54. The Rise Of The Tamer Family

The Rise Of The Tamer Family

---

After humans had expelled demons from the Alkaid World, they formed different families and sects. The Alkaid World had welcomed the age of families and sects since then. The ninth-grade family or clan would rule over a city, the eighth-grade would rule over a county, the seventh-grade would rule over a state, the sixth-grade would rule over a kingdom, and so forth. Chen Yang was transmigrated to this world with the Akido Pearl. With it, he raised a group of beasts with powerful bloodlines and even built a farm to lead the Chen family to achieve the title of the Saint Family

Chapter 1

Maple City, Qian Dynasty, Chen family's meeting hall.

As Chen Yang slowly came back to his senses, he was stunned as he looked around.

At this moment, Chen Yang was sitting at the main seat of the ancient meeting hall. On both sides of him were people with different appearances.

What situation is this?

Chen Yang felt completely suspicious.

I didn't expect that I would actually transmigrate…

Memories flooded his mind.

Chen Yang was the head of a ninth-grade Beast Tamer family in the Maple City of the Great Qian Dynasty. The people sitting on both sides were elders of the Chen family.

"I didn't expect that I would become the head of an aristocratic family." Chen Yang's cheeks twitched.

I was originally picking out a construction set from an old man at the construction site. I was just holding a bead and looking at it when I went into a daze and came over.

"Family Head, have you thought of a solution? If not, do as I say and marry into the Mo family."

Just as Chen Yang was in a daze, an old man with a white beard on his right frowned.

What arranged marriage?

Chen Yang was a little stunned, but then he understood. So this family head was a hot potato.

This world was different from the technological world where Chen Yang had lived in his previous life. This world respected martial arts.

Aristocratic families and sects ruled this world together.

As for who ruled who among the aristocratic families and sects, it would depend on whose fist was bigger.

The Chen family that Chen Yang was from was a ninth-grade family in Maple City of Nanyang County, Great Qian Dynasty.

There were dozens of families and sects in the entire Maple City that were not ranked.

As for the ninth-grade family, there was only one. It could be said that the Chen family was the sky of Maple City.

However, the days in Maple City had been a little uncomfortable recently.

The reason was that the Great Qian Dynasty was preparing to give the neighboring dynasty some exercise. All the sects and families under the Great Qian Dynasty needed experts to participate in the battle.

As a ninth-grade family, the Chen family sent their only Genesis Patriarch in the family.

At this point, the foundation of the Chen family becoming a ninth-grade family had loosened a little.

Although it didn't seem like a big deal at the moment, after a while, it was hard to say.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Chen Yang. After all, if the sky collapsed, there would be a tall man to hold it up. He was just a child.

However, it was strange that before the Chen family's Genesis Patriarch left, he specially asked Chen Yang to take over the position of the family head.

As for the previous generation family head, Chen Yang's father, he voluntarily abdicated under the persuasion of the Genesis Patriarch.

Two days after Chen Yang took over the position of the family head, trouble came.

The enemy of the Chen family, the Gongsun family, a ninth-grade family in Gongsun City, officially attacked the Chen family.

Although they had only attacked the Chen family's convoy that was transporting silk at the beginning, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a sign that the Gongsun family had taken action.

Speaking of the Gongsun family, the two families had been feuding for a long time.

The Gongsun family had two Genesis Patriarchs. They were a pair of biological brothers who joined the Beastmaster Sect, a seventh-grade sect, with the Chen family's Patriarch.

Ever since they entered the sect, these two brothers had been at odds with the Chen family's Genesis Patriarch. However, the Chen family's Patriarch was powerful and had always suppressed these two brothers.

After obtaining his natal beast, these two brothers were even less of a match for the Chen family's Genesis Patriarch.

In addition, these two brothers were really not good people. The Chen family's Genesis Patriarch was also someone who hated evil. He would go out every few days to fight injustices and find trouble with these two brothers.

After a while, the feud was formed.

As a result, the Chen family and the Gongsun family also disliked each other and often had conflicts.

However, because the Chen family's Genesis Patriarch was powerful, it was not a problem for him to suppress the two Gongsun family's Genesis Patriarchs alone. Hence the Gongsun family did not dare to be too arrogant.

This time, the Great Qian Dynasty was recruiting for the army. The ninth-grade families only needed to send out one Genesis Patriarch, and so the Gongsun family still had one left.

Needless to say, the Gongsun family would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble for the Chen family.

"Family Head, why don't you agree to the marriage with the Mo family? Firstly, Miss Mo is the eldest daughter of the family, so it's not a disgrace to you."

"Secondly, the Mo family still has one Genesis Patriarch left. He can completely protect our Chen family."

Seeing that Chen Yang was silent, the First Elder tried to persuade him again.

Hearing the First Elder's words, Chen Yang came back to his senses from his memories. "First Elder, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. How about this? Give me three days and see if I can resolve it."

"If it's possible, then there's no need to marry into the Mo family. If not, then we'll act according to the First Elder's instructions."

With that, Chen Yang ignored the elders and walked out.

Watching Chen Yang leave, the First Elder couldn't help but sigh. "Sigh, it's been hard on our family head."

"The Family Head is only 18 years old, but he has already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement. He is the number one person in our Chen family."

"If the Genesis Patriarch was still around, the Family Head would probably enter the Beastmaster Sect. With the Family Head's talent, he will soar in the Great Qian Dynasty."

"At that time, how can a mere daughter of a ninth-grade family marry our family head? She's not even qualified to be a concubine."

The other elders also nodded. In the end, it was the Chen family who had dragged Chen Yang down.

"Although that's the case, we still have to be prepared. Although we have the Patriarch's favor, the Mo family might not be willing to marry their daughter over." Second Elder echoed.

Hearing the Second Elder's words, First Elder Chen Xuan stroked his beard. "That's right. We have to plan well and see how we can make the Mo family agree to the marriage."

"As for the head of the family, let him fool around for three days. Take it as a break."

After leaving the meeting hall, Chen Yang went straight to the place where the Chen family raised the Gale Wolves.

As a vassal family of the Beastmaster Sect, the Chen family was also responsible for raising demon beasts for the Beastmaster Sect.

This Gale Wolf that could grow to the late-stage of the first level could also bring the Chen family 1,000 spirit stones every year.

As for why Chen Yang came here, the bead was still circling in his mind.

Chen Yang recognized this bead. Before he transmigrated, Chen Yang had been playing with this bead.

The bead had probably contributed a lot to Chen Yang's transmigration.

According to the information given to Chen Yang by the bead, this bead was called the Dao Integration Bead.

It used clan fortune as energy and supplemented it with spiritual energy. It could strengthen the bloodline level, cultivation, defense, attack power, and speed of demon beasts.

Clan fortune was a symbol of the clan's destiny energy. The stronger the clan was, the higher the destiny energy.

Although consuming the family's fortune would weaken the family, the stronger the demon beasts under the Chen family, the stronger the family.

The clan's fortune would naturally increase.

Only Chen Yang could control the level of the energy.

According to the information given by the Dao Integration Bead, it still had some energy.

Chen Yang had already planned to use this bit of energy to nurture a powerful demon beast.

As a vassal family, if the Chen family contributed this demon beast to the Beastmaster Sect, the Beastmaster Sect would definitely stand up for the Chen family.

At that time, this predicament would naturally be resolved.

Chapter 2

Outside Maple City, in the Chen family's breeding base, beside a courtyard.

"Family Head, why are you here?" Seeing Chen Yang come over, the Ninth Elder hurriedly opened the door and welcomed him in.

"Ninth Elder, I'm here to ask for a few Gale Wolves with stronger bloodlines," Chen Yang went straight to the point.

"Gale Wolf? That's easy. Coincidentally, a few more Gale Wolves with powerful bloodlines have been born recently. I'll bring you over now."

The Ninth Elder did not ask why Chen Yang wanted the Gale Wolf. Firstly, although Chen Yang was young, he was still the head of the family. It was not his place to question or criticize.

Secondly, sensing Chen Yang's aura, the Ninth Elder felt that it was better to shut up.

When they arrived at the habitat of the young Gale Wolves, Chen Yang asked Ninth Elder, "Where are the Gale Wolves?"

"Please wait a moment."

Immediately, the Ninth Elder placed his index finger in his hand and blew hard. A loud whistle sounded.

Immediately after, four young Gale Wolves staggered to Ninth Elder's side and wagged their tails at him.

"I'll commandeer these Gale Wolves first."

"Please be my guest, Master."

Immediately, the Ninth Elder left, leaving Chen Yang and the four Gale Wolf cubs alone.

There was no one around. Chen Yang opened his right hand, and a pearl flickering with rainbow-colored light floated in his right palm.

Through the Dao Integration Bead, Chen Yang could clearly know the data of these four Gale Wolves.

Immediately, Chen Yang chose his target.

"You'll do."

As the spiritual energy in Chen Yang's body was activated, the energy of the Dao Integration Bead was quickly exhausted. A golden ray of light surged into the body of the demon beast that Chen Yang had chosen.

The moment the light entered its body, the Gale Wolf immediately erupted with a supreme aura.

This pressure that originated from its bloodline instantly made the other three little ones prostrate on the ground, not daring to look straight at him.

"Now, all that's left is to wait."

This wait lasted for two days.

On the third day, Chen Yang, who was already a little dispirited, suddenly became excited.

This was because the aura enveloping the Gale Wolf was gradually dissipating. This meant that the bloodline upgrade was about to end.

Perhaps to confirm Chen Yang's guess, the Gale Wolf's body kept changing.

In just a few seconds, it had already grown to a terrifying size of three meters long and 1.5 meters tall.

The green fur that represented the Gale Wolf symbol also transformed into purple.

There was now an obvious crescent moon engraved on the Demon Wolf's forehead.

"Howling Moon Wolf!" Chen Yang's eyes lit up. As a beast-taming family, Chen Yang knew many demon beasts.

After the baptism of the bloodline origin, the Gale Wolf in front of him had already evolved into a Howling Moon Wolf that contained the bloodline of a peak-level Demon Venerable.

Not only was the Howling Moon Wolf powerful after reaching adulthood, but it also had a chance of breaking through to the Demon King Realm.

It could be said that even the seventh-grade Beastmaster Sect could not calm down when facing the Howling Moon Wolf.

Chen Yang really did not expect that the remaining energy would create a demon beast with the bloodline of a Demon Venerable.

If there was enough energy, wouldn't his Chen family soon have a Demon Venerable army?

At that time, not to mention the Gongsun family, even the Beastmaster Sect would treat the Chen family with high regard.

"Howl!"

A wolf howl pulled Chen Yang back to reality.

"Oh, you dare to bare your teeth at me?" Seeing the Howling Moon Wolf baring its teeth at him, Chen Yang took a step forward.

A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the Howling Moon Wolf. Then, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Get over here and lie down."

Chen Yang's voice was like a spring breeze, but it made the Howling Moon Wolf feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave. For a moment, it could not help but tremble.

"Why? Do I have to repeat myself?"

Seeing the hostility in Chen Yang's eyes, the Howling Moon Wolf instantly lay at Chen Yang's feet, not daring to move.

No matter how powerful the Moon Howling Wolf would be in the future, it was still far from being Chen Yang's match.

"Yes, you're so obedient." After stroking the wolf's head fiercely, Chen Yang left in satisfaction.

The Howling Moon Wolf waited until Chen Yang's figure disappeared before it dared to stand up. Then, it walked proudly to the other Gale Wolves and accepted their kneeling.

In the meeting hall of the Chen family.

The elders sat on the chairs one after another and looked at Chen Yang.

After a while, the First Elder was the first to speak. "Family Head, three days have passed. Have you considered it?"

"I reject," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Reject? Family Head, do you mean that you've found a way to deal with the Gongsun family?" The First Elder's eyes lit up. He did not expect Chen Yang to really find a solution.

"Naturally."

Chen Yang glanced at the elders. "Everyone, follow me."

Then, he took the lead and rushed towards Green Mountain. The other elders did not know what Chen Yang was doing, but they still followed him obediently.

After arriving at Green Mountain, the First Elder looked at Chen Yang in front of him and could not help but ask, "Family Head, what is the solution?"

"Don't be anxious." Chen Yang smiled at the First Elder and clapped his hands.

Immediately after, a group of people pulled the iron cage and appeared in front of the elders. Inside the iron cage was the Howling Moon Wolf.

"This… This is a Howling Moon Wolf, a Howling Moon Wolf that can grow up to the Demon Venerable peak level!"

The First Elder stumbled to the cage and gripped the railing with both hands, his face filled with shock.

"I was lucky to find this beast. If I offer the Howling Moon Wolf to the Beastmaster Sect, the Gongsun family will definitely not dare to make a move."

"As for the marriage, let's wait. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others. First Elder, it's better to focus on developing the strength of the family." Chen Yang walked to the First Elder's side and stared at the Howling Moon Wolf.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, First Elder Chen Xuan was first stunned, then he smiled bitterly and said, "I was indeed a little hasty."

"Ever since the Patriarch left, I've been looking for a backer, but I've forgotten that we are truly powerful ourselves."

"Thank you for reminding me, Family Head." As he spoke, the First Elder made a move to bow to Chen Yang.

"First Elder, you don't have to do this." Chen Yang hurriedly stopped the First Elder's actions. "You're an elder. If you bow to me, it won't sound good if word gets out."

"Alright, I'll have to trouble First Elder to give this to the Beastmaster Sect and deal with the corresponding matters."

"As for me, I'll go cultivate first."

With that, Chen Yang turned around and left.

Looking at Chen Yang's departing figure, the Third Elder couldn't help but ask, "First Elder, do you really believe that the Family Head was lucky enough to find the Howling Moon Wolf?"

When the First Elder heard this, he quickly turned around and glared at the Third Elder. A wisp of murderous intent flowed out invisibly.

"Remember, all of you, that the head of the family is lucky. Do you understand?"

Sensing the terrifying aura emitted by the First Elder, the elders nodded and buried all the thoughts in their minds.

Chapter 3

In the Chen family's courtyard.

After resolving the most dangerous matter in the Chen family, Chen Yang felt that even absorbing spiritual energy into his body was much faster and easier.

"At this rate, I'll probably become a Genesis Patriarch in less than two years."

Sensing the abundant spiritual energy in his body, Chen Yang had a new estimate of the day he would break through to his Genesis Breakthrough.

In the path of martial arts, one had to first absorb spiritual energy into the dantian in order to refine the Qi.

When the spiritual energy has accumulated to the maximum, it could break through the shackles of the meridians in the body and turn spiritual energy into liquid. This was the Genesis Breakthrough.

The spiritual energy accumulated in Chen Yang's dantian was already extremely rich. He was only one step away from the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

The next day, Chen Yang accompanied his parents for breakfast. Just as he was about to go into cultivation, he was called over by the First Elder.

"First Elder, why are you looking for me?"

"Of course it is to discuss when to send the Howling Moon Wolf to the Beastmaster Sect." The First Elder stroked his beard.

"You guys can just discuss this matter yourselves."

"That's not true. You are the Head of our Chen family. How can we not discuss such a major matter with the Family Head?"

Chen Yang was a little puzzled. According to his memory, didn't these guys discuss this matter by themselves before? Why are they asking me to interfere now?

As if seeing through Chen Yang's thoughts, the First Elder smiled and said, "In the past, I didn't let the Family Head interfere with the family matters, because I was afraid that the Family Head would be too young and rash and end up destroying the Chen family."

"But from the looks of it now, the Family Head's methods and ability are enough to decide the matters of the Chen family."

Chen Yang understood that he had saved the Chen family. No matter what, they could not treat Chen Yang as just a figurehead anymore.

"Alright, when do you all think we should deliver the Moon Howling Wolf?" Chen Yang asked with a teacup in his hand.

"Family Head, my thoughts are to wait for now. In half a month, it will be the Beastmaster Sect's Young Master's coming-of-age ceremony.

"When we send it over, not only will it mean different things, but it will also reduce the possibility of being detected by the Gongsun family."

"Then we'll do as First Elder said. We'll offer this Moon Howling Wolf at the Beastmaster Sect's Young Master's coming-of-age ceremony."

Chen Yang immediately made a decision.

"In addition, there's another thing. Release the news that we're spending a lot of money to buy the Ice Elemental Pearl, however many spirit stones it may take."

"Family Head, you mean to divert their attention?" Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly understood Chen Yang's thoughts.

Chen Yang smiled and nodded. "Not only that, but the Gongsun family will definitely stop us. We might even be able to trick the Gongsun family.

"That's right. Everyone in Nanyang knows that the Patriarch is deeply loved by his master. And this Ice Elemental Pearl is also a treasure that the Patriarch's master needs for beast-taming."

"If we give this treasure to our Patriarch's master, he will definitely help us."

"Since the Gongsun family wants to annex us, they naturally have to stop this treasure. Now, not only can it be used as a smoke bomb, but it can also make the Gongsun family lose some spirit stones."

The more Chen Xuan analyzed, the brighter his eyes became.

Why hadn't he realized before that the family head was actually so sinister?

"That's not all. I will definitely destroy the Gongsun family. At that time, we can also take back this Ice Elemental Pearl."

"Then we'll give it to the Patriarch's master as a token of our filial piety." Chen Yang continued.

Chen Xuan was completely stunned. Good lord, which level was the Family Head on?

"Since the matter with the Howling Moon Wolf is settled, let's continue discussing the rest."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan handed Chen Yang a booklet. "This records the business situation of our Chen family. Family Head, what should we do next?"

Chen Yang took the booklet without looking up. "Let's talk about the silk business first."

"Master, this silk business is actually a cover."

"A cover?" Chen Yang raised his head and glanced at Chen Xuan. "First Elder, what does this cover mean?"

Hearing Chen Yang's question, the First Elder quickly said, "The reason why our family maintains the silk trade is because we can inquire about the county city."

"Otherwise, a mere silk that can only be traded with Great Qian Gold is not worth our effort."

Chen Yang nodded slowly. So it was used to obtain information.

"Stop the silk business for the time being. On the one hand, we can show weakness to the Gongsun family. On the other hand, we can also preserve the manpower of our Chen family." Chen Yang instructed.

"Understood."

After asking about the silk business, Chen Yang looked at the booklet in his hand again.

The most eye-catching part of this booklet was the Chen family's trump card business, the Gale Wolf.

The Chen family was a subsidiary family of the Beastmaster Sect, so they naturally had to take on the task of nurturing demon beasts for the Beastmaster Sect.

The Beastmaster Sect was not stingy. After some time, raising Gale Wolves for the Beastmaster Sect had become the Chen family's most profitable business.

Seeing Chen Yang staring at the interface of the Gale Wolf, Chen Xuan hurriedly walked to Chen Yang's side. "Family Head, the Gale Wolf grows quickly. Basically, it can bring a thousand spirit stones to our family every year."

A thousand spirit stones was not a small amount for a ninth-grade family.

This spirit stone contained pure spiritual energy and was a physical currency of the entire world. From this, it could be seen how valuable it was.

"I think our family only has ten male wolves and ten female wolves. Why don't we increase production? According to my understanding, Green Mountain still has a lot of territory."

This was also something that Chen Yang had never understood. They clearly still had the strength to expand production, but the family had never been moved.

"It's like this." Chen Xuan smiled and explained, "Gale Wolves are equivalent to cannon fodder demon beasts in the Beastmaster Sect. In peacetime, they don't need much."

'Got it. Not enough market.'

As a vassal family of the Beastmaster Sect, the Chen family naturally could not sell Gale Wolves to other forces.

Seeing this, Chen Yang closed the booklet and threw it on the table. "Alright, I won't read it anymore. It's better for the First Elder to handle business matters."

With that, Chen Yang shook his sleeve and stepped out of the hall.

"Farewell, Master."

After leaving the meeting hall, Chen Yang wanted to return to his courtyard to cultivate, but he realized that Chen Xuan had followed him.

"First Elder, what's the matter?"

The First Elder looked around first, then leaned into Chen Yang's ear. "Family Head, I've already persuaded the Ninth Elder. He swears to forget that the Family Head once looked for him."

After sizing up Chen Xuan, Chen Yang let out a hearty laugh. "Hahaha, thank you, First Elder."

After being sized up by Chen Yang, Chen Xuan also realized a problem. "Family Head, don't worry. Ninth Elder and I have both sworn a martial arts oath not to leak this matter."

"That's good."

Chen Yang left, but after taking two steps, he stopped.

"After I achieve the Genesis Breakthrough, the First Elder can rest and focus on breaking through as well."

Chen Yang then got up and left.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Chen Xuan was first stunned, then fell into ecstasy.

Did the head of the family mean to nurture him and push him into the Genesis Breakthrough?

For a moment, the First Elder steeled his resolve.

In the Chen family, if the family head had made a decision, even the patriarch had to respect that!

Chapter 4

After discussing the next plan with First Elder Chen Xuan, Chen Yang spent the next few days cultivating in his small courtyard.

Chen Yang was having a leisurely time, but Nanyang County was in an uproar.

The news of the Gongsun family attacking the Chen family's silk convoy had already spread. To everyone's surprise, the Chen family did not say anything.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, another piece of news came. The Chen family was looking to purchase the Ice Elemental Pearl and was willing to pay alot for it.

And the price far exceeded the value of the Ice Elemental Pearl.

Nanyang County, Gongsun City.

As a ninth-grade family with two Genesis Patriarchs, the Gongsun family was qualified to name the city they lived in.

This was also a manifestation of the Gongsun family's strength.

In the Gongsun family home, the First Elder Gongsun Gu, stood beside his lord, Gongsun Miao. "Family Head, what do you think of this news?"

"What do you think?" Gongsun Miao snorted. "The Chen family is anxious and wants to seek help from their patriarch's master."

"In that case, I can't let the Chen family get what they want."

"Pass down the order to search for the Ice Elemental Pearl in Nanyang County with all our might. No matter what, we can't let the Chen family obtain it."

"Yes!" Gongsun Gu nodded and turned to leave.

Gongsun Miao stroked his mustache. "Hmph, Chen family, let's see who else can save you this time."

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

According to the Chen family's discussion, they would send someone to attend the young sect master's coming-of-age ceremony today.

In the meeting hall, when Chen Xuan saw Chen Yang, he was first stunned before he fell into ecstasy. "Family Head, have you broken through?

"I was lucky." Chen Yang closed his fan and smiled.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Chen Xuan shouted three times in a row, then smiled and said, "With the Family Head's talent, you will probably achieve your Genesis Breakthrough soon. At that time, our Chen family will no longer be afraid of the Gongsun family."

"That's enough. No one can predict the future. Let's focus on what's in front of us first."

"By the way, have you dealt with the Howling Moon Wolf?"

"Of course there's no problem." Chen Xuan patted the blue-gray bag at his waist. "With the Beast Taming Bag given to me by the Patriarch, no one will know that we Chen family has the Howling Moon Wolf with us on this trip."

"Then I'll have to trouble First Elder to guard the Beast Taming Bag."

Chen Yang nodded. This Beast Taming Bag was a treasure refined by the Beastmaster Sect. It had a universe inside and could store demon beasts.

Although it could only store demon beasts below the Genesis Level, it was still very precious.

In the entire Great Qian Dynasty, only the Beastmaster Sect could refine it.

If not for the fact that the Chen family's Patriarch had made a lot of contributions back then, there would really be no free Beast Taming Bag left for the family.

After preparing everything, under Chen Yang's lead, a group of more than ten people headed to the Beastmaster Sect.

As a seventh-grade sect, the Beastmaster Sect was the ruler of Jiangzhou, one of the thirteen states of the Great Qian.

Its mountain gate was located in the place with the most spiritual energy in Jiangzhou.

Fortunately, this place was not far from Maple City. After traveling for eight days, Chen Yang and the others arrived at the Beast City at the foot of the Beast Mountain.

"Alright, let's rest." After finding an inn, Chen Yang arranged for everyone to stay.

After everything was arranged, Chen Yang planned to rest.

At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly walked in.

"First Elder, what's the matter?" Chen Yang was very surprised. Why was First Elder looking for him instead of resting?

"I have something to tell you, Master."

"What sort of things?"

"Previously, because you broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement, I was so happy that I forgot something important."

Hearing the First Elder's words, Chen Yang was a little surprised and immediately gestured for the First Elder to continue.

"Family Head, as you know, our Chen family is a beast-taming family. We don't have many powerful martial arts in the family. Our strength is all on our natal beasts."

"But our Chen family's cultivation technique is an incomplete version of the Beastmaster Sect's cultivation technique. It can only refine a natal demon beast at the Qi Refinement realm."

"What I'm worried about is that if the Family Head doesn't refine the natal demon beast, you'll probably achieve your Genesis Breakthrough."

Hearing the First Elder's words, Chen Yang smiled and said, "First Elder, you think too highly of me. How can I achieve Genesis Breakthrough so quickly?"

"Besides, after resolving my current predicament, I'll just choose one of our family's Gale Wolves and refine it into my natal beast."

"What? The family head wants to refine the Gale Wolf? No, no."

Hearing that Chen Yang planned to use the Gale Wolf as his natal beast, Chen Xuan waved his hand.

"Why?" Chen Yang was a little surprised. The demon beast that the Chen family knew the best was the Gale Wolf. Why couldn't they treat the Gale Wolf as their natal demon beast?

"Family Head, you also know that the Gale Wolf's future achievements are limited. It's impossible for it to become a Demon General."

"Family Head, you will definitely become a Genesis Patriarch in the future. If you don't have a demon general-level natal beast, wouldn't you be delaying yourself?" Chen Xuan said.

Only then did Chen Yang understand that this was what Chen Xuan was worried about.

"First Elder, have you really forgotten my secret?" Chen Yang smiled at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan nodded. "Although I'm not sure how the Family Head strengthened the demon beast bloodline, I'm certain that the price he paid must not be small."

"In that case, why waste this price on the Gale Wolf and not choose a more powerful demon beast to nurture?"

Chen Yang understood.

The First Elder's worries were not unreasonable. The Dao Integration Bead used the Chen family's clan fortune as energy, so it naturally could not be used casually.

If he found a demon beast with a powerful bloodline, he could save a lot of energy.

