Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 259 Honoring the elder, Zhou Chongshan's last words 【Subscription】

Lin Hongyu did not fulfill the previous agreement as promised and sent the promised treasure to the Zhou family. This really disappointed Zhou Mingde who had been looking forward to it.

However, Lin Wan'er's stay made up for it a little.

Lin Wan'er's stay in the Zhou family was not only to allow the Zhou family to have one more foundation-building stage cultivator available, but also meant that the information line she had mastered would also be used by the Zhou family.

According to Lin Wan'er's own account, the intelligence line that she was assigned by Lin Hongyu to take charge of the establishment now has twelve core members and 34 peripheral members.

Among them, the twelve backbones were all monks trained by Lin Hongyu and her support, and they were people who could turn them into combatants at any time.

As for the 34 peripheral members, they can also use money and treasures to make them fight.

With the Hualong Cult being severely damaged and she was out of the cage, Lin Hongyu didn't want to spend resources to support this information line anymore, so she handed it along with Lin Wan'er to the Zhou family, which was also one of the rewards she gave to the Zhou family. one.

The Zhou family happens to be short of people right now, and this intelligence line is undoubtedly a powerful supplement for the Zhou family.

Therefore, when Lin Wan'er chose to follow Lin Hongyu's arrangement to stay at Zhou's house, Zhou Mingde immediately expressed that he would continue to hand over this information line to her to manage, and give her full support in terms of financial resources.

And Lin Wan'er was also very up-to-date, not only quickly handed over the intelligence materials of those core members and peripheral members to the Zhou family, but also quickly went to Zhou Daoyi to receive the dragon's blood, and practiced "The Secret of Transforming Dragons" ".

But when Lin Wan'er started to practice "Secrets of Transforming Dragons" in retreat on Pagoda Peak, Zhou Chun found Zhou Mingde and talked about her identity arrangement.

"It's certainly a great thing for Fellow Daoist Lin to join the Zhou family, but what kind of status should the family arrange for her?"

The Zhou family is no longer a small family. There is an extra foundation-building monk in the family for no reason. This matter must not be hidden from the monks in the family, nor can it be hidden from outsiders.

So how to arrange the identity for Lin Wan'er also made Zhou Chun have a difficult time.

The elders of the Zhou family can only be served by monks in the foundation period of their own family, and even ordinary monks in the foundation period may not be able to serve as elders in the future.

It is definitely inappropriate for Lin Wan'er to be the elder of Zhou's family.

But her cultivation base in the foundation building period is still there. If she is not an elder, the current status system of the Zhou family has no status that is more suitable for her.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun thought about it for a long time but failed to think about it, he could only ask Zhou Mingde.

Hearing Zhou Chun's words at this time, Zhou Mingde was also a little stumped, not knowing how to answer.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Zhou Chun and said softly: "Do you want to set up a position as an elder guest in the family? This position is equal to the elders of the family in terms of treatment and status, but they do not have voting rights in the elders meeting of the family." , not to be invited or to attend the family elder meeting."

Elder Ke Qing?
Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback, and thought about it carefully before he thought of the origin of this position.

Generally, there are no guest elders in the Xiuxian family. This position is generally only established by those Xiuxian sects, and it is only set up for high-ranking monks who are very close to the sect.

For example, there are several Keqing elders in Qinglian Temple, and those Keqing elders are all Jindan period monks of the Jindan family.

These Jindan aristocratic families were either established by the disciples of Qinglian Temple, or many members of the family have joined Qinglian Temple in the past, and they have a very deep relationship with Qinglian Temple.

In this case, in order to win over these Jindan stage monks, Qinglian Temple will hire them as elders of Keqing, so that they can enjoy some treatment of the elders of Qinglian Temple.

Thinking of this, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "If you call Elder Ke Qing, I'm afraid that outsiders will find out by then, and it will only make a joke, and Fellow Daoist Lin himself may not be willing."

"From the perspective of the younger generation, how about changing the name to honorary elder? You have the honorary title of elder, but you don't participate in the management of the family's internal affairs!"

"Honorary Elder?"

Zhou Mingde was stunned for a moment, and said the words "Honorary Elder", and then said with a smile on his face: "Very well, this title of Honorary Elder is quite appropriate, then we should set up an honorary elder position in the family." All right!"

