Chapter 152: The Yang Family’s Roping In (1)
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Several hours later.
Chen Daoxuan’s flying light landed outside of Spirit Day City.
Before he could step into Spirit Day City, a Yang family cultivator waiting at the city gate recognized Chen Daoxuan.
This Yang family cultivator was in his middle years and had a good appearance, making people have a good impression of him.
“Are you Fellow Daoist Chen Daoxuan?”
“Fellow Daoist is…”
Chen Daoxuan couldn’t recognize who the other party was. He could only recognize that this was a cultivator from the Yang family through his clothes.
The middle-aged cultivator cupped his hands and smiled.”Fellow Daoist, please don’t misunderstand. This is the first time we’ve met. I’ve been ordered by the clan leader to wait for you here.”
“Oh? Old Ancestor Yang’s order?”
Chen Daoxuan’s heart skipped a beat.
“That’s right. Fellow Daoist, please!”
As the middle-aged cultivator spoke, he made an inviting gesture.
“Please lead the way, Fellow Daoist.” Chen Daoxuan nodded.
This was Ling Zhou City, and he was bold, so he wasn’t afraid of someone pretending to be a Yang Family cultivator.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
The two of them stopped in front of the Yang Family.
This was Chen Daoxuan’s second time coming to the Yang Family.
The last time he came.
He was only a Qi Condensation cultivator. Although his strength was not weak, he could even kill a bare-handed early-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator from the Yun Nation.
However, compared to his current strength, there was undoubtedly a huge difference.
After fighting with different enemies, Chen Daoxuan had basically determined the upper limit of his strength. It was roughly the same as an early-stage Zifu Disciple.
The only aspect in which he was weaker than an early Zifu Disciple was probably his defense.
In short.
The current Chen Daoxuan could barely be regarded as a slightly weaker early Zifu Disciple.
This was the foundation of the strongest Swordsman.
As for why the Yang family wanted to find him, Chen Daoxuan had a guess in his heart.
It was no doubt that they had taken a fancy to him, the second Swordsman of Guang ‘an Prefecture, and wanted to invest a sum of money in him in advance.
The reason why a large family clan could stand tall was because of this.
Other than the family’s heritage, the invisible network was also another great treasure for them to continue the family.
For example, Zhou Mubai and Chen Daoxuan had experienced a life and death situation. If the Zhou family was in trouble and Zhou Mubai came to beg him, would Chen Daoxuan sit back and do nothing?
It was obviously impossible.
This was what the Yang Family was planning at the moment.
Although it was a little late to invest in Chen Daoxuan, it was better than doing nothing, right?
With Yang Linyuan’s shrewdness, how could he not understand this?
Very quickly.
Chen Daoxuan met the Yang Family Patriarch again at the Spirit Lake where he met Yang Linyuan last time.
What surprised Chen Daoxuan was…
Other than the white-haired Yang Lingyuan, there was another white-haired old man who was chatting with Yang Linyuan.
Beside the two of them, a beautiful woman stood like a maidservant.
Chen Daoxuan immediately recognized that the woman standing next to them was none other than Yang Gongwan, the genius cultivator of the Yang family.
“Thirteenth Uncle!”
Chen Daoxuan called out from afar.
Hearing that.
Chen Xianhe turned around and glanced at Chen Daoxuan. He then smiled at Yang Linyuan and said,”Old Brother Yang, 1 was just talking about my nephew when he arrived.”
“Hahaha!”
Yang Linyuan laughed and stood up. He cupped his hands at Chen Daoxuan and said,”Fellow Daoist Chen, how have you been?”
“Thank you for your concern, Senior Yang. Junior is doing well.”
Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands indifferently.
Seeing Chen Daoxuan’s expression, Yang Linyuan coughed and said, “”Wan ‘er, why aren’t you apologizing to Fellow Daoist Chen?”
As he spoke, he gave Yang Gongwan a look.
Hearing this, Yang Gongwan bit her lips and bowed.”Wan ‘er instigated the relationship between the Chen and Wu families a few days ago. It was a despicable act. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Chen.”