Besides, even if he didn't save energy, that energy could be used to strengthen demon beasts and quickly become Chen Yang's trump card.

Moreover, the Dao Integration Bead could not accumulate a lot of energy in an instant. It needed to continuously devour the clan's fortune and slowly accumulate energy.

This could also ensure that the Chen family could develop steadily.

If they suddenly consumed a large amount of their clan's luck, most of the Chen family's martial artists would probably go berserk. The rest would either be smashed to death by meteors or accidentally fall into the water and drown.

That was how much the family's clan fortunes affected the family.

"First Elder is right. I won't casually refine my own beast." After thinking about it, Chen Yang decided to listen to Chen Xuan.

Hearing Chen Yang's answer, Chen Xuan stroked his beard and smiled. "That should be the case. I'll take my leave now."

After the First Elder left, Chen Yang laid on the bed and looked at the roof, his mind constantly thinking about his natal beast.

The Chen family's cultivation technique, the Ten Thousand Beast Technique, had a flaw. Not only was the path to the Genesis Breakthrough cut off, but it could only refine an natal beast at the Qi Refinement Realm.

"The inheritance of the Ten Thousand Beast Technique and the Beast Taming Sect. When I have the chance in the future, I can try to exchange for the subsequent cultivation techniques."

"This way, not only can the patriarch try to break through to the?Ningdan

realm, but the disciples of the family also don't have to rush to find their natal beasts."

Chapter 5

Two days passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the young sect master of the Beastmaster Sect to hold his coming-of-age ceremony.

Chen Yang and the others were also prepared. In order to attend the junior sect master's coming-of-age ceremony, Chen Yang even specially dressed up to show his respect.

He was dressed in a white shirt with light blue patterns and golden threads, making the originally handsome Chen Yang look like an immortal on earth.

"Family Head is really dashing. If this young sect master was a woman, she would probably abandon the sect's foundation and run away with Family Head."

Chen Xuan sized up Chen Yang and smiled.

"Alright, First Elder, stop flattering me. Let's get down to business." Chen Yang fanned himself and led the First Elder to the Beastmaster Sect.

As a ninth-grade aristocratic family, the Chen family could only send two people to participate in the young sect master's celebration.

Chen Yang naturally had to participate, and as the strongest person in the Chen family, Chen Xuan, who was at the peak of Qi Refinement, definitely had to participate.

The two of them held the invitation to the Beastmaster Sect and arrived at the square where the celebration was held.

The Beastmaster Sect was located in the mountains, so it was not easy to find a flat area. Naturally, it had to be used as a square for the celebration.

When they reached the square, the two of them quickly found the table where the Chen family was and quickly sat down.

"Isn't this the new head of the Chen family? Gongsun Miao here greets the Chen family head."

Chen Yang had just sat down when he heard a strange sound from his left.

He looked over and saw a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man with a mustache staring at him with a smile.

At the side, Chen Xuan whispered, "Family Head, this person is the master of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Miao. Sitting beside him is the Patriarch of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Mang."

"So it's the Gongsun family head. Chen Yang greets the Gongsun family head and the Gongsun family's Patriarch." Chen Yang cupped his fists and acted friendly.

Gongsun Miao also cupped his hands, but Gongsun Mang pretended not to hear him and continued to sit quietly with his eyes closed.

After greeting Gongsun Miao, Chen Yang immediately closed his eyes and ignored Gongsun Miao.

Although Gongsun Miao was angry, he did not dare to be impudent here. He immediately snorted and went to talk to the other families.

Soon, all the families participating in the celebration arrived. The celebration officially began.

"I'm extremely grateful that everyone is able to attend my son's coming-of-age ceremony." After everyone arrived, an expert emitting a terrifying aura walked over from the end of the square.

Beside this powerhouse was a young man.

These two people were the Sect Master and Young Sect Master of the Beastmaster Sect.

"Greetings, Sect Master Wang!"

With a shout, Sect Master Wang brought his son to the main seat.

"Enjoy yourselves, everyone."

Under Sect Master Wang's lead, everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily.

Chen Yang also took the opportunity to check on the guests.

Sect Master Wang sat facing the south. To his right were the various large families in Jiangzhou, and to his left were the experts of the Beastmaster Sect.

The seats of the aristocratic families were also very impressive. Firstly, the four eighth-grade aristocratic families attached to the Beastmaster Sect naturally sat in front.

These four eighth-grade aristocratic families were located in the Beast City and had undying loyalty to the Beastmaster Sect.

The remaining eighth-grade aristocratic families located in the various counties were vassals of the Qian Dynasty Royal Family.

There was also information here that was not commonly known. Logically speaking, all the aristocratic families and sects in the royal family were vassals of the royal family.

However, ordinary families and sects were not worthy of being vassals of the Qian Dynasty Royal Family. Only by becoming an eighth-grade aristocratic family would they be qualified to be vassals of the Qian Dynasty Royal Family.

Back to business.

After the 16 eighth-grade families in Jiangzhou sat down, only the ninth-grade families were left.

There were more than a hundred ninth-grade aristocratic families in Jiangzhou. Sitting in front were naturally the vassal families of the Beastmaster Sect.

As the Chen family's Patriarch's master, Venerable Dao Xuan, was quite powerful in the Beastmaster Sect, the Chen family's seat was relatively close to the front and was ranked fifth among the ninth-grade aristocratic families.

After the host and guest had their fun, the highlight came.

Under everyone's gaze, Young Sect Master Wang wore a crown and became an adult, qualified to inherit the Beastmaster Sect.

Next, it was time for the various aristocratic families to present their gifts.

According to the seating arrangement, the aristocratic families congratulated Young Sect Master Wang one after another. Chen Yang could not help but clench his fists. Success or failure depended on this.

The aristocratic families presented their gifts one after another, allowing everyone to feast their eyes.

Precious Tier 8 spirit herbs and spirit weapons were given to Young Sect Master Wang as if they were free.

Even the four eighth-grade aristocratic families affiliated with the Beastmaster Sect offered seventh-grade spirit weapons, shocking everyone.

"Next, let's welcome the Gongsun family!"

Hearing this voice, Chen Yang looked at the Gongsun family. He wondered what gift the Gongsun family would give…

Although the Gongsun family was a ninth-grade aristocratic family, like the Chen family, the masters of the two Patriarchs were also quite powerful in the Beastmaster Sect.

Many people knew about the conflict between the Gongsun family and the Chen family. They were very curious about what gift the Gongsun family would offer.

If the gift was precious, even the Beastmaster Sect would intervene to help the Gongsun family annex the Chen family.

"Gongsun Mang greets the Sect Master and Young Sect Master. Today, I present the peak eighth-grade defensive spirit artifact, the Flowing Light Armor, to congratulate the Young Sect Master!"

Gongsun Mang took out a golden armor from his storage bag and placed it respectfully on the table.

"What? It's actually a peak eighth-stage defensive spirit artifact? Where did the Gongsun family get it?"

Seeing the Gongsun family offer a peak eighth-stage defensive spirit artifact, everyone was shocked.

In the category of spirit artifacts, defensive spirit artifacts were especially valuable. In terms of value, a peak eighth-rank defensive spirit artifact was already comparable to a seventh-rank spirit artifact.

How could anyone not be shocked that the Gongsun family offered such a precious treasure?

Even the eighth-grade families looked at the Gongsun family.

The Gongsun family had offered such a precious treasure and was a vassal family of the Beastmaster Sect. They would probably have to pay more attention to it in the future.

"The Chen family is really finished this time. The Gongsun family has offered such a heavy gift. I'm afraid they want to cut off the Chen family's chance to seek help from the Beastmaster Sect."

"That's right. Logically speaking, the two families are both vassal families of the Beastmaster Sect. If there are any sharp conflicts, the Beastmaster Sect will definitely mediate.

And the Gongsun family's heavy gift has completely blocked the possibility of mediation."

For a moment, everyone looked at the Chen family with pity.

Sect Master Wang glanced at the Flowing Light Armor and said indifferently, "The Gongsun family is considerate.".

Hearing Sect Master Wang's words, Gongsun Mang fell into ecstasy. Although Sect Master Wang's attitude did not change, he was undoubtedly satisfied with the Gongsun family's performance.

The sect would probably not stop them from annexing the Chen family. In fact, they might even help.

With such a feeling in his heart, Gongsun Mang's footsteps became much lighter. He glanced at Chen Yang and Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with disdain.

Chapter 6

"Next, let's welcome the Chen family."

At last.

Chen Yang quickly calmed himself down. Then, he took the Beast Taming Bag from Chen Xuan and quickly came to Sect Master Wang.

"The Chen family has specially offered the Howling Moon Wolf to congratulate the Young Sect Master!"

With a modest voice, Chen Yang quickly opened the Beast Taming Bag and released the Howling Moon Wolf.

The moment the Howling Moon Wolf was released, it planned to escape. However, when it sensed the aura around it, it quickly sat down and did not move.

"It's actually a Howling Moon Wolf! One that can cultivate to the peak of the Demon Venerable realm and even have a chance of breaking through to the Demon King realm!"

"A Genesis Demon General, a Ningdan Demon Venerable, and a Purple Core Demon King. This Howling Moon Wolf might become an existence that surpasses the Ningdan realm!"

"I didn't expect the Chen family to be able to find this Howling Moon Wolf and even have the courage to give it to the Beastmaster Sect first."

For a moment, all the Patriarchs of the families focused their attention on Chen Yang.

Looking at the Howling Moon Wolf lying in front of Chen Yang, their eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

On one side, they were jealous of the Chen family's good luck. On the other side, they sighed at the Chen family's drive.

"Hehe, the Gongsun family's plan has failed."

Someone said this secretly. Immediately, most of the family heads looked at the Gongsun family.

At this moment, Gongsun Miao felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

Damn it! How could the Chen family be so lucky to find a Howling Moon Wolf!

The appearance of the Howling Moon Wolf shocked everyone. Even Sect Master Wang stood up and stared at the Howling Moon Wolf in disbelief.

After a while, Sect Master Wang came back to his senses. "Good! Good! Good! I'm very relieved that the Chen family is so loyal."

"Dao Xuan, you've taken in a good disciple. How about this? On behalf of my Beastmaster Sect, reward the Chen family well."

"Even if it's a cultivation technique to break through to the Ningdan realm, I can still reward you."

Sect Master Wang's words immediately caused a commotion among the various families. No one expected Sect Master Wang to be willing to reward the Chen family with a Ningdan cultivation technique.

If that was the case, didn't that mean that the Chen family had a chance to become an eighth-grade aristocratic family?

It had been 300 years since a new eighth-grade family had been born in Jiangzhou. If the Chen family really became an eighth-grade family, the situation in Jiangzhou would definitely change.

Especially the head of the Song family, an eighth-grade aristocratic family in Nanyang County. At this moment, his eyes were narrowed, and wisps of killing intent appeared before quickly dissipating.

"Dao Xuan will obey the edict."

The moment Sect Master Wang finished speaking, the white-robed old man with white hair and a white beard cupped his hands and accepted the order.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

After the Howling Moon Wolf was taken away, Chen Yang returned to his seat calmly. However, the moment he sat down, he glanced at Gongsun Miao.

Other people might not think much of this gaze, but to Gongsun Miao, it was a great humiliation.

Chen Yang was undoubtedly saying that the Gongsun family's plan had failed.

The dedication ceremony was still in progress, but with the Chen family in front of them, the remaining gifts did not give everyone a sense of satisfaction.

After knowing that the last family had offered a gift, everyone raised their wine and congratulated the Young Sect Master.

At this point, the celebration ended. Chen Yang and Chen Xuan followed Master Dao Xuan to the courtyard where he lived and discussed the treasures given to the Chen family.

"Please have a seat." As soon as they entered the courtyard, Venerable Dao Xuan gestured for the two of them to sit at the stone table.

On the other hand, Master Dao Xuan picked up a pot of tea and poured a cup for Chen Yang and Chen Xuan under their trembling gazes.

"That beloved disciple of mine, your Patriarch, loves my tea the most. In the past, when we were in the Beastmaster Sect, that brat stole a lot of my tea."

At this point, Venerable Dao Xuan could not help but look happy. However, in the blink of an eye, this joy turned into pity.

"Unfortunately, your Chen family was too weak. My beloved disciple had no choice but to return to the family to take charge. If he doesn't have any opportunities in this life, I'm afraid his path to Ningdan will be cut off."

"Forget it, don't be sad. You're the Family Head of the Chen family, right? Tell me, what reward do you want?" Master Dao Xuan smiled and looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang first looked at Chen Xuan, then made a decision in his heart. "Lord, I only want the Beastmaster Sect to mediate the conflict between the Chen family and the Gongsun family."

"As for the other rewards, I'm willing to give them all to Venerable Dao Xuan to show my filial piety."

Lord Dao Xuan was stunned at first, then he scolded jokingly, "You sly little thing, do you know how many disciples I have?"

"Lord, you have accepted a total of 103 disciples."

"Then you know that your Patriarch is the only one who can receive the title of beloved disciple."

"This…" Chen Yang pretended to be puzzled as he looked at Venerable Dao Xuan. He was already overjoyed.

"Don't pretend to be confused. I won't be greedy for your reward. Just ask for the reward." Venerable Dao Xuan saw through Chen Yang's thoughts.

When Chen Yang heard this, he took a deep breath. "Venerable One, we're short-sighted. Please decide on the reward for us."

"You, how you try to kiss my ass in all ways. Fine. I'll help advise you."

Venerable Dao Xuan took a sip of tea, then looked straight at Chen Yang. "I reckon that you guys want that cultivation technique that can break through to the Ningdan realm."

"After all, with this cultivation technique, your Chen family has a chance to become an eighth-grade family. However, I don't recommend you to choose."

"Why is that?" Chen Yang asked cooperatively.

"That's because your Chen family isn't strong. With this cultivation technique, you'll only attract trouble. Moreover, this cultivation technique is quite valuable. If you want this, don't even think about obtaining any more benefits."

"It would be impossible in future to ask the Beastmaster Sect to stop the Gongsun family," said Venerable Dao Xuan.

The value of a Ningdan cultivation technique far exceeded that of a demon beast with the bloodline of a Demon Venerable.

After all, there was only one demon beast, but the Ningdan technique could create an eighth-grade aristocratic family. It was extremely valuable.

"Therefore, I suggest that you ask for less. This will not only enrich your family, but will also leave the Beastmaster Sect indebted to you. In the future, we can help you with your development and block some dangers for you."

Hearing Master Dao Xuan's words, Chen Yang subconsciously nodded. Not bad, it was no different from my own judgment.

"As for what reward you want, think about it yourselves. I'll just help you judge if it's suitable."

As Master Dao Xuan spoke, he leisurely picked up his tea and quietly waited for Chen Yang's reply.

As for Chen Yang, he had already thought of the benefits he could obtain from this trip.

"Lord, I want to ask the Beastmaster Sect to give our family another demon beast breeding qualification."

"This way, our family's spirit stone profits will increase greatly. There will also be resources for our Patriarch to cultivate in peace."

"After all, my Patriarch has worked too hard for the family. It's time for him to enjoy life."

Chapter 7

When Venerable Dao Xuan heard this, he could not help but feel a little sad.

On the path of martial arts, Qi Refinement, Genesis, Ningdan, Purple Core…

No matter which realm it was, it could not do without the help of resources. And his most beloved disciple had pretty much cut off his path to condensing his core because of the burden of his family.

Thinking of this, Venerable Dao Xuan placed the teacup on the stone table. "Don't worry about this. I'll at least apply for a breeding line for a peak-level Tier 1 demon beast for you."

"I thank you on behalf of the Patriarch!" When Chen Yang heard this, his eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Good child, it's your Patriarch's good fortune to have a descendant like you." Venerable Daoxuan waved his sleeve and an invisible spiritual energy wiped the tears from the corners of Chen Yang's eyes.

"You flatter me."

Seeing Venerable Dao Xuan's satisfied expression, Chen Yang could not help but snicker in his heart.

It seemed that the acting lessons he had paid for in his previous life had not been in vain. This was good. He would probably be able to get a lot of benefits if the Beastmaster Sect owed him.

"Apart from the production line, I have no other requests."

Chen Yang planned to retreat in order to advance and let Venerable Dao Xuan take the initiative to benefit the Chen family.

Sure enough, when Master Dao Xuan heard this, he looked relieved. "Child, don't worry about me. Forget it, I'll give your Chen family a Meridian Unlocking Pill."

"This will also allow your Chen family to stabilize the foundation to become a ninth-grade aristocratic family. However, you won't have any benefits next. After all, the Beastmaster Sect still has to stop the Gongsun family from dealing with your Chen family."

"These are enough! Chen Yang thanks you again."

At the side, Chen Xuan was almost dumbfounded. The Beastmaster Sect had given him alot this time, but from the looks of it, the Beastmaster Sect seemed to still owe the Chen family.

The art of language.

The ancients were right.

After the two sides discussed the reward, Venerable Dao Xuan asked Chen Yang and his companion to wait in his courtyard.

As for himself, he went to the Sect Master's Hall to apply for the Chen family's reward.

Two hours later, Venerable Dao Xuan came with a white jade pill bottle.

As soon as they met, Venerable Dao Xuan went straight to the point. "The reward is here. First, the breeding line you want."

"After discussion with the sect, we've decided to let you raise the Green-horned Bull. Although this Green-horned Bull is a demon beast with a peak Rank One bloodline, it still has a chance of breaking through to the Demon General Realm."

"Therefore, the value of this Green-horned Bull is quite high. Although the sect doesn't need many of them, I estimate that it can still create 2,000 spirit stones of profit for you every year."

"In a while, I'll get my disciple to bring the two of you to collect ten Green-horned Bulls."

"Also, this is a Meridian Unlocking Pill. Take it and go back."

"Thank you, Master!" Chen Yang received the white jade bottle respectfully. Then, he followed Master Dao Xuan's disciple and received ten adult Green-horned Bulls, five of them male and five female.

The Chen family's Ten Thousand Beast Technique had a simple secret technique to control demon beasts. It was relatively easy to control the Green-horned Bull and successfully put it into the Beast Taming Bag.

After receiving these rewards, Chen Yang and Chen Xuan did not dare to delay. They hurriedly led everyone back to the family clan.

Eight days later, looking at the gradually becoming clear city gate of Maple City, Chen Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm finally back. I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back with the treasure."

"The Chen family has to thank Family Head for obtaining so many treasures this time."

"There's no need to thank us as a family. Let's go into the city!"

Immediately, Chen Yang rode the Gale Wolf and led the others into Maple City.

The Chen family.

As soon as Chen Yang returned to the clan, he pulled Chen Xuan and the other seven elders into the meeting hall.

At this moment, other than the Ninth Elder who was guarding the breeding base, all the powerful figures of the Chen family were in the meeting hall.

Glancing at everyone, Chen Yang took out a jade bottle containing the Meridian Unlocking Pill. "There are two things. First, I've decided to give the Meridian Unlocking Pill rewarded by the Beastmaster Sect to the First Elder."

Chen Yang's words caused a huge commotion in the meeting hall.

Chen Xuan immediately stood up and objected, "Family Head, you can't do that. This Meridian Unlocking Pill is a seventh-grade pill. It can increase the probability of breaking through to the Genesis Realm by 30%."

"How can I withstand such a precious pill? In my opinion, this pill should be given to you, Family Head."

"There's no need to discuss this matter. I'm the head of the family. I have the final say." Chen Yang waved his hand and stopped Chen Xuan.

"The First Elder has worked hard and is a martial artist at the peak of the Qi Refinement realm. Logically speaking, I hope you can understand why I want the First Elder to use this Meridian Unlocking Pill."

"However, First Elder, you owe the family a lot of contribution points this time."

"We understand." The head of the family did not object, and the other elders were even less likely to find themselves uncomfortable.

Chen Xuan looked around and sighed before taking the Meridian Unlocking Pill.

"Family Head, don't worry. I, Chen Xuan, will definitely be under your command for the rest of my life. No matter how high my realm is, I will not say anything else. If I violate this oath, I will be killed!".

Chen Xuan suddenly made a martial arts oath in front of everyone.

In this world, martial arts oaths were remembered by the Heavenly Dao. Although the Heavenly Dao did not have the time to punish you according to the contents of the oath, it was still relatively easy to kill you.

The reason why Chen Xuan swore in front of so many people was to show his loyalty to Chen Yang.

On the other hand, he was telling the other elders that times had changed. It was now Chen Yang's era.

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment before he understood what Chen Xuan meant. He immediately smiled bitterly. "Is there a need for First Elder to do this?"

"Alright, let's continue with the second matter. The Beastmaster Sect has rewarded the Chen family with the right to raise Green-horned Bulls."

"I've decided to open up half of Green Mountain as a breeding base for the Green-horned Bulls."

"But this way, Green Mountain will definitely not have enough people. Are any of you willing to help Ninth Elder?"

The eight elders looked around. Then the eighth elder got up from his chair and cupped his hands. "Family Head, I'll go."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Eighth Elder. Dismissed."

Chen Yang handed the Beast Taming Bag to the Eighth Elder and left the meeting hall under the respectful gazes of the elders.

In Chen Yang's courtyard.

After dispersing the maidservant, Chen Yang released the Dao Integration Bead.

"Dao Integration Bead, refine energy." According to the information given by the Dao Integration Bead, the energy accumulated every day had a certain limit.

Therefore, Chen Yang planned to see where the energy limit of the Dao Integration Bead was.

Following Chen Yang's order, the Chen family's luck gathered beside the Dao Integration Bead and was devoured bit by bit.

Only after consuming 1% of the Chen family's luck did the energy absorbed by the Dao Integration Bead reach its current limit.

"One percent? That's normal." Chen Yang nodded. It seemed that the Dao Integration Bead still knew its limits.

The luck of a family was not static. Logically speaking, it was normal for it to fluctuate within three percent.

"For the time being, I'll use the Dao Integration Bead to absorb energy to its limit. This way, it'll be easier for me to make arrangements in the future."

Chen Yang planned to define these energies with numbers. This would also help Chen Yang understand how much energy was needed to strengthen it to a certain extent.

Chapter 8

"According to the information of the Dao Integration Bead, this one percent of the clan's luck will be restored in seven days."

"And once the First Elder breaks through to the Genesis Realm, the Chen family's luck will soar. At that time, the interval will be shortened again."

"In short, according to the current situation of the Chen family, they can still continuously provide energy for the Dao Integration Bead."

Putting away the Dao Integration Bead, Chen Yang was still relatively optimistic about his future.

Knock knock knock!

Just as Chen Yang was about to cultivate, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Family Head, the lord and lady would like you to dine with them," said the maid outside the door.

"Alright, I'll be right there." Chen Yang could only give up and head to his parents' courtyard.

"Father, Mother, I'm here." The Chen family home was not too big. It did not take Chen Yang long to reach his destination.

"Yang'er is here. Wash your hands and come eat."

Seeing Chen Yang come over, Chen Yang's mother, Shen Meng, greeted him warmly.

At the dining table, Chen Yang looked at his father, who was holding a wine glass and looking a little hesitant. He put down his chopsticks. "Father, just say what you want to say."

When Chen Yang's father, Chen Hou, saw this, he sighed. "Alright, I'll get straight to the point. Your mother and I plan to move to the library and guard it for our Chen family."

"Why are you guarding the library for no reason?" Chen Yang asked.

"It's like this. Although you are the head of the family, the family always had to ask for my opinion first in some matters."

"At first, I was also afraid that you couldn't handle it, so I didn't say anything. But now that my son has saved the Chen family from danger, I naturally can't do that anymore."

"My actions are to tell everyone that the head of the Chen family is my son, Chen Yang, and not Chen Tao," Chen Hou said excitedly.

After understanding the reason, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Father, there's no need for that. The First Elder has already sworn to be loyal to me forever."

"Plus with the gift-giving incident, the entire Chen family will listen to me. Father doesn't have to do this."

"There's such a thing?" Chen Hou was stunned for a moment. He had considered this matter repeatedly before gritting his teeth and making this decision.

From the looks of it, it was all useless?

And that First Elder. Aren't you usually very arrogant? What medicine did my son feed you to make you so obedient?

"Father, there are already people guarding the library. I think you should focus on cultivating and breaking through to the Genesis Realm."

"After all, a Qi Refinement martial artist's lifespan is less than 100 years. Only by opening his meridians can he live for 200 years."

"Genesis realm? You think too highly of your parents." Chen Hou smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"Your father is now 46 years old, but he's only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, which is similar to your realm. And your mother is only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement."

"The two of us can't break through the Genesis Realm no matter what."

"What's wrong with that? Even if your aptitude isn't good, we can use resources to help you to your breakthrough," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Yang'er shouldn't talk nonsense."

When Shen Meng heard this, she said with a serious expression, "Yang'er, you're the head of the Chen family. You have to be fair in everything. You can't be biased."

"Besides, only a seventh-grade faction can casually push someone into the Genesis Realm. Yang'er, don't spout nonsense."

Shen Meng did not want her son's reputation to be tarnished because of her.

"I understand the logic here. Doesn't our family have a contribution system? When the time comes, I'll use my contribution to exchange for resources for the two of you. It won't be considered favoritism."

"You two still have fifty years to break through to the Genesis Realm. I'm also confident that I can turn the Chen family into a seventh-grade family within fifty years," Chen Yang teased.

"Don't be ridiculous. Can you do something that so many ancestors failed to do?"

Chen Hou glanced at Chen Yang and continued, "Also, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your mother and I are happy just seeing that you have a family and a career. That's enough."

Chen Hou looked like he was blaming him, but his words were still filled with worry.

After that, none of the three of them mentioned this matter. They happily finished the meal while chatting.

After dinner, Chen Hou continued, "Yang'er, I've decided still to guard the library with your mother."

"Listen to me first. I'm no longer the head of the family and can't receive resources. Not only can I help you by going to the library, but I can also receive cultivation resources from your mother and me."

"Didn't you say you wanted us to break through to the Genesis Realm? Naturally, we have to prepare early."

"Don't you still have me…" Chen Yang wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Chen Hou.

"You're talented and smart, so you need more resources. I'm your father, so this matter is settled. We'll talk about other things after you become a Genesis Patriarch."

