Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 124 Harvest! Cui falls! Chen is full
……

Following Chen Xuanmo's vision of the future.

The Chen family's ancestor worship ceremony also came to an end.

Soon, Chen Ningtai and Chen Xuanmo moved to Moxiang Pavilion.

Inside Moxiang Pavilion.

The lights were bright, and the Xuan Mo Lingjian was suspended above the study, listening to the report patiently.

"Father, not long after the Cui family's support for the war, a lot of things happened after you fell into a deep sleep." Chen Ningtai reported respectfully.

"After the Cui clan made some minor repairs, Brother Xiuming and several of the Cui clan's foundation-building elders came to Qingyu Cliff in person to express their sincere apologies and gratitude to our clan."

"They brought a lot of apology gifts, with a total value of more than 20,000 spirit stones, but I declined them on the grounds that the Cui family had just suffered a great disaster and was in urgent need of spirit stones and other resources."

"So, Brother Xiuming proposed several ideas. The first is to give up interfering in our clan's [Jade Slave Business] and sell all the nephrite mines that we had previously hoarded to our Chen family at 80% off the pre-speculation market price. I calculated that we only need to pay 30,000 spirit stones to obtain a large amount of nephrite mines, and we will no longer be short of nephrite raw materials in a short period of time, so I agreed to this deal."

"Secondly, the Cui family has lost their ancestor and suffered heavy casualties, so they are unable to maintain their previous family business. They have a high-quality store in Jinwu Market, and they want to sell it to us at a preferential price of 50,000 spirit stones."

"I learned about the shop. It has a good location and a good size. The Shangguan family of Qinghe and the Yuwen family of Hebei also wanted the shop. They even offered a higher price to the Cui family. After considering it, I agreed to the deal."

Chen Xuanmo nodded secretly after hearing this.

Cui Xiuming is indeed a relatively competent head of the family.

At least, Chen's risk of saving them was not in vain. They knew how to be grateful, and they also knew that the Shangguan family and the Yuwen family were two fierce tigers. Instead of letting them get away with it, it would be better to use Cui's assets to make friends with Chen, so that they could become reliable allies.

Jinwu Market is located in Jinwu Mountain in Zhongzhou County. It is the largest and most high-end market in the territory of the Great Wu Kingdom, without a doubt!

Chen's water-repellent beads, Qianqian's small Sumeru formation, etc., were all purchased directly or indirectly from the Jinwu Market.

You must know that Zhongzhou County is not a remote newly opened county like Hedong County. There are five upper Jindan clans in the county, including a powerful clan with three Jindan in one family. The three major sects, Yunyang Sect, Wanhua Palace, and Wuhen Mountain, cannot monopolize the rich Zhongzhou County, and can only compete with each other in Zhongzhou County to maintain a balance.

As for the [Jinwu Market], on the surface it was jointly opened by the [Zhongzhou Liu Family] and several other Jindan elite clans, but the three major sects all had a considerable share in it.

Therefore, the shops in such markets are naturally valuable, and in many cases they cannot be bought with money. Even if you do not open a shop yourself, renting it out can bring in a considerable income.

Fifty thousand spirit stones is Cui’s price of gratitude.

And now the Chen family is barely qualified to occupy that shop. The relationship with Zhongli Ye has eased, and they have the face of Master Xuanyang and the favor owed to Fairy Baihua. Also, the rebellious son Chen Ningtai seems to get along well with Master Taiyue.

Such connections are enough for the Chen family to gain a foothold in Jinwufang City.

"However, because of this, the 3,000 explosive crossbow arrows we exchanged from the sect for about 150,000 spirit stones have been reduced by 80,000!" Chen Ningtai felt very distressed. "At first, I wanted to quote the cost price of 60 spirit stones per arrow, but Taiyue cut it down and agreed to reimburse 50 spirit stones per arrow."

Even so, Chen made enough money from that wave of reimbursements.

According to internal calculations and statistics, a total of 719 explosive crossbow arrows were consumed in the Cui family's support battle, and the cost price of their own production was only 30 spirits per arrow!
All together it's about 20,000 spirit stones.

The Chen family managed to get an extra wave of nearly 130,000 spirit stones from the sect.

As for other reimbursement items, they vary greatly.

After all, the sect is also responsible for the maintenance of the Xuanmo, and the damage to the Five Elements Formation is just that, it just burned some spirit stones, and the damage of other clan members cannot be exaggerated too much.

