Chapter 150 Transformation of family business and refining war boat (please subscribe)
Chen Ling walked out of the training room and sniffed slightly.
The air is filled with an alluring aroma.
"father!"
Several children were eating roasted taro on the patio.
Shengxia was commanding the fire phoenix, spraying flames and carefully roasting the taro placed on the ground.
"Dad, here you go!"
Seeing Chen Ling, Chuner walked over slowly holding a freshly roasted taro in both hands.
Unexpectedly, it got too hot halfway and fell to the ground.
Chen Ling hurriedly stepped forward and touched Chun'er's little hand. Seeing that it wasn't burned, she said with a smile, "Wait until it doesn't get burned before taking it!"
Then he squatted down, picked up the taro on the ground, and peeled off the burnt skin. The aroma of the ripe taro spread out, and Chen Ling also started eating it.
"Dad, it's better for you! Mom won't let us eat this!"
Xiao Shengxia stuck out her tongue and said with a playful expression.
"Where did you get these taros?"
Looking at the small pile of taro piled on the ground, Chen Ling asked curiously.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaopingan is almost four years old.
Chun'er and Shengxia are also over two years old!
"Husband, you are really, the child is really long, how can he eat such a non-spiritual food!"
Qin Wumei, who was walking out of the room, saw Chen Ling eating taro with her children, shook her head and said dissatisfied.
Xingtong stood behind Qin Wumei, looking at the roasted taro on the ground with her big eyes, full of envy.
"It's okay, just give it to the children if they like it!" Chen Ling finished eating the taro in his hand, clapped his hands, looked at Qin Wumei's obviously bulging belly, and said with a smile.
"Liu Niang, do you want one too?"
Shengxia said hurriedly and courteously.
Although Qin Wumei always loves to teach them a lesson, she has a kind expression and is not very lethal.
They are not too afraid of Qin Wumei.
"Xia'er, stop making trouble!"
"You guys need to clean up after you finish eating!"
Chen Ling clapped his hands and smiled.
Then he walked towards Qin Wumei.
"Dad, I want to eat too!"
Xingtong blinked and said weakly.
"Then you go and get it from your brother and sister!"
Chen Ling nodded and said.
In the past half year, he also ripened two 300-year-old elixir Tianling fruits for Xingtong to absorb, but the effect was not very satisfactory.
Her spirit body was still not stimulated.
Xingtong's bright eyes looked at Qin Wumei again.
Qin Wumei glared at Chen Ling, then said to Xingtong with a smile, "Tong'er, remember to eat a small one!"
"Okay, mother!"
Xingtong danced towards Shengxia.
"Fifth sister, the weather is nice today, please go out for a walk more often!"
Chen Ling hurriedly changed the topic and said with a smile.
It snowed heavily last night, but today the snow has fallen and the sky is clear.
The sun is already shining outside!
"Husband, I feel that the spiritual energy in my body is about to break through!"
At this time, Qin Wumei said.
"Breaking through the middle stage of foundation building!"
Chen Ling was slightly startled. Qin Wumei had a middle-grade wood spirit root, and her talent was pretty good, but not outstanding.
However, she has been exposed to elixirs all year round and has no distractions, so her cultivation is not slow in improving.
But now that I am pregnant, the two Ziwei pills on my hand are just one pill pattern.
It is not safe to give it to Qin Wumei.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't rush to break through now. Wait until I find the Ziwei Pill with the second or third pill pattern!"
Qin Wumei nodded.
Then, Chen Ling walked with her several times in the courtyard.
I was also thinking about where to get the recipe for Ziwei Pill?
With my current level of proficiency in the "Muyuan Dan Technique", and with the third-level Cold Spirit Crystal Flame, there will be no problem in refining the Ziwei Dan with the second elixir pattern.
It can even reach the three elixir patterns.
It’s just that the more advanced elixir recipes, like the spiritual ban, are difficult to find on the market.
They are all controlled by big sects or big families.
"If not, you can only wait until you have enough incense value to enter the Dao pattern space to exchange it!"
Chen Ling was thinking secretly in his heart.
Now I can accumulate twelve incense points every day, more than 300 points a month, and I can enter the Taoist space to exchange for a top-level mortal skill!
······.
"Master, not only the Qingyang Sect, but also the other major sects around it, including the Suiyun Sword Sect, are in a state of chaos. Traffic is almost cut off, and everyone is in danger."
"Even the route to the Hundred Beasts Sect is no longer safe!"
In the Chen family meeting hall, Shen Zhen said with a solemn expression.
In the main hall, several senior officials of the Chen family were sitting.
Chen Ling was in the main position, with Li Yourong and Qingtang on his left and right.
Sitting below were Shen Zhen, Feng Jia, Fang He, Chu Gui and Zhou Zhen.
Looking around everyone's faces, Chen Ling said slowly, "We are convening today to discuss how the family should deal with this increasingly ferocious demonic cultivator?"
