Chapter 154 The coercion of the Metallurgical Alliance (please subscribe)
Time passed quickly and more than a month passed.
The cold winter is still going on.
Not only did demonic cultivators appear in large numbers, but more and more demonic beasts began to attack markets and monk settlements.
Naturally, some weak families will inevitably suffer.
Killings seemed to be happening constantly, and the Star Sword Sect didn't seem to have enough power to deal with the demonic cultivators.
In more than a month, several waves of casual cultivators and three small families have taken refuge in Chenjia'ao.
Naturally, Chen Ling would not accept this moment easily.
Only the Gao family was accepted. The Gao family was originally a small family that had good relations with the Fang family. It made a living by selling the Fang family's elixirs. It was considered a former affiliated family of the Fang family. There were no foundation-building monks in the family, only two Qi-training Nine. The first level of monks, Gao Hu and Gao Meng.
As for casual cultivators, there are several weapon-refining cultivators who had previously stayed in Duobao Pavilion.
Shen Zhen knew them well.
In addition, the workshop is in urgent need of weapon refiners, so Chen Ling will keep them here.
As for the others, just reject them decisively.
But many people did not leave, but chose to settle down around Chenjia'ao.
Although the spiritual energy around Chenjia'ao is thinner, it is safer.
After all, the Chen family has a magic circle for defense, and monks patrol it every day, so safety is relatively guaranteed.
There were even several second-level monster attacks, but they were all killed. After that, no other monster dared to approach Chenjiaao easily!
······.
"call!"
"The Twelve Golden Dragon Swords are finally completed!"
Chen Ling exhaled and slowly put away the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame.
Looking at the twelve golden spirit swords floating in front of him, there was a hint of joy on his face.
Each spiritual sword shines with golden light, and there is a golden dragon spiritual pattern on the sword body, which is lifelike.
These are the twelve golden dragon swords customized by Chen Ling for Sister Fang Ying.
On the basis of the original Qinglong Sword, a seventh-level spiritual forbidden dragon was used to soar across the world.
According to the Panlong Sword Jue, as long as twelve sword qi are condensed, a sword formation can be formed and the golden dragon sword body can be condensed.
As for the Fang Ying sisters' combined attack advantage, each of them only needs to cultivate six sword energies to form a sword formation.
In addition, they are Jin Yuan sword bodies.
In just over a month, they have been able to condense three sword energies each.
It won't take long to build the Golden Dragon Sword Formation!
[Reminder: My wife He Yunxiu has broken through the sixth level of Qi training. 】
[Tip: My concubine Chu Yu’s cultivation has broken through the seventh level of Qi training. 】
[Tip: There are seventeen family members, and the incense accumulated every day is worth ten. The incense accumulated by the family's population, industry, and resources is worth three. 】
"Yunxiu and Chu Yu broke through at the same time!" Chen Ling put away the Golden Dragon Sword and looked happy.
However, Yunxiu’s improvement is still too slow!
Chen Ling shook his head. Now that He Yunxiu was taking care of a family of children, he didn't spend much time practicing every day.
But children like to be busy. One person pestered He Yunxiu, and others also got close to her, leaving her overwhelmed.
With He Yunxiu's character, she believes that taking care of the whole family is her responsibility, so she will not postpone it.
Fortunately, now that Chen Ling is able to refine the three-alchemy-patterned Heqi Pill, and with the help of the abundant spiritual energy and three Golden Tung Fire Lotus Seeds around her, her cultivation level is also steadily improving!
"Thank you so much Yunxiu. In the past, everyone had to take care of the children, but now it's somewhat unfair for her to take care of the family alone!"
Chen Ling shook his head.
Then his eyes scanned the properties panel.
Incense value: 480.
Realm: Early stage of foundation building (95/100)
"We are about to break through the middle stage of foundation building!"
Chen Ling was excited.
With his current high-grade spiritual roots, even if he wants to break through from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage, it will take several years and he will need sufficient resources.
