Chapter 295 Zhou Hongshang and Dream Gu
Next half month.
Guests came to visit one after another, mostly Nascent Soul monks.
Basically, they represent the forces behind each other and have good relations with Chen Ling, and many people ask him to make elixirs or weapons.
The price given is also very sincere.
What surprised him most was that both the Tie family and the Zhang family of the Huashen family extended an olive branch to him, hoping that he could become their family's guest.
There is no doubt that Chen Ling's ability to defeat Tie Xiong and Zhang Yaoxiang deserves to be taken seriously by any Huashen family.
And he is on good terms with Wanbaolou.
Winning over Chen Ling is tantamount to being able to cooperate better with Wanbao Tower.
In addition, what they value most is Chen Ling's potential.
For a double fourth-level master who is less than a hundred years old, as long as he has enough resources, it is a sure thing to enter the fifth level.
Fifth-level masters were basically the top monks in ancient China.
The status may not be as good as that of the Transformation Monk, but it is much higher than that of the Nascent Soul Dzogchen Monk.
While no other news was heard, news about the many wives and concubines of the Chen family spread quickly.
The ancestor of Jindan has a group of wives and concubines, which is also a common thing in the world of immortality.
But with this weakness, things will be much easier to handle.
Privately, many families have hinted to Chen Ling that as long as he joins his family, he will let him choose even the direct female cultivators of the family.
Marriage has always been the main means for cultivating forces to recruit talents.
What's more, Chen Ling has such an amazing talent, and at least he has the best spiritual root.
If he is combined with the proud female cultivator of the family, the child born will at least start with the best spiritual roots.
This is the foundation for the continuation and growth of the family bloodline.
In Chen Ling's situation, almost all big families dream of having a son-in-law.
There are also some monks from the Alchemy Alliance or the Weapon Alliance who come to visit and ask for advice on alchemy and weapon refining techniques.
Chen Ling could only deal with it politely.
After all, there are cheats, and he will not become a guest or son-in-law of any other family. He is destined to establish his own family.
Fortunately, Wang Xi cooperated with the reception and did not offend anyone.
Of course, the visiting monks, whether soliciting or making friends, were basically polite and brought gifts.
However, after this trip, I also met many famous families in ancient China.
Wang Xi even took several orders for refining fourth-level war boats.
As Chen Ling's fame increased, he received a reward of one thousand incense points.
······.
"When Rong'er is done with his work, we'd better return to Jade Butterfly City as soon as possible!"
"In Sihai Pavilion, it is quite inconvenient whether it is refining weapons or elixirs."
Sitting quietly in the room, Chen Ling murmured.
Apart from entertaining the visiting monks these days, he has not been idle either.
Research has begun on refining fifth-level Taoist weapons.
After all, I had promised Wei Jing that I still had to find a way to refine a true fifth-level battle boat for her as soon as possible.
But now I have a rough idea in my mind.
First of all, he should improve his cultivation as soon as possible. Now that he has understood the laws of yin and yang, he can practice like a fish in water.
If this progress is maintained, it is estimated that it will be able to enter the late stage of Jindan in less than a year.
The second step is to add points again to improve the origin of thunder. This is the key to refining Taoist weapons.
After all, refining Dao Tao must contain the original power.
The last step is to collect fifth-level materials.
Although fifth-level materials can also be exchanged for Dao pattern space.
However, the price-performance ratio of exchanging materials is still somewhat inferior to adding points to improve other attributes.
It's only cost-effective in exchange for some key and extremely rare materials.
Chen Ling's goal is very clear.
Refining the fifth-level materials is not easy. If the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame hadn't evolved to the fifth level, he wouldn't have had a chance.
But once the refining is successful, the effect is hard to estimate.
"Patriarch, the head of the Zhou family is here to visit! Waiting in the living room!"
At this time, Wang Jinhe's respectful voice came from outside the door.
"Zhou Hongshang!"
Chen Ling raised his eyebrows. There were too many social events these days, so he had forgotten about this matter.
He immediately stood up and walked out of the room.
······.
Sihai Pavilion, in the hall with simple and heavy decoration.
Although it was broad daylight, the lights were still brightly lit.
On the right side, sitting on an exquisite sandalwood chair, was a woman in Blue Lake dress.
She has a graceful figure even in a slightly loose dress.
But it still looks exquisite.
In addition to her proud figure, her appearance is also exquisite and beautiful.
A pair of bright autumn eyes shine brightly like a shallow galaxy, crystal clear and moving.
It has the delicacy of a young woman without losing the charm of a mature woman.
At this time, her eyes lit up and a look of surprise flashed across her pretty face.
"The dream Gu actually reacted. I hope this kid won't disappoint me."
The woman glanced at the door and murmured softly.
The spiritual Gu Dream Gu she raised was telling her through trembling spiritual thoughts that this person agreed to the conditions of cultivation.
