The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 78: The Dominant Wang Yun (Seeking to Catch Up)

"I have seen the Sect Master!"

Wang Hai stood up and bowed with clasped fists, speaking respectfully.

Chen Ling and Shen Zhen also stood up and bowed with clasped fists, saying, "We pay our respects to the Sect Master!"

Chen Ling was somewhat surprised to find that the Sect Master of the Star Sword Sect was Wang Yun.

It was rumored outside that this woman only had a cultivation level of the late Foundation Building stage, but she had already reached the second realm of the Sword Dao, possessing the strength to easily fight against ordinary Gold Core cultivators.

"Are you the new guest, the Refiner Chen Ling?"

Sitting in the main seat, Wang Yun's beautiful eyes swept over Chen Ling as she spoke.

Although Wang Yun's tone was calm, Chen Ling could feel her gaze like electricity. Even though she only glanced at him lightly, he felt as if he was being stared at by something terrifying, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

Is this the terrifying pressure of a high-level sword cultivator?

Chen Ling quickly composed himself, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Replying to the Sect Master, I am indeed Chen Ling!"

"You are already able to refine spiritual weapons?" Wang Yun asked casually.

Chen Ling felt the overwhelming aura of Wang Yun and the pressure in her words, but he took a deep breath, maintained his composure, and said, "I have just comprehended the first level of spiritual restrictions and luckily refined a low-grade spiritual weapon."

Wang Yun glanced at him with a meaningful look and solemnly said, "I have the method to refine a middle-grade spiritual weapon called the Star Iron Sword, and there are also two sets of materials for refining it."

"If you cannot refine the Star Iron Sword within half a year..."

"The Chen family will compensate the Alchemy Alliance with one million spirit stones!"

After saying this, Wang Yun's tone became unyielding, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"One million spirit stones?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling swallowed hard and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, what does this have to do with my Chen family?"

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Ling decided that he could not agree to this matter, otherwise it would be tantamount to admitting that he killed the Luo brothers.

"Relevance?" Wang Yun stared at him and said indifferently, "With the cultivation level of the Luo brothers, they are indeed not someone you at your level can kill."

"But the incident happened within your spiritual land, so you cannot escape the connection!"

Shen Zhen stood behind Chen Ling, already sweating profusely. Upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically, and he repeatedly sent pleading looks to Wang Hai for help.

But Wang Hai pretended not to see and remained silent.

However, he secretly transmitted his voice, "Sect Master, the people from the Alchemy Alliance have gone too far these days. Many families are already complaining about them!"

Wang Yun quickly transmitted her voice back, "We can only take it step by step. As for Chen Ling's matter, you don't need to worry, I have my own plans!"

Looking at Chen Ling, she said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense. If you cannot refine the Star Iron Sword within five months, hand over one million spirit stones, otherwise, it won't be easy to explain to the Alchemy Alliance."

"Five months!"

Chen Ling remained silent, reluctantly accepting the task. He had only asked a question earlier, and the time limit had already been reduced from half a year to five months.

If he said anything more, considering the strong personality of this woman in front of him, it might be reduced to four months!

Normally, only Refiners at the early Foundation Building stage could refine middle-grade spiritual weapons.

But now that his spiritual consciousness was sufficient, although his spiritual energy cultivation was insufficient, he had the Qinglian Thunderfire to make up for it.

There was still a possibility of successfully refining it within five months.

"Elder Wang, is there any other way?"

After leaving the main hall, Shen Zhen asked Wang Hai in a low voice, looking helpless.

Although Chen Ling's talent in refining tools has been fully demonstrated, it is completely impossible for him to refine a middle-grade spiritual tool within six months, in his opinion.

And it is even more difficult to compensate with one million spiritual stones.

So he can only seek help from Wang Hai.

Wang Hai shook his head, looking helpless, and said, "The master cultivates the true path of my sword, emphasizing that words must be followed, obeying one's heart, everything can be cut, everything can be broken. Since she said so, there is absolutely no room for change."

"Chen Keqing, do your best. If it really doesn't work, you can only plead with her. You can slowly repay the one million later."

"Don't blame the master either. In her eyes, since you can now refine a first-grade spiritual restriction and refine a fifth-grade spiritual restriction within five months, it is only natural!"

"Ah!" Chen Ling sighed. At this point, what else could he say? Would it make a difference?

I didn't expect that this trip to the Star Sword Sect would turn out like this!

But since things have come to this point, there is nothing he can do.

Chen Ling and Shen Zhen also stopped speaking.

After the cloud boat returned to the market, Chen Ling and the others quickly bid farewell to Wang Hai.

Back home, Chen Ling took out more than a dozen magical tools and asked Shen Zhen to arrange for their sale.

Shen Zhen could only understand Chen Ling's situation for now, and he couldn't help much. He could only do his best to manage the spiritual land and not let Chen Ling be distracted.

...

The following days.

Chen Ling rarely paid attention to other matters on the spiritual land.

Most of his time was spent on cultivation and dual cultivation every day, occasionally refining one or two spiritual tools.

After all, he still had to complete the monthly tasks of the Wanbao Tower.

Such a life day after day was inevitably dull, but under the pressure of Wang Yun, the thought of one million spiritual stones made him tremble with fear.

He could only quickly improve his cultivation and refining level.

Fortunately, the spiritual land was now well-organized under the management of Qin Yelian and Shen Zhen.

Not only had all the underground fires been cleared, but Chen Ling also handed over most of the ores he obtained from the Rochi brothers' storage ring to Shen Zhen, except for some second-grade ores that he kept for himself.

He asked Shen Zhen to arrange for the Qin family members to refine magical tools.

At the same time, Qin Wumei had also allocated a lot more second-grade pill patterns for them.

In addition, Chen Ling obtained the pill formula for the Yuan Replenishing Pill from her, and asked Chu Gui to buy materials and try to refine it.

With Chu Gui's years of experience in researching the Dragon Tiger Pill, he quickly got the hang of the Yuan Replenishing Pill.

In less than ten days, he successfully refined a furnace of five one-line Yuan Replenishing Pills.

With an ample supply of the Qi Gathering Pill and Yuan Replenishing Pill, not only did Chen Ling's cultivation steadily improve, but the cultivation of his wives also continued to progress.

Especially Li Yourong and Qing Tang, their progress was the fastest.

Chen Ling soon realized that their Foundation Building was probably on the agenda.

However, there were currently no Foundation Building pills available on the market, and the only channels he could obtain Foundation Building pills from were the Wanbao Tower and the Star Sword Sect.

But it would require a large number of points to exchange for them, and he currently had far from enough points in his hands.

After the Star Sword Sect separated from the Qingyang Sect, the number of Foundation Building pills they had in stock was limited, making it even more difficult to obtain them.

For him, it was more realistic to exchange with the Wanbao Tower.

But he also learned from Li Jian that it would require one thousand points and five hundred middle-grade spiritual stones to exchange for a Foundation Building pill.

Five hundred middle-grade spiritual stones were something Chen Ling could provide.

The problem was the points.

Currently, he only earned 30 points for refining a lower-grade spiritual tool.

In other words, he would have to refine more than 30 lower-grade spiritual tools to accumulate enough points to exchange for a Foundation Building pill.

For him, it wasn't difficult, it would only take two to three months.

But the trouble was that he couldn't find so many second-grade materials to refine spiritual tools in a short time.

And he didn't have so much time to refine spiritual tools while trying to improve his cultivation.

He could only first improve his own cultivation, and then find a way to get Foundation Building pills for them after refining the Star Iron Sword.