But with the help of Golden Tong Fire Lotus, it has been less than two years since entering the early stage of foundation building.
This speed is scary enough!
"As long as we enter the middle stage of foundation building, coupled with the spiritual consciousness at the peak of foundation building, and two third-level puppets in our hands, we will have the means to protect ourselves in this wasteland from now on!"
Chen Ling thought.
But this is not enough, there is a big family behind him!
"I don't want to think too much anymore, let's solve the problem of Ziwei Dan Dan first!"
Turning his eyes, he murmured again.
He also asked Li Jian about the prescription of Ziwei Dan, but Wanbaolou did not have it.
To obtain this elixir recipe, apart from the major sects, only the elixir alliance would have it.
The Dan Alliance's only current station in the wasteland is at the Suiyun Sword Formation.
It is two to three thousand miles away from Chenjia'ao.
Although two or three thousand miles is not that far a distance for a monk.
But under the current situation, Chen Ling does not want to leave Chenjia'ao easily.
But now, not only he and Qin Wumei need to break through the middle stage of foundation building, but Qingtang, the Fang sisters and others will also use Ziwei Pill in the future.
"It's better to enter the Dao Wen space and look for it!"
Chen Ling thought for a while.
Then click on the Dao pattern space.
Immediately afterwards, a soft golden glow flashed in the sea of consciousness.
boom!
He felt a sudden shock in his consciousness, and then the golden Dao patterns bloomed, and then he found himself standing under the dots of golden Dao patterns.
[Tip: Check the host’s incense value, which can currently be exchanged for Dao leaves. 】
[Tip: The top mortal level skill, Palm Thunder, requires 300 incense points to exchange for it! 】
[Tip: The best mortal swordsmanship and body protection sword and shield require 300 incense points to exchange! 】
······.
Chen Ling searched carefully.
Finally found the recipe I needed.
[Tip: The second-level elixir recipe "Twenty-Four Second-level Alchemy Recipes" requires 400 incense points to exchange! 】
Although it is not clear whether the "Twenty-Four Second-Level Pill Recipes" contains Ziwei Pill, it is what he currently needs.
Click to exchange immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the golden glow bloomed on the Dao pattern, as if it was blooming in his sea of consciousness, and the golden glow poured into the sea of consciousness.
He felt an unpredictable thought emerge out of thin air and reflected directly into his sea of consciousness, and he naturally understood its meaning.
"Xuanyuan Pill, Peiyuan Pill, Ziwei Pill, Zhenyuan Pill, Spirit Gathering Pill..."
Chen Ling opened his eyes again and returned to the practice room. At the same time, pill recipes appeared in the sea of consciousness.
The twenty-four elixirs are all elixirs used by foundation-building monks to improve their spiritual energy cultivation, spiritual consciousness cultivation, and increase their probability of breakthrough.
"This 400 incense is so worth it!"
Chen Ling's eyes were full of satisfaction.
"Ziwei grass, Lingyuan fruit, and Golden Sun grass, the three main materials alone are two hundred years old!"
"There is also a drop of thousand-year spiritual liquid!"
Thinking about Ziwei Dan, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed.
Fortunately, these main materials are relatively common. Although it takes two hundred years, it is not easy to find.
But he has the flame of all spirits in his hands.
The trouble is still that drop of thousand-year spiritual liquid!
"Go and ask Fang He first! Get the elixir first. It just so happens that today is also a family meeting day!"
"As for the Millennium Spiritual Liquid, we can only go to Wanbao Tower or Star Sword Sect to see if it's available!"
······.
Chen Ling walked out of his home, refreshed.
It has been snowing continuously for the past few days, and it only stopped last night. At this moment, the air is particularly refreshing and cold, and what comes into view is a sky of ice and snow.
As soon as he entered the meeting hall, Chen Ling glanced at everyone and frowned slightly.
