Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 215: The family's resources have increased dramatically! The family has equipped itself with a medium-sized armed treasure ship

……

soon.

The sacrifice to Chen Ningtai was declared over, and all his descendants dispersed, and the family worshippers also went about their business as if they were familiar with it.

Some core members of the Chen family gathered in Moxiang Pavilion for a meeting as per convention.

This time, I don’t have to take the blame.

Chen Jingyun was again responsible for reporting on the family's development.

Compared with Chen Ningtai, Jing Yun's reports are always much more concise and do not contain a lot of redundant data.

"Grandpa, this year is the once-in-a-decade big market in Sheshan. While the market is crowded and lively, we can implement our plan to promote the spiritual rice varieties. I have made the following arrangements..."

Chen Xuanmo is indeed very concerned about the promotion of spiritual rice seeds, and has invested a huge amount of purple energy resources in spiritual seeds in the past decade.

But what he was more concerned about was the medium-sized armed treasure boat that his rebellious son Chen Ningtai had spent all his merits to customize five years ago. It was originally agreed that the sect's weapon refining hall would be responsible for its construction, and the construction period would be five years!

"Buzz~!"

Chen Xuanmo interrupted Chen Jingyun and asked directly, where is his treasure boat?
Uh……

Chen Jingyun looked at Chen Ningtai helplessly, and then said solemnly: "Grandfather, when Master Xuanyang and Shiyun came here this time, they had already brought their treasure boat here, and it is now moored at the newly built berth at Qingyu Cliff."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xuan Mo Ling Sword flew out with a "swoosh" and pounced on the Qingyu Cliff as fast as a phantom.

The core tribesmen looked at each other.

However, after living together for many years, they have long been accustomed to the style of their ancestors.

The ancestor was better when he was alive. In order to maintain his dignity and majesty in front of the younger generations, he was relatively restrained. But after he died and turned into a heroic spirit, he became unruly and did whatever he wanted.

Everyone followed closely and arrived at Qingyu Cliff together, only to find that Xuanmo Lingjian had already taken control of the control panel and the entire treasure ship was slowly floating up.

They all hurriedly boarded the treasure boat and entered the cab.

This treasure ship is about twenty feet long and seven feet wide. The bow and stern are square and raised high into the sky. From a distance, it looks a bit like a gold ingot.

On the deck, there are rows of beautiful buildings.

There are thirty-six cloud-piercing crossbows installed on each side of the deck. If they are fired together, they can unleash extremely intensive firepower in a very short period of time.

At the bow of the ship stands a huge red-gold metal dragon head with prominent horns and a wide-open mouth. It looks majestic and awe-inspiring. It is the famous [Dragon Head Fiery Sun Cannon].

From a distance, the entire treasure ship has a tough style and a majestic aura, and all the weapons are shining with a cold luster, making it look like a mobile armed fortress.

Compared with this treasure ship, Chen Xuanmo's former vehicle, the Xuanmo, was just like a simple sampan.

The speed of the treasure boat is much faster than that of the spirit boat.

Under Chen Xuanmo's control, this medium-sized armed treasure ship quickly reached the gale layer.

Under the impact of fierce gale, it remains as steady as a rock, as if it can easily shuttle through the gale layer without even turning on the shield.

However, Chen Xuanmo still tested its shield structure and activated the mobile version of the Five Elements Formation worth sixty merits.

As five formation flags fluttered around the ship, five beams of light of various colors shot straight into the sky. After they gathered into a beam, they stirred up a translucent spherical energy shield, covering the entire medium-sized armed treasure ship.

All of a sudden.

It was quiet.

The endless stream of strong winds were all blocked outside and rushed along the translucent crystal wall. The ship, which had been shaking slightly, was now completely motionless.

The overall protective strength of this mobile version of the Five Elements Array shield is comparable to that of the Five Elements Array in the Chen family's main house. However, the energy shield provided by that set in the main house is relatively thin because it is used to protect the entire house, while this set only needs to protect the treasure boat of more than 20 feet!
Its defensive power is so terrifying that even a cultivator in the late Jindan stage would be wishful thinking to break it in a short period of time.

