152: Chapter 152: The Double Mastery of Dan Fu

Chen Jiancang also hadn't expected that Tu Wan, the outer clan Cultivator he thought he could become close friends with, was actually a magic Cultivator from the Blood Hidden Gate and had even retaliated against him.

Thinking back now, from the Blood Nether Vine incident, everything was within the other party's scheme; it was all too coincidental.

Qin Huai stepped forward, patted Chen Jiancang's shoulder, and said, "Jiancang, you don't need to blame yourself too much for this. This matter was meticulously planned by that magic Cultivator. Facing a prepared opponent with an unprepared heart, it's impossible to guard against. But the deceased are gone; the living must strive. When you have the strength later, avenge Steward Nethercloud."

Qin Huai now trusted Chen Jiancang greatly and no longer viewed him as a typical Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root. He believed that in the future, Chen Jiancang would go further and further on the path of cultivation, perhaps even further than the current Old Ancestor Chen Qingyuan.

Chen Jiancang sighed upon hearing this and said, "Father-in-law, precisely because of this, you should come with me to the Main Spiritual Vein. Otherwise, if those magic Cultivators retaliate again, what if..."

Chen Jiancang didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clear.

However, Qin Huai still shook his head, firmly refusing Chen Jiancang.

"Jiancang, you don't need to worry about me. Those magic Cultivators have suffered losses at your hands multiple times and won't retaliate again in the short term. Besides, after this incident, the Chen Clan will definitely send forces to guard each Spiritual Vein, and there won't be a situation like today where the Chen Clan's Foundation Establishment cultivator is not at the Spiritual Vein. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Qin Huai's mindset was optimistic. He knew that as long as those magic Cultivators couldn't confirm the status of Old Ancestor Chen Qingyuan, they wouldn't launch a large-scale attack on the Qingya Mountain Range.

If the Old Ancestor truly had an accident, even being at the Main Spiritual Vein wouldn't be safe. In fact, the Main Spiritual Vein would be even more dangerous then.

After all, the Chen Clan's main strength and resources were at the Main Spiritual Vein. Once a war targeting the Chen Clan began, the Main Spiritual Vein would be the first to bear the brunt and become the most dangerous place.

Seeing Qin Huai's firm attitude, Chen Jiancang no longer insisted. He took out dozens of First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans from his storage bag and handed them to Qin Huai.

"Father-in-law, keep these First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans with you. If you encounter an unbeatable opponent, don't be stingy."

These First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans were all personally refined by Chen Jiancang, but Qin Huai didn't know that. Previously, when Chen Jiancang and Chen Jianyun got married, Chen Jiancang had already given him a considerable stack of First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans. Now, Chen Jiancang gave him so many more, making it difficult for Qin Huai to accept for a moment.

"Jiancang, these Spirit Talismans must have been hard to come by. You should keep them for yourself. The Spirit Talismans you gave me last time are already enough for me to use," Qin Huai refused, shaking his head.

The price of a First Order High Grade Spirit Talisman in the Market was about 100 spiritual stones. The number of Spirit Talismans Chen Jiancang casually took out, if sold in the Market, could easily fetch an exorbitant price. Qin Huai believed that these Spirit Talismans must have been hard-earned by Chen Jiancang and shouldn't all be given to him to waste.

Seeing this, Chen Jiancang finally showed a hint of a smile on his face and directly admitted, "Father-in-law, you don't know this, but these Spirit Talismans were all personally drawn by me. Moreover, I am now at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation. These Spirit Talismans are basically dispensable to me."

Chen Jiancang said it casually, but Qin Huai instantly showed a look of incredible shock.

"These Spirit Talismans were all drawn by you?" Qin Huai asked in a shocked voice. One must know that Chen Jiancang was the renowned First Order Alchemist of Xiao Yun Mountain!

Other Cultivators, even if they only cultivated one of the four arts of cultivation, couldn't fully understand it and would never reach the profound grandmaster Realm in their entire lives. But Chen Jiancang was not only an Alchemist now, but his talent in Talismans was even better than his talent in Alchemy.

"These Spirit Talismans are all First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans, and there are Five Elements Spirit Talismans among them. Are you sure you refined them?" Qin Huai was now a little unable to see through his son-in-law and asked repeatedly.

Chen Jiancang didn't plan to hide his Talisman talent from those close to him. After all, refining pills and drawing Talismans were daily necessities for Chen Jiancang. He could hide it for a while, but not forever; those around him would know sooner or later.

Previously, Chen Jiancang hid it to avoid being too ostentatious. After all, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

But at this moment, Chen Jiancang also understood that although Qin Huai often failed to accomplish things, in the final analysis, it was due to his relatively poor luck. His character was upright and noble. He was previously willing to pay out of his own pocket to compensate the families of the deceased hired hands, and now he was even willing to stay at the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein for Chen Jiancang.

His secret as a Talisman Master was nothing significant; letting him know wouldn't hurt.

Chen Jiancang said with a smile, "Father-in-law, these Spirit Talismans were indeed drawn by me. They are just First Order High Grade Spirit Talismans. Only the Cage Talisman can trap a Foundation Establishment cultivator for a breath of time. Other Spirit Talismans are basically ineffective against Foundation Establishment cultivators, so they are useless for me to keep."

"Haha, good, good, good! Then I'll accept them." Qin Huai laughed heartily. He had never imagined that his son-in-law, who was destined for greatness, was truly a hidden dragon. At this moment, he felt even more fortunate that he had agreed to Chen Jianyun's marriage.

Qin Huai hadn't expected that Chen Jiancang was also a Genius in both Alchemy and Talismans. Although he only had a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root, with his talent in both Alchemy and Talismans, he wouldn't lack cultivation resources. Thinking about it now, it made sense that Chen Jiancang could break through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer at such a young age.

Chen Jiancang bid farewell to Qin Huai and returned home. At this moment, Chen Jianyun looked at Chen Jiancang with anticipation.

Chen Jiancang informed Chen Jianyun of the result that he couldn't persuade Qin Huai. He didn't tell the real reason but comforted her by saying, "Father-in-law doesn't want to leave for now, but when the time is right, I will come back for him."

Just then, there was a knock at the courtyard door. Chen Jiancang opened the door, and a Chen Clan member quickly said, "Jiancang, people from the Main Spiritual Vein have arrived. The Clan Elders haven't returned yet, so we need you to go and take charge of the overall situation."

"What?" Jiancang thought he had misheard. After all, although the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein couldn't be considered a powerful branch of the Chen Clan, there were quite a few Qi Refining Ninth Layer clansmen. Even if the Clan Elders hadn't returned, it shouldn't be his turn, a junior from the Jian generation, to take charge of the overall situation at the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein.

"Jiancang, the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein is in chaos right now, and only you can convince everyone. So everyone unanimously proposed that you go and liaise with the people from the Main Spiritual Vein," the clansman quickly explained again.

Chen Jiancang felt a little helpless but also found it somewhat amusing. However, thinking that the magic Cultivators' attack was inherently related to him, he couldn't refuse. He could only turn around and explain briefly to Meng Qingwan and Chen Jianyun before following the clansman to the Dan Hall.

At this moment, many Qi Refining Ninth Layer clansmen at the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein were waiting for Chen Jiancang's arrival, including the Deacons and stewards of the various halls of the Chen Clan at the branch hall in the Xiao Yun Mountain Spiritual Vein.

These clansmen were usually highly respected individuals, yet at this moment, they were all waiting for Chen Jiancang, a junior, to take charge of the overall situation.
