89: Chapter 89 Chen Lingyang

One month later, Wuyue Mountain.

The members of the Chen Family began to bustle about. The entire Wuyue Mountain was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, and the Chen Family members who were away all returned.

Although Chen Changqing and Li Qingling hoped their wedding would be simple, since both of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the Family attached great importance to it.

Qingyang Mountain specially sent a few clan members to deliver gifts, among whom Li Qingying also came to attend the ceremony, along with several of Li Qingling's Senior Sisters from the Yuxu Sect. Other than them, there was no one else.

Sitting in the primary seats were Chen Yuanzhan and Li Chenghui.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth, bow to the high hall, bow to each other, the ceremony is concluded, send them to the bridal chamber."

After the whole process was completed, the female relatives of the Chen Family escorted Li Qingling into the bridal chamber.

Chen Changqing only glanced at Li Qingling, who was dressed in a red bridal gown, and then went to entertain the guests.

When night approached, the two entered the bridal chamber.

...

Autumn went and winter came, a year passed.

Chen Changqing sat inside his Immortal Cave, sensing the mana within his body. Over the past year, his mana had improved significantly. At the same time, not only could he refine Tier 2 High Grade Talismans, but his success rate in Talisman-making had also reached sixty percent.

Among them, ordinary quality accounted for forty percent, and fine quality accounted for twenty percent.

His Physical Body still hadn't made much progress, lingering at Tier 2 Low Grade. If he didn't have the dao bead to absorb the blood qi of Yao Beasts to strengthen himself, relying solely on cultivating the Cangtian Transforming Dragon Art, it would truly be very difficult to continue walking this path.

It's just that he didn't have much time now, coupled with the beast tide from previous years, even if he went to the Wanshou Mountain Range now, it would be very difficult to encounter Yao Beasts. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about going deep into the Wanshou Mountain Range, but rather that going deep into the Wanshou Mountain Range right now would easily lead to encountering Tier 3 Yao Beasts.

Chen Changqing looked at the room where only he remained. Half a year ago, Li Qingling had returned to the Yuxu Sect to continue cultivating. Although the two of them had worked hard for more than half a year, the higher the Realm of an immortal Cultivator, the greater the difficulty of giving birth to offspring. However, the offspring born generally had better talent, especially since Chen Changqing himself was a Three Spiritual Roots holder, while Li Qingling was a Dual Spiritual Roots holder.

Now six years had passed since the beast tide. In these six years, the entire Dayan had become much quieter, and many forces seized the opportunity to rapidly develop their own influence, and the Chen Family was no exception.

Now the members of the Chen Family had exceeded one hundred, a portion of whom were of outside clans. They grew up in the Chen Family since childhood and were willing to change their surname to Chen, which was also one of the main reasons the Chen Family was willing to accept them.

This kind of behavior by the Chen Family was not uncommon among various forces, except that these people would not enter the generation-ranking of the Chen Family. Among them, if anyone made a great contribution, there was still a chance to enter the Chen Family's genealogy.

Back then, a score of people from the Chen Family migrated here to develop. Six years had passed, and several more clan members had been added. Now Wuyue Mountain had reached thirty Cultivators.

Most of the Chang-generation had already become the backbone, while the Ling-generation was just starting out.

Chen Changqing looked at some of the Ling-generation clan members, feeling quite nostalgic about the past.

Especially one of them named Chen Lingyang. Although he had Four Spiritual Roots, he quite possessed the unyielding temperament of Chen Xuanyi and Chen Changyue back then.

He was now nineteen years old, and his cultivation had reached the Perfection of the sixth layer of Qi Refining, instantly becoming the number one person among the Ling-generation.

Moreover, he was also a member of the Family caravan, responsible for escorting the caravan on every mission.

Chen Changqing didn't think anymore and returned to the Immortal Cave to continue cultivating.

Meanwhile, Chen Lingyang sat upright on a futon, unaware of the Seventh Uncle's gaze just now.

