Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 165: Rebellious Son! What kind of magic potion did you use on the fairy?

……

A few days after the two great-grandsons were promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It is the Chen family’s grand annual ceremony to worship their ancestors.

Chen Xuanmo, who had just been awakened, simply decided not to sleep. After all, it would be unpleasant to sleep again and wake up again in order to save those few strands of purple energy.

He strolled around the family for a few days, visited his great-grandchildren in advance, and teased and looked after his favorite baby, Chen Xinlei.

A few days flew by.

It was the 235th year of the Xuanmo calendar, and the th anniversary of Chen Xuanmo's death.

When the day of the sacrifice came, Chen Xuanmo lay back in the lucky beads and stared at Chen Ningtai with wide eyes as he recited the sacrificial text.

There is no need to elaborate on this sacrifice, because Jing Yun and Jing Peng joined the team of foundation-building cultivators, and the family's overall strength has been continuously growing. The amount of purple energy absorbed this time was as high as 990 strands!
This number made Chen Xuanmo happy, but also a little regretful. He was just a little bit away from absorbing more than a thousand purple qi.

Although there have been cases where the purple qi exceeded a thousand in a single time before, it was only due to the unstable factor of the rebellious son Zhongli Ye, which is different from the normal meaning of purple qi exceeding a thousand.

Fortunately, as the number of foundation-building cultivators in the clan increases, the increase in purple energy is also increasing year by year. Chen Xuanmo can predict that next year, which is the 336th year of the Xuanmo calendar, the purple energy will definitely exceed a thousand.

Restraining his slightly impetuous mood, Chen Xuanmo did some counting and found that the amount of purple energy stored in the lucky bead had reached 1653 strands.

The new sword intent developed through sword training is also rapidly accumulating strength. It is expected that in about another year, it will be able to reach the power of an ordinary [Talisman].

At the subsequent meeting in Moxiang Pavilion, Chen Xuanmo was absent-minded. After listening to the meeting in a drowsy state, he entered the next process.

****
There are two regular routes from Cangyi Chen family to Zhongzhou. One is through Donghai County, through Qibei County, and then diagonally across the western part of Luohe County to reach the vast eastern part of Zhongzhou.

Another route is to go through Hebei County and then through Yuzhou County to reach the northern part of Zhongzhou, and then sail from the interior of Zhongzhou to reach Jinwufang City in the Jinwu Mountains.

The two routes are about the same length, both about 20,000 miles. An ordinary medium-sized spirit boat can reach the destination in about three days of cruising. It is not far, but not close either.

A few days after Chen's sacrificial ceremony.

Above the clouds, a fleet consisting of three spirit boats passed through the relatively prosperous Yuzhou County and entered the Zhongzhou region, the richest and most developed region in the entire Great Wu Kingdom.

The entire Zhongzhou region is approximately the size of three ordinary counties, and is nominally under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family of the Great Wu Kingdom.

However, the royal family of the Great Wu Kingdom is now in decline, and there has not been a Nascent Soul cultivator for more than two thousand years.

Therefore, the current structure of the immortal cultivation world in the Great Wu Kingdom is headed by the three major sects. The three major sects lead and control the entire immortal cultivation world. Some small sects and immortal cultivation families are all dependent on the rule of the three major sects, and the influence of the Great Wu Kingdom can only extend in the mortal world.

Among these three spirit boats, the leading one is the pitch-black Xuan Mo, and the other two are the two medium-sized spirit boats that were picked up from Cui’s scrap yard last year.

These two medium-sized spirit boats were once Cui's armed transport boats. Although they have been used for some years, basic operation is not a problem. After some maintenance, repair and modification, they have now become Chen's Wuyun No. 3 and Wuyun No. 4.

The spirit boat was hoisted with the Chen family flag and the Chen family emblem was spray-painted on the hull. Currently, Chen Jingyun and Chen Jingpeng are the captains, each commanding one boat.

Chen traveled all the way to Jinwufang Market and didn't want to make a wasted trip, so he had carefully prepared the goods long ago and filled the cabin to the brim.

