"I can't afford to offend him?" Lin Hai was startled, and then a strange look appeared on his face. If Dongfang Yu heard this, he didn't know what he would think.
"Brother Lin, don't take it seriously!" Dongfang Youlong saw Lin Hai's disapproval, his face suddenly became solemn, and he reminded again.
"You have no idea how terrifying this Dongfang Jade is." Speaking of Dongfang Jade, Dongfang Youlong showed a complicated look in his eyes, and then sighed softly.
"Let me tell you this, Luofeng Town is one of the eight towns south of Liuguang City. Each town has forces that are not weaker than my Dongfang family, and among them there are many geniuses and masters. Even so,
Dongfang Yu can rank fifth among the young generation in the entire South Eight Towns, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of Jindan. You can imagine how terrifying he is, right?"
"Then I don't have to hide from him, right?" Lin Hai was amused.
The young generation in Nanba Town ranks fifth? Late stage of Jindan?
Such an achievement may be remarkable, but in front of yourself, what does it mean?
"Alas, you don't know something!" Dongfang Youlong sighed, becoming a little depressed.
"Brother Lin, does he know why the Seventh Elder wants to see you and not someone else?"
Lin Hai shook his head. He really hadn't thought about this issue. Anyway, he came to see Dongfang Youlong. As for who in the Dongfang family came forward to receive him, Lin Hai didn't care at all.
"Here, it involves some matters within the Dongfang family. Since Brother Lin will soon be a member of the family, I might as well introduce the situation to you."
After Dongfang Youlong finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and sighed again.
"The Dongfang family has eight elders under the head of the family. According to their ranking, they control nearly 70% of the entire family's resources. However, these eight elders are not fixed. They are fought for through competition. The capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted. In this way
Only by ensuring that the family's resources are always concentrated in the hands of the strong, so that the strong will always be strong, can we promote the continuous improvement of the overall strength of the family, and that is why our Dongfang family is in the position it is today."
"My ancestors are the descendants of the Great Elder. They were once unparalleled in glory. However, after so many years, in my generation, the former glory is long gone. Our lineage has been kicked down to the seventh position.
, the current seventh elder is my clan brother in terms of seniority."
Lin Hai heard something stir in his heart and couldn't help but nodded slowly.
"According to what my elder brother said, when I join the Dongfang Family, I am actually entering the lineage of the Seventh Elder?"
"Yes!" Dongfang Youlong nodded, and then a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"It's just that our lineage's current status is in jeopardy and has reached the edge of danger. If we are not careful, we may be replaced by those who come after us!"
"The eighth elder, ranked seventh, is indeed in some danger!" Lin Hai nodded. It seems that the Dongfang Youlong lineage is currently in a very bad situation.
"The reason for this is because our lineage has not had any talented disciples for many years, while other lines have had geniuses emerging in large numbers. As a result, we have been almost at the bottom in the competition for elder ranking."
"The ranking of elders is determined by disciples?" Lin Hai asked in surprise.
"Yes, the younger generation of disciples represents potential. The better they are, the more training resources they should be allocated. Therefore, the Dongfang family has always used this method to rank the elders. The Dongfang Jade I am talking about...
"
When Dongfang Youlong said this, his eyes suddenly darkened.
"His father was once the eighth elder. In the last competition for the position of elder, it was this Dongfang Yu who forcibly defeated the disciples of the elders in front of him and reached third place in one fell swoop!"
"If his brother Dongfang Yan hadn't come forward at the critical moment and secretly told him to stop it and not cause public outrage, I'm afraid the position of the Great Elder would have changed hands!"
"Dongfang Yan?" Lin Hai was stunned. He was not interested in the competition for the position of elder. On the contrary, Dongfang Yan's name made Lin Hai flash a look of surprise.
Because this is not the first time Lin Hai has heard of Dongfang Yan. When he met the Black Wind Three Evils before, even Dong Xiaotian, the boss of the Three Evils, seemed a little afraid of Dongfang Yan.
"Yes, Dongfang Yan!" Dongfang Youlong nodded, with a look of deep fear in his eyes.
"Dongfang Yan is the eldest son of the third elder. He has extraordinary talents, extremely high understanding, and unfathomable Taoism. At a young age, he has reached the stage of perfect golden elixir. He is only one step away from condensing the Nascent Soul. He can be called the Eighth Town of South for a thousand years.
A rare genius!"
"Although Dongfang Yu is strong, he is not worth mentioning in front of his brother Dongfang Yan. Fortunately, Dongfang Yan has been favored by the big forces in Liuyun City and rarely participates in family affairs. Otherwise, he would say casually,
Today’s great elders must give up their positions obediently.”
"Golden elixir perfection?" Lin Hai nodded slowly. If so, Dongfang Yan is indeed a genius. Even if he has so many adventures, if the Immortal in the Pot hadn't helped him forcibly condense the Nascent Soul, I'm afraid he wouldn't be the best at this moment.
, it’s nothing more than the Golden Elixir Dzogchen.
Having said this, a bitter sadness flashed in Dongfang Youlong's eyes.
"Nowadays, our lineage is losing more and more talents. If we lose again in the next competition, we may not even be able to keep the position of the Seventh Elder. Just when the Seventh Elder was helpless, I returned to the family and solemnly expressed my sincere gratitude to him.
I have recommended you, and the Seventh Elder has high hopes for you."
"I'll go, are you going to let your brother do the work as soon as you get here?" Dongfang Youlong said for a long time, and Lin Hai finally understood what he meant. Does this mean that he will fight in the battle for the elder position?
"Brother Lin, although I admire you very much, there is something I have to say." Dongfang Youlong hesitated and said.
“Brother Dongfang, if you have something to say, it’s okay to say it!”
"Today's Dongfang family is completely different from the records left behind by my ancestors when they entered the mortal world."
"In my ancestor's generation, in the Dongfang family at that time, the golden elixir immortals were like phoenix feathers and dragon horns, and their status in the family was very high. However, after so many years of development and growth, there are no less than thirty golden elixir immortals in the family.
Moreover, because of the quality of spiritual energy, practitioners in the earthly immortal world are much stronger than practitioners in the mortal world at the same level. Although my brother is in the middle stage of the golden elixir, he is no match for an early stage golden elixir disciple in the clan."
"Therefore, my brother wants to tell you that after you join the family, just concentrate on your cultivation. With your qualifications and potential, your achievements in the future will be limitless. You must not fight with others, especially Dongfang Yu, because he is really too strong.
, you are far from his opponent now. If you were injured before the battle for the elder position, you would lose more than you gain."
"What Miss Yuke said before, even though it didn't sound right, she was also from the bottom of her heart!"
"Okay, I understand!" Lin Hai nodded. Concentrating on cultivation was just what he wanted. As long as others didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, he wouldn't bother to deal with it.
As for Dongfang Jade, let alone fighting, I’m afraid this guy will be scared to death when he sees him, right?
As they talked along the way, the two people arrived in front of a magnificent and vast manor in the southeast.