Chen Yang wanted to say something, but seeing that his parents had already made their decision, he stopped talking.

With the Dao Integration Bead, the Chen family's future would definitely not be limited to a seventh-grade aristocratic family. At that time, it was not impossible to push his parents to the Genesis Realm or even the Ningdan Realm.

"Alright, Yang'er, go do your thing."

"I'll take my leave."

After leaving his parents' courtyard, Chen Yang returned to his own courtyard to cultivate. The elders were watching over the family matters. Unless something major happened, Chen Yang had to make the decision.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

In this month, Chen Yang had completely stabilized his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. Moreover, he had also used the Dao Integration Bead to accumulate four points of energy.

"Family Head, the Second Elder requests your presence in the Council Hall."

On this day, just as Chen Yang was about to cultivate, the Second Elder suddenly sent someone to invite Chen Yang over.

Ever since Chen Xuan broke through in seclusion, most of the matters in the Chen family were handled by Second Elder Chen Meng.

After arriving at the meeting hall, Chen Yang went straight to the point. "Second Elder, why are you looking for me?"

Chen Meng was not as kind as Chen Xuan. Instead, he was a little serious. However, at this moment, Chen Meng grinned.

"Patriarch, this is great news. Among the Gale Wolves in our family, a Mystic Wind Wolf with the bloodline of a demon general suddenly mutated."

"Oh, bring me to take a look." Chen Yang's eyes lit up. If it was true, then his natal beast would be settled.

"Please come with me."

Immediately, under Chen Meng's lead, the two of them quickly flew towards the green mountain outside Maple City.

Beside the green mountain, the Eighth and Ninth Elders were already prepared. When they saw Chen Yang coming over, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, Family Head."

"No need to be so formal. Where's that Mystic Wind Wolf?"

"Please come with me."

Immediately, the Ninth Elder, Chen Yang, led him to an iron cage that contained the Mystic Wind Wolf.

The Mystic Wind Wolf looked similar to the Gale Wolf. The only difference was the size difference.

An adult Gale Wolf would not be more than two meters long, but an adult Mystic Wind Wolf could grow to 3.5 meters.

"Family Head, you haven't refined your natal beast yet. I suggest that you refine this Mystic Wind Wolf," Ninth Elder said.

Chapter 9

"I have the same intention. Deduct my contribution points according to their value." Chen Yang was very satisfied with this Mystic Wind Wolf, so he did not refuse.

"There's no need. According to the rules, there's no need to deduct contribution points to refine your natal beast." The Ninth Elder waved his hand.

Hearing the Ninth Elder's words, Chen Yang did not hesitate and brought the Mystic Wind Wolf back to his courtyard.

…

"You're all dismissed."

After dispersing the others, Chen Yang opened the iron cage door, and the Mystic Wind Wolf walked out step by step.

Then, it lay quietly in front of Chen Yang.

Sometimes, Chen Yang was also a little curious. Why were the demon beasts raised by his family so acquiescent?

Thinking about it, it must be due to the Ninth Elder.

Back to business.

Looking at the Mystic Wind Wolf in satisfaction, Chen Yang activated his spiritual energy and used his right finger as a blade to cut the center of his left hand.

A drop of blood essence was forced out of Chen Yang's body.

Immediately, Chen Yang's right index finger held this drop of blood essence and pressed it on the forehead of the Mystic Wind Wolf.

"By my blood, I swear the oath of heaven and earth. Will you submit?"

No matter which cultivation technique it was for natal beasts, the basic essence was to communicate with the world and make an oath with demon beasts.

The demon beasts could refuse of course. After all, if their master died, their natal beasts could not survive either.

Chen Yang naturally respected the Mystic Wind Wolf's choice and looked at it very kindly.

After the Mystic Wind Wolf agreed to become his natal beast, Chen Yang dispersed the terrifying spiritual energy gathered in his right hand and touched the Mystic Wind Wolf's forehead.

My Chen family's demon beasts are still more sensible.

With the help of his natal beast, Chen Yang's personal strength had also increased significantly.

Natal beasts were not like ordinary beasts. Although ordinary beasts could also be controlled by others, there was still a possibility of rebellion.

But natal beasts were different. No matter what their master did, natal beasts could not rebel.

Since his natal beast was so special, he naturally could not refine it too much.

According to the ancient records of the Beast Taming Sect, one could only refine one natal beast, while opening meridians was two…

With every major increase in realm, the number of natal beasts that could be refined increased by one.

This was the rule of this world. No matter how powerful a cultivation technique was, it could not be violated.

Of course,there was no such restriction on ordinary beasts.

If Chen Yang was willing, he could use the Ten Thousand Beast Technique to refine as many ordinary beasts as he wanted.

"Mystic Wind Wolf, you will cultivate in my courtyard. There will be people bringing you food every day. Don't attack them."

The Mystic Wind Wolf nodded. Although its intelligence was not high, it could still understand this basic need for food .

Seeing that the Mystic Wind Wolf was so sensible, Chen Yang was relieved to leave the Mystic Wind Wolf in the courtyard and deal with the other matters of the family.

The Mystic Wind Wolf's current strength was only at the mid-First Realm and could not help Chen Yang much. It was better to raise it here and wait for the Dao Integration Bead to accumulate enough energy before helping the Mystic Wind Wolf increase its strength.

In the following days, Chen Yang did not encounter any major events. He basically dealt with the family matters in the morning and cultivated in the afternoon.

This went on for half a month.

Half a month later, in the afternoon, when Chen Yang was cultivating in the courtyard, a seven-year-old child stumbled in.

"Seventh Uncle, Grandpa invites you over."

"Oh, it's Mingde. You said that your grandfather invited me over. Has the First Elder come out of seclusion?" Chen Yang picked up the child and asked with a smile.

This child was the grandson of the First Elder and also the son of the eldest son of Chen Yang's generation.

Starting from the next generation, the Chen family decided on the generational name.

This Chen Mingde was the eldest of the Ming generation.

In the past, because the Chen family had only become a ninth-grade aristocratic family not long ago, there had never been any generational name. Now that the Chen family had more and more direct descendants, they naturally had to establish a seniority.

As for the collateral relatives, that didn't matter.

"Yes, Seventh Uncle. You'd better hurry." Chen Mingde's little head nodded slowly.

"Good. Seventh Uncle will be right there."

After kissing Chen Mingde's chubby little face, Chen Yang quickly rushed to the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, Chen Xuan, who had broken through to the Genesis Realm and become the patriarch of the Chen family, was feeling extremely comfortable.

After more than a month of seclusion, Chen Xuan did not disappoint the family's expectations and successfully broke through to the Genesis Realm.

Although he was only at the first level of the Genesis Realm, he could still give the Chen family a shot in the arm.

At the very least, even if the Beastmaster Sect did not stop them, the Gongsun family would not dare to attack the Chen family. At most, they would just harass them.

"Congratulations, First Elder. No, I should call you Patriarch Chen Xuan now."

Chen Xuan was feeling smug when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He immediately jumped down from his chair and quickly put on a smile.

"Family Head, you're flattering me. It's fine if it's others, but why are you calling me Patriarch? I think you should call me First Elder."

Chen Xuan quickly led Chen Yang to the main seat. He did not have the airs of a Genesis Patriarch at all.

After Chen Yang sat down, he waved his hand and gestured for the other elders to sit down. "This time, the First Elder has broken through to the Genesis Realm. Naturally, congratulations."

"Second Elder, pass down the order to send invitations to all the ninth-grade aristocratic families in Nanyang County. Tell them that my Chen family wants to hold a Genesis Feast."

"Yes!" Chen Meng nodded.

However, Chen Xuan was a little hesitant. "Family Head, isn't it a little too ostentatious?"

"What do you mean ostentatious? We just gave the Beastmaster Sect such a big gift. At the very least, no family will dare to provoke us in the past ten years."

"Now that we're holding the Genesis Feast, not only will it not be ostentatious, but it will also make the other families even more afraid of us. It will also be quite beneficial to our business."

Seeing that Chen Yang had already made his decision, Chen Xuan did not say anything else.

"The matter of the Genesis Feast has been settled. Elders, is there anything else?" Chen Yang asked.

The other elders looked at each other. In the end, it was Chen Meng who stood up from his chair. "Family Head, the new year is in a month."

"According to the past, the family head needs to inspect the family business so that he can arrange the cultivation resources for the family members next year."

"The New Year is coming…"

Chen Yang was looking forward to the New Year in this world.

"Then there's no time like the present. After the meeting, Second Elder and I will check on the family's business."

"Family Head, are we still holding the annual hunt?" The Second Elder asked another question.

Hunting at the end of the year was a special day for Jiangzhou families and sects.

Jiangzhou was located at the border of the Great Qian Dynasty, close to the Endless Mountains. The Endless Mountains were filled with a huge number of demon beasts.

In order to ensure the safety of the people, the major families and sects would regularly conduct a clean up to ensure the safety of Jiangzhou.

"Things are different now. Let's cancel the hunt this year." Chen Yang thought about it and decided to cancel the hunt this year.

Chapter 10

There were countless dangers hidden in the Endless Mountains. Although relatively speaking, the Chen family would also not go deep into the mountains.

According to the distance that the Chen family had entered in the past, if not for the fact that the Genesis Patriarch guarded them day and night, none of the people who participated in the hunt would have been able to return.

Although Chen Xuan had broken through to the Genesis Realm, he had only just broken through after all. His strength was far inferior to their Genesis Patriarch.

After some consideration, Chen Yang decided not to hold a hunt.

The other elders nodded. This was exactly what they were thinking as well.

At this moment of great change, stability was still the priority.

"Is there anything else? If not, First Elder, let's patrol the family business."

"No problem."

Immediately, under the lead of the First Elder, Chen Yang officially inspected the Chen family's business. The first stop was Green Mountains outside Maple City.

As the most important industrial base of the Chen family, Green Mountains was naturally guarded by many clansmen. Moreover, they had specially hired array masters to inscribe array formations to ensure the safety of the Gale Wolf.

When Chen Yang and Chen Xuan arrived at Green Mountains, Ninth Elder and Eighth Elder had been waiting for a long time.

"Family Head, First Elder, let me briefly explain the Green Mountains business. This year, the sales of Green Mountains was a total of 2,300 spirit stones. After deducting the consumption of the Gale Wolf's food, there are still 1,500 spirit stones left," Ninth Elder said.

"So much food was consumed?" Chen Yang did not expect that the consumption of food alone had reached 800 spirit stones.

"Family Head, this is necessary. Only by feeding demon beast meat for a long time can the Gale Wolf's growth speed and quality reach the standard."

"If you feed it ordinary beast meat, not only will it grow slowly, but it won't reach the standards of the Beastmaster Sect either. It can't be sold," Chen Xuan explained.

Chen Yang understood. "In that case, you earned another 500 spirit stones this year?"

"That seems to be the case for now, but I don't think it will happen next year." The Eighth Elder looked worried.

When Chen Yang saw this, he immediately became nervous. "What's going on? Did something happen?"

"Family Head, it's like this. The Green-horned Bulls will give birth next year. In order to raise the Green-horned Bulls, we have to leave some spirit stones next year."

"I see."

Hearing Ninth Elder's explanation, Chen Yang could not help but smile bitterly. This was really a blissful worry.

"It doesn't matter. I reckon that in three years, the first batch of Green-horned Bulls will be sold to the sect. At that time, Green Mountains' spirit stone profits will increase."

"Just hang in there for a while. It'll pass soon enough."

Chen Yang patted the Ninth Elder on the shoulder, indicating that they did not have to worry.

Not long after, the inspection of Green Mountains' business was completed. Although Green Mountains' business was the main business of the family, it was the most difficult place for problems to arise.

The more precious this business was, the less sordid it would be.

After bidding farewell to Green Mountains, Chen Xuan led Chen Yang to the Chen family's second largest business, the Chen family's farm.

"Family Head, our farm has a total of 10,000 acres of fertile land. What we produce now though is only ordinary rice, so we can only sell it for Great Qian Gold."

"But with so much food, mutated spirit rice will appear every year. It can also bring considerable benefits to the family."

The First Elder explained the business of the farm to Chen Yang as he pushed open the door.

In the Chen family's farm, the tenant farmers were seriously plowing the Chen family's farmland under the arrangement of the collateral disciples.

Many people in Maple City were willing to become the tenant farmers of the Chen family.

After all, the Chen family had already entered the ranks, and spirit stones were what they valued the most. As for the Great Qian Gold, it was barely tangible for them. They just needed enough to maintain their lives.

In fact, with the size of the Chen family, a ninth-grade family, there might be a shortage of spirit stones, but there was no way they could spend all the Great Qian Gold.

The Chen family, which was rich in Great Qian Gold, was naturally extremely charitable of these tenant farmers.

Although the land was not their own, the income of the tenant farmers was far higher than that of the other self-owned farmers in Maple City.

When they saw Chen Yang and Chen Xuan enter, the collateral relatives in charge of this place came up to them.

"Greetings, Family Head. Greetings, First Elder."

"Alright, there's no need to be so polite. I'll accompany the Family Head to inspect the situation at the farm. Send one of you to follow us, the rest of you go do whatever you have to do."

The First Elder waved his hand and dismissed these people. Then, he followed Chen Yang into the farmland.

The collateral family member in charge of following him followed behind without a word, waiting for Chen Yang's question.

"How much spirit rice was born this year?"

Hearing Chen Yang's question, the collateral family member hurriedly replied, "Family Head, according to my estimation, about a thousand catties of spiritual rice will be born this year."

"Only a thousand catties?"

Chen Yang frowned. One acre of land could probably produce 700 catties of rice, but 10,000 acres of land could only produce 1,000 catties of spiritual rice.

In other words, not even a catty of spirit rice could be produced in an acre.

This kind of naturally mutated spirit rice was basically ninth-grade spirit rice. One spirit stone could buy ten catties.

Didn't that mean that the entire Chen family manor could only produce 100 spirit stones?

Seeing Chen Yang frown, the branch family member felt as if he was in an ice cave. He could not help but tremble.

He wondered what he had done wrong to upset the head of the family.

"It has nothing to do with you." Fortunately, Chen Yang saw the man's nervousness and explained, which made the man heave a sigh of relief.

At the side, Chen Xuan understood what Chen Yang meant. "Family Head, this year is still considered a good time."

"What do you mean?" Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan.

"Family Head, for some reason, the spiritual energy in Maple City is much richer than in previous years. Even the amount of rice that mutated into spirit rice has increased."

"If it were in the past, 250 catties would be considered to be pretty good," Chen Xuan said happily.

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Chen Yang was relieved. "If only my Chen family also had a spiritual field."

The spiritual field was a good thing. Not only did the rice planted automatically become spiritual rice that produced spiritual rice, but it could also grow spiritual herbs.

"Under the lead of the Family Head, I believe our Chen family will definitely have spiritual fields." Chen Xuan flattered Chen Yang.

Chen Yang glanced at Chen Xuan. "You're already a Genesis Patriarch. Why are you still sucking up to me?"

"You can't say that." Chen Xuan said righteously, "I'm just telling the truth. How can the truth be flattery?"

Immediately after, Chen Xuan put on a smile. "Besides, even if I become a Ningdan expert, I will always be loyal to the Family Head."

"However, whether I can break through to the Ningdan realm will depend on the family head."

"Okay, we will see."

After inspecting the spiritual field business, Chen Yang sat at a stone table and stared at the endless fertile land.

What a waste.

This was the only thought in Chen Yang's mind.

After a week of inspection, Chen Yang discovered that the people here cultivated farmland without any concept of fertilization at all. They relied on their natural growth.

The Chen family was not bad. They would buy some insect repellent medicine, but that was all.

Chapter 11

Perhaps there was no shortage of food here, or he had chosen the wrong technology tree. In any case, there was no concept of fertilizer in the Great Qian Dynasty.

This gave birth to an idea in Chen Yang's heart. What would it be like if he introduced fertilizer in the family?

Of course, the Chen family also has no need for more ordinary food. But what if the spirit rice could also be nourished by fertilizer and increase its output?

The essence of fertilizer was to provide nutrients for food. For spirit rice, substances that contained spiritual energy were the best fertilizer for spirit rice.

Then the next problem was very simple. Find something that contained sufficient spiritual energy but was not needed by humans.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yang immediately informed Chen Xuan.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. "Family Head, the Great Qian Dynasty has similar thoughts as well."

"However, they all use treasures that contain sufficient spiritual energy to nurture spirit rice. The spirit rice they nurture is also much better than ordinary ones."

"But I've never heard of using that kind of waste to cultivate spirit rice.

Can this work? How can spirit rice absorb trash that even the human race looks down on?"

According to the First Elder's understanding, only precious treasures could nurture precious spirit rice.

"First Elder, you can't say that."

"To give the simplest example, that Green-horned Bull feeds on spiritual herbs, but what will happen if it feeds the spiritual herbs to the Gale Wolves?" Chen Yang said with a smile.

"I'm afraid they'll all starve to death."

"That settles it. The trash that we humans view as trash might be a precious treasure to the spirit rice."

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up. Then, he slapped his thigh. "That's right. Why didn't I think of this?"

Chen Yang smiled but said nothing.

It could only be said that the land in this world was too fertile. There was no need to worry about increasing food production.

The forces that could cultivate spirit rice were extremely rich. Even if they wanted to increase the production of spirit rice, they would not think of using trash.

Moreover, fertilizer only increased production, while those large factions pursued higher-quality spiritual rice.

For various reasons, the concept of fertilizer had never spread in this world.

"First Elder, can you think about any type of trash that can be used as nourishment for the spirit rice?"

"Nourishment? That's a good term. As for trash that contains spiritual energy, our Chen family can't come into contact with much."

Due to the sudden mention of this, the First Elder could not react for a moment.

"First Elder, as far as I know, this Green-horned Bull has a habit of ruminating. For the sake of the Green-horned Bull's health, we will throw away the spiritual herbs that it spat out."

"Then feed new spirit herbs to ensure that the Green-horned Bull grows normally."

"Wouldn't it be a good use of trash to use these spiritual herbs that have been spat out as fertilizer?"

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up. "That's right. Although that spiritual herb doesn't have much spiritual energy left, it's quite suitable as fertilizer."

"Of course, the premise of all this is that the spirit rice can absorb the energy. Family Head, I suggest that we don't rush to promote it. Let's choose a batch of spirit rice to try first."

"That's what I was thinking." Chen Yang did not dare to guarantee that his thoughts were correct. Since the First Elder felt that he had to experiment first, he would agree.

After the two of them finished discussing, they immediately called the person in charge of the Chen Manor to inform him of their discussion and asked him to record the growth of the spirit rice.

Although the person in charge was puzzled, he agreed obediently.

After leaving the manor, Chen Xuan brought Chen Yang to inspect the other businesses of the Chen family. However, these businesses only reaped profits in the form of Great Qian Gold, so Chen Yang did not feel inclined to use science to increase his profits.

…

"According to the statistics, the family's income this year is 1,600 spirit stones. Excluding the 600 spirit stones that are set aside for any unforeseen needs. The cultivation resources that we can allocate next year are 1,000 spirit stones."

In the meeting hall, Chen Xuan talked non-stop about the results of the inspection.

The other elders' eyes revealed joy. The family's profits this year were much higher than in previous years, so the number of spirit stones they could be allocated would also increase.

The Chen family distributed a certain number of spirit stones for free. If one wanted to receive more spirit stones, they would need contribution points and certain conditions.

After listening to Chen Xuan's explanation, Chen Yang took the lead and said, "Everyone, let's discuss the distribution method."

As usual, the First Elder spoke first.

"Family Head, the resources we can allocate this year are twice as much as last year. I suggest we directly double them."

After hearing the First Elder's words, Chen Yang shook his head. "We can't do that anymore. If our family wants to develop, we have to abandon this backward distribution method."

'Backward?'

The elders were confused. Wasn't this how all the families in Nanyang County allocate their resources?

Seeing the elders' confusion, Chen Yang said, "Let's not talk about the Collateral Branch first. Let's talk about the Direct Line."

"In my generation of disciples, everyone obtained the same number of spirit stones, but what happened in the end? Some people's realm didn't increase at all in the past year, while others advanced an entire level."

"Granted, talent may be one of the reasons, but it's also a fact that hard work by the individual is also a factor."

Hearing the Family Head's words, most of the elders lowered their heads. This was because Chen Yang was talking about their children.

The Chen family was a rising family, and the direct descendants were all the children and wives of the elders.

Among them, there was only one old man left from the previous generation, who was the father of the First Elder.

There were only ten people in the elders' generation. Including his wife, there were twenty people. In the Chen family, concubines were not considered direct descendants.

As for Chen Yang's generation, there were a total of 15 people. Other than the eldest who was married, they were all single.

Including Chen Mingde of the next generation, there were a total of 38 direct descendants of the Chen family.

Back to business.

Chen Yang took in the expressions of the elders and continued, "I propose that we implement the sequence plan from today onwards.

The disciples of the family are divided into three sequences. The cultivation resources that each sequence can receive for free are different."

"As for the judging standard of the sequence, it's based on the comprehensive judgment of the increase in strength last year and the individual talent."

"It's not allowed if you're talented but don't work hard. But it is also not allowed if you only work hard but is going in the wrong direction."

"Everyone, what do you think?" After saying that, Chen Yang looked at the elders.

The elders were stunned by Chen Yang's words. For a moment, no one could react.

In the end, it was Chen Xuan who came back to his senses first. "Family Head, I agree. We should have done this long ago. Let them have a taste of the hardships our ancestors went through to build this family business."

The other elders quickly agreed.

"That's right. I've long disliked my son. He does nothing all day long. Now, I can restrain him."

"That's right. In such a situation, if you don't want to work hard, then just be a sponger. The Chen family can still afford it."

Seeing that the elders agreed with him, Chen Yang nodded in relief.

Although he could not guarantee that his method was correct, it would definitely be better than blindly distributing it equally.

"As for the collateral relatives, we'll follow the same plan as the direct descendants. By the way, we have to pay more attention to business. It's almost the new year, don't appear…"

"Report!!!"

Before Chen Yang could finish speaking, a member of the collateral family dressed in armor quickly ran into the meeting hall.

"What is it?"

The clansman took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Family Head, the Song family's envoy requests an audience."

"The Song family? Why is the eighth-grade family Song family from the prefecture capital suddenly visiting us?" Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Chen Yang.

"Hmph! I'm afraid they have ill intentions." Chen Yang waved his hand. "Let's welcome the Song family's envoy."

"Yes!"

The collateral family immediately retreated. Not long after, the envoy representing the Song family entered the meeting hall.

"Greetings, Family Head Chen Yang and the elders."

Chen Yang pretended to be kind and asked with a smile, "Did you come here to convey something?"

"I wouldn't dare! The head of the Song family has something to ask the Chen family for help with," the envoy said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Hearing the envoy's words, Chen Yang was a little puzzled. What did the Song family need the Chen family's help with? "What is it?"

"Our Song family plans to join forces with all the ranked families in Nanyang City to attack the demon beasts in the Endless Mountains at the end of the year."

"My family head said that this is for the sake of the people of Nanyang County. Please do not decline."

'So that's what happened…'

Chen Yang felt that this matter was definitely not simple, but the Song family had already alluded to this as a matter of righteousness, so the Chen family could not refuse.

"Go back and tell your family head that my Chen family has agreed."

"Yes! Please send the Chen family to Mo City in five days. Don't be late. By the way, each family must send at least twenty people, and they must all be at the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm or above."

After bowing to Chen Yang, the envoy left the meeting hall arrogantly.

After the envoy left, the smile on Chen Yang's face instantly disappeared. "Tell me, what is the Song family up to?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Xuan asked, "Family Head, there are a total of five cities in Nanyang County that border the Endless Mountains. Why did the Song family choose Mo City?"

Chen Yang nodded. "First Elder is right. According to the distance and proximity, our Maple City is the closest to the Endless Mountains."

"The closest to the Song family is Liu City. No matter how I look at it, one wouldn't choose Mo City."

"Unless …"

"Unless there are secrets that the Song family values hidden in the Endless Mountains bordering Mo City." Chen Xuan continued.

"That's right! Third Elder, send a few smart clansmen to investigate the situation outside Mo City first," Chen Yang instructed.

"As for the other elders, make preparations in advance. Since the Song family has made a move, we'll take it."

"It's just that, First Elder, your Genesis Feast will have to be postponed."

"That's fine. Family matters are more important." Chen Xuan did not care about his Genesis Feast at all.

"Alright, meeting dismissed then."

As Chen Yang announced the end of the meeting, the elders quickly took action, preparing for the annual hunt.

Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.

At this moment, in the main city of Nanyang County, which was Song City.

The head of the Song family looked at the noble young man in front of him and said obsequiously, "Young Lord, please forgive me for saying too much. When will the person you invited arrive?"

"Of course, I'm not suspecting the young prince. It's just that this matter is too serious. If we make such a big fuss, it will definitely alert the Beastmaster Sect."

"Without that person, I'm afraid my Nanyang County won't be able to withstand it."

The young prince glanced at Family Head Song and hid the contempt in his eyes. He smiled like a spring breeze. "Family Head Song, don't worry."

"I value that matter more than you. How can I not be fully prepared? Family Head Song, don't worry."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry."

…

The news that the Song family had summoned all the ninth-grade aristocratic families in Nanyang County to enter the Endless Mountains to kill demon beasts had already spread.

Although the citizens of Nanyang County did not know why the Song family did this, the result was indeed to protect their safety.

For a while, Nanyang County was filled with praises for the Song family.

Meanwhile, the various families in Jiangzhou raised a question at the same time. What was hidden in the Endless Mountains that made the Song family make such a big fuss?

For a while, forces above the eighth-grade took action successively.

Even the ruler of Jiangzhou, the Beastmaster Sect, sent people to infiltrate Mo City. In an instant, Mo City became a place full of talented individuals in hiding.

However, this had nothing to do with the ninth-grade aristocratic families in Nanyang County. If they participated in such a game between major power forces, it would only end in death.

Only by playing dumb and following the instructions of the Song family would there be a chance of survival.

The time set by the Song family soon arrived. In Mo City, the ten ninth-grade aristocratic families of Nanyang County gathered.

