Zhou Honglang replied with disappointment:
"The Chen family rejected my request."
This answer surprised the others.
"How could that be? That's a paradise!"
"Could this be a pretext put forward by the Chen family in order to monopolize the blessed land? On the surface, they are not interested in the blessed land, but in fact they want to secretly inquire about the specific information of the blessed land."
Zhou Honglang shook his head:
"I didn't tell you where the blessed land is."
After these words were spoken, several people fell silent. They had not worried about this problem at first, but they did not expect that the Chen family was not planning to explore the blessed land they mentioned.
"Brother, what should we do next?"
Several people looked at each other again, and Zhou Honglang also sighed:
"Since the Chen family is unwilling, we can only find a way ourselves."
…
In the dream, Chen Tianjing told Chen Changming and other family elders what happened during the day.
He had indeed promised Zhou Honglang during the day that he would not tell anyone else about the blessed land.
However, the deceased elders of the family are no longer human beings, so it is not considered a violation of the promise.
"Uncle, I did not agree to this because I think it may be extremely risky."
Chen Tianjing, who narrated the whole story, expressed his doubts.
After hearing this, Chen Changming also pondered:
"Are you worried about the Gongyang family?"
Chen Tianjing nodded:
"Yes, that is indeed my concern."
"If it was just because the Zhou family had previously stolen Xuanhuang Yun from the ancient ruins and killed the Gongyang family's clansmen, now that the Zhou family has been destroyed, the matter should be over."
"But now the Gongyang family is still pursuing us relentlessly and offering a reward for the Zhou family. I think there may be a reason we don't know. What I am more worried about is that the Gongyang family may also know about the Zhou family's blessed land."
"In this case, the Gongyang family is seeking revenge for their family on the one hand, and for that blessed land on the other hand."
"If the family agrees to their request, I'm worried that if they run into someone from the Gongyang family, the family will be implicated."
After Chen Tianjing's analysis, Chen Changming also nodded:
"It's not impossible. Now that the family has acquired a blessed land, it is indeed not suitable to continue taking risks. Moreover, you are now the patriarch of the family. Your decision is the will of the family."
"Since Xing Zhen passed the position of clan leader to you, he will certainly not make a mistake in choosing you. I and other clan members believe in you."
Hearing these words, Chen Tianjing looked grateful:
"Uncle, I understand."
Normally speaking, some family affairs often require the patriarch to discuss with other elders in the clan before making a decision, especially major events that can determine the development of the family. However, this time he was quite arbitrary and directly rejected Zhou Honglang's proposal.
If this matter spread, he was worried that there would be disagreements among the clan members. So because of his previous promise, he came to ask Chen Changming for advice.
Chen Changming's affirmation also gave Chen Tianjing a little more confidence.
If the family wants to develop, it needs to seek progress in a stable manner. It is not suitable to participate in something as risky as this. If the family does not have a warrior in the Qi Control Realm, the family will not even be qualified to enter.
The next day, Chen Tianjing, Chen Tianyu and many other clansmen left the mass grave mountain and went to Yong'an City.
Before leaving, he also took some family blood rice with him.
The family has been selling blood rice in Cangshan Pavilion every six months recently, but this time they brought a little more blood rice. The purpose is to exchange for other ferocious beast resources in preparation for the sacred tree sacrifice.
As for Zhou Honglang and others, Chen Tianjing also made corresponding arrangements.
Whether several people leave or stay is up to them. You can even give them some jade coins when they leave, as a way of repaying the favor they have done you.
With the observations of the deceased clansmen, Chen Tianjing was not worried that several people would do anything detrimental to the family.
With the family's Blue Wolf, the group arrived at Yong'an City three days later.
For several months, Yong'an City remained in order. After seeing Qinglang return, many people in the city knew that it was someone from the Chen family who had returned.
But they didn't dare to ask too much about the details.
Inside the family meeting hall, Chen Tianjing was assigning tasks to several clan members.
"Qingxiu, take a few clansmen to the Xuanyue Liu family and visit the head of the Liu family in the name of the family. Say that the family is willing to exchange blood rice for some fierce beast resources."
"Qingsui, you go to the Yu family at the Iron Mine Mountain and visit them in the name of the family. If the head of the Yu family is willing, the family can use some blood rice to exchange for some high-quality iron ore every year."
"Qingshui, you go to the Yu family in Dongling."
“…”
"Yes, Patriarch!"
After explaining some specific details, the few of them took the family tokens, rode on the blue wolves, and left Yong'an City.
The family is growing stronger day by day. As for the family token, the family has discussed it carefully and made a new family token. After all, this also represents the family's reputation in some ways.
Today's family keepsake is a palm-sized wooden token made of a kind of fragrant agarwood from the mass grave mountain, which has the effect of anti-corrosion and fragrance enhancement. The token is made of two pieces of fragrant agarwood spliced together, fitting perfectly, like a whole piece.
On the front of the token, there is a pattern of the family's sacred tree, and on the back is the word "Chen". The outline of a mass grave is also vaguely carved on the token.
Although it is still exquisite, the tokens of other families are almost the same.
The only way to verify whether the family token is a counterfeit or real is that there is a locust leaf from the family's sacred tree placed in the middle of the Chen family's family token. Even if this locust leaf has no special effect, its aura will not change.
This also eliminates the intention of outsiders to forge family keepsakes.
After several people left, Chen Tianjing was still in thoughts.
The families that he sent his clansmen to this time were all small families near Yong'an City, and most of them were also the families that had come to Yong'an City when the family sold blood rice last time.
These small families also have many resources, such as the Yu family's high-quality iron ore, the Zheng family's cold crystal ice, the Lai family's spiritual spring, etc.
These resources are things that the family lacks and are useful.
In the past, family resources were scarce and blood rice could only be used by family members. However, with the stable production of blood rice in the family, there is now some blood rice in surplus.
Previously, part of it was used by the family to exchange for jade coins to maintain the operation of the family's Cangshan Pavilion and the family's current daily needs. After all, the family now distributes a certain number of jade coins every month to family members, servants, and even people employed in Yong'an City.
There can be fewer jade coins, but they must not be absent.
Jade coins played an indispensable role in the family's ability to settle down in Yong'an City.
As for the remaining blood rice, it would be uneconomical to exchange it for jade coins, so it would be best to use it to exchange for resources from other families.
For example, the Yu family's high-quality iron ore can enable the clan members to take their iron forging skills to a higher level.
The Lai family's spiritual spring can also help the clan members lay a better foundation when they reach the Body Tempering Stage.
