Chapter 149: Fairy Yulian vs Fairy Taiyue
……

"Buzz~"

The Xuan Mo Spirit Sword trembled slightly. Just as he was about to ask something, Chen Ningtai explained directly: "Father, according to the inside information I got, the investigators from Wanhua Palace and Wuhen Mountain secretly investigated and found various clues. They finally determined that the Dugu family of Donghai was indeed deeply connected with the Blood Soul Sect. Many family members were hidden and secretly practiced the Blood Demonic Art!"

"The fact that the Dugu family was able to get the news in advance shows that something is indeed wrong with the top management of Wuhen Mountain. Ziyin and Master Hongfu will not let this go easily. They will definitely try to investigate it later. However, this matter involves too many high-level people, and I don't know the specific situation."

Inside information, inside information again.

Chen Xuanmo was completely speechless.

It was obvious that this rebellious son got the information from the people on Taiyue Mountain, but he kept saying it was inside information and seemed quite cautious.

I don’t know how the relationship between this unfilial son and my great-grandfather’s daughter-in-law is developing?
I wonder when she will come to pay tribute to my old father?
With an income of several hundred points of purple energy, Chen Xuanmo couldn't help but be anxious.

However, this rebellious son was right about one thing. The Chen family would rather know less about the game between the sect's high-level leaders. The Chen family is still too weak now. Once involved in the struggle between high-level monks, they will be crushed into slag if they are unlucky.

Now Chen Xuanmo just hopes that the sect leaders can give more strength to eliminate the infiltrating and lurking Blood Soul Sect evildoers as soon as possible, and restore a healthy, stable and bright world to the world.

After saying this.

Chen Ningtai reported on the gains from last year's rescue mission: "Father, I have made a list of the spoils obtained from the Blood Prison Battle. You can take a look at it when you have time."

"After calculating the value of the spoils and discussing with our teammates, our Chen family was finally allocated the two medium-sized spirit boats, and the rest of the spoils were no longer involved."

Assigned two medium-sized spirit boats?

Chen Xuanmo felt quite satisfied. The two medium-sized spirit boats of the Blood Soul Sect were not seriously damaged. If he exchanged them for new medium-sized spirit boats of similar level from the sect, he would get ten [Merits] and 30000 contribution points for each one.

Moreover, Chen himself has now mastered the maintenance technology of medium-sized spirit boats, which can greatly reduce expenses in daily maintenance, battle damage repairs, etc.

Of course, these two medium-sized spirit boats have not been modified much, and their performance can only be considered average. Not to mention compared with the extensively modified Xuanmo spirit boat, they are even inferior to the Qinglian Sword Boat.

But even so, these two medium-sized spirit boats can still greatly enhance the Chen family's foundation.

You know, many ordinary foundation-building families use small spirit boats. Even for the more powerful foundation-building families, having a medium-sized spirit boat is considered a treasure of the clan.

"Father, I think that these two medium-sized spirit boats can be equipped with more cloud-piercing crossbows. Together with the explosive crossbow arrows produced by our Chen family, they can have a good firepower output." Chen Ningtai continued, "The hull compartments can also be slightly modified and converted into [Armed Transport Spirit Boats]. In this way, we can increase trade with overseas archipelagos, transport some precious goods, and expand our trade circle, activity circle, and influence."

There was one thing Chen Ningtai did not mention. Having two more armed transport spirit boats could allow the tribe members to escape at critical moments, and could carry more personnel and supplies during emergency relocation.

He heard that when the Dugu clan of the East China Sea fled overseas overnight, some people had witnessed with their own eyes that the Dugu clan dispatched six medium-sized spirit boats and two small treasure boats!
As for the small spirit boats, they can only travel around inland and offshore areas, and are not capable of cross-ocean voyages. Not only are they slow, have low carrying capacity, and weak endurance, they are also unable to withstand the increasingly violent gales in the deep sea.

"Ah~"

Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state, sighed softly.

I have to admit that this rebellious son is becoming more and more mature. He handles family affairs in an orderly manner and has clear plans and arrangements for the future.

But in this way, he, the old father, would not have anything to do most of the time. If this continued, wouldn't Chen Xuanmo gradually become a ruthless purple energy supply machine?