Dream Gu is a spiritual Gu with heavenly bloodline, and it is the main auxiliary thing for her to practice her skills.
Now her cultivation has reached a bottleneck. According to what the ancestor said, only by stimulating the new bloodline magical power of Dream Gu can her bottleneck be broken through in a short time.
To inspire the dream Gu, a magical creature of heaven and earth, she could only do it by practicing with a monk with great luck.
But in the past two years, there were only two people who could induce the dream Gu.
Luo Fan of the Luo family, the number one god-transforming family in Ancient China, and Xu Shao, the number one genius of the Ancient Sword Sect.
As two people, they are destined to be unable to practice together with her.
Unexpectedly, this time by accident, I met someone who could be induced by dream Gu.
Originally, she came to visit Chen Ling this time.
Mainly, I was surprised to hear the news that Chen Ling defeated Tie Xiong and Zhang Yaoxiang.
Tie Xiong and Zhang Yaoxiang were of the same generation as her, and she was clearly aware of their terrifying strength.
A golden elixir monk who is less than a hundred years old and a fourth-level weapon refiner and alchemist. This is exactly the talent that the Zhou family needs.
She is confident that no man can refuse her request if she is willing.
Therefore, she wanted Chen Ling to become a guest of the Zhou family.
Chen Ling must become the guest minister of the Zhou family.
Now, Chen Ling's value seems to be far beyond her expectations, and she needs to recalculate.
"My Excellency, Chen Ling, has met the head of the Zhou family!"
A cheerful man's voice broke her thoughts.
A man in gray clothes with a smile on his face and a tall body was stepping over.
Although Zhou Hongshang is a Yuanying monk and the head of the Huashen family.
But Chen Ling is now a fourth-level alchemist and weapon refiner.
There is nothing wrong with calling him the head of the Zhou family.
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Chen!"
Zhou Hongshang's bright smile and soft voice make people feel like they are bathing in the morning light.
At this moment, it feels like the two of them are old friends who have known each other for many years and are reunited after a long separation, rather than strangers meeting for the first time.
"She is worthy of being called the number one beauty!"
This was Chen Ling's first impression of Zhou Hongshang. It had to be said that this girl was indeed almost flawless.
She has a beautiful appearance and an outstanding temperament. She has both the elegance and beauty of a young woman and the charm of a mature woman.
Yingying's words seemed to have the power to move people's hearts.
Chen Ling couldn't help but feel wary of this woman.
I couldn't help but think of what Wang Xi said, the Zhou family's practice was weird, and male cultivators should not get close to the women of their family.
Chen Ling was guessing in his mind, but on the surface he was holding his fists respectfully, "I wonder if the Master of the Zhou family is here, what is the important matter?"
As Chen Ling said this, he personally changed the spirit tea for Zhou Hongshang.
"I heard that Chen Daoyou is good at refining weapons, so I came here to visit to see if we can cooperate!"
Zhou Hongshang's smart eyes became cold and bright, looking at Chen Ling as brightly as stars.
She thought to herself, "It's quite impressive to be able to keep such a calm voice while murmuring in my dream!"
"I wonder how the Zhou family plans to cooperate?"
Chen Ling smiled.
He has now reached the early stage of the fourth level of body refining, and his body is already comparable to the early stage of Nascent Soul. Normal attacks do not pose much of a threat to him.
As for the soul, his soul is already no less than that of late Yuanying monks, plus the original soul tree.
If he were not a god-forming monk practicing high-level soul skills, there would be no threat to him at all.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm telling you the truth. The main reason I'm here this time is to invite you to be a guest of our Zhou family."
Zhou Hongshang's face straightened and she said solemnly.
Chen Ling had already expected this.
He had heard this kind of thing too many times these days.
But it’s normal to think about it.
After all, if it were me who discovered such a fourth-level alchemist and weapon refiner, I would naturally plan to recruit him as the guest minister of the Chen family.
"How can I be so virtuous and capable?"
Chen Ling declined politely.
"I heard that Chen Daoyou has many wives and concubines in his family. If you are willing to become a guest of my Zhou family, I can let you choose the women of my Zhou family!"
Zhou Hongshang's bright eyes flashed with a hint of charm, and she smiled sweetly.
Chen Ling was stunned, and he naturally understood what he meant.
If she agrees to become a guest of the Zhou family, then she, the head of the Zhou family, can also choose.
However, this did not tempt Chen Ling much.
Although Zhou Hongshang is indeed picturesque, she also has many wives and concubines in her family.
How could I give up a forest for a tree?
Just when he was about to refuse, his mind suddenly shook, and he saw the colorful rays of light suddenly flowing in Zhou Hongshang's originally bright and moving eyes.
While looking at the brilliance, Chen Ling felt like he was in a trance.
