When Master Yang came out of the palace, he had a displeased expression on his face, feeling depressed in his heart. In short, his mood was very bad.

Although Emperor Qian did not explicitly say that he had found Zhang Ran, Master Yang inferred from his hints that all possibilities pointed to Zhang Ran. This made him feel resentful, claiming that he could also refine a third-grade Extreme Spirit Pill.

However, Emperor Qian did not give him the opportunity and let him leave. He suddenly felt that he had fallen out of favor, as if his previous transcendent status was drifting away from him.

This situation made him feel nauseous.

With a gloomy face, he returned home and rushed into the alchemy room, expressing that he would personally visit the Ninth Prince's mansion in a month to take a look.

····

Zhang Ran walked out of Su Su's courtyard with a refreshed expression on his face.

During these three months, the Zhang family had given birth to a group of children with spiritual roots. In total, there were six, with two of them having sixth-grade spiritual roots. Zhang Ran was quite satisfied, considering that not long ago, there was only one child with eighth-grade spiritual roots. It was unlikely to have another child with exceptional talent so soon.

Looking at Li Qiushui's growing belly, Zhang Ran was very excited. Previously, he had said that besides the sixth senior sister, her talent was the highest. Zhang Ran was looking forward to the quality of this child.

At the same time...

In the Divine Weapon Pavilion, several more treasures appeared, Law Weapons.

In the alchemy room, there were also various types of pills placed on the pill racks. With a wave of Zhang Ran's hand, all the pill boxes opened, emitting various colors and even some anomalies. It was very beautiful. As long as a girl entered this alchemy room, she would be attracted and find it difficult to control herself.

Zhang Ran went to the Body Tempering space. He could now reach the eightieth level. Under eight hundred times gravity, Zhang Ran felt that his physical body was already comparable to those powerful defensive demonic beasts in the Nascent Soul stage.

"My Puppet Technique has not reached the fifth rank yet. It seems that I need a lot more experience in refining this Puppet Technique."

He realized that he had been unable to break through to the fifth rank in this Puppet Technique for a long time.

The fourth stage corresponds to the Nascent Soul stage, and the fifth stage corresponds to Soul Formation.

If one can reach the level of refining the fifth stage Puppet Technique.

They will possess the combat power of the Soul Formation level,

This way, their strength will undergo a qualitative leap,

In order to understand the reason, Zhang Ran looked up a lot of information.

Finally, after reading it, he suddenly realized that the fifth stage Puppet Technique is as difficult as being a sixth stage alchemist.

It requires the addition of some Innate Qi, which is a genuine Soul Formation combat power. It is definitely not easy to break through.

On this day, the Chen family master from the central region came to visit,

This is the family of Princess Tianxin, because of her decision,

Causing this family to soon face the anger of the Deputy Sect Master of the Mysterious Spirit Gate.

But the Chen family master already knows that the situation is irreversible and cannot be salvaged. He can only hope that the Ninth Prince can help the Chen family get through this difficult time.

"Ninth Prince, I have just arrived and only realized after coming to the Zhang family that it is indeed extraordinary," Chen Xin said with emotion,

He entered the Zhang family and found that these disciples of the Zhang family are stronger in terms of physical body than those of the same level.

"Chen family master, it's a long way to come. You've worked hard," Zhang Ran treated him with spiritual tea.

The Chen family master looked troubled and said with a pleading tone, "Ninth Prince, I believe my granddaughter has told you about the situation of my Chen family. Now my Chen family is really in a dire situation. Without the support of the Ninth Prince, we won't be able to make it through this year."

Zhang Ran summoned Princess Tianxin to come out from the backyard. He would certainly take responsibility for the Chen family's affairs.

Although the Mysterious Spirit Gate is a super sect, he is, after all, a prince of Daqian and will not be afraid.

"Chen family master, before Princess Tianxin agreed to be with me, she had already mentioned this matter. If I didn't have confidence, how could I have agreed? Although I am not a world-renowned hero, I will still fulfill my responsibilities."

Upon hearing these words, the head of the Chen family felt somewhat relieved. He was afraid that this Ninth Prince not only wanted women, but also wouldn't take responsibility. If that were the case, their Chen family would truly be in danger of being wiped out.

This Ninth Prince is not someone they can afford to provoke.

