Chapter 437 Long-termism!

Fan Jie brought Xin Zhen to the courtyard where his family lived.

Xin Zhen took a look at the scale of this courtyard and other mansions, and looked at Fan Jie with some surprise.

After Xin Zhen entered the city, he looked around and saw how tall and magnificent the mansions were. However, Fan Jie's residence was just a courtyard that could only be considered nice. This nice courtyard was compared to the courtyards of ordinary people. Compared with other mansions, it was much more shabby.

Fan Jie smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I don't really care about these things, and I have fallen into depravity over the years, and my status in the clan... Hehe, it doesn't matter."

Xin Zhen's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Master won't help you either?"

Fan Jie shook his head and said, "It's not that my elder brother doesn't want to help me, but as the clan leader, he also has many things to balance, so this matter can't be blamed on him."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Forget it. It's not convenient for me to take care of your family affairs. Father-in-law, you can go to Wujiang with me, mother-in-law, and Shiyi Niang. You have no sons, only a daughter. If you leave your daughter, I can't bear it. If you go to Wujiang, and Shiyi Niang and I serve you, isn't it better than being looked down upon here?"

Fan Jie smiled and said, "I appreciate your filial piety, but it is not reasonable to let your daughter and son-in-law take care of you in your old age. Don't tell others about it or they will laugh at you.

Also, if your mother-in-law and I lived with you, people who didn’t know would think you were marrying into the family, which would not be good for you.”

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "What's there to be ashamed of? What others think of me has nothing to do with me. Not only do I want to bring my father-in-law and mother-in-law to live in Wujiang's home, I also want to choose a smart and clever child with the surname Fan from my offspring with Shiyi Niang in the future."

When Xin Zhen said this, Fan Jie was immediately moved and asked, "Weizhi, are you serious?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but father-in-law, please don't let him come to the Fan family. Your legitimate son has been treated like this. If a child born by a married woman comes to the Fan family to recognize his ancestry, he will suffer a lot of grievances. Although I, Xin Zhen, am incompetent, I can also lay a foundation for him."

Xin Zhen then told Fan Jie about Longhu Mountain's appointment of him. Fan Jie was horrified after hearing it and said, "This matter... is a life-or-death situation!"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I originally wanted to borrow a few Jindan cultivators from the Fan family, but now it seems that I was just daydreaming."

Fan Jie frowned and said nothing. After a long while, he said, "Weizhi, do you really want to choose a son with the surname Fan?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "If my father-in-law doesn't believe me, I can swear to the gods."

Fan Jie waved his hands and said, "That's not necessary. I trust you, but forget about the Fan family's Jindan cultivators. It's not a question of looking down on them, but the Fan family itself is stretched to the limit.

There are many aristocratic families in Anhui, and there is also the inheritance of Jiuhua Mountain. Although the Fan family is powerful, it is not easy to take over Anhui in the face of so many forces. "

Xin Zhen nodded to show his understanding. There were indeed many aristocratic families in Anhui. The Fan family of Luyang was just one of them. As far as Xin Zhen had heard of, there were also the He family of Lujiang, the Tao family of Danyang, the Zhu family of Peiguo, and even the Yizhi family of Longhu Mountain nearby. The forces between them were intertwined and complicated.

Fan Jie said, "After I talk to my elder brother about this, we will go to Wujiang with you."

Xin Zhen was overjoyed and said, "This is the best. First, it will be convenient for me and Eleventh Lady to serve the two elders. Second, my father-in-law can help me find some talents to recruit."

Fan Jie smiled and said, "The latter one is probably the reason why you are exerting so much effort."

Xin Zhen heard this and said seriously: "My son-in-law is sincere in his heart. Father-in-law, please don't doubt me like this. In my eyes, my parents are my parents, and Shiyi Niang's parents are naturally my parents as well. There is no difference between them."

Fan Jie patted Xin Zhen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go see Shiyi Niang and the others."

Fan Jie brought Xin Zhen into the yard. Fan Shiyi Niang and mother-in-law came out upon hearing the news. Ren Yingying and others also came happily.

Fan Shiyi Niang was shy and timid, which made Ren Yingying laugh softly.

Fan Jie was very happy to get Xin Zhen's promise, and asked his wife to prepare a banquet to entertain Xin Zhen. Mrs. Fan was even more delighted when she learned of Xin Zhen's promise. She had always felt guilty for not giving birth to a son for Fan Jie, and now she had a sudden turn of events with Xin Zhen. She was extremely grateful and put all her heart into preparing the banquet.

That night, Xin Zhen drank and chatted happily with Fan Jie and his wife, as well as Fan Shiyi Niang. The banquet was full of joy, and Fan Jie did not ask Fan Shiyi Niang to be shy about anything. This was naturally because Xin Zhen's promise had worked.

However, Xin Zhen lived in the courtyard where Ren Yingying and Feng Sanniang lived. Ren Yingying and Feng Sanniang were both regarded as Xin Zhen's concubines, so naturally they were the ones who served him.

Xin Zhen checked the cultivation of Pei Ziheng and the other four children one by one. In fact, they had only been practicing for a few days and had made some progress, but it was not particularly great. Xin Zhen encouraged them a few words. He mainly checked the progress of Xin Qi and Feng Sanniang. Xin Qi had been practicing Quanxin Heart Method for quite some time. This time he checked the revised Quanxin Heart Method. Xin Zhen was quite satisfied with this check. Xin Qi had already entered the door. As long as he practiced well for a period of time, and then practiced Yijin Duangu Chapter, the speed of practice would be faster.

