Thinking about this, he couldn't help but think about the wolf's explanation of the Shengang lineage, why Shengang was a seven-star, and Shengang's previous Tongxuan was only a four-star.

This standard of one to seven stars is comparable to the Shinto cultivation of the Eastern Wilderness Spirit Qi Divine Wheel, in fact, all cultivation is generally in this vein, including the martial artist first exercises the muscles and bones wing membrane, then accumulates qi, and then cultivates the nine orifices.

One to three stars is the exercise of the body, the use of strength, and then it should be the refining of qi or the refining of qi, the use of energy, and then the refining of the gods, how is it all such a routine.

In other words, the essence and spirit are the foundation of all paths, and all cultivation methods that are not based on the essence and spirit are problematic. For example, those beings who have inexplicably gained great power throughout the ages are either powerful stand-in puppets or substitutes elected by the world.

From this point of view, Tongxuan is only equivalent to the initial stage of "refining Qi", and then there is the use of "Qi" and the process of feeding oneself, and then it can jump to a higher level.

As for the Shen Gang, it is still in the stage of "Qi", but because it can be consciously envoyed to the Gang Sha, it is partly involved in the realm of "God", so it is defined as the Seven Stars.

In other words, Shen Gang can only be judged to be six stars comprehensively, just because Chen An's own martial arts master realm, the "god" is much stronger than the original Chu Han, so that this is reflected in his cultivation, so his Shen Gang realm was judged by the Youtian Alliance to be seven stars.

In other words, the other gods were actually only five or six stars, and they couldn't reach the level of being noticed by the Youtian Alliance. Therefore, Chu Han has been at the peak of Xuanxuan for so many years, and he is also a figure in the entire Great Song Kingdom, and he has never heard of the organization of the Youtian Alliance, let alone the Yulan Ghost City.

However, it can't be so arbitrary, after all, from the words of the wild wolf, Chen An also heard that the Great Song Kingdom can only be regarded as a poor country in the Youyuan Heaven, and there may not be too high-end warlocks at all.

There is no basis for it, and it is useless to think too much, Chen An couldn't help but put it aside for the time being, and focused on cultivation first.

More than a month passed in a hurry.

In the past month, Chen An has spent most of his time in cultivation, and the affairs at home only occasionally pay attention to the progress and adjust the direction.

During this period, he entered the town again, and it was as lively as usual, but he didn't find any treasures, and it was still too difficult to achieve a result that satisfied both parties in the form of bartering.

"Good news, head of the house. ”

On this day, as soon as Chen An finished his cultivation, Chu Yan rushed over.

"What's going on?"

The previous few things have been arranged for more than a month, and it should be harvest time, so when he heard Chu Yan's good news, Chen An asked directly.

Walking into the residence of the head of the family, Chu Yan couldn't help but shudder, and his heart sank, the skill of the head of the family was getting deeper and deeper, and he didn't know what level this chill had reached.

The originally excited mood was gradually cooled by this cold, Chu Yan calmed down, and replied respectfully: "Uncle Wang's position of Taishou has been taken down, and from now on, Jingmen City will be surnamed Chu." ”

"As expected, my family's strength is increasing day by day, and it is more than enough to match a Jingmen City, and the bigwigs in Beijing are so concerned with King Xian that they have no time to take care of our actions, and it is nothing to take a position as a Taishou. ”

Chen An slowly finished his work, and the chill in the room gradually dissipated, making Chu Yan feel a lot better.

These days, he has cultivated diligently, and he has also achieved results, although he often consumes too much energy, but the original Shengang realm has been greatly improved, although it has not yet reached the qualitative transformation level where the eight stars can quantify themselves, it has also reached a limit, a critical point.

Of course, the most important thing in this is the deepening of the integration between him and Chu Han's body.

If the degree of fusion between him and Chu Han's body was only one percent at the beginning, then as he continued to act in imitation of Chu Han's character and continued to cultivate and run-in, his fusion degree had already reached thirty percent when he broke through Shengang.

And in his subsequent cultivation, he found a way to improve his fusion, that is, to constantly consume his mind and energy, so that he was exhausted to the extreme, and then rested and recovered. Now his fusion with Chu Han has reached fifty percent, coupled with the martial arts master's commanding insights and strong comprehension and analysis ability. I believe that in another month, even if he can't find a breakthrough opportunity, he can force a breakthrough.

Chu Yan naturally didn't know this, but he felt that the head of the family was becoming more and more unfathomable. Although the cold chill that made him suppress completely subside, he didn't dare to continue disrespectfully: "In addition to Uncle Wang's appointment to Taishou, Chu Xun also has news from there, Jiping Hou promised to marry my Chu family, and the head of the Wang family will go to the capital one day to talk to him about the marriage of the younger generation. ”

"Oh?"

Chen An raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, among the few things arranged by the head of the family a month ago, the competition for the position of the Taishou of Jingmen City was the most important, because it marked the transformation of the Chu family from a local tyrant in the countryside to a wealthy family.

