Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 108: Chapter 99 Attack on Spiritual Platform & Lici’s Hard Work (4ioo)_i

Chen Fangjie had always felt that he wasn’t the cunning sort.

He was calm and methodical in his actions, earning compliments and affection from the family elders. Even the two revered ancestors highly doted on him.

However, ever since befriending his future brother-in-law, Wang Shouzhe, his astute nature had started surfacing.

It couldn’t be helped as Shouzhe often tried to trick him. Therefore, to survive his tricks, cunningness was necessary.

That rascal has invited Ancestor Longyan here without even telling him in advance!

Ancestor Longyan scrutinized him from head to toe and indifferently said, “Such smooth talk. Luo Yi has to discipline you properly; get up now.”

Chen Fangjie couldn’t help but wryly smile. In the twenty-something years of his life, this was the first time someone accused him of babbling. Shouzhe, you sure have played me deliriously.

However, he got up and obediently replied, “Yes, everything the ancestor has said is right. I will do exactly as Luo Yi says in the future.” After all, if the wife wishes to discipline, even adjustment would do!

Brother Chen, I have pressing matters to attend to. I’ll leave now and you should rest early,” Wang Shouzhe said amicably, saluting, then left Summer Garden with Ancestor Longyan.

After Wang Shouzhe left, Chen Fangjie grew bitter, “Rest? My heart is filled with envy and jealousy; how can I possibly rest?” It was disappointing. He didn’t care much about success as long as he could participate in the climax. And then…Shouzhe didn’t really care anymore.

“Young Clan Leader Chen, Summer Garden is my property,” Wang Mei sized him up, “as you’ll be Luo Yi’s husband, it would be inappropriate for us to share a rooftop. Please make yourself comfortable,” she said.

Comfortable? Ah?

Chen Fangjie was at a loss. Where was he supposed to go in the middle of the night?

Time passed.

Day was breaking.

A black-boated ship was quietly sailing on the inner river, going towards the family business, Prosperous Farm.

Liu Yongzhou and Zhao Dingtian were both elites of the clan. They had handled countless affairs for the clan in an overt or covert manner. For the theft of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, they would have surely planned meticulously, making it impossible to realize it in a short time.

Otherwise, even if they had acquired the Heavenly Spirit Pill, they wouldn’t have the time to elope with Zhong Luoxian.

However, Wang Shouzhe was even more careful. After acquiring the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the promotion aids, he wasted no time in delivering it to Grand Elder Wang Xiaohan.

Once Grand Elder Wang Xiaohan reached the Spirit Platform Realm, everything would be secure. On top of that, he had two sets of promotion materials. Even if he had to pile it up, it would produce a Spiritual Platform ancestor.

The journey with Ancestor Longyan was the safest. At this point, Wang Shouzhe wished for a legal expert to blunder his way forward.

They journeyed without words.

By the time they reached Prosperous Farm, it was dawn.

After sending the message.

Not long after, Wang Xiaohan hurried over. After small formalities, they proceeded into a secluded mountain cave by the Prosperous Farm, which was the remnant of Liuping Mountain.

This cave was a hidden emergency shelter excavated by ancestors using natural caves. It contained a pond of spring water, and ample food storage. At the bottom of the shelter was a secret tunnel for escape.

Even a wise rabbit has three burrows, let alone a family that has been operating for over a hundred years. All major families had secret storage points and hidden paths in their assets and main residences. These were used to avoid emergencies and escapes.

This shelter was the safest place for Grand Elder Wang Xiaohan to reach the Spirit Platform Realm. Ancestor Longyan guarded the entrance of the cave; indeed, a woman was the strongest barrier.

“Grand Elder, is everything ready?” Wang Shouzhe asked while saluting.

At this time, Wang Xiaohan, who had undergone a month’s treatment, was looking pretty healthy. A cultivation pill and abundant Spirit Food made his complexion radiant, and his body filled with energy.

“Very well, I am ready to attempt the promotion,” Wang Xiaohan said, brimming with energy. However, having failed once before, he seemed a little less confident.

Wang Shouzhe responded with a joke. “Grand Elder, you are already experienced. You are not a bride who will shy away and act as if she knows nothing at all. Once you gain familiarity, you won’t even need to open your eyes for the third time. Your Two Bridges of Heaven and Earth have already been nourished by the Heavenly Spirit Pill, making you more experienced than others. You will most definitely open the Spiritual Platform. Besides this, I have prepared two sets of promotion materials for you. If necessary, we can take another month to adjust your body before making another attempt.”

“You, where did you learn these words from that you dare to mock Grand Elder?” Wang Xiaohan laughed, feeling a lot more relaxed. “But you sure know how to comfort people, I feel much more comfortable.”

Everyone knew that breaking into the Spirit Platform Realm was only the first step. It needed the Mysterious Energy to enter the Spirit Platform to establish it and consolidate the Spiritual Sense. Once the Spiritual Platform was established, the body’s Mysterious Energy could complete the Grand Circulation and induce a fundamental transformation in the body’s functions.

The human body’s Spiritual Platform is a mysterious and vulnerable place. If the first establishment failed, it usually led to some trauma, which affected the second establishment.

Therefore, each attempt to break into the Spirit Platform Realm is harder than the last, especially if the attempts are made within a short period of time – the success rate is even lower.
