Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

111: A cunning rabbit has three burrows; the Chen family has a way out!With the Body Cultivator Elder and the giant snake dead, the short-bearded Elder panicked. He had not expected Chen Chuanjie to truly possess the aptitude of a sword immortal, capable of defying the odds to slay a Mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivator.

”Don’t get cocky, Chen Family! The retaliation from our Gu God Cult will not stop!”

The short-bearded Elder also pulled a Talisman from his bosom and slapped it onto his body. He immediately floated away into mid-air, seemingly terrified that Chen Chuanjie would slay him. His steps were somewhat unsteady, and only a single phrase about getting revenge echoed in the wind!

”Do not pursue him. Chuanwen, go and invite Immortal Official Baili over. Chuanwu, check the spoils of war!”

Chen Changsheng saw that Chuanjie had collapsed onto the ground and knew he was no longer able to fight. Currently, Chen Chuanjie was the Chen Family’s strongest combat force. If he did not act, the Chen Family could not keep that Gu God Cult Fourth Elder here!

”Yes, Father. I will go and invite the Immortal Official right now!”

Upon hearing this, Chuanwen hurriedly rode his horse and galloped toward Longwei County.

Chuanwu went to loot the corpse. Body Cultivators traditionally did not rely on external objects, relying only on their strong physical bodies to fight enemies, so Chen Chuanwu did not find any Magic Treasure on the opponent.

There was only one Body Refining Cultivation Technique—《Rock-Solid Golden Body Art》.

This Cultivation Technique was suitable for those with Metal and Earth elemental affinities. Chen Chuanwu was clearly very interested in this technique. Chen Changsheng knew that Chuanwu had the best martial arts talent in the family, but his talent for Cultivating was very poor.

If he could engage in Body Refining, perhaps he could become a War Immortal with powerful combat strength in the future!

”Chuanwu, if you wish to switch your cultivation, use this technique. I see no problem with him Cultivating it up to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining!”

Chen Chuanwu nodded upon hearing this. The Cultivation Technique he had been Cultivating always emphasized long-range Spell attacks, which was incompatible with his fighting style of using martial arts for close combat. Today, the Body Cultivator Elder’s fighting style had deeply shocked him, opening the door to a new world for him.

”Father, I feel that I am more suited for Body Refining. I will switch to this Cultivation Technique!”

Chen Changsheng let Chuanwu put away the Secret Manual, then took his two sons to wait for Baili Xi’s arrival in the courtyard.

An hour later, the sun had just revealed half of its crimson face from the horizon!

Baili Xi arrived at the Chen Family’s Courtyard House together with Chuanwen.

”Head of the Chen Family, your Chen Family is truly extraordinary; you actually slew the Fifth Elder of the Gu God Cult!”

As soon as Baili Xi appeared, he showered them with compliments. Not only that, he also intended to apply for merit on behalf of the Chen Family!

”The imperial court has its own regulations. Since your third Young Master slew a Gu God Cult Elder with his sword, he has performed a great service. Not only can he join the imperial court, but there will also be a huge reward of wealth!”

In truth, Baili Xi was feeling guilty. He had originally wanted to use Fairy Qingping, who stood behind Chen Chuanjie, as a shield to intimidate the members of the Gu God Cult. Who would have expected that they would not be afraid at all and would even launch a night raid on the Chen Family? Fortunately, the Chen Family’s fist was hard; otherwise, it would not have been a Gu God Cult Elder who died!

”Lord Baili...”

Chen Changsheng cupped his hands, but just as he was about to speak, he was immediately stopped by Baili Xi.

”Head of the Chen Family, you are too polite. You have performed such a great service, yet you still call me Lord; you are shaming me. Just call me by my name!”

Baili Xi said with a chuckle. Although he was an Immortal Official in charge of a county’s cultivation affairs, he was merely a Fourth Level Qi Refining Cultivator!

The Chen Family had even slain a Mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivator from the Gu God Cult; how could he, a Fourth Level Qi Refining Cultivator, dare to act tough in front of the Chen Family? Did he not see the Little Sword Immortal Chen Chuanjie standing to the side, with the Killing Intent on his face yet to fade?

Seeing Baili Xi’s ingratiating appearance, Chen Changsheng could not help but chuckle!