But this mobile version of the Five Elements Formation is not without its shortcomings.

Due to the lack of energy support provided by spiritual veins, its energy consumption depends entirely on spiritual stones. Once it is turned on, the spiritual stones are burning rapidly every minute and every second.

In one hour, ten thousand spirit stones can be easily burned. If one is bombarded by someone, this number will soar.

And it is very obvious that with the formation ability of the Yunyang Sect, it is impossible to refine this kind of mobile version of the Five Elements Formation Flag, and most of them will have to go to the Tianyuan Continent to buy it.

This is just the consumption of the Five Elements Formation. This medium-sized armed treasure ship also consumes a lot of spirit stones when it is in operation. Even if it flies at cruising speed, the spirit stone consumption per hour is about twenty times that of a medium-sized spirit ship.

Once the rampage acceleration mode is activated, spirit stones will become as worthless as coal.

If we add in the consumption of the Dragon Head Fiery Sun Cannon...

Thinking of this, even Chen Xuanmo, who was in the state of a heroic spirit, couldn't help but shudder.

This thing is simply a furnace that swallows spirit stones.

It's no wonder. This thing is not something that ordinary families can afford. Let alone the Foundation Establishment Family, even the ordinary Golden Core Family can't afford it. Even a strong sect like the Yunyang Sect only has one experimental version, and they are usually reluctant to drive it. Even if they drive it out, they just use the cruise mode to show off their power, and they are reluctant to even activate the shield.

But burning spirit stones is just burning spirit stones.

This strategic-level equipment has a deterrent power, combat effectiveness, and strong mobility that are more than worth the spirit stones it burns every minute and every second.

Especially for the Chen family at this stage, such deterrence and combat effectiveness are extremely important. With it, ordinary Jindan families are no longer a threat at all. Even if several Blood Soul Envoys come together to attack the Chen family, they may not be able to gain the upper hand.

Moreover, with it, Chen will be able to explore deeper into the Southern Wilderness. Even if he encounters a powerful fifth-order beast, it will be hard to say who is the hunter and who is the prey. At that time, the chance of finding high-quality spiritual veins will be greatly increased.

For a moment, Chen Xuanmo's heart was full of anticipation.

****
Just as Chen Xuanmo was test driving the new Xuanmo.

Dingfeng Farm is not far from Qingyu Cliff.

A green light fell from the sky and landed at the entrance of the farm.

A young man gracefully descended from the green light with one hand behind his back. With a pinch of his fingers, the green light turned into a jade-green spiritual leaf, which nimbly flew into the storage bag on his waist.

The whole set of postures is as smooth as flowing water, indescribably elegant.

This young man has regular facial features, a slender figure, and a handsome and sunny temperament. In the eyes of ordinary people, he can definitely be described as a "handsome young man in this corrupt world."

As soon as he landed, two farmhands with good martial arts skills came up to greet him and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Third Young Master."

The young man's name is Chen Xiuwang. He is the third child of the "Xiu" generation of the Chen family, ranking only after the eldest child Chen Xiuyang and the second child Chen Xiuxu of the "Xiu" generation. He is just 25 years old this year, and his cultivation has entered the middle of the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

However, unlike Chen Xiuyang and Chen Xiuxu who were born into noble families, Chen Xiuwang was a descendant of Chen Jingfei, the second son of the "Jing" generation.

When Chen Jingfei was found to have no spiritual root qualifications, he was assigned to Dingfeng Farm to manage farm affairs. After years of hard work, he finally exchanged a purple jade token for his son based on his own achievements.

Under the blessing of the ancestors, Chen Jingfei's daughter-in-law successfully gave birth to a grandson named Chen Xiuwang who had five spiritual roots, which continued the spiritual roots of his lineage and allowed his bloodline to return to the family tree.

After smiling gently at the two farmhands, Chen Xiuwang walked straight into the farm.

Unlike when Chen Jingyun and Wang Qianqian first drove the birds away from the farm, the farm is now more than ten times larger. With the transplantation of large and small spiritual veins, more than a thousand acres of spiritual fields have been opened up, which is the foundation of Chen's grain production. As soon as he came back from the sacrifice, he couldn't wait to rush to the northeast corner of the farm. There are hundreds of acres of spiritual fields in that area, which he is responsible for taking care of.

