The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 50: Identity Upgrade (Seeking to Continue Reading and Collect)

Inside the side room, Chen Ling drank Ling Tea with a calm expression.

The market will soon be in chaos.

On one hand, becoming a guest official of the Wanbao Tower is a precautionary measure in case something really happens, providing a reliance.

On the other hand, it is also a way for him to open up a new sales channel to earn spirit stones in the future.

Overall, the profits from selling artifacts to the Wanbao Tower will surpass those from the Duobao Pavilion.

After all, the cultivation of his wives and concubines needs to be improved, and they also need to purchase cultivation techniques from places like the Wanbao Tower.

With his identity as a second-level guest official, he will receive a considerable discount.

Before long, Li Jian entered the side room with a smile on his face and said, "Friend Chen, this is the contract for our Wanbao Tower's second-level guest official. If there are no problems, once you sign it, you will become our Wanbao Tower's second-level guest official."

Chen Ling took the contract and scanned it carefully.

The main content of the contract is as follows:

A guest official's value in the Wanbao Tower is measured by contribution points.

Contribution points can be exchanged for artifacts, cultivation techniques, elixirs, and even insights from higher-level artifact refiners.

At the same time, the Wanbao Tower also provides corresponding security guarantees. Anyone who dares to target a guest official of the Wanbao Tower is equivalent to being an enemy of the Wanbao Tower.

This is what Chen Ling values the most.

Once the market is in chaos, security becomes the most valuable thing!

As long as there is security, other things are not a big problem.

Of course, the Wanbao Tower is not a charity organization and naturally has its own requirements.

As a second-level guest official, the number of artifact refining tasks will increase. Each month, he must refine at least three top-quality artifacts for the Wanbao Tower.

The more artifacts he refines, the more contribution points he will receive.

Other than that, there are no other restrictions.

Chen Ling did not hesitate and directly activated his spiritual power, pressing his handprint on the contract.

Li Jian put away the contract and handed the second-level artifact refiner identity token and guest official identity token to Chen Ling. He congratulated him a few more times and then said sincerely, "Friend Chen, I see that your cultivation level is not high. Do you need to hire cultivators to protect you?"

"If you need, I can find two female cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage for you. You don't need to worry about their strength, just provide them with the resources they need for their usual cultivation."

Chen Ling was slightly surprised when he heard this. There was indeed such a clause in the contract that the Wanbao Tower could provide protection from cultivators, even Foundation Building cultivators.

But it seemed that Li Jian deliberately emphasized that they were female cultivators!

After a brief thought, Chen Ling shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kind offer, but if I need it in the future, I will contact you."

He already had four wives and concubines at home, and resources for cultivation were scarce. He needed to save spirit stones.

If he had enough spirit stones in the future, he could consider this suggestion.

Staying at home for a long time was not a big problem for him.

But his wives and children would always go out for a walk or to buy things.

Having a cultivator at the late Qi Refining stage accompanying them would ensure their safety.

Li Jian nodded. He also saw Chen Ling's potential and intended to build a closer relationship with him.

That's why he deliberately tried to please him.

At this moment, a new prompt appeared on Chen Ling's attribute panel.

[Reminder: Becoming a second-level artifact refiner of the Artifact Refiners Association, your identity and reputation have increased, gaining 30 Incense Value.]

Seeing the prompt, Chen Ling felt delighted. It came at just the right time.

"Manager Li, how much are these five artifacts worth in spirit stones?"

Chen Ling took out five artifacts from his storage bag.

Two were obtained from killing two wandering cultivators, and three were refined using surplus materials from the Duobao Pavilion.

"A total of 132 medium-grade spirit stones!"

After appraising them, Li Jian smiled and said to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling nodded and then purchased a second-level Poison Refining Pill and a batch of 60-year-old Fire Sun Grass.

It cost a total of 65 medium-grade spirit stones.