Seeing that he agreed, Zhou Chun immediately said: "Since the Supreme Elder agrees, then this junior will inform the whole family first, and then ask the Supreme Elder to personally confer this honor on him after Elder Lin leaves the customs."

"Yes, when the time comes, the old man and the Daoyi Society will confer this honor on Fellow Daoist Lin."

Zhou Mingde nodded, and agreed without hesitation.

After Zhou Chun left his cave, he quickly announced the matter.

The family suddenly had an extra foundation-building monk, and a special title of "Honorary Elder" was set up for him. This incident really aroused the curiosity of many members of the Zhou family.

Many people went to Zhou Chun and his acquainted elders to inquire about the origin of this elder with a different surname, and some people asked how to treat this elder with courtesy.

Zhou Chun had already communicated with Zhou Jiarui and other elders who had met Lin Wan'er in advance, so it was a unified reply at this time.

According to him, Lin Wan'er was a casual cultivator who grew up in Yunzhou, because she knew that it was difficult to cultivate alone, so she wanted to find a family to join her.

And because of the excellent performance of the Zhou family in this war, and because Zhou Mingde accidentally saved her life back then, she decided to join the Zhou family.

There are also some casual cultivators in the foundation-building period who have taken refuge in the Xiuxian family like this, so this reply is easy to win people's trust.

As for how the monks of the family address Lin Wan'er, they will naturally call them Elder Lin.

After all, the Zhou family currently only has one elder named Lin!
Lin Wan'er herself is indeed excellent, and she completed the introductory cultivation of "Secrets of Transforming Dragons" in only twelve days.

You must know that Zhou Chun was able to complete the introductory cultivation of "Secrets of Transforming Dragons" in three days, it was because the top-level kung fu "Golden Cauldron Mysterious Kungfu" he practiced had a strong tempering and strengthening effect on the physical body.

However, Lin Wan'er did not practice the top-level exercises that can temper the body, but she was able to complete the introductory training of "Secrets of Dragon Transformation" within twelve days, which is also a very good performance in the Dragon Transformation Sect.

When she successfully practiced "The Secret of Transforming Dragons" using Qingjiaoqingqing's dragon spirit blood as a medium, she was officially bound to the Zhou family.

Therefore, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi soon conferred on her the title of "Honorary Elder" of the Zhou family in front of dozens of Zhou family's qi refining stage monks.

At the same time, with the official joining of Lin Wan'er, the number of foundation-building monks owned by the Zhou family has reached eight.

Zhou Chun also gave Lin Wan'er a new task at this time, that is to be in charge of training Xu Fu and other dead servants adopted by the Zhou family.

Lin Wan'er herself is engaged in intelligence work, and she is very experienced in training monks. Her wilderness survival experience is unmatched by anyone in the Zhou family.

It is undoubtedly the most suitable for her to train those monks who will be sent to Longxing Valley to open up wilderness strongholds in the future.

After another month passed like this, Zhou Chongshan finally restored the Zhou family's mountain-protecting formation "Five-Fang Miluo Formation".

When the formation was restored and passed the start-up test, Zhou Chongshan suddenly said to the happy Zhou family seniors: "This is the last time I will contribute to the family. I already have a feeling that my time is approaching. From now on, I will quietly sort out the formation experience of this life in my residence, if there is nothing important, don't bother me any more!"

"I admire you..."

Zhou Mingde's complexion changed slightly, he looked at Zhou Chongshan, but he didn't know what to say.

There is an upper limit to the lifespan of a person, and immortals are no exception.

Zhou Chongshan didn't have much lifespan in the first place, and he was severely injured in the battle of the Southern Expedition, which aggravated the loss of vitality. It is already considered very good to be able to survive until now.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the number of days, and I have long been bearish on this matter."

Zhou Chongshan shook his head lightly, indicating that there is no need to say more comforting words.

Then he sighed in a low voice: "Besides, I have lived for more than 200 years, and this life is not in vain. It's just a pity that I can no longer continue to serve the family. I have seen the family rebuild its glory with my own eyes!"

He never married in his life, and he was obsessed with the way of formation all his life. Before Zuo Hua passed away, he was most concerned about his family.

Although the situation of the Zhou family is getting better and better, if there is no golden core stage monk for a day, there can be no ZTE.

