Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 45 The family's future is promising
Afterwards, in order to thank Chen Ningzhuo for saving his life, the young man from the Li family invited him back to the Li family residence in Danyang.

After hearing that Chen Ningzhuo had failed in building his foundation and his Qi Palace was damaged, the young man went to ask the family ancestor for help.

The Dan King Patriarch could not bear the pestering, and was also worried that if Li owed him a favor, he might have to pay a higher price to repay it later, so he reluctantly took action and combined the cockscomb grass with some auxiliary materials to refine a furnace of fourth-grade elixir [Yuquan Dan].

He was lucky enough to make three pills. He didn't keep any of them and gave them all to Chen Ningzhuo.

From beginning to end, Chen Ningzhuo didn't even see Senior [Dan King].

Moreover, after he got the elixir, the Li clan members treated him more distant and coldly, apparently wanting to repay their favor and not wanting to have any more disputes.

"This year, I took the [Yuquan Pill] three times, and the sequelae of the failed foundation-building breakthrough have completely disappeared."

Chen Ningzhuo said the last sentence excitedly.

"Okay." Chen Xuanmo was also encouraged when he heard the result.

A few years ago, Chen Ningzhuo failed to break through the foundation and his Qi Palace was severely damaged. This was also a concern for Chen Xuanmo.

It's not that he hadn't thought about getting elixirs such as the [Yuquan Pill] that can treat sequelae, but Chen Xuanmo had already consumed too many favors and spirit stone stocks for Chen Ningzhuo's foundation-building pill.

As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, there is no need to mention it, it is a fifth-grade elixir controlled by various sects.

Moreover, Chen Xuanmo was almost dead at that time, so his influence was naturally not as great as it was in his heyday.

Therefore, Chen Xuanmo was no longer able to help Chen Ningzhuo speed up his healing and rebuild his foundation.

But things are different now.

Chen Xuanmo has it hanging on him.

You know, Yuquan Pill is a fourth-grade elixir. Not only are the raw materials difficult to obtain, but it is also very difficult to refine. Usually, only the Jindan masters who are involved in alchemy can refine it.

Not only does the price often fluctuate between four hundred and six hundred spirit stones, but it is also very difficult to obtain.

When Chen Xuanmo gave out the five strands of purple energy, he actually wasn't very confident. Unexpectedly, he actually solved Ning Zhuo's injury problem. It was really a burst of luck, equivalent to drawing a purple card.

After reporting Chen Ningzhuo's affairs.

Chen Ningtai happily reported to his father: "Father, our family's industry, the small thunder and fire bombs, have already started selling."

"However, an accident happened. The Saidujiu who sold the Golden Sword to Jingyun has been pestering Jingyun for the past two years, saying that Jingyun's vision is far more ruthless than his, and he insisted on recognizing Jingyun as his big brother."

"One time, Jing Yun accidentally got a glimpse of the production of the small thunder and fire bombs. I originally wanted to lock him up for a few years to prevent him from leaking our secrets, but Sai Dujiu wanted to take the initiative to take charge of the export of the small thunder and fire bombs. He swore to heaven that he would never betray 'Big Brother Jing Yun'."

"Considering that this person often travels to various counties and markets and has many connections among vendors, I inquired about his past reputation and found that although he is good at cheating people at gambling stalls, he will never refuse to pay if someone really wins something."

"After some thought, I decided to let him try. Just in case, I asked Old Lady Yang from Spiritual Medicine Villa for some special poisons, put some control on this man, and sent Jing Peng to follow and observe him secretly."

"I didn't expect that this Sai Dujiu is really capable. After taking over the export business of the small thunder and fire bombs, the sales volume increased immediately. Currently, this project can cover the cost and is expected to be profitable next year."

No wonder Chen Ningtai was excited.

The market demand for small thunder and fire bombs is quite large, and it is very likely to become one of Chen's pillar industries in the future.

"It's like a poisonous dove, hehe~"

Chen Xuanmo also thought this was a good idea.

