Chapter 76 Shocked! The Chen family has such a strong foundation
……

An ordinary small thunder and fire bomb is equivalent to the power of a full-strength attack from the Lingquan realm in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

It is quite useful for low-level monks and has a certain market value. Shangguan family has also been doing this business, but they don't pay much attention to it. After all, low-level monks have limited financial resources, and this thing is just a firework for high-level monks.

But the power of that small thunder and fire bomb just now was almost equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Qifu realm cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage.

This situation is quite different.

The small thunder and fire bombs with increased power are very suitable for use by cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training. Their financial resources are far beyond what those entry-level cultivators can compare to.

Shangguan Yuntai's heart moved slightly and he was about to speak.

At this time.

Chen Ningtai, who had always been calm and amiable, suddenly changed his expression. He put down his teacup and angrily shouted, "Qianqian, Jingyun! You two are being too much of a fool in front of our distinguished guests. Stop it now!"

The sound was like thunder.

Wang Qianqian and Chen Jingyun were so frightened that their bodies trembled. They quickly stopped and flew into the yard, begging for forgiveness in panic.

"We are in a hurry at the moment, please calm down, Grandpa."

"Alright, alright, hurry back." Chen Ningtai waved his hand with an unhappy look on his face, "Don't disturb our distinguished guests. Go back and receive your punishment."

"Yes, Grandpa."

In front of Chen Ningtai, the young couple who were shouting and yelling about fighting just now seemed very well-behaved, sensible and obedient. They bowed and responded with fear and trepidation, and then prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

Shangguan Yuntai hurriedly called the two of them to stop, trying to look amiable, and pleaded with Chen Ningtai, "Master Ningtai, young couples always have some conflicts, and it's normal for them to get angry and fight over a disagreement. Don't blame them too much."

Hearing this, Chen Ningtai showed a relieved expression, and then smiled helplessly: "It was Ningtai who didn't discipline the children strictly. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

After saying that, he glared at Jingyun and Qianqian again: "Thank goodness Senior Shangguan pleaded for you, why don't you thank him quickly."

"Thank you for your plea, senior." Chen Jingyun and Wang Qianqian hurriedly expressed their gratitude respectfully.

"Haha, I think these two kids are very genuine, and their talent and potential are also quite impressive." Shangguan Yuntai praised them amiably, and suddenly said to Qianqian, "Miss Qianqian, the little thunder and fire bomb in your hand is quite interesting. Can I take a look at it?"

"Ah?" Wang Qianqian was suddenly a little flustered.

She was at a loss as to what to do and secretly glanced at her grandfather Chen Ningtai. Seeing that he kept winking at her, she seemed to react and hurriedly hid her hands behind her back, saying in panic: "What, what little thunder and fire bomb? No, I don't have any!"

After saying that, she immediately stepped on the brand new kite, flapped its wings and ran away.

"Qianqian, wait for me." Chen Jingyun also hurriedly stepped on the spiritual leaves and chased after her, shouting, "Listen to my explanation, I don't have any thoughts about Miss Lingyun."

"I won't listen, I won't listen!"

"..."

The two of them chased each other and soon disappeared.

Shangguan Yuntai looked speechless, and looked at Chen Ningtai with a gloomy look: "Master Ningtai, you are boring now. As the head of the family's weapon refining hall, I also like to refine weapons on weekdays, so I want to take a look at the small thunder and fire bomb. You don't really think that our dignified Jindan family will covet your family's special formula, right?"

Chen Ningtai looked embarrassed as if he had failed to cover up and was caught on the spot. He laughed dryly and explained, "Since Brother Dao said so, we are family now, so I won't hide it."

The word "our own people" was quite irritating to Shangguan Yuntai, and he wanted to refute it immediately, but Chen Ningtai interrupted him with the second half of his words, and there was expectation in his eyes.

"The thing is, my family has an industry that makes small thunder and fire bombs, and the sales have been so-so over the years. But Qianqian thinks it's too weak and has always wanted to improve it, but unfortunately she has never succeeded."