Some of these goods were traded from the North Star Sea, some were specialties brought back from the Southern Liang Kingdom, and some were produced from Chen's territory and surrounding areas.

Simultaneously.

The Xuanmo, currently commanded by Chen Ningtai, also carries many young members of the Chen family.

Some of them came to do business, some just came to take the boat to see the world. At this moment, they were all lying on the fence, happily overlooking the land of Middle-earth and chattering.

Chen Ningtai, who was standing on the bow not far away and looking out, saw this scene. His brows relaxed for a rare moment and he revealed a little smile.

It’s great to be young~
When he was the same age as these children, he was still following his father around, building the family bit by bit.

It was also at this time.

His ears suddenly moved, and he heard Cui Lingying's coquettish voice: "Husband, please help me, this is the last one, I promise this is the last one."

Chen Ningtai looked in the direction of the voice and saw Cui Lingying holding a black pill with her slender fingers and stuffing it into Chen Xinsong's mouth.

Chen Xinsong, however, had a look of despair on his face, and he just pursed his lips stubbornly, with a look of slight grievance in his eyes.

How many years have passed? How many years have passed? Ever since his wife started refining pills, he began to live a life of eating useless pills.

The family trained Cui Lingying to make pills, so naturally they could not invest endless spiritual medicine resources for her to squander. Instead, they would let her advance the family contribution to receive a set of alchemy materials, and then return the contribution based on the success rate of the pills she made.

This return rate is not fixed, and must be adjusted dynamically according to Cui Lingying's years of study and the number of times she refines the elixir. Therefore, when Cui Lingying refines the elixir, the family contribution sometimes makes money and sometimes loses money.

Sometimes, in order to earn more or lose less, she would feed some of the less wasteful pills to her husband, exchanging several wasteful pills for one finished pill to indirectly balance her own alchemy income and expenditure accounts.

"Husband!" Cui Lingying said coquettishly, "I was too impatient to refine the second-grade Yangyuan Pill before I left this time, and only two were successful and six were wasted. If you can eat one more wasted pill, I can barely break even with this batch. Husband, I beg you."

Faced with his wife's pleading, Chen Xinsong finally ate the useless pill with tears in his eyes, and then watched his wife take a finished Yangyuan Pill from him and put it happily into the public medicine gourd.

At this time, Chen Xinsong began to miss Linglong. She had been helping her master in Xihai County for the past few years and only came back once for each sacrifice.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ningtai's mouth twitched.

It was also fortunate that Xinsong was practicing the [Qingmu Changsheng Jue]. This wild wood-based method was unremarkable, but the spiritual power cultivated was rich in vitality and was unique in self-healing and detoxification. Even from this kind of waste pill, he could absorb some effective medicinal nutrients from it.

Of course, eating too many waste pills is definitely not good.

Immediately, Chen Ningtai coughed twice and reminded: "Ying'er, sometimes you shouldn't be too frugal..."

"Yes, Grandpa, I will be careful." Cui Lingying responded obediently, and then looked at the others with a clear gaze.

But everyone looked away, not daring to meet his gaze, and started talking to others.

In desperation, Cui Lingying came to Chen Ningtai and said in a cute and pitiful manner: "Grandpa, you see I still have three useless pills. I have to earn more contributions to the family. Wen Jing will go to Wanhua Palace in less than two years... I have to save more contributions for her."

Chen Ningtai's expression froze.

A moment later, he and Cui Lingying reached an outrageous deal of exchanging one third-grade Soul-Tempering Pill for three second-grade Yuan-Nourishing Pills.

Time passed by slowly.

Another half day passed.

The three medium-sized spirit boats finally arrived at Jinwufang City, located in the core area of ​​Jinwu Mountains.

The Jinwu Mountain Range is located near the imperial city, and its core is named [Jinwu Mountain].

Compared to the entire mountain range, Jinwu Mountain is not the highest nor the steepest, but it is the one with the most abundant spiritual energy.

Jinwufang City was built on the hillside of Jinwu Mountain, where spiritual veins converge. It covers a large area. Not only are the buildings magnificent and majestic, but it also has a set of [Small Zhoutian Star Array].

