Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

175: I also want the secret techniques for weapon crafting!Looking at the anxious Chen Chuanwen, Chen Changsheng only chuckled and called him to the side.

”In the current Annan Prefecture, the ones in charge are the Three Great Immortal Clans and the Prefect of Annan Prefecture. If you report this to the central government of the Great Xuan Dynasty, how will people look at us?”

Chen Changsheng spoke in a soft tone. If they still wanted to establish themselves in Annan Prefecture, they could not ignore the thoughts of the top powers in the region. After all, reporting to a higher level over the heads of local authorities is a major taboo in officialdom!

”This...”

Chuanwen was momentarily speechless; he truly hadn’t considered the impact of reporting over his superiors’ heads.

”Furthermore, if we report directly to the Prefect, the Lin Family has been entrenched in Annan Prefecture for over a hundred years. Do you know what connections they have with the Prefect? Perhaps this smuggling business is something they just turn a blind eye to!”

Seeing Chuanwen remain silent, Chen Changsheng continued. Annan Prefecture wasn’t exactly large, but it wasn’t small either. The Lin Family had been in this circle for over a century, and their relationships were tangled and complex; how could they be easily unraveled?

”This...”

Chen Chuanwen was again at a loss for words, only lowering his head in deep thought. Things were exactly as his father said; the Lin Family’s relations were already inextricably linked with the Xiao Family of the Three Great Immortal Clans, so how could they not have a relationship with the Prefect?

”And there is one most important point!”

At this point, Chen Changsheng suddenly lowered his voice, beckoned Chuanwen to his side, and said cautiously.

”I also want that Artifact Refining Secret Method and the heaven and earth spiritual fire! Our Chen family’s top-tier Ores cannot keep being used to benefit others. It’s best if we, the Chen family, refine them ourselves!”

Hearing his father’s words, Chen Chuanwen was first startled, and then his eyes flashed with a sharp light. He was naturally a lawless character; the laws of the Great Xuan Dynasty could not scare him at all.

The only things that could make him decide whether something should be done were considerations of risk and profit. Clearly, if the Lin Family could do it, why couldn’t the Chen family!

”Father, that’s a great idea! With our family’s purple gold copper ore and cold abyss ice crystal, we can definitely open up the market of the Crimson Flame Divine Sect. I have no more objections!”

Seeing that Chuanwen also agreed with his idea, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but chuckle, and then the two of them walked back to the group.

At this moment, Lin Jindong was anxiously waiting for his fate. He knew his life or death rested on the conversation between the father and son just now.

”Uncle Mantou, hurry up and take your revenge. We still have to return to Jade Dragon Peak!”

Chuanwen changed his previous attitude of protecting Lin Jindong and spoke to Uncle Mantou with a smile. Uncle Mantou looked up at Chen Changsheng, who smiled and nodded.

”How is this possible? Don’t you want leverage over the Lin Family? This could absolutely bring the Lin Family down!”

Lin Jindong roared hoarsely. He didn’t understand how, in the face of such a major matter and such great profit, the Chen Family members weren’t moved at all!

”Lin Jindong, Karma is a cycle; it’s time for you to pay your debt!”

Uncle Mantou walked up to the roaring Lin Jindong and crushed his throat with a punch. Uncle Mantou was very precise; he only crushed the Adam’s apple so he wouldn’t die on the spot, then dragged him away. What awaited Lin Jindong was the torture of the Cold Blade Tower assassins.

”Zhao Song!”

Chen Changsheng called out to Zhao Song, who was on guard ahead. Zhao Song immediately rushed over, cupped his hands, and said:

”Adoptive father, what is it?”

”After we return, pick a team of men to take root in Tonghai County. This location is important, connecting many islands in the East Sea. I will have great use for it in the future!”

Chen Changsheng looked at the vast sea in the distance, and a thought immediately occurred to him. As a modern person, he naturally knew the convenience of maritime transport. With the port of Tonghai County, the Chen family could do business with many people without being strictly confined within Annan Prefecture.

