Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

213: The story is over, and the Chen family has finally established itself!Annan Prefecture City.

In the past, whenever Chen Changsheng and the others came to Annan Prefecture City, they were merely passersby; now, they finally had their own Foundation!

Upon entering the Prefecture City again, on the most prominent main road, an inn with the sign ”Yuelai Inn” was operating in full swing, with many guests pouring in; this was precisely the Chen Family’s inn!

”Chuanwen, this inn is being managed well!”

Chen Changsheng, walking at the very front, turned his head and praised Chen Chuanwen behind him!

”Father, a Black Ice Platform team has already been stationed inside to secretly gather intelligence from the traveling merchants!”

Chen Changsheng nodded and continued walking forward along the main road. Not far ahead, a Restaurant filled with a drifting aroma appeared, with a sign hanging above it that read ”Chen Family Wine Shop”!

Chen Chuanwen stepped forward slightly and whispered in Chen Changsheng’s ear, ”Father, the Restaurant’s business is quite booming, earning over a thousand taels of silver daily. Especially the Black Carp Spirit Fish, which is the Restaurant’s specialty; the wealthy and influential families in the Prefecture City have all praised its incomparable deliciousness!”

Chen Changsheng laughed heartily. This Restaurant was the Chen Family’s treasure bowl in the Prefecture City. The Chen Family’s strong chinese liquor was sold here, and its spicy taste had conquered the taste buds of everyone in the city!

”Not bad. From now on, the Chen Family’s expenses can be supported by this Restaurant alone!”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, then continued forward. Passing the Restaurant, the group arrived at a three-story building filled with the scent of rouge and powder and adorned with red lanterns. A plaque above it read: Heaven on Earth!

”Is this our brothel?”

Chen Changsheng pointed at the soul-stirring place before him and asked, turning back. Chen Chuanwen nodded, leaned closer to Chen Changsheng, and said with a smile:

”Father, our brothel’s main business is performing arts, not selling bodies. As for whether the girls and the guests develop feelings for each other, that is their own business!”

Chen Chuanwen knew that Chen Changsheng loathed the flesh trade, so he took the initiative to explain the brothel’s operating model. Seeing that Chen Changsheng didn’t look displeased, he continued in a low voice:

”This brothel is a key station for the Black Ice Platform. Those who come here are the influential figures of the Prefecture City; they provide the most and most important information here...”

Chen Changsheng raised his hand to stop Chen Chuanwen’s further words and said with a quite serious expression:

”Regardless, the women who come to work in the brothel are all people with hard lives. Since they have sought refuge with our Chen Family, we must support them... As for other matters, our Chen Family can afford to lose, but we cannot win by relying on women’s bellies!”

Seeing his father speak so seriously, Chen Chuanwen hurriedly nodded and said to Chen Changsheng:

”Father, I understand. Our Chen Family still has a bottom line in how we conduct ourselves!”

Hearing Chen Chuanwen’s stance, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but smile. Having already given Chuanwen a warning, it was time for a reward; after all, Chuanwen had indeed managed things well!

”You’ve handled the affairs of the Prefecture City well. The Chen Family’s development still relies on you. In the future, you can handle the matters of the Prefecture City as you see fit; I am completely at ease!”

After saying that, Chen Changsheng shifted his gaze from the main street to the farthest corner—Xianju Alley!

That was the true core of the Annan cultivation world!

”The appetizers were good, now it’s time for the main course. Come, let’s go to the market and see how deep the waters really are!”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, then strode toward Xianju Alley. Chen Chuanwen and the others followed closely behind, with Chuanwen’s gaze being particularly fervent.

Xianju Alley was the most central stage in Annan. In the past, the Chen Family was only fit to be a dish in the bowls of great figures; now, they too could sit at the table to eat!

How could this not be exciting!

The group arrived before Xianju Alley. Chen Changsheng looked at the bluestone at the entrance of the alley with a smile on his face. One day, the Chen Family would also leave its mark on this bluestone!

”Let’s go. We’re going in to take the stage!”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, then took the lead into Xianju Alley.

