Yang Chen smiled and shook his head.
“If my guess is correct, the information that the Li family has investigated is limited to the sixth rank forces.”
“That’s right.” Master Li nodded.” What’s wrong with that?” After all, our target is only these Rank-6 forces. Isn’t it appropriate to investigate them?”
“That’s true, but if we only target the Rank-6 forces and don’t investigate the forces below, isn’t Master Li afraid of an accident?”
“For example, a certain rank-7 force is a vassal of a rank-6 force on the surface, but in fact, it is controlled by the dynasty.”
“Moreover, the main purpose of our trip is to earn spirit stones. The spirit stones that these seventh and eighth grade cultivators can contribute are not any less than those of the sixth grade.”
“Listening to one side is dark, and listening to both sides is clear. Patriarch Li, to do great things, you still have to understand information from many aspects.”Yang Chen smiled.
“If you listen to one side, it will be dark. If you listen to both sides, it will be clear.”
“If you listen to one side, it will be dark. If you listen to both sides, it will be clear…”
The Li Family Head kept muttering Chen Yang’s words. After a while, his eyes revealed admiration,” Chen Family Head, everyone says that your wisdom far exceeds your talent.””
“I didn’t believe it back then, but now it seems that there’s no need for a scholar to be famous.”
This time, the Li family head admired Chen Yang from the bottom of his heart. If it was anyone else, they wouldn’t have thought too much and would have followed the Li family wholeheartedly after the Li family had made such ample preparations.
However, Yang Chen was able to think from another perspective.
Of course, the most important thing was that the Chen family had the confidence to think about the problem from another perspective.
This was because the alliance between the Chen family and the Li family was not an alliance to curry favor, but an alliance of equals.
Under the conditions of this equal alliance, the Chen family could think about problems from all aspects and not blindly follow the Li family’s footsteps.
“If that’s the case, then our Li family will wait a few more years. When the time comes, we’ll be fully prepared and fight until Dynasty has no chance to retaliate!”
“By the way, please forgive me for asking. What is the method the Chen family uses to obtain information?”Master Li asked.
” It’s very simple. I sent out a caravan to open up a trade route. The task of gathering information naturally fell on the pioneers.’Yang Chen said.
“Oh.”
The Li Family Head was a little worried.” Family Head Chen, your actions this time are too rash. The Endless Mountains are filled with danger. If you rashly send out a caravan, I’m afraid that all of them will die inside.”
“Thank you for your concern, Patriarch Li.”
Yang Chen smiled.” I’ve already made preparations for safety. I’m confident that the caravan will return safely.””
“Is that so?”
The worry on Master Li’s face didn’t lessen.” Master Chen, even I don’t have the confidence to bring the caravan back safely. What confidence does the Chen family have?”
“You have to know that I’ve cultivated to the late stage of the stage.”
“The Li Family Head is indeed powerful, but sometimes, strength can’t solve everything. For example, I chose a demon beast at the peak of the intermediate stage of the demon emperor realm to guard the caravan.”
“To put it bluntly, Patriarch Li, you’re not as good as that demon beast at the peak of the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor Realm when it comes to guarding the caravan.”Yang Chen smiled.
Hearing this, the Li Family Head was stunned. He immediately said enviously,’! didn’t expect that Patriarch Li could control a demon beast at the peak of the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor Realm.”
The Li family head was jealous.
Even the Li family couldn’t control a demon beast at the peak of the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor Realm.
Of course, if the Li family really made up their mind to refine a demon beast at the peak of the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor Realm, it would not be a problem.
However, that would not be a demonic beast, but a subdued beast.
From Yang Chen’s words, the Li Family Head could tell that the Monster Emperor that was obeying Yang Chen’s orders wasn’t a familiar.
Although demonic beasts and subdued beasts were only one word apart, the difference between them was huge.
It wasn’t that easy to make a demonic beast listen to a human’s orders like a subdued beast.
At the very least, the Li family could not do it yet.
But now, the Chen family could command the Demon Emperor..
It seems that the Chen family is far more mysterious than I imagined.
Hiding the envy in his eyes, Master Li smiled and said,’”‘With the help of the Chen Clan Leader, our plan will definitely succeed.”