After the Song family arrived, the group headed towards the Endless Mountains.

After these families left, mysterious figures also quietly disappeared, secretly following the pace of the alliance army of the families in Nanyang County.

Outside Mo City, after half a day of traveling, the group had already traveled about 300 miles. This place was adjacent to the Endless Mountains.

At this moment, Family Head Song gestured for everyone to stop. "Everyone, the goal of our trip is a thousand miles of the Endless Mountain Range."

"What? A thousand miles deep?"

The words of the head of the Song family caused a huge commotion in the aristocratic families. The head of the Mo family took the lead and said, "Family Head Song, there are demon beasts at the Demon Venerable level living within 1000 miles of the Endless Mountains."

"And we didn't even bring the Genesis Patriarch on this trip. Isn't it too dangerous?"

"That's right, Master Song. Isn't this too dangerous?"

Hearing the words of the family heads, Family Head Song frowned. Then, a terrifying aura burst out from his body.

The moment they were enveloped by this aura, the other Family Heads felt as if they were in an ice cave and instantly fell silent.

Seeing that everyone had quietened down, Family Head Song smiled in satisfaction. "Everyone, we are here for the safety of the people of Nanyang County.

If we don't hurt these demon beasts, how can we make them stay in the Endless Mountains obediently?"

"As for the Demon Venerable, you don't have to worry. The Ningdan Patriarch of our Song family is here too."

As if to verify Family Head Song's words, an inconspicuous old man in the Song family's camp suddenly emitted a terrifying aura that far exceeded Family Head Song's.

Sensing this terrifying aura, everyone trembled.

The Ningdan Patriarch of the Song family was indeed here too!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 13

"Greetings, Exalted One!"

Sensing the terrifying aura emitted by Ningdan Patriarch of the Song Family, the group hurriedly bowed.

Under normal circumstances, people would address Ningdan Patriarch respectfully as the Exalted One. After all, the Exalted Cultivator Ningdan was the general title of this realm.

Ningdan was only the simplified name.

Moreover, he could already be called a Patriarch after achieving Genesis. If he is still addressed as Patriarch after achieving Ningdan level, it would not show enough respect for a Ningdan expert.

Of course, it didn't matter if it was his own family. After all, he was really their patriarch.

"There's no need for formalities. I'm only here to ensure that you won't be attacked by demon beasts at the Demon Venerable level. The rest is up to you."

After the old esteemed one said this, Venerable Ning Dan retracted his aura.

The people from the various families also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Do you have any other objections?" Family Head Song glanced at the other family heads smugly.

"But won't entering from such a long distance delay the annual worship of the ancestors?" Another family head asked worriedly.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, the worship of ancestors at the end of the year was a big deal. If the worship was delayed because they entered the Endless Mountains, no one would be willing to pay heed even if it was the Song family.

"Everyone, don't worry about that. The purpose of our trip is not to eliminate all the demon beasts within a 1000-mile radius. Instead, we're only targeting the demon beasts within the 1000-mile to 1100-mile radius."

"As for the demon beasts within a thousand miles, they won't be too dangerous to their respective cities.

"And your mounts are all capable of traveling a thousand miles a day. If we hurry, we'll definitely be able to resolve it within twenty days. We won't delay the worship of our ancestors."

Family Head Song was right. Although the ninth-grade families in Nanyang County were not all Beast Tamer Families, they still controlled some demon beasts as mounts.

Hearing this, no one had any reason to object.

Then, under the lead of Family Head Song, a group of more than two hundred experts above the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm headed into the Endless Mountains.

On the way, Chen Yang, who was riding the Gale Wolf, quietly moved to Chen Xuan's side. "It was the right choice to let the First Elder come."

"Looks like the Song family is definitely not up to anything good."

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the Song family members a few kilometers away. "Family Head, don't worry. I'll risk my life to ensure your safety."

"That won't be necessary. Just be careful when the time comes."

…

After a day of traveling, everyone finally arrived at their destination before nightfall.

Immediately, under the lead of their respective family heads, temporary residences were established one after another. After arranging for the night guards, the group slept.

The next morning, the Family Heads who had rested for the night gathered around Family Head Song and waited for his orders.

"Everyone, the range of our hunt this time is 1100 miles east-west and 100 miles north-south."

"I propose that these areas be divided into eleven portions for everyone to choose. Since my Song family is the one who suggested it, you can all choose first. My Song family will choose the last one."

"In addition, our Ningdan Patriarch will also constantly patrol the hunting area to ensure that the Demon Venerable won't disturb our hunting trip."

"Everyone, don't worry for now. At this distance, there's only a possibility of demon beasts at the Demon Venerable level appearing."

Hearing this, the family heads became even more puzzled.

Judging from the current situation, Family Head Song was indeed wholeheartedly organizing the hunt. He even sent out his Patriarch to ensure their safety.

But the more this was the case, the more panicked they became. How could the head of an eighth-grade aristocratic family be so benevolent?

"Everyone, choose your area of responsibility."

Family Head Song ignored the doubts in everyone's hearts and opened a map, waiting for Chen Yang and the others to choose.

When the others saw this, they could only brace themselves and choose their hunting area. The Chen family's hunting area was the westernmost area, adjacent to the 10,000-foot-tall mountain.

And just as Family Head Song had said, the Song family really chose the last piece of the chassis without any objections.

Seeing that Family Head Song was so carefree, everyone could only comfort themselves that Family Head Song might really be planning to clean up the demon beasts.

After collecting the area they were responsible for, everyone took a spare map from Family Head Song and left.

After Chen Yan and the other Family Heads had left, Family Head Song hurriedly bowed to a person dressed as a general. "Young prince, you can begin."

"Okay." Excitement flashed in the eyes of the gener… no, the young prince.

After returning from the Song family, Chen Yang did not delay. He immediately led the Chen family to the west.

After half a day of trekking, the Chen family arrived at their destination.

After arriving at their destination, the Chen family was not in a hurry to hunt. Instead, they first built a simple residence and placed some high-level demon beast feces outside the residence before starting to hunt.

In the blink of an eye, the various families of Nanyang County had been hunting in the Endless Mountains for ten days.

In these ten days, the hunting area 1000 miles away from the Endless Mountains was turned upside down by Chen Yang and the other families.

One level-one demon beast after another was killed by everyone. Even if they encountered demon beasts at the demon general level, they could successfully trap and kill them with the exquisite cooperation of everyone.

The Song family even sent a team led by the Genesis Patriarch to support the various families.

This moved the family heads. It seemed that this family head was really doing this for everyone's good.

However, what everyone could not figure out was that hunts usually had to be quiet to avoid attracting the attention of high-level demon beasts.

However, the members of the Song family did not care about this. All kinds of loud martial arts were used, turning the silent forest into a bustling city.

In a cave in the hunting area, a python demon beast that emitted a terrifying aura and had scarlet eyes spat out its tongue.

Hearing the commotion outside, the python demon beast instinctively wanted to fight, but after glancing behind it, it temporarily held back.

However, as time passed, the bloodthirsty instinct in the python demon beast's bloodline could no longer be concealed. After hesitating for a moment, it rushed out.

…

BANG!

After Chen Yang killed a mid-stage First Realm demon beast with a punch, he couldn't help but shake his head. "Our family's martial arts are really bad."

"As one with eighth level of Qi Refinement, I still need to spend a lot of effort just to deal with a mid-stage First Realm demon beast."

"Family Head, our Beast Tamer family is all about beasts, so we naturally don't have any demands on martial arts."

"Besides, our Chen family isn't strong, so we don't have a chance to find good martial arts," Chen Xuan explained.

Chen Yang sighed. "I understand what the First Elder means, but can the Beast Tamer Families not pay attention to their own strength?"

"If nothing else, when you're controlling your beast to fight for you, you need to keep yourself safe from ambushes."

"Family Head, you're right. Perhaps our family should focus more on the development of martial arts."

Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable for a ninth-grade family to not have the strength to match even that of an unranked martial artist." Chen Xuan nodded.

"Go back …"

Just as Chen Yang was about to say something, the ground suddenly trembled.

Sensing the aura seeping from the north, Chen Yang narrowed his eyes. "Demon General!"

"Everyone, pay attention. A demon general-level demon beast is approaching us. Control your natal beast. We're going to surround and kill this demon general this time!"

The First Elder hurriedly called out to the Chen family. The Gale Wolves bared their sharp fangs and waited for the enemy to arrive.

Not long after, the demon general-level demon beast revealed its true appearance.

This demon beast was completely khaki-colored, and the one-meter-long horn on its forehead flickered with a cold light. Eight meters long and five meters tall, it made the Gale Wolf look like a doll in front of it.

"It's actually the Rock Horn Rhinoceros."

After seeing the species of this demon beast, Chen Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Although this Rock Horn Rhinoceros was at the demon general level, its attack power was not too high.

The only thing that needed attention was the rhinoceros horn on its head.

"Family Head, everyone, this is a Rock Horn Rhinoceros. Its defense is extremely high, but its attack power is not strong. Be careful not to be hit by the horns on its head. We can slowly grind it to death!"

Hearing the First Elder's words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They immediately urged the Gale Wolves to harass the Rock Horn Rhinoceros.

"Family Head, don't worry. This Rock Horn Rhinoceros is here to give us spirit stones." Chen Xuan was clearly a little excited. He looked at the rhinoceros in front of him and was eager to give it a try.

If not for the fact that he had to protect Chen Yang, Chen Xuan would probably have rolled up his sleeves and attacked personally.

"I understand." Chen Yang was also a little excited. The Rock Horn Rhino's hide was a rare refining material. This hide could probably be sold for a hundred spirit stones.

As for the Rock Horn Rhino's horn, it's hardness was incomparable. If it was sold, people would probably be willing to buy it for 200 spirit stones.

"Moo!"

After nearly two hours of siege, the Rock Horn Rhino could not take it anymore and fell to the ground.

Its entire body was covered in the teeth marks and claw marks of the Gale Wolves.

Seeing the Rock Horn Rhino in this state, Chen Xuan immediately felt his heart ache. "What a pity. This beast skin has been damaged to such an extent. Its value will probably be greatly reduced."

"Fortunately, nothing happened to the Rhino Horn. Otherwise, this operation would have been a huge loss."

Immediately, Chen Xuan called for the Chen family to cut up the Rock Horn Rhinoceros. As a family of Beast Tamers, the Chen family was best at cutting up demon beast corpses.

In just a moment, the rhinoceros horn and beast skin were placed in front of Chen Yang. As for the meat of the Rock Horned Rhinoceros, there was no way to take it away, so he let the Gale Wolves eat their fill.

"Family Head, keep it first. After all, only you have a Cosmic Bag here," Chen Xuan said.

Chen Yang nodded and immediately waved his right hand, putting the animal skin and rhinoceros horn into his Cosmic Bag.

This Cosmic Bag was a good thing. It had a space inside and could store items. It was considered to be the same as the Beast Taming Bag.

However, it was not as valuable as the Beast Taming Bag. After all, the Cosmic Bag could only store dead things, while the Beast Taming Bag could store living things.

The Chen family had a total of two Cosmic Pouches. One of them was taken away by the Genesis Patriarch, and the other fell into the hands of the family head.

After putting away the spoils of war, Chen Yang said to everyone, "Everyone has worked hard in this battle. Let's rest for a while before hunting."

"Yes!"

Immediately, the group of people sat on the ground and tried their best to recover their spiritual energy.

As for Chen Yang, he was still thinking about the motives of the Song family.

At this moment, a person suddenly ran over from the east. Judging from his attire, he seemed to be from the Mo family of the Nine Great Clans.

"What happened?" Chen Yang stopped him.

"There's… there's a Demon Venerable demon beast. I advise you to run quickly. Several families have already been killed by this demon beast."

After saying that, the man quickly broke free from Chen Yang and ran west.

"There's actually a Demon Venerable-level demon beast. No, no matter if the information is true or not, we have to run quickly." Chen Yang did not care if the information was true or not and hurriedly called out to everyone.

Before Chen Yang could say anything, the ground suddenly trembled. A terrifying aura came from the east and seeped into everyone's hearts.

"Run!"

At this moment, Chen Yang could not explain anything. He immediately led the Chen family to the west. When the other clansmen saw this, they hurriedly followed Chen Yang.

Not long after the Chen family left, a blue python with star-shaped beast eyes crawled to this place.

It swallowed the person in its mouth and flicked its tongue.

After sensing the aura of Chen Yang and the others, the python's eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty light as it quickly rushed in the direction of the Chen family.

"Do you see what that is, Family Head?"

Chen Yang, who was fleeing on the Gale Wolf, hurriedly looked back when he heard this and saw the most terrifying scene so far.

A giant snake that was dozens of meters long was rushing towards them.

"Run quickly!"

Immediately, the Chen family no longer dared to hide. They frantically activated the Ten Thousand Beast Technique to increase the speed of the Gale Wolf.

"No! Family Head save me!"

Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, he was not faster than the python.

The python crawled a little and rushed behind the Chen family. Then, it stuck its tongue and swept the last member of the Chen family into its mouth, becoming the python's dinner.

Although Chen Yang's heart ached, he also understood that he could not stop at this moment. He could only lead his clansmen forward.

"Family Head, there's no way out!"

The Chen family members who were running wildly looked at the 10,000-foot-tall mountain in front of them and their hearts sank.

Damn it, how did we get to the peak so quickly? I remembered that it was still a long way away!

Chen Yang looked at the mountain peak not far from him with a resigned expression.

Forget it. It was time.

"Family Head, run quickly. I'll cover you!" At the brink of death, Chen Xuan went all out and released the aura of a Genesis Realm expert, planning to stall for time for Chen Yang.

"First Elder, it's useless. It's not like you don't know how powerful a Demon Venerable is. Forget it." Knowing that he would die, Chen Yang did not intend to struggle anymore.

The demon beast seemed to want to play with the Chen family as well. It was not in a hurry to eat them. Instead, it spat out a mouthful of blood.

This fishy wind quickly arrived beside Chen Yang, then swept up the Chen family and went up towards the mountain peak.

A trace of excitement flashed in the python's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, replaced by deep confusion.

Because in its vision, the Chen family, who should have been smashed into meat paste, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"What is this place?"

Chen Yang opened his eyes. It was pitch black in front of him, and only a few Night-Luminescent Pearls were embedded in the stone wall, providing faint light.

With the faint light of the Night-Luminescent Pearl, Chen Yang could tell that this place seems to be a cave.

I was clearly blown to the peak by the python. Why am I here?

"Everyone, wake up." Chen Yang, who felt that this place was not simple, quickly woke everyone up.

These people were also shocked by the scene in front of them. They could not understand why they were here.

However, Chen Xuan had a guess. "Family Head, we seem to have entered a maze."

"A maze?" Chen Yang looked around. "Does First Elder mean that this place is fake?"

"But I feel that all of this is true." As he spoke, Chen Yang even patted the stone wall embedded with the Night-Luminescent Pearls.

"Family Head, there's something you don't know. A maze that disrupts people's vision and gives them hallucinations is just a simple maze. A truly powerful maze has the ability to change the realities."

"I once heard from the Patriarch that according to the ancient books of the Beastmaster Sect, there is a kind of maze that looks no different from the outside world. The people inside the maze can even communicate with the people outside.

But in fact, this maze is something else."

"Martial artists need to enter the maze at a specific location and follow a specific pace. In this maze, space is compressed together."

"In a nutshell, one step inside a maze like this could mean miles outside."

"If I'm not wrong, we entered the interior of this giant peak through that kind of maze," said the First Elder.

Hearing the First Elder's words, Chen Yang nodded. "What the First Elder means is that we can enter the mountain through the maze."

"That's true. Even if it's a demon beast at the Demon Venerable level, it's not something we can catch up to."

"I was still a little curious about why that demon beast has not caught up to us. It turns out that we unknowingly entered the maze."

"Family Head is right. It's also because of this maze that we survived." The First Elder sighed.

"Who on earth set up such a powerful maze in the Endless Mountains?"

Chen Yang was confused. A maze of this level could not be set up casually.

Could it be that there was some treasure here that required the expert to spend so much effort to cover up?

"Forget it. Let's go in and find out."

Immediately, Chen Yang led the Chen family into the cave with the help of the Night-Luminescent Pearls.

There was no sun or moon in the cave, so there was naturally no concept of time.

After walking along the dark cave for an unknown period of time, Chen Yang and the others finally found a ray of light.

"Be careful, everyone. There might be something hidden here."

After reminding everyone, Chen Yang and Chen Xuan looked at each other and walked towards the light at the same time.

Only after the two of them left the cave did they find out the source of the light.

This was a huge hemispherical space with a radius of about ten miles.

Above the dome, a moth about a thousand meters tall floated. Although its wings did not move, they kept emitting a blazing fire.

On the ground were courtyards These courtyards looked messy, but from above, they looked like some kind of array formation.

"What's that?"

Chen Yang immediately saw the huge moth on the dome. A thousand-meter beast. Not to mention Maple City, even the Great Qian Dynasty had never heard of it.

"I don't know either." Chen Xuan's jaw dropped. This huge beast not only exceeded Chen Yang's imagination, but also his understanding.

"So what should we do now?"

Stuck at the exit of the cave, Chen Yang did not know whether to advance or retreat.

"Why don't we leave?" Chen Xuan glanced at the moth and swallowed, thinking of retreating.

"Alright, let's leave then." Chen Yang did not want to lose his life because of the treasure. Although the treasure was good, he had to be alive to enjoy it.

Immediately, Chen Yang waved his hand and quietly retreated into the cave.

"Cultivator, since you're here, why are you leaving?" At this moment, a light voice suddenly sounded.

"Who is it?" In an instant, Chen Yang and the others shivered and looked at the underground cave with fear.

"Me."

Chen Yang looked up and saw the light blue eyes of the giant moth on the dome.

"Demon beasts can… can speak?"

"Nonsense. When a demon beast grows to a certain level, it will naturally speak. You haven't answered my question. Since you're here, why are you leaving?" The giant moth blinked, and its beast eyes revealed a playful look.

Hearing the giant moth's words, Chen Yang's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. Oh no, this demon beast was probably an old demon. How could he escape now?

With the giant moth forcing him, Chen Yang could only brace himself and say, "We didn't mean to barge into Senior's resting place. Senior, please forgive us."

"I didn't say I blamed you guys. Again, why leave when you're already here?"

"It's… it's because we're too weak to bear the legacy of this place." Chen Yang was worried about how to answer when he suddenly glanced at the courtyard below and immediately had an idea.

"You know yourself. Unfortunately, since you're here, there are only two answers. One is to become the heir to this place. The other is to die!"

This light voice entered the ears of Chen Yang and the others like the sound of hell. No one doubted the words of the giant moth. Such a huge beast could kill them as easily as crushing an ant.

"Alright, Senior. I'm willing to accept the test and become the successor." The moment the giant moth finished speaking, Chen Yang quickly agreed.

It was so fast that the giant moth was stunned for a moment. After a while, a light voice sounded again.

"Good. From today onwards, you are the new successor of the Yang Sect."

Chen Yang: ???

'That easy, that sloppy?'

As if seeing Chen Yang's confusion, the giant moth slowly said, "I've been here for too long. I just want to get out now, no matter the price."

"Then why can't I use the loophole in the oath to seek benefits for myself?"

"Anyway, I'm the one who decides if you're qualified. If I say you're qualified, you're qualified. It doesn't matter who comes."

The giant moth seemed to recall some bad memory, and its entire body trembled with anger.

As a result, the entire dome seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, a blue light screen protected the dome from collapsing.

"Senior, now that I've become the successor, can you leave?" Chen Yang couldn't wait for this fellow to leave.

"Not yet. I still need you to receive all the legacies of this Yang Sect before I can leave." The giant moth shook its head.

"Every courtyard has a legacy or treasure left behind by the Yang Sect. Only after receiving all of them can it be considered complete."

"All received?"

Chen Yang looked at the dense courtyard and swallowed his saliva. There were so many inheritances. If he accepted all of them, how long would they have to wait!

"Why? Do you want to obtain the entire inheritance at once? With your current strength, you can't do it."

"But don't worry, you can leave at will. You can come back to accept the inheritance when you're ready," the giant moth said.

"Senior, aren't you afraid that we won't be able to return?" Chen Yang was really not used to the giant moth suddenly being so easy to talk to. He subconsciously felt that there was a conspiracy.

"Hmph! Ask yourself that. See if you'll come back on your own?"

"That's true. How can I give up with such a precious treasure in front of me?" Chen Yang smiled and ignored this question.

It was impossible for anyone to give up such a precious inheritance. The Giant Moth was naturally not afraid that they would never return.

"By the way, you're the first person to come in after all these years. As a reward, I've decided that anyone who follows you in is an inheritor."

"Hurry up and call everyone you know. Complete this damn inheritance so I can be freed."

The light voice carried the thick resentment of the giant moth and sounded in Chen Yang and the others' ears again.

The light voice carried the thick resentment of the giant moth and sounded in Chen Yang and the others' ears again.

Chen Yang was stunned. This giant moth would do anything to hand over this inheritance.

"Why not? That Old Li didn't say that he could only choose one heir. I think the people who came with you are all dragons and phoenixes among men. They are favored by the heavens, so they can naturally be heirs," the Giant Moth said disdainfully.

Chen Yang was speechless.

"Since Senior has said so, I will thank you." As he spoke, Chen Yang glanced back. "Aren't you going to thank Senior?"

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Alright, alright, hypocrites. If you really want to thank me, hurry up and take the assessment."

The sudden shout of the giant moth made everyone jump and run to the courtyard area. Everyone chose a courtyard.

"After entering, don't force the inheritance. Your safety is the most important." Before entering, Chen Yang reminded them one last time.

"We understand."

Whoosh!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yang officially pushed open the courtyard door in front of him.

…

In the outside world, the appearance of the Demon Venerable made all the aristocratic families participating in the hunt gather together to fight against the Demon Venerable with the Ningdan Patriarch of the Song family.

"Spirit Eye Python, how dare you attack my Nanyang people? Aren't you afraid that the Beastmaster Sect will skin you alive?" The Song Family Ningdan Patriarch berated.

Upon hearing the words 'Beastmaster Sect', a trace of conflict flashed across the Spirit Eye Python's eyes. However, it was quickly invaded by its bloodlust and continued to charge at the aristocratic families.

"Damn it, isn't it said that this Spirit Eye Python is extremely intelligent and calm and won't attack humans easily? This Spirit Eye Python is simply crazy." Gongsun Miao broke down.

As a beast-taming family, Gongsun Miao did not dare to say that he knew all the demon beasts, but he still knew the famous Spirit Eye Python in the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, the Spirit Eye Python in front of him was completely different from the usual Spirit Eye Python. It was bloodthirsty and impulsive. It did everything that a Spirit Eye Python does not do.

"Could it be that it's pregnant?" The head of the Mo family, another Beast Tamer family, raised a different opinion.

"Pregnant?" After being reminded by the head of the Mo family, Gongsun Miao snapped out of his daze. "Yes! It's rumored that once the Spiritual Eye Python gets pregnant, its temperament will change drastically."

"Not only is it bloodthirsty, but it will also rush out and tear apart anything in the outside world."

"Although this Spirit Eye Python is quite strong and has a certain level of self-control, it caused too much commotion when we hunted. This beast's nature has already suppressed its rationality."

Hearing Gongsun Miao's words, everyone finally understood why the Spirit Eye Python was charging at them without any regard for its life.

At the same time, he also felt a little resentful towards the Song family. This was because during the hunt just now, only the Song family had caused a huge commotion.

However, what they did not know was that the Song family had done this on purpose to lure the Spirit Eye Python out.

Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.

In the cave of the Spirit Eye Python, a man in black entered. He ignored the small Spirit Eye Pythons and picked up a small red snake.

After putting the little snake into the Beast Taming Bag, this person immediately turned around and left. At this moment, a cold snort entered his ears.

"Hmph! Did you want to swallow this Scarlet Flame Python alone?"

Following the cold snort, three Ningdan Venerables, who were dressed in the uniforms of the Beastmaster Sect, emitted a terrifying aura.

"Heh, I didn't expect to see a Scarlet Flame Python in the Spirit Eye Python's cave. This is really strange. Could it be that the female Spirit Eye Python has mated with a Scarlet Flame Python?"

"Elder Qiu, you can't spout nonsense. The disciples will misunderstand. The Scarlet Flame Python and the Spirit Eye Python are mortal enemies. How can they reconcile?"

"Then Elder Wu, why do you think there's a Scarlet Flame Python in the Spirit Eye Python Cave?" Elder Qiu smiled.

Elder Wu snorted at the man in black. "Hmph! There are many situations. For example, although the Spirit Eye Python and the Scarlet Flame Python are mortal enemies, it still likes some snake-type demon beasts with the Scarlet Flame Python bloodline."

"There were some fortuitous encounters that led to his bloodline reverting to its original state and becoming a Scarlet Flame Python."

Besides, it might be the Spirit Eye Python that captured it as food for the Little Spirit Eye Pythons. But based on the current situation, the first possibility is very likely."

"After all, this man pointed straight here. He must have received the news in advance."

"Oh, I see." Elder Qiu agreed exaggeratedly. Then, he stared at the man in black in front of him and a murderous aura gradually surrounded him.

Surrounded by three Ningdan experts, the man in black was not nervous at all. Instead, he showed a golden token.

"This is what my master wants. Please give me some face."

Seeing this token, the three of them narrowed their eyes at the same time. Elder Qiu braced himself and said, "I didn't expect it to be that person's request. Then we will naturally give in."

"However, I'm very curious. With that person's strength, he shouldn't be interested in this Scarlet Flame Python."

"Not interested? Hmph! Everyone from the Beastmaster Sect is so arrogant. You don't even like the Scarlet Flame Python with the Demon King bloodline."

"Besides, this thing is for my little master to use as a beast tamer. Please give my master some face."

Although the man in black sounded like he was pleading with the Beastmaster Sect, his expression was provocative, aii he was afraid that these people would not attack.

"Well …"

The three elders of the Beastmaster Sect looked at each other. Then, Elder Wu took a step forward. "Since your family needs it, we naturally have to give in."

