Lu Xuanji coughed and said, "Great Elder, let's talk about other things!"
The great elder nodded and just nodded on this issue. That was enough. He did not continue. Instead, he said: "Cultivation requires spiritual roots. The probability of a mortal being born with a spiritual root is one in a thousand. The probability of a monk's descendant being born with a spiritual root is
One-tenth."
"In addition, the higher the parents' cultivation level, the higher the probability that their son will have a spiritual root, and the higher the quality of the spiritual root."
"The birth of spiritual roots is uncertain."
"There are now more than 500 monks in the Lu family, but there are only ten three spiritual roots, and one of them has you. This situation is very bad. The Ye family has a lot of talent shortages!"
Lu Xuanji flipped through the booklet and frowned slightly. There was a big problem.
The birth of spiritual roots is uncertain.
Back then, my parents, one a foundation-building monk and the other a Qi-training monk, gave birth to three children, one was a mortal, one had five spiritual roots, and one had three spiritual roots.
Similarly, Ye Feixue's parents are just mortals, but Ye Feixue has heavenly spiritual roots.
Spiritual roots have randomness, contingency, and uncertainty.
It depends on whether he is a European emperor or a non-chief.
But in recent years, the Lu family has had bad luck, and the number of children with spiritual roots born after testing has been decreasing.
In the past thirty years, only three children with three spiritual roots have been detected.
The Lu family is unlucky and seems to have entered a non-chief state.
Many Jindan aristocratic families and Yuanying aristocratic families have declined due to lack of talents and lack of talent.
"Great Elder, what can you do about the lack of talents in the Lu family and the lack of talent?" Lu Xuanji asked.
The Great Elder said: "There are only two ways. One is to encourage family monks to have children, and the other is to accept monks with foreign surnames, especially casual monks, and integrate them into the family."
"I'll just skip the first one and let's talk about the second question!"
"Accepting foreign monks can strengthen the family's monks. Over the years, the Lu family has successively accepted seven foundation-building monks as guests of the family. Some of them chose to marry into the Lu family, and some chose to marry women from the Lu family. They settled down in the Lu family.
Yes! But the corresponding problem also arises, how to arrange them!"
"First of all, how are these guests treated? If the treatment is too high, the family monks will be dissatisfied, and the family monks will say, how can we allow foreign monks to ride on our heads; but if the treatment is too low, it will cause the foreign monks to become disloyal."
"Secondly, how to distribute the power of these guest ministers. Should we open up channels and let them control the power of the family and treat them as our own? Or should we directly suppress them, prohibit them from occupying high positions in the family, and directly use them as cannon fodder."
"Finally, there is not much conflict between the family monks and foreign guests. The main reason is that the Ye family has developed rapidly. However, once it comes to a standstill or is invaded by foreign enemies, the conflicts will intensify and expand."
"You need to deal with these."
Without hiding anything, he directly stated another big problem caused by the Ye family's lack of support.
The Lu family is a cultivating family, and the monks are mainly Lu. However, they also accept a large number of monks with foreign surnames every year and recruit them as guest guests.
Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.
As for the kind of closed management that refuses to accept monks with foreign surnames, it is neither feasible nor realistic.
However, after a monk with a foreign surname joins the Ye family, he will inevitably have conflicts with the Ye family monks.
Some cultivating families directly use foreign monks as cannon fodder, and various welfare benefits are also reduced, leading to internal disunity and eventually destruction; in some cultivating families, foreign monks take the opportunity to grow bigger, clean up all the family monks, and occupy high positions.
"Great Elder, what do you think?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
An old house where a treasure.
If you are in doubt about something, just ask the elder.
The great elder said: "When the family monks are at loggerheads with the foreign monks, there are three options. One is to separate the family directly, and each has his own way; one is to have a direct civil war, and fight to determine the winner;
One is that a family’s cultivation of immortality is transformed into a sect’s cultivation of immortality!”
"It is said that five thousand years ago, there was no Danyang sect. At that time, there was only the Ye family in the twelve counties. The Ye family was powerful, with seven or eight subsidiaries including the Qian family, the Sun family, the Zhao family, etc.
Family. If the Ye family has always been strong, these affiliated families will naturally be obedient and obedient!"
"But as the Ye family was in decline, its talents were cut off, and the eight affiliated families gradually caught up with them. Because of the imbalance of power, there were constant conflicts with each other."
"At that time, the Ye family was in decline, but there was still a strong man who was half a step into the Nascent Soul. Some monks from the Ye family asked the ancestor to take action to kill the golden elixir monks from other families, suppress the world, and reshape the Ye family.
Majestic. But this ancestor of the Ye family chose to give up, directly ended the Ye family, and joined forces with several other Jindan ancestors to establish the Danyang Sect."
"Now, the Danyang Sect has gradually become an alliance of forces among the seven major cultivating families."
"Xuanji, what do you understand from this story?"
Lu Xuanji thought deeply: "The patriarch said that if the family falls into a world where there is no support, we must have the courage to give up."
"Yes, that's the truth!"
The elder said: "When we educate the younger generations of the family, we always tell them to revitalize the family, fight for the family, and strive for the family. But you are the clan leader now, and I am the elder. Let's not say those lies.
Clichés, nonsense, just tell the truth.”
"Family cultivation means helping relatives but not taking care of others. When the family is weak, this concept can unite the clan members. But if the family has grown to a certain level, it is still arrogant and unreasonable to help relatives but not taking care of others.
Being arrogant and domineering will lead to your own destruction."
"If your family can be your help, then keep your family; if your family can become your drag, then let go of the drag and the burden."
Lu Xuanji asked: "All original sins are failure to cope with the old age! Is there no way to improve the level of children's spiritual roots?"
"Yes, there are many ways!"
The ancestor smiled and said: "I know several ways. I won't say much about the others. I'm just going to talk about one way. There is a spiritual fruit called the Creation Fruit. Taking the Creation Fruit can increase the probability of spiritual roots.
and level.
A first-grade Creation Fruit has a one-thousandth chance of awakening spiritual roots; a second-grade Creation Fruit has a one-hundredth probability of awakening spiritual roots; a third-grade Creation Fruit has a one-tenth probability of awakening spiritual roots; a fourth-grade Creation Fruit has a certain probability of awakening spiritual roots.
Awakening spiritual roots, the worst kind of awakened spiritual roots are three spiritual roots."
"If you take the fifth-grade creation fruit, you will have a five-level probability of awakening the third spiritual root, a three-level probability of awakening the second spiritual root or a foreign spiritual root, and a one-level probability of awakening the heavenly spiritual root."
"A first-grade good fortune fruit is cheap and only requires one spiritual stone; but the higher the grade, the higher the price of good fortune fruit. You are a spiritual planter, you can try to cultivate good fortune fruit trees."
