The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 90: Wang Yun's Calculations (Seeking to Catch Up)

"Uncle Shen, what does the Gao family mean by this?" Chen Ling sat in the main seat, watching Gao Wu's figure leave the courtyard, and asked with a slightly furrowed brow.

Shen Zhen hurriedly whispered, "The Gao family relies on having four Foundation Building cultivators in their family, so they always keep the prices of magical tools low, but in previous years, it was only a 30% discount."

"Originally, the Qin family didn't want to offend the Gao family, so even if there wasn't much profit, they would still accept orders."

"But this time, they directly lowered the price to a 40% discount, which is clearly bullying the Chen family. Moreover, the mining veins in Heihe Gorge have just been opened, and there isn't enough ore to supply, and there is also a shortage of manpower, so we can only refuse."

"As for the Fang family, their treatment is similar to ours. The Gao family intends to secretly swallow their spiritual medicines."

Chen Ling's gaze slightly condensed, understanding that the Gao family was clearly bullying others.

However, the Gao family had four Foundation Building cultivators, and there was even one at the peak of Foundation Building. If it weren't for him bringing out Wang Yun, Gao Wu wouldn't have given up so easily.

A family with a peak Foundation Building cultivator sitting in power was definitely not something he could provoke at the moment.

He secretly sighed that being the head of a family was not an easy task!

If it weren't for the fact that these resources were tied to the incense value, it would be better not to be the head of the family at all!

It was simply a laborious life!

Still worrying and fearing!

Back then, he should have just moved directly to the Xingjian Sect's main peak, Xingyun Peak, where the spiritual energy was abundant and safety was guaranteed.

But when he thought of Wang Yun's strength, he hesitated again.

He had many secrets on him, and it would be even more unstable under the watchful eyes of such a powerful individual.

Now, because of the matter with the magical tools, he had offended the Gao family.

It might even bring disaster.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry again.

The cultivation world was a survival of the fittest.

If the Gao family had evil intentions, with the current strength of the Chen family, they wouldn't be able to resist at all.

Chen Ling thought for a moment. There were still ten days left until the five-month deadline set by Wang Yun. Originally, he planned to wait until the last day to hand over the Xingtie Sword to Wang Yun for caution.

But now it seemed that he had to do it earlier.

Having more interactions with Wang Yun also made the Gao family hesitate.

Afterward, he asked Shen Zhen about the situation in the workshop.

Although the shortage of ore had been temporarily alleviated, the shortage of manpower was still a serious constraint.

Especially with the arrival of the cultivation season.

Regardless of the various families or individual cultivators, the demand for magical tools had increased significantly.

But the current situation could only prioritize their own family and ensure the safety of their people during cultivation.

Afterward, Chen Ling left the Chen family and headed towards the Xingjian Sect.

The main peak of the Xingjian Sect was Xingyun Peak.

Xingyun Peak was currently the only source of second-grade spiritual veins in the Xingjian Sect.

The Chen family was dozens of miles away from Xingyun Peak.

With the help of the Flowing Cloud Robe, Chen Ling arrived at the foot of Xingyun Peak in less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

There were noticeably more disciples of the Xingjian Sect on the way. Chen Ling entered the reception room at the foot of the mountain, where he was greeted by a mid-level Qi Refining disciple.

Chen Ling took out his guest identity card and explained that he wanted to visit the Sect Master.

The disciple didn't dare to neglect and immediately personally operated a small cloud boat, bringing Chen Ling to the main hall at the mountaintop.

Before long, Wang Yun slowly walked into the main hall.

Unlike last time, she was dressed in a moon-white wide robe that concealed her graceful curves.

Although she was dressed plainly, her natural beauty and stunning appearance still made people feel awe-inspiring.

But Chen Ling had no impure thoughts in his heart.

He observed his nose and observed his heart!

Only when Wang Yun sat in the main seat did he cautiously bow and salute, "Greetings, Sect Master. I have fulfilled my mission and successfully refined the Xingtie Sword yesterday."

