11: Chapter 11 Family Development

During lunch, Chu Feng announced his decision to purchase the Qingshuang Sword.

The women were all very supportive.

If Cheng Sanniang's strength increased, it would be good for everyone.

After the meal, Chu Feng called the women to the living room to hold a Family meeting.

"I called everyone here today because I want to discuss the future development of our Chu Family," Chu Feng said, getting straight to the point.

The women all sat upright and listened attentively.

"First, regarding the distribution of cultivation resources."

Chu Feng said, "My income from making Talismans is stable now. Every month, I can set aside ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones for Family development."

"A portion of this money will be used to buy Medicinal Pills to enhance everyone's strength."

"Another portion will be used to buy Cultivation Techniques and skill Jade Slips to improve everyone's skills; and another portion must be saved up to buy a foundation establishment pill for Sanniang."

Hearing this, Cheng Sanniang wanted to say something, but Chu Feng stopped her.

"Sanniang, you currently have the highest cultivation in our Family. Your successful Foundation Establishment will benefit the entire Family. Therefore, the foundation establishment pill has the highest priority."

Cheng Sanniang then nodded. "I will listen to my husband."

"Secondly, regarding the development of skills."

Chu Feng looked at Luo Xingyu. "Xingyu has already entered the threshold of Alchemy, which is a good thing."

"But just knowing Alchemy isn't enough; you also need to learn how to identify medicinal ingredients and Cultivate Spirit Medicine. So, I plan to buy some more Jade Slips regarding Spirit Plants for you and Youchu to study together."

Luo Xingyu nodded. "Okay, husband."

"Finally, regarding safety."

"I will also produce a batch of Yellow Rank High Grade offensive Talismans to give to you for self-defense."

Chu Feng said, "At least five Fireball Talismans and five Ice Spike Talismans for each person. If you encounter danger, don't be stingy, just hurl them."

The women all laughed, but their hearts felt warm.

Chu Feng's thorough considerations gave them a great sense of security.

"Alright, that's the general plan," Chu Feng concluded. "If anyone has suggestions, feel free to bring them up."

Cheng Sanniang thought for a moment and said, "Husband, I think our Family is still missing one important thing."

"What?"

"Intelligence."

Cheng Sanniang said, "We know too little about Hongyue City. For example, where Heaven And Earth Treasures have appeared, where major events have occurred, which people shouldn't be provoked... This intelligence is very important."

"I used to have some information channels on Black Stone Street, but if we want to expand them, we'll need Spirit Stones."

Chu Feng nodded. "You're right. Intelligence is indeed very important. Let's do this: we'll set aside one thousand Spirit Stones every month as an intelligence fund."

"Sanniang, you will be responsible for gathering intelligence, focusing on news about mineral veins, auction information, and the movements of various families."

"Alright," Cheng Sanniang agreed.

Lin Youchu hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Husband, I... I want to study medicine."

"Medicine?" Chu Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Yes." Lin Youchu nodded. "As our Family grows in the future, it's inevitable that people will get sick or injured. If I know medicine, I can be of help."

Chu Feng thought about it and found it reasonable.

"That's fine. I'll buy some medical books for you, but take it step by step, don't overwork yourself."

"Thank you, husband!" Lin Youchu said happily.

Seeing Lin Youchu make a request, Luo Xingyu also mustered the courage to say, "Husband, I... I want to learn to cook."

Everyone laughed.

Lin Youchu took her hand. "Xingyu, I can teach you how to cook."

"It's not just cooking." Luo Xingyu said with a blush, "I want to learn to make Spirit Food. Food made with spirit rice, Spirit Meat, and spirit herbs that can aid cultivation when eaten."

Chu Feng's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea! Spirit Food really does help with cultivation. Good, I support it. Youchu, you teach Xingyu basic culinary skills, and I'll buy some Spirit Food recipes for you two to study."

"Thank you, husband!" Luo Xingyu was also happy.

The Family meeting ended in a warm atmosphere.

The women went to their respective duties and began their busy afternoon.

Chu Feng returned to the Talisman room to continue making Talismans.

He wanted to finish another batch of spirit Talismans before going to Duobao Pavilion tomorrow.

By evening, Chu Feng had completed his task for the day.

Walking out of the Talisman room, he smelled a fragrance wafting from the courtyard.

Coming to the kitchen, he saw Luo Xingyu and Lin Youchu busy at work.

A pot of meat was stewing on the stove, smelling delicious.

"Husband, you're here."

Luo Xingyu said happily, "I learned to make a dish called 'Braised Demon Pork' today. It'll be ready soon, give it a taste."

"Alright." Chu Feng nodded with a smile.

Soon, the food was on the table.

Braised Demon Pork, stir-fried Spirit Vegetables, and spirit rice porridge—simple, but complete in color, aroma, and taste.

Chu Feng took a bite of the braised pork, his eyes lighting up. "Delicious! Xingyu, your skills are quite good."

Luo Xingyu blushed at the praise. "It's because Sister Youchu taught me well."

Lin Youchu said modestly, "It's because Sister Xingyu is talented."

"You're both amazing," Chu Feng laughed.

The women all laughed.

After dinner, Chu Feng, Cheng Sanniang, and Luo Xingyu entered the Three Talents Formation.

Two hours later, Luo Xingyu stepped out, and Lin Youchu entered the Three Talents Formation.

[Giant Spirit Root System]

[Rank: 3 (1434/10000 times)]

"At this rate, it will take another two months."

Chu Feng calculated in his mind, "However, if I can take a few more Dao Companions with Mystic Spirit Roots, the speed could be increased further."

But he also knew that wanting Mystic Spirit Roots was unrealistic; Cheng Sanniang was purely an accident.

"Let's take it slow."

The Three Talents Formation session ended.

Chu Feng, however, wasn't very sleepy.

He went into the courtyard and looked up at the starry sky.

It had been ten years since he came to this world. From initial confusion and struggle to his current stable development, he had walked a long path.

But the road was still very long.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul... the path of immortal cultivation was endless.

And he had the Giant Spirit Root System and a growing Family.

He believed that the road ahead would only get wider.

"Husband, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Cheng Sanniang walked out with a cloak over her shoulders and hugged him from behind.

"Just thinking about things." Chu Feng held her hand. "Sanniang, what do you think our Chu Family will look like in the future?"

Cheng Sanniang thought for a moment and said, "With husband here, the Chu Family will surely become a powerful immortal cultivation Family. Full of descendants, overflowing with talent, and famous across the land."

"And you? What kind of person do you want to become?"

"Me?" Cheng Sanniang smiled. "I want to become husband's sword, guarding the Chu Family and guarding husband. When husband becomes a great Cultivator in the future, I will be the sharpest sword by your side."

Chu Feng turned around and pulled her into his arms. "No, you are not a sword. You are my, Chu Feng's, wife, and the person I want to protect."

Cheng Sanniang leaned into his chest, tears shimmering in her eyes. "Husband..."

The two embraced for a long time.

"By the way, husband, there's something I want to tell you," Cheng Sanniang said suddenly.

"What is it?"

"A piece of news just came in." Cheng Sanniang whispered, "That Wang Teng from the Wang Family was asking about you today."