He was currently trying to break through the Bottleneck. With each inhalation and exhalation, countless fire Spiritual Qi in heaven and earth gathered towards him.

After a while, he sighed.

"As expected, it still doesn't work. Blindly cultivating hard is simply unable to break through the Bottleneck. I still have to go out and temper myself through practical experience."

He had been stuck at the Perfection of the sixth layer of Qi Refining for a full half year. In these six months, he had tried to break through several times, and failed in the end.

Helplessly, he had no choice but to choose to go out for experiential training. Being in the caravan before couldn't really be considered training, because the caravan rarely had accidents, not to mention that the number of Yao Beasts in Dayan had plummeted, and at most he would occasionally encounter some rogue Cultivators.

Having made up his mind, he informed his clan members, then packed his things and went down the mountain.

...

Puff!

Chen Lingyang casually struck with a sword and beheaded a human-faced spider.

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Chen."

A bewitching woman walked forward, looking at Chen Lingyang with a charming expression, and was about to reach out to wrap her arms around Chen Lingyang's arm.

Chen Lingyang simply dodged forward, putting some distance between himself and the charming woman, and frowned as he said, "Fellow Daoist Su, please exercise self-respect."

Su Yu merely smiled at the corners of her mouth, not minding Chen Lingyang's disgust, nor feeling awkward.

The man in front of her was a member of the Foundation Establishment Chen Family. If she could climb high and attach herself to him, not to mention cultivating to the Foundation Establishment Stage in the future, the Late Qi Refining Stage would be within easy reach.

As an ordinary Loose Cultivator, she knew all too well how precious cultivation resources were, and she also knew the cruelty of the cultivation world. Although she had Four Spiritual Roots, at thirty-something years of age, she had only reached the fourth layer of Qi Refining, a gap of a full two levels of cultivation compared to the man in front of her, and as for combat power, the gap was even more immense.

It is no exaggeration to say that ten of her probably couldn't withstand ten swords from him.

On the other hand, Chen Lingyang didn't care about the other party's thoughts. He had simply run to Sunset Valley to hunt Yao Beasts and temper his Bottleneck through life-and-death battle. He didn't care at all about such matters of romantic affection.

As Chen Lingyang continued forward, Su Yu followed closely behind. The two of them were not traveling together as companions; it was just that Chen Lingyang happened to effortlessly slay the Yao Beasts besieging Su Yu.

For the next few days, Su Yu stayed by Chen Lingyang's side. At first, he found Su Yu very annoying, but then he discovered that Su Yu was exceptionally familiar with Sunset Valley, and she also understood quite a bit of pharmacology.

During this period, he encountered a Spirit Medicine that resembled a blade of grass. He couldn't recognize it at the time, and it was Su Yu who cleared up his doubts from the side, which made Chen Lingyang look at her with newfound respect.

Of course, he himself also conceived the idea of recruiting Su Yu into the clan. Within the Family, there were indeed a small number of outsiders working for the Family. Although these Cultivators did not change their surnames, they all possessed unique skills.

And Su Yu was clearly such a person. As long as she was willing to return to the Chen Family with him and work diligently for the Family, the Family would not treat her unfairly, and it wouldn't even be impossible to help her Cultivate to the Late Qi Refining Stage.

Therefore, during this period of time, he had been testing Su Yu's character. Although the Chen Family recruited these outside-surname Cultivators, they didn't accept all of them. Generally, there were certain requirements for their character, unless the benefits the other party could provide were large enough. Otherwise, the Chen Family would definitely not recruit a Cultivator with bad character and heinous cruelty into the Family, because recruiting such a person into the Family, who knows what kind of trouble it might bring to the Chen Family.

These days, he found that Su Yu was only somewhat bold and open, and there was nothing else worth paying attention to.

However, he still had to observe for a few days. If it was truly permissible, he would invite Su Yu to join the Chen Family. But before that, he still had to investigate Su Yu's background.

Regarding this matter, he had already sent a message back to the Family yesterday, requesting the Family to investigate the specific background of this person, and there should be some clues in the next few days.
