The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 290: Gold Core Fifth Transformation and Lu Ningzhu's Pregnancy

Chen Family, cultivation room.

Incense value: 1530

Chen Ling opened the panel.

The accumulated incense value over the past half month has already exceeded 1500.

Currently, the daily routine incense value obtained is 82, plus occasional rewards.

"Then let's increase the spiritual roots first!"

Chen Ling took a deep breath. The main reason for increasing the spiritual roots this time was to complement the recently obtained Holy Infant Fruit.

With Chen Ling's current Supreme Grade Spirit Root aptitude, each point of improvement would enhance the effect of the Holy Infant Fruit.

As his divine sense moved to the + behind the spiritual roots.

In the next moment, a familiar and majestic heat flow poured into his body from the void, then circulated through his meridians like a blazing Flood Dragon, and finally returned to his Qi Sea.

At this moment, Chen Ling moved his mind and decisively swallowed the thumb-sized red Holy Infant Fruit.

The Holy Infant Fruit melted as soon as it entered his mouth, instantly condensing into a scorching spiritual power, releasing a wave of heat.

The Qianyuan True Technique immediately started operating automatically, rapidly absorbing and refining the fiery medicinal power.

At the same time, strands of condensed and substantial fire spiritual energy around his body were quickly drawn into his body.

The entire cultivation room was filled with a distorted and blazing light.

And Chen Ling, in the center of the light, was like a scorching sun.

...

After a stick of incense, the increase in points had already ended, and the medicinal power of the Holy Infant Fruit had been completely absorbed.

Chen Ling glanced at the panel.

Spiritual Roots: Four Elements Supreme Grade Spirit Root (Gold, Wood, Fire, Earth, 49/100)(+)

High Grade Pseudo Thunder Spirit Root (32/100)(+)

Realm: Gold Core Fifth Transformation (2/100)

...

"Gold Core Fifth Transformation!"

"It truly deserves to be a thousand-year spiritual fruit!"

Chen Ling's expression was excited, unable to help but exclaim softly.

At this moment, the Gold Core in his Qi Sea had clearly increased in size, as if surrounded by a faint flame aura.

The Flame Domain became even more powerful.

"Before reaching fifty, achieving Gold Core Fifth Transformation can only be done by those Soul Formation family disciples with Earth Grade spiritual roots!"

Chen Ling was excited in his heart.

However, compared to Yun'er, he still fell short.

With a single breath, Chen Ling suppressed his excitement.

Although it was only a small level of improvement, his mana had also increased by about thirty percent.

Generally speaking, only when one broke through to the late stage of Gold Core would there be a qualitative change in strength.

"In these two days, Ning'er will give birth. I wonder what reward there will be?"

Chen Ling muttered to himself, filled with anticipation.

If another Holy Infant Fruit came, he would make a big profit.

As Chen Ling continued to consolidate his cultivation and circulate his spiritual power, he compressed the unfinished puppet crystal in his body.

There were already two puppet crystals in his storage ring.

Each had been nurtured for close to a month.

These two puppet crystals were no less valuable than Supreme Grade spirit stones.

The inherent attributes contained within them could enhance the power of the puppets by even twenty to thirty percent.

If a Rank Four early-stage thunder attribute puppet was activated, its combat power would pose a huge threat to a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, the cost of refining puppet crystals was not small. It would consume a large amount of mana and time, causing their cultivation to stagnate for a period of time.

Very few Nascent Soul cultivators were willing to do so.

However, although Chen Ling was only a Gold Core cultivator, he had the inherent thunder attribute and could quickly condense high-quality spiritual cores. With the help of the Five Extremes Thunder Flame, the time required for refining was less than one-tenth of other cultivators.

The cost-effectiveness of these puppet crystals was very high.

However, due to his slightly insufficient mana, the spiritual power contained in these puppet crystals could only activate the puppet's attacks once or twice.

After several hours, Chen Ling felt that the Five Extremes Thunder Flame had been significantly depleted before he stopped refining.

With a thought, he let the Five Extremes Thunder Flame enter the Fire Tribulation Pool to recover and recuperate.

