The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 56: Chu Gui Seeks Help (Request for Continued Reading)

"These people are crazy!" Li Yourong muttered under her breath.

Outside, dark clouds covered the sky, and a cold wind blew.

With a deafening explosion, the dark red light in the sky above the market completely shattered.

The defensive formation of the market was broken!

Soon after!

Roaring, howling, screaming, killing, pleading, and desperate voices could be heard from time to time.

"Friend Jin from the Metallurgical Alliance, why do you have to get involved in this mess!" A deep voice sounded in the air.

The voice was not loud, but the people in the market seemed to be able to hear it clearly.

"Haha, Wang Jia's ancestor, Wang Yue, and I were old friends. Before he passed away, he had already anticipated this situation. He entrusted me to help the Wang family and told me not to waste my breath. Let's show our true strength!" Another old voice sounded.

Then came the sound of rumbling!

Chen Ling was surprised. These two people were obviously high-ranking forces from both sides, most likely Gold Core cultivators.

It seemed that Wang Jia's ancestor was also a cunning strategist, leaving behind many tricks even after his death.

The competition for sect resources had become so fierce!

But what he needed to do now was to protect his family and ignore everything else!

He could clearly feel that there were scattered cultivators sneaking up to the door from time to time, but they quickly retreated.

It seemed that they were deterred by the pressure released by the Golden Ink Armor Sword Spider.

"These people are fortunate not to have completely lost their sanity!"

A cold light flashed in Chen Ling's eyes. Whoever dared to break in, he dared to kill!

"Husband, have you reached the late stage of Qi Refining?" Li Yourong suddenly noticed the aura emanating from Chen Ling and asked in surprise.

Chen Ling nodded and smiled, saying, "It's all thanks to Madam's spiritual body!"

He didn't intend to hide his cultivation level from his family. After all, they had been cultivating together for many years, and it was impossible to hide it.

Through dual cultivation, Li Yourong's seductive fire spirit body had visibly improved his cultivation.

Li Yourong blinked her eyes, looking at Chen Ling with a smile that was not a smile, her face blushing. If the situation weren't critical, she would have... in her own bed tonight.

Although she was somewhat puzzled, they were both cultivating together, so why was Chen Ling progressing so much faster than her?

But when she thought about the situation of detoxification, she felt relieved.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Friend Chen, please save me! Please open the door and let me hide inside!" A cry for help came from outside the door.

Chen Ling recognized that it was the voice of his neighbor, the alchemist Chu Gui.

After thinking for a moment, he carefully scanned with his divine sense and confirmed that there were no other cultivators following Chu Gui. Chen Ling held the Flame Thunder Bead in his hand and walked slowly towards the door.

Although Chu Gui and he didn't have much relationship, when he first moved to Yangchun Street, his cultivation level was low and he almost fell into the hands of the female cultivators from Tianxiang Court. It was Chu Gui's accidental shout that allowed him to escape.

Although Chu Gui's actions were purely unintentional, he still felt grateful.

Since he could help him now, he naturally would.

As soon as the door opened a crack, Chu Gui's slightly fat body leaped in like a nimble cat.

Chen Ling immediately closed the door.

Chu Gui looked pale, sat down gasping for breath, and his thumping heartbeat was clearly audible. He looked terrified and muttered, "So many people died!"

Chen Ling remained calm and asked with concern, "Friend Chu, did you encounter a rogue cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Gui trembled all over. "Ah, just now I was hiding at home and saw several suspicious rogue cultivators lurking outside Friend Chen's door. I wanted to come over and warn you, but I didn't expect to be attacked by rogue cultivators. That's why I sought help from you, Friend Chen!"

Chen Ling was slightly taken aback. He naturally didn't believe that Chu Gui would be so noble. Most likely, he was forced to come here because he had no other choice.

At a time like this, Chu Gui still cared so much about saving face, which surprised Chen Ling.

In his opinion, one's life is more important than face, what's the value of face?

He smiled and said, "Friend Chu, come into the hall and have a cup of tea to calm your nerves."

"I apologize for troubling you, Chen friend. As long as I can survive this crisis, I will definitely express my gratitude in the future."

Chu Gui's face gradually returned to calm as he bowed to Chen Ling and said with a smile.

Chen Ling nodded. This guy was the original manufacturer of the market's "Strong Yang Pill." I wonder if he can refine the "Element-Boosting Pill"?

"What's this?"

As soon as he took a step, he saw the Golden Ink Armored Sword Spider lying in the courtyard. Chu Gui's face was full of horror, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Chen Ling actually had a second-order monster beast in his house?

No wonder those sneaky casual cultivators at his doorstep didn't dare to enter.

"Friend Chu, please follow me!" Chen Ling didn't explain either, and said calmly.

This Chu Gui seemed to have reached the late stage of Qi Refining, which could be considered a great cultivator.

But under the pressure of the second-order puppet, he was so weak.

Clearly, he was not good at fighting and was a cowardly person.

Only then did Chu Gui follow behind Chen Ling, walking through the courtyard and arriving at the hall, finally relieved.

Seeing Li Yourong, he quickly bowed and said with a smile, "Greetings, younger sister!"

Seeing the second-order puppet beast in the courtyard, he realized that as long as he held onto Chen Ling's thigh tonight, nothing would happen.

I didn't expect this guy, who always seemed low-key and introverted, to have a second-order puppet hidden in his house.

Looks can be deceiving indeed.

Li Yourong smiled and said, "Friend Chu, your family's pills are not cheap!"

Chu Gui immediately understood and took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag, handing it to Li Yourong with a smile, "This is a Harmonizing Pill with a single pattern, consider it a gift for my younger sister!"

Li Yourong had come and gone many times, and he knew that very well!

Naturally, Li Yourong didn't stand on ceremony and directly put away the pill, smiling and saying, "Thank you, friend Chu!"

"I didn't expect that Friend Chu could refine a Harmonizing Pill with a single pattern?" Chen Ling asked with some surprise.

In his opinion, Chu Gui, a pill refiner who pretended to be someone he's not, was most likely a fraud in the martial world.

He didn't have any real talent or knowledge, but being able to refine a Harmonizing Pill with a single pattern made him look at Chu Gui in a different light.

"Ah, Chen friend, you don't know. I come from a family of alchemists. It's only because my family's fortunes declined that I ended up in such a miserable state!" Chu Gui sighed and said helplessly.

Chen Ling believed this statement, after all, there were very few casual cultivators who were pill refiners.

For a pill refiner to be able to refine a Harmonizing Pill, it requires a large investment of resources.

This was not something a casual cultivator could achieve.

Afterwards, Chen Ling poured a cup of spiritual tea for Chu Gui, and the two of them chatted for a while.

But as the rumbling sound from outside the market continued to fade away, the two stopped talking and focused on the situation outside.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chen Ling sat quietly in the hall, motionless, only spreading his divine sense and carefully paying attention to the outside movement.

In the late night, the chaotic sounds outside gradually dissipated.

Soon, all the sounds disappeared.

At this moment, the market was silent again, which was terrifying.

"Is it over?" Chu Gui asked cautiously.

Chen Ling shook his head. Who should he ask if not him?

He was lucky not to be affected, so why bother about others?

Of course, it couldn't all be attributed to luck.

Tonight, several waves of casual cultivators passed by the door, but they seemed to have felt the pressure from the Golden Ink Armored Sword Spider and hurriedly retreated.
