Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 258 Lin Hongyu's Plan
Now all the elders of the Zhou family know about the mysterious rewards after the Zhou family entered the top [-] of the "Hundred Clans Conference".

Therefore, the elders are not surprised that Zhou Mingde said that there are still many places where the Zhou family needs large-scale employment in the future.

But Zhou Chun's answer now made several elders frown.

Zhou Mingde also frowned slightly and said: "Of course it is a way to hire outsiders, but can outsiders be trusted?"

"Those rogue cultivators are all selfish. If they have milk, they are mothers. It's okay to hire them as thugs for things like resisting the beast tide. If it involves dealing with other forces, or things like resource extraction, even Someone supervises, and there is no guarantee that they will not try their best to betray the interests of the family!"

Of course Zhou Chun also knew this.

At this time, he said calmly: "The elder Taishang is very reasonable, but he ignores the composition of casual cultivation."

"In the eyes of the big families like me, those Xiuxian families who don't have a fixed mountain gate and no foundation-builder monks are all loose cultivators!"

"But I think everyone knows that apart from having no base at the mountain gate and no foundation-builder monks, they are also members of the Immortal Cultivation family, with a family and a small family!"

"In addition, there are many casual cultivators who are husband and wife, father and son, and master-student relationship. These people also care about each other."

Having said that, Zhou Chun glanced at the thoughtful Zhou Mingde and the elders, and then said: "So in my opinion, we can have two sets of standards for hiring casual cultivators. When encountering those who need to clean up monsters and resist Anyone can be hired for the attack of the beast tide, and for some more delicate things, only those who have families and small concerns are hired to do it."

"Of course, if we want to do this well, we usually need to invest more manpower to collect casual training materials, so that when we need to hire people to do things, it is also convenient to find people directly, and this kind of thing can also hire those Do it casually!"

"We can even make a little investment in some casual cultivators with good temperament and fair talent, such as allowing him to meditate at the Zhou Family Mountain Gate for free, selling some cultivation resources to them at cost price, or half cash and half spiritual coins. Give them a magic weapon."

"Maybe not every investment can get a return, but as long as half of the investment can get a useful return, it can also make the family less stretched in terms of manpower in the future!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Mingde and all the Zhou parents bowed their heads and thought about his words.

After a while like this, Zhou Daoyi spoke first: "Dashan, Zhengchun, what you said is really enlightening, and it's all practical!"

Zhou Mingde also nodded again and again: "That's right, it wasn't Zhengchun that you mentioned this, the old man really couldn't realize it."

It is difficult for them to realize this, which is related to their own growth experience.

Since they were young, they all grew up in a powerful Zhou family. They have always had a contempt for casual cultivators from the bottom of their hearts, and they have seen more of the ugly things that casual cultivators do for a little profit.

This kind of experience made them naturally distrust and dislike Sanxiu from the bottom of their hearts.

So even when they need to hire outsiders for help, they will instinctively reject casual cultivators.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Zhou family did not encounter a large-scale hiring of outsiders to do things before. If they have not done it, they will naturally have no experience.

But Zhou Chun didn't have that kind of rejection and aversion towards casual cultivators from the bottom of his heart, and secondly, because of the influence of past life experiences and memories, he was very familiar with hiring people to do things, so it was easy for him to think of these things.

But it's enough for Zhou Chun to know these things in his heart, so naturally he won't say them out.

At this time, seeing that everyone was satisfied with his proposal, he took advantage of the opportunity and threw out a reform proposal that he had thought about before the war started.

"Since the two Supreme Elders and all the elders have no objection to hiring casual cultivators, I just want to talk about another idea of ​​mine here."

"Before, I discovered that because many things in the family took up a lot of time, it seriously hindered the development of the family monks in other cultivation skills, and also made them lack the opportunity and time to go out and hone themselves."

"So I was thinking at the time, can we pick out some unimportant things, such as feeding and raising monsters, taking care of medicine fields and other related things, and entrust casual cultivators to do them?"

"If ordinary casual cultivators are hard to trust, we can also choose some monks from small families to do this, and even cultivate these small families into vassal families that specialize in raising animal breeds for our Zhou family!"