As soon as Chen Changsheng’s group entered the market, a man hurried over and bowed, saying:

”Is the newcomer Head of the Chen Family, Chen Changsheng?”

Chen Changsheng looked at the man, who was a stranger, and replied with a look of doubt:

”That is I. May I ask what this is about?”

The man, full of smiles, hurriedly gave another salute to Chen Changsheng and said beamingly:

”Young Master Seventeen specifically entrusted me to wait here. Once Head of the Chen Family entered the market, I was to lead you to the location of your shop!”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but nod and said with a smile to Chen Chuanwen behind him:

”Xiao Seventeen is indeed meticulous. His arrangements are so detailed and thoughtful, it’s like a breath of fresh air!”

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Chuanwen’s eyes as he smiled and agreed, but in his heart, he became even more wary of Xiao Seventeen. He had a premonition that this man would surely be his greatest rival in the future!

”Alright, lead the way. It’s been a while, and I’ve quite missed Young Master Xiao!”

Chen Changsheng said to the servant, who hurriedly led the way, guiding Chen Changsheng’s group into the market!

Because Chen Changsheng’s reputation in the market was booming—after all, the Medicinal Pills he refined were truly high quality and affordable!

Along the way, quite a few people gradually gathered around him to buy Medicinal Pills!

Helpless, Chen Changsheng had no choice but to tell everyone that they were here to open a shop in the market, and those who wanted to buy Medicinal Pills could just go there!

The crowd was overjoyed to hear this and followed behind Chen Changsheng, hoping to snatch up a batch of Medicinal Pills when the shop opened!

Consequently, a dense crowd suddenly appeared behind Chen Changsheng’s group, alarming nearly half of the market!

Finally, Chen Changsheng’s group arrived at the shop the Xiao Family had prepared for him!

The place wasn’t small, a two-story pavilion that was cleaned thoroughly. No sign had been hung yet; Xiao Seventeen was waiting with several servants carrying a plaque covered with red cloth.

”Welcome, Head of the Chen Family! May your opening be auspicious!”

Xiao Seventeen said with a smile, walking over and cupping his fists in a salute. Chen Changsheng hurriedly supported Xiao Seventeen’s hands and said with a smile:

”Thank you, Young Master Xiao. I couldn’t have made it this far without your help!”

Xiao Seventeen hurriedly waved his hand, grabbed Chen Changsheng’s hand, and said with a smile:

”Ah, mutual assistance. Neither of us could have succeeded without the other!”

Then, Xiao Seventeen scanned the crowd following behind Chen Changsheng and, with a look of admiration, said with a smile:

”Head of the Chen Family truly has great popularity! The shop hasn’t even opened yet, and so many customers are already impatient. Let’s hang the sign quickly!”

Chen Changsheng nodded with a smile, walked slowly to the plaque, and pulled away the red cloth. The golden sign with the five characters ”Chen Family Treasure Pavilion” was revealed, shining brightly like the morning sun!

”Chuanwen, Chuanwu, hang the sign!”

Chen Changsheng took a deep breath and spoke to his two sons behind him.

”Yes, Father!”

The two answered in unison, took the plaque from the servants, and deftly hung it above the shop!

Looking at the hanging sign, Chen Changsheng’s heart gradually swelled with emotion. After several decades, they had finally established a foothold on the stage of Annan’s main cultivation world!

”Fellow Daoists, the Chen Family Treasure Pavilion opens today! We have Spirit Fish, Magical Artifacts, and Spirit Pills for sale. Everything purchased today will be twenty percent off!”

Chen Changsheng said to the gathered Cultivators, instantly causing a sensation. Everyone cheered and rushed into the shop like a tide!

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng nodded with a slight smile. The name of the Chen Family would surely spread throughout Annan along with the shop!

Their Chen Family had risen. As for the Chen Family’s future path, it would naturally be climbed by generation after generation!

In short, the Chen Family’s path of cultivation would certainly be a brilliant and twisty tale!

The End!
