Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

169: Once you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment stage, you’ll be invincible!When Chen Changsheng’s spiritual imprint was completely engraved upon the Ice Soul King Scorpion’s Sea of Consciousness, he felt a wave of coolness and clarity in his mind.

Subsequently, he felt as if this little fellow was connected to him by Bloodline, with the previous barrier completely gone; he could feel the Ice Soul King Scorpion’s deep affection for him.

Generally speaking, Gu insects do not have high intelligence, as it is one of the hardest things for insects to evolve sentience; typically, they only develop the intellect of an adult upon reaching the Golden Core stage.

The Ice Soul King Scorpion currently only has the intelligence of a two or three-year-old infant; it can only simply convey its likes and dislikes to Chen Changsheng through spiritual connection.

For instance, now that Chen Changsheng had left an imprint in its Sea of Consciousness, it instinctively felt close to him and conveyed its fondness for him.

”Come here!”

Chen Changsheng said to the Ice Soul King Scorpion, and the little fellow crawled all the way over to him, obediently stopping in Chen Changsheng’s palm.

”Hahaha, now my Chen Family finally has a trump card to establish a foothold in the Annan Prefecture!”

Chen Changsheng looked at the obedient Ice Soul King Scorpion before him and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

As for the Gu God Cult, aside from the Foundation Establishment Cult Leader, no other figures pose a threat anymore!

The Lin Family of the Prefecture City is but a withered skeleton in a tomb, merely waiting for death; it is time for the Chen Family to take a seat among the Five Great Aristocratic Families of the Prefecture City!

Among the Three Great Immortal Clans, aside from their Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors, no one else remains for the Chen Family to fear!

It could be said that the Chen Family of Annan Prefecture now has the qualifications to intervene; from now on, the Chen Family no longer needs to be timid, they will welcome a new era of their own!

”Diligently working for twenty-seven years, seeking the path of cultivation as if treading on thin ice; as of today, below Foundation Establishment, there are no more rivals. My Chen Family can finally hold its head high and stand proud in Annan! Annan Prefecture, oh Annan Prefecture, it is time for my Chen Family to make our mark!”

”Let’s see who will rule the lands of Annan tomorrow?”

At this moment, a surge of heroism rose within Chen Changsheng as he gazed toward the Annan Prefecture City with burning eyes. His three sons were all exceptional; the eldest and the third both had the potential for Foundation Establishment, they just needed time to grow!

And today, with Chen Changsheng having refined the Ice Soul King Scorpion Gu, he could sufficiently protect the two of them, allowing them to grow safely into the Foundation Establishment Stage!

There are already three Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans in Annan Prefecture; what’s the harm in adding one more, his Chen Family!

The day of his Chen Family’s rise in Annan begins today!!!

A long time later, Chen Changsheng composed his surging emotions, placed the Ice Soul King Scorpion on his shoulder, and walked out of the courtyard. Perhaps because this little fellow had stayed in the pitch-black, prison-like depths of the pool for so long, it was exceptionally obsessed with sunlight and was completely unwilling to stay in Chen Changsheng’s sleeve.

So, Chen Changsheng had no choice but to follow the wishes of his ”big supporter,” letting it lie lazily on his shoulder to enjoy the warmth of the sun.

Walking out of the Pill Refining Room, Chen Changsheng originally wanted Chuanjie to get some deer blood from the back mountain. Deer blood, tiger blood, and rooster blood are the things with the strongest Yang Qi among animals; the Ice Soul King Scorpion has a natural cold-poison body and needs Yang Qi to harmonize it for advancement!

But unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, he saw his three sons already gathered at the door, especially Chuanwen, who looked anxious.

”Father, did you succeed?”

Chen Chuanjie looked at the Ice Soul King Scorpion obediently lying on Chen Changsheng’s shoulder, his face filling with excitement. As the only one who had fought the Ice Soul King Scorpion, he knew its strength all too well!

”I succeeded by a stroke of luck. What are the three of you doing crowding around here?”

Chen Changsheng laughed, then turned his gaze toward Chuanwen. Chen Chuanwen looked anxious and had clearly been waiting for a long time. Seeing Chen Changsheng’s gaze, he said impatiently:

”Father, I have an important matter to report. The eldest and the third kept stopping me, not letting me in, saying you were refining some Gu insect!”

