Chapter 223: Power Balance |
Chen Wanjun glanced at her, "What do you mean?"
Perhaps because there were no outsiders present, she looked much more natural at this moment, far from before, although friendly, but with a hint of elegance and detachment.
"No need to say more."
The maid smiled and said, "Miss met with that Chen son before, they chatted for two hours, and almost forgot about other things."
"But now, after seeing the other gentlemen, you came back so quickly, doesn't that mean something?"
"What does it mean?"
Chen Wanjun calmly responded, neither confirming nor denying.
"It means that Miss values that Chen son in a special way."
The maid said.
"Miss, are you... falling for him?"
The maid was a bit curious.
"I can't really say."
Chen Wanjun shook her head, with a hint of hesitation on her face, "It's just that compared to the others, he is indeed special, and he suits my taste."
"Unfortunately, his cultivation is a bit lacking."
Chen Wanjun is the eldest daughter of the Chen family and the future head of the Chen family.
If she really wants to choose a husband, she may not be able to say anything else, but cultivation certainly has a hard requirement, it cannot be too low.
Chen An's cultivation at the ninth level of Qi refining may be considered high in other places, but when compared to Chen Wanjun, it is a bit too low.
"I think this Chen son is quite good."
Xiaolan spoke up, "Compared to others, this Chen son has such cultivation at a young age, and he also has excellent alchemy skills, his aptitude must be top-notch."
"If he is cultivated properly, he will definitely be successful in the future, and he can be a good match for the young lady."
She spoke softly.
Chen Wanjun couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
This statement seemed to make sense.
Now does not represent the future, the current cultivation level may not be great, but it does not mean it will always be like this in the future.
Chen An's talent is undoubtedly top-rated based on his current performance, and being an alchemist, he is a professional talent.
If he can be cultivated well, then in time, he will likely achieve limitless success.
As one of the top aristocratic families in Xia King City, the Chen family has the strength and confidence to cultivate anyone with sufficient talent and talents.
In the end, this is a promising stock.
Chen Wanjun couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Some thoughts are fine not to dwell on, but once one starts to ponder, they will find that it doesn't seem right.
Chen Wanjun suddenly felt that Chen An's conditions seemed quite suitable.
A weak cultivation level at the moment means he can be obedient enough, even if they marry in the future, he won't obstruct her in controlling the Chen family's power.
With extraordinary talent, his future achievements will be exceptional, deserving of her status as the future head of the family.
As an alchemist, it's even better, not only does it represent considerable professionalism, but also reduces trouble.
Because technical talents who like to develop professional skills tend to have less desire for power and profit, making him a suitable husband for Chen Wanjun, the future head of the family.
A perfect match!
The more Chen Wanjun thought about it, the more she felt it was appropriate and the more she felt moved.
However, emotions aside, suitability aside, what needs to be done is what needs to be done.
While suitability is important, the present is the most important.
"Unfortunately."
Chen Wanjun sighed with regret, "In normal circumstances, this Chen son would indeed be a good match, but currently, it's not the right time."
As she spoke, the maid Xiaolan beside her fell into silence.
She was Chen Wanjun's personal maid, having grown up with Chen Wanjun since childhood, she naturally understood Chen Wanjun's current situation very well.
Describing Chen Wanjun's current situation as a bit difficult would be an understatement, it could only be described as challenging.
After the disappearance of the former family head, she, as the only daughter of the family head, had become the center of attention.
Almost everyone with ambitions for the family's assets had their eyes on her, their intentions all set on her.
There was no choice, the industry was so rich, and wealth moves people's hearts, as it has always been.
In this situation, what Chen Wanjun needed most was not a promising stock, but someone who could provide her with support.
While promising stocks are good, they still require time and effort to cultivate and grow into towering trees that protect and shelter others.
But if Chen Wanjun couldn't pass this test, then she might not have a future.
Future plans could be put aside.
Power struggles are the most cruel.
If Chen Wanjun loses this time, then her best outcome would be to be confined and controlled for the rest of her life.
