Chapter 93 Promotion! Three Foundation Buildings in One Sect
……

All kinds of spending thoughts raced through Chen Xuanmo's mind. He wanted this and that.

What he wanted most, of course, was a proper Five Elements Formation, but that was too expensive, so he had to be practical after all!
He decided to discuss with Chen Ningtai how to make full use of these merit points to maximize the family's sense of security and to set an exchange policy.

Unexpectedly.

Chen Ningtai quickly reported: "Father, after the last family defense battle, I thought about it carefully. The more I thought about it, the more frightened and scared I became. I couldn't sleep at night."

"?"

Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state, suddenly had a bad "premonition".

As expected, Chen Ningtai continued, "Therefore, I think we must strengthen the family's combat effectiveness, and the first thing is to strengthen the family's defense facilities."

"In the last defensive battle, the Cloud Piercing Crossbow performed amazingly. With the modified [Explosive Crossbow Arrows], it is even more powerful. Therefore, I took the initiative to build eight more arrow platforms and exchanged eight Cloud Piercing Crossbows from the sect's weapon refining hall. Because of Tuan Tuan's face, we were given an extra 2400 Cloud Piercing Crossbow Arrows! A total of contribution points were consumed."

"it is good!"

Chen Xuanmo agreed with a "hum".

Upgrading defense facilities was also what he had in mind.

When the family first built the arrow rest and purchased the Cloud Piercing Crossbow, they just thought that every family basically had one.

300 contribution points for one crossbow isn't too expensive, and a Cold Iron and Spirit Wood crossbow arrow costs 10 contribution points, so you can afford it if you grit your teeth.

Therefore, the family purchased a total of two Cloud-piercing Crossbows, but they never expected that they would be so effective in actual combat.

When the war was going on, Chen Xuanmo felt a little regretful. Why didn’t the family add ten or eight Cloud-piercing Crossbows!

Perhaps the first round of volleys would defeat that group of evil cultivators.

Chen Ningtai's "self-initiative" this time was quite consistent with Chen Xuanmo's idea, and it only cost him 2400 contribution points, so he was too lazy to argue with this rebellious son about "stealing credit".

Next, it is time for your wise old father to step in and supplement your family defense plan.

Chen Ningtai saw his father's approval and couldn't help but smile with relief. He said, "Keep up the good work." "Besides that, I think our family is still lacking a trump card that can instantly unleash powerful lethality at a critical moment. It can not only deter some "friendly tribes" with ill intentions, but also help us risk our lives at a critical moment to turn the situation around."

"It just so happened that when Senior Brother Yun Hao was ordered to visit Tuan Tuan, he mentioned that Fentian Peak had a [Fire Talisman] left by the previous peak master - [Red Dragon Talisman Sword]. He said that such a thing would just gather dust in the treasury. If the Chen family needs it, they can exchange it for us according to the sect's rules."

"I felt that talismans were hard to come by, so I took the initiative to exchange the [Red Dragon Talisman Sword] for it, which cost me four merit points and 12000 contribution points."

Good guy.

Chen Xuanmo exclaimed, "Wow!" No wonder he had a bad feeling just now.

It turned out that this rebellious son almost lost half of his harvest in the blink of an eye!

However, this is a fire talisman~
This was the treasure that Chen Xuanmo dreamed of in his previous life.

However, this thing can only be obtained by a Jindan-stage cultivator before his death, after he sacrifices his life-saving magic weapon, extracts its power, and seals it in a jade talisman. Every time it is used, the power will be weakened until the jade talisman explodes.

There is no elder in the Chen family who has reached the Jindan stage and died of natural causes, so who will make a talisman for you?
Qianqian used to have a [Three Yang True Fire Talisman] in her hand, but she used up the last bit of its power when dealing with the Pishan Twin Ghosts. This was also because Qianqian's cultivation was too poor and her spiritual awareness was too weak at the time, so she was unable to unleash the talisman's maximum power.

If any other cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage were to use this skill, that Ghost Three would be reduced to ashes on the spot.

If Chen Ningtai were to use a brand new [Red Dragon Talisman Sword], as long as the timing was right and all its power was released at once, he might be able to kill a cultivator at a high level of the Lingtai Realm!

