The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 302: The Spirit City Plan and the Crisis of the Seven-Colored Tribe

In the autumn of Yudie City, the sky was a clear blue, and the Yudie Mountain was covered in a golden hue. The layers of yellow leaves were exceptionally translucent, shining like gold under the sunlight.

Unknowingly, it had been two months since returning to Yudie City.

Inside the cultivation room.

Chen Ling operated the War Dragon Body Refining technique, completely absorbing the liquid in the wooden barrel.

During this period, he continuously integrated the medicine made from the blood of the Green Flood Dragon.

His Body Refining technique had also significantly improved.

Chen Ling felt that there seemed to be a powerful bloodline force condensing within his body.

Although he was still at the mid-stage of Rank Four, the strength of his body was already enough to withstand the attacks of cultivators at the late stage of Nascent Soul.

Since reaching Rank Four of the Green Flood Dragon, his cultivation speed in Body Refining had increased significantly, almost twice as fast as normal cultivation.

Similarly, the Green Flood Dragon's cultivation speed had also steadily improved.

This was the cultivation effect of a Spirit Beast nourishing its own kind.

Only Demonic Beasts with Heavenly Rank bloodlines like the Green Flood Dragon possessed this ability.

Generally speaking, Demonic Beasts with Heavenly Rank bloodlines rarely become Spirit Beasts of the human race.

Chen Ling and Hu Wan'er were just lucky coincidences.

Both of them established a life-long contract with their Spirit Beasts during their infancy, which allowed them to successfully contract them.

If a Demonic Beast with a Heavenly Rank bloodline awakens its intelligence, it would never become a human cultivator's spiritual pet.

Now that the Green Flood Dragon had reached the mid-stage of Rank Four, the effect was even more apparent.

Chen Ling felt that it wouldn't be long before the Green Flood Dragon could enter the late stage of Rank Four.

In addition, during this period, with the improvement of his Body Refining technique and the Yin-Yang Laws, the effect of dual cultivation with his wives had also multiplied.

Not only did his cultivation progress rapidly, but his wives also benefited greatly.

Among them, Qingtang and Gao Jinyue, both possessed special bloodlines.

Not only did their cultivation progress rapidly, but their bloodlines also improved significantly.

Therefore, Chen Ling had spent a lot of time with the two of them during this period.

Indeed, heaven does not disappoint those who work hard. Both of them have become pregnant one after another.

Furthermore, during this period, he has also accumulated nearly eight thousand points of incense value.

With these incense values, he has enhanced his spiritual roots and improved his cultivation.

Spiritual Roots: Supreme Grade Spirit Root of the Four Elements (Metal, Wood, Fire, Earth, 60/100)(+)

Realm: Gold Core Sixth Stage (72/100)

"According to this progress, it should be possible to reach the Gold Core Late Stage within the year," Chen Ling muttered as he left the medicine barrel.

At present, in alchemy, with the help of the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame, there is no problem even with a lower cultivation level.

However, in artifact refining, due to insufficient cultivation, the success rate of condensing Dao imprints is still too low.

Therefore, it is necessary to improve cultivation as soon as possible.

Strive to successfully refine a Rank Five warship as soon as possible.

With Zhou Hongshang marrying into the Chen family, he also learned some information that only Soul Formation cultivators in the ancient Divine Land could access.

To be precise, the three major Soul Formation sects in Guiyun City had long been informed and secretly prepared for the invasion of the Sea Clan.

This situation is also unavoidable.

It happens every few hundred years.

The war between the Human Clan and the Sea Clan is a battle for the origin of this world.

The Soul Formation families are not afraid, and some even see it as a rare opportunity.

In order to cope with the war, these families have secretly recruited soldiers and horses.

Especially for high-level skilled practitioners such as formation masters, talisman masters, and artifact refiners, they will be generously rewarded.

Chen Ling also understood why Patriarch Zhou was so eager for him to refine a Rank Five warship.

According to this situation, warships will be in high demand in the future.

"And the Yunmeng Marsh, this newly developed area, can also provide abundant resources!"

"As for materials, there is no need to worry too much."

