Chapter 0019 The Potential Crisis of the Jiang Family
After these days of persistent polishing, coupled with the assistance of medicine, Jiang Chen finally polished these four meridians to a state that he was satisfied with.
"The four meridians are developed simultaneously, just like a flower with four petals. There is no greater or greater importance. They are almost going hand in hand. Compared with the first time you practiced, the toughness and strength of these meridians have increased by more than ten times."
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with this progress, although he knew that in terms of martial arts training, his predecessor Jiang Chen was already quite a few steps behind others.
But this is no reason to be impatient, Jiang Chen still follows his own pace, works slowly and carefully, and things will come naturally.
Finally, on the morning of the sixth day, Jiang Chen was in his best condition.
The four zhenqi are like dragons, full of wildness and explosive power. They invariably form a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding that wants to open the fifth key point.
The powerful and rhythmic flow of Qi filled Jiang Chen's entire body with a sense of calm.
Breath, luck!
The four true qi, like four carps about to leap onto the dragon gate, are high in fighting spirit and full of vitality. Under Jiang Chen's guidance, they arrive at the same destination through different paths and converge. They rustle like meteors towards the fifth fortress that Jiang Chen has positioned long ago.
Rush away!
The warm current surges, comparable to the transcendent pleasure of the intercourse between men and women, instantly passing through the vital points and spreading throughout the body.
boom!
The key point was broken through like an eggshell. The powerful air flow broke through the key point and penetrated the fifth meridian along the predetermined route!
The fifth key point, open it!
The fifth meridian is connected!
Five meridians of true energy, great success!
…
Facing the morning sun, Jiang Chen showed his first smile that came from the depths of his heart after his reincarnation.
The Five Meridians True Qi did not surprise him. What made him happy was the practice and the sense of accomplishment that came after the breakthrough.
This sense of accomplishment was something he had never enjoyed before in his previous life as the son of the Emperor of Heaven.
"As for the five meridians of true qi, it shouldn't be at the bottom among the descendants of the major princes, right? Moreover, with my vision and strength, within the true qi realm, even the high-level true qi realm of the seven and eight meridians may not be able to
Won me over.”
Jiang Chen still has this bit of confidence.
Because with his insight, he can definitely see through the essence of the basic martial arts in this world at a glance. He can see through all the opponent's methods before the opponent makes a move. In this kind of competition, he will naturally have a huge advantage.
of.
After walking out of the secret training room, Jiang Chen discovered that he had not visited his father for many days.
When he came to this world, whether it was the flesh-and-blood relationship or the first impression. Jiang Hanhou Jiang Feng, his father, has always been Jiang Chen's spiritual sustenance.
From this man, Jiang Chen realized what it means to have love in the world.
Jiang Chen didn't say anything about this kinship relationship, but he still valued it very much in his heart.
When he saw his father, Jiang Hanhou was holding an invitation card in his hand, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was obviously worried.
"Father." Jiang Chen walked in.
"Haha, Chen'er, you're here!" Jiang Feng was always in a particularly good mood when he saw his son, and the gloom on his forehead was cleverly hidden.
"How's it going? I heard about it. You haven't left home these days. Could it be that you are really determined to pass the three basic tests this time?"
Jiang Feng's half-joking tone made Jiang Chen speechless for a while. This dad has a really good attitude. At this time, he was actually in the mood to joke.
"The basic exam is nothing. Father, what were you looking at just now? I think you seem to be worried." Seeing that his father didn't mention it, Jiang Chen took the initiative to mention it.
"Well, haha! Chen'er, you didn't care much about family affairs before. Don't worry about these things."
Jiang Feng laughed and tried to change the topic.
"Father, I am your son. You must protect me in a certain way, right? Aren't you afraid that I will be spoiled by you and become a useless playboy?"
"Hey, Chen'er, look what you said. I protect my son. Isn't that natural? In fact, it's nothing. It's just that Marquis Longteng sent an invitation, saying that he wanted all the princes to attend a banquet to celebrate something that happened in his Marquis Longteng Mansion.
What a great joy."
"Longtenghou Mansion?" Jiang Chen immediately thought of the eldest lady Long Juxue.
"Our friendship with the Longteng Marquis Mansion is not good enough to invite us to a wedding banquet, right?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
"Oh, Marquis Long Teng! He is fighting openly and wants to bully my Jiang family. Chen'er, since you asked, I will tell you as a father. In the future, you should be careful when you come in and out, so as not to offend Long Teng.
The people of the Hou Mansion are like this. Our Jiang Han leader is located in the southern border of the kingdom with fertile land. Thirty years ago, we even discovered a semi-spiritual land. Therefore, our family has always had a relationship with the Danwangyuan.
The big business deal is to help Danwangyuan cultivate elixirs."
Discovering a land with semi-spiritual veins is naturally fertile ground for cultivating elixirs. It is normal to have business dealings with Danwangyuan, which operates the elixir business.
Jiang Chen listened quietly, because he knew that there must be more to come.
"However, in recent years, Lord Long Teng has approached me several times and offered to rent our batch of semi-spiritual elixir gardens."
"Lease? Leasing between princes is not impossible. How to pay his rent?" Jiang Chen seemed to have a vague insight into something.
