The Longevity Family: Starting from the Branches and Leaves

Chapter 569: Children's Marriage and Refusal to Form an Alliance

Chiyong City.

A courtyard of the Chen family filled with spiritual energy.

"Meet Dad and Mom!"

Chen Ping'an walked into the hall and bowed to Chen Ling and He Yunxiu.

"An'er, what have you been busy with these past two days? I haven't seen you anywhere."

Looking at her son, He Yunxiu asked with a smile.

Looking at his mother and father, Chen Pingan said helplessly, "Mom, you also know that my current cultivation level is not even as good as that of a servant, so I have to improve it as soon as possible."

He also felt tremendous pressure these days.

Originally in the Tianyun Realm, as the head of a family, he had a lot of pressure.

But in the spiritual world, the pressure is even greater.

Compared with people of the same age from other affiliated families, my cultivation level is far behind.

Although he is now in his early twenties, his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building is already very good.

But compared with people of the same age from other aristocratic families, he is far behind.

"An'er, you have just arrived in the spirit world, so just take your time. You are already doing well, so don't rush for success!"

Chen Ling smiled and said.

He also understands the pressure his son is facing today.

Others may also have a lot of shocks, but they are in good physical condition in all aspects and have sufficient family resources.

It won't be long before they catch up.

But Ping'an is different. He is older, his aptitude is average, and the skills he practices are also average.

Even though resources are plentiful, the speed is not fast.

"Dad, I understand!"

Chen Pingan said in a low voice.

"Listen to your father, don't worry!"

He Yunxiu looked at her son with doting eyes.

Although their son has had a weak constitution since childhood, he is extremely sensible and they don't have to worry about him in any way.

If he wasn't the head of the family.

She also doesn't want her children to have too much pressure. Whether they succeed in cultivation or not is not important.

As long as I can live in peace, I can get married, have children, and start a family in the future.

She was relieved.

Then, he took out the Spiritual Vein Pill and handed it to Ping An, saying, "An'er, this is the Spiritual Vein Pill your father gave you. After taking it and refining it, it will be able to raise your spiritual roots to the Earth Grade, and your cultivation speed will be greatly improved in the future!"

"Spirit Vein Pill, upgrade to earth-grade spiritual roots?"

"Mom, is this true?"

Hearing his mother's words, Chen Pingan looked at the pill bottle in shock.

Being able to improve his spiritual veins is what he has always dreamed of.

But he couldn't do it without his father's help.

Even though, as the head of the family, he was able to fully allocate family resources over the years, he still did not find any elixir to improve his spiritual roots.

I didn’t expect that I had just arrived in the spirit world.

My father got me such a good elixir!
I was really excited.

However, looking at the pill bottle, he shook his head and said seriously, "Mom, your aptitude is not good enough, so you should take this Spiritual Vein Pill. It doesn't matter if my cultivation progresses slowly!"

When He Yunxiu heard her son's words, a happy smile appeared on her face.

After all, this is Lingmai Pill, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a rare treasure.

She was very pleased that her son was able to consider himself when faced with this magical medicine.

But looking at the pill bottle, she smiled and said, "An'er, with your father's help, my cultivation will also improve. Besides, I'm staying at home now and won't go out, so there won't be any danger."

"You have to help your father with family affairs, go to different cities, and improve your cultivation!"

"An'er, just accept it."

"I'll find a way to deal with your mother's cultivation!"

Chen Ling smiled.

When my son was born, I didn’t even have the money to buy any supplements or even low-grade spiritual rice.

And it was only after his son was born that his golden finger was activated and his life began to turn around.

So I feel a little guilty towards my son.

Now that I have the ability, it is natural for me to make up for it.

At the beginning, I had mixed spiritual roots, and when I gave birth to An'er, he also had mixed spiritual roots of the five elements.

Now all he needs to do is take the Spirit Vein Pill to upgrade An'er's spiritual roots to earth-grade spiritual roots.

That is the five elements earth-grade spiritual root. If you practice the Five Elements Qianyuan Sutra, your achievements in peace will not be bad in the future.

Hearing this, Chen Pingan took the pill bottle and said, "Thank you, Dad and Mom!"

"An'er, when are you going to take it?"

Chen Ling asked.

He was also a little worried that the Lingmai Pill was too strong and his son couldn't withstand it.

"Dad, when do you think An'er will take it?"

Chen Ping'an had no experience in this kind of thing and didn't dare to make the decision, so he asked Chen Ling.

Chen Ling thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I now have a five-element technique of a fairly high grade, which is just right for your five-element spiritual roots."

"You should practice this technique first, and when you have mastered it, you can take the Spiritual Vessel Pill. This way, you will be able to better absorb and relieve the medicinal power, and the danger will be greatly reduced!"

