Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 509 Thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators 【Subscription】

On the second day after Zhou Mingde left the customs, the invitations to the Golden Elixir Ceremony that had already been prepared were filled with the date and sent to various forces and individuals.

Because preparations have been made for several years in advance, this Golden Elixir Ceremony will be held three months after he leaves customs.

And just one month after he left the customs, most of the Zhou family's foundation cultivators gathered on Tuyun Ridge to attend the family meeting.

At this time, the number of monks in the Zhou family has reached 26 in the foundation building period alone!
Among them, the oldest Foundation Establishment cultivator is Zhou Zhengyuan, who is over 230 years old and may die at any time, so he did not participate in today's family meeting.

The youngest Foundation Establishment cultivator is Zhou Simu, who is 27 years old this year.

Only a 27-year-old monk of the "Si" generation, and not a monk with top-grade spiritual root qualifications, Zhou Simu is naturally a standard second-generation immortal.

His father is Zhou Xintie, the best cultivator in the Zhou family's crafting skills. He has already cultivated in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and he exchanged his personal military exploits for a Foundation Establishment Pill on the battlefield.

But he did not live up to his father's expectations. He succeeded in building the foundation once, and became the youngest foundation-building monk of the Zhou family.

At his age, coupled with the support of his parents, as long as he doesn't die halfway, he will definitely have at least one chance to attack the Zifu in the future!

This kind of thing is not an exception, and there will be more in the future.

Zhou Chun himself has nothing against this kind of thing.

Because as long as there are people, this kind of thing is inevitable.

What he can do is to try his best to provide good cultivation conditions for other ordinary people, so that they will not lag behind others too much in the initial stage.

If these ordinary clansmen can come out on top, it can only depend on their own luck!

Anyway, in the world of cultivating immortals, as long as they pass the spiritual root test, it is impossible for a true genius to be buried.

At this moment, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde were at the top, and they glanced at the Zhou Clan Zifu monks and Foundation Establishment monks who were gathered at the bottom. Their respective moods were quite complicated and they were filled with emotion.

Today, the Zhou family has a total of three Golden Core stage monks, namely Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde, and Lin Hongyu.

There are six monks in the Zifu period, namely Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Daoquan, Lin Wan'er, Zhou Zhengyong, Zhou Xinlan, and Xu Fu.

There are as many as 26 foundation cultivators, namely: Zhou Zhengyuan, Zhou Zhengqing, Zhou Xindie, Zhou Xintie, Zhou Xinyan, Zhou Xinyi, Zhou Xinheng, Zhou Xintong, Zhou Xinchen, Zhou Sizhen, Zhou Siyu, Zhou Simiao, Zhou Sijun, Zhou Sihan, Zhou Xinfu, Zhou Siming , Zhou Sipu, Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhou Yuanquan, Zhou Yuanbin, Zhou Yuanliang, Zhou Yuanxia, ​​Zhou Yuanping, Zhou Yuansheng, Zhou Yuanlian, Zhou Simu.

In addition, there are four foundation cultivators, Zhang Liang, Liu Heng, Li Qi, and Lin Rongsheng, who are driven by the control of the Zhou family.

Among them, both Zhang Liang and Lin Rongsheng were relatives who joined the Zhou family after the foundation was established.

Li Qi, like Xu Fu and Liu Heng, was successful in establishing the Yuanguo and the foundation through the meritorious service of the Zhou family dead men in the wilderness.

There are a total of 16 Zhou Family Foundation Establishment cultivators present today, and the remaining ten have no time to come due to various reasons.

At this time, after carefully observing the elites of the Zhou family who were sitting upright, Zhou Chun, the patriarch, finally spoke.

"The reason for calling all the clansmen here today, all the clansmen have been notified in advance, and they are prepared in their hearts, so I will not repeat them here."

"Now this seat announces that this family meeting has officially started!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun glanced at Zhou Xinyi, and said slowly: "Xinyi, please report the current situation of the family first!"

"Yes, this junior obeys."

Zhou Xinyi responded respectfully, then stood up, holding the documents in his hands and began to report the current situation of the Zhou family's personnel and materials.

"The Zhou family currently has three blessed lands of spiritual mountains on the bright side, namely Tuyun Ridge, Jiufeng Ridge, and Zhuye Island. Zhuye Island is the family's enclave."

"The family currently has a total of 570 monks and 140 monks with relatives, including 26 monks of the family and two monks with relatives."

"At the same time, there are currently 21 second-order monsters registered in the family."

"Currently, there are thirteen kinds of rare monsters raised by the family, namely, Horned Winged Snake, Cloud-Treading Dragon Colt, Scarlet Flame King Kong Monkey, Red Flame Dragon Python, Wind Shadow Dragon Snake, One-horned Dragon Lizard, Red-eyed Dragon Vulture, Dragon Dragon Clawed monitor lizard, dragon-scaled horse, green-faced ghost ape, iron-feathered eagle, fragrant spirit musk deer, colorful pheasant!"

