Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 130: Rebellious Son! Let me show you how powerful your father is (please give me a monthly ticket!)

……

Chen Xuanmo felt the majestic purple energy, and a feeling of comfort arose spontaneously.

In a short while, the purple energy was completely absorbed.

He did some counting and found that the amount of purple energy he absorbed this year reached 815 strands. Adding the 131 strands left over from last year, the total amount of purple energy reached an astonishing 946 strands.

This is almost a thousand again~
As expected, Zhongli Ye had to come to participate in the sacrifice, which was the right way. The three or five hundred points of purple energy he had before really made him feel frustrated, and it was gone after he used it casually.

It seems that I have to push Chen Ningzhuo every year, hoping that he can create some miracle.

The sacrifice was finally completed.

During the small family meeting in Moxiang Pavilion, Chen Xuanmo couldn't help but ask Chen Ningzhuo out of curiosity, "How did you get Zhongli Ye here?"

"I'll tell Peak Master Zhongli that we have secretly found clues about the blood mist, and invite him to join a team to kill the blood mist and share some of the merit points." Chen Ningzhuo said with a little embarrassment.

"Blood mist clues?"

Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state, was also slightly delighted, and used the humming sound of the Xuanmo Spirit Sword to express his joy.

The two sons in the family are becoming more and more useful. After waking up from a nap, they found clues about the blood mist, and Zhong Liye was also brought here.

"Ahem, father, you misunderstood." Chen Ningzhuo coughed twice awkwardly, "The blood mist is hiding very deep, and our family hasn't found any clues about him yet."

"Uh..." Chen Xuanmo was stunned.

"Didn't you say that, father? No matter what, we must find a way to trick the leader of Zhongli Peak here." Chen Ningzhuo pulled the corner of his mouth slightly with a guilty look on his face. "My mission has been completed. Now it's up to you."

Good guy.

Chen Xuanmo exclaimed, "What a great guy."

You, the rebellious son, have become slippery now?
So you've learned to play the buck with your dad! ?

Chen Xuanmo wanted to slap him, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, Chen Ningzhuo did complete the mission, which allowed him to gain about 400 strands of purple energy. He couldn't have accomplished a great deed and then beat someone up, right?

"Ahem, we can discuss the blood mist later." Chen Ningtai helped the fourth child change the subject, "I still have a lot of things to report to father. Last year, our family divided into three groups and completed three waves of missions in total."

"First, there is the group led by Haier, Linglong, Qianqian, and Xuanmohao. Because they don't have enough manpower and Linglong hasn't been postpartum for a year, they organized some masters from the Gao, Zhao, Zheng, and Cui families to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Blood Soul Sect's evildoers."

"We went out to search and encircle them several times, and it took more than half a year. We consumed a total of 15 purple jade cards, and we found two blood stewards and twelve blood guards, and killed them all."

"For these achievements, the theoretical basic merit is 66000 [Merit] and contribution points."

"Due to the prior negotiations with Senior Taiyue and Senior Jinguang, we all agreed that it would be difficult to find the escaped Blood Soul Sect evildoers who have not yet been caught. In the end, they agreed to increase our merit reward by an additional 99000%. The final settlement is [Merits] and Contribution Points."

"In addition, after deducting the consumption of our spirit boat, the remaining amount of various equipment, materials, spirit stones, etc. is 48000 spirits."

"According to the distribution plan we have agreed upon in advance, our Chen family will receive ten [Merits] and 30000 Contribution Points."

"The reason why our family's allocation ratio is relatively low is that, firstly, we have fewer people this time, and secondly, I think that supporting more high-quality in-laws and allies will be more conducive to the future small group becoming stronger and increasing cohesion."

Chen Xuanmo nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

The rebellious son's behavior is correct. After all, unity is strength. As the saying goes, one tree cannot support a wall, and unity makes strength. Chen can continuously strengthen his prestige and influence by organizing activities again and again.

Only in this way can he gradually replace the Cui family and become the overlord of Hedong County. Moreover, he is not an overlord with just a title, but an overlord with strong organizational and mobilization capabilities.

This can be regarded as a little awakening brought to him by Cui's accident~

The Cui family was used to being high and mighty. They seemed very powerful and influential on weekdays, and they could call the shots in the county. However, when they encountered a crisis and sent out a group of distress talismans, no one came to help except the Chen family.

This is a lesson learned from the past and we must never repeat the same mistakes.

