Ancestor Above

"Meaning, did these two Foundation Establishment Pills still be used by Mingling and Tingchou in the end?"

"Yes... Mingpu has 16 years left, and there will be opportunities in the future." Lu Chaoxi sighed and replied to his father like this.

"That's fine." Lu Qing said, "It's a good thing for the two of them to succeed. Now there are five foundation-building cultivators in the family, and you, Qiming, are not much worse than his Zhao family. You also need to cultivate yourself. Work hard, when will you be able to go to the second floor?"

"It's going to take a few years."

"Um."

At this moment, Lu Qing was chatting with Lu Chaoxi. The time for his exit was set before, and Lu Chaoxi also came on time.

"By the way, Lord Father." He mentioned another matter, "Wen En also came, and said he wanted to kowtow to you. He should have left home for Qingfengmen half a month ago, but for the sake of Waiting for you to wake up from retreat and listen to the teachings, it took half a month."

"This stinky boy..."

"Huh?" Lu Chaoxi didn't know why his father said that. Logically, his father should be unfamiliar with Wen En?

Oh, by the way, when he was fighting in northern Xinjiang the year before, his father's consciousness came to Wen En and guided him out of the predicament.

Then why did Dad call him a stinky boy?

"Let him come." Lu Qing's voice sounded again.

"Okay." Taking back his thoughts, Lu Chaoxi walked out.

Outside the deep passage in the retreat room, Wen En was waiting outside, accompanied by Gongsun Que beside him. This Miss Gongsun has also been a guest in the Lu family for a year. The Lu family treats her as a very important guest. Some resources for basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and cultivation are all provided as much as possible. When they are the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law of the family, they are from the Gongsun family of a thousand-year-old wealthy family, so why not treat them well!

When the two first got along, although they could not let go and were shy of each other, they didn't necessarily think about marrying or marrying each other. At most, they had a little affection for each other, and most of these affections might even be caused by Gongsun Xia. That guy pushed it out.

But in this state, they spend a year together day and night. Except for the time of their own cultivation, the two of them are basically together, whether they go out for an outing, visit towns or historical sites, in short, the speed of this feeling of warming up is quite the same. Fast.

The Lu family is all ready to go to the Gongsun family to propose marriage...

"go in,

The old man has woken up. "

"Yes." He bowed his hands to the patriarch and said something to Gongsun Que, and he walked into the deep passage in the back mountain by himself. Five-body cast.

"Unworthy descendants, bow down to ancestors."

"Get up." Lu Qing's voice came.

When Wen En heard it, it was exactly the same voice he heard on the battlefield the year before.

"Wen En didn't dare. Lord Gaozu helped me escape from the battlefield, but I was suspicious and even slandered. This kind of unfilial behavior makes me feel guilty and unbearable now."

Ha ha.

Lu Qing was happy, and he didn't care about this with him: "Get up, those who don't know are not guilty, and I didn't blame you."

Hearing this, Lu Wenen dared to stand up.

After asking a few more questions about the current situation, and after some encouragement, Lu Qing let him go.

Then, Lu Chaoxi came in again.

"Father... Let Wen En know that you are awake, okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Lu Qing said, "It wasn't seventeen years ago."

Lu Chaoxi suddenly realized.

Seventeen years ago, when Lu Qing first woke up, it really shouldn't be too publicized that he wasn't dead - even though he was actually dead.

At that time, the family was the weakest time. Lu Qing just got the system, but it still doesn't work; the family only has three foundations, and its strength is not enough. In the event that the enemy family is brought in—that is, the Zhao family, Zhao Zidan doesn’t need to be dispatched, and the Lu family can’t stand it if they come to Qiming or build a few more foundations.

What is there to say?

I beat you because I suspected that your Jindan cultivator might not be dead; I dared not beat you because your Jindan cultivator really didn't die.

It's really different now, so what if Zhao Zidan is close?

I, Lu Qing, have prepared a big baby for you!

...

Later, Lu Qing told his son something very important.

About the establishment of the family contribution system.

"In the future, we will not send spirit stones to the clan. The annual salary and training subsidies will be replaced by contributions."

"Please elaborate, sir."

"Just like the meritorious deeds of going north this time, the value of a little family contribution is equivalent to a piece of spiritual stone, and it can also be exchanged for a spiritual stone."

