The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 37: Qin Family's Recruitment (Seeking Readers and Collectors)

Duobao Pavilion, second-floor chamber.

"Chen Ling, you've truly refined a top-grade magical weapon!" Shen Zhenggui's face was filled with surprise.

Although there was only one level of difference between a top-grade magical weapon and a high-grade magical weapon, the power of a top-grade magical weapon was completely incomparable to that of a high-grade magical weapon.

If a Qi Refining stage cultivator possessed a top-grade magical weapon, they would have the strength to battle against a second-level junior demonic beast.

A second-level Refiner was a target pursued by many forces.

A Refiner who could refine top-grade magical weapons would undoubtedly see a rapid increase in their status and wealth in the cultivation world.

Shen, the shopkeeper, looked at the two top-grade magical weapons on the desk and felt his head buzzing. It was truly hard to believe.

Just half a year ago, Chen Ling hadn't even mastered a few Level 3 Forbidden Techniques. In such a short period of time, he was already able to refine top-grade magical weapons.

Chen Ling truly lived up to his expectations.

After clearing his throat, Shen's expression became serious as he said, "Chen Ling, there's some news that I want to share with you in advance."

Chen Ling put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, saying, "Uncle Shen, please go ahead."

On the way here, he saw that many shops on both sides of the market street were closed, giving him a bad feeling.

It seemed that the market was about to undergo a reshuffle!

The vassal families under the Wang family's command would probably move away.

Shen Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "In a while, there might be some uncontrollable situations in the market."

"The Wang family won't easily give up control of the market, but other families are already impatient, so the first clash will come soon."

"The market will probably become unsafe."

"So, the head of the Qin family has decided to move Duobao Pavilion to the Wang family's market. The Qin family naturally hopes that you can also come with us."

"As for the treatment, we will increase it by thirty percent on top of your current position as a Level 2 guest."

"Furthermore, you will be considered a major cultivation target in the future. The Qin family's resources will be tilted towards you, so you don't have to worry about insufficient resources before Foundation Building."

After Shen Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ling with a serious expression.

He had proposed to the family head to marry his legitimate children to Chen Ling and bring him into the Qin family.

Unfortunately, no one was willing to listen to him.

They all believed that Chen Ling was just a four-element mixed spiritual root Refiner and not worthy of marrying into the legitimate branch of the Qin family.

The legitimate branch of the Qin family would only marry disciples of the Qingyang Sect.

Chen Ling was completely out of reach!

If they had listened to him, they wouldn't have to spend so much to win over Chen Ling now.

Chen Ling was surprised to hear this. Although Shen Zhen emphasized the danger of the market, the struggle for control of the market by several families wouldn't overly affect them as low-level independent cultivators.

Moreover, he didn't want to go to the Wang family's market.

As for resources, all he needed to do now was to marry a few more concubines. There was no need to take risks.

After a moment of thought, a helpless expression appeared on his face as he cautiously said, "Uncle Shen, my family already has a wife and children, so I don't plan to go to the Wang family's market."

"But even if I'm in Jinshan Market, I can still refine magical weapons for Duobao Pavilion. There's no need for me to go to the Wang family's market with the Qin family."

"As long as you send the materials over every month, I can come and collect them after a month."

Although his words sounded casual, he completely rejected the possibility of going to the Wang family's market.

He also promised to continue refining magical weapons for Duobao Pavilion.

Of course, there would be risks in traveling between the two markets.

But this was his bottom line.

As for whether Duobao Pavilion could accept it, that was not something he could consider.

Although Shen Zhen had treated him well, he had also done his best to refine magical weapons for Duobao Pavilion.

And going to the Wang family's market would put his life and fortune at stake.

He absolutely wouldn't do such a dangerous thing!

After pondering for a while, Shen Zhen picked up the teacup, took a few sips of the spiritual tea, and eased the slightly awkward atmosphere. He smiled and said, "Don't rush to refuse this matter for now. Let me go back and discuss it with the family head, and then I will contact you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Shen!" Chen Ling clasped his hands and said.