"At present, there are eight kinds of rare demon insects raised by the family, namely Xuanjia Jinyu, Flying Fire Scorpion, Blue Moon Butterfly, Carrion Moth, Jasper Spirit Bee, Golden-winged Black Bee, Bixia Centipede, and Silver Silkworm."

"Currently, the family has opened up a total of 230 acres of medicinal fields, including 200 six elixir plants over 580 years old, and 750 eight elixir plants over [-] years old."

"Currently, there are eleven kinds of rare spiritual trees planted by the family, including Zhuyuan fruit tree, purple mulberry, snow jade pear, purple cloud apricot, red jujube, and green tea tree."

"In addition, the family can now produce its own second-level magic symbols, its own foundation-building monks' pills, their own second-level middle-grade magic tools, and their own high-level formations."

……

Zhou Xinyi's report was very detailed, and Zhou Chun and the others listened carefully.

The Zhou family today is no longer the Zhou family of the past.

When they first arrived in Jiufengling, the Zhou family was poor and poor. Most of the monks who had been in the family for a few years knew what was going on in the family.

But the current Zhou family not only has a large number of clan members, but also has huge assets, and the various spiritual objects they own are innumerable.

If you don't look at the information in your hands, even Zhou Xinyi, a monk who has been acting as the patriarch's affairs for a long time, can't remember all the information.

And now a lot of information is updated every year, even if he memorizes the previous data, it is difficult to match the latest data.

Just looking at these data, we can know how well the Zhou family has developed over the years.

Zhou Chun remembered that when he first arrived in Jiufengling, his family didn't have any rare spirit beasts that could be sold.

The patriarch at that time, Zhou Daoyi, gave him a rock-soil turtle egg, which made him smile all over his face.

At that time, the family's medicine field had not yet been developed. After returning to the family, he personally participated in the development and sowing of the medicine field.

However, after nearly 200 years of development, the Zhou family already has as many as thirteen species of rare monsters. It is not possible to say that every member of the clan can own one of these rare monsters, which can ensure that those outstanding clansmen have one of these A rare monster, but it is not a big problem.

You know, what can be called a population means that they have managed to reproduce within the Zhou family and have the ability to reproduce.

In fact, the Zhou family still has many other rare monsters that cannot form a population.

Let's talk about the elixir, the elixir seeds that Zhou Chun and his two generations sowed with their own hands back then have become century-old elixir that have not been picked.

As long as these elixirs don't move, they can grow into elixirs with an age of more than 300 years in two or three hundred years.

At that time, they will become a very valuable asset of the Zhou family!

And the monks present all knew that the data reported by Zhou Xinyi today had reservations, and it was not the whole situation of the Zhou family.

There is no public data on the mines and blessed land in the wilderness, as well as the servant monks trained by the Zhou family there.

These are the hidden powers of the Zhou family, and only the real high-level members of the family can know and grasp them.

At this moment, the many Zhou family monks who had listened to Zhou Xinyi's report were extremely restless.

Cultivators like Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun and others who have personally experienced the entire process of growing from nothing, felt a sense of satisfaction and pride surge in their hearts at this moment.

Because the Zhou family's current foundation was built up bit by bit from scratch, and it was soaked in their sweat and blood.

They are just like parents raising children, watching their children grow up day by day, and finally become a successful person who has achieved great success!

The sense of satisfaction and pride in this kind of harvest is more satisfying and satisfying than they get a powerful magic weapon or some kind of precious spiritual object.

Can't help it, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun and others all smiled, sincerely happy for the Zhou family's current achievements.

And those Zhou family foundation-building monks of the younger generation, although they have not fully experienced the establishment process of the Zhou family from scratch, they have also witnessed and participated in the great revival of the Zhou family, and they also have a sense of participation in it.

Now that they found out that the Zhou family's family property has become so strong and the family business is so prosperous, they are equally excited, proud and full of pride.

They are proud of being monks of the Zhou family!
Although immortal cultivators are relatively selfish, people are emotional animals after all. Many times, for a certain emotion, even those monks in the Nascent Soul stage who have lived for a thousand years will spare their lives to protect certain things.

It's like the real Qingxiao who has fallen, in order to protect the Taoist inheritance of Qinglian Temple, he could have lived a few more years, but he chose to blow up the Yuanying to blow up the space transmission channel.

On the side of the Zhou family, when the monks of the Zhou family are really proud of their surname and blood, then when the family is in danger, when the family needs them, most of them can protect their hearts. Go hard with pride!

Just like the Jiang family, the cultivating family that was destroyed by the Zhou family at the beginning, when facing the crisis of destroying the family, there are also clan members who are loyal to the family and dare to swing their swords at the powerful enemy!

