The Ninth Elder returned to his room and began his rest journey. He was resting here, and the old drunkard and the others over there were also not idle during this period. They tried their best to find members of the family and let them
They all became Lin Ming’s followers!
The number of Lin Ming's followers in the entire Celestial Realm is also doing their best to expand here.
…
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye!
The largest family in Hanyuan City, that is, the family where their city lord belongs, the Chen family elders meeting was officially held!
Every elders' meeting is a big event for the Chen family!
The elders will not hold a meeting here idle. Since they have already discussed and held a meeting here, it means that they are already aware of the importance of this matter. The whole family has got the news, saying
It is a meeting of elders to be held in the family.
Suddenly, the hottest topic among the family became the elders’ meeting!
"Have you heard!? The family is going to hold an elders meeting!"
"I heard, do you know what the elders meeting will study this time?!"
"I know, I know, it is said that the Ninth Elder is approaching his lifespan and has found a way to extend his lifespan. He needs help from the family here!"
"ah?!"
"Does this still need to hold an elders' meeting?!"
"We must help. Every elder is an important force in the family. As long as there are enough elders, we can ensure the prosperity of the family!"
"yes!"
"This issue really does not need to be discussed!"
"Then how could it lead to a meeting of elders!?"
"I asked you why you haven't understood it yet. Doesn't this mean that the family attaches great importance to this time?! The family must fully support an elder's longevity issue. But if the family wants to support it, it must pass
Only by holding a meeting of elders can we show that we attach great importance to this matter!"
"That's right, that's how it should be!"
Everyone nodded here one after another, which was considered to be recognition of this statement.
It was in this atmosphere that the Chen family's elders' meeting was officially held in the Chen family's ancestral temple!
The Chen family's elders' meeting has always been held in the ancestral temple, which also means that the meeting must be opened with the testimony of the ancestors in the clan.
Those enshrined in the ancestral temple are the ancestors of the clan. Anyone who can enter the ancestral temple must have been at least an elder level existence during his lifetime. If he does not reach the elder level, no matter what kind of person he is,
Qualified to enter the ancestral temple.
This is also the rule set by the first generation ancestors of the Chen family.
All his descendants must abide by the rules here!
Over the years, no one in the Chen family has ever disobeyed!
There are a total of twenty elders in the Chen family, plus the city lord himself, a total of twenty-one ninth-level immortals. Three of them are not in the family at this time, which means a total of eighteen should arrive!
In fact, there are still eighteen people!
The city lord is sitting on the main seat, with the first elder and the second elder on his left and right hands respectively. The other elders are also sitting in order according to their positions.
After the Lord City Lord glanced at the many elders, he said directly:
"Everyone's time is precious, I won't waste it here, let's talk directly! This time the elders meeting was held, it was mainly the Ninth Elder who made the proposal, and I passed it. The Ninth Elder's life was about to end, and he found a way to extend his life.
This method requires some support from the family. This method of extending life expectancy requires blood-related people to believe in it. He wants to hold a family meeting so that the family members can become his believers!"
Having said this, he paused for a moment and said:
"Everyone, before convening the elders meeting, the ninth elder made a promise to me. He said that if he could not get the support of the ten elders, then he would voluntarily give up this proposal! Let me make my position clear first. In principle,
He agrees with the Ninth Elder to convene an elders meeting and is willing to allow people in the family to become his believers. However, he has to add a clause at the end. Anyone in the middle level or above of the family can voluntarily choose whether to become a believer of the Ninth Elder. If the other party is unwilling, they must not
force!"
The Ninth Elder looked at the City Lord with a little surprise.
This was clearly not what the other party said when he promised him before!
What a fickle person!
However, the Lord City Lord said this, which can be regarded as expressing his support for the Ninth Elder here. Even if he does not fully support the Ninth Elder here, he can still be regarded as supporting the Ninth Elder to a certain extent.
As long as he is here to support himself!
The Ninth Elder was also comforting himself in his heart.
With the support of the family head and the more than ten elders he has secured, the convening of this family meeting is already a certainty. Unless there are special circumstances and the clan cannot return, all the remaining family members are sure to do so.
You have to return here!
Until then……
There are many members of the family who want to become the master's believers through his clone jade pendant!
Maybe he will have the opportunity to compensate for the ten years of life advanced by his master in the shortest possible time, and regain a longer life!
"hey-hey!"
Just thinking about it here, the corners of the Ninth Elder's mouth could not help but raise slightly, and his eyes were full of expectation.
While the Ninth Elder was secretly excited, the City Lord over there had already cast his eyes on the First Elder and signaled him to express his stance.
The process of the elders' meeting has always been like this. The highest-ranking elder will express his position first, and then down to the 20th elder. In fact, it is not mandatory for the city lord to express his position in advance.
He can express his stance before the great elder, or he can express his stance after the great elder.
According to past practice, if he expresses his attitude beforehand, it will usually affect the attitude of the elders. If he expresses his attitude after the fact, he wants to see what kind of attitude the elders have!
This time, the head of the family had expressed his position in advance here. The elder nodded slightly and said without hesitation:
"I agree with the proposal of the head of the family!"
The second elder also said from the side:
"I also agree with the proposal of the master of the family."
"I second the motion!"
"I abstain!"
The fourth elder did not express his position and directly abstained from voting.
Such an attitude is expected by all the elders in the family. Everyone knows that the fourth elder has always been relatively withdrawn, and his relationship with anyone in the family is quite ordinary!