He had already made up his mind not to go to the Wang family's market.

Of course, he couldn't directly refuse Shen Zhen's kindness either.

The two chatted for a while before Chen Ling left the Duobao Pavilion with new materials and his reward.

"Let's go to the Wanbao Tower first, and then buy Fire Yang Grass and other supplies."

This trip to refine eight magical artifacts earned him eighty-two medium-grade spirit stones and one top-grade magical artifact, which brought him some peace of mind.

For now.

The best situation would be to first obtain the second-level guest certification from the Wanbao Tower.

Then, purchase the second-order detoxification pill to completely remove the Ink Armor Spider venom from Li Yourong's body.

And then marry Li Yourong into the sect!

Moreover, with the identity of a second-level guest of the Wanbao Tower, he would have an additional layer of security in the upcoming market reshuffle.

Being able to have the powerful force of the Refiner's Association endorse him, even the Qingyang Sect would not dare to easily provoke him!

Soon, they arrived at the Wanbao Tower.

After being led upstairs by the attendant, they quickly met with the steward, Li Jian.

"Greetings, Steward Li!" Chen Ling clasped his hands in a salute.

Li Jian personally poured spiritual tea for Chen Ling and smiled kindly, saying, "Is Chen Dao Friend here to sell magical artifacts this time?"

The several magical artifacts that Chen Ling sold last time were of good quality and had already been sold out!

After drinking a sip of spiritual tea, Chen Ling shook his head and said, "Steward Li, I came here this time to inquire about the procedures for becoming a second-level refiner in the Refiner's Association."

"Second-level refiner?"

Li Jian was taken aback when he heard this, but then his eyes lit up and he immediately congratulated him with clasped hands, saying with a smile, "Chen Dao Friend is already able to draw eighth-level prohibitions, which is truly commendable!"

It should be noted that the difficulty of breaking through from a seventh-level prohibition to an eighth-level prohibition is no less than that of a Qi Refining cultivator breaking through from Foundation Building.

For a refiner to successfully refine an eighth-level prohibition, not only does it require a huge amount of resources, but more importantly, it requires the refining technique and the acquisition of the eighth-level prohibition.

For example, when Chen Ling was dealing with the Thunderwood Sword, if he hadn't combed the thunder power on the Thunderwood with the Spiritual Flame, he would never have succeeded!

And this cannot be done without a high-grade technique.

"You are already a first-level refiner, so there is no need for any other procedures to become a second-level refiner. You just need to participate in the assessment and successfully refine a top-grade magical artifact within the specified time."

Li Jian continued.

"I wonder when the assessment for second-level refiners will take place?" Chen Ling asked.

"The assessment for second-level refiners takes place every two months, and the next one will be in ten days," Li Jian said with a smile.

"Alright, then I will come back to participate in the assessment in ten days!" Chen Ling nodded.

"As long as Chen Dao Friend becomes a second-level refiner, I hope you can also become our second-level guest at the Wanbao Tower," Li Jian took the opportunity to say.

As a steward, developing guests was also his main task.

Chen Ling smiled and asked, "It's still early to talk about becoming a second-level guest. But I would like to ask, what benefits does a second-level guest of the Wanbao Tower enjoy?"

"As a second-level guest of the Wanbao Tower, the benefits will be several times greater than those of a first-level guest. At the same time, there will be a large number of additional benefits, such as providing high-level refining techniques, a comfortable and safe refining environment, and even the possibility of having a dual cultivation partner!"

Li Jian introduced with a smile.

In other words, becoming a second-level guest would come with many benefits!

Chen Ling chuckled a few times. Such good benefits did make him tempted.

But they were not a welfare institution, so how could they not have other conditions?

However, he didn't continue to inquire for the time being. Everything would depend on whether he could pass the assessment for second-level refiners in ten days.

After bidding farewell to Li Jian, he left the Wanbao Pavilion.
