Chapter 88: Dismantling the Puppet Monster (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

After Chen Daoxuan’s narration.

The Chen family finally had some understanding of the family’s financial situation.

In conclusion.

The Chen family was quite rich now, and they would be even richer in the future.

” It’s a good thing that our family is rich, but it’s also a bad thing because it means that we haven’t turned the Spiritual Stones into strength and foundation!”

Chen Daoxuan continued,” Therefore, in the next year, 1 will increase my investment in the cultivation of the Chen family cultivators, including but not limited to cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, spells, the inheritance of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, and so on.”

Hearing this.

Chen Daochu raised his hand and said weakly, “”More investment? 1 almost puked from eating spiritual rice every day.”

Practicing the Dragon Python Heaven-Devouring Technique meant that the Chen family cultivators had to eat more than a hundred catties of spirit rice every day. With so much spirit rice in their stomachs every day, no matter how good the taste was, everyone was a little sick of it.

Chen Daoxuan ignored this silly fellow and continued, “”Next, let’s talk about the specific development plan of the family in the coming year.

Everyone can speak freely.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Daoxuan glared at Chen Daochu, who was eager to speak.” Shut up!”

Hearing this, Chen Daochu immediately had a look of appreciation.

Seeing Chen Daochu like this, the others all laughed.

Usually, in front of the younger cultivators of the Dao generation, Chen Daochu tried his best to maintain his reputation as the first cultivator of the Chen family after Chen Daoxuan.

But in front of Chen Daoxuan and the others, he always unconsciously showed his jumping nature.

Everyone laughed for a while.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Chen Xianhe said,” I have an idea. Look at the spiritual vein of the Chen family. It’s quite wasteful to dissipate spiritual energy every day. Why don’t we open up a few acres of spiritual fields and plant some spiritual herbs? It can also increase the family’s income. What do you think?”

“Uh…”

Chen Daoxuan placed his hand on his forehead.” The matter of opening up the spiritual fields and planting spiritual herbs is not urgent for the time being. Our main topic is how to spend the family’s money, not how to make money.”

Chen Daoxuan had a headache. Thirteenth Uncle’s miser personality was really hard to explain in a few words.

Moreover, how much time would it take to open up a few acres of ling fields and plant a few stalks of spirit herbs in a grade-1 ling vein? How much money could he earn?

Was it worth wasting such precious manpower from the Chen family?

Wasn’t this nonsense?

Seeing that Chen Xianhe’s suggestion had been rejected, everyone fell into deep thought.

Finally, Chen Daochu, who had been holding it in for a long time, couldn’t take it anymore. He said, “”Young Clan Leader, didn’t you say that the Zhou Clan would be holding an auction a year later?

Since that’s the case, we’ll go all out to produce flying swords next year. After we earn spirit stones, we’ll buy a lot at the auction! When the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of good things that you can’t usually see. What a good opportunity!”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Don’t say it.

Chen Daochu’s words were much more constructive than Chen Xianhe’s.

The Chen family did not lack spirit stones. What they lacked was something that could transform spirit stones into strength.

The Zhou Clan’s auction was a good opportunity.

At that time.

There would definitely be many rare treasures appearing in this auction.

“Alright, in that case, the goal of our Chen family next year is to seize and develop the magical equipment market in the wandering cultivator market.”

Chen Daoxuan finally set the tone.

“As Young Clan Leader commands!”

Everyone agreed.

The family meeting ended.

After everyone left.

Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands and apologized to Chen Xianhe, “”You weren’t angry when you refuted Thirteenth Uncle’s suggestion just now, were you?” Then, he looked at Chen Xianhe carefully.

“What’s wrong?”

Chen Xianhe smiled.” Am I such a petty person in your eyes? ”

“It’s good that Thirteenth Uncle isn’t angry.”

Chen Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief and joked,” I was afraid that Thirteenth

Uncle would come after me and slap me.”

“Hahaha!”