As his cultivation improved, the growth rate of the spiritual flames such as the Five Absolute Thunder Flame and the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame also increased slightly.

...

Two days later.

Lingzhu Lu also gave birth.

Sitting at the bedside, looking at the baby in the swaddle, squinting his eyes, the crying sound of the baby was particularly loud.

Chen Ling's face was filled with joy.

At the same time, a notification panel appeared.

[Notification: Your wife Lingzhu Lu has given birth to a High Grade Thunder and Spatial Spiritual Root male baby, +100 Incense Value, reward of a Thousand Year Spirit Fruit Dragon Blood Fruit.]

[Dragon Blood Fruit: Rank Four Supreme Grade spiritual fruit, can refine bloodline and enhance blood qi cultivation.]

A blood-red fruit appeared in his hand, and with a thought, he directly stored it in his storage ring.

"Refining the bloodline seems to have little effect on oneself!"

Chen Ling thought to himself.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Lu Lingzhu, who was beside him, looked at Chen Ling with some distraction and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just thinking about what name to give the child."

Chen Ling smiled and said.

Then he asked again, "Has the father been informed about the birth of the child?"

Lu Lingzhu shook her head, "Father has been in seclusion for cultivation recently. Let's give him a surprise when he comes out in a few days!"

After discussing for a while, they decided to name the child Xingzheng.

After chatting with his wives for a while, Chen Ling handed the child to Lu Lingzhu before leaving the room.

In the cultivation room, Chen Ling looked at the faint blood-colored fluorescence emanating from the Dragon Blood Fruit in his hand, and the pure and vigorous blood qi. He fell into deep thought.

"Obviously, the effect of taking this Dragon Blood Fruit myself is limited!"

"It's better to give it to a Spirit Beast."

"And now, my three Spirit Beasts, the Golden Fire Crow, the Three-Colored Jade Butterfly, and the Green Flood Dragon, have all reached Rank Four, and the Green Flood Dragon is at Rank Three Late Stage."

"Which Spirit Beast is suitable to take it?"

The Golden Fire Crow and the Three-Colored Jade Butterfly have played a significant role for Chen Ling. Without the assistance of puppets, they are the main combat force.

However, the Green Flood Dragon has now grown to Rank Three Late Stage, and its strength is no less than that of the Golden Fire Crow and the others.

Chen Ling is just worried that news of its Dragon Race bloodline will leak out.

So he has never let it take action.

In addition, his cultivation of the "War Dragon Body Refining Technique" requires the blood of the Green Flood Dragon.

The Green Flood Dragon's cultivation and bloodline enhancement are of great help to him.

Chen Ling quickly made a decision.

...

Afternoon.

Yudie Mountain.

A powerful demonic energy burst forth, almost instantly enveloping the entire Yudie Mountain.

Roar!

Hiss!

In the south of Yudie Mountain, the Chen family's beast pen.

The Spirit Beasts were terrified, feeling a tremendous suppression in their bodies, trembling uncontrollably.

In front of the Transcending Tribulation Cave Mansion.

A fierce and ferocious Green Flood Dragon, reaching a size of seven or eight zhang, its whole body shining with a sharp and mysterious golden light.

The fluctuation of its blood qi has already reached Rank Four Initial Stage.

The effect of the Dragon Blood Fruit is indeed formidable.

Standing in front of the Cave Mansion, Chen Ling smiled.

In fact, with the growth rate of the Green Flood Dragon, it is not surprising that it will reach Rank Four by the end of the year.

In the beast pen, the Green Flood Dragon consumes Rank Two Spirit Medicine almost every day, occasionally even Rank Three.

And with Hu Wan'er's Spirit Beast, the Fire Phoenix, as a sparring partner, although it is always on the receiving end, its strength is improving day by day.

With its powerful bloodline, there will be no obstacles to its promotion to Rank Five.

The Dragon Blood Fruit is just icing on the cake.

However, in terms of bloodline, there is only a slight improvement, still at the Heavenly Rank Middle Grade.

At the level of the Green Flood Dragon, it would be very difficult to further enhance the bloodline.

