That afternoon, while Liu Changxu was refining a first-level medium-grade magic weapon, a short sword, his mother Lin Yulian walked in.
Liu Changxu knew that his mother must have something important, otherwise she would not have come in at this time.
Sure enough, her mother Lin Yulian said: "Xu'er, your fourth uncle failed to build the foundation. Your father and he are on their way home."
Hearing what his mother said, Liu Changxu felt bad. Although the relationship between his father and the Sixth Elder Liu Shisheng was not very good. Since they were close in age and had incompatible tempers, they had not had a good relationship since childhood. But speaking from the bottom of his heart, Liu Changxu still hoped that
He can build the foundation. After all, the upcoming human-monster war will put too much pressure on the Liu family.
In fact, even with the help of foundation-building pills, monks have a high failure rate in foundation-building. When her mother Lin Yulian built the foundation, most of the clan members, including Liu Changxu, were not optimistic about it. They just didn't expect that Lin Yulian succeeded in building the foundation. It was really bad luck.
Not bad.
Liu Changxu thought for a while and said, "When will mother's foundation building ceremony be held?"
Mother Lin Yulian said: "Let's wait until your father comes back!"
"Okay!" Liu Changxu replied helplessly:
Although the date for the foundation building ceremony could not be determined, there was a lot of preparation work that needed to be done. After the mother and son discussed it, the mother Lin Yulian left.
Two days later, his father Liu Shihao and Sixth Elder Liu Shisheng returned to Taohua Mountain. Since the foundation building was not successful, Liu Shisheng stayed behind closed doors when he returned home.
Liu Shihao organized a family elders meeting in the Peach Blossom Palace the next morning to discuss the foundation ceremony of his wife Lin Yulian and how to deal with the human-monster war.
After the family elders sat down one after another, Liu Changxu discovered that the strength of the family's top management had been further enhanced. Although the sixth elder Liu Shisheng failed to build the foundation, it did not affect the strength of the Liu family in Taohuashan.
The patriarch Liu Baishan loudly introduced the current strength of the family to the family elders sitting here: "Everyone! Our Liu family now has three monks in the early stage of foundation building, seven monks in the Qi Refining Dzogchen Stage, and nine monks in the later stage of Qi Refining.
There are thirty-five monks in the middle stage and sixty-five monks in the early stage of Qi refining. The overall strength of the family's monks is no longer what it used to be.
Driven by the strong strength of the family, the land has been expanded to 800 miles, the family territory exceeds more than a thousand miles, and the spiritual items produced in the family territory have also been greatly improved. In a word, my Liu family has finally become stronger.
What we have to do now is to prepare for Elder Lin’s foundation-building celebration and strive for greater benefits for the family. If you have any good suggestions, please tell us!"
The great elder Liu Qiusheng tied up his long white beard and said: "Although the strength of my Liu family is not what it used to be, in the upcoming human-monster war, our strength is still not good enough!"
These words restored calm to everyone who was in a state of excitement. Even if the Liu family were several times stronger, it would still not be enough in a human-monster war!
At this time, Fourth Elder Liu Baichuan said: "Since the family monks cannot improve their strength in a short time, I suggest that we start to recruit casual cultivators to join the family's clan army."
Hearing what the fourth elder said, the family elders sitting there immediately started talking, and the fourth elder's suggestion was not surprising.
It is not that the Liu family has not thought of this method in the past, but because the family itself is weak, it does not have the strength to attract those powerful casual cultivators to join the Liu family. On the other hand, even if there are powerful casual cultivators to join, the Liu family does not dare to
Take it!
There are many examples of casual cultivators who joined a family and turned their backs on themselves after their master's family weakened.
Therefore, every time a tribesman makes such a proposal, it will be opposed by the majority of the tribesmen.
But after the fourth elder Liu Baichuan made this suggestion today, the situation facing the Liu family is different from the past.
Now the Liu family is a foundation-building family with three foundation-building monks. At this time, absorbing some casual cultivators into the family's military team has the ability to minimize the harm.
At this time, the second elder Liu Qiu Shui said: "It is not impossible to recruit casual cultivators to join the family war army, but the number should not be too many. I think we can only recruit ten people at most."
Fourth Elder Liu Baichuan shook his head and said: "Ten people are too few and cannot play their due role at all. I think there are at least thirty people."
The first elder Liu Qiusheng supported the second elder's statement and said: "There are too many casual cultivators recruited. First, the family's strength does not allow it. Recruiting casual cultivators requires a lot of spiritual stones. This is also a big deal for the Liu family.
Expenses. The second is that there are too many casual cultivators in the family and it is difficult to control them. Many casual cultivators are greedy for life and fear death, and it is impossible to truly fight for the family. If they are not used properly, it will lead to bad things. Therefore, not only must the details of the casual cultivators be strictly scrutinized, but the number of casual cultivators must also be controlled.
, I don’t think it’s appropriate to start with too many people, just ten people.”
Fourth Elder Liu Baichuan still insisted on his opinion and said: "Recruiting ten casual cultivators will not be effective at all, the number is too small!"
At this time, Liu Changxu said: "Great Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa, I think we can do this. Recruiting casual cultivators can be divided into two types. One is to recruit ten people to form a family fighting team. This part of the casual cultivators must be detailed
Review their situation to prevent evil cultivators from mixing into the family war army. Another option is to temporarily recruit casual cultivators to join the family war army when a war is about to break out, and then fire them immediately after the war."
After hearing Liu Changxu's method, everyone was very satisfied and unanimously agreed.
