The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 42: The Qin Family's Dilemma and the Spirit Restriction Law Decision (Seeking Continued Reading and Collection)

Along the corridor, they entered a hall.

Inside the hall, there were neatly arranged antique tables, chairs, and furniture.

In the corner stood a bronze beast lamp for lighting.

After leading the two into the hall, the young boy named Xiao Wu quickly stepped back.

Before long, a middle-aged man dressed in a refined manner and with an elegant demeanor walked into the hall.

Upon seeing the other party, Qin Yelian quickly stood up and respectfully saluted with clasped fists, "Greetings, Family Master!"

Chen Ling also stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Qin!"

The person who came was none other than Qin Ping, the head of the Qin family.

He waved his hand and smiled, "So it's Chen Keqing who has come. I didn't personally welcome you, please don't take it to heart."

Chen Ling greeted respectfully as a junior and exchanged some pleasantries. The three of them then took their seats as host and guests.

"Chen Keqing, I didn't expect you to be such a young first-grade master blacksmith. Your future is limitless!" Qin Ping had someone bring in spirit tea and spoke in a friendly tone.

In his words, Chen Ling felt that there was no trace of the arrogance of a Foundation Building cultivator or the demeanor of a family head.

According to Qin Yelian's introduction, Qin Ping was a genius who broke through to Foundation Building at the age of forty-five and was also a first-grade master blacksmith.

However, Chen Ling didn't know what happened later that caused his cultivation to stagnate at the early stage of Foundation Building.

"Senior overpraises me. I dare not show any incompetence in front of you with my meager skills!" Chen Ling quickly replied.

"Although I haven't been to the Duobao Pavilion, I often hear Shen Gongzhang mention you, Chen Keqing. You are truly a rare talent in the field of blacksmithing."

"Therefore, this time, when my Qin family moves to Wangjia Fangshi, I would like to invite Chen Keqing to join us."

Qin Ping smiled and spoke, showing that he valued Chen Ling.

Chen Ling thought for a moment and cautiously said, "I won't hide it from you, Senior! My wife is currently pregnant and about to give birth. It is not suitable for her to travel long distances, especially to a place like Wangjia Fangshi, which is too close to the Yunmeng Swamp!"

Seeing that Chen Ling's expression was calm and not even perfunctory, Qin Ping directly refused, feeling somewhat displeased and his face slightly darkened.

After pondering for a while, his tone became solemn as he said, "Chen Keqing, you are my Qin family's son-in-law and also a guest of the Duobao Pavilion. You can be considered a member of our Qin family."

"I won't hide it from you either. Wangjia will not easily give up the Jinshan Fangshi. Staying in the Fangshi will only be more dangerous."

"The Qingyang Sect, with various factions and powers, cannot be convinced without astonishing cultivation."

"When it comes to the competition for large resources such as the Fangshi and mineral veins, it will be a bloody battle. It is normal for several sects and families to fall."

Qin Ping patiently explained to Chen Ling the possible crises that may arise in Jinshan Fangshi.

It was not as peaceful as he had imagined!

"Senior, please don't take offense!" Chen Ling quickly lowered his posture and saluted with clasped fists.

Seeing that Chen Ling had made up his mind, Qin Ping pondered for a moment and then quickly regained his smile, saying lightly, "Alright! Since you are unwilling to go to Wangjia Fangshi, I won't force you. But as you said, you will still be a guest of the Duobao Pavilion. I will have someone come to collect the artifacts you refine every month."

Chen Ling quickly expressed his gratitude.

Qin Yelian, who had been sweating for Chen Ling, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Qin family, there were not many who dared to disobey Qin Ping's words.

And Chen Ling actually directly refused his goodwill, which made her somewhat frightened.

Setting aside the identity of the family head, he was still a Foundation Building cultivator.

How could they, low-level wandering cultivators, offend the dignity of a high-level cultivator?

Qin Ping waved his hand, glanced meaningfully at Qin Yelian, and smiled, "You are not outsiders, there is no need to be so polite."

