Chapter 1038 The Chen Family’s Difficulty

Lu Xuan looked down at the audience. A group of Real Sword Peak monks were sitting at attention, looking at him expectantly.

"Thanks to the kindness of my uncle and fellow apprentices, Lu Xuan will discuss and exchange his experience in making talismans with you today."

"I don't know how many high-level talismans there are. Since I have been practicing swordsmanship for many years and have carefully cultivated a large number of sword grass spiritual plants, I have some experience in controlling sword energy, so I am good at several types of sword talismans."

"Among them, the fifth-grade ones include the Xuanyin Sword Talisman and the Zhensha Sword Talisman, and the fourth-grade ones include the Great Sun Sword Talisman, Xiaohai Sword Talisman, etc."

Lu Xuan talked calmly and eloquently.

“The sword talisman’s offensive power is the highest among all talismans, but it is also the most difficult to draw.

To draw sword talismans, in addition to mastering the most basic talisman-making skills, you also need to have meticulous control. "

"..."

Half a day later, the sword and talisman exchange meeting ended with everyone still unfinished.

"My nephew is indeed a first-class scorer who can surpass countless talisman masters in the Nine Sword Peaks. When he explained the sword talismans, he was very insightful. I have benefited a lot from him."

Ye Lingkong stood up, cupped his hands and said.

"Master Ye, thank you very much. I am only proficient in these types of sword talismans. I have to ask my uncle for advice on other talismans."

Lu Xuan said quickly.

"Junior Brother Lu, I can't thank you enough for teaching me the essence of Talismans this time."

An inner disciple who had reached the perfect realm of elixir formation came over and solemnly thanked him.

"That's right, thank you senior brother!"

“Senior brother’s kindness will never be forgotten!”

A group of Jianfeng disciples came over to express their gratitude.

What Lu Xuan said today can be regarded as a special skill among other talisman masters, and will never be spread easily.

However, Lu Xuan didn't care about this at all and taught it to everyone openly, which was even more commendable.

"I'll have a chance to have a good exchange with all my brothers next time."

Lu Xuan smiled and sent everyone outside the cave.

He is not worried that someone will learn the essence of the sword talisman, thus threatening his status as a talisman maker in Huanzhen Sword Peak.

Even if someone has outstanding talent and understands what he said today, it will be difficult for him to achieve his level of talisman making in a short time, not to mention that he will continue to absorb the talisman making experience packs issued by the light group.

…

Jian Zong's outer courtyard.

A quiet little courtyard.

"Junior Sister Qingshuang, do you have a clan member coming over?"

Outside the yard, a clear female voice sounded.

Soon, a beautiful woman with a determined look came out of the yard.

The woman was Chen Qingshuang, a descendant of a Yuanying True Monarch from the Sword Sect many years ago. Lu Xuan learned about the sword soul obsession left by that Yuanying monk in the Heart Sword Lake and had contact with her.

Chen Qingshuang came outside the courtyard and saw a middle-aged monk with slightly white temples and an elegant temperament.

"Uncle, why did you come to Jianzong?"

She looked surprised. The name of the person in front of her was Chen Yuqiu. He was the current patriarch of the Chen family and the only real person in the family. He had been doing his best to maintain the entire Chen family.

"I happened to be passing by the Sword Sect. I haven't been here for more than a hundred years, so I came to see the place where I practiced and lived in the past. I stopped by to see you."

Chen Yuqiu smiled and followed Chen Qingshuang into the small courtyard.

"Uncle, did something happen in the clan?"

Chen Qingshuang opened the ban outside the small courtyard and looked at the middle-aged monk with bright eyes.

The Chen family has been declining over the years and needs powerful monks to take charge of the family. If something unexpected had not happened, Chen Yuqiu would never leave the family easily.

"Qingshuang, if you were smart, I really didn't hide it from you."

Chen Yuqiu sighed softly.

"Can uncle tell Qingshuang what exactly happened?"

Chen Qingshuang asked softly.

"The mine in the family is about to be unsustainable. The Zhang family, less than a thousand miles apart, wants to seize a new round of management rights of the mine."

Chen Yuqiu said simply.

"The Zhang family? Don't they already have two medicinal gardens? Why do they still want to get involved in the Chen family's mines?"

Chen Qingshuang couldn't help but ask.

The mine was owned by the Dongxuan Sword Sect, but it had been almost fully developed. There were only a few ordinary spiritual mines left in it, and they were handed over to the nearby Chen family for management.

After the Chen family collected the spiritual minerals, they handed over a certain amount to Jian Zong and digested the rest themselves.

Every hundred years, the ownership of the mine will be re-demarcated. However, due to the appearance of a Nascent Soul Lord in their ancestors and the family's unique position, the Chen family has always firmly held it in their hands.

Unexpectedly, when a new round of distribution was about to begin, the Zhang family actually intervened.

"There is no way. The Chen family is in decline, but the Zhang family is prospering. The gap in strength between the two families is getting wider and wider. Naturally, the Zhang family has new ideas."

"Now, I am the only one in the clan who is supported by a Dan-Jie cultivator who has very little longevity left. However, the Zhang family has always been strong and prosperous, and their cultivation level is not weaker than mine. There is also a Dan-Jie elder."

"What's more important is that there is a member of the Zhang family who is practicing in the Sword Sect. He broke through to the realm of pill formation a few years ago and became an inner sect disciple at a young age. The road to cultivation is smooth, and Yuanying has hope."

"Under such circumstances, the Chen family doesn't have much competitiveness at all."

Chen Yuqiu said helplessly.

When Chen Qingshuang heard this, she remained silent, her fists clenched, and blue veins popped out on her fair skin.

She only regretted why she hadn't broken through to the realm of pill formation yet, otherwise she would have had enough confidence to solve the family's problems.

"Uncle, grandpa came here and found some solution?"

He was silent for a while and asked in a hoarse voice.

"There is a way, but the hope is extremely slim."

"Back then, when the ancestor Chen Xiaobai was in the Sword Sect, he still had two or three close friends, but after more than two thousand years, the friendship between the descendants became increasingly rare, and there was no contact after the decline of the Chen family."

"According to my understanding, one of the ancestor's friends at the time was deeply rooted in the Sword Sect, and a Yuanying Zhenjun appeared in his descendants."

"This time I came here to see if I could find a chance to meet them, present a few treasures, and see if I could ask them to help talk."

Chen Yuqiu said slowly, his thin figure looked extremely thin in the wind.

"So many years have passed, the friendship of the ancestor's generation has long been exhausted, right?"

Chen Qingshuang frowned slightly and asked softly.

"I have to try it anyway, at most I will bleed a little more."

Chen Yuqiu sneered.

Chen Qingshuang bit her lip, but a figure appeared in her mind.

The inner disciple who had found him said that he had obtained the treasures left by the ancestors in the foreign land, which were of great use to him. When they met, he gave Chen Qingshuang several treasures, and before leaving, he repeatedly told her that she could go to him if she had any problems.

Due to the disparity between their cultivation and status, Chen Qingshuang did not think so. After learning that Lu Xuan had performed brilliantly in the Sword Peak Competition, she buried what the other party said deeply in her heart.

Her mind moved, and a communication talisman that had never been used appeared in her palm.

"Uncle, I may have a way."

She said with a firm expression.
