Immortal Cultivation Family: Start By Accepting Dao Companions

How dare I take on such a role?

Of course, I dare to take on any role.

Chen Feng let out a breath and looked at Xia Jiao.

Xia Jiao didn't delve deep into this question and slowly said, "I'm going to South Chu City this time to attend an auction."

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised that it would be such a coincidence.

"Madam Yue, are you going to attend the auction of Myriad Treasures Trading Firm?" Chen Feng asked tentatively, seeing Xia Jiao nodding, Chen Feng frowned.

Carefully sensing Xia Jiao's aura, it was much more elusive than before and even more difficult to grasp.

Chen Feng had a bold guess and directly said, "Madam Yue must have refined the pill eighty-one times, perfecting her cultivation, and is going to bid for the Gathering Peak Pill, right?"

Xia Jiao didn't hide it either and nodded, "That's right."

"Indeed." Chen Feng nodded secretly. In twenty years, it was likely that his shrewd mother-in-law had already perfected her cultivation, only lacking a breakthrough.

And the Gathering Peak Pill was the key pill for breaking through from Foundation Building to Gold Core, increasing the probability of forming a core by nearly fifty percent.

This was the dream of countless Foundation Building cultivators. Without the assistance of pills, breaking through to Gold Core was an extremely dangerous thing.

If one failed to break through to Gold Core, they would at least not die if they had already broken through to Qi Refining.

But breaking through from Foundation Building to Gold Core was different. The three flowers must gather perfectly, and there could be no mistakes in forming the core.

Otherwise, they would become disabled at best, and their souls would scatter at worst.

With the assistance of pills, it would be relatively easier. As long as their aptitude and perseverance were not too poor, they would generally not fail.

Chen Feng thought about the price of the Gathering Peak Pill and furrowed his brows slightly.

It would cost at least a million low-grade spirit stones. Even if the Xia family had occupied the spiritual veins for so long, they couldn't mine that many spirit stones.

After all, at least a first-grade spiritual vein could only produce tens of thousands of spirit stones in a year, and if they mined too much, the spiritual vein would be scrapped.

"So, how many spirit stones have you prepared?" Chen Feng asked Xia Jiao.

For Chen Feng, Xia Jiao breaking through to Gold Core was more beneficial than harmful.

After all, her two daughters were almost in his hands.

Not to mention that there were several nephews as well. Xia Jiao had been very good to them in recent years. After breaking through to Gold Core, she would also revolve around the Chen family.

But the problem was, could Chen Feng control her?

If she turned the tables and forced the Chen family to take the Xia surname, what would happen?

Although the Chen family had developed rapidly in recent years, with nearly a hundred cultivators in the clan, there were three with Foundation Building strength.

This was a terrifying force in the outside world, but for a Gold Core cultivator, they could be easily wiped out with a snap of their fingers.

After thinking for a moment and seeing Xia Jiao not speaking, Chen Feng said, "If there aren't enough spirit stones, I can provide some assistance."

Xia Jiao stared at Chen Feng's eyes as if trying to see something.

After a while, she said, "I have prepared about one million one hundred thousand, which is all my possessions."

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's fine. If it's not enough, I'll cover the rest."

He said this after careful consideration. After all, she was his mother-in-law.

He also had over a million spirit stones in his hands. Even if he didn't make a move, there was a high probability of winning.

Why not do this favor?

Xia Jiao looked deeply at Chen Feng and made a soft "hmm" sound.

Then, she looked at Chen Feng and asked, "What are you going to do in South Chu City? Are you just going to take a look at the so-called prosperity?"

"I'm also going for the auction. I want to buy a third-grade pill cauldron," Chen Feng replied.

"A third-grade pill cauldron?" Madam Xia looked at Chen Feng and sized him up.

"I know you are an alchemist, but with only Foundation Building cultivation, do you really need a third-grade pill cauldron?"

Even Xia Jiao, an outer disciple, knows the distinction of pill cauldrons.

A third-grade pill cauldron is something only a master alchemist would need. Isn't it a waste for Chen Feng to buy such a thing?

Moreover, the most direct requirement to become a third-grade alchemist is to become a Gold Core cultivator.

And Chen Feng...

It's not that Xia Jiao doesn't believe in him, but as a Foundation Building cultivator, isn't he aiming too high?

Just as she was about to speak up and advise against wasting money...

Chen Feng didn't say anything, but simply took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Xia Jiao, gesturing for her to open and take a look.

"What is this?" Xia Jiao took it and glanced at Chen Feng with some doubt in her eyes.

After opening it, she took a breath and her pupils contracted, all of which Chen Feng observed clearly.

"Phew." Xia Jiao closed her eyes and let out a deep breath.

"Ten Foundation Building Pills, how did you get them?" Xia Jiao's face showed both curiosity and excitement.

"I made them."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

Xia Jiao took a while to recover and placed the Foundation Building Pills in Chen Feng's hand. Her tone also changed, becoming softer.

"Good son-in-law, you've been hiding quite well."

Xia Jiao couldn't hide her excitement in her eyes. As someone over a hundred years old, she hadn't been this surprised in a long time.

The main reason was that Chen Feng was able to refine Foundation Building Pills, a second-grade pill that was extremely difficult to refine.

Every alchemist is a treasure for a power, and they are sought after by various forces.

A family with an alchemist in their ranks would find it difficult not to become wealthy and powerful.

This is why Xia Jiao allowed Xia Xue'er to frequently run to Chen Feng's side.

However, she only thought of Chen Feng as a first-grade artifact refiner. The surprise he brought her now was too great.

Her emotions were a bit unstable for a moment, and she looked at Chen Feng with a complex expression.

Chen Feng grinned and said, "It's just that my mother-in-law didn't know. Do you think I have the qualifications to own a third-grade pill furnace now?"

Xia Jiao was startled and couldn't control herself, slapping the table with one hand. "Yes! Even if I don't refine my Peak Gathering Pill, I will get you a pill furnace!"

"You're exaggerating, mother-in-law." Chen Feng replied. By revealing his identity as a second-grade alchemist, he wanted to add another layer of restraint to Xia Jiao and make her value him more.

Even after breaking through to the Gold Core stage in the future, the chances of him leaving would be very low.

Of course, it was also possible for her to capture Chen Feng and sell him to some major forces.

But no one would be foolish enough to do that.

"In that case, I'll come to pick you up in half a month, and we'll go to South Chu City together."

In the past, Chen Feng could go wherever he wanted, even if he died outside, it wouldn't matter much.

But now it was different. Chen Feng's status had risen countless levels in her heart.

Traveling with Chen Feng was also a way to take care of his safety.

After seeing Xia Jiao off and watching Xia Xue'er, who was still smiling sweetly at him, Chen Feng's mouth twitched.

"Alright, we don't have to hide anymore, we can be open and honest now."

Chen Feng took a deep breath and took Xia Xue'er to meet her sister.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

After counting all the spirit stones in the house, there were a total of 415,000 low-grade spirit stones. After deducting the 5,000 left for the family's expenses, the rest were taken away.

This was the entire fortune of the Chen family since its establishment.
