The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 110: Fang Family's Visit (Please Subscribe)

Several days have passed.

Inside the cultivation room, a half-meter-sized circular pit was filled with raging flames.

Above the flames, the purple liquid in the purple pill furnace was boiling, filling the air with a medicinal fragrance.

Chen Ling had instructed Meng Ping to bring the earth fire into the cultivation room, and with the help of the earth fire, he successfully refined the Qi-merging pill with two pill patterns.

However, he was not satisfied with this and had been studying diligently for half a month, hoping to refine the Qi-merging pill with three pill patterns.

After all, the Qi-merging pill with two pill patterns still contained a trace of pill poison, while the one with three pill patterns had almost none.

The process of refining the Qi-merging pill with three pill patterns was basically the same as that of the one with two pill patterns. The materials, pill furnace, and earth fire were all exactly the same. The only difference was that the control of spiritual power and divine sense in the process of refining the pill was more precise, allowing the medicinal power contained in the herbs to be completely fused without any dispersion, achieving the ultimate integration.

At this moment, the fusion of the medicinal herbs into pills was the crucial step.

He controlled the earth fire with his divine sense, slowly shrinking it, while the liquid in the pill furnace continued to boil.

In an instant, the medicinal herbs fused together, and a wave of pill fragrance filled the air.

Chen Ling was already sweating profusely. When he smelled the strong pill fragrance, he was overjoyed. "The Qi-merging pill with three pill patterns is complete!"

With a movement of his divine sense, the earth fire slowly extinguished and was sealed again.

Then he opened the pill furnace, revealing six black Qi-merging pills.

On the surface of the pills, there were three faint golden pill patterns.

Compared to the Qi-merging pills with two pill patterns, these six pills had a crystal-like luster on the surface.

There were fewer impurities.

Chen Ling let out a satisfied breath and reached out to collect the pills in a pill bottle. "Ah! I still have to refine pills in the future. It seems that I am destined to be busy!"

"I don't have enough time at all."

...

The following days became monotonous and boring.

Various affairs in the clan were progressing in an orderly manner under the management of Shen Zhen and Qin Yelian.

Chen Ling was happy to be a bystander.

Every day, besides refining pills, refining tools, and cultivating, he would spend time with his wife and children.

Everything was peaceful and content.

Of course, he didn't completely ignore everything. From time to time, he would check on the sense of belonging of the clan members.

As long as the sense of belonging to the clan increased, he would not interfere.

However, the Star Sword Sect and the Jinshan Market were not as calm.

The Star Sword Sect tried to break through the blockade of the Qingyang Sect on the mine twice, but the casualties were not small, and the situation did not meet expectations.

They were unable to completely drive away the cultivators of the Qingyang Sect.

But there were some improvements. They successfully opened up a passage.

This allowed the minerals from the mine to be transported out.

The prices of the market's magical artifacts also gradually fell.

The advantage of the Chen Family's magical artifacts was gradually diminishing.

But fortunately, the foundation was still stable.

In addition to self-production and self-sales, the profits had decreased significantly.

Shen Zhen was also eager to explore new markets and frequently went to the Hundred Beasts Sect.

...

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

Spring had turned into summer.

The early summer sun shone into the courtyard, creating ripples of light and shadow, with tiny specks of dust floating in the air.

The sky was a deep blue, and the cicadas had already started chirping.

Around the spacious courtyard corridor, tall green bamboo plants had been planted, which Qin Wumei had transplanted from the Qin Family's medicinal garden. They could purify the spiritual energy in the air.

This made the spiritual energy in the entire courtyard more pure and abundant.

Underneath the green bamboo plants were clusters of fire lotus flowers. The fire lotus flowers grew rapidly, and in just over a month, they had grown several red leaves.

On the right side of the courtyard, Chen Ling had set up a bamboo rack for drying clothes.

At this moment, Xiaoping An was using mud to build a magnificent Great Wall next to the bamboo rack.

Chen Ling was lying on a rattan chair, leisurely drinking spiritual tea.

This was his only leisure time after lunch.

