Chapter 8 Taking over the family mission The Lin Family Common Wealth Hall.
A five-story attic, built from a large number of boulders, is more than ten feet high. A large number of clan members accept family tasks here.
Lin Tianming is one of many tribesmen.
In the lobby on the first floor of the Shuwu Hall, on a huge golden screen, large red characters and family tasks were neatly lined up in a row.
Every once in a while, a task or several tasks disappear at the same time. It is obvious that a member of the Lin family has taken over the family task.
Looking closely, there are hundreds of family tasks densely packed on the screen.
"Look for two Golden Origin Grass plants. The period is six months. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with [-] points of good deeds. The minimum level of Qi Refining is above the sixth level."
"Guard the family elixir garden for a one-year term. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with fifteen points of good deeds. No cultivation requirements."
"Follow the Law Enforcement Hall to clean up the monsters in the Luoyun Mountains. It will take one year. After completion, you will be rewarded with [-] points of good deeds. The minimum level of Qi training is above seven levels."
"Guard Qingfeng Town for a three-year term. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with [-] merit points, and the minimum level of Qi Refining is above three levels."
After watching for half a quarter of an hour, I finished all the family tasks.
Most of them can be picked up, but they are either too time-consuming or extremely risky.
Lin Tianming has been practicing for several years. Although he has successfully mastered the Five Elements Magic and Kung Fu Secret Techniques, and has often competed with his peers in the family, he has never been in actual combat.
The task of cleaning up the monsters in the Luoyun Mountains not only allows you to practice your various magic and secret techniques, but also increases your practical experience and tempers yourself. In addition, you are very yearning for the outside world.
It's a pity that the task of cleaning up the monsters requires a minimum of seven levels of Qi training. I only have five levels of Qi training, so I can't take on this task.
The task of guarding Qingfeng Town is not bad. Although three years is a long time, you can return to the family for half a month every year to visit relatives and replenish your training resources.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming planned to take over the task of guarding Qingfeng Town.
After regaining his composure, he walked to the front desk of the General Affairs Hall, exchanged a few words with the deacon of the General Affairs Hall, and successfully took over the task of guarding Qingfeng Town.
For tasks such as guarding clan land or guarding assets, you can receive the task rewards in advance. After all, it takes a long time and is not very dangerous. You can use the task rewards to exchange for resources and bring them to the guarding location to continue practicing.
After receiving the mission reward in advance, he planned to exchange for some training resources and bring them to Qingfeng Town to continue alchemy training.
One year is neither long nor short. I only have one Lingyuan Pill, 40 Yuan Spirit Stones, ten Bigu Pill materials and five Lingyuan Pill materials left, which may not be enough to last for a year.
I purchased the alchemy furnace and alchemy materials before, but I still have ten points of good deeds left, plus the mission reward of [-] points of good deeds, for a total of seventy points of good deeds. I can buy some more alchemy materials and try to refine the Lingyuan Pill.
Lin Tianming thought to himself and soon arrived at the Shanggong Hall.
I found the Tenth Grandpa Lin Shixin and successfully exchanged ten ingredients for the Lingyuan Pill elixir, spending a total of [-] points of good deeds.
Although there is no major danger in guarding Qingfeng Town this time, it is still necessary to prepare some means to deal with the enemy. I also replaced two first-level high-quality attack talismans, with a total of 110 points of good merit, and a total consumption of [-] points of good merit.
After spending all the good deeds, the family token was cleared, and 40 yuan of spiritual stones needed to be replenished. There was exactly 40 yuan of spiritual stones left. After all the good deeds were replenished, the family tokens were taken away from the good merit hall.
Lin Tianming's current assets include ten pieces of Bigu Pill materials and fifteen Lingyuan Pill materials.
In addition, there are two first-level high-grade attack talismans and a Lingyuan Dan. There are neither spirit stones nor merit points. Apart from these cultivation resources, it can be said that it is completely impoverished.
The mission stipulated that they should arrive in Qingfeng Town within ten days to replace the Lin family members who were previously guarding the town. It was still early, and they could also practice the Five Elements spells and secret techniques to increase their proficiency and strengthen their own strength.
He took out his Green Bamboo Sword, jumped up, and flew towards a valley on the hillside of Qingzhu Mountain.
Half a quarter of an hour passed.
Lin Tianming appeared in a valley. The valley was densely covered with jungles and trees as big as ten feet were all over the mountain. Wild beasts often appeared in the valley. A three-foot-wide river ran through the valley.
This canyon is a natural dojo that Lin Tianming found while practicing magic. It is rarely visited by people.
When he first started practicing, he liked to practice the Five Elements spells and secret techniques here. He could practice with wild animals. After the practice, he could also eat barbecue. He spent half of his time here during practice.
Lin Tianming sat on a stone several feet in size and skillfully moved the Huoyuan Jue technique throughout the sky.
Adjust your condition and perform a secret technique that comes with the Qigong method.
"Fire Elemental Slash!"
I saw a huge sword made of thousands of blazing fires hanging above Lin Tianming's head. The flowers, plants and trees within a few feet of it withered instantly, apparently dried to death by the heat wave.
Lin Tianming shouted loudly: "go with!"
In an instant, a big sword composed of thousands of flames appeared a hundred feet away and struck a big tree from high in the sky.
I saw that the tree as thick as a bucket was split into two halves in an instant. The place where it was cut was scorched black, and the water evaporated instantly, turning into a rotten tree.
"hiss……"
Despite using it many times, Lin Tianming was still impressed by its powerful power.
