Chapter 204 The Han family surrenders and the Guo family recruits (please subscribe)

Jade Butterfly City, Chen Family Meeting Hall.

The fully decorated meeting hall is extremely spacious and beautifully decorated.

The surroundings are not only decorated with second-order high-grade crystal jade, but also several exquisite and elegant Yunhe jade lamps. Wisps of smoke-like spiritual energy gush out from Yunhe's mouth.

At the same time, the Taishi chairs and futons are also made of high-quality materials.

The Taishi chair is made of second-grade Qingxin wood, and the futon is made of Jingxin grass.

Both have the function of cultivating spiritual consciousness and clearing the mind and calming the energy.

Just from the many spiritual decorations in this meeting hall, it can be seen that the strength of the Chen family is no longer what it used to be.

"Husband, the Han family said they want to join my Chen family. The head of the Han family, Han Geng, is already waiting outside the palace. Do you want to summon him?"

At this moment, Chen Ling was sitting in the main hall in the main hall, and his wife Bai Wei was talking to him.

Today, Chen Ling was practicing in the training room. Bai Wei sent news that the Han family took the initiative to join the Chen family.

The Jindan ancestor of the Han family was seriously injured in the demonic chaos and has never recovered. In addition, the Han family also suffered heavy casualties during the demonic chaos.

But now the Jin family has completely surrendered to the Lu family, and requires both the Han family and the Bai family to surrender to the Lu family.

It's just that the Bai family has now joined the Chen family, so they don't pay attention to the Jin family.

But the Han family was not so lucky and received constant pressure from the Jin family.

But I don’t know why?

The Han family did not join the Lu family, but sought refuge with the Chen family!

Currently, the head of the Han family is waiting outside the palace.

Originally, most of the family affairs are now managed by Xie Maner.

But the Han family is not only a weapon-refining family, but there is also a golden elixir monk in the family.

Therefore, he cannot be too trusting and can only receive it in person.

Chen Ling nodded.

A few breaths later, an energetic and handsome young man in red robe walked in from outside the hall following Shen Zhen.

"I've met Master Han!"

Although he knew the purpose of the other party's visit, Chen Ling did not mean to neglect him and stood up to greet him with a smile.

Han Geng was less than thirty years old and was in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Meet Master Chen!"

Han Geng quickly raised his hands and saluted.

Although the Chen family is a family that suddenly appeared in recent years, seeing the current scene of Jade Butterfly City, it has surpassed the Han family with hundreds of years of foundation.

And now they are even more demanding from the Chen family, so their posture is extremely low.

The guests and hosts took their seats.

After a few words of greeting, Chen Ling changed his words and asked directly, "Master Han, what do you want to do when you come to the Chen family this time?"

Although the resources the Chen family currently has are enough for the Chen family to consume for a while, there is no need to rush to expand.

But for the Chen family, conquering an old weapon-making family like the Han family is impossible even with a lantern.

Therefore, within the scope of controllable risks, Chen Ling is naturally willing to accept the affiliation of the Han family.

Besides, this is a lot of incense value!

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Geng's face moved slightly, and then suddenly a light flashed from the storage ring in his hand, and a red ore the size of a palm appeared.

Then he held the ore in both hands and presented it to Chen Ling and said in a low voice, "Master Chen, this is the fourth-grade low-grade Fire Cloud Essence Stone that my Han family has treasured for many years! I specially dedicate it to Master Chen."

Fourth-grade low-grade fire cloud crystal stone!

Looking at the fiery red crystal in Han Geng's hand, Chen Ling still had a look of surprise on his face even though he had already exchanged several pieces of fourth-level ore from the Dao Wen space.

You must know that in this area, even the large cracked gold veins currently controlled by the Star Sword Sect have not seen fourth-level ores.

Moreover, this fire cloud crystal is not only a weapon refining material, but also a good material for refining puppets.

"Does the Han family still control a fire cloud crystal mine?"

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Fire Cloud Crystal, and secretly guessed in his heart.

But he quickly shook his head, maybe he was thinking too much.

It is extremely rare for this barren land to produce third-level mineral veins.

But now, the Han family, also a family of weapon refiners, was actually willing to dedicate the fourth-level Fire Cloud Crystal to him.

This indeed shows enough sincerity.