The bottom line is that there are too few members of the Chen clan. If there were hundreds of family members participating in the war, and each person falsely reported an extra hundred spirit stones, they could get back tens of thousands more spirit stones.

Subsequently.

Chen Ningtai hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to say, "Father, I have another request."

"Buzz." Chen Xuanmo replied unhappily.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could it be that this rebellious son was captured by Master Taiyue?

Although Chen Xuanmo was strongly opposed to the rebellious son remarrying, he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma when he thought that if Master Taiyue also came to worship him, he might get more purple energy than the rebellious son Zhongli Ye.

"It's like this. I think Cui's Golden Light Tower is good. It can not only help the gold cultivators practice, but also help boost their fighting power in the battle to defend their clan." After getting his father's promise, Chen Ningtai said, "So, I found an opportunity to discuss it with Master Taiyue and asked for a quote."

"The master said that the Golden Light Tower must be built on a top-grade spiritual vein of the Gold Element. However, if there is a mid-grade spiritual vein of the Gold Element, a basic version of the Golden Light Tower can be built. She made a construction plan for a basic Golden Light Tower, which requires about 20 merits and 60,000 contribution points. In the future, if our family has a top-grade spiritual vein of the Gold Element, we can spend more merits to complete the Golden Light Tower."

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Xuanmo nodded secretly.

This rebellious son's idea coincides with his own. Even the basic version of the Golden Light Tower is sufficient for a cultivator in the Gold Element Foundation Establishment Stage. It can greatly speed up the cultivation of the rebellious son, and with the cooperation of the purple energy, he will have a better chance of being promoted to the Golden Core Stage.

The chances of those with four spiritual roots advancing to the Golden Core stage are indeed very small, but even those with four spiritual roots in the Blood Soul Sect have the opportunity to achieve the Golden Core stage. How could Chen Xuanmo, a dignified ancestor of destiny, be inferior to those devilish tricks of the Blood Soul Sect?
However, a mid-grade spiritual vein of the gold element might not be easy to obtain, right?

As expected, Chen Ningtai continued, "The Cui family's Tianjian Peak has many mid-grade spirit veins, including two mid-grade gold spirit veins. I have also asked Cui family about their opinion, but Cui family said they are only willing to sell one mid-grade wood spirit vein and one mid-grade earth spirit vein. They can give our family a friendly price of 70,000 spirit stones per vein, and we have to find someone to extract and transplant them ourselves, but they have no intention of selling the mid-grade gold spirit vein."

"hehe."

Chen Xuanmo laughed secretly.

This was most likely not Cui Xiuming's idea, but the intention of the surviving foundation-building elders of the Cui family.

The Cui family's foundation-building elders were used to being overlords, and even though they had realized the seriousness of the matter, they hadn't adjusted their mindset yet.

Now, there are only seven foundation-building cultivators left in the Cui family. The family also owns a top-grade gold-level spiritual vein, and the golden elixir seeds are dead. Even the inheritance has been lost, but they are still holding on to two mid-grade gold-level ones. It is really unwise.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the Chen family doesn’t need the middle-grade spiritual veins of the wood and earth elements. It’s just that compared to the middle-grade spiritual veins of the gold element, the priority of other middle-grade spiritual veins is lower.

As for Cui's top-grade gold, it was not something Chen was qualified to get his hands on. Not to mention that Chen couldn't afford it at all, even if he could afford it, he might not be able to keep it.

"Buzz!"

Chen Xuanmo gave his idea by using vibration and engraving.

The matter of purchasing the spiritual vein needs to continue to be negotiated with Cui family and the relationship between the two parties needs to be maintained, but there is no rush to purchase Cui family's spiritual vein.

Without the deterrent power of the Jindan stage expert, Cui's huge assets are like a huge cake, very tempting.

Currently, the [Hedong County Post-War Cleanup Command] is still established in the Cui family. With the prestige of the sect and gratitude to the Cui family's ancestor for dying together with the enemy, some families that covet the Cui family's heritage resources dare not go too far.

Once the temporary command center is withdrawn, all kinds of pressure will inevitably come to Cui family. The overt and covert means will gradually intensify, eroding Cui family's foundation bit by bit!
Only when Cui truly feels the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation and the pressure of being enemies all over the world will he truly gain enlightenment.

As for the Chen family, they only need to maintain the relationship by relying on the favor of being the only one to rescue the Cui family. When the Cui family can no longer hold on, they will naturally prioritize forming an alliance with the Chen family.