"Furthermore, if you can pass the second-grade blacksmith assessment of the Blacksmith Association and become a second-grade blacksmith, I will entrust the Qin family's spiritual medicine garden to you!"

After carefully observing Chen Ling, Qin Ping changed his original idea of forcibly taking Chen Ling to Wangjia Fangshi, even resorting to using force if necessary.

Now it seemed that Chen Ling's cultivation was not as weak as he had imagined. He was at the sixth level of Qi Refining and still a first-grade master blacksmith.

In his thirties!

His spiritual root aptitude was a bit lacking.

But as long as the resources were sufficient, he had a chance to successfully reach Foundation Building before the age of sixty.

Overall, there is still a lot of potential!

There is no need to have a falling out with him!

Moreover, with this move, some resources cannot be taken away, like the Spirit Medicine Garden and the Spirit Land.

If Chen Ling can become a second-tier Refiner, he may become a Level Two Guest of the Wanbao Tower.

With this status, the other Foundation Building families of the Qingyang Sect would not dare to provoke him rashly.

In this way, the Qin family's Spirit Medicine Garden also has a chance to be preserved.

This Spirit Medicine Garden is the source of the medicinal pills needed for cultivation by the Qin family. Its importance is self-evident, and they must find a way to preserve it.

And if Chen Ling can become a second-tier Refiner, then this is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Chen Ling's expression couldn't help but freeze when he heard this. Originally, he was already terrified and cautious, but Qin Ping not only didn't make things difficult for him, but also wanted to give him a Spirit Medicine Garden?

Did he hear it wrong?

No, at a time when even the Qin family couldn't keep their Spirit Medicine Garden.

Why would he be able to keep it?

Would the status of being a Level Two Guest of the Wanbao Tower have such a big impact?

Forget it, it's better not to get involved in this matter!

Safety comes first!

As long as he gets married and has children, he can gain some improvement.

There is no need to take such a fearless risk!

Can he really get involved in this kind of struggle between prestigious families?

He wouldn't even know how he died!

But just as he was suspicious.

"As long as you help my Qin family preserve the Spirit Medicine Garden, I will give you this 'Basic Spirit Restriction Technique'. If you can refine it, it will also be a great thing for the Qin family and the Wanbao Tower!"

After speaking, Qin Ping waved his sleeve, and a jade slip flew out and floated in front of Chen Ling.

"This?"

Chen Ling widened his eyes, looking surprised. There are benefits like this too?

He hesitated for a moment, but finally put away the jade slip, expressing his gratitude to Qin Ping with a grateful salute, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior!"

As a Refiner, he naturally understood the value of Spirit Restrictions.

Talismans are treasures used by Qi Refining cultivators.

Spirit Tools, on the other hand, are treasures used by Foundation Building cultivators. Unlike talismans, the refinement of Spirit Tools requires the use of Spirit Restrictions, which also range from first to ninth level.

The Basic Spirit Restriction Technique is extremely rare in circulation.

Even the Wanbao Tower might not have it, and even if they did, he would have to pay a huge price.

But he didn't expect Qin Ping to directly give him the 'Basic Spirit Restriction Technique'.

Of course, the condition is to help the Qin family preserve the Spirit Medicine Garden.

Originally, with his cautious personality, he would never take such a potential risk.

But the 'Basic Spirit Restriction Technique' is a huge temptation for him.

After careful consideration, he finally chose to accept it.

After all, the 'Basic Spirit Restriction Technique' is right in front of him, so he might as well take it first.

As for the risks that may follow, he can only take it step by step. If he can't preserve the Spirit Medicine Garden in the end, then he has no choice!

After this consideration, he silently accepted it!

But he said, "Senior, this is too precious!"

Qin Ping waved his hand and said, "As long as you can refine Spirit Tools, my Wanbao Tower will also benefit!"

Chen Ling is now the only Level Two Guest of the Wanbao Tower, so he naturally needs more support.

Chen Ling suddenly felt that this Qin family's patriarch had a good demeanor, showing respect to the worthy, and had great vision.

Chen Ling quickly expressed his gratitude again.
