Chapter 202: Returning to the Clan
Chapter 200
They were not eager to head back to their clan. During the remaining time, Chen Jingzhai wanted to spend more time with Su Qinghuang. Now that there was no outsider on the ship with them, they could go anywhere they wanted.
Since they had already learned that nothing bad had happened to the clan and Puppet Hall was doing great, Chen Jingzhai was no longer worried. He used the time he had to help his four beautiful maidservants ascend to Foundation Building Plane.
They started to practice the methods Chen Jingzhai personally chose for them. He even taught them skills such as elixir alchemy, item alchemy, puppet making, spirit planting, and formations. However, he had no special requirement for them in terms of the spells they learned.
In the end, there was no need for them to train. With the Inferior Grade 3 magic treasures he had given them, they still stand a chance to escape from a Golden Core Sage’s attack.
“Aren’t you going to take a look at your hometown?” asked Su Qinghuang as she cuddled in his arms.
“I’ve already severed my mortal ties,” replied Chen Jingzhai calmly. “The clan will ensure that the next three generations of my family will live a peaceful and wealthy life.”
“Then, all you have left is me,” whispered Su Qinghuang.
“Yes.” Chen Jingzhai tightened his arms around her.
Before confirming his relationship with Su Qinghuang, the only place he felt belonged to was Luo Sheng Sword School.
…
He did not mind severing his ties with his mortal family.
It was something that was already gone the moment he joined Aspirant Cultivators Academy and traded for riches.
The tower ship visited every state of Pulao Kingdom, even the imperial city.
Even when they were spotted, no one would interrupt them.
Nevertheless, the ship did not stop at the cities most of the time. It would just fly past them.
Chen Jingzhai had been spending most of his time with Su Qinghuang.
He would even bask in the sceneries the kingdom had to offer since Su Qinghuang liked them as well.
Three months had passed, and summer had arrived. They finally returned to the Luanyun Mountain Range.
Chen Jingzhai was relaxed as he had finally returned home.
He stood on the deck and showed his clan token before turning into a ray of light to travel into the mountain range.
Su Qinghuang returned to Hongluan Peak first, while Chen Jingzhai brought the maidservants from the Liu family to Handy Peak to register them as handyman disciples.
“Isn’t this my junior brother?” Old Man Nie suddenly appeared next to Chen Jingzhai.
“Senior Brother Nie.” Chen Jingzhai bowed with a smile.
“Not bad.” Old Man Nie scanned the young man. “I heard you’ve caused quite a huge ruckus in the Eastern Ocean. If I’m not wrong, I heard you’ve destroyed an island and killed a lord?”
“Words do travel fast.” Chen Jingzhai was surprised.
“This is the Handy Peak.” Old Man Nie chuckled. “We are the best at gathering information. Even the slightest event could not escape our ears. You’ve done well this time.”
“Not really. I did anger a Spirit Plane cultivator.” Chen Jingzhai shook his head.
“How so? You are just a Foundation Establishment Plane cultivator. They are the ones who should be ashamed of themselves. Also, looks like you’ve been treating your maidservants well. Who would have thought they would already establish their foundation?”
“That’s because I still have a few Foundation Establishment Elixirs with me.”
“Oh, right! How could I forget that you are an elixir alchemist? You have also obtained the item alchemy inheritance, right? Looks like you’ll be good in both alchemy now. Are you here to find new maidservants?”
“Can I?” Chen Jingzhai exclaimed.
“Technically, you can only have four.” Old Man Nie grinned. “But since you are walking down on both alchemy paths, I can give you another four for free. However, you’ll have to exchange your points if you want more.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother!”
The only thing the handyman disciples lacked was talent. Nonetheless, since they had been trained in the Handy Peak for a long time, their personalities were better than most.
Hong Yu had once begged Chen Jingzhai to take in a few handyman disciples as they were all related to her by blood. This time, that was part of what Chen Jingzhai intended to do.
After all, the tower ship was just too big for the four maidservants to handle.
Not only did the spirit silkworms, herbs, and plants need people to tend to them, Chen Jingzhai needed a few personal assistants as well.
After thanking his senior brother, Chen Jingzhai let his four maidservants choose those to join them.