That guy looks simple-minded, but actually he is very smart and good at taking advantage of opportunities. He probably saw that Jing Yun is very lucky and might become a great man in the future, so it is reasonable for him to try to curry favor with him.

People like this, once their interests are connected and they have certain hopes for the future, are actually more reliable than the average children of aristocratic families.

Because he really knows what is important and won't act on impulse.

After talking about the little thunder and fire bomb.

Chen Ningtai reported other things: "Because of the Bai family's constant interference, the management of our family's assets this year is worse than in previous years."

"Excluding the small thunder and fire bombs, the total income this year is equivalent to 1473 spirit stones. The tribute and gifts to the sect are equivalent to 442 spirit stones. The family's own consumption is equivalent to 531 spirit stones. The remaining miscellaneous expenses are 93 spirit stones. The surplus is equivalent to 407 spirit stones. There are no large expenses."

"A total of 1473 spirits? The balance is equivalent to 407 spirits?" Chen Xuanmo frowned slightly. It was indeed much less than in previous years.

This is while still preserving some of the interests of the market town.

As for paying tribute to the sect, that is inevitable.

If Chen Xuanmo had not had the support of a sect, he would have been expelled from the clan long ago if he had not been able to establish a clan in Cangyiwei.

Moreover, as a foundation-building family directly under the sect, the Cangyi Chen family also has the power to collect tributes from the small families and forces under its jurisdiction. In this regard, the Chen family can receive about 300 spirit stones every year, which is already included in the total income.

However, even so, the annual surplus of a foundation-building family can be converted into four or five hundred spirit stones, which is already quite good.

When accumulated over a long period of time, it becomes a huge sum of money.

However, this surplus is only possible because of Chen Xuanmo's fighting ability and the small number of people in the family.

Among those old foundation-building families, because there are too many members but the scale of the industry has not expanded, their lives are very tight.

Why is the old Hedong Gao family willing to marry the Cangyi Chen family?
It's because they have fallen on hard times and are too poor, and Chen offered a high betrothal gift.

闲话不提。

After listening to the report, Chen Xuanmo fell into deep thought.

The many troubles that the family is facing now are ultimately caused by insufficient strength, so the top priority is to help Ning Zhuo break through the foundation-building stage as soon as possible.

If they want to break through the foundation-building stage, they have to get Chen Ningzhuo a foundation-building pill.

But it is not easy to make the foundation-building pill, and he does not think that the problem can be solved by relying on the mere ten or so wisps of purple energy now.

Moreover, when Chen Ningzhuo breaks through to the foundation-building stage this time, he will definitely need the purple mark to bless him.

Moreover, the purple mark formed by a wisp of purple energy is probably not enough to impact the foundation-building stage.

It can't be that when breaking through from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage, consuming a wisp of purple qi can be enough to protect you, and when you reach the peak of Qi Refining and break through to the foundation building stage, you only need to consume a wisp of purple qi, right?

Chen Xuanmo thought that this setting was not reasonable.

After much calculation, he felt that the most reasonable strategic approach now was to continue holding back the purple energy!

After two or three years, maybe he could start trying to make foundation-building pills. He had also thought that if his descendants worshiped him more often, he would earn more purple energy.

But in fact, it is impossible that no one would go to the ancestral temple to worship him throughout the year, and as a result, the growth of purple energy is still slow.

Apparently, the purple energy would take about a year to accumulate, and would only be absorbed during sacrifices.

The only thing that made Chen Xuanmo a little worried was that the old thief Bai Xinrong was not a good person, and he was afraid that he would do something secretly.

However, this time Chen Xuanmo did not consume the purple energy to send a dream.

A full wisp of purple air is not a small number.

After all, I had explained everything that needed to be explained clearly the last time I had a dream. Now the family policy is to shrink the defense line and focus on survival and development. If we suffer a loss in the early stage, we will make up for it all at once in the later stage.

Given Chen Ningtai's personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to disobey his father's orders and go out and have fun as he pleases.

After a little thought.