This hundred-acre spiritual field is no ordinary spiritual field. The grain planted therein is Chen’s White Jade No. 6, which is undergoing a large-scale field experiment.

In order to live up to his uncle Chen Xinsong's respect, Chen Xiuwang built a hut in front of the spiritual field and guarded it day and night, fearing that something might go wrong with the field during his absence. If the ancestor worship ceremony was not the top priority of the Chen family, he would not have left.

After a while, he arrived at the spiritual field.

Immediately, a team of farm guards came forward and greeted Chen Xiuwang: "Greetings, Third Young Master."

"Has there been any unusual behavior in the spiritual fields in the past two days?" Chen Xiuwang asked with a serious expression as he scanned the spiritual fields.

"There is nothing unusual." The farmhand replied, "However, as our spiritual rice is filling up faster, those annoying spiritual rats and insects are gradually increasing. Our subordinates are incompetent and have tried their best to drive them away, but it is still difficult to control the rat and insect infestation."

This is not a special abnormality. Whenever the spiritual rice is ripe, it will definitely attract endless snakes, insects, rats and ants, it's just a matter of quantity. This is the same principle as when the spiritual medicine matures, it will attract fierce beasts to covet it.

As for the means of dealing with it, apart from spraying some insect repellent medicine, the only option is for cultivators to use magic to resist.

Chen Xiuwang spread his divine consciousness, covering the spiritual field in front of him.

In an instant, the originally quiet spiritual field changed in his perception. There were many snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling around, and the rustling sounds filled his perception.

He frowned and raised his hand, and a green vine poked out from his sleeve.

It turned out that there was a slender green vine wrapped around his arm. It was obvious that this vine was the pet he cultivated.

"go with!"

He made a gesture of magic and the green vine immediately shot out like a snake.

It swelled up in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a vine about two meters long and as thick as an arm, which rushed into the spiritual field like a gust of wind.

"Squeak!"

Suddenly, the sharp cries of spirit rats were heard in the spirit field.

Several fat rats seemed to have encountered their natural enemies. They screamed and rushed out from their hiding places, fleeing madly to the distance, or directly drilled into the nearby caves and rushed deep into the caves.

But before the escaping rat ran far, the scream turned into a scream, and then even the scream stopped abruptly.

The field of rice swayed a few times, and then returned to calm.

Then, the vine quickly moved across the field again, drilling into one rat hole after another. When it was pulled out again, the head of the vine had already entangled a fat and clever rat.

After being injected with the anesthetic barbs, the fat rat had already fainted and could only allow the vine to open its flower-like mouthparts and swallow it in one gulp.

In just a few moments, more than a dozen spirit rats were killed one by one by the vines. The process was swift, bloody and terrifying.

As the vine devoured one spirit rat after another, its originally emerald green vine gradually turned scarlet, and the smell it emitted also became bloody, and a fierce aura was overwhelming.

Although the farmhands were used to this kind of scene, they still turned pale unconsciously and kept swallowing their saliva.

The bloodthirsty vine raised by the Third Young Master was truly terrifying. Although they were all masters proficient in martial arts, they were definitely not much stronger than those spirit rats and snakes in front of this bloodthirsty vine, and were equally unable to fight back.

At this time.

Chen Xiu looked up at the sky and it seemed that there were some locusts circling around.

He asked the farmhand to take out some straw dolls made of magical herbs from the thatched hut and performed some magic spells on them one by one.

Rays of green light hit the straw men, and they seemed to come alive all of a sudden.

They twisted their bodies and staggered into the spiritual field, then stuck most of their bodies out of the spiritual field, dancing back and forth with the wind, making rustling noises, as if they were driving away the locusts.

Occasionally, a few of the ignorant locusts seemed unwilling to accept the provocation of the straw man, and swooped down with flapping wings. However, when they got within a certain range of the straw man, they were entangled by the straw man's soft hands and body, and then dragged into the spiritual field.

After a struggle and some sharp chirping, everything returned to calm again.

