27: Chapter 27 Reuniting the Chen Family Bloodline

Unexpectedly, the Taiyi Talisman Scripture has such benefits.

To verify this startling hypothesis, a strong light erupted in Chen Qingyuan's eyes!

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately spread out a second sheet of green mulberry talisman paper!

Concentrate the mind, calm the breath!

Set the brush!

This time, he was even more focused, even more confident!

The tip of the brush flowed, and spiritual power circulated!

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

The brush moved like dragons and snakes, completed in one breath!

When the final stroke landed, unfortunately, he had been too eager for success at the end, and it resulted in failure!

The second Light Body Talisman, a failure!

Chen Qingyuan's brow furrowed slightly—state of mind! The Dao of Talisman crafting truly brooks not even a hint of impatience!

But it didn't matter!

Next came the third sheet,

Concentrating, setting the brush, the spiritual power flowed smoothly without obstruction... success!

The fourth sheet... failure.

Until the sun sank in the west, a dozen sheets of green mulberry talisman paper were all exhausted! And there were six finished products!

A fifty percent success rate!

This result caused a sincere smile to appear on Chen Qingyuan's weary face!

To be able to achieve this on his first attempt at drawing was enough to leave many people dumbfounded!

At the same time, he rapidly calculated in his mind!

Compared to common offensive spiritual Talismans, the Light Body Talisman sold for a relatively lower price! Generally, three sheets cost two Spirit Stones; a fifty percent success rate barely broke even!

But he knew he still had huge room for improvement—today's mistakes mostly stemmed from fluctuations in his state of mind and lack of practice, rather than defects in skill!

As long as he practiced a little more...

Just as he was pondering!

Suddenly, a strong sense of fatigue also swept over him!

Only then did he realize that having been obsessed with crafting Talismans just now, his Sea of Consciousness was currently a blank void, and the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea was nearly exhausted.

He immediately sat cross-legged to concentrate and recover! Chen Qingyuan gave a helpless, bitter smile!

"What a pity... whether it's the strength of my Divine Soul or my spiritual power, both are too weak!"

With his current Qi Refining Fifth Layer magic power and Divine Soul, drawing twelve Talismans in a day was already his limit.

If he truly wanted to rely on Talisman crafting to assist his immortal path, there was still a long way to go.

But when Chen Qingyuan woke up again, it was already the next morning!

Regardless of anything else, resting after finishing drawing Talismans was truly sweet!

"Creak!"

He pushed open the bedroom door. The morning light was faint, and the mental energy and spiritual power consumed by yesterday's Talisman crafting had been fully restored; he felt refreshed and clear-headed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

And in the open space of the courtyard!

Chen Green Mountain was holding the heavy gold saber, practicing his saber techniques Move by Move.

Cleave! Hack! Lift! Sweep! Parry...

The basic saber forms had been tempered in his hands to the point of being almost instinctive, smooth and flowing, showing no sign at all that his injuries had not yet fully healed!

As expected of a Body Cultivator! His injuries recovered much faster than anticipated!

As for the Monster Hunting Team, Captain Wu Kui was busy taking over the Luzhou Mountain Spiritual Vein, so there were no hunting missions in the near future.

And Big Tooth Dong, having obtained a large sum of Spirit Stones, was in seclusion to heal his injuries while also preparing to charge toward the Late Stage Qi Refining!

For a time, Chen Green Mountain actually became the most "idle" person.

This energy, with nowhere to vent, was entirely poured into this day-after-day saber practice.

Chen Qingyuan leaned against the door and watched quietly, full of admiration for his elder brother's saber techniques.

But after watching for a long time, he always felt something was lacking—Chen Green Mountain's saber techniques were entirely formed from his own insights and polishing through countless life-and-death battles,

Though practical and fierce, they lacked a systematic Legacy to serve as a guide.

Even though the Moves were familiar, he couldn't completely unleash his Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivation!

"Brother's talent in the Dao of the saber is truly top-tier! It can't be wasted like this..."

Chen Qingyuan thought to himself, "It seems I must find a proper saber technique Legacy as soon as possible!"

Just then, Chen Green Mountain finished a set of saber techniques, sheathed his blade, and stood still, his breath long and even, with light sweat on his forehead.