After all, a piece of fourth-level ore, in the hands of a third-level refiner, only needs to be paired with some other third-level materials.

Once a high-level spiritual treasure is successfully refined, it will become a clan treasure.

Chen Ling was not polite, he immediately rolled his sleeves and took the fire cloud crystal stone.

A strong fire-attribute aura suddenly came from his hand.

Fire cloud crystal is not only hard and sharp, but also extremely easy to shape.

With a thought, Chen Ling put the Fire Cloud Crystal directly into the storage ring, and then said without changing his expression, "Thank you, Master Han, for the treasure, but do you have anything else?"

According to what Bai Wei said, the Han family was going to join the Chen family, and now that he has accepted the Fire Cloud Crystal Stone, it can be regarded as a favor!

Therefore, there is no need to be polite. Accepting the Fire Cloud Crystal Stone is equivalent to accepting the Han family.

Seeing Chen Ling accepting the treasure, Han Geng was reluctant to part with it, but his face still showed joy. He raised his hands and said decisively, "Han Geng wants to lead the Han family members to join the Chen family and pray to the head of the family to take them in."

"In addition, my ancestor of the Han family was severely injured and needs a third-level True Yang Pill to remove the demonic energy from his body. I wonder if the master of the family can refine one for my Han family!"

This is one of the reasons why he took the initiative to lead the Han family to join the Chen family this time.

From the Bai family's mouth, he unexpectedly learned that Chen Ling was not only a third-level weapon refiner, but also a third-level alchemy master.

Originally, they had already gone to the Dan Alliance and wanted to buy this True Yang Pill.

But the Dan Alliance knew that the power of the Han family had plummeted, and the lion opened its mouth. Not only did it want the Han family to join the Dan Alliance, but it also wanted to take away two of the Han family's mines.

At this time, Patriarch Han would never accept it.

So after some careful consideration, he decided to join the Chen family.

Although the Chen family is only a family established less than ten years ago, the strong are respected in the world of cultivation.

The Chen family has been able to stand firm and continue to grow and develop during the years when the demonic cultivators have been raging. This is the strength of the Chen family.

What's more, even Wang Yun, the leader of the Star Sword Sect, and the Jindan Sword Cultivator are the wives of the man in front of him.

And he seems to be at the peak of foundation building cultivation at best.

How do you make a Jindan Swordsman willing to be your Taoist companion?

Judging from the orderly situation in Jade Butterfly City, Chen Ling doesn't seem to be a softie!

In addition, the Metallurgical Alliance now exists in name only.

The ancestor was seriously injured again, and if the evil spirits were not removed from his body, he would probably not be able to survive for half a year.

Therefore, the current situation of the Han family is that they can only join the Dan Alliance or the Chen family.

Only then can we find a way to survive for the descendants of the Han family.

Otherwise, in this deserted land, not to mention other forces, there may even be demonic chaos again.

Even the appearance of a third-level monster by chance could bring disaster to the Han family.

After coming to Jade Butterfly City in person, he saw that the Chen family was far stronger than he imagined. He vaguely felt that the Han family had made the right choice this time!

It turns out that to be precise, taking refuge in the Chen family was just a last resort!

"Okay, since your Han family is so sincere in joining my Chen family, then of course you are welcome!"

"But I still need a month to refine the True Yang Pill."

Chen Ling said with a smile.

True Yang Pill is a pill that removes evil spirits, and its grade is not low.

Fortunately, he happened to have this elixir in hand.

As long as you collect the refining materials, you can refine it.

Of course, he couldn't agree to it all at once, so he played it safe and gave it a month.

[Tip: If you successfully join the Han family, you will get 800 incense points! 】

At the same time, a prompt appears in the prompt bar.

Chen Ling was a little surprised. The last time the Bai family returned, it only had 500 incense points.

Now the Han family has reached 800. It seems that the overall resources or preserved strength of the Han family are much greater than that of the Bai family.

But it’s normal, after all, the Han family still has a Golden Elixir monk in charge.

Although he was seriously injured, he was still a Golden Elixir cultivator.

"Thank you, Master, for taking me in. Han Geng is very grateful. From now on, my Han family will join the Chen family and follow the Chen family's lead!"