"This...isn't it the same as before? In the past, spirit stones were sent to the clansmen, and most of the things they wanted to buy were also bought from the family treasury. ...No! I understand, according to what my father said, should I only spend contribution points when I buy things from the family? Contribution points can be exchanged for spirit stones, but spirit stones cannot be exchanged for contribution points?"

"Yes."

"In this way, everyone won't have too many spirit stones in their hands, and there will be a lot more money in the family. It doesn't matter to the clan, but the family will become richer, and it will be easier to mobilize funds to do big things. !"

"That's it." Lu Qing's tone had a bit of a teachable taste.

This is something that was obtained from the thinking of the currency system in the previous life, and from the meritorious system performed by the coalition forces on this trip to northern Xinjiang.

After the implementation, it has the meaning of a bit of credit currency. As currency, Lingshi is a bit like the gold in Lu Qing's previous life. It has real value, even more than gold. Lingshi can even be regarded as the lifeblood of monks, not just a manifestation of wealth. .

As for the contribution of the family, it is said that it can be directly exchanged with spirit stones, but its value is essentially a system constructed based on the credit of the Lu family.

To put it mildly, if Lu Chaoxi can't think about it one day in the future and runs away with the money, the remaining clansmen will all lose their money.

But this will not happen. One is that Lu Chaoxi will definitely not do it himself. He is not that kind of person. He can die for the family. In addition, purely from the point of view of interests, being the patriarch of the Lu family is better than holding some money. Is it comfortable to be a casual practice?

Of course, on the other hand, there must be a way to prevent this kind of thing from the system. For example, as the patriarch, Lu Chaoxi doesn't care about finances or the treasury.

If we were to snatch it hard... it would be impossible to chat, and outsiders could also come and snatch it.

In short, it is not so easy to roll up the money and run away.

After listening to his father's words, Lu Chaoxi will leave to prepare for this matter.

And Lu Qing, the consciousness body flew out. He planned to take a stroll around Jade Mist Mountain and the surrounding area. If he had nothing to do, he would go back to retreat and practice, and try to break through to the sixth floor of Jindan as soon as possible.

Although it is useless for the time being, he is very confident in his resurrection now.

Maybe, he will enter the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as he lives in the future!

"That's not good either... It's really necessary to resurrect the Nascent Soul, how many years? And if it's really that kind of resurrection, I don't know if there will be free and sufficient spiritual energy provided by the system, alas... It's really a miracle. A tangled thing."

Lu Qing became delusional.

After thinking for a while, his conscious body floated back to the vicinity of the back mountain.

Taking back his thoughts, he found nothing special, and he planned to go back to his body to practice again.

But as soon as he returned to his body and was about to open the retreat, a message came.

【One Star Achievement: Acts of Valor】

[Family members Lu Mingsi, Lu Minghai, and Lu Meiting have made heroic actions in order to fight for the interests of the family, and have had a certain impact. 】

[Reward: 10 Karma]

...

what is this?

Why is there another act of heroism?

Or Lu Mingsi?

Lu Qing recalled that this Lu Mingsi seems to be Lu Weiwen's father. Now he should be a family monk who has been stationed in Pingyao County for a long time, responsible for the family's interests in Pingyao.

Back then, he was also the one who went to Pingyao County to sell horses, and he was also the one who was beaten...

What happened again?

Now, there must be no news from Yuyanshan, and Lu Qing didn't plan to wait for someone to come to him to report.

At present, the cultivator whose family resides in Pingyao is Lu Tinghua. He is the eldest of the Tingzi generation. He is eighty-seven years old this year. He has practiced Qi at the ninth level. He is Lu Mingsi's father, Wei Wen's grandfather, and Chao Heng's eldest son.

In the past, Tinghua was in charge of the pyroxene lode. A year ago, Lu Chaojun was transferred back to Yuyan Mountain from Pingyao County to undertake the work of family affairs, but Pingyao must also have a trusted veteran in charge, so he sent Lu Tinghua to do it.

While on the road, Lu Qing also checked the current state of the two who triggered the heroic act.

Ming Si was fine, Lu Minghai, who had practiced Qi at the seventh level, was seriously injured.

Arriving in Pingyao County, Lu Qing immediately went to the Lu family's mansion to take a look, only one monk was there.

