Ancestor Above

Lu Qing's five-year retreat went by in a hurry.

He is a cultivator, he has reached the Golden Core Stage, and he is of course familiar with the feeling of long-term retreat.

But this time is different.

In the past, long-term seclusion was practiced, and there was something to do. But in the current retreat, he really has nothing to do.

Spiritual bodies can't leave the retreat room, they can only stay in this closed space; the system can't be turned on, and they can't even watch those boring data to pass the time.

It really is five years of sitting, and even the changes in time will feel a little fuzzy.

However, there is a system to help him remember.

As soon as the five-year period expires, a lot of system messages will pop up directly.

[Pingyao County's control power increased to 35%]

...

[Achievement: Qi Cultivator, one-star achievement] ×3

[The family adds a Qi cultivator, rewarding 5 karma]

...

[Achievement: Build a caravan, one star to achieve]

[Build a family-controlled caravan, reward 10 karma]

...

[The domestication of the water spirit horses is completed, and the annual income is 248 spirit stones]

...

[Achievements: New resources, two-star achievement]

[Add a 2-star resource to the family, rewarding 50 karma]

...

[The crusade event, click to view the details]

...

After reading the pile of system prompts, Lu Qing found that the karma he had at hand... seemed to be quite a lot.

After five years of seclusion, 50 karma has been recorded; the family seems to have added three new qi cultivators in the past five years, and each has given five karma rewards; the caravan and water spirit horse herd have been successfully domesticated, these It should be regarded as resources, industries, and karma.

After all, his current karma has reached one hundred and twenty-six points.

He also clicked on the crusade event and saw the details.

[Wandering monster, crusade level: two stars]

[Enemy Type: Revenant, Demon]

【quantity: 1】

[Average Strength: Second-Order Middle Grade]

[Boss Strength: Second-Order Middle Grade]

[crusade reward: 133 karma, second-order low-grade magic weapon: Binding Yin and Lishui Cable]

[The crusade has been completed, one person sacrificed, Lu Tingzhi. 】

...

After clicking on the details of the crusade, Lu Qing's karma increased again, reaching 259 points, but Lu Tingzhi died because of it.

Lu Qing had an impression of him. When Lu Qingxian was fine before, he read the entire family directory.

The Tingzi generation, of course, is his grandson. This child is Lu Chaohe's second child. He should be at the sixth level of Qi training. He is very young, only thirty-seven years old.

The family is dead again.

To put it coldly, the life of a sixth-level qi cultivator can be exchanged for a second-order low-grade magic weapon... In fact, it is worthwhile in the cultivation world, even if the sixth-level qi training is still very young, and the future is the same.

But emotionally speaking, this person is his grandson, and Lu Qing will still feel a little uncomfortable.

But this kind of thing will happen more and more in the future, it is absolutely inevitable, he has to learn to adapt.

As for this 'wandering monster', what the hell is going on, we still have to ask someone later.

He then clicked on the family's income item and looked at it in detail.

[Total annual income: 1245 Lingshi (year), Danfang: 115, Fire Refinery Room: 122, Medicine Garden: 99, Phineng Stone Mine: 210, Pingyao County Tax: 383, Shuiling Horse Group: 298, Pingyao Caravan : 18]

[Total annual expenditure: 1124 spirit stones (year), clan food fortune: 820, resource maintenance: 195, territory maintenance: 109]

【Net income: 121】

【Savings: 447】

Family income has grown significantly.

From 750 per year at the beginning, it has become 1245 now, an increase of more than 60%; the expenditure has increased slightly, mainly on resource maintenance, but it is not too much many.

Overall, it looks like it has turned a profit...

In the future, if the family maintains the status quo, they will add 121 spiritual stones to their savings every year.

Five years ago, when Lu Qing woke up for the first time, he spent his karma to make a wave of operations, but it always brought a return, and changed the situation of the family in a small way.

In addition, the family population has also risen from 106 to 112.

This population counts the entire clan. Just looking at the cultivator population, three more cultivators died and one died, which is equivalent to only two more cultivators.

With more than 200 karma in hand, Lu Qing now has a lot of room for manipulation. Although he doesn't have any action items to choose from now, but he has karma, it doesn't matter. The big deal, the ten karma is refreshed and it's over.

He was not in a hurry to do too much, nor was he in a hurry to call his child over. He directly floated out of his retreat room and came outside.

On Jade Mist Mountain, Lu Qing strolled for a while, and he was very satisfied to see that the mental state of the family cultivators had obviously changed completely from when he first woke up. It is no longer so full of depression. Although everyone is not happy, they have a lot of high spirits of struggle and improvement on their faces.

I don't know if it's because of the family style option that boosted morale, or because the family has indeed changed a lot in the past five years.

Lu Qing believes that it is both, and the more important one is actually the latter.

The monks of the family will no longer be dragged out of the family welfare, and they can also get some extra rewards for doing things for the family. It is no longer the same as before, which means generating electricity for love. Of course everyone loves the family, but everyone has to live their own life.

People can generate electricity for love and sacrifice for the family, but this sacrifice must be valuable. It cannot be said that the family is not good to the clan, and the clansmen still care about the family and are willing to work hard.

In the beginning, the family was all blood relatives and had a close relationship, so everything was easy to say. But now, there have been four generations from the Chaozi generation to the youngest generation, and the entire family has hundreds of people. Taking the example of the generation of characters, it is said that they all have the surname Lu and are brothers of the same clan, but if you count them up, it might take five generations to count the same ancestor in Lu Qing.

If the personal relationship between the two is average, just looking at kinship, it is actually quite far away.

In the future, as the family population increases and the generations grow deeper, the cohesion brought by pure blood will become weaker and weaker. In the future, the most important factor that can sustain the existence of the family and keep the family cohesive, so as not to disperse, will be interests.

Interest is not a derogatory term, taking care of the interests of every family member is one of the meanings of the existence of the family. Let those who are not talented enough and are not so willing to work hard have at least the most basic guarantee; let those who are talented and ambitious have a brighter future with the support of the family.

If it can't be done, it is inevitable that the cohesion of the family will decline.

This trend used to be in the Lu family, but it has now been reversed.

Lu Qing hopes that the future will get better and better.
