"Third Young Master, there is news that the eldest son of the Zhao family is here!"
In the stone building surrounding the Valley Manor, the maid Hua Hong reported in a low voice: "Right now, he is competing with the children of the Zhao family branch who are stationed at the manor!"
"Haha, let him learn a lesson then!"
Chen Ying put away the scroll in his hand and said calmly: "Since Mr. Zhao is not willing to take the initiative to ask for an audience, we don't need to be too enthusiastic and just do what we do!"
A mere eldest son of Zhao Da could not cause any fluctuation in his mood.
I guess it's the sequelae caused by that boy Chen Xiong's exposure of his strength.
Chen Ying didn't care very much. He had also met Mr. Zhao. His strength was really average. He had practiced the Zhenqi Mind Technique, but after sensing it during the Chinese New Year, it was equivalent to the Anjin level. He had almost penetrated it.
Ten serious standards.
With such strength, coming to Valley Manor is a fate of being tortured!
…
In a martial arts competition venue somewhere in the valley town, the eldest young master of the Zhao family got up from the ground with a disgraceful look on his face.
I never expected that he was no match for his cousin from the side branch!
You know, the two of them had competed against each other more than half a year ago, and the cousin on the other side couldn't even get through thirty moves in his hands.
But right now, he can barely sustain thirty moves!
The gap is so big that it is difficult to accept it for a while...
"I didn't expect my cousin's cultivation to progress so rapidly. It's really unexpected!"
The smile was very forced, and the tone was full of sourness.
"My uncle taught me well!"
The victorious disciples from the side branch were extremely happy in their hearts, but of course they would not show it on their faces. They still had to give face to the eldest son of the direct lineage.
"I'm afraid it's not just the result of my uncle's teachings!"
Young Master Zhao pointedly said: "I heard that the pills produced in Valley Manor are very effective. Can my cousin always enjoy them?"
"How can it be?"
The disciples from the side branch categorically rejected it, shaking their heads and saying: "It's just two pills a month. Even if I have money, I may not be able to buy it!"
Of course, there is no need to mention the pills, as well as medicinal wine and ointments that are quite effective, obtained through other channels.
"Then cousin, can you tell me how your cultivation level has improved so quickly?"
Young Master Zhao lost his temper and asked directly: "See if I can get some benefit from it?"
"My cousin is joking!"
The disciple from the side branch smiled and said: "Maybe it's because the martial arts here in the valley is at its peak. We can often find experts of comparable strength to compete with each other, and we can also get guidance from my cousin!"
"Is it possible that there are not many experts like my cousin here at Valley Manor who are as good as the peak of Anjin?"
Young Master Zhao was unhappy, his expression was not very good, and his tone was a little unkind: "My cousin is trying to trick me, right?"
"How can it be?"
The disciples from the side branch were not angry either, and said with a smile: "The several cousins who are stationed here are all about the same strength, so there will be no trouble in daily exchanges and exchanges!"
"Also, those beings from the Imperial Capital have dispatched capable manpower to be stationed on a permanent basis, and their strength is not bad either!"
"And the combined attack technique of the retired soldiers from the frontier army is no joke!"
He explained in detail here, but Young Master Zhao's face was quite ugly...
Damn, why do I feel more and more uncomfortable the more I listen to it?
Co-author, are his cousins who are stronger than him, many foreign experts, and even those retired soldiers from the border army stronger than him?
He doesn't believe this evil...
Young Master Zhao lost his temper and simply lived in a restaurant in the valley town instead of hanging out with a bunch of cousins from other places.
In the next half a month, while he was familiar with the situation in the valley, he actively participated in more high-end discussions and exchanges in the town.
I don’t know, I don’t know, I’m shocked when I understand...
Here, Chen Ying received a piece of news.
His elder brother Chen Wu has successfully completed the mission of encircling and suppressing the infiltrating barbarian cavalry and has recently returned to Beidicheng.
"Third Young Master, Second Young Master will not be able to bear it if he loses his temper!"
The news was reported by Hua Hong, whose delicate little face was full of worry.
"Nothing to worry about!"
Chen Ying said with a smile: "Most of the resources of the entire Zhenbei Palace are at his disposal, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
"The pills prepared by the third young master!"
Huahong said worriedly: "Who knows what the second young master might have in mind?"
Since arriving at Valley Manor, as she gradually took over the power of the manor's internal affairs, she understood better than outsiders that the pills produced in the manor still had a certain amount of efficacy.
Of course, she didn't know the quantity of pills produced each time, but looking at the third young master's handiwork, the quantity in each batch was definitely quite large.
Not to mention the economic value, just the fact that it can help the speed of Qi cultivation is quite remarkable, and can even be said to be jealous.
Although he has not practiced the Qi Heart Technique, judging from the reactions of the subordinates stationed by Xiong Gang and others, as well as the children of the Zhao family branch, the effect of the pills produced in the manor is absolutely amazing.
If the second young master Chen Wu were to find out, who knows what he would do with his proud temperament?
"That's my own business. Even if my father comes, I can't take it away, let alone my second brother!"
