Chapter 56 The Dust Settles After returning to their small courtyard, their mother and sister were very happy to learn that Lin Tianming had returned to the family, and they returned to their small home one after another.
The family reunited for dinner, but Lin Xingrong was the only one left in Luoyunfang City, which was a big pity.
After dinner, the mother and sister went to practice separately, leaving only Lin Shigong and Lin Tianming sitting in the yard chatting. 'Grandpa, Grandpa Fifteen asked me to tell you that tomorrow morning, he will go to the Presbyterian Church for a clan meeting, and he asked me to come with him. '
Lin Shigong on the side took a sip of spiritual tea and said calmly;
'My guess is that we should fulfill the three small foundation-building pills promised to you, and also discuss the development of the family in the next few years, as well as external relations. The family has been silent for a long time, and it is time to take a step forward. . '
'My twelfth brother and I have successfully built the foundation. The family's foundation-building monks are no less than those of the Jin family in Jinjiaoshan. Although there is a slight gap in cultivation, the Lin family is different from the past, so naturally it is impossible to tolerate everything. '
"Jinjiaoshan Jin Family!"
"Is the Jin family very strong?"
Lin Tianming suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.
'Grandpa, what are the specific strengths of the five major families in the Luoyun Mountain Range? '
Seeing that Lin Tianming was so interested, he started to introduce them. Lin Tianming would deal with those families sooner or later.
'According to investigation, among the five major families in the Luoyun Mountains, the Jin family in Jinjiao Mountain has four foundation-building monks. This is only on the surface, and it is unknown whether there are more secretly. In addition, there is also a member of the Jin family with outstanding talents. , named Jin Qishan, 26 years old, has dual spiritual roots, has reached the eighth level of Qi refining, but is actually extremely talented. "
"In addition, the Sun family in Feiying Mountain also has three foundation-building monks, and the Wu family in Jiuhua Mountain and the Luo family in Baiyun Mountain both have two foundation-building monks."
"Currently, the Jin family is the strongest. Except for the Sun family, none of the other three families can handle it alone."
"The Jin family and the Sun family have always been at odds. Under the mutual constraints of the Jin family and the Sun family, we, the Lin family, and the other two families stayed together to keep warm. Only then did we gain a foothold in the Luoyun Mountains. But what is it like to survive in the cracks? , It’s really frustrating.”
Speaking of this, Lin Shigong shook his head with a helpless expression on his face.
More than 200 years ago, the Lin family was the strongest at that time, accounting for [-]% of the profits of the market. In just over a hundred years, it completely declined. Although it was not the last of the five major families, it was not much stronger.
'Grandpa, take your time. The family is getting stronger and stronger now, and it is only a matter of time before it returns to its former strength. '
Lin Tianming's generation of tribesmen are extremely talented. There is a dual-spiritual-rooted tribesman, and there are even several three-spiritual-rooted monks. They are really full of talents.
After more than half an hour of chatting, Lin Tianming also had a general understanding of the other four major families, including some key clan members, and kept them in mind.
Early the next morning, Lin Tianming followed his grandfather to the family elders' meeting.
In the main hall of the Presbyterian Church, more than a dozen clan members have arrived, and Lin Shihua is chatting with Lin Shixin and others.
Seeing Lin Shigong come in, everyone stood up quickly, and Lin Tianming greeted everyone politely.
Those who attended the Presbyterian meeting were all the backbone of the Lin family, basically all powerful figures. Except for those who couldn't get away, almost all of them were present.
After a while, two figures entered the hall together, and it was Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu who came stood up to greet him, and Lin Tianming also came forward to greet him.
When Lin Shihua saw that people were almost here, he said: "Common clan members, since everyone is here, let's have a meeting. This time we will mainly discuss the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills, the future development of the family, and the attitude toward other families."
"Let's start with the distribution of the Small Foundation Establishment Pills. In addition to the three pills promised to be allocated to Tianming, there are still six pills left. Everyone can speak freely and brainstorm to come up with a fair and just result."
At this moment, Lin Shigang, the leader of Chuangong Hall, was the first to speak: "There are six small foundation-building pills left. Choose from among the clan members. Whoever reaches Qi Refining Perfection first can exchange them with eight thousand good deeds to build the foundation as soon as possible and enhance the overall strength of the family. When facing the Jin family, they will also be confident. Thicker!”
As soon as these words came out, a member of the Xingzi generation spoke up to refute.
"There are only six Small Foundation Establishment Pills, which are still not many. In addition to refining them, the family has spent a lot of financial resources. Most of the funds accumulated for decades have been consumed, and the main medicine of the Small Foundation Establishment Pills is Hidden Spirit Grass. Although dozens of strains have been transplanted, the survival rate is not high, and they will not be able to be refined into elixirs within a hundred years."
"So, in the next hundred years, it will be difficult for us to obtain spiritual objects that can assist in foundation building. Therefore, I suggest leaving two of them so that when the family is in crisis, we can retain a glimmer of hope and allow the family to turn around as soon as possible. "
This remark received support from many members of the Xingzi generation of the family, and they all agreed.
The whole meeting hall suddenly became very lively, and it was basically divided into two camps, the Shizi generation clansmen who had not yet established their foundation and the young Xingzi generation clansmen.
The clan members of Shizi generation are already quite old. Apart from the four people who have successfully built the foundation, and Lin Shiji, who has failed to build the foundation, there are only three people. They are all at the ninth level of Qi refining. The youngest, Lin Shixin, is over 90 years old. Qi Lin Shigong is no more than two years younger. It can be said that he does not have much potential at all. With the help of the small Foundation Establishment Pill, the hope of Foundation Establishment is also slim.
Lin Tianming sat behind his grandfather and did not speak. Not only that, the Lin family's foundation-building monks did not speak, let alone express their position directly.
For half an hour, the two seniors still couldn't reach an agreement.
Lin Shikang, who had never spoken, secretly sent a message to Lin Shilu and the others, asking for their opinions. After all, only the opinions of the tribesmen in the foundation-building period had weight, and they were the decision-makers on major events.
Lin Shilu thought for a long time, and from the family's standpoint, he still agreed with the statement of the Xingzi generation clansmen. Even if the Shizi generation clan members took the Small Foundation Establishment Pill, the possibility of successfully building the Foundation was already very low, so it was better to leave the opportunity to them. Young people can maximize the strength of the family.
Not only Lin Shilu thinks this way, but the other three foundation-building stages also think this way, but Lin Shigong also successfully built the foundation at the age of nearly a hundred years old. With such an example, it would be unbearable to directly cut off the hopes of Lin Shixin and others. After all, no one wants to die.
After several members of the Foundation Establishment period discussed, Lin Shikang stood up and said:
"The six small foundation-building pills are divided into three parts, one for the Shizi generation, three for the Xingzi generation, and two for the Tianzi generation. Whichever clan member enters the Dzogchen cultivation level first can redeem it."
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively meeting hall fell into silence as everyone was thinking.
Lin Shixin also looked at Lin Shikang and the others gratefully at this time, and nodded as a thank you. After all, Lin Shikang and the others still retained their hope of building a foundation, just to see if they could grasp it.
There are only so many resources, so it is natural to use effective resources on tribesmen with better talents.
After more than ten breaths of silence, seeing no one objecting, Lin Shilu took out three small foundation-building pills and handed them to Lin Tianming, and handed the remaining six to Lin Shixin for safekeeping. The distribution of the small foundation-building pills was finally settled.
Lin Tianming had made three small foundation-building pills and put them in a storage bag. With these three pills, his father and mother would have a great chance of building a foundation.
