Chapter 230 Cooperation with Zhao Chanzhen (please subscribe)
Although Pohu City is a new city, its scale is not small.
At a glance, it was already forty or fifty miles in radius.
However, there are not many buildings in the city.
In many places there are still towering trees and lush greenery.
But there are also many blocks where various buildings and pavilions are densely packed and spectacular.
There were many monks walking back and forth, busy all the time, creating a lively scene.
Outside the city, after Chen Lingliang became the elder of the Sword Sect, he was taken to a hall full of spiritual energy.
The monk who led the way took him directly to a large hall, gave him some instructions and asked him to wait for the summons, then turned and left.
"What a big show. Golden elixir monks and even late-stage golden elixir monks have to queue up and wait to be summoned!"
Chen Ling thought to himself.
At this moment, there were thirty or forty monks standing or sitting in the main hall.
Among them, most are Golden Core cultivators, and there are also some Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Chen Ling could clearly sense that there were even several late-stage Jindan cultivators among them.
Some monks were talking to each other in low voices, but they all turned on the sound isolation spell.
Therefore, the entire hall seemed very quiet and orderly.
These people have different costumes and are obviously representatives of various sects.
Among the crowd, he also unexpectedly discovered three acquaintances, Shen Yunhe, Guo Ping, and Mu Yi.
Chen Ling didn't want to attract the attention of the three of them. His eyes quickly wandered away and he planned to find a place to sit quietly in the corner.
But Guo Ping and the others had already seen him.
"Master Shen, this son-in-law of the Shen family doesn't seem to take you seriously. He actually didn't salute you!"
Mu Yi raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Chen Ling, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Then a look of horror appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't believe it, "Jindan monk, this kid actually formed an elixir?"
Unbelieving in his heart, he concentrated his consciousness again, and suddenly felt almost crazy in his heart, and a boundless jealousy arose spontaneously.
"Why? Why should this casual cultivator, who has never seen the world, form an elixir?"
Mu Yi clenched his hands and shouted crazily in his heart.
You must know that when you met Chen Ling a few years ago, he was only a monk in the early stage of foundation building.
But in just a few years, he has become a senior Jindan, and he is still in the late stage of foundation building.
As an alchemist, he has no shortage of elixirs, and coupled with his good talent, his cultivation speed is far faster than that of monks of the same level.
I always thought that I was the proud one of heaven.
Only monks like Zhao Chanzhen can be compared with him.
But Chen Ling, a casual cultivator who took a wild approach, actually cultivated much faster than himself!
This made him feel inexplicably jealous!
Guo Ping and Mu Yi looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Brother Guo, we have to find a way to get rid of this kid as soon as possible!"
Mu Yi took a deep breath, calmed down, and secretly sent a message to Guo Ping.
The fat on Guo Ping's face trembled slightly, and murderous intent surged in his heart. The Guo family had already planned to take down the Star Sword Sect.
However, his grandfather knew that Du Qingyun planned to accept Wang Yun as his disciple, so he did not act rashly.
This is how the Star Sword Sect has been able to survive until now.
But unknowingly, this pretty boy has already formed a pill!
His brows furrowed slightly, and then a flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Little pretty boy, if I don't kill you this time, my surname is not Guo!"
Although Chen Ling has formed an elixir, he is also a Foundation-Building Dzogchen Sword Cultivator, and he has an ancestor's protective sword energy in his hand.
Therefore, he didn't have much scruples about Chen Ling.
While the two of them were making their own calculations, Shen Yunhe walked towards Chen Ling with a smile on his face.
"I've met the head of the family!"
Seeing Shen Yunhe approaching, Chen Ling did not dare to neglect, stood up in a hurry, and saluted with his hands in hand.
More than three years have passed in the blink of an eye since the last time I killed the demon cultivator.
Although Shen Yunhe still looks graceful, if you take a closer look, you can see that there are already strands of white hair on his temples.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chen for successfully forming the elixir!"
Shen Yunhe smiled and clasped his fists.
Although Chen Ling married Shen Ling, he was considered his descendant.
However, the level of cultivation has always been measured only by cultivation level.
Now that Chen Ling and he are both Jindan monks, they are naturally friends with each other.
Of course, he was no less shocked than Guo Ping and the others.
Marrying Shen Ling to Chen Ling was a last resort.
In his opinion, Chen Ling was worthy of Shen Ling.
In just a few years, this boy actually formed an elixir.
A golden elixir monk in his forties, he was definitely gifted and had a bright future.
I felt a little regretful because I was eager to cut off the relationship with the Chen family due to the pressure from the Guo family.
Of course, given the current situation of the Shen family, having a golden elixir relative is undoubtedly a good thing.
