Longevity: Building A Tiandao Family From The World Of Cultivating Immortals
Chapter 16 Meeting Chen Qingling, The Patriarch Of The Chen Family
The Demonic Cultivator of Fallen Cloud Town has been captured by the Chen family, and the price of talismans has also dropped.
During this time, Lu Changfeng made a fortune and accumulated enough spirit stones, so he focused most of his energy on cultivation.
Meanwhile, Bai Yuerou closed herself in seclusion for seven days and successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refining.
At this moment, in the courtyard, Bai Yuerou is practicing flying sword techniques while Lu Changfeng is giving instructions.
Suddenly, Lu Changfeng's voice transmission stone vibrates.
The shopkeeper of the stone smiles and says, "Fellow Daoist Lu, now you're going to rise to prominence. The Patriarch of the Chen family wants to see you."
Lu Changfeng is taken aback.
The Patriarch of the Chen family is the top expert in Fallen Cloud Town. It is said that he was once a disciple of a cultivation sect but later felt hopeless in Foundation Building, so he applied to leave the sect and established the Chen family in Fallen Cloud Town.
Lu Changfeng ponders for a moment and says to his wife, "The Patriarch of the Chen family wants to see me. I need to go to the Chen family. There's a possibility that I won't come back tonight. You have dinner by yourself!"
Bai Yuerou retrieves her flying sword and inserts it into the scabbard on her back. Dressed in white, with flowing long hair, and a beautiful and extraordinary appearance, she looks like a graceful female sword immortal. She says, "Husband, I understand. Be careful."
Lu Changfeng nods and walks towards the Chen family's mansion.
Arriving at the center of the town, Lu Changfeng sees a mansion covering thousands of acres, equivalent to almost half of Fallen Cloud Town.
The mansion's pavilions are like a forest, lush and ancient, with a majestic ten-meter-high black iron gate facing east. On both sides of the gate stand more than twenty guards wearing armor, their expressions serious.
Lu Changfeng explains his purpose to the guards.
One guard says, "Master Lu, please follow me. Keep up with my pace and be careful not to touch the Chen family's formation."
Just as Lu Changfeng steps into the Chen family, a small, snow-white, delicate spirit fox jumps down from the wall, followed by a woman wearing a blue dress. She has a beautiful appearance and is adorned with seven or eight kinds of precious magical treasures and jewelry.
"Xiao Dou Dou, don't run, wait for me."
The two pass each other in the corridor.
The guard, sweating profusely, warns, "This is our Chen family's young miss, Chen Qingling. Fellow Daoist, you should stay far away from her when you see her in the future."
Lu Changfeng turns his head and looks at the woman's graceful figure, surprised in his heart, "She is Chen Qingling?"
Chen Qingling is the only daughter of the Patriarch of the Chen family.
As the Patriarch had a child in his old age, he dotes on her greatly, resulting in her arrogant and domineering personality. She is known for killing people at the slightest provocation in Fallen Cloud Town.
Lu Changfeng takes out a First Grade Rank Two talisman from his storage bag and secretly hands it to the guard, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist."
The guard puts the talisman into his storage bag and his expression becomes even more friendly.
After passing through a long corridor, Lu Changfeng arrives at a magnificent palace.
The guard says, "The Patriarch is cultivating inside. Fellow Daoist, please enter!"
Lu Changfeng straightens his wrinkled clothes and strides towards the palace.
The Patriarch of the Chen family is sitting cross-legged on a cushion made of hundred-year-old spider silk in the center of the hall. His hair is white, he is wearing a green Daoist robe, and his face is covered in wrinkles, giving him a somewhat ethereal and Daoist appearance.
He slowly opened his eyes and asked in a faint voice, "Are you Lu Changfeng, the one who discovered the Demonic Cultivators?"
Lu Changfeng respectfully replied, "Senior, it was me who killed and discovered that group of Demonic Cultivators."
The patriarch of the Chen family looked at Lu Changfeng and smiled, "The Lu family was once a famous cultivation family in Heiyun Province two hundred years ago. Unfortunately, the later generations were not ambitious enough, leading to the decline of the family. Seeing the current state of the Lu family makes me wonder if the Chen family will end up the same way after I pass away."
"However, now that the Lu family has produced a talent like you, things are turning around. At such a young age, you have cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Refining and are a First Grade Rank Three talisman master. With your own strength, you have killed three cultivators of the same level without any harm. Lu Changfeng, you are much stronger than my disappointing grandsons."
Lu Changfeng shyly smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, senior."
His background could be easily found out by anyone who cared to look.
Even when Lu Changfeng's parents were alive, they made it known.
The reason for this was that cultivation families were highly respected in the cultivation world.
When others heard that your family had produced a cultivator at the Foundation Building Stage, they would show respect and it would be easier to find employment.
Lu Changfeng's parents had moved to Fallen Cloud Town back then.
Just by saying that they were descendants of the Foundation Building Stage cultivators, they were able to secure an acre of spiritual land for cultivation without having to risk their lives hunting.
"I heard you recently got a Dao companion?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng frowned and became wary.
What does this mean?
Could it be that the patriarch of the Chen family has taken a liking to Bai Yuerou?
But since Bai Yuerou became his Dao companion, she had never left the house. The patriarch of the Chen family was always in seclusion, trying to break through to the Foundation Building Stage. How could he have seen Bai Yuerou?
Lu Changfeng was puzzled, but he looked up at the calm-faced patriarch of the Chen family and answered, "Yes."
"Give her up, and I will give you wealth and prosperity!"
The patriarch of the Chen family suddenly spoke in an extremely cold voice, and the temperature in the entire palace dropped.
Lu Changfeng's heart was in turmoil, and his gaze gradually became cold. He said, "Senior, may I ask what this means? Why do you want to separate us? I'm sorry, but I cannot comply."
The patriarch of the Chen family furrowed his brows, surprised by Lu Changfeng's response. He said, "In the cultivation world, it is rare to find a man like you who is both affectionate and righteous, Lu Changfeng. You have impressed me. However, cultivators fight for their lives against the heavens, and it is not uncommon for Dao companions to turn against each other in the face of great benefits."
"I have a daughter named Chen Qingling. Although your family has fallen, you still come from a prestigious background and are worthy of my daughter. I plan to take you as my son-in-law. Consider whether you want power and influence or a useless woman."
Lu Changfeng raised his head and stared at the patriarch of the Chen family, resolutely saying, "There's no need to consider, senior. I am not fortunate enough to marry your daughter."
A flame of anger ignited in the patriarch of the Chen family's eyes.
As the strongest person in Fallen Cloud Town, no one had ever dared to refuse him.
If Lu Changfeng wasn't a talisman master who could bring tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones in profit to the Chen family every year, he would have slapped Lu Changfeng to death right now.
"If there's nothing else, senior, I will take my leave."
Lu Changfeng felt frustrated. If he had known that the patriarch of the Chen family wanted him to marry Chen Qingling, a willful and spoiled girl, he would have taken the opportunity to pretend to be seriously injured from fighting the Demonic Cultivators and unable to come.
"Youth is indeed ignorant."
The patriarch of the Chen family coldly snorted.
Although Lu Changfeng was outstanding, how could Chen Qingling, his most beloved daughter, not find a genius cultivator?