"After all, the warships to be refined are mainly Rank Three and Rank Four!"

"It's just that this person's hands are a bit tied!"

Chen Ling poured a cup of Ling tea and drank it slowly while contemplating.

Now the Chen family occupies an area of over 15,000 miles, including a vast area of the Yunmeng Marsh.

Many of these places contain abundant mineral resources.

However, so far, no Rank Five minerals or spiritual veins have been discovered.

Therefore, the difficulty of refining a Rank Five warship is still very high.

Unless there are enough materials provided by the Shenwei Alliance and the Zhou family, it's basically impossible.

But in Chen Ling's plan, he intends to use the incomplete Rank Five warship prohibition obtained from the White Cloud Tower auction, the Prohibition of the Spirit City.

Simply referred to as the "Spirit City Plan".

The goal is to be able to refine the Spirit City warship within four years.

By then, even if the Sea Clan invades in large numbers, the Human Clan will not be able to resist.

He will be able to safely evacuate with his clan.

However, to refine this Spirit City warship, a large amount of Rank Five materials is needed.

Even though he has already refined two Rank Five warships and has some Rank Five materials on hand, it is still far from enough.

But fortunately, there is still time, and he can search through the family's mining fields.

In addition, he can also collect materials through the Wanbao Tower.

With the current strength of the family, coupled with the Wanbao Tower and his status as a guest of the Qi Alliance, it is now easier to collect Rank Five refining materials than before.

However, the Prohibition of the Spirit City is formed by merging five different attributes of Rank Five prohibitions: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

It requires five different attributes of Rank Five materials, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the search.

And even more difficult than collecting materials is the refining of the prohibition.

Although it is a Rank Five High Grade prohibition, the difficulty of its refining far exceeds the scope of Rank Five prohibitions.

After all, it is difficult for a refiner to simultaneously master the five attributes of mana.

Under normal circumstances, it can only be completed by several Rank Five refiners with different attributes.

But even the current Qi Alliance cannot produce five Rank Five refiners.

Fortunately, Chen Ling possesses the Five Absolute Thunder and Flame, and can convert them into other attribute spiritual powers using the Thunder and Flame.

He has the possibility of simultaneously refining these five spiritual prohibitions.

The "Spirit City Plan" requires over a thousand kilograms of Rank Five or higher-grade ore.

It should be noted that a normal piece of Rank Five ore is only about ten to fifty kilograms.

A piece of Rank Five ore is worth at least several hundred thousand, not to mention the other materials needed for such a warship.

Just the Rank Five materials alone is a huge investment.

To collect dozens of pieces of Rank Five ore at once, one can only hope to discover a Rank Five mineral vein.

In the Immortal Cultivation World of the Ancient Divine Land, there are also several Rank Five mineral veins.

However, they are all controlled by the three major Soul Formation sects in Guiyun City.

They do not sell them to the outside world unless they are exchanged for equivalent items they need.

Such as high-grade elixirs, spirit medicines, treasure weapons, and techniques.

"It is said that these three sects not only have Rank Five ore, but even Rank Six ore."

"Perhaps I can ask Senior Huang for help."

Chen Ling thought about whether he should have more contact with Huang Yi in the future.

Although they have only met a few times, Huang Yi is still relatively reliable.

He is also kind-hearted, and his words are like a warm breeze.

Dealing with these three Soul Formation sects will definitely require the help of the Qi Alliance.

Going alone is too insignificant!

"As for the family being able to discover Rank Five mineral veins, I was thinking too much!"

Chen Ling shook his head, reminding himself to be more realistic.

He took a deep breath and temporarily put aside his thoughts.

This kind of thing can't be rushed.

Another aspect is the spiritual veins.

The spiritual veins in Yudie City are currently Rank Four Middle Grade.

And there are currently only Zhou Hongshang and Wei Wenwu, Nascent Soul cultivators, which is enough to consume.

But the spiritual veins have already merged into two spiritual veins.

According to Yue Zhang's words, in the future, at most, only one more spiritual vein can be integrated.

Reaching Rank Four Supreme Grade is already the limit.

However, a Rank Four Middle Grade spiritual vein is enough to supply five or six Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivate at the same time.