"I understand, kid." Chen Ningtai said, "However, Cui is willing to sell us some low-grade spirit veins at the moment, and the price they offer us is not expensive. Those low-grade spirit veins that are not resource points only cost 3000 spirit stones each."

"I plan to buy five low-grade spirit veins and transplant them to our Dingfeng Farm."

"In this way, together with the cost of the transplant from Taiyue Peak that we asked the sect to spend, the total cost will be about 25,000 spirit stones, which will be enough to upgrade the spirit vein level of Dingfeng Farm, forming a spirit vein environment where the five elements coexist, and open up dozens of acres of high-quality spirit fields. At the same time, we can also install an additional small five-element formation to develop Dingfeng Farm into a separate courtyard."

"According to my estimation, after deducting sect taxes and various costs, the annual net profit of the upgraded Dingfeng Farm can reach 500 spirit stones."

Net profit of five hundred spirit stones.

In the present, Chen's family seems insignificant. After all, Chen's family made an extra 100,000 spirit stones by using a false project of exploding crossbow arrows. However, in fact, for a family cultivating immortals, the role of annual fixed income is more important than windfall.

The importance of the farming industry exceeds that of the production industry.

To give the simplest example, although Chen's jade slaves are selling very well now and the small thunder and fire bombs are also profitable, once other companies make a breakthrough in technology or successfully copy them, the profits of these two industries will drop sharply.

The same is true for the business in the market. Once the competition becomes fierce or other markets emerge, the current profits will drop sharply, and the market may go bankrupt one day.

But farming will not have such great ups and downs. Spiritual rice and spiritual medicine are both hard demands in the world of immortal cultivation. They are consumables, and their prices tend to be stable in the long term. The net profit is 500 spirit stones a year, which means 50,000 spirit stones in a hundred years.

The annual income is enough to support two ordinary foundation-building monks. If the family really declines one day, this farm with continuous production can also be an easy-to-sell high-quality fixed asset.

Even if we take a step back, as the Chen family's population gradually increases, the demand for magical rice and magical medicine will also increase. The internal consumption alone is a considerable expense. If the output of their own farm cannot keep up, won't they have to purchase from outside?

The cost would be much higher than producing and selling it yourself.

therefore.

Chen Xuanmo agreed to Chen Ningtai's proposal without hesitation.

After Dingfeng Farm completes its industrial upgrade, he can also start to add purple energy to Chen Xinsong's agriculture to see if he can cultivate higher-quality spiritual rice varieties and develop Chen's agricultural advantages.

As several of Chen Ningtai's suggestions were adopted by his old father, he felt proud and became more and more interested. He began to talk about the process of his battle of wits and courage with Master Jin Guang.

Besides reimbursement of those things.

Chen Ningtai also reported to his old father about the merits and achievements that the Chen family had gained in the [Cui Family Support War].

In this battle.

The merit points and spoils that Chen obtained mainly came in three aspects.

The first is to secretly defeat the Blood Soul Sect's monsters in the valley and rescue Cui's fire.

Because there was no Blood Deacon commander in the two Blood Soul Sect formations, the battle was counted as sixteen merits, and the rescue work was counted as two more merits. Also, because Master Taiyue was grateful for Chen's active cooperation and repeated reversals of the situation, he formulated a principle of distributing half of the merits with the Taiyue Peak family.

This was also because of Master Taiyue's generosity, who took special care of Chen. Otherwise, with Master Taiyue in the Jindan stage around, the bulk of the merit points would definitely fall on her, and Chen would never be able to get so much.

Therefore, Chen earned nine [Merits] and 27000 contribution points from this.

In addition to the merit points and contribution points, they also seized various materials, spirit stones, and treasures. After the actions, they obtained a total of 63000 spirit stones, and the Chen family received 31500 spirit stones.

The second was the battle in which seven medium-sized spirit boats were defeated.

The Merit Hall has set a standard of three [Merits] per ship, and seven spirit boats count as twenty-one [Merits].

Considering the great impact of the fire suppression provided by the medium-sized spirit boat on the battle situation, Master Taiyue helped apply for the credit of [Critical Battle to Turn the Tide] and added nine [Merit]. Chen got 45000 [Merit] in this wave, contribution points.

In addition to this, they also collected a large amount of wreckage, materials, personnel equipment and other spoils from the seven defeated medium-sized spirit boats, with an estimated value of 130000 spirit stones, of which Chen took 65000 spirit stones.

The third is the battle in which the Xuanmo lures away and contains Chi Mei.