This is the real family trump card.

As for the four merits and 12000 contribution points, is it worth it? Of course it is worth it!

Chen Xuanmo wanted to scold his son for being a prodigal and a spendthrift, but he couldn't really say it. He even thought it smelled good!
After all, things like talismans are not on the sect's exchange list at all, so you can't exchange them just because you want to. Since there is a chance to exchange them, you must act first.

That’s all.

After all, this rebellious son was also considering the safety of the family. Chen Xuanmo didn't want to "argue" with him. He was about to write on the table and calculate the use of subsequent merits and contribution points.

Suddenly.

Chen Ningtai added: "Father, I have thought about it carefully. Although the talisman has many advantages, its power will be reduced every time it is used. Our family still lacks the regular combat power of the foundation-building period. After all, I am alone in guarding the family, and I always feel that I can't do anything alone."

The Heroic Spirit nodded as he listened, and he felt the same way.

However, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that this rebellious son would act on his own again?

as predicted.

The rebellious son Chen Ningtai said with a look of deep reflection: "Therefore, I took the initiative to exchange a combat puppet in the early stage of foundation building from the sect to make up for the lack of high-end combat power when guarding the family. It also consumed four merits and 12000 contribution points! In addition, this puppet can also be studied by Qianqian, and used as a reference to improve her attainments in refining techniques."

What? ! !
Chen Xuanmo was completely confused and his head was buzzing.

You said that this rebellious son was exchanged by mistake? Of course, he was not!
The family is now in urgent need of a puppet in the early stage of foundation building to take charge.

Although the talisman has strong lethality, it is a consumable treasure after all. It becomes less with each use, and people will never use it unless it is a critical moment.

This is somewhat embarrassing.

However, puppets in the initial stage of foundation building are regular combat forces that can be mobilized at any time. They can be repaired if broken, and only need to be replaced and replenished with spirit stones after the battle.

Qianqian also has a fragmentary diagram of a foundation-building puppet in her hand, which can be used as research evidence and to complete her fragmentary diagram!
Four merits, is it worth 12000 contribution points?

Of course it is great value.

But Chen Xuanmo always felt unhappy, as if all his ideas and limelight were snatched away by this rebellious son. Now he wanted to beat this rebellious son, but he was afraid of wasting purple energy!
That’s all.

After all, there are still some merits and contribution points left, and I still have two hundred strands of purple energy, so I can think carefully about how to use them.

Chen Xuanmo was afraid that his rebellious son would make him angry again, so he began to frantically divert his attention.

Seeing Xuanmo Lingjian silent, Chen Ningtai felt that his father must have been surprised by his "smart plan". He might be looking at him with "tears of relief" and sighing, "My Tai'er has finally grown up and thought things through. I, Chen Xuanmo, have a successor. My son Ningtai is even better than my father!"

Think about this.

Chen Ningtai was becoming more and more complacent in his heart, but his expression became more and more solemn: "Father, although the foundation-building puppet is good, it is not as flexible as the foundation-building clan members. Ling'er has been practicing hard for more than ten years, and he has reached the peak of the Qifu realm two years ago."

"It's just that he only has five spiritual roots, and he's already eighty-three years old. Even with the help of the foundation-building pill, his chance of success is only one or two percent at most. I beg you, father, to bless him as he's your eldest grandson, regardless of success or failure, so that he can get rid of his lifelong worry."

"As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, you don't have to worry about it, father. I have already taken the initiative and spent one merit and 3000 contribution points to exchange for one!"

silent.

Chen Xuanmo was really silent for a long time.

He now felt like a certain family in his previous life who was happily relocated and the compensation had just arrived in the account and had not even warmed up before it was completely spent by the unfilial son in the family.

What infuriated him the most was that this unfilial son even took into account the purple energy he had accumulated during his awakening this time. This made him feel as if his pension for this year had been emptied by his unfilial son.

But you said that this rebellious son spent his money in the wrong place. Of course, he did not spend it in the wrong place at all. Every merit and every contribution point actually added to the family's foundation and trump cards!

Also, his eldest grandson who has five spiritual roots wants to make an effort to build his foundation. Can he really not give him the purple energy and let him try to get that one or two percent chance?
It's definitely impossible.

