Chapter 96: Chapter 84: The Chen Family? The Ever-Growing Power of Buddhism!_1
The next day, at dawn.
The sky was still a dim grey.
The air around still carried a slight scent of earth.
Luo Yong had already arrived early in the courtyard where Patriarch Changfeng resided.
“Awake?”
Underneath the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng, holding a copy of “Introduction to Alchemy,”
glanced at Luo Yong beside him and asked in a low voice.
“Patriarch Changfeng, I woke up about half an hour ago…”
Luo Changfeng nodded silently and asked in a low voice, “How do you feel now?”
After thinking for a bit, Luo Yong replied, “Aside from feeling extremely weak and having some difficulty controlling my strength, everything else seems fine…”
“Is that so?”
Upon hearing Luo Yong’s words, Luo Changfeng nodded again.
The symptoms were not far off from what he had anticipated.
“Using the Mirror-Breaking Elixir to break through in your cultivation always comes with some side effects.”
“But fortunately, the Mirror-Breaking Elixir you took.”
“Its side effects will only leave you weak for about ten days to half a month.”
“I suppose it’s a case of the gains far outweighing the sacrifices! ”
“Alright, you should rest here at the clan’s land for half a month, and once your strength has recovered, you can return to the military camp…”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yong said in a low voice, “Yes, Patriarch Changfeng.”
…
A moment later, Luo Yong left.
As the figure of Luo Yong gradually disappeared from Luo Changfeng’s sight,
this courtyard, exuding a sense of ancient charm,
was left with only Luo Changfeng himself.
“With another Viscera Refinement, the strength of our Luo Family has indeed seen a significant surge…”
Luo Changfeng thought to himself.
What made him rather relieved
was that with the addition of another Viscera Refinement,
at the very least, if he were to leave the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
his family would not face the threat of annihilation at the hands of any enemy they encountered.
“It’s this Mirror-Breaking Elixir…”
“Could its success rate be raised just a little?”
“About one success in a hundred attempts, isn’t that success rate a bit too low?”
…
The scene shifts.
Soon, we arrive at Chen Family Ancestral Land within Huai Shui County, the most profound and mysterious clan of the region.
Chen Family Ancestral Land is situated in a county town called Tongmu, within Huai Shui County.
Tongmu County Town boasts nearly a million permanent inhabitants and around two hundred thousand transient.
Its level of prosperity is no less than that of Tang Family City, or even the county city where the King of Huai Shui resides.
Usually, the members of the Chen Family are just in their clan land,
diligently cultivating or dealing with various matters.
But today’s Chen Family seems somewhat different from usual days.
“What time is it?”
At the main entrance of the Chen Family Ancestral Land, the current Family Head Chen Yisheng, dressed in magnificent robes,
was silently standing with his hands clasped behind his back,
quietly waiting there.
“Family Head, it is now noon…”
Next to Chen Yisheng, an old servant with a slightly stooped back answered softly.
“Noon already?”
Chen Yisheng slightly lifted his head to look at the intense sun above and feel the slightly scorching sunlight.
He couldn’t help but squint subtly.
A flash of longing crossed his eyes.
“If it’s already noon, why hasn’t Wan Liang returned yet?”
…
At the entrance of the Chen Family Ancestral Land.
Just as the feelings of longing in Family Head Chen Yisheng were cresting,
a young man in a blue garment, who looked both familiar and strange, appeared in the sight of everyone at the Chen Family.
“Returned?”
It was only when the young man approached the main gate of the Chen Family Ancestral Land that
Chen Yisheng, as the current head of the Chen Family, asked his son Chen Wanliang, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, in a low voice.
“Yes, I’m back.”
Chen Wanliang nodded slightly and carelessly tossed the package he was carrying to the servant beside him.
Then he walked into the Chen Family Ancestral Land without waiting for a response.
“How have things been at the Sect in these past years?”
Chen Yisheng glanced at his son and suddenly asked.
Chen Wanliang nodded in response, “Not bad…”
“Not bad?” When Chen Yisheng heard this, he glanced at the weariness hidden in his son’s eyes and sighed softly.
But he did not continue to inquire further.
The Sect is a place for Immortal Cultivators.
Competition within a Sect is often quite fierce.
Not everyone is capable of even becoming a nominal disciple.
Of course, being a nominal disciple of a branch within a Sect like Wan Dan Sect naturally does not count.
“Not having returned home for many years, it seems there have been significant changes within the clan…”
As Chen Wanliang walked into the Chen Family Clan Land, looking around, he remarked.
“Not just the clan that has undergone significant changes,” Chen Yisheng observed his son for a moment, then after collecting his thoughts, continued, “compared to us, the Chen Family of Huai Shui County, the changes within the Da Feng Dynasty in recent years have been even greater, with even the old emperor passing away and a New Emperor ascending the throne…”
“Some powerful princes have returned to their domains following the ascension of the new ruler,
discretely measuring their strength against that of the New Emperor.”
“Those powerful princes seem quite dissatisfied with the choices of the old emperor…”
Chen Wanliang nodded in agreement, “As expected.”
Although he had spent most of his time in closed-door cultivation within the Sect, Chen Wanliang was not entirely ignorant of the affairs within the Da Feng Dynasty.
