After Chen Zhiyu had a small gathering with his family, he stayed with Chen's father, Chen's mother, and his two younger brothers and sisters for a few days.
After that, he met his friends Chen Zhihu and Chen Zhizhi and spent a while together.
Chen Zhihu also broke through the fifth level of Qi training at the age of fifteen, and now has a cultivation level in the middle of the fifth level of Qi training.
As for Chen Zhizhi, a girl who doesn't like to practice very much, she also has a cultivation level in the late fifth level of Qi training, but she has just broken through. It will take at least a year to break through to the sixth level of Qi training.
However, Chen Zhiyu heard from them that among their group, Chen Zhibao has made the fastest progress, and even faintly left Chen Zhizhi behind, and is now in seclusion to break through the sixth level of Qi training.
This made Chen Zhiyu a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it didn't matter. Although the thirteenth brother Chen Zhibao had a fourth spiritual root, fortunately the purity of the spiritual root was not low. With serious cultivation, it would be nothing to surpass this girl Chen Zhizhi.
So strange.
Now Chen Zhiyu is on his way to the family business hall.
During the dinner that day, Chen Zhiyu learned two pieces of news.
One is that after Chen Yukun learned that Chen Zhiyu planned to go out to practice for a period of time, he recommended a family task to him, so at this moment Chen Zhiyu rushed to the family affairs hall.
As for the other news, it is related to Chen Zhiyu's second brother.
Chen Zhifang is already thirty years old, and his spiritual roots are not good. There is no possibility of breaking through the foundation building. He has already reached the age of marriage.
In his early years, Chen Zhifang still didn't believe in fate and believed that hard work might not lead to a breakthrough, but the reality is cruel.
Even though he was lucky enough to break through the fourth level of Qi training at the age of twenty-one, nine years have passed and his cultivation has not improved at all.
Now, he has accepted his fate, listened to the advice of Chen's father and Chen's mother, and is ready to marry and have children, placing his hope on the next generation.
This is also the unfortunate thing about the children of the family. If the spiritual root qualifications are not good and the cultivation is slow, they can only serve as the family's fertility tool and marriage partner. They put their hope in nurturing the next generation and give birth to a child with spiritual roots.
Children and strive to create humans.
Chen Zhiyu's eldest brother got married when he was twelve years old. Under the arrangement of his parents and family, he began to marry and have children.
Now in his forties, he has a lot of grandchildren, but he has not yet given birth to a child with spiritual roots.
Although Chen Zhifang's spiritual roots are not good, both his parents are skilled and have a high status in the family. He also has a grandfather who has successfully built a foundation, so his marriage is also a big deal.
But all this has nothing to do with Chen Zhiyu. Although Chen Zhifang is his second brother, he is just a stranger whom he has only met a few times now, and does not have much feelings. Chen Zhiyu does not have to worry about anything, just wait until the time comes.
Just give me a nice gift.
Chen Zhiyu walked along the stone steps and along the forest path. When he passed by the Moon Viewing Pavilion, he saw a group of children practicing with the elder.
In the past nine years, two batches of twelve people with spiritual roots have appeared in the Zigzag generation of the Chen family, and two of them have three spiritual roots. Now the number of people in the Zigzag generation has reached 48.
Even those with spiritual roots showed up in two groups, but there were not many of them, only a pitiful eight people, and not even one with three spiritual roots appeared.
Chen Zhiyu arrived at the family's business hall, and when he walked into the main hall, he met an acquaintance.
"Third brother, where are you going?"
Chen Zhiyu stopped and asked a man wearing a black robe with a resolute face.
This person is none other than Chen Zhiyu’s third brother, Chen Zhihua.
Three years ago, Chen Zhihua broke through the eighth level of Qi training, and he came to ask Chen Shifeng to refine some pills to assist his practice. However, Chen Zhiyu happened to be there, and he had met this third brother once.
"I accepted a mission to kill a monster at the Family Affairs Hall, but now I have to go to the city to buy some elixirs and talismans to prepare."
"Hey, Zhiyu, you have broken through the sixth level of Qi training!"
Chen Zhihua looked at Chen Zhiyu carefully, and then said with some surprise.
"It was just a lucky breakthrough a few days ago. Unlike Third Brother, you are now a monk in the late stage of Qi training. I'm afraid you're not far away from foundation building!"