A success rate of 60% or 70% is not a sure thing, let alone 10% or 20%.

Moreover, he is only two years younger than Ning Zhuo, and is now in his early eighties. Even with spiritual power nourishing his body, the functions of all aspects of his body have obviously declined. He cannot withstand any hardship at all. Once he fails to build his foundation, it will be difficult for him to save his life.

This wave of purple energy must be spent no matter what.

Everything was done right.

But Chen Xuanmo didn't want to talk to this rebellious son at all.

Chen Ningtai didn't realize that something was wrong. Instead, he became more and more excited as he spoke: "I think we can't wait for danger to come to our doorstep before we notice it. We should add more patrol teams to patrol the areas under our jurisdiction to find and resolve hidden dangers."

"In addition, we can also train more ordinary martial arts masters and build some hidden sentinels to monitor this area."

"We also need to encourage family members to practice. In the past, there were many people in our family who had five spiritual roots, but they lost motivation after practicing to the fifth or sixth level. But now we must encourage them to strive for the Qi Mansion Realm as much as possible. We must also set up more single-person competition arenas in the family, strengthen multi-person cooperative combat training among the family members, and cultivate tacit understanding..."

"By the way, when you were fighting with the Blood Deacon, those spirit swords were damaged after being corroded by the blood evil force, but Qianqian repaired them with the spirit furnace in the Fire Spirit Cave. It's great to have a weapon refiner in our family. In the market, Qianqian's repair shop has also been renamed [Qianqian Spirit Weapon Repair Shop]."

"Based on this, I think it is necessary for our family to start training our own formation masters, alchemists, spiritual plant masters, talisman masters, and beast masters..."

"Also, I thought that among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, we still lack an earth element superior wild method. I took the initiative for once and exchanged a [Hou Tu Xuan Huang Jue] from the sect, which cost me one merit and 3000 contribution points."

"Now that our family has all the Five Elements Superior Wild Methods, many clan members have gradually switched to practicing the Qi Refining Chapter of the Superior Wild Methods. By then, their combat effectiveness will be slightly improved. If they work hard, they may be able to build a foundation under the protection of their father."

"As for Qianqian, we should encourage her to practice and formulate a Qianqian Training Plan. She is the one who can reach the foundation-building stage the fastest among all the younger generations. If she works harder and her father helps her at the critical points, she will hopefully reach the foundation-building stage within fifteen years."

"In addition, I also have the [Jingyun Training Plan], [Yuling Training Plan], [Jinghuan Training Plan], [Xiuyang Training Plan], and the Second Exploration Plan for Shuifu..."

"In addition to these, this attack on our family has also given me a warning. Although it is relatively safe for the younger generations like Tuan Tuan to hide in the ancestral hall during the battle, if we elders fail to control the situation, Tuan Tuan and his family will have nowhere to escape and will have to wait for death."

"In order to prevent such a situation from happening again, I plan to dig a secret passage under the ancestral hall, leading directly to the outside of Qingyu Cliff. In case of the worst-case scenario, the younger generation of the clan can use it to escape."

Chen Xuanmo was completely numb from listening to it.

In the past, I always blamed this rebellious son for being too timid and having no opinions of his own.

As a result, when this proposal came out, his father was completely confused.

Finally, Chen Ningtai also summarized that in order to increase the family's foundation, he took the initiative to consume a total of ten [Merits] and 32400 contribution points.

Now the family still has two [Merits] and 3290 contribution points left in the sect’s merit account!
After talking about the family's promotion, Chen Ningtai moved on to another topic, his face becoming serious: "Father, this time the Blood Soul Cult attacked the Immortal Cult, our family is not the only one. According to the information that my fourth brother secretly gathered in the sect, our Great Wu Kingdom has experienced a total of 27 attacks in a short period of time. Based on the traces left at the scene, it can be confirmed that it was the Blood Soul Cult that did it. Fourth brother, you go and tell father about it."

Chen Ningzhuo's face was extremely heavy. "Among these 27 attacks, only nine immortal cultivation families were able to defend themselves against the attacks, and even if they did, the losses were very heavy. Apart from our family, only two or three families were in relatively good situations."