Chen Chuanwen glanced at the crystal-clear Ice Soul King Scorpion. Although he marveled at its beauty and delicacy, he did not sense its power at all because of its small size.

”Yes, I was indeed refining a Gu. What urgent matter do you have?”

Now that he had a trump card, Chen Changsheng acted with more confidence. In the past, if Chuanwen had come running in a hurry, Chen Changsheng would have definitely been worried, as Chuanwen controlled the Black Ice Platform; whatever made him anxious had to be a major event.

But now, Chen Changsheng was perfectly calm. This was the benefit of having strength.

”Father, Uncle Mantou has found the assassin organization that crippled him in the past, called the Cold Blade Tower. He is bent on revenge, and I only managed to stop him after much persuasion, because I discovered that the backer behind the Cold Blade Tower is none other than the Lin Family of the Prefecture City!”

”Our strength is not yet equal to the Lin Family, and we still need to lie low. However, Uncle Mantou’s tracks have been exposed. Now the Cold Blade Tower has discovered him, and within a few days, the assassins they send to hunt him down will arrive!”

”Father, why don’t we have Uncle Mantou leave Annan and take refuge outside for a while!”

Chen Chuanwen explained the situation with an anxious face. Upon hearing Chen Chuanjie’s words, Chen Changsheng’s face darkened instantly.

”Steamed Bun helped our Chen Family so much when our power was weak. Now that his enemy is right before him, not only do you not help him seek revenge, but you want to drive him out of Annan Prefecture?”

At this point, a trace of anger appeared on Chen Changsheng’s face. He pointed his finger at Chen Chuanwen and scolded him sternly:

”Chen Chuanwen, I know you are a cold and heartless brat, but I am not. Steamed Bun is my brother-in-arms; he is a member of our Chen Family. I will not abandon anyone in our Chen Family!”

Hearing Chen Changsheng’s scolding, Chen Chuanwen couldn’t help but feel aggrieved. He was doing this for the sake of the Family; he couldn’t let the Family face a mortal enemy because of one person’s private grudge. So he hurriedly tried to persuade him:

”Father, the Cold Blade Tower is not simple. Behind them is the Lin Family and Lin Tianlong of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. Our Chen Family’s strength hasn’t grown yet; it’s better to lie low...”

While Chen Chuanwen was earnestly trying to persuade him, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the side. Chen Chuanjie patted Chuanwen’s shoulder and said with a smile:

”Second Brother, to hell with Lin Tianlong. A mere Ninth Level of Qi Refining—our father can kill him like slaughtering a dog...”

Chen Chuanwen was stunned by these words. His father’s cultivation was even lower than his own; he was at least at the Qi Refining Second Layer, while his father was only at the first layer. And yet he could kill Lin Tianlong like a dog?

”What? With Father’s cultivation, how is that possible?”

Chen Chuanjie pointed at the Ice Soul King Scorpion on Chen Changsheng’s shoulder and said with a grin:

”With that freakish scorpion. What ’Qi Refinement Stage’? They’ll die as soon as they show up!”

Chen Chuanwen hadn’t followed Chen Changsheng down to the Jade Dragon Pool and hadn’t seen the Ice Soul King Scorpion show its power, so he naturally didn’t know about its freakish speed and cold poison. Thus, he said somewhat incredulously:

”Just this little thing? It looks pretty enough, but it’s only the size of a thumb. Can it actually fight?”

Hearing Chuanwen’s words, Chen Changsheng chuckled softly. He stroked the Ice Soul King Scorpion on his shoulder and said with a smile:

”Chuanwen, you’ll find out later. For now, you only need to remember one thing: from today onwards, except for Foundation Establishment, our Chen Family has no more rivals!”

”Lin Tianlong is nothing but a stepping stone for our Chen Family to enter the Annan Prefecture City. As of today, it’s time for our Chen Family to rise!”

”Go down the mountain and call Steamed Bun back. Have him come to Jade Dragon Peak. Tell him that I will personally take him to settle his blood feud and fulfill our brotherhood!”