Chen Zhiyu also said politely.
"Being a brother is far from building a foundation, so I might as well not mention it!"
Chen Zhihua waved his hand and said.
In fact, Chen Zhihua is only thirty-eight years old now, and is still far from eighty. There is still great hope for building a foundation.
It’s just that he also knew the situation of his family. Chen Zhiyao and Chen Zhiyu were chasing after him, and there were uncles and elders from several generations in front of him. He came from the mortal world, and his father’s ancestors had no accumulation of contribution points. This
It was his turn to get the Foundation Establishment Pill.
If you are lucky, you can find a few auxiliary spiritual objects to try to build a foundation. If you are unlucky, you may never need to break through the foundation building in this life.
After a while, Chen Zhihua opened his mouth and asked:
"Thirty-sixth brother, why are you here at this thing hall? You must also be receiving a family mission!"
This is not Chen Zhihua's unnecessary question, but it is a family rule that those under the age of sixteen and the family's disciples who are talented in cultivation do not need to do tasks at all.
Only family members who are over 16 years old or clan members who cannot break through the fourth level of Qi training at the age of 12 need to complete family tasks regularly and quantitatively every month to obtain family contribution points and cultivation resources.
Obviously Chen Zhiyu is not in this group, so Chen Zhihua is a little surprised by this.
"A few days ago, my grandpa told me that there was a suitable task, and he asked me to take it, go out and practice, and earn enough to contribute."
When Chen Zhihua heard that Chen Yukun asked Chen Zhiyu to come over, he sighed in his heart: It is good to have a good grandpa!
The two talked for a while and agreed to hunt monsters together next time before they separated.
Chen Zhiyu came to the main hall, and the person guarding this place was Chen Yuxiang, the fifteenth uncle of the Yu generation. He was at the ninth level of Qi training. As long as he spent some time polishing his magic power, he could advance to the ninth level of perfection.
Although the ninth level of Qi training and the perfection of the ninth level of Qi training both belong to the Qi training period, they are quite different.
In the Chen family, you can only become an elder if you become a nine-level perfect qi cultivator, and there are only two ways to advance to the ninth level.
One is like the great elder Chen Yuhong who failed to build the foundation, survived by luck, and advanced to the ninth level of Qi training. The second is to polish the mana so that there is a trace of liquefaction in the mana. This can also be advanced to the ninth level.
It's just that both of these methods are very time-consuming. Even if you advance to the next level, you can only compete with monks in the early stages of foundation building, but there is no benefit to your lifespan.
Generally, people who are expected to build a foundation will not waste time polishing their mana, because they will choose to take a foundation-building pill or a foundation-building spiritual object to build a foundation after breaking through the ninth level and settling for a period of time.
However, the fifteenth uncle is over ninety years old, and reaching the ninth level of perfection is already the limit. He has no chance to build a foundation in this life, so he is finally able to practice this method.
The fifteenth uncle is here to serve as a deacon. Firstly, there are few monks in the Chen family and there is a lack of manpower. Secondly, he is here to accumulate some contribution points for future generations and use his remaining energy.
When Chen Yuxiang saw someone coming here, he opened his slightly cloudy eyes, glanced at Chen Zhiyu, and said:
"What mission do you want to take on?"
"Farming, pulling weeds, and taking care of elixirs are all very suitable for you, I think!"
"Fifteenth uncle, this junior wants to take over the task of Chenjia Town in Guang'an County!"
As soon as Chen Zhiyu spoke, Chen Yuxiang's hands paused slightly, and he paused and said:
"Then be careful and remember to prepare a talisman to restrain ghosts!"
"The mission has been completed. I have fifty contribution points or fifty spiritual stones. The time limit is one month!"
"If you accept it, come over here and sign a soul contract!"
Chen Zhiyu frowned slightly when he heard what his fifteenth uncle said, and then asked:
"Isn't the family's contribution point 1:2?"
"You kid, you don't think I stole your spiritual stone, do you?"
As he spoke, he sneered, and then glanced at Chen Zhiyu.
"Don't dare!" "Don't dare!"
"My grandson is just confused!"
Chen Zhiyu said respectfully.
"Forget it, I see how you look, it's my first time here, I'll tell you a little bit about it!"