"It was just a fluke!" Chen Ling replied modestly.
The two briefly exchanged greetings, and then Shen Yunhe changed the subject and whispered, "What preparations have you made for this summons?"
Chen Ling shook his head. According to Wang Xi, there would probably be a tough battle to come, and in this case, what he wanted to fight for was to avoid the risk of being reduced to cannon fodder.
"Hey! Something big may happen next, so be careful in everything!"
Shen Yunhe's eyes wandered, he sighed slightly, and whispered to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling immediately understood Shen Yunhe's current situation.
Zhao Chanzhen must have some mission when he summoned everyone this time.
As for the Shen family's situation, it can be seen that it is not good!
Shen Yunhe's current tone was not as ambitious as that of the head of the family before. Instead, it made him feel a deep melancholy.
Knowing that Shen Yunhe was a kind reminder, but now the Shen family is still under the command of the Yunjian Sect, he pretended not to understand and replied, "Now that the Lan Yue Sect has summoned a strong army, what danger will there be?"
Ahem!
Shen Yunhe coughed helplessly and returned to his original position without saying anything more.
Looking at the gloomy eyes of Guo Ping and Mu Yi, Chen Ling snorted in his heart. Is he trying to think of a way to make these two people disappear in Pohu City without anyone noticing?
Sit cross-legged again and wait patiently.
Soon, a middle-aged man in purple robe who looked somewhat similar to Guo Ping came out of the main hall.
There is an unstoppable force in every gesture!
With a little haste in his steps, he walked to the three of them, waved directly and said, "Let's go back!"
Shen Yunhe and the other three followed him out of the hall.
Before leaving, Guo Ping and Mu Yi both glared at Chen Ling with ill intentions.
Chen Ling looked at his nose and heart, but he pretended he didn't see it.
I think this purple-robed man is Guo Lin!
Then Chen Ling continued to wait patiently.
Except for Shen Yunhe and the others just now, he didn't know anyone else here.
Although he has a golden elixir cultivation level, his cultivation level is lower than others, and no one pays attention to him.
In about half an hour, it was Chen Ling's turn to be summoned to the main hall.
Chen Ling raised his head and looked at the main seat. The person sitting there was probably the person who was summoned this time, Zhao Chanzhen.
The woman was drinking tea slowly, wearing a sky blue dress with the skirt trailing to the ground.
She has a beautiful appearance, an outstanding temperament, white and tender skin, round and charming eyes, smart yet profound, and appears to be very wise.
"Are you Chen Ling, the elder of the Star Sword Sect?"
"Wang Yun, the leader of the Star Sword Sect, is quite arrogant!"
After taking two sips of tea, the woman put down the teacup. Her expression showed no joy and her tone was cold.
Chen Ling took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Senior Zhao, please forgive me! Nowadays, the sect is short of manpower for land reclamation and has many affairs! The sect master really can't get away!"
Zhao Chanzhen looked calm, glanced at Chen Ling, and said calmly, "In one month, all the monks above the foundation level of your Star Sword Sect will gather in Pohu City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Chanzhen stopped talking and looked like he was seeing off guests.
Chen Ling frowned. He didn't expect that the other party would be so capable and decisive. He would give orders directly without any room for negotiation.
However, since people have the support of Lan Yue Sect, they have the capital to speak and act like this.
Thinking of Wang Xi's reminder, it was absolutely impossible for Chen Ling to agree to such an order.
For all monks above Foundation Establishment, don’t their wives have to participate?
He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "To be honest, senior, our Star Sword Sect is currently working hard to build a fourth-level warship, and we can't find any manpower to participate in the land reclamation for the moment!"
"Level 4 warship?"
Zhao Chanzhen, who was twirling the tea cup with her beautiful orchid finger pointing at her, was slightly moved when she heard the words.
The fourth-level battle boat is also a rare thing for Lan Yue Sect.
"When will your Chen family be able to refine a fourth-level war boat?" Zhao Chanzhen stared at Chen Ling with some confusion.
She already knew the information about the twelve sects participating in the land reclamation very well.
The Chen family has a close relationship with the Star Sword Sect.
Wang Yun had already given birth to a daughter for Chen Ling, how could she not know this.
As for the Chen family, they have been able to survive the demonic chaos in recent years and have successively annexed the three major families of the Yeqi Alliance.
In her opinion, Wang Yun must be behind it.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for a family of casual cultivators to have such ability.
She also knew about the Chen family's refining of the third-level war boat.
However, among the sects affiliated with Lan Yue Sect, there are also weapon refining sects.
The number of Tier 3 warships is also considered stable.
But the fourth-level warship is completely different.
"I just started trying to refine it these days!"
“I thought I’d report it to my seniors once I figured it out!”
