Chapter 11 Promotion to Elder

It didn't take long for more than a dozen cultivators of the family who were in the late stage of Qi practice to arrive in the family hall.

Because it is the end of the year, most of the family monks have returned to the clan, except the first elder who guards Pingyang County and cannot leave. Even the second elder has given up his business in Yuyangfang City and returned to Qingyuan Mountain to participate in this time. clan.

The person who presides over the clan meeting is the third elder who is in charge of clan affairs. He is the link of the clan, he has a certain understanding of all aspects, and he has the clearest understanding of the family's financial situation.

Seeing that he no longer had the sadness of the past, he rarely showed a smile.

"Let's discuss a few things at the clan today."

"The first thing is that after the efforts of everyone in the past few years, the family's foreign debt has been paid off."

"Also, the success rate of Naqi pills this year is also very good, probably more than 600 spirit stones can be sold."

Hearing what the third elder said, everyone couldn't help showing excitement.

The family treasury poured into [-] spirit stones, which means that the family is rich, and the spirit stones and salaries owed to them can also be gradually reissued.

But at this time, the third elder said again.

"The patriarch's injury has not improved for a long time, and if it is dragged on, there is a risk of further deterioration."

"I heard that Taoist Jiang from Tianxu Mountain made a pot of nourishing vein pills in order to save his disciples a few years ago, and now there are three remaining."

"So I'm going to keep the money. After I collect enough money, I will let someone take it to Tianxu Mountain to buy a nourishing pill, which will reduce the healing time for the patriarch."

When everyone heard the words, their expressions were slightly stunned, but they didn't say anything.

The Nourishing Vessel Pill is a second-order high-grade medicinal pill, which can treat the muscle and vein injuries of the foundation-building cultivator. For the Chen family, the most important thing is that the patriarch recovers as soon as possible.

Chen Nianzhi listened quietly. He knew that if the salary was not repaid all year round, the borrowed money would never be returned to the clansmen. Even if everyone didn't say anything, most of them would have some criticisms in their hearts.

The most important thing is that if you don't pay a salary for a long time, I am afraid it will greatly affect the cultivation progress of the Chen family cultivator. Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said.

"In these years, the family treasury is empty, and everyone's merits are not enough."

"Well, in the future, I will take out [-] spiritual peaches into the family treasury every year and exchange them for family merits."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look stunned. Although family merits and spirit stones were exchanged for one-to-one, it was a different matter to actually use them.

The family treasury is almost empty now, and even if there is merit, it is worthless. Chen Nianzhi takes out [-] spiritual peaches in exchange for success every year, which is simply to revitalize the family treasury at his own expense.

At least until the family deficit is eliminated and the family pool is replenished, these merits are almost useless to Chen Nianzhi.

But for the monks in the clan, this is a great thing. Ling Tao can improve their cultivation, and it is even easier to use than Lingshi.

One spirit peach is worth five spirit stones, and thirty spirit peaches are worth 150 spirit stones. With these thirty spirit peaches every year in the future, everyone will have some hope of practicing.

"No." The third elder, Chen Qinghao, shook his head immediately and said, "The Ling Tao is in the warehouse, what about your cultivation?"

"It doesn't matter, I have already broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, and the future is just water grinding."

"Besides, there are still a lot of remaining spirit peach trees produced by the spirit peach tree."

Chen Nianzhi said resolutely, everyone heard the words slightly, and finally did not persuade.

"You."

The third elder patted Chen Nianzhi on the shoulder, shook his head helplessly, and then looked at everyone and said:

"The second thing to announce is the appointment of the eighth elder."

"Since Nianzhi has broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, then according to the clan rules, he will be the eighth elder of the clan, do you have any opinions?"

The second elder, Chen Qinghe, said with a smile: "One more elder in the family can relieve the family's predicament. How can we have any opinions?"

The second elder, who had a very high status in the family, spoke up, and everyone present naturally agreed with a smile.

So at his young age, Chen Nianzhi became the first Ninth-Layer Qi Practitioner of his generation, and officially became one of the family's few power holders.

The meeting was carried out in an orderly manner, and the content was mainly used to arrange various matters for the next year. It lasted for three hours before it ended.

After the meeting was over, the three elders specially kept Chen Nianzhi behind.

"Nianzhi, after the new year, don't go back to Lingzhou Lake."

"Oh?"

Seeing Chen Nianzhi's puzzled look, Chen Qinghao said with a smile, "After the New Year, it's time for the mortals of the family to test their spiritual roots once a year."

"I can't open my body here, so I want you to test the spiritual roots for the children."

Hearing what he said, Chen Nianzhi nodded.

Detecting spiritual roots for mortals is not an easy task. Generally speaking, the most effective method is to use a spiritual detection disk to detect spiritual roots.

However, the Spirit Test Pan is a second-tier high-grade magic weapon, worth thousands of spirit stones. Generally, weak immortal cultivators are reluctant to buy it. Naturally, the Chen family has no spare money to buy this thing.

In addition to the spiritual detection plate, the ninth-level qi cultivator is so infuriating that he can barely sense his spiritual roots.

But this is the earth method, the probability of detecting the spiritual root is only [-] to [-]%, and it can only vaguely sense the attributes of the spiritual root.

The method used by the Chen family to detect the spiritual roots of mortals is actually this kind of soil method. Nowadays, the ninth-level qi-training monks in the Chen family are rare. Linggen's errand.

"Think of it..."

After coming out of the clan hall, Chen Qingmeng suddenly stopped Chen Nianzhi, looking a little hesitant to speak.

Chen Nianzhi paused, and found that the Sixth Elder seemed to be waiting in front of him for a long time, so he hurried forward and cupped his hands.

"I've met Uncle 26."

"You are already a clan elder, so you don't have to be so polite in the future."

Chen Qingmeng had a melancholy look on his face, looking at the young and young Chen Nianzhi in front of him, his heart became more and more melancholy.

As the only first-tier top-grade alchemist in the Chen family, Chen Qingmeng's talent is actually not bad. He was born with two spiritual roots.

Later, after more than ten years of accumulation, he has completely reached the peak of Qi refining.In terms of this talent alone, at least among the Chen Jiaqing generation, it is second only to Chen Qingyuan, who worshipped the Qingyang Sect.

Today's Chen Qingmeng is only in his early fifties. According to Shou Yuan, who is at the peak of Qi practice, he is still in his prime.

It stands to reason that with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, even if Chen Qingmeng fails to break through, he will not decline like this.It looks like this now, I am afraid it is because of the external debt that the family can't repay in this life, and the mental and spiritual pressure.
