The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 94: Qin Wumei's Promise (Seeking to Continue Reading)

"Meng Dao-you, regarding this spiritual vein matter, remember not to let anyone else know," Chen Ling said.

"Also, secretly send a few clan members to hide nearby. That area will be our development site for this year."

Chen Ling thought for a moment and quickly came up with a plan.

First, secure this mountain hollow and then slowly develop it.

If there really is a spiritual vein, then relocation must be considered.

Just the consumption of several dozen medium-grade spirit stones per day for a pseudo-spiritual vein is something he cannot bear.

Although that area is more than 300 miles away from the core territory of the Star Sword Sect and is somewhat remote, it can still be considered a semi-wilderness region.

But considering the current situation faced by the Star Sword Sect...

To the east is the Qingyang Sect, to the south is the Weapon Forging Alliance, and to the north is the vast and boundless Yunmeng Marsh.

To the west is the Hundred Beasts Sect.

From this overall situation, the Qingyang Sect is already a mortal enemy, and the Weapon Forging Alliance seems to be superficially united but actually divided. In the long run, they are somewhat unreliable.

Now, the distance between the Star Cloud Peak and the border of the Qingyang Sect is less than 300 miles. The so-called safety has long been relative.

On the contrary, the western region is relatively safer.

As for the demonic beasts on the wilderness, in this kind of area, they are mostly first-order demonic beasts, and there are almost no second-order demonic beasts.

He also has enough ability to deal with them.

【Hint: Obtaining the first spiritual vein of the clan will earn you 40 points of incense value.】

At this moment, a prompt appeared.

Chen Ling's gaze shifted. With the improvement of his cultivation and skills, the more points of incense value he needed to continue upgrading.

Now, it feels like the incense value is simply not enough.

Especially since he also needs to prepare for Foundation Building next, in terms of divine sense, he is already sufficient.

But the spiritual root and the Nine Revolutions Spirit Flame Art need to be upgraded to a higher level.

The spiritual root must at least reach the middle-grade level for the success rate to be higher.

And currently, the spiritual root is at the lower-grade level, at 45%. To reach the middle-grade level, he still needs at least two to three hundred points of incense value.

Based on his current accumulation rate of three points of incense value per day, it would also take three months.

Fortunately, he still has overall security at the moment.

There's no need to rush.

Three months is just three months.

However, rewards like the spiritual land still need to be collected by all means.

Meng Ping solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Master, rest assured. This spiritual vein is deeply hidden underground and has no guiding array. Even in the valley, there is no trace of spiritual energy."

Chen Ling nodded and said, "You can go back first. The spring cultivation will begin soon. I will discuss with Uncle Shen and find a way to secure that area."

Just as he finished speaking and before he could communicate with Shen Zhen, Shen Zhen and Qin Wumei walked in from outside the main gate.

Chen Ling looked at them with serious expressions, especially Qin Wumei, whose eyes were red, giving him a sense that something was wrong.

"Uncle Shen, what's the matter?" Chen Ling's heart tightened, and he quickly gestured for them to sit down, taking the lead in asking.

"It's a disaster!" Shen Zhen sighed heavily and continued, "Ah! Yesterday, the Wang Family Market was attacked by a third-order demonic beast, resulting in heavy casualties."

"Qin Clan's leader also died while fighting against the demonic beast, and the clan suffered a large number of casualties."

As soon as Shen Zhen finished speaking, Qin Wumei, regardless of her identity as a Foundation Building cultivator, couldn't help but sob and cry softly.

For a moment, tears filled her eyes.

"The Qin Clan's leader is dead?"

"How could a third-order demonic beast appear in the Wang Family Market?"

Chen Ling's face was filled with astonishment upon hearing this.

In his memory, during the six years he had been in the wilderness, he had never heard of a third-level demonic beast appearing in the outskirts of Yunmeng Marsh.

