Chapter 26: Ripening
At the innermost table in the square sat Old Master Chen, the head of the family, and other elders.

Chen Qing was overjoyed when he saw the visitor.

"Yu'er, you're finally here. Your great grandfather has been talking about you for a long time."

Chen Yuying bowed and greeted the elders one by one: "Grandson greets great grandfather, father, and all the elders."

Old Master Chen was overjoyed and pulled Chen Yu to sit next to him.

"Yes, in just a few years, you have already reached the fifth level of Qi training. There is hope for building a foundation in the future!"

Chen Yu said in a low voice: "Grandpa, I came back this time not only for the birth of my younger brother, but also for another matter, which is related to the development of the family!"

Old Master Chen's face tensed up, and he asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

Chen Yu did not say anything, but glanced at the noisy crowd in the square.

Seeing this, Old Master Chen knew that this was not the place to talk, so he hurriedly took a few people to a secret room in the Chen family and set up a soundproof formation.

Seeing that the secret room was properly arranged, Chen Yucai said to Old Master Chen: "I got news from the sect that a few casual cultivators found the remains of a foundation-building cultivator's cave when they were hunting monsters in Black Wind Mountain. There are suspected foundation-building pills in it!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Chen, Chen Qing and others were horrified.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is related to the advancement of Qi-cultivating cultivators to the foundation-building stage. Even the Qingyun Sect does not have enough of it, and even fewer can be passed down.

Old Master Chen's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the past.

At that time, he had perfected his Qi training, but was unable to advance to the foundation-building stage. He had no choice but to travel outside in search of opportunities.

Perhaps it was because of his good fortune that he unexpectedly got the news of the Foundation Establishment Pill on the way. After a bloody battle with a group of cultivators, he fought his way out and managed to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage by luck, thus preventing the Chen family from being dislocated.

He knew best how precious the Foundation Establishment Pill was. Plus, he was already old, so for the sake of the Chen family's future, he naturally cared most about this news.

"Yu'er, aren't you afraid that the elders of Qingyun Sect will blame you for leaking the news to the family?"

Old Master Chen looked at Chen Yu, with a hint of worry in his cloudy old eyes.

Chen Qing and the others also reacted from their excitement.

Leaking sect information is no small matter. If it is just a punishment for Chen Yu, but if the other party is really angered, the entire Chen family will not have an easy time.

As for the cave ruins that involve the foundation-building cultivators, even the Qingyun Sect, as the overlord of the Qingyun Domain, will certainly not take it lightly.

Chen Yu looked calm, holding Old Master Chen's arm and said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry. This news had already been leaked when it was passed back to the sect. I believe that other families have already known about it. We must make preparations early."

So, their Chen family is the last family to know about this?

Old Master Chen lost his composure instantly and quickly gave orders: "My Chen family cannot fall behind. The Liu family, the Wang family, and the few old guys in the Xu family are not easy to deal with. We must come up with a way to deal with it."

"Qing'er, you should also select some experts from the clan. The foundation-building pill concerns the future of the clan, so we can't be careless!"

"Yes, Grandpa."

Several people discussed for a long time.

"Dad, I'm going to go see my brother."

on the square.

Chen An and his companions watched Chen Yu and others leave.

"Don't look at me, kid. I'm a disciple of Qingyun Sect. How can you covet me?"

Chen Yuyi picked up the last pheasant leg on the table and put it into his bowl.

Chen An was speechless and ignored the other party.

I just felt that there was something a little strange about the fact that the head of the family and his companions went straight to the top of the mountain when they were halfway through their meal, and I had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.

But judging from their expressions when they left, it shouldn't be a disaster.

Thinking of this, Chen An felt relieved.

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed and left.

Chen An returned home and came to the quiet room.

Looking at the stack of Fire Snake Talismans and Earth Sinking Talismans on the table, I felt a little more at ease.

Even if he was facing a cultivator at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training at this time, the Earth Sinking Talisman would restrain his movements, and the overwhelming Fire Snake Talismans would be thrown at him. I'm afraid that he would be able to ascend to immortality directly.

However, there is still a lot of talisman ink, but the talisman paper is gone. I have to buy some.

The next day.

Chen An found Chen Dazhuang.

When we met Chen Dazhuang, he was in a room in the Third Elders' Courtyard, cooking paper pulp in full swing.

"Are you making talisman paper?" Chen An looked at the room full of strange tools with interest.

Chen Dazhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stirred a large pot with a bamboo pole.

"Yes, the Third Elder gave me this job!"

Chen An walked to a wooden table and picked up a piece of cut first-grade medium-quality talisman paper from several stacks of cut first-grade medium-quality talisman paper.

"Good quality."

It was almost as much as the talisman paper he harvested from growing mulberry trees on the land.

Chen Dazhuang looked quite proud: "Of course not. To be honest, I have learned the true art of making talisman paper from the elder!"

Chen An nodded and picked up three stacks, which had about three hundred sheets.

"Will you sell it? How many spirit stones are these?"

Chen Dazhuang put down the bamboo pole in his hand, walked forward, and looked Chen An up and down.

"Can you draw a first-level mid-grade talisman?"

"I know a thing or two!"

Chen Dazhuang's face flushed and he stared at Chen An for a long time without saying a word.

"You can't take so much. I'll give you a hundred at most."

Chen An smiled and said, "Two hundred, I don't need your discount."

"Who said I'd give you a discount?"

Chen Dazhuang said unhappily: "Two for one spirit stone, a total of one hundred spirit stones!"

Chen An immediately paid the spirit stones and left.

On the way, I stopped by the old courtyard and checked the two jade pines, but did not enter the courtyard.

In the past few months, he has harvested two crops of low-grade spiritual plants. His soul-containing technique, earth-attracting technique and Gengjin sword finger have all been perfected. There is no point in planting low-grade spiritual plants anymore.

A soul-infusing spell was cast on each of the two jade pines, and the green pine needles became densely covered, as thick as clouds and mist.

Through the needle clouds, you can vaguely see a few pine cones hanging on the trees, like inverted pagodas.

After careful care, the pine cones are becoming more and more mature, and then we can harvest another wave of Aoki Kōng.

After taking care of Qing Yusong, when passing by next door, Chen An looked at the tightly closed gate of Chen Fengshuo's house, feeling a little dazed.

Chen Fengshuo, who lives not far from the old courtyard, seems to have not seen Chen An for a long time since the last incident with the soul-eating rat.

Could it be that this guy has changed his nature and stopped farming and started practicing asceticism?
Or did you realize that the bronze ring was a scam and there was no opportunity at all, and you are now reflecting on your mistakes?

Chen An pondered for a moment, went forward and knocked on the door, but no one responded for a long time.

He had an idea and came to the vicinity of the spiritual field.

In Chen Fengshuo's spiritual field, the grains of yellow sprout rice are plump and full, and each plant stands tall and upright, looking like it has been carefully cared for.

Lingtian is well taken care of, so the person shouldn't have any major problems.

Chen An shook his head, thinking that it was just a breakthrough from Chen Fengshuo's recent hard work, and didn't think too much about it.

Returning to the spiritual field, he cast magic to take care of the spiritual plants.

If you count carefully, it has been less than five months since the last sowing, but the spiritual plants in Chen An's spiritual field are already approaching maturity.

I'm afraid it won't be long before we can harvest again, it's a full month earlier!

Chen An's eyes were filled with excitement. After his Soul Condensing Technique was perfected, he accidentally discovered that this spell had improved the quality of several spiritual plants to perfection. If used again, it could actually have the effect of ripening them!
