Chapter 23 Intermarriage
A group of people had gathered in the second elder's courtyard. All of them had serious expressions and a hint of anxiety between their brows.

Chen An looked carefully and saw Chen Lun, who had helped him get rid of the black nematodes in the spiritual field!

Aren’t these the top ten best farmers in the tribe?
Why are you all here?

When Chen Rui saw Chen An walking into the yard, he quickly waved to him to come over.

"It's just right that Chen An is here. They came to me to talk about the spiritual fertilizer. I was just about to ask someone to call you. Now that you're here, I don't have to make another trip."

Chen Lun, who was standing next to him, saw Chen An coming and couldn't help but look at him.

"Brother, you are really capable. It has been a short time since we last met, but you have already advanced to the fourth level of Qi training and cultivated a first-level middle-grade spiritual field like us."

The other eight people all turned around and looked at this new farming expert with great interest.

Chen An ignored the burning gazes around him and said, "No, I am relying on the Second Elder's care every day. I am just lucky."

Everyone else looked towards the Second Elder.

"Haha, don't try to play tricks on me, this is all due to your own hard work, it's nothing to do with me."

He didn't say anything, but he was smiling from ear to ear, obviously very pleased with Chen An's compliment.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to business."

After a few words of casual chatting, everyone's heavy mood relaxed a little.

"The spiritual fertilizer needed for the mid-level spiritual field is made from the feces of a first-level intermediate monster beast, plus a small amount of spiritual herbs and medicines that are beneficial to the spiritual field."

“But in Qingyun Territory, apart from Qingyun Sect, only the Wang family, the beast-taming family on Shuanghu Mountain, can produce spiritual fertilizer in large quantities.”

"I have already informed them about the spiritual fertilizer in advance. In a few days, the Wang family will be able to deliver the spiritual fertilizer to us."

"You can go get it yourself then."

After the second elder finished speaking, the ten people breathed a sigh of relief.

The rat-attracting liquid used in the last incident of the spirit rats eating the spirits clearly showed signs of involvement by the Wang family. They were worried that the Chen family would become enemies with the Wang family and that they would not be able to obtain the spirit fertilizer, leading to a decline in the quality of their spirit fields.

After hearing from the Second Elder that there was no problem with the spiritual fertilizer, I finally felt relieved.

"Okay, just go back and wait quietly. I will send someone to notify you when the Wang family arrives."

After saying that, the second elder Chen Rui waved his hand and sent everyone away.

After saying goodbye to the other party, Chen An followed the crowd and left the courtyard.

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw Chen Lun coming towards me.

"What's the matter, brother?"

"Hey, Brother Chen An, tomorrow I have to go to Qingyun Market with the Third Elder and several other brothers. As far as I know, you haven't come down the mountain since you started practicing. Do you want to go with me to see the prosperity of the market?"

Chen Lun put his arm around Chen An's shoulders, his tone bewitching.

Chen An frowned slightly: "There are still many things to do in the fields, so I'd better not go."

"Hey, it's boring to stay in the mountains and farm for a long time. Why not go and see the prosperous market with your own eyes? At the very least, it can increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons."

Chen An found this unpleasant to hear. He just wanted to farm and not go anywhere else.

Chen An was about to say no, but his eyes rolled and he grinned, "Brother, you think too highly of me. Last time, the Spirit Devouring Rats destroyed all the spiritual plants in the field. Now I have just obtained a mid-grade spiritual field. How can I have the spare money to go to the market?"

Chen Lun was stunned when he heard this. He had actually forgotten about this. The middle-grade spiritual field he planted was far away and was protected by the formation, so there was naturally no problem.

"I am being reckless. If that's the case, let's do it next time."

"Wait a minute, brother."

Chen An quickly stopped the other person and took out a worn storage bag from his arms.

This is a second-hand item I bought from Chen Zhao. It will be scrapped after one or two months of use at most.

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe, I'm sure you know that I caught Liu Zhen, the spy of the Liu family, and took his storage bag. I got a lot of stuff. There are many useless items in it. I want to ask you to help me sell them in the market and exchange them for spirit stones."