However, this technique consumes too much spiritual power, and all the spiritual power can only be used a few times before the spiritual power is exhausted. It is not easy to use it casually during the fight, and can only be used as a trump card.
In the next few days, after using Fire Elemental Slash more than ten times, the spiritual power was exhausted every time.
After practicing hard for such a long time, Lin Tianming has been able to shoot with half a breath, so that he can take advantage of the enemy.
The Five Elements spells can also be cast instantly, which greatly increases the speed. During this period, many beasts became victims, being burned by fire swords inexplicably, or tied up by vines composed of spiritual Tianming has been feasting on his appetite these past few days, including black bear paws, white tiger meat, and even goshawks, a bird as big as three feet tall.
Halfway through the ten days, I still have to say goodbye to my grandfather and mother before leaving.
Although I had been to Luoyunfang City twice with my father before, I was restricted everywhere and had never been out of my father's sight.
After leaving his clan alone for the first time, Lin Tianming began to look forward to the outside world.
After withdrawing his thoughts, taking some of the uneaten meat with him, Lin Tianming left with his sword.
In the small courtyard of Lin Tianming's house.
Grandpa Lin Shigong manages the alchemy hall. There are too few alchemists in the clan and the alchemy task is heavy. When he learned that Lin Tianming had taken over the task of guarding Qingfeng Town, he rarely returned to this small family to reunite.
It happened that his father Lin Xingrong returned to the family from Luoyunfang City. After a few days of rest, he would set off again and return to Luoyunfang City for duty.
Three generations of grandfather and grandson were sitting under the maple tree in the yard, drinking tea. Next to them, the mother and sister were cleaning the animal meat and preparing dinner.
Grandpa Lin Shigong had a sad face at this time and was a little worried.
Lin Tianming had been taken by him since he was a child. With his spiritual talent and alchemy talent that far exceeded his own, he really didn't want him to risk leaving the clan alone.
Although Qingfeng Town is not far from Qingzhu Mountain, a distance of more than [-] miles, it can be reached in two days by flying with a sword, so it is not that far.
In addition, Qingfeng Town is located in the inland area. Although there are many monsters in the Luoyun Mountains, it is difficult to pass through the Lin family land and attack the mortal towns behind.
However, the opponents of the human race are not just monsters. Among the humans, it is not uncommon to kill people and seize treasures. There are many people who go to the Luoyun Mountains or the hinterland of the monster clan to hunt for treasures and gain experience.
If you encounter an evil cultivator, the chances are high and the odds are stacked against you. Your grandson has only been in the world for a short period of time and has no survival experience. It is really difficult for people to feel absolutely reassured.
Lin Shigong looked worried and said solemnly: "Tianming, I have been refining elixirs for the family for more than 60 years. Most of the elixirs in the family are made by me."
"I can talk to my twelfth brother and give you another family mission. I'm sure you'll sell me some thin noodles."
Hearing Lin Shigong's words, Lin Xingrong blushed and said: "father……"
"If everyone is like you, how can the patriarch manage the family? Although you have worked hard and made great achievements, you can't use your power for personal gain. Our third son can't be criticized."
After Lin Tianming listened, he also spoke righteously;
"Grandpa, the flowers in the greenhouse don't grow big. You can't stand behind me forever."
"There are so many powerful people in the world of immortality, and there are more than a thousand large families. The Lin family is just one of many small families. How can you become a strong person without experiencing the true fire experience."
Seeing that his grandfather's expression seemed to be somewhat relaxed, Lin Tianming continued to speak and took the opportunity to persuade.
"Qingfeng Town is not very far from the family's residence, and it is inland. As long as I don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there is no danger."
"For this experience, I exchanged two first-level high-grade attack talismans. I can protect myself. I will take good care of myself. Don't worry!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Tianming looked at Lin Shigong with wide eyes.
After hearing these words, Lin Shigong also felt that they were reasonable.
It is indeed difficult to be successful if you are too protective. Thinking of this, his complexion suddenly improved a lot.
"Bring these two first-grade high-quality defense talismans, two bottles of Lingyuan Pills, three Yuan Yuan Pills, one Poison Transformation Pill, and twenty Spirit Yuan Pill medicinal materials!"
"In addition to this Yuanhuo stove, I repeatedly asked my fifteenth brother for help to collect part of the earth fire in this bottle. It will be enough to use it for three to five years!"
Lin Shigong took out a lot of things one after another and did not forget to give detailed instructions.
"Remember, practice and alchemy must not be neglected. One year is up, and you must come back for a few days so that I can test your alchemy skills."
"Yes, follow Grandpa's decree!"
Lin Tianming responded firmly and sighed while being moved.
Fortunately, my grandfather is an alchemist and has enough elixirs. I am even more determined to practice hard and become an alchemist, so that I can win for my grandfather and the family.
After taking over his grandfather's belongings and regaining his composure, Lin Tianming also asked Lin Shigong to get up.
"You should always pay attention to your health and don't overwork yourself..."
Lin Xingrong manages his family's business in Luoyunfang City. He is well-informed and has been to a lot of places. He is very good at dealing with people and teaches Lin Tianming his experience one by one.
He did not give any resources, but gave Lin Tianming a map of Qingzhou and Jizhou, and asked:
"Remember to be neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor arrogant, and think twice before you act!"
"Thank you father..."
Afterwards, the three of them chatted for half a quarter of an hour, and dinner was prepared.
It was a rare reunion for the family, and Grandpa also brought out the spiritual wine that he had collected for many years. The family had a happy reunion dinner, which was regarded as practicing for Lin Tianming.
