After testing the spiritual roots, the first elder asked the second elder Chen Yuwei to take the children with spiritual roots to a pavilion behind Biyun Peak.
The pavilion behind Biyun Peak is called Guanyue Pavilion.
As for why it is called this name?
This is because standing in this pavilion, you can see a lake called Guanyue Lake on Biling Peak, one of the four major side peaks of the family. It is also very peaceful to watch the moon here at night.
There are some spiritual fish raised in Guanyue Lake. These fish can also be regarded as a kind of monster. The most common ones are generally around the first level, and there are also some mutated second-level fish. There have even been some top-level second-level monster fish.
These demon fish are firstly used for sale, and the proceeds from the sales can also bring a lot of spiritual stone income to the Chen family.
Secondly, it is for the monks in the family to eat. The fish in it can reach the second level at most. Even the foundation-building monks can increase some mana by eating it!
Through the pavilion, you can see the beautiful scenery of Guanyue Lake, and you can also see the sunrise over the sea of clouds in the morning. The spiritual energy here is also very abundant in the morning, so practicing here can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.
As for those children without spiritual roots, the great elder Chen Yuhong sent someone to give them some money and sent them back to their original homes in the mortal world.
Even the direct descendants of immortal cultivators without spiritual roots will be sent to the mortal world to work hard to create humans for the Chen family, to give birth to a descendant with spiritual roots, and then spend their short and wealthy life.
.
This is a family rule, mortals cannot mix with cultivators.
Even the concubine favored by a monk can only be placed in the mortal world and cannot live on Jiuhua Mountain.
After giving the instructions, the chief elder, the head of the family, and the other elders greeted the guests. The patriarch of one of the small families stood up and handed over:
"Brother Yu Hong, today I have met the younger generations of your family. As expected, they are all the best among men. The Chen family has a successor. If my family has a promising child, I will die in peace."
People around him also nodded and said "yes".
As for the person who spoke, he is also a Qi Perfection monk from a well-known Qi training family in Tianhuang County. In addition to him, the family also has two ninth-level Qi training monks who are closely related to the Chen family. They are considered to be members of the Chen family.
Attached to the family.
Here, the great elder Chen Yuhong touched his beard and said with narrowed eyes:
"Where can I find it? Brother Li is overly praised."
But the expression on his face was extremely happy.
After speaking, he looked at the young man next to the patriarch of the small family and said:
"Brother Li, I think the children of your family are not bad at all. They have reached the sixth level of Qi training at a young age. I wonder which young master of your family is this?"
The patriarch of this small family hurriedly said:
"No way, you're flattering me. He is my grandson Li Yue. He is far inferior to the grandson of your family's children."
Then he asked his grandson Li Yue to stand up and pay homage. Li Yue is twenty-six this year. His qualifications are neither good nor bad. He has three spiritual roots. He has reached the sixth level of Qi training. If he can reach the eighth level,
If you reach the ninth level of Qi training before the age of ten, you may not have the possibility of building a foundation, but the chance is too small.
This couldn't help but remind the great elder of himself back then. Unfortunately, the foundation building failed and there was no way to extend his lifespan. He could only try his best to contribute to the family. Then he sighed and didn't think about it anymore.
While he was thinking, a voice interrupted the great elder's thinking.
"The descendants of the Chen family are quite good, but I don't know how many of them will be able to successfully build the foundation in the future."
The great elder turned around and saw that the person speaking was an old man wearing brown clothes, with white hair and a childish face. This man was the great elder of the Wang family, one of the four major families in Tianhuang County - Wang Yande.
This person is also at the Great Perfection level of Qi Lian, and is also a second-level middle-grade weapon refiner. However, he is now a hundred years old, older than the Great Elder. I am afraid that there is no possibility of building a foundation in this life.
The Wang Family of Tianhuang Mountain is also the only family among the four major families in Tianhuang County that currently has the ancestor of the Zifu Realm in charge.
The Wang family has been inherited for more than 1,500 years, and its ancestor is now the elder of the Zifu of the Yunwu Sect. Therefore, the Wang family is also the head of the four major families. The Tianhuang Mountain where they live also has a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual vein, but it is better than the others.
The three major families are much better.
