29: Chapter 29 Raising a Demon Child

Fusheng Immortal City.

The Immortal City stretched for a thousand miles, with buildings packed densely together.

The outer city had seventy-two gates, such as the Rashomon Gate, the Pagoda Gate, the Jingcheng Gate...

The inner city had thirty-six halls, such as the Fusheng Hall, the Wangyue Hall, the Huaishui Hall...

Chen Xuan and his group used their identity jade tokens to enter the Wangyue Hall in the inner city.

The size of one hall was approximately ten miles in radius.

After getting off the flying boat, Chen Xuan's first realization was the concentration of Spiritual Qi!

It was much higher than the concentration of Spiritual Qi in Biyun Market!

It was almost double.

Biyun Market was built upon the confluence of several First-Grade Spiritual Veins and one Second-Grade High Grade Spiritual Vein, from which the Spiritual Qi emanated.

Yet this Fusheng Immortal City only had a pseudo Third-Grade Spiritual Vein, not even a Low Grade Third-Grade Spiritual Vein, yet the Spiritual Qi concentration was this astonishing.

If a First-Grade Spirit Gathering Array were set up, it could be increased by another thirty percent!

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Even with his Dual Cultivation Technique, he had been stuck at the Bottleneck of the sixth level of Qi Refining for quite some time.

Chen Xuan had long since prepared the Breakthrough Medicinal Pill for breaking through the Qi Refining Mid-Stage, but he had never waited for an auspicious fortune.

Not even a moderately auspicious one.

It seemed he would have to make his Breakthrough in the Immortal City.

"Husband, look, a Formation shop." Chen Qiuyu's eyes lit up as she pointed at a shop inside the Wangyue Hall.

[Second-Grade Formation Shop]!

They were actually selling Second-Grade Formations.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

One had to know that in Biyun Market, even with Chen Xuan's astonishing status and after issuing countless bounties, he had gained nothing when searching for high-quality Second-Grade Formations.

Yet, here in the Immortal City, Second-Grade Formation shops, which were rarely seen in the market, were everywhere.

Chen Xuan immediately entered with his beauties.

How much?

The group felt their eyes had misread the numbers.

First-Grade Spirit Gathering Array chessboard, 5,000 Spirit Stones!

First-Grade Trapping and Killing Formation chessboard, 10,000 Spirit Stones!

First-Grade Maze Formation chessboard, 10,000 Spirit Stones!

...

Second-Grade Spirit Gathering Array chessboard, 50,000 Spirit Stones!

Second-Grade Trapping and Killing Formation chessboard, 100,000 Spirit Stones!

Second-Grade Maze Formation chessboard, 100,000 Spirit Stones!

Even though they lived affluent lives and came from wealthy backgrounds, they were slightly stunned by these astronomical prices.

Chen Xuan had originally intended to purchase a set of Second-Grade Formations to pave the way for his future.

But this price was not something he could afford.

Currently, the Wang Family Beast Taming Workshop had an annual profit of about 30,000 Spirit Stones after deducting various expenses.

He had heard before that Formations were expensive, but he hadn't expected them to be this expensive!

After the three of them left the shop, the two women were still a bit surprised: "These Formations are so expensive, does anyone actually buy them?"

Zhang Keer agreed: "Ordinary people couldn't afford a set of Formations in their entire lifetime. The profit margin is unimaginable—it earns much more than our Spirit Beast trading."

The Dao of Formations ranked first among the hundred arts of cultivation, precisely because its difficulty was unparalleled in the world; even just getting started was extremely difficult.

But there were always some Geniuses who, after learning it, would retort: "How could anyone not learn Formations?"

"Formation shops, Medicinal Pill shops, Talisman shops, Artifact Refining shops, Beast Taming shops..." The three of them walked and stopped throughout the Wangyue Hall.

Several hours had passed since they got off the flying boat.

"Let's return to the Tianyuan Shop first," said Chen Xuan.

Tianyuan was the central intersection point in Go; Chen Xuan named it this, hoping that in the future, the Tianyuan Shop would become the center.

When the group arrived at the Tianyuan Shop in the eight dragon carriage, the attendants had already received the news and respectfully called out to the master.