"It is said that Longtenghou Mansion is bullying people, but this place is bullying people. Our business dealings with Danwangyuan, this elixir garden can bring us about five million taels of silver a year. However, Longtenghou is asking for three
One hundred thousand taels for renting our land."
Cultivating elixir materials for Danwangyuan, the annual income is about five million taels!
Rented to Marquis Long Teng, his annual income shrank to 300,000 taels!
Robbery is indeed robbery with open fire!
Jiang Chen suddenly understood. This Long Tenghou was relying on the power of the first prince in the kingdom to commit suicide. The so-called banquet was nothing more than the Hongmen Banquet. Inviting Jiang Hanhou there was nothing more than putting pressure on his face and forcing him to go there.
He compromised.
If it's just the pressure from Lord Longteng, we are all princes of the Eastern Kingdom, and if you force me, at worst I won't let you down.
The princes cannot conquer each other without the king's imperial call.
If the princes start war lightly, it will violate the ancestral system and violate a big taboo.
Seeing his father being so troubled, Jiang Chen was afraid that the pressure was not just coming from Marquis Long Teng alone.
"Is it true that Alchemy King Garden has also secretly colluded with Long Tenghou?" Jiang Chen asked.
Jiang Feng was a little strange and glanced at Jiang Chen: "Okay, Chen'er, you usually don't ask about these things, but I didn't expect you to see the twists and turns here. It is indeed the case, as far as Danwangyuan is concerned
Rumors also spread that even if we don't rent it to Long Tenghou, they plan to terminate the cooperation with us after the Qianlong Conference."
Jiang Chen finally understood. This was just adding insult to injury.
The two parties colluded and directly kicked out the owner of the semi-spiritual land.
This Lord Long Teng is so good at calculating, this is simply a business without capital.
As for Danwangyuan, it is natural that Lord Longteng and Lord Jianghan are directly in favor of Lord Longteng. After all, he is the largest prince in the kingdom.
"So, tonight's banquet is the Hongmen Banquet?" Jiang Chen played with the invitation with great interest. Between the lines, there was a sense of arrogance from Marquis Long Teng, and an aura of triumph of a villain came to his face.
.
The most important thing is that in this invitation, there is a special instruction that Jiang Hanhou and Jiang Chen should attend together.
Is this meant to pack father and son together and severely humiliate them?
"Chen'er, as a father, I'm thinking, I can go alone, but you can..."
"Go! Why don't you go? I really want to see it." Jiang Chen laughed loudly, "I want to see if this Long Tenghou has three heads and six arms."
Through what his father said, combined with all the things that happened before, Jiang Chen had every reason to suspect that the fart that his predecessor Jiang Chen let out at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was most likely related to Marquis Long Teng.
Even if there is no direct relationship, there must be an indirect relationship.
However, how could the mere Marquis Long Teng make Jiang Chen back down?
Being afraid? Avoiding provocation? This is the behavior of a weak person.
Jiang Chen will only be strong in this life!
Besides, Jiang Chen also wanted to see what kind of good thing happened to the upstart Marquis Long Teng, and he even boasted about it as a huge happy event.
…
It's that day, the palace.
Dongfang Zhiruo's palace, after these days of busy work, has been renovated basically according to the requirements of Jiang Chen's drawings.
Now Dongfang Zhiruo's residence is obviously no longer as exquisite as before, but more open and closed.
Dongfang Lu also heard about what happened here, and came here to inspect it in person today, accompanied by Princess Magatama.
"Haha, this Jiang Chen is really good at causing trouble. This doesn't look like a princess's palace!" Dongfang Lu said this, but it was obvious that he didn't mind much.
"Magatama, what do you think of this Jiang Chen?" Dongfang Lu asked the Princess Magatama beside him with a smile.
"Brother Wang, if Jiang Chen can cure Ruo'er, he will naturally be able to stop his mischief. If he is just pretending to be a ghost, Magatama will be the first to make him look good!"
Just as he was talking, Dongfang Zhiruo was already jumping around like a deer.
"Father, aunt, you have come to see Ruo'er."
"Well, Ruo'er, how have you been feeling these past few days?" Dongfang Lu looked at this daughter who had been in trouble since she was a child, feeling quite indebted.
Zhiruo had a lot of bad luck since childhood, but she never complained about anything. On the contrary, she was always very sensible and always considered the feelings of others in everything she did.
Even if he suffers from serious illness, even if he knows that he will not live long, he always lives optimistically.
"Father, Ruo'er has been very happy these days. Look at Ruo'er's face. Doesn't it look much better? Also, Ruo'er is no longer so afraid of the cold every midnight. He feels very cold every day.
Okay, I slept much better than before."
From Dongfang Zhiruo's mental outlook, it can indeed be seen that she has indeed improved a lot in the past few days, and she does not look so listless.
"Ruo'er, so Jiang Chen's treatment methods are effective?" Dongfang Lu's eyes lit up.
"Well, it must be the credit of Brother Jiang Chen. I now carry two of the sachets he gave me to wear. I feel like I don't get tired as easily as before, and I don't often wake up to the cold at night.
My father, aunt, and brother Jiang Chen gave me that picture, and I meditate on it every day, and I think the effect is very good!"
After hearing Dongfang Zhiruo's words and looking at Dongfang Zhiruo's obvious improvement, Dongfang Lu and Magatama looked at each other with meaningful expressions.