The Lu family is now resident in Pingyao, and there should be six monks.

Not in a hurry, Lu Qing learned from the conversations between the people in the mansion that the accident happened on Luantou Mountain outside the city.

That Luantou Mountain is a first-order spiritual vein in Pingyao County, and more than 20 loose cultivators have formed a small gang to practice on it. Because of its barrenness, they have a deep connection with Pingyao County and need to exchange materials needed for cultivation more frequently.

Whether it is leasing Luantou Mountain or exchanging materials needed for cultivation (taxes are required), these are all providing income to Pingyao County.

The matter lies in the payment of the rental fee for Luantou Mountain.

Last year, in a very unfriendly atmosphere, the Lu and Zhao families negotiated a result - in the future, if they return to the Lu family to collect the rent, then the Lu family will go by themselves.

In the past, it was always the Zhao family who first collected the rent of the artificial spiritual meridian cave in Pingyao and the rent of the surrounding low-level spiritual meridians, and then distributed the money to the Lu family according to the proportion. The income of the two companies in Fangshi in Pingyao County is their own.

There will be a lot of tricks here, how much is the rental amount? How much did you get? Are there yin and yang accounts? Are there any other deals?

In the past, the Lu family had no choice but to check the accounts, but they couldn't find out anything important. Occasionally, they found out, and they dealt with it in a calm manner.

But this situation cannot continue just like that.

After Lu Tinghua came up, he started talking about this matter.

Now the person in charge of the Zhao family in Pingyao is still Zhao Pinggu in name, but in fact, a foundation-building cultivator has been sent here.

But the Lu family is not afraid, especially since the family patriarch has already enlightened, just on the Jade Mist Mountain not far away, what else is there to be afraid of?

What's more, news of Lu Mingling and Lu Tingchou building a foundation came one after another.

The Zhao family had to give in.

And that is, since a month ago, the monks of the Lu family have been busy, and they have started to collect bills everywhere, taking back the interests of the family little by little.

This process was not smooth, there was a lot of friction in the middle, and some hands were moved, but relatively speaking, it was relatively easy to maintain more restraint. Although it was difficult, it was pushed forward little by little.

But when collecting the rent of Luantou Mountain, something went wrong.

The group of loose cultivators in Luantoushan said that they had already handed it over, and it was the Zhao family who came to receive it.

This shit sucks.

According to the agreement, Luantou Mountain is the interests of the Lu family.

They are all group of loose cultivators, and they are not very wealthy. They rent Luantou Mountain for a year and each of them will gather a little bit, and only one hundred and fifty spirit stones can be gathered.

Last year, Mrs. Zhao said that they could give a discount if they received five years' worth of spirit stones at a time. As long as five hundred spirit stones were needed, twenty of them tightened their belts and got together. Home is found again.

They couldn't come up with so many spiritual stones, and at the same time they were very angry, asking how the Lu Zhao family managed Pingyao County?

They have also rented here for decades, and they have the name of "Luantou Gang", which is regarded as taking root in Pingyao.

There is no need to offend them, and there is no point. The Lu family could only go to the Zhao family again, and the response was:

"I'll let your Lu family take it after you say it. If you can't take it, what are you going to do with us? Who said last year, you couldn't take it five years in advance?"

There was a lot of quarrel in the county government, let's not talk about it, the monks of the Lu family obviously couldn't swallow it. After the communication failed, they also came up with a not-so-clean idea - isn't the Zhao family collecting rent now? Then go robbery.

Lu Meiting, who was practicing Qi at the ninth level, brought Ming Si and Ming Hai to work.

This was Lu Meiting's own idea, and she didn't discuss it with her elder brother Lu Tinghua.

The three Lu family cultivators who went out of the city did not kill anyone. They intercepted two groups of Zhao cultivators and obtained more than 340 spiritual stones. He didn't get back all of Luantoushan's five-year profits, which was a lot worse, but he was more or less angry and made up for some losses.

However, on their way back to the city, despite being more careful, they were stopped.

Fighting hard, the three of them triggered that heroic act, eventually escaping two and getting one caught.

The Zhao family didn't kill.

It is also fortunate that the two sides are more restrained, otherwise, this matter is likely to directly become the fuse for the two wars to start again.

But even so, the situation is already very tense.