"I just have a question for you. With your family's power, you can easily obtain the Scarlet Python without revealing anything. Why are you making such a big fuss?"

Chapter 17

"This is my master's assessment for Little Master. To see if my Little Master can obtain the Scarlet Flame Python with my help alone."

"I wonder if you will accept this reason."

"By the way, the Spirit Eye Python in this nest is attacking many families in Nanyang County. As the ruler of Jiangzhou, shouldn't your Beastmaster Sect interfere?"

With that, the man in black left in front of the three Beastmaster Sect elders.

After the man in black completely disappeared, Elder Qiu said, "Do you believe him?"

"How is that possible? Everyone in the Great Qian knows that that guy dotes on his children the most. What test? All nonsense."

"Well for what reason they did this, I'm not sure either. However, a Scarlet Flame Python cub is not enough to make our Beastmaster Sect become enemies with that person.

"Besides, that guy hasn't emitted a trace of aura from the beginning to the end. It's obvious that he doesn't want to fight us. In that case, let him go," Elder Wu said.

"Fair enough."

Immediately, the three elders quickly left and rushed towards the Spirit Eye Python Demon Venerable. The black-robed man said something right. As the ruler of Jiangzhou, the Beastmaster Sect naturally could not watch the demon beasts attack the Jiangzhou families.

In the Endless Mountains, beside a stream, the young prince was squatting by the shore, teasing the fish in the stream.

Suddenly, the man in black arrived. The young prince said without turning his head, "How did it go?"

"Young Lord, I did not disappoint you."

"Alright, let's go." A hint of joy appeared on the young prince's face. Then, he pinched the baby fish in his hand to death and washed his hands with the stream water before leaving with the man in black.

On the way, the man in black looked at the young prince hesitantly. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Young prince, please forgive me for saying too much. Why did you do something unnecessary?"

"You have to know that if our prince's residence secretly takes action, we can also obtain this Scarlet Flame Python cub. This way, we can save a lot of trouble."

"Do you know who the father of this Scarlet Flame Python is?" The young prince did not answer the man in black but asked another question.

"Father? There are too many demon beasts with the bloodline of the Scarlet Python. I'm not sure."

"Let me tell you, this beast's father is the Scarlet Flame Demon King." The young prince smiled.

"What?" The man in black revealed a look of disbelief. "How is that possible?! The Scarlet Flame Python and the Spirit Eye Python are mortal enemies. How can they bear children together?!"

"Are you doubting my information?" The young prince paused slightly and glanced at the man in black.

Sensing the young prince's gaze, cold sweat appeared on the man in black's forehead. "I wouldn't dare!"

"It's best if you don't dare." The young prince snorted and continued to explain the situation.

"Although this Scarlet Flame Python might have reached the Demon King level, its bloodline is at the Demon King level. There's still a clear difference in talent between it and a genuine Demon Prince's descendant."

"Take this Scarlet Flame Python for example. Only if my father is a Demon King will I have an 80% chance of becoming a Demon King in the future."

"As for ordinary Scarlet Flame Pythons, there's only a 40% chance," the young prince said.

"But, as far as I know, that Scarlet Flame Demon King is the son of that person."

"We made an agreement with that person. If they don't attack the Great Qian, our royal family won't attack its descendants.

If the patriarch finds out about what we're doing now, I'm afraid even the king won't be able to protect you. Is it worth it for a beast that might become a Demon King in the future?" The man in black was a little worried.

When the young prince heard this, he glanced in the direction of Nanyang County. "That's why we need these guys."

"This place is filled with the auras of the Beastmaster Sect and the Jiangzhou aristocratic families. You didn't reveal your aura, so even if that Scarlet Flame Demon King finds out, he will only find trouble with the Beastmaster Sect."

"Besides, even if things get out of hand, do you think the Patriarch will believe that the Scarlet Flame Python and the Spirit Eye Python are harmonious?"

"Not to mention the patriarch, even that person wouldn't believe that his son would take a fancy to a Spirit Eye Python. At that time, the patriarch would definitely think that that person deliberately broke the agreement and looked for trouble."

After hearing the young prince's plan, the man in black could not help but break out in a cold sweat. This plan was too bold. If it was really exposed, it would be beyond redemption.

"Prince, is this worth it?" the man in black suddenly asked.

"Of course it's worth it," the young prince replied without thinking.

Yes, of course, if it was just a Scarlet Python, careful consideration on whether it was worth it would be needed, but if it was matched with Heavenly Poison Fire Gold, everything would be worth it.

The young prince could still remember the words recorded in that ancient book: Heavenly Poison Fire Gold, a fifth-stage rare treasure that can help a Scarlet Flame Python become a King

…

BANG!

Song Family's Ningdan Patriarch, who had once again withstood the attack of the Spirit Eye Python, was looking into the depths of the mountain range.

Damn it, he had already sensed the aura of many old fellows, but these bastards refused to attack. They planned to watch his Song family be dragged to death by this Spirit Eye Python.

Although the Song family had already received many treasures from the young master, he didn't want to die if he could survive.

Immediately, Patriarch Song shouted, "How long do you want to watch? It's just a late-stage Demon Venerable demon beast. If we join forces, we can definitely kill it."

"If we kill the Spirit Eye Python, our Song family doesn't want anything from it!"

"Hahaha, Old Song, you're wrong. How can we let you be killed by the Spirit Eye Python?"

"That's right, that's right. We're just afraid that other demon beasts will barge in. Now that we've investigated clearly, we should take action."

Immediately, Ningdan Venerable Masters emitting terrifying auras appeared one after another. They circulated his spiritual energy and attacked the Spirit Eye Python.

Although the Spirit Eye Python was a late-stage Demon Venerable, it had already lost its mind. Coupled with the fact that it was surrounded by so many Ningdan Masters, it fell to the ground not long after.

Looking at the fallen Spirit Eye Python, the Song family's Patriarch heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he reluctantly cupped his hands at the other ancestors. "Our Song family owes you all a favor."

Although it was painful, it was nothing compared to the young prince's reward.

"Yes? You've settled it?"

At this moment, the three elders of the Beastmaster Sect had also arrived. Seeing that the Spirit Eye Python had been dealt with, they immediately circulated their spiritual energy and quickly left.

As elders of the Beastmaster Sect, they would not covet the corpse of this Spirit Eye Python.

Seeing the Beastmaster Sect elders leave, the various Ningdan Masters heaved a sigh of relief. They immediately split up the Spirit Eye Python and distributed the spoils of war.

"Why do you think this Spirit Eye Python is here alone? Where's the male Spirit Eye Python?"

"Heh, you're too ignorant. The Spirit Eye Python is extremely sensitive before giving birth. It will stay away from all powerful creatures, even its husband."

"I see. That certainly gave us an advantage."

While the many Ningdan Masters were dividing the Spirit Eye Python, in a cold pool five thousand miles away, a fifty-meter-long Scarlet Flame Python slowly raised its head.

Calculating the time, Madam's manic period should have passed. I'll go and see if the Scarlet Python that carries my bloodline has appeared.

After thinking for a moment, Scarlet Flame Demon King slowly left.

…

In the underground cave, after an hour of assessment, the Chen family gathered together again.

"Family Head, I agree with your idea of collecting martial arts. In my opinion, not only are offensive martial arts and movement techniques equally important, but defensive martial arts are also important."

Chen Xuan covered his slightly purple cheeks with a hateful expression.

"What the First Elder said is true. It's not just martial arts. The cultivation of your natal beast and the equipment on your spiritual artifacts have to be displayed openly." Chen Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Later, they looked at each other and sighed together.

"Alas!"

"Tell me, how did you all fail?" Chen Yang looked at everyone.

"I'll go first. Mine is the inheritance of a blacksmith. However, before accepting the inheritance, I have to undergo a small test. That is to defeat a puppet at the peak of Qi Refinement."

"I was puzzled. Why does an alchemist have to check his own strength? In the end, people say that if you can't even swing a hammer, how can you become a grandmaster refiner?"

"Mine is even more ridiculous. The alchemist assessment said that if your strength is not strong, what if your furnace explodes in the future?"

"My inheritance of an array master is similar…"

After hearing everyone's complaints, Chen Yang nodded. "In that case, in the first round of inheritance, we have to defeat the puppets at the peak of Qi Refinement before we can accept the inheritance."

"In that case, the first round of inheritance isn't too precious. Our Chen family should be able to digest it."

"Why don't we go back and increase our strength first? In any case, the strength of this puppet won't change. When we become stronger, we can accept this first round of inheritance," Chen Xuan suggested.

Chen Xuan's words caught Chen Yang's attention. Only then did I realize that even the First Elder who broke through the Genesis Realm had failed.

Sensing Chen Xuan's slightly suspicious gaze, Chen Xuan blushed and stammered, "Family Head, you know me."

Although I've broken through to the Genesis Realm, I don't have good martial arts, hence I can't unleash the advantage of being a Genesis Realm expert."

"Besides, my natal beast is only at the late-stage of level one. It's useless."

"But Family Head, don't worry. When I return, I will definitely find a powerful martial art. At that time, the one lying on the ground will be that puppet."

A smile appeared on Chen Yang's face. "First Elder, I didn't say anything."

When Chen Xuan heard this, his face turned even redder. He waved his hand repeatedly. "Go back, go back. Our families must be waiting anxiously."

Immediately, after a discussion, they decided to go back and rest before returning to accept the inheritance.

At the same time, other than Chen Yang and Chen Xuan, the others had all sworn an oath not to tell outsiders about this place.

As for the Chen family, they could only be informed after the family's assessment and with the approval of the family head.

"Senior, we know that our strength is low. We plan to go back and increase our strength first before coming back for the assessment."

Before leaving, Chen Yang asked the giant moth for instructions. If he left without permission, who knew what would happen?

"Take the map. It records the entrance to the maze and the way to enter. You can increase your strength without worry. I've already waited for so long. A few more years won't make a difference."

Accompanied by a light sound, a map floated in front of Chen Yang.

After putting away the map, Chen Yang cupped his hands at the giant moth again. "Senior, we'll take our leave!"

Then, under Chen Yang's lead, the Chen family left the dome one after another and entered the tunnel, slowly leaving the land of inheritance.

After there was no one around, a light voice sounded again, "Soon, it won't be long before I break free from the shackles of this damn place."

"Those bastards at the Cliff of Beasts must be surprised that I'm still alive. Moo…"

Outside the ruins, looking at the scorching sun above his head, Chen Yang wanted to roar to vent his excitement.

"Finally out!"

In the end, Chen Yang couldn't help but roar.

Although there were many treasures in this land of inheritance, there was a huge beast staring at them from above. This treasure did not feel that good anymore.

"Everyone, rest up. Let's leave quickly. Otherwise, that giant snake will probably come again." Chen Yang did not know that the Spirit Eye Python had already been killed, so he immediately urged everyone to leave.

Immediately, under Chen Yang's lead, the Chen family urged their Gale Wolves to quickly escape.

"Eh? Family Head Chen, you're still alive?"

After walking for about ten miles or so, Chen Yang bumped into someone he knew. He looked up and saw that not far to his right was the group led by the Song family.

"Hmph! This guy is quite lucky!" Seeing Chen Yang and the others return, Gongsun Miao snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Hearing Family Head Song call him, Chen Yang hurriedly urged the Gale Wolf forward. "Family Head Song, you don't know what we encountered. Good lord, it's a Demon Venerable-level demon beast!"

"If that demon beast hadn't stopped chasing us, I probably wouldn't have been able to see you again."

Hearing Chen Yang's sobbing voice, Family Head Song grinned awkwardly.

Good lord, this person's luck was so different from others. On their side, the Spirit Eye Python was fighting desperately, while on Chen Yang's side, the Spirit Eye Python could not even be bothered to chase after them.

Family Head Song did not doubt Chen Yang's words. After all, the Chen family was not the first family to escape.

The Gongsun family, the Mo family, and the Lin family also stopped chasing after the Spirit Eye Python.

However, what Family Head Song did not know was that the Spirit Eye Python did not intend to let the Chen family off. It was just that it was separated by the maze and had no choice but to give up. It was still different from the other families.

"It's good that we survived. The various families suffered casualties during this hunt. The people of Nanyang County will not forget us."

"When we get back, I'll report this to the county governor and have him report this to the state magistrate to reward everyone."

Seeing that Chen Yang was still planning to complain,Family Head Song quickly comforted him.

"Thank you, Family Head Song!" Immediately, all the family heads thanked him. This was a pleasant surprise. Family Head Song was really a good person.

Under the lead of the Song family, the group rushed back. They finally returned to the family before the end of the year and did not miss the ancestral worship ceremony.

However, what these families did not know was that the Scarlet Flame Demon King arrived here a few days after they left.

Looking at the remains of the Spirit Eye Python, the Scarlet Flame Demon King roared at the sky. An aura that swept out for hundreds of miles made the demon beasts in the Endless Mountains tremble.

Then, the Scarlet Flame Demon King came to the Spirit Eye Python Cave. After carefully identifying the aura left behind, a bloodthirsty look flowed in the Scarlet Flame Demon King's beast eyes.

Immediately, the Scarlet Flame Demon King turned around and left.

Chapter 19

In the Chen family's residence in Maple City, Nanyang County.

"I'm finally back." Looking at the Chen family's residence, Chen Yang could not hide his excitement.

"You're finally back, Family Head. I have something important to report."

Just as Chen Yang stood in front of the residence and sighed, Second Elder Chen Meng quickly rushed over and said excitedly.

"Second Elder, what is it?"

"Family Head, the fertilizer plan you set has borne fruit. The person in charge of the estate reported that the spirit rice that was sprinkled with fertilizer is clearly much stronger than the others."

"According to the person in charge, the yield of this spiritual rice will probably double." Chen Meng smiled.

"Really? Quickly bring me to take a look." Chen Yang could not be bothered to return to the family at this moment and hurriedly followed the Second Elder to the Chen family farm.

On the farm.

Chen Yang looked at the rice that was obviously stronger than the other spiritual rice and couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't expect this fertilizer to really be useful. If it's used well, wouldn't spirit stones roll in?"

Immediately, Chen Yang decided that all the spirit rice in the Chen Manor had to be fertilized. As for ordinary rice, Maple City never lacked it anyway, so it didn't matter.

In the following period of time, what the Chen family needed to pay attention to was the annual worship of the ancestors and the Genesis Feast for the First Elder.

Neither of these two major events had any accidents. This made Chen Yang heave a sigh of relief and focus on cultivating.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

In this month, nothing major happened to the major families and forces in Jiangzhou. All of them were developing steadily.

However, an undercurrent had already quietly arrived on Jiangzhou's Beastmaster Sect.

"ROAR!"

Inside the Beastmaster Sect, an angry roar suddenly sounded.

Immediately after, under the shocked gazes of many disciples of the Beastmaster Sect, a 50-meter-long Scarlet Flame Python that emitted a soul-stirring aura appeared in the air.

On the Scarlet Flame Python stood a fox. This fox was a Demon Venerable-level Spirit Ear Fox. It was talented and could speak human language at the third level of the Demon Venerable realm.

Usually, if demon beasts wanted to talk to humans, they would communicate through the Spirit Ear Fox.

"Purple Core Patriarch of the Beastmaster Sect, come out. My king wants to see you!" The spirit-eared fox said arrogantly.

"I was wondering who it was. So it's Scarlet Flame Demon King. What can I do for you?"

As soon as the Spirit Ear Fox finished speaking, an aura that was no weaker than Scarlet Flame Demon King's burst out from the Beastmaster Sect. Immediately after, a white-haired, youthful-looking old man came to Scarlet Flame Demon King with a smile.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

"My king said that you people of the Beastmaster Sect killed my wife and snatched away the descendant that contains my king's bloodline."

"As long as you hand over the murderer and return the king's son, my king will leave," the Spirit Ear Fox translated.

Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Beastmaster Sect frowned. "Kill the son of the king? Scarlet Flame Demon King, are you sure?"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

"Of course. My king has already smelled the aura of your Beastmaster Sect from Madam. Hurry up and hand over the murderer and the eldest prince. Otherwise, the entire Beastmaster Sect will be wiped out."

"Hmph! Scarlet Flame Demon King is so arrogant. If you want to slaughter my Beastmaster Sect, you have to consider your strength."

Seeing the Scarlet Flame Demon King pressuring him, the expression of the Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch instantly turned cold.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

When the Scarlet Flame Demon King saw this, he was also prepared to attack. For a moment, dark clouds covered the Beastmaster Sect.

After a while, it was Scarlet Flame Demon King who compromised first.

"My king said that as long as your sect hands over the murderer, he will leave. If you don't believe my king, you can confront him."

When the Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch heard this, he frowned. In the end, he also took a step back. "May I ask, Your Majesty, how strong is Madam?"

"Demon Venerable."

The Patriarch nodded and said to the back, "All of you, come over and let the king identify you."

Immediately, all the Ningdan Venerable Masters appeared. They stood in the open space and activated their spiritual energies, waiting for the Scarlet Flame Demon King to identify the person.

Only those at the Purple Core Realm could fly in the air, so this group of Ningdan experts could only stand on the ground and wait.

The Scarlet Flame Demon King sniffed carefully and immediately recognized the murderer. His eyes were red as he rushed towards the three of them.

BANG!

At this moment, the Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch stood in front of the three of them and looked at the Scarlet Flame Demon King with an unfriendly expression. "Scarlet Flame Demon King, don't go overboard. This matter has yet to be concluded!"

The Scarlet Flame Demon King knew that if he could not produce any evidence, this old thing would definitely not let him make a move.

Immediately, the Scarlet Flame Demon King roared at the Spirit Ear Fox.

"My Great King said that those three people are the murderers of Madam. My Great King remembers the auras of the three of them." The Spirit Ear Fox pointed at Elder Qiu and the other two.

Seeing that the Spirit Ear Fox was pointing at the three of them, the Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch thought to himself that this was not good. This was because he had personally sent these three people out. Could they have really killed the wife of the Scarlet Flame Demon King?

Immediately, the Patriarch of the Beastmaster Sect flew to the three of them. "Did the three of you kill Scarlet Flame Demon King's wife?"

The three of them shook their heads. "Never."

"Your Majesty, did you see that?" The Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch glanced at the Scarlet Flame Demon King.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

"My king has said that your words do not count. Let these three confront my king." The Spirit Ear Fox quickly translated what the Scarlet Flame Demon King had said.

"Alright, which one of you will go forward and confront the Scarlet Flame Demon King?" The Patriarch looked at Elder Qiu and the others.

The three elders looked at each other, then Elder Qiu took a step forward. "Forget it, let me answer the king's question."

The Patriarch nodded and immediately used his spiritual energy to lift Elder Qiu into the air. "Your Majesty, ask away."

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

"The king said if you've been out in the last three months."

"I went out two months ago." Elder Qiu's expression did not change.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

"Then what's there to talk about? It was during this period of time that the three of you killed my King's wife and took away my King's heir!"

After the Spirit Ear Fox translated, the Scarlet Flame Demon King was about to attack. At this moment, Elder Qiu raised his hand to stop him. "Wait!"

"Your Majesty, it's true that the three of us went out, but the only snake-type demon beast we killed was the Spirit Eye Python. If you don't believe me, you can ask a mighty figure who's good at soul searching to search my soul!"

Elder Qiu was confident that it was impossible for him to kill the wife of the Scarlet Flame Demon King.

"Hiss!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Elder Qiu said this, the Scarlet Flame Demon King became even angrier.

The Spirit Ear Fox looked at the Scarlet Flame Demon King in disbelief. In the end, he braced himself and translated, "My king said that the Spirit Eye Python was his wife."

"Hmph! Scarlet Flame Demon King, are you looking for trouble?" The Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch instantly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and emitted a terrifying aura.

"The Scarlet Flame Python and the Spirit Eye Python are mortal enemies. If you say that the Spirit Eye Python was your wife, you might as well say that a human was your wife!"

Chapter 20

"Not to mention us, would your father believe your nonsense?"

"Scarlet Flame Python and Spirit Eye Python mating? Hmph! If you want to cause trouble for my Beastmaster Sect, why don't you find a better reason?!"

The Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch was a little angry now. This Scarlet Flame Demon King was obviously treating him like a fool. He did not say anything good and postured to fight him.

At this moment, the Scarlet Flame Demon King could not say anything. This old man was right about one thing. Even his father did not believe that his wife was a Spirit Eye Python.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

"My king has said that these three must be handed over to him, whether you believe him or not!"

"Evil creature! You have a death wish!"

Seeing that the Scarlet Flame Demon King was forcing him, the Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch immediately summoned his Demon King-level natal beast.

The battle had officially begun!

This battle severed the spiritual mountains beside the Beastmaster Sect. The rivers flowed in reverse. The entire Beastmaster Sect was like hell on earth.

If not for the help of the sect's protective array formation, the Beastmaster Sect would probably have been destroyed by the aftershock.

The battle lasted for three days before it ended with the victory of the Beastmaster Sect's patriarch. Although the Scarlet Flame Demon King was not weak, this was the Beastmaster Sect's territory after all.

In addition, with the cooperation of the Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch and his Demon King Beast, even the Scarlet Flame Demon King would be defeated.

"Old man, listen. My king said that this matter is not over yet.

"Two years later, the king will return. At that time, it won't be your Beastmaster Sect anymore. The entire Jiangzhou will have to bear the anger of my king!"

After the Scarlet Flame Demon King left, the Beastmaster Sect's ancestor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and came to Elder Qiu and the other two. "Tell me the truth. Did you kill that bastard's spouse?"

"Patriarch, we're telling the truth. We only killed one Spirit Eye Python on this trip."

"Have you seen that little Scarlet Flame Python?" The Patriarch asked again.

"I've seen the Scarlet Python before, but it's the descendant of the Spirit Eye Python. It's probably also mating with other demon beasts with the Scarlet Python bloodline."

"And that Scarlet Flame Python was also taken away by the young prince of the Estate of King De."

"The young prince of King De?" The Patriarch sensed that something was wrong. "Do you mean that the Estate of King De is involved? Is there anything special about this?

Elder Qiu carefully recalled for a while. "There doesn't seem to be anything special. If there is anything, it's that people of the Estate of King De first got the Nanyang Family to lure the Spirit Eye Python away, then sneaked in and stole the Scarlet Flame Python.

"Did the people with Prince De's reveal their auras?" The Patriarch continued to ask.

"No." Elder Qiu shook his head.P

When the Beastmaster Sect's Patriarch heard this, his expression turned ugly. "It seems that what this Scarlet Flame Demon King said is true. That Spirit Eye Python is its spouse. All of you have been used by Prince De."

"How… how is this possible?" Elder Qiu still could not believe it.

After all, the Scarlet Flame Python and the Spirit Eye Python were mortal enemies. It was clearly illogical for the two of them to get together.

"That's most likely what happened."

The people of King De's Estate are domineering. Now that they're so careful about snatching a Scarlet Flame Python and don't dare to reveal their aura, they probably already know that it's the descendant of the Scarlet Flame Demon King." The Patriarch analyzed.

When the three elders heard this, their expressions instantly turned ugly. They did not expect that the three of them would actually be used by the people from King De's Estate.

"Patriarch, why don't we report this matter to the Human King? This matter is clearly the fault of the royal family, but the consequences are for our Beastmaster Sect to bear?"

Elder Qiu was a quick-tempered person to begin with. After knowing that he had been used, he immediately planned to expose this matter.

"No." The Patriarch shook his head. "King De's estate is powerful. The Human King might not favor us."

"Besides, who will believe this if word gets out? At that time, people will only think that we angered the Scarlet Flame Demon King and made the people of the King De's Estate take the blame."

"It's better to endure it for now. When the Scarlet Flame Demon King really plans to make a big deal out of it, we'll report this matter to the Human King in the name of asking for help."

"The reason is that this Scarlet Flame Demon King intends to break the agreement and casually found a reason to attack Jiangzhou.

"When the time comes, we'll secretly advise the Estate of King De. The Prince of De's Estate will know that they're in the wrong and will definitely speak up for us. No matter how big this matter gets, the ones who suffer will be the demon beasts."

"After all, let alone us humans, even demon beasts wouldn't believe that a Scarlet Flame Python could get together with a Spirit Eye Python."

Hearing the Patriarch's words, the three elders revealed admiration in their eyes.

As expected of the Patriarch, he was able to turn something that was unreasonable into reasonable. At the same time, he could make King De's Estate owe them a favor.

The battle in the Beastmaster Sect quickly spread throughout the entire Jiangzhou. Even the Chen family in Maple City knew about this.

However, the Chen family did not have the time to care about such gossip. At this moment, the Chen family was cultivating crazily for the sake of the ruins.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

Due to the sequence system set last year and the fact that there were more spirit stones than in previous years, the cultivation levels of the Chen family had improved significantly.

However, after a year of extravagant cultivation, the Chen family would enter a new round of frugal cultivation.

After all, the Green-horned Bull had already begun to give birth. In order to ensure the production of the Green-horned Bull, the Chen family could only save on their cultivation plans.

Everyone knew that this was a necessary investment in order to have more resources to cultivate in the future. No one had any complaints.

The only consolation was that the production of the spiritual rice with fertilizer had doubled compared to the previous year, providing the family with 200 spirit stones.

The profit of 200 spirit stones was quite a lot. Even if the cultivation resources of the family head doubled last year, it was only 100 spirit stones.

If these spirit stones were provided to Chen Yang, it would be enough for him to cultivate extravagantly for two years.

In Chen Yang's courtyard.

Whoosh!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yang slowly opened his eyes. "In a year, I've reached the peak of Qi Refinement. It seems that this body's aptitude is very extraordinary."

"It's said that seventh-grade factions all have spirit artifacts that test aptitude. I wonder how far my aptitude will reach."

'Not too bad, though, come to think of it.'

The Chen family also had something to test one's aptitude, but it was a little inaccurate. It could only test if one could cultivate, but not accurately test one's specific aptitude.

The Chen family's judgment of aptitude basically depended on how much one's cultivation had increased in a year.

"I've already reached the peak of Qi Refinement. In addition, this Dao Integration Bead has also accumulated 122 points of energy this year."

