114: A treasure for body training, and the father-in-law comes to visit!
As soon as Chen Changsheng finished speaking, the impatient Chuanwen couldn't help but pick up a piece of fish meat with his chopsticks and chew it in his mouth.
"Wow, this taste is amazing!"
Chuanwu frowned, glared at Chuanjie, and said crossly:
"Dad hasn't even started the meal yet, and you're rushing to eat. How disrespectful!"
Chen Changsheng laughed heartily and quickly beckoned his three sons, saying with a smile:
"Everyone, try it. The flavor won't be as good once it gets cold!"
Hearing Chen Changsheng's invitation, Chuanwu and Chuanwen each took a bite with their chopsticks and began to taste it.
"Delicious!"
Chuanwu, not being very educated, used the simplest language to describe his feelings, while Chuanwen closed his eyes and savored it carefully before speaking:
"The fish meat is sweet with a fragrant aftertaste; it makes one's mouth water and leaves a lasting impression!"
The Black Carp Spirit Fish received unanimous praise from the Chen Family, and everyone feasted heartily, quickly finishing it all.
"Dad, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, don't you feel really comfortable? It's like a warm current is flowing in my stomach, just like having a hot bath. My whole body feels much more relaxed!"
Chuanjie rubbed his belly and lay on a large bluestone, speaking with a look of contentment.
"Dad, Third Brother is right. It seems this Black Carp Spirit Fish has a body-nourishing effect. I just meditated and performed internal inspection; the hidden injuries left in my body from previous martial arts practice have improved significantly!"
Chen Chuanwen told Chen Changsheng about his feelings with a look of surprise. One must know that hidden injuries often occur at the ends of the Meridians and are generally incurable by medicine; they can only be nurtured with one's own mana. This method is time-consuming, and if not resolved, it increases the chance of failure when breaking through a bottleneck!
"Not only that, Dad. I just circulated the 'Firm Rock Golden Body Art' and found that the speed was a bit faster and the circulation more fluid. I am certain this fish can increase Physical Body potential; it is definitely a treasure for Body Tempering Cultivators!"
Chen Chuanwu's eyes flashed with excitement as he grabbed Chen Changsheng's arm and said.
"So this Black Carp Spirit Fish has the effect of nourishing Physical Body potential and eliminating hidden injuries. This fish is indeed a treasure for Body Tempering Cultivators!"
Chen Changsheng looked at the Black Carp Spirit Fish, now reduced to bones, his eyes shining. He quickly looked at Chen Chuanwen and said:
"Second Son, how did you catch this black carp? Hurry and catch two more!"
"Our Family's future Body Tempering Cultivators will finally have auxiliary cultivation resources. In the future, when we are stronger, this Black Carp Spirit Fish could even become a specialty of our Chen Family, providing us with a steady stream of various resources!"
As Chen Changsheng finished speaking, Chuanjie also understood the benefits of the spirit fish and hurriedly urged Chuanwen to tell him how to catch them.
"Alright, actually catching spirit fish is quite simple. I cut a small piece of python meat to use as bait. I thought that since the python contained Spiritual Qi, it would definitely attract big fish, but I didn't expect to lure out a spirit fish!"
Annoyed by the third brother's nagging, Chuanwen revealed his method for catching the spirit fish.
"So that's how it is! Come on, Eldest Brother, let's go catch spirit fish too!"
Chen Chuanjie, with a smile on his face, pulled Chen Chuanwu along with great enthusiasm to cut the Demon Snake's meat, preparing to go fishing for spirit fish.
"Once you catch them, don't eat them yet. Let's see if we can farm this Black Carp Spirit Fish and make it an exclusive cultivation resource for our Chen Family!"
Fearing Chuanjie's gluttony, Chen Changsheng quickly chased after them to give a few instructions.
"Dad, I'm going back to arrange the business and bring Mom and my sisters-in-law up here!"