Moreover, fifteen purple jade tokens were directly exchanged for so many merits, which was considered a good achievement and alleviated the family's contribution value gap and spirit stone gap.

After reporting the action of clearing out the scattered blood deacons.

Chen Ningtai reported again: "Because the operation in Heyang County has been temporarily suspended, and the family is short of manpower, Brother Yuanbai has been arranged to join the Yuling and Leimen teams. They rely on the [Water Escape Spirit Boat], Water-Breaking Beads and other equipment to explore the seabed of the East China Sea. However, due to their lack of strength, they will not set foot in areas that are too far or too dangerous for the time being."

"It took a total of seven months. The East China Sea search team used a total of nine purple energy seals without using the life-saving gold seal and jade talisman. They discovered a small low-grade water spirit vein, a third-grade blood coral, a third-grade water spirit bead, and an ancient sunken ship. They also found some scattered materials and treasures in the shipwreck, with a total value of about one thousand spirit stones. In addition, there are many ordinary spirit fish, spirit beads, corals, etc., which are worth hundreds of spirit stones in total."

"That's all?"

Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state, frowned.

The East China Sea search team spent a whole year and consumed 9 purple jade tokens. Isn’t the result too limited?
The inferior spiritual veins seemed good, but it was difficult to draw and transplant the spiritual veins at the bottom of the sea, and the cost doubled, which was very low in terms of cost performance. And the rest of the things added up, only earned about 2,000 spiritual stones!

For Chen Xuanmo, who had recently become accustomed to seeing spirit stones in units of tens of thousands, this was really not enough.

I feel like this wave of purple jade cards was a bit of a loss.

Chen Ningtai, who knew his father's temper well, said calmly: "Father, the waters near the East China Sea are already familiar territory. An exploration team can earn two to three thousand spirit stones, which is actually a big profit. If an ordinary foundation-building family knew that there could be such a profit, wouldn't they go crazy and form an exploration team?"

This is true.

Chen Xuanmo had to admit that he was right.

The annual profits of all industries of those foundation-building families that are not financially well-off are far less than this. Moreover, these rare treasures picked up from plundering the land do not need to be paid as tribute to the sect. After deducting the expenses, the net profit is pure income.

What's more, Chen's original intention was to find a mid-grade spiritual vein. Although he didn't find it, it wasn't a loss to have this wave of income.

Let’s finish talking about the East China Sea Exploration Team.

Chen Ningtai talked about the Southern Wilderness Exploration Team again.

"The Southern Wasteland Exploration Team is led by Jing Yun, the Foundation Building Puppet, and Ning Zhuo, using the small treasure boat that has just been repaired as their vehicle. However, the Southern Wasteland is dangerous, and there is a possibility of encountering fifth-order ferocious beasts such as birds. The exploration team only dares to explore the edge area near the Hengduan Mountains.

"The exploration team's operation lasted for six months, and a total of eight purple jade tokens were consumed. The harvest included a small low-grade earth spirit vein, and a nest of [Rock Armored Pigs] that were killed when the spirit vein was discovered. The second-level Rock Armored Pigs were killed and their meat was taken on the spot. The remaining five young Rock Armored Pigs were brought back as trophies and raised in Dingfeng Farm."

"We also harvested seven first-grade spiritual medicines, three second-grade spiritual medicines, and a third-grade spiritual medicine that was five hundred years old in the Southern Wasteland, and killed several second-grade beasts."

"In addition, we also discovered a [Three Thousand Years Ironwood]. It is a third-grade spiritual wood in the material category. It can be used as the main pillar of the family's main buildings, and can also be used as a material for building spiritual boats. It is worth about three or four hundred spiritual stones."

"In addition, we have discovered a small black iron mine. If we slowly mine it, it will be worth two to three thousand spirit stones. However, mining is not easy in the conditions of the Southern Wilderness. It is difficult for ordinary warriors to survive without the protection of cultivators. It is not only dangerous, but also costly."

Chen Xuanmo was listening with great interest, but when it came to this point, Chen Ningtai simply stopped.

Buzz!
What about below?
Chen Ningtai was surprised and said, "The child has finished speaking. That's all."

"Ah?" Chen Xuanmo was shocked.

The Southern Wilderness pioneer team had Jingyun, the son of luck, and they spent eight purple jade tokens, but this was the only gain?
"It's not completely gone..." Chen Ningtai racked his brains and said, "There are also some miscellaneous small spiritual trees, immature spiritual medicines, etc., all with their locations marked. By the way, I suggest you keep the low-grade earth spirit vein. Maybe in ten or eight years, a family of monsters will occupy it again, and we can harvest a wave of monsters when we pass by."

