Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Chapter 155: Chapter 103: The Crisis is Averted, The Chen Family’s Ancestor?_3
The once unbearably hot outdoor temperature gradually began to cool down.

About three to five minutes later,

Luo Chuan couldn’t help but shiver and then he lifted his head to look at the Cooling Charm floating above.

“I didn’t expect this thing to actually be quite useful…”

Thinking this to himself, Luo Chuan then reset the range and temperature.

Afterward, he took out around a hundred talismans from his sleeve.

He kept some for himself and handed the rest to Hu Min behind him.

In the time that followed, Luo Chuan and Hu Min were primarily occupied with constantly activating the talismans in their hands.

They covered the entire farmland within the range of the talismans.

The Cooling Charm needed to be used, and so did the Locust Removal Talisman.

As for the Rain Seeking Talisman, the two of them went ahead and activated that too.

For now, there was no shortage of water resources.

But as the Huai River gradually dried up and the water in the deep wells was used up,

the Rain Seeking Talisman would eventually be needed.

…

After all of this was done,

half an hour had already passed.

At this time, Luo Chuan stood silently in a field,

slightly stooping to quietly observe the semi-lifeless small locusts and a handful of larger ones.

A look of shock couldn’t help but flash across his eyes.

The effectiveness of the Locust Removal Talisman far exceeded his expectations.

He had originally thought that if the talisman could drive the locusts away, it would be quite good.

But now it seemed…

the Locust Removal Talisman appeared to directly kill all the locusts within its range.

Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman, Formation.

The four mystical professions, each with their differences.

Alchemy and Talisman, these two professions,

he had clearly seen their extraordinary aspects on his family’s ancestors.

As a result, this made Luo Chuan even more curious about the extremely mysterious Formation masters among the four professions.

…

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

In Huai Shui County, Tongmu County, Chen Family territory,

in the room where the Family Head was, sat Chen Yisheng, the current Family Head of the Chen Family.

At this moment, he was sitting quietly in the principal seat,

dealing with the governmental affairs on the table.

However, the more he dealt with them, the more solemn Chen Yisheng’s expression became.

It wasn’t until a long time later that Chen Yisheng slowly exhaled.

“The current situation seems to be more severe than I had originally thought…”

Chen Yisheng put down one of the documents in his hand.

Then, he stood up silently and walked towards the outside of the room.

Huai Shui County, located beside the Huai River,

depended on the river so there was no need to worry about water resources.

But as time passed and outdoor temperatures gradually rose,

the water level of the Huai River also began to fall rapidly.

Until this moment, the Huai River was already in a state of depletion.

“`

Even, no need for ten days or half a month.

That Huai Shui River would be completely dried up.

The agricultural needs of the Chen Family, particularly for water resources, would become the greatest challenge for the Chen Family at present.

“Father, are you still considering how to expand our clan’s influence, or even unify the entire Huai Shui County?”

Outside the room, Chen Wanliang, as the Young Master of the Chen Family.

Upon seeing his father Chen Yisheng’s somewhat somber expression.

He couldn’t help but step forward and asked.

“The situation within the Da Feng Dynasty is becoming increasingly chaotic.”

“In the northern regions, two or three prefectures have even experienced locust plagues.”

“Locusts swarm the skies and cover the earth, devouring crops and humans alike, leaving nothing but devastation in the wake of the locust disaster.”

“Originally, our Huai Shui County fared slightly better, relying on the Huai Shui River for a bit of relief.”

“At least we didn’t have to worry about the problem of water resources.”

“But now, the Huai Shui River is gradually drying up.”

“In our Chen Family’s farmlands, the number and scale of locusts are continuously increasing, I fear…”

Chen Yisheng furrowed his brows slightly, speaking with a serious countenance.

However, before he could finish speaking,

His son Chen Wanliang, who stood before him, suddenly interrupted: “Father, is the struggle for supremacy under the heavens really worth it?”

“This world, after all, respects strength above all else.”

“The strong can make the rules.”

“While the weak, may not even have control over their own lives.”

“Even if we hold an army of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, what can our Chen Family do in the face of an Immortal Realm Cultivator beyond the mortal realm?”

“Command our army to eliminate that Immortal beyond the mortal realm?”

As Chen Wanliang spoke, he couldn’t help but feel a desire to laugh.

However, Chen Yisheng, who was standing before Chen Wanliang, grew somewhat silent.

The Chen Family had been operating in Huai Shui County for hundreds, even thousands of years.

Now, the Chen Family had even become one of the four major clan forces in Huai Shui County.

Together with the Tang Family, Luo Family, and the King of Huai Shui, these three powers.

They formed a stable four-legged dynamic, standing firm on this land.

Moreover, it just so happened that the Da Feng Dynasty was collapsing.

Drought and the locust disasters in the two or three northern prefectures.

Have caused countless commoners to become refugees or bandits.

In such a heaven-sent opportunity, do you expect Chen Yisheng to choose to give up?

Clearly, Chen Yisheng, who had tasted the sweet flavor of power.

Would not easily relinquish the authority that he had already grasped in his hands.

…

Outside the room, sensing that his father seemed unwilling to continue the conversation.

Chen Wanliang then changed the subject.

“Father, how has the old ancestor been recently?”

“Still stuck at the peak of Viscera Refinement?”

Chen Yisheng nodded silently and said in a low voice, “About a year ago, the old ancestor came out of seclusion once, and his cultivation was still at the peak of Viscera Refinement, seemingly just one step away from Viscera Refinement above Blood Cultivation, but the old ancestor has always been unable to take that step…”

“Afterwards, the old ancestor told me that he would be entering closed-door cultivation and would not emerge until he broke through to Blood Cultivation.”

“Unless there was a crisis of the family facing destruction, no one should disturb him.”

“So, for the whole year, I haven’t seen the old ancestor.”

“I’m not quite certain whether he has broken through to the Blood Refinement Realm…”
