Chapter 310: Shang Hongxue's Advancement, the Might of the Flying Immortal Body

Shang Clan.

Jiang Luolan oddly looked at her husband; as soon as he returned home he said he wanted to stay a few days on Longshe Shan—but that's Longshe Shan, not the Shang Clan's, and you can't stay however long you wish.

Longshe Shan is the Chen Clan's core territory—not just anyone can enter, even their own kin can't approach lightly; as an outsider, how could he be allowed to stay that long? If Chen Chuyang weren't his son‑in‑law, going to Longshe Shan would be unlikely.

Without Chen Chuyang's permission, intruding on Longshe Shan ends in death.

"Are you sure you're not dreaming? You want to stay a few days on Longshe Shan—does Chen Yuan have no objection?"

"Besides, does your son‑in‑law allow you to stay that many days?"

Jiang Luolan must wake her husband up, stop him from dreaming and from wild thoughts.

Shang Yingnian took his wife's hand, solemnly saying: "I really need to go once; I feel the hope for my condensed pill lies on Longshe Shan—I must go."

Firm and indisputable.

Longshe Shan—he has decided to go.

Jiang Luolan reached out and touched her husband's forehead to test his temperature, then touched her own.

"You're not sick—why would you say such a thing?"

Shang Yingnian said speechlessly: "I'm serious, not joking."

"Husband, Longshe Shan isn't somewhere you can just go whenever you want—do you think Chen Yuan would let you keep going there?"

"The first few times they turned a blind eye, but later they won't easily let you go up, nor let you easily enter Longshe Shan's interior."

"If you keep going, what will Hongxue do?"

Jiang Luolan pulled her husband, preventing him from going mad.

Their daughter married over—she's now a member of the Chen Clan.

If they keep going, it will make things difficult for their daughter.

Shang Yingnian took a deep breath and then repeated what he and Chen Yuan had said today.

After speaking, Shang Yingnian said deeply: "Now you understand? Chen Yuan hopes we go to Longshe Shan, break through soon, then lead the Shang Clan to rise, leave Longshe Cheng, and expand the Chen Clan's controlled area."

"We Shang Clan must leave Longshe Cheng early—this cannot be changed."

After the Chen Clan rises, Shang Yingnian has had this idea more than once; before he thought it too dangerous and dared not act.

This time, after meeting Chen Yuan, they discussed the matter; the Chen Clan is willing to help, the resource issue will slightly favor the Chen Clan—in fact, it favors Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang obtained the resources, and will eventually feed them back to the Shang Clan.

This is mutually beneficial; the Shang Clan is very willing to do it.

The controllable territory will increase, and the risk will drop by at least seventy percent—why not?

The Shang Clan staying in Longshe Cheng makes rising impossible.

This exactly matches the view of part of the Shang Clan, and it's also what Shang Yingnian thinks.

"Did Chen Yuan really say that?"

"Mm."

Shang Yingnian said solemnly: "His idea coincides with mine; the Shang Clan's way out is absolutely not Longshe Cheng—Longshe Cheng's resources are basically scarce, and if the two clans stay there, sooner or later we'll fight over resources."

"The Chen Clan is far stronger than us; the Shang Clan only has this path. Before I couldn't make up my mind, but this time we might cooperate with the Chen Clan, divide the several towns near Longshe Cheng, and if we can control enough territory, the Shang Clan could also rise quickly."

"With territory and resources, our son‑in‑law can refine pills and turn them into strength—don't you think that's great?"

The Great Qi Dynasty will eventually fall into chaos; taking advantage of this time, they must early on secure their territory.

This cannot be delayed.

If the two clans cooperate, they can seize more resources—why not?

Any clan's rise requires territory and resources.

The Chen Clan's ambition is not small; the Shang Clan is no different.

Jiang Luolan walked back and forth for a long time, then stopped and looked at her husband.

"Husband, are you sure? This road will be hard; if we fail, the Shang Clan will——"

Shang Yingnian said firmly: "I've decided; he Chen Yuan isn't afraid, so why should I be?"

"Cooperating with the Chen Clan brings a hundred benefits and no harm; you know Chen Yuan's character—if you can't trust him, can you not trust Chen Chuyang either?"

This benefits both sides.

Expansion requires fighting—this is unavoidable.

When they cooperate, none of the nearby towns or clans can match them.

Shang Yingnian has long had ideas about those clans, but held back by their strength and the Great Qi Dynasty, unable to act.

If the Yin Gui Sect makes a move, they'd follow behind—wouldn't they?

This is feasible.

"Then let's do it."

Jiang Luolan has made up her mind; at such a time she will surely stand by her husband's side.

No matter what Shang Yingnian does, she will support him.

"Win or lose, we'll go crazy together."

"Good."

Shang Yingnian felt moved inside, embraced his wife, and at this moment he felt no fear.

On Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang emerged from seclusion.

He refined a batch of Dragon Blood Pills, enough for a period of time, and also refined a batch of the old Dragon Blood Pills—quite a number.

After upgrading, the Dragon Blood Pill reached third grade, its effect astonishing; others cannot use it, only this way.

The first thing is to put some Wild Dragon Snake flesh into the Ascending Dragon Pool to speed its recovery.

Then he took out the Alchemy Furnace and placed it in front.

Hongxue, go in.

Yes.

Shang Hongxue skillfully entered the Alchemy Furnace and sat cross-legged; her Cultivation had reached a critical point, needing a breakthrough.

Chen Chuyang had been waiting for this day, deliberately delaying his exit from seclusion.

Pill Fire burned, covering Shang Hongxue.

Formation activated, the burning will last for a period of time.

After doing all this, Chen Chuyang stared at the Ascending Dragon Pool and began to alter the liquids inside it.

The liquid's effect was very strong, not something Shang Hongxue could digest.

He slightly manipulated the Ascending Dragon Pool, altering it a bit.

He is the master of the Ascending Dragon Pool, understands everything about it.

This alteration takes three days.

For three days, Shang Hongxue remained inside the Alchemy Furnace, completely still.

Hum.

Suddenly, the Alchemy Furnace shuddered, and inside Shang Hongxue's body erupted a terrifying fluctuation.

A majestic aura spread out.

Chen Chuyang activated the Formation with both hands, covering the surroundings.

The Alchemy Furnace's fire intensified, burning Shang Hongxue.

Shang Hongxue's body turned red, her clothes burned away, leaving her covered in the flowing light of Spiritual Artifacts.

Covering her beautiful figure, Chen Chuyang glanced and nodded in satisfaction.

This girl has grown up again.

After a period of time, a change occurs.

The change is great.

The Cultivation's continual awakening and mastery made her body change greatly compared to before.

Regarding this, Chen Chuyang was very satisfied.

Compared to before, it has improved greatly, already considerable in scale.

Half a day later.

The Alchemy Furnace emitted violent vibrations.

Shang Hongxue's cultivation erupted again.

Hum.
