Chapter 8: Taking over the family mission
Lin Family House of Commons.
A five-story attic, built from a large number of boulders, is more than ten feet high. A large number of clan members accept family tasks here.
Lin Tianming is one of the many tribesmen.
In the lobby on the first floor of the Shuwu Hall, on a huge golden screen, large red characters and family tasks were neatly lined up in a row.
Every once in a while, a task or several tasks disappear at the same time. It is obvious that a member of the Lin family has taken over the family task.
Looking closely, there are hundreds of family tasks densely packed on the screen.
"Look for two Golden Yuan Grass plants. The period is six months. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 30 points of good deeds. The minimum level of Qi Refining is above the sixth level."
"Guard the family elixir garden for one term. Years, you will be rewarded with fifteen points of good deeds upon completion, and there is no cultivation requirement.”
“Follow the Law Enforcement Hall and clean up the monsters in the Luoyun Mountains. It will take one year. After completion, you will be rewarded with eighty points of good deeds. The minimum training is required. Above the seventh level of Qi.”
"Guard Qingfeng Town for a three-year term. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 60 merit points, with a minimum of Qi Refining Level 3 or above."
After watching for half a quarter of an hour, I finished reading all the family tasks.
Most of them can be picked up, but they are either too time-consuming or extremely risky.
Lin Tianming has been practicing for several years. Although he has successfully mastered the Five Elements spells and secret techniques, and has often competed with his peers in the family, he has never been in actual combat.
The task of cleaning up the monsters in the Luoyun Mountains not only allows you to practice your various spells and secrets, but also increases your practical experience and tempers yourself. In addition, you are very yearning for the outside world. .
It's a pity that the task of cleaning up the monsters requires a minimum of seven levels of Qi training. I only have five levels of Qi training, so I can't take on this task.
The task of guarding Qingfeng Town is not bad. Although three years is a long time, you can return to the family for half a month every year to visit relatives and replenish your training resources.
Making up his mind, Lin Tianming planned to take over the task of guarding Qingfeng Town.
After regaining his composure, he walked to the front desk of the General Affairs Hall, exchanged a few words with the deacon of the General Affairs Hall, and then successfully took over the task of guarding Qingfeng Town.
For tasks such as guarding clan land or guarding assets, you can receive task rewards in advance. After all, it takes a long time and is not very dangerous. You can use task rewards to exchange for resources and bring them to the guarding location to continue practicing.
After receiving the mission reward in advance, he planned to exchange for some training resources and bring them to Qingfeng Town to continue alchemy training.
One year is neither long nor short. I only have one Lingyuan Pill, forty spirit stones, ten Bigu Pill materials and five Lingyuan Pill materials left, which may not be enough to last for a year. .
After purchasing the alchemy furnace and alchemy materials before, there are still ten points of good deeds left, plus the task reward of 60 points of good deeds, a total of seventy points of good deeds. You can buy some more alchemy materials and try to refine the Lingyuan Dan. OK.
Lin Tianming thought to himself and soon arrived at the Shanggong Hall.
Find the Tenth Grandpa Lin Shixin and successfully exchanged ten ingredients for the Lingyuan Pill elixir, spending a total of 80 points of good deeds.
Although there will be no major danger in guarding Qingfeng Town this time, it is still necessary to prepare some means to deal with the enemy. I also replaced two first-level high-grade attack talismans, with a total of thirty points of good merit, and a total consumption of 110 points of good merit.
After spending all the good deeds, the family token is cleared, and 40 spiritual stones need to be replenished. There are exactly 40 spiritual stones left. After all are replenished, the elixir and talismans are taken away from the good merit hall. .
Lin Tianming’s current assets include ten Bigu Pill materials and fifteen Lingyuan Pill materials.
In addition, there are two first-level high-grade attack talismans and a Lingyuan Pill. There are neither spirit stones nor good merit points. Apart from these cultivation resources, it can be said that it is completely impoverished.
The mission stipulates that we should rush to Qingfeng Town within ten days to replace the Lin family members who were previously guarding. It is still early, and we can also practice the Five Elements spells and secret techniques to improve our proficiency and strengthen our own strength.
He took out his Green Bamboo Sword, jumped up, and flew towards a valley on the hillside of Qingzhu Mountain.
Half an hour passed.
Lin Tianming appeared in a valley. The valley was densely covered with jungles and trees as big as ten feet were all over the mountain. Wild beasts often appeared in the valley. A three-foot-wide river ran through the valley.
This canyon is a natural dojo Lin Tianming found when he was practicing magic. It is rarely visited by people.
When he first started practicing, he liked to practice the Five Elements spells and secret techniques here. He could practice with wild beasts, and after the practice, he could also eat barbecue. He spent half of his time here during practice.
Lin Tianming sat on a stone several feet in size and skillfully moved the Huoyuan Jue technique throughout the entire sky.
Adjust the state and perform a secret technique that comes with the Qigong method.
"Fire Origin Slash!"
I saw a huge sword made of thousands of blazing fires hanging above Lin Tianming's head. The flowers, plants and trees within a few feet of it withered instantly. Apparently dried to death by the heat wave.
Lin Tianming shouted loudly:
"Go!"
In an instant, a big sword composed of thousands of flames appeared a hundred feet away and struck a big tree from high in the sky.
I saw that the tree as thick as a bucket was split into two halves in an instant. The place where it was cut was scorched black, and the water evaporated instantly, turning into a rotten tree.
"Hiss..."
Despite using it many times, Lin Tianming was still impressed by the powerful power.
