The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 65: The Qin Family's Return (Seeking to Continue Reading)

The next day, early in the morning.

The earth was dressed in a light veil, and the smoke from cooking rose gently. He Yunxiu got up early to cook, and the fragrance of Ling Valley filled the entire courtyard.

For breakfast today, there was beast meat spirit porridge, meat buns, and a large pot of spirit vegetables.

Chen Jia ate three meals a day, which surprised Qingtang, who had just married into the family. She had prepared herself to be a servant, but now it seemed that she didn't even have to cook. This situation was much better than she had expected. Her guard in her heart decreased a lot!

Whether it was due to exhaustion from last night or an improvement in spiritual roots, Chen Ling had a big appetite today and ate more than usual. He ate five meat buns, two large bowls of spirit porridge, and still felt unsatisfied. Fortunately, He Yunxiu had made more today.

The family sat around the table, eating their meal while He Yunxiu and Qingtang briefly introduced the situation at home.

After Xiaoping'an finished his meal, he took the little spinning wheel Chen Ling made for him and ran around in the hall.

The breakfast ended in a cheerful atmosphere.

After the meal.

Qingtang took the initiative to wash the dishes, but He Yunxiu wanted her to rest, only to be stopped by Li Yourong.

Chen Ling naturally didn't bother with these matters. In his opinion, with He Yunxiu's virtuousness, she would naturally be able to handle them. Now that there was an Qi Refining ninth level cultivator in the house, the consumption of Héqì Dan had greatly increased every month. He had to refine tools as soon as possible and earn spirit stones.

However, there was an important matter to attend to today.

That was to go to the market and handle the matter of becoming a guest of the Wang Family.

As soon as the door was opened, Chen Ling saw Shen Zhen hurrying towards him from the stone path.

Behind him were white footprints in the snow, and he was rubbing his hands anxiously.

"Uncle Shen, what's wrong?" Chen Ling asked when he saw the urgent look on his face.

"Let's talk inside!" Shen Zhen rubbed his hands and said in a low voice.

Chen Ling immediately invited Shen Zhen into the hall.

When Shen Zhen saw Qingtang, surprise appeared on his face.

Of course, he wasn't surprised that Chen Ling had taken another wife. For a cultivator who had no hope of reaching Foundation Building, it was normal to have four or five wives, let alone ten or eight.

What surprised him was Qingtang's cultivation level.

A Qi Refining ninth level cultivator was willing to be Chen Ling's concubine?

But considering his identity as a second-tier Refiner, it seemed reasonable.

After the wives greeted Shen Zhen and served him spirit tea, they withdrew.

"Chen Ling, the Qin Family is in trouble this time!" Shen Zhen sighed and said helplessly.

"Uncle Shen, what happened?" Chen Ling asked.

"Ah, this time, Wang Laozu's plan is far-reaching. Our Qin Family made a wrong move by choosing to go to the Wang Family market!"

"Wang Family has announced that they are going to establish a sect and redistribute the spiritual land."

"The spiritual land that originally belonged to our Qin Family will be taken back."

"Just because our Qin Family went to the Wang Family market and obtained some spiritual land there."

"But the spiritual land there, whether it's the area or the abundance of spiritual energy, is far inferior to this place!"

Shen Zhen said urgently.

From Shen Zhen's helpless expression, Chen Ling could see his anxiety at the moment.

But then again, it was normal for the Wang Family to establish a sect and redistribute the spiritual land.

"Uncle Shen, what should we do?" Chen Ling asked cautiously.

Based on his understanding of Shen Zhen, he probably already had a solution in mind when he came to find him early in the morning.

"Ah, this is our Qin Family's own choice, we can't blame others." Shen Zhen sighed and fell silent for a moment.

Looking at Chen Ling, he continued, "But there is still a glimmer of hope in this matter."

Chen Ling picked up the tea cup and gently brushed away the tea foam on top, patiently listening.

"Chen Ling, you are already a second-tier alchemist. As long as you become a guest of the Star Sword Sect, I can work behind the scenes and perhaps secure this spiritual land of the Qin family for you."

"In the future, the Qin family members who survive here don't have to move even if they become your vassals!"

"Do you think this plan is feasible?"

Shen Zhen's expression became cautious as he discussed with Chen Ling.

Unconsciously, Chen Ling's importance had far exceeded his expectations.

"Become my subsidiary family? Will the people of the Qin family agree?"

Chen Ling was extremely surprised and almost choked on the spiritual tea. He said unexpectedly, "This is the best solution we came up with after discussing with my fifth sister and Qin Tong."

"The Wang family will definitely reclaim this spiritual land in the future."

"Instead of benefiting others, it's better for it to fall into your hands."

"In the future, the Qin family descendants in this area can continue to survive here."

Shen Zhen said seriously.

He had tried all the methods and connections he could think of.

But the Wang family had already issued an order to reclaim the spiritual land within ten days, leaving no room for negotiation.

After considering for a moment, Chen Ling realized that the scale of this spiritual land of the Qin family was not small. It had a spiritual medicine garden, earth fire, and a first-class spiritual vein.

Even if he became a guest of the Star Sword Sect as a second-tier lower-grade alchemist, it would be impossible for him to obtain this spiritual land.

Having Shen Zhen's relationship was undoubtedly the best option!

"Uncle Shen, if you think it's appropriate, then I naturally have no objections."

"However, the people of the Qin family must understand that this is the spiritual land of my Chen family!"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ling decided to make some things clear to avoid any conflicts with the Qin family in the future.

Once people get used to something, they will consider it as a matter of course.

"Don't worry, nephew Chen. The industries here will all be yours in the future." Shen Zhen's experienced brows furrowed slightly, understanding Chen Ling's concerns.

The Qin family currently had no other choice but to move to the Wang family's market.

However, the Wang family's market was too close to the Yunmeng Marsh. If there was any danger, the Wang family would be wiped out.

They had to leave a portion of their clan members here!

And these remaining clan members naturally needed a place to settle and survive.

This was a forced and helpless move!

"Good, with Uncle Shen's words, I can rest assured. What do you need me to do, Uncle Shen?"

Chen Ling said with a smile.

If he could occupy this spiritual land of the Qin family, it would be a huge gain!

"Let's go to the market!" Shen Zhen said in a deep voice.

...

After burning an incense stick, the two arrived at the Market Affairs Hall.

There was already a long line outside.

Some were registering for the disciple assessment, while others, like Chen Ling, were enticed by the spiritual land and wanted to become a guest of the Star Sword Sect.

A young Qi Refining stage cultivator guarded the entrance of the Market Affairs Hall. He seemed to be very familiar with Shen Zhen.

After greeting him, Shen Zhen directly let the two in.

Soon, the two arrived at a hall where a middle-aged man in black clothes with a high crown was examining some documents.

Shen Zhen led Chen Ling forward, bowed to the middle-aged man, and said respectfully with a smile, "Shen Zhen pays respects to Senior Wang!"

"Pay respects to Senior Wang!" Chen Ling also bowed.

On the way here, Shen Zhen had already introduced him. The person in front of them was Wang Hai, a mid-Foundation Building stage cultivator from the Wang family, known for his integrity.

He had a good relationship with the Qin family!

Wang Hai looked up, glanced at Shen Zhen and Chen Ling, and forced a smile on his face. Helplessly, he said, "Shopkeeper Shen, haven't I already told you? The matter of the Qin family was decided by the patriarch and Wang Yun together. I can't do anything about it!"

Shen Zhen hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior Wang, you misunderstood. I came here this time for my nephew. He is a second-tier alchemist and can already refine spiritual weapons. He wants to become a guest of the Star Sword Sect!"
