“According to the information of the Dao Integration Bead, this one percent of the clan’s luck will be restored in seven days.”

“And once the First Elder breaks through to the Genesis Realm, the Chen family’s luck will soar. At that time, the interval will be shortened again.”

“In short, according to the current situation of the Chen family, they can still continuously provide energy for the Dao Integration Bead.”

Putting away the Dao Integration Bead, Chen Yang was still relatively optimistic about his future.

Knock knock knock!

Just as Chen Yang was about to cultivate, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”

“Family Head, the lord and lady would like you to dine with them,” said the maid outside the door.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Chen Yang could only give up and head to his parents’ courtyard.

“Father, Mother, I’m here.” The Chen family home was not too big. It did not take Chen Yang long to reach his destination.

“Yang’er is here. Wash your hands and come eat.”

Seeing Chen Yang come over, Chen Yang’s mother, Shen Meng, greeted him warmly.

At the dining table, Chen Yang looked at his father, who was holding a wine glass and looking a little hesitant. He put down his chopsticks. “Father, just say what you want to say.”

When Chen Yang’s father, Chen Hou, saw this, he sighed. “Alright, I’ll get straight to the point. Your mother and I plan to move to the library and guard it for our Chen family.”

“Why are you guarding the library for no reason?” Chen Yang asked.

“It’s like this. Although you are the head of the family, the family always had to ask for my opinion first in some matters.”

“At first, I was also afraid that you couldn’t handle it, so I didn’t say anything. But now that my son has saved the Chen family from danger, I naturally can’t do that anymore.”

“My actions are to tell everyone that the head of the Chen family is my son, Chen Yang, and not Chen Tao,” Chen Hou said excitedly.

After understanding the reason, Chen Yang smiled and said, “Father, there’s no need for that. The First Elder has already sworn to be loyal to me forever.”

“Plus with the gift-giving incident, the entire Chen family will listen to me. Father doesn’t have to do this.”

“There’s such a thing?” Chen Hou was stunned for a moment. He had considered this matter repeatedly before gritting his teeth and making this decision.

From the looks of it, it was all useless?

And that First Elder. Aren’t you usually very arrogant? What medicine did my son feed you to make you so obedient?

“Father, there are already people guarding the library. I think you should focus on cultivating and breaking through to the Genesis Realm.”

“After all, a Qi Refinement martial artist’s lifespan is less than 100 years. Only by opening his meridians can he live for 200 years.”

“Genesis realm? You think too highly of your parents.” Chen Hou smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

“Your father is now 46 years old, but he’s only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, which is similar to your realm. And your mother is only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement.”

“The two of us can’t break through the Genesis Realm no matter what.”

“What’s wrong with that? Even if your aptitude isn’t good, we can use resources to help you to your breakthrough,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Yang’er shouldn’t talk nonsense.”

When Shen Meng heard this, she said with a serious expression, “Yang’er, you’re the head of the Chen family. You have to be fair in everything. You can’t be biased.”

“Besides, only a seventh-grade faction can casually push someone into the Genesis Realm. Yang’er, don’t spout nonsense.”

Shen Meng did not want her son’s reputation to be tarnished because of her.

“I understand the logic here. Doesn’t our family have a contribution system? When the time comes, I’ll use my contribution to exchange for resources for the two of you. It won’t be considered favoritism.”

“You two still have fifty years to break through to the Genesis Realm. I’m also confident that I can turn the Chen family into a seventh-grade family within fifty years,” Chen Yang teased.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Can you do something that so many ancestors failed to do?”

Chen Hou glanced at Chen Yang and continued, “Also, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Your mother and I are happy just seeing that you have a family and a career. That’s enough.”

Chen Hou looked like he was blaming him, but his words were still filled with worry.

After that, none of the three of them mentioned this matter. They happily finished the meal while chatting.

After dinner, Chen Hou continued, “Yang’er, I’ve decided still to guard the library with your mother.”

“Listen to me first. I’m no longer the head of the family and can’t receive resources. Not only can I help you by going to the library, but I can also receive cultivation resources from your mother and me.”

“Didn’t you say you wanted us to break through to the Genesis Realm? Naturally, we have to prepare early.”

“Don’t you still have me…” Chen Yang wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Chen Hou.

“You’re talented and smart, so you need more resources. I’m your father, so this matter is settled. We’ll talk about other things after you become a Genesis Patriarch.”

Chen Yang wanted to say something, but seeing that his parents had already made their decision, he stopped talking.

With the Dao Integration Bead, the Chen family’s future would definitely not be limited to a seventh-grade aristocratic family. At that time, it was not impossible to push his parents to the Genesis Realm or even the Ningdan Realm.

“Alright, Yang’er, go do your thing.”

“I’ll take my leave.”

After leaving his parents’ courtyard, Chen Yang returned to his own courtyard to cultivate. The elders were watching over the family matters. Unless something major happened, Chen Yang had to make the decision.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

In this month, Chen Yang had completely stabilized his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. Moreover, he had also used the Dao Integration Bead to accumulate four points of energy.

“Family Head, the Second Elder requests your presence in the Council Hall.”

On this day, just as Chen Yang was about to cultivate, the Second Elder suddenly sent someone to invite Chen Yang over.

Ever since Chen Xuan broke through in seclusion, most of the matters in the Chen family were handled by Second Elder Chen Meng.

After arriving at the meeting hall, Chen Yang went straight to the point. “Second Elder, why are you looking for me?”

Chen Meng was not as kind as Chen Xuan. Instead, he was a little serious. However, at this moment, Chen Meng grinned.

“Patriarch, this is great news. Among the Gale Wolves in our family, a Mystic Wind Wolf with the bloodline of a demon general suddenly mutated.”

“Oh, bring me to take a look.” Chen Yang’s eyes lit up. If it was true, then his natal beast would be settled.

“Please come with me.”

Immediately, under Chen Meng’s lead, the two of them quickly flew towards the green mountain outside Maple City.

Beside the green mountain, the Eighth and Ninth Elders were already prepared. When they saw Chen Yang coming over, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. “Greetings, Family Head.”

“No need to be so formal. Where’s that Mystic Wind Wolf?”

“Please come with me.”

Immediately, the Ninth Elder, Chen Yang, led him to an iron cage that contained the Mystic Wind Wolf.

The Mystic Wind Wolf looked similar to the Gale Wolf. The only difference was the size difference.

An adult Gale Wolf would not be more than two meters long, but an adult Mystic Wind Wolf could grow to 3.5 meters.

“Family Head, you haven’t refined your natal beast yet. I suggest that you refine this Mystic Wind Wolf,” Ninth Elder said.
