Family Immortality: I ascend to immortality through my offspring

Chapter 242

Yuan Zhi certainly knew it was too late.

Since the ancestor had already set the tone of befriending the Chen family, now that the Chen family has further grown, there is no reason to change his mind at the last minute.

Otherwise, all the previous goodwill will be in vain.

The most appropriate approach is to follow the rules.

Chen Qingyan has already broken through to the foundation-building stage, so her position in the Recruitment Department can also be moved.

The Recruitment Department has three positions for principals.

Now there is only one principal in office, so she can be put there, which is to strengthen the Yuan family's faction in disguise.

This can also deal with the impact from the new mountain from within the Demon Suppression Department.

In the past, the Demon Suppression Department was headed by the two major families of Yuan and Yang, who monopolized almost all the promotion channels for the middle and senior levels of the Demon Suppression Department.

There was only one voice in the Demon Suppression Department.

But in the past two years.

Because of the four major families, the Immortal Tax Department has been neglected by the royal family to a certain extent.

The Demon Suppression Division and the Military Command Division, on the pretext of striking at the "remnants of the Zhou family", grew stronger day by day.

So this ushered in a new round of balance.

The royal family bypassed the commander Yuan Shang and promoted a deputy governor surnamed Xie to join the ranks of the top leaders of the Demon Suppression Division.

With the support of the royal family, Deputy Governor Xie promoted his confidants and won over those members of the Demon Suppression Division who were unwilling or had no way to join the aristocratic families, forming a rising young faction.

The emergence of the young faction impacted the aristocratic faction headed by the Yuan and Yang families.

This gave both families a sense of urgency and shifted their attention to internal struggles.

In disguise, the Demon Suppression Division's momentum to further strive for power was curbed.

As long as the young faction and the aristocratic faction fight out a result, the royal family will mediate and take back the expansion results of the Demon Suppression Division.

Thus leaving room for the next expansion of the Demon Suppression Division.

This trick has been tried and tested.

Chen Jing'an knew about the changes in the Demon Suppression Division.

He even knew that the new Xie Tongzhi was parachuted in from the Military Division.

Under Xie Tongzhi's command, there were also people from other Military Divisions.

The Meng family, who was familiar with him, was among them.

But——

The Prison Division where he worked was not extremely powerful, and he could not get any benefits from the suppression of Zhou. The war between the young and strong factions and the aristocratic factions could not reach him.

Chen Jing'an could certainly stay out of it.

As for Chen Qingyan.

The Recruitment Division where she worked was now the focus of the fight between the two factions.

Therefore, the positions of the three principals were not filled.

Chen Qingyan had served as a clerk in the Recruitment Division for many years.

Although it was a bit ridiculous for a Foundation Establishment Master to use "work experience" as a criterion, in the absence of other criteria, the symbolic significance could be greater than the practical significance.

Chen Qingyan's promotion was foreseeable.

But Chen Qingyan's promotion to the top is not as surprising to Chen Jing'an as her breakthrough in the foundation-building stage.

Because from the very beginning.

Including Chen Jing'an himself, a concept has been confused.

That is, it is believed that the network of the Demon Suppression Division can be continuously consolidated and strengthened by generations of management.

But the fact is now.

Even for the Demon Suppression Division families with a long history like the Yuan and Yang families.

Facing the suppression from the royal family, they still have only passive defense and even painful cuts.

Even, as long as the royal family is willing, they are fully capable of uprooting a family and pushing others up.

This means that they have never owned the Demon Suppression Division from beginning to end.

It is originally boundless water, so how can it develop.

Chen Jing'an holds the idea of ​​swallowing it one day at a time and cherishes the peaceful days at present.

...

Four months later.

Chen Jing'an's first "Fire Dragon Flying Knife" was successfully refined.

He had the main material of "Fire Dragon Scale" in his hand, which saved most of the cost, and he made it himself.

The cost of such a graduation magic weapon in the foundation-building stage can be controlled at about 1,500 spirit stones.

According to this calculation, his set of nine "Fire Dragon Flying Knives".

The total cost is enough to directly sweep down a foundation-building pill.

Chen Jing'an has many second-level skills.

Among the foundation-building masters, he is already the type who uses sacks to carry spirit stones.

Even so, relying on his own family background is not enough to build this luxurious magic weapon lineup.

Fortunately, when the Changping Mu family was destroyed before, he, as the biggest backer of the immortal clan, naturally took most of the Changping Mu family's property.

This gave Chen Jing'an enough confidence.

Just wait for this set of magic weapons to take shape, and there will be not many foundation-building masters who can threaten him.

...

At this juncture, Meng Ning paid a visit.

In the matter of the "young and vigorous faction", Meng Ning used hisSending his younger brother to the Demon Suppression Division was suspected of killing first and reporting later.

Chen Jing'an and Meng Ning knew this.

Therefore, when the Young and Strong Faction poached the Aristocratic Faction, Meng Ning was very tactful and bypassed Chen Jing'an directly.

Using him once can still be regarded as a temporary measure.

If he is used a second time in a short period of time, it means that he is being treated as a fool.

Even the deepest friendship cannot withstand such a test.

Meng Ning came here today to invite Chen Jing'an to his house to attend the foundation-building banquet of Meng's new foundation-building master "Meng Sui".

Such high-ranking families in the capital like to consolidate and show their connections through the "foundation-building banquet".

Chen Jing'an does not have too many connections in the capital, so there is no need to make a special trip to make a big fuss.

He has always adhered to the principle of "making money quietly".

Chen Jing'an accepted Meng Ning's invitation.

This is considered to be taking the initiative to expose the previous unpleasantness.

As compensation, Meng Ning took the initiative to share some inside information with him.

The first piece of news was about Meng's ancestor "Meng Du".

Meng Du led the Anxi Army to fight against Daliang's mechanical beasts.

Originally, Daqian had the upper hand.

But on the way, they encountered another mechanical sacred beast of Daliang.

——Mechanical Xuanwu

Meng Ning was still frightened: "That mechanical Xuanwu is a copper wall and iron wall. Daliang's mechanical master hid directly inside the mechanical Xuanwu and continuously released mechanical beasts to break through our army. After several consecutive attacks, my Daqian side retreated step by step."

Chen Jing'an was very surprised to hear the news.

Because the news sent back by the military commander recently was all about victories.

Unless you go there in person to investigate, outsiders have no way of knowing the inside story.

If the war situation continues to deteriorate, the paper will eventually be exposed.

The second piece of news is about Meng Sui's foundation building.

The military department allowed the conversion of "merits" and "military merits", which attracted a large number of high-level military department officials to squeeze into the Demon Suppression Department and try to get a share of it.

The Meng family accumulated merits to convert military merits and gathered the quota for a foundation-building pill.

This is how the new foundation-building came about.

Meng Ning told this news, also intending to sell Chen Jingan a favor.

"Brother Chen, you have been in prison for many years, and you are also in charge of the Suzaku Project. I think you have a lot of merits in your hands. If you need it, I can exchange it for a foundation-building pill for you."

This condition is full of sincerity.

It's a pity that Chen Jingan still has three inferior foundation-building pills in his hand, and he has no plan to hoard them for the time being.

Moreover, he has already squandered all the merits accumulated over the years by exchanging for the "Second-level Refining Inheritance".

Unless there is another great merit like the Suzaku Project.

Otherwise, if Chen Jing'an wanted to complete this achievement, he would have to kill demon cultivators for decades more.