"Yes, Dad!" Chen Pingan replied respectfully, his face full of anticipation.

Immediately, Chen Ling took out a jade slip from the storage ring, which recorded the Five Elements Qian Yuan Jue. The first three levels were enough to practice to the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, with the various analytical annotations he gained after adding some points, it would not be difficult to practice.

Chen Pingan took the jade slip, injected his spiritual consciousness into it, and instantly his whole body was immersed in it.

After an incense stick of time, his consciousness withdrew from the jade slip and said to Chen Ling in disbelief, "Dad, this Five Elements Qianyuan Jue is so exquisite!"

Chen Ling nodded and said with a smile, "You should practice well. Once you get started, you can open up the five elements meridian circulation and condense the five elements spiritual energy. Then you can take the spiritual vein pill!"

"My child understands!"

Chen Pingan bowed in reply.

"In addition, this Five Elements Qian Yuan Zhen Jue can only be passed on to my Chen family members from now on, and cannot be passed on to others!"

Chen Ling reminded again.

He intended to pass down the Five Elements Qianyuan Sutra as the family's founding technique, so it was impossible for him to allow other family members to practice it.

"Yes, Dad!"

Chen Pingan replied respectfully.

"An'er, don't worry, just take your time!"

He Yunxiu smiled.

"Recently, there are several Hedao families whose daughters want to marry you. I want to ask what you think?"

He Yunxiu was worried that her son was under too much pressure, so she immediately changed the subject.

Hearing this, Chen Pingan suddenly got a headache.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to get married, but the girls in the clan are basically at the Golden Core stage, and some are even at the Nascent Soul stage.

He doesn't really want to marry a wife whose cultivation level is much higher than his.

But when his mother mentioned it, he couldn't refuse.

"Mom, I'm not in a hurry about this matter. I want to wait for a while before considering it!"

After Chen Pingan finished speaking, he put the pill bottle and pills into his storage ring, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Ling and the others.

Obviously, he was also worried about talking about marriage with his mother.

"Hey, this kid!"

He Yunxiu shook her head helplessly.

"There's no rush. If there's any good match, just keep an eye out for An'er!"

Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Why not hurry?"

"He's not in a hurry, but his brothers are!"

"Xingyue, Xingzu, Xinglei, Xinglong are all 17 or 18 years old, and they have all received marriage proposals!" "As the eldest brother, he can't hold his younger brothers back!"

He Yunxiu said anxiously.

Hearing this, Chen Ling also frowned, "Then wait until his spiritual roots are improved, then you can talk to him properly!"

He Yunxiu nodded. This was the only way it could be!
"Mom, are you forcing my brother to get married again?"

At this time, Chen Shengxia walked in from outside and spoke to He Yunxiu with a smile on his face.

"You little girl, you would be like this even if your father were here!"

He Yunxiu glared at her and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Dad is not an outsider. If I have to bow to him all day long, it will annoy him to death!"

Chen Shengxia said with a smile.

"Xia'er said, there's no need to be so polite to a family!"

Chen Ling smiled.

His current state of mind has already made his thoughts clear.

Knowing that my daughter's nature is most in line with the great path, there is no need to restrict her.

For cultivators, different people have different paths. Some people follow the rules and practice various techniques step by step without any doubt.

Some people act on impulse, but they make rapid progress.

Therefore, Chen Ling did not have any too strict requirements for the children. As long as they had good character, other problems would not be a big deal.

"You, just spoil her!"

"Don't you think about it? She's not young anymore. There are as many people who come to her house to propose marriage as her brother these days!"

He Yunxiu also glared at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling scratched his head and said helplessly, "Then you can talk to Xia Er. I have something to do and I'll leave first!"

"Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry about my marriage!"

Chen Shengxia said nonchalantly.

"Girl, you are becoming more and more disrespectful!"

He Yunxiu said in a very awkward manner

Chen Ling left the courtyard with a smile on his face.

My son and daughter have grown up and are old enough to get married!

Just now, he received a message from Qi Baoyi, saying that Yan Xinya was waiting for him in the hall.

Chen Ling had no choice but to go.

However, he had made up his mind that no matter what, Xiyong City would never join the war against the Golden-Eyed Elven Clan in the northwest.

When I arrived at the hall, I saw Qi Baoyi and Yan Xinya discussing something!
See Chen Ling coming.

Yan Xinya stood up, bowed to him, and said with a faint smile, "Greetings, City Lord Chen!"

"Thank you for waiting for me, Friend Yan!"

Chen Ling also bowed in return.

After a few pleasantries, Yan Xinya went straight to the point.

"This time I came to Xiyong City, in addition to congratulating City Lord Chen on his wedding, I also have a mission."

"I, the Lord of Chutian Immortal City, hope that our two cities can form an alliance and join forces to fight against the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan!"