"Using this energy to increase the cultivation of the Mystic Wind Wolf, we should be able to defeat a puppet at the peak of the Qi Refinement realm."

Ever since Chen Xuan broke through to the Genesis Realm, the Chen family's luck had doubled, and the speed of recovery had also doubled. The energy that Chen Yang could absorb had also doubled.

To put it simply, although they all recovered one percent in seven days, because the total amount of clan luck had doubled, the energy that Chen Yang could absorb had also doubled.

Chapter 21

"To make it easier for me to use the Dao Integration Bead, let's still define the previous year's clan fate as a hundred points. Then the current clan fate is two hundred points."

"At present, with a Genesis expert, the luck of the clan will increase by 100 points. If my Mystic Wind Wolf breaks through to the Demon General realm, it will probably increase by another 100 points and increase the corresponding recovery speed."

"According to the Dao Integration Bead, no matter how much clan luck there is, one percent of the clan luck will always be restored in seven days."

"After the Patriarch returns, the clan's luck will increase even more. After all, the Patriarch and his demon general beasts only provide 100 points of clan luck. It must be because they are far from the clan."

"At that time, the energy that my Dao Integration Bead can accumulate in a year will increase again."

The more Chen Yang calculated in his heart, the brighter his eyes became.

After a while, Chen Yang broke free from his fantasy and focused his gaze on the Mystic Wind Wolf. "Let's see if this bit of energy can push you into the Demon General Realm."

Immediately, Chen Yang waved his hand and gestured for the Mystic Wind Wolf to come over.

When the Mystic Wind Wolf saw its master calling it, it hopped and bounced to Chen Yang's side while wagging its tail.

After a year of nurturing, the Mystic Wind Wolf's strength had improved greatly. Although it was still at the mid-stage of the first level, in terms of strength, it was already comparable to a martial artist at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

Rubbing the Mystic Wind Wolf's warm fur, Chen Yang immediately activated the Dao Integration Bead. "Dao Integration Bead, strengthen the Mystic Wind Wolf's cultivation."

Following Chen Yang's command, a divine energy came out of the Dao Integration Bead and transferred into the Mystic Wind Wolf's body through Chen Yang's left hand.

A terrifying aura also emitted from the Mystic Wind Wolf's body. At the same time, its strength was also constantly increasing.

At this moment, the Mystic Wind Wolf's eyes revealed pain. The terrifying thing in its body constantly brought it heart-wrenching pain.

However, the Mystic Wind Wolf also understood that this thing was increasing its strength. It immediately gritted its teeth and did not move other than letting out a whimper.

Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly. Not long after, the Mystic Wind Wolf did not feel any pain, and its strength also increased by leaps and bounds.

"Not bad. Just broke through to the Demon General Realm."

Sensing the Mystic Wind Wolf's strength, Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction. This time, he used a total of 100 energy points to produce a demon general-level demon beast.

As this was the first time Chen Yang had increased the strength of the demon beasts, the Dao Integration Bead also had some feedback.

No matter how strong a demon beast was at the first level, the energy consumed to break through to the demon general level was 100 points.

Of course, this was on the premise that the demon beast indeed had the potential to break through to the Demon General Realm.

In other words, he had to at least have the bloodline of a demon general.

At the same time, because there was another beast at the Genesis Realm, the Chen family's luck increased by another 100 points, reaching a total of 300 points.

At this rate, he would soon be able to accumulate a little energy a day. According to Chen Yang's estimation, at that time, the Dao Integration Bead would probably undergo some changes.

Otherwise, it would be too little to accumulate that little bit of energy each day.

"Call the First Elder over," Chen Yang shouted at the servant outside the door.

The Mystic Wind Wolf had already been upgraded to the Demon General level by Chen Yang, but it could not be exposed immediately.

After all, if a demon beast suddenly became a demon general, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

After thinking about it, he could only discuss it with the First Elder first. The First Elder had already sworn that he would never reveal Chen Yang's secret.

About fifteen minutes later, Chen Xuan rushed to Chen Yang's courtyard. "Family Head, why are you looking for me?"

"Take a look first." Chen Yang pointed at the Mystic Wind Wolf lying on the side.

Because it had broken through to the Demon General Realm, the Mystic Wind Wolf had already entered the mature stage. Its 3.5-meter-long body was already giving off a lot of pressure just by lying on the ground.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he carefully sized up the Mystic Wind Wolf. Then, his expression changed drastically. "Family Head, your secret can actually increase the strength of demon beasts?"

Chen Yang did not speak, tacitly agreeing with Chen Xuan's words.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xuan said solemnly, "I, Chen Xuan, swear to the heavens and the earth that I will never leak the Family Head's secret to anyone. If I violate this oath, may heaven and earth destroy me!"

For a moment, Chen Yang and Chen Xuan sensed something. This was the response given by the rules of the world, recording the oath that Chen Xuan had made.

"First Elder has already sworn to be loyal to me forever. Why the need to make such an oath?" Chen Yang narrowed his eyes.

Sensing Chen Yang's gaze, Chen Xuan shivered. "I'm reminding myself that I have to place the Family Head's secret at the most important position."

"First Elder is thoughtful. I invited you here to discuss what to do with this Mystic Wind Wolf."

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Chen Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Hehe, from today onwards, I'm not only the Family Head's subordinate, but also his trusted aide.

Immediately, Chen Xuan hurriedly said, "Family Head, I think we can enter the Endless Mountains and tell everyone that this Mystic Wind Wolf was found in the Endless Mountains."

"When we discovered it, this Mystic Wind Wolf was already seriously injured, so Master, you didn't spend much effort to refine this demon beast into your natal beast."

"In any case, the Ten Thousand Beast Technique can be used to refine a natal beast one level higher. No one can say anything."

"Even if there are any suspicions, it wouldn't be associated with your true secret, Family Head."

Chen Yang nodded. The plan that Chen Xuan had proposed was already considered the best solution. After all, the Chen family still needed Chen Yang to use the Mystic Wind Wolf to intimidate the enemy.

Moreover, Chen Yang also had a plan in mind. The struggle with the Gongsun family had been going on for so long, it was time to end the feud between the two families.

"Then what about the family?" Chen Yang asked again.

Outsiders might not know, but many people in the Chen family knew that Chen Yang's natal beast was a mid-First Realm Mystic Wind Wolf.

If they did not give an explanation to them, it might be leaked.

Hearing Chen Yang's question, Chen Xuan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Aren't there ruins? When the time comes, we can blame it on the ruins."

"And there's another advantage to this. If this whole thing really comes to light, with the ruins to blame, outsiders won't suspect the Family Head."

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Chen Yang revealed a satisfied smile. "You old fox."

"Hehe, after being with the Family Head for a long time, my intelligence has increased." Chen Xuan said.

"Alright, there's no time to lose. First Elder, quickly get ready. We'll enter the ruins again tomorrow."

"Yes!" The First Elder cupped his hands at Chen Yang and left the courtyard to make arrangements for tomorrow.

The next day, under the arrangements of the First Elder, all the young direct descendants of the Chen family arrived.

Since he had already decided to let the ruins take the blame, he had to gradually inform his clansmen about the matters in the ruins.

Chapter 22

As for the elders, other than the Second Elder, Eighth Elder, and Ninth Elder, who had to deal with the family matters and could not come, the others were all present.

Immediately, Chen Yang rode the Gale Wolf and led the Chen family to the Endless Mountains.

As for the newly broken through Mystic Wind Wolf, because it was still in a confidential state, Chen Yang temporarily put it into his Beast Taming Bag.

The group first arrived at the Endless Mountains outside Maple City in a relatively normal manner. Then, they quickly rushed to the Endless Mountains outside Mo City along the border of the Endless Mountains.

Maple City was not far from Mo City. With the Gale Wolf's speed, Chen Yang and the others arrived at the Endless Mountains outside Mo City in less than half a day.

Initially, Chen Yang had planned to let everyone rest, but Chen Xuan said that long delays would cause trouble. Hence, everyone did not have time to rest and quickly headed towards the ruins.

It was not until the next morning that everyone arrived at the area where the Chen family had previously hunted. Chen Yang immediately took out a map and successfully found the entrance to the maze according to the map.

Outside the mountain, in the maze.

Before entering the ruins, Chen Yang still had some things to instruct these people. "Let me tell you, after entering, no matter what you see, don't tell anyone, understand?"

"We understand," they all said quickly.

Chen Yang nodded and immediately led the group into the tunnel.

As for why he didn't let these people take the oath? What a joke. He had already planned to let the ruins take the blame for him. If he really took the oath, how could he let the ruins take the blame for Chen Yang in the future?

In the dome, all the new members of the Chen family were dumbfounded.

Be it the giant moth hanging above the dome or the dense courtyard in front of them, they were beyond their understanding.

"These… These all represent a kind of inheritance?" Third Elder Chen Zhen swallowed his saliva and pulled Chen Xuan's sleeve.

"Of course. Let me tell you, even the most outlying inheritance, each one of which is enough to create a ninth-class family."

"Alright, wipe the drool from your mouths. Although this inheritance is good, whether you can obtain it depends on your own ability."

"Let's not talk about whether one has the qualifications to accept the inheritance first. Just look at the initial test. Those are all puppets at the peak of Qi Refinement. Defeat them first before you can come into contact with the inheritance."

Listening to Chen Xuan's explanation of the inheritance, Chen Zhen was instantly doused with cold water. Just checking if he was qualified to accept the inheritance required him to have the strength to defeat a puppet at the peak of the Qi Refinement realm?

Not only Chen Zhen, but the other clansmen also looked a little depressed.

When Chen Yang saw this, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Everyone, cheer up. It's not like you only have one chance. If you can't accept the inheritance this time, go back and increase your strength. Come again next time."

"In addition, this is your first time here. I have another mission for you. That is to investigate what the inheritance in this first circle of the courtyard is."

"After you enter the courtyard, a mechanical voice will inform you of the inheritance of the place. Only then will the puppets appear."

"When the puppets arrive, quickly admit defeat and continue to check the other courtyards. Do you understand?"

[fuzzy]"Understood."

After Chen Yang's persuasion, everyone regained their courage. They immediately followed Chen Yang's instructions and checked the inheritances in the courtyard one by one.

As for Chen Yang, he came to the courtyard he chose for the first time. This was because the inheritance in this courtyard happened to be left behind by a Beast Tamer.

"Welcome, successor. This place is left behind by the Yang Sect's Beast Tamer. As you have passed the initial test, we will continue the test."

A mechanical female voice sounded in Chen Yang's ear, accompanied by a humanoid puppet.

"This time, I can take revenge."

Chen Yang's eyes released endless battle intent. Immediately after, the Beast Taming Bag opened, and the Mystic Wind Wolf emitted the aura of a demon general as it stood in front of the puppet.

"Little Wolf, kill it."

Battle intent was battle intent, but at this moment, it was better to leave it to the Mystic Wind Wolf.

He knew his own situation. Even if Chen Yang had broken through to the peak of the Qi Refinement realm, he still did not have the support of powerful martial arts. He was hardly a match for this puppet.

Besides, Beast Tamers relied on their beasts to solve their problems. Yes, it was very reasonable.

Chen Yang thought to himself. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with joy.

Although this was the Mystic Wind Wolf's first battle, its instincts hidden in its bloodline allowed it to not be at a disadvantage when fighting the puppet.

This was not just a suppression of strength. Be it the control of the spiritual energy in its body or the attack of the enemy, the Mystic Wind Wolf had the upper hand.

BANG!

The moment the puppet attacked, the Mystic Wind Wolf seized the opportunity and jumped high into the air. The spiritual energy in its body quickly surged into its claws and slammed down on the puppet's head.

At this point, the puppet no longer had the strength to resist.

"Congratulations to the inheritor. You have passed the primary test and can enter the room to accept the inheritance."

The mechanical female voice sounded again, but this emotionless voice sounded like heavenly music to Chen Yang.

After calming down, Chen Yang pushed open the door.

The room was sparsely furnished, with a table and two doors leading into a side room. But it looked as if they would have to go through some kind of trial to get in.

Other than that, there was nothing.

Where was the inheritance? Chen Yang was confused. Wasn't it the Beast Tamer's inheritance? Where did it go?

Just as Chen Yang was wondering, the mechanical female voice sounded again. "Successor, as you have passed the primary test, you can receive a reward."

"At the same time, this reward is also your next assessment."

As the female voice fell, the wall against the table suddenly opened. Immediately after, three demon beast eggs rolled onto the table.

"These three eggs are all demon beasts with the bloodline of a Demon Venerable. They are the Blazing Eagle, the Sharp-clawed Wolf, and the Six-armed Ape."

"Please choose a demon beast and nurture it to the Demon General level within five years."

"Attention: If you fail the test, please send a demon beast egg containing the bloodline of a Demon Venerable within 50 years. Otherwise, the sect-protecting spirit beast has the right to kill you."

"In addition, due to the enhancement of the Life Law Array here, these demon beast eggs can be hatched within 100,000 years."

"But there are repercussions. You have to hatch within a month of taking it out. Otherwise, it will become a dead egg."

"Good luck, Inheritor."

Hearing the mechanical female voice, Chen Yang was stunned. It seemed that this Yangmen was far more powerful than he had thought.

Take this Life Law Array for example. Chen Yang could understand these words, but when they were combined, Chen Yang could not understand them no matter how hard he wrecked his brain.

'Should I ask the giant moth? It should know something.'

'Yes, let's do that.'

But before that, I still have to choose the demon beast egg. Chen Yang thought about it again and again, and finally felt that having a flying beast should be very cool.

"I choose the Blazing Eagle."

The assessment in the ruins was not as simple as it looked. For example, Chen Yang's first assessment would be to nurture a newborn demon beast into a demon general in five years.

Not only did this require a large amount of resources, but it also required the inheritor to be very familiar with demon beasts and know how to nurture them to increase the cultivation of the demon beasts to a large extent in a limited time.

However, this was nothing to Chen Yang. With the Dao Integration Bead, it was just a matter of adding points.

Holding the egg of the Blazing Eagle, Chen Yang pushed open the door of the courtyard.

"Family Head, you're out." Seeing Chen Yang holding a demon beast egg, Chen Xuan knew that Chen Yang had definitely passed the test and immediately went up to him.

"Yes, I was lucky to clear it."

"Then, Family Head, what benefits did you obtain?" According to the contents of their discussion, Chen Xuan hurriedly asked Chen Yang about the benefits this time.

When the others heard this, they also looked at Chen Yang.

A smile appeared on Chen Yang's face. "I've really gained a lot this time. Apart from obtaining a demon beast egg with the Demon Venerable bloodline, my Mystic Wind Wolf has also been upgraded to the Demon General level."

At this, most people froze in place.

After a while, cheers erupted. With a demon general-level beast, didn't that mean that the Chen family's strength had increased significantly?

After a while, cheers erupted. With a demon general-level beast, didn't that mean that the Chen family's strength had increased significantly?

Forget it. Forget it. Perhaps Old Li was hiding something from him too.

"Alright, alright, everyone, be quiet! After we return, we will say that we found a heavily injured Demon General Mystic Wind Wolf in the Endless Mountains."

"Don't tell anyone about this place," Chen Yang instructed.

"We understand." The Chen family naturally knew the importance of these ruins and immediately made a decision in their hearts.

No matter what, they could not leak the information here.

Chen Yang took in everyone's expressions. Very good. This way, the plan of the ruins taking the blame for the Dao Integration Bead would be completely completed.

"By the way, have you calculated what inheritances are in the first round?" Chen Yang asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan walked forward with a booklet in his hand. "Family Head, according to the statistics, there are a total of five types of inheritances in the first circle."

"They are Martial Arts Inheritance, Alchemist Inheritance, Beast Tamer Inheritance, Weapon Refinement Master Inheritance, and Array Master Inheritance."

"Among the five great inheritances, the martial arts inheritance is the most and the array master inheritance is the least."

Chen Yang took the booklet and scanned it. A plan formed in his mind. "First Elder, I have an idea."

"So many inheritances must require precise selection before they can be effectively used."

"Therefore, I've decided to set up a clan school in the clan. All clansmen above the age of eight need to go to school, regardless of whether they are from the direct line of descent."

"The family will search for the works of some famous people. While we teach them to read and write, we must also make them understand propriety."

Chen Xuan was stunned. Start studying at the age of eight? Family Head, are you a devil?

One had to know that when Chen Yang and the others were young, they could only really read and write after they were 14 years old.

Chen Xuan had thought that Chen Yang was already demonic enough, but who knew that Chen Yang was not done yet?

"This kind of learning will continue until one is 14 years old. After they turn 14, they can practice martial arts according to each of their personal aptitudes. They will be divided into five classes: Beast Taming Class, Alchemy Class, Array Class, and so on. This is so as to make the best use of their individual talents."

"Of course, if you have the aptitude, you can also cultivate both. The family will not force or stop you in this aspect."

"After they turn 18, they will be assigned to various positions in the family based on what they have learned."

Only then did Chen Xuan understand that the Family Head had great ambitions. If they were nurtured systematically like this, the future of the Chen family's descendants would be limitless.

Not to mention his personal aptitude, just his ways of handling matters and his morals alone could shake off the disciples of other families.

In the long run, how could the Chen family not prosper?

"I agree with the Family Head." After understanding, Chen Xuan was the first to express his support.

The other elders also knew that this was for the good of the family and did not object.

On the other hand, those young direct descendants were subconsciously worried about their descendants, even though they had no descendants yet.

"Good. Since no one has any objections, we'll operate that way when we get back. Those who are below 14 years old will be divided into groups according to age."

"Those above 14 years old will also be divided into groups and then classes according to age."

"Big Brother, as a direct descendant, Ming De must set an example for the collateral relatives. When you return, you must strictly discipline him." Chen Yang cast his gaze at Chen Xuan's son, Chen Dao.

"I understand, Master." Chen Dao smiled and nodded.

"Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, and Tenth Brother, the three of you are not yet 18 years old in the direct line of descent. After the school is established, you have to set an example for the direct line of descent."

After arranging for his nephew, Chen Yang reached out to his younger siblings.

When the three little ones heard this, their faces instantly turned pale. They wanted to say something, but because of the Family Head's authority, they said honestly, "We understand."

"As for the others, including the elders, all the direct descendants have to prepare one or two ancient books. Although we don't have to go to school, we still have to ensure our knowledge."

"Otherwise, when your sons and daughters ask you questions, you won't be able to answer a single question. You'll lose face for no reason."

Hearing this, the other elders smiled bitterly. They did not expect that they, who were secretly delighted just now, would be arranged by the Family Head at this moment.

"Family Head, isn't this step a little too big?" Chen Xuan was a little worried. According to Chen Yang's plan, the Chen family needed too many things.

"No, this first batch of disciples is to select an heir for the ruins. They just need to test if they have talent."

"It won't consume much resources to only select the most talented disciples."

"In the future, we can also use the inheritance in the ruins to teach. Similarly, we don't need to consume much of the family's resources."

"Moreover, when this group of people grows up, we don't know how many resources they can earn for the family. In terms of education, it will definitely be a profitable business."

Chen Xuan nodded. The Family Head was right. This was definitely a profitable business. However, there was a prerequisite. Among the first batch of disciples, there had to be disciples who could pass all the assessments.

Otherwise, the Chen family would definitely be dragged down.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan looked at the group of young direct descendants. "Family Head, I suggest that the direct descendants of your generation should also enter the family school to learn."

"The more people there are, the more confident they will be. Besides, when those children reach the peak of the Qi Refinement realm, the family will have to pay a lot of resources."

"As for the elders, because they need to deal with the family matters, they don't have to go to school, but they have to study seriously. Perhaps one of them can pass the assessment."

Chapter 24

"After all, these people are even stronger. If they can pass the assessment, it will save the family a lot of resources," said the First Elder.

The young direct descendants of the Chen family widened their eyes. How did their usually kind uncle become so devilish?

"That makes sense. Let's do as the First Elder says." Chen Yang nodded.

It seemed that he was still a little kind. Look at the First Elder, he directly arranged something for everyone.

After listening to Chen Yang and the others' conversation, the Giant Moth's thoughts became active.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it made sense.

Well, it decided that after it returned, it would also promote the family school among the clansmen. With its gifts to the Chen family, it would not be too much to ask Chen Yang to give it advice.

…

"First Elder, what is the inheritance in your courtyard?" Other than Chen Yang, only Chen Xuan could pass the initial test.

As expected, when he heard Chen Yang's question, Chen Xuan revealed a smug expression. "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you and obtained the inheritance in that courtyard."

"Family Head, let me tell you. That courtyard is a martial arts inheritance left behind by a Ningdan Venerable Master. Just the elementary reward is an eighth-grade martial arts."

The classification of martial arts was the same as the family classification. It was also the ninth rank as the lowest rank and the first rank as the highest rank.

"Not bad! I'll use this eighth-grade martial arts as the annual assessment of the martial arts class. Those who fail will have all their rest time canceled next year."

Hearing this, the young direct descendants all looked at Chen Xuan without hiding the resentment in their eyes.

Chen Xuan was also very puzzled. This decision was made by the Family Head. What did it have to do with me?

"Alright, let's go back first. The next time we come, we'll have to get serious." After investigating this first round, Chen Yang decided to return.

However, before leaving, Chen Yang still had some questions for the giant moth. "Senior, do you know what the Life Law Array is?"

From the beginning, Chen Yang had been curious about this Life Law Array. After all, to be able to ensure that the demon beast eggs could hatch within 100,000 years, it must not be a simple array.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, the giant moth opened its eyes in confusion. "Where did you hear about this Life Law Array?"

"A mechanical female voice in this inheritance told me that there's a Life Law Array here," Chen Yang said honestly.

When the giant moth heard this, it laughed loudly. "This Old Li really knows how to flatter himself. He actually dares to claim that a fake array built with the Life Law Jade is a Life Law Array!"

"Kid, this Life Law Array is the lifelong goal of countless array masters in the Brilliance Realm. How can it be set up so easily?"

"However, the array formation here does have some functions of the Life Law Array. For example, it can ensure that the demon beast egg can hatch every 100,000 years, but that's all."

"It's useless for me to tell you anything else. You should focus on cultivating and quickly accept the inheritance here. That's the right way."

Chen Yang nodded. That was true. Who cared what the Life Law Array was? At this stage, it was more important to increase his strength.

Immediately, under Chen Yang's lead, the group officially returned to Maple City.

In Maple City, looking at the Mystic Wind Wolf in the cage car, all the tourist merchants stopped.

"Am I seeing things? Is that a Demon General-level Mystic Wind Wolf?"

"Those with such an aura must be demon generals. The Chen family actually caught a demon general-level Mystic Wind Wolf?"

"I don't think so. Look at the wounds left by many demon beasts on that Mystic Wind Wolf. I reckon that the Chen family was lucky enough to pick it up."

"No matter how we obtained it, with the Mystic Wind Wolf, the Chen family's strength will definitely rise. Maple City will also be more stable and more suitable for us to survive."

After two days of traveling, Chen Yang and the others finally returned to Maple City.

The Chen family had deliberately placed the Mystic Wind Wolf in the cage to intimidate others.

As for the wounds on the Mystic Wind Wolf, Chen Yang had used dye to draw them on.

Although if one were to observe it carefully, he would definitely be able to discover that it was fake.

However, with the Chen family's status in Maple City, how many people would dare to take a closer look?

"Family Head, through these merchants, I reckon that the other families will soon know that our Chen family has captured the Mystic Wind Wolf," Chen Xuan said.

Looking at the various expressions on the merchants' faces, Chen Yang revealed a satisfied smile. Let the news spread, the further the better.

Only then could the Mystic Wind Wolf be used to intimidate the other families.

Although Chen Xuan had broken through to the Genesis Realm, his natal beast was still at level one.

In addition, a Beast Tamer's strength was all based on his beasts. To be honest, Chen Xuan was not enough to intimidate the other families.

With the Mystic Wind Wolf, the Chen family could be considered a qualified ninth-grade family.

Gongsun City, Gongsun family.

In less than a day, the news that the Chen family had captured a Demon General Mystic Wind Wolf was already on the Family Head's table.

"Patriarch, what do you think we should do next?" Gongsun Miao looked at his patriarch.

"This is bad." Gongsun Mang frowned, his expression ugly.

According to Gongsun Mang's plan, he planned to wait for a period of time. After the influence of the Chen family's offering of the Howling Moon Wolf passed, he would use thunderous methods to eliminate the Chen family.

But now, not only did the Chen family have Chen Xuan, who was at the Genesis Realm, but they also had another Demon General.

With such strength, even if the Gongsun family could win, it would probably be a tragic victory.

The remaining few ninth-grade aristocratic families were not benevolent families. Once the Gongsun family was harmed, these hungry wolves would probably attack them together.

At that time, even if they annexed the Chen family, it would only benefit the other families.

"Let the Chen family go first." Gongsun Mang had no choice but to make this decision.

"Let the Chen family off?" Gongsun Miao revealed a look of disbelief. "Patriarch, it's not like you don't know the aptitude of the Chen family's young master."

"If we let the Chen family off, when that little Family Head grows up, the Gongsun family will be the unlucky one."

Gongsun Mang glanced at Gongsun Miao. "How can I not know that that little Family Head is talented?"

"That's a devil that was chosen by the Ningdan elder of the Beastmaster Sect just after he started cultivating. If it weren't for the accident, that little Family Head would probably have already become a famous figure in the Beastmaster Sect."

"But what can we do? At this moment, the Chen family has already become powerful. If we still want to attack, not only will the Chen family disappear, but the Gongsun family will also disappear!"

"Alas!"

When Gongsun Miao heard this, he sighed heavily. "If the Chen family hadn't gotten lucky and obtained a Howling Moon Wolf from somewhere, Maple City would have been ours long ago."

"Alright, don't blame the heavens and the people. How can everything in the world be smooth sailing? Since the Chen family has already become powerful, we naturally have other ways to deal with it," Gongsun Mang said.

Chapter 25

"May I ask what method?" Gongsun Miao asked.

"The Gongsun family is not the only family that doesn't want the Chen family to rise up."

Gongsun Mang revealed a meaningful smile. "The rise of the Chen family will definitely invade the interests of the surrounding families."

