Chapter 192: Liu Family

"No matter what, since there's an immortal seed, there's hope."The head of the Liu family sighed and spoke in this way.

He didn't blame the subordinates too much.

On the one hand, he had a good temper, and on the other hand, he knew that the stewards below didn't really have any good solutions.

An immortal seed appeared there, but these people really dared to stop them from leaving?

Joking!

Not to mention that the other party had extraordinary temperament, obviously a person with insights and background, even if the other party really had no background, so what?

Grade B talent, probably will become an immortal in the future, dare to offend the other party today, the other party just needs to say a word and can take the lives of your whole family in the future.

Who would dare to stop it.

Moreover, as cunning as he was, he naturally understood the deep meaning of Chen An's actions.

After all, everyone was old foxes, and how could anyone be fooled by Chen An's reasons.

But knowing was one thing, and what needed to be done was still to be done.

No way.

After all, it was about life.

"Bring the person up to me."

He pondered for a moment, then spoke.

The few people below nodded.

So quickly, someone came up from below.

It was not someone else, it was a young man who looked very elegant, and he was also an old acquaintance of Chen An.

Yes, it was Liu Jian.

At this moment, Liu Jian really looked very confident, very pleased, looking very pleased.

Looking like this, he had been living well during this period.

Of course, it was actually the case.

"See the head of the family."

Liu Jian walked slowly forward, looking at the many old men of the Liu family in front of him, with a calm face, a very calm and composed appearance.

Of course, in reality, he was still nervous, but he also knew that being nervous in this situation would not change the outcome, so he might as well stay like this.

After all, as long as this matter was done, he would be a great contributor to the Liu family, and after that, even the legitimate sons and daughters of the family would not dare to underestimate him, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Is the situation you mentioned true?"

Looking at the approaching Liu Jian, the head of the Liu family spoke softly and asked.

"Of course, it is true."

Feeling the gaze of the head of the Liu family, Liu Jian immediately lowered his head, his face showing a respectful expression: "How dare this one deceive the head of the family and the elders?"

"That immortal seed does have the intention of joining our Liu family."

With these words, the people around immediately showed joy.

"Good, good, good."

The head of the Liu family said three good words in a row, then smiled, "In your opinion, what conditions does he have?"

"The conditions are hard to say, but as long as the head of the family is willing to provide strong support, I believe Master Chen would also be willing to join our Liu family."

Liu Jian said respectfully.

The head of the Liu family suddenly felt a headache.

What do you mean by strong support?

If you really have sincerity, why not just name a price!

This kind of ambiguity, are you really asking us to bleed heavily?

Hearing Liu Jian's words, the elders of the Liu family understood that they might have to pay a price for this.

Originally, if the other party didn't know the specifics and the market well, they might be able to easily deceive them with some random things.

But now it was less likely.

Liu Jian was still here.

Despite his respectful appearance, it was clear that he was an insider.

And this insider happened to be a member of the Liu family.

Although he was only from a collateral branch, he knew something about the Liu family's background and details, so it was not easy to deceive him.

Thinking of this, the head of the Liu family and the elders exchanged a glance, and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Is this Chen Master married?"

After a moment, an elder suddenly interjected, and began to inquire about Chen An's marital status.

Obviously, they were beginning to consider forming a marriage alliance.

But the answer they received was disappointing.

"He is already married."

Liu Jian's reply disappointed the people present.

Using marriage alliances to connect with talents has always been the common practice of these noble families.

No way.

Investments made by noble families also need certain guarantees.

If there is no marriage alliance as a guarantee, how can they ensure that what they have invested in can receive sufficient returns?

"However."

Liu Jian's tone changed, then continued, "Although Master Chen is already married, his wife should no longer be in this world, he just cherishes his deceased wife and has no intention of remarrying."

This statement was not fabricated by him on purpose, but a guess.

He had unintentionally probed Chen An earlier, and the response he got was that she was not in this world.

Of course she was not in this world living in another realm, it would be ridiculous.

But in Liu Jian's understanding, since she was not in this world, it meant that she was already dead.

So he came up with this explanation.

"Master Chen's wife has passed away, and as long as the head of the family is willing to provide support, with the cooperation between the two sides, and with some outstanding young Liu family women accompanying him, there is still hope."

Liu Jian started to continue to deceive.

It had to be done.

His position was already compromised, completely on Chen An's side, so he had to consider for Chen An.

Now that he could deceive a little more, his position in front of Chen An would be more secure in the future.

Sure enough, with this explanation, the eyes of the head of the Liu family and the elders of the Liu family lit up again.

