Chapter 64: The Great Harvest After the War
……
"Chen Mo, these spoils of war belong to you."
Several days later, Chen Mo, who was reunited with his family, was summoned by the clan leader Chen Zhengfeng and the Supreme Elder.
The Taishang Elder's injuries had not healed, especially that lone arm would never be restored. Yet his face was filled with radiance and vitality, as he gazed at Chen Mo with a benevolent and admiring gaze. He handed over a ring.
Chen Mo took the ring and examined it carefully, only to see that although the ring's design was simple, it was thick and heavy with some mysterious and obscure patterns, and when touched, it felt slightly cool.
"This, this is a storage ring?" Chen Mo's breathing stopped, and his eyes widened in surprise as he stammered: "Elder Taishang, t-this is for me?" He was also puzzled in his heart, wasn't the storage ring only used by the clan leader?
As they spoke, her gaze fell on Chen Zhengfeng's hand and saw that he was wearing a ring on his finger.
"Hey kid, what's on your mind?" Chen Zhengfeng chuckled and playfully slapped him on the head with a peach pit. "This storage ring belongs to Chen Deshui, that traitor. He was killed by you, so according to the rules, the spoils of war naturally belong to you. Alright, stop grinning like an idiot and try it on quickly!"
Chen Mo was overjoyed and surprised, never expecting that killing Chen De Shui would bring such a good fortune. It's said that a storage ring starts at a price of one or two hundred thousand gold coins. In this lifetime, not to mention owning one, he hadn't even touched one before.
He hastily put it on his hand, looking left and right, as if he had become much more handsome instantly.
After a round of guidance from Chen Zhengfeng, Chen Mo finally learned to open the storage ring. In a daze, his consciousness seemed to see an independent space sealed in the ring.
The space is not large, with a length, width and height of only three feet.
Even so, this is also a rare treasure. Moreover, in the ring, there are not only empty things, but also some bottles and jars, as well as several secret books.
With the newly learned method, he took out the jade bottle, opened it and looked inside. A refreshing fragrance wafted up to his nose. To his surprise, there was a three-grade Dan medicine of extraordinary value inside, and several more of similar quality.
Among those few secret books, they were all high-level cultivation methods of ordinary goods. One of them was actually a low-level spiritual product cultivation method, "Cold Spirit Incantation". After flipping through this incantation, it was indeed extremely mysterious and powerful.
After mastering it, it will definitely not be inferior to Chen's Canglang Fist.
Seeing Chen Mo so satisfied, Chen Zhengfeng and the Taishang Elder also nodded in satisfaction. After all, if it weren't for Chen Mo this time, the family would have been destroyed long ago. Moreover, judging from his appearance, Chen Mo's potential was boundless, and his future prospects were immeasurable.
Even if he will soar high in the future, he is still a member of the Chen family and the pillar of the Chen family.
"Chen Mo, these are just a part of your spoils." Chen Zhengfeng took out a booklet and said seriously: "After discussion by the family's high-level executives, it was unanimously decided that all properties under Chen Deshui's name would be transferred to your name. Of course, the family contributions you owe will still be deducted from them."
Chen Mo was stunned, never expecting his family would go all out like this.
As one of the three elders, Chen De Shui controlled various external income and expenses of the Chen family, plus the mysterious organization he relied on, had accumulated countless wealth over the years.
To be honest, his mansion is far better than that of Chen Zhengfeng, the clan leader. This is something that many people are envious of.
The most valuable thing is probably that dozens of acres of spiritual fields. Every year's output can bring a lot of resources to the family.
That's not important, what's important is that in those spiritual fields, a large part of them were originally the assets of my uncle. Now, all of a sudden, both the principal and interest have been recovered.
Chen Mo sat there, dazed for a long time.
All the humiliation and suffering over the years seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"Head of the clan, I would like to ask you to transfer all of Chen Deshui's assets to my elder brother Chen Hao." Chen Mo said calmly.
When he said this, Chen Mo's eyes were clear and agile, without any greed. Big brother sacrificed too much for himself. In the future, I must give him a good life.
Now that I have the Great Brightness Divine Technique, my future prospects are definitely not in the Chen family. Moreover, the letter of recommendation left to me by Old Man Hua is actually a stepping stone to Longchun Valley.
It is known that Changchun Valley is a sacred place on high. Even the three major sects and the imperial family flock to it.
"Good kid, you have feelings and righteousness. We indeed didn't misjudge you." Chen Zhengfeng's eyebrows rose in satisfaction, and he nodded his head in relief, appreciating Chen Mo even more.
A junior's descendants, potential and ability are important, but character is the most indispensable.
"Chen Mo, since you have made such great contributions to the family, the family cannot treat you unfairly." The Supreme Elder waved his hand and said: "500,000 contribution points, whatever is available in the family, choose as you like."
50,000 contribution points? Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat; this was equivalent to at least 1.5 million taels of gold.
"Mo Er, don't be dissatisfied with the little we have." Chen Zhengfeng said with a hint of embarrassment: "Our Chen family is a small clan, and resources have always been scarce. Moreover, many elite disciples died in this battle, and they need to be compensated..."