Excitement could clearly be seen in the ladies’ eyes as they started to scan through the register.
The disciples of Handy Peak were so helpful that inner disciples and even elders loved to find assistants from there.
Not all would serve their master directly. Some would have to clean cave residences or manage herb gardens.
Although they lacked in cultivation, they were still sought after because of their professions.
Old Man Nie was serious when he told Chen Jingzhai to exchange his points for more maidservants.
The young man then briefly told his senior brother about what happened at the Eastern Ocean, emphasizing Kumu Island and Mystic Sound Pavillion, and how he set a trap for Lord Yu. Old Man Nie listened to his story with a lot of interest.
The old man was obviously getting bored from staying in the mountain for way too long.
Hong Yu and the other three maidservants were able to locate the ladies they were looking for with the help of the deacons. With Chen Jingzhai’s approval, the four new maidservants were summoned.
Since they joined the clan a little later than Hong Yu, they were given the surname, Xi. They were Xi Meng, Xi Yao, Xi Yue, and Xi Tong. They were weaker than the maidservants from the Liu family as they were all in the Beginning Meditation Plane.
However, they were much prettier than the rest, especially in their temperaments. That made Chen Jingzhai’s heart flutter.
Ever since he had become very close to Su Qinghuang, something had changed in him. If he had not finished gathering his Golden Core passage, he would have dragged the new maidservants back to the ship and enjoyed a few happy nights with them.
The maidservants were also excited as they finally had a master. Since the tower ship was too eye-catching, he decided to keep it, with the maidservants from the Liu family on board, in the Primordial Essence World while returning to Daoxuan Peak on the Silver Screen Spirit Cloud he had made in his spare time.
When the clan heard that their Little Master-Uncle had returned, there was a huge uproar, especially in Daoxuan Peak and Tianzhu Peak.
Tianzhu Peak’s Puppet Hall could thrive because of Chen Jignzhai’s help. Many disciples had benefited from that, and the peak had completely changed from its past dull life.
As for Daoxuan Peak, it was natural for them to be excited since it was Chen Jingzhai’s main branch. News of him mastering the Reversed Formation had already been spread throughout the branch long before his return. Now, not a single disciple doubted his ability anymore.
Chen Jingzhai gently passed through the defensive formation of Daoxuan Peak. With a wave of his arm, he sent the maidservants back to Tianyahai Pavillion while he slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of Heaven and Earth Palace.
“Master-Uncle! Welcome back!” Sage Hao Feng greeted him in front of the entrance.
“It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?” Chen Jingzhai grinned. “Is Peak Master inside?”
“Of course, along with the four elders. You have gained a lot of reputation from your trip. Everyone is astonished when they heard that.”
Chen Jingzhai chuckled and headed into the palace with the sage.
Peak Master Yang was waiting inside the building with all four branch elders next to him.
The elders were all Nascent Plane cultivators. Chen Jingzhai had met them once during the ceremony.
With a smile on his face, he bowed to the Peak Master and elders.
“Come on, we should be the one bowing to you.” The Peak Master laughed. “You have further strengthened our clan’s influence during your trip!”
“Peak Master is right.” All the four elders nodded as they looked at Chen Jingzhai as if he was their newfound hope.
The young man chuckled awkwardly.
Su Qinghuang had warned Chen Jingzhai before that Peak Master Yang was a stingy person.
Even if the clan had benefited greatly from the shocking achievements Chen Jingzhai had gained, Daoxuan Peak did not benefit much from it.
In the end, benefits were always more important than reputation.
“It was all by chance,” replied Chen Jingzhai. “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to teach others Lord Ning’s item alchemy inheritance, but I can share some formations. Please, Peak Master and elders, have a look at them.”
The young man then took out his storage bag to retrieve the formation jade slips.
The jade slips contained a few of the formations Chen Jingzhai had mastered.
In total, there were 64 Grade 1 formations, 25 Grade 2 formations, 12 Grade 3 formations, three Grade 4 formations, and one Grade 5 formation.
Chen Jingzhai had personally selected those Daoxuan Peak did not have.
The Peak Master was so excited that he jumped out of his seat to grab the jade slips.
He started reading through them while complimenting his junior brother nonstop.