Although Chen Ningtai could not see his father, the heroic spirit, he could sense the sudden dullness of the atmosphere, and immediately said, "By the way, father, these two medium-sized armed transport spirit boats have not been named yet. Please give them names, father."

Hearing this, Chen Xuanmo regained some energy. After a brief thought, he quickly wrote on the desk: "Wu Yun No. 1, Wu Yun No. 2."

Chen Ningtai's eyelids twitched and his expression became a little stiff.

But the next moment, he showed a look of admiration: "Father is wise, the name of this spiritual boat is concise and can also be used for inheritance and expansion. What a good name, wonderful~"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I, Chen Ningtai, have to shoulder the heavy burden of the family, take into account the many hungry children in the clan, and take into account the joys and sorrows of my old father Yingling, and coax him from time to time."

Alas, I, Chen Ningtai, have a hard time~
While sighing, Chen Ningtai also sorted out his thoughts and said quickly: "As for the deployment of Wuyun No. 1 and No. 2, I think Daoling and Daoyuan can each organize people, and form two crew teams with clan members, collateral branches, and family generals and clan soldiers. First, sail and trade in the nearby waters such as the Dongchao Islands and the Chenghai Islands. After getting familiar with them, we can gradually expand the routes outward."

This statement came out.

Chen Daoling and Chen Daoyuan, who had been standing not far behind Chen Ningtai and dared not speak, both showed longing looks.

They are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage who have achieved the Five Spiritual Roots. They have gained over a hundred years of extra lifespan, but due to their spiritual root qualifications, they can only cultivate to the third or fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage in this lifetime. It becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate further, which is a waste of resources.

Now we have the opportunity to sail on the sea, and even have the opportunity to travel to various overseas countries to broaden our horizons. What else can we be dissatisfied with at this point in life?
How could Chen Xuanmo object to this reasonable proposal?

He immediately gave a "buzz" to show his agreement.

Now that the family's comprehensive foundation is becoming increasingly profound, it is imperative to continue to expand its horizons and even extend its tentacles to overseas countries.

In the Great Wu Kingdom, any Jindan family must have certain overseas connections, and even have their own influence overseas. Otherwise, why would the Dugu family escape so easily?

Moreover, some remote archipelagos in the East China Sea also produce some rare specialties that can be purchased, processed, and sold in Sheshan Market or Jinwu Market to make a profit.

Fighting against cults and earning merits can certainly make you rich in a short period of time, but the development and growth of a family cannot rely solely on fighting. All aspects must be strengthened in order to be stable and long-lasting.

After completing the deployment of the two spirit boats.

Chen Ningtai continued to talk about some data: "Our initiative to rescue the disciples of Wanhua Palace was judged by the [Merit Hall] as a triggered sect mission, and we completed it very well, earning a lot of face for the sect, and can calculate an additional 60000 [Merits], Merits. But Master Jin Guang said that the Merits and Contributions calculated for this action already include the reimbursement of material consumption."

Haha~~
Chen Xuanmo couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that the old thief Jin Guang is afraid of Chen's reimbursement model. He knows that this is simply a bottomless pit.

However, being able to receive so many extra merits and contribution points as rewards all at once was already a pleasant surprise.

When Chen set out to rescue Si Jianli and the others, he had not expected that this could be counted as a sect mission.

"In addition, we teamed up with the sect and the Wanhua Palace disciples to kill the Blood Prison Group. The total merits allocated to us are 90000 [Merits] and contribution points. Master Jin Guang gave us a little more to make it a round number."

"Combining the two, we have gained a total of 15 [Merits] and Contribution Points this time."

Round up?

Chen Xuanmo laughed again.

The old thief Jin Guang usually tries to save as much as he can when settling contribution points, but he was so easy to talk to this time, so he must have thought it through.

as predicted.

Chen Ningtai also laughed: "According to the inside information I got, because we didn't bring Senior Jin Guang to fight the Welfare Bureau this time, he was very angry at first, but not long after, he sent disciples from the Merit Hall to contact me, saying that he wanted to discuss the settlement of the sect's contribution for this battle."

“So I think if I have another chance to play this kind of welfare game, I will have to help Senior Jin Guang.”

"Buzz."

Chen Xuanmo commanded the Xuanmo Spirit Sword and trembled in agreement.