This is a very high-end defensive formation system. It is said that its defensive power is not inferior to the mountain protection formations of some sects. Even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage cannot break the formation in a short period of time.

Of course, it is not known whether Jinwufang City is just bragging.

It is said that since the opening of Jinwufang Market, it has experienced many changes over the past two thousand years, but there has never been a record of it being breached.

soon.

The Xuan Mo, Wu Yun No. 3 and No. 4 slowly stopped at the huge berth square of Jinwufang City.

A Foundation Establishment Stage manager from the market town came up immediately to register and collect spirit stones for berths and entrance.

The manager was very polite. After all, these were three mid-grade spirit boats. Only the Jindan families could have fleets of this size. Although the Hedong Chen family was only a foundation-building family, they could produce such a fleet, which showed that they had an extraordinary background. After the spirit stones were delivered.

Then a large group of people who looked like casual cultivators came over.

The leading cultivator looked to be in his seventies or eighties, and his cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage. He respectfully asked Chen Ningtai if he wanted help with loading and unloading the goods, saying that a shipload of goods only cost ten spirit stones.

But he didn't wait for Chen Ningtai to reply.

A beautiful woman in a green brocade dress landed beside Chen Ningtai, turned around and said angrily, "Go away, all of you, stay away! It costs ten spirit stones per ship to unload the cargo, and you are robbing us here."

The woman's dress was made of luxurious material and exquisitely embroidered. The hairpins and jewelry she wore were all delicate and precious, which made her look so noble and dignified that no one dared to underestimate her.

When the leader of the scattered cultivators saw her, his expression changed slightly. He lowered his head and laughed, saying, "It turns out to be Miss Qingyao. Let's get out of here right now. Let's get out of here right now."

Then, he took a group of wandering cultivators and hid aside.

This woman is naturally Lu Qingyao, the direct disciple of Qinglian Sword Pavilion of Wanhua Palace.

At the same time, she is also an elite member of the Lu family in Zhongzhou, and enjoys rental dividends from some shops in Jinwufang City.

Many of the independent cultivators who often hang out in the Jinwu Market for food have close ties with the market's managers, so they naturally recognize this Miss Lu and dare not provoke her.

Seeing those casual cultivators retreat, the woman in the long skirt finally looked at Chen Ningtai. Her eyes were dim and filled with resentment: "Brother Ningtai, I have invited you to visit my Lu family many times so that I can introduce you to my ancestors, but you have repeatedly made excuses for being busy and even didn't even reply to my messages. You are really heartless~"

"Ahem!" Chen Ningtai coughed twice in a hurry, "Miss Qingyao, didn't I inform you in advance when I came to Jinwufang City this time?"

"Miss? Senior Brother, you called me Junior Sister at that time!" The resentment in Lu Qingyao's eyes became even stronger.

Chen Ningtai felt his whole body numbing. He turned his head inadvertently and saw the younger generations of the family watching this scene as if they were watching a show.

His face immediately turned serious and he scolded, "Chen Jingpeng, Chen Jingyun, are you both bored? Why don't you take the children and rent a car to unload the goods? Stop pretending to be the boss here."

The two grandsons, Jingpeng and Jingyun, quickly shrank their heads and turned around to get busy.

Chen Jingpeng turned around and saw his grandson Chen Xiuyang, who was acting lazy, and his grandson Chen Xiuxu, who was a little silly, and he immediately scolded them, "What are you two looking at? Why don't you unload the goods quickly? Don't act like you are a young master who can't even lift anything with your hands or shoulders."

then.

A group of people all dispersed, some rented cars, some carried goods. They were all monks, some had a lot of strength, and they were very fast when unloading the goods.

Chen Ningtai was just about to ask Lu Qingyao to come aside and talk when a clear, bell-like laughter suddenly came from not far away.

"Junior Sister Qingyao, I was wondering why you suddenly became so happy after receiving the message and rushed all the way to Jinwufang Market. It turns out you came here to have sex behind my back~"

As the voice fell, a graceful figure of a woman also descended gracefully, waving her sleeves, and walked towards them slowly.

The woman was wearing a gorgeous lavender long dress embroidered with lotus flowers. She had a graceful figure and a gentle temperament, and her every move was full of graceful charm.

