112: Relocation, Jade Dragon Peak, a fairyland on earth
"That is certain. Once the Head of the Chen Family's new residence is built, I will surely send a housewarming gift!"
Baili Xi said with a laugh, cupping his hands. Afterward, the two exchanged pleasantries and, facing the corpse of the Body Cultivator, secretly divided the benefits.
The Elder of the Gu God Cult—this was a great merit. If Baili Xi submitted it, he would certainly receive a heavy reward.
Originally, Baili Xi did not dare to hope that he would receive this reward, as he thought the Chen Family would claim it for themselves.
Unexpectedly, Chen Changsheng was unwilling to be in the limelight and even had thoughts of living in seclusion, so this heavy reward would now fall to Baili Xi.
"Under the leadership of Immortal Official Baili, our Chen Family helped exterminate the Elder of the Gu God Cult. I think this is the most appropriate way to report it to the superiors!"
Chen Changsheng said with a smile. A sharp glint flashed in Baili Xi's eyes—Chen Changsheng was giving the credit to him!
"Since the Head of the Chen Family has said so, I will report it as such. However, the reward that the Chen Family is entitled to, I will certainly have it delivered to the Chen Family's home!"
Baili Xi's approach was also very simple: since your Chen Family does not want the credit, I will distribute the material rewards to your Chen Family.
In this way, both sides could benefit. For Baili Xi, who was pursuing an official career, merit was naturally the most important thing.
And since the Chen Family had no intention of entering officialdom and only wanted to Cultivate in low profile, having a batch of cultivation resources to strengthen the Family was naturally the most suitable outcome!
Chen Changsheng and Baili Xi looked at each other and smiled. In the midst of their conversation, they had finished distributing the credit for this mission, and both had obtained what they wanted most.
A short while later, Baili Xi exchanged a few more pleasantries with Chen Changsheng, then took the corpse of the Body Cultivator and headed to the Prefecture City to claim his reward!
"Dad, are we really moving? What about our tea fields on War Horse Slope and the winery?"
Seeing that Chen Changsheng had finished his discussion, Chuanwen walked to his side with a frown and asked. He had always been the one managing the Family business, so Chuanwen was the most concerned.
"No worries. The tea will still be grown, and the wine will still be brewed. We just need to promote some Shopkeepers. The Black Ice Platform also has some injured personnel who cannot participate in important missions; let them lurk behind these Shopkeepers, so even if we are not present, we will still have everything under control!"
Chen Changsheng said with a smile. Their business was growing larger and larger, and relying on Chuanwen alone could no longer support the workload. It was time to promote some management!
"Dad, your method is good. It not only keeps control of the business but also finds something for the injured brothers of the Black Ice Platform to do. I will go arrange it right now!"
Chuanwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately rode off toward Longwei County. He prepared to hold a meeting to promote some trusted aides to management positions, which would also save him time to Cultivate and practice martial arts!
"Eldest, put away the corpse of this python. It can be considered a small Yao Beast that has gained some cultivation; this corpse must have many uses!"
Chen Changsheng looked at the two-meter-long python, thinking about making the best use of everything. This large snake was already at the Mid-stage Qi Refining and possessed a Bloodline talent, so its flesh and blood must be extraordinary!
Chuanwu acknowledged, took a long saber to skin and debone the python, and dragged it away to process it!
"Chuanjie, get the Family together. We are holding a meeting to prepare for the move!"
Chen Changsheng had already made up his mind about the moving plan, and he acted with vigor and speed!
In fact, it was mainly because the Gu God Cult had put quite a bit of pressure on him!
This evil cult was truly unscrupulous. In Zhaozhuang, everyone from men and women to the old and young had been slaughtered. Now that they knew the Chen Family's lair, he estimated that the other party would not easily let go!
This time, two Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators had come, resulting in one being injured and one dead!
The next time they came, they would surely be experts, and the Chen Family certainly wouldn't be able to handle it, so it was best to leave.