Chen Lun frowned slightly and didn't answer it.

In the past few days, he has accepted no less than three similar commissions, and he is somewhat resistant in his heart.

Chen An saw the other party's expression and said calmly: "One tenth of the spiritual stones obtained will be used as a reward for my clan brothers." Chen Lun hesitated for a moment, but still took the storage bag: "Okay."

After a quick inspection, he was surprised: "This young master of the Liu family is quite wealthy!"

The spiritual plants and spiritual minerals inside are worth at least two hundred spiritual stones.

But Chen Lun didn't know that only a small part of them was obtained from Liu Zhen, and most of the rest were light balls harvested by Chen An, which were extra reward spiritual materials.

"As for the rest, help me exchange them for spirit seeds. The more types the better. If there are any left, please bring back books on cultivating spirit plants, as well as other strange stories and the like."

Chen An smiled and said, "If my brother has the means to sell it at a price higher than the market price, the excess will all belong to you."

Chen Lun, who was originally reluctant, his eyes lit up after hearing this.

"It's just a small matter, leave it to me!"

After the matter was settled, Chen An returned to his residence with satisfaction.

There is not much use for keeping these spiritual materials, so it is a good opportunity to sell them under the pretext of Liu Zhen.

If Chen Lun went to the market alone, he would still be worried, but with the third elder and several clansmen accompanying him, there shouldn't be any big problems.

But isn't this usually the job of the Fourth Elder? Why did it become the Third Elder's job?

After a night.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Chen An was holding the formation jade token. He had just finished practicing this morning when he sensed someone wandering outside.

I thought he was sent by the Second Elder to get the spiritual fertilizer.

"So fast?"

He happily left the formation, only to find that it was Chen Dazhuang.

"Brother Da Zhuang, what do you want from me?"

Chen Dazhuang looked haggard and anxious. He came up and grabbed Chen An's arm: "Chen An, Zhilan Zhilan is getting married!"

Chen An was stunned when he heard this, but he was not surprised.

It's normal for men to get married when they are old enough and women to get married when they are old enough.

However, I have never heard of Chen Zhilan making friends with a Taoist partner, so this incident was a bit sudden.

After asking carefully, I found out.

It turned out that ever since the last incident of the spirit-eating rat, the issue of the rat-attracting liquid had caused discord between the Chen and Wang families, and it almost led to a bigger conflict.

But the Wang family holds the spiritual fertilizer, which is related to the Chen family's spiritual field.

The head of the family, Chen Qing, thought about it again and again. In order to prevent similar things from happening again, he discussed with the elders and decided to marry the fourth elder's daughter, Chen Zhilan, to the Wang family in an attempt to connect the two families more closely.

"What is Zhilan's attitude?" Chen An pondered for a moment and cast an inquiring look at Chen Dazhuang.

"Alas, she has been on a hunger strike for several days. She is getting thinner day by day. I am so sad."

Chen Dazhuang sighed, clenched his fists, beat his chest and stamped his feet, his expression filled with grief and anger.

When Chen An saw this scene, he was shocked.

Looking at the situation, could it be that the two of them made a three-year agreement, and then Chen Dazhuang was motivated to go out and gain experience, and by chance he got a chance, and after becoming stronger, he returned with an arrogant attitude and took Chen Zhilan back?
What a bloody plot!

Chen An shook his head. He had no way to deal with this matter.

"Let's stop talking for now. Come with me to persuade Zhilan to at least eat something." Chen Dazhuang grabbed Chen An's arm and ran all the way, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not.

Qigong practitioners cannot practice fasting. If they do not eat for a long time, it may be ok for three to five days, but the body will not be able to bear it for a long time.

But Chen An directly grabbed Chen Dazhuang, and these rough guys definitely couldn't persuade him.

He simply asked Da Zhuang to call over a few female tribesmen of similar age and chat with them for a while.

Less than half a day later, Zhilan's worries were relieved and she finally agreed to eat.
