Chapter 28 Departure and Gain
This day.
The elite monks of the Chen family gathered in the clan, ready to go.
The head of the Chen family even took out the family flying boat that was rarely used.
The dark brown flying boat is several meters long and about two stories high, and can accommodate at least dozens of people.
It was the first time for many tribesmen, including Chen An.
Everyone was excited, hoping that the family's trip would go smoothly and return with a full load.
If the clan can produce another foundation-building person as a result of this harvest, the Chen family will be able to escape the fate of being a lower-class family, and the status of ordinary clan members will naturally rise as well.
Even if I can't get a sip of the soup, when I go out and brag to others, I can still hold my chest high and say that there are two people in my Chen family who have established the foundation!
“I didn’t expect the family would actually use this treasure. I don’t know what it feels like to sit on it.”
Among the crowd of onlookers, Chen Lun's eyes revealed envy.
Chen An chuckled and said jokingly, "Want to go? You can talk to the head of the family now. Maybe it's not too late."
"Forget it. I have been farming year after year and my experience in fighting has been wasted. I am afraid that any cultivator of the same level can defeat me."
Chen Lun shook his head. He had a clear understanding of his own weight.
"By the way, I heard from the Second Elder that you are already upgrading the spiritual field?"
"Well, I have used top-grade spiritual fertilizer some time ago. I have applied fertilizer twice in total. If I want to upgrade to top-grade, I will have to do it three or four more times."
At this point, Chen Lun showed a painful expression and gritted his teeth and said, "Top-grade spiritual fertilizer is so damn expensive. One catty costs one spiritual stone. It costs a full 100 spiritual stones to nourish an acre of spiritual field once!"
That is to say, he has accumulated a lot of wealth through farming for many years, otherwise, he really cannot afford the cost of upgrading the spiritual field.
"You are only in the middle stage of Qi training, why are you so anxious to upgrade your spiritual field?"
Chen An was puzzled. As the leader among the top ten farming experts, his farming skills were outstanding, but his cultivation was a bit lacking. If he rashly planted a first-grade top-quality spiritual plant, it would be a bit difficult.
"You don't know something."
Chen Lun smiled mysteriously.
"The Second Elder accidentally got the seeds of Youyuetan and wanted to cultivate more new species. After the success, he needed more high-quality spiritual fields for planting. Now that the spiritual fields are upgraded, the clan will subsidize half of it!"
Chen An was slightly surprised when he heard this. Youyuetan is the main ingredient for refining the Qi Gathering Pill needed by late-stage cultivators. If it can be cultivated on a large scale, it should be able to make a lot of profit for the Chen family.
But he looked at the other party with a strange expression and said, "It's not easy to grow the Youyuetan. The Second Elder has a high level of cultivation and can grow it, but can you do it?"
"I didn't say I would plant Youyuetan. The Second Elder asked me to plant Blood Spirit Grass, Sky Blue Flower and other spiritual herbs."
Chen An finally understood that these were other spiritual medicines and herbs needed to refine the Qi Gathering Pill. The Second Elder was probably planning to take the Qi Gathering Pill.
The top of Yunwu Mountain.
Old Master Chen was holding a letter in his hand, his cloudy old eyes were a little dim, and his expression was gloomy and uncertain.
Chen Qing stood quietly by the side, not daring to breathe, waiting for the other party to finish reading the letter.
"Snapped!"
"This is really unreasonable!"
Old Master Chen slammed the letter on the table, his gray beard trembling with anger.
"Grandpa, what is the purpose of the letter from Elder Li of Qingyun Sect?"
Chen Qing plucked up the courage to step forward and ask.
"At this critical moment, Li Feilong invited the four major families' foundation-building cultivators to go to Qingyun Sect to exchange cultivation experiences. It is obvious that he does not want us old guys to participate in the affairs of the ruins cave!"
After taking a deep breath, Old Master Chen still couldn't suppress his inner anger, and his chest rose and fell even more violently.