Chen Xuan looked at the furnishings; they were basically arranged according to the displays of the Wang Family Beast Taming Workshop, with no major differences, though there were some variations in the details.

The exhibition areas on both sides, as well as the center of the area, were filled with merchandise.

Furthermore, they were divided into sections according to their grade.

Talismans were in a separate area, and many special Talismans had detailed introductions of their effects, as well as the mana required to use them.

Just then, a customer arrived.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy a High Grade defensive Talisman."

"Customer, please come this way. We have High Grade Talismans like [Golden Light Mantra], [Immovable Body]..."

Chen Xuan observed this service attitude and saw that it was no different from when they were in Biyun Market, so he felt relieved.

The group quickly walked to the backyard, and Chen Xuan's eyes lit up immediately.

Such dense Spiritual Qi!

This is what one calls a blessed land!

"Brother Teng, such dense Spiritual Qi." Chen Qiuyu couldn't help but breathe deeply.

Zhang Keer also nodded, puffing out her proud chest and breathing deeply.

Chen Xuan held the two beauties in his arms, feeling that life was worth it.

After the group settled down in the small courtyard, Chen Xuan left.

The Liu Family was already waiting for Chen Xuan to visit.

Just then, Chen Qiuyu's communication jade Talisman lit up.

It was a message from Master Chen.

"A Yao person!" After reading the message, Chen Qiuyu's pupils dilated; she could hardly believe it.

The last time she had heard news of Chen Yaran was during the beast tide in Biyun Market, and their desperate search had been fruitless.

She hadn't expected that he was actually alive!

Instead, he had fathered a Yao person with the Yao Race.

For a moment, Chen Qiuyu didn't know how to face this.

There were indeed many Yao person tribes in this world, but they were all in the markets near the Qingcang Sect in the west.

Many years later, receiving news again, it turned out there was turmoil within the Yao Race, and they wanted to execute Chen Yaran.

Chen Yaran's Yao Race wife had sacrificed herself right before Chen Yaran's eyes to save him and their child.

Over these years, Chen Yaran's cultivation had reached the Late-stage Qi Refining, and in a few more years, he would reach Perfection.

He was unwilling to cultivate step-by-step; he brought the child home, entrusted the child to Master Chen, and then headed for the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

If he did not reach Foundation Establishment, did not avenge the blood feud, he would not return!

Master Chen explained the situation while hoping that if any accidents occurred, Chen Qiuyu and her husband could help handle the aftermath.

Switching scenes, Chen Xuan arrived at the Liu Family's residence in Wangyue Hall.

One word: Amazing!

The Spiritual Qi was dense, the immortal mountains were lush and green, just like a blessed land.

Even the servants stood tall and upright.

Clearly, the Liu Family had a deep foundation and was truly extraordinary.

The shock at this moment was no less than when he first saw the red walls and high tiles of the Chen Family Talisman Workshop.

"You must be Young Master Wang. I am the steward of the Liu residence, President Liu Yishou. Elder Yunfei has already spoken to us about co-founding the Chamber of Commerce; the specific details will be decided between you and me." President Liu Yishou reached out to invite Chen Xuan inside.

Chen Xuan nodded and followed President Liu Yishou into the discussion hall.

"Young Master Wang, no rush. Taste this Cloud Top Red; it is a century-old Spirit Tea." President Liu Yishou smiled and pointed to the tea set in front of him.

Chen Xuan nodded and tasted the tea. It was slightly bitter at first, but with an endless sweet aftertaste, and Spiritual Qi was overflowing; clearly, this was no ordinary item.

Chen Xuan smiled and said: "Good tea. Only Qin Linglong could compare to it."

President Liu Yishou laughed: "It seems Young Master Wang is also a person who understands tea."

"In that case, this matter will be easy to discuss." President Liu Yishou wore a smile.

The Liu Family liked dealing with people.

Only those who know how to enjoy life are truly human.

If one lived only for survival, only for profit, the Wangyue Liu Clan, as a great Golden Core clan, would only have two words: Disdain!

Only people, true people, people with a life, people with a Soul, have sentiments to speak of.

What is there to discuss with merchants? Everything boils down to calculation.

Sentiments are far more valuable than calculations.

Otherwise, how could that Consultant Wang have risked his life to save him back then!
