Chapter 149 Elders Meeting
That afternoon, when Liu Changxu was refining a first-order medium-grade magic weapon short sword, his mother Lin Yulian walked in.
Liu Changxu knew that his mother must have something important, otherwise she would not have come in at this time.
Sure enough, her mother Lin Yulian said: "Xu'er, your fourth uncle failed to build the foundation. Your father and he are on their way home."
Hearing what his mother said, Liu Changxu felt sad in his heart. It's not a taste. Although the relationship between his father and Sixth Elder Liu Shisheng is not very good. Since the two are close in age and have incompatible tempers, they have not had a good relationship since childhood. But speaking from the bottom of his heart, Liu Changxu still hopes that he can build the foundation. After all, the upcoming The human-monster war put too much pressure on the Liu family.
In fact, even with the help of foundation-building pills, monks have a high failure rate in foundation-building. When her mother Lin Yulian built the foundation, most of the clan members, including Liu Changxu, were not optimistic about it. They just didn't expect that Lin Yulian succeeded in building the foundation. It was really bad luck. good.
Liu Changxu thought for a moment and said, "When will mother's foundation building ceremony be held?"
Mother Lin Yulian said, "Let's wait until your father comes back!"
"Okay!" Liu Changxu replied helplessly:
Although the date for the foundation ceremony cannot be determined, there is a lot of preparation work that needs to be done. After the mother and son discussed it, their mother Lin Yulian passed away. go.
Two days later, his father Liu Shihao and Sixth Elder Liu Shisheng returned to Peach Blossom Mountain. Since the foundation building was not successful, Liu Shisheng returned home and stayed behind closed doors.
Liu Shihao organized a family elders meeting in the Peach Blossom Hall the next morning to discuss the foundation ceremony of his wife Lin Yulian and how to deal with the human-monster war.
After the family elders sat down one after another, Liu Changxu found that the strength of the family's top leaders had been further enhanced. Although the sixth elder Liu Shisheng failed to build the foundation, it did not affect the strength of the Liu family in Taohuashan.
The patriarch Liu Baishan loudly introduced the current strength of the family to the family elders sitting here: "Everyone! Our Liu family now has three monks in the early stage of foundation building, seven monks in the Qi Refining Dzogchen Stage, and seven monks in the later stage of Qi Refining. There are nine monks, thirty-five monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, and sixty-five monks in the early stage of Qi refining. The overall strength of the family's monks is different from what it used to be.
Driven by the strong strength of the family, they have expanded their land by eight hundred. Here, the family territory exceeds a thousand miles, and the spiritual items produced in the family territory have also been greatly improved. In a word, my Liu family has finally become stronger.
What we have to do now is to prepare for Elder Lin's foundation-building celebration and strive for greater benefits for the family. If you have any good suggestions, please tell me! "
The great elder Liu Qiusheng tied up his long white beard and said: "Although the strength of my Liu family is not what it used to be, in the upcoming human-monster war, our strength is still not good enough! "These words restored calm to everyone who was in a state of excitement. Even if the Liu family were several times stronger, it would still not be enough in the human-monster war!
At this time, the fourth elder Liu Baichuan said: " When the family monks cannot improve their strength in a short period of time, I suggest starting to recruit casual cultivators to join the family's clan army. "
Hearing what the fourth elder said, the family elders sitting there immediately started talking. The suggestion of the fourth elder was not surprising.
It is not that the Liu family has not thought of this method in the past, but because the family itself is weak, it does not have the strength to attract powerful casual cultivators to join the Liu family. On the other hand, even if powerful casual cultivators join, the Liu family does not dare to Take it!
There are many examples of casual cultivators who joined the family and turned their backs on themselves after the strength of the master family weakened.
Therefore, every time a tribesman makes such a proposal, it will be opposed by the majority of the tribesmen.
But after the fourth elder Liu Baichuan made this suggestion today, the situation facing the Liu family is different from the past.
Now the Liu family is a foundation-building family with three foundation-building monks. At this time, absorbing some casual cultivators into the family's military force has the ability to minimize the harm.
At this time, the second elder Liu Qiushui said: "It is not impossible to recruit casual cultivators to join the family's war army, but the number should not be too many. I think we can only recruit ten people at most."
The fourth elder Liu Baichuan shook his head. Said: "Ten people are too few and cannot play their due role at all. I think there are at least thirty people."
The great elder Liu Qiusheng supported the second elder's statement and said: "There are too many casual cultivators recruited. First, the family's strength does not allow it. Recruiting casual cultivators requires a lot of spiritual stones, which is also a big expense for the Liu family. Second, there are too many casual cultivators in the family and it is difficult to control them. , it is impossible to truly fight for the family, and if used incorrectly, it will lead to bad things. Therefore, not only must the details of the casual cultivators be strictly scrutinized, but the number of people must also be controlled. I think it should not be too many at the beginning, just ten people.”
Fourth elder Liu Baichuan still insisted on his opinion and said: "Recruiting ten casual cultivators will not be effective at all, the number is too small!"
At this time, Liu Changxu said: "Grandpa, the fourth Grandpa, I think we can do this. Recruiting casual cultivators can be divided into two types. One is to recruit ten people to form a family fighting team. This group of casual cultivators must carefully examine their situation to prevent evil cultivators from mixing into the family fighting force. The other is to temporarily recruit casual cultivators to join the family war team when a war is about to break out, and then fire them immediately after the war."
After hearing Liu Changxu's method, everyone was very satisfied and unanimously agreed.
