Chapter 55 Chen Qing builds his foundation (Please read on!)
The fruit melts in your mouth.

The next moment, vast and majestic spiritual power flowed through his limbs and bones like a rushing river.

Chen An practiced the Nine Revolutions of Samsara, and the eight clouds in his dantian suddenly became agitated, like a whale swallowing water, quickly refining the surging spiritual power.

In just one month, a fruit was refined!
Chen An suddenly opened his eyes.

"The refining speed is faster, saving most of the time!"

Chen An estimated that if all the remaining seven fruits were refined, he should be close to the ninth level of Qi training.

Immediately, he picked up the second fruit without hesitation and swallowed it voraciously.

Three months later.

Chen An came out of seclusion.

During his training, he received news that the Chen family and the Liu family had a conflict in Black Wind Mountain, and the family summoned several elders to discuss the matter.

Since the last trip to the ruins and cave, the Liu family has been much quieter.

I thought they would cultivate their character, but after just a few years of stable life, they would jump out to cause trouble again.

Chen An shook his head, left the formation, and walked towards the family compound.

He walked into the meeting room.

The head of the family and the other two elders were already in place, and Chen An found a seat and sat down.

Chen Qing told the story in general.

The main issue was that the two families were hunting monsters in Black Wind Mountain and had a conflict over the snatching of a first-level intermediate monster.

In the end, not only did the monster take the opportunity to escape, but several members of the Chen family were also seriously injured by the Liu family.

"Snapped!"

Chen Qing's face turned pale and he slapped the table with his palm, causing it to shake violently.

He said angrily: "The Liu family is really too much of a bully. Elders, who is willing to go with me to ask Liu Shilong for an explanation?"

To rashly and seriously injure a member of the Chen family in public is tantamount to a provocation.

But none of Chen An and the other two responded. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.

The meeting room was eerily quiet.

Chen Rui sighed and said, "Just bear with it. The most important thing right now is your foundation building. Don't let this matter ruin important things."

The old man's time is approaching and his strength is far less than before. It is indeed not appropriate to create trouble at this time.

Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out with the other side, the Chen family will not be able to bear it.

Chen Zishun raised his eyelids and said, "No one except us knows about the old master's affairs. I think we should take advantage of the fact that the Liu family hasn't noticed anything and quickly let another person in the clan build a foundation."

“They may not know!”

Chen An said, "Since the Liu family dared to openly provoke us, they may have discovered something. They collected a large amount of healing pills in a short period of time before, so this matter should not be hidden from them."

"But the other party only seriously injured one member of the clan, which means that they are probably just guessing that the old man was injured and don't know the truth. They are just testing our attitude."

Chen Qing nodded slightly, and his angry eyes gradually calmed down:
"That makes sense, but at this critical juncture we cannot show weakness to the enemy and must take countermeasures."

A trace of humiliation flashed across his eyes. After a moment of silence, he turned to Chen Zishun and said, "Second Elder, you will stay in the market for the time being and try to suppress the Liu family's shops as much as possible. You can do so at any cost. You must make the Liu family suffer some losses. Since we can't do it easily, let's engage in a business war with them to distract their attention first."

Chen An's expression froze and he understood what Chen Qing meant.

Chen Qing is about to build his foundation, and he cannot let the Liu family see any clues at this critical moment, otherwise the other party will definitely jump out to make trouble again, affecting the foundation building and the loss will outweigh the gain.

At this moment, we should first concentrate the few remaining resources in the clan and distract the other party's energy in the market town in order to draw attention to the foundation building.

"That's fine, but there are very few resources left in the clan. If we fight the Liu family again, there will be nothing left." Chen Zishun reminded.

"It's okay. As long as the head of the family successfully builds his foundation, this matter will be easy." Chen Rui said, "Leave the family affairs to us. You just need to concentrate on retreat and strive to achieve perfection in Qi training!"

Chen Qing's face was stern, and he suddenly felt the pressure on him was greater than ever before.

He has a 30% chance of building a foundation, plus the 20% chance of the foundation-building pill, the chance is only half. If the foundation-building fails this time,
Chen Qing shook his head to dispel distracting thoughts. After giving instructions on clan affairs, he turned around and left with a resolute look.

After that, they did not stay any longer and left the meeting room one after another.

Chen An did not return to the cave, but came to the courtyard where he used to live.

The two jade pines at the gate of the courtyard are lush and green. Even though they have been rarely cared for in the past two years, the two trees are no worse than in previous years.

That year, not far from the door, he captured Liu Zhen with his own hands. He can still remember it vividly now.

He turned around and followed the path up the mountain, looking towards the foot of the mountain. He thought of Chen San who had been expelled to the mortal town by Chen Qing. He wondered how that guy was doing now.

Chen An chuckled, took out a top-grade magic sword, and dug out the taproots of the two trees.

The number of monks in the family has increased in the past two years, and this small courtyard can no longer be left empty, but he plans to transplant these two trees.

Chen An took some effort to transport the jade pines back to the entrance of the cave, replanted them, and performed several soul-infusing techniques to prevent them from running out of spiritual energy.

At the foot of Yunwu Mountain.

A ball of light emitting a sinister black aura swayed and landed in the Chen family's mortal town.

"Why are they all mortals? There's not even a monk. Time is running out. We have to find a monk quickly."

"Hmm? There's a cultivator at the third level of Qi training over there."

The ball of light identified a direction and headed for it. After a while, it arrived above a luxurious mansion, circled around and then flew directly into the courtyard.

In a quiet room.

Chen San, sitting upright on the mat, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with confusion.

Feeling the thin spiritual energy around him, he sighed helplessly.

After being demoted to the town, he lived quite well in the town with his identity as a cultivator. However, there were no resources and no spiritual veins to support him. His cultivation level had remained at the fourth level of Qi training, and his progress was extremely slow. He was always thinking about how to return to the mountains.

As for being a casual cultivator, he didn't dare to do that without the permission of the patriarch.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly frowned and noticed something unusual.

"Who?"

"He's a little old, but his body is still functioning well."

A black ball of light suddenly appeared above his head. Before Chen San could react, he felt something penetrate into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Then he felt a sharp pain deep in his soul, his vision went dark, and he fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen San woke up slowly.

"Chen family?"

"Chen San" sorted out the memories that were devoured in his mind, an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a dark look was revealed in his eyes.

"Qingyun Sect would never have thought that I didn't escape at all, but was right under their noses!"

half year later.

Cloudy mountain top.

Chen Qing's eyes sparkled, and his whole body was full of aura, as if he had already perfected his Qi training.

He looked at Old Master Chen across from him and said, "I'm ready."

A gratified smile appeared on Old Master Chen's much older face, and he nodded and said, "Take the foundation-building pill when you are ready. I will go outside to protect you."
