As human beings, the longer they live, the more likely they are to fear death.
Chen Ci embodies this point vividly.
No one knows how long this old man of the Chen family has lived. Even Hilbert Jean Angers, who is now 130 years old, was just a young man when he first met Chen Ci, who was still the head of the Chen family. Add the secret party’s raw melon and eggs.
Chen Ci witnessed with his own eyes that Ange came to China with a group of foreigners, and then got involved with the people of the Tiandihui, and finally deceived the stupid boy from the Lu family to join in the revolution.
I think back then, Chen Ci was also a man of great splendor, and the Chen family grew stronger under the leadership of Chen Ci. Not only did they not fall in those bloody hundred years, but they took advantage of the situation and led the Chen family to wipe out the Chu and Lu families. The power of the Five Families has officially become the Three Families.
The Chen family has also become the leader of the five families.
If you were to ask him if his conscience hurt when he did this, the answer would probably be no.
Chen Ci is a standard family animal. The interests of the family are the highest priority in everything. Blood, emotions, and ethnicity are all means to maintain the existence of the family.
The Chu and Lu families were left with nothing but wreckage, so it was their duty to use what was left to add to the Chen family's fire.
That's what Chen Ci thought.
Later, as time passed, Chen Ci also retreated behind the scenes.
The physical fitness of hybrids is excellent, but the average lifespan is very low. Due to their bloodline, a considerable number of them died on the way to slaying dragons, and some died of bloodline rampage and degenerated into Deadpools.
There are really not many old men like Chen Ci who can retire safely after going through great storms.
One is because Chen Ci is backed by the Chen family and has huge power.
The second reason is that Chen Ci is also very strong and is a rare S-level hybrid.
High-ranking blood brings not only great strength but also a long life. Chen Ci has controlled the power of the Chen family for nearly a hundred years. When he abdicated, his son was over a hundred years old.
After that, the turbulent era passed, and the Chen family entered a stage of stable development.
Chen Ci retreated behind the scenes. Although he was delegating power, some very confidential and important matters were still handled by him personally. What he said was gold-plated in the Chen family and could not be ignored.
The more than 150-year-old leader of the Chen family has been associated with power and power all his life. He once thought that he would be as fearless as Ange, just like Ange who dedicated his life to slaying dragons. He will devote his whole life to the family.
But he was wrong, not everyone is a revengeful man.
Angers' firm belief comes from death. He is a person who has died once, a person who has witnessed death, and a person who has crawled back from hell. Getting a second life is earned in itself, so he is naturally not afraid of death.
Naturally, Chen Ci would not understand Angers obsession.
So as he got older, he gradually felt fear.
He moved into the family ancestral hall to live with his ancestors. He found someone to set up an alchemy circle with the same effect as Yan Ling Dong near his residence. He exchanged blood with the younger members of the family to maintain body functions... …
The strong men of the family throughout the generations will be transformed into deadpools and sealed into secret vaults before they die.
He doesn't want to die.
I don't want to become a useless person without reason and brain and be sealed in the family's secret cellar.
He wants to live.
He wants eternal life.
There is eternal life in this world. Pure-blooded dragons can be reborn in cocoons, as long as they can seize that power...
Chen Ci formulated a series of plans and reached cooperation with foreigners for stronger power, nobler bloodline and longer life.
Originally, Chen Ci had a dispensable attitude towards the magical arts that could be used anywhere. In his opinion, this kind of human power was too insignificant no matter how developed it was.
Even the box eggs made by modern technology are powerless against the Dragon King. The only ones that look interesting are space-based weapons and quantum kinetic energy weapons, but these are only ways to "kill" the Dragon King, but cannot "eliminate" it. "Dragon King, as long as there are eggs, the Dragon King can be reborn indefinitely.
As long as they get the power of the Dragon King, no matter what technology or magic they have, they will all be nothing more than clowns.
When the time comes, let alone shake the foundation of the family, what will happen even if the Chen family is destroyed? As long as you use your hands, you can create several families at will.
Therefore, Chen Ci didn't take the negotiation between Gu Bei and Chen Yuan seriously and just regarded it as a farce.
But as the negotiations deepened, Chen Ci became undecided.
Treat illnesses and injuries? Useless.
Suppress the rampage? interesting.
Rejuvenation? real or fake? ! Wouldn’t that mean eternal life in disguise?
Chen Ci sat up from the rocking chair all of a sudden. Even he didn't notice. His mood fluctuated violently, and even his breathing suddenly became heavier.