Therefore, when Zhou Chun saw the gleam in the eyes and the expressions on the faces of the juniors below, he couldn't help nodding in his heart, feeling even more satisfied and happy.

People's hearts are available!
He sighed in his heart, his face gradually calmed down, and he said in a calm tone: "After Xinyi's report just now, I think you all know the general situation of the family."

"It's no exaggeration to say that my Zhou family can secure the seat of the Jindan family even with this family background!"

"And these are accumulated through the hard work of several generations of the family. They are precious wealth that can be passed on to future generations!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun paused slightly, and then said again: "It's just that you should also know that if you sit and eat mountains and empty mountains, then the gold and silver mountains will also be eaten up one day. If we indulge in the achievements of the past and lose If you are aggressive and only satisfied with the status quo, then the wealth and prosperity in front of you will be like a passing cloud, and it will disappear in a short time!"

Hearing his words, the Zhou family monks sitting below were all shocked and calmed down quickly.

Then I heard Zhou Chun continue to say: "The current family background is indeed quite solid, but you also know that the number of monks in the family has also increased many times, and there has also been a substantial increase in middle and high-level monks compared to before."

"To support so many family monks, and to cultivate them well, the money and resources that need to be consumed are not a small amount!"

"Especially as you all know, the prices in the entire world of heaven, spirit and earth are abnormal. Many businesses of the family have been affected and their income has dropped sharply."

"Up to now, the family's annual expenditure has exceeded their income, and they have fallen into a situation where they cannot make ends meet!"

When he said this, Zhou Chun's tone became a lot heavier.

And the smiles on the faces of everyone in the hall have disappeared.

Feelings can't be eaten, this is an easy-to-understand truth.

The youngest Zhou family monk who can attend here today is 27 years old, no one will understand this truth.

They are bragging about how prosperous the Zhou family is now. If they can't even send out welfare offerings to the clansmen, how can they make people really love and be loyal to the clan!
No matter how loud the slogan is on the lips, it is not true to give out money!

So when they knew that the Zhou family's current finances had begun to make ends meet, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

And Zhou Chun also looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Before this seat, someone has notified you to ask you to think about how to generate income for the family. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

"If you have any ideas, you can speak up, no matter whether it is feasible or not, you can give me and others some reference!"

After hearing his words, the scene fell into a brief silence.

Then I heard Zhou Xinlan say: "The younger generation thinks that the current family has a large number of people, but the spiritual land they occupy is relatively small. If it is possible, we should open up a new spiritual land to divert the clansmen. The land of cultivation in the spiritual land and the cultivation of elixir to gain income!"

As soon as this remark came out, many Zhou family monks couldn't help but nodded, obviously agreeing with it.

But Zhou Xinyi quickly shook his head and said: "Of course it is a good thing to open up a new spiritual land, but it is impossible for the new spiritual land to provide income for the family and resolve the urgent need!"

As he spoke, he explained: "Now Yasukuni and the surrounding countries have lost a large number of monks due to the war. It's just that no one will come to practice in each stronghold, but it's not that they can't make room!"

After hearing his explanation, Zhou Xinlan also fell silent, as if she acquiesced to his statement.

But with Zhou Xinlan taking the initiative, the others have nothing to worry about.

So Zhou Xinyan in the foundation cultivator also quickly said: "How about increasing the courier fee of the 'Zhou Tong Tianxia' firm? The current courier fee is so low, I think the price increase should be one-fifth or even one-third." It is feasible, and we can even try to launch express delivery business in other countries!"

He seems to have done relevant investigations, but his tone is quite tough and confident now.

And Zhou Xinyi nodded slightly at this time and said: "This method is not impossible. Many things are increasing in price now, and express delivery is a business monopolized by our family. Even if someone is dissatisfied with an appropriate price increase, it should not be able to afford it." Here come the waves."

In fact, he also thought about this method, and submitted Zhou Chun's instructions.

It's just that Zhou Chun was not in a hurry to make a decision at the time, but asked to wait until the family meeting.

He also knew Zhou Chun's intentions in doing so.

It's nothing more than wanting more senior members of the family to participate in making suggestions for the family, so as to avoid some kind of monopoly in the family.

Although he didn't understand the significance of Zhou Chun's actions, as a junior and subordinate, he just had to watch honestly.

So at this time, not only did he not come out to claim credit, but he also gave some support to Zhou Xinyan's suggestion.

Sure enough, after seeing that Zhou Xinyi thought there was nothing wrong with it, most of the others also nodded in approval of Zhou Xinyan's suggestion.

This brought a smile to Zhou Xinyan's face, and a sense of satisfaction of being recognized surged in his heart.

This also aroused the desire of other Zhou family monks to express themselves. No matter whether the suggestions were approved or not, they all put forward their own suggestions and opinions.

