The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 77: Summoning of the Sect Master Wang Yun (Seeking to Catch Up)

Another five days passed in a hurry.

The cold winter continued.

The passage between the market and the mining area was completely cut off. On one hand, it was due to the repairs, and on the other hand, it was because of the cold winter. More and more demonic beasts were coming out of the Yunmeng Marsh.

As a result, the risks on this road increased significantly.

The prices of the market's magical artifacts not only returned to pre-war levels, but also increased significantly.

Chen Ling already had more than fifty treasures in his hands.

Most of them were obtained from the two Foundation Building cultivators from the Luo family this time, while the others were obtained from his original materials refining.

Given the current situation, he was not in a hurry to sell them.

The prices of magical artifacts would definitely continue to rise.

In the past few days, his injuries had also recovered quite a bit.

With the improvement of his injuries, he set up the geomagnetic sword formation at home.

Although he had already set up the Golden Armored Sword Formation before, its attack range was only thirty zhang, which was enough to protect his family.

But it was far from enough to protect his spiritual land.

Once the geomagnetic sword formation was activated, it could cover a radius of three li.

As long as there was sufficient spiritual energy supply, even cultivators in the Foundation Building stage, whether early or late, would not dare to enter rashly.

This formation was both offensive and defensive, and it took Chen Ling half a day to set it up successfully.

After setting up the sword formation, Chen Ling's sense of security greatly increased.

He felt that this spiritual land truly belonged to him.

······

On this day, the Chen family had just finished breakfast.

Shen Zhen came to the door!

Chen Ling looked at Shen Zhen, who seemed anxious, with surprise. "Uncle Shen, did Senior Wang ask us to go to the market for an important matter?"

It had been more than ten days since the Luo brothers were killed, and with the Luo family members moving away, everything had been calm as if the matter had been settled.

Moreover, on that night, not only was there a blizzard, but he also used the Qinglian Thunderous Fire to incinerate the bodies of the Luo brothers.

As for the other traces of the fight, even if they were not buried by the blizzard, they would have been completely dissipated by the terrifying explosive power of the Golden Ink Armor Sword Spider.

So he wasn't worried that anyone would find out anything.

"With the current situation, Wang Hai probably wants to buy magical artifacts. There's no need for you to be suspicious and scare yourself!"

"But it doesn't seem necessary for me to go and buy magical artifacts."

Chen Ling secretly thought, still having some doubts.

"Uncle Shen, did Senior Wang mention what it was about?" he asked Shen Zhen again.

Shen Zhen frowned and said, "He didn't make it clear what it was about, but from his tone, it doesn't seem like a small matter!"

Chen Ling's gaze flickered, and he waved his hand, saying, "Uncle Shen, let's set off then!"

······

On the way, light snow fell gently.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Ling and Shen Zhen arrived at the Market Affairs Hall.

Although it was freezing cold, the Market Affairs Hall was bustling with activity. The cultivators waiting outside to see Wang Hai had already formed a long queue.

Fortunately, Shen Zhen was familiar with the disciple in charge of patrolling, so after a brief explanation, they were able to enter the main hall directly.

"Senior Wang, I wonder why you summoned us here? Is there something important?" After paying his respects as a junior, Chen Ling asked cautiously.

Wang Hai still looked energetic and full of vitality. He didn't seem to have changed much, except that his gaze at Chen Ling seemed to have a hint of doubt.

Wang Hai picked up the teacup and took two sips, then squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Ling, not speaking for a while.

Chen Ling was a bit puzzled and didn't dare to continue asking, so he also picked up the teacup and awkwardly took a few sips.

Originally, he thought that Wang Hai probably wanted to talk about magical artifacts, but now it seemed that it wasn't the case.

This left him completely confused.

Shen Zhen looked at Wang Hai with a doubtful expression, but wisely remained silent.

Wang Hai confirmed that Chen Ling's cultivation level was indeed at the late stage of Qi Refining, and then smiled as he said, "Two Foundation Building cultivators from the Luo family were killed. I believe you all are aware of this, right?"

Chen Ling naturally wouldn't admit to such a thing and asked with a puzzled expression, "I don't understand what you mean, please clarify."

"Ah!" Wang Hai sighed, his face showing dissatisfaction. "I was originally against letting people from the Alchemy Union enter our territory. These people are arrogant and have made things chaotic."

"If two Foundation Building cultivators from the Luo family were killed, it's their own fault for having low cultivation levels."

"But this time, Jin Laozu took the opportunity to make a move and took half of the nearly completed production of the Cracked Gold Vein for the next year."

"The Sect Master now has to rely on the Alchemy Union to fight against the Qingyang Sect, so we can only agree."

"But the Sect Master still wants to understand the situation, so he asked me to bring you all to the sect."

"This?" Chen Ling was shocked upon hearing this, and cold sweat instantly broke out.

Originally, he thought this matter would just end like that.

He didn't expect there would be further negotiations.

But for the Sect Master to want him to go to the sect, what could it be for?

Could it be to please the Alchemy Union and hand himself over?

Originally, he thought that after resolving the trouble with the Luo family, he would be able to live a peaceful life, but now it seems that it won't be so easy.

Wang Hai seemed to have sensed Chen Ling's doubts and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry too much. The Sect Master just wants you to go and understand the situation. He won't do anything to you!"

"Elder! Do you know specifically what the Sect Master wants to ask me about?" Chen Ling asked cautiously.

Wang Hai shook his head. "I don't know about that, but it's probably about the Luo family. I've already told her once, so just tell the truth!"

From Wang Hai's tone, Chen Ling could tell that Wang Hai was leaning towards them.

However, with his cautious and careful personality, he didn't like the situation of completely entrusting his fate to others.

But now there was no other choice.

"You all follow me to the sect!"

Wang Hai stood up and said.

Chen Ling and Shen Zhen looked at each other and could only follow along.

...

The Star Sword Sect was built on the basis of the Qingyang Sect's branch.

It is located about a hundred miles south of the Jinshanfang City.

Standing on Wang Hai's small cloud boat, Chen Ling looked down.

Between the mountains, it was all white.

Frozen for thousands of miles, snow drifting for tens of thousands of miles, a snowy world.

But as the cloud boat landed on the mountaintop, a different scene appeared before their eyes.

Here, it was lush and green, without ice and snow covering it. Looking into the distance, on both sides of the mountain road, there were terraced fields, layer upon layer, filled with spiritual fields and medicinal fields.

The layers of mountains were magnificent and breathtaking.

At the mountaintop, there were numerous pavilions, appearing and disappearing in the mist, like a fairyland on earth, magnificent and spectacular.

From time to time, cultivators controlled different magical tools, and even demonic beasts, coming and going, appearing exceptionally busy.

Compared to Jinshanfang City, this place was a completely different world.

The cloud boat landed outside a grand square.

Then Wang Hai put away the cloud boat, and the three of them walked towards the grand hall.

After entering the hall, the disciple in charge of reception brought them tea and bowed to Wang Hai, saying, "Elder Five, please wait a moment. I will go report to the Sect Master."

Wang Hai nodded.

He also signaled to Chen Ling and Shen Zhen not to be too nervous.

Soon, faint footsteps could be heard outside the gate.

A figure entered in an instant.

Chen Ling looked up.

He saw a young woman in her twenties, wearing a moon-white robe. Her eyes were clear, her figure was graceful, especially her slender waist, which could be held with just one hand. She was incredibly beautiful.

But her aura was extremely sharp, as if she was emitting a sword qi, sharp and imposing.

Ah! Chapter 76 has been submitted for review!