"It is said that someone killed the hatchling of the third-level demonic beast, the Fire Scale Eagle, and brought its corpse to the market. The Fire Scale Eagle was completely enraged, which caused it to charge out of Yunmeng Marsh and into the market."

"I was against the Qin family moving to Wangjia Market in the first place. It's too close to Yunmeng Marsh, too dangerous."

Shen Zhen took a sip of spiritual tea and said angrily.

"Could this be the work of Qingyang Sect using someone else's hand?"

Meng Ping also said in shock.

Chen Ling nodded in agreement, "That's highly possible."

Since the establishment of Xingjian Sect several months ago, although Qingyang Sect had only launched one direct attack, they had never stopped their covert attacks.

"Ah! How will Xingjian Sect handle this?" Chen Ling sighed and asked.

With the attack of an angry third-level demonic beast, Wangjia Market was most likely already in ruins.

"It is said that the Sect Master personally went to the market for rescue, but was intercepted by the Gold Core Elder of Qingyang Sect on the way."

"The Sect Master was forced to retreat to Xingyun Peak, and as for the specific situation, outsiders have no way of knowing."

Shen Zhen shook his head and sighed.

Chen Ling could only sigh along with him, thinking back to when he first met Qin Ping, the head of the family, and his impressive strategizing skills were still fresh in his memory.

But now?

"Master, is there any way to bring back the Qin family members from Wangjia Market?" Shen Zhen asked helplessly, his brows furrowed.

"According to the news from the people over there, that third-level demonic beast frequently attacks the market, causing a large number of casualties each time."

Shen Zhen's fifth sister, Qin Wu Mei, choked and said, "Master Chen, as long as you can bring the other members of my Qin family back from Wangjia Market, I will refine pills for you for free in the future."

Chen Ling was taken aback by her words. Even with Shen Zhen's connections, there was no way to rescue the people.

What could he do?

Meng Ping, who was on the side, was afraid of offending Shen Zhen, but also worried about Chen Ling going to rescue the people. He cautiously said, "Master, this is most likely a well-planned scheme by Qingyang Sect!"

"They first brought the corpse of the Fire Scale Eagle hatchling to Wangjia Market, attracting the attack of the Fire Scale Eagle on the market. At the same time, they ambushed the Xingjian Sect cultivators on their way to rescue the market."

"If the Master rashly goes, it will definitely be more dangerous than beneficial!"

Chen Ling nodded. Meng Ping's analysis was reasonable.

However, he had overestimated the courage of this head of the family.

Although he was Qin's son-in-law, he definitely wouldn't go to such a huge risk.

But he couldn't directly refuse either, as it would disappoint Shen Zhen and Qin Wu Mei. After thinking for a while, he finally came up with a reply, speaking with great seriousness, "Uncle Shen, Qingyang Sect has planned this so meticulously, how could they easily allow someone to go to Wangjia Market for rescue? Besides, you know the current situation of our Chen family, we simply don't have the ability!"

"Master Chen, as long as you can save my Qin family members, I, Qin Wu Mei, will agree to any conditions, even if it means offering myself." Qin Wu Mei's voice choked, but her eyes were unusually determined.

Shen Zhen had no choice. She had already lost all hope, and now she could only try anything.

In her eyes, being able to save even one Qin family member was a success.

As for Chen Ling, he had married five wives and concubines, and he always asked Qin Yelian for replenishing pills every day. He was definitely a lecherous person.

Chen Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wu Xiaogu, you're overthinking it. If there's anything I can do to help, I will definitely do it. But right now, I simply have no power!"

He hadn't expected that Qin Wu Mei, as a Foundation Building cultivator, would value her clan members so much, to the point of offering herself.

If he had the ability, he would naturally accept it.

Qin Wu Mei not only had a graceful figure, but also a beautiful appearance. She was also a first-class alchemist and a Foundation Building cultivator.

She was almost perfect in every aspect.

Of course, the most important thing was the value of her incense.