This is the effect Zhou Chun wanted.

He didn't want to hold any democratic symposiums or democratic voting meetings, he just wanted to let these elite people who usually devote themselves to cultivation get in touch with some family management affairs and give them a sense of participation.

People like Zhou Mingde may not understand the role of this sense of participation, but Zhou Chun understands how important it is.

When those clansmen participated in the formulation of family rules and the decision-making of major family affairs, even if they only participated, they would wholeheartedly support the family.

Furthermore, the people who will be responsible for the management of family affairs in the Zhou family will have to be selected from among these people. Now that they are more involved in the decision-making of major family affairs, their level can be better seen.

Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, why not do it!

At this time, everyone worked together, and Zhou Chun and Zhou Xinyi appropriately proposed some good ways to negotiate, and it can be regarded as a lot of ways to increase income and reduce expenditure.

After discussing like this for a period of time, Zhou Chunyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's end the discussion on how to generate income for the family and cut expenses first, and then let's talk about the revision of the family rules."

"Many of the current family rules were established when the family was weak to protect itself. They can no longer keep up with the current development of the family. They will only severely restrict the life and practice of the clansmen, and cause complaints among the clansmen! "

"So the matter of revising the family rules is an urgent matter, and the sooner it is done, the better!"

After hearing his words, the monks of the Zhou family in the hall suddenly looked serious.

In the Zhou family, the family rules are the law, so amending the family rules is like amending the law, and everyone understands the importance of it.

In the face of such an important event, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious!

But just when everyone was concentrating on listening to Zhou Chun say how the family rules should be revised, he suddenly changed the subject and said suddenly: "Before talking about the family rules that should be revised, I am also here with the Supreme Elder. Discussed about rearranging the status of the family monks in the family, and temporarily decided on a plan, let's see if we agree."

As soon as this remark came out, many of those monks in the Foundation Establishment period suddenly changed their expressions slightly, as if they realized something.

And the Zifu monks like Zhou Daoquan and Zhou Zhengyong sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without changing their expressions.

And Zhou Chun didn't seem to see the change in the expressions of the people next to him.

Still thinking about himself, he said: "In the past, the highest cultivator of the Zifu period in the family was the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, so the rule that the Zifu period monks were the Supreme Elders and the Foundation Establishment period monks were the family elders was established."

"But now the family has three monks in the golden core stage, six monks in the purple mansion stage, and as many as 30 monks in the foundation stage. The previous set of rules is obviously not feasible, and it needs to be reformed. OK!"

"Thus, after discussing with the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, I have decided that the standard of the Supreme Elder will be raised to the Jindan Stage, the standard of the Elder will be raised to the Zifu Stage, and the clan members of the Foundation Establishment Stage will be changed to core clan members. It is a tribe with excellent spiritual root aptitude, especially talented in skills, who can be promoted to an elite tribe as appropriate, and the rest of the tribe are ordinary tribesmen!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun did not look at the drastic changes in the expressions of those monks in the foundation-building period, and continued to say: "Of course, although the tribesmen in the foundation-building period no longer have the status of elders, their treatment naturally cannot be completely in accordance with the previous treatment of the core tribe. Distributed, this seat's opinion is that it can be reduced by a quarter of the original basis!"

Hearing that the salary was only reduced by a quarter, the faces of those monks in the Foundation Establishment period looked a little better, but they still had a mournful face.

After all, Zhou Chun's plan, whether it's face or face, cut them severely.

They were passionately discussing how to open source and earn spirit coins before, but they never imagined that the first knife to save money would be cut on them!

But in fact, all knowledgeable Zhou Family Foundation Establishment cultivators know that this knife will come sooner or later!

After all, no Golden Core family would have dozens of "elders"!
It's just that cutting their welfare offerings is something that some of them didn't think of.

But in fact, from Zhou Chun's point of view, most of these family foundation-building monks succeeded in building the foundation because of the honor of the family.

If the family hadn't made it easier for them to obtain spiritual objects such as Foundation Establishment Pill and Yuanyuan Fruit in various ways, many of them would have never been able to succeed in Foundation Establishment.

Including that their spiritual pets can be promoted to the second level, and they also obtained related spiritual objects from the family in a relatively easy way
Since their foundation-building process has been so honored by the family, it should now reduce some of their welfare offerings in order to ease the financial pressure on the family.

What's more, even after the reduction, their welfare offerings will not be much worse than that of other Jindan family foundation-establishing monks.

And relying on their cultivation strength during the foundation building period, and relying on the platform of the Zhou family, as long as they are willing to spend a little bit, they can earn enough for the reduced part of the welfare offerings in other aspects.

"This is the initial plan of this seat. If you feel that there is something wrong with it, you can bring it up now."

When Zhou Chun said this, he glanced at the people in the hall indifferently, and said nothing.
