The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 71: The Intelligence Brought by Chu Gui (Seeking to Continue Reading)

The main hall of the Fangshi Zawu Hall.

Chen Ling greeted Wang Hai with the etiquette of a junior and they took their seats as host and guest.

Then, Shen Zhen went straight to the point and explained in detail the recent bullying behavior of the Luo family.

After all, Shen Zhen was still a member of the Qin family, and there was a bond between the Qin family and the Wang family.

So, when he spoke, his words carried more weight than Chen Ling's.

Chen Ling was happy to sit aside and drink tea.

After listening to Shen Zhen's grievances, Wang Hai's face also darkened slightly. After thinking for a while, he forced a smile and replied, "Chen Keqing, Manager Shen, I will report this matter to the sect leader."

"But in the current situation, Qingyang Sect will definitely not let it go easily."

"We still have many places to rely on the Metallurgical Alliance, so the sect leader probably won't pay too much attention to it!"

His words were sincere, indicating that he did not consider them as outsiders.

"Thank you for your help, senior!" Shen Zhen could only clasp his fists and say.

Chen Ling's gaze shifted slightly. Wang Hai's words were tactful, but the meaning was clear.

There was nothing they could do to help!

However, Chen Ling had already achieved his goal.

Although the Wang family wanted to rely on the Metallurgical Alliance to resist the Qingyang Sect, they would not completely alienate the other affiliated families.

After all, these affiliated families were their foundation.

Considering the pros and cons, they would naturally have their own judgment.

Shen Zhen could only accept the situation. He then took out a spiritual weapon, the Mountainous Giant Ruler, and handed it to Wang Hai, saying respectfully, "Senior, this is a new spiritual weapon refined by our Duobao Pavilion. Please take a look at its quality. If the sect needs any magical tools in the future, please remember to give us, Duobao Pavilion, your support."

Shen Zhen was also an experienced person who knew that, at this point, they could only solve the Luo family's matter themselves.

But now, it was also an opportunity for Duobao Pavilion to strive for the sale of magical tools.

Duobao Pavilion was now rebuilt by Shen Zhen and Qin Yelian based on the original Duobao Pavilion, and it still focused on selling magical tools.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Hai took the Mountainous Giant Ruler and examined it.

The sect had just been established and naturally needed a large number of magical tools.

However, it seemed that the sect leader had already discussed the matter of magical tools with the people from the Metallurgical Alliance.

But he, as the head of the family, could still independently decide which family's magical tools to purchase.

As he looked at the Mountainous Giant Ruler, his eyes lit up slightly and he smiled, "The quality is good. Did Chen Dao You personally refine it?"

A refiner who could refine spiritual weapons would have a place wherever they went.

Naturally, Wang Hai wanted to take this opportunity to win him over.

Now that the Wang family had established a sect, the situation he would face in the future would be completely different, not only Chen Ling and the Qin family.

A sect would definitely have many factions, and he naturally needed his own power to establish himself in the sect.

"Replying to senior, I personally refined it!" Chen Ling replied respectfully.

Now was not the time to be modest. It was time to show Wang Hai his value.

Wang Hai nodded and said with a smile, "When we need magical tools in the future, I will contact you!"

Chen Ling and Shen Zhen thanked him again and took their leave.

...

Back at home, Chen Ling could only ask Shen Zhen to restrain their clan members and prevent them from getting into conflicts with the Luo family.

Shen Zhen could only reluctantly agree.

They were no match for the Luo family.

If they continued to fight, they would only end up at a disadvantage.

As they bid farewell with clasped fists.

But unknowingly, their roles had already reversed.

Originally, Chen Ling had shown utmost respect to Shen Zhen.

Now, with Chen Ling's elevated status, the situation had completely changed.

Chen Ling naturally understood the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the Qin family members.

In less than two months, they couldn't even protect their own spiritual land.

But this was the true portrayal of the weak being preyed upon by the strong in the cultivation world.

Without strength, no matter how good something was, you couldn't keep it.

But even in urgent situations, they still needed to make thorough preparations.

Chen Ling planned to personally investigate the situation of the Luo family in the next few days before taking action.

······。

In the evening, the family was having dinner.

Knock knock!

"Friend Chen!" came Chu Gui's shout from outside the door.

Chen Ling suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Chu Gui in almost a month.

He got up and walked over to open the door.

There was a cold wind outside.

Chu Gui's round face, full of wealth, was red from the cold. As soon as he came in, he brushed off the snowflakes on his body. He didn't pay any attention to it and walked straight into the hall.

"Friend Chu, have you eaten?" Chen Ling asked with a smile.

The wives had already finished eating, and he was the only one drinking and thinking about something, so he was a bit slower.

"Not yet!" Chu Gui said as he sat down at the dining table.

Chen Ling asked He Yunxiu to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks.

He Yunxiu set the tableware and also poured a cup of wine for Chu Gui.

"Thank you, friend He!" Chu Gui said with gratitude, then he drank the spirit wine in one gulp and ate a few pieces of meat, devouring them as if he hadn't eaten for days.

He had the expression of someone who hadn't eaten for days.

Chen Ling looked at him speechlessly. Did this guy really not consider himself an outsider?

"These people from the Luo family are really despicable!" After eating half a bowl of meat, he said angrily.

"What's wrong? Did the Luo family do something to you?" Chen Ling asked immediately when he heard the mention of the Luo family.

"Not really, it's just that a few people bought the Dragon Tiger Pill and owe spirit stones!" Chu Gui said while pouring spirit wine for himself, complaining in his mouth.

Chen Ling was stunned. He had forgotten about this important matter!

Then he asked He Yunxiu to bring another jar of spirit wine.

The two of them ate and chatted.

After finishing the meal, Chu Gui left.

In the ancient bronze-colored stove, the flames flickered gently, giving off a hint of warmth.

Chen Ling sat quietly in the cultivation room, contemplating what to do next.

From Chu Gui's words, he further understood the situation of the Luo family.

This time, six Foundation Building families came to the Jinshanfang market, and the Luo family was one of them.

The Luo family currently had two Foundation Building cultivators. The family head, Luo Hao, was at the mid-stage of Foundation Building. However, he was seriously injured in the battle and had one leg cut off.

Although he had recovered somewhat after more than a month of recuperation, his combat power was only sixty percent of its peak.

The other Foundation Building cultivator, Luo Qi, was at the early stage and was more inclined towards refining tools. His actual combat power was not high.

Chu Gui knew all this because the people of the Luo family knew that he was an alchemist.

They had bought some Qi and Blood Filling Pills from him.

Chu Gui was also talkative, so he not only did business with many cultivators from the Luo family for the Dragon Tiger Pill, but also knew the situation of the Luo family very well.

"Sixty percent combat power!" Chen Ling's eyes flickered.

The combat power of a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator could probably withstand the attacks of three or four early-stage Foundation Building cultivators.

And a sixty percent combat power, Chen Ling believed, would not be a match for the Golden Ink Armor Sword Spider.

"In that case, let's take action tonight!" Chen Ling's face turned cold.

From the current situation, there was no possibility of reconciliation with the Luo family.

The Luo family clearly wanted to occupy this spiritual land.

He wouldn't just let go of the resources he had worked so hard to obtain.

And now was the best time to strike, while Luo Hao hadn't fully recovered.

But before setting off, he had one more thing to do.

Brothers, remember to check back on Tuesday for the next chapter!