But just because he didn't notice it doesn't mean that others didn't notice it, such as Gu Bei who was going back and forth with Chen Yuan in the front hall.
According to common sense, Mr. Chen has experienced great storms and has seen nothing in so many years. It is standard to be indifferent to emotions and anger, so he will not reveal his feet in the negotiation field.
But the bad thing was Gu Bei's fault.
Gu Bei's Liuku Immortal Thief has been trained to be passive and is extremely sensitive to breath. Coupled with the double soul perception of Ju Lingqian Jiang and Shuangquan Hands, no disturbance within a radius of twenty meters can escape Gu Bei's perception.
In addition, the keywords such as longevity and eternal life that Gu Bei deliberately said directly hit Old Man Chen's xp. Old Man Chen couldn't help himself for a moment, and it was only then that Gu Bei caught this momentary reaction.
However, only Gu Bei himself knew this. Neither Chen Yuan, who was opposite Gu Bei, nor the swordsman who was hiding in the middle hall, waiting for the cup to be thrown, nor the old man Chen himself thought that Gu Bei's words were actually a deliberate test. , and also received positive feedback.
They all thought that Gu Bei said that he could stay young forever to prove his worth and increase his bargaining chips.
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Bei's hand with fiery eyes. In his eyes, the flowing red light revealed a vitality that made people salivate.
Although Gu Bei himself couldn't notice anything, he didn't know how this person could see such things as vitality from the Qi. Could it be some kind of perceptual talent?
I don’t understand, but I’m shocked.
In fact, Chen Yuan didn't see anything. He was simply deceived into hallucinating by Gu Bei.
However, Chen Yuan was not an easy person to deal with. He quickly calmed down and said, "Little friend Gu, I think you have misunderstood. What we want is not your magic."
"Um?"
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and restrained the Qi in his hand: "You big families have put so much effort into it, what else could it be for if not for the magic? Don't tell me, just to bring down the generals."
Chen Yuan smiled and poured tea for Gu Bei: "That's just a small part of the reason. Anyone can master the magic, but they are too weak to use the magic normally. If the magic in their hands is used by barbarians from other countries, Take it, don't tell me how far away it is, just say that if the Japanese get it, wouldn't it be a danger to tigers?"
"Little Gu, you don't want your masterpiece to become a weapon that brings trouble to your family and country, right?" Chen Yuandan said calmly.
Gu Bei almost couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
This guy said one thing after another. If Gu Bei hadn't known how strict the restrictions were on learning mid-to-high-end magic, he would have been deceived by him.
It is true that everyone has a copy of "Basic Qi Training Method (Universal Type)" available everywhere, but this thing is to help grassroots employees cultivate Qi sense. It has no actual combat effectiveness at all. It does not even write down how to use Qi, but only cultivates it. Only when you develop your Qi sense can you go one step further and learn the "Xing Qi Method".
Everyone has a copy of "Basic Qi Training Method". Although there are conditions for obtaining "Xing Qi Method", it is not very strict. It is basically about walking around, and you can get it without Qi Sense, but it is not that simple after that.
There are no physical books at all for the most basic applications of foreign arts, such as "Boxing Classic", "Medical Classic", and "Xuan Hu Fang". They are all passed down by word of mouth, and there are also restrictions.
High-end magical arts such as "Ming Soul Technique", "Qi Men", "Control of Objects", and "Condensation Qi" require becoming a core member of Nadutong. By purchasing points from the internal system, specialized personnel will come to your door. Teaching, searching souls at the same time, branding contracts.
Although magical skills such as "Double Hands" and "Liuku Immortal Thief" are publicly sold within the system, the price is 1 point and there is only one condition for sale: to obtain the approval of the chairman.
Under this kind of strict screening, even the members of the five major families can't master a magic trick from anywhere. How can foreigners and Japanese people do it?
Gu Bei just wanted to say hahaha.
However, Gu Bei came here to "surrender" this time, so naturally he couldn't talk nonsense, and his current persona was that he had a grudge against "Everyone Tong", so he could only clasp his fists and follow Chen Yuan's words: "Master Chen That makes sense.”
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Yu Tong is too weak to preserve the magic, but little friend Gu's masterpiece should not be buried like this."
Gu Bei nodded.
"In order to prevent the treasure of Yishu from disappearing in Dutong's hands, little friend Gu can leave a backup plan."
"Master Chen means..."
"Chen is not a person who beats around the bush. Such skills cannot be mastered by everyone, but must be talented and virtuous. Of course, this talented person must be little brother Gu. In terms of virtue... Although Chen is not Talent, but as the head of the Chen family, Tian’s virtue cannot be compromised, and he deserves to be called virtuous.”
