Chapter 76 The water in the Chen family is very deep!
By the time Xu Yuanlang realized it, it was too late.
He swung his ruler to cut off the ghost face vine under his feet, but the next moment, two more climbed up.
In less than two breaths, vines wrapped around his body, binding him tightly and making him unable to move at all.
Seeing that his opponent had no strength to fight back, Chen An smiled lightly and activated the Thousand Blades Technique. Hundreds of wind blades suddenly flew out from his body and crushed the ghost face vine that was blocking him.
Yunwu Mountain was his territory. While he was waiting for Chen Qing, he had buried no less than ten seeds of the Ghost Face Vine nearby. He took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness and took him down in one fell swoop.
"Senior Xu, what do you think? Do you want to fight?" Chen An looked at Xu Yuanlang from afar. The other party was tightly wrapped in the ghost face vine, with only his face exposed.
The ghost face vine has a strong Yin energy, which not only has the effect of trapping people, but once the Yin energy comes into contact with the limbs, it will corrode the body. The only thing to resist is spiritual power. Once the spiritual power is exhausted, the flesh and blood will be sucked dry.
Xu Yuanlang himself has used this method to kill many opponents, and no one knows the consequences better than him.
"I give in. Please let me go. My Xu family doesn't want the purple copper mine anymore. Please let me go."
As the spiritual power in his body was rapidly consumed, Xu Yuanlang became obviously anxious.
According to common sense, Chen An is at the second level of foundation building. If he forcibly uses the Ghost Vine Technique, he will definitely not be able to hold on for long. He only needs to hold on for a moment to escape.
But now his spiritual power was being consumed faster and faster, and Yin energy was eroding his body wave after wave. He knew that the other party obviously had more cultivation than what he showed on the surface, and he must be using some tricks to hide it.
The water in the Chen family’s house is very deep!
"Let go of Uncle Kailang!"
Xu Ziwei and the other man leaped over, took the Ghost Face Vine and were ready to rescue Xu Yuanlang.
But before they could get close, the sky was filled with wind blades that swept past, and the two men had a hard time resisting. They retreated repeatedly and returned to their original positions.
Chen An didn't even look at the two of them. The Thousand Blades Technique, which was only a minor achievement, was not something that the two of them could withstand.
He put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I can let you go, but you have to agree to one condition."
"Speak!" Xu Yuanlang was extremely anxious and spoke briefly, fearing that he would be sucked dry if he was late.
"I don't want today's events to be spread. Also, if Qingyun Sect has any contact with you in the future, as long as it involves the Chen family, please inform me immediately."
“These are two conditions.”
"Ok?"
Chen An looked displeased and urged the Ghost Face Vine to speed up the process of consuming spiritual energy.
"I promise, I promise, and I swear on my inner demon!" Xu Yuanlang agreed hurriedly. These two conditions were not difficult for him at all.
However, although the second condition seems ordinary, if you think about it carefully, there may be something behind it. It is impossible for Chen An to ask him to pay attention to the movements of Qingyun Sect for no reason. The strength of the Chen family cannot be underestimated now. It is very likely that they are guarding against future targeting by Qingyun Sect.
However, Chen An didn't explain it clearly, and Xu Yuanlang didn't dare to ask too much. After all, his life was still in the other party's hands.
Seeing this, Chen An nodded with satisfaction, and released Xu Yuanlang when his spiritual power was about to run out.
"As for the copper mine, I won't monopolize it. Let's divide it equally among the three of us." Chen An promised. If you want people to work wholeheartedly, you can't force them into a desperate situation.
Xu Yuanlang and the other two were greatly surprised. They thought that they were lucky enough to be alive after this defeat, but they never expected that the other party would actually take the initiative to make concessions.
"No, I think Fellow Daoist Chen should take 60%!"
I don’t know where Wang Feihu jumped out from and objected in public.
Xu Yuanlang's face was gloomy, but he didn't dare to say much.
a long time.
After the three of them left Yunwu Mountain, Xu Yuanlang instructed Xu Ziwei and the others, "Don't mess with the Chen family easily in the future. Chen An is unfathomable, and his cultivation is definitely not as simple as the second level of foundation building!"
"In the future, we should keep a low profile and focus on developing our family. The right path is to cultivate a cultivator with the potential to advance to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible."
After Xu Yuanlang and the other two left.
Wang Feihu came up with a fawning look on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, once Qingyun Sect contacts my Wang family, I will inform you the first time and will not disclose what happened today." Fei Tianhu lay behind him, grinning like a human, and his tail like a steel whip kept sweeping back and forth, sweeping the nearby grass and trees into a mess.
Chen An nodded with satisfaction. This guy is quite sensible.