In this situation, Chen An as a promising stock didn't seem so suitable anymore.
Thinking of the situation she was currently facing, Chen Wanjun couldn't help but sigh, a hint of weariness showing on her face.
Meanwhile, Chen An had returned to his home.
When he arrived home, before he could do anything, guests arrived outside.
These were people sent by the Chen family to deliver gifts, they were specifically carrying a box.
They placed the items down and then respectfully left, their actions were efficient from start to finish.
Of course, they did not refuse the small gifts Chen An gave them, a few moderately priced but suitable elixirs.
After sending off the guests, Chen An placed the box in the courtyard and slowly opened it.
As the box opened, the items inside were revealed, shiny gold spirit stones.
Simply looking at them, these gold spirit stones were beautiful, with a pure golden hue as if they were the most perfect gemstones, pure and beautiful.
Of course, these items were not just beautiful to Chen An, they held more practical significance as well.
Looking at these gold spirit stones before him, Chen An took a deep breath, then slowly moved forward and extended his hand.
His hand reached out and grasped one of the gold spirit stones.
In the next moment, pure power flowed into his body, giving Chen An a sensation akin to being electrified.
The feeling was so unique and subtle that it left a deep impression.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Chen An's face.
He looked at the template in front of him, the power increased by fifteen points.
As expected, one gold spirit stone could increase the power by about fifteen points.
This number was already considered good.
In the past, in the Daoliang world, after arduous struggle, the power he obtained in a simulation was about the same as this number.
Sometimes even less.
Now, one gold spirit stone could provide this number, and Chen An was already very satisfied.
One gold spirit stone could provide approximately fifteen points of power.
And there were a hundred of these gold spirit stones before him.
In other words, this was a total of one thousand five hundred points of power.
Chen An's eyes lit up immediately.
After experiencing so much time, he had finally accumulated a considerable amount of power.
During the few months he had spent in Xia King City before, he had also purchased many gold spirit stones, accumulating some power.
But while accumulating power, he also had various expenditures, such as improving his alchemy, as well as learning array formations with the array master, both of which required expenses.
So, all in all, the final accumulation was not that much.
But with this hundred gold spirit stones this time, his power balance suddenly became much more abundant.
Now, he could try to do things that he had wanted to do but couldn't before.
Such as learning various array formations, alchemy, all of which he had wanted to learn before.
Of course, if possible, what Chen An wanted most was to improve his cultivation of Qi refining.
Compared to his martial cultivation, his cultivation as a cultivator was still a bit low.
Being at the ninth level of Qi refining might be considered quite good in a small sect like Haoshan Sect, second only to those elders, but in Xia King City, it was just average.
After all, this place was a city of cultivators, with many experts, not comparable to ordinary places.
If Chen An wanted to establish himself and stand firm in this place, his cultivation would need to be raised to the level of Core Formation.
Only then could he directly negotiate with the aristocrats, have a higher say, and gain more benefits.
Unfortunately, although he wanted to improve, the scripture restricted him.
He did not have a suitable cultivation method on hand, so even if he wanted to improve, he couldn't.
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind experiencing the feeling of being overpowered again.
Just hoping that the Miss from the Chen family would give him some surprises.
Chen An thought to himself.
For now, if he wanted to obtain a cultivation method to reach the Core Formation level, the Miss from the Chen family seemed like a reliable path.
She happened to be in a difficult situation, but also had the strength to provide him with a cultivation method.
Looking at her proactive attitude in the past, as long as the price was right, Chen An could completely obtain a suitable cultivation method from her.
Just not sure what he would have to give in return.
The thought flashed through Chen An's mind, then he quietly left.
It was already dusk at this moment, everything around was shrouded in darkness.
The mortals around had finished their busy day and were preparing to rest, while Chen An's work had just begun.
Alchemy, learning array formations, managing business, with these various tasks, Chen An was quite busy.
And now he had an additional task, to alchemize for Chen Wanjun, the Miss of the Chen family, and provide enough elixirs.
