Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

117: Setting up a magic array, raising spirit fish, a year has passed.Upon hearing Wang Yong’s words, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but laugh heartily. He patted Wang Yong on the shoulder and said with a smile:

”Brother Wang, you and I are family. Why be so distant? Tomorrow, I will have Chuanwu take Xiao Meng to test his Spiritual Root. If he has a Spiritual Root, the Chen Family will provide the Cultivation Technique and resources. If he doesn’t, the Chen Family will guarantee that Xiao Meng reaches the Innate stage directly!”

Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Wang Yong’s wrinkled face. He said with relief:

”Old Chen, I didn’t expect you to be so generous. From now on, my Wang Family and your Chen Family will face hardships, life, and death together, and advance and retreat as one!”

Chen Changsheng laughed heartily. He knew Wang Yong’s temper; he never liked asking for favors. If it weren’t for his son’s future, he probably wouldn’t have spoken up. Moreover, Wang Yong was a true man whose word was as good as gold, so he believed Wang Yong’s words were sincere.

”Brother Wang, it’s a deal. Our two families will support each other and share happiness together!”

The two middle-aged men looked at each other, a deep friendship resonating between them, and they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”Got a bite!”

Chen Changsheng’s fishing rod moved. He pulled hard, and a large Black Carp was reeled in, flopping continuously on the bank.

”The large Black Carp in this Jade Dragon Pool is definitely a delicacy. We must taste it. Let’s roast it in a while!”

Wang Yong’s fishing rod also had movement. He gave a sharp tug, and another large Black Carp was hooked.

”Haha, Old Chen, my martial arts skills can’t compare to yours, but when it comes to fishing, we are evenly matched. Let’s go roast these and eat!”

Seeing the large Black Carp hooked, Wang Yong laughed happily. He picked up the large Black Carp and linked arms with Chen Changsheng to roast the fish and drink.

When the two returned with the fish, things were already set up at home. Chen Changsheng and Wang Yong began roasting the fish in the newly built pavilion.

When the fish was roasted, Chuanwen brought over wine, and Wang Juan had made some stir-fried dishes. The Chen Family had been embroiled in conflicts for years, and rarely had such warm family banquet moments.

Everyone ate and drank until they were heavily intoxicated at the family banquet, laughter continuing, enjoying the future, in perfect harmony.

The next day, Chen Changsheng woke up from his bed, rubbing his hungover head. He had enjoyed himself so much yesterday that it was the first time he had experienced the feeling of being drunk.

Chen Changsheng walked out of the room and, seeing Juaner, asked: ”Is Brother Wang awake yet?”

Wang Juaner said with a giggle: ”My father drank the most yesterday. I reckon he won’t be able to get up until the sun is high in the sky!”

Chen Changsheng felt a bit awkward, as he was the one who kept urging Wang Yong to drink yesterday. After all, given their status, only he had the authority to urge others to drink, so he had to take the blame for this.

Chen Changsheng chuckled and changed the subject, telling Wang Juan to have Chuanwu and Chuanwen wait for him in the living room!

After a simple wash, Chen Changsheng came to the living room, where Chuanwen and Chuanwu were drinking tea and chatting.

”Father, I plan to pull some people from the Black Ice Platform. There are only a few of us on Jade Dragon Peak; it’s really too deserted!”

As soon as Chuanwen saw Chen Changsheng approach, he immediately brought up his idea.

”Hmm, we should choose those with good Aptitude and who are young. We will Cultivate them well to serve as the reserve force for our Chen Family!”

Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment and nodded. After all, the chores on Jade Dragon Peak couldn’t always be done by the Chen Family members; that would waste too much time for Cultivate, so they needed to find some subordinates.

”Father, why did you call us over?”

Chen Chuanwu was just about to go discipline Cheng An, who was messing around with Howling Heaven, when he was called into the living room by Chen Changsheng.

”Chuanwu, take Xiao Meng to the county town to check his Spiritual Root. If he has a Spiritual Root, bring him to Cultivate; if not, have him practice martial arts!”