Yan Xinya spoke calmly and her eyes were as clear as spring water.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling bowed and said, "Thank you City Lord Yan for looking up to me. Forming an alliance with Chutian Immortal City is something that Xiyong City would be more than happy to do."

According to the current grade of immortal cities, Xiyong City is only a Xuan-level immortal city.

The Chutian Immortal City is a heavenly-level immortal city, and it has stood in the Chutian Kingdom for many years.

It is considered the largest force in Chutian Kingdom.

It is completely not on the same level as the city of Xiyong.

Taking the initiative to propose an alliance with Xiyong City would be giving Xiyong City a huge face.

Of course, in the battle with Wanjian Immortal City, Xiyong City has demonstrated a combat power far exceeding that of Xuanjie Immortal City.

That's why the Yan family asked Yan Xinya to come and discuss the alliance.

Yan Xinya nodded, thinking that Chen Ling would not refuse such a thing.

Although Chen Ling's cultivation level was only at the Refining Void stage, it was common knowledge that he had killed the seventh-rank leader of the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan.

Therefore, its hidden strength is definitely not just this.

"I don't know, Brother Yan, in what form should we form an alliance?"

Chen Ling took a sip of the spiritual tea and asked with a smile.

Although he said that he agreed to form an alliance, he only responded politely.

After all, the other party came to congratulate you and showed goodwill, so you still have to give him face.

But now, everyone’s main goal is to deal with the Golden Eyed Elf Clan.

He didn't want to send troops to deal with the Golden-Eyed Elven Tribe as soon as he formed an alliance.

"As for the alliance, my Chutian Immortal City means that when we deal with the Golden Eye Spirit Clan, we can advance and retreat together."

"In addition, I will go to several other Earth-level Immortal Cities and persuade everyone to form a grand alliance to fight against the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan together!"

"As for the conditions, we can negotiate in detail."

Yan Xinya's temperament is like water, and she smiled elegantly.

Hearing this, Chen Ling couldn't help but show hesitation. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Friend Yan, dealing with the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan is of great importance. Can you please let me discuss it with my family and give you an answer later?"

Seeing Chen Ling's expression, Yan Xinya couldn't help but be stunned. In her opinion, Chen Ling actually dared to lead the monks of Xiyong City alone to Wanjian Immortal City to fight against the army of the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan.

He should be a very decisive person, but why is he so hesitant now?
This made her quite puzzled.

However, since Chen Ling said so, she naturally had no objection.

Then he said goodbye to Chen Ling and Qi Baoyi and left.

"Bao Yi, what do you think?"

Looking at Yan Xinya's departing figure, Chen Ling and Qi Baoyi asked.

"My dear husband, in my opinion, it is not appropriate for us to form an alliance with Chutian Immortal City and other Earth-level Immortal Cities now."

Qi Baoyi's eyes moved and he spoke frankly.

"Yeah." Chen Ling nodded and continued listening.

As the lord of Wanjian Immortal City, Qi Baoyi refined various spiritual swords and came into contact with monks from various immortal cities, which was much more than him.

He must understand the situation in all aspects more thoroughly than he does.

"The Golden Eyed Spirit Clan is now so powerful that the various human race immortal cities cannot stop the Golden Eyed Spirit Clan by relying on their own strength."

"But the human race's immortal cities have always fought on their own. It is difficult for them to unite unless it is a matter of life and death."

"And compared with other earth-level immortal cities or heaven-level immortal cities, our overall strength is relatively low."

"Once we form an alliance, we will be easily used as cannon fodder!"

Qi Baoyi explained it to Chen Ling in detail.

Chen Ling nodded. What Qi Baoyi said was exactly what he was thinking about.

Although the alliance between the human race's fairy cities can greatly enhance their strength, if they each have their own thoughts.

It would be better not to form an alliance.

Moreover, the strength of a heavenly fairy city like Chutian Fairy City is far superior to his own. Once an alliance is formed, he will have to obey them from now on.

This doesn't do me much good.

"In that case, then we will not form an alliance with Chutian Immortal City. But how do we mention this to Yan Xinya?"

Chen Ling said with a little hesitation.

Now that the Yan family has sent someone here, my direct refusal has obviously embarrassed the Yan family.

This is not what he wants to see.

So you have to think of your words.

"Husband, let me handle this matter, I don't think there will be any problem!"

Qi Baoyi thought about it, then said with a smile.

Seeing Qi Baoyi's confident expression, Chen Ling nodded.

Then he took out the Five Elements Immortal Gold and said, "Bao Yi, this is the Five Elements Immortal Gold I got by chance, and I plan to refine it into the Five Elements Immortal Sword!"

"Five Elements Immortal Gold!"

Looking at the Five Elements Immortal Gold in Chen Ling's hand, Qi Baoyi couldn't help but exclaimed slightly.
