The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 49: Entering the Door and Second-Level Guest Officials (Seeking to Follow and Collect)

The night was quiet, and the Chen family's small courtyard was decorated with lights and decorations.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered.

On the rattan bed, Li Yourong's pretty face was filled with a spring-like charm, her skin as clear and translucent as jade, emitting a seductive fragrance.

She closed her eyes, lost in thought.

After two consecutive dual cultivations and the removal of the toxins from two spiritual acupoints in her body, it wouldn't take more than ten days to completely eliminate the toxins.

However, Chen Ling's face slightly darkened, and he thought to himself, "I still need to quickly cultivate the 'Dragon Transformation Technique'!"

Today was the day of his joyous union with Li Yourong.

But after galloping twice on horseback, he surrendered without a fight on the third round, taking off his helmet and armor early.

This was a situation he had never encountered before.

Even when he was dual cultivating with He Yunxiu and the others, he was able to hold his ground against three opponents without any signs of defeat.

"It seems that this spiritual body is really strong!"

Thinking of this, Chen Ling gradually let go of his previous gloominess.

"Maybe it's because you were too focused on refining tools. Relax a bit next time, and it will be fine!"

"Not hiding it from my husband, with my physique, the more times I dual cultivate, the faster my cultivation level improves!"

Li Yourong's eyes revealed a charming look as she softly spoke, her tone filled with anticipation.

Chen Ling nodded, unable to say anything in response. This time, he had been careless and lost the battle!

He could only wait until he had enough incense value, add some Dragon Transformation Technique, and regain his reputation!

Then, he embraced Li Yourong and fell into a deep sleep.

Wanbao Tower.

Assessment room.

Six scattered cultivators sat side by side.

They all had different colored flames floating in their hands.

This was the first round of the second-level Refiner's Art assessment and the condensation of spiritual flames!

Standing in front of them were two senior cultivators with strong auras.

On the right was a thin figure with white hair and sharp eyes.

On the left was a slightly overweight middle-aged man.

The two of them were staring at the six scattered cultivators participating in the second-level Refiner's Art assessment.

"Cui Zhi, Luo Yue, your spiritual flames haven't reached six inches. You have failed the assessment!"

"The others will proceed to the second round. Rest for a moment before continuing the assessment."

Soon, the white-haired old man on the right announced indifferently.

"Ah, failed again!"

The middle-aged cultivator with a square face, who was seated on Chen Ling's right, said unwillingly.

Then, he stood up and bowed to the two assessing refiners, "Master Qiu, Master Huang, I will participate in the assessment again in two months!"

The two of them nodded without saying anything.

Chen Ling looked at the other three scattered cultivators who were still closing their eyes, recovering their spiritual energy.

Although he didn't consume much energy when condensing the spiritual flames just now, he also closed his eyes to rest, in order to avoid attracting attention from others.

"The second round of the assessment begins now."

"Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, if you can successfully refine a robe containing a ninth-level prohibition, you will pass the assessment."

"The materials you need have already been prepared. Remember, there are only two sets of materials. If the materials are exhausted, it will be considered a failure."

After a quarter of an hour, Master Qiu, the white-haired old man, scanned the remaining four scattered cultivators with his gaze and calmly announced.

Upon hearing that it would take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the three Refiner's Art cultivators' expressions changed slightly.

These Refiner's Art cultivators all took unconventional paths, and the Refining Fire Technique they cultivated was mostly of the Mortal Grade Middle Rank. Those who could reach the Mortal Grade High Rank were few and far between.

The reason Chen Ling was able to obtain the Azure Flame Technique was also at the cost of marrying into the family.

And the lower the grade of the technique, the more mana it consumed to condense the spiritual flames.

The other three, although all at the Late Qi Refining stage, still felt a great pressure!

"Begin!" Master Qiu said in a deep voice.

In his opinion, if one couldn't refine a top-grade magical tool within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then they didn't deserve to be called a second-tier refiner.

Chen Ling took a deep breath and glanced at the other three, who had already started condensing their spiritual flames and handling the materials.

This assessment did not provide earth fire, obviously using the refinement of spiritual flames as the assessment point.

Chen Ling's gaze swept over the materials placed on the desk in front.

Ironwood, golden silkworm silk, green crocodile scale...

After recent refining, with the help of the Qinglian Thunderfire, Chen Ling's success rate in refining top-grade robes had already exceeded ninety percent.

However, he didn't want to expose the Qinglian Thunderfire in front of everyone.

After all, everyone present was a refiner and naturally could see the extraordinary nature of the Qinglian Thunderfire.

For a high-level fire attribute spell, what it meant to a refiner, he knew better than anyone.

Chen Ling naturally tried his best to avoid making such a mistake that would put himself in unnecessary danger.

Taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, he began to condense the spiritual flames using the Qingyan Decision.

He handled the materials methodically.

First were the ironwood and green crocodile scale, the two main casting materials for the robe, mainly to test the power of the spiritual flames.

Under the roasting of the spiritual flames, the two quickly turned red and began to merge. Under Chen Ling's control of the flame, they soon took on the shape of a human body.

Next was the golden silkworm silk.

It looked like a piece of white gold leaf, with no trace of silk visible.

It needed to be burned by the spiritual flames and drawn out to become spiritual silk.

This assessment tested the meticulous control of the spiritual flames.

After successfully wrapping the golden silkworm silk around the previous robe embryo, Chen Ling let out a breath, sweat beads appearing on his forehead, his brows furrowed.

This wasn't just for show. With his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining, using the Qingyan Decision for a long time was also quite exhausting.

Then he began to carve the ninth-level defensive spell restriction, the Scale Light Restriction.

Time slowly passed, and half of the incense stick had already burned.

At this moment, with a "pu" sound, the robe embryo in the hands of the refiner next to Chen Ling directly burst.

"It failed!" The refiner shook his head helplessly.

At this point, there was no time to start over.

But he couldn't just give up like this, so he gritted his teeth and started again.

The incense stick was almost burned out.

Chen Ling let out a breath and calmly put away the spiritual flames in his hands.

In his hands was a green scale robe, shining brightly.

"Master Qiu, I was fortunate enough to succeed!"

He had a look of joy on his face as he held the robe in his hands and respectfully handed it to the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man and the middle-aged man glanced at Chen Ling, then scanned the robe with their divine senses.

"Not bad! You have passed the second-tier refiner assessment. This is the proof jade card. Go to the hall, Li Jian will handle the rest of the procedures for you."

Master Qiu handed Chen Ling a small square jade card and smiled.

"Thank you, Master!" Chen Ling took the jade card and thanked him with a fist.

Then he left the assessment room.

He arrived at the hall.

Chen Ling handed the jade card to Li Jian.

"Congratulations, Chen Dao friend, on becoming a second-tier refiner!"

Li Jian congratulated him with a fist, but he was quite surprised in his heart.

In less than half a year, this person had gone from a first-tier middle-grade refiner to a second-tier.

This potential was quite impressive!

Then he smiled and said, "Chen Dao friend, please wait in the VIP room. I will immediately prepare your identity card as a second-level guest."

Chen Ling nodded and, led by a female attendant, went to the second-floor private room.