This is the world of Cultivation, where strength is paramount!

Thinking back to when Baili Xi first summoned him, Chen Changsheng had been trembling with fear. Now, unknowingly, the mindsets of the two had quietly shifted!

”Immortal Official Baili, we members of the Chen Family do not wish to join the imperial court, nor do we lack wealth, but there is one thing I would like to ask for your help with!”

Baili Xi’s heart trembled, and he secretly felt distressed. His jurisdiction was only limited to Longwei County. If Chen Changsheng made an excessive request, or asked him to exterminate the Gu God Cult, that would be enough to give him a headache!

”Head of the Chen Family, please speak. If it is within my power, I will certainly not fail your request!”

Baili Xi forced a smile. He really did not dare to easily refuse Chen Changsheng now. After all, in Longwei County, besides the County Magistrate, the Chen Family had already surpassed him to become the top power!

”Haha, it is nothing difficult. It is just that the Gu God Cult is powerful and acts without any bottom line. My family consists of the elderly, women, and children, all under the threat of the Gu God Cult’s long blades!”

”Therefore, I would like to ask the Immortal Official to find a mountain where we can establish a new residence to hide my family and prevent the Gu God Cult from seeking revenge...”

Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Baili Xi breathed a long sigh of relief in secret. This was completely a trivial matter. Let alone Chen Changsheng wanting a mountain, even if he wanted a Spiritual Land, he would give it to him. Of course, there were no spare Spiritual Lands in Longwei County, only the one at the County Magistrate’s residence!

”Haha, Head of the Chen Family, rest assured. This is easy. I do not know which mountain you have your eye on? I will return to the county office right now to bring the land deed, and you will not need to spend a single penny!”

Baili Xi laughed heartily, acting magnanimous, as if the territory the Chen Family had taken a liking to was an honor for that Region. Chen Changsheng felt quite emotional in his heart. Thinking back to when he first rented War Horse Slope, he had to carefully calculate and bribe those greedy rats.

Now that the Chen Family had risen, everything was vastly different!

”I think Jade Dragon Peak is quite good. The environment is pleasant and quite suitable for living out one’s later years. I wonder if the Immortal Official could make an exception?”

What Chen Changsheng had his eye on was precisely the highest peak in the Jade Dragon Mountain Range—Jade Dragon Peak!

First, Zhao Song had a stronghold there. The business of smuggling Spiritual Crystals entered Ailao Mountain through the Jade Dragon Mountain Range. If Chen Changsheng moved there, he could better look after his own financial resources!

Second, the Jade Dragon Mountain Range was located between Longwei County and Longkou County. With Chuanwen there, it would be easier to control the Chen Family’s business in the two counties.

Third, the Jade Dragon Mountain Range was closer to the Annan Prefecture City. After all, the Chen Family had already stepped into the door of the Immortal Realm, and Annan Prefecture City was the center of the Annan Region’s cultivation world. If the Chen Family wanted to develop, they would eventually have to integrate into it.

”Jade Dragon Peak! Head of the Chen Family, you have a good eye. This peak is covered in blooming flowers, and there is a waterfall of living water flowing down from the peak. On its summit, the Jade Dragon Pool even has legends of a hidden Dragon; it is indeed a good place for seclusion!”

Baili Xi showered Chen Changsheng’s judgment with praise. In truth, he had only heard some rumors about Jade Dragon Peak and was merely playing along with Chen Changsheng.

”No problem. I will go to the county office to draw up the documents and send the land deed for Jade Dragon Peak tomorrow. This mountain will belong to the Chen Family forever. Also, regarding War Horse Slope, let’s not rent it anymore; I will also deed it to the Chen Family. In the future, whenever the Head of the Chen Family wishes to reminisce about the old place, you can return home to take a look!”

Baili Xi made a clean sweep and also deeded War Horse Slope to Chen Changsheng, fully taking care of Chen Changsheng’s interests. It must be said that once you become strong, the people around you all become kind.

”Many thanks, Immortal Official Baili. In the future, the Immortal Official must visit often; our two families need to interact more!”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile as he cupped his hands. He was willing to associate with a clever person like Baili Xi. Although he was shrewd and would calculate interests very clearly, he understood the exchange of interests and knew what kind of posture he should maintain under what circumstances!