”Understood, adoptive father. I will arrange it as soon as I return!”

Zhao Song nodded. He didn’t know the plan in Chen Changsheng’s heart, but he would perfectly execute Chen Changsheng’s orders!

Fifteen minutes later, Uncle Mantou returned to the group.

”Mantou, have you taken your revenge?”

Chen Changsheng asked Uncle Mantou. Uncle Mantou nodded and said, ”Lin Jindong was the culprit. Now that he is dead, I have no more regrets in my heart!”

”How can a mere Lin Jindong wash away your years of hatred? There’s also the Cold Blade Tower and the Lin Family; every single one of them will pay the price!”

Chen Changsheng walked to Uncle Mantou’s side and patted his shoulder. Uncle Mantou fell into silence. In his heart, his hatred for the Lin Family might not be deep, but he definitely held a grudge against the Cold Blade Tower.

”Let’s withdraw to Jade Dragon Peak first. Don’t worry, Mantou, they will surely line up to seek death from us!”

Chen Changsheng said to Uncle Mantou, then turned his horse around and called everyone to head toward Jade Dragon Peak together.

Two hours later, everyone returned to the foot of Jade Dragon Peak.

In the past, basically no one except the Chen Family members could go up Jade Dragon Peak.

But today, Chen Changsheng made an exception and brought the twenty-two Blood Refining Peak experts Zhao Song had brought along up to Jade Dragon Peak.

These people had already proven their loyalty in the previous battle. They would become the backbone of the Chen family in the future, becoming the Chen family’s sharpest talons!

”Chuanwen, take everyone to settle in. Aside from the waterfall in the back mountain, take them for a good walk around Jade Dragon Peak. Hunt a few wild deer in the back mountain and catch some big fish in the Jade Dragon Pool. We’ll have a barbecue together tonight!”

Chen Changsheng said to Chuanwen. Chuanwen nodded and invited everyone to stay in the Courtyard House. Fortunately, many empty rooms were built in the Courtyard House originally, so these twenty-odd people were able to stay.

Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng went to the Pill Refining Room. Since people had performed meritorious service, they had to be rewarded. He didn’t have any xiantian pills on hand, so he had to work overtime to refine them!

Fortunately, he was already proficient with the xiantian pill. Moreover, his Alchemy techniques had improved greatly. The xiantian pill, which used to be as difficult as reaching the heavens, was now just a piece of cake for him.

Chen Changsheng refined in the Pill Refining Room for the entire afternoon. His success rate reached seventy percent, and he refined a total of thirty-two xiantian pills. He put them into jade bottles and then walked out of the Pill Refining Room.

As soon as he stepped out of the pill room, Chen Changsheng smelled the aroma of barbecue coming from the back mountain, so he walked toward the Jade Dragon Pool.

Sure enough, Chuanjie was leading everyone in a barbecue near the Jade Dragon Pool. After a big battle, everyone’s hearts were quite tense. Now, drinking wine and roasting meat allowed their tense moods to completely relax.

”Adoptive father! Over here!”

Zhao Song held a deer leg in his hand and greeted Chen Changsheng with a smile.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng didn’t stand on ceremony. He walked over to Zhao Song, took the deer leg, and had a taste. The roasted flavor was truly not bad.

”Everyone, stop for a moment!”

After taking a sip of wine, Chen Changsheng clapped his hands, and the cheerful atmosphere of the crowd fell silent.

”Everyone, for fighting for my Chen family today, I, Chen Changsheng, am extremely grateful. As the saying goes, merit must be rewarded. I, Chen Changsheng, am skilled in a few Alchemy techniques and have decided to give each of you a xiantian pill!”

Seeing everyone’s confused expressions, Chen Changsheng chuckled and continued:

”What is a xiantian pill? It is a pill that increases the chance of promoting to Innate by fifty percent. Do you all want it?”

For a moment, the sound of many people gasping for air rang out on the field. Thinking that reaching Innate could be so easily successful, everyone couldn’t help but cheer together.

”Thank you, Family Head!!! Long live the Family Head!!!”