"Head of the clan, the eldest elder." Chen Mo hastily stood up and said: "That's enough, if you say more, I will also feel uneasy in my heart. Our Chen family lacks resources, there are many places to spend money."
Seeing Chen Mo being so sensible, Chen Zhengfeng and the Supreme Elder exchanged a glance, as if they had made some kind of decision.
Only to see the Taishang elder's face turned solemn as he took out a pure white and crystal-like jade ring.
Chen Mo glanced over and his eyes suddenly jumped, but he remained expressionless, then asked.
"What is this thing, Taishang Laojun?"
"This jade ring was passed down by our ancestors and is said to be an extraordinary object, related to the Thunderbolt Three Forms within our clan. However, for many years, no one has been able to decipher its secrets." The elderly elder sighed and said, "This time, what Qiu Muqing is after is precisely this object."
Chen Mo took the jade ring, feeling its warmth and smoothness. Inside, it was exceptionally clear and clean, but this edge had obvious defects and irregularities, as well as dense and delicate patterns. Suddenly, a thread of extremely desolate and wild meaning flashed through his mind, as if it had entered his body.
"This..." Chen Mo was stunned, this jade ring was exactly the same as the one he had obtained in the unnamed mountain cave last time, containing the artistic conception of Taohuang Thunder Path.
"Chen Mo, you will be competing with Qu Mu Qing in a year's time. Our family is poor and can't afford to support you with good things. This jade ring, I'll entrust it to you for safekeeping. With your innate talent and temperament, who knows what you might come to understand." The elderly Zheng said solemnly: "Just be sure to keep it well, this is something our Chen family's ancestors left behind."
To this, Chen was dazed and nodded repeatedly.
After saying this, I bid you farewell.
After returning home, Chen Mo took out another jade pendant, which had a faint lotus petal shape. Compared to the one from his family, it was unclear whether it was fate or coincidence that these two objects could be perfectly matched on one side!
"Pa." A small, light sound. Just as the two jade pieces were about to come together, a sudden burst of suction force appeared, and Chen Mo immediately felt something was off on his body. At the same time as the suction force pulled him in, more than half of the abundant Xuan Qi on his body was suddenly sucked away, shocking him so much that he threw the jade piece away.
It wasn't until he had calmed down for a while that he approached the jade piece again, only to discover something even more astonishing - the two pieces of jade had merged into one, and the seam where they were joined was gone!
What's going on? Chen Mo found that the jade ring was even more warm and lustrous than before. When his fingers touched the jade ring, a surge of ancient and desolate aura rushed into his body through his hand.
In an instant, he stood still on the spot, as if his soul had left him, and it was a while before he came to.
An unprecedented aura emanated from him, faintly and obscurely, with a desolate and ancient air. It was as if there were thunderstorms raging inside his body, yet he stood still like a mountain.
He suddenly opened his eyes, then threw a punch, as if everything was going smoothly. The fist left a residual shadow in the air, and all that could be heard was a "bang" sound, like a small explosion, and a gust of wind rose inexplicably in the air.
"Too wild and reckless." The five words slowly escaped his mouth, mixed with a hint of thunder, and from this moment on, that aura gradually spread out from his body, as if he was the source.
Now that the two jade rings have merged, he was sucked into more than half of the mysterious energy, and what he got was a strand of Ta Huang's Thunder Fist intent, while what he had originally comprehended in the mountain cave was only a thread compared to it.
It is true that greed will lead to indigestion. Just these few boxing intentions are enough for you to slowly digest and ponder.
For the life-and-death battle a year later, Chen Mo had many things to do.
He hastily exchanged all 500,000 contribution points for spiritual medicine or spiritual pellets.
Now that resources are abundant, the top priority for upgrading is naturally the sapling of the Radiant Divine Tree. It has been suppressed too much all along.
It was just that the foodie was really terrifying, and it took up a full 40% of all spiritual medicine resources to fully unfold the third leaf. This made Chen Mo feel heartbroken, but fortunately, the tender branch now had some small sapling shape after growing the third leaf, and it had become much stronger.
To treat his brother himself increased confidence.
Couldn't wait to pull Chen Hao into the room, along with some medicinal pills, and started treating him again.
After spending a whole day and exhausting all his energy, Chen Mo barely managed to help Big Brother heal his Qi Hai.
When the big brother felt the air machine in his dantian for the first time in nearly three years, he was excited and shouted uncontrollably, with tears streaming down. It was also the first time I saw him cry.
In the following days, Chen Mo rarely practiced and instead calmed his mind, accompanying his family.
Chen Mo's sudden silence seemed to make everyone in the family aware of something, but no one dared to mention it, so as not to destroy this rare and extremely short-lived peace.
On the third night, Hu Lingping gently pushed open Chen Mo's door and looked at Chen Mo who was sleeping soundly. She felt slightly relieved and then quietly closed the door and walked back to her own room.
Feeling the footsteps of the old woman had long since disappeared, Chen Mo, who was in a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes and sat up.
Simply packed a few clothes, looked at the room where I had lived for over a decade, closed my eyes until it was deeply imprinted in my mind, let out a sigh, pushed open the door, didn't disturb anyone, and quietly left.