As expected by Zhou Chun, after hearing his suggestion, someone immediately raised a different opinion, and that person was the always conservative Second Elder Zhou Chongshan.

I saw Zhou Chongshan slowly said: "I don't think your idea is right, Zhengchun. The reason why my Zhou family let the clansmen do the work of raising monsters and taking care of the medicine field is not to save money, but to borrow money." This will hone them, let them have a clearer understanding of the habits of monsters and elixir, and be able to apply what they have learned."

"If you hire casual cultivators to do these things, not to mention the expensive spirit coins, what if they cheat the family behind their backs? What if they learn the family's animal taming skills?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Chun answer: "Of course I have thought about what the second elder said, but life is different and different. Every clansman will like this, and we, as the elders and high-level officials, don’t necessarily have to let them learn this.”

"The art of controlling beasts is certainly a feature of our Zhou family, but it can't be the only thing. For things like formations, weapon refining, alchemy, and talisman making, our Zhou family should also train some people to do it, at least they must be able to do it. Just make it on the commonly used low-level talismans, elixirs, and magic tools!"

"Second Elder, you also know that if you want to achieve success in these skills, each item will consume a lot of resources, and it will also take up a lot of monks' time."

"As for worrying about casual cultivators making trouble, we can also adopt a grading method to divide important monster populations such as red-eyed dragon vultures, dragon-clawed monitor lizards, dragon-scaled horses, aniseed water deer, and red-flame king kong monkeys into the highest level. Let the monks of the family take care of the contacts, and let the hired people take care of the rest of the ordinary monsters, so that they will not cause too much loss by doing bad things."

"And in terms of skills, there is no need to worry. Even if casual cultivators have learned some of our Zhou family's animal taming skills, so what? Can they build a beast garden to cultivate monsters like our Zhou family? Can they master beast spirits? Wan, how to refine Yaoling Pill? Can they learn my Zhou family's secret art of controlling beasts?"

"Without those secret medicines and secret techniques of my Zhou family, how could it be possible to pose a threat to my Zhou family just by learning some methods of taming monsters!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun continued: "I know that it will cost a lot to cultivate some monks who know how to form formations, alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making, but if we don't do it all the time, we won't be able to do it all the time. There will be!"

"And this time the family has gained a lot, and in the future they will be able to obtain a steady stream of income from the wilderness. I think it's time to do these things!"

After he finished speaking, Zhou Chongshan also showed a thoughtful look, thinking about what he said.

In terms of family reform, Zhou Chongshan has always seemed a little conservative, but he is not really a rigid and conservative person who does not know how to adapt.

Conservative can also be cautious, because he looks carefully at every change he makes to the family, and is very concerned about the impact of such changes on the family, which makes him appear conservative when faced with such changes.

If he thinks twice and thinks that the changes will do more good to the family than harm, then he will not oppose the changes.

Zhou Chun also understood this point in the process of dealing with him again and again.

So every time there is a change to be made, Zhou Chun will consider it from his point of view, looking for points that he can accept.

From this aspect, it is precisely because of his conservatism that Zhou Chun can do better.

At this time, Zhou Chongshan looked at the first two Supreme Elders after some thought.

Then he asked softly: "What do the two Supreme Elders think of the patriarch's idea?"

"I think what Zhengchun said makes sense. If our Zhou family wants to regain its glory in the future, we should not only focus on the three acres of land within the family, but also open our eyes to see the outside world."

"If the monks of the family can have more time to go outside, sharpen themselves, and discover their own talents, it will naturally improve the family's heritage in all aspects."

Zhou Daoyi nodded lightly, first expressing his support for Zhou Chun.

Looking at Zhou Mingde again, after slightly frowning, he also followed suit: "The old man generally agrees with what Zhengchun said, but even if the family is rich now, when cultivating those clansmen who refine alchemy and weapons, It should also be carried out slowly, and we must not act too hastily and take too big a step, so as not to waste the family's resources in vain."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Chun responded respectfully: "Yes, the younger generation must bear in mind the teachings of the Supreme Elder, and will definitely carry out this matter carefully."

