The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 28: Taking a Concubine and Qi Refining Fifth Level (Seeking to Continue Reading and Collect)

Three days passed in the blink of an eye!

In the afternoon, Qin Yelian arrived at the Chen family under the escort of Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen was somewhat surprised to see that Chen Ling had only invited one guest.

Considering Chen Ling's current status and position, this shouldn't be the case!

But thinking that Chen Ling was an honest and low-key person, Shen Zhen didn't think much of it.

After a simple congratulations and a few glasses of wedding wine, Shen Zhen took his leave.

Li Yourong went back to her room early to suppress the poison in her body.

Although there weren't many people in Chen Ling's family, the atmosphere was joyful.

He Yunxiu was virtuous and generous, while Chu Yu was sincere and innocent. They both welcomed Qin Yelian's arrival.

Under their arrangement, the entire courtyard was beautifully decorated.

Red lanterns, paper-cut window decorations, and so on.

It was filled with a festive atmosphere.

...

At night.

Inside the room, Chen Ling was somewhat drunk. Since crossing over to this world, he had always been cautious and careful in everything he did.

He rarely drank alcohol and had never imagined that he would be so carefree today.

Qin Yelian blushed and lowered her head shyly as she lifted the red veil. She glanced at Chen Ling with a gentle gaze.

Under the shining crystal chandelier, she became even more enchanting and beautiful.

"Wife, we should rest!" Chen Ling suddenly became spirited.

Qin Yelian looked at Chen Ling, her face blushing, and she pinched her clothes corner. She coquettishly said, "Why did you drink so much alcohol!"

Amidst her shyness, there was a hint of temptation. She glanced at him seductively and then lowered her head, no longer looking at Chen Ling.

A surge of impulse rose in Chen Ling's heart as he grabbed Qin Yelian's hand.

Qin Yelian trembled, and her fair and delicate face turned hot.

Chen Ling directly pulled her into his embrace.

...

The night grew late, and the moonlight shone into the room like frost.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, creating a scene of spring.

On the bed, two figures embraced each other.

Qin Yelian was covered in sweat, lying contentedly in Chen Ling's arms, her sleepy eyes half-open.

"Now that I'm with you, I'll take care of the family. Although the few acres of spiritual fields I have are located on the outskirts of the city, there are members of my Qin family living nearby. As long as we purchase defensive formations, there won't be any safety issues."

"I'm thinking about how to make use of it!"

"Plus, with the income from your pill refining, it should be enough for our cultivation expenses!"

Qin Yelian's voice was gentle, like a whisper in the Wu dialect, her face filled with anticipation for the future.

Chen Ling nodded and gently stroked Qin Yelian, smiling. "There's no rush for this, we'll take it slowly!"

Qin Yelian said a few more words before slowly falling asleep.

Chen Ling immediately opened the attribute panel.

"Not only did I obtain 40 incense value, but the speed of condensing incense value has also increased!"

Chen Ling's face was filled with joy.

He then opened the family members' information.

Divine Ability: None

【Family Sense of Belonging: 81%, contribute incense value every three days.】

Qin Yelian's sense of belonging reaching 81% was somewhat unexpected for him.

However, this was naturally a good thing, indicating that Qin Yelian had a gentle and kind-hearted nature and already regarded this place as home.

She couldn't be like those demonic sisters, crab woman, or country girl!

"Let's add a bit more tomorrow!"

Chen Ling thought for a moment, yawned, and turned over to embrace Qin Yelian.

...

The next morning.

Chen Ling sat quietly in the cultivation room, feeling refreshed.

Thinking back to the wedding night, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face. Hehe!

Originally, he thought Qin Yelian would be somewhat dominant, but that was just an appearance.

In fact, deep down, she was just like Yunxiu and the others, still a traditional woman. Once she got married and started a life, she would respect her husband and follow him.

"There's no time to waste, I need to quickly improve the Green Flame Decision."

Chen Ling closed his eyes and focused his divine sense on the light spot in the upper left corner of his field of vision, opening the attribute panel.

Added one point to the "+" after the Green Flame Decision.

Boom!

As if a vast and pure flame spiritual energy suddenly appeared out of thin air, it poured into his body.

Surging through the meridians and gathering in the spiritual acupoints.

As this vast spiritual energy circulated throughout his body, Chen Ling felt like he was immersed in a raging flame, his whole body boiling.

He felt an intense pain all over.

But his eyes were filled with a calm and joyful expression.

He knew clearly that this was the realm of spiritual power turning into flames, a sign that the Green Flame Decision had entered the proficient stage.

Chen Ling focused on operating the Green Flame Decision, waiting for the violent spiritual power in his body to gradually calm down.

He felt a refreshing sensation throughout his body, as if he were drinking ice-cold sour plum soup on a hot summer day.

His spiritual acupoints expanded.

And during this process, seven more spiritual acupoints opened up.

The total number of spiritual acupoints in his body reached fifty-three.

"I finally reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining!"

Chen Ling, sitting cross-legged on the cushion, opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a hint of joy appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This time, he consumed 43 incense values to add points to the Green Flame Decision. After the proficiency of the Green Flame Technique reached the proficient level, his cultivation speed increased several times.

This allowed him to open seven spiritual acupoints and enter the fifth layer of Qi Refining.

It took a whole incense stick's worth of time for his excited mood to gradually calm down.

Looking at the incense value returning to zero, Chen Ling shook his head and muttered to himself, "Still not enough!"

Now that he had reached the fifth layer of Qi Refining, he could refine seventh-grade, and even possibly eighth-grade, forbidden techniques.

In other words, top-grade magical artifacts.

The power of top-grade magical artifacts was no lower than that of the early stage of Foundation Building.

Only cultivators in the later stage of Qi Refining could control them.

"The 'Forty-Eight Refining Techniques' is still in the preliminary stage. To master the seventh-grade forbidden technique, I'm afraid I need to reach the preliminary level!"

Chen Ling thought to himself.

And at this moment, to his surprise, a new skill appeared in the skill column.

Spirit Flame Finger (Preliminary: 72/100) (+)

Spirit Flame Finger was a secret technique that came with the practice of the Green Flame Decision.

Originally, he hadn't practiced it much, but unexpectedly, as the proficiency of the Green Flame Decision rapidly increased, the proficiency of the Spirit Flame Finger also soared.