At this time, the great elder also spoke: "As for foundation building, I don't know how many there are, but the spiritual roots are much better than those of the younger generations in Brother Yande's family. The success rate of this foundation building is probably better than that of Brother Wang."
The ones at home are much taller."
Chen Yuhong, the eldest elder of the Chen family, touched his beard and looked at the eldest elder of the Wang family with a smile on his face, quite a bit arrogant.
The two families are one of the four major families in Tianhuang County, so their relationship is naturally not very harmonious. After all, wherever there are people there are fights.
In recent years, the Chen family has been deteriorating, while the Wang family has been on the rise. If the Chen family had not had some trump cards, coupled with the constraints of the other two major families, the Chen family would have been swallowed up by the Wang family long ago.
Naturally, Chen Yuhong would not have a good attitude towards this elder of the Wang family.
In addition, the great elder also attended the Wang family's spirit testing conference a few days ago. There were only 3 people with three spiritual roots. There were a few more people with four spiritual roots than the Chen family, with 7 people and 7 people with five spiritual roots.
9 people, a total of 19 people have spiritual roots this time.
The number seems quite large, but don't forget that the Wang family has four towns, and the number of mortals is as much as 250,000. The number of monks is also much larger than that of the Chen family, with more than 300 people.
The Chen family only has two towns, and the number of mortals in the family is only about 150,000. The number of monks has only just reached 200. Now the spiritual detection situation is far better than that of the Wang family.
It would be strange if the eldest elder of the Wang family is not jealous.
Fortunately, there is an ancestor of Zifu in his family, otherwise he would probably get sick from anger.
Only then did Chen Yuhong have the confidence to confront the eldest elder of the Wang family. After all, he was telling the truth!
The eldest elder of the Wang family glared angrily and was about to retaliate when two more old men came next to him and stopped the conversation between the eldest elder of the Chen family and the eldest elder of the Li family.
I saw an old man wearing yellow clothes, wearing a turban on his head, squinting his eyelids, and tying his hair with a wooden hairpin, and said:
"Both of you are the stewards of the family, so don't hurt the harmony of our four major families over trivial matters."
The person who spoke was Zhao Yufeng, the eldest elder of the Zhao family in Yuncang Mountain, one of the four major families. This person's cultivation level was worse than that of the eldest elders of the Chen family and the eldest elder of the Wang family, but his mind was quick, and he was involved in the Zhao family's business.
First in command.
The Zhao family is also a large family that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and there have been strong people in the Purple Mansion Realm in the family. Although there are no strong people in the fourth level of the Purple Mansion Realm in the family, there are seven foundation-building experts.
One of them is a strong man with eight levels of foundation building.
The Zhao family is weaker than the Wang family, but compared with the Chen family, it is stronger. The Zhao family now has three towns, and the number of mortals is about 200,000. The number of monks is about the same as that of the Chen family.
After the eldest elder of the Zhao family finished speaking, the old man with a round figure and a chubby face wearing a green suit next to him quickly squinted his eyes and echoed: "What Brother Zhao said is, don't hurt the harmony of the four major families."
He is Pan Yingjun, the second elder of the Pan family in Yuquan Mountain, one of the four major families. This name does not match his appearance.
Don't underestimate him, although he is fat, his strength is not bad, and he has the ninth level of Qi training.
Although he is not as good as the elders of Chen Wang and Zhao San family, he is still a master.
The reason why he appeared here today was a complete accident. The elder of his family was already running out of time to live. Recently, he almost went crazy while practicing martial arts and injured his tendons. If he was the only one who could stand up, he would probably not have much time left.
.
By the way, the Pan family has been based in Tianhuang County for more than 1,200 years. Among the four major families, the longest inheritance is only second to the Wang family. However, after so many years, the Pan family is obviously a Purple Mansion realm
It has never appeared before, and I don’t know how it got a foothold in one of the four major families. It’s just that the other three major families have never underestimated it.
Once upon a time, a strong man from the Purple Mansion Realm and several monks from the Foundation Establishment Realm wanted to attack the Pan family and seize the Pan family's fourth-level spiritual veins. However, in the end, they never returned and no bones were left.
It can be seen from this that the Pan family is not just famous.