Chen Xuanmo did not waste the purple energy that had been consumed. He wandered around Qingyu Cliff for a day and visited his descendants before he resolutely fell into a deep sleep again before midnight.

This awakening consumed a total of a trace of purple energy.

Time flies.

Another year later.

Chen Xuanmo woke up again from Chen Ningtai's rambling eulogy.

After waiting for a while, the purple energy was completely absorbed.

After counting carefully, this time I harvested 94 strands of purple energy, which is a slow increase.

The total amount of purple energy has reached 208 strands.

This made Chen Xuanmo feel the pleasure of accumulating wealth, and his sense of security increased dramatically.

But this time, he did not break away from the lucky bead, with the mentality of saving every penny.

After the sacrifice, he listened to his two sons chattering.

I found that the strategy of hiding was executed quite well this year. Although there were various minor frustrations, the overall situation was barely stable.

He fell into sleep again without hesitation.

When you wake up next time, the purple energy should have been reduced to about three hundred strands.

It should be enough to get Chen Ningzhuo the Foundation Establishment Pill and protect him through the barrier.

By then, the Chen family will have established two foundations, and the overall situation will be stable.

***
Time passed quickly, and only half a year had passed without me noticing.

Linhaiwei.

Lanshan Villa.

Lanshan is not high, but it has beautiful scenery, is full of vitality, and has abundant resources in the mountains.

This is because there is a small earth-based spiritual vein in the Lanshan Valley.

at night.

The entire Lanshan Villa was shrouded in the hazy night, only the lanterns hanging under the corridor emitted soft light, dispelling some of the darkness.

Behind the courtyard, warm yellow light streamed out from an exquisite house with carved beams and painted buildings.

Inside the house, lights flickered, and two people were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

One of them was an old man in a white robe.

His hair was gray, his face was gaunt, and he looked like he was about to die.

This person is none other than the ancestor of the Linhai Bai family - Bai Xinrong, a man who was repeatedly suppressed by Chen Xuanmo in the second half of his life.

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man.

He was wearing the dark blue robe uniform of a deacon of Wuhen Mountain Sect, and took a sip of tea from his cup, with a slightly worried look on his face: "Grandpa, over the past three years, we have been harassing and provoking the Chen family in various ways, but the Chen family has never been moved. Even if we have suffered losses and humiliation, we still look like we are going to retreat to the bottom until the end of time."

"I always feel like they have some tricks up their sleeve. If we delay any further, something unexpected might happen. Why don't I make a big move to force the Chen family to lose their composure?"

This man is called Bai Zhengqing, the second oldest ancestor of the Linhai Bai family. He had already been promoted to the sect deacon of Wuhen Mountain.

Compared to him, Bai Xinrong on the opposite side was much calmer.

He drank his tea calmly, his tone indifferent: "We have signed a ceasefire agreement with the Cangyi Chen clan under the auspices of Wuhen Mountain and Yunyang Sect. If we take the initiative to violate it and make things worse, I am afraid that the sect's 'benefactor' will be displeased."

"Are we going to be dragged down by Chen's like this?" Bai Zhengqing was a little anxious. "Otherwise, I will go back to the sect and ask to see the benefactor."

"Zhengqing, you have to keep calm." Bai Xinrong said calmly, "I was bullied by Chen Xuanmo for so long, and my son died in his hands. I can endure until now, until he died! Why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing that his grandfather seemed to be confident, Bai Zhengqing's face suddenly brightened and he asked, "Grandpa, have you already made a plan?"

He just finished speaking.

Outside the house, there were bursts of strange laughter like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

"Hehehe, old ghost Xinrong, I smell a breath of death on you. I'm afraid you don't have many years left to live, right?"

"Hehehe, rather than dying in vain, it would be better to give your spirit to us brothers so that we can have a new commander in the Soul Summoning Banner."

Amid the strange laughter, ghostly shadows appeared on the lighted windows, looking eerie and strange, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Bai Zhengqing's expression turned stern: "The Pishan Twin Ghosts?! You are so bold that you dare to come to my Linhai Bai Clan to cause trouble!"