All along, what he cared about most was his own practice!
If you let him focus on other things besides his own practice, you are just embarrassing him here!
He would never agree here.
After the matter has reached this point, he has now seen it clearly. He doesn't care what other people think?!
He himself abstained from voting, neither supporting nor opposing!
The fifth elder continued to speak:
"I support the proposal of the head of the family!"
The Sixth Elder continued.
"I second the motion!"
All the way to the Ninth Elder, it was naturally impossible for him to object to his own proposal, so he immediately said:
"I second the motion!"
The tenth elder arrived next. The tenth elder glanced at the ninth elder, with some reluctance in his heart, and said loudly:
"I object!"
The Tenth Elder has always been at odds with the Ninth Elder, and everyone expected him to object here, but everyone also knows that the Tenth Elder's opposition at this time is more of a gesture!
I'm afraid even the tenth elder himself already knows in his heart that he can't stop the ninth elder's proposal from being passed at the elders' meeting!
Before him, only one of the four elders abstained, and all the remaining elders agreed!
In other words, as long as two more of the seven elders behind him express their approval, then the matter has already been passed here.
Some of the people behind him will definitely be influenced by the head of the family, the first elder and the second elder and agree.
The goals of the two of them can be achieved easily!
Sure enough, as the ten elders expected, no one among the remaining seven elders expressed any objection at all, and they all voted in favor!
Seeing this, the head of the family nodded with satisfaction and said directly:
"Everyone has seen this result!"
"It fully explains what the Ninth Elder is going to do, and everyone is expecting it!"
"Then, let's first ask the Ninth Elder to take out his clone jade pendant. If there are existences at our elder level that are willing to help the Ninth Elder and become the believers of the other party, they can follow the other party and say a word. If you don't want to, you don't have to open your mouth!"
The head of the family doesn't intend to force them here.
The Ninth Elder did not hesitate and took out the clone jade pendant without hesitation, and glanced at the few people who had not become the master's followers!
Said directly:
"Dear Master, I am willing to become your believer, please accept me."
After saying this, the scene fell into silence for a while.
Most of these elders have already become Lin Ming's followers, so they won't pretend to be Lin Ming's followers here.
The remaining Ninth Elders have already found each other. The other party does not want to be Lin Ming's disciple at all. They didn't want to become Lin Ming's disciple before, and they still don't want to become Lin Ming's disciple at all.
The Ninth Elder was not surprised by this scene.
He was not surprised. When the head of the family saw this scene, he was somewhat stunned and said incredulously:
"how?!"
"Is there no one at the elder level who is willing to become a disciple of the Ninth Elder and support the Ninth Elder?!"
"Okay, I'll take the lead here..."
The head of the family looked at the clone jade pendant and said directly:
"Dear Master, I am willing to become your believer, please accept my faith!"
After saying these words, the head of the family couldn't help but froze. The Ninth Elder looked at him as if he had become a disciple of Lin Ming. He noticed the message in his mind. He looked at the Ninth Elder's eyes and said,
There was a slight change. Similarly, the Ninth Elder also noticed here that there was a smile on the corner of the city lord's mouth.
Just by seeing this, he could be sure that it was exactly what he had predicted before.
The master of the house is willing to become his disciple.
No wonder!
As long as you become a believer of the Master, you will have the opportunity to enter that higher realm.
For so many years, the master's cultivation has been stuck at the ninth level of the immortal. He also wants to enter the peak of the tenth level of the immortal. Unfortunately, his qualifications are limited, let alone the more advanced level.
In the realm.
What is happening now is an opportunity for him.
An opportunity.
An opportunity that allows him to enter a higher realm!
He was naturally quite excited here.
At the same time, he already understood that what the Ninth Elder said before was just an excuse.
There is only one purpose, and that is to hope that he and the people in his family will all become believers of the master!
After becoming a follower of his master, he glanced at the elders. Seeing his gaze looking over, all the elders who had become followers of Lin Ming also nodded slightly here!
It can be regarded as telling the family head here that they, like him, have become Lin Ming's followers. Everyone is already Lin Ming's believer.
From the eyes of these people, the head of the family felt what they meant. The few remaining elders who have not become Lin Ming's followers here!
After a short pause, he now somewhat regretted the voluntary principle he just mentioned here. If he had not mentioned this voluntary principle here, then at this time, he could have forced himself to say this to the elders.
It's over.
Now?!
He can only use a few strategies. Whether he wants to become Lin Ming's disciple depends on the thoughts of the elders.
He immediately looked at the great elder and said to him:
"Great Elder, I have set an example. You are the Great Elder, do you want to join us?!"
"Do your duty!"
The Great Elder said without hesitation, and then recited the words of Lin Ming!
He was already a believer in Lin Ming, and saying it again now would not change his belief any more.
After the head of the family waited for the elder to finish speaking, he looked at the remaining elders and said again:
"What?! It's not enough for me and the First Elder to set an example for you?! Hasn't anyone taken the initiative yet?! Second Elder, do you also want to set an example here?!"
The words have been said here. In fact, the second elder did not want to become anyone's believer. He is quite cautious about believers. It's just that the master and the elder have set an example here. He
If the second elder does not give a certain demonstration here, it seems to be refuting the face of the family head.
The face of the head of the family is not the sole of your shoe, and not everyone can step on it here.
Even if the head of the family doesn’t say anything now?!
He will definitely look for opportunities to bring this place back in the future.