Chen Ying sneered: "If he is really shameless, I won't be polite!"
Even his father, Chen Longcheng, who is an innate master, has the confidence to try it, let alone Chen Wu, who has not yet reached the level of Dacheng in his acquired cultivation.
At this moment, it was not the time when his soul had just passed through...
The resources of the Zhenbei Gongfu can be dispensed with, but the Gongfu cannot even think of taking away the valley manor that he runs. There is no way to do so.
pity……
Chen Ying’s understanding of Zhenbei Gongfu is worse than that of Huahong, a maid!
It's not that he doesn't understand the nature of nobles. He has seen it quite clearly in the world of Red Mansions, and Zhenbei Palace is no exception.
But in terms of understanding of Zhenbei Gongfu, Chen Ying, an ordinary and transparent person, is far inferior to the numerous bonuses of the little sisters.
Even though the mistress of the princess looks dignified and gentle all day long, anyone who really thinks she has a gentle temper will definitely suffer a big loss.
Moreover, the mistress of the palace was devoted to her two legitimate sons and wanted to give all the good things to her two legitimate sons. If possible, it would not be unusual to seize the Valley Manor from Chen Ying's hands.
She didn't think that the third young master Chen Ying could withstand the pressure from the mistress of the princess...
Chen Ying smiled and said nothing more. He was determined that things would not develop to that point.
From what he knew about his second brother Chen Wu, he was very proud and did not even bother to snatch anything from the hands of his concubine Chen Ying, nor could he save the dignity to do such a thing.
Of course, if such a situation really arises, he will not give in easily.
At the moment, the only people in the entire Beidi City who can make him fearful are Chen Longcheng and Xiong Gang. As for the mistress and second brother of the Duke's Palace, their status is extremely high, but their deterrent power is seriously insufficient.
In the North, big fists are the last word!
If the mistress of the palace and the second brother did not have an overwhelming advantage in strength, once a conflict broke out with Chen Ying, it would definitely be their mother and son who would be disgraced and unlucky in the end.
…
Naturally, Chen Wu, who was being talked about by Chen Ying and maid Hua Hong, would not be in a good mood at this time.
I happily returned home after having accomplished my meritorious service, only to hear news that was like a bolt from the blue.
When his fourth brother entertained the disciples from the Northern Territory on his behalf, he suddenly revealed his rather tyrannical strength and had actually become an acquired master with access to the four extraordinary meridians and eight meridians!
This shocking news suddenly swept away the joy in his heart...
Whenever he thinks about his fourth brother, who is six or seven years younger than him, but only has two special meridians and eight meridians in terms of Qi cultivation, he feels depressed.
When he suddenly heard the news, the smile on his face was stiff, and he couldn't maintain the expression on his face at all, and his face turned dark immediately.
"My son doesn't need to be like this!"
The mistress of the palace hurriedly comforted him: "The fourth child just got lucky and relied on pills with unknown side effects to forcibly improve him!"
"What pill?"
Chen Wu was stunned and said in confusion: "If there is such a pill, it is extremely precious and cannot be afforded by the fourth child!"
In my heart, I thought this was the work of the Zhao family, and a sudden anger arose, thinking that the Zhao family's behavior was too much.
"Isn't it just something that the third child came up with?"
Speaking of this, the face of the mistress of the palace was not very good, and she said coldly: "There are mutated ferocious birds and beasts in the Snowy Mountains. Some of them are powerful and even have the strength comparable to Danjin warriors. The third child relies on their flesh and blood."
I brewed a pill with amazing effects!"
"Mother, what does this have to do with the third child?"
Chen Wu was quite puzzled. In his impression, the third child had no impression at all. He was just a poor guy without a mother to take care of him.
"Humph, the third child is quite talented in miscellaneous studies, and he was shocked when he came up with such a thing!"
The mistress of the palace sneered: "This guy set up a village on the edge of the Snowy Mountains, and he somehow managed to tinker with pills that can help with Qi cultivation. The most annoying thing is that this guy has been hiding it all!"
"Now that we know it was his handiwork, why doesn't mother let the third child be responsible for brewing such pills in the house?"
Chen Wu disagreed and said carelessly: "I happen to have encountered a bottleneck in my practice. I don't know if I can rely on the effect of pills to break through the Ren and Du meridians in one breath?"
This guy's thoughts were exactly the same as when the mistress of the princess first heard about it. He didn't care at all about the opinions and thoughts of Chen Ying, the third brother, and was very domineering.
"Hmph, how can he, a newcomer to the pharmacist profession, compare to those old pharmacists?"
The mistress of the palace waved her hands and said disdainfully: "The palace is hiring a famous pharmacist to prepare precious medicines based on ancient recipes. Your share will naturally be indispensable when the time comes!"
"Thank you very much, mother!"
Chen Wu laughed, with a satisfied look on his face.
At this moment, news came from outside that the fourth young master had returned home.
When Chen Wu heard the news, he stood up and said directly: "I happened to have nothing to do, so I went to find my fourth brother to compete and see how his cultivation is. I will feel uneasy if I don't know..."
