Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 29: Secret Fight (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"The Chen family has a lot of surplus food. We can't even afford to eat. The second son of the Chen family, Chen Jing, even mixed spiritual rice into the porridge given to the disaster victims."

"I've seen from afar that the Chen family's spiritual fields haven't been affected at all, and the rice is growing well."

"How could it be? Could it be that the eroding spiritual rain only fell on our family and not on Qingniu Mountain? Or did the Chen family not eat or drink, but tended to the spiritual fields all day long?"

"Even if the Chen family members took care of the spiritual fields all the time, they still couldn't take care of it. Don't forget that a few days ago, each family was called up to join the coalition army. Whose spiritual fields would not be abandoned?"

"During the coalition, the Chen family suffered relatively little damage. The Chen family members had a storage bag full of talismans and magical instruments, and each of them made progress in their cultivation."

"Oh? He's still making progress at his age? Where did the Chen family get the elixirs?"

In the outer city of the prefectural capital, on the shore of Wubo Lake, there stands a three-story teahouse with a plaque inscribed with "Deng Gaolou".

Inside the elegant seat of the Denggao Teahouse, a group of monks were drinking and having fun, and as they talked, they came to talk about the Chen family. Although the Chen family tried to keep a low profile, everyone could sense something was amiss with each other.

There is a saying that poverty will show through your whole body.

We are all poor, so how can we not understand what being poor looks like?

The Chen family members were aware that they did not want to show off their wealth, but unless they did nothing, the incompatible aura of being rich would be revealed if they moved a little.

This made everyone suddenly realize that there was a traitor among us.

"Could it be that some treasure was dug out from Qingniu Mountain?" Someone chuckled, picked up the wine and drank it, but he did not forget to check the expressions of others out of the corner of his eye.

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Some nodded slowly, some looked jealous.

At this time, the brown-shirted man sitting in the corner said, "Brother Jing, your family and the Chen family are one on the mountain and the other at the foot of the mountain. Do you have any idea?"

"What do you have to say? I'm at the foot of the mountain and can't see the top of the mountain." The Jing family shook their heads.

At this time, someone else said, "Hey? Brother Yang, your family is in trouble right now, why not go ask the Chen family? Maybe the Chen family still has some spare money and will be willing to help."

The man surnamed Yang's face darkened and he said, "If you want to test it, go test it yourself. Why are you instigating me, Yang?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became unhappy.

Another boring drinking session.

The man surnamed Yang gave no face to the people present. After drinking a few large bowls of wine, he called the waiter, slapped the change on the table and strode away.

Go outside.

When the autumn wind blows, my originally warm body suddenly feels a little cool.

"That guy is right. My Yang family's old master is seriously injured, and none of his children and grandchildren are up to the task. Once the old master is gone, how can we protect the family business? The Chen family? It's also a good idea."

Thinking of this, Yang Xing hurriedly washed his face by the lake, rinsed his mouth to get rid of the smell of alcohol, and went straight to Chen's Mansion.

He looked around at the door and saw that no one was paying attention, so he quickly went over and knocked on the door, and was immediately led in by the servant.

"Master Chen!" Yang Xing stepped forward when he saw Chen Ding and said earnestly, "The Chen family is in great trouble!"

The polite smile on Chen Ding's face froze immediately, and he said unhappily: "Yang Xing, are you drunk and entered the wrong gate?"

"Yes, it is your Chen family. Let me ask you, your Chen family has had quite a few adventures recently and is very wealthy, is that true or not?"

"Nonsense."

"Brother Chen, I kindly reminded you, but you played tricks on me!" Yang Xing still had that sincere expression on his face, and said seriously: "You don't know, I was drinking in the Denggao Tower, and it happened that Jing Yue from the Jing family, Wang Ruixiang from the Wang family and others were also there..."

He recounted the conversation on the tower with some embellishments.

Then he patted his chest to say, "I, Yang, will not be in the same nest with rats." Then he clasped his fists, left a sentence, saying that he had been informed and would take his leave, and left without looking back.

Chen Ding was stunned for a moment and went up to try to keep him, but he was determined to leave. He also had something on his mind, so he didn't force him to stay.

"It will indeed attract attention. I guess we gave some away when we attacked the coalition forces. Now we insist on mixing spiritual rice into the porridge to let people know that my Chen family is not in financial difficulty." But what can we do?

