27: Chapter 27: Nonsense

Purchasing a Spirit Field requires at least 2000 Chen Family contribution points. How could Chen Jiancang, a small Cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, possibly have so many contribution points?

You must understand that now that he has been selected for the Law Enforcement Hall, diligently patrolling the streets for a year only earns him a reward of 50 points.

Therefore, no matter what, he could not believe that Chen Jiancang could have so many contribution points.

"If he has that many contribution points, I, Chen Jianshen, will crawl around the Xiao Yun Mountain Market three times."

As soon as Chen Jianshen said this, the surrounding Chen Family members watching the spectacle burst into laughter, and some began to whisper, their faces full of doubt towards Chen Jiancang.

Chen Jiancang's expression darkened slightly, feeling extremely annoyed by Chen Jianshen's unreasonable behavior, but he still suppressed his anger, took out a smooth, translucent jade token from hisPregnant, which was the proof of Chen Family contribution points.

"Chen Jianshen, stop being difficult and open your eyes to see clearly."

As Chen Jiancang spoke, he injected spiritual power into the identity token, and densely packed golden runes instantly appeared on the token.

Amidst the flashing light, the number "Total Contribution: 5000" was clearly visible, but at this time, only 426 points remained in the balance.

When Chen Jianshen saw this scene, his face turned pale, then red. He never would have thought that Chen Jiancang had actually produced proof of sufficient contribution points.

But he was stubborn by nature and still unwilling to believe, saying with a stiff neck, "This... this might be forged by you. Who knows where you got this broken token from? Can the numbers on it count?"

Just as the two were at a stalemate, a stern shout came from outside the crowd: "Enough! What kind of behavior is this, arguing and making noise here!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw an old man with white hair, wearing a dark purple robe, walking with large strides. It was the Elder of the Chen Family's Xiao Yun Mountain branch, Elder Chen Yinzong.

Elder Chen Yinzong held extremely high prestige within the Xiao Yun Mountain branch.

Elder Chen Yinzong's gaze was like a torch. He first glanced at the jade token in Chen Jiancang's hand, and then looked at Chen Jianshen, his expression stern: "Chen Jianshen, don't be insolent! This jade token is specially made by the Chen Family, and its spiritual power fluctuations are unique. How could it be forged?"

When Chen Jianshen heard this, his body trembled slightly, and a hint of fear appeared on his face, but he still lowered his head, unwilling to give up.

Elder Chen Yinzong then looked at Jiancang, his tone softening slightly: "Chen Jiancang, tell us the origin of these 5000 contribution points, so that everyone can be convinced."

Chen Jiancang respectfully bowed to Elder Chen Yinzong and slowly began, "Replying to the Elder, the contribution points were rewarded by Uncle-Grandfather Chen Yinjiang of the Spirit Plant Hall. Ninth Uncle can testify."

At this moment, Chen Youming, who was watching from the side, stepped forward, his expression serious, and cupped his hands towards the Grand Elder, saying, "Elder, what Jiancang said is true. Two months ago, Jiancang contributed a new cultivation plan for qinghe rice, which can effectively improve yield and spiritual rice quality. The Elder on duty at the Spirit Plant Hall, Uncle-Clan Yinjiang, rewarded him with 5000 Chen Family contribution points on the spot. I was right there and can testify for him."

Hearing Chen Youming's words, the surrounding Chen Family members instantly burst into an uproar, all showing expressions of disbelief.

"What? There's a new cultivation plan for qinghe rice? We've been planting qinghe rice for so many years, but we've always followed the old methods!" A young Chen Family member said with a face full of surprise, unable to help but raise his voice.

"Yes, the method of planting qinghe rice has been passed down in our Chen Family for a long time. I've never heard that there could be a new cultivation method. Is this reliable?" An old man with graying hair also frowned, his eyes full of doubt.

Elder Chen Yinzong's expression also became serious, his gaze fixed on Chen Jiancang, a hint of curiosity and anticipation flashing in his eyes: "Jiancang, what exactly is this new qinghe rice cultivation plan? Tell us about it in detail."

Chen Jiancang bowed respectfully again, and said unhurriedly, "Replying to the Elder, the qinghe rice cultivation plan was obtained from my parents'Relics. After exploring and planting for a year and confirming its effectiveness, I went to the Spirit Plant Hall with Ninth Uncle to contribute it to the Chen Family."

"The qinghe rice planted according to this new plan not only has its maturation period shortened by twenty percent, but its yield has also greatly increased, and the spiritual energy it contains is even richer," Chen Jiancang explained in detail.

"Therefore, Uncle-Grandfather Chen Yinjiang of the Spirit Plant Hall personally rewarded me with 5000 Chen Family contribution points."

After hearing this, the Chen Family members were all dumbfounded. They had originally doubted the origin of Chen Jiancang's contribution points, but now they were full of admiration and praise.

"This Jiancang is truly a lucky star for our Chen Family."

"Yes, if this new plan is promoted, the yield and quality of our Chen Family's qinghe rice can reach a new level, and we will have resources for cultivation in the future!"

Chen Jianshen stood to the side, his face alternating between red and white, his heart filled with both shock and regret.

He had originally thought that Chen Jiancang had obtained the contribution points through improper means, but now it seemed that he had made a great contribution with his true ability.

Thinking of his previous unreasonable behavior and solemn bet, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Elder Chen Yinzong nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval: "Jiancang, this achievement of yours is not small, and it is a great contribution to the Chen Family. You are worthy of these 5000 contribution points."

Chen Jiancang said humbly, "The Elder is too kind. Jiancang has only done what he should. It is my honor to be able to contribute to the Chen Family."

Elder Chen Yinzong nodded slightly, but his expression gradually became serious: "Currently, the new cultivation plan has not yet been promoted. I don't know how the Spirit Plant Hall is considering it. The new batch of qinghe rice is about to be planted. I wonder if Jiancang can contribute the cultivation plan first?"
