength of three Foundation Building cultivators.

The overall strength will greatly improve.

The Fire Spirit Beast fell silent for a moment, then shook its head and said, "I have noble bloodline, how can I listen to a weak human like you?"

"Then forget it! Pretend I didn't say anything, and you didn't come!" Seeing the struggling attitude of the Fire Spirit Beast, Chen Ling smiled and said.

It seems that the intelligence of this Fire Spirit Beast is sometimes high and sometimes low!

He waved to Meng Ping and said, "Meng Keqing, let's go back!"

After speaking, he pretended to step away from the mountaintop.

After walking about ten zhang, seeing that the Fire Spirit Beast had no reaction, he was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Then he turned around and solemnly shouted at the Fire Spirit Beast, "Friend Fire, this mountain range is a sacred place of my Chen family. Please do not enter in the future!"

The Fire Spirit Bird flapped its wings, a fiery red light flashed by, and then appeared in front of Chen Ling again. It licked its tongue and said, "After careful consideration, I accept the invitation of Friend Chen and become a guest of the Chen family."

"But as a friend, you must give me at least three spiritual treasures every month!"

Chen Ling was overjoyed in his heart, but immediately shook his head and said, "According to the treatment of a guest of the family, I can only give you a maximum of five top-grade magical treasures every month as your reward!"

"Five? You are being too stingy!" The Fire Spirit Beast said discontentedly.

Chen Ling was confident and naturally wouldn't indulge the other party. He said sternly, "Friend Fire, whether you agree or not, the head of the family is busy and doesn't have time to chat with you!"

"Fine, five it is!" The Fire Spirit Beast's tone was extremely unwilling, but it reluctantly agreed.

"Good, it's a deal. This is the guest contract of my Chen family. Please drop your blood into it."

Chen Ling took out the contract from his storage ring, made some modifications, and handed it to the Fire Spirit Beast.

The Fire Spirit Beast didn't even look at the contract, and said firmly, "Our Fire Spirit Demon Clan has always been trustworthy. We are not like your fickle human race. What we say naturally counts, there's no need for such things!"

"If the Chen family encounters danger, I will naturally lend a hand!"

[Hint: The family has gained a guest, a Fire Spirit Beast with the bloodline of a land demon. Incense value +40.]

Seeing the prompt on the panel, Chen Ling immediately put away the contract and praised, "Friend Fire, you are truly a model of integrity!"

In just half a day, he gained 80 incense values, and he was in a great mood!

"These two top-grade magical treasures will be the reward for the Fire Guest this month!"

Chen Ling, for once, was generous. With a thought, he took out two top-grade magical treasures from his storage ring, the Fiery Blade!

He said solemnly.

Seeing the magical treasures, the eyes of the Fire Spirit Beast immediately lit up. It flapped its wings, and a fiery red light swept out, taking the two treasures into its hands.

"This is the tempting taste!"

The Fire Spirit Beast deeply inhaled the scent of the Fiery Blade, a hint of heat flashed in its eyes.

Then it stuck out its tongue and directly put the Fiery Blade into its mouth in front of the two.

In the next moment, it began to chew.

Seeing the Fire Spirit Beast enjoying the Fiery Blade as if it were a delicacy, Chen Ling and Meng Ping exchanged glances.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

In a moment, the two top-grade magical treasures were completely consumed by the Fire Spirit Beast.

"Chen Family Master, is there any other way to quickly obtain treasures from your hands?"

The Fire Spirit Beast said with a lingering desire.

"Of course there is. Friend Fire can exchange for treasures from my Chen family by earning contribution points."

"For example, killing enemies of my Chen family or finding mineral veins for my Chen family can earn a large number of contribution points."

Chen Ling said persuasively.

Hearing this, the Fire Spirit Beast furrowed its brows and pondered for a moment, then shook its head and said, "There doesn't seem to be any other resources around here except for the earth fire!"

"Friend Fire, there's no rush for this. There will be plenty of time in the future."

Chen Ling said as he leaped towards the foot of the mountain.
