Chapter 263
Chen Jing'an put away the Emperor's Banner and officially came out of retreat.
He sent a message to Chen Qingwang and Chen Qingzhi's courtyards respectively.
Not long after, Chen Qingzhi arrived.
As for Chen Qingwang, he was not there, and his eldest son Chen Mingyuan came instead.
Chen Qingzhi explained, "My eldest brother got the foundation-building pill from my father. He has been in seclusion these days to prepare for a breakthrough and has resigned from the clan affairs."
Chen Jing'an frowned when he heard this: "He is only at the eighth level of Qi training. Why is he in seclusion so early?"
"Dad said that the key to breakthrough is the word 'stable'."
Chen Mingyuan added cautiously, "A while ago, my father went to Yunwu County to do business and asked Master Fang about the way of cultivation. He got the four-character mantra."
Chen Jing'an's expression suddenly calmed down: "What is it."
Chen Mingyuan didn't dare to look at his grandfather's expression, and he was not confident enough: "Steady and far-reaching."
Hearing this, Chen Jing'an was directly laughed out of anger.
Why do you have to learn from Fang Run when you can't learn from anyone else!
Do you really think everyone is as rich as Fang Run?
Now this kid, in order to seek stability, actually chose to quit while he was in seclusion refining the "Human Emperor Banner".
What a steady and far-reaching mantra!
He immediately said, "This kid quits, isn't he afraid that the clan will stop supplying him?"
After the words fell.
The expressions of Chen Mingyuan and Chen Qingzhi became strange.
Especially Chen Qingzhi, he also lowered his head and learned to be as cautious as his nephew Chen Mingyuan: "Dad doesn't know, the company just distributed dividends a month ago. In addition to the accumulation of my eldest brother over the years, he has accumulated thousands of spiritual stones."
"Before leaving, my eldest brother also went to the clan's inner storehouse to purchase some, and stockpiled cultivation resources worth 700 spiritual stones..."
Chen Qingzhi stopped there.
Anyway, there was only one meaning behind his words, Chen Qingwang had been planning for many years for today's retreat.
Now, he is in a state where he cannot be selected temporarily.
Unless Chen Jingan forcibly captures him.
But this is obviously impossible.
They are father and son, not enemies.
Chen Jingan just didn't agree with this kid's excessive caution. Who in the world would start to retreat and build a foundation when they were at the eighth level of Qi training?
After going through this whole process, he would have to be in seclusion for ten or eight years.
When Chen Qingwang comes out again, he may have grandchildren.
However, Chen Jingan thought about it.
Chen Qingwang has a careful plan, and even calculated all possible emergencies, which allows him to break through as usual in an isolated environment.
From this perspective, Chen Qingwang's behavior is remarkable.
Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own misfortunes and blessings.
Chen Jingan thought for a moment, took out a Qiankun bag from his arms, and put it in Chen Mingyuan's hand.
"Send this thing to your father, as grandfather supports him to break through."
Chen Mingyuan knew that his grandfather had passed this level, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandson will obey grandfather's orders."
...
Wait until Chen Mingyuan left.
Chen Jingan and Chen Qingzhi and his son talked about recent events again.
One of them is that Qinghe County annexed seven counties of Changping County.
The Black Demon Cult participated in the chaos in the capital this time, and the masters sent out by the sect were basically wiped out.
This left another position vacant in the Black Demon Cult.
Chen Qingyi was transferred from Changping County with the support of Xiao Lanruo.
The new Changping garrison who replaced Chen Qingyi was reluctant to give up the business that could bring in a lot of income, so he continued to cooperate with Chen Qingzhi's business.
As the saying goes, money makes the devil work.
This also applies to demon cultivators.
As long as they give enough spirit stones, they can even cooperate with hostile forces like Qinghe County.
In addition, there is Chen Qingzhi's practice.
He is now at the seventh level of Qi training.
Chen Jingan gave him a Qiankun bag as usual, and told him: "You should focus on your own cultivation at present, and strive to break through to the foundation-building realm as soon as possible."
Chen Qingzhi kept in mind the matter of "Huangyan Lingmu".
Since his father took the initiative to mention it, it means that he is not far from the impact of Jindan.
This shocked Chen Qingzhi, and he asked curiously.
"What level has Dad's strength reached now?"
"Anyone below Jindan can fight."
Chen Qingzhi's expression suddenly became serious: "The child will do his best to prepare for the breakthrough."
...
Panshan County City.
In the past time, Panshan County has completed the replacement of the old and new masters.
The foundation-building immortal clan of the Song Dynasty is the Zou Immortal Clan.
The ancestor of the Zou Immortal Clan is named Zou Qin.
His origin is not simple. He is the fourth disciple of the Song Dynasty's national teacher "Shenxiao Taoist", and he is at the sixth level of foundation-building.
This time, the Song Dynasty took advantage of the situation and reaped the benefits of the confrontation between the two sides, gaining three counties from Daqian.
Coincidentally, the Song DynastyEach of the three Jindan Zhenjuns recommended a foundation-building master.
Zou Qin was the candidate recommended by the Song Dynasty's national teacher.
He was very clear about his position from the beginning.
The so-called three southern counties.
This is just a fulcrum of the Song Dynasty's northward expansion plan. Next, the Song Dynasty will further plan other counties in Daqian.
The target they set for Panshan County is Qinghe County.
Therefore, from the moment Zou Qin took over Panshan County, he began his plan against Qinghe County.
The Song Dynasty has its own way of dealing with neighboring countries.
The most typical one is the price war.
The sixteen countries in Xizhou all have their own strengths.
For example, Daliang is good at mechanical skills, Daqian is good at military formations, and Dayan is good at controlling beasts.
The strength of the Song Dynasty is its national wealth, which can maximize its advantages in business.
The immortal skills within their Song Dynasty are particularly prosperous, and corresponding alliance organizations have been formed in all walks of life.
Alchemists have their own alliances, weapon refiners have their own alliances, and talisman masters have their own alliances...
These alliances each form interest groups, which can produce large quantities of spiritual objects and reduce costs.
They unify prices, formulate rules, and share benefits within the Song Dynasty.
Outside the Song Dynasty, they can also dump spiritual objects on a large scale according to the wishes of the royal family, and in a short period of time, they can defeat the markets established by counties and prefectures in other countries, directly cutting off a major source of income for the foundation-building immortals.
Once the foundation-building immortals choose to take action.
The Song Dynasty can intervene legitimately, under the guise of protecting their own interests.
If the foundation-building immortals swallow their anger.
The Song Dynasty will also create trouble in the county through the scattered cultivators they sponsor, which can also cause a county to become chaotic in a short period of time.
As long as there is chaos inside, it will be much easier to take action.
Zou Qin's master, "Shenxiao Taoist", is a leader in business, and has repeatedly promoted the expansion and penetration of the Song Dynasty in other directions, so he is deeply trusted by the Song Dynasty's royal ancestors.
Zou Qin himself had also presided over price wars against other counties, and he was always successful.
This was a great opportunity to plunder the wealth of Qinghe County.
Moreover, a considerable portion of the profits obtained this time could be attributed to his family.
Zou Qin would certainly not let it go.
He immediately summoned the alliance envoys stationed in Panshan County, and they immediately began to prepare for a price war against Qinghe County.