The price of the second-level Poison Refining Pill was 50 medium-grade spirit stones, but with his identity as a second-level guest official, he got a discount of three medium-grade spirit stones.

And this batch of 60-year-old Fire Sun Grass would be enough for their cultivation for three to four months.

Although most of the toxins in Li Yourong's body have been eliminated, Chen Ling still decided to buy the Detoxifying Pill for safety reasons.

"Money in one hand, goods in the other."

After a few more pleasantries, Chen Ling left Wanbao Tower.

...

After leaving Wanbao Tower, Chen Ling, being cautious, went to the Ling Food Store and bought a batch of food.

"Every time the spirit stones are not enough!"

After leaving the store, Chen Ling touched the spirit stone bag on his body and shook his head helplessly.

Originally, there were more than twenty medium-grade spirit stones left, plus the one hundred and thirty-two medium-grade spirit stones just obtained from Wanbao Tower, which could be considered a considerable asset.

But in the blink of an eye, seventy-five pieces were spent.

The remaining amount was not enough to buy the remaining Qi-Enhancing Pills.

"I'd better go back to refining tools quickly!"

Chen Ling, who originally planned to buy some gifts for his wives and concubines, thought about it and decided to do it next time!

Now he still has more than ten materials left from the original refining method of Duobao Pavilion.

Once these are used up, it may be a bit troublesome without processed tool embryos.

But fortunately, he became a second-level guest of Wanbao Tower.

In the future, he can also earn spirit stones by accepting tasks from Wanbao Tower.

...

When he returned home, it was already noon.

The whole family was waiting for him, and they hadn't started eating yet.

Although it was mid-autumn season, the noon sun was still scorching, shining in the courtyard, creating shimmering circles of light and shadow.

At the edge of the courtyard, Xiaoping'an held a meat bun in one hand and a broken branch from a flower pot in the other, chasing after a dragonfly that appeared out of nowhere.

Eating and playing at the same time, he was extremely happy!

Seeing him playing so seriously, Chen Ling didn't pay attention to him and walked straight into the hall.

"Husband, how did it go?"

He Yunxiu, who was sewing a cotton hat for Xiaoping'an, put down her needle and thread and asked anxiously.

Second-level Refiner.

This was her father's unfulfilled wish.

Although the He family was a family of refiners, they were only slightly higher than independent cultivators in terms of refining.

They had never had a second-level refiner before.

In her opinion, it wouldn't be so easy for Chen Ling to pass the assessment.

"I made it!"

Chen Ling glanced at his four wives and saw the anticipation in their eyes. He smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, He Yunxiu was first stunned, then a look of relief and pride appeared on her face.

Chu Yu and the other three also had joyful expressions.

A second-level refiner's status was not lower than that of a Foundation Building cultivator.

This also meant that their stable life would have further guarantees in the future.

"Husband, you really became a second-level refiner?" Li Yourong looked somewhat surprised.

Not to mention the other three, she had almost been dual cultivating with Chen Ling every day these past few days, and it seemed that Chen Ling's progress was even faster than her with a spiritual body.

"Of course!" Chen Ling said confidently, taking out the second-level refiner identity token and the Detoxifying Pill from his storage bag and handing them to her. "This is the second-level Detoxifying Pill. After taking it, I will help you cultivate and detoxify. The remaining poison should be completely eliminated!"

"Second-level Detoxifying Pill? How much does it cost in spirit stones?" Li Yourong took the pill bottle, looking surprised!

She was even more moved in her heart!

"Spirit stones are meant to be spent, you don't need to worry about it!" Chen Ling said with a bold tone, showing the demeanor of a head of the family.

"Let's eat first! Open a jar of spirit wine to celebrate today!"

Looking at the table full of food, Chen Ling seemed to hear his stomach growling and hurriedly said.

He Yunxiu also set the tableware, and Qin Yelian brought the spirit wine.

Then, the whole family had a joyful meal in a harmonious atmosphere.