"Just last year, when the family was escorting tribute to the sect, Qianqian was summoned by the Master of Chiyang Peak because of her outstanding talent in fire..."

"and many more!"

Shangguan Yuntai's expression became serious, and he suddenly interrupted, "What is the relationship between your Cangyi Chen family and Master Chiyang? Why would he summon your child?"

"Oh... that's my father's mentor."

Chen Ningtai explained as if he had just remembered something, and then a sad look appeared on his face. He explained in detail as if he was missing someone or recalling something: "My father had no parents since he was a child. With his ordinary background, he joined the Chiyang Peak branch of the Yunyang Sect and became the master's personal disciple. He has a very deep relationship with the master."

“Whenever the Master mentioned my father, he would always sigh, saying that my disciple Xuan Mo was smart and sharp-minded, with a strong character, but his spiritual roots were inferior. What a pity, what a pity, otherwise he would have been able to inherit the legacy of Chiyang Peak and carry it forward!”

After hearing this, Shangguan Yuntai's eyes became more serious.

Previously, the Shangguan family never took small rural clans like the Cangyi Chen family seriously and did not even bother to investigate the intelligence.

However, I never thought that the founder of the Chen family was actually the direct disciple of Master Chiyang.

"No wonder, that's why the Master summoned Miss Qianqian." Shangguan Yuntai saw Chen Ningtai's sad face when he mentioned his deceased father, so he comforted him, "Master Ningtai, the deceased is gone, please accept my condolences. By the way, is there a twist in the Master's summons?"

Chen Ningtai also put away his sadness and continued, "Qianqian is lucky. After receiving some advice from the Master, she suddenly realized the meaning of fire and also got inspiration to improve the small thunder and fire bomb."

"I guess this is my father protecting the descendants of our family in the dark."

Except for the last sentence of Chen Ningtai's speech, the rest is almost all fabricated.

Qianqian's fire-based artistic conception was comprehended by herself through the Three Yang True Fire Seed, and the improvement of the small thunder and fire bomb was really the result of her father's blessing.

Shangguan Yuntai seemed to understand something, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but sigh: "Your family is really lucky."

At the same time, he couldn't help but think in his heart that if he could cooperate with Chen on this improved small thunder and fire bomb project, it would be a good business.

It is true that the Shangguan family of Qinghe is wealthy and powerful, with an annual income of considerable magnitude, but precisely because of their flourishing business and large population, there are countless places that need spirit stones, and overall there are still more monks than porridge.

If Shangguan Yuntai could open up a new source of income for his family, it would naturally be a great achievement, and his lineage would also be able to gain a lot of benefits.

But Shangguan Yuntai could not take the initiative to ask for cooperation. Firstly, he was afraid that the other party would use this matter to threaten Wanqing's marriage. Secondly, in any business cooperation, the party that is too eager will often be taken advantage of and suffer a disadvantage.

With this in mind, Shangguan Yuntai had already made up his mind. He drank a sip of spiritual tea and said slowly, "The stuff is good, but it's not enough to do business with good products. These days, if you don't have enough strength, you're easily coveted or suppressed." "Of course, you have Master Chiyang protecting you, so most people don't dare to mess around. But Master is the peak master of Yunyang Sect after all, and he can't keep an eye on your business every day, right?"

There was one thing he didn't say.

Master Chiyang only has a few dozen years left to live at most. How many years can he protect your family?

"Yes, yes, what you said makes a lot of sense, brother." Chen Ningtai slapped his thigh in a rather exaggerated manner, agreeing with Shangguan Yuntai while changing the subject, "Come, come, brother, try the spiritual fruit produced in my [Lanshan Villa]. Although it is not a rare treasure, it has a unique wild flavor."

Shangguan Yuntai's face suddenly became stiff.

