The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 98: Chu Gui Gets Caught (Please Subscribe)

"The middle-grade spiritual sword exudes a pressure no less than that of a top-grade spiritual sword."

Feeling the pressure emitted by the spiritual sword, Chen Ling had a satisfied expression on his face.

Although it was only a fusion of two fifth-level spiritual restrictions, the materials used for refining were all third-grade.

The actual combat power of the spiritual sword in front of him was not inferior to that of a top-grade spiritual sword.

If Li Yourong could completely refine and control the pure yang fire beads contained within it, its power might be even stronger.

"Let's try its power first!"

Chen Ling put down the spiritual sword and took out a pill bottle from his storage ring, pouring out two second-level Danwen Heqi Pills and swallowing them in one gulp.

After meditating and adjusting for a while to restore his spiritual energy, he opened his eyes, moved his mind, and infused his spiritual energy into the spiritual sword.

"Boom!"

Just as the spiritual energy was injected, a strong flame sword aura suddenly burst out from the spiritual sword.

The sharp flame sword energy swept up to half a zhang high, hissing loudly, like a flame sword dragon.

Chen Ling didn't understand swordsmanship, but with a slight movement of his divine sense, he activated the fire-splitting spiritual restriction on it.

Immediately after, six flame sword energies shot out from the spiritual sword.

"Pu! Pu! Pu!"

Several consecutive crisp sounds were heard.

Six flame sword energies the size of chopsticks flew out, instantly slashing across the opposite wall.

A burst of fiery light erupted, displaying astonishing power.

On the wall, six-inch-long scratches appeared.

"Just this casual strike already has a power no less than that of a Qi Refining late-stage cultivator's attack."

Chen Ling was excited in his heart.

He didn't infuse any spiritual energy just now; it was purely the spiritual sword under the control of his divine sense, making a casual strike.

If Li Yourong were to unleash this attack, the power could be imagined.

"Why hasn't he come over yet? Making such a big commotion in the middle of the night?"

At this moment, Li Yourong's voice transmission came to his ears, as if he was waiting for him to go to sleep.

"I'm going now!"

...

"Middle-grade spiritual sword!"

In the room, Li Yourong held the pure yang spiritual sword and infused a faint spiritual energy into it.

Swish!

The sword body emitted a dazzling fiery red sword aura, extremely dazzling and impactful.

The entire room was bathed in a fiery red light, like scorching hot magma sweeping through.

Li Yourong exaggeratedly covered his mouth, his clear eyes filled with surprise.

"This was specially customized for you. Tomorrow, find some time to test its power."

Chen Ling sat on the rattan bed, smiling and saying.

"There's no need to test it. I just scanned it with my divine sense earlier, and its power is definitely not lower than that of a top-grade spiritual weapon."

"For such a precious spiritual sword, how can I repay you?"

Li Yourong put away the spiritual sword, looking at Chen Ling with a grateful gaze, as if he wanted to devour him with his affectionate eyes.

"If you really want to repay me, I'll be in charge of tonight's activities!"

Chen Ling smirked.

Under Li Yourong's seductive attack, he had never taken the upper hand.

"You shameless!"

Li Yourong blushed, her seductive eyes filled with silk-like tenderness.

...

In the following ten days, due to the matters in Wangjia Fang Market, the time for spring cultivation was temporarily postponed.

Wait until the Qin family members have settled down before proceeding.

As for the matter of spiritual veins, he had entrusted Meng Ping to personally guard it, so there shouldn't be any problems.

At noon on this day, Chen Ling's family was having a meal.

Shen Zhen hurriedly walked in and bowed to Chen Ling, saying with a rushed expression, "Master, something has happened!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling put down his chopsticks and asked, "What happened?"

Based on his understanding of Shen Zhen, it couldn't be a big deal for him to react like this!

He Yunxiu stood up and poured a cup of spiritual tea for Shen Zhen, saying, "Uncle Shen, have a cup of tea first!"

"Ah, Chu Gui has been captured by the Gao family. They said he was selling fake medicine within their territory!"

Shen Zhen took the spiritual tea and took a sip, helplessly saying.

"Chu Gui has been captured!" Chen Ling said somewhat surprised.

According to reason, Chu Gui selling Dragon Tiger Pills was like Zhou Yu attacking Huang Gai, one wanted to fight, the other was willing to take the blow.

How did he get caught?

Shen Zhen's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly, saying, "Most likely, the Gao family is retaliating against us for not selling them magical artifacts. Chu Gui just happened to run into them."

"The Gao family has sent a message, asking us to use three top-grade magical artifacts to redeem him, otherwise they will cripple Chu Gui!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling narrowed his eyes and coldly snorted, saying in a deep voice, "The Gao family really dares to ask!"

"The Gao family relies on having a peak Foundation Building cultivator in their clan, and the sect will not pay attention to these matters, so they dare to act so arrogantly!"

"And this is probably just the beginning, they will definitely continue to cause trouble for us!"

Shen Zhen said in a very low voice.

Chen Ling rubbed his forehead. It was not yet time to break ties with the Gao family. With the Gao family's strength, they were definitely not their opponents.

After all, the Gao family was an old Foundation Building family, and besides their visible strength, they must have other means.

Chen Ling looked helpless. Now they could only consider it as spending money to resolve a disaster.

With his cautious and pragmatic personality, he naturally understood a truth: when you don't have enough strength to crush your opponent, you must remain silent and low-key.

"Of course, whether it's compromising or pretending, we will definitely settle this account!"

Gritting his teeth in pain, he took out three top-grade magical artifacts from his storage ring.

Fortunately, these three were also obtained from the Luo family.

He handed them to Shen Zhen and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Shen, please go to the Gao family and redeem Chu Gui. Don't conflict with the Gao family for now."

With Shen Zhen's experience, he naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

Shen Zhen hurriedly left.

"Husband, if we continue like this, the Gao family will probably take advantage of the situation," Li Yourong frowned slightly, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"Don't worry about this matter, we are already planning to leave this place. It's not worth fighting to the death with the Gao family over this matter," Chen Ling said in a deep voice.

Of course, this statement was mainly for Li Yourong to hear.

With Li Yourong's unwillingness to suffer losses, how could she be willing to be bullied like this?

Seeing Chen Ling's serious expression, Li Yourong could only nod. She also understood that Chen Ling had to consider the safety of the whole family.

He definitely wouldn't act recklessly, but thinking about those three top-grade magical artifacts, she couldn't help but feel heartache.

"Let's not talk about this, let's eat!"

Chen Ling said with a smile on his face.

In his heart, he was calculating that they could only open up new land as soon as possible.

They were not currently a match for the Gao family, so they could only choose to avoid their sharpness for now.

The wives didn't say much either. In their hearts, they unconditionally trusted Chen Ling.

After finishing their meal, the wives busied themselves with their own tasks.

Qing Tang washed the dishes, He Yunxiu took care of the children, and Chu Yu went to wash the clothes for the children.

Chen Ling poured himself a cup of spiritual tea and sat on the wicker chair at the entrance of the hall.

The spring equinox had passed, and the early spring sun was already a bit scorching.

In the courtyard, rows of unknown flowers were lush and green, and the buds were emitting a faint fragrance.

"This damn world, why is it so difficult to cultivate to Foundation Building in peace?"

Chen Ling took a few sips of spiritual tea and looked up at the ever-changing sky, lost in thought.

Afterwards, there would be land reclamation, moving, and subsequent earth fire, one problem after another.
