Chapter 56 The dust has settled
Back in their small courtyard, their mother and sister were very happy to learn that Lin Tianming had returned to the family, and they returned to their small home one after another.
The family reunited for dinner, and only Lin Xingrong was left in Luoyunfang City. It was a big pity.
After dinner, mother and sister went to practice separately, leaving only Lin Shigong and Lin Tianming sitting in the yard chatting
'Grandpa, Grandpa Fifteen asked me to tell you something. , Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Presbyterian Church for a clan meeting. Let me go with you. ’
Lin Shigong on the side took a sip of spiritual tea and said calmly;
'My guess is that I should fulfill the three small foundation-building pills promised to you, and also discuss the development of the family in the next few years, and also discuss the family's development in the next few years. In terms of external relations, the family has been silent for a long time, and it is time to take a step forward. '
'My twelfth brother and I successfully built the foundation. The family's foundation-building monks are no less than those of the Jin family in Jinjiaoshan. Although there is a slight gap in cultivation, the Lin family is different from the past, so naturally it is impossible to tolerate everything anymore. . ’
“The Jin family in Jinjiaoshan!”
“Is the Jin family very strong?”
Lin Tianming suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.
‘Grandpa, what is the specific strength of the five major families in Luoyun Mountain Range? ’
Seeing that Lin Tianming was so interested, he started to introduce them. Lin Tianming would deal with those families sooner or later.
'According to investigation, among the five major families in the Luoyun Mountains, the Jin family in Jinjiao Mountain has four foundation-building monks. This is only on the surface, and it is unknown whether there are more secretly. In addition, the Jin family has also appeared. A tribesman with outstanding talents, named Jin Qishan, is twenty-six years old. He has dual spiritual roots and has reached the eighth level of Qi refining. In fact, he is extremely talented. "
"In addition, the Sun family in Feiying Mountain also has three foundation-building monks, and the Wu family in Jiuhua Mountain and the Luo family in Baiyun Mountain both have two foundation-building monks. ”
"Currently, the Jin family is the strongest. Except for the Sun family, none of the other three families can deal with it alone."
"And the Jin family and the Sun family have always been at odds. Between the Jin family and the Sun family, Under mutual constraints, our Lin family and the other two families stayed together to gain a foothold in the Luoyun Mountains, but the feeling of living in the cracks was really frustrating. "
said here, Lin Shigong shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face.
More than two hundred years ago, the Lin family was the strongest at that time, accounting for 40% of the profits of the market. In just over a hundred years, it completely declined. Although it was not the last of the five major families, it was not much stronger.
‘Grandpa, take your time, the family is getting stronger and stronger now, and it is only a matter of time before it returns to its former strength. ’
Lin Tianming's generation of tribesmen are extremely talented. There is a dual-spiritual-rooted tribesman, and there are even several three-spiritual-rooted monks. They are really full of talents.
After more than half an hour of chatting, Lin Tianming also had a general understanding of the other four major clans, including some key clan members, and kept them in mind.
The next morning, Lin Tianming followed his grandfather to the family elders' meeting.
In the main hall of the Presbyterian Church, more than a dozen clan members have arrived, and Lin Shihua is chatting with Lin Shixin and others.
Seeing Lin Shigong come in, everyone stood up quickly, and Lin Tianming greeted everyone politely.
Those who attended the Presbyterian meeting were all the backbone of the Lin family, basically all powerful figures. Except for those who couldn't get away, almost all of them were present.
After a while, two figures entered the hall together, and it was Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu who came last. Everyone stood up to greet him, and Lin Tianming also came forward to greet him.
Seeing that people were almost here, Lin Shihua said:
"My clansmen, since everyone is here, let's have a meeting. This time it is mainly for discussion. Let’s talk about the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills, the future development of the family, and the attitude towards other families.”
"Let's start with the distribution of the Small Foundation Establishment Pills. In addition to the three pills promised to be allocated to Tianming, there are still six pills left. Everyone can speak freely and brainstorm to come up with a fair and just result."
That's it. At this moment, Lin Shigang, the leader of Chuan Gong Hall, was the first to speak:
"There are six small foundation-building pills left. Choose from among the clan members. Whoever reaches Qi Refining Perfection first can exchange them with eight thousand good deeds to build the foundation as soon as possible and enhance the overall strength of the family. When facing the Jin family, they will be more confident It’s thicker too!”
As soon as these words came out, a member of the Xingzi clan retorted.
“There are only six Small Foundation Establishing Pills, which are still not many. In addition to refining them, the family has spent a lot of financial resources. Most of the funds accumulated for decades have been consumed, and the Small Foundation Establishing Pills have been consumed. Although dozens of plants of the main medicine Hidden Spirit Grass have been transplanted, the survival rate is not high, and they cannot be refined into elixirs within a hundred years.”
"So, in the next hundred years, it will be difficult for us to obtain spiritual objects that can assist in foundation building. Therefore, I suggest leaving two of them so that when the family is in crisis, we can retain a glimmer of hope and allow the family to turn around as soon as possible. ”
This statement received support from many members of the Xingzi generation of the family, and they all agreed.
The entire meeting hall suddenly became very lively and was basically divided into two camps, the Shizi generation clan members who had not yet established their foundation and the young Xing Zi generation clan members.
The clan members of the Shizi generation are already quite old. Apart from the four who succeeded in building the foundation and Lin Shiji who failed to build the foundation, there are only three of them. They are all at the ninth level of Qi refining. The youngest Lin Shixin has already He is over ninety years old, and is no more than two years younger than Lin Shigong. It can be said that he does not have much potential at all. With the help of the small Foundation Establishment Pill, the hope of Foundation Establishment is also slim.
Lin Tianming sat behind his grandfather and did not speak. Not only that, the Lin family's foundation-building monks did not speak, nor did they directly state their position.
For half an hour, the two seniors still couldn't reach an agreement.
Lin Shikang, who had never spoken, secretly sent a message to Lin Shilu and the others, asking for their opinions. After all, only the opinions of the tribesmen in the foundation-building period have weight, and they are the decision-makers on major events.
Lin Shilu thought for a long time, and from the standpoint of his family, he still agrees with the statement of the Xingzi generation clansmen. Even if the Shizi generation clan members take the Small Foundation Establishment Pill, the possibility of successfully building the Foundation is already very low. , it is better to leave opportunities to young people, which can maximize the strength of the family.
Not only Lin Shilu thinks this way, but almost all the other three foundation-building periods think this way, but Lin Shigong also successfully built the foundation at the age of nearly a hundred years old. With such an example, if the hopes of Lin Shixin and others are directly cut off, , a little bit unbearable, after all, no one wants to die.
After several members of the Foundation Establishment period discussed, Lin Shikang stood up and said:
"The six small foundation-building pills are divided into three parts, one for the Shizi generation, three for the Xingzi generation, and two for the Tianzi generation. Whichever clan member has the priority to enter the Dzogchen cultivation level can redeem it."
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively meeting hall fell silent, everyone was thinking.
Lin Shixin also looked at Lin Shikang and others gratefully at this time, and nodded as a thank you. After all, Lin Shikang and others still retained their hope of building a foundation, just to see if they could grasp it.
There are only so many resources, so it is natural to use effective resources on tribesmen with better talents.
After more than ten breaths of silence, seeing no one objecting, Lin Shilu took out three small foundation-building pills and handed them to Lin Tianming, and handed the remaining six to Lin Shixin for safekeeping. The distribution of the small foundation-building pills The dust has finally settled.
Lin Tianming had made three small foundation-building pills and put them in a storage bag. With these three pills, his father and mother would be more likely to build a foundation.