Chen Changsheng handed Wang Meng directly to Chen Chuanwu. After all, Wang Yong was the Master who had provided Chuanwu with his initial martial arts enlightenment. Now, the student taking care of the Master’s son was perfectly appropriate.

”Chuanwen, your task is to fish. Dig a pond near the house and raise the Black Carp Spirit Fish you catch in it. This Black Carp Spirit Fish is of great use to our family, you must take it seriously!”

Chen Changsheng instructed Chuanwen. Chuanwen liked fishing in his spare time, and since there wasn’t much snake demon meat at home that could attract Black Carp Spirit Fish, leaving it to Chuanwen was the best way to maximize the catch of Spirit Fish.

”Father, we will go do it right away!”

Chuanwen and Chuanwu nodded and then went to complete the tasks Chen Changsheng had assigned, while Chen Changsheng himself took out the book on Formation to study.

If the Chen Family wanted to establish a stable footing on Jade Dragon Peak, this Formation was essential. According to the book on Formation, the ”Four Directions Cloud and Mist Mountain Protection Formation” was enough to block any Cultivator below the Foundation Establishment Stage!

This level of power was sufficient. The Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator of the Gu God Cult was very important and wouldn’t come to crusade against the Chen Family over these minor conflicts.

Following the records in the book, Chen Changsheng searched for the Earth Veins on Five Dragon Mountain. Unfortunately, his knowledge of Formation was truly lacking, and he hadn’t found any Earth Vein nodes after searching for a day.

Time passed bit by bit, and a year flew by in the blink of an eye.

During this year, Chuanwen used demon snake meat to catch sixty-seven Black Carp Spirit Fish. Chen Changsheng dug a pond behind the Courtyard House and introduced water from the Jade Dragon Pool. Now, thirty-four small Black Carp had hatched, successfully farming this spiritual creature of heaven and earth.

At the same time, this year, Wang Meng went to test his Spiritual Root and was surprisingly found to have a four-Spiritual Root talent. This pleasantly surprised Chen Changsheng and Wang Yong. Chen Changsheng provided spirit crystals and Cultivation Technique, letting Wang Meng Cultivate with Chuanwu!

This year, apart from practicing martial arts, Chen Changsheng spent his time studying the book on Formation.

With a sufficient supply of five elements soup, Chen Changsheng successfully reached the Blood Refining Peak, only one step away from the Breakthrough to the Innate stage.

At the same time, Chen Changsheng’s knowledge of Formation became increasingly proficient. He had already found three Earth Veins on Jade Dragon Peak, and only needed to find the last one to be able to set up the Formation.

”It should be around here. How can I not find it?”

Chen Changsheng held a compass in his hand, searching for the last Earth Vein node on the west side of Jade Dragon Peak.

The compass in his hand was a low-level Magical Artifact that Chuanwu had specifically bought from the Prefecture City. It had a weak effect of checking Earth Veins and searching for spiritual energy. Chen Changsheng had relied on it to find the first three Earth Vein nodes.

”This is the place!”

The compass needle stopped on a rock. Chen Changsheng walked over to sense it, but found that the compass was spinning non-stop.

”What’s going on? Is the compass broken?”

According to previous experience, the compass should glow after finding an Earth Vein node. Why was the needle spinning wildly now?

Facing such a situation, Chen Changsheng scratched his head. He walked to the rock and observed the surroundings, but there was nothing unusual.

”How unlucky, the compass must be broken!”

Chen Changsheng cursed, and punched the stone, but the stone shook slightly.

”Huh?”

Chen Changsheng let out a soft sound of surprise. The rock was tightly attached to the mountain range; logically, it shouldn’t have moved from his punch. Now that it was shaking, it meant there was a gap behind the stone.

”I want to see what mystery is hidden behind this broken stone!”

Chen Changsheng’s eyes lit up. He felt that the reason the compass was spinning wildly was hidden behind this stone!