Shen Zhen was seen pacing back and forth, looking obviously anxious.
Everyone else sat quietly.
The atmosphere was quite solemn.
"Uncle Shen, what's wrong?"
After everyone saw the ceremony, Master Chen Ling took his seat and asked.
Shen Zhen sat down on his seat and said with a frown, "Master, in addition to the Star Sword Sect, the Chen family, Qi family and Wanbaolou have recently placed orders for war boats with us."
"But early this morning, the monks from the Jin family of the Metallurgical Alliance came to visit us and ordered us not to refine war boats in the future!"
"He keeps saying that the Star Sword Sect has made an alliance with the Jin family. Within the scope of the Star Sword Sect, war boats can only be sold by their Forgery Alliance!"
"He also said that it would be good for us to sell other magic weapons!"
"If you dare to continue selling war boats, don't blame them for being rude!"
"Hey! This is all my fault!" Zhou Zhen sighed and said helplessly, "I originally thought that there was a shortage of manpower here, so I sent an invitation letter to a Taoist friend I had made friends with in the hope that he could join the Chen family."
"Refining the war boat with me, who would have thought that not only did he refuse, but he also informed the senior officials of the Forgery Sect about it, which led to what happened today!"
After saying that, he looked remorseful.
When Chen Ling heard this, his eyes narrowed. It seemed that the people from the Metallurgical Alliance were greedy for the profits from the Chen family's war boat.
Dissatisfied with the Chen family's taking food from their tiger's mouth!
But before he could say anything.
"This Weapon Alliance is too overbearing!"
"It's none of our Chen family's business to refine war boats. Besides, this is the Star Sword Sect and not the territory of their Forging Alliance!"
Hu Waner snorted coldly. She was a saint from the Hundred Beasts Sect, so naturally she would not be afraid of the Forgery Alliance.
"That's right, so unscrupulous, thinking that our Chen family can do whatever we want!"
Li Yourong also echoed.
In terms of foreign policy, she and Hu Waner were surprisingly consistent. They both advocated that the family must expand outward in order to develop.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he will either end up in vain or be annexed by other families!
"There are three golden elixir cultivators in the Keye Weapon Alliance, and our Chen family is no match for them at the moment!"
Chu Gui was sober-minded and looked serious.
After staying in the Chen family for more than two years, he not only lived a leisurely and contented life, but also successfully built a foundation. Now he completely regards the Chen family as his own.
After hearing everyone's discussion, Chen Ling raised his eyebrows and felt helpless.
In the final analysis, the Chen family is too weak.
In the eyes of ordinary casual cultivators, the Chen family's current lineup is absolutely behemoth. There are already more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators in the family, as well as several second-level spiritual beasts.
It is the existence they need to look up to.
But in the eyes of those golden elixir monks, no matter how many foundation-building monks the Chen family has, there are no golden elixir monks in charge.
Then you can step on it at any time!
The Metallurgical Alliance obviously saw this and was so unscrupulous!
Now it is a clear warning, if the Chen family insists on going its own way.
I'm sure they will use this as an excuse to knock on the door and take the opportunity to destroy the Chen family!
For the world of cultivation, the expansion of a family is the process of big fish eating small fish.
It depends on who is the big fish?
Who is Xiaoyu?
Anyway, everyone understands this kind of thing tacitly.
And to avoid this kind of thing happening, only the Chen family has the power of golden elixir!
"If it doesn't work out, our Chen family will move to the Hundred Beasts Sect to see if the Weaponsmithing Alliance dares to be so arrogant!"
Hu Waner saw that Chen Ling had been silent for a long time, and a look of distress flashed in her eyes! He said in a serious tone.
Feng Jia, Fang He, Zhou Zhen and others were also waiting for Chen Ling's decision with heavy expressions.
After finally finding such a place to settle down, no one is willing to move away.
Not to mention Chen Ling, after several years of accumulation, whether it is the family's population or resources, it has begun to gather incense value. If you give up now, it means that you have to start all over again.