Before long, Yi Lian and the two pregnant daughters-in-law arrived in the living room!
Chen Changsheng explained the grievances between the Chen Family and the Gu God Cult to them, and then asked for their opinions!
Although Yi Lian was reluctant to leave her old home, she could distinguish the severity of the situation and agreed to move with Chen Changsheng!
Ma Yuwen was alone with no attachments, so naturally, she had no issues!
Wang Juan was worried about her father's safety; after all, the Gu God Cult had always been the type to kill every relative and friend they could find!
"Juaner, your concern is right. It is not safe for Brother Wang to stay in the village. I will have Chuanwu go persuade Brother Wang to move with us to Jade Dragon Peak. He is not young anymore; it is time for him to enjoy his later years. He can just stay at Jade Dragon Peak and keep his grandson company!"
Chen Changsheng tapped the table lightly and decided to take Wang Yong with them. Although Wang Yong's strength was no longer sufficient, the friendship between Chen Changsheng and him could stand the test, so he would feel at ease having him there.
Having addressed Wang Juaner's worries, everyone agreed to move, and they began to direct the Maidservant and the servants to pack up their belongings.
Chen Changsheng then took Chuanwu and Chuanjie with him, riding toward Jade Dragon Peak.
This time, Chen Changsheng was mainly trying to avoid being hunted by the Gu God Cult, so secrecy was of the utmost importance. Therefore, he did not intend to hire workers for large-scale construction; he only planned to take his three sons and build a simple residence first!
The three sons were all Xiantian Martial Artists who also practiced Qi Refining, so building a house was naturally not difficult, though the details might not be as exquisite as those made by craftsmen!
At the foot of Jade Dragon Peak.
The three Chuan brothers looked at the thousand-meter-high, flower-covered Jade Dragon Peak, unable to hide their surprise.
"Dad, this Jade Dragon Peak is so beautiful! The mountainside is covered in blooming flowers competing in beauty, and the summit is snow-capped, cold, and pristine. There is even a waterfall hanging down; it is truly a blessed land of the immortals!"
Chen Chuanjie looked at the Jade Dragon Peak before him and couldn't help but praise it.
"Of course it's beautiful. Your dad picked it out at first sight. There is also a pool on the summit, rumored to be the Jade Dragon's private residence. We can even go fishing in our spare time to Cultivate our character!"
Chen Changsheng said with a smile. Chuanwen usually loved fishing the most, and hearing Chen Changsheng's words, he couldn't help but feel eager, quickly saying:
"Then what are we waiting for? Dad, let's hurry up the mountain and take a look!"
Seeing Chuanwen's impatient look, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh and said to the three brothers:
"Tie up the horses, we are going up the mountain!"
The group followed the waterfall, hacking through brambles to carve out a path up the mountain. Passing the mountainside, the temperature dropped significantly, but everyone had cultivation, so they didn't feel cold at all; instead, they thought the snowy scenery of the mountain dancing with silver snakes was truly beautiful!
Finally, the father and his three sons climbed to the summit.
At the summit was a flat platform, as if the peak had been sliced off by a sword. In the center of the platform was a clear pool about a hundred meters in size, like a blue gem embedded in the snow-capped mountain.
"There really is a pool! The water is so clear and cold; I bet the fish in the pool are even more delicious!"
Chen Chuanwen was delighted. He walked to the pool, scooped up a handful of clear water to wash his face, and then turned to ask Chen Changsheng:
"Dad, do you know what kind of fish this pool produces?"
Chen Changsheng looked at Chuanwen with a smile. Seeing him solely focused on fishing, he couldn't help but tease him:
"All you think about is playing. I told you to come up here to build a house, not to go fishing!"
"However, once the house is built, you can play to your heart's content. This pool is called Jade Dragon Pool, and it produces large black carp. I hear the meat is extremely delicious; you can try it then!"