“Then let’s congratulate our operation in advance.’Yang Chen smiled.
After bidding farewell to the Li family, Chen Yang returned to the Chen family and focused on building the Purple Mansion according to the Purple Mansion manual that Shen Qiyu had left behind.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.
In the past four years, the strength of the Chen family had still steadily increased. The strength of the elders had generally reached the late stage of Pulse Unsealing. The First Elder had already begun to try to break through to the Core Formation realm.
As for the clansmen of Chen Yang’s generation, they were all about the same. Other than Chen Xiao, all of them had broken through to the late stage of Pulse Unsealing and were preparing to break through to Core Formation.
As for Chen Xiao, he had long broken through to the Core Formation realm.
These preparations were not that simple. Firstly, there was the shackle of talent. The talent of the Chen family members was generally low. If they wanted to break through to the Core Formation realm, they would need at least a seventh grade talent. This also meant that the Chen family needed a large number of spirit stones to purchase a seventh grade talent pill.
Of course, the Chen family had spirit stones, but the main reason was that there were not many sources of Level 7 Aptitude Pills. This was also the reason why Yang Chen was eager to open up a trade route.
The grade-7 aptitude pill could still be solved in the Endless Mountain Range. It just needed a little more time.
However, the Endless Mountain Range could not solve the problem of grade-6 and grade-5 aptitude pills.
Yang Chen didn’t want his people to remain in the Core Formation Stage, so he had to open up a trade route no matter what.
In the meeting hall.
Yang Chen had just finished his cultivation and came to the meeting hall to deal with the family affairs.
This had already become a habit. Yang Chen cultivated in the morning while the Great Elder presided over the overall situation.
In the afternoon, the Great Elder cultivated while Yang Chen presided over the overall situation.
What surprised Yang Chen was that the Great Elder should have gone to cultivate, but he didn’t expect that the Great Elder would return not long after he left. He still had an unconcealable excitement on his face.
“Patriarch, you’re back!”
“You’re back?” Yang Chen was confused.” What?”
“The caravan, the caravan is back!”
“The caravan is back!”
Chen Yang suddenly stood up and followed Chen Xuan to the border of the Endless Mountain Range outside Chen City.
At the border of the Endless Mountain Range, Chen Yang looked at the caravan that was covered in dust. He walked up excitedly and held Zhou Mou’s hand.” Senior Brother, it’s been hard on you guys along the way.’”‘
“What are you saying, Junior Brother?” Zhou Mou smiled and said,”I still have to thank Shidi for giving me the opportunity to go out and explore.’”‘
“Junior brother, you don’t know how exciting this journey was. If we weren’t lucky enough to find a shortcut, I’m afraid we would still be wandering around the Endless Mountains.”
“Oh?”
Yang Chen’s interest was piqued.” Come, let’s go back. Senior Brother, tell me about it.’”‘
Immediately, Yang Chen led the caravan back to Chen City.
After arriving at Chen City, Chen Yang first asked Chen Xuan to settle the people in the merchant group. Chen Yang himself pulled Zhou Mou and his wife into the reception hall.
In the guest hall, Zhou Mou held the hot tea from the Chen family and said with some emotion,’! didn’t like drinking tea much in the past.”
“But now that I’ve returned, this tea has a different taste.”
“Senior brother, what you’re drinking isn’t tea, but a kind of longing for your hometown.”Yang Chen smiled.
“Do you miss her?”
Zhou Mou carefully examined it for a moment before smiling.”Yes, I miss you.”
“Alright, don’t be emotional. Junior Brother, if you have anything to ask, just ask.”
Hearing this, Yang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately asked,’”‘Senior Brother, what is the shortcut you mentioned?”
“According to my judgment, you will need at least twenty years to return. Now, you have successfully returned after only ten years.”
“Speaking of which, this is a little strange. I don’t know if it’s considered a shortcut. I only know that we walked in that forest for a day. When we got out, we realized that we had crossed a total of 50,000 miles.”
“After we returned, we entered the forest again. When we came out, we found that we had only passed a hundred miles, which was the distance to the dense forest.“Zhou Mou said..