"Now that the Chen family has obtained another demon general, their combat strength has increased significantly. I'm afraid the other families can't sit still either."

"How about this? Go to the Feng and Liu families and discuss the marriage alliance. I don't think the Feng and Liu families will miss the opportunity to join forces to deal with the Chen family."

"At that time, the alliance of the three families will only need to wait for the effects of the offering to dissipate before they can destroy the Chen family."

At this point, a ferocious glint flashed across Gongsun Mang's eyes.

Destroying the Chen family was something that the two brothers had been thinking about day and night.

"Wonderful. Patriarch, I'll take action immediately." Gongsun Miao smiled and left in a hurry.

A few days later, the news of the marriage alliance between the Gongsun, Feng, and Liu families completely blew up Nanyang County.

All the forces, big and small, gathered their gazes here and kept thinking about what the three families wanted to do.

"What else can we do? Isn't it just targeting our Chen family? Hmph! Family Head, I suggest that we take the initiative to attack. We'll defeat one family first, and the other two families will naturally be obedient."

Chen Xuan smashed the mahogany chair and sat down. Then, he stood up and angrily asked Chen Yang for permission to fight.

"First Elder, calm down. Our Chen family needs time right now to digest the inheritance, how will we be able to figure out how to start a war with the other families."

Chen Yang waved his hand and gestured for a servant to bring another chair over. Then, he comforted Chen Xuan to sit down.

"Then tell us what to do, Family Head. We'll do as you say."

After calming down, Chen Xuan also understood that now was not the time to fight. He immediately looked at Chen Yang.

"The Gongsun, Feng, and Liu families have surrounded our Chen family, and the Endless Mountains are to the south."

"The Gongsun family's Horizontal Alliance is done very exquisitely."

Chen Yang recalled the Chen family's geographical location and could not help but admire this plan.

"Still, the plan isn't unbreakable."

A glint flashed across Chen Yang's eyes. Then, he stood up and pointed at the map hanging on the wall behind him.

"Look, our Chen family is to the south of the Feng family, and the Li family is to the north."

"If we form an alliance with the Li family and the north and south pressure the Feng family together, the Feng family will definitely not be able to take it."

"Moreover, the Liu family and the Feng family also have some competition for resources. I believe the Liu family is also very willing to see the Feng family suffer. At that time, this alliance will definitely collapse."

"Perhaps the Feng family will even turn towards our Chen family. Hmph! If the Gongsun family wants to use Horizontal Alliance to target us, then we'll use Vertical Alliance to crack it!"

The more Chen Yang explained his plan, the more confident he became.

Playing Vertical and Horizontal Alliance, he could not ask for more.

"In that case, First Elder… Sigh, what kind of expression is that?" Just as Chen Yang was about to arrange the alliance, he realized that the elders were looking at him strangely.

Suddenly, Chen Yang had a bad feeling. "The Li family has no conflict with our Chen family, right?"

"It's not a conflict. There are just some small gaps," Chen Xuan said.

Hearing this, Chen Yang heaved a sigh of relief. As long as there was no grudge.

It didn't matter if there were gaps. As long as there were enough benefits, any gaps could be smoothed.

Immediately, Chen Yang picked up his tea and took a sip. "What kind of gap?"

"It's nothing. Their Ancestor Xue has a conflict with our Patriarch," Chen Xuan said indifferently.

"Pfttt!"

Chen Yang spat out the tea in his mouth and looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief. "This is called a small gap?"

Chen Yang was floored. A conflict between the two Ancestors was no different from forming a death feud.

At the same time, Chen Yang was also a little puzzled. What was his Patriarch's zodiac? Why did he have a conflict with that Ancestor?

"It's not what you think. It's really a small conflict." Seeing that Chen Yang had misunderstood, Chen Xuan quickly explained.

"What exactly is the conflict?"

"Listen to me." Chen Xuan sorted out his thoughts and said, "When Ancestor Xue was young, she once had a crush on our Patriarch."

"The Patriarch also made a promise to Ancestor Xue at that time, but our Chen family was working hard to become a ninth-grade family at that time, and the Patriarch had no choice but to come back to oversee it, so they lost contact."

Chen Yang understood. So that was the case. The conflict was indeed not big. The two Ancestors had probably gotten over it.

However, seeing that Chen Xuan was still not finished, Chen Yang couldn't help but shiver. "Could there be more?"

"Naturally there will be a follow-up."

Oh no!

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat. Whatever he was afraid of came true.

"Ancestor Xue is also a person who values relationships. After breaking through to the Genesis Realm, she quickly left the Beastmaster Sect and found our Patriarch to continue their relationship."

"But Family Head, you also know that in the entire Nanyang County, I've never heard of any Ancestor marrying into another family."

"Because of this, the ancestor rejected Ancestor Xue. As a result, there was some conflict between the two of you. Ancestor Xue swore to never see our ancestor again."

After hearing the story of the two ancestors, Chen Yang only had one thought in his mind. The ancestors were really sentimental people.

If it were anyone else, not only could they marry a beauty, but they could also accumulate strength for their family. They would have agreed happily long ago.

However, for the sake of Ancestor Xue's family, and at the same time, our Patriarch did not want Ancestor Xue to bear the reputation of being ungrateful and betraying the family. He reluctantly rejected Ancestor Xue.

Perhaps it was because of this that Ancestor Xue would fall in love with our Patriarch.

"I heard that the person guarding the Li family is this Ancestor Xue. This may be a little difficult." Chen Yang sighed.

"We have to give it a try even if it's difficult. After all, the Gongsun family has already taken action. If we don't retaliate, we'll be annexed by the Gongsun family sooner or later," Chen Xuan said.

"Sigh! In the end, it's because our Chen family isn't strong enough. If we had another Genesis Patriarch, this wouldn't be the outcome."

"Among the ten ninth-grade families in Nanyang County, only the Chen family has just one Genesis Patriarch. The other families have at least two Genesis Ancestors," Chen Yang said with a bitter smile.

As if seeing that Chen Yang was blaming himself, Chen Xuan comforted him. "Family Head, you've already done enough."

"In the end, it's because our family doesn't have enough resources."

"You have to know that in the Great Qian Dynasty, if you want to establish a ninth-grade family, you have to have two Genesis Ancestors."

"And because our Chen family's Patriarch's strength far exceeds others, an exception was made and we became a ninth-grade aristocratic family. However, in terms of family accumulation, we were far inferior to other aristocratic families."

Chen Xuan's words were true. The reason why the Chen family could become a ninth-grade family back then was because of the Chen family's Patriarch's punches.

On the day the Chen family was established, the Chen family's Patriarch fought four Genesis Ancestors alone. He was still not at a disadvantage and even had a slight advantage.

The Patriarch was so powerful that the Chen family won the honor of a ninth-grade aristocratic family, but they just did not have the corresponding foundation.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 26

Take martial arts for example. The other ninth-grade families had many martial arts collections.

Even the Beast Taming Aristocratic Families were no exception, but the Chen family did not have any martial arts that could be shown.

As for the martial arts that the Chen family's Patriarch was using, although they were powerful, they were learned from the Beastmaster Sect after all and could not be passed down at all.

Back to business.

After Chen Xuan's consolation, Chen Yang's fighting spirit reignited. "No matter what, we have to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, we'll marry into the Li family."

"Marriage? Family Head, it's fine if it's something else, but I'm afraid marriage won't work. After what happened to Ancestor Xue, she is not going to allow her family to marry us."

"Ancestor Xue said that the Chen family is heartless. Why should we marry them?" Chen Xuan smiled bitterly.

Hearing the First Elder's words, Chen Yang revealed a playful smile. "Who said that the marriage alliance is for the younger generation?"

Chen Xuan retracted the smile on his face and said in disbelief, "Family Head, you can't be thinking of…"

"That's right. I plan to sell off our Patriarch and let our Patriarch and Ancestor Xue marry. I heard that the two ancestors are less than a hundred years old. It's not too late to continue the previous relationship."

Chen Xuan was stunned. He really did not expect Chen Yang to really plan to marry off the Patriarch.

"Family Head, isn't this a little too much? If the Patriarch comes back, how are we going to explain?"

Chen Xuan was really a little afraid now. He was afraid that the Patriarch would tear his favorite descendant apart when he returned.

"What's there to be afraid of? In any case, the Patriarch has never married in his life. If we give him a chance, he might even be grateful to us."

"If the Patriarch really blames us, then drag my grandfather, your father, to my great-grandfather's grave and cry together."

"Didn't the Patriarch often say that he had let Big Brother and Fourth Brother down? When the time comes, he might forgive us."

"Then, we take the opportunity to say that the Chen family relied on the Patriarch in the past, causing his marriage matters to be delayed."

"Now that the Chen family has become powerful, it's time for the Patriarch to pursue his own happiness. Don't wait until the person is gone. It would be too late to regret it."

"With this combination of punches, I don't believe the Patriarch won't forgive us."

Chen Xuan could not help but sigh. The head of the family really had a good brain.

This was obviously a trap for the Patriarch, but after hearing what the Family Head said, it seemed like it was for the sake of the Patriarch.

"There's no problem with the plan, but I have some other thoughts. My father is already in his eighties, so let's not torture him," Chen Xuan said weakly.

"There's no hurry. The Patriarch won't be back so soon. Perhaps my grandfather will have broken through to the Genesis Realm by then."

"If there is no break through, then no torture. If there is a break through…"

"Family Head, don't worry. If my father breaks through to the Genesis Realm, even if I have to kneel, I will kneel before my grandfather's grave." Chen Xuan patted his chest.

In Chen Xuan's opinion, Chen Yang meant that he had not given up on his father.

It had to be known that in other ninth-grade and even eighth-grade families, those who had yet to break through to the Genesis Realm in their eighties had long given up.

According to Chen Yang, if there were resources, he would probably push Chen Xuan's father to the Genesis Realm.

At the thought of this, Chen Xuan felt a lump in his throat. If possible, who wouldn't want their father to live a little longer?

"In that case, First Elder and Second Elder, prepare some things. We'll send the betrothal gifts on behalf of the Patriarch."

"Alright!" Chen Xuan and Chen Meng agreed together. Then, they looked at each other and saw a trace of excitement in each other's eyes.

Hehe, it was exciting to be the matchmaker for the patriarch.

While Chen Xuan and Chen Meng were preparing the betrothal gifts, Chen Yang did not stay idle. Instead, he went straight to the Chen family's incubation room.

Counting the days, it was time for the Blazing Eagle to hatch.

This was a demon beast with the bloodline of a Demon Venerable, let alone a flying demon beast. It was only right that Chen Yang valued it.

Moreover, unlike the Mystic Wind Wolf, Chen Yang did not intend to expose this Blazing Eagle. Instead, he will secretly nurture it and would use it as a trump card when the Chen family officially took action.

"Family Head!"

Outside the Chen family's incubation room, the guards hurriedly bowed when they saw Chen Yang coming over.

"There's no need to be so polite. How's the demon beast egg?" Through the window, Chen Yang glanced inside.

"Just hatched, Family Head."

"Really? Then I want to go in and take a look." When Chen Yang heard that it had hatched, he hurriedly pushed open the door of the incubation room.

In the entire incubation chamber, there was only one Blazing Eagle cub looking around.

The reason was that the demon beasts in the Chen family were all born in the womb, and there were almost no eggs. According to Chen Xuan, the reason why this incubation room was built was that it didn't matter if he used it or not, but he had to have it.

Walking up to the Blazing Eagle, Chen Yang reached out and stroked its feathers.

As expected of a demon beast that could grow to the level of a Demon Venerable. As soon as it was born, it already displayed a considerable aura.

She had golden wings, a pale blue eagle body, and colorful feathers on her head. It had to be said that the Blazing Eagle was quite beautiful.

Faced with Chen Yang's touch, the Blazing Eagle cub also echoed intimately.

Beasts would treat the first creature they saw as their mother, and demon beasts were no exception.

This was also the reason why the guards did not come in to check after the Blazing Eagle hatched.

Then, Chen Yang took a plate of demon beast meat and fed it to the Blazing Eagle bit by bit. He then contracted the Blazing Eagle.

As for his natal beast, he could only upgrade it after Chen Yang has broken through to the Genesis Realm.

In the following days, the Chen family had been preparing the betrothal gifts. After the preparations were complete, Chen Yang brought a few people and secretly headed to Li City.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, there was not just one city next to another.

Between each city were villages, towns, and even cities. These places all belonged to the eighth-grade aristocratic families of the county.

Take Nanyang County for example. In the entire Nanyang County, half of the territory belonged to the Song family, and the other half was divided by the various ninth-grade families.

The reason for this situation was that the royal family of Great Qian was at the peak of their strength. The various large families would pay taxes on time.

If the royal family could not make it, then the cities in Nanyang County would be next to each other and pay taxes to the Song family at the same time.

'State and state alike.'

After passing through the towns and villages controlled by the Song family, Chen Yang and the others finally arrived at Li City within three days.

After entering Li City, Chen Yang and the others did not waste any time and headed straight for the Li family.

The Li residence.

"What did you say? Chen Yang brought Chen Xuan and Chen Meng to see me?" The current head of the Li family, Li Ke, looked at the general in front of him in confusion.

Why did the Chen family visit him for no reason?

Was it because of the marriage between the three families?

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Li Ke's mind, but no matter why the Chen family came here, he still had to invite them in first.

"Please."

After giving the order, Li Ke straightened his clothes and led the elders to the reception hall.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 27

Under the lead of the family guards, Chen Yang and the others arrived at the Li family's reception hall.

Seeing Li Ke sitting at the head of the table, Chen Yang cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Chen Yang greets Uncle Li."

Hearing Chen Yang address him so intimately, Li Ke frowned. "Family Head Chen is also the head of the family. There's no need to call me that. Just call me Family Head Li."

"That kid dares to address Family Head Li like that." Chen Yang did not care about Li Ke's attitude at all and continued with a smile, "Family Head Li, do you know why we're here?"

For what? Naturally, it was to find external help for the Chen family.

Although that was what Li Ke thought, it couldn't possibly show on his face. "Please sit down."

After Chen Yang and the others sat down, Li Ke pretended to be puzzled. "I really don't know why Family Head Chen came to my Li family."

After taking a sip of the tea served by the Li family's servant, Chen Yang continued to smile at Li Ke. "Family Head Li, do you know that your Li family is in trouble?"

"The Li family is in trouble?"

Li Ke was stunned by Chen Yang's words. He smiled in disbelief and said, "I want to know why my Li family is in trouble."

"Family Head Li, you must know about the marriage alliance between the three great clans, right? The purpose of these three great clans is to deal with the Li family," Chen Yang said.

When Li Ke heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He really thought that the Li family was in danger. In the end, it was just the Chen family wanting to form an alliance.

"Family Head Chen, you must be joking. Our Li family has no grudges with the three great families. What does their alliance have to do with our Li family?"

"And if I'm not wrong, these three families are probably dealing with your Chen family. Family Head Chen, to form an alliance, one has to show sincerity. Don't deceive others with words."

Li Ke picked up his tea and took a leisurely sip. Then, he smiled at Chen Yang. "Family Head Chen, do you think I'm right?"

"Hahaha, Family Head Li is really wise. You saw through my intentions at a glance. However, Family Head Li, the alliance is real, but for the sake of the Li family, it's not fake." Chen Yang smiled.

"Oh?" Li Ke put down the teacup in his hand. "Then I would like to ask Family Head Chen for his opinion."

"Again, the purpose of the Horizontal Alliance of the three aristocratic families is to deal with the families on the north and south."

"Among them, my Chen family and your Li family have the most contact with the three great families."

"Of course, they will definitely deal with my Chen family first. But if my Chen family is destroyed, then the next one to suffer will be your Li family."

Li Ke frowned and pondered Chen Yang's words. Although he suspected that these words were just trying to implicate the Li family, it was not unreasonable.

If the Chen family could not hold on, the Li family, which had the most contact with the three major forces, would definitely be targeted.

Immediately, Li Ke became interested in Chen Yang's words. "Family Head Chen, continue."

When Chen Yang saw this, he knew that Li Ke was about to fall into the trap. He quickly struck while the iron was hot. "Now that our families are like lips and teeth, if the lips are lost, who will help the teeth to resist the cold wind?"

"With the lips gone, there is no one to help the teeth against the cold wind…"

The more Li Ke thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Yang's words were especially interesting. Simple words, and yet they contained great principles.

Li Ke couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect Family Head Chen to understand the principles of the world so well."

"Family Head Li, you flatter me. This is just an open matter. I only used simple words to explain it." Chen Yang smiled.

"Then, Family Head Chen, what should we do next?" Li Ke asked.

Chen Yang understood that Li Ke had completely fallen into it.

Chen Yang immediately picked up his teacup again and sipped his tea like Li Ke. "Family Head Li, if they can do a Horizontal Alliance, we can naturally do a Vertical Alliance."

"Vertical Alliance? What does that mean?" Li Ke was confused. Where did Chen Yang get these words from? He was confused.

"To put it bluntly, this so-called alliance is an alliance between the aristocratic families of the north and south to resist the three great aristocratic families of east and west."

"Of course, there can be many changes. For example, the Mo family and the Li family are adjacent to each other. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be in the same range."

"But the Mo family is in the north of the Gongsun family, and this situation meets the requirements of the alliance. To put it bluntly, as long as we can pressure the three great families from the north and south, they can be roped in."

After saying that, Chen Yang picked up his teacup again and glanced at Li Ke silently.

'You're confused, aren't you? That's right. How can you understand thousands of years of wisdom in a short time?'

For a moment, Li Ke shook his head. "Although I'm not sure about the nature of your Vertical Alliance."

"But after thinking about it carefully, the method of exerting pressure on an aristocratic family from the north and south is indeed a better way."

"Then, Family Head Chen, how exactly does the operation go?"

"How?" Chen Yang's eyes revealed a look of disdain. "Let's pressure the weakest Feng family first and make use of the conflict between the Feng and Liu families. That will definitely cause a gap in the alliance."

"Then, we'll deal with the strongest Gongsun family and disintegrate the alliance."

"As for the Liu family, when they see that the situation is bad, they will naturally side with us."

After hearing Chen Yang's plan, Li Ke felt a chill run down his spine and cold sweat broke out.

This was too terrifying. This child was so young, but he could make such a plan.

And according to the facts, the direction of the situation was very likely to be as Chen Yang had said.

For a moment, Li Ke was enlightened. Chen Yang, who was in front of him, was like a wise man who had planned everything.

With a word, thousands of forces collapsed.

He didn't dare to imagine how far the Chen family would go under Chen Yang's leadership. No, he had to form an alliance with the Chen family no matter what.

"Phew!" Li Ke suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked with a smile, "Then how does Family Head Chen plan to form an alliance?"

"Marriage."

"Marriage?" Li Ke looked troubled. "Family Head Chen, you know about Ancestor Xue's situation as well. I'm afraid marriage…"

Li Ke did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious. With Ancestor Xue around, a marriage alliance was basically impossible.

When Chen Yang saw this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Ke. "Family Head Li, don't worry. As long as you invite Ancestor Xue out, I will persuade her."

Seeing the confidence on Chen Yang's face, Li Ke felt more confident.

That's right. If this kid was so eloquent, he might be able to convince Ancestor Xue to allow the marriage alliance.

Immediately, Li Ke sent someone to invite Ancestor Xue.

After everyone waited, a beautiful woman in a blue shirt and a phoenix crown walked over.

She exuded a noble aura with every single movement.

"Family Head Chen, I heard that you want to have a marriage alliance with the Li Family? Let me tell you, an alliance is fine, but a marriage alliance is definitely impossible!" A silver bell-like voice came out of Ancestor Xue's mouth.

Chapter 28

Li Ke looked at Chen Yang awkwardly. 'That is what I'm saying. Ancestor Xue won't agree.'

Chen Yang gave Li Ke a look in return. 'Don't worry, leave it to me.'

"Ancestor Xue, do you know who we're here for?"

"No matter who it is, my Li family will never agree!" Ancestor Xue frowned and did not back down.

When Chen Yang heard this, a playful smile appeared on his face. "Oh? Even my Patriarch can't do it?"

"What did you say?" Ancestor Xue suddenly stood up, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped Chen Yang.

Ancestor Xue's sudden outburst frightened Chen Xuan so much that he could not care less. He also used his Genesis Aura to help Chen Yang withstand the pressure.

Ancestor Xue glanced at Chen Xuan and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to break through to the Genesis Realm one day. It seems that your Patriarch likes you."

"Chen Xuan is being disrespectful, please punish me, Ancestor Xue." Chen Xuan braced himself.

"It's fine." Ancestor Xue retracted her aura and said agitatedly, "Chen boy, what did you just say?"

"I said, I'm here to propose marriage to Ancestor Xue on behalf of my Patriarch," Chen Yang said word by word.

"No, Family Head Chen, what do you mean?" Li Ke was stunned. He had thought that the Chen family had taken a fancy to one of their genius disciples.

Who would have thought that he would directly take drastic measures and covet their Ancestor?

"It has nothing to do with you!" Elder Xue scolded Li Ke before looking at Chen Yang with a smile. "Chen Yang, are you serious? Will your Patriarch agree?"

From his tone, Chen Yang could tell that Ancestor Xue was still thinking about his Patriarch.

Then, Chen Yang clapped his hands.

The clansmen on guard outside the reception hall heard this and wheeled a truck into the hall.

The truck was filled with all kinds of treasures. Clearly, Chen Xuan and Chen Meng had put in a lot of effort.

"These are the betrothal gifts from my Chen family. There's also an eighth-grade martial technique. As long as Ancestor Xue agrees to the marriage, these things will belong to the Li family."

Chen Yang took out a martial arts manual and placed it on the table. Then, he looked at Ancestor Xue.

In order to show the Chen family's sincerity, Chen Yang even copied a copy of the eighth-grade martial arts that Chen Xuan had obtained and brought it here.

"The betrothal gift is not bad, but it's still the same question. Did your Patriarch really agree?" What Ancestor Xue wanted to know the most now was what the Chen family's Patriarch wanted.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he said with a serious expression, "Our Patriarch often talks about how the person he owes the most in his life is you, Ancestor Xue."

"Furthermore, he told us more than once that if the Chen family did not rely on him one day,

He will definitely bring Ancestor Xue to find a small hut in the forest. He will accompany her every day and enjoy the carefree days of the world."

"He really said that?" Ancestor Xue trembled with excitement.

However, noticing the looks of the others, she coughed and returned to her former state.

"Sigh, if I were still young, I would have promised you no matter what. But now, I'm also the Ancestor of the family and have experienced Brother Tao's hardships."

"If I abandon my family to follow Brother Tao, not only will Brother Tao be unwilling, but I will also feel ashamed to face my family," Ancestor Xue said sadly.

"Ancestor, there's also a solution to this matter."

"There's a solution?" Ancestor Xue looked at Chen Yang in shock. What else can you not do?

"To tell Ancestor Xue the truth. Our alliance with the Li family is to fight the Gongsun family to the death."

"If we win this battle, the meat cut from the three families will be enough for the Li family to produce two Genesis Ancestors."

"Then, when Ancestor Xue marries my Chen family, outsiders and the Li family won't say anything."

"If we lose, there will be no Chen family in the world. When our Patriarch returns, he can naturally marry into the Li family and resist the alliance of the three great families with the Li family," Chen Yang said.

Ancestor Xue's dim eyes lit up again. According to Chen Yang, regardless of whether the matter succeeded or not, she could marry Brother Tao.

It was done. The Li family had earned a lot. Even if she left again, she would not let the Li family down.

If they lost, the Li family would hide in Li City. When Brother Tao returned, they could only join forces with the Li family to take revenge.

"Okay, I agree." Ancestor Xue's face bloomed with a smile that made the flowers pale.

It turned out that there were two complete laws in this world.

Li Ke was stunned. His ancestor had sold herself out just like that?

However, on careful thought, it didn't seem to be a loss. If he won, Li Ke would become a Genesis Patriarch himself.

When the time came, he would marry Ancestor Xue to the Chen family. Not only would he earn a good reputation, but he would also be tied to the Chen family.

If they lost, the Li family would also obtain the Chen family's ancestor. It would not be a loss no matter what.

Li Ke could not help but look at Chen Yang. This young head of the Chen family was a good person.

Outside Li City.

After leaving the Li family, the three of them went straight to Mo City. Although Chen Yang had thought of the marriage alliance with Mo City by chance, it was indeed a good plan, so they naturally had to implement it.

On the way, Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Master, what is the Li family thinking? They even married their Ancestor to us. That Li Ke even thanked us."

"Hehe, he might have treated the family head as a good person." Chen Meng took over and smiled.

Chen Yang glanced at Chen Meng. "I've always been a good person. It's just that they might make a profit, but I'll never lose out."

As Li City was adjacent to Mo City, Chen Yang and the others arrived at Mo City within two days.

In the Mo Family in Mo City.

When he heard that Chen Yang was visiting him, Family Head Mo hurriedly led a group of elders out to welcome him.

In Nanyang County, only the Mo family and the Chen family had the best relationship.

It was said that when the Mo family's ancestor was young, he had received the favor of the Chen family's ancestor. It was precisely because of the special relationship between the two families that Chen Xuan wanted to have the marriage alliance with the Mo family.

"I didn't know that you were here, Family Head Chen. Please forgive me." Seeing Chen Yang and the others arrive at the entrance of the Mo Family residence, Family Head Mo hurriedly went forward to welcome them.

We don't dare to deserve this. We'll have to disturb Family Head Mo for a while this time. Family Head Mo, please don't find us annoying."

"You flatter me."

Accompanied by the head of the Mo family, the group entered the reception hall.

After everyone was seated, Family Head Mo asked, "May I ask why you're here?"

The two families had a good relationship, so Family Head Mo did not stand on ceremony and directly asked Chen Yang the reason for his trip.

"Family Head Mo, we're here to form an alliance with the Mo family to resist the alliance of the Gongsun family and the other two aristocratic families." Chen Yang went straight to the point.

"Oh? Does Family Head Chen have any plans?"

Immediately, Chen Yang informed Family Head Mo of the plans with Family Head Li word for word.

After hearing this, Family Head Mo lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, Family Head Chen is right. Our Mo family agrees to this alliance."