He turned his head to look at Chen Qingyuan, revealing a hearty smile!

"You're awake? Last night I saw you sleeping so soundly after you finished drawing Talismans that I didn't disturb you. You must be starving, right?

I specifically had your sister-in-law steam the big meat buns you love most! They're filled with Spirit Beast meat, more than enough for you!"

"That's great!"

Inside the house, the aroma of meat was everywhere.

The soft, large buns, paired with thick spiritual rice porridge and a few dishes of refreshing side vegetables, gave Chen Qingyuan a great appetite!

Xiao Yanchuan held a bun larger than his face, intermittently mumbling a sentence, "He... llo... Un... cle..."

His appearance was endearingly naive!

Chen Qingyuan couldn't help but reach out and gently press the bulging cheek!

Only then did he pick up a meat bun, take a bite, and the fragrance filled his mouth!

The natural aroma of Spirit Beast meat was countless times better than Mortal meat!

After eating!

"Brother,"

Chen Qingyuan put down his chopsticks, his tone serious!

"Watching you practice the saber, I always feel... like something is missing."

Upon hearing this, Chen Green Mountain immediately put down his rice porridge. "Oh? What's missing?"

"Your saber techniques were forged in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood; they are peerlessly fierce, there's no doubt about that!"

"But they lack refinement and are not systematic! You can't fully bring out your own strength!

If you had a suitable Cultivation Technique to guide you, Brother, your strength would surely reach a higher level!"

Chen Green Mountain was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile!

"A saber technique Legacy... is easier said than done. Good Legacies are all monopolized by large Sects and large Families; even if one occasionally circulates in the market, it's at an astronomical price, and it might not necessarily suit me."

How could he not know his own shortcomings? It was just that the reality was as such, and he could only sigh in vain!

This was the truth, and Chen Qingyuan also nodded helplessly!

"We'll find a way for the Legacy matter slowly. Right now, there is another major matter concerning the Chen Family Foundation that I want to discuss with you, Brother."

"Oh? What matter?"

"Brother, do you remember... our clansmen scattered in the Mortal world?"

"Back then, besides the three of us who possessed Spiritual Roots, Father also sired many children who did not have them.

Although they were destined to have no connection with the immortal path, after these thirty or forty years of growth and multiplication, they have spread out in various places in the Mortal world. Calculating it... there should be one or two generations of people by now!"

Mentioning the Mortal clansmen, a trace of complexity flashed in Chen Green Mountain's eyes.

During that great upheaval more than three years ago, the Chen Family collapsed and the followers scattered; the Cultivators of the main branch either died or fled,

And the dependent Mortal clansmen, in order to avoid the disaster, traveled far from home one after another, hiding their names, and almost all contact between them was severed.

"Sigh... how could I not remember."

Chen Green Mountain gave a sigh!

"It's just that when the great disaster struck back then, we could hardly take care of ourselves... I don't know where they ended up or how they are doing... Now that you mention it, could it be that you, Xiao Yuan, have an idea?"

"Exactly!"

"The Zhang Family is already destroyed, and the external threat is temporarily removed! Although the road ahead may not be smooth, we two brothers have finally earned a moment of respite in this immortal cultivation world!"

"It's time... to consider reassembling our Chen Family Bloodline!"

Hearing this, Chen Green Mountain's brow furrowed slightly, showing a bit of hesitation!

"Starting now? Isn't it too hasty? You and I don't even have a Spiritual Vein to establish ourselves yet. If we take in many clansmen now, will it draw unwanted attention and instead become a burden?"

Chen Qingyuan slowly shook his head!

"There's a way to do it for now; we don't need to make a big show of it!"

"Find a place to gather the Mortals to settle down, so it's convenient for us to look after them. At the same time, test for Spiritual Roots; for any Disciples who have Spiritual Roots, cultivating them should be done sooner rather than later!"

"Otherwise, those pieces of unpolished jade who should have stepped onto the immortal path! Just because there was no one to guide them and no path to find,

They would only be reduced to the Mortal dust, living a mediocre life and eventually turning into a handful of yellow earth. This would be a massive loss for our Chen Family, and even more so a regret for the immortal path!"