Chen Ling had no expectations in this regard.

As long as the Qing Flood Dragon can successfully grow to Rank Five, the future will be boundless.

Chen Ling immediately checked the attributes of the Qing Flood Dragon.

Spirit Pet: Qing Flood Dragon

Bloodline: Heavenly Rank Middle Grade

Realm: Rank Four Initial Stage

Skills: Thunder Blade, Five-Colored Flames

Bloodline Divine Ability: Azure Dragon Shattering the Sky

[Sense of Family Belonging: 100%]

Closing the panel, Chen Ling was also filled with anticipation for the combat power of the Qing Flood Dragon.

Then, he summoned the Golden Fire Crow to test the combat power of the Qing Flood Dragon.

Boom!

The two Spirit Beasts instantly engaged in battle.

After several rounds, without using the Divine Ability.

The Qing Flood Dragon emerged victorious.

The speed of the Qing Flood Dragon was no less than that of the Golden Fire Crow, coupled with its strong defense from scales.

It also possessed bloodline suppression.

Without using its own flames, the Golden Fire Crow was completely no match for it.

After defeating the Golden Fire Crow, the confidence of the Qing Flood Dragon soared.

It let out a low hum in the air, as if eager to compete with the Fire Phoenix and regain its reputation.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling shook his head. The Fire Phoenix had long since reached Rank Four, and its bloodline level was only slightly inferior to that of the Qing Flood Dragon.

If the Qing Flood Dragon were to compete with the Fire Phoenix now, it would most likely lose.

Having a rough idea of the combat power of the Qing Flood Dragon, Chen Ling had a thought and summoned it back into the Beast Taming Bracelet.

For now, as long as the Qing Flood Dragon continued to grow, its combat power was already sufficient with the Golden Fire Crow and the Tri-Colored Jade Butterfly.

...

On this day, Chen Ling was having breakfast.

"Husband, I plan to accompany you to the Ancient Divine Continent!"

Li Yourong, dressed in a red dress, tall and graceful, with a voluptuous figure, sat beside Chen Ling and said with a smile.

Chen Ling nodded. Li Yourong was originally from the Ancient Divine Continent, so it was convenient for her to accompany him on this trip.

"Husband, I will also accompany you!"

High Jinyue, with a pair of long legs that were half a head taller than Li Yourong, also smiled and said.

Her figure was equally curvaceous and charming.

Chen Ling decisively shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This trip to the Ancient Divine Continent is just a competition, there won't be any danger."

"Xier and Rong'er accompanying me is enough!"

Chen Ling was afraid that others would also want to accompany him, so he firmly refused High Jinyue.

High Jinyue could only helplessly start eating her steamed bun.

He Yunxiu and Wang Yun, upon hearing Chen Ling's words, did not say anything more.

Just at this moment.

A battle boat, like a cloud of rosy clouds, landed in the Chen family's square.

A beautiful woman in a green dress, with an elegant temperament, slowly leaped down from the battle boat.

Wei Jing looked towards the Chen family's courtyard.

What a guy, surrounded by wives and concubines.

Wei Jing could feel the lively scene of Chen Ling and his wives and concubines eating in the Chen family's hall.

"Wei Fellow Daoist, please!"

Chen Ling quickly stepped out of the hall and welcomed Wei Jing.

Wei Jing then followed Chen Ling into the guest hall.

A serene girl in a blue dress brought in spirit tea and pastries, and warmly smiled at Wei Jing, "Greetings, Master!"

"Tong'er, no need for formalities!"

Wei Jing smiled and said.

"Chen Fellow Daoist, you are truly fortunate to have a house full of wives and concubines, and such intelligent and well-behaved children." Wei Jing couldn't help but admire and feel a hint of envy towards Chen Ling's harmonious family.

Chen Ling, a Rank One Independent Cultivator, not to mention his personal cultivation level. Just the strength of his wives and concubines alone is comparable to a Nascent Soul sect.

"Wei Fellow Daoist, please don't mock me. I don't have any great ambitions. I only wish for a household full of wives, concubines, and children!" Chen Ling said with a serious expression.