Gu Beipi looked at Chen Yuan with a smile as he boasted. It seemed that Chen Yuan could take the position of the head of the Chen family because of his thick-faced and evil-hearted virtues. Facing Gu Bei's gaze, he didn't blush even once and continued. The mouth is like a river.
"Brother Gu is talented and Mr. Chen is virtuous. The two of us are talented and virtuous people. Little brother can just bring his magic to join our Chen family. Our Chen family is also considered to be a big family and we will definitely be able to Protect my little brother and prevent those Japanese and foreigners from taking away this magical method from my Chen family."
Chen Yuan's love words were warm and Kang's emotions were passionate. From the beginning of caring about children, to caring about little brothers, and then to calling little brothers directly, he gradually got closer to Gu Bei, and Gu Bei was so moved that he burst into tears and stood up with tears streaming down his face. He cupped his fists and made a bow: "Master Chen..."
Chen Yuan smiled very cordially: "Just call me Brother Chen."
Gu Bei became even more excited: "Brother Chen!"
"Brother Gu!"
"Brother Chen!"
"Brother Gu!"
"It is my blessing to have such a big brother."
"Thank you very much. Having a younger brother like you has also benefited a lot from me."
Gu Bei wiped away his excited tears and said, "Brother Chen, I have one more thing, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."
Chen Yuan laughed loudly: "Brother Gu, there is no harm in talking."
Gu Bei nodded and asked seriously: "What benefits will you give me if I join the Chen family?"
"Eh?"
The atmosphere suddenly stopped, just like the BGM that had just started playing. However, before the intro was finished, it suddenly stopped, directly dodging the waists of everyone.
Install the latest version. 】
Chen Yuan's face hardened and he looked at Gu Bei: "Brother Gu means..."
Gu Bei smiled, as bright as a flower: "We are brothers who have settled accounts. If I join the Chen family, what benefits will the Chen family give me? You know, I am a consultant on the study of foreign arts and the original inventor of foreign arts. , No one in this world knows magic better than me, I want to know what price the Chen family can offer me."
The corner of Chen Yuan's mouth twitched as he looked at Gu Bei who was just as shameless as he was just now.
He really didn't expect that there were people in the world who were thicker-skinned than him. In the atmosphere just now, he could suddenly step out and ask for benefits. It was a bit shameless.
However, Gu Bei also had considerations in this.
In the situation just now, Gu Beida could have taken advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to ambush inside the Chen family, spread a large number of modified magic spells, and fish in troubled waters in the subsequent battle with Nadutong, but he did not choose to do so.
Because he is not a fool, Chen Yuan is not a fool, and the old man hiding behind and taking charge of the overall situation is even less likely to be a fool.
Why did Gu Bei have a "difference" with Nadutong?
Because Gu Bei "has a very high opinion of himself" and thinks that Mighty Tong has "mistreated" him, so he turns around to deal with Mighty Tong.
Then why did you lose this arrogance when you joined the Chen family?
If Gu Bei doesn't want anything and just joins the Chen family, things will be done, but it will inevitably arouse the Chen family's suspicion. Gu Bei will not be able to access more in-depth information by then, and the mission will be the same as failure.
But at this time, Gu Bei pulled away, retreated in order to advance, and took the opportunity to ask for benefits. Not only could he reduce suspicion, but he could also leave the Chen family with the impression that he was a money-grubbing person who was easy to control. At that time, no matter what Gu Bei did, he would not have to tie his hands.
And you can also make some extra money, which is probably a good thing.
Gu Bei didn't follow the routine, which made Chen Yuan feel a little uncomfortable. Although he knew that it was a good thing for Gu Bei to ask for favors. This could prove that Gu Bei was indeed eccentric to everyone, but...
Just angry.
However, Chen Yuan, as the head of the Chen family like Chen Ci, is standard in keeping his emotions and anger a secret. He looked at Gu Bei with a kind face: "I wonder what brother Gu wants?"
Gu Bei thought for a moment, and was about to order something that meant a hundred years of wild ginseng, a thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum, and ten thousand years of Tai Sui, when he suddenly saw one of the Eight Wonders he had just unlocked: Divine Machine Hundred Refining.
He rolled his eyes and thought about it.
Chen Yuan felt a chill in his back for no reason, and Chen Ci felt the same.
Gu Bei chuckled: "I'm not asking too much, give me some alchemy weapons, and I'll start with ten or eight."
Chen Yuan:......
Blanch!