"And the remaining eighteen families were all exterminated without exception, and the mortal cities under their rule were also subjected to blood sacrifice by the Blood Soul Cult! According to the number of mortals who were subjected to blood sacrifice, no less than one million people were killed!"

million!

Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state, froze in expression and felt a chill in his heart.

The total population of all mortals in Cangyi City and nearby villages and towns is no more than 50,000!

In one attack, the Blood Soul Cult sacrificed millions of people.

The bloody evil energy that is condensed as a result is absolutely massive. How many masters will be born in the Blood Soul Sect because of this?

This kind of organization is simply a super terrorist. No wonder it was able to stir up blood and rain and cause huge disasters hundreds of years ago.

However, the Chen family is small and has little business. They are probably unable to even take care of themselves at the moment, and are completely powerless to deal with a large cult organization like the Blood Soul Cult.

Now Chen Xuanmo’s only hope is that the sect can lend some support, and that the old monster Ziyin can show his power to quickly eradicate this evil organization.

"However, I heard a rumor that the top leaders of the three major sects in our Great Wu Kingdom have already met because of this matter. I believe that it won't be long before they will announce a joint clearance operation against the Blood Soul Sect." Chen Ningzhuo added.

This is the only way. If the sky falls, let the tall people hold it up.

Chen Xuanmo wanted to avenge his master, but now, he should just take care of himself first.

"Father, there is also something about the Cui family." Chen Ningtai continued to report, "A few days after we were attacked by the Blood Soul Cult, Cui Xiuming, the new head of the Cui family, came to visit our family in person and gave us many gifts. But he did not mention the cooperation project with the Little Thunder Fire Bomb and the Jade Slave."

"But recently, the channel through which we purchase [Nephrite Jade] and [Fire Crystal] claimed that there was a shortage of materials recently and temporarily cut off our supply of raw materials! I secretly inquired about it and found that it was indeed the Cui family who did it. They bought up a large amount of nephrite jade and fire crystal on the market and have raised the price by 50%!"

"At the same time, some caravans entering and leaving Hedong County have also been intercepted and are being inspected and threatened by some mysterious masters."

Hear it here.

Chen Xuanmo nodded slightly.

He understood that it was the Cui family of Hedong who took action.

Nephrite is a niche commodity. There are only a dozen nephrite mines in the entire Wu Kingdom, and the annual output is not much.

The Hedong Cui family relied on their reputation as a superior Jindan clan and their strong financial resources to deliberately raise the price to buy the goods and block the Chen family's purchasing methods. It was clear that they wanted to block the Chen family's supply of raw materials and force the Chen family to bow to the Cui family.

"Shhhhh!"

Chen Xuanmo wrote a few lines, indicating that for the time being, there was no need to worry about Cui's actions. This kind of commercial competition would not show results within a few years. Moreover, Chen had previously predicted that Cui might do something with the raw materials and had already stockpiled a batch of materials in advance.

Although the quantity is not large, it can sustain production needs for about two years.

In addition to this, Chen Xuanmo also raised a point and asked Shangguan to issue an announcement to the public, saying that due to the rise in raw material prices, the enhanced versions of Yu Nu and Xiao Leihuo Bomb have entered a stage of reluctance to sell and price increase, and they would rather sell them slowly!
Chen Ningtai naturally obeyed the order.

After the meeting.

Chen Xuanmo went to the secret practice room to add purple energy to his eldest grandson Chen Daoling.

at this time.

Chen Daoling had already made preparations. He sat cross-legged on the cushion, adjusting his breathing and circulating his spiritual energy to warm up.

Chen Xuanmo looked at Chen Daoling in a daze.

He found that his eldest grandson had become somewhat old. Even though he took good care of himself, he still looked much older than his father Chen Ningtai.

Ugh!
Chen Xuanmo sighed softly.

The world of cultivating immortals is so ruthless. The speed of cultivating the five spiritual roots is too slow. It is difficult to cultivate to the peak of the Qi Mansion Realm at an age when the physical functions are still good, and reach the level of strength that can impact the foundation building stage.

In fact, even if a cultivator with five spiritual roots tried his best to reach the peak of the Qi Mansion Realm, without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate of the foundation establishment would probably be less than one in a hundred!

Even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, the chance is only about 10% to 20%.