"God damn, let's harvest it."

Chen Xuanmo was almost angry to death.

Are you using this spiritual vein as a refresh point for spiritual and meat resources?
He summarized the gains of the Southern Wilderness Pioneer Team on behalf of his son, and it was just two words: dismal!

Fortunately, Jingyun was sent out.

Hey~
It is said that the southern wilderness beyond the gates of hell is full of rare treasures. In the cultivation world, there are countless legends about independent cultivators going out for adventure and then becoming rich overnight.

But Chen Xuanmo only saw two words in his eyes - poverty!
He didn't even hunt down a third-level ferocious beast.

"Father, the main reason is that our pioneering team dare not go too far, and can only trace along the edge of the Hengduan Mountains." Chen Ningtai was also helpless. "These places have been plundered over and over again by countless independent cultivators and pioneering teams. It's good to have such a harvest, which is enough to make others envious."

Chen Xuanmo also sighed.

It is not easy to go out and hunt in the wild nowadays. Judging from the consumption and gain ratio of the Purple Qi Mark alone, it is most cost-effective to fight the monks on the blacklist and the monsters of the Blood Soul Sect.

However, resources like the monks on the black list and the monsters of the Blood Soul Sect are limited after all. One day, the Blood Soul Sect might completely withdraw from the State of Wu and disappear without a trace.

Sooner or later, all the wanted criminals on the blacklist will be consumed by Chen, or there may be some that even Chen will not be able to find.

This kind of scraping search may not bring good returns at a single time, but the accumulated returns in the long run are still considerable.

In fact, you might even hit upon a treasure one day, such as a mid-grade spiritual vein, a fifth- or sixth-grade spiritual medicine, or even a spiritual stone mine.

刮！
I will continue scraping next year and won’t stop until I can at least scrape out two medium-quality spirit veins.

While Chen Xuanmo was mumbling, Chen Ningzhuo finally couldn't help but said, "Brother, have you finished talking about these trivial matters? Let's get back to the point and find the clues about the blood mist. The peak master is still in the guest house waiting for my reply."

You must be kidding. He used the blood mist clue to trick Zhong Li Ye here. If he can't give an explanation, even if he is not beaten to death, he will be skinned alive.

"Now that things have come to this point." Chen Xuanmo pondered for a moment, then said, "It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the abundant purple energy this year to resolve the blood mist issue. Otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable to have such a monster hiding in Hedong County for a long time."

As Chen Xuanmo made up his mind, Chen Ningtai and Chen Ningzhuo also became serious all of a sudden.

****
More than twenty days later.

The county seat of Hedong County.

As the largest city in Hedong County, the county town has a mortal population of over three million.

The business here is well developed, and there are all kinds of entertainment industries. Therefore, many immortal cultivation families have set up villas here, so that their members can come here occasionally to relax and enjoy the life of the world.

Less than 500 miles away from the county town, there is a famous mountain shrouded in clouds and mist - called [Yixian Mountain].

It is said that there are immortals playing chess here. If mortals watch casually, they will be trapped in the chess formation and transformed into chess soldiers to fight each other.

The winner lives and the loser dies.

Therefore, over time, no mortal dared to set foot here.

Of course, these are all legends circulated among mortals.

Only those high-ranking immortal cultivators know that there is a fairy market hidden in the Yixian Mountain. It is the largest market in the immortal world of Hedong County - the Yixian Market.

Compared with it, the Sheshan Market jointly founded by the Chen, Zhao and Zheng clans was as inconspicuous as a shabby country shop at the beginning. Even now, after continuous development and growth, the scale of Sheshan Market is still far smaller than that of Yixian Market.

As everyone knows, the biggest owner behind the Yixian Market is the Cui family of Hedong, and several old-established foundation-building families have acquired 50% of the shares. They are wealthy and powerful, and have all kinds of goods.

On this day, Cui Hongming, the foundation-building elder of the younger generation of the Cui family, came to the market to do some things.

He escorted a batch of Cui's newly produced rare rice to the market, hoping to sell it at a good price and ease the economic pressure on Cui's family to rebuild their home after suffering a heavy loss.

As soon as he entered the market, he met an old acquaintance.

The Lu Hao sword of the Hedong Lu family.

Lu Haojian looks like an elegant middle-aged man, and his luxurious silk robe makes him look extraordinary.