The family became wealthy, but had to watch their people die on the battlefield?

Or will it delay Chen Jing's practice during his golden age?

Then wouldn’t this wealth be wasted?
"Yang Xing is right. Even though they are just a bunch of rats, they can turn into jackals if they gather together. We must be on guard..."

Chen Ding immediately thought about Yang Xing's purpose.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that although the capital city is large, the families rooted here are very familiar with each other.

The Yang family was originally a small Karami and was not worth mentioning, but the Yang family at that time dared to take a gamble and used all their resources to help one person practice, which actually allowed him to break through the Xuan Seal, making the Yang family one of the strongest families.

But unfortunately, there are only a few worth mentioning people in the four generations after Old Master Yang. They are all poor practitioners who have been stuck in the Soul Condensation Realm for ten years. Their talents are really touching.

The Chen family's spiritual accumulation period is about six or seven years on average, which seems to be only three or four years faster than the Yang family. But you have to know that everyone is spending the same resources. The cost of supporting two useless cultivators is enough to support three normal cultivators, which is directly short of one person.

But the value that a monk can create is different.

All in all, the predicament of the Yang family is the same as that of the Song family before, both of which are suffering from the loss of talented people, but the Song family is in a period of transition due to an accident, while the Yang family is just an old unlucky family who has overdrawn their luck in drawing cards.

"After the death of the old man of the Song family, the fertile fields on Huicui Mountain have all been owned by someone else. The Yang family doesn't want to follow in that footsteps." After Chen Ding figured it out, he considered the pros and cons.

The Yang family is a vassal of the Ying family. Although they are also spiritual plant breeders, they do not grow grains or precious medicines, but purple clay bamboo and other raw materials for talisman paper. The growing environment is completely different from that of spiritual fields and precious medicines, and they do not have much conflict of interest with the Chen family.

In addition, the Yang family is a rare family that is proficient in combat tactics, and their "Ten Wind Controlling Forms" also gained some fame in the past.

Chen Ding was interested in this secret method of cultivation and the things behind it.

"The Yang family has been cultivating spiritual power for generations... I remember that the speed of condensation is extremely fast."

My son has been looking for the spiritual power suitable for condensing the seventh orifice.

The Chen family also had some, but the problem was that the method of gathering spiritual power inherited by the Chen family was too inefficient, so slow that it took years. After Chen Jing learned a little about it, he shook his head and said that he would take it away and not practice it.

During this period of time, Chen Ding has actually been paying attention to things in this area.

exactly.

The Yang family's Feng Lingqiao is famously fast.

So how can we obtain the Yang family’s method of refining spiritual power?
Thinking of this, Chen Ding immediately returned to the backyard, found his wife Liu who was playing with the cat, and turned on his external brain.

After listening to her husband's retelling, Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment.

"The Yang family is now in danger. It would have been fine in the past, but the world is in chaos now. If Old Master Yang can't hold on, the Yang family might be wiped out by the 'robbery cultivator'.

In this situation, Yang Xing should be very anxious, but he still left in a hurry without even telling you in detail. It's because compared to the Yang family, our Chen family may be more dangerous, so Yang Xing thinks that we are the ones who are anxious.

Think about it, what does our Chen family have, and what does the Yang family have? "

Chen Ding said without hesitation: "The Chen family has money, and the Yang family has Old Master Yang who has the strength of the Mysterious Seal."

"Yes." Liu smiled and said, "Yang Xing is waiting for us to ask him for help. Maybe he is already calculating how much food we should take."

"I said he was so kind that he didn't join forces with those jackals and tigers, but came to report the news. It turns out that he wanted to take the lion's share for himself. But even if he took our food, could his Yang family keep it?"

"We always have to have a little more hope. What if, by some chance, we can bet on another Old Master Yang?"

After all, it's all hard work, so it's good enough to have a chance to try. I don't care whether it's reliable or not, it's as if I really have a choice.

Liu continued, "If we want to get the Feng Lingqiao secret method for Jing'er, we need to make Yang Xing's plan fail and let him know that those chickens and dogs can't do anything to us. We, the Chen family, are not in a hurry at all. Then, we will wait for him to come to us for help, and then we can ask for the secret method."

"Hahahaha, ma'am, what you said is absolutely right. It just makes me suddenly enlightened!"

Chen Ding suddenly understood everything, and for a moment, he felt that he was incredibly smart.