After all, Chuanwen was the most thoughtful; his mind was occupied with the Family's affairs, and he didn't want to spend too much time playing.
"Mhm, go ahead. And bring Brother Du Yong up the mountain as well!"
Chen Changsheng nodded with a smile. At critical moments, the second son was still the most reliable, always thinking about the Family's work.
Chen Chuanjie nodded and walked down from the mountain.
After everyone left, Chen Changsheng walked to the bottomless Jade Dragon Pool and fell into thought.
As the saying goes, a Phoenix does not perch on land without treasure!
The same goes for these spiritual things of heaven and earth; the places where they are born either have Spiritual Veins or hidden treasures!
"It seems we all underestimated Jade Dragon Peak. There must be treasures here; it's just that our Chen Family hasn't discovered them yet!"
Chen Changsheng murmured with a smile. He hadn't expected that while he only wanted to find a place for seclusion, he ended up finding a treasure land.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but recall his Family treasury; he still had a [Spirit-Seeking Compass (Yellow Grade)] that he hadn't redeemed.
It could search for Spiritual Vein nodes below the Yellow Grade within a thousand-mile radius to find places with Spiritual Veins.
If there truly are Meridians on Jade Dragon Peak, then in a year, when Chen Changsheng's two Grandsons are born and he saves enough Lifespan to redeem the [Spirit-Seeking Compass], the Meridians here will definitely not escape Chen Changsheng's Dharma Eye!
As Chen Changsheng pondered, he grew excited. He truly hoped his two Grandsons would be born as soon as possible!

Down the mountain, Chen Chuanwen gathered some of the people in charge of the Chen Family's businesses and released the news about promoting management.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion. They knew that becoming a Shopkeeper would not only increase their salary but also grant them a degree of control over the Chen Family's business, which would greatly enhance their status.
Many who felt they had the seniority came to Chen Chuanwen to ask for information.
In the end, Chen Chuanwen handed over the War Horse Slope tea fields to Double Happiness. After all, Double Happiness was a relative of the Chen Family. Of course, retired friends from the Black Ice Platform were also stationed there.
Double Happiness wept with joy and vowed to serve the Chen Family well.
As for the liquor brewing, it was given to a relative of his mother Li Yilian, Li Sanshi. He was an honest man and tight-lipped, so he likely wouldn't leak the secret recipe for the brewing.
For the remaining liquor shops and tea sales, Chen Changsheng directly selected those with the best performance to be Shopkeepers. This was based on ability: those who did well were promoted, and those who didn't were demoted.
After a day's work, the Family business was finally settled. The people working for the Chen Family also felt that this promotion was fair. Moreover, the Chen Family provided a path for advancement; those who did well could become Shopkeepers. Consequently, they worked even harder!
Having finished with the business matters, Chen Chuanwen went home, planning to take his mother and sisters-in-law to Jade Dragon Peak.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home and opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man with graying hair and simple clothes, yet possessing a majestic aura, sitting at the table sipping tea.
"Are you the second son of the Chen Family, Chen Chuanwen?"
Chen Changsheng had not yet spoken when he was stumped by this middle-aged man's question!
Seeing the other's critical and scrutinizing gaze, Chen Chuanwen frowned slightly. This was his own home, yet this middle-aged man was acting like the master of the house.
"I am indeed Chen Chuanwen. May I ask who Your Excellency is?"
Fortunately, Chen Chuanwen was quite sophisticated and did not express his dissatisfaction directly; instead, he asked politely.
Seeing that Chuanwen responded appropriately, the scrutiny in the middle-aged man's eyes lessened slightly, but he still spoke crossly.
"My name is Ma Zhiwen, and I am Xiao Wen's father!"
Ah!
Chen Chuanwen felt a shock in his heart and was somewhat at a loss!
Oh no, I made off with his daughter, and now her father has come knocking. What should I do? Waiting for advice online, it's urgent!