Since Jin Guang has taken the initiative to show goodwill and indicated his willingness to get closer, it is natural to give him a positive response so as not to discourage his sincere heart.

The merits gained this time were not low, and it made up for the lack of merits caused by Chen's previous large-scale family construction.

With so many achievements, we need to think carefully about how to strengthen the family foundation.

But before Chen Xuanmo could figure out what was going on.

Chen Ningtai then revealed a mysterious smile: "Father, I have something good to show you."

"Uh……"

Chen Xuanmo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, under the leadership of his rebellious son, Chen Xuanmo came to the youth version of the Thick Earth Tower.

Then, Chen Xuanmo saw a burly and strong earth puppet giant.

It curled up on the first floor of the Thick Earth Tower. Every muscle in its body, even its head, was made of brown-yellow rock. Its pair of eyes, as big as footballs, were made entirely of obsidian and were staring at Chen Ningtai with shining eyes.

Even though it was curled up in a very depressed state with its aura completely restrained, Chen Xuanmo could still feel its power and terror.

Even when he was at his strongest in his lifetime, with his cultivation level as high as the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Stage and the combat power bonus brought by the Fire Element True Meaning, when he encountered this Earth Element monster, he could only turn around and run away. He had no chance of defeating it.

"Father, this is an earth puppet with combat power comparable to that of a ninth-level Foundation Establishment Stage puppet. Although it is not very intelligent and is very stupid, it is sturdy and has amazing combat power whether it is used for attacking or defending."

Chen Ningtai's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Especially when fighting on the ground, as long as its legs step on the ground or rocks, it can continuously draw energy from the earth. If it can step on the fire spirit vein, the fire will help the earth, and its strength will be further enhanced."

"Its terrifying defensive power can hold out for a while even against the attacks of Jindan cultivators, and can serve as an excellent meat shield! If combined with the Five Elements Formation and the Five Elements Tower, it will no longer be afraid of the strong attacks of Jindan cultivators!"

"I've thought of another way to use it, which is airdrop."

"Throwing it at an area where the enemy is densely packed will definitely disrupt the enemy's formation and create an excellent opportunity for our attack."

The more Chen Ningtai spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had already seen this Earth Puppet, which was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, fighting all over the place, and he began to dance with joy.

"So?" Chen Xuanmo said with a trembling voice, "How much is this thing?"

“Not expensive!”

Chen Ningtai's excitement had not yet faded. He raised his hand and held up four fingers: "Forty [Merits], 12 Contribution Points."

"..." Chen Xuanmo was silent for a while.

"Father, this is the treasure of the Merit Hall. It is not on the regular exchange list. If I didn't have an inside source and Master Jin Guang was willing to give me face, ordinary families would not be able to exchange it even if they have this merit." "This puppet can be kept in the Thick Earth Tower when it is not active. Even when it is fighting, it only needs to be fed with Earth Spirit Stones, and it doesn't need to be low-grade spirit stones."

The corner of Chen Xuanmo's mouth twitched violently when he was in the heroic spirit state.

Inside information again?

If he didn't know Master Taiyue well, he would have thought that this unfilial son had fallen into a beauty trap and was helping Taiyue Peak to digest its unsaleable products.

The Earth Puppet with the combat power of the peak of foundation building is good, but forty merits, a full forty merits, were squandered by this rebellious son in one go!
Seeing his father was silent, Chen Ningtai immediately began to explain: "In fact, I was also considering exchanging for more puppets in the early stage of foundation building. After all, it only takes four [Merits] to exchange for one, and it can be distributed to various places to increase the foundation."

"But firstly, we have to consider that the number of foundation-building cultivators in the family has increased, but the high-end combat power is relatively scarce. We can't just use the golden talisman to threaten the golden elixir at will."

"Secondly, I am considering that Qianqian is developing a foundation-building puppet. Once successful, our family will be able to refine a foundation-building puppet on their own, which will cause a waste of this exchange. It would be relatively cost-effective to directly increase the peak foundation-building combat power. Even if Qianqian is so powerful, it is impossible for her to develop a peak foundation-building puppet in a short period of time."

That being said.

Chen Xuanmo could actually understand the rebellious son's decision-making logic, but the speed at which this rebellious son spent money was too fast.