The Merit Hall awarded Chi Mei thirty [Merits] and determined an additional ten [Merits] as a reward for winning the battle.

According to the principle of half for each family, Chen received 60000 [Merits] and contribution points.

In addition to the merit points and contribution points, a lot of good things were also looted from Chi Mei. The most valuable ones were naturally the [Soul-Captivating Bell], the [Blood Evil Flag], and half a gourd of high-quality blood evil power.

These were originally intended to be exchanged for merits, but Chen took a fancy to the Soul-Capture Bell and chose to keep it. As for the Blood Evil Flag, the half gourd of Blood Evil power, and the other supplies in the Chi Mei storage ring, they were all given to Master Taiyue to exchange for merits.

This Soul-Capturing Bell is a very special magic weapon for attacking the soul, which can have miraculous effects if used properly. After Chen got it, he roughly estimated that the value of this Soul-Capturing Bell might be more than 100,000. Whether he keeps it for his own use or sells it in the future, it can be of great use.

In the final summary, Chen obtained a total of forty-four [Merits], 132000 contribution points, 96500 low-grade spirit stones, and a soul-capturing bell in this battle to support Cui.

Undoubtedly, this is a huge amount of merit income, which is more than enough for Chen to build another set of Five Elements Formation. The spiritual stones and treasures obtained are also astronomical.

However, this wave of battle is extremely dangerous, much more dangerous than Chen's initiative to clear out the monks on the blacklist. It is tantamount to risking the life of the family.

If possible, Chen Xuanmo didn't want to participate in this level of battle at all. Wouldn't it be nice for the family to just steadily kill wild monsters every once in a while?

However, things in this world are unpredictable, and many things are not a matter of whether Chen Xuanmo wants or not.

If you want your family to have stronger risk resistance, the only way is to improve your own hard power.

In terms of hard power, nothing is more secure than having an additional Jindan-stage cultivator in the family.

Chen Xuanmo listened for a while about the current situation in Hedong County. For example, some of the fleeing Blood Soul Sect monsters had been killed, but 30% of the fleeing soldiers were still hiding and had not been found. Another example was that there was no news about the escaped Blood Mist yet.

If we rely on the purple energy to search, perhaps we can help Master Taiyue complete the task as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, when Chen Xuanmo woke up this time, he had less than four hundred strands of purple energy in his hands. He valued the lost golden elixir inheritance of the Cui family more. Therefore, this less than four hundred purple energy would be used first to locate the direction of Blood Thirty-Three. At least he had to keep an eye on the opponent first!
Still, I would try the purple mark first.

However, rotating the Dark Gold Spirit Sword was useless, the mark did not explode, and the final landing point was also a random pointer.

Chen Xuanmo, who had already anticipated this, began to escalate the situation.

soon.

A golden mark appeared on Chen Ningtai's forehead.

Fortunately, this time the golden mark did not break immediately. Chen Ningtai began to silently recite the locations of Blood Thirty-Three and Taiyi Gengjin Zhenjue in his mind, and rotated the Dark Gold Spirit Sword.

This time.

The Dark Gold Spirit Sword had just turned a few times when the golden mark on Chen Ningtai's forehead exploded, turning into golden starlight and dissipating among the five elements.

Chen Xuanmo's face lit up with joy.

This situation means that this golden mark has a high probability of fulfilling the opportunity that Chen Ningtai prayed for in his heart.

Finally, after the Dark Gold Spirit Sword stopped, the tip of the sword pointed slightly south of the East China Sea.

Chen Ningtai immediately drew a straight line on the nautical chart and took his old father on board the Xuanmo.

After more than half a year, the battle-damaged version of the Xuanmo has been repaired.

Due to the limited resources required by the sect, they could only repair the Xuanmo to its original state.

Fortunately, the senior brothers in the Equipment Refining Hall were quite helpful. They did their best during the repairs and slightly optimized the shortcomings of the last modification. Therefore, the performance of the Xuanmo is now even better than before the war.

The Xuanmo took off into the air and flew directly along the straight line on the nautical chart, heading towards the southeast of the East China Sea.

This time.

The Xuan Mo sailed at a leisurely speed of 1,500 miles per hour for a full eight hours, flying a distance of 12,000 miles before it stopped and flew another five hours and 10,000 miles towards the due south.

The Xuanmo then hovered above the vast ocean.

