Chapter 190 The Wen family’s dilemma (3500 words, please subscribe)
A few days later, on January 1 of the following year.
At noon on this day, Ling Jin, the steward of the General Affairs Hall, finished handling the affairs of the General Affairs Hall, then left the General Affairs Hall, walked to the gate of a courtyard halfway up Lingxiao Mountain, and knocked on the door.
After a while, a fair young man opened the door from inside the house.
Seeing Ling Ru arrive first, this person looked slightly puzzled. He raised his hands to say hello respectfully and asked.
"Eleventh great-grandfather, why are you here?"
This fair-skinned young man is none other than Ling Pengqiu, the twenty-seventh in the Peng generation.
"Pengqiu, do you still remember a few months ago when you and I were talking about going out to guard low-level spiritual veins?" Ling Jinxian said with a smile.
“Of course I remember!” Ling Pengqiu said.
“It’s the new year now. Your 20th grandfather, Ling Yunlang, has been stationed at the Rock Hill with a first-order low-grade spiritual vein for five years. His mission has been completed. You can now directly Go and take over," Ling Jin said first.
Ling Pengqiu looked happy when he heard this.
He has been doing this for a long time by going out to guard low-level spiritual veins and earn double tributes.
“Thank you for your trouble, eleventh great-grandfather.”
Ling Jin waved his hand first, patted the storage bag on his waist, and summoned many spiritual objects, a map, and a letter from it. On the ground, the words said.
“It’s just a small matter. I’ve already prepared the roster for the personnel movement in the General Affairs Hall, and you can set off on your journey.”
"As for the offerings you make when you go out to guard the rocky hill, it will be double what it is now. You will get ten spiritual stones and twenty kilograms of green jade spiritual rice every month. The additional yellow bud pill that the family will give you every month will also be Grow to two."
"This. The spiritual objects are for you to worship in the next six months. There are a total of sixty spiritual stones, one hundred and twenty kilograms of green jade spiritual rice, and twelve yellow bud pills."
Ling Pengqiu saw so many appearing in front of him. The spirit creature's expression gradually became more fiery and secretly said with joy.
“In one month’s salary alone, those two Huangya Dan are enough for me to practice for twenty days.” With the help of rice, I am fully able to purchase spiritual fruits that are better for my cultivation. With the accumulation of these spiritual objects, my cultivation speed will definitely be faster than it is now.”
"That map depicts the detailed locations of spiritual veins in the family territory."
"As for the letter, it was given to your twentieth grandfather, so be sure to keep it safe."
< br>Afterwards, Ling Ruxian warned Ling Pengqiu about the dangers of cultivating the immortal world before leaving.
Ling Pengqiu put all the things given by Ling Ruishui into the storage bag, and then returned to his courtyard to sort out the debris in the house.
After finishing these chores, Ling Pengqiu took out the map given by Ling Juxian just now from his storage bag, depicting the detailed locations of spiritual veins in the family territory, and looked at it carefully, looking for this time. You need to go to the stationed Rock Hill location.
After finding the location, he did not delay too much, blessed a light body technique, and left the Lingxiao Mountain.
Within a few days, Ling Pengqiu, with the blessing of light body technique, rushed thousands of miles and arrived outside the Rock Hill.
"Twentieth Grandfather, I am Pengqiu. This time, the family asked me to come and take your place here."
Ling Pengqiu wanted to avoid entering the rocky hill rashly and disturbing the layout inside. formation, he shouted loudly into the rocky mound.
In just a moment, an old man with a scholarly temperament rushed out of the rocky hill and came to Ling Pengqiu.
This old man is Ling Yunlang who is stationed in this rocky hill.
Ling Yunlang was a little confused when he saw Ling Pengqiu's arrival.
When he mobilized his spiritual consciousness and swept it over Ling Pengqiu's body, he realized that the aura released by Ling Pengqiu had reached the fourth level of Qi training.
“The fourth level of Qi training!” Ling Yunlang secretly said in shock.
There are not many members of the Ling clan, and they basically all know each other. Ling Yunlang has also met Ling Pengqiu a few times, and he probably knows Ling Pengqiu's age and qualifications.
It is extremely strange for someone so young and with the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots to have such a level of cultivation.
