In the small courtyard, under the peach tree.

Ling Tianxing holds the jade slip in his hand and smiles.

When the Great Elder went to Changqingfang City, Ling Tianxing asked him to bring a jar of century-old peach blossom wine to Ninth Brother. The jade slip contained Ninth Brother's greetings.

However, Ling Tianxing couldn't help but sigh when he thought about what the great elder said about the market.

During the period when the Great Elder left, he had intrigued with many forces, and in the end he only harvested 10,000 spirit stones. Now just to build the lowest level of spiritual veins, it will cost nearly 20,000 spirit stones, not to mention the follow-up.

There are also costs for defensive formations, city management, personnel garrison, etc.

However, at this point in the market affairs, there are basically no obstacles.

The location of Fang City has been determined. It is the plain that Ling Tianxing originally selected. It is just right away from the positions of various forces and can be regarded as an important transportation thoroughfare. As for the spiritual veins, plus the existing 10,000 spiritual stone resources, the Ling family

Just add another 10,000 spirit stones, and leave it to the formation masters of the Zhang family; the construction of the city is simple, just build some shops and residences according to the planned divisions, and you can get the raw materials from the mountains; as for the follow-up

His management has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Ling Tianxing also breathed a sigh of relief. The task assigned to him by the clan leader was half completed.

……

Three days later, the family hall and meeting hall.

Ling Tianxing sat under the sixth elder, waiting for the arrival of the clan leader with the other elders. It was already the end of the year, and according to family rules, the clan leader summoned all the elders to hold a year-end clan meeting.

"Tianxing, in the past few years in clan meetings, we elders have often heard of your glorious deeds!" Sixth Elder Ling Shifeng was closest to Ling Tianxing and greeted him.

"Second uncle is making a joke. Tianxing is still young and he still needs to learn more from his second uncle!" Ling Tianxing said modestly.

"Tian Xing doesn't have to be humble, your contribution is obvious to all!" Fourth Elder Ling Qidan looked over, his eyes filled with an inexplicable meaning.

"Your seventeenth grandfather is an intermediate alchemist, and the family's senior alchemist Ling Shiqiu is his daughter." The great elder Ling Zongtu introduced to Ling Tianxing.

"Haha, Tian Xing, speaking of which, we have to thank you. If it weren't for your magic talisman, we would have been frugal and frugal in the past few years!" Ling Shihe, the fifth elder, is responsible for the family's external affairs. He is optimistic and cheerful. At this time, he revealed an inside story.

"Oh?" Ling Tianxing was curious.

"This is not a secret. In three years there will be an auction held every 20 years in Changqingfang City. The family is planning to buy a foundation-building pill for Ling Shiqiu to use." Great Elder Ling Zongtu explained, "If it weren't for your spiritual talisman, the world would be

The family income has been increased, but now we are still worried about raising spiritual stones!"

"Haha, yes, Tian Xing, do you think we should thank you?"

"That's it." Ling Tianxing understood.

It seems that the family's previous income was not very good, Ling Tianxing thought. After all, he had been focusing on cultivation before, had no contact with the family's finances, and was never short of resources. He didn't know that maintaining the operation of a big family requires a lot of expenses.

"As Tianxing is a member of the family, these are what I should do." Ling Tianxing said modestly.

After everyone chatted for a while, the clan leader came to the conference hall. When he saw everyone had arrived, he exchanged greetings and announced the start of the annual meeting.

Next, the elders took turns reporting on the business they were responsible for, which also made Ling Tianxing realize that the operation of a family requires the cooperation of so many departments.

The Great Elder Ling Zongtu was the first to speak: "There are currently one hundred and thirty-three monks in the family, including two in the foundation building stage, twenty-five in the late stage of Qi training, forty-seven in the middle stage of Qi training, and fifty-nine in the early stage of Qi training. Mortals

More than 100,000."

The second elder Ling Qiming continued: "The family's revenue this year is about 132,000 spirit stones, the expenditure is about 120,000 spirit stones, and the surplus is about 12,000 spirit stones."

"Wow!"

As soon as the second elder finished speaking, the other elders who were unclear about the finances were shocked. This is too much!

However, everyone still wanted to continue reporting, so they had to suppress their excitement and doubts first.

Next, the third elder, fourth elder and others also reported on the situation of their respective departments, which was basically the same as in previous years.

When the sixth elder Ling Shifeng next to him finished his report, Ling Tianxing thought that he was already the seventh elder, so he hurriedly reported: "The task of establishing Fangshi is in progress, and the progress is going well."

Everyone smiles.

Seeing that all the elders had finished reporting, the patriarch Ling Qixing immediately concluded: "This is the situation of the family. This year, because of the participation of the seventh elder, the report will be more detailed. In the future, it can be more concise. In recent years, due to the contribution made by the seventh elder,

, the family's finances are booming, I remember last year the family's profit was only six thousand spiritual stones."

"Yes, I remember it very clearly! Last year it was six thousand spiritual stones, the year before that it was five thousand spiritual stones, the year before that it was three thousand five hundred spiritual stones, and going forward it was two thousand spiritual stones. It has been going on for many years."

The great elder sighed.

"This is all inseparable from Tianxing's efforts. If it weren't for the seventh elder's talisman, the family would not be able to reap such profits!" The second elder is responsible for the finances and knows that there is a reason behind every profit.

"Tianxing just tried his best," Ling Tianxing said modestly.

"This is not meager at all." The patriarch praised without hesitation, "Compared with the family's harvest, the reward for you is really too small."

"Yes, Tian Xing, if you want any reward, just tell us and we will try our best to help you get it!" said the Great Elder.

Other elders also echoed one after another.

"Tianxing is a member of the family. It is my responsibility to contribute to the family, not to mention that I have already received a lot." Ling Tianxing declined.

"Okay, then let's wait until you have any needs in the future and bring them up again." The clan leader agreed.

"There are still three years until the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill. During these three years, we will continue to accumulate strength. In addition, the establishment of the Family Market must also be put on the agenda."

Afterwards, Ling Qixing arranged the tasks for the next year and let everyone disperse.

……

After the family annual meeting, everyone in the Ling family became busy again.

Some people went to Chang'an City to test the spiritual roots of ordinary people. Some people went to several of the family's spiritual fields and spiritual mines to sit in one place.

As for Ling Tianxing, his life has not changed much. The resources for building his spiritual veins have been given to the great elder, and the family will naturally make up for the shortfall.

The construction of Fangshi does not require him to work hard. Whether it is the Ling family who received the task or the Liu family who had shown their loyalty before, they are all capable of this task.

Practice every day, make talismans, hone spells, study new spells and talismans, occasionally take the green-scaled python to hunt nearby, or go to the family Baiyi Hall and Mission Hall to get to know the family members.