"My Lord, I don't know what your plans are. The Mysterious Spirit Gate intends to hold us accountable in two months. Our Chen family is currently in a state of panic," Zhang Ran said, pondering for a moment. He was certain that he wouldn't argue with a junior from the Mysterious Spirit Gate. When the time came, it would be the Mysterious Spirit Gate's young master who would hold them accountable. If he, a prince, were to argue with them, it would be a joke. Even if the Mysterious Spirit Gate didn't pursue the matter in the future, his prestige would definitely be greatly diminished.

But then he had another thought.

The Chen family, after all, was a family with a Nascent Soul cultivator. It was said that the older brother of Princess Tianxin was also about to break through. If they could become his subordinates, it would definitely be a powerful force. Moreover, they also had many female cultivators in contact with them, and it would be a good choice to combine them with his own offspring.

With this in mind, he came up with a good plan.

He said, "Head of the Chen family, how about this? I am also a formation master. You prepare the materials, and I will go to the Chen family to set up a fifth-grade formation. What do you think? If that young master from the Mysterious Spirit Gate comes to cause trouble, I will send Zhang Tianyin, an outstanding disciple of my Zhang family, to represent me."

Upon hearing that someone would set up a fifth-grade formation, the head of the Chen family could barely control his trembling face and couldn't help but feel delighted.

He repeatedly thanked him, saying, "Great, Ninth Prince, this is really great. With this fifth-grade formation, our Chen family won't have to worry anymore."

"Oh, Head of the Chen family, I'm not talking about covering the entire area. Your Chen family also has a land area of over 500,000 square meters. I will only set up the living area for your main lineage," Zhang Ran explained. If he had to cover the entire area, he would be exhausted.

The head of the Chen family nodded repeatedly, "No problem, I never expected it to cover the entire area. As long as there is something, I will be grateful."

Princess Tianxin looked at Zhang Ran with affection, thinking that she had indeed chosen the right man.

"Husband, my cousin ate the pill you refined, and there are signs of a breakthrough now. Perhaps he will break through soon," Zhang Ran flicked Princess Tianxin's nose with his finger and said, "You are mine, so naturally I will take care of your family."

The head of the Chen family left the Zhang family happily, expressing his gratitude to Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran also smiled, saying there was no need to be polite and asking him to go back quickly to prepare the materials.

"In this way, the entire Chen family will be under my formation. In the future, this will be a means of controlling the family. As for the spiritual stones, even if I don't mention it, the head of the Chen family should understand my meaning. They should offer 15% of the family's annual income in high-grade spiritual stones to our sect. This is the default rule in the cultivation world, and I don't need to say more," Zhang Ran realized that this method was good and very useful. Although the two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Chen family didn't belong to the Zhang family, they could still be responsible for matters in the central region in the future.

For example, if the Zhang family's offspring encountered danger in the central region, they could provide assistance.

The Chen family quickly prepared these materials. After all, the family had been developing for over 7,000 years and had abundant assets. In addition, the central region was also very wealthy, making it easy to collect materials.

Zhang Ran provided them with the simplest formation among the fifth-grade formations, the Five-Door Formation. Therefore, there were no particularly rare materials required.

This formation used the fewest materials among the fifth-grade formations.

The disadvantage was that any fifth-grade formation master could easily break it.

The formation consisted of five doors: the Open Door, the Closed Door, the Startling Door, the Injured Door, and the Scenic Door.

Each door had a specific function, with the Injured Door being the main offensive door, the Closed Door and the Scenic Door being for defense, the Open Door being the core, and the Startling Door being mainly for illusionary formations.

The division of labor was clear, but for the Chen family, it was already a great benefit.

After setting up the large formation, the Chen family was under Zhang Ran's control.

The head of the Chen family also realized this, but there was nothing he could do. At least it was better than being wiped out by the Mysterious Spirit Gate. He also knew that even if they became a subordinate force of the Ninth Prince, they would still have to provide him with spiritual stones as tribute every year.

Zhang Ran and Princess Tianxin indulged in each other for a while before looking at the information of the other princesses.

"Among them, there are six from other families outside of the Great Qian Dynasty. Among these forces, there is the Wang family, which has a Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator, and the hometown of Princess Tianyang," Zhang Ran said, slightly surprised when he saw the location. "The Wang family is actually quite close to the Jun family."

Thinking of the Holy Maiden of the Jun family, who had become much more obedient after returning, Zhang Ran knew that he would need some means to control these families.