But in Chen An's eyes, the marriage with Jipinghou is the most important.

The Jipinghou family doesn't look very good, but they have dealings with all the magnates in the capital, and their huge fame makes them the leader of the banner. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a mountain among the powerful.

Now that the development of the Chu family has reached the extreme of a place, it is urgent to choose a big backer to rely on, otherwise it will be difficult to last for a long time, Jiping Hou is the big backer that Chen An found for the Chu family.

Originally, Chen An didn't have much confidence, a powerful man with huge fame married a local tyrant in the countryside, even if he was just a concubine, the Chu family had climbed high, and it had climbed several levels.

As an old aristocracy, the Jiping Hou family will inevitably not be able to change their thinking, and they will have some discriminatory feelings against the Chu family and veto this marriage.

But now it seems that the result is not bad, the rise of King Xian and Leng Yuezong really put a lot of pressure on the magnates in Beijing, of course, Chu Han's cultivation into a god gang should also add an important weight to the decision of the magnates in Beijing.

Chen An didn't hesitate to order: "Prepare my luggage immediately, and I will set off for the capital in the next two days." ”

If this kind of good thing is not finalized quickly, Chen An can't sleep.

The Chu family has someone who has money and land, but in the final analysis, he is still a local tyrant, and he doesn't go to the pole to tie up with a powerful person like Jiping Hou in Beijing, is he still waiting for others to condescend to him?

In the past, Chu Han would not do such a stupid thing to take Qiao, and now Chen An will not do it.

Seeing Chu Yan away, Chen An was about to pack his bags, when suddenly a voice sounded in the courtyard again.

"The head of the family, Chu Ran asked to see. ”

Chen An said "enter", and then looked at Chu Ran who came over with a smile and said, "Isn't there good news from the Murong family?"

"The head of the house is wise. ”

Chu Ran replied respectfully, he didn't dare to come out at all. Chu Han, who once shocked the entire Jingmen City and brought the Chu family to constantly leapfrog and promote, is back, his little cleverness is not enough in front of the real overlord-level figures, and it is still safe and affordable to bow down and be small.

"After the cooperation of Taishou and the other driver, the head of the Murong family thinks that we have shown enough sincerity to each other to talk about the next step of cooperation. ”

"How does he want to work together?"

Chen An frowned, expressing his slight dissatisfaction, the advantages of the Chu family are obvious to all, and they are willing to lower their figures, you Chu Ran will talk about it like this?

Chu Ran's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "The head of the Murong family thinks that the union between us can go further, such as marriage, which is a more stable way and more conducive to their integration into the mountains. ”

"Marriage?"

Chen An's face softened slightly, saying that this is understandable, after all, marriage has been a natural contract of alliances since ancient times. This is especially true for the Murong family, an outsider. If you marry a local, the reason why they have been excluded all along, the identity of outsiders, is no longer an issue.

Such a big benefit, Murong Fazhen is not stupid, it is impossible not to see it.

"How do they want to marry?"

Chu Ran said cautiously: "Well, what they mean is that they want to hire a daughter of the head of the family and give Murong Changkong, the young master of the Murong family, as his wife." ”

Chen An's face couldn't help but soften two points, this marriage method is already very sincere.

As we all know, Chu Han has two concubines, if he marries into a family like Jiping Hou, it is Gao Pan to be a concubine for a concubine who is not a young master, not to mention the eldest wife, then she will be a proper master mother in the future.

Therefore, the conditions given by the Murong family are really good, but now there are only two concubines left in the family head's lineage, and the issue of heirs has to be considered.

It stands to reason that the inheritance rights of women in the Great Song Kingdom are inherently small, let alone concubines.

But Chen An used Chu Han's identity, and always wanted to give him an explanation when he left, and return the position of head of the family to Chu Han's heir.

To a certain extent, when Chen An reached this step, he couldn't help but be in awe of the theory of cause and effect, and after comprehending the Blood Moon Knife and comprehending a lot of things from the Blood Moon Knife, it was even more so.

Although it is very rare for a concubine to inherit the position of head of the family, it is not impossible to think about it.

If Chen An really dominates one side in the future, it is not a matter of words who he wants to pass on the throne to, at most, it will take a little effort, cultivate them well, and give them a weak husband.

Therefore, in the face of the good news proposed by the Murong family, Chen An still hesitated, and simply said tentatively: "Murong Fa really means which daughter do you want to hire me?"

Chu Ran saw that Chen An's face was slightly softened, and he exhaled lightly and said: "Naturally, it is the eldest daughter Chu Yan, after all, Murong Changkong is already twenty years old this year, and waiting for Miss Yan to become an adult is only four or five years, and it is still time to wait, but if you wait for Miss Yan, it may be ......."

It should be the case according to reason, so Chen An waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm going to the capital recently, you can talk to Murong Fazhen about this matter first, and then discuss it when I come back from the capital." ”
