Chapter 63 One year less alive

There were only a few people in the hall, but the Zhou family outside felt as if they were looking at the Jinluan Palace from afar, and they all speculated on the reason for Master Chen's arrival.

However, even if they had various thoughts in their hearts, they did not dare to mess around and retreated far away from this place.

"Were the Zhou family discussing something just now?"

Chen Sheng seemed to be aware of it. He came casually. In such a hurry, the Zhou family could not gather many high-ranking officials at once, even if they wanted to have a grand ceremony.

"Yes, I don't dare to make arbitrary decisions on some matters. I want to hear the opinions of my tribe."

The head of the Zhou family didn't know Chen Sheng's intentions and didn't dare to say anything. He just dealt with it vaguely.

"So...what happened during the discussion..."

Chen Sheng looked kindly, as if he couldn't hear the considerations of the head of the Zhou family, and continued to ask questions.

"this……"

The head of the Zhou family was hesitant and wanted to tell Chen Sheng directly that the current situation of the Zhou family was not very good, but he was worried that this was just a small talk and a rash request for help. If the other party didn't mean that, there would be a complete stalemate.

Living.

At this moment, he saw Zhou Lie nodding towards him, and he was immediately determined. He had no worries anymore and said: "Fight to the end! My Zhou family and the Lu family are not at odds with each other."

The words are sonorous and the stance is firm.

This silver-scale iron ore has been the carrier of the Zhou family's fortune for three hundred years. If it were given to others, it would be the end of the family's future.

As the head of the Zhou family, even though he knew he would lose this battle, he still had to fight in order to live up to the hard work and savings of his ancestors.

"Okay, there is a bit of staunchness, which proves that the Zhou family should not be ruined and can continue."

Chen Sheng was very happy that the Zhou family did not embarrass Deacon Zhou and were not afraid of hardships and dared to shed blood. Such a cultivating family would have a chance to rise again even if it suffered a setback.

"Zhou is brave and hopes that Master Chen can help."

When the atmosphere was high, the head of the Zhou family gritted his teeth and asked Chen Sheng for help.

He felt that he was not stupid. He had grasped this person's intention and was willing to take action.

"I heard that an elder in the Zhou family is going to celebrate his birthday."

Chen Sheng did not respond directly, but mentioned something else.

"Celebrating a birthday? Yes, my uncle will be 100 years old in seven days, and he is about to do something grand."

The head of the Zhou family was puzzled for a moment, but he still managed to celebrate his 100th birthday. In fact, his uncle was only ninety-nine years old, but for the sake of the family, he could live longer.

"It just so happens that I would like to take advantage of this 100th birthday to get acquainted with the immortal cultivating families near the Zhou family."

Chen Sheng's eyes were distant, looking across the Gale Valley and overlooking the land with a radius of hundreds of miles.

This place is too small, and he doesn't want to start a big fight.

"Contact with other tribes? That's it."

The head of the Zhou family was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said with an excited expression: "I will definitely summon all directions and let them come to see you, sir."

This gentleman, for no reason does he want to get to know friends of the Zhou family. He clearly wants to use his birthday occasion to stand up for the Zhou family.

People like the Lu family are not stupid people. If they can't appreciate this, then this time it will be very dangerous.

Letters of invitations were sent out within the Zhou family.

Lu family.

In the room, a person was sitting, with a tall figure and a majestic air.

Beside him was a young man named Lu Yuan, who was a genius of the Lu family. He was taken with him to teach him how to behave.

"On his 100th birthday, he invited me to wait there. He is not afraid that we will take the opportunity to break the Zhou family's mountain-protecting formation and come directly to kill him."

Lu Changfeng held the Zhou family's invitation in his hand. He thought about it for a while, and his heart was about to move, planning to take advantage of the fire on the day of his birthday, when the good and the bad were mixed.

However, he was still cautious and said: "Has there been any news from the secret agent we planted in the Zhou family?"

The Zhou family has declined, but that is not the responsibility of the head of the Zhou family, but the death of the ancestor, which is inevitable.

After several fights, he realized that the Zhou family still had some wealth and would not suddenly act stupidly, giving him an opportunity.

Then, something must have happened that made the Zhou family not afraid of being overthrown on their birthday.

"Master Chen, who is related to the ancestor of the Zhou family, has appeared in the Zhou family."

Lu Yuan said doubtfully.

The name Master Chen is a bit unfamiliar to him, as he is not a person from this world.

"Alchemist Chen? That's troublesome."

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, and his plans were instantly confused.

If he wants to swallow up the Zhou family, he must first know the details of the Zhou family and cannot act randomly.

The greatest heritage of the Zhou family is that Zhou Minsheng passed away more than 20 years ago. There are no outstanding figures in the family, and the family wealth is not as good as that of the Lu family.

The only person he was afraid of was Alchemist Chen. According to legend, he was an old friend of the ancestor of the Zhou family. He was the alchemist of Yaolu and had a distinguished status.

I don’t know how he, a deacon of a pension, met such a big shot. What a blessing.

"Should we pass the news on this to Elder Jia first?"