Seeing this, Zhou Chongshan also nodded and said: "Since the two Supreme Elders think this is feasible, then I have no objection."

Next, Zhou Chun talked about the family's income and expenditure and some plans for future development, and then ended the meeting.

After the meeting, Zhou Chun took out those harvested Tier [-] Magical Artifacts for the elders to choose first, and the rest will be temporarily stored in the family treasury, and will be slowly sold in the future.

Now that we have just experienced a great war, because of the war, many monks have fallen, and many monks have obtained the relics of the enemy. As a result, the price of magic weapons in the square market has plummeted a lot.

The magic weapon that originally required [-] spirit coins may now be bought without [-] spirit coins.

Therefore, except for some monks who are in urgent need of spirit coins, most of the cultivating families will not choose to sell magic tools in exchange for spirit coins at this time.

And half a month after Zhou Mingde and the others returned to Zhou's house, an expected person came to Zhou's house.

"Daoyou Lin came to Zhou's house this time, is he here to spread the word for Senior Lin?"

On the pagoda peak, after Zhou Chun personally took Lin Wan'er who came to visit into the mountain gate, he asked the other party why he came.

Ever since the fourth-tier mid-grade Chihuojiao in Chilongtang was beheaded by Jin Chixuan, Zhou Mingde had been waiting for Lin Hongyu to take the initiative to contact the Zhou family.

Now more than half a month has passed, Lin Wan'er, Lin Hongyu's goddaughter, finally came to Zhou's house again.

Facing Zhou Chun's question at this time, Lin Wan'er nodded without hesitation and replied: "It is true that the godmother asked me to come, but I can only hand over the godmother's letter to Senior Zhou myself."

"Understood, that Zhou will take the fellow Taoist to meet the Supreme Elder."

Zhou Chun nodded, and immediately took Lin Wan'er to Zhou Mingde's cave on the top of the mountain.

When he arrived in the cave, Zhou Mingde was also overjoyed when he saw Lin Wan'er. After she explained his purpose of coming and handed over Lin Hongyu's letter and jade slip, he couldn't wait to take it in his hand and examine it.

He quickly read Lin Hongyu's message in the jade slips, then looked up at Lin Wan'er with a twinkle in his eyes and asked, "Miss Lin, have you met Fellow Daoist Lin?"

Lin Wan'er was also slightly taken aback when she heard what he said, and then said respectfully: "I met my godmother four days ago, and she gave this jade slip to me at that time!"

"Then take a look at the contents of this jade slip for yourself!"

Zhou Mingde said, and handed back the jade slip in his hand to Lin Wan'er.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wan'er's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she took the jade slip and looked at it.

After she finished reading the contents of the jade slips, her complexion suddenly changed and she was speechless for a long time.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour without seeing her speak out, Zhou Mingde could only speak out by himself: "This arrangement of Fellow Daoist Lin, I don't have anything to say. If Miss Lin has no intention of serving the Zhou family, the old man and the Zhou family And I won’t force fellow Taoists.”

Hearing his words, Lin Wan'er, who had been silent all this time, finally responded.

I saw him shaking his head slightly and said: "No, this junior didn't mean that. Since it was arranged by the godmother, this junior will naturally not object!"

After finishing speaking, he said in a low tone: "It's just that this junior doesn't understand. Since the godmother is going to Chengguo to recuperate her injuries, why doesn't she bring this junior with her? Even if this junior's cultivation base is low, he can still help her run errands! "

It turned out that although Lin Hongyu hadn't forgotten the benefits she had promised the Zhou family back then, she did not dare to meet Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi in private now that she was seriously injured.

So she first went to Chengguo to recuperate, and after she recovered from her injuries, she came back to meet Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, and gave them the benefits they had promised.

And maybe she wanted to win the trust of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, or she really wanted to find a place for Lin Waner to settle down, so she told her in the letter that she would stay in the Zhou family to work.

And in order to allow the Zhou family to accept Lin Wan'er with confidence, she also suggested that Lin Wan'er use Qing Jiao Qing Qing's dragon spirit blood to practice "The Secret of Transforming Dragons".
