Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 17 Lin County Magistrate

After arriving at the banquet venue, Shen Xiangchi took Shen Zhirui to find an inconspicuous corner and sat down, quietly waiting for the banquet to start.

At this time, there were various spiritual fruits on the table in front of them, and the aura emitted by several of them was no less than a middle-grade first-order.

I saw that Shen Zhirui picked up a spiritual fruit casually and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste stimulated his taste buds, and the spiritual fruit swallowed by him quickly turned into a wisp of fine The spiritual power gathered in his dantian.

When a spirit fruit was swallowed into his stomach, he could feel that the increase in spiritual power brought by this spirit fruit seemed to be equivalent to refining a low-grade spirit stone, or even more.

Shen Xiangchi next to him just glanced at Shen Zhirui, and then he poured a cup of spiritual tea and sipped it carefully.

During this period, many patriarchs also came to say hello to Shen Xiangchi, among them was the old man surnamed Zhao who had traveled with them earlier.

Although the Shen family is not the oldest family in Sha Yu County, it can be regarded as a big family.

Moreover, the Shen family's main business is the planting of spiritual grains and elixir, as well as the business of elixir, basically every family cannot do without these two.

"Friend Daoist Shen!"

I saw a burly old man walking towards Shen Xiangchi and the two quickly.

After seeing the old man coming, Shen Xiangchi also quickly got up to return the salute.

"Daoyou Li!"

"The corpse of the Sand Wolf King sent by Fellow Daoist Shen is really a treasure. It's a pity that my Li family's refining skills are rough, otherwise it would be more than enough to refine a second-order spiritual weapon."

The old man looked at Shen Xiangchi and said, his expression seemed very excited.

"Fellow Daoist, you are welcome. No one in Shayu County knows that your Li family's weapon refining skills are top-notch. As for the corpse of the wolf king, fellow Daoist can just figure it out."

From the conversation between the two, Shen Zhirui gradually understood that the person who came should be the patriarch of the Li family in Chiyang Mountain.

And this Li family in Chiyang Mountain is also a famous family in Shayu County, the family inheritance is longer than that of the Shen family, and all the disciples of the Li family are proficient in weapon refining, and they are a well-known weapon refining family in Shayu County.

It seems that the patriarch should have given the body of the Sand Wolf King to the Li family and asked the Li family to refine the parts of the wolf king into magic weapons.

Just as everyone on the field was talking to each other, a loud voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"The magistrate is here!"

As soon as the words fell, a melodious sound of fairy music came to everyone's ears, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music echoed on the field, making everyone on the field slightly fascinated after hearing it.

I saw an old man in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe slowly walking in front of the crowd accompanied by the sound of Xian Le, followed by two maids with good figures and faces.

And when the old man appeared at the banquet venue, everyone in the venue immediately felt an extremely powerful aura enveloped them instantly.

This is the coercion that belongs to the foundation cultivator!

The next moment, all the guests, including Shen Xiangchi's grandfather and grandson, immediately bowed respectfully to the old man and said:

"Meet the magistrate!"

"Everyone, please get up!"

Lin Zhengsheng waved a majestic spiritual power casually, and helped everyone who bowed and saluted to their feet.

When this spiritual power flowed by Shen Zhirui's side, he immediately felt as if he was being lifted up by a hand, and he couldn't help feeling surprised.

"Thank you sir!"

At the same time, the people who were lifted up hurriedly bowed their hands again.

"Everyone, please take your seats!"

I saw that Lin Zhengsheng was the first to sit on the top seat, and then he called everyone on the field to take their seats.

After everyone was seated, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"This time, all of you can come to congratulate me. The county magistrate is very happy, so you don't have to be cautious."

"Your magistrate, you are welcome. Thanks to you sitting in Shayu County, we can keep Shayu County stable, and all families and ethnic groups can develop steadily."

As soon as Lin Zhengsheng finished speaking, a small and fat old man immediately stood up and complimented him.

Everyone in the audience looked at it one after another, and many people felt contempt in their hearts, but they had no choice but to applaud.

This obese old man was the patriarch of the Chen family in Shayu County, and the concubine that Lin Zhengsheng took this time was his granddaughter.

Now that he has become a monk in the foundation building stage, the obese old man naturally has confidence, and he is the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"Alright, the county magistrate invited you here this time because I have a few things to tell you."

Facing the compliments from the elders of the Chen family and the other patriarchs, Lin Zhengsheng nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice.

"The first thing to do is to summarize the past year. Last year, there were no major incidents in this county, and the harvest of Linggu in the county was also good. Therefore, the county magistrate hopes that you can continue to work hard after you go back."

"If any family dares to steal and play tricks under the eyes of the county magistrate, if they are dissatisfied with the rule of my Xuanling sect, or betray my Xuanling sect, then don't blame the county magistrate for being merciless."

Under Lin Zhengsheng's coercion and lure, the complexions of the heads of the various families present couldn't help but change, and they all had their own little calculations in their hearts.

But on the surface, everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted:

"I will follow the teachings of adults!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhengsheng also showed a satisfied look, but then he looked at the crowd with some unkind eyes and said slowly:

"The second thing. This county magistrate heard that among you, there seem to be some families that didn't pay their taxes in full last year."

As soon as these words came out, many monks in the crowd turned pale instantly, and sweat beads like soybeans began to flow from their foreheads.

"This county magistrate will give you another half a month. If you haven't paid all the taxes, then don't blame this county magistrate for being ruthless. I'm afraid you don't know that several families in Qinghe County have already been imprisoned for failing to pay taxes. The door was stolen."

"So the county magistrate hopes that some of you can find a way to pay last year's taxes as soon as possible, otherwise the county magistrate will have to act according to the laws of the sect."

After Lin Zhengsheng's words, many family patriarchs present were already in a cold sweat from fright, and quickly bowed and agreed.

After ordering a few important things, Lin Zhengsheng once again opened the altar to give lectures like the banquets in previous years, explaining the way of cultivation to everyone present.

This link is undoubtedly the most anticipated link of the qi training monks present, and it is also the reason why many monks have traveled thousands of miles to come here.

Although Lin Zhengsheng was only a foundation-building cultivator, it was already unattainable for these qi-training cultivators in Shayu County and surrounding counties.

Now it is a rare opportunity to be able to hear the monk who established the foundation to speak for them.

Of course, Lin Zhengsheng would not explain it too carefully, and he never mentioned anything related to foundation establishment.

And after the lecture was over, the banquet was really over, and everyone bowed their hands and said goodbye.
