Chapter 23 The Lion Opens His Mouth

The fourth child of the Chen family is named Chen Changning, and he is also a distant branch of the Chen family.

The families in the Red Wasteland are basically the same. The main line holds the power of the family. The distant branches have to fight for the soup while the others have the best food.

The distant branches with poor talents will work as long-term workers for the family for their whole lives.

The distant branches with good talents will usually be sent to medium and large forces as disciples by the family with some resources.

Chen Changning is considered a distant branch with good talents. He was supported by the family and joined the Qingdan Sect.

He has been doing well in recent years. Although he has not been able to break through the Qihai realm, he is also relaxed and comfortable working in the Shennong Hall that the Chen family has run for many years.

But now the Chen family is in crisis. When someone should make sacrifices, it is naturally the distant branches who will take over.

Hearing that Chen Zongming asked him to commit suicide, Chen Changning's originally gloomy face instantly lost a trace of anger.

"Really... Is there really no other way?"

Chen Changshan sighed: "At this point, what else can we do?

With irrefutable evidence pointing to you, you can use forbidden methods such as soul searching at will.

Can you keep a secret in front of a cultivator in the Condensation Realm?

Fourth brother, either you commit suicide and take the blame.

Or, the family's nearly thousand-year foundation in the sect will be uprooted."

"Our Chen family occupies a large area of ​​fertile land. Who of the surrounding families would not drool at the sight of it?

Without the support of the clan members in the sect, the family It won't be long before the destruction. "

Chen Changning knew that he had no way to survive, and sighed: "I have two sons and one daughter. One of the sons does not have immortal seeds, so let him fend for himself.

The son and daughter with immortal seeds will be left to you, third brother, to take care of. "

"Don't worry, the eldest nephew and niece will enjoy the treatment of the main vein children in the future.

I will also ensure that the second nephew who does not have immortal seeds will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime.

Their descendants of cultivators are all main vein children within five generations. "

Hearing this, Chen Changning showed a smile on his gloomy face.

"Thank you, third brother."

After saying that, he walked out of Chen Changshan's cave in a daze.

...

Liu Yuanchen took Zhang Yi's flying boat and went to the sect's meeting hall on the top of Qingyang Peak.

Along the way, Liu Yuanchen was very happy.

Zhang Yi was so angry that the Chen family would have a hard time.

However, he was still trying to calm down.

Recalling the scenes of being bullied by the Chen family at Songyun Peak before going to Yujin Mountain, Liu Yuanchen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

At the same time, tears flashed in his eyes.

His face was five points of anger, three points of grievance, and two points of unwillingness.

Soon, the flying boat arrived at the top of Qingyang Peak.

Zhang Yi took Liu Yuanchen and walked into the meeting hall.

At this time, there was only one middle-aged cultivator in the hall, sitting on the main seat.

He was wearing a green robe, and his hair was wrapped in a free and easy scarf. There was no trace of mana fluctuations from his body.

Holding a beast skin book in his hand, he looked like a scholar with no cultivation.

However, to be able to sit in the main seat of the meeting hall, this person's status must be not low, at least he must be the deputy sect master or the elder.

Zhang Yi bowed and saluted: "Disciple greets Master."

Zhang Yi is the disciple of the sect master, and the middle-aged man in front of him is the sect master of Qingdan Sect, Qingyang Sanren.

Liu Yuanchen also hurriedly followed suit and saluted: "Liu Yuanchen, a disciple of the Pill Hall, greets the Sect Master."

The middle-aged cultivator looked up at the two of them and said, "I already know what happened. I have ordered the Punishment Hall to thoroughly investigate the matter.

I will give you a satisfactory answer within one day.

Leave the wreckage of the flying boat and the body of the Qingling Bee behind, and you can withdraw first."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was stunned.

I have been brewing emotions for so long, and now I am full of anger. I wish I could pick up two knives, kill him on Songyun Peak, and chop him for three days and three nights.

My face has always maintained an extremely complicated expression, and my muscles are a little stiff.

I made so many preparations, but I was sent away after a salute without even a chance to speak?

Although Liu Yuanchen was unwilling, Zhang Yi had already bowed and saluted and left, so he could only leave with him.

After the two walked out of the hall, Qingyang Sanren put down the animal skin book in his hand with a smile on his face.

"This little guy is really interesting, but it's a pity that his immortal seed is too poor.

Since Zhao Hong likes him, let Zhao Hong train him.

My Qingdan Sect has benefited from learning Zhao Hong's inheritance."

...

The next morning, the disciples who went to the expedition left.

Liu Yuanchen did not go to the Danyao Hall to make pills, but recuperated in the cave.

Because he was injured yesterday, Zhang Yi approved three days of leave for him to rest well.

At this moment, a shout came from outside the cave: "Yuanchen, I'm here to see you."

The owner of the voice was Liu Qingyuan. Liu Yuanchen closed the formation and walked out of the cave gate with difficulty.

Liu Qingyuan was standing outside the cave, and there were two cultivators behind him, a man and a woman.

