Chapter 937: Grandmother Long Zetian

Jiang Luolan and Shang Yingnian stayed on the mountain for one day, and descended the next morning.

Making sure the daughter had someone to look after her, they didn't need to stay on the mountain, so they didn't; Jiang Luolan originally wanted to stay, but Long Ming persuaded her to go down, saying that if she wanted to stay, she could come back after a month to take over.

Shang Hongxue's arrangements for the coming year have all been made, so she doesn't need to worry.

In short, the point is not to let Hongxue suffer, after all she is Chen Chuyang and her first son, and also Long Ming's first grandchild, so naturally she should be treasured a bit more, not let them be wronged, especially Hongxue this great contributor, Long Ming truly likes this daughter-in-law and takes care of her wholeheartedly.

Chen Chuyang had no chance to intervene; food, clothing, housing, and travel were all handled by his mother Long Ming, so from then on his life became much easier, though still busy—aside from occasional cultivation, he just refined pills and occasionally gave pointers on Xiao Qian'er's pill-refining technique; since he didn't need to go into closed-door retreat, he naturally ought to do something useful.

Xiao Qian'er's pill-refining skill improved rapidly; she is a pill-refining material, with the materials Chen Chuyang provided, this girl began to independently refine other pills, already started, having received Chen Chuyang's guidance, her pill-refining skill improved rapidly.

"Xiao Qian'er, your pill-refining skill is quite good; first-grade pills are no longer a challenge for you, but you must not be arrogant, for first-grade pills are merely the simplest pills; once you have mastered all first-grade pills, can skillfully refine each kind without failure, you can then start advancing toward second-grade pills."

"Remember, pill-refining must not be rushed, nor can it be 'close enough'; mastery is mastery, lack of mastery is lack of mastery—even a slight shortfall is unacceptable."

"You must have complete mastery; the stronger the early foundation, the easier the later stages will feel."

Chen Chuyang again reminded Xiao Qian'er not to be anxious.

Pill-refining, the biggest taboo is haste; at any time, one must not be hasty.

Xiao Qian'er's temperament has not yet settled; she is still young, so whatever needs reminding should still be reminded.

"Yes, Master." Xiao Qian'er gained a lot and greatly enjoyed Chen Chuyang's guidance.

Such opportunities are rare, and she knows it.

Moreover, this time Xiao Qian'er has already seen the threshold of second-grade pill-refining; she can proceed toward this step and will soon become a second-grade pill refiner.

"Your talent is excellent; you are among the top pill refiners I have ever seen."

"Thank you for the praise, Master."

In fact, the pill refiners Chen Chuyang has seen are only the two of them, so naturally they are number one and two.

Xiao Qian'er is still kept in the dark, unaware of the specific situation.

After Chen Chuyang finished guiding Xiao Qian'er, he went to inspect his dragon-tooth rice and dragon-blood rice, which are crucial to Longshe Shan and also key to the Chen Clan's rise; after Longshe Shan expanded severalfold, the planting of dragon-blood rice and dragon-tooth rice expanded accordingly, increasing many times over compared to before.

Moreover, Liu Yuer takes good care of ensuring each harvest.

After the next harvest, the planting area for dragon-blood rice will still need to be expanded, making use of every usable spot on Longshe Shan; as long as Longshe Shan's spiritual energy is abundant and the spiritual spring water does not cease, the planting of dragon-blood rice and dragon-tooth rice will not stop.

Furthermore, many more spirit fruit trees have appeared on the mountain, with the numbers of various spirit fruit trees increasing, most of them brought in from outside.

Their grade is not low.

Longshe Shan already possesses the conditions of a blessed cave-heaven; Chen Chuyang toured it once and was very satisfied.

Spiritual medicines, spiritual rice, and spirit fruit trees were all inspected.

Naturally, he also had to check his treasures; they are growing well, requiring no worry from him.

By the way, he examined the white jade carp; this little carp has been undergoing advancement, not yet completed quickly.

Its body size gradually increased, doubling compared to its original size.

Ghost King Zhuge Gui's condition gradually improved; he couldn't restore his soul that quickly, even with pill assistance, he had to proceed step by step—his soul had dissipated, and wanting to restore it is not that easy.

Step by step repair, step by step recovery, requiring his own effort.

As his soul gradually recovered, Ghost King Zhuge Gui's changes gradually strengthened.

Chen Chuyang patted his shoulder and said satisfiedly, "Not bad; keep cultivating, strive to restore your soul as soon as possible—then you will be whole again."

Ghost King Zhuge Gui nodded foolishly.

Thus, the days on Longshe Shan passed quickly.

Chen Chuyang also obtained a relaxed month.

A month passed quietly; the son gradually grew up, his growth very good, all flesh, chubby, his essence and spirit abundant, taller and heavier than half-year-old infants, not looking like a newborn who just left the postpartum period.

Chen Chuyang held his son to bask in the sun; the son's special constitution was also protected, that mouthful of innate qi, Chen Chuyang protected it for him, preventing loss, sealing it inside his body.

Innate qi is extremely important; from the start, Chen Chuyang had already sealed it away.

To prevent his body from being contaminated, and constantly nourish his form with spiritual energy—this is the reason for the son's rapid growth.

Just like with his eldest son Qi Haoyang, he didn't spare... concern.

"As a father's good son, you must grow up healthy; when the time comes, help me with work."

The son opened his eyes and babbled at Chen Chuyang; though he couldn't speak yet, he wanted to resist, not wanting to work.

Shang Hongxue puffed out a laugh: "Chuyang brother, he's only one month old, and you already want him to help you work—you really are his biological father."

"Hahaha, children need education from a young age, and also need to work from a young age."

"If mother heard that, she would definitely scold you."

"What's there to fear." Chen Chuyang, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, fears nothing whoever comes, and still bows his head to indoctrinate his son.

Shang Hongxue was speechless, having nothing to say to this husband.

"My good son, we've agreed that from now on, all the work on Longshe Shan will be handed to you; if you agree, just smile."

The son stared solemnly at Chen Chuyang, not smiling, seeming to understand.

Seeing this, Shang Hongxue pointed at Chen Chuyang and burst out laughing: "Hahaha."

Chen Chuyang felt embarrassed.

The son gave him no face, actually humiliating him like this—truly outrageous.

"You, now that you're a father, are still just like before." Shang Hongxue gave Chen Chuyang a white-eyed glance and took over the child.

At that moment, mother Long Ming came over holding something delicious, again chicken soup; Shang Hongxue immediately froze, her smile disappearing.

She looked at Chen Chuyang, who indicated he was powerless.

"Hongxue, don't look at Chuyang; hurry up and drink this bowl of soup, and eat all this meat as well."

"Besides, there are many spirit chickens; you must finish them all."

Shang Hongxue really wanted to refuse; this past month, it's been eating chicken, eating chicken, or if not chicken then drinking fish soup.

She was truly afraid; seeing spirit chicken soup, she just wanted to refuse.

But she could not refuse; she could only grit her teeth and drink it down.

Longshe Cheng.

At the gate of the Chen Clan, an elderly woman arrived.

As soon as she arrived at the Chen Clan's gate, she immediately caused a commotion within the Chen Clan.