Immediately afterwards, the soul tree in the sea of consciousness suddenly bloomed with nine colors of light, blocking this colorful ray of light from the sea of consciousness.
Chen Ling was shocked. He really didn't expect that he and Zhou Hongshang had no enmity.
She will suddenly take action.
He cast some kind of spiritual magic on himself.
Immediately activate the Golden Lotus Dharma, destroy the colorful rays of light, and teach the opponent a heavy lesson.
But at this moment.
There seemed to be a multicolored ray of light in the colorful glow, directly penetrating the light shield formed by the nine-color soul tree and falling on the purple soul leaf.
Chen Ling felt as if something was melting into the soul leaf.
My heart palpitated slightly.
However, at this moment.
"Boom!"
Chen Ling felt a powerful spiritual consciousness burst out from the soul tree in the sea of consciousness.
Purple light shines.
Instantly integrate your soul into it.
"hiss!"
Zhou Hongshang also groaned at this moment.
He looked at Chen Ling with disbelief.
"What happened to Dream Gu?"
This time it was not a spiritual attack launched by her, but the dream Gu took the initiative to break away from her control.
Flying into Chen Ling's sea of consciousness.
Dream Gu has been raised by her essence and blood since childhood, and has long been connected with her heart and soul.
At the same time, the same purple light shone in her sea of consciousness.
It made her heart throb suddenly.
Immediately afterwards, the sea of consciousness also dimmed.
······.
The darkness is like a tide, and the light is fleeting.
Somewhere in a cave in a valley.
A man and a woman sit in meditation and practice.
"Shang'er!"
The man whispered, "Are you ready?"
The woman looked up at the man, her eyes blurred, nodded, and said tenderly, "Husband, it's all because of my poor qualifications that I need you to expend your spiritual energy to help me build my foundation."
"You and I are husband and wife, and we should live and die together!"
The man said decisively, and shouted softly, "Yin Yang Spirit Flame!"
"Roar!"
In an instant, two flame dragons, one black and one white, roared out and fell into the woman's body.
The woman gritted her teeth slightly and shouted.
After two flames, one black and one white, entered the woman's body, they continued to travel along the meridians.
Seems to be looking for something.
And in the depths of the Qi Sea, there is a colorful bead.
This bead contains some mysterious power, as if it can make a person reborn.
But the surface of this bead is now dull, and the dim colorful light seems to dry up and dissipate at any time.
At this time, two flame dragons came to reactivate the bead.
Immediately afterwards, two flaming dragons, one black and one white, surrounded the colorful beads.
The energy of the flames, one black and one white, exchanges with the colorful energy contained in the beads.
Ouch!
This colorful bead seemed to have a dragon soul being awakened, emitting a low dragon roar.
The colorful beads gradually became brighter, and a faint pressure gradually emitted.
In an instant, the entire sea of qi boiled, and spiritual energy surged, forming a vortex that quickly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.
Outside the cave, the moon is bright and there are few stars and a cool breeze blows.
In the sea of qi, two spiritual flames, one black and one white, and colorful beads blended together like water and fire.
I don’t know how long it took, but the colorful light on the surface of the colorful beads seemed to shine brightly.
The black and white spiritual flames slowly receded.
At the same time, the two people in the hall also opened their eyes at the same time.
Seeing that the two of them actually maintained the posture in the dream.
Zhou Hongshang's beautiful face revealed an expression of disbelief.
"I was actually pulled into the mortal dream of Dream Gu?"
She looked in disbelief.
Chen Ling also frowned.
What happened just now?
Dream?
But how does it feel like being in reality?
He hurriedly looked at Zhou Hongshang.
Zhou Hongshang also raised his head.
The two people's eyes couldn't help but look at each other at this moment.
Zhou Hongshang's mind moved, and she felt a sense of intimacy arise spontaneously.
I felt an overwhelming feeling of trust ensuing.
The man in front of me seemed to be the Taoist monk I had been looking for for countless years.
"What happened to Dream Gu?"
"This is the first time we met, and I already have such a good impression of this person!"
With Zhou Hongshang's cultivation level, he immediately realized that something was wrong with the dream Gu.
Zhou Hongshang was vaguely guessing.
There must be something about Chen Ling that attracts dream Gu.
Making Dream Gu attracted to it.
Only then will he be sucked into the dream.
Originally, he wanted to use dreams to make Chen Ling become obsessed with him.
But now it seems to be the other way around.
Chen Ling didn't seem to be greatly affected, but his favorable impression of him continued to improve.
"How can this be!"
"Dream Gu is of heaven-level bloodline. Is there anything that can suppress it?"
"No, we must leave this place quickly and go back to figure it out."
Zhou Hongshang's face was full of disbelief, and she didn't care about Chen Ling anymore.
The whole body was like a stream of light, flying towards the door.
In the hall, only Chen Ling was left who looked confused.