In the end, they accepted this explanation.

No way.

An unfortunate fact was that they had to do everything they could to win over Chen An as an immortal seed, and they had to accept the huge price for it.

Otherwise, the days ahead would be difficult.

Liu Jian's explanation actually provided them with a step and a reason to convince themselves.

Liu Jian also understood this, so he was not worried that the head of the Liu family would not agree.

Time passed slowly, and soon several days passed.

Finally, on a clear morning, the head of the Liu family personally went to visit.

He had a long conversation with Chen An in his room, chatting for a long time, and then they left together.

After he left, Chen An stood up, nodding slightly satisfied.

It had to be said that Liu Jian's efforts had indeed paid off.

If it were not for his efforts, the Liu family might still come looking for him, but they probably would not have paid such a high price as they did now.

In the end, they reached a satisfactory agreement.

At least Chen An was satisfied.

"The name of Haoshan Sect sounds good."

Recalling the information revealed by the head of the Liu family, Chen An was quite satisfied.

After a moment, Liu Jian also followed, appearing anxious, his breathing somewhat hurried, seeming like he had rushed all the way here.

"How did it go?"

As soon as he arrived at Chen An's residence, he looked at Chen An with anticipation, as if he wanted to know the final result.

After Chen An informed him of the result, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Brother Chen, the head of the family really paid a heavy price this time."

He introduced himself to Chen An: "Our Liu family has been operating in Jiulin City for hundreds of years, and over the years we have sent many immortal seeds to Haoshan Sect. Although most of them died young, there are also some who have made great achievements, and our Liu family also has some connections with them."

"Brother Chen, with the support of the head of the family, you can directly use these connections after entering Haoshan Sect, which will be of great benefit to your future development."

He looked respectful, and it seemed like he was sincerely congratulating Chen An: "I congratulate Brother Chen here."

"Why be so polite between brothers."

Chen An smiled and personally helped Liu Jian up, emotionally saying, "If I become successful in the future, I will definitely lend a hand to Brother Liu."

"Your affairs in the future will be mine, Brother Liu's worries will be mine, this is the way of the world."

Liu Jian was overjoyed.

During this period of time, he had been running around, doing various operations, all for this promise.

After comforting Liu Jian, Chen An saw him off and then closed the door, deep in thought.

According to the head of the Liu family, he shouldn't have much to do in this period.

After the immortal seed was selected, they would not be sent away immediately, but would be sent to the Haoshan Sect at a designated time.

And now there was still more than a month until that time.

It was kind of relaxed.

During this time, Chen An felt that he might still be able to do something.

However, what exactly to do was worth considering.

"Forget it, let's continue to gather information."

After pondering for a moment, Chen An shook his head, and this thought crossed his mind.

Although he had been in this world for quite a few months now, he was still exploring the secrets of this world.

In addition, along the way, he had been searching for mysterious information.

Yes, mysterious.

No way.

Although his leveling up template had not been used for a long time, Chen An had not forgotten that it was his greatest asset for survival.

Without leveling up with the template, relying solely on his mediocre aptitude, he probably wouldn't be able to return alive.

To go back, he needed to level up using the template, and to level up, he needed to recharge.

To recharge, he needed to find a source of "pay to win".

In the world of Dahua, the source of "pay to win" was in those treasure troves.

In the world of Daliang, the source of "pay to win" was in those mysterious things.

But in this world

Chen An had been searching for a few months and had finally determined one thing.

There were probably no mysterious things in this world.

Or even if there were, they were probably extremely rare, negligible in quantity.

This was great news for the general public, but not so friendly to Chen An.

After all, his ability to progress was mainly dependent on dealing with mysterious things.

Without mysterious things, how could he pay to win, and how could he level up?

Alright, in fact, he could still do it.

The energy bar in the projection section was still slowly accumulating, but without the energy from mysterious things, the energy bar was now mainly accumulating naturally, which was extremely slow.

In general, he could simulate once in about a month, and on average could gain seven or eight of source power each time.

For Chen An at this point, this amount of source power was just a drop in the bucket, barely better than nothing.

Therefore, besides immersing himself in the practice sect, finding a new source of source power was a major problem that troubled Chen An.

And it was urgent.

Chen An was ready to continue exploring for information, to see if he could find a new source of source power.

But soon, he was disappointed.

After searching for over a month in Jiulin City, he still couldn't find any new sources of source power, just wasting time in vain.

Of course, he had not gained nothing.

At least the unnamed ancient scripture he obtained from Bai Qing was now completely understood by him.