However, this technique consumes too much spiritual power, and all the spiritual power can only be used a few times before the spiritual power is exhausted. It is not easy to use it casually during the fight, and can only be used as a trump card.
In the next few days, after using Fire Element Slash more than ten times, the spiritual power was exhausted every time.
Lin Tianming has been practicing hard for so long that he can shoot at half a breath, so he can take advantage of the enemy.
The Five Elements spells can also be cast instantly, which greatly increases the speed. During this period, many beasts became victims, being burned by fire swords inexplicably, or tied up by rattans made of spiritual power. Lin Tianming has been feasting on his appetite these past few days, including black bear paws, white tiger meat, and even goshawks, a bird as big as three feet tall.
Halfway through the ten days, I still have to say goodbye to my grandfather and mother before leaving.
Although I followed my father to Luoyunfang City twice before, I was restricted everywhere and never left my father's sight.
Leaving the clan alone for the first time, Lin Tianming also began to look forward to the outside world.
Withdrawing his thoughts, taking some of the uneaten meat with him, Lin Tianming left with his sword.
In the small courtyard of Lin Tianming’s house.
Grandpa Lin Shigong manages the alchemy hall. There are too few alchemists in the clan and the alchemy task is heavy. When he learned that Lin Tianming had taken over the task of guarding Qingfeng Town, he rarely returned to this small family to reunite.
It just so happened that his father Lin Xingrong returned to the family from Luoyunfang City. After a few days of rest, he was about to set off again and return to Luoyunfang City for duty.
Three generations, grandfather and grandson, were sitting under the maple tree in the yard, drinking tea. Beside them, the mother and sister were cleaning the animal meat and preparing dinner.
Grandpa Lin Shigong had a sad face at this time and was a little worried.
Lin Tianming has been taken by him since he was a child. With his spiritual talent and alchemy talent that far exceeds his own, he really doesn't want him to risk leaving the clan alone.
Although Qingfeng Town is not far from Qingzhu Mountain, a distance of more than 600 miles, it can be reached in two days by flying with a sword, so it is not that far.
In addition, Qingfeng Town is located in the inland area. Although there are many monsters in the Luoyun Mountains, it is difficult to pass through the Lin family land and attack the mortal towns located behind.
However, the opponents of the human race are not only monsters. Among the humans, it is not uncommon to kill people and seize treasures. There are many people who go to the Luoyun Mountains or the hinterland of the monster clan to hunt for treasures and gain experience.
If you encounter an evil cultivator, it will be a disaster, and your grandson will be young and have no survival experience. It is really difficult to be absolutely reassured.
Lin Shigong looked worried and said solemnly:
"Tianming, I have been refining elixirs for the family for more than sixty years. Most of the family's elixirs are from my hands."
"I can talk to my twelfth brother and give you another family mission. I think you will be able to do it." Sell me some thin noodles.”
Hearing Lin Shigong’s words, Lin Xingrong was shocked. He blushed and said:
"Dad..."
"If everyone is like you, how can the patriarch manage the family? Although you have worked hard and made great achievements, you can't use power for personal gain. Our third son can't That’s what catches people’s tongue.”
After hearing this, Lin Tianming said righteously;
"Grandpa, the flowers in the greenhouse don't grow big, you can't stand behind me forever."
"The world of immortality There are as many strong men as there are, and there are more than a thousand large families. The Lin family is just one of many small families. How can one become a strong man without experiencing the true fire experience? "
Lin Tianming saw that his grandfather's expression seemed to soften. Continue to speak and take the opportunity to persuade.
“Qingfeng Town is not very far from the family’s residence, and it is inland. As long as I don’t take the initiative to cause trouble, there is no danger.”
"For this experience, I exchanged two first-level high-grade attack talismans. I can protect myself. I will take good care of myself. Don't worry!"
After saying this, Lin Tianming looked at it with wide eyes. Lin Shigong.
Hearing these words, Lin Shigong also felt that they were reasonable.
It is indeed difficult to be successful if you are too protective. Thinking of this, his complexion suddenly improved a lot.
“Take these two first-level top-grade defense talismans, two bottles of Lingyuan Pill, three Yuan-Returning Pills, one Poison-Reducing Pill, and twenty Lingyuan Pill medicinal materials!”
"In addition to this Yuanhuo stove, I repeatedly asked my fifteenth brother for help to collect part of the earth fire in this bottle. It will be enough to use it for three to five years!"
Lin Shigong took out one after another. There are many things that I didn’t forget to give detailed instructions.
“Remember, practice and alchemy must not be neglected. When the year is up, you must come back for a few days so that I can test your alchemy skills.”
“Yes, follow grandpa’s decree! "
Lin Tianming responded firmly and sighed while being moved.
Fortunately, my grandfather is an alchemist and has enough elixirs. I am even more determined to practice hard and become an alchemist, so that I can win for my grandfather and the family.
After taking over his grandfather's belongings and regaining his composure, Lin Tianming also asked Lin Shigong to get up.
"You should always pay attention to your health and don't overwork yourself..."
Lin Xingrong manages his family's business in Luoyunfang City. He is well-informed, has been to a lot of places, and is very friendly to people. He is very knowledgeable and taught Lin Tianming his experience one by one.
He did not give any resources, but gave Lin Tianming a map of Qingzhou and Jizhou, and asked:
"Remember to be neither arrogant nor arrogant, neither humble nor arrogant, think twice before you act!"
"Thank you father..."
Afterwards, the three of them chatted for half a quarter of an hour, and dinner was served. Done.
It was a rare reunion for the family. Grandpa also took out the spiritual wine that he had collected for many years. The family had a reunion dinner happily, which was regarded as practicing for Lin Tianming.
