Chapter 171: Benefits Can’t Balance Everything (1)

He transferred six cultivation techniques and array knowledge into Chen Daoxuan’s consciousness.
Even though his divine sense was comparable to that of a Zifu Disciple’s…
He also felt that it was a little strenuous.
The red-haired cultivator surnamed Zhang looked at Chen Daoxuan and said,””The thousand-year Vermilion Fruit you want will only be delivered after some time.”
“After a while?” Chen Daoxuan frowned.”
“Yes,”
The red-haired cultivator checked and said,” Your luck is not bad. There happens to be a frontline transport ship in the Azure Continent Immortal City at the moment. It will come once in about three days.
However, the transportation fee will be paid by the troops.”
“Transportation fee?”
Chen Daoxuan was surprised.
“Of course, you need transportation fees. Otherwise, how much face do you have to have for a frontline carrier to make a trip for you?”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan said helplessly,””Didn’t you say that the frontline transport ship is in Cang Zhou Immortal City? Can’t I get it myself?”
Hearing this, the red-haired cultivator’s face was filled with deep meaning.”Transporting all kinds of resources to the frontline soldiers is also a source of wealth for a senior of the Qianyuan Sword Sect. Are you sure you want to do this?”
“This…”
Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands.” I didn’t know. Please forgive me.

Since it involved the interests of the higher-ups of the Qianyuan Sword Sect, he naturally would not break this rule and make others unhappy.
It was just a matter of spending some spirit stones to gain battle merits, so there was no need to offend anyone.
Seeing how tactful Chen Daoxuan was, the red-haired cultivator couldn’t help but think more highly of him.
In the Infinite Star Sea.
There were many talented cultivators who were arrogant and ignorant when they were young. They didn’t know that they had unknowingly offended many people they couldn’t afford to offend.
These cultivators often ended up in a miserable state.
Obviously.
This sword cultivator called Chen Daoxuan in front of him knew when to retreat and when to give up.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Zhou family and the Yang family were so optimistic about this young cultivator.
It was not just because of his talent in the way of the sword, but also because of other characteristics on him.
If a person only had talent but made enemies everywhere.
This kind of person was destined not to go far.
Only people like Chen Daoxuan, who had talent and shrewdness, could walk a long way on the complicated path of cultivation.
“You need to pay 100 contribution points or 10,000 spirit stones to transport a thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit from the Cang Prefecture Immortal City. You can choose either method of payment.”
“I choose to use spirit stones.”
The red-haired cultivator surnamed Zhang nodded his head, not surprised by Chen Daoxuan’s choice.
On the frontlines of the Yun Nation, most cultivators who needed to exchange for special resources used spirit stones to pay for transportation.
After all, war credits could buy many resources that could not be bought with a normal price.
In the eyes of cultivators, it was much more precious than spirit stones.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to exchange 10 points for 12 spirit stones.
In less than three days.
A streak of light flew towards the Zhou Clan’s encampment in Guang ‘an City.
Chen Daoxuan stood in front of the hall.
His gaze narrowed slightly. The person before him was also a Zifu Disciple, but his level of cultivation was too low, so he couldn’t tell exactly what level of Zifu Disciple the other party was at.
But he could sense that this person was definitely not an early Zifu Disciple.
The person was wearing a green Daoist robe, and a jade crown was rolled up on his head. His face was thin, and he looked energetic.
Seeing the Zifu Disciple surnamed Zhang, the person immediately cupped his hands and said,”Senior Brother Zhang!”
“Yes.”
The red-haired cultivator surnamed Zhang nodded.” Did you bring the thing?”
“Yes, it’s here.”
As he spoke, he took out a jade box from his storage bag. The entire jade box was sealed by a restriction.
Seeing this.
The red-haired cultivator surnamed Zhang took the jade box from the young Zifu Disciple, then handed it to Chen Daoxuan.”
“Good!”
