The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 61: The Opportunistic Luo Family (Seeking to Continue Reading)

In the early morning, the rain outside had stopped, and the fresh air was filled with the fragrance of soil.

After the rain, the weather became colder and colder.

The hot breath exhaled from the mouth had turned into mist.

Although Chen Ling had been busy all night, he was still full of energy.

After finishing breakfast, he bid farewell to He Yunxiu and left the small courtyard.

The cold wind outside was piercing.

But Chen Ling's robe had a four-season formation, keeping his body at a constant temperature, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Walking along the stone path on the street, Chen Ling arrived at the entrance of the Qin family's mansion.

The ancient and elegant mansion was surrounded by a faint cold mist, resembling a landscape ink painting, with a unique artistic conception.

The Qin family disciple responsible for patrolling at the entrance also recognized Chen Ling and let him in directly.

Just as he walked past the corridor, a female cultivator wearing a moon-white robe came towards him.

"Greetings, Fifth Miss!"

Chen Ling immediately recognized her. The stunningly beautiful girl in front of him, naturally beautiful without any makeup, was Qin Wumei, who had a connection with him.

Qin Wumei also noticed Chen Ling, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing on her face, but it quickly disappeared. She said slowly, "Nephew Ling, you came to the Qin family early in the morning. What's the matter?"

"I handed several refined magical artifacts to Uncle Shen," Chen Ling said cautiously.

From Qin Wumei's tone, he felt that she seemed to have some opinions about him.

Did he offend her somehow?

Chen Ling couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"With your skill in artifact refinement and being a second-level artifact refiner, shouldn't you be thinking about how to break through and improve your cultivation? Instead, you are wasting a lot of energy on dual cultivation between men and women. Be careful not to gain more than you lose!" Qin Wumei furrowed her brows again, her dissatisfaction evident in her eyes. She spoke with an air of authority and concern.

"Fifth Miss, you are right!" Chen Ling hurriedly nodded, his old face turning slightly red, appearing respectful and receptive to her teachings.

It seemed that she misunderstood him for letting Qin Yelian buy the supplementing pill from her.

This kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly to a little girl.

Moreover, he was still planning to obtain the formula for the supplementing pill from her, so he definitely couldn't offend her.

"Follow me. Today, the Qin family happens to have important matters to discuss. You are not an outsider, so let's brainstorm together!" Seeing Chen Ling's proactive attitude in admitting his mistake, although Qin Wumei was still angry, she couldn't say anything more.

Chen Ling respectfully followed her into the main hall.

Qin Wumei was currently the only Foundation Building cultivator in the Qin family. Although she was not responsible for the family affairs, her cultivation level and seniority were there.

In the hall, there were four crystal lamps placed in the four corners, illuminating the slightly dim hall brightly.

In the middle of the hall, along the central aisle, there were several ancient and elegant wooden chairs placed on both sides.

The decorations were magnificent and elegant.

At this moment, two people were sitting on the two chairs at the back.

It was Shen Zhen and Qin Tong, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Shen Zhen was rubbing his hands, looking somewhat anxious.

When they saw Qin Wumei and Chen Ling enter, both of them stood up and bowed to them.

"Chen Ling, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you!" Shen Zhen said with a serious expression.

Chen Ling hurriedly replied, "Uncle Shen, please go ahead!"

In his heart, there was a slight tension. Shen Zhen always had a professional smile on his face, unless something big happened, he would be so serious.

But what ability did he have to solve such a big problem?

After the clan members brought the spirit tea, Shen Zhen's voice became low and said, "It's the Luo family's matter!"

"I originally thought that after the war ended, they would leave soon. Who would have thought that not only did they not leave, but more and more of their clan members came."

"Not only that, the Luo family members are becoming more and more excessive. They not only use our earth fire, but also start constructing formations to forcibly intercept our earth fire."

"I went to negotiate with them, and they kept saying that this was the Wang family's intention, and that our Qin family must cooperate unconditionally!"

Even though Shen Zhen had a keen mind, he became more and more excited as he spoke.

Qin Wu Mei and Qin Tong had long been furious, their faces were pale with anger.

Chen Ling was shocked to hear this. The Luo family had a mid-level Foundation Building cultivator in their family, not to mention the involvement of the Weapon Refining Alliance. What could a mere Qi Refining seventh level cultivator like herself do?

Seeing that Shen Zhen didn't ask for her opinion, but instead consulted Chen Ling first, Qin Wu Mei couldn't help but feel annoyed. With an angry expression, she said, "Our Qin family kindly provided them with a place to stay."

"But they are so shameless in snatching our earth fire. At this rate, in a few months, they will control the earth fire. We must stop them as soon as possible!"

Shen Zhen frowned helplessly and said, "Ah! Wu Mei, I also want to find a way to stop them, but now there is no way. The clan leader's intention is to save the Spirit Medicine Garden at all costs. We can only give up on everything else. With our current strength, I can't do anything!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu Mei's face froze. Even Qin San Ge thought the same way.

Doesn't that mean the Qin family will be bullied in the future?

She couldn't help but feel frustrated and angry.

"Does the Wang family really allow the people from the Weapon Refining Alliance to act recklessly on our territory?"

Qin Wu Mei couldn't help but angrily say.

Shen Zhen drank some spirit tea, suppressing the anger in his heart. Qin Wu Mei, who was not familiar with miscellaneous matters, didn't know the current situation of the Wang family.

Now the Wang family relies on the Weapon Refining Alliance, so they don't have the ability to protect the Qin family.

He explained slowly, "In this war, the Wang family suffered heavy casualties. It will take some time for them to recover. They can't control the Luo family now."

"Are we just going to let ourselves be bullied? If they take our earth fire this time, next time they might occupy our spiritual land, and behind that is the Spirit Medicine Garden." Qin Wu Mei said angrily.

Only then did Shen Zhen look at Chen Ling and forced a smile on his face, "That's why I want to find Chen Ling!"

"What's the use of finding me?" Chen Ling muttered in his heart, but asked, "What does Uncle Shen mean?"

"I want to transfer the earth fire to your name. After all, you are a Level Two Guest Elder of the Wanbao Tower. Even if the Luo family is powerful, they wouldn't dare to easily provoke the Wanbao Tower."

Shen Zhen finally revealed his thoughts.

"Will that work?" Chen Ling couldn't help but frown and ask.

"If that's the case, won't all the trouble of the Luo family snatching the earth fire fall on me in the future?" He pondered in his heart.

This completely contradicted his plan to cultivate peacefully to the Foundation Building stage.

【Reminder: Once you obtain the Qin family's second-grade inferior earth fire, the clan's resources will increase, and you will receive 30 incense points.】

At this moment, the reminder appeared again.

"30 incense points!" Chen Ling couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

"Chen nephew, this earth fire is crucial to us. Without it, we can't process materials at all."

"And you can rest assured of the strength of the Wanbao Tower!" Shen Zhen said decisively.

At this point, Chen Ling couldn't outright refuse. Whether the identity of being a Level Two Guest Elder of the Wanbao Tower would be effective or not was hard to say.

But after considering it, he finally made up his mind and nodded in agreement.

Brothers, please remember to continue reading! Whether we can turn the situation around depends on everyone!
