Chapter 77 Winning the Mahjong Game! Chen's Rise
……

"Brother Shangguan? Ahem, Brother?" Chen Ningtai reminded with a cough.

Shangguan Yuntai suddenly came to his senses, quickly withdrew his gaze from Yu Nu, straightened his body to make himself look less embarrassed.

He coughed twice and said seriously, "Ahem, I was a little surprised to see two jade slaves here. I hope Brother Ning Tai will not blame me."

At this point, Shangguan Yuntai no longer dared to underestimate Chen.

Although they still cannot compare with the huge Shangguan family of Qinghe, they are also a foundation-building family with unique strength and characteristics. From a personal perspective, he is also willing to be on an equal footing with Chen Ningtai and interact with him as an equal!

It would be nice to have a cup of tea and talk about things together when you have time.

"Brother, you actually recognized Yu Nu?" Chen Ningtai was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but show some suspicion in his eyes.

"Ahem, please don't misunderstand me, brother Ningtai." Shangguan Yuntai's face turned red when he was looked at by him, and he quickly explained, "I am the head of the Refining Hall. It's normal for me to be a little curious about such a wonderful refining product."

"That's true. Compared to ordinary Qi Refining puppets, this jade slave does have unique characteristics." Chen Ningtai nodded in agreement.

The last time Qianqian and Jingyun went to Qinghe County, they somehow managed to sell all ten jade slave samples and earned 3880 spirit stones!

With this, he directly earned back the cost of these jade slaves and the cost of material resources invested previously, and also earned an extra thousand spirit stones!
The fact that this kind of puppet was so popular was beyond Chen Ningtai's understanding.

But being able to sell it is a good thing, and this may become the real "pillar industry" of the Chen family. This term was learned from his father.

"Cough cough~"

Seeing Chen Ningtai suddenly fall into deep thought, Shangguan Yuntai coughed to interrupt him, and then asked awkwardly: "Brother Ningtai, can you transfer one of the two jade slaves in your house to me? I am willing to pay 600 spirit stones."

"How many?!"

This price shocked Chen Ningtai.

When Qianqian shouted the slogan earlier, saying "Not 998, not 688, only 388", this price had already scared Chen Ningtai.

This puppet with such weak combat power and a cost of less than 88 spirit stones is actually sold for 388? Will anyone really buy it at this price?
Finally, it was sold!

And now, Shangguan Yuntai actually said that he was willing to offer six hundred spirit stones!
Chen Ningtai really couldn't understand.

This was beyond his imagination. At this price, he could almost buy a low-grade spiritual weapon.

Is this all crazy?

Seeing Chen Ningtai remained silent, Shangguan Yuntai thought he was dissatisfied with his low bid, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Seven hundred spirit stones, this is my bottom line."

Chen Ningtai couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Dao, if you want this jade slave, you don't have to spend money to buy it."

"What do you mean?" Shangguan Yuntai's expression was serious. "If you give it to me, I dare not accept it."

He would not sell his own great-granddaughter for a jade slave!
"Brother, you misunderstood. These two jade slaves were originally given to Wanqing." Chen Ningtai smiled and shook his head, saying, "If you want them, just ask Wanqing directly."

"what?"

Shangguan Yuntai was shocked again.

He couldn't figure out how many times he had had seizures today!

"You, the Chen family, are so generous?" Shangguan Yuntai seemed to sense something and asked with a glimmer of hope, "You finally bought two jade slaves, but you gave them all to Wanqing?"

"Buy? No need to buy, this is made at home." Chen Ningtai explained with a smile.

Shangguan Yuntai was shocked again, his mouth wide open in disbelief, he was numb from the shock.

Chen Ningtai glanced at the two jade slaves, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Dao, if you are not interested in these two jade slaves, you should keep them for Wanqing. I can give one to you."

Time passed quickly while we were chatting.

In the evening, night is about to fall.

On the bluestone square outside the main house.

Next to the spirit boat, Chen Ningtai tried to persuade him to stay with a sincere look on his face: "Brother Yuntai, today is our first meeting and we had a very pleasant conversation. Why don't you stay for a few more days and have some tea and talk about Taoism? At the very least, we should have dinner together and leave tomorrow."

"No, no, I regret that my brother Ning Tai and I met too late, but there is an emergency at home, so I have to rush back overnight."

Shangguan Yuntai's attitude towards Chen Ningtai has completely changed, and he is as friendly to her as if they were long-lost brothers.

"Alas, I missed this opportunity. I don't know when I will have the chance to discuss Taoism with you again."

"Haha, there will definitely be a chance. Maybe it won't be long before we brothers meet again."

the other side.

Shangguan Wanqing's mother was also bidding farewell to her daughter.

She held her daughter's hand and tearfully warned her, "Qing'er, you are staying at Chen's house, so you must take good care of yourself. Don't... Oh, forget it."

"Don't worry, mother." Shangguan Wanqing said with a slightly red face, "My daughter and Xinyuan are good friends who know each other well. I know my limits when it comes to things that shouldn't be done."