Chen Daoxuan eagerly took the jade box and immediately removed the restriction on it. After carefully examining it, he nodded and said,” The item is correct.”
After speaking, he looked at the Zifu Disciple who had delivered the goods for him, clasped his hands, and thanked him.’Thankyou, Senior!”
“It’s no trouble at all. In the future, if you have such good things, just call me more often.”
This Zifu Disciple called Zheng Heng cupped his hands politely, not looking down on Chen Daoxuan in the slightest because of his low level of cultivation.
Seeing the other party staring at him, Chen Daoxuan immediately took out a storage bag from his waist and handed it over. He said,”These are the spirit stones I prepared. Senior, please take a look.”
Hearing this.
Zheng Heng took the storage bag without hesitation and entered his divine sense into the storage bag in front of the two of them to count.
Not long after.
Zheng Heng raised his head and cupped his hands with a smile.’That’s right, it’s exactly 10,000 spirit stones.”
Chen Daoxuan quickly returned the greeting.
Zheng Heng nodded and bid farewell to the red-haired cultivator surnamed Zhang. He then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared in front of the two of them.
Watching Zheng Heng leave, Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands at the red-haired cultivator surnamed Zhang and said,””Since that’s the case, it’s time for me to return to the western defense area.”
The red-haired cultivator nodded and said,”Take care, I won’t see you out!

“Farewell!”
After saying that.
Chen Daoxuan flew towards Shuanghu Island.
Chen Daoxuan had to go back and digest the various resources he had exchanged for his battle credits.
To his surprise, the price of high-grade cultivation methods was too expensive.
Fortunately, in the Infinite Star Sea, there was a way for cultivators to obtain high-level cultivation methods.
This practice of the Qianyuan Sword Sect undoubtedly gave the lowest-level rogue cultivators a ladder to high-level cultivators.
This was also the reason why there had been an endless stream of middle and high-level itinerant cultivators in the past 400 years.
In less than half a day.
Chen Daoxuan’s light faded and landed on the Chen family’s spirit vein on Shuanghu Island.
Feeling the abundant spiritual energy of the second-grade spiritual vein, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but smile.
Chen Daoxuan swept his divine sense around and didn’t alarm anyone. He headed straight for the clan school.
Changping First Cultivation Primary School.
It had been half a year since the second batch of cultivators from the lucky generation entered the school.
In the clan school.
Other than Chen Xianhe, who was an old teacher who stayed here all the year round, young cultivators of the Dao generation often came to the clan school as guest teachers to teach the disciples of the Fu generation all kinds of knowledge.
On the contrary, Chen Daoxuan was busy with the family.
The amount of time he had spent in the clan school in the past two years could be counted on one hand.
Even the classes he had set up for the Sword Dao and Talisman Making were often absent due to the lack of teachers.
Kendo class was still manageable.
Chen Xianhe could take over for a while.
After all, Chen Xianhe had been immersed in the Wind Chasing Sword Technique for his entire life and had already reached the great success stage.
It wasn’t a problem for him to give some pointers to the cultivators of the Fu generation who didn’t know anything.
In the Talisman Crafting class, no cultivator in the Chen family could replace Chen Daoxuan.
This was because other than Chen Daoxuan, no cultivator in the Chen family knew how to make spiritual talismans.
When Chen Daoxuan walked to the door of the classroom, Chen Xianhe was teaching Kendo class on behalf of him.
“The essence of the Wind Chasing Sword Technique lies in the word ’fast!”
As Chen Xianhe spoke, he took out a scarlet flying sword from his storage pouch.
Under his control, the Scarlet Shadow Flying Sword circled above everyone’s heads.
After a while.
The scarlet flying sword turned into a ball of shadow that could not be seen clearly.
“When a flying sword reaches a certain speed, not only will its power increase greatly, but it will also make it impossible for the enemy to guard against it. When cultivated to the extreme, your flying sword will already take the enemy’s head before the cultivator’s divine sense can react.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The flying sword suddenly disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes. In the next moment, the flying sword suddenly appeared in front of the forehead of a cultivator of the Fu generation and suddenly hovered.