It is his greatest regret that he cannot see the Zhou family rejuvenated and regain their glory.

At this moment, listening to his affectionate words, Zhou Chun on the side couldn't help but whispered: "Second Elder, all the members of the family have seen the efforts you have made for the family and the achievements you have made. ,In mind!"

"As long as this mountain guard formation is still there, as long as the Zhou family is still there, you will always live in our hearts!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chongshan suddenly smiled, very happily.

He reached out and patted Zhou Chun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy with what you said, Zhengchun, and I'm even more glad that Zhou's family can have such an excellent clansman like you. Under the leadership of the elders and the others, my Zhou family will definitely be able to rebuild its glory and get back everything that once belonged to us!"

"Most definitely!"

Zhou Chun nodded vigorously, his tone extremely firm.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Chongshan couldn't help his eyes flickering slightly, then he collected himself and said solemnly: "There are some things that I wanted to say to you Zhengchun before I died, but it's rare that the Supreme Elder and the others are all present today. , I don’t know if I can see you then, so I’ll tell you first today!”

"Second Elder, please speak, this junior is all ears!"

Curiosity flashed in Zhou Chun's eyes, and he also wanted to know what Zhou Chongshan was about to say with such a solemn expression.

Even Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi and the others at the side showed curiosity.

"Zhengchun, there is no doubt about your ability, and no one will doubt your loyalty to the family, but you always take some steps too far in the changes you make to the family, giving people a feeling of rushing for success. It's actually very bad!"

"Families are different from individuals. Individuals who stride too far will hurt themselves at most, but families who stride too far will hurt the whole family!"

"In the past, you were only the deputy patriarch. You were eager to express yourself and prove yourself. These are all understandable, and even if you are wrong, we elders can remind you to correct you."

"But you are now the patriarch, even if it is some decisions made by the two elders, it is not easy to object and deny at will."

"Once you really make a mistake and cause the family to suffer losses, it will not only be your dereliction of duty, but it will also make the people of the clan doubt you, and even doubt the Supreme Elder!"

"And you have to know that if a family wants to develop steadily and upwardly, trust and unity are the most important. Once the clan members have doubts and distrust of the family's senior management, no matter how many other advantages the family has, it will be difficult to move forward. !"

"So sometimes it's not terrible to walk slowly, but the terrible thing is to take the wrong road, and that will only lead to further and further distance from the end point!"

"I hope you can keep this in mind. When you want to make any changes to the family in the future, you must listen to other people's ideas, preferably from the monks under the family. Don't just think that you are doing it for the family. For the good of the family, for the good of other clansmen, you can do it regardless of other people's feelings!"

When Zhou Chongshan said this, he paused for a while, then glanced at Zhou Chun who seemed to be touched by his words, and continued: "Second point, I hope you can spend more time on personal cultivation in the future, and you can spend more time on family affairs. Give it to other elders or deacons to share some. Although your personal qualifications are not very good, but since you have successfully practiced top-level exercises, you are the most promising person in the family to form alchemy in the future, and you must be worthy of the hardships you have suffered for this."

"The third point, I hope you can think about the matter of the Taoist couple. If you don't plan to never marry for the rest of your life like me, then find a Taoist couple who can make progress together and go hand in hand. If you can leave a few for the Zhou family A descendant with good talent, that would be even better!"

After saying this, Zhou Chongshan didn't wait for Zhou Chun to think clearly about how to answer himself, he just waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's all I want to tell you, as for whether you listen to me, it's up to you to decide , I’ll go back first.”

Then he flew alone to Zhenxuan Peak where he practiced.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hurriedly said: "The younger generation will remember the words of the second elder, and the younger generation will definitely think seriously about the elder's warning!"

At this time, Zhou Mingde also took advantage of the situation and said: "What Chongshan said is indeed from the bottom of his heart. Zhengchun, you really should think more about your own personal practice and marriage!"

"Yes, this junior will seriously consider it."

Zhou Chun responded without arguing.

He has his own plan for his life, even if it is the advice of these elders, he will listen to it as a reference.

What to do, he has his own choice.

After more than a month passed like this, the three major sects finally made a clear statistics of the military exploits of the various cultivating families during the war, drew up relevant rewards, and announced the death compensation standard and other things along the way.
