The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 41: Li Yourong's Heart Moves (Seeking to Continue Reading and Collect)

Early morning.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival season, there was already a hint of coolness in the gentle morning breeze.

But in the Chen family's small courtyard.

The air crackled.

A lotus-like flame burst out fiercely, rapidly striking a rock at the corner of the wall.

With a loud crack, the flame struck and the rock directly exploded.

"Hiss, what a domineering Qinglian Thunderfire!"

Chen Ling secretly praised.

Originally, the Spirit Flame Finger was a secret technique associated with the Green Flame Art.

Due to the limitations of the Green Flame Art's cultivation level, it could only exert the power of a high-grade ordinary-level technique at most.

But after incorporating the Qinglian Thunderfire, it underwent earth-shaking changes. Not only did its power increase exponentially, but there was also a faint sense of spiritual pressure emanating from it, making one's spiritual sense feel oppressed.

"The Spirit Flame Finger fused with the Qinglian Thunderfire, conservatively estimated, should have no problem dealing with a Qi Refining seventh-layer cultivator."

"But there is a fatal problem. Although the power of the Spirit Flame Finger has increased, it also consumes a tremendous amount of energy."

At this moment, he had consecutively used the Spirit Flame Finger twice.

Chen Ling felt aches and soreness all over his body, and there was very little spiritual energy left in his meridians and acupoints.

"Why has the consumption become so great?" Chen Ling muttered to himself.

Immediately, he took out a pill bottle from his storage bag and poured out a second-grade Combined Qi Pill, swallowing it.

He sat cross-legged on the spot, refining and absorbing the medicinal power.

Originally, with his cultivation at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, he had no problem using the original Spirit Flame Finger.

But after fusing with the Qinglian Thunderfire, the intensity was completely different.

Each use of spiritual power consumed several times more than before.

With his current cultivation, he could only use it twice.

"I wonder how it would be if my proficiency increased?"

Although the consumption was not small, he was very satisfied with the power now.

"Husband, it's time to eat!"

Soon, Chu Yu, wearing an apron, walked out of the hall with a smile on her face, calling out.

Chen Ling picked up a towel, wiped off the sweat, and got up to walk towards the hall, smiling and saying, "Be more careful!"

Chu Yu nodded, her gentle gaze filled with happiness and tranquility.

"Yunxiu, after eating, you and Yuer go out and see if there's anything we need to buy!"

After eating three meat buns and a bowl of porridge, Chen Ling said to He Yunxiu.

If they weren't going to the Qin family today, he would go with them.

While feeding Xiaoping'an with spiritual porridge, He Yunxiu nodded.

Chen Ling's gaze swept towards Li Yourong's room again.

Strange, why didn't she come out for breakfast today? Did the difficulty of the toxin relapse?

"Husband, rest assured, I saved a portion for Li Fellow Daoist!" He Yunxiu said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Chen Ling thought for a moment, then got up and walked towards Li Yourong's room.

Last night, he had put in a lot of effort and finally successfully refined the Thunderwood Sword.

"Li Fellow Daoist, it's time to eat!"

Chen Ling lightly knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Li Yourong's voice came from inside the room, sounding somewhat lazy.

Chen Ling gently pushed open the door and walked in.

Li Yourong had just sat up from the rattan bed, tidying her beautiful hair. Her eyes were still sleepy, as if she had just woken up.

With her lazy posture and mature charm, she had a unique flavor.

Looking at her appearance, it seemed like she had gone out last night?

But Chen Ling didn't ask too much, after all, Li Yourong was not his wife yet.

"Li Daoyou, this is a top-quality magic sword specially tailored for you, the Thunderwood Sword."

Chen Ling took out the Thunderwood Sword from his storage bag and handed it to Li Yourong.

The sword body of the Thunderwood Sword, which incorporated the explosive flame magic prohibition, had a prominent flame spirit pattern.

"A top-quality magic sword? It's too valuable!" Li Yourong's gaze swept over the sword, looking at Chen Ling in astonishment.

"Wait, you can refine top-quality magic swords now?" Li Yourong seemed to have thought of something and said in shock.

Chen Ling nodded and smiled, "You don't have a suitable magic weapon now, so don't be polite with me!"

Li Yourong thought for a moment, but didn't refuse any further. He stood up, took the sword, and tried to infuse it with spiritual energy.

Suddenly, threads of lightning surrounded the Thunderwood Sword, emitting a sizzling sound.

"Great! With this Thunderwood Sword, I can avenge myself sooner!"

A hint of joy flashed in Li Yourong's eyes.

His gaze swept over Chen Ling again, feeling a warmth in his heart. He jokingly said, "Chen Daoyou, you really hide your true abilities! You have been making progress in your crafting skills while enjoying music and dance every night!"

"Qi Refining Sixth Layer!"

Li Yourong was stunned again, looking at Chen Ling with increasing astonishment. "Am I not mistaken?"

Chen Ling coughed twice and smiled, saying, "It's just a stroke of luck!"

"A stroke of luck!"

Li Yourong smiled, his mouth curling up. "Since you are so sincere, I will repay you after I have avenged myself!"

Li Yourong didn't finish his words, he just happily put away the Thunderwood Sword and walked out of the room.

"Ye Lian, let's go to the Qin family now!"

After leaving the room, Chen Ling said to Qin Yelian.

Qin Yelian had already packed up and was waiting for Chen Ling.

The two of them immediately left the courtyard.

...

In a short while, they left the southern gate of the market.

The Qin family was located between the market and the branch sect of the Qingyang Sect.

This area was designated by the Qingyang Sect as a specific area for the affiliated Foundation Building families of the sect.

Here, both the concentration of spiritual energy and the level of safety were much higher than in the market.

The Qin family was located to the north of this area, a few miles away from the market.

Chen Ling and his wife hurriedly headed towards the Qin Mansion.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, but they occasionally saw disciples wearing Qingyang Sect attire patrolling by.

"This time, if the head of the Qin family agrees to my conditions, it would be best. If not, there is no room for negotiation. I will have to find a way to get rid of my position as a guest of the Duobao Pavilion." Chen Ling secretly calculated in his heart.

Now that Chu Yu was pregnant, he would not let his family go to the Wang family's market.

Originally, this matter could be negotiated through the intermediary of the shopkeeper Shen, and no matter what the situation was, there would be room for both parties.

But the head of the Qin family invited him in person, and he had no way to refuse.

After all, his current strength was far from being able to refuse an invitation from a Foundation Building cultivator!

The two of them quickened their pace. Before long, they arrived at the gathering place of the Qin family's members. The entire area was inhabited by the Qin family. Compared to the market, it was more orderly and clean.

"Husband, this way!"

Qin Yelian quickly led Chen Ling to a gorgeously decorated mansion.

Several cultivators were coming in and out of the main gate.

"Xiao Wu, go and inform the family head that Yelian and Chen, the guest cultivator, have come to visit!"

Qin Yelian said to a young man at the gate who was at the Qi Refining Second Layer.

"So it's Sister Lian. Please follow me into the mansion!"

The young man widened his eyes and curiously glanced at Chen Ling before leading the two of them into the mansion.

As soon as they entered the mansion, Chen Ling felt invigorated.

The spiritual energy here was not only much denser than in the market, but also carried a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

Thinking that Chu Yu used to work as a spirit plant cultivator in the Qin family, he understood that this fragrance was probably due to the cultivation of spirit plants by the Qin family.

The courtyard inside was deep and vast, as if it was enveloped by some kind of barrier.

Obviously, there were formations set up here.