Everyone present is a person with rich experience!
Shen Zhen and Chu Gui have been dealing with low-level monks all year round, and they are also the most well-informed.
As the head of the family, Fang He's knowledge and abilities in other aspects are unquestionable.
As for Feng Jia and Zhou Zhen, they both came from large sects and their knowledge far exceeded theirs.
So he still humbly asked for their opinions!
Moreover, among the family members, their sense of belonging to the family exceeds 85%, which is considered loyal!
"Master, I am afraid that one of the sects of demon cultivators is eyeing this borderland between Xihuang and Yunmengze."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the demon cultivators to appear so densely in such a short period of time!"
After the words fell, Chu Gui's heart moved and he said.
Chen Ling said helplessly, "We don't know about this. I hope this is not the case!"
If the demonic sect really targets it, then this area will probably never have peace in the future!
"Probably not, otherwise the Lan Yue Sect would not be indifferent!"
Fang He said with slightly focused eyes.
"It's hard to say, this area is just a barren land for a behemoth like the Moon Reaching Sect. How can they possibly be interested in it!"
Chu Gui said seriously.
The Lan Yue Sect is one of the two top sects in the cultivation world within millions of miles in the Western Wilderness.
There are many masters in the sect, and there are dozens of Nascent Soul-level forces under his command.
The Star Sword Sect and several surrounding sects are just a small, remote corner at the junction of Yunmengze and Xihuang.
Even though Star Sword Sect supplies a large amount of cracked gold stones to Lan Yue Sect every year, it is normal for the top management of Lan Yue Sect to know very little about Star Sword Sect.
Just like this time when the cracked gold mine was captured by the demon cultivator, the Lan Yue Sect only sent a seventh-level golden elixir cultivator.
It can be seen that its emphasis is limited!
But in this current situation, no one else is reliable, only one's own strength is the safest!
"Master, I received news from the Fifth Elder this morning. He will come to Chenjia'ao to discuss refining the war boat with you!"
At this time, Shen Zhen said.
"War boat!"
When Chen Ling heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
He has now completely mastered the "Eighty-one Spiritual Taboo Techniques", among which two ninth-level spiritual Taboos are used to refine the war boat.
But the refining of the war boat is different from ordinary spiritual weapons. It is a huge project that requires the entire workshop to cooperate in production before it can be completed.
"In today's situation, only the war boat is the safest means of travel. Otherwise, even the foundation-building monks would not dare to go out easily!"
Shen Zhen said helplessly.
"Hall Master Zhou, do you think the workshop can currently produce war boats?"
Chen Ling raised his head and asked Zhou Zhen.
Zhou Zhen is currently the master of the Weapon Refining Hall.
Responsible for the Chen family's entire weapon refining production.
In the more than half a year since he arrived at the Chen family, the workshop has seen significant improvements in both output and quality.
"The refining process of a war boat is extremely complicated. A medium-sized war boat with a bow requires dozens of ordinary magic vessels and seven or eight spiritual vessels. The main spiritual vessels cannot be lower than level seven."
"The amount of materials required is staggering."
"The second-level gold cracking stone weighs thousands of kilograms, as well as other materials with spatial properties."
"With the current equipment of the workshop and the abilities of the clan members, it is quite difficult!"
"And the refining time takes at least one or two months. Once it fails, it will be a huge loss!"
Zhou Zhen frowned slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said cautiously.
Weapon refining is still one of the Chen family's two main sources of revenue.
Once the refining fails, not only will a large amount of materials be wasted, but the Chen family's income during this period will also be greatly affected.
After hearing what Zhou Zhen said, Chen Ling narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and said slowly.
"What do you think about refining the war boat?"
"Master, currently among the five major sects in the surrounding area, only the Metallurgical Alliance can refine war boats. Even the war boats sold by Wanbao Tower are purchased from the Metallurgical Alliance."
"Coupled with the fact that demon cultivators are raging now, the War Boat Association will become more and more popular among small and medium-sized families in the future!"
"In terms of profit, it will definitely exceed other spiritual weapons."
"Is it just this difficulty?"
Shen Zhen said slowly, being the first to explain his views from the perspective of profit.
When Chen Ling heard this, a thought came into his mind: doing something simple is not as good as doing something precise.
Today, the family's weapon refining route is still the popular route, making profits with large quantities and discounted prices.
Because of the advantages of mining, there are still profits.
However, this is not the long-term solution that Chen Ling wants, but it is because it is difficult to quickly improve the overall weapon refining level of the tribe in a short period of time.
It’s a last resort!
Nowadays, this war boat refining is a good route to high-quality products.
"Master, weapon refining and elixir refining are the same. Only by refining something that is difficult for others to master can we make the greatest profit!"
Chu Gui once again expressed his personal experience.
