Everlasting

"There are still more than 1,400 spiritual stones missing, so the younger generations of the family will also have to share it."

"Fifteen spiritual stones will be produced in the middle stage of Qi refining, and six will be produced in the early stage of Qi refining. There are more than 80 monks left in the family, and about four hundred spiritual stones can be collected."

"There are still a thousand holes left in the spirit stone. We need to find a way to make up for it." Fifth elder Chen Qingwan is a first-level high-grade weapon refiner. She added: "I will go back to help people take over some weapon refinement business, and I can earn dozens of dollars every year." The income from spiritual stones can be subsidized."

Chen Nianzhi was a little moved. Putting aside his family salary, it was not that easy to earn dozens of spiritual stones a year. If Chen Qingwan did this, he might have to give up his practice and spend most of his time refining weapons.

Fourth Elder Chen Qingyuan also nodded: "I help people transplant the elixir, and I can also subsidize it a little."

An eldest uncle also nodded and said: "Qingmeng failed to break through and build the foundation, so he can't be idle. After he recovers from his injuries, he can refine some elixirs every year to make up for part of the gap."

In a few words, everyone came up with many ways to earn spiritual stones, which could almost fill up the hole of a thousand spiritual stones in a few years.

It's just that in recent years, everyone can only tighten their belts, and the family salary has to be temporarily withheld.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, the third elder also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said again.

"In order to solve the family's deficit, we have to find ways to increase the income of the family."

"I think Linghu Island is in a good location. We can try to open up a few acres of spiritual fields on the island in the middle of the lake. If we plant more acres of spiritual fields to grow spiritual rice, our income will also increase a lot."

"this is not bad."

Everyone present's eyes lit up and they couldn't help but nodded.

Linghuzhou is located in a remote area and has a high-grade spiritual vein, but there are not many monks there who consume spiritual energy, and the excess spiritual energy can support several acres of spiritual fields.

Moreover, the water quality in the Spirit Lake is so good that it can even support spirit fish. It is probably also very good for growing spiritual medicine and rice.

Thinking of this, Fifth Elder Chen Qingwan said: "Uncle Fourteen died in the battle. Linghuzhou now has no post-Qi training station, and it is necessary to send a post-Qi training garrison formation."

"To open up the spiritual field, we need a spiritual cultivator, and the fourth elder has to take care of the seventeen acres of spiritual field in Qingyuan Mountain."

As she said this, she couldn't help but look at Chen Nianzhi. Isn't this an excellent candidate?

In the Chen family, apart from the fourth elder who is a first-level high-grade spiritual cultivator, Chen Nianzhi can barely be regarded as the second spiritual cultivator.

Among the various arts of cultivating immortality, Alchemist is the most popular profession, followed by Weapon Refiner, Formation Master and Talisman Master. Ling Zhifu is not so popular, but it is extremely rare.

If you want to transplant high-level spiritual roots, you must have a high-level spiritual transplanter, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.

Chen Nianzhi naturally knew the importance of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts. In fact, what he wanted to learn most was alchemy.

Unfortunately, alchemy requires a lot of resources to cultivate. If there is no elixir to try, it will be difficult to improve alchemy skills no matter how solid the theory is.

The Chen family's elixirs were scarce, so they were naturally reluctant to let him use them for practice. Basically, every time they harvested elixirs, the Sixth Elder personally opened the furnace.

Seeing that there was no chance to refine alchemy, Chen Nianzhi had to learn the spirit planting technique from the Fourth Elder in the past few years, hoping to understand the properties of the medicine and lay the foundation for becoming an alchemist in the future.

Unexpectedly, he seems to have some talent for taking care of elixirs, and now he has broken through to the first-level mid-level spiritual cultivation husband, which is considered to be extremely talented at this age.

As he is in the late stage of Qi training and is a spiritual cultivator, Chen Nianzhi naturally becomes the best candidate to open up a spiritual field in Linghu Continent.

Sure enough, the third elder also looked at Chen Nianzhi and asked directly.

"Think of it, I shouldn't have let you go down the mountain."

"But now that the family is short of manpower, and you can take charge of it alone, are you willing to go to Linghuzhou?"

"Linghuzhou."

Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment. Linghuzhou had a high-grade spiritual vein, which was enough to support his practice.

In addition, it is quiet and peaceful there, there are not many people around, and it is protected by formations. It is very suitable for him to practice Hongmeng Purple Qi. It is a good place.

Thinking of this, he nodded: "Okay."

"..."

After it was agreed that Chen Nianzhi would take charge of Linghuzhou, the family meeting gradually came to an end.

That night, Chen Nianzhi came to the seventh uncle's mansion to visit the old man.

At this time, the seventh uncle had woken up from his coma, but his breath was weak and his appearance was haggard and pale. He was obviously on his deathbed.

Seeing him, the seventh uncle could no longer get up, but he still hurriedly waved.

Chen Nianzhi hurriedly walked over and reached out to hold the seventh uncle's hand. He felt that the old man's hand was a little cold.

The seventh uncle held his hand firmly, his expression seemed to be a little nostalgic for the world, but also a little hopeful.

"Xiao Nianzhi, I'm dying."

"I have saved one hundred and twenty-three spiritual stones over the years, one hundred of which I gave to the family, and the remaining twenty-three."

"There are two more talismans and a green leaf sword. I'll leave these to you."

Chen Changqing is actually very talented. He is a second spiritual root monk. He has reached the ninth level of Qi training at the age of thirty-two. Among the elders, only the patriarch Chen Changxuan can match him.

It's a pity that he didn't have enough opportunities. During the Monster Rebellion more than sixty years ago, two of the foundation-building monks in his family died. Chen Changqing was seriously injured as a result, missed the opportunity to build the foundation, and even fell into the trap of practicing Qi. Eight floors.

After that, he simply gave up practicing and kept drawing talismans for his family, accumulating a lot of profits.

Last year, when the family purchased the Foundation Establishment Pill, Chen Changqing lent the family five hundred spirit stones, which was considered a considerable contribution.

Now that he is on his deathbed and none of his descendants have spiritual roots, he plans to give his remaining spiritual stones to Chen Nianzhi.

"How can my grandson bear this..."

Chen Nianzhi wanted to refuse, but Chen Changqing stopped him and continued.

"Thinking of it, you have been wise since childhood and have great talent."

"Perhaps you may one day become an immortal and attain enlightenment, or you may even be able to go further by practicing as a casual cultivator."

"But I hope you can stay in the family and contribute to the family."

"If the family cannot hold on any longer." The haggard old man's voice was trembling: "The hundreds of thousands of Chen family mortals in Pingyang County will become the blood food of demon cultivators and monsters. They are all our compatriots."

"Seventh uncle."

He took the jade box that Chen Changqing gave him and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The old man really has feelings for the Chen family. He regards Chen Nianzhi as the hope of the Chen family, hoping that he can take his place and protect the Chen family's inheritance and legacy forever.

Although Chen Nianzhi is a second-generation human being, he is actually reincarnated. He also feels the same way about Chen Changqing. This is an unbroken blood connection and sense of responsibility.

Seeing Chen Nianzhi taking the jade box, the seventh uncle passed away with a smile on his face.

"Read it and remember my Chen family tree."

"Following the road to everlasting life, remembering the virtuous and remembering the ancestors, supporting each other to rejuvenate the clan, and ascending to immortality."