So he talked for a long time, and his hints were so obvious, but Chen Ningtai didn't hear a word he said?
Could it be that this small Cangyi Chen family really wants to go it alone?

I simply don’t know…

"Crack!"

Shangguan Yuntai took a bite of the spiritual fruit and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he reacted.

How could Chen want to work alone? It was obvious that they had another partner. Moreover, that partner was most likely a Jindan family, otherwise they would not ignore his hints.

Could it be that the Chen family is cooperating with the Yunyang Sect?
impossible!
The Yunyang Sect doesn’t think highly of this “small business”.

Could it be [Hedong Cui Family]?
It was not very realistic. The Hedong Cui family was too close to the Cangyi Chen family, and they had a natural suppression on the Chen family, so it was difficult to achieve sincere cooperation. Chen Ningtai was not such a fool.

Shangguan Yuntai thought about it over and over again, but couldn't think of which Jindan family the Chen family could cooperate with.

It’s all my fault that I didn’t properly investigate the information about Cangyi Chen family before coming here, which resulted in me being completely in the dark now.

correct.

Wanqing has been staying at the Chen family recently. That brat Chen Xinyuan is of a lowly family background, and in order to please Wanqing, he will probably show off some of his family connections.

Think about this.

Shangguan Yuntai winked at Shangguan Jincheng who was accompanying him. The other party was also quite smart. He immediately apologized and said that he had not seen his daughter for a long time and wanted to go and say a few words.

After he left, Shangguan Yuntai was no longer anxious. He chatted with Chen Ningtai about some family matters and some interesting things in the Shangguan clan.

Not a moment longer.

Shangguan Jincheng came back and secretly sent a message to his great-grandfather.

【Danyang Li Family】?
When Shangguan Yuntai heard the name, his heart skipped a beat.

You know, even among the Jindan families, the Danyang Li family is very famous. Whenever their family is mentioned, words like "rich and powerful" and "profound foundation" are always mentioned, which shows how strong their financial strength is.

Good guy!
It turns out that the Chen family is actually related to the Danyang Li family. Even the [Yuquan Pill] that Chen Ningzhuo used to heal his injuries was personally refined by the other party's ancestor.

This is a difficult problem. How can we pry this wall open?

Could it be that Wanqing really...

No!

Shangguan Yuntai quickly rejected this absurd idea. Just based on the business of the enhanced small thunder and fire bombs, it was not worth marrying a girl with four spiritual roots to Chen.

Even though the Chen family has many outstanding qualities, it is not an ordinary foundation-building family.

Just thinking about it.

Two maids beside Wanqing came over with two plates of snacks.

They saluted in a coquettish manner and said respectfully, "Senior Shangguan, this is the spiritual rice noodle snack made by Miss Wanqing herself. She said it is for honoring the ancestors."

"This child is really thoughtful." Shangguan Yuntai felt much more relieved.

He picked up a piece of snack and took a bite. He nodded secretly. It tasted good. Wanqing's cooking skills have improved a lot...

and many more.

Shangguan Yuntai suddenly felt as if something was wrong.

Oh, right, these two maids!

They don't have the breath of a living person.

He took a closer look and discovered that the two maids were actually puppets!
Such a realistic puppet.

Isn’t this the simulated puppet that is currently very popular in Qinghe County - [Yu Nu]?

In the past year, ten lifelike puppets named "Yu Nu" have appeared from nowhere. Each one is different in appearance and looks, and is almost indistinguishable from a real person.

It is said that the price of a single piece is as high as 388 spirit stones!
Five of them were bought by monks from other counties, while the monk in Qinghe County who bought the other five jade slaves would carefully dress up the "jade slaves" and parade them around the city every day, for fear that others would not know.

This has become a trend.

After Shangguan Yuntai learned about this, out of curiosity, he also thought about buying one to "study it".

As a result, no one was willing to sell it even though the price was 600 spirit stones!
The Chen family's background is so strong that they could buy two at once?

For a moment, Shangguan Yuntai felt a little numb!
