Chapter 165 Niujia Village

Zhang Tie shook his head, "I don't want to be a bargaining chip."

Chen Tan'er smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her delicate hands. Zhang Tie's affirmative answer made Chen Tan'er feel relieved. Her excitement just now subsided, and her first step had been completed.

She walked to Zhang Tie's side, took out a thin booklet from her bosom, and began to talk to Zhang Tie about the next plan.

"This is the genealogy of the Chen family. After you marry into the family, I will arrange for you to learn some common body-refining techniques. I know that it is difficult for your bloodline to practice, so practicing body-refining techniques is the best way."

Chen Tan'er said without raising her head, her tone becoming lighter, "My brother recently recruited a person with good physical training talent, so you can let him practice with you when the time comes!"

Zhang Tie listened to Chen Tan'er talking non-stop and wanted to interrupt her directly, but when he saw Chen Tan'er's expression, he swallowed the words back.

Zhang Tie had never thought of marrying into the Chen family. He was not the real Li Xuan, so he could not be considered a bargaining chip.

But Chen Tan'er is really pretty!
A woman with excellent talent, appearance and family background was planning the future for you. Zhang Tie couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so he just looked at Chen Tan'er and talked.

"Then the eighteenth child will be named Li Eighteen. This way, we won't have to worry about being persecuted by other members of the tribe!"

Zhang Tie watched Chen Tan'er talking excitedly, but he didn't hear most of the specific content. However, this eighteenth child was a bit too shocking.

Zhang Tie quickly interrupted Chen Tan'er, looking up at her with a look of doubt, "Eighteen children, this is a bit difficult! It's already difficult for us cultivators to have offspring. According to Chen Tan'er, Zhang Tie has to spend half of his day cultivating! Eighteen children, I'm a bit scared!"

Chen Tan'er was stunned when she heard Zhang Tie's words, but then she realized what Zhang Tie meant and blushed instantly. "What are you talking about! These are eighteen servants who have been trained since childhood!"

The more Chen Tan'er thought about it, the angrier she got. Eighteen, did they think she was a prolific sow?
Zhang Tie smiled awkwardly and apologized quickly.

Chen Tan'er pursed her lips, then thought of something, "But we must have offspring. With my talent and your true meaning bloodline, maybe we can give birth to a peerless genius who can satisfy both the true meaning and cultivation!"

Why is it that a genius can achieve both the true meaning and the cultivation of immortality at the same time? Zhang Tie has been here for so long, and he knows about both of these things, but he has seen many people who can cultivate the true meaning and cultivate immortality at the same time.

"What are you thinking about?" After Chen Tan'er knew that Zhang Tie agreed to marry into her family's family, her attitude towards him changed a lot, and she didn't even notice it.

"Oh, nothing, I was just wondering, is there no one in Tianmo City who can comprehend the true meaning and practice at the same time?" Zhang Tie came back to his senses from his contemplation.

Chen Tan'er explained, "This is very simple. People who can comprehend the true meaning are all of special bloodline, and this kind of special bloodline is generally incapable of, or very difficult to, cultivating immortality. This has been the case since ancient times."

"However, not many people study the true meaning. Most people practice visualization, which can also enhance their strength. If you are really interested, you can go to the Tianji Tower to have a look, but you need military merits to enter there."

Seeing that Zhang Tie was interested, Chen Tan'er sat down next to Zhang Tie. The faint fragrance made Zhang Tie's eyes a little dazed.

"Military merit is hard to get. Only those who participated in the Barbarian Demon War can get it. And generally, those who get it have to pay a huge price!"

"For those mortals, it's usually a life!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tie thought of the battle merit token in his arms. This token should represent a battle merit.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.

Zhang Tie looked outside the door and found that it was Niu Er who knocked on Zhang Tie's door. The anxious look on his face was obvious.

Zhang Tie said something to Chen Tan'er, then opened the door and walked out. When Niu Er saw Zhang Tie, he knelt down and said, "My benefactor, please save me!"

“Get up, don’t kneel down to me all the time. If you have something to say, just tell me directly!” Zhang Tie didn’t like people kneeling to him, especially his own people.

If Niu Er had any problems, Zhang Tie would definitely not ignore it if he could help.

"Thank you so much!" Niu Er stood up from the ground and wiped the snot and tears from his face, "Mother, I've been detained!"

"Can you go to Niujia Village with me now? I'm afraid if we go too late, my mother will be gone!" Niu Er was so anxious that he began to speak incoherently.

"Wait for me, we'll be out right away!"

Zhang Tie comforted Niu Er and walked into the room. "I need to go to Niu Village. If you have something to do, please leave first."

"Niujia Village? You want to recruit mortal soldiers? People from our five major families don't have to participate in the war!"

Chen Tan'er thought that Zhang Tie wanted to participate in the Barbarian-Demon War after listening to her explanation of her military exploits. She didn't want Zhang Tie to be blinded by the huge benefits just because he was hot-headed!
Zhang Tie shook his head. He was just helping one person.

Chen Tan'er was still a little worried, "I'll talk to my brother. He has a friend who is very good at body training. I'll ask him to help you!"

"Chen Yu's powerful friend? Isn't that me?" Zhang Tie recalled what happened before. He didn't expect that his presence in Chen Tan'er's family was quite prominent!

"Is your friend called Zhang Tie?"

Chen Tan'er's eyes widened slightly, "Do you know each other?"

Zhang Tie smiled and said, "I know him. He's very familiar with me. Don't worry, I will take him with me when the time comes!"

. . .

Niujia Village is at the northernmost end of North City, almost equivalent to the border of North City.

Zhang Tie sat in the carriage borrowed from the Li family, and Niu Er acted as the coachman.

Although Niu Er was young, he had already experienced a war between barbarians and demons and traveled all over the country frequently. He drove the carriage fast and steadily, making Zhang Tie feel as if he was sitting on the bed in the room.

Niu Er waved his hand and kept whipping the horse's butt. The horse, which was already running fast, ran even faster and arrived at Niujia Village in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Tie got off the carriage and saw rows of houses and straight roads at his feet.

"You call this a village?"

Zhang Tie couldn't believe it. The Niujia Village in front of him was far superior to any place outside the North City in terms of houses and roads. It was almost as good as the North City where cultivators were everywhere.

"Yes! It's Niujia Village!" When Niu Er saw Zhang Tie's surprised expression, a slight feeling of pride rose in his heart, but this feeling was quickly suppressed by Niu Er's mother's matter.

"My benefactor, my mother is on the far right side of the village. I want to go take a look first. I will talk to you about the things in Niujia Village later!"