Behind him, there were five or six tribesmen following.

"Brother Lu Dao."

Cui Hongming took the initiative to greet him.

The Hedong Lu family is an old foundation-building family that has existed for more than 600 years. The number of foundation-building cultivators in the family has always remained above nine, and sometimes there are more than ten.

In the early years, the Cangyi Chen family also tried to form an alliance with the Hedong Lu family, but was rejected by the other party. Then they could only choose to form an alliance with the Hedong Gao family, which was also an old-fashioned family but had become impoverished. They were also the maternal family of Chen Xinsong's mother Gao Peilian.

Seeing Cui Hongming, Lu Haojian immediately showed a warm smile on his face: "Brother Cui, how come you have time to come to Yixian Market today? Have you been transferred to our Yixian Market to serve as the head?"

"Brother Lu, please don't joke. I just want to send a batch of newly produced spiritual rice to the market." Cui Hongming smiled and then thanked him, "By the way, thank you Brother Lu for sending supplies to our Cui family several times in the past two years."

"Don't be polite. Those are all materials provided by the family. I am just responsible for the transportation." Lu Haojian also smiled and said, "Besides, the Cui family and my Lu family are the first pioneering families in Hedong County. We have been friends for hundreds of years. Now that your Cui family is in trouble, how can my Lu family sit idly by and watch?"

"By the way, I heard that this year, your Cui and Chen families joined forces to wipe out a lot of the scattered evildoers of the Blood Soul Sect?"

When talking about this, Cui Hongming became excited: "Isn't it! However, this is not a joint effort, but an invitation from the Chen family. They are responsible for investigation, search and other operations, and the two foundation building elders from our family who participated only need to take action."

"It's amazing to say that Chen's family is really good at tracking people down. In less than a year, they managed to catch several groups of Blood Soul Sect evildoers who were hiding very deep, and killed two Blood Deacons and more than a dozen Blood Guards!"

Lu Haojian was amazed when he heard this: "Everyone says that the Cangyi Chen family is very powerful now. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that Chen Ningtai is indeed very powerful, much more glorious than his father Chen Xuanmo was back then."

"That's true. I heard that the Ningtai family head has already achieved a small level of success in the Golden Element. When he reaches the late stage of foundation building, won't he be invincible during that period?" Cui Hongming obviously admired Chen Ningtai very much, and his words were full of praise.

After the two chatted for a few more words, they said goodbye to each other.

Cui Hongming and some young tribesmen escorted the spiritual rice into the market town.

Soon, the Lu family disappeared from their sight, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Several younger generations following Cui Hongming couldn't help but start muttering, with dissatisfaction in their tone.

"What do you mean hundreds of years of friendship? When my Cui family was in trouble, I didn't see the Lu family come to help."

"Shut up!" Cui Hongming scolded in a low voice, "My Cui family has just survived a great disaster. Now we are facing internal and external troubles. We can't be as arrogant as before."

"Grandpa Hongming, I'm just talking in private." The young man muttered, "The Lu family looks so righteous on the surface, but they're taking advantage of us. They say they want to redistribute the benefits of the market."

Afterwards, several other juniors also started talking at once, and there seemed to be a lot of dissatisfaction in their words.

Naturally, they couldn't help but talk about the gossip about Lu Haojian.

Although they are young, they know a lot. Especially this Lu Haojian, who has a special identity, there are many gossips about him circulating privately.

For example, he was the illegitimate son of the previous head of the family, and he just returned to his ancestral home a hundred years ago.

After listening to a few sentences, Cui Hongming couldn't bear it anymore, so he cast a spell to cover all the young people and seal their mouths.

……

And at the same time.

Lu Haojian and his group also arrived outside Yixian Mountain.

Behind him was an old man in the Qi Refining Stage. He spoke in a low voice with a gloomy face: "It's the Chen family again! Sir, the Chen family is just a small foundation-building family. They have been jumping around for so many years and have gained too many benefits. If it weren't for that battle..."

"Shut up." Lu Haojian's face darkened. "If you can't remember your name again, I will refine you directly."

"Yes, Uncle Hao Jian." The old man saluted fearfully, and the others were also silent.

Lu Haojian glanced at them and said calmly, "Don't worry, I have been hiding my identity for a hundred years. There is no flaw in my background or experience. That bitch Taiyue will never be able to find us."

"We will lie dormant for now. When the situation changes and the Yunyang Sect relaxes its control over Hedong County, we will immediately kill the Chen family and take the opportunity to massacre half of Hedong County. This will accumulate enough blood merits for you guys and avenge our previous humiliation."