The family wanted to protect Ling Pengqiu, who had the qualifications for two spiritual roots, but claimed that Ling Pengqiu only had four spiritual roots.
However, when I think about the fact that Ling Pengyun, the eighth-ranked Peng character in the family, has now reached the ninth level of Qi training, I feel relieved.
"Pengqiu, I didn't expect that a kid like you would take over from me to guard this rocky hill." Ling Yunlang said with a smile.
"Twenty Grandfather." After Ling Pengqiu said hello as a junior, he took out the letter from Ling Ruxian from his storage bag and handed it to Ling Yunlang.
"This letter was given to you by the eleventh great-grandfather who was in charge of the family's general affairs hall."
Ling Yunlang saw this and reached out to take it. With doubts, he opened the letter and carefully Read the contents of the letter carefully.
The general content of the letter is that the family is short of manpower. Ling Rushui, who manages the Lingxiao Rice Hall opened by the family in Yunwu Market, has not long to live, and there is no one in the family to take over for the time being.
As long as Ling Yunlang, a tribesman who had just completed a garrison mission, was free, the family planned to send him to replace Ling Rushui and manage Lingxiao Rice Hall.
If he agrees to this, the Lingxiao Rice Hall can always be managed by him in the future.
As for the matter of letting Ling Rushui return to the mountains to retire, it was Ling Pengyun, a new member of the family who established the foundation, who proposed it, but there was no mention of it in the letter.
After reading the contents of the letter, Ling Yunlang looked overjoyed.
Although managing a store is very time-consuming, it will have an impact on the progress of cultivation.
But Ling Yunlang is now over seventy years old, and he no longer has much expectations for his cultivation.
Furthermore, for managing a store, in addition to double the offerings, there is also a commission.
This matter is a big deal for an old monk like Ling Yunlang who has no potential.
Although he is old and no longer needs spiritual stones, one of his grandsons had his spiritual roots detected a few years ago.
If he can earn more spiritual stones, his grandson's path will be smoother in the future.
Immediately, he agreed in his heart to the family's proposal to succeed Ling Rushui in managing the Lingxiao Rice Hall in Yunwu Market.
As for why the family allowed such a lucrative job to be given to him, the letter had explained the situation, and Ling Yunlang had no doubts.
After all, any clan member knows that the family is short of manpower. After returning to his thoughts, Ling Yunlang put away the letter and then greeted Ling Pengqiu.
"Pengqiu, follow me into the hills. I will introduce to you the spiritual plants planted in the three acres of first-class low-grade spiritual fields developed in this rocky hill."
Ling Pengqiu nodded and followed Ling Yunlang into the rocky hill.
After Ling Yunlang handed over everything in the rocky hill to Ling Pengqiu, and in accordance with the clan tradition, he made a welcoming banquet for the junior Ling Pengqiu as usual to wash away his dust, and then he left. This pile of rocks rushed towards the direction of the Yunwu Market opened by the Yunwu Wen Family.
A few days later, Ling Yunlang, who left Luanshi Gang, traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived at Yunwu Market.
As soon as he entered Yunwu Market, he rushed to Lingxiao Rice Hall, found Ling Ruishui, who was in charge of the store, and informed Ling Ruishui that he had been recalled to the family in advance for retirement. .
Ling Ruishui was very happy about this matter.
He should have ended his management of Lingxiao Midang eight years ago and returned to his family to take care of himself.
However, the family is short of manpower and has no spare manpower to take charge of this store.
He can only keep putting off the matter of returning to his family to take care of his old age.
Ling Rushui handed over the affairs of Ling Xiao Mi Tang to Ling Yunlang, and took Ling Yunlang to the shops opened by the four major families in Yunwu Market to meet the stewards.
After everything was taken care of, Ling Yunlang did not let Ling Ruishui, who had a short lifespan and had fallen to the fourth level of Qi training, leave directly. Instead, he asked him to wait for someone from the family to pick him up. Hui Mountain.
These arrangements were written in the letter Ling Pengqiu gave.
As for the reason, it is very simple. Ling Pengyun, who transferred Ling Rushui back to his family for retirement in advance, was worried. Ling Rushui, whose cultivation had begun to pass for many years, traveled thousands of miles to return home alone.