It's just that although the Pan family defeated the powerful man in the Purple Mansion Realm, killed him and his followers, and saved the family's ancestral land, the price was also very heavy.
The fourth-level spiritual veins fell to the third level. After more than two hundred years of repairs, it has only recovered half a step to the level of the fourth level. It will take at least more than fifty years to fully recover.
Of the seven foundation-building monks back then, six were killed in the battle. In the end, only one mid-stage foundation-building monk was seriously injured, and several fourth-level spiritual talismans in the clan were consumed. It was a heavy loss!
Afterwards, there was a rising Foundation Establishment family, and they took the opportunity to unite with several Foundation Establishment casual cultivators in an attempt to take advantage. The final result was that they never came back.
Later, the truth came out, and it turned out that the Pan family still had a late-stage foundation-building white jade turtle sitting in charge.
Relying on the clan protection formation and this white jade turtle, the Pan family has firmly occupied a place in Tianhuang County.
Only then did everyone realize that the family that had been passed down for many years was really not easy to mess with.
Later, the monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building went through two wars and stayed in the family for about ten years. When he saw that a new foundation building monk appeared in the family, he passed away.
After more than two hundred years of recuperation, the Pan family has now regained some of its original energy. There are more than 200 monks in the family, four of whom are in the foundation building stage. The one with the highest level of cultivation is a foundation building five who is over 240 years old.
The dual spiritual root monks at the first level have powerful attack power and can fight against the ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks without falling behind.
As for the mortals, due to the Pan family's emphasis on population, the Pan family now has 5 towns with a population of nearly 300,000. It ranks first among the four major families in terms of the number of mortals.
After the fat old man in green clothes finished speaking, the first elder of the Chen family and the first elder of the Wang family also stopped. However, the four of them had a good conversation before giving up.
After the exchange, the elder picked up the wine glass on the table and said: "Welcome to my Jiuhua Mountain to participate in my Chen family's spirit detection conference. I, Chen, feel very honored!
There is no need to be restrained, everyone can eat and drink freely. If there is any inconvenience in the reception, please forgive me. It is a courtesy for Mr. Chen to do it here first." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
The people around said quickly:
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Looking at the banquets on this table, they are all expensive spiritual objects. The meat on the table of the Qi-training period family is all first- and second-level monster meat, while the four major families in Tianhuang County and other counties in the Wu Kingdom
On the tables of several big families in the house, there was some third-level monster meat. Although it was small, it was a real foundation-building monster.
The meat of first- and second-level monsters can equal a month of hard training for a monk in the middle stage of Qi training. As for the meat of third-level monsters, it can equal ten days of practice for a monk at the perfect level of Qi training.
Although the spiritual wine on the table is not high-grade, it is also extraordinary. It is made from the water of Guanyue Lake and the spiritual dew from the morning elixir. It can also withstand the hard work of Qi Practitioners for several days.
The spiritual rice I'm looking at is made from second-order spiritual rice fragrant rice. One kilogram costs more than ten spiritual stones, which is dozens of times more expensive than first-order spiritual rice. After this meal, I'm afraid
It will cost five to six hundred spirit stones.
In fact, the Chen family does not produce much second-level fragrant rice, and within the clan, only junior monks who are in the late stage of Qi training or have excellent talents can supply it every month.
The reason why we are so bold today is, firstly, to intimidate the small families in Tianhuang County, to prove that the Chen family has not declined, and to warn everyone; secondly, because the Chen family knows that today's spirit testing results will not be bad.
After all, there are 12 people with spiritual roots who have tested with the spirit stone. Plus the descendants of the monks from Biyun Peak, it is a relatively good result no matter what.
Therefore, everyone decided to hold such a spiritual testing conference after discussion to show the strength of the Chen family to the monks in Tianhuang County and prove that the Chen family has a successor.
After all, my ancestor's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and there are many ambitious families in Tianhuang County waiting to rise to the top.
Even the other three families may be planning to find an opportunity to pounce on the Chen family and eat them up...
Except for the other three major families and some major families in other counties who were not surprised, the other monks were actually surprised.
Chen Yuhong took in the expressions of the monks and was obviously quite satisfied with the results of this spiritual testing conference.
