The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 59: Practicing the Spirit Prohibition Technique (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The layout of the courtyard was similar to the original one, with the addition of two side rooms on each side.

The rooms were also clean and tidy, indicating that Shen Zhen had already had them cleaned.

In the main hall, He Yunxiu poured a cup of spiritual tea for Shen Zhen and went to clean the rooms.

The other three women also chose their own rooms and took care of themselves.

"Uncle Shen, the batch of magical instruments you gave me last time may be delayed for a few more days!"

Watching his wives and concubines happily busy themselves, Chen Ling's mood also relaxed a lot.

The situation here, how should I put it, was much better than the market.

"Well, this matter is not urgent. The recent battle in the market has just ended, and both the various Foundation Building families and the scattered cultivators have suffered significant casualties."

"In addition, with the arrival of the Metallurgical Alliance and its affiliated Foundation Building families in Jinshan Market, the prices of magical instruments here are likely to fall!"

"We should focus on quality rather than quantity!"

Shen Zhen sighed and said helplessly.

"Uncle Shen, didn't you say that the people from the Metallurgical Alliance will leave?"

Chen Ling frowned. He wouldn't inquire about matters that had nothing to do with him.

But if the Metallurgical Alliance stayed, the prices of magical instruments in the market would really plummet, which would definitely have a significant impact on him.

If the prices of magical instruments dropped, his income would also decrease.

"Well, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send one away!"

"This time, thanks to the help of the Metallurgical Alliance's Patriarch Jin, the Wang family was able to keep control of this area in Jinshan Market."

"Patriarch Jin of the Metallurgical Alliance fought against the Gold Core cultivator from the Qingyang Sect and did not fall behind."

"And Wang Yun, the talented female sword cultivator of the Wang family, with her late Foundation Building cultivation, fought against a mid Foundation Building cultivator and a late Foundation Building cultivator from the Gu family. In the end, she even killed the late Foundation Building cultivator, Gu Jing, and severed one of the arms of Gu Jin, who was at the mid Foundation Building stage."

"Only then did the Gu family have to retreat!"

"But in my opinion, how could the Metallurgical Alliance be so kind?"

Shen Zhen's face, which was full of wealth, furrowed his brows.

"Uncle Shen, is that true?" Chen Ling asked in surprise.

He didn't care who ruled the market.

For someone like him who made a living by his craftsmanship, the most important thing was a stable environment.

As for spiritual stones, it was just a matter of earning more or less.

Surviving was never a problem.

Shen Zhen licked his dry lips, picked up the teacup, took a sip of spiritual tea, and slowly said,

"The Metallurgical Alliance is ambitious. In my opinion, it's unlikely that they would risk a full-scale war with the Qingyang Sect just for the sake of a deceased Gold Core cultivator's face."

"It's probably all for the sake of the cracked gold vein!"

Chen Ling was stunned when he heard this, but he realized that it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

"We can't control all of that. Chen nephew, you settle down here first, and we can think about other things later!"

"If there's anything, just send me a message. I'll be living in the neighboring courtyard!"

Shen Zhen got up, patted Chen Ling's shoulder, and then bid farewell and left.

...

At night, He Yunxiu cooked a sumptuous dinner for everyone to celebrate moving into the new house.

Chen Ling also opened a jar of new spiritual wine.

The aroma of various dishes filled the dining table, accompanied by the mellow fragrance of the spiritual wine, making people's mouths water.

The family chatted and laughed.

Outside, the evening was cold and clear. Inside the Chen family's hall, the family sat around the table, and the warm dishes, illuminated by the sparkling light of the crystal chandelier, appeared particularly warm and cozy.

After experiencing the thrilling war last night, the family cherished this peaceful and comfortable environment even more!

...

After dinner, everyone went about their tasks.

Qin Yelian and Li Yourong occasionally glanced at Chen Ling, wondering whose room he would go to at night.

Chu Yuxiao's belly was already noticeably bulging, and He Yunxiu had to take care of the little peace, so they weren't too concerned about where Chen Ling would sleep.