So, there is no need to rush to upgrade this spiritual vein for now.

"First improve cultivation, and quickly refine the Rank Five warships of the Divine Might Alliance and the Zhou family," Chen Ling muttered.

"With enough experience, the success rate of refining this spiritual city prohibition will also be higher."

As long as he reaches Gold Core Late Stage and combines it with the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame and the Thunder Origin, the success rate will increase significantly.

After all, with the richness of Chen Ling's spiritual power, although he is at Gold Core Sixth Stage, his actual strength is not inferior to Gold Core Consummation.

······.

Ten days later.

Chen Ling successfully refined the Rank Five Low Grade formation plate by integrating the Rank Five Thunder Wood, Ink Thunder Crystal, and Blue Gold Stone.

After several attempts, he finally succeeded in refining the Rank Five Thunder Sword Qi and Thunder Light in the formation plate.

Although he relied on the Thunder Origin and the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame in his body.

But Chen Ling's cultivation at Gold Core Sixth Stage still made it difficult to refine Rank Five prohibitions.

The success rate was less than half.

The consumption was not small.

This also made him quite distressed, as he wasted six pieces of Rank Five ore, which cost millions of spirit stones.

Fortunately, Wei Jing provided three sets of materials this time.

In the end, he successfully refined the Rank Five formation plate.

As for the refining of the warship hull, he handed it over to the workshop.

Chen Ling did not hide his improvement in refining skills. He imprinted the experience of a Rank Four Refiner in the jade slips with his divine sense.

He gave them to Han Jing, Zhou Zhen, and Bai Wei.

In these years, their refining skills have also improved rapidly.

Han Jing and Zhou Zhen have already become Rank Four Refiners, while Bai Wei has become a Rank Three Middle Grade Refiner.

This is something they never expected. The Chen family and Chen Ling have undergone such tremendous changes in such a short period of time.

Not only did their cultivation improve rapidly, but their refining skills were also astonishing.

In just over ten years, Chen Ling went from being a Rank Two Refiner to a Rank Four Supreme Grade Refiner.

Zhou Zhen and Han Jing's allegiance to the Chen family was somewhat forced and reluctant.

But now it has been proven that this choice was correct.

If the Metallurgical Alliance had not been destroyed, even now, Zhou Zhen estimated that he would not have reached Rank Three Refiner.

So in their hearts, their loyalty to Chen Ling has long exceeded 95%.

······.

On this day.

Chen Ling had just finished lunch and brewed a cup of spiritual tea. He was sitting on the veranda, leisurely drinking.

With the improvement of his cultivation and strength, his mentality is no longer as impatient as before.

Coupled with having multiple wives and children and a long lifespan, his worries have been reduced by more than half.

It's time to enjoy this quiet and beautiful day!

While sipping the spiritual tea, he let his thoughts wander.

This leisurely and carefree life, where he can rest with his wives at night, is the life that cultivators like us should live.

After cultivating diligently, it's time to enjoy a full meal!

At this moment, a woman dressed in a colorful peacock embroidered long dress, tall and with perfect curves, walked in.

Her dress was tailored to reveal her straight and slender, fair and smooth, alluring legs, exuding a wild temptation.

The person who came was Gao Jinyue.

With the improvement of her bloodline, her aura became more sacred and profound.

It must be said that Gao Jinyue's tall figure, especially her slender legs, even among Chen Ling's twenty wives, she stands out.

Her proportions are perfect, not a bit too fat or too thin, just long and round.

"Husband, something has happened in the tribe!"

As soon as she saw Chen Ling, Gao Jinyue exclaimed urgently.

Although Gao Jinyue appeared calm on the surface, she was actually an impatient person.

Now that she was pregnant, Chen Ling didn't want her to worry about anything. He smiled and asked, "What happened? Take your time, tell me slowly."

Gao Jinyue sat down beside him, her eyebrows furrowed, and her expression serious as she said, "There's news from the tribe. The Silver Wolf Tribe and the Thunder Dragon Tribe have joined forces to attack our tribe. Many of our people have been injured or killed."

"And the cause of this incident is that our tribe unexpectedly discovered a vein of ore."