As she spoke, she took out the Star Iron Sword from her storage ring and handed it over with both hands.

Seeing the sword shimmering with a faint starlight, Wang Yun's indifferent face flashed with a hint of brightness, and her divine sense slightly moved.

Chen Ling's spiritual sword flashed and turned into a starlight, landing in Wang Yun's hand.

"Not bad."

Wang Yun gently stroked the spiritual sword with her jade hand, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her beautiful eyes.

As a sword cultivator, she could tell at a glance that this spiritual sword was only a second-grade intermediate quality, but its power was no less than a top-grade sword.

This was entirely due to the exquisite craftsmanship of the weapon refiner.

Seeing Chen Ling's cautious appearance, a faint smile appeared on her face. She pointed to a wooden chair next to her and said lightly, "Please sit! In less than five months, you were able to refine the Star Iron Sword. Your talent is not bad!"

"Yes!" Chen Ling originally planned to complete the task and leave, but Wang Yun's imposing manner made him feel frightened.

But since Wang Yun asked him to sit down, it seemed that there was something else she wanted to discuss. He could only sit down with half of his buttocks and remained silent.

Wang Yun put away the Star Iron Sword, turned her gaze, and smiled, "Chen Keqing, were you a wandering cultivator before?"

"Yes, my wife and I have been cultivating in Yunmeng Marsh for six years. A few months ago, we heard that the sect was recruiting guest elders, so we immediately came to join."

Chen Ling lowered his head and spoke sincerely.

"Not bad! Since Chen Keqing can already refine the Star Iron Sword, then you can be a second-level guest elder of the sect."

"In addition, I won't let you work in vain for refining the Star Iron Sword. You can receive one thousand contribution points."

Wang Yun seemed to appreciate Chen Ling's attitude. Compared to last time, it was a world of difference.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Chen Ling hurriedly stood up and expressed his gratitude, his face filled with excitement.

One thousand contribution points in the Star Sword Sect were already enough to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.

And he would also be promoted to a second-level guest elder.

The treatment for guest elders in the newly established Star Sword Sect was quite generous.

The treatment for second-level guest elders was more than just double that of first-level guest elders.

There were also various privileges.

This situation was somewhat unexpected for him.

He had just harbored many complaints about Wang Yun, but now he felt more balanced.

"Next, there is another important matter I need Chen Keqing's help with!" Wang Yun said in a gentle tone.

Chen Ling couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. In the six months since the establishment of the Star Sword Sect, they had invested a lot of resources in recruiting disciples and guest elders.

What other important matter did the Sect Master need his help with?

Wang Yun suddenly raised her hand, and a storage bag flew towards him, floating in front of him.

"Inside are the spiritual restrictions, materials, and refining techniques for forging the Five Elements Star Yuan Sword. Take a look and see how long it will take for you to refine it."

"This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Don't let anyone else know."

After saying this, Wang Yun's expression became solemn, and a hint of killing intent could be faintly felt.

Although the Star Sword Sect was currently in a cooperative relationship with the Metallurgy Alliance, she did not trust the people from the alliance.

This time, in order to invite the Patriarch of the Jin Family to take action, the Wang Family had paid a price of over ten kilograms of third-grade Jin Yang Stone and three million spirit stones.

At the same time, they had made certain concessions to the families of the Metallurgy Alliance in the market and spirit land.

But all of this was a forced choice.

As long as the Star Sword Sect stood firm, she would naturally clean up gradually.

But the Five Elements Star Yuan Sword was crucial to her.

Once it was refined, she would turn it into her life treasure, greatly increasing its power.

She had already reached the peak of Foundation Building, and with the Five Elements Star Yuan Sword, dealing with early Gold Core cultivators would be a piece of cake.

She was eager to refine the Five Elements Star Yuan Sword.

But for a while, she didn't have a suitable candidate, which was why she had let Chen Ling try to refine the Star Iron Sword last time.

As for the heavier tone, it was naturally to give Chen Ling enough pressure and stimulate his potential.

To her surprise, Chen Ling actually managed to refine it within the specified time.