But after playing with Little Ping'an for a while, Chen Ling walked towards the practice room that He Yunxiu had tidied up.

Today, he had gained 20 points of incense value, so he decided to use them up first.

Training room.

The entire space is several times larger than the training rooms in the market.

What surprised him the most was that there was a small earth fire array arranged in the room.

On the ground near the south wall, there was a charred pit, about three meters long and wide.

There was a sealing array on the pit, and as long as the spell was recited, the seal would open.

Chen Ling could use the earth fire to refine artifacts through this pit.

"Uncle Shen didn't tell me the incantation to activate this earth fire array!"

Chen Ling said in a low voice.

Perhaps he forgot.

The Qin family had just experienced a big battle and suffered significant casualties.

Shen Zhen was also busy and worried about many things in the future.

Forgetting this small matter was normal.

Except for this earth fire pit, the entire room was arranged according to Chen Ling's training habits by He Yunxiu.

A small desk and a cushion were placed in the east, and there was nothing else.

Chen Ling sat cross-legged on the cushion and opened the attribute panel.

Incense Value: 22.

"22 incense values. Should I use the Nine Transformation Spirit Flame Art, Spiritual Roots, or Basic Spiritual Prohibition Technique?"

Chen Ling pondered.

The proficiency of the Nine Transformation Spirit Flame Art was already enough to match his current Qi Refining seventh layer cultivation.

And the spiritual energy here was already quite abundant, so improving his spiritual roots would also greatly increase his cultivation speed.

However...

Chen Ling thought that with the arrival of the Alchemist Alliance, the prices of ordinary magical artifacts in the market would definitely plummet.

But high-quality rare magical artifacts and spiritual artifacts might not be affected much.

After weighing the options, he decided to first cultivate the "Basic Spiritual Prohibition Technique" he obtained from the Qin family head.

Then, he took out the "Basic Spiritual Prohibition Technique" from his storage bag and carefully read through it.

This technique recorded dozens of basic spiritual prohibitions from level one to level three, containing spiritual patterns ranging from over a hundred to three hundred.

For Chen Ling, who had just reached the Qi Refining seventh layer, he could only cultivate the first-level spiritual prohibition.

Although his mana was much stronger than an ordinary Qi Refining seventh layer cultivator, constructing over a hundred spiritual patterns and condensing them into a spiritual seal in one go was already his limit.

Compared to the construction of magical prohibitions, the difficulty of spiritual prohibitions not only lay in constructing and drawing more spiritual patterns but also required the cooperation of spiritual flames to condense the spiritual patterns into spiritual seals and then integrate them into spiritual artifacts.

But he had not yet comprehended the "Basic Spiritual Prohibition Technique" and couldn't improve it through skill points.

Although both magical prohibitions and spiritual prohibitions were constructed from spiritual patterns, the difference in quantity and variety made the difficulty of the two vastly different.

Fortunately, through skill points, Chen Ling not only had a solid foundation in spiritual patterns but also had a spiritual sense that was far stronger than an ordinary Qi Refining seventh layer cultivator, and it was even comparable to a Qi Refining ninth layer cultivator.

His control over his own spiritual power and spiritual flames had reached an extremely pure level.

...

"Condense!"

"Condense!"

After a stick of incense, Chen Ling began to try to condense the most basic first-level flame spiritual seal.

The spiritual energy in Chen Ling's hand surged and continuously poured into the spiritual board, carving spiritual patterns.

At the same time, with the roaring spiritual flames, the spiritual patterns on the spiritual board quickly condensed and formed a spiritual seal.

Puff!

When he was close to drawing a hundred spiritual patterns, the spiritual board burst open.

Failure!

Chen Ling's face showed no signs of disappointment.

He opened the attribute panel.

In the skills column, the "Basic Spiritual Prohibition Technique" had appeared.

"Basic Spiritual Prohibition Technique" (Entry: 2/100) (+).