Chen Xianhe was amused by him and laughed. The grudge in his heart instantly disappeared.

“Well,”

Chen Xianhe smiled and sighed.” I’m old after all. 1 can’t keep up with the young people’s thoughts. Speaking of which, 1 don’t have anything to teach you.

What I know, you basically know. What 1 don’t know, you’re even more outstanding than me. 1 can rest assured that I’ll leave the family in your hands.”

“Thirteenth Uncle…”

“Listen to me first.”

Chen Xianhe raised his hand.” I only hope that you will weigh the pros and cons before doing anything in the future. Don’t be impulsive and don’t give in blindly.

Too much impulsiveness will lead to premature death. Too much concession will lead to weakness. You will have to control the limits yourself.”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan nodded and said seriously, “”Dao Xuan, remember!”

He watched Chen Xianhe leave.

Chen Daoxuan seemed to have lost all his strength. He lay back and slept beside the spirit pond.

He lay on the grass in the courtyard and raised his head to look at the endless blue sky and white clouds. His eyelids were fighting, and he actually fell asleep.

During this period of time.

He was too tired.

He slept for more than ten hours.

When he woke up again, it was already late at night.

Looking at the color of the sky, Chen Daoxuan gave up on today’s cultivation and took a rare moment of laziness.

He thought about it.

He took out two items from his storage bag and placed them in front of him.

These two items were his gains from this trip to the Mo family.

The first item was the Tier 1 defensive sword technique that Zhou Mucheng had gifted him-Monolith Sword Technique.

This sword scripture could make up for Chen Daoxuan’s lack of defense and increase his strength in the short term.

The second item was the upper-grade leopard-shaped Puppet Monster that Chen Daoxuan had seized from the Mo Clan’s treasury.

This Puppet Monster was not very strong.

Chen Daoxuan estimated that as long as a Qi Condensation cultivator was stubborn and insisted on withstanding the wind blade technique it released, there would not be much danger.

This was because the puppet monster’s Wind Blade Technique could only aim at the target.

In other words.

As long as a cultivator dodged when it aimed at them, they would not be attacked.

Unlike the spells released by cultivators, which were controlled by divine sense and difficult to dodge, the puppet monster did not have such an ability.

In reality.

Chen Daoxuan was already surprised enough that the puppet monster in front of him could cast spells.

Because normally.

Dharmic spells were all released by cultivators using true qi or true essence according to the special dao pattern trajectory.

This Dao pattern was somewhat similar to the array pattern, but it was also completely different.

Moreover, as the grade of the spell increased, the complexity of the dao pattern would become greater and greater, and the power would also become stronger.

Of course, the difficulty of releasing it would gradually decrease as the cultivator’s comprehension of the dao pattern deepened.

It was just like how Chen Daoxuan’s Sword Dao level would always enter a new realm as his understanding of sword scriptures deepened.

Therefore, he had no choice.

Chen Daoxuan was not surprised that these things were done by cultivators.

He was curious as to why a puppet could cast spells.

This had a huge impact on the worldview he had built up over a long period of time.

After all, puppets were inanimate objects, so how could they understand dao patterns?

Not to mention drawing out the spell dao pattern before releasing it, this was simply nonsense.

Other than spirit jade, talisman paper, and other special one-time materials, there was nothing else that could record the dao patterns of spells, let alone repeatedly drawing them.

Moreover, even if there was such a thing, it was still extremely precious. How could it be popularized in large quantities?

Thinking of this…

Chen Daoxuan’s curiosity burned like a raging fire.

At this moment.

He seemed to have found the motivation he had when he was studying driving formations and Harmonious Spirit formations.

However, even after Chen Daoxuan dismantled the leopard puppet monster into a pile of remains, he still couldn’t find the secret of the spell.

Actually, it was normal when he thought about it carefully.

This kind of thing must be the core secret of the Puppet Monsters.. How could he discover it by simply opening a Puppet Monster?