Han Geng clasped his fists and saluted, with a joyful expression on his face and said loudly to express his sincere attachment.

Being able to refine the True Yang Pill in one month was already a surprise for him!

As long as the ancestor can save his life, then there will be hope for the Han family in the future.

Chen Ling nodded, and then asked Shen Zhen to assist Bai Wei in handling the matter of the Han family's surrender.

Although the Han family surrendered, there was a possibility of offending the Dan Alliance.

But there is still a certain distance between the Dan Alliance and this desolate land, so they won't go to war in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Yun has controlled the two killing formations of the Tiangang Immortal Light Sword Formation.

Now the Chen family has the capital to deal with the Nascent Soul cultivator.

What's more, by conquering such a large-scale weapon-refining family as the Han family, the overall strength of the Chen family's weapon-refining hall can be raised to another level.

Moreover, the incense value you obtain in the future will also increase accordingly.

After settling the matter of the Han family's surrender, Chen Ling returned to his compound.

Shen Zhen and Bai Wei will discuss other matters with Han Geng later.

······．

"Why did you hurt Hu Xiaohu?"

As soon as Chen Ling entered the door, he heard He Yunxiu's angry voice coming from the hall.

"Mom, I don't blame my little sister for this. It was Hu Xiaohu who used the spirit beast to bully other people. My little sister couldn't stand it, so she beat him!"

The voice of peace sounded again.

Chen Ling walked in and saw He Xiuyun holding a cane and sitting on the Grand Master's chair with a serious look on his face.

In front of her, Ping'an and Shengxia stood. Shengxia suppressed her little face with a look of protest, while Ping'an argued with red ears.

Chun'er and Xingtong also stood behind them, looking cautious.

"father!"

Seeing Chen Ling come in, the four of them seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and they all shouted out.

"what happened?"

Seeing the pitiful looks of the four of them, Chen Ling could only ask seriously.

He pulled a wicker chair aside and sat down.

"Dad, let me make you a cup of tea!"

Seeing Chen Ling sit down, Shengxia, who was quick-sighted, hurriedly said with a smile.

"Xia'er, stop here, you can't go there unless you explain the matter clearly!"

He Yunxiu shook the cane in his hand and said with an angry look.

The feet that Sheng Xia had just strode out retracted like a turtle. She glanced at the cane in He Yunxiu's hand and did not dare to say anything more.

Seeing the opportunity, Xingtong hurriedly walked to the table where the tea leaves were placed, made a cup of spiritual tea, and walked over carefully holding it with his small hands.

"Mom, drink tea!"

Xingtong first handed it to He Yunxiu.

He Yunxiu took the spirit tea, put it on the table, nodded and said, "Tong'er is still good!"

Chun'er also hurried over and made Chen Ling a drink.

"Dad, you drink tea too!"

"What's going on with you? You've made my aunt so angry!"

Chen Ling took the spirit tea, glanced at the four people, and asked.

Shengxia immediately spread her hands, looked over with an innocent face, and said weakly, "Dad, it's all the fault of that guy Hu Xiaohu!"

"He always bullies other people because he has a flame tiger spirit beast in his hand. Last time he almost beat up his eldest brother. I couldn't stand it, so I gave him a lesson!"

"In our Chen family's territory, even if he is a dragon, he still has to be controlled by me, let alone a sick tiger!"

Shengxia was talking enthusiastically, and stopped hurriedly when she saw He Yunxiu staring at her.

"Yes! Dad, that Hu Xiaohu went too far!"

Xingtong and Chun'er also echoed.

"You had a fight with someone, right? Did you win or lose?"

Chen Ling picked up the tea cup, drank the tea slowly, and asked with a smile.

"Dad, I don't know if I lost or won!"

Shengxia said cautiously.

"You burned all the fur of the Flame Tiger, and you almost roasted it. You beat Hu Xiaohu to a bruised nose and face, but you still have the nerve to say it!"

He Yunxiu glared at Shengxia and continued, "How many times have I told you that our Chen family is where we are today because of the joint efforts of other families."

"We, the Chen family, have passed down etiquette to our family. We cannot bully others."

He Yunxiu said as he shook the cane to beat Midsummer.

"Okay! Okay! As long as you don't lose!"

"It's all gone!"

