Chapter 227 On the Development of the Wen Family
Wenwen led her younger siblings at the front, with her older siblings and father behind her on the sides and behind. Everyone formed a circle around the children, protecting them as they walked forward together.
Although the reconnaissance technique revealed that no large wild animals were found nearby, the occasional rabbit that jumped out would only peek out briefly when it heard a sound before quickly hiding again.
The ascent was uneventful, and we reached the halfway point without any trouble.
The scenery is particularly beautiful halfway up the mountain.
Looking down from here, you can see the entire bamboo courtyard, and if you look closely, you can vaguely see a few people working in the courtyard.
"Hey, what do you think Grandpa and the others do at home?" Out of curiosity, Wen Chengbin asked a particularly stupid question.
Wen Chengmo, always ready to contradict, didn't hold back in provoking him, "Weren't you just showing off in front of your second sister and the others? Come on, since you're so capable, hurry up and see what Grandfather and the others are doing."
Cultivators with spiritual power generally have better eyesight than ordinary people.
Wen Chengbin couldn't resist the little guy's provocation, "Wait, I'll tell you once I see it clearly."
Wen Chengbin walked to an open space and poured his spiritual energy into his eyes. He went from being full of hope to being full of disappointment. Unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low, and he still couldn't see clearly until his spiritual energy was exhausted.
"Well, did you see it clearly?" Wen Chengmo asked with a mocking glance.
Hmph, who told my second brother to make my sisters cry? He knows how hard they try, they just don't know the right way. He has to teach my second brother a lesson for his sisters.
"Sigh, looks like it's going to be tough! Second brother is only half-baked!" After Wen Chengmo finished speaking, he said to Wenwen, "Fifth sister, you're really something. Look what Grandfather and the others are doing!"
Wenwen jokingly replied, "What's wrong? You've only been away for a short while and you already miss your grandfather?"
The little guy grinned and admitted, "I want to—"
That's easy. Wenwen focused her spiritual energy into her eyes and after a few breaths, she said directly, "Grandfather is repairing the roof, your father and third uncle are cutting bamboo, and your eldest aunt's husband and youngest aunt's husband are building a fence."
Wen Chengmo exclaimed loudly, "Wow, Fifth Sister is so amazing! Unlike someone who's just laughing at someone else's shortcomings..."
"Cough—" Wen Chengbin choked on his own saliva before he could react.
So that's where he was waiting.
Wen Chengbin remained silent, but don't think he didn't know that this brat was making veiled attacks.
However, he is magnanimous and doesn't hold grudges; he has a good temper.
Unlike the others who were playing around, Wen Qilin stood in an open area, looking around.
In fact, ever since he stepped into the world of cultivation, Wen Yuanqian had discussed the future development of the Wen family with the pillars of his family.
Although they are criminals at this time and still have to hand over a considerable amount of iron ore every month, no one can say for sure how long this criminal status will last. Without delaying the payment of ore, it is not a bad strategy for the entire Wen family to stay in the valley and cultivate.
Danger and opportunity coexist.
The best course of action is to be prepared before an opportunity arises.
He knew that many things were essential for the development of a family.
He knew even better that, whether in the mortal world or the world of cultivators, everything was based on strength, which included manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Without absolute strength, one had no say and could only survive in the cracks.
At present, the Wen family should prioritize people's well-being, and then deal with the rest gradually.
Putting people first undoubtedly requires improving everyone's cultivation level. There is no shortcut to improving cultivation level; the only effective way is to be down-to-earth and exchange time for cultivation. This was mentioned in the book, and Wenwen also said that when one's cultivation level advances, the first thing that happens is the release of a pressure that mortals cannot withstand.
Currently, there are still more than a dozen members of the Wen family who have not yet entered the sect. In order to avoid causing danger to everyone, it is necessary to carve a cave in the mountain.
Wen Qilin circled around the mountainside a few times and found that the location was acceptable. He could see the bamboo courtyard at the foot of the mountain clearly, and the distance was just right. If needed, it wouldn't take much time to go back and forth. He made up his mind.
"Wen'er, what do you think of this place? You guys should also give your opinions and share your thoughts."
Wen Qilin was very democratic. He consulted everyone's opinions and finally focused on asking Wen Chengxi, "Sanlang, take a good look at this place for your uncle. Which way should the door face? This is a very important matter and we can't be careless."
Wenwen: "Father, I think it's a good idea. It's not far from the Bamboo Courtyard, so it'll be a quick trip back and forth."
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin agreed, "It's not far. If we cook a meal and deliver it over, it will still be hot."
After reviewing it based on his intuition, Moon Sung-hee also thought it was quite good, with only one minor suggestion.
"Uncle, I suggest that the large caves face the hospital, and the rest of the smaller ones can be arranged in a row around the mountainside."
On the way, everyone discussed that they must build a large cave, at least large enough to accommodate their entire family. Everyone would be cultivating here in the future, so how could they do it without a large space? As for smaller caves, they could carve three or four at a certain distance from each other, and they could deal with that later if needed.
After everyone reached a consensus and the location was determined, Wenwen immediately opened fire on the stone wall.
With her current cultivation level, the power of her fireball spell is now vastly different from what it used to be.
A series of deafening sounds rang out from the mountainside, and in an instant, the outline of a large cave appeared.
Repairing the interior of the cave was no longer her job; she followed the same method and the small cave was quickly completed as well.
Wenwen clapped her hands. "Alright, Daddy, brothers and sisters, I'll leave the details to you. I'm going to play now."
After saying that, he led a few children and ran wildly up the mountain.
Seeing the figures of one adult and several children, Wen Qilin hurriedly called to the people beside him: "Dalang, Xia'er, Mai Mai, you guys follow them, but remember not to go too far, and come back soon."
"understood."
After receiving permission, the three of them followed the figures of the people in front of them and ran over.
......
A bamboo house hall at the foot of the mountain.
Master Zhou meticulously analyzed the Qi Refining Formula for the entire group of women present—elders, peers, and juniors—word by word, explaining it over and over again. He went on to explain it seven or eight times, if not ten. What he could recite by heart was like climbing to heaven for these women.
Fortunately, he was a teacher, very patient, and would fully support his students as long as they did not give up.
Persistence pays off. After explaining it 36 times, whether by rote memorization or by interspersing unconventional questions, someone finally offered a feasible suggestion.
"Master, we understand the meaning of the incantation. Could you demonstrate it for us, taking into account the feeling of spiritual energy entering the body?"
Master Zhou: "...Alright."
Finally, someone made this suggestion. The fact that they were able to make this suggestion means that their familiarity with the mnemonic has improved. They have taken the first step and moved on to the second step. So, he led everyone in demonstrating it.
Master Zhou sat cross-legged, observing everyone's condition and explaining it in light of the external situation, while also paying attention to the concentration of spiritual energy around him.
I don't know if it's because there are so few people here, but it felt like it didn't take long before the spiritual energy around us gradually increased.
"After you sense the spiritual energy, use your mind to guide it along the meridians and acupoints. Take it slowly, don't rush... Guide it through the entire body's energy pathways, and try to store it in your dantian... Maintain this state..."
At first, Master Zhou was able to multitask, but as the surrounding spiritual energy increased and became thicker, he became a little itchy and eventually joined the formation.
The bamboo house gradually quieted down, and time slowly passed.
The group of people who were tinkering with the bamboo courtyard outside suddenly noticed fluctuations in spiritual energy nearby. Out of curiosity, they walked towards the source of the fluctuations.