But what gave Xin Zhen more surprise was Feng Sanniang. Xin Zhen taught Feng Sanniang four skills from the Nine Yin Scriptures: Yi Jin Jian Gu Chapter, Migrating Soul Method, Snake Walk and Cat Flip, and Crushing Divine Claw.

The chapter on strengthening bones and tendons has been successful. Feng Sanniang has completed her true transformation. The demonic aura on her body has been completely eliminated, and her cultivation has made a great step forward. She has already completed the furnace casting, and the next step is to enter the ranks of great demons.

The Soul Transfer Technique is not that easy to practice. Up to now, Feng Sanniang has only learned a little bit of it. I'm afraid it's not that easy to learn.

But the divine claws that can break bones and the serpentine crawling and flipping of the raccoon were probably extremely compatible with the physical talents of the fox clan, so Feng Sanniang also managed to master them.

Feng Sanniang demonstrated to Xin Zhen that under the claws, ordinary bricks, stones and wooden pillars could be easily cut like tofu. Even the hardest iron could be cut like mud by Feng Sanniang's claws. It was worthy of being the unique skill of the golden-winged Roc.

The Snake-like and Cat-like Flips opened Xin Zhen's eyes and made him truly realize why monsters could compete with humans. Feng Sanniang used the Snake-like and Cat-like Flips and simply rolled to the ground and disappeared. Xin Zhen tried to chase Feng Sanniang, but without using the sword ball, he could not catch up with her for a while, which shows how fast she was.

Xin Zhen praised: "With this skill, you will be much safer when traveling around the world. If you can't win, just run away."

Feng Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled.

Xin Zhen checked Ren Yingying's progress naturally in the boudoir. Although Xin Qifeng Sanniang's progress was fast, it was through Ren Yingying that Xin Zhen understood what talent was.

In a short period of time, Ren Yingying had already mastered the general outline of the Nine Yin Scriptures, and the chapter on strengthening bones and tendons was also close to perfection. Her every move was full of great strength, and her muscles and bones were so strong that even Xin Zhen could not help but be shocked.

You have to know that Xin Zhen is a warrior, and he is about to break through to the martial courage realm. The Pure Yang Wuji Gong that he practices has a strengthening effect on the body. Compared with the average warrior, his physical strength is much stronger.

Moreover, Xin Zhen also practiced the Iron Shirt of the Nine Yin Scriptures, which greatly enhanced his physical strength.

But Ren Yingying's physical strength is not inferior to his. Even if there is a gap, it is not far away. It is true that the physical talents of the demon race are too strong.

Of course, the contribution of the Yi Jin Bones and Muscle Strengthening Chapter is also not small. The effect of the Yi Jin Bones and Muscle Strengthening Chapter on the body of monsters is unimaginable.

Feng Sanniang also mentioned to Xin Zhen many times that after she practiced the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter, her physical strength increased by more than ten times, and her physical power also increased greatly. It was indeed worthy of being the holy book of the demon clan.

Xin Zhen was very pleased with the progress of Ren Yingying, Feng Sanniang and others, and he also gained confidence in the major events in the East Road of Jiangnan.

He has so many secret books in his hands, some of which have been proven to be top-notch cultivation methods, while some have not yet been proven. However, he can roughly guess that there should be no fake ones.

This is a huge resource for cultivation. Judging from his own experience in seeking the Tao, it is too difficult for people in the world to seek the Tao, and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to obtain cultivation resources. The great inheritances will keep the cultivation resources tightly in their own hands and are not willing to pass them out at all.

For example, Longhu Mountain wanted me to go to Jiangnan East Road to work, but they only provided me with money and elixirs, but no methods to practice.

Zhang Gongyu and Xin Zhen specifically explained that it was not that Longhu Mountain was stingy, but that all inheritances were like this. Unless one was a disciple accepted into the sect from a young age, it would be impossible for others to obtain the sect's cultivation methods.

This made Xin Zhen quite grateful to Yu Boyi, who passed on the Wu Hou Jue to him. Yu Boyi, despite the great taboo in the world, gave him the Wu Hou Jue, which showed his intentions.

With the top secret manuals in hand and his father-in-law Fan Jie's keen eye for talent, he would be able to discover people with excellent talents, recruit them with his skills, and slowly build up a force naturally.

As for taking over the eastern route of Jiangnan, Xin Zhen was not in a hurry. He just needed to take it slow. Only when his strength improved could he talk about defending an area.

As for Longhu Mountain, there is no need to worry about it. Longhu Mountain just placed a chess piece there. After all, so many elite soldiers and generals have failed. How can our side succeed? Even if it succeeds, it will not be possible in a short time.

Therefore, there is no time limit for this task, just take your time. At most, give some results every once in a while, so that Zhang Gongyu can have something to talk about and consolidate his position. This will also give you the confidence to ask for money and food.

This is also the reason why Xin Zhen took on the task. In the eyes of the people in Longhu Mountain, this was a life-or-death situation, and that was because they believed in the theory of a quick victory.

But in Xin Zhen's view, it is not that dangerous, because as long as we proceed steadily and adhere to long-termism, it will not be that dangerous.