"And managing such a large family, taking care of their food, drink, and daily needs, is not as leisurely as you cultivators of sects. This kind of life is what I envy!" Chen Ling said with conviction.

After some pleasantries, Wei Jing mentioned the purpose of this visit.

"The Divine Power Alliance is in need of a high-level warship. I hope the Chen family can complete it as soon as possible." Wei Jing's attitude was friendly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

A few days ago, the two had already discussed the cooperation, but the specific details of the Rank Five warship still needed to be negotiated.

Although Chen Ling said that he could only refine a Rank Four Supreme Grade warship, Wei Jing still had confidence in him.

"Wei Fellow Daoist, rest assured. I have already prepared two sets of plans for the warships of the Divine Power Alliance." Chen Ling smiled.

With a movement of his hand, a jade box appeared.

Then he opened it.

Inside were two formation discs made of Purple Thunder Crystal and Thunder Element Stone, both rare Rank Four Supreme Grade materials.

"This Purple Thunder Crystal formation disc has already integrated a Rank Four Supreme Grade treasure prohibition called Nine Heavens Thunder Light. In addition, I plan to add Thunder Pattern Prohibition and Soaring Dragon Prohibition to enhance defense and speed, respectively."

"As for the plan for this Thunder Element Stone formation disc, I initially intend to focus on the Thunder Transformation Sword Prohibition, while the auxiliary prohibition is still being perfected." Chen Ling explained slowly.

"Both of these plans are excellent, Chen Fellow Daoist!" Wei Jing said with a delighted expression.

In recent years, warships have always been a weak point for the Divine Power Alliance in external wars.

And the Rank Five warships they have ordered from the Ancient Divine Continent not only require paying more than half of the deposit in advance, but also have a delivery date of over ten years.

Late Stage cultivators are also not responsible for maintenance.

Chen Ling had long promised her that as long as he could provide the refining materials, he could refine a Rank Four Supreme Grade warship within six months.

"This time, I have to trouble Fellow Daoist Chen to put in more effort!"

"Inside is the material I have prepared for refining the warship!"

Wei Jing handed a small storage ring to Chen Ling.

Rank Five materials are extremely rare in the Western Wilderness.

Even though the Divine Might Alliance is powerful, the sect's reserves are not abundant.

Now it is barely enough to refine one.

And with Chen Ling's formation plate already successfully refined, it means that half of the work is already done.

The refining of the Late Stage warship hull is actually much easier.

Chen Ling's display of strength is naturally to get on good terms with the Divine Might Alliance.

Everyone cooperates sincerely and takes what they need.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, is it possible to refine it within half a year?"

Wei Jing asked.

Chen Ling shook his head. Just dealing with the Rank Five materials alone would take him one or two months, and there are even more other materials. It would take at least several months for the workshop to refine them.

"I have some important matters to attend to these days and I am preparing to go to the Ancient Divine Continent. It may be after I come back that I can start the refining."

"If everything goes smoothly, it will still take until the end of the year to complete."

Wei Jing's eyebrows slightly furrowed. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, this time I also imprinted several Rank Five prohibitions from the sect, hoping that they will be of help to you!"

"Rank Five prohibitions!"

Chen Ling's eyes brightened, somewhat surprised. He glanced at Wei Jing and decisively said, "As long as I come back from the Ancient Divine Continent, I will speed up the refining and strive to deliver the warship to the Divine Might Alliance within half a year."

By then, as long as he works hard, he can refine it within the Time and Space Crystal Ring.

Wei Jing nodded in satisfaction and said with clear eyes, "As long as Fellow Daoist Chen can refine a Rank Five warship in the future, I hope you can use these prohibitions to refine one for our Divine Might Alliance."

These prohibitions can also be considered as a part of the sincerity in cooperating with Chen Ling.

Chen Ling nodded, took the jade slip, and scanned it with his divine sense, his face filled with joy.

With these several Rank Five prohibitions, as long as he adds some points, he can become a Rank Five Refiner.

After the matter was settled, Wei Jing asked Xing Tong about cultivation matters.
