After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ling Changsheng gradually let go.

He and Ling Tianxing have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is much better than that between ordinary clan members. Coupled with the First Elder's intentional guidance, they naturally become closer.

This time he came to Changqingfang City because the Great Elder arranged to go to Qingluan Pavilion for further training after seeing his achievements in managing Taohuafang City.

As the elder of the family, he assists the patriarch in managing the entire family, coordinating the overall situation, and must understand all aspects of the family.

In fact, Ling Qixing, the patriarch, may not have as much control over family affairs as Ling Zongtu.

However, the two of them have their own division of labor. As the highest combat power of the family, Ling Qixing is more suitable to focus on cultivation. For the development of the family, it only needs to set a direction and not deviate from the course as a whole.

Therefore, as the successor trained by Ling Zongtu, he not only manages the new Taohuafang City, but also enters Qingluan Pavilion to learn financial management, how to treat people, etc.

In the future, Ling Changsheng will also go to the family spiritual field, spiritual mine, law enforcement team, Baiyi Hall and other places to gain experience, so I won’t mention it.

At the wine table, Ling Changsheng became a little drunk after drinking several glasses of wine.

"Twenty-seventh uncle, Changsheng... I will never be able to be a big brother." Ling Changsheng held the wine glass and stared blankly ahead, with longing and bitterness in his eyes.

Nearly a year has passed since the Evergreen Dharma Assembly, and naturally it has been passed back to the family. Unlike outsiders who only know Ling Tianwu and the others from one battle, as monks of the same clan, they naturally know more about the past.

Ling Tianwu's battle at the Dharma Assembly was admirable. Although it showed the cohesion of the Qingluan Ling family, it also put a lot of pressure on Ling Changsheng, the eldest brother of the "eldest" generation.

Perhaps because he has been valued by the great elder since childhood, Ling Changsheng has been with Ling Zongtu for a long time, and he also attaches great importance to rules like the great elder. In addition, due to his personality, he is not as domineering as Ling Shixiong, Ling Tianwu and others, but has a

The appearance of a weak scholar.

It was fine before I was a minor, but after I became an adult and came into contact with more family affairs, I felt even more heavy pressure on me.

Now at this wine table, facing the close elders of the same age, I can't help but show my true feelings.

Ling Tianxing sighed in his heart, there were too many monsters and monsters on the road of cultivation, and the help others could give was really limited, so he had to rely more on himself.

However, he didn't want to see the pain in Ling Changsheng's heart, so he thought for a moment before explaining:

"Changsheng, 'big brother' is just a symbol. No matter who you are, as long as you can set an example for the clan and lead the family to a better place, you can be this big brother.

What's more, everyone has their own fate, and Brother Tianwu and the others have also gone through many hardships to get to where they are now. We are all still young, and there is still a long time in the future."

"There is still a long time..." Ling Changsheng murmured to himself, the bitterness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and a touch of determination appeared on his face, "Well, the future is still unknown, I will work harder."

……

After sending Ling Changsheng back to Qingluan Pavilion, Ling Tianxing and his nineteenth uncle Ling Shiyi exchanged words.

From Ling Shiyi, he also learned a lot about the recent family situation.

Thirty-three Aunt Ling Shiqiu returned to Qingluan Mountain after advancing to foundation building. With the help of Earth Fire, she officially advanced to become a second-level alchemist after spending a lot of second-level elixirs.

The book of alchemy that Ling Shiyi had previously exchanged from a casual cultivator has been sent back to his family. Together with the Yin Soul Grass and Yin Beads obtained from the Yin Soul Treasure Land, he has been able to refine the True Soul Pill, which increases spiritual awareness.

Pill.

The emergence of the True Soul Pill has brought a lot of hope to the tribe. After all, spiritual consciousness is the most difficult to cultivate, and many monks fail to build foundations because their spiritual consciousness is not strong enough.

Although they could exchange for Yin Soul Grass and Yin Pearl for refining before, they were expensive and extremely painful to refine. The effect was not good and it was also very wasteful.

The only pity is that Aunt Shiqiu's alchemy talent is average, and the rate of elixir formation is not too high.

This time Ling Changsheng and others came to Fangshi and brought a small amount of true soul pills and second-level pills.

True soul pills can be refined by Ling Tianwu and others to enhance their foundation. Although the second-level pills are ordinary pills, they can also improve the business of Qingluan Pavilion.

In addition, after the Green Scale Python was exposed, the Ling family had four foundation-building combatants, just like the Zhang family in Black Turtle Mountain and the Xu family after the exposure. It had more foundation-building forces than the Yin family had three, and was second only to the King of White Tiger Mountain.

Home.

After the Dharma Conference, the patriarch Ling Qixing once again had friendly discussions with a group of large and small forces and allocated a lot of basic resource shares.

If these resources were placed in ordinary stores, it would be difficult to sell them all. However, Qingluan Pavilion is driven by the Qingluan Spirit Talisman, and most of the refined elixirs, magic weapons, spiritual talismans, and formations will not be unsaleable.

Therefore, the family has dispatched many clansmen who are skilled in various cultivation arts to come to Fangshi, so that they can better serve the monks.

Ling Shiyi spoke with pride and admiration. As a shopkeeper, he watched the profits of Qingluan Pavilion continue to grow little by little, so he naturally understood the hardships and reasons.

Ling Tianxing smiled slightly, the development of the family cannot be separated from everyone's contribution.

The Qingluan Talisman he provided seemed to be equally popular, but the profit the family received was not very large, and he pocketed 50% of it.

What really makes the family profit are those ordinary spiritual objects. And these rely on the joint hard work of all clan members.

Of course, he will not belittle himself. Family and individual have always complemented each other.

Without his talisman, the family would not have been able to develop so quickly; without the family collecting materials for him and mediating with other forces, he would not have been able to practice peacefully.

After returning from Uncle Nineteen, Ling Tianxing sat quietly in the courtyard for a long time before returning to the quiet room to continue practicing.

Now that everything in the family is going smoothly, there is nothing that requires him to take care of. Naturally, cultivation is the most important thing.

……

While Ling Tianxing continued to practice, making talismans, fighting swords, researching spiritual talismans, honing his spells and comprehending the life of Jin Zhi, two years passed unknowingly.

This summer, fifty-five-year-old Ling Tianwu returned to the Qingluan Mountain tribe.

"Dad, I'm back!" In a courtyard halfway up the mountain, Ling Tianwu knelt down in front of the door.

"Okay, just come back." The courtyard door opened wide, and the white-haired old man in a green robe muttered, with tears in his eyes.

A few days later.

"Tianwu, have you decided? If you wait a little longer, the family may not be able to find a foundation-building pill." In the family hall, the elder looked at Ling Tianwu and advised.

"Great Elder, I have made up my mind." Ling Tianwu said forcefully.

"Okay. I'll leave this dust-free pill to you." Ling Zongtu took out a jade box with exquisite patterns carved on it, and then warned, "Before retreating, you can go to the library to print a copy of the foundation building experience."

Ling Tianwu solemnly put away the elixir and said to Ling Zongtu: "Yes, Great Elder!"

One year later.

In Ling Tianwu's retreat place, spiritual energy surged toward the cave like a whirlpool, and it stopped after seven days.
Chapter completed!