This is because compared to cultivators with four spiritual roots, cultivators with five spiritual roots are inferior in terms of affinity with the five elements of spiritual energy, the speed of absorbing and converting spiritual energy, and the width and firmness of the meridians in the body.

Considering Chen Daoling's advanced age of "eighty-three", even with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate is only a little over 10%. If it is delayed for another year, the success rate will drop drastically. Otherwise, it is possible to delay it until next year.

This also means that most families will not choose to support the five spiritual roots in building the foundation. After all, on average, it takes eight or nine foundation-building pills to produce a five spiritual roots foundation-building cultivator. The cost-effectiveness is too low.

On the contrary, there are occasional rumors of some independent cultivators with five spiritual roots successfully building their foundations.

They will risk their lives in the wilderness. If they are lucky enough, they can get some valuable treasures or other opportunities to exchange for foundation-building pills, and then try to make the breakthrough themselves!

But the truth is, most of them died in the wilderness, and those who were able to successfully build a foundation with the five spiritual roots were simply the ones who won the lottery!
Of course, Chen Xuanmo would not be willing to let his eldest grandson risk his life. With his physical condition, if he failed to build his foundation and suffered backlash, he would forget about recuperation. If he did not die on the spot, he could only hold on for another two or three years at most.

Moreover, the family does need one more foundation-building period.

This time, building the foundation must be successful no matter what.

Even if it consumes a little more purple energy.

Unconsciously, a purple mark appeared on Chen Daoling's forehead, and the color became darker and darker, finally forming a golden mark.

Following the instructions, Chen Daoling swallowed the foundation-building pill and began to try to build his foundation.

next moment.

The golden mark on Chen Daoling’s forehead exploded directly, and he entered a state of enlightenment-assisted breakthrough.

Time passes bit by bit.

The first half of the foundation-building process went smoothly for Chen Daoling as he had made sufficient preparations. However, it became more and more difficult as time went on. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and even the spiritual energy in his body began to become unstable.

Obviously, this is caused by insufficient accumulation, insufficient cultivation, and lack of insights into cultivation.

It is still a bit urgent to build the foundation now.

Seeing that he was about to fail in building his foundation, Chen Xuanmo quickly gave him another golden mark.

"Boom!"

The golden mark exploded again, and Chen Daoling entered a state of enlightenment again, and the foundation-building process became stable again.

This time, nothing unexpected happened.

In the end, Chen Daoling successfully established his foundation, and the spiritual power in his body was transformed into true energy. A majestic aura rose from his body.

"call!"

Seeing this situation, Chen Xuanmo couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

When he woke up this time, he had only gathered 218 strands of purple energy, which was not enough to give the third golden mark.

If that doesn't work, he'll have to use the gold seal and jade plaque in stock, which is equivalent to wasting 10 strands of purple energy.

If Chen Daoling was not getting older and could not afford to delay any longer, he would really like to wait until next year to build his foundation.

However, Chen Xuanmo was very pleased that just two golden marks helped his eldest grandson successfully build his foundation.

Now the family has a third cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, achieving the achievement of three Foundation Establishment cultivators in one family!
The overall strength has been improved again!
The most important thing is, with Chen Daoling guarding the family for Chen Ningtai, Chen Ningtai's "high-end combat power" will be liberated, and the family's policies and strategies in dealing with various problems will become more diversified.

at this time.

Chen Xuanmo was left with only 17 pitiful strands of purple energy.

He really couldn't bear to use it again, so he took advantage of the time he still had to walk around the family and see his favorite children, especially the little ones like Tuan Tuan, Xiu Yang, etc.

At midnight, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

The 214th year of the Xuanmo calendar.

Chen Xuanmo woke up and checked the purple energy.

The harvest this time was as high as 242 silk threads!
Some of this is certainly due to the growth of the family itself, but the vast majority of the growth should come from the growth brought about by Chen Daoling's advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Chen Xuanmo was very satisfied with the growth of purple energy.

The sacrifice is completed.

Then we entered the reporting meeting stage.

The rebellious son Chen Ningtai immediately reported the good news excitedly: "Father, our family's development of [Water Palace] has achieved initial results."

Has the Water Palace been developed?

Chen Xuanmo was also cheered up.