Although reaching a preliminary cooperation with the other two families cannot directly enhance the strength of the Chen family, if it really attracts the attention of Qingyun Sect in the future, he will be able to learn about it in time and respond.
If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to provoke the giant Qingyun Sect. However, as his cultivation level gradually improved and he approached the Jindan stage, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Qingyun Sect.
It seems that I have to ripen more Phantom Light Grass and cover the entire Yunwu Mountain with the Phantom Light Killing Array as soon as possible. Although this array cannot defend against Jindan monks, it is better than nothing.
Moreover, things would not easily develop to the point of war, he was just preparing for a rainy day.
After Wang Feihu left, Chen Qing and the other man looked at Chen An with complicated expressions.
The two men originally thought that Chen An was just practicing a little faster, and as he had been in seclusion for many years, he must have lacked experience in fighting. They were all ready and rushed up together.
As a result, after just a few rounds, the three members of the Xu family were defeated one after another, so quickly that people could not react at all.
Chen An noticed the changes in their expressions but didn't pay much attention to them. He turned to Chen Qing and said, "Please pay attention to the mineral vein. 60% of the copper ore is very valuable."
"Also, don't invest all of your income into spiritual farming this time. Use some of it to cultivate potential members of the clan. Even if you're farming, you can't neglect your cultivation."
After Yunwu Valley was firmly under the control of the Chen family, Chen Qing invested a lot of resources in it. After a few years, it has achieved considerable results. Now it is developing rapidly and its output has exceeded that of the spiritual fields in Yunwu Mountain.
But Chen An hopes that the members of the Chen family can pick up hoes and farm, and have the ability to resist foreign enemies when they put down the hoes. Otherwise, he will have to step in to solve everything, which will not only delay his own practice, but also make the Chen family completely lose their sense of crisis.
Chen Qing nodded and said, "You are right. There are indeed several younger generations who are worth training. If they don't die young, they will have great hope of building a foundation in the future. In addition, Chen Dazhuang and Chen Youliang in the clan have already reached the ninth level of Qi training. As long as they have enough resources, it is possible for them to build a foundation in the future. There is also Chen Maoxin, he is not bad either. He is now at the eighth level of Qi training."
Chen An had anticipated this result. With his annual support of Qi Gathering Pills, if he still couldn't cultivate a few good talents, Chen Qing would no longer have to be the head of the family.
After instructing the two about the family affairs, Chen An asked them to go about their respective business while he returned to the spiritual field in the north of Yunwu Mountain.
After a period of nourishment and spread, the spiritual field is now more than three acres.
Outside the third-level spiritual field is a circle of second-level spiritual fields, which are planted with second-level spiritual plants. Further out is a circle of first-level spiritual fields. Since they are empty anyway, Chen An planted Youyuetan on them.
Under the nourishment of the third-level spiritual field, even if Chen An did not use the Soul-Snatching Technique to ripen the plants, the spiritual plants in the field grew very fast, half as fast as in the second-level spiritual field. The seeds of the Fantasy Light Grass sown four years ago are now seven or eight years old.
He thought for a moment, then used the Soul-Snatching Technique to consume some of the Fantasy Heart Grass and ripen the remaining Fantasy Heart Grass.
After a busy moment, he obtained a total of six sets of Phantom Light Killing Arrays. At the same time, his understanding and mastery of this array also improved to a higher level.
Immediately, Chen An flew over the Yunwu Mountain, looked down at the entire mountain, identified several directions, and then descended to set up six sets of phantom light killing arrays.
With the understanding of this formation, connected with the three sets set up before, the nine formations became one.
For a moment, half of the Yunwu Mountain was covered with mist, like a dream. This scene further highlights the name "Yunwu Mountain".
After the formation was connected as one, not only did its coverage area expand greatly, but its power was also increased to the level of a second-grade superior grade.
Based on Chen An's understanding of this formation, if there were nine more sets, they would probably be able to cover almost the entire cloud.
By then, even if a cultivator in the late foundation building stage comes, he will have no chance of getting out alive without special means.
Security has been greatly increased, and Chen An feels much more at ease.
But in order not to interfere with the life and practice of the tribesmen, Chen An only let the clouds and mist cover the spiritual fields and caves on the north side of Yunwu Mountain. However, through the formation, he can detect any foreign cultivators who set foot in this area, and can mobilize the formation to attack them in a moment.
Six years passed in a flash.
Chen An harvested crop after crop of Snow Yuan Lotus and consumed bottle after bottle of perfect quality Pei Yuan Dan.
As time went by, in a cave on the north side of the Yunwu Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, where no one had entered or exited for years, the pressure of a fifth-level foundation-building cultivator suddenly was released!
