Everlasting

Chen Nianzhi was silent and handed a Yuan Ju Dan into Chen Nianchuan's hand.

Chen Nianchuan took the Juyuan Pill, bowed solemnly to Chen Nianzhi, and then walked out. His back looked a bit domineering and decisive.

Chen Nianzhi watched from a distance and felt an inexplicable depression in his heart. More than twenty years ago, the Sixth Elder Chen Qingmeng also said goodbye to him here and gave him his alchemy notes.

Today, even at his peak, even with the help of Ju Yuan Dan, Chen Nianchuan is only 20% sure of success.

"Brother Nianchuan."

Looking at his back, Chen Nianzhi suddenly spoke and wished.

"With your father's remaining strength, you will succeed!"

Not far away, the figure suddenly stopped. He turned back and took a deep look at Chen Nianzhi, showing a bit of a smile.

"With your wishes, I will be able to build the foundation."

"Hahaha."

He suddenly laughed, regained his confidence, and strode away.

"..."

After bidding farewell to everyone in Qingyuan Mountain, Chen Nianzhi returned to Linghu Continent with his two brothers, Xian Ling and Xianyan. After returning to Linghu Continent, the two brothers and sisters began to retreat to break through the foundation building realm.

More than two months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Chen Nianzhi was awakened from his dormant cultivation and smiled a little.

Chen Xianling lived up to expectations and successfully broke through to the realm of foundation building, becoming the sixth foundation building monk in his family.

The brother's successful breakthrough seemed to have deepened the sister's confidence. Just three days later, Chen Xianyan also took this step and became the seventh foundation builder in the family.

Not long after, two pieces of news came from Qingyuan Mountain.

That Chen Qingyu was useless. Even if he got the foundation building pill, he still failed to build the foundation.

It is said that after hearing the news, Chen Changming, who was already 117 years old, couldn't bear it and collapsed to the ground on the spot, and passed away on the hospital bed within a few days.

On the contrary, it was Chen Nianchuan who surprised people. He and his father's remnants, fought to the death with the belief of narrow escape, actually succeeded in building the foundation, and became the eighth foundation-building monk in the family.

This Chen Nianchuan is similar to Lin Baixi of the Lin family in that he built his own foundation before reaching the age of fifty. His potential in the future may be even better than that of Xianyan Xianling who built his foundation before the age of thirty.

Suddenly there were three more foundation builders, and the manpower was immediately abundant. The family celebrated with lights and decorations.

After there were more foundation-building monks, some rules had to be established. Chen Nianzhi and the old patriarch summoned the family's foundation-building monks and held a meeting.

The result of the meeting was to re-formulate the rules. From now on, only foundation-building monks can become family elders, and then decided to let several foundation-building elders take turns guarding the family's spiritual veins.

Just like the foundation-building monks guarding Xuantie Mountain and Yuyangfang City, they can be rotated every five years in the future. Even when necessary, two or three foundation-building monks can replace the old patriarch to guard Pingyang City.

In addition, the family also developed a fifth second-level spiritual vein, which is Yang Yuanqing's cave.

Considering that the Hundred Thousand Miles of Wilderness will be invaded by monsters sooner or later, the Chen family did not develop this spiritual vein too much. They only opened up more than ten acres of spiritual fields outside the cave to plant spiritual rice and arranged for a foundation-building monk. Sitting with a few qi-training monks.

Although these spiritual rice are not of high value, they can be harvested once a year and can be temporarily discarded at any time once the chaos of monsters and monsters comes.

Moreover, the spiritual rice planted in this ancient cultivation cave can also bring in hundreds of spiritual stones every year. It can not only solve the problem of a foundation-building monk cultivating spiritual energy, but also reduce the financial pressure of the family a lot.

After all, the family now has eight foundation-building monks. The annual salary of only six early-stage foundation-building monks is as high as 1,800 spirit stones, which is already the family's largest expense.

Moreover, the family also re-established the salary standard. From now on, the annual salary for the middle stage of foundation building will be increased to 400 spirit stones. The annual salary of Chen Nianzhi and the old patriarch is even mentioned to 600 spirit stones per year.

In this way, the annual salary of the eight foundation builders in the family is as high as three thousand spiritual stones. These spiritual stones are related to the cultivation progress of the foundation builder elders in the family, so naturally they cannot be stingy in the slightest.

In addition, in order to cultivate rising stars and allow the family to have more ninth-level qi-practicing monks, the family has also increased the annual salary of monks with third-level spiritual roots and above by 50%, and an additional ten spiritual stones per year for monks with second-level spiritual roots. subsidy.

With the liberalization of childbearing in recent years, there are now more than 300 qi-training monks in the family, including more than 80 monks with three spiritual roots or above.

Although each of them has a small salary, the 50% increase in salary for so many monks is still a considerable expense.

Fortunately, Lingzhou Lake's spiritual veins have been promoted to the second-level mid-level, and the size of the blue fish group and the spiritual field has doubled, bringing more than 2,000 spiritual stones to the family every year.

Coupled with the development of the Xuantie Mountain Dojo, the Xuantie Mountain veins and the spiritual field of Xuantie Mountain, the income from more than a thousand spiritual stones has been increased every year.

In general, the family's five second-level spiritual veins, excluding Pingyang City, which does not produce any income, and the three spiritual veins of Lingzhou Lake, Xuantie Mountain, and Guxiu Cave Mansion can bring about 4,000 spiritual veins to the family. stone.

The spiritual energy of Qingyuan Mountain is mainly used for the cultivation of monks in the clan. Only a dozen acres of spiritual fields can produce income, but only two to three hundred spiritual stones. The most important thing is that there are occasionally high-level spiritual beings on Qingyuan Mountain. The medicine is mature and useful for foundation-building monks.

Yuyangfang City's tax dividends are also quite stable, bringing the family an income of 1,500 spirit stones every year.

Including the shop, the Five Elements Essence trade, and other miscellaneous income, the Chen family now has an annual income of more than 6,000 spirit stones.

This is six times more than the family's poorest period thirty years ago. Therefore, even if the family has seven more foundations and the number of monks in the family has tripled, the family's annual spiritual stone balance is still fifteen or six hundred. of pieces.

With so many benefits, the Chen family's pockets began to bulge, and naturally they needed to send more monks to guard it.

The profits that can be saved also mean that the strength of the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan is already at the top level of the Foundation Establishment Clan, and it will even be qualified to attack the Zifu Clan in the future.

Fortunately, the large number of virtuous monks in the family that were born out of the liberalization of childbirth have now gradually grown up. Many of them are already in their twenties and are already capable of contributing to the family.

For Chen Nianzhi, life soon returned to its usual calm. He already had a very high status in the family and was one of the true top decision-makers. The current situation no longer required him to worry about trivial matters.

He is also used to the scenery of Lingzhou Lake, and practicing meditation here suits his mood very well.

"..."

Time flies by like this, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This year is another year for operating the Five Elements Essence trade, but Chen Nianzhi no longer needs to spend several months traveling back and forth.

Chen Qingwan and Chen Qinghao led the team together and went to Tianxu Mountain to complete this trade.

"Qiang——"

That day, Chen Nianzhi was swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon when he saw a sword light flying over. Chen Xianyan used the sword light to land in front of him.