As he spoke.
He looked at Chen Daoxuan with a pitiful expression.
Seeing her sincere apology, the little grudge in Chen Daoxuan’s heart disappeared.
From Yang Gongwan’s perspective, he could understand why she wanted to sow discord between the Chen and Wu families.
This was because the Yang family dominated Spirit Day City, and the supply of magic tools was basically provided by the Wu family. In this way, the Wu family undoubtedly controlled one of the lifeblood of Spirit Day City.
This made the Yang family feel uneasy. They urgently needed to find a new force to balance the Wu family’s monopoly on the magical equipment market in Spirit Day City.
This new force was the Chen family.
That was why Yang Gongwan wanted to sow discord between the two families. Her goal was to prevent the Chen and Wu families from colluding and monopolizing the magical equipment market in Spirit Day City.
However, in Chen Daoxuan’s opinion.
Yang Gongwan’s actions were truly childish.
This was because both the Chen and Wu families were famous for their artifact refinement.
The reason why the two families did not have any major conflicts was that the Chen family specialized in the low-end magical equipment market, while the Wu family’s magical equipment was mainly concentrated in the first-tier high-grade magical equipment and second-tier magical equipment.
Moreover, the Wu family’s customer base was mainly the family’s descendants.
However, with the improvement of the Chen family’s refining skills and the increase in the number of refiners in the clan, it was only a matter of time before the Chen and Wu families had a conflict.
Unless the Chen and Wu families could open up a magical equipment market outside Guang ‘an Prefecture.
However, if he wanted to expand his business beyond Guang ‘an Prefecture, the requirements for his family’s reputation were not ordinary.
Otherwise, there was a high possibility of being suppressed in other people’s territory.
Currently, in Guang ‘an Prefecture, only the Zhou family had the strength to expand their business to the entire Cangzhou.
Even the Yang family, the second largest family in Guang ‘an Prefecture, only monopolized the boat business in Guang’ an Prefecture and did not expand the business to other prefectures.
“I have long forgotten about these small matters. Fairy Yang, you don’t have to take it to heart.”
Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands.
Hearing this, Yang Linyuan laughed and said,” Yes, it’s just a bit of a grudge. It’s good that we’ve cleared it up! But even so, my Yang family was in the wrong first, so we can’t just make amends.”
Then, he looked at Yang Gongwan.” Wan ‘er, why aren’t you taking it out? ”
“Oh.”
Yang Gongwan put on a playful expression and immediately took out a sword box from her storage bag.
He opened the sword case in front of everyone.
A beam of Sword Qi soared into the sky. As the Sword Qi gradually faded, a flying sword overflowing with spiritual light appeared in front of Chen Daoxuan.
“A third-ranked flying sword!”
Chen Daoxuan looked at Yang Linyuan in shock and cupped his hands.” Senior Yang, forgive me for being blunt, but this gift is too precious. I won’t accept it without merit. Please forgive me for not accepting it.”
“Well,”
Hearing this, Yang Linyuan sighed.” It seems that Fellow Daoist Chen still refuses to forgive my Wan ‘er.”
“This…”
Since he had already said that, he had no choice but to accept this apology.
However, this was a third-ranked flying sword!
Moreover, it was a high-grade Level Three flying sword!
If this flying sword were to be auctioned off, it would fetch a sky-high price of at least a million spirit stones.
This kind of rare treasure, the Yang Family actually gave it away!
One had to know that Zhou Mubai’s flying sword was only a third-tier superior-grade sword.
But when he thought of the power of a high-grade Tier 3 flying sword in the blink of an eye, Chen Daoxuan found it hard to control himself.
Although a high-grade third-ranked flying sword was worth more than a million spirit stones, it wasn’t something that could be bought for a million spirit stones.
This was because treasures of this level were the type that could only be encountered by chance.
If you want to buy it, it will depend on your luck.
Even though he was very tempted.
But Chen Daoxuan was still weighing the pros and cons..