Seeing that the Mo Family Head had agreed so readily, Chen Yang was still a little stunned. In fact, Chen Yang was already prepared to marry himself to the Mo Family.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 29

This marriage alliance was different from the last time. The last time, the Chen family did not have any Genesis experts. The marriage alliance with the Mo family was mostly to seek connection with the Mo family, which was why Chen Yang rejected the First Elder.

For the marriage alliance this time, the Chen family was the dominant one, so Chen Yang naturally did not have any objections.

In any case, the Chen family had dominance and could get a wife for nothing, so why not?

However, to Chen Yang's surprise, the Mo family did not mention the marriage at all and directly agreed to the alliance with the Chen family.

However, since the Mo family did not say anything, Chen Yang would not take the initiative to mention it. He immediately cupped his hands and smiled. "Thank you, Family Head Mo."

"Alright, I still have some matters to attend to at home, so I won't disturb you anymore."

"Take care, Family Head Chen."

After watching Chen Yang and the others leave the Mo family, the Mo family's First Elder could not help but ask, "Family Head, why don't we have a marriage alliance with the Chen family?"

"I see that this little family head of the Chen family has such courage at such a young age. Coupled with his outstanding martial arts talent, he can definitely be called a good son-in-law."

"You've already explained the reason,"Family Head Mo said as he looked at Chen Yang's back.

"What?"

Seeing that the First Elder ignored him, Family Head Mo continued, "If my senses are correct, Chen Yang has already reached the peak of the Qi Refinement realm."

"It won't be long before he breaks through to the Genesis Realm."

"In that case, all the more we should marry him and tie Chen Yang to our Mo family's carriage." The First Elder did not understand what the Family Head meant.

Since Chen Yang was so outstanding, why didn't he take the opportunity to tie him to the Mo family through the marriage alliance?

"Let's go back to the family."

The Mo Family Head was not in a hurry to answer the First Elder. Instead, they led everyone back to the Mo Family.

After entering the Mo family home, the head of the Mo family continued, "Chen Yang's future is definitely not simple. If we take advantage of the Chen family's crisis now and force the Chen family into a marriage alliance, when Chen Yang's cultivation indeed reaches a certain level, I'm afraid our Mo family will be the unlucky one. In this world, there are many examples of people attacking in-laws."

"It's better not to say anything. At the very least, when the Chen family rises in the future, our Mo family can still benefit."

Only then did the First Elder understand that Family Head Mo was actually looking so far ahead. However, he was still a little indignant. "But Family Head, are you going to give up on such a good son-in-law just like that?"

When Family Head Mo heard this, his eyes flashed. "It's one thing for us to force a marriage alliance, but it's another thing for the Chen family to take the initiative."

"How about this? Tell the Chen family that in order to ensure smooth communication in the alliance, our Mo family has decided to send the first daughter of the head of the family, Mo Xingling, as the liaison."

"Letting Eldest Miss be the liaison is a little overkill…" The First Elder was about to offer an opinion when he suddenly thought of something and nodded.

"I understand. Family Head means to send Eldest Miss out to spend time with Chen Yang. If this drags on, Chen Yang will definitely be tempted by Eldest Miss."

"Of course. My daughter is beautiful, talented, and understanding. I don't believe that this hot-blooded Chen Yang won't be tempted by my daughter." Family Head Mo smiled.

"Family Head, how wonderful!"

…

Maple City, the Chen family.

After nearly half a month, the matter of the three aristocratic families' alliance had been confirmed. Chen Yang also had time to pay attention to the development of the family.

The first step was the Chen Family Academy.

As the family school had just been implemented and had yet to establish a complete academy, they could only make do with the previous school.

However, this was not bad. At the very least, Chen Yang could go to the clan school anytime and anywhere.

In his free time, Chen Yang came to the school alone, preparing to check out the general situation.

"Family Head, you're here." When they arrived outside the school, Fifth Elder Chen Ke, who was in charge of the school, greeted them.

Glancing at the students in the hall, Chen Yang asked casually, "How is it? Is there anything wrong with the school?"

"Family Head, there are no problems. It's just that this is the first time the children have come into contact with this, so they are more or less conflicted, causing the teaching process to be a little slow," Chen Ke replied.

"Normal. There's bound to be resistance."

"I'll tell you what. I'll tell you one way. People before the age of fourteen, play more games with them."

"At this stage, literacy is secondary. The main thing is to nurture their personal character and character. Through some small stories and games, cultivate their loyalty to the family."

"As for those over the age of fourteen, collect some manuscripts, especially stories about the kind that rise from the bottom and eventually become the strongest people in the world."

"This type of stories will definitely arouse the fighting spirit of this group."

Chen Yang's idea was very simple. He would start with interest and make them willing to learn and cultivate.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Chen Ke's eyes lit up. "Wonderful, Family Head, I'll arrange it immediately."

After bidding farewell to the academy, Chen Yang came to the Chen family's farm.

Due to the extensive use of fertilizer, the yield of spiritual rice in the farm reached a new high. As a result, the other types of rice also carried traces of spiritual energy.

However, that was all. If rice wanted to mutate into spirit rice, this bit of spiritual energy was not enough.

In fact, apart from the cleansing of spiritual energy, the spiritual rice born in the wilderness was more due to luck.

However, even so, if one ate this rice that carried spiritual energy all year round, it could bring faint help to one's cultivation.

Chen Yang, who was very satisfied with the farm, turned around and went to Little Green Mountain.

Looking at the young Gale Wolves and Green-horned Bulls, Chen Yang couldn't help but smile. These were all spirit stones.

Just as Chen Yang was admiring the spirit stones… no, the two demon beast cubs, the Eighth Elder suddenly stepped forward.

"Family Head, the First Elder invites you back. He says that there's something important."

"Something big?" Chen Yang nodded. "I understand. I'll go back immediately."

"I've stolen half a day of leisure."

After sighing slightly, Chen Yang turned around and left.

After returning to the Chen family home, Chen Yang went straight to the meeting hall.

As soon as he entered, Chen Yang realized that there was another woman in the meeting hall that he had never seen before.

This woman was dressed in black and had a face like an angel. Her figure leaned towards the devil. This contradictory combination added a lot of charm.

"This is…" Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan. Could it be that she was the one he was talking about?

"Family Head, let me introduce you. Her name is Mo Xingling, the eldest daughter of the Mo family. She's here to act as the liaison for the alliance," Chen Xuan explained.

Only then did Chen Yang know who this woman was. He immediately smiled and said, "Welcome, Miss Mo. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Family Head Chen." A silver bell-like voice came out of Mo Xingling's mouth. Then, she sat down leisurely. Her every move displayed the demeanor of an aristocratic young mistress.

After settling Miss Mo, Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan. "I wonder what happened for the First Elder to call me here?"

"Family Head, have you heard of Pill King Mo Xiao?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Of course I've heard of him. Pill King Mo Xiao is the leader of our Great Qian Dynasty's Alchemy Dao, and his alchemy skills are at the Perfected Realm. Could it be that this matter is related to Mo Xiao?"

Chapter 30

"That's right." Chen Xuan nodded. "Mo Xiao's third disciple, Pei Hao, is coming to our Nanyang County to sell pills. This matter has already caused a huge commotion in Jiangzhou."

"So Pei Hao is here to sell pills." Chen Yang understood.

Speaking of Pei Hao, Chen Yang had heard of him before. Pei Hao was an alchemy genius who had appeared more than a hundred years ago. He was taken in as a disciple by Mo Xiao.

As for why Pei Hao came to Nanyang County to sell pills, there was also some back story.

Pei Hao was born in a small town called Donglin Town in Nanyang County. His parents died when he was young, and he relied on the food of the villagers to survive.

After Pei Hao became rich, he would come here to hold an auction every twenty years on account of his gratitude towards Donglin Town.

Naturally, he kept the spirit stones for the pill auction. However, Pei Hao would always donate the entrance fee to Donglin Town.

It had to be known that every time Pei Hao held an auction, the entire Jiangzhou would hear about it. Just the entrance fee alone was not a small sum.

The tickets were not just Great Qian Gold, but also spirit stones.

The Great Qian Gold was used to subsidize the ordinary residents of Donglin Town, while spirit stones were used to fund the young martial artists of Donglin Town.

It was also because of this relationship that although Donglin Town was within the influence of the Song family, the Song family had not plundered a single cent here.

Back to business.

Knowing that Pei Hao was about to start the auction again, Chen Yang couldn't help but ask, "Do you know the specific types and quantities of the pills being auctioned this time?"

"I'm not too sure. But according to the information that's been circulating, there's probably a Meridian Unlocking Pill."

Meridian Unlocking Pill!

Hearing these three words, Chen Yang instantly lost his composure.

This Meridian Unlocking Pill was a seventh-grade medicinal pill. Its effect was even more fascinating to countless peak Qi Refinement realm martial artists. That was to increase the chances of breaking through to the Genesis realm by 30%.

There were many pills in this world that could help one break through to the eighth-grade.

However, these pills had a fixed weakness. That is if they failed to break through, they would cause damage to themselves.

At best, the practitioner would be seriously injured. At worst, his meridians would be broken and he would die on the spot.

As a seventh-grade medicinal pill, the Meridian Unlocking Pill was different. Increasing the chances of breaking through by 30% was secondary. Most importantly, this medicinal pill did not have any side effects. It did not matter even if the breakthrough failed.

Moreover, this Meridian Unlocking Pill had the effect of stabilizing the meridians. Even if he failed to break through, he could guarantee that his realm would not decline.

All kinds of wonders made this Meridian Unlocking Pill the most precious existence among the supplementary pills for breaking through the Genesis Realm.

"If the Meridian Unlocking Pill appears, it will definitely be another fierce battle." Chen Yang sighed.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, other than those high and mighty seventh-grade factions, who else did not need this Meridian Unlocking Pill?

Even a seventh-grade faction would not mind having more Genesis experts.

One could imagine how competitive it would be to obtain this Meridian Unlocking Pill.

"Then, Family Head, are we going to fight for this Meridian Unlocking Pill?" Chen Xuan looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was currently at the peak of Qi Refinement. With the help of the Meridian Unlocking Pill, with Chen Yang's aptitude, it was very likely that he could break through to the Genesis Realm in a few months.

"I think there's no need. Every time this Meridian Unlocking Pill is sold, the price is about 3,000 spirit stones. How can our Chen family take out so many spirit stones?"

Chen Yang actually wanted to obtain this Meridian Unlocking Pill, but when he thought of his family's situation, he could only suppress the desire in his heart.

Hearing Chen Yang say this, Chen Xuan was silent for a moment. Then, he seemed to have made up his mind. "Family Head, if it really doesn't work, why don't we use our family's heritage?"

"Use our family's heritage?" Chen Xuan's words shocked Chen Yang.

This so-called family heritage was what a family could rely on to turn the tables at the most critical moment.

Although the Chen family was a newly established ninth-grade family, they had also accumulated a lot of spirit stones over the years.

These spirit stones were the heritage for the Chen family to turn the tables when they encountered danger in the future.

"That's right. Use the heritage of the family to obtain a Meridian Unlocking Pill for the Family Head." Chen Xuan confirmed his words again.

"But isn't this family's heritage something that can only be used in times of crisis?" Chen Yang asked.

"Family Head, this is a time of crisis!"

Chen Xuan suddenly stood up and looked around. Then, he focused his gaze on Chen Yang. "Family Head, the Gongsun family is no longer hiding their ambitions."

"If we still feel pity to spend spirit stones, when the Gongsun family attacks, these spirit stones can only become their spoils of war."

"That's right. I also think that we should use our family's heritage to obtain a Meridian Unlocking Pill for the Family Head." After Chen Xuan, Chen Meng also expressed his opinion.

Immediately after, the elders stood up one after another, all thinking that they could use their family's heritage.

When Chen Yang saw this, he did not continue to be coy. Chen Yang would remember the kindness of his clansmen. One day, he would repay them.

"Alright, in that case, let's use our family's heritage to buy the Meridian Unlocking Pill for me!"

Seeing that the Family Head had agreed, a smile appeared on Chen Xuan's face. "That's good."

As the Family Head he was loyal to, and according to familial seniority, Chen Yang was also considered his nephew. Chen Xuan naturally hoped that Chen Yang would become stronger.

Since he had decided to participate in the auction, Chen Yang naturally had to make plans early.

Immediately, Chen Yang looked at Mo Xingling. "Miss Mo, please tell the Mo family that my Chen family plans to bid for the Meridian Unlocking Pill."

"At the same time, please invite Family Head Mo to Maple City to discuss matters. After all, this auction might be the first confrontation between our two alliances."

"Xingling understands." Mo Xingling nodded and immediately left.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, five days and nights had passed.

In the past five days, the news that Pei Hao was going to auction pills had completely spread throughout Jiangzhou. All the major and minor forces heard the news and were thinking about how to obtain some benefits from the auction.

Meanwhile, Family Head Mo and Family Head Li quietly rushed to the Chen family after receiving Chen Yang's orders.

As the three-family alliance was currently in the dark, in order not to alert the enemy, the two family heads specially rushed over from the Song family's territory.

Maple City, in the Chen family's reception hall.

Family Head Mo took a sip of hot tea and looked at Chen Yang. "Family Head Chen, why did you call us here?"

"Of course it's to use this auction to cause trouble for the Gongsun family and the other two families." Chen Yang smiled.

"Looking for trouble? Family Head Chen, do you mean that our alliance doesn't have to be hidden anymore?" Family Head Li looked at Chen Yang strangely.

Logically speaking, this kind of alliance was the best in the dark, because only in this way could they stab the enemy ruthlessly without realizing it.

"The alliance can't be hidden. After a while, the three families will start to attack our Chen family. At that time, the two of you will definitely take action."

"It's fine if it's the final battle, but if it's not the final battle, hiding is probably useless."

"I might as well take this opportunity to cause some trouble for the Gongsun family."

Chapter 31

"That's right."

"Good point."

The two Family Heads nodded. Chen Yang was right. It was impossible for a battle between families to start with a life-and-death battle between Genesis Ancestors.

They needed to target the enemy from all sides to weaken their strength. They would only make a move when they could kill them in one strike and not damage their own strength too much.

The Gongsun family would definitely do the same. At that time, the Li family and the Mo family would definitely provide support. The alliance would be discovered sooner or later.

It was better to cause some trouble for these people and weaken them before they could react.

"Then, Family Head Chen, how do you want us to cooperate?" Family Head Li asked.

"The Chen family will be in charge of attracting the attention of the three families. As for the Li family and the Mo family, they will attack the Feng family's business when everyone goes to Donglin Town."

"At that time, our Chen family will first provoke the Gongsun family and attract the attention of the three families."

"The Chen family doesn't want a single bit of the resources we plundered from this operation. We'll give them all to the two of you," Chen Yang said.

Hearing Chen Yang's plan, Family Head Li's eyes lit up. "Wonderful. There's already a gap between the Liu family and the Feng family. It's all thanks to the Gongsun family that we can form an alliance."

"If we attack the Feng family, the Liu family will definitely stand by and watch without knowing about our alliance."

"And because of the Chen family, the Gongsun family won't save the Feng family. At that time, there will definitely be a rift between the three families."

"That's not all." Family Head Mo took over the conversation and said with a smile, "If we operate it well, we might be able to turn the Feng family against them in the final battle."

"Ah, the Feng family will defect?" Family Head Li looked at Family Head Mo in confusion. Our two families have already ambushed them, so why would they still side with us?

"Everything depends on the person." Chen Yang was very confident about this. "We attacked the Feng family because we are on different sides."

"Compared to the two families who are on the same side as the Feng family but are watching from the sidelines, the Feng family's hatred for us might really not be high."

"When the time comes, if they are given a high profit. Perhaps the defection will really succeed."

After the Li family and the Mo family finished discussing the plan, they took a tour of the Chen family. After seeing the Chen family's teachings, the two family heads said that they would implement it when they returned.

At that time, Chen Yang's scalp went numb. Good lord, this time, not only my family, but the Li family and the Mo family will also scold me behind my back.

After a simple tour, the two families left, waiting for the auction to begin.

About seven days later, Pei Hao officially announced that he would hold an auction in Donglin Town in a month's time and invite all forces to Donglin Town.

The major families who received the news all set off for Donglin Town.

Although there was still a month to the auction, only the Beastmaster Sect was qualified to participate in the entire Jiangzhou.

Donglin Town was located in the middle of Nanyang County. With the Gale Wolf's speed, it arrived in half a day.

Everyone would spend the remaining month in Donglin Town. Fortunately, the Dao Integration Bead could refine energy anywhere. Otherwise, Chen Yang would have suffered a huge loss this month.

"Let's go and find a place to stay first."

After arriving at Donglin Town, everyone went straight to the inn and booked rooms for a month.

There were countless forces coming to Donglin Town this time. In order to avoid trouble, Chen Yang and the others spent the next month in the inn.

A month later.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Yang took a deep breath and stabilized the boiling spiritual energy in his dantian[2.Dantian means the point two inches below the navel where one's qi resides]. "After a month of cultivation, the spiritual energy in my dantian has increased a lot."

"Next, I just have to wait for the Meridian Unlocking Pill to break through my meridians and transform my spiritual energy and to become a Genesis Expert."

"However, whether I can obtain the Meridian Unlocking Pill will depend on the outcome of this auction."

According to Alchemist Pei Hao, the auction would begin at noon today. There was only half a day left for the major factions.

Immediately, Chen Yang did not dare to be long-winded and led the Chen family to the auction.

The auction was held in a merchant house in the middle of Donglin Town. This merchant was mainly responsible for the daily necessities of Donglin Town. His house was quite large and was suitable for holding an auction.

"Hello, you have to pay 1,000 Great Qian Gold and 10 Spirit Stones to enter the auction," said the guard outside the auction house.

How dark.

After complaining in his heart, Chen Yang paid the entrance fee and brought the First Elder into the auction.

As there were many forces participating in the auction, only two people could enter the ninth-grade aristocratic families. As for the VIP rooms, there was no need to think about it. Only eighth-grade aristocratic families had such treatment.

"Family Head Chen, we meet again."

After Chen Yang sat down, a familiar and ear-piercing voice sounded in his ear.

He turned around and saw Gongsun Miao sneering at him.

"Master Gongsun, what kind of medicinal pills are you buying today? Have you brought enough spirit stones?" Chen Yang also put on a fake smile.

"There's no need for Family Head Chen to worry. On the other hand, Family Head Chen, have you brought enough spirit stones? If you can't buy the pills you want because you don't have enough spirit stones, it will be a huge loss," Gongsun Miao said.

For a moment, the forces sandwiched between the two families felt the incompatibility between the two families.

Fortunately, both families knew that this was not a place where they could be impudent, so they ignored each other.

However, they made up their minds that if the other party took a fancy to the pill, they would definitely help stir it up.

As the aristocratic families entered the auction, the atmosphere gradually reached its peak.

When the few factions entered the auction, the atmosphere completely exploded.

"The Beastmaster Sect, the Spirit Sword Pavilion, and the Loyalty Marquis Residence. Good lord, three seventh-grade factions actually came to this auction."

"Since these three factions are here, the auction should begin."

As if to verify this person's words, a middle-aged man in a purple robe appeared on the auction stage.

"Thank you for coming to my auction. Let's skip the small talk and start immediately."

After a simple opening, the auctioneer in charge of the auction went on stage. The auction officially began!

Because Chen Yang and the others had a clear goal, which was to obtain the Meridian Unlocking Pill, they were not interested in other medicinal pills and closed their eyes to rest.

Until Chen Yang heard the auctioneer's voice.

"The next item for auction is the Meridian Unlocking Pill. There are a total of ten Meridian Unlocking Pills. Please don't miss it because you are stingy with spirit stones."

"They're coming!"

Chen Yang suddenly opened his eyes. There were a total of ten Meridian Unlocking Pills. This competition did not seem ordinary.

"The starting price of the first Meridian Unlocking Pill is 1,000 spirit stones. Each increment must be at least ten spirit stones."

As the auctioneer finished speaking, the bidding price for the Meridian Unlocking Pill was quickly raised. In just a few dozen breaths, it was already close to 2,000 spirit stones.

"Family Head, should we bid?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Of course we should. The value of this Meridian Unlocking Pill goes higher the more it goes towards the end. If we are more ruthless in the bidding at the beginning, it probably won't cost that much spirit stones."

Immediately, Chen Yang shouted, "3,000 spirit stones!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was stunned for a moment. Although everyone knew very well that the price of the Meridian Unlocking Pill would definitely go above 3,000 spirit stones,

However, the sudden bid of 3,000 spirit stones still stunned everyone.

After a while, a voice continued, "3,010 spirit stones."

"3,200!"

Chen Yang did not waste his breath. If he added it bit by bit, who knew how much the Meridian Unlocking Pill would be hyped up.

It had to be known that the Chen family's heritage was only 5,000 spirit stones. If the losses were too great, it would really affect their heritage.

"3,200 spirit stones. This price is already quite high. Looks like this person is determined to obtain this Meridian Unlocking Pill."

"Forget it, forget it. There's more to come. There's no hurry to fight this person."

For a moment, everyone hesitated to raise the price. The fight for the first one was already so fierce. But if they don't raise the price, it's a bit of a pity.

During this hesitation, the auctioneer announced, "This Meridian Unlocking Pill goes to this noble family."

Chen Yang was overjoyed. He hurriedly paid the spirit stones and left with Chen Xuan.

Since he had bought the Meridian Unlocking Pill, there was no point in staying any longer. He might as well leave quickly and save himself the trouble.

However, what Chen Yang could not figure out was why Gongsun Miao did not interfere. With the relationship between the two families, even if Gongsun Miao did not help them, he would still try to snatch away what they wanted.

What Chen Yang did not know was that Gongsun Miao also heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Chen Yang leave.

Alright, we'll buy that pill after you leave. Just wait. When the Patriarch comes back, this Meridian Unlocking Pill will also be ours.

After leaving the auction, Chen Yang was about to leave when a voice stopped him.

"Family Head Chen, please wait a moment."

Chen Yang looked over and realized that it was a young man in a waiter's uniform who was calling him.

"You know me?" Chen Yang was a little puzzled. He had not reached the point where everyone in the world knew him. How could a waiter know him?

The waiter first looked around cautiously, then whispered, "Family Head Chen, I have secrets related to your Chen family and the Gongsun family. Please excuse me."

Chen Yang stared at the waiter for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll follow you."

Chen Yang thought to himself, Since this person knows me, he might really have some secret.

This matter concerned the Gongsun family, so Chen Yang did not dare to be careless. Even if it was just a slight possibility, he had to take it seriously.

Immediately, under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them arrived at a tea stall in the south of Donglin Town.

After the three of them sat down and the hot tea was served, Chen Yang couldn't help but say, "Now, can you tell me the secret?"

"I need some money. Just give me the money and I'll tell you the secret," the waiter said.

"You haven't told me the secret yet. How can I give you money? This isn't how you do business." Chen Yang smiled.

Actually, at this moment, Chen Yang already believed that this waiter really held the secret of the Gongsun family.

Now, Chen Yang was curious about how the waiter heard it.

Since it was a secret, they must be careful when they talked.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, the waiter was very conflicted. However, thinking that he had to choose to believe in Chen Yang now, he could only brace himself and say, "Forget it, I believe in Family Head Chen."

"This secret is that the Gongsun family plans to buy a Beauty Pill and they said that they're going to give it to some general's wife."

"According to them, their Ancestor who participated in the battle saved the general's pet beast's life. He even sacrificed his natal beast for it."

"The Gongsun family wants to use this opportunity to offer this Beauty Pill so that their Ancestor can return early."

"And I also heard that this matter is almost certain. As long as they offer this Beauty Pill, their Ancestor will be back in a year."

The waiter's words shocked Chen Yang and Chen Xuan. There was only one Ancestor of the Gongsun family who participated in the battle, and that was Gongsun Mang's brother, Gongsun Lu.

This Gongsun Lu was not simple. With a fifth-stage Genesis Realm cultivation, he could be considered an expert among the Genesis Realm Ancestors in Nanyang County.

Although his natal beast had died in battle, he still had considerable strength. If this person returned, the Chen family would be finished.

"No wonder the Gongsun family didn't stop us. So this was their plan." Chen Yang understood why the Gongsun family didn't stir up trouble.

"Let me ask you a question. How did you hear this news?" Chen Yang smiled at the waiter.

When the waiter met Chen Yang's gaze, he subconsciously wanted to escape, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "From a young age, I've been able to hear voices within a hundred meters."

"When I grew up, this hearing range became even greater. By now, no movement within ten miles can escape my ears."

"That's why I know you, sir."

Hearing the waiter mention his uniqueness, Chen Yang and Chen Xuan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

'So special, I'm afraid…'

Immediately, Chen Yang continued to ask with a smile, "Then why don't you use this ability to earn money?"

"I know that if it is known, this ability is definitely a curse and not a blessing or a curse, so I've been hiding it. And now that Mother is seriously ill, I can only take the risk to seek help from you."

At this point, the waiter looked at Chen Yang with tears in his eyes. "Sir, I don't ask for much. I just want to treat my mother."

"Sure, sure," Chen Yang replied with a smile.

Suddenly, Chen Yang threw a punch. This sudden change shocked the waiter and he subconsciously dodged.

Perhaps even the waiter did not notice that he had dodged several meters.

In terms of speed, even late-stage Qi Refinement realm martial artists could not compare to him.

"What is the meaning of this, sir? Are you trying to silence me?"

"Not bad, not bad. Let me ask you, have you ever cultivated before?" Chen Yang looked at the waiter.

Hearing this, the waiter lowered his head dejectedly. "I don't have food to eat at home, let alone cultivate."

"Very well, then. Come with me. I'll not only cure your mother, but I'll make sure you're well fed and not have to worry about basic necessities. You'll set foot on the path of cultivation."

"Of course, that's assuming you know." Chen Yang looked at the waiter.

"I understand. I will definitely use my abilities to repay the Chen family," the waiter said.

For revealing the secret this time, he was already prepared for such. As for why he chose the Chen family, after all, if he were to pledge allegiance to them, he probably had more benefits than going to another family.
