Chapter 66: Number One in Sword Fighting, Let Go of Childbirth
Without his arm, Lin Baixi's body was incomplete. His cultivation speed would probably slow down greatly. It was hard to say whether he could break through the late stage of foundation building before his death.
At this time, Chen Nianzhi came up and said with some embarrassment on his face: "I am not good at cultivation. I am really sorry for hurting fellow Daoist Lin."
"You brat!"
Seeing the most outstanding junior of the Lin family being ruined, Lin Mocheng almost went crazy. He said with bloodshot eyes: "I think you did it on purpose."
"Master Lin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
At this time, Chen Changxuan came up and looked at Lin Mocheng coldly: "When fighting with swords, mistakes are inevitable."
"Besides, Lin Baixi's Azure Thousand Star Needle didn't seem to be held back. If my nephew had held back, I'm afraid he would end up ruining his path today."
"You..."
Lin Mocheng stared at Chen Changxuan. At this moment, he was both angry and a little afraid of Chen Changxuan.
The man in front of him was only at the seventh level of foundation building, but he could already beat him steadily. If he breaks through the ninth level of foundation building in the future, wouldn't he be able to suppress him easily?
Thinking of this, he looked at the other four major families, wanting them to denounce the Chen family with him.
Unfortunately, the other people all avoided his gaze and didn't say a word at this moment.
In such a duel, Lin Baixi used the Azure Thousand Star Needle, a life-threatening and insidious magical weapon in front of him. The foundation-building cultivators of the several major immortal families were very disgusted, and none of them had the intention to help.
Seeing that several people didn't speak for him, Lin Mocheng suppressed the resentment in his heart and had some intention of retreating.
"The Chen family is different now. If we really fight, our Lin family may not be able to win. The reputation of the first family in Yu County may fall into their hands."
"Forget it, bear it for a while, and we have to make a long-term plan after today."
Thinking of this, Lin Mocheng helped Lin Baixi up with a cold face and stopped bothering Chen Nianzhi.
The Lin family lost two games, so the first place in this sword fight fell to the Chen family. From now on, the Chen family will replace the Lin family and get 30% of the tax dividends of Yuyangfang City every year.
After the Chen family and the Lin family fought a game, the remaining immortals fought a few more games. The Mu family had a late-stage foundation-building cultivator sitting in the center, and still maintained the third place.
The Meng family had three foundation-building cultivators, one more than the Zhang family and the Sun family, and naturally won the fourth place. This higher ranking position allowed the Meng family to get an extra 100 spirit stones every year, which made Meng Xinghe very happy.
"..."
As the sword fight ended, the cultivators of the major families left, and the four foundation-building cultivators of the Chen family gathered in the meeting hall again.
The old patriarch looked at everyone with a happy face, and said with a smile: "We will all win this time, and the future deficit of my Chen family can finally be completely solved."
"Yes." Chen Qingwan also showed a smile: "This time it's all thanks to the patriarch and Nianzhi, otherwise we might not even be able to get the top three."
Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly: "The family has supported us to practice until today. Now that we have the ability, it is also right to help the family."
"That makes sense." Chen Qinghao nodded, and he smiled again: "Who should we send to Yuyangfang City to take charge?"
This time, by taking 30% of the tax dividends of Yuyangfang, the Chen family will have an additional 1,500 spirit stones every year in the future.
But this amount of spirit stones is not taken for free, the Chen family also needs to send a foundation-building cultivator to sit there all year round.
Not only that, in order to protect this benefit, if Yuyangfang is attacked by demons in the future, the Chen family must also do their best to protect it.
When it comes to the candidates for Yuyangfang Market, the old patriarch pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although it is leisurely to stay in Yuyangfang, we cannot leave easily. Nianzhi and I are not suitable to be bound by Yuyangfang Market."
"Qinghao, you have been in charge of family affairs for many years, and it is not good for Qingyuan Mountain without you."
"Qingwan, you should go." Chen Changxuan looked at Chen Qingwan, stroked his beard and said: "It just so happens that you are also a weapon refiner, and the business of Yuyangfang can also be handed over to you to take care of it."
Chen Qingwan also nodded: "It is indeed the most appropriate for me to go there."
This matter was finalized, and several people continued to discuss the next plan.
This is Chen Nianzhi who glanced at several people and then said: "Now our family is already the first family in Yu County, but the number of cultivators in the family is too scarce."
"With our current strength, I suggest temporarily relaxing the birth restrictions and increasing the number of newborns in the family."
Hearing his proposal, several people showed a thoughtful look.
As long as birth is allowed, the Chen family will have a large number of newborns in the future. The large increase in newborns will inevitably lead to more children with spiritual roots.
But this also has a big disadvantage, that is, it is likely to attract the covetousness of demons.
The Chu State has three major Jindan sects, and even the great demons in the Purple Mansion Realm dare not show up easily, because once they are discovered, they will be jointly encircled and suppressed by the three major sects and major immortal clans of the Chu State.
At present, the Chen family has about 100,000 mortals, which is not worth the risk of the Purple Mansion demons, but if the mortals of the family exceed one million, I am afraid that there will be Purple Mansion demons who will take risks and use them to sacrifice magic treasures.
"This matter is not trivial." After thinking for a moment, the third elder said solemnly: "If the population increases, I am afraid that the great elder will not be able to control the situation."
The old patriarch frowned, and soon relaxed, and said after consideration: "Then let me go."
"Well, I think so too." Chen Nianzhi nodded and said with a smile: "As long as my uncle is in charge of Pingyang County, he will be safe."
The third elder and Chen Qingwan also nodded repeatedly when they heard this.
With the cultivation and strength of the old patriarch, coupled with Pingyang City's Fierce Sun Divine Fire Formation, as long as the Zifu Demon Cultivator cannot come, even a dozen or so Foundation Establishing Demon Cultivators may not be able to do anything to Pingyang County. "
"Then it's settled." The old patriarch said with a smile: "I'm going to take control of Pingyang County. As long as my descendants of the Chen family don't exceed five or six million, they should be enough to protect Zhou Quan."
With this matter settled, the respective tasks of the Chen family's foundation-building monks were also determined.
The old patriarch is stationed in Pingyang City, Chen Qingwan goes to Yuyangfang City, the third elder is stationed in Qingyuan Mountain, and Chen Nianzhi continues to cultivate in Lingzhou Lake.
After everyone ended the meeting, Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, took out twelve second-level spiritual peaches, and handed them to his old uncle.
"The spiritual peaches in Lingzhou Lake have been promoted to the second level, and the number of spiritual peaches produced every three years is as high as the sky."
"The number of spiritual peaches I can refine is limited. I can only refine twelve in three years. I will give these twelve to my uncle."
The old uncle took the spiritual peach directly without saying anything about buying it with the family contribution.
The reason why Chen Nianzhi's natal sword was forged was because of the Lihuo Crystal he obtained in exchange. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two is as close as that of father and son. There is no need to settle the accounts so clearly.