“Wow!”
In the classroom.
The cultivators of the Fu generation clapped their hands and burst into thunderous cheers.
“Hahaha!
Chen Xianhe stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
Compared to the boring and complicated knowledge of weapon refinement and pill refinement, flying sword lessons were more likely to make cultivators of the Fu generation obsessed.
Regrettably, Chen Daoxuan, who had started this course, had never taught the cultivators of the Fu generation a few proper sword arts lessons.
Outside the classroom.
Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the harmonious scene between the young and old of the Chen family.
On campus.
Chen Xianhe and Chen Xuan walked side by side on the avenue of the campus.
“Your breath control technique is getting more and more powerful. 1 actually didn’t know you were back when you were standing beside me.”
Chen Xian and Elder He Cang had a complicated expression on their faces.
Chen Daoxuan smiled.” It’s not that my Breath Holding Skill is outstanding. It’s just that Thirteenth Uncle, you’ve been teaching too seriously. That’s why you didn’t notice my return.””
Hearing this.
” Don’t comfort me.” Chen Xianhe smiled and waved his hand.” I’m not a child. Haha!””
Then, he changed the topic.” Oh right, how are the pills you sold to the front line?”
“Half of it will be settled with spirit stones, and the other half will be settled with battle merits. In total, you will receive 53,500 contribution points.”
“So many?”
Chen Xianhe looked at him in surprise. He did some calculations and nodded,””In that case, we’ve made a profit. Although one small merit can be exchanged for one spirit stone, if you want to use spirit stones to buy merit points, the premium will be quite high.”
“Indeed.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded.
Then, he took out a jade box and said with a smile,”Oh right, I bought a gift for you, Thirteenth Uncle.”
“Hmm?”
Chen Xianhe stopped in his tracks.
He took the jade box from Chen Daoxuan and slowly opened it after removing the restriction.
Only to see.
A red jade-like spiritual fruit lay quietly in the jade box.
“Qian…A thousand-year red fruit?”
Chen Xianhe’s voice trembled slightly as he looked at Chen Daoxuan, not knowing what to say.
“Dao Xuan thinks that my Chen Family still needs Thirteenth Uncle to work hard for the family for a period of time.”
He looked at Chen Xianhe with a smile.
Hearing this.
Chen Xianhe had mixed feelings.
If Chen Xianhe was asked if he was afraid of death, he would definitely be. Anyone who was still conscious was not afraid of death.
However, he would rather die than let Chen Xianhe sacrifice his family’s interests in exchange for his own life.
However…
Chen Xianhe knew that this jade box contained not only the family’s interests, but also Chen Daoxuan’s kinship with him.
“I accept your gift.”
Chen Xianhe heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though he had bought the thousand-year red fruit behind Thirteenth Uncle’s back, Thirteenth Uncle, who knew its price, might very well sell it.
Because in Chen Xianhe’s eyes.
For an old cultivator like him who was destined not to be able to reach Foundation Establishment, it was unwise to spend more than a million spirit stones in the clan.
However, Chen Xianhe knew that not everything in this world could be measured by benefits.
For example, Chen Daoxuan’s feelings for him.
He had always taught Chen Daoxuan to have feelings for the family since he was young and not to abandon it.
This naturally included his feelings for Chen Xianhe.
If Chen Daoxuan was willing to give up on Chen Xianhe for the sake of the family, then he would be willing to do so.
Then would he give up the entire family for the sake of benefits one day?
Chen Xianhe was relieved.
He felt that his teaching of Chen Daoxuan was successful.
All these years, Chen Daoxuan’s actions had not let him down, nor had he let down the expectations of the Chen clan’s ancestors, nor had he let down the Chen clan’s descendants.
Therefore, what reason did he have to reject this gift?