After finally accumulating a lot of merit, can't he let his father have a little fun?
The rich second generation like Ni Zi indeed has different ideas from him, the first generation entrepreneur.

Chen Xuanmo sighed helplessly. At least his rebellious son had left him ten [Merits] this time, so he could think about it...

But Chen Xuanmo didn't have time to think.

Chen Ningtai began to report proudly again: "The price of foundation building pills on the market has been getting more and more expensive recently. The price of foundation building pills auctioned with pure spirit stones in Jinwufang City has exceeded 7,500 spirit stones. Considering that there will be more and more people building foundations among the children of the family in the future, it is about to affect the exchange ratio of the sect, so I simply exchanged five pills at once and saved them."

"Alas, I originally wanted to exchange more, but the Merit Hall refused, thinking that our family was reselling foundation-building pills and was suspected of stealing from the sect."

Uh……

Chen Xuanmo fell silent again.

You said that this rebellious son was exchanged at a wrong time, that's true, even if I just resell it and auction it, I can still make some money, in this situation, if I can exchange it, I will make some money.

But after he exchanged it like this, he only had five [Merits] left. Chen Xuanmo had to think carefully about what else needed merits at home...

The little merit I have must be used to the best advantage...

However, before Chen Xuanmo could think it through.

Chen Ningtai added: "According to your previous plan, our family will train its own [Alchemist]. For this purpose, I exchanged the first chapter of [Alchemy Scripture] in the sect. It not only contains the in-depth and easy-to-understand principles of alchemy, but also contains many first- and second-grade elixir recipes. It only requires one [Merit] and 3000 contribution points, which is very cheap."

"At the same time, I organized a selection of alchemists within the family and found that Wanqing from the Xinyuan family and Lingying from the Xinsong family are both good candidates. Lingying is more meticulous and her wood-based skills can better refine spiritual medicines. After all, the alchemists in Changsheng Valley also use wood-based skills. But Wanqing is born with the ability to control fire, so it is easier for her to control the temperature."

"After comprehensive consideration, I still chose Lingying as the first training target. Therefore, I spent one [Merit], 3000 contribution points, to enroll Lingying in the sect's alchemist training class, which has a ten-year course."

As Chen Ningtai kept chattering, Chen Xuanmo finally understood. It turned out that in this wave of harvest, his unfilial son had left him three [Merits] for his free use.

Well, well, you are such a rebellious son who really cares about the old man. You are afraid that your father has a lot of merits and will be defrauded, right?

Chen Xuanmo was very angry, but he endured it again and again and finally resisted the urge to beat his son.

Hum~!

Today, the Xuan Mo Ling Sword was promoted to a top-grade grade, which is a happy event.

It is not appropriate to beat your son today.

Let him go for now.

However, just as he had this thought, Chen Ningtai continued, "I have considered the remaining three merits for a long time, but now that the family's alchemist training program has been launched, it is inevitable that the family will build a set of alchemy furnaces."

"I have been browsing the sect's exchange list for a long time, and I happened to find a set of alchemy furnaces that only require three [Merits]. I installed it in the family's Red Fire Tower and can use it to make alchemy at any time. The quality of this set of equipment is pretty good, and it can be used to refine most first- and second-grade elixirs."

"Father, you once said that our level doesn't have to be high enough, our foundation doesn't have to be strong enough, but our equipment must be good."

? ? ? ! ! !
Empty!?
All fifty merit points are gone?

"Haha~"

Chen Xuanmo was so angry that he laughed, and commanded the Xuanmo Spirit Sword to attack Chen Ningtai.

Prodigal son!

I have tolerated you, an unfilial son, for a long time~!

It was not easy for me, your father, to go through life and death to accumulate some merits, but in the end, I didn't even get a single drop of merit, and it was all squandered by you, my rebellious son!
"Dad, listen to my explanation." The righteous and righteous Chen Ningtai was frightened and immediately ran away in the Moxiang Pavilion, but he was still hit by the hilt of the sword. "I am just following your spiritual guidance~"

As a result, Chen Xuanmo beat him even harder.

Seeing this, the fourth son Chen Ningzhuo looked at his nose and his heart, as if he didn't see it at all.

The eldest brother once said that being beaten and scolded by his father was a treatment only for the eldest son, and it was full of his father's earnest expectations.

