Soon, a pot of spiritual rice was cooked.

Chen Jingan took the prepared small bowl and scooped half a bowl for each of his two sons.

He grabbed a handful of uncooked spiritual rice grains and scattered them aside, letting the red fairy eagle peck at them like a chicken.

He ate a bowl of the remaining spiritual rice himself to taste it.

Because he had reached the sixth level of Qi training.

The spiritual energy provided by the spiritual rice alone would not have much effect.

Instead of wasting spiritual stones on this, it would be better to save them in hand and buy them together when he went to Yunwu Market next time, and bring back some cultivation resources that he could use.

At his grandfather's place.

The old man was trying to reach the ninth level of Qi training recently, and he was embarrassed to bother him to make pills.

This made Chen Jingan have the urge to learn to make pills.

However, after experiencing the blessing of "Danqing Genius" in person, Chen Jingan gave up the idea.

Let's talk about a more exaggerated example.

His second cousin "Chen Jingyang", with the guidance of Master Huang Fu from time to time, spent five years to draw a talisman that can carry spiritual power, and was already regarded as the successor.

On the other hand, he started from a blind man's elephant.

It took only half a year to catch up with the results of his second cousin in five years.

The gap is not just as simple as ten times the speed.

If there is such a huge gap between the genius of alchemy and ordinary people.

Then his so-called early start is also a waste of time.

So, Chen Jingan chose to settle for the second best.

Since alchemy can speed up the progress of cultivation through "Gathering Spirit Pill", then he can look for talismans with similar effects in the way of talismans.

Coincidentally, there is such a first-level talisman in the talisman inheritance obtained by the family.

"Spirit Enhancement Talisman"

It is said that as long as the Spirit Enhancement Talisman is attached to the body, the speed of spiritual power absorption in the body can be accelerated, which is a disguised way to increase the speed of cultivation.

Breakthrough from the sixth level of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training.

This is divided into two steps.

First, it is necessary to accumulate spiritual power step by step to perfection.

Second, break through the barriers.

The most troublesome part is undoubtedly the second step of breaking through the barriers, which is also known as the bottleneck of the Qi training realm.

His second uncle stayed at this bottleneck for a full fifteen years.

Whether it is four spiritual roots or five spiritual roots, there is not much advantage in facing this bottleneck.

Therefore, Chen Jingan planned to use external objects from the beginning.

For example, saving spirit stones to buy a "Dragon Scale Fruit", this kind of spirit fruit can directly help break through the barriers, but the price of a "Dragon Scale Fruit" is 50 spirit stones.

After paying off the debts owed by the clan, Chen Jingan now has 15 spirit stones left in his current funds.

To make up the rest, he can only hope that the "Wolf Demon" is high enough.

Or, take some bounty commissions from the Demon Suppression Department.

After all, he made a lot of money from the blood demon cultivator.

It is undeniable that the speed of earning spirit stones from farming is not as fast as killing people and stealing treasures.

But if you walk along the river, you will get your feet wet.

Chen Jingan coveted the magic stone of the demon cultivator, but he would not joke with his life.

At least... before the wooden fish magic weapon was upgraded to a medium-grade magic weapon, he did not plan to fight the demon cultivator again.

Farming may be poor, but at least you will not die.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

Chen Qishan was still in seclusion to break through, and was unable to attend the family annual meeting.

So this year's spiritual root detection work was jointly hosted by him and his second uncle.

Chen Jingan, as the third master of the family, sat on the left and right with his second uncle at the top.

The remaining uncles went down and sat in order.

Then, it was their cousins ​​of the same generation.

After everyone arrived, it was the turn of the third uncle "Chen Yaohui" to be in charge of the matter this year.

Their third house was the only one among the six branches of the second generation without spiritual roots.

Starting from Uncle San, every male in the Third House has three wives and four concubines, and the number of newborns each year is more than that of the other houses combined.

Uncle San hosted the annual meeting for the first time.

He took out a family tree and began to read out the names according to the names on it.

"First House, Chen Qingshu, Chen Qingqi."

"Second House, no."

When it came to the Third House, Uncle San's face flashed a bit of complacency.

Then it was like announcing the names of dishes: "Chen Jinglai, Chen Jingtui, Chen Qing..."

He called out six names in a row, two of which were even from the "Jing" generation, the same generation as Chen Jing'an.

There is no doubt that these two are Uncle San's children.

He is over fifty this year, and he still has such energy, which is really rare.

Uncle Chen even teased: "Fourth, Fifth, you two are still young, learn from the Third, and contribute more to the family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone below burst into laughter.

However, Old Man Chen and Uncle Chen Wu did not say anything, and the brothers from the fourth and fifth rooms behind them also remained silent, as if they had not heard these words at all.

Chen Jingan saw it clearly on the stage, and heard the second uncle sighing beside him.

There is no doubt.

The accumulated contradictions between the first and third rooms were actually hidden under these smiles.

The old man has always been in charge of major matters.

As the oldest of the brothers.

The first uncle is responsible for mortals, while the second uncle is responsible for immortals.

The eldest uncle’s management not only controls the hereditary official position of the main family, but also includes the power to allocate money and food to each branch.

The third branch has had many descendants in the past few decades, so the money and food allocated to them has always been several times that of other branches.

But even so, the third branch still has not enough to spend.

After all, they are also descendants of the Chen family. Although they have many children, they should not be treated less as the young ladies and young masters of the Chen family.

This spending is naturally like water.

Therefore, Uncle Chen San asked Uncle Chen for money many times, and finally At first, both sides could still maintain a superficial harmony, but as the number of times increased, the number of conflicts increased.

After all, it is true that your family has many descendants.

But with so many people, there is not a single descendant with spiritual roots. To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of useless people who eat nothing.

But Uncle Chen San also has his own reasons.

He is so conscientious, and he still shows off his sword at an old age. Isn't this a contribution to the family?

The eldest brother deliberately did not allocate money and food to the third branch because he was afraid that the third branch would emerge and snatch the power of your first branch in the future!

The fourth branch and the fifth branch are in the same situation. Stick together.

How smart is old man Chen?

How could he get involved in such a conflict that is bound to offend people?

Both sides have their own reasons, and it is impossible to explain why.

Soon, when the children of the right age came to the front of the stage.

Chen Qingwang looked at the old man above and winked at him playfully.

Chen Jingan nodded, and then winked back openly.

The second uncle on the side saw that the father and son were having a great time interacting, and coughed lightly.

"Jingan, let me test Qingwang. You are responsible for the other group."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, second uncle. "

Chen Jing'an certainly knew the principle of "avoiding suspicion". Leaving it to his second uncle would also stop those doubting voices.

Coincidentally, the two younger cousins ​​from his third uncle's family were both here.

Chen Jing'an actually hoped that the third house would produce a spiritual root.

In this way, at least they could reduce their obsession with offspring, and at the same time, they could ease the relationship between the first and third houses.

However, things did not go as planned.

Chen Jing'an had handled two "Jing" generations, and the second uncle next door had also checked the other "Qing" generations from the third house.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, with regret in their eyes.
