Family Cultivation: I can upgrade my magic weapon

After Chen Xianming's permission, Chen Nianqing went down to report, and a young man in green came to the hall and saluted Chen Xianming.

"Junior Chen Sishan, meet the clan leader."

"Meet the Sixth Elder."

When he saw Chen Qingyun, Chen Sishan recognized him, and with awe in his eyes, he greeted the Sixth Elder.

"Well, according to the clan rules, you still have about a year of training period, why are you returning to the family early now?"

Chen Xianming said lightly, as an elder, he still asked with concern.

"Did you encounter any difficulties when you were away from home?"

Chen Sishan knew that according to the clan rules, it would be inappropriate to come back early at this time, and he would be blamed.

Because of his guilty conscience, he didn't want to say more about it, so he just bowed and responded.

"Thank you for your concern, clan leader. This time, I will continue the training."

As soon as the voice fell, he immediately changed the subject.

"I came here to ask for something."

Chen Xianming was already an old hand, so he could see what Chen Sishan was thinking, and he was obviously unwilling to say more.

Seeing this, Chen Xianming did not point it out.

After a pause, he went straight to the point and said, "You want the foundation-building pill, have you prepared all the merits?"

When he heard about the merits, Chen Sishan looked embarrassed and was thinking about how to start.

But thinking that he had come here, he gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to say, "Master Patriarch, I am currently short of about 8,000 merits, so I haven't gathered 10,000 merits yet."

Eight thousand merits may not seem like much, but for a Qi-refining cultivator, it is not easy to accumulate so many merits.

Chen Sishan dared to think and act, and before Chen Xianming could answer, he immediately put forward his own ideas.

"But I heard that the clan currently has enough foundation-building pills. I thought it would be better to owe 8,000 merits and let me exchange one foundation-building pill for foundation-building."

"After the foundation-building is successful, I will return the remaining merits as soon as possible. I hope the clan leader will help me."

Hearing this, Chen Qingyun's eyes turned and he couldn't help but look at this junior more.

From the perspective of cultivation, Chen Sishan's cultivation is not bad. He has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. It seems that he has relied on resources to break through and advance.

At present, it is indeed possible to try to build a foundation, which requires a foundation-building pill.

However, there are still so many merits missing, and this foundation-building pill may not be easy to exchange.

When Chen Qingyun was thinking, he looked at Chen Xianming's expression and frowned at this time, as if Chen Sishan's proposal did not conform to the rules.

Sure enough, Chen Xianming's next words confirmed the conjecture.

"Since sixteen years ago, the family has established the exchange rules for foundation-building pills."

"For the sake of fairness, as long as one of you reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining, you can ask relatives and friends to collect 10,000 merits to exchange for one pill, and the maximum exchange quantity is two."

"If the merits are not collected, you can only continue to work hard, but there is no such thing as owing the family first."

"Patriarch, my situation is special, please make an exception once."

When he heard that there was no hope if he owed merits, Chen Sishan showed a bitter look and begged.

"I have been practicing hard for many years and now I can finally build my foundation. If I delay for a few more years, it will affect my future path."

"Patriarch, do you want to see this? I don't think you want to."

"And... and there are quite a few foundation-building pills in the family. I'll keep them anyway, so it won't be a problem to exchange one for me first."

"The purpose of these foundation-building pills is to serve us, the younger generation in the Qi Refining Stage."

"Wait until I succeed in building my foundation, and then go out to continue training for a year or two. Maybe I'll encounter some extraordinary opportunities."

"If I find a spiritual vein mine, or even a spiritual stone mine, I will be able to repay the merits I owe very quickly."

"Patriarch, why don't you be so kind as to give me a favor and make an exception..."

"Okay, no need to say."

Chen Xianming's face was full of majesty, and he refused directly.

"The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. No matter how many foundation-building pills there are in the clan, they must be handled according to the rules and cannot be broken at will."

"If everyone follows your example and asks me for backdoors, how much resources will be left in the clan treasury?"

"The family can exchange 10,000 merits, which is already the maximum profit. You have been training outside for the past two years. Don't you know what the price of a foundation-building pill is outside?"

After these words came out, Chen Sishan was speechless. He immediately recalled that he had inquired about the price of foundation-building pills during his training outside for the past two years.

The premium of that foundation-building pill was about 12,000 or 13,000 spirit stones, and this was when there was a supply.

Most of the time, foundation-building pills are hard to find and extremely precious.

Thinking of this, Chen Sishan was still somewhat reluctant in his heart. He did not answer Chen Xianming's question, but said stubbornly: "Outside is outside, their foundation-building pills are rare, and the high price is understandable, not like our family."

'But our family has so many foundation-building pills, why not take them out and let us, the younger generation, build our foundation first, which can also improve the strength of the family. Isn't it a good thing to have more foundation-building cultivators in the family? "

Hearing this, Chen Xianming felt that Chen Sishan's thoughts were more worrying, so he didn't mean to explain more, and said directly.

"If you want to borrow, you should also understand that there is a limit to borrowing. "

"If you are only a few hundred merits short, I can lend it to you in my personal name to help you build your foundation first."

"But this is a difference of 8,000 merits, which is too much."

"The iron must be strong itself, you should do more for the family, work harder, this is the same for anyone who comes, not just for you."

"That's all I have to say, don't say anything more, you can leave."

Chen Xianming was a bit earnest, so he waved his hand, didn't want to waste any more words, and issued an order to expel him.

"Patriarch..."

Chen Sishan thought of the boast he had made among several peers in the family, saying that he would definitely build his foundation within two years.

Seeing that the exchange was impossible, he secretly clenched his fists, and was actually a little angry.

He didn't care about that much, his eyes turned, glanced at Chen Qingyun, and whispered meaningfully.

"The family was particularly fond of the Sixth Elder before, giving away free resources worth millions of Yuandan, and also a lot of magic tools. It was really enviable."

"But why can't I even owe a little merit to exchange for a foundation-building pill? It's really biased."

How could this muttering be hidden from the ears of Chen Xianming and Chen Qingyun, two Jindan cultivators.

"Asshole, shut up!"

The moment Chen Sishan finished speaking, a shout suddenly rang out in the hall, and the tone was as loud as a bell, shaking the whole hall.
