Chapter 58 Arrangement (please subscribe)
The distribution of the Little Foundation Establishment Pills has been settled. As the clan leader, Lin Shihua stood up and said: "Let me report on the family's situation in the past five years!"
"As of today, the family currently has 170 five monks, 12 from the Shi generation, 98 from the Xing generation, and 65 from the Tian generation. (Note: Female cultivators who marry into the Lin family are counted as Taoist monks of the same generation. For example, Ren Yuxuan, Lin Tianming’s mother, was entered into the family tree according to the Xing generation, and she was counted as a clan member of the Xing generation, but her name was not changed.)
"Among them, four are in the foundation building stage, one is in Qi Refining Dzogchen, and 11 are in the ninth level of Qi Refining. The rest are all below the ninth level of Qi Refining."
"In the past five years, excluding expenses, the family has accumulated more than 20 spiritual stones. This time the refining of the Small Foundation Establishment Pill has consumed all the accumulation of the past [-] years. It will be difficult to come up with funds for the next ten years. !”
Speaking of this, Lin Shihua couldn't help but show a worried expression, and soon regained his composure.
The family was still too poor. Fortunately, Lin Tianming brought back a large amount of Hidden Spirit Grass. The family added a large number of other auxiliary medicines and spent tens of thousands of spiritual stones to refine fifteen small foundation-building pills. The results were simply disappointing. Satisfied, I got a lot of small foundation-building pills, which can improve the overall strength of the family in a short time.
Just as Lin Shihua finished speaking, Lin Shikang, who had been deep in thought, spoke! "Judging from the current situation, the family's funds have bottomed out and are only enough to provide one year's monthly salary. Therefore, I suggest organizing a large number of clan members above the fifth level of Qi refining to form a demon hunting team and enter the Luoyun Mountains in batches for training. Not only can You can earn spirit stones by hunting monsters, and you can also search for elixirs, use the obtained items to refine a large number of elixirs and weapons, and then sell them in the market. This can increase the wealth of your tribe and family as quickly as possible, and you can also improve your skills during the experience. Breaking through as soon as possible can be described as killing three birds with one stone.”
"The demon hunting team is led by Shiji. Each team has ten members. As long as they don't go deep into the mountains, there is no big safety problem. As for the time, they rotate every six months."
"In addition, taking out the elixirs and spiritual weapons in the family's inventory as rewards can arouse everyone's enthusiasm. For the trophies obtained by the clan, Shilu will be responsible for the weapon training, Shigong will be responsible for the alchemy, and Xingrong will still be responsible for the sales. What do you think? ?."
Lin Shigong was the first to speak: "I agree with Third Brother's opinion!"
"I also agree with Third Brother's opinion!"
……
Lin Shilu and other foundation-building monks all agreed, and several elders from the Xingzi generation also agreed.
Lin Shikang nodded, very satisfied, and nearly half of the clan members already agreed.
"Anyone else have any comments?"
Lin Shikang's eyes scanned the younger generation in the entire hall. When he spotted Lin Tianming, he couldn't help but stay a few breaths longer.
When Lin Tianming saw this, he stood up and spoke actively.
"I very much agree with Third Grandpa's proposal. I am willing to be the first to sign up and enter the mountains among the first to set an example for the younger generations of the family."
Lin Shikang and others were very satisfied with Lin Tianming's answer and looked forward to this junior even more! The flowers in the greenhouse will not grow big. Only by experiencing strong winds and waves can they go further on the path of cultivating immortality.
After a quarter of an hour of discussion, the direction of the family's arrangements for the next few years was basically determined.
As the clan leader, Lin Shihua spoke again.
"Let's discuss the situation of the other four major families. Everyone can speak freely."
At this time, a member of the Xingzi clan stood up and spoke with a solemn expression.
"Recently, the overt and covert fighting between the Jin family and the Sun family has become more and more intense. They are both secretly accumulating strength and hoarding a large number of various elixirs, spiritual weapons and talismans. Various signs indicate that the two families are likely to break out into a large-scale feud in the next few years. war."
Many of the tribesmen sitting here changed their faces when they heard the news. The peace that had been maintained for hundreds of years was about to be broken. "I estimate that the outbreak will probably occur in three years!"
Hearing what Lin Shihua said, some tribesmen didn't seem to understand. Lin Tianming was also confused and didn't understand why he speculated that it was three years later. However, Lin Shikang and others understood it instantly.
Seeing some of the young tribesmen looking confused, Lin Shikang started to explain.
"In three years' time there will be a city competition that happens every 50 years!"
Hearing these words, the few tribesmen who had not experienced the city competition were curious and asked the reason.
The Fangshi Competition is a competition between the five major families in the Luoyun Mountains. It is held once every 50 years and has been held more than ten times. The interests of the Fangshi are distributed based on the rankings of the competition. The period is 50 years. The interests are mainly various rents and store ownership. Belong.
No. 1 in the city competition will get 2%, No. [-] will get [-]%, the bottom three will each get [-]%, and the other [-]% will be distributed by more than ten Qi Refining families.
Such a distribution plan has been implemented for hundreds of years. The Lin family's best ranking is only No. 2, gaining 1% of the interests of the city, and No. [-] has always been from the Jin and Sun families.
The Jin family and the Sun family are both aboriginals of the Luoyun Mountains. Their clan was established hundreds of years earlier than the Lin family. Although they have not produced any monks at the core-building stage, they have a large number of people. There will never be less than three foundation-building monks next year. People, in fact, have a profound background.
At the beginning of the clan's establishment, due to the injury of the ancestor, his strength could not reach [-]% of his heyday. Considering the future generations of the clan, the ancestor did not embarrass the then aboriginal Jin family and Sun family, so he only chose Qingzhu Mountain as the clan's place.
The Lin family had only been strong for nearly a hundred years when their ancestor Lin Renfeng was still alive. Relying on their cultivation in the pill formation stage, they were able to suppress the local Jin and Sun families for a period of time.
Because they were afraid of Lin Renfeng's cultivation, they did not dare to offend the Lin family and developed peacefully for a hundred years. This allowed the Lin family to gain a firm foothold and achieve today's situation. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to squeeze into the Luoyun Mountains.
After hearing Lin Shikang's explanation, several clan members who didn't know what was going on suddenly realized.
"No wonder the Jin and Sun families are acting like this. Maybe their target is the three of us. We have to guard against it!"
The views of a member of the Xingzi clan have been recognized by many clan members.
Lin Shihua also spoke: "In these troubled times, no matter which company they target or what their purpose is, I think we need to be on guard. In the next few years, we will also secretly collect various resources, but we must hide them. It is best not to let them notice. And I and I The news about Brother Ninth’s foundation construction must not be leaked, maybe this will be the opportunity for our Lin family to rise!”
"Makes sense!"
Lin Shihua's arrangement was recognized by everyone! "Well, you don't have to worry too much. We also have four foundation-building monks, and there will be more and more. As long as we unite as one, we are not afraid of the Jin family at all."
Lin Shikang's words gave many members of the Xing clan a reassurance. The Lin family had four foundation-building monks, and they were worthy of the Jin and Sun families.
"In recent years, the Lin family has to keep a low profile and try not to attract the attention of other families. When encountering their provocations, try not to cause friction with them. We must be patient for the time being. We secretly accumulate strength to deal with unknown threats."
"Shiji, it's up to you to form the demon hunting team. The sooner the better. Let's arrange it like this. Get ready!"
"Yes!"
After the half-day clan meeting ended, many clan members in the hall began to leave, and Lin Tianming also followed them away. In the end, only the four of them, Lin Shigong, were left, presumably to discuss some important matter.