The man was quite familiar to Liu Yuanchen, it was Chen Changshan.

The woman in front of him was wearing a green palace dress, a phoenix-patterned golden crown on her head, and her face was cold.

Although Liu Yuanchen was not familiar with this person, he also knew her.

Her name was Ye Lingshuang, the current deputy head of Shennong Hall.

Her grandmother was from the Chen family, and the Ye and Chen families were also old friends.

Her grandfather was just an ordinary inner sect disciple, and in order to please the Chen family, he married a female cultivator from the Chen family with poor talent.

But her father was talented and became an idle elder of the sect.

Ye Lingshuang was even more talented, and possessed a second-grade upper-grade immortal seed.

Less than a hundred years old, he is already a monk in the Condensation Realm and has become the deputy head of Shennong Hall.

If nothing else happens, she will definitely have a place among the seven elders in the future.

The rise of the Ye family is inseparable from the support of the Chen family in the early years.

Therefore, the Ye family has become one of the Chen family's backers.

Now that the Chen family is causing trouble, and Shennong Hall is involved, Ye Lingshuang has to come out to clean up the mess.

"Eighth uncle, nephew... is inconvenienced, cough cough..."

At this time, Liu Yuanchen's arms and legs were tightly wrapped in cloth.

Even his head was wrapped in several circles of cloth.

Yesterday, I was attacked by Qingling Bee. Although I was not seriously injured, I still had a lot of scratches on my body when I fell.

After returning from the meeting hall, he used his spiritual consciousness to check his body over and over again. If there was any wound, he would wrap it up with a piece of cloth.

Liu Qingyuan saw him like this and quickly came up to help him: "Yuan Chen, why are you injured so seriously?"

"Huh...huh..." Liu Yuanchen was so breathless that he could not speak. Liu Qingyuan was worried that he would not be able to breathe and die on the spot.

Liu Qingyuan helped him back to the stone couch. Liu Yuanchen lay on the stone couch and panted for a long time before he said feebly: "The Green Spirit Bee cultivated by Shennong Hall is indeed worthy of its reputation.

The nephew was first bitten by a green spirit bee, and then fell from a height of more than ten feet.

Ahem..."

Ye Lingshuang and Chen Changshan also walked into the cave. Seeing Liu Yuanchen's half-dead state, their faces turned dark.

After a long time, Liu Yuanchen stopped coughing.

Chen Changshan came over with a smile on his face: "Xiannephew Yuan Chen, I wonder how you are feeling?"

Liu Yuanchen also replied angrily: "I'm sorry to disappoint Manager Chen. This disciple is determined to die. If you don't take action personally, I'm afraid I won't die."

Chen Changshan's face froze, and then he smiled again: "What did you say, nephew? How could I wish you to die?"

What he said was true. If Qingling Bee had killed Liu Yuanchen before, no one would have stood up for a dead man.

But Liu Yuanchen was not dead, and Zhao Hong and Zhang Yi were there to protect him.

Now everyone knows that it was the Chen family who tried to harm him.

Once Liu Yuanchen dies, the Chen family will be nothing but shit.

Now the Chen family is more concerned about Liu Yuanchen's health than the Liu family and hopes he will recover soon.

Chen Changshan hit a wall and couldn't say anything else. He turned to look at Ye Lingshuang beside him.

A smile appeared on Ye Lingshuang's pretty face, which was as cold as frost.

"The Punishment Hall has found out the whole story. Chen Changning, who was in charge of Qing Ling Bee, made a mistake and released Qing Ling Bee.

Chen Changning committed suicide out of fear of guilt. He left a suicide note before his death and took all the responsibility for the crime. "

“This time the child was seriously injured, and I, Shennongtang, are also responsible.

If you need any compensation, Shennongtang will do our best to satisfy it. "

Liu Yuanchen felt a chill in his heart. The Chen family was quite cruel.

He failed to harm himself, and actually let a clan member commit suicide and take the blame.

With no evidence to prove, there is Ye Lingshuang as a backer.

There is absolutely no hope of trying to lure other members of the Chen family into trouble, so we can only pay more compensation.

As an inner disciple of the Pill Hall, Liu Yuanchen could not take Chen Changshan, the manager of the Shennong Hall, seriously, but he could not be rude to Ye Lingshuang.

As the deputy head of Shennong Hall, she is a real elder with real power and has the right to participate in the sect's decision-making.

It is too easy to put small shoes on for an inner disciple.

Ye Lingshuang came out as guarantee. She could raise conditions, but she could never make the matter a stalemate.

Otherwise, Shennongtang will be offended to death.

With my small body, I can't withstand the pressure of the Second Hall of Qingdan Sect.

Although he did not stand up, he still raised his hands and said, "Deputy Hall Master Ye is serious, this time the Chen family caused me to be seriously injured, and the carved feather flying boat worth a thousand spiritual stones was also damaged.

My request for compensation is also from the Chen family and has nothing to do with Shennongtang. "

Ye Lingshuang's cold voice sounded again: "No matter what, I, Shennongtang, am also responsible, and this Eagle Feizhou Shennongtang is here to compensate.