After working for most of the day, Chen Xiuwang enlightened hundreds of spirit grass people and distributed them in the spirit fields. At this time, the bloodthirsty spirit vines had already killed hundreds of spirit rats.

It can’t eat it. It simply can’t eat that much.

But it was very smart and gave the captured rat to Chen Xiuwang for safekeeping, preparing to slowly eat the stock after it had digested the rat's flesh and blood.

By night, Chen Xiuwang was exhausted and could only rely on swallowing pills and spirit stones to keep going.

It was also at this time.

A mature man wearing a loose robe and with an ethereal temperament descended from the sky on a green light and landed beside Chen Xiuwang in a graceful posture.

This man looked somewhat similar to Chen Xiuwang, but his temperament was more gentle and reserved. His aura was also much stronger than Chen Xiuwang's, and he exuded a calm demeanor in his every move.

Glancing at the whole place, he smiled and said, "Xiu Wang, you are really diligent. You didn't stay in the main house for a while longer, but came back so early to protect the fields."

"However, the rat and bird infestation is endless, so don't overdraw your body."

Chen Xiuwang quickly stood up and saluted: "Xiuwang greets Third Uncle. Third Uncle, don't worry, I know what's going on."

The man he called "Third Uncle" was naturally Chen Xinsong, the current manager of Dingfeng Farm.

Chen Xinsong, who is now 49 years old, has already reached the middle of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. In a few years, he will enter the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. At that time, he will have to start preparing for the foundation-building stage.

Even though he does not hold a high position in the family's core meeting, he is a big shot in Dingfeng Farm and his words are law. Everyone in the farm must obey his orders.

Since there were no cultivators among the elders in Chen Xiuwang's lineage, under the arrangement of the patriarch Chen Ningtai, he had been practicing with his third uncle Chen Xinsong since he was a child. The two had a very close relationship, like master and disciple as well as father and son.

Chen Xinsong encouraged him again, then suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, Xiuwang, you are exactly 25 years old this year. You should be preparing to participate in the Three Clans Youth Conference this time, right? Do you have any expectations for your ranking?"

Chen Xiuwang opened his mouth and then shook his head. "Brother Xiuyan has four spiritual roots, and sister Wenjing has poisonous spiritual roots. Moreover, they are only one year younger than me. I am afraid it is difficult for me to be their opponent. In addition, I also heard that Zheng and Zhao have carefully trained young masters. If I want to get good results in the arena, I am afraid I may not even be able to enter the top five."

"That's not necessarily true." Chen Xinsong chuckled, took out a small fiery red sickle from his storage bag, and handed it to Chen Xiuwang with a smile, "This is a top-grade magic weapon - [Red Fire Scythe]. Wood creates fire, and you use the pure wood element spiritual power to stimulate it, which can be regarded as a unique move."

A sickle is not a conventional weapon and it is difficult to master it without a certain amount of practice, but for a spiritual plant master, using a sickle is a basic skill.

It was obvious that Chen Xinsong had put a lot of thought into this gift, and it was more suitable for Chen Xiuwang than a sword or something like that.

Chen Xiuwang's eyes widened in disbelief: "This, this, this is a top-grade magic weapon! Third, Third Uncle, this, this is unacceptable! You should prepare these for Xiuyan and Wenjing."

"Haha~" Chen Xinsong laughed heartily, "You have followed Uncle San for so many years, and you have worked hard. Uncle San is just rewarding you with a magic weapon. Why do you have to push it back and forth?"

"Besides, Xiuyan is practicing the Qi Refining Chapter of the Wu Tu Zhen Jue, and he has his mother's personal guidance, and he can occasionally get advice from Senior Taiyue, so how could he be lacking a top-grade magic weapon?"

"And Wen Jing, that girl, has entered the Qianqiu Valley of the Wanhua Palace. I don't know how many treasures she has obtained from the sect. Why would she need your uncle to make plans for her?"

"Xiu Wang, you must work hard and strive to stand out in this youth conference and bring honor to my uncle Jing Fei's lineage."

Chen Xiuwang's face flushed with excitement and he nodded heavily: "Yes, Third Uncle, I will definitely not let you down."