"Ah? Then isn't it obvious that they want to monopolize the resources of the ruins cave?"
Upon hearing the bad news, Chen Qing looked very unwilling.
Could it be that the Chen family's desire to take advantage of the opportunity to rise up is ultimately in vain?
Without the participation of the old man, the clan's elders who were only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training would not be able to gain much benefit. "Don't panic. Qingyun Sect doesn't want to offend the public. They will not send foundation-building cultivators on this trip. At most, they will send Qi training disciples."
Old Master Chen said it lightly, but he knew in his heart that Qingyun Sect had several disciples who had reached the ninth level of Qi training, let alone those who had reached the perfect level of Qi training.
Not to mention his Chen family, even the Wang family may have to stand aside.
I'm afraid only the strongest Xu family can compete for it.
This time, the Chen family is afraid that they will not have a chance to get the Foundation Establishment Pill.
He forced himself to calm down and ordered, "Qing'er, tell the elders that we don't ask for much in return for this operation, as long as we can save our lives. As for the treasures, if you can take them, take them. If you can't take them, let others take them. Without my protection, you should put the safety of the tribe first."
"If there is an opportunity, we can also unite with other families."
"Yes!" Chen Qing replied.
After a long time, the family flying boat took off into the air, breaking through the sky and leaving a white trail above Yunwu Mountain.
Seeing that the flying boat had gone, Chen An also planned to leave.
When I looked up, I saw a stream of light flying out from the top of the Yunwu Mountain.
Judging from his speed, it must be the old man of the Chen family.
Judging from its direction, it is exactly the direction of Qingyun Sect.
Why would the old man go to Qingyun Sect at this critical moment?
Chen An stopped for a moment and had a bad guess in his mind.
I'm afraid that the Qingyun Sect is using its power to bully others and wants to monopolize the resources of the ruins and cave.
Chen An thought about it and didn't take it too seriously. If that was the case, even the old man would be powerless, let alone him, a mere cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.
After returning to Lingtian, Chen An took good care of it.
Within a few days, the spiritual plants in the field matured.
This time, it can be said to be a great harvest.
Thirty percent are perfect, fifty percent are of high quality, and the rest are spiritual plants of ordinary quality.
Moreover, this season Chen An made a choice and used half of the spiritual fields to plant Qingying grass.
A total of sixteen perfect Qi-nourishing Pills, twenty-seven high-quality ones, and the remaining nineteen were ordinary Qi-nourishing Pills.
As for the rest of the gains, he also advanced the Earth Sinking Talisman, Turtle Shell Technique, and Divine Movement Technique to the minor success level, and he became proficient in the Fire Snake Talisman.
There are also many other spiritual materials, talisman-making materials and magical instruments.
These resources are enough for him to cultivate to the fifth level of Qi training.
Especially the golden thorn grass, and two talisman pens, which were enough for him to use for many years.
Chen An has accumulated more than a dozen pairs of Cloud-Stepping Boots, and for the time being he has not figured out how to get rid of them.
Fortunately, he had three storage bags on him, otherwise, after harvesting so many resources at once, he really wouldn’t know where to put them.
There is no way, even if there are too many resources, I will still be worried.
According to a rough estimate, the harvest from this season alone, if he took out only a portion of it, would be enough for him to upgrade his spiritual field.
Chen An's heart moved, and the spiritual power in his body surged and covered his entire body.
A layer of light shield emitting pale yellow light protected the surface of the body, and as the spiritual light flowed, faint patterns similar to tortoise shells were formed.
Chen An nodded secretly. His defense was pretty good. Ordinary Qi training level 4 or 5 cultivators could hardly hurt him.
Immediately, Chen An moved, as if turning into a gust of wind, and rushed to the other end of the spiritual field in the blink of an eye.
The speed of the Divine Movement Technique is much faster than that of the Wind Movement Talisman.
If he encounters that first-level intermediate Soul-Eating Rat again, Chen An believes that he can defeat it even in a head-on fight.