As for the injury, what kind of compensation does Liu Xiaoyou want? "

She was able to lower her stance so low, not because she really thought it was Shennongtang's responsibility, but mainly because Zhao Hong still had thousands of Green Spirit Bees imprisoned in his hands.

If Liu Yuanchen couldn't be compensated satisfactorily, those Green Spirit Bees would have to drink. They were thousands of Spirit Bees in the later stages of swallowing spirits.

Although it is just an ordinary green spirit bee, it still needs to eat honey before reaching adulthood.

When you reach adulthood, you can just eat some pollen, but when you break through the realm, you also need to eat a lot of honey.

Coupled with the cost of time, a Green Spirit Bee in the late stage of swallowing spirits is worth at least fifty or sixty spirit stones.

If all these Qingling Bees became Zhao Hong's food, Shennongtang would have to drink from the northwest wind for a year to make up for the losses.

Once Qingling Bee suffers heavy losses, honey production will be significantly reduced in the future, and Songyun Peak's elixir production will also be affected.

These losses add up to tens of thousands of spiritual stones.

Now is the time of the war. Once the production of elixirs is reduced, everyone in Shennongtang will suffer.

Especially the hall master and deputy hall master, a name that has no way to control the subordinates cannot escape.

With this name, you can't expect to improve your status within the sect in the future.

Although the Ye family and the Chen family have a close friendship, they cannot sacrifice their own futures to help the Chen family.

Liu Yuanchen had a smile on his face: "This disciple is not very talented. If he wants to break through the Qi Sea realm in the future, he will need the help of elixirs.

Or, the Chen family will take out a supplementary pill for breaking through the Qi Hai realm? "

He knew in his heart that the Chen family could not take out so many pills.

The Chen family must bargain if they ask for a high price and pay it back on the spot.

You have to ask for a high price first to get a satisfactory price.

Hearing this, Chen Changshan was furious: "Liu Yuanchen..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuanchen started coughing.

Looking at this posture, it seems that Chen Changshan can shock him to death if he speaks louder.

Liu Qingyuan also added a knife on the side: "Manager Chen, what do you mean?

Knowing that Yuanchen is injured, you can't be too excited.

You are so loud to scare him, are you trying to kill him?"

Ye Lingshuang also glanced at him, and Chen Changshan had to hold back his anger.

He tried to lower his voice: "Friend Liu, a supplementary pill for breaking through the Qi Hai realm usually requires more than 5,000 spirit stones.

Now that the war has begun, the price of elixirs has skyrocketed, and even 10,000 spirit stones may not be enough to get them.

Although my Chen family is considered good among small forces, it is impossible to take out so many spirit stones at once.

Moreover, these elixirs are strategic resources and are extremely difficult to sell at ordinary times. ”

Liu Yuanchen looked indifferent: "Is that so? Then I can't do anything about it.

Deputy Hall Master Zhao said before that if there is no explanation, he will use Qingling bees as wine."

Ye Lingshuang came out to smooth things over: "It is difficult to raise an auxiliary elixir. Let's do this, let the Chen family compensate one elixir."

Hearing this, Chen Changshan's face looked much better.

There are four types of auxiliary elixirs, and the cheapest one is the Blood Jade Pill, which only costs about 1,000 spirit stones.

"My Chen family is willing to give me a Blood Jade Pill."

Liu Yuanchen sneered: "I can give up an auxiliary elixir, but at least give me a Vein Strengthening Pill. ”

Among the auxiliary pills for breaking through the Qi Hai realm, Gumai Pill is the most valuable and the one Liu Yuanchen needs the most.

After all, other pills are to make up for one's own deficiencies. If one's own Qi, blood, mana, and consciousness are strong enough, these pills can be completely omitted.

Only Gumai Pill is used to save life and cannot be replaced at all.

Chen Changshan shook his head: "Our Chen family is powerless to do this. The major forces attach the most importance to Gumai Pill, and there are very few circulating outside.

Small forces want Gumai Pill, usually they collect medicinal materials by themselves and find alchemists to refine it. ”

"Give me a Gumai Pill spiritual medicine."

Chen Changshan shook his head again: "No, Songyun Peak does have ready-made spiritual medicine, but who dares to move it?"

Liu Yuanchen thought in his heart that what he needed most was Gumai Pill, and the second was Ningshen Pill to quickly replenish consciousness.

Since Gumai Pill can't be obtained, let's take Ningshen Pill first.

"If there is no Gumai Pill, at least give a Ningshen Pill.

In addition, you have to give me some of the various spiritual medicine seeds used to refine auxiliary pills.

Your Chen family has been rooted in Shennong Hall for thousands of years, so don't say you can't produce this little bit.

If it doesn't work again, then there's nothing to talk about. "

Liu Yuanchen has made two concessions, and there is no reason to make concessions again.

Ye Lingshuang also looked at Chen Changshan, waiting for him to make a decision.

Shennong Hall is covering for the Chen family, but the Chen family must also know what's good for them.

Chen Changshan gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll give it to you!"