"I have already accumulated 145 points of incense value. It's time to add some!" Chen Ling calculated in his mind after taking a sip of tea.

"Family Head, Elder Wu and the Fang Family's Patriarch have come to visit!"

At this moment, Qin Tong hurriedly walked into the courtyard and bowed to Chen Ling.

"Elder Wu! Master Fang!"

Chen Ling was slightly startled and quickly got up, walking out of the small courtyard.

He hurried to the family meeting hall.

In the hall, Shen Zhen was entertaining Elder Wu Wang Hai and Fang He from the Fang family.

Wang Hai looked spirited, his voice loud, and he seemed unchanged at first glance. However, upon closer observation, there seemed to be a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

Although Fang He had a smiling face, he occasionally looked towards the door, giving the impression that his mind was elsewhere.

"Greetings, Elder Wu and Master Fang!"

Chen Ling entered the hall and bowed to the two.

"Friend Chen!"

"Master Chen!"

The two also got up and returned the gesture.

Although both of them were Foundation Building cultivators, they treated Chen Ling with the courtesy of peers.

Moreover, the current situation in the Chen family's valley surprised them greatly.

"Friend Chen, your luck is extraordinary! I have passed through this valley countless times in the past, but I never discovered the spiritual vein hidden here!"

After a few simple greetings, they sat down again. Fang He smiled enviously and said, "It was discovered by chance by a member of our clan, it was also a stroke of luck!" Chen Ling replied.

His gaze swept over the two, and he cautiously asked, "I wonder what Elder Wu and Master Fang have come for this time?"

Wang Hai put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, "Naturally, it's good news!"

Chen Ling waited attentively for the continuation.

Wang Hai managed the Jinshan market, and recently there were said to be two consecutive attacks on cultivators. If it wasn't a major matter, he wouldn't easily leave the market.

But what major matter could there be in this remote place that was worth Wang Hai's personal visit?

Chen Ling couldn't guess the situation for a moment.

His gaze quietly swept over Shen Zhen, seeing that he also had a bewildered expression.

"Master Chen, to be frank, this time I am entrusted by Master Fang to come here specifically to propose a marriage for the Fang family!" Wang Hai coughed lightly and said with a smile.

The auxiliary spiritual herbs he needed for his cultivation had always been provided by the Fang family.

Their relationship was also quite good.

A few days ago, Fang He had sent him two 500-year-old spiritual herbs and asked him to come to the Chen family to propose a marriage for the Fang family.

Thinking that Chen Ling had already married several concubines, this matter should not be difficult to handle!

Coincidentally, he also had something to do in the western region, so he agreed to come!

"Propose a marriage for the Fang family?"

Chen Ling was slightly stunned, his gaze sweeping over Fang He.

Wearing a white dress, with a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance, it seemed acceptable.

Seeing Chen Ling's gaze, Fang He blushed and hurriedly said, "Master Chen, please don't misunderstand, this time it is a marriage proposal for my two nieces."

"They are twin sisters, both in their twenties, with cultivation in the late Qi Refining stage. Their appearance and figure are absolutely outstanding."

"Twin sisters?"

Chen Ling looked surprised.

He never expected that the two of them would come to visit and actually propose a marriage for himself, and they were beautiful twin sisters in the late Qi Refining stage. What a good thing!

Chen Ling felt a sense of unreality!

It felt like a pie falling from the sky!

But the Fang family was also a Foundation Building family that had been around for hundreds of years. Would they easily marry off two cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage to him?

"Friend Chen, I have already made a promise to Friend Fang that this matter will definitely succeed! What do you think?"

Wang Hai also said with a hearty laugh.

"In addition, Master Chen, I have an unpleasant request. The land to the north of this valley is still undeveloped. Can the Chen family lease it to the Fang family?"

Fang He also said with a smile.

"This?"

Chen Ling finally understood. Fang He was interested in the spiritual land to the north.

But marrying off two cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage at once was a big investment.

It seemed that in the eyes of others, having multiple concubines was probably seen as a sign of being unable to satisfy one's desires!

【Hint: Successfully taking concubines will earn you 50 Incense Points.】

At this moment, the panel displayed another prompt.
