Chapter 357 Ice Rhino Pendant

"What is this?"

Seeing the item Liu Zhilan handed over, Chen Qingyun asked in confusion.

Liu Zhilan smiled and said, "This is the Ice Rhino Pendant, which is made from the horn of the third-level spirit beast Ice Rhino. It has the miraculous effect of warding off fire and can restrain fire-attributed magic."

"I made this item specially for you a few days ago. Since you are here today, it is just right to give it to you earlier."

Liu Zhilan introduced the effect of this magic weapon.

The Ice Rhino Pendant in Yu's hand appeared to be a piece of white jade, which looked particularly delicate and beautiful, with a hazy light.

"Wow, what a beautiful jade pendant."

Chen Nianwei, who was standing aside, was attracted by the sight and showed envy. She liked this beautiful jade pendant very much.

But she knew that this was a gift from Senior Liu to Uncle Six, and she couldn't ask for it.

"Ice Rhino Pendant."

Liu Zhilan gave a magic weapon, which Chen Qingyun didn't expect.

"Yes, although this item is not a powerful offensive magic weapon, and it is far inferior to the Mingyue Lotus Seal you gave me, I made it with great care. I wonder if you like it."

The magical effect of the Mingyue Lotus Seal shortened Liu Zhilan's cultivation time.

It took her only two months to consolidate her cultivation after breaking through the Purple Mansion.

When she first received the Mingyue Lotus Seal, she began to think that it was extraordinary.

She never thought that after using it for a period of time, the effect was far beyond her expectations.

Chen Qingyun gave her such a treasure, which shows how generous he was.

So much so that she felt that she was not giving enough when she gave her the Ice Rhinoceros Pendant today.

When she thought of this, she showed a serious look and couldn't help but add: "My current refining attainments are limited. If I want to personally refine a magic weapon for you, I can only give you a low-grade magic weapon for the time being. Don't despise it."

Giving away a magic weapon, even a low-grade magic weapon, is not something that can be easily taken out for a cultivator who has just entered the Purple Mansion period. One piece is worth at least 30,000 spirit stones.

Liu Zhilan had such a kind intention, so Chen Qingyun naturally would not despise it. He did not refuse and immediately accepted the Ice Rhino Pendant.

Seeing that Uncle Qingyun could actually receive a magic weapon as a gift, Chen Nianwei on the side was really envious and quite surprised.

Of course, she knew how much a low-grade magic weapon was worth.

But Sister Zhilan could be generous and generous and gave one to Uncle Qingyun. If they were both family cultivators, they might not be so willing to do so.

It seems that Sister Zhilan and Uncle Qingyun have a special relationship.

The little girl thought so in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

After staying in Zhilantian for a while.

Chen Qingyun took Chen Nianwei back to Tianhong Pavilion and paid attention to the development of the store.

Since Chen Nianwei's assistance, Tianhong Pavilion has added some new products, and the business is better than before. This is something to be happy about.

Under the leadership of Chen Nianwei, Chen Nianshang also began to learn the way of talismans and has become an apprentice in making talismans.

Thinking that he still had some fresh spiritual medicine to sell, Chen Qingyun sold the spiritual medicine to Tianhong Pavilion at a price 10% lower than the market price, and obtained 4950 spiritual stones.

Trading with the family can be regarded as keeping the money within the family.

These spiritual medicines grown by themselves can be sold by the family to earn some income.

After completing the mission this time, Chen Qingyun stayed in Tianhong Pavilion temporarily and bought some broken magic tools in the market.

This lasted for more than ten days. One day, he was summoned by Chen Xianming, so he flew directly to Lingjian Island to meet with the old patriarch.

The summons sent yesterday was not urgent, but Chen Qingyun arrived today. Chen Xianming laughed and said, "Qingyun, you are here so soon."

"Actually, I called you here this time to discuss with you about expanding the family population and adding new monks."

"Patriarch, I agree with expanding the family population."

Chen Qingyun said slowly.

"Whether a family can prosper or not cannot only be judged by how many high-level cultivators the family has. The most important thing is to have a stable population base to ensure the inheritance and reproduction of the family. Only when the birth rate of future generations increases can more immortal seedlings emerge."

There are a total of 28 family cultivators now, which is not a large number.

After being assigned to Psychedelic Island, Zhenhai Island, Baishi Mine, Lingxi Island, and then to the various industries of the family, there is still a sense of shortage of manpower.

Even if the intermarriage with the Yang family now has five new immortal seedlings.

But the oldest of them is only ten years old, and the youngest is two years old. They also need time to grow up, right?

It is not necessary to let them devote themselves to family tasks when they are still in their infancy.

Therefore, the problem of insufficient manpower of cultivators has always troubled Chen Xianming, and it is also the most urgent problem that the Chen family needs to solve at present.

"The spiritual vein on the Psychedelic Island has developed slowly in recent years. It's a pity that it is a second-level spiritual vein. It is a bit of a waste to only use it to grow some spiritual fields. I want to expand the spiritual fields on a large scale and develop some resources to move to the Psychedelic Island."

"If we do this, we will face the problem of insufficient manpower in the family cultivators, which is also the biggest problem facing our Chen family at present."

Chen Xianming's face showed a bit of bitterness.

The number of mortals in the family is still too small, currently reaching about 28,000.

Compared with other century-old families, which start with a population of 50,000 or 60,000, the Chen family is still too young and vigorous.

Understanding the problems facing the family, Chen Qingyun nodded slowly and asked: "What do the clan leaders think now?"

Chen Xianming pondered for a moment and said: "I have been thinking about this for a long time."

"There are only two ways to add cultivators to the family."

"One is to marry into the Yang family, or let cultivators marry into the family, give birth to more children, and increase the chance of giving birth to immortals. This is the most reliable way, which requires time to settle."

"The second method is faster, which is to establish the position of guest elders in the family to attract outstanding independent cultivators to join and stand in our Chen family camp."

"Which of the above two methods do you prefer, or do you have a better way?"

Chen Xianming said seriously, which was also the reason for summoning Chen Qingyun, wanting to know what Chen Qingyun thought about this matter.

In fact, the most reliable and reliable way is for those of the Qing generation to take in wives and concubines, have more children, and worry about not having cultivators to take over.

But, among the Qing generation, only Chen Qingnian has started a family, and the rest don't even have a partner.

The Qing generation is not expected for the time being, so they can only find another way.

Knowing that the family had to solve the population problem, and that he had an increase in the number of cultivators, was valued by the family, and had a high voice, Chen Qingyun thought for a while and said.

"Marriage and the establishment of guest elders are indeed a solution, but the recruitment of the guest elders still needs strict testing, at least to ensure that the origins of the independent cultivators are clear and there is no record of evil."

"In the future, independent cultivators who have passed the test cannot be easily led to Lingjian Island to live."

"Isn't there a spiritual vein on the Psychedelic Island? It just happens to be a spiritual field. After the future expansion, manpower is needed. It is better to arrange the guest elders to settle on the Psychedelic Island."

"Good idea, I understand your concerns."

Chen Xianming showed appreciation and said.

"To become a guest elder, no matter the origin, strength, or character, all aspects need to be considered. It is not enough to have strength alone."

"Then let's do as you say, clan leader. The two paths of marriage and guest elders can be carried out at the same time. In addition, I have another suggestion. I don't know if it is feasible."

"Oh?"

Chen Xianming showed interest and asked.

"What tricks do you have? Tell me now."