Those people all looked happy and were about to speak.

At this time.

Another small spirit boat flew over from the sky and landed outside Yixian Mountain.

A tall, dignified middle-aged man came down from the spirit boat, followed by several young and lively people.

"Huh? Chen Ningtai?" A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Hao's sword-like eyes.

If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

A hint of murderous intent flashed through his mind, but he suppressed it in an instant.

Now the overall situation is more important, so we have to continue to hide.

"Isn't this Brother Haojian?" When Chen Ningtai saw Lu Haojian, he immediately smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

"Greetings, Brother Ningtai." Lu Haojian returned the greeting gracefully, with a smile on his face that was as warm as spring breeze. "Brother, you are a rare guest. Why did you come to Yixian Market today?"

"I heard that the Cui family has some high-quality magic tools and spiritual tools to be auctioned in Yixianfang City. I brought a few young people from the family here to broaden their horizons." Chen Ningtai said casually, and then his face became slightly serious. "I happened to meet Brother Hao Jian, and I was just about to discuss with you about the issue of shares in Yixianfang City..."

Lu Haojian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Why, Brother Ning Tai is also interested in Cui's shares in Yixianfang City?"

"Haha, the Cui family is no longer as powerful as before, how can they still monopolize 50%?" Chen Ningtai laughed twice, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Hao Jian, please spare me a moment to talk."

Lu Haojian nodded slightly reservedly: "Alright, I want to see what bargaining chips your Chen Group can offer."

He asked the tribesmen who followed him to wait for him there.

Chen Ningtai also asked the younger generations of the family to wait for him in Yixianfang City, while he led Lu Haojian into the air and flew away.

After flying two or three hundred miles, when Lu Haojian was getting a little impatient, Chen Ningtai pressed the escape light and landed in a beautiful valley.

Lu Haojian followed, his tone slightly dissatisfied: "Brother Ning Tai, what kind of secrets do you want to discuss? Why did you run so far?"

"Haha, nothing else, I just want to ask Brother Hao Jian, Chi Mei and Shi Gu are dead, don't you want to go and accompany them?" Chen Ningtai said with a smile.

Before he could finish his words, his figure had already transformed into a ray of glazed golden light and swooped out, flying backwards, leaving behind a series of long golden afterimages.

"what?"

Lu Haojian's face changed suddenly.

Almost instantly, the magic power in his body surged, and he immediately used the escape technique to chase Chen Ningtai.

It is obvious that this is an attempt to silence someone.

However, in the blink of an eye.

In the sky, five thick five-element light pillars descended from the sky.

They occupied five directions respectively, and the dazzling light enveloped the valley.

A huge translucent shield also rose up at the same time, covering the entire area upside down like a giant sea bowl.

"Inverted Five Elements Formation?"

Lu Haojian's face instantly became extremely ugly.

The five elements formation in the family is used to defend against enemies, while this inverted five elements formation is used to trap enemies.

Moreover, the large formation in front of them was obviously a mobile and portable inverted five elements formation, which was an extremely rare treasure formation!

Lu Haojian didn't dare to delay any longer and frantically urged his magic power. Threads of blood mist immediately spread out from his body, emitting a salty and bloody smell.

Spreading along with it was the majestic power of a powerful Jindan stage expert.

It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of the inverted five elements formation while it was still unstable and rush out to escape.

"Blood Mist, you still want to run?!"

In the sky, a figure fell from the sky.

She was dressed simply and elegantly, holding a magic hammer in her hand, looking very majestic. She was none other than the famous Master Taiyue.

And at the same time.

In the other two directions, two figures also fell from the sky.

One of them was a middle-aged man in black clothes, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing. His aura was like a blazing fire or the sun in the sky, so domineering that it seemed as if he could burn everything in the world.

With his appearance, the temperature of the air around him seemed to rise a lot and became scorching hot.

The other one is an old man with a white beard, dressed in green, with an elegant temperament. A strong wood element aura surrounds him, making him look fresh and full of vitality.

Before the people landed, the plants in the valley began to grow wildly.

Jie Jie Jie!

Beside the fiery figure, there was a fire sword hovering. The sword was vibrating and humming, as if it was emitting a series of strange trembling laughs.

Chiyang!

Immortality!

Lu Haojian, no, blood mist's face was already extremely ugly.

Chen Ningtai, you bastard, how on earth did you know my identity? !