In order to prevent his family from being drafted, Chen Ling could only exaggerate and first make sure that the Chen family could refine a fourth-level war boat.
Let’s talk about it to whet Zhao Chan’s appetite.
As for what happens next, we will slowly resolve it later.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Chanzhen's expression softened a lot.
A Jindan sect has limited effect on this land reclamation.
But a Jindan family that can refine a fourth-level war boat is completely different.
He smiled and said, "As long as your Chen family can refine a fourth-level war boat, I can find a way to prevent you from participating in the land reclamation in one month's time!"
His tone was not as cold as before.
"Thank you, senior!"
Chen Ling exhaled slightly, and as expected, Wang Xi was right. As long as he showed enough value, Zhao Chanzhen still knew the choice.
Zhao Chanzhen's beautiful eyes swept over Chen Ling, she stood up personally, poured him a cup of tea, looked sincerely, and said with a smile, "Master Chen, I wonder how long it will take to refine the fourth-level war boat?"
The Tier 4 warships she can deploy now only have two bows. The land reclamation area is not large now, but it is enough.
But as time goes by, it will definitely not be enough.
However, customizing a Tier 4 battle boat is an extremely cumbersome matter.
If the Chen family can successfully refine a fourth-level war boat, they will have found a treasure!
Chen Ling did not expect that the treatment would be so different in just a few breaths.
Before my butt was even warmed up just now, the other person already had an expression that looked like he was going somewhere.
Now that he was pouring tea himself, Chen Ling was a little flattered, but he shook his head, sighed and said, "Senior, I don't know something. The more fourth-order ores that this fourth-order warship needs, the better."
"But my Chen family can't find any fourth-level ore at all."
Zhao Chanzhen poured tea for herself with a calm expression, glanced at Chen Ling thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Four-price ore is really hard to find!"
"Let's do this. I'll find a way to find a batch of fourth-level ores for you. Can your Chen family build me a fourth-level battle boat with a bow within half a year?"
"If we can build a Tier 4 warship within half a year and open up wasteland in the future, your Chen family will be exempted from the tax!"
Chen Ling felt happy, this was exactly the result he wanted.
However, he also wanted to fight for more rights for himself and avoid speaking too harshly. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Even if there are sufficient fourth-level materials, it will take a year at the earliest."
Just refining the fourth-level materials is a big project.
Being able to refine a fourth-level battle boat with a bow in one year is already considered pretty good!
"Okay, one year at a time!"
"As long as your Chen family can refine a fourth-level war boat, I will purchase it at the above price, and I will not let you suffer any loss!"
Zhao Chan replied with a smile without even thinking about it.
As long as the Chen family can refine a fourth-level war boat, she can afford to wait not just one year, but five years.
As for whether the Chen family can refine a fourth-level war boat.
She is willing to invest in this kind of opportunity!
After all, it was just an inconsequential move.
Even if the Chen family couldn't refine a fourth-level war boat in the end, there would be no loss for her.
Chen Ling was overjoyed and quickly thanked him!
For a while, my impression of Zhao Chanzhen was greatly changed.
······.
After leaving the main hall, Chen Ling directly summoned the Golden Fire Crow and flew away from Pohu City.
Sitting quietly on the back of Golden Fire Crow, Chen Ling felt a little scared when he thought about the recruitment order just now.
Thinking about the sixteen wives of his family who all went to unknown and dangerous places to open up wasteland, what about the children?
"Hey, in this current situation, you still can't be careless!"
Chen Ling thought to himself.
As for refining a Tier 4 warship within a year, in his opinion, he is still very confident.
After all, as long as he adds one more point, he will be a fourth-level mid-level weapon refiner, fully capable of refining a fourth-level war boat.
In terms of material processing, there are still great advantages with Cold Spirit Crystal Flame and Virtual Fire Cauldron.
Now that they have reached an agreement with Zhao Chanzhen, there is no doubt that the Chen family can leave the wilderness directly.
As long as the fourth-level war boat can be refined later, it will be a complete mission.
This reduces a huge amount of risk.
After all, every time we open up an area, we will encounter monsters of level 4 or above.
Not easy to deal with.
The Golden Fire Crow was galloping hundreds of feet high in the sky. Chen Ling felt relaxed at the moment and was able to enjoy the leisurely scenery around him.
Below is the newly opened area.
A lush green grassland.
On the grassland, there are lakes and colorful wild flowers everywhere, which is a beautiful picture.
And while he was admiring the beautiful scenery, the warning voice of the three-color jade butterfly suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Master, we are being targeted!"
For safety reasons, Chen Ling has always asked the Golden Fire Crow and the Three-color Jade Butterfly to act together, one in the dark and one in the dark.
······.