This is not a last resort, he will not make such a choice.
Moreover, the Hundred Beasts Sect is not so peaceful. The Hu family has competition from two other Jindan families!
"But if we move to the Hundred Beasts Sect, our spiritual veins and mineral veins here will be gone! This is not the solution!" Shen Zhen said with a frown.
"Don't be anxious, everyone! The situation may not be as serious as we think. Besides, this is still the territory of the Star Sword Sect. I will visit the fifth elder later and see what he says before making a decision!"
Chen Ling thought for a while and said calmly.
Chu Gui asked again, "Master, I dare to say that with the current strength of the Star Sword Sect, it is not enough to protect ourselves. How can there be any spare power to help us?"
Chen Ling thought for a while and realized that this was really the case. The Star Sword Sect was unable to cope with the Qingyang Sect, so it had no choice but to rely on the power of the Forgery Alliance to fight against the Qingyang Sect.
But now it is easier to ask God than to send Him away!
The Metallurgical Alliance has a strong intention to turn its back on customers!
Chen Ling pinched his chin, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "That's all we can do now. As for going to the Hundred Beasts Sect, it's out of necessity!"
"As for the Metallurgical Alliance, if he really dares to attack our Chen family, I will make him lose a few of his teeth!"
His eyes flashed with a cold look!
I have the third-level Thunder Ape Puppet and the third-level Cold Spirit Crystal Flame in my hands. If I fight to the death, although I may not be able to kill a Golden Core cultivator, I will still have to shed a layer of skin!
At this moment, Chen Ling's eyes were bright, as if he had become a completely different person.
He's not like his usual good-natured self, but rather decisive in killing.
Chen Ling has always been low-key and peaceful, and rarely gives off such a fierce feeling.
Others couldn't help but feel a little shocked!
I knew that Chen Ling was murderous!
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Ling's expression became calm and he said, "Everyone just needs to follow the steps. The family's situation is far from deteriorating to that point. The attitude of the Star Sword Sect is unclear, and the Forge Alliance may not dare to take action against us."
He looked at Feng Jia again and said solemnly, "However, you still have to make sufficient preparations. Brother Feng, I have to trouble you to control the third-order Azure Dragon Sword Formation personally and be ready to activate it at any time!"
"Don't worry, Master!" Feng Jia replied with a smile and cupped his fists.
Among all the people here, he has the highest level of cultivation, and he is not as worried about the Forgery Alliance as others.
The Hu family betrothed all the saints to Chen Ling. Based on his understanding of the Hu family, the Hu family would definitely not have made this loss-making deal if it had not been approved by the holy beast.
But with the support of the Holy Beast, it would not be that easy for the Forge Alliance to attack the Chen family!
In addition, with Chen Ling's talent, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, it is not impossible to achieve the golden elixir in the future!
Everyone else seemed to be infected by Chen Ling's momentum, and the atmosphere was not as solemn as before.
Everyone present is a foundation-building monk, and their vision fluid is quite high!
Nowadays, building war boats is an emerging industry of the Chen family!
It will definitely bring huge profits in the future!
And this wasteland is too barren. If you stay here, even if you are lucky enough to break through, you will not have the chance to enter the golden elixir!
And they also hope that Chen Ling can lead them to develop a better future while stabilizing.
And the warship can undoubtedly bring rich accumulation to the Chen family!
In addition, if the family wants to expand in the future and manage internal and external relations, it will definitely need a family head with more powerful methods.
The state that Chen Ling showed just now couldn't be more appropriate!
Chen Ling didn't know what other people were thinking!
Let everyone proceed step by step. Those who need to plant medicines will plant medicines, and those who need to build warships will build warships!
The meeting then dispersed.
Although Chen Ling said it easily, there was still a lingering heaviness in everyone's hearts!
Not to mention others, Chen Ling himself is even worse!
