The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 26: Qin Yelian (Please collect and continue reading)

Arriving at Duobao Pavilion.

Shopkeeper Shen warmly led him to the second-floor VIP room and poured him a cup of spiritual tea. He smiled and said, "Chen Ling, I was actually planning to invite you over today, but I didn't expect us to be on the same wavelength and you came over!"

"Uncle Shen, these are the magical tools I refined during this period. Two are top-grade, and eight are intermediate-grade!" After Chen Ling took his seat, he handed the storage bag to Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen opened the storage bag and felt the abundant spiritual energy emanating from the magical tools inside. He happily said, "Good! Good! In less than a month, you were able to refine more than ten intermediate-grade magical tools. It won't be long before you become the chief alchemist of Duobao Pavilion!"

Whether it was efficiency or quality, Chen Ling had already surpassed the other two first-tier alchemists.

Considered the second-in-command of Duobao Pavilion now!

Moreover, with more and more pioneers and wandering cultivators coming to Yunmeng Swamp, the prices of magical tools continued to rise, even though a few more magical tool shops had opened recently.

But the demand for magical tools still exceeded the supply.

It seemed that this situation would continue for some time.

Naturally, Duobao Pavilion had to take advantage of this and make more profit!

"This is your reward for this time, twenty-six pieces of intermediate-grade spirit stones, and there are also ten Qi Condensing Pills with second-tier dan patterns that you purchased last time."

"Additionally, there are five custom-made top-grade magical tools inside! Please complete them as soon as possible!"

Shen Zhen handed a storage bag to Chen Ling and squinted his eyes, smilingly saying, "There is another good news today. The Qin family's young lady we previously agreed on will come. You will meet her later."

"I originally planned to inform you when she arrived, but since you're here, let's wait here for a while!"

"Uncle Shen, thank you for your trouble!" Chen Ling replied with a fist salute.

"This woman's name is Qin Yelian, she is twenty years old, at the third level of Qi Refining, and has three spiritual roots. She is a member of the Qin family's collateral branch. However, her parents passed away early, and now she is alone. She is also resilient and intelligent."

Shen Zhen turned his tea cup and introduced to Chen Ling.

Originally, he had told his wife that he wanted to introduce a direct-lineage girl, so that with his relationship with Chen Ling, they could take care of each other in the clan in the future.

But the other party knew that Chen Ling was a wandering cultivator and already married, so she directly refused.

That's why he had to find Qin Yelian, who came from a collateral branch.

For the Qin family, Qin Yelian's potential had reached its limit, and they would no longer waste resources on her.

It was more appropriate to form a marriage alliance with a guest official who had a unique skill!

Moreover, with Chen Ling's talent and status, if he didn't become a first-tier alchemist, it would be impossible for him to marry a Foundation Building family girl.

This was a mutually beneficial choice!

When Chen Ling heard that she was from a collateral branch and had lost both parents, his expression slightly changed.

For him, the less presence this woman had in the Qin family, the better.

At this moment, he even had some expectations in his heart.

Chen Ling's gaze shifted, and he took out ten intermediate-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and smiled, "Uncle Shen, these are the spirit stones I will use to purchase second-tier dan pattern Qi Condensing Pills next month."

Shen Zhen smiled and put away the spirit stones. After thinking for a moment, he sincerely said, "Although Qin Yelian is from a collateral branch, she is still connected to Qin Wumei and others."

"If you marry her, in the future, through her, you can purchase more pills, not only in greater quantities but also at a more favorable price."

In his opinion, Chen Ling had great potential and would most likely become a second-tier alchemist in the future.

It was worth spending more resources to win him over.

Unfortunately, those people from the Qin family were shortsighted and didn't think highly of a cultivator with four spiritual roots.

They didn't take his words seriously.

Chen Ling nodded and estimated in his heart.

Cultivation at the third level.

Although she was from a prestigious family, she had no significant connections.

And she had a dignified and resilient character.

It can also bring convenience for him to purchase elixirs in the future.

If she can be as gentle and considerate as He Yunxiu, then this matter will be settled!

As for appearance, as long as it's passable, it doesn't matter.

Originally, he had many concerns about marrying into a prestigious family.

But now that he knows that Qin Yelian is just a discarded peripheral figure of the Qin family, it won't have any impact on his future development.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Shen the shopkeeper and asked, "Uncle Shen, do you know how to remove the venom of the Ink Armor Blood Spider?"

With Shen Zhen's knowledge and connections, he can be relied upon!

Of course, he doesn't necessarily have to go out of his way to help Li Yourong.

He can only provide assistance within his current capabilities.

If it exceeds his current limits, then he can't do anything about it.

On one hand, when they lived in Hongye Lane before, having Li Yourong as a neighbor at the seventh level of Qi Refining saved them a lot of trouble.

In addition, Li Yourong still owes him spirit stones, so he wants to minimize his losses.

As long as she can recover, with her cultivation level, she will eventually be able to repay the spirit stones.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper Shen's expression couldn't help but freeze, and he looked at Chen Ling and said, "The Ink Armor Blood Spider is a second-order monster that lives in the Yunmeng Swamp. Its ink armor and blood silk are extremely valuable materials. Its toxicity is not lethal, but once poisoned, it requires a second-order Detoxification Pill to remove it."

"But these second-order Detoxification Pills are not only expensive, but also rarely seen on the market."

"A few months ago, Wanbao Tower did auction one, and the price was close to fifty middle-grade spirit stones."

"Fifty middle-grade spirit stones!" Chen Ling's expression paused. For him now, fifty middle-grade spirit stones was an acceptable price.

With the dozens of extra materials he had accumulated from refining tools in the past month, earning fifty middle-grade spirit stones wouldn't be difficult.

The problem was how to purchase the Detoxification Pill.

"If you encounter it at an auction and have enough spirit stones, then buy it."

"If not, then there's no way! We can only leave it to fate!" Chen Ling pondered in his heart.

"Why did someone get poisoned by the venom of the Ink Armor Blood Spider?" Shen Zhen asked with concern.

"A neighbor!" Chen Ling nodded in response.

Hearing that it was a neighbor, Shen Zhen no longer paid attention and added another cup of spiritual tea for Chen Ling, asking him to wait.

He then went downstairs to attend to his business.

Not long after.

"Lian girl, Chen fellow has been waiting for a long time!" Shen Zhen's hearty laughter came from outside the door.

Then two figures entered the room.

Following behind Shen Zhen was a graceful figure, with a beautiful face, wearing a moon-white floral robe.

This woman greeted him with a slight bow, her gaze sweeping over Chen Ling, and said generously, "Fellow Chen, I've kept you waiting."

Chen Ling also stood up and saluted, "Fellow Qin, you're too polite!"

Chen Ling's gaze swept over the girl's delicate and gentle face, complemented by a well-endowed chest, exuding a strong youthful aura.

Shen Zhen smiled and said, "Please have a seat. No need to be too nervous!"

Qin Yelian then sat down beside Chen Ling.

"You two can chat first. There's a lot of work in the shop, and I have to go!" Shen Zhen winked at Chen Ling and walked out of the private room.

[Family Progress: Successfully taking a concubine can earn 40 incense points.]

[Reminder: Marrying the current woman can obtain a deserted spiritual land of over ten mu as dowry, increase family assets, and earn 20 incense points.]

At this time, the panel appeared again.