Lu Yuan was a little shocked when he heard that he was a member of the Immortal Sect and a distinguished alchemist. Such a big shot was not something that the Lu family could fly in the face of.

Fortunately, the Lu family is not without a backing. A few years ago, they also hooked up with an outer sect elder named Jia from the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, and they have a solid foundation since then.

"Let's hold off for now. Let's go over and have some contact."

Lu Changfeng thought for a moment, shook his head, and said instead: "Prepare gifts, pay attention to them."

The foundation of a patron cannot be touched lightly. It can only be used when the family encounters a disaster.

The current situation is not yet time for a military confrontation.

"Clan chief, are the birthday gifts given to the Zhou family so generous?"

The relationship between Lu Yuan and the Zhou family was not on the same level, but it was definitely not good. Giving him heavy gifts always felt like he was siding with the enemy.

"The Zhou family's birthday gift? When the two families are hostile, I just give him a dog's tail grass. The heavy gift is for Master Chen. If you can spend it with money, that would be good."

Lu Changfeng snorted, the Zhou family is nothing, the important thing is Alchemist Chen. Just being an alchemist from Guangxiu Immortal Sect and Yaolu made him restrained and did not dare to move.

For a person like this, with the size of the Lu family, they would have to die violently if they were hit by someone. Only those who could send people back with heavy gifts would be the right thing to do.

Except for the Lu family, all the immortal cultivating families in this area of ​​a hundred miles, or even three hundred miles away, have received invitations from the Zhou family.

They were confused for a moment and couldn't figure out the Zhou family's plan. They just felt that something big was going on.

At this time, the Zhou family, the initiator of the turmoil in this area, was extremely peaceful.

"Zhou Lie, what does Yaolu look like?"

A little girl in pink clothes, with longing in her eyes, heard that Yaolu is an extremely magical place, and even the elders in the clan don't know much about it.

"It's very big and has many alchemists."

Zhou Lie waved his hand and tried his best to answer his friend's questions, but he didn't have a big vocabulary. He only knew that there were many alchemists, so he couldn't explain the rest clearly.

"Alchemist, that is an extremely noble person."

Even so, the little girl in pink clothes felt very shocked. After all, she was an alchemist. There were no high-ranking big shots in the Zhou family, but there were actually a group of them in the Yaolu.

"Zhou Lie, will you also become an alchemist in the future?"

Another friend came around, wearing a tiger head hat, very lively, playing with Zhou Lie.

"Yes, the teacher is a very powerful alchemist. I will naturally inherit the teacher's mantle."

Zhou Lie's expression was very determined. He saw how powerful his teacher was, and he aspired to become a person like his teacher. No matter where he went in the future, he would be respected by everyone.

"That's great, our Zhou family will also have an alchemist in the future."

A group of children were chattering, and the adults of the Zhou family next to them were all smiling and calling for great fortune.

"My ancestor has sacrificed a lot for our Zhou family. Even if he leaves, he has left behind a huge network of connections that will bless future generations."

They really admired their ancestor, and they were really far-sighted. They could see at a glance that Master Chen was like a hidden dragon in the abyss. Once he flew up, he would also take advantage of the Zhou family.

"Next time we worship, we have to kowtow more."

It's a pity that the ancestor is gone.

They had no way to show filial piety, so they could only kowtow a few times to express their feelings.

"That one is nostalgic. I finally understand why my ancestor spent half his life's favor and sent him to be a deacon in a medicine house. He is really a valuable person."

When it comes to Chen Sheng, the Zhou family respects him very much, not because of his power, but because of his character.

Alchemist Chen has a very high status, but when talking to them, he is always very gentle and not condescending, which makes people respect him from the bottom of his heart.

"After this, the Zhou family will be safe."

With this legacy, the Zhou family has no confusion about the future. They just know that the future is long and they should treat each other calmly.

Seven days.

Passed by suddenly.

The ninety-nine-year-old uncle of the Zhou family had a grand birthday. Although he felt that it was a pity to live a little less, he seemed not to be unable to accept the ostentation.

At this time, the Zhou family's door was wide open and undefended. The overall tone was festive and majestic.

The word "longevity" is written on red paper, and peaches are hanging on the tree.

Preserved fruit and fine wine are served one by one.

In the Gale Valley, all the palaces were filled with tables and chairs for banquets, waiting for guests to take their seats.

"Elder Liu, you are here."

The head of the Zhou family stood in front of the door and personally welcomed the guests. His face was full of smiles that could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.

The first guest was a person who was concerned about the Zhou family. He was extremely enthusiastic and went up to greet him in every possible way.

"What's going on? You're in such a good mood."

No matter how blind Elder Liu is, he can still tell that something is wrong with the head of the Zhou family, and he can almost grin up to his ears.

He suddenly felt that he still didn't know the head of the Zhou family well enough. He thought he was a serious person before.

"Tell me later."

The head of the Zhou family said mysteriously.

The highlight is naturally shocking when it is revealed at the end.

Although Elder Liu was tickled by the temptation, he still endured it, walked aside, and put down the birthday gift.

immediately……

"The Liu family's birthday gift is a 300-year-old wild ginseng."

A sound sounded outside the door, and someone recorded it in the book.