Now Chen An's level had reached the point where he could easily connect with the nearby elemental energy.

This was not cheating, but completely achieved through his own efforts.

It was something to be celebrated.

But at this point, Chen An didn't know what to do next.

No way.

He was idle in his practice, and had no cultivation techniques.

If he were back in the world of Daliang, he could at least go hunt for some mysterious things in his spare time.

But coming to this world, he was deprived of even the freedom to hunt mysterious things.

It was truly pitiful.

Fortunately, he soon had something new to do.

Blinking an eye, more than a month had passed, and someone from the Liu family came to notify him to get ready to leave.

It was almost time to go to the Haoshan Sect.

This was good news for Chen An.

No way.

It was too boring here.

During this waiting time, he had been exploring for information in Jiulin City, using the Liu family's resources to browse some confidential information that was not known to outsiders.

This was one of the benefits of Chen An's cooperation with the Liu family.

Through the Liu family, he could learn many things that he couldn't inquire about before.

This was Chen An's way of adjusting his boredom.

Of course, the information from the Liu family was only relatively helpful.

After all, they were only related to practitioners, not actual practitioners, so their knowledge was limited.

Among the many noble families in Jiulin City, their background was not that deep, they were more of a younger generation among the noble families.

On this day, Chen An got up early and went to the Liu family hall.

Upon arriving, Chen An found that there were already people waiting inside for him.

They were two children who looked very young, barely ten years old, dressed in fancy clothes, but their faces showed some uneasiness, as if they were not used to the current atmosphere.

This situation surprised Chen An.

He looked at the two children in front of him, seeing them standing shakily there, seeming fearful and anxious, the emotions were directly written on their faces.

However, even in this situation, there was no one looking after them around, not even the servants passing by paid attention to them, treating them as if they were just passersby.

On the other hand, around Chen An, there were many people trying to please him, and even Liu Jian, the first minion, was following him closely as if he was afraid that Chen An would be unhappy about something.

It was an amazing difference for two immortal seeds, wasn't it so?

It seemed because they realized Chen An's doubts, Liu Jian whispered and explained, "Brother Chen may not know, although these two are immortal seeds that the head of the family has put a lot of effort to collect, they are the lowest quality with inferior aptitude, only bought from elsewhere by the head of the family just to complete the task."

Immortal seeds can actually be bought?

Chen An was suddenly stunned, and then he noticed that crucial phrase "inferior aptitude".

It seemed that in the world of practitioners, aptitude was more important than Chen An had imagined.

Just a slight difference in aptitude led to such different treatments.

Of course, after staying in the Liu family for a while, Chen An also understood the reason behind it.

An immortal seed was an immortal seed, but an immortal leader was an immortal leader.

Not every immortal seed had the chance to become an immortal leader.

For these immortal seeds with inferior aptitude, they might spend their whole lives at the stage of transporting elemental energy, destined to never become immortal leaders.

Their only purpose was to be used by noble families like the Liu family to meet their quotas.

But for someone like Chen An, it was different.

With a proud Grade B aptitude, as long as he cultivated diligently, becoming a practitioner in the future was almost certain.

In other words, his future prospects were vast, so naturally, everyone wanted to get close to him.

If his aptitude was slightly worse, even just like those two children, he would be treated differently.

The Liu family might not treat him as generously as they were now, and it was even possible that they would hand him over directly.

After all, with inferior aptitude, even in the sect of immortals, they were just consumables.

It was the harsh reality.

Chen An couldn't help but fall silent, then he could only turn around and look at the two children with some pity.

Even though he didn't know what these immortal seeds with inferior aptitude were needed for by those practice sects, Chen An could be sure that the future of these children probably wouldn't be too bright.

Time passed bit by bit.

After a while, the head of the Liu family appeared, accompanied by a group of elders.

These elders looked very old, but each one of them moved with agility, looking nothing like a normal elderly person.

Chen An pondered.

After this period of contact, he had discovered.

The ordinary people in the Liu family were fine, but important figures like the head of the Liu family and the elders all had some cultivation.

Of course, it was not cultivation of immortality, but martial cultivation.

They all had body forging cultivation, and some were even speculated to have reached the peak of body forging.

This was why they all moved so agilely, so robust, even though they were old, they were much stronger than ordinary people.

The only strange thing was that, though they had cultivation, none of them seemed to have practiced martial arts.

Even when Chen An previously asked indirectly, the head of the Liu family and others bluntly expressed their disdain for warriors, believing that only those who had nothing would practice martial arts.