Seeing that Sheng Xia didn't look like he was being bullied, Chen Ling waved and said.

As long as you win, that's fine!

In the world of cultivation, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.

It is not good to educate children too honestly.

Especially in this wilderness.

Once you leave the family, it is not difficult to move forward.

After hearing Chen Ling's words, the four of them immediately waved their hands happily and ran out of the hall.

"Husband!"

He Yunxiu glared at Chen Ling and said dissatisfied.

"It's common for children to fight and fight!"

Chen Ling said with a smile.

"But we can't spoil them like this!"

"How will other people view us?"

He Yunxiu exhaled and said.

"Xia'er knows the importance of it. With her current level of cultivation, if she really wants to deal with Hu Xiaohu, it won't be easy!"

Chen Ling smiled and said.

Now Sheng Xia has reached the fifth level of Qi training, and has already condensed spiritual flames.

Even if a monk meets her in the later stage of Qi training, he may not be able to take advantage.

Not to mention dealing with a kid about the same age as her.

"Hey! With a father like you! You always spoil them!"

He Yunxiu shook his head helplessly.

Then I got up and prepared to make lunch.

······．

The summer sunshine spreads across the patio, intersecting with the green-leafed bamboos and fire-red lotuses, reflecting circles of cyan and red light and shadow.

Under the blue sky, unknown birds chirped.

After eating, He Yunxiu warned Shengxia again, telling her not to cause trouble in the future.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the kitchen, Ming Xia was putting away pots and pans.

Washing dishes and chopsticks for three days was He Yunxiu's punishment for her.

Xingtong and Chuner also quietly walked into the kitchen to help!

Chen Ling, as always, sat comfortably on the patio corridor after lunch, drinking spiritual tea leisurely.

He enjoyed this afternoon full of life, which was long, comfortable and leisurely.

In the midsummer afternoon, the cool breeze blows, and the air is filled with the fragrance of phoenix.

Makes you a little drowsy.

Chen Ling felt relaxed all over.

My heart is filled with peace and joy.

Thinking about how precarious things were when we were in Hongye Alley, one meal could not come after another, but now, even the Jindan family has taken the initiative to seek refuge with the Chen family.

This was a huge change that he didn't even dare to think about.

It also proves that the Chen family has completely established a foothold in this area.

Unknowingly, the status of the Chen family has been completely improved, as if they have entered another world completely.

"Hey, although the situation is good, we still need to be cautious at the moment!"

"Nowadays, it can be said that there are a pack of wolves looking around. Especially the Suiyun Sword Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect have recently shown strong expansion intentions."

"Suiyun Sword Sect has occupied Qingyang Sect's area for more than half a year. If they want to go further, it will be Hundred Beasts Sect or Star Sword Sect."

"Compared with the two fourth-level spiritual beasts from the Hundred Beast Sect, it is undoubtedly easier to eat the Star Sword Sect first."

Chen Ling pondered in his heart.

Fortunately, Wang Yun and the others have now mastered the Tiangang Immortal Light Sword Formation.

"Next, we still need to ask Yingweitang to pay close attention to the movements of these two sects."

"Besides, the Jin family can't relax!"

Although the Chen family currently occupies a lot of resources, they have not yet been fully transformed into family strength.

As for the three surrounding forces, they all have Nascent Soul's combat power as their commander or backers.

So you still have to be careful enough.

As long as you can enter the golden elixir, the power of using the two magical powers will be greatly improved, and you will be able to have enough power to protect yourself.

As long as these three forces don't take the initiative to provoke him, he will naturally not look for trouble.

Although the strength of the Chen family is no longer what it used to be.

But his goal is to marry, have children, and accumulate more incense points, rather than to expand rashly by killing and killing.

Chen Ling was thinking while sipping the spirit tea.

"Someone from the Guo family is here. If you want to discuss it with the head of the family, I have already invited them into the main hall!"

At this time, Shen Zhen hurried over and reported to Chen Ling.

"Guo family!"

Chen Ling stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

Nowadays, the Guo family is in full swing and should not be neglected.

Immediately he waved his hand and walked towards the main hall with Shen Zhen.

······．

As soon as he entered the main hall, Chen Ling saw two members of the Guo family.

One man and one woman, both in the late stages of foundation building.