At the beginning, when Ling Pengyun was still stationed at Qingshi Mountain, he gave him a salary, and Ling Ruguo, who had begun to lose his ordinary cultivation with Ling Rushui, was attacked by a monster on his way back to his family, and his vitality was injured. Although he killed him, Monster, but the speed at which Ling Ruguo's spiritual energy evaporates has accelerated a bit.
A few years later, Ling Ruguo ran out of life and died.
A few days later, it was noon on January 10th.
Outside the Yunwu Market, a huge blue-haired roc suddenly fell from the sky to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a young man jumped off the back of the bird.
"Counting the time, I haven't been here for nearly eight years."
The young man looked at the market in front of him, with a hint of memory in his eyes.
This young man is none other than Ling Pengyun.
And the green-haired Peng bird is the Fengying Peng.
After being distracted for a moment, Ling Pengyun came back to his senses.
"You wait here, I will go out in a few hours. During this period, please do not wander around to avoid danger."
Ling Pengyun ordered Feng Yingpeng beside him, and then He walked toward the entrance of the market.
At this time, Wen Ruoli, a late-stage Qi-training monk of the Yunwu Wen Sect who had been stationed at the Yunwu Market for nearly ten years, was alarmed by the arrival of the late-stage Qi-training Feng Yingpeng and appeared at the entrance of the market.
When he saw the face of the person riding the late Qi-training Feng Ying Peng arriving, he frowned and thought about it carefully.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered the identity of the visitor.
"This young man should be Ling Pengyun, the Ling family's Pengzi generation who is extremely famous for his improvement of a new type of improved spiritual rice in recent years."
"It is said that this person has five spiritual roots. Qualifications, but with strong understanding and spiritual awareness, he is only more than twenty At the age of 18, he raised his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi training. I don’t know if it’s true?”
Curious about Ling Pengyun’s cultivation, Wen Ruoli mobilized his consciousness to scan Ling Pengyun’s body as he walked towards the market. However, no leakage of Ling Pengyun's aura was detected.
"How to hold your breath?" Wen Ruoli wondered secretly.
Before Ling Pengyun arrived this time, he gathered his aura as much as possible into his body.
Although there is still a little bit of breath leaking outside because he has not understood the method of holding breath, but those little bits of breath leaking out are not something that Wen Ruoli, who is in the late stage of Qi training, can detect.
This is also because he does not want to be too high-profile.
Now he is in the realm of the Yunwu Wen Sect, and he has just entered the Foundation Establishment. If the Foundation Architect of the Yunwu Wen Sect knows about this, he might take action against him.
After all, the Ling family and the Wen family are on the border. Once the Ling family becomes strong, how can the Wen family live comfortably in the future.
Just when Wen Ruoli was confused, Ling Pengyun had walked up to him and handed the Yunwu Market pass token to Wen Ruoli.
"This is my pass. I wonder if I can enter the market?"
"Of course." When Wen Ruoli heard the call, he came back to his senses, checked the authenticity of the pass, and opened the door. The token was handed back and a word was spoken.
After Ling Pengyun put away the pass token, he stepped into the Yunwu Market.
But Wen Ruoli looked at Ling Pengyun's figure, but he was a little lost in thought.
“The younger generation of the Ling family is really full of talents. In the past there was Ling Pengxing, who was a rare sword cultivator, and his cultivation qualifications were also transcendent. Later there was Ling Pengyun who improved the high-quality spiritual rice.”
"On the other hand, I, the Yunwu Wen Sect... have never been able to take on the challenge. Among the younger generation, only Nian Ling can do it." Dan, nine times out of ten, was given to Ling Pengxing, the most talented person in Pengzi’s generation. I don’t know if Ling Pengxing has successfully established the foundation now.”
“Once this person establishes the foundation. , the Ling family has three foundation builders.”
“After a few decades, the Ling family’s manpower shortage problem is solved and the spiritual veins in their own territory are digested. When the need for external development is reached, they will inevitably target it. I am the Yunwu Wen clan.”
“There is only one Foundation Builder in the clan. Once the Ling clan takes action in the future, I will be helpless.”
"I don’t know how the family will deal with such things in the future!"
