Chapter 122: Development
"I agree to open up wasteland."
After thinking for a moment, the third elder, Ling Qiyuan, was the first to speak in support. Ling Tianwu would most likely take over his position, so it was natural for him to stand up and support this junior at this time.
Everyone was slandering after hearing this, could Ling Tianwu come up with such an idea? It is estimated that the third elder secretly suggested it.
However, it is not easy for old guys like them to propose a more aggressive proposal such as land reclamation. Ling Tianwu said it at this time, which is exactly what they want.
The Third Elder didn’t care what these people thought, and continued as follows:
"The family now has a total of sixteen resource areas, including seven spiritual fields, four spiritual mines, and five spiritual medicine gardens."
"These resource lands have basically been developed to their maximum state, and it is difficult to provide more resources. The Lingshan blessed land under the affiliated forces and most other forces should also be in this state."
"Therefore, it is appropriate to open up wasteland to the misty swamp."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and even Ling Qidan, Ling Shihe and others who had frowned before were also thoughtful.
"I agree too." Sixth Elder Ling Shifeng also agreed, "Compared to the Cuiyun Mountains, the Misty Swamp is undeveloped and contains countless natural and earthly treasures. There may be a chance to discover the elixir for refining the Foundation Building Pill!
”
Foundation Building Pill? Everyone's breath froze when they heard this.
They used to only think about buying a foundation-building pill every few decades, but now they are starting to fantasize about refining it themselves!
They have also read the second-level elixir book brought back by Ling Tianxing, and they have already memorized the three main elixirs for refining the foundation-building elixir. At this time, they were all moved when they heard the seductive speech of the sixth elder.<
/p>
"But, is it too dangerous?" Eighth Elder Ling Shiqiu hesitated. As an alchemist, her combat power is not very high. It is hard to imagine what kind of danger she would face when entering a dangerous place like the foggy swamp.
p>
"The danger is relative." The second elder, Ling Qiming, obviously also agreed to open up wasteland, "The Le family and the Yang family can enter, so what can I, the Ling family, not do?"
"What's more, according to the current situation, if you want to obtain more resources, you will either have to fight with other families or fight with the poisonous insects and monsters in the foggy swamp." Ling Qiming said meaningfully, "Which is the lesser of the two evils, it is better to open up wasteland.
More appropriate."
"I also agree." Perhaps it was the elixir for refining the Foundation Building Pill that attracted Ling Qidan. After thinking for a moment, the fourth elder also supported the proposal, "But the strength of the tribe is not too strong. Talents such as Tianwu have advanced to the Foundation Building."
How long will it take? It’s best to improve your cultivation level again.”
Everyone nodded slightly and joined the discussion one after another.
"Opening up wasteland?" Ling Tianxing was also thinking in his mind.
He originally thought that the elders would choose to digest the existing resources and work steadily for a while, but Brother Tianwu's proposal was somewhat beyond his expectation.
However, considering that the family already has six foundation-building monks, and its strength is unprecedentedly strong, it makes sense that everyone has agreed to the more aggressive measure of opening up wasteland.
In fact, this is because he is in the mountain and has not yet felt the waves.
Any member of the clan would not be as calm as him if he knew that the clan already had six foundation-building monks!
Since the founding of the Ling family, it has never been as prosperous as it is now. This is the hope that everyone has been striving for for hundreds of years.
Under such circumstances, there is nothing wrong with everyone acting a little radically and setting their sights on places that they did not dare to covet before.
As for dangerous places like the Misty Swamp, it is said that there is a terrifying third-level demon king, which is far beyond what the current Ling family can contend with.
Of course, even if they enter the misty swamp, they will only be active in the outermost areas and will not be able to attract the attention of the demon king.
In fact, the "land reclamation" they are talking about at this time is still hunting monsters and collecting resources, which is far from being comparable to real land reclamation.
It is said that when the Fengming Sect opened up the Canglan River Basin, True Monarch Yuanying was in charge, many True Jindans opened the way, and countless Foundation-Building monks waved flags to cheer.
The demon king retreats, the miasma dissipates, and the terrain changes, it’s just a piece of cake!
After everyone discussed it, Ling Tianxing also agreed to the proposal to open up wasteland.
As the second elder said, if you want resources, there will definitely be disputes. The only difference is whether you fight people or monsters!
Put these two together, most people know which choice to make.
After Ling Tianxing expressed his opinion, Tenth Elder Ling Tianfan and First Elder Ling Zongtu also expressed their agreement.
The meeting has been going on so far. Ling Tianfan and Ling Zongtu have always agreed with Ling Tianxing's opinions. Although this is related to the fact that his speech is reasonable, everyone still sees some clues.
After the seventh elder and the great elder speak, the resolution will usually be passed immediately.
Sure enough, after the great elder's summary, the clan leader Ling Qixing quickly made a decision and confirmed the family's decision to open up wasteland in the misty swamp.
The purpose of opening up wasteland is, firstly, to collect resources, and secondly, to train the soon-to-be-established Qingluan Guard. The ninth elder Ling Tianwu and the tenth elder Ling Tianfan are jointly responsible for it, with the assistance of other elders.
At this point in the meeting, the family's overall internal and external plan for the next few decades has been basically determined. The next step is to refine the details and fine-tune the direction.
The elders breathed a sigh of relief, but the words that came to their ears made their hearts stagnate.
"Elders, do you have any other suggestions?" Clan leader Ling Qixing sat at the head of the table and said with a smile.
Other suggestions? Everyone is confused. Family planning is not a simple talk.
Each of the several resolutions they made at this meeting requires huge human, material and financial support. Even with Qingluan Ling's current background, they still need to advance slowly one by one. There is no such thing as more than ten years or more.
It’s hard to see results if you don’t have time.
During this period, most of the resources invested cannot be recovered. Thinking about it now, they themselves feel a little radical.
If there are other suggestions, could it be that the clan leader feels that the family's strength has greatly increased and wants to suppress other families? But the resolution to open up wasteland was passed to avoid fighting with others, and it shouldn't be.
Everyone looked at the clan leader, then at the first elder and the seventh elder, and immediately realized that the most critical part of the emotional meeting had not yet begun.
"Pioneering!"
Ling Tianxing smiled slightly and told the plan the three of them had made when they visited the clan leader and the great elder.
"Pioneering?" Everyone was stunned and began to think about its meaning.
Opening up wasteland also belongs to pioneering, but what Ling Tianxing proposed at this time obviously should have another meaning: to open up new markets.
The current situation of the Ling family is just as the second elder Ling Qiming said, it is quite like flowers blooming and fire cooking oil. The resources they occupy have grown rapidly in more than ten years, and are almost the same as the Wang family in Baihu Mountain.
This kind of development speed is inconsistent with other families' perceptions of the Ling family, and it is easy to be secretly targeted. This is also an important reason why they want to rebuild the Qingluan Guard and build the Ling family's reputation.
However, the current situation of the Qingluan Ling clan is more due to the fact that they are located in a rather barren area in the lower reaches of the Canglan River. A little achievement will be continuously amplified.
