Immortal Cultivation Family: Start By Accepting Dao Companions

Chen Feng greeted the newcomer with a friendly gesture.

"Fellow Daoist, I need some Law Weapons and some items that can enhance..."

The shopkeeper of Myriad Treasures Trading Firm smiled faintly and said, "Understood. Fellow Daoist, please go to the inner hall first, I will fetch them for you."

After a moment, the shopkeeper came back with a storage bag.

"Here are some basic Law Weapons, three low-grade long swords and two low-grade broadswords."

Then, he took out two boxes and opened one of them, saying, "These are Thunder Spirit Talismans, with the power equivalent to a full-force strike from a Qi Refining Ninth Stage cultivator."

"And this," he said, opening another box.

"This is the Exploding Spirit Pill, with an extremely wide explosion range. Even a Qi Refining Eighth Stage cultivator at the center of the explosion will be reduced to ashes."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "These are good, but I want to know if you have any poison or anything with a stronger toxicity."

"Well... of course we do." The shopkeeper hesitated and glanced at Chen Feng before taking out several small bottles from behind him.

"These are Spider Devouring Poison. Once poisoned, even Foundation Building cultivators can be affected, not to mention those below Foundation Building."

Chen Feng nodded in response. "How much for these?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "For the five low-grade Law Weapons, it will be 2000 low-grade spirit stones, Fellow Daoist Chen. After all, you are a valued customer of our trading firm."

Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged, prompting the shopkeeper to continue.

"For the Thunder Spirit Talismans and Exploding Spirit Pill, it will be a total of 1200 low-grade spirit stones. As for the poisons, let's say 200 low-grade spirit stones. In total, it will be 3400 low-grade spirit stones. How does that sound?"

As Chen Feng looked at the shopkeeper's smug smile, his mouth twitched.

Greed is a characteristic of merchants, and Chen Feng was not entirely satisfied with the price.

3400 low-grade spirit stones was more than the annual income of the Chen family, even after deducting expenses, leaving only one-third of the savings. It was worth noting that this achievement was made after the Chen family's aggressive expansion and the absorption of large households like the Zhou family.

Before absorbing the Zhou family, the annual income was halved.

Purchasing these items would require more than five years' worth of the family's income.

Spirit stones were truly not easy to come by. If it weren't for some windfall gains, they wouldn't be so extravagant.

Chen Feng calmly said, "If the shopkeeper wants to do long-term business with me, let's make it an even 3000 low-grade spirit stones."

The value of a low-grade Law Weapon was indeed between four to five hundred spirit stones.

However, consumable items like talismans had fluctuating values, and it wouldn't hurt to haggle a bit.

The shopkeeper hesitated, his face showing a troubled expression.

Chen Feng continued, "In the future, there will be many areas where the shopkeeper and I can cooperate."

After weighing the pros and cons, the shopkeeper of Myriad Treasures Trading Firm gritted his teeth and agreed.

After all, he had seen the development of the Chen family and knew its potential. He was willing to establish this good relationship.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, in the future, please prioritize me when doing business or purchasing items."

"Of course." Chen Feng smiled and nodded, then handed over the payment before leaving the market.

After leaving the market, Chen Feng found a restaurant and sat down, contemplating the bustling city and deep in thought.

The scale of his family had gradually expanded, and the population had increased accordingly, resulting in increased consumption of resources.

Even with an annual income of a terrifying two thousand low-grade spirit stones, only one-third could be saved.

If the family's population doubled in the future, what then?

Currently, the family's savings amounted to just over thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, and that was after the recent acquisitions.

Thirty thousand might seem like a lot, but in reality, it would only cover expenses for a little over ten years.

Moreover, the Chen family's industry in Origin Spirit County was scarce.

The reason was that almost all the industries here belonged to Foundation Building families, making it difficult for outsiders to get a piece of the pie.

However, entering Origin Spirit County is only a matter of time.

After returning to the family, Chen Feng began to arrange the plan to enter the county.

First, he opened a restaurant and introduced three signature dishes: Dongpo pork, squirrel fish with osmanthus, and spirit chicken stewed with mushrooms, which helped him establish a foothold.

Next, a few months later.

Chen Chuling and Chen Yun returned, bringing five children with spiritual roots.

"Churen, you will be in charge of managing these children."

Then, Chen Feng took out two Law Weapons and rewarded them to Chen Chuling and Chen Yun.

In front of the crowd with spiritual roots, he also took out three low-grade Law Weapons.

As long as someone reaches the fifth stage of Qi Refining, they will be rewarded with a Law Weapon, and it will be valid for a long time.

Side quest: Recruit five youths with spiritual roots (completed).

[Reward: 20 years of pure cultivation, 50 inheritance points.]

"Phew." After seeing the reward, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

With 20 years of cultivation, he should be able to reach the tenth stage of Qi Refining.

"Claim the reward."

A familiar feeling surged, and the bottleneck was easily broken through.

In just a moment, the aura of the tenth stage of Qi Refining stabilized.

This means that Chen Feng has completely reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage.

After familiarizing himself with the new level, Chen Feng called Chen Churen.

"Churen, I have broken through to the tenth stage of Qi Refining. From now on, you don't need to worry too much. Go ahead and do what you need to do!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Churen was first shocked, then his face was filled with joy. With his father reaching the tenth stage of Qi Refining, the position of the Chen family would be extremely stable.

"The industry needs to be upgraded. The spiritual fields can be expanded, and we can also start breeding spiritual birds and the like."

"Take this, it can extend your lifespan by ten years." Chen Feng exchanged his remaining inheritance points and handed a Longevity Pill to Chen Churen.

Although Chen Churen has also reached the Grandmaster realm, he is still not beyond the realm of ordinary people.

For now, it seems fine, but after Chen Feng's investigation, his aura is only maintaining its last bit of strength.

After this, he will enter a decline period, as vitality is a mysterious thing.

"Thank you, father!"

Chen Churen's face was filled with excitement as he swallowed the pill in his hand.

After a while, his white hair gradually faded, and the wrinkles on his face decreased.

After arranging some matters and emphasizing the importance of reproduction, Chen Feng left the main hall.

Chen Churen fully supported his father's policy of having multiple offspring with superior genes.

The more people there are, the higher the probability of giving birth to cultivators, and the stronger the Chen family will become.

However, after a year, the Chen Mansion was filled with joy.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for having ten descendants with spiritual roots!]

[Reward: 500 inheritance points, 100 years of cultivation for any skill, 50 years of pure cultivation.]

"Three spiritual roots?!" Chen Feng looked at the babies in the cradle with a hint of surprise on his face.

This is his fourth child with Pei Yinyin, and the first child with spiritual roots after his own spiritual roots were enhanced.

"Could it be because of the increase in strength?"