Afterwards, another golden mark appeared on Chen Ningtai's forehead. He continued to pray for the whereabouts of Blood Thirty-Three and Taiyi Gengjin Zhenjue. When the Dark Gold Spirit Sword began to rotate, the mark on his forehead burst.

This search method.

Chen Xuanmo called it the [Cross-Direction Double Divination Algorithm], which was a divination algorithm that was explored step by step.

By intersecting the straight lines of the two divinations, the true direction and approximate location of the sought opportunity can be inferred.

Of course, if the direction indicated is too far away and the intersection angle of the two straight lines is too small, you can perform a third divination to the side of that direction to find out the relatively correct position.

This time, considering that Blood Thirty-Three had escaped a year ago and might have fled into the vast ocean, they deliberately flew a little farther before locating him, for fear that the angle would be too small to make it difficult to locate him.

Unexpectedly, the direction pointed by the Dark Gold Spirit Sword this time was towards the continental shelf of the Wu Kingdom, rather than beyond the vast ocean.

This made Chen Xuanmo feel a little strange.

After taking the inheritance and boarding the treasure boat, shouldn't Xue Sanshisan run as far away as possible? Why is he still staying nearby?

At this time, Chen Ningtai had drawn another straight line on the sea chart based on the divination direction. The intersection of the straight line with the previous line was only about two thousand miles away from Linhaiwei in Donghai County.

Good guy!
Chen Xuanmo exclaimed, "What a great guy."

What the hell is that guy Blood Thirty-Three doing? Is he doing what they call hiding under the lamp?

Isn't this wrong?
No matter what, Chen Xuanmo and Chen Ningtai decided to search at the intersection of the straight lines first.

Time passed little by little.

On an uninhabited desert island two or three thousand miles away from Donghai County.

Blood Thirty-Three, with a scruffy beard, stood on a reef, staring at the sea with dull eyes and expressionless face.

He had been standing like this for a long time without even moving.

Suddenly, he mechanically threw out a wooden spear tied with a rope. The spear pierced deeply into the water. The next moment, a creature in the water began to tumble.

Blood Thirty-Three pulled back the wooden spear, and with the help of the barbs, the spear firmly hooked a first-level spirit fish weighing two or three hundred kilograms.

Blood Sanshisan flew back to the deserted island with the spirit fish, and quickly processed the spirit fish with an expressionless face, grilled the spirit fish, and ate the spirit fish.

He did these things with such skill that it was like muscle memory, without even having to think.

This damn life has lasted for more than half a year.

For more than half a year, he didn't even see a single ocean-going ship passing by.

This forced him to stay on this deserted island, relying on very limited supplies to survive.

If he were given a girl, he would be able to reproduce!
This spiritual fish has just been eaten halfway.

Suddenly, a spiritual boat appeared in the sky.

The spirit boat was flying from the southeast, speeding at a not-too-fast speed, as if it was about to pass over the edge of the deserted island.

Xue Sanshisan's eyes lit up and he immediately dropped the grilled fish and began to observe carefully.

As the spirit boat got closer, he discovered that it was a medium-sized spirit boat. The normal cruising speed of this kind of spirit boat would be within a thousand miles, which was much faster than he, a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, could fly.

This type of medium-sized spirit boat is often used as a transport boat by some chambers of commerce, wealthy foundation-building families, or golden elixir families.

As for whether there is a Jindan ancestor in it?

That's a joke.

When the Jindan ancestors travel, they usually drive treasure boats or use magic weapons to fly.

He felt that with his cultivation level of the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, coupled with the high-quality spiritual weapons he had plundered, it would be quite possible for him to disguise himself as a group of people in distress and catch them by surprise.

Judging from the direction this spirit boat came from, it is very likely that it came from overseas.

As long as he could seize this medium-sized spirit boat, he could let it fly along with his treasure boat and then head straight overseas.

Think about this.

Blood Thirty-Three immediately disguised himself, and after that, he set off a firework towards the sky to ask for help.

This was also found in Cui's Golden Elixir storage bag and is a regular type of distress fireworks.

The fireworks shot straight into the sky, exploding into a huge flower.

Undoubtedly, this firework attracted the attention of the medium-sized spirit boat. It quickly turned around and dived directly towards the island.

Blood Thirty-Three observed his image as a victim, hmm, ragged clothes and untidy beard, and was quite satisfied with it.

Then he waved his hands in the air and shouted, "I'm here."

"Yes, I'm here, save me~~~"

A hint of sinister and vicious excitement flashed across Blood Thirty-Three's eyes.