Lu Qingyao glared back, and when she saw it was her, her expression immediately became one of surprise and embarrassment: "Kou Qianjue, why are you here too? Are you following me!?"

"Hehe, this Jinwu Market is opened by your family. Why can you come but I can't?" A hint of amusement flashed across Kou Qianjue's gentle and pretty face.

"That's right, it's owned by my family." Lu Qingyao snorted, crossed her arms and mocked back, "Our Lu family has the most shares."

"..." Kou Qianjue was speechless, so he walked to Chen Ningtai and said with a smile, "I was invited by Senior Brother Ningtai."

Chen Ningtai felt a little unwell.

What is an invitation?

It was obvious that they each sent you a message to show their concern for your recent situation, and mentioned that they would come to Jinwu Market to do some work after the sacrifice... As a result, Chen Ningtai did not expect to run into Lu Qingyao and Kou Qianjue here.

And looking at their appearance, it seemed that they came to Jinwufang Market secretly without telling each other.

Helplessly, Chen Ningtai quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, has our Xin Tao been doing well in Wanhua Palace these years?"

Unexpectedly, these words came out.

The two girls' eyes became gloomy. Lu Qingyao sneered, "Senior Brother Ning Tai is still thinking about my Junior Sister Jianli."

"Brother Ningtai, it's my fault. I should have dragged Junior Sister Jianli along to the appointment."

Chen Ningtai felt a little numb all over.

Did he mention Si Jianli? He was just concerned about Xin Tao...

Fortunately at this time.

Su Yuanbai hurried to the berth square with some shop assistants.

Chen Ningtai was like seeing a savior. He quickly bowed and apologized to the two girls, saying, "Junior sisters Qian Jue and Qing Yao, I have to take care of some business first. I will catch up with you later."

Then, Chen Ningtai disappeared like a gust of wind, asked Su Yuanbai all sorts of questions, and helped with unloading and loading goods, looking like he was very busy.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuanmo sneered secretly.

Haha, this rebellious son will be in trouble if he really encounters trouble, right?

If you really plan to marry both of them, please come and ask your father for help. In order to get a lot of extra purple energy every year, your father may give you some advice.

To be honest, Chen Xuanmo was still quite envious of Qian Jue and Qing Yao's purple qi. They were quite powerful, and the purple qi they could provide was not comparable to that of cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.

The shop that Chen bought from Cui was in a good location and was generally considered upper-middle class.

The shops on the front street are more than ten feet wide, which is equivalent to half a street in Chen Xuanmo's previous life. Behind the three-story shop is a huge warehouse. Behind the warehouse, across an alley, is a courtyard complex covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, which is also part of the shop.

Even if twice as many people from the Chen family came, they could easily be accommodated here.

After Chen's group transported all the goods to the warehouse, it was already dark, so everyone went to their respective courtyards to rest.

Early the next morning.

Chen Jingyun had just finished practicing a set of sword techniques in the morning and had just sat down to eat a few bites of breakfast when Chen Xuanmo came over controlling the Xuanmo Spirit Sword.

Urged by the buzzing sound of the Xuan Mo Spirit Sword, he had to go out shopping.

But before they left the yard, Chen Xiuyang, Jiang Xiaoyu, Chen Xiuxu, Chen Wenxue and other children followed them.

A group of people went out to go shopping.

Chen Xuanmo's heroic spirit followed Chen Jingyun, carrying more than 1,600 strands of purple energy, and looked very high-spirited.

He deliberately saved up purple energy for an extra year just for today.

Today, he must buy a big treasure in Jinwufang Market.

But as soon as he went out, he saw Chen Ningtai sneaking out. As soon as he passed the intersection, he saw Kou Qianjue and Lu Qingyao, smiling like flowers, coming up to him from the left and right, and accompanying Chen Ningtai away.

During the period, the three of them were talking and laughing, looking very close and harmonious, with the tense atmosphere of yesterday's Shura Field completely gone.

This scene left Chen Xuanmo stunned.

How come the rebellious son turned the tables just overnight?

What kind of drug did this rebellious son use on the two fairies?