Her mother said "hmm" twice to show her relief, and then she took the hand of Chen Xinyuan who came to see her off and said, "Xinyuan, Wanqing is in your hands now."

"Yes, aunt." Chen Xinyuan bowed respectfully.

After a reluctant farewell.

Shangguan's spirit boat quickly restarted, rushed into the sky and flew away. It came quickly and left quickly.

After waiting in heaven.

Shangguan Jincheng then expressed his doubts: "Grandpa, do we need to be so anxious? Also, isn't it a bit…" "What do you know?" Shangguan Yuntai glared at him and said unhappily, "Do you think the Chen family is so easy to control? Especially that old fox Chen Ningtai. If you don't give him some reassurance, he might do something weird to control us."

"I have sent a message to inform the ancestors. As soon as we return, we will immediately convene a meeting of the family elders to come up with a plan for cooperation with the Chen family."

"Our Shangguan clan is now too prosperous and has been stretched to the limit in many areas. We can communicate with them through simple communication talismans. Our ancestors also attach great importance to this matter."

"Compared to the Danyang Li family, we only have Wanqing as an advantage, so we must act quickly and sign the cooperation contract before the Li family. We must win or lose!"

"Wanqing staying with Chen's company has many benefits. She can help us stabilize Chen's company and buy us more time."

Shangguan Jincheng was stunned and could only bow and say, "Grandpa is wise."

****
The top of the jade cliff.

Chen Xuanmo was dressed in black, floating in the air as a heroic spirit, watching Shangguan's spirit boat leave from afar.

He is laughing.

Of course, he didn't know what Shangguan Yuntai said on the spirit boat.

But just by looking at Shangguan Yuntai's series of reactions, he knew Shangguan's attitude without having to guess.

Shangguan Yuntai was shocked by his actions, but Chen was the one who won.

First, Chen Xinyuan’s marriage problem was solved.

Given Xinyuan's personality, if he cannot marry Wanqing, he will probably remain depressed, and it will be a question whether he will be willing to marry in the future.

In this case, wouldn’t the eldest line of descendants be cut off?

Secondly, the problem of sales channels for the enhanced versions of puppets and small thunder and fire bombs was solved.

Of course, the Chen family can also find ways to sell it themselves, but after all, the Chen family has only been established for a short time, and their social circles, influence, and sales channels are too narrow, making it difficult to sell on a large scale.

In addition, as Shangguan Yuntai said, these two products have considerable benefits.

If Chen wanted to eat alone, he probably didn't have the appetite and would easily burst himself.

Cooperating with reliable Jindan families and using their channels for sales becomes a more appropriate choice.

Furthermore.

After completing the marriage and becoming allies with common interests, the Chen family was officially attached to the Shangguan family of Qinghe. If they really need anything in the future, as long as they are willing to pay enough, they may be able to ask the Shangguan family for help.

Even if Shangguan doesn't take action, Chen can still use it to frighten the villains and make those with bad intentions feel fearful.

In short.

This operation has many benefits and also lays a solid foundation for Chen's future development.

However, winning is winning.

After this wave of operations, the consumption of purple energy made him so distressed that he could hardly breathe.

Among them, Chen Ningtai's promotion and comprehension of the true meaning consumed a full 100 strands of purple energy, which required Qianqian to work overtime to develop an enhanced version of the small thunder and fire bomb, which consumed 50 strands of purple energy. The simulated puppet Jade Slave was upgraded to the perfect version of the Lingquan realm, which directly consumed another 100 strands!
Plus the other small consumption of 17 silk.

Of the 370 strands of purple energy that he had managed to accumulate, only 103 strands were left.

Fortunately, the consumption of purple energy was not in vain. The strength of the eldest son Chen Ningtai was actually improved, and the two main products were also actually upgraded. Qianqian's attainments in refining techniques were also really improved, especially in the two branches of firearms and puppetry. Qianqian's attainments were already extremely deep!
These are all tangible benefits and the accumulation of foundation.

In addition, the Xuanqiao Realm Puppet Jade Slave that has been brought out now is already enough to impress the Shangguan family. The subsequent Lingquan Realm Jade Slave can serve as the family's trump card, and they can keep a version in their hands.

Chen Xuanmo was not going to move the remaining 103 strands of purple energy.

A total of 13 [Purple Jade Cards] have been produced before, and only 4 have been consumed so far, so I can stop for a while.

It was midnight.

Chen Xuanmo did not waste any more purple energy by staying for another day, but went straight into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how much time passed.

He only felt the sword tremble, as if someone had shaken it awake with great force.

There was no longer any sound in my ears, the drowsy and long-winded voice of Chen Ningtai reciting the sacrificial text every time he performed a sacrifice.

Instead, it was Chen Ningtai who shouted hurriedly.

"Father, something happened! Father, please show up!"

problem occurs? !

Chen Xuanmo suddenly woke up.

This is only the second time I have woken up abnormally from a deep sleep.

The last time was the crisis of the two ghosts in Pishan, and his great-grandson died.

This time.

Nothing serious is going to happen again, right?
His heart was awe-inspiring.