The man is none other than Shen Ling's follower Guo Ping; the woman is dressed in purple, with a graceful figure and a pretty face.

"The arrival of these two fellow Taoists is really a blessing!"

Chen Ling bowed his hands towards the two of them.

"I didn't expect that in just over a year, Fellow Daoist Chen would have entered the late stage of foundation building. It's really not easy!"

Guo Ping sat motionless, his eyes swept over Chen Ling, the fat on his increasingly fat face trembled slightly, and he said with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Ling deliberately concealed his aura, roughly showing that he had just entered the late stage of foundation building.

Although the two met each other for the second time, they behaved as if they had known each other for many years and were quite harmonious.

However, Chen Ling naturally knew in his heart that Shen Ling was his wife now. The more Guo Ping smiled, the more he had to be on guard.

"What do you call this fellow Taoist?"

Chen Ling asked the girl in purple with a smile.

"Guo Yun!" The girl casually handed over her hand.

"Chen Ling, we are not here to drink tea with you and reminisce about old times!" At this time, Guo Ping said again.

"Last time, your Chen family performed well in killing the demon cultivator. My ancestor values ​​you very much."

"Now that the ancestor has left seclusion, he has stated that as long as the Chen family is willing to join our Suiyun Sword Sect, you can become the elder of the sect."

"In the future, the territory occupied by the Chen family will become larger and larger. I, the Suiyun Sword Sect, will also give you certain resources for the Chen family every year, including high-level swordsmanship."

"We can even arrange Taoist companions for you in the later stages of foundation building within the sect!"

As Guo Ping spoke, he looked at Chen Ling indifferently. He didn't know why his ancestor valued this person so much.

Hearing what he said, Chen Ling understood the purpose of the two people's visit.

This is to recruit the Chen family, and it seems that the Suiyun Sword Sect is also going to continue to expand its territory!

After pretending to think for a while, Chen Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, clasped his fists and said, "It is really an honor for my Chen family to be able to enter Patriarch Guo's Dharma Eyes!"

"It's just that now our Chen family is a family affiliated with the Star Sword Sect, and we will definitely not abandon the sect easily!"

"Please also ask Fellow Daoist Guo to send a message to our ancestor. Chen has failed to live up to his kindness!"

Guo Ping said it nicely, but now everyone knows that Wang Yun is his wife.

If the Chen family submits to the Suiyun Sword Sect, it naturally means that the Star Sword Sect will submit to the Suiyun Sword Sect sooner or later.

This abacus is so shrewd!

As for the Guo family's promise, others might be tempted.

But for high-level spells, as long as Chen Ling accumulates enough incense points, he can naturally enter the Dao Mark space to exchange them.

There is also a Taoist companion. Am I in need of a Taoist companion now?

After hearing this, Guo Ping's expression changed and he snorted coldly.

Although Chen Ling seemed to be respectful, he directly rejected the kindness of the Guo family ancestor. Think about it, who gave him the courage.

A late-stage foundation-building monk dared to refuse the mighty Nascent Soul.

"Chen Ling, you are going to reject the ancestor's kindness!"

Guo Ping looked directly at Chen Ling, his tone extremely cold.

But there was joy in his heart. Chen Ling was looking for death.

He had already wanted to do something about Shen Ling, but he never had the chance because of his demon cultivator.

Now the opportunity will come soon!

"I really let down my ancestor's good intentions! After all, I am still a guest of the Star Sword Sect!"

Chen Ling emphasized again with a look of helplessness.

"Hmph! Okay! It's my Guo family that is so sentimental!"

Guo Ping's expression turned cold and his tone was filled with anger.

Although the Chen family is not weak now, it has not yet reached a point where it can make the Guo family worry.

The ancestor just wanted to accept the Star Sword Sect without a fight.

"Okay! Very good! Since Fellow Daoist Chen is so confident, I hope I won't regret today's choice in the future!"

Guo Ping stood up with an angry look on his face.

Then he said to the girl, "Sister Yun, let's go!"

"Have a good trip, two fellow Taoists!"

Chen Ling hurriedly stood up to see him off.

Flying swords had already appeared under the two men's feet, flying towards the outside of Jade Butterfly City.

Chen Ling frowned slightly and shook his head, it's another troublesome thing!