Chen Daoling, who is also the eldest son of Chen Ningtai, has already begun to tremble.

After his father was beaten by his grandfather, he would definitely find fault with him, the eldest son, and take the opportunity to beat him up.

I'm afraid I can't avoid this beating.

But at this moment, Chen Daoling couldn't help but think of his eldest son, Chen Jingpeng. It seemed that the rebellious son had not been beaten for a long time.

****
at the same time.

Tianjian Peak in Hedong County.

[Hedong County post-war cleanup command center].

Fairy Yulian, wearing a long green gauze dress and with a graceful and elegant temperament, was drinking tea opposite Master Taiyue.

Fairy Yulian looked at Master Taiyue with her beautiful eyes, and said sincerely and gratefully, "Sister Taiyue, thank you for your help and life-saving grace to my three disciples."

After cooperating with the sect to complete the nationwide investigation, Fairy Yulian quickly set off and traveled seventy or eighty thousand miles to Tianjian Peak to personally express her gratitude to Master Taiyue.

"Don't..." The Taiyue Master, who was wearing a loose plain robe without any decoration, raised his hand to stop the Fairy Yulian, "I am a little younger than you, so I am not worthy of your calling me 'sister'."

Fairy Yulian was slightly startled, but then she smiled softly and said, "Then I will call you Junior Sister Taiyue. I remember when I fought together with Junior Sister before, she didn't have such a formality."

"By the way, Junior Sister, you have a more elegant fragrance. Hmm, your skin is more radiant than before. You are... starting to take care of your skin. This is a good thing. Come on, let me introduce you to some skin care products."

"Sister, I've told you before that we women are made of water. You can't treat yourself as clay just because you practice earth-based exercises. You must never slack off on your daily maintenance and care."

"This [Ice Skin Pearl] is my thank you gift to you. Use it to moisturize your skin every day, and I guarantee that your skin will become even smoother..."

Master Taiyue listened to Fairy Yulian's bombardment for half an hour, and finally couldn't help but say to drive her away: "Master Yulian, the main credit for Jianli and the others' rescue was not mine. If you want to thank someone, the one you should thank the most is Chen. I still have a lot of work to do..."

"Ms. Chen, of course I have to go and thank you in person. However, you must accept this gourd of cold cream and apply it on your face, neck, hands, and feet every day... In short, don't miss any inch of your skin..."

Another half an hour later.

Fairy Yu Lian flew out backwards from the command center.

After flying more than a hundred feet away, a green lotus sword light suddenly appeared under her feet.

She flipped her body, stepped lightly with her lotus feet, and stepped firmly on the sword light. Her light blue skirt fluttered in the wind, making her look even more ethereal.

"Master, are you okay?"

The three disciples Si Jianli, Kou Qianjue and Lu Qingyao were originally waiting outside the command center. Upon seeing this, they immediately flew up and rushed to her side, speaking with concern.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Your master is so beautiful that it’s inevitable that other sisters and junior sisters will envy her.” Fairy Yulian smiled gently, her smile was like a lotus emerging from the water, pure and graceful, otherworldly.

Uh……

Si Jianli and the other three disciples were speechless for a moment.

Although Master has had this kind of personality for a long time, it is still difficult to adapt to it~
“By the way, I heard that you two fell in love with the same old man?” Fairy Yulian looked at Kou Qianjue and Lu Qingyao.

"Master, we..."

Kou Qianjue and Lu Qingyao suddenly became a little frightened.

"If you like him, then you like him. It means that the old man has a charm that is worth liking." Fairy Yulian didn't take it seriously, still with a light smile on her face, "It's just that you two were suppressed by my upright Junior Sister Taiyue, which is a bit embarrassing for our Qinglian Sword Pavilion."

"Master, I'm sorry." Kou Qianjue and Lu Qingyao were both helpless.

The three sisters had originally planned to recuperate at Chen's, but after just a few days, they were invited by Master Taiyue to recuperate at Tianjian Peak, where he occasionally gave them guidance in the name of guiding the younger generation. Their lives over the past year have been miserable.

"Don't worry, this time your master will stand up for you, so Junior Sister Taiyue won't be able to use force to suppress you." Fairy Yulian said, "Let's go visit the Chen family. Your master will teach you how to make a man fall in love with you wholeheartedly."