"Our people didn't pay much attention to the vein at first, but because we have been exchanging resources with the Chen family."

"Last month, we dug some ore and added it to the Spirit Medicine, which was sent over together."

"After being confirmed by Zhou Tang, it was found to be a Rank Four Golden Flame Crystal vein, and there is even a possibility of Rank Five Golden Flame Crystal."

"I don't know how the news leaked, but the Silver Wolf Tribe and the Thunder Dragon Tribe attacked this vein, killing more than twenty of our people and launching an attack on our tribe."

"The tribe was caught off guard and suffered significant casualties."

"Even the sacred beast is seriously injured."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling immediately sat up straight, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and his tone became icy, "The Silver Wolf Tribe and the Thunder Dragon Tribe are seeking death by joining forces!"

"The disciples of the Battle Hall haven't had any activity for a while, it's time for them to train."

The Rainbow Tribe has always been the main source of Spirit Medicine for the Chen family.

The Chen family now has an abundant supply of Spirit Medicine.

On one hand, it is due to the Fang family's cultivation foundation, and on the other hand, it is the Rainbow Tribe, which sends batches of Spirit Medicine and Spirit Beasts every two to three months.

They can be considered the most important in-laws of the Chen family, second only to the Wang family and the Zhao family.

Not to mention that this time it involves a vein containing Rank Five ore.

He immediately got up and transmitted a message to Li Yourong, asking her to gather the disciples of the Battle Hall.

"Husband, we need to be careful about this matter."

"Since our tribe obtained an ample supply of Treasure Weapons, the Silver Wolf Tribe and the Thunder Dragon Tribe have not dared to provoke us easily."

"But this sudden joint attack indicates that they must have come prepared!"

"According to the information passed down by my grandfather, it seems that they have all joined the Red Sun Tribe."

"The Red Sun Tribe is a Rank Five tribe, with a Rank Five Barbarian Cultivator, a Rank Five Sacred Beast, and several Rank Four Barbarian Cultivators."

"Their strength is not inferior to an ordinary Soul Formation sect."

"Now, there are three Rank Five tribes and one Rank Six tribe in the entire Barbarian Wilderness."

"The Red Sun Tribe is not far from our tribe's area."

"They also have five Rank Four tribes and many other small tribes under their command."

Although Gao Jinyue was anxious, she remained calm and explained the pros and cons to Chen Ling in detail.

"A Rank Five Barbarian Cultivator!" Chen Ling frowned slightly upon hearing this.

The Silver Wolf Tribe and the Thunder Dragon Tribe are Rank Four tribes, and they have a Rank Five Thunder Flood Dragon puppet. Dealing with them shouldn't be a big problem.

However, if there is the Rank Five Red Sun Tribe behind them, they need to be extremely cautious and carefully consider their options.

Regardless, they must save the Rainbow Tribe.

Even if they can't defeat the Red Sun Tribe, they can wipe out the Silver Wolf Tribe and the Thunder Dragon Tribe, and then relocate the people of the Rainbow Tribe to Yudie City.

After a moment of contemplation, he sent a message to Zhao Chanzhen.

He asked her to contact Zhao Laozu.

Zhao Laozu had recently successfully broken through to the Soul Formation Realm and become a Soul Formation cultivator.

To be prepared for any situation, he needed Zhao Laozu's assistance to guard against the Red Sun Tribe.

"Let's go, gather the tribe members and discuss our strategy." Chen Ling got up and walked towards the door.

Among his wives, Zhao Chanzhen and Zhou Hongshang both came from Soul Formation families.

They were both skilled at managing family affairs.

Chen Ling had already witnessed Zhao Chanzhen's strength, so he needed to consult her opinion on dealing with the barbarian tribes.

As for Zhou Hongshang, in addition to managing the entire palace courtyard in the dream realm, she also participated in many expansion battles.

She could be called the Zhuge Liang among women.

And then there was Gong Mulan, the Saintess of the largest tribe in the Barbarian Wilderness.

Although she was currently pregnant, her understanding of various tribes would allow her to know the enemy well.

Gao Jinyue hurriedly followed along.