Although it had been a while since he had refined the Dragon Tiger Pill, he still missed it a little.
"Hall Master Zhou, based on your experience, excluding high-level spiritual restraints, how long will it take for our Chen family to build a war boat?"
Chen Ling thought for a while and asked Zhou Zhen again.
Since we are going to transform, some costs are inevitable!
"Reporting to the head of the family, when I was in the Forgery League, I also participated in the refining of medium-sized war boats, and was responsible for the carving of two spiritual bans."
"Generally, it takes more than half a month to temper and forge the body of a war boat. However, our Chen family's earth fire is only the second level, so it may take more time."
"As for the depiction of common law prohibitions, it depends on the level of the clan members. Normally, it should not exceed a month!"
"In total, the initial stage of building the boat body will take about one and a half months!"
Zhou Zhen replied cautiously.
"Okay, in that case, Hall Master Zhou will let the Weapon Refining Hall make full preparations to refine the war boat!"
"As for the plan for the war boat, you plan one for me first!"
Chen Ling said decisively.
Now that he had this opportunity, Chen Ling made a decisive decision!
"Yes, head of the family!"
Zhou Zhen replied with fists in his hands.
After discussing the matter of casting the war boat, Chen Ling asked Fang He about the cultivation of the elixir.
With Feng Jia's arrangement of the second-level top-grade spirit gathering array, and the family's investment in a large amount of spirit stones every month.
The level of spiritual veins is close to the second-level low-grade.
The aura of the entire Chenjia'ao has been raised to another level, which is extremely beneficial to the growth of elixirs!
The sales of elixirs have come from behind, and their profits have exceeded that of weapon refining.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, the overall talent level of the Fang family's Lingzhi lady is far superior to that of the Qin family's weapon-refining monks.
Chen Ling understands this. No matter what era, talents will be the primary productive force!
"Master, the fifth elder is here to visit!"
At this time, some tribesmen came to report.
"You continue the discussion, I'll go entertain the fifth elder first!"
Chen Ling said to everyone, then stood up and left the conference hall.
The situation would be the same if Li Yourong or Qingtang presided over the meeting.
The two of them will tell him what happens when he goes back and what he needs to decide.
······.
When Chen Ling came to the living room, Wang Hai was sitting on the wooden chair on the right, looking anxiously outside the hall.
"I've met the fifth elder!"
As soon as he stepped into the hall, Chen Ling bowed his hands.
"Brother Chen, there is no need to be polite!"
Wang Hai also smiled and stood up to return the greeting.
He is becoming more polite to Chen Ling now!
After the guests and hosts were seated, the tribesmen presented them with spiritual fruits.
"What's the purpose of the Fifth Elder's visit this time?"
Chen Ling asked directly with a smile.
"I came to visit this time mainly because I wanted to discuss with Brother Chen the matter of building a war boat!"
Wang Hai didn't hide it and said directly.
"Fifth Elder, at present, our Chen family may not be able to refine the war boat!"
"Why doesn't the sect buy from the Metallurgical Alliance?"
Chen Ling was a little confused, why did the Star Sword Sect let the Chen family refine the war boat this time?
From any aspect, the first choice is definitely the Metallurgical Alliance. After all, the two parties still have a cooperative relationship.
Moreover, the strength of the Metallurgical Alliance far exceeds that of the Chen family!
"Hey! Brother Chen doesn't know something!"
"Brother, I won't hide it from you. The cooperation between our Star Sword Sect and the Metallurgical Alliance is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface!"
"Although the ancestors of the Jin family helped us defeat the Gu family back then, and we gave them 10% of the output of the cracked gold mine according to the original agreement, they still pushed forward and forcibly intervened in Jinshanfang City, as if they were half masters. , now we want them to refine the war boat, and they also want half of the profit from cracking the gold veins."
“It’s so heart-warming that a snake swallows an elephant!”
Wang Hai picked up a red grape, ate it directly without peeling it, and said helplessly.
"Is the Metallurgical Alliance so domineering?"
Chen Ling had already learned the style of the Weapon Refining Alliance and said it seriously.
"Hey, it's all because of lack of strength!"
"Now that the demonic cultivators are raging, it will become even more difficult for the sect!"
Wang Hai sighed slightly!
"Fifth Elder, how can we cooperate with the war boat?"
Chen Ling stopped being pretentious and cut to the chase and asked.
"The materials can be provided by the sect. For each medium-sized war boat, the sect will pay an additional five hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones."
"Of course, it is best to hand over the first-bow medium-sized warship within two months, and it must contain two eighth-level spiritual prisons, one for offense and one for defense!"
Wang Hai looked at Chen Ling and said slowly.
Chen Ling thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
Anyway, the family will develop in this direction sooner or later. Now someone has come up with the materials to produce spiritual stones so that the clan members can practice their skills. This is the best thing!
The two then continued to discuss the details of cooperation!
