151: Chapter 151 Qin Huai's Guidance

Qin Huai's decision not to accompany Chen Jiancang to live at the Main Spiritual Vein was also because he didn't want to cause trouble for his son-in-law, who was a dragon among men. After all, Chen Jiancang had helped him many times before, and he had nothing presentable to give in return to Chen Jiancang, so he was also afraid of being gossiped about.

Now that Chen Jiancang had given him a large amount of Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill, he no longer needed to continue exploring the Qingya Mountain Range; he could calm down and focus on cultivating. With Chen Jiancang's help, he might even be able to experience the splendor of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiancang frowned. The reason he wanted everyone to live together at the Main Spiritual Vein was his concern that enemies from the Anti-Chen Alliance might attack the Spiritual Veins controlled by the Chen Family as unscrupulously as before, fearing that his close relatives might suffer an unexpected calamity.

After all, magic Cultivator forces like the Blood Hidden Gate would slaughter living beings at the drop of a hat, plundering Souls and collecting blood. magic Cultivators like Tu Wan, who were hidden within the Chen Family's Spiritual Veins, showed no restraint, even managing to collect the Souls of over a hundred Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators. If those magic Cultivator forces that weren't hidden were to come, wouldn't they be even more ruthless?

It was precisely due to this concern that Chen Jiancang decided to move to the Main Spiritual Vein, but at this time, Qin Huai was unwilling to go with him.

"I'll go and persuade father-in-law," Chen Jiancang said helplessly. For the next six months, he would travel back and forth between the Little Cloud Mountain Spiritual Vein and the Main Spiritual Vein to tend to the Spirit Fields he had planted.

But once the harvesting of the spiritual plants and herbs at the Little Cloud Mountain Spiritual Vein was finished, he would no longer shuttle between the two places.

Chen Jiancang went directly to find Qin Huai. At this time, Qin Huai was sitting in meditation, refining the medicinal power of the Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill.

Seeing Chen Jiancang arrive, he immediately stood up and stepped forward to greet him. "Son-in-law, have all the matters been dealt with?"

What happened today was a major event for the Chen Family. After all, since the Chen Family was founded 300 years ago, it had only experienced considerable upheaval at the very beginning of its establishment. However, through the ancestors' bloody battles, the Chen Family's absolute rule in the Qingya Mountain Range was established.

For 300 years, no force had dared to kill Chen Clan members on a Spiritual Vein controlled by the Chen Family. Today, such a shocking event actually occurred, and the Chen Family would absolutely not let it go.

Chen Jiancang cupped his hands and replied, "Father-in-law, Uncle-Clan Nethercloud has already been placed in his coffin. Currently, we are still waiting for someone from the Main Spiritual Vein to come and handle the matter!"

"Your son-in-law is here to discuss with you the matter of taking you to the Main Spiritual Vein," Chen Jiancang said straightforwardly.

After all, both his parents were deceased, and Meng Qingwan's were as well. Among the three, only Chen Jianyun's parents were still alive, so Jiancang attached great importance to this matter.

However, Qin Huai shook his head and said, "Jiancang, there's no need to persuade me further. My mind is made up."

"Father-in-law..."

Jiancang was about to continue persuading, but Qin Huai interrupted him and continued, "Jiancang, how could I not know your thoughts? However, you are only considering our safety and want to take us to the Main Spiritual Vein, but you haven't considered the impact of this matter on other aspects."

Chen Jiancang looked at Qin Huai in confusion. He truly didn't know that moving to the Main Spiritual Vein would have other effects. He looked at Qin Huai with an expression of being taught, waiting for Qin Huai to continue explaining.

Qin Huai pulled over a chair, motioned for Jiancang to sit down, and then said unhurriedly, "Jiancang, do you know the influence you currently have at the Little Cloud Mountain Spiritual Vein?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiancang became even more confused. He didn't know what influence he could have. He was just an ordinary First Order Alchemist. Although he had made some relatively significant contributions to the Chen Family, he rarely publicized those matters, so he considered himself to have no influence.

Chen Jiancang shook his head and asked doubtfully, "Father-in-law, I am just an ordinary Alchemist. What influence could I have at Xiao Yun Mountain?"

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Son-in-law, you are too modest. First of all, you should know that the qinghe rice cultivation plan was provided by you. You are also the youngest Alchemist master in the Chen Family, and there were rumors before that you cooperated with other Cultivators to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was detrimental to the Chen Family. At that time, everyone thought this matter was too mysterious and believed it was exaggerated and unrealistic."

Qin Huai paused and continued, "But today, everyone personally saw you cooperate with Steward Yingong to kill a Foundation Establishment magic Cultivator, and this time you were the leader. Therefore, your position in the hearts of the Chen Clan at the Little Cloud Mountain Spiritual Vein is now in no way inferior to that of the Foundation Establishment elder of the 'Yin' generation who came from our Little Cloud Mountain Spiritual Vein."

"And you are preparing to move away from the Little Cloud Mountain Spiritual Vein at this time. Isn't this telling the many Chen Clan members, and even those rogue Cultivators who are watching, that what the magic Cultivator said is true?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiancang's expression changed. He really hadn't considered the consequences in this regard. After all, even though he had lived two lives, his thoughts and consciousness were still only those of a teenager. Although influenced by some modern thoughts from his previous life, his life experience was still shallow.

At this moment, hearing Qin Huai's analysis, he immediately realized the inappropriateness of his actions.

What he thought was very simple: to reduce some unstable safety threats for those close to him.

But by moving away from the Xiao Yun Mountain Market now, he was invisibly telling others that he, Chen Jiancang, knew some internal secrets of the Chen Family. They would speculate that Old Ancestor Chen Qing Yuan might have truly passed away. Once people's morale scattered, the impact would be significant.

"This..."

"Haha, son-in-law, there's no need to worry. Didn't I stay? You are now a Core Disciple of the Chen Family, and it's perfectly understandable for you to move and live at the Main Spiritual Vein. As long as I am here, the Chen Clan members at Xiao Yun Mountain won't think in that direction," Qin Huai said with a laugh.

This was also the real reason he was determined to stay.

A trace of emotion appeared on Chen Jiancang's face. Fortunately, Qin Huai had considered this point. Otherwise, if the Chen Clan members misunderstood his intention, it would add a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"But what about you? After all, I can't be sure whether what that magic Cultivator said is false," Chen Jiancang voiced his true concern.

After all, Old Ancestor Chen Qing Yuan had indeed reached the age where his Lifespan was nearing its end. Even if his Lifespan wasn't exhausted, it was time for him to make a desperate attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. The magic Cultivators' speculation was not groundless or without basis.

"Hahaha, Jiancang, you are too focused on appearances. Although my cultivation and Realm are not as good as yours, I can still be certain that Old Ancestor Chen Qing Yuan is absolutely fine right now. Otherwise, why would those magic Cultivators send some high-level cannon fodder to test? If Old Ancestor really had something wrong, the Qingya Mountain Range would definitely be in a full-scale war by now, instead of just a few Spiritual Veins being attacked."

"This time, they chose to create some bloody slaughter at Xiao Yun Mountain. I suspect it's also an act of revenge carried out by the opposing side because of your previous cooperation with others to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Chen Jiancang nodded upon hearing this and sighed, "Father-in-law, I also thought the same about this matter. Otherwise, Tu Wan wouldn't have chosen to cause trouble on the day of my wedding. It's just a pity about Steward Nethercloud, who was implicated because of me..."

Chen Jiancang's face showed a look of worry, sorrow, and grief. The accident involving Chen Youyun caused him to fall deeply into self-blame.
