end of december.

On this day, a copper bell sounded from the top of Lingxiao Mountain.

Ling Pengyun, who was practicing hard in a quiet room in a courtyard halfway up Lingxiao Mountain, heard this sound and immediately opened his eyes.

"It's the end of the year, and the bronze bell symbolizing discussion on the top of the mountain rings. It should be a call for the top leaders of the clan to participate in the year-end summary meeting."

Because Ling Pengyun went to the General Affairs Hall to purchase the Spirit Gathering Pill half a year ago, Ling Jinxian, the steward of the General Affairs Hall and the eldest elder of the Ling family, told Ling Pengyun, the new member of the family, that he must go to the conference hall to attend the year-end summary meeting at the end of the year.

In addition, Ling Pengyun also agreed to the matter, so he did not delay too much. He immediately stood up and walked out of the quiet room, walking along a cobblestone path towards the top of the mountain.

Before reaching the top of the mountain, Ling Pengyun saw from a distance that the great elder of the Ling family, Ling Jinxian, was standing outside the light curtain protecting the top of the mountain.

When Ling Pengyun saw this, he had some guesses in his mind and quickened his pace.

After a while, he walked up to Ling Ruxian.

"The eleventh great-grandfather." Ling Pengyun said hello first and then asked.

"This is you?"

"I'm waiting for you here. You just joined Foundation Establishment not long ago, and you are in seclusion most of the time. The family has not had time to call on the other elders in the clan to appoint you to a position, and there is no elder token. In order to prevent you from having difficulty entering the top of the mountain. , as soon as the conference bell on the top of the mountain rings, I will wait here specially for you to enter together." Ling Jin smiled first and explained.

After saying this, Ling Jinxian relied on the elder's token hanging on his waist to form a secret method, and opened a small opening on the huge light curtain protecting the top of the mountain, which was just enough for people to pass through.

Ling Pengyun and Ling Ruxian also followed this small opening, followed the elder's token to open a trail on the top of the mountain filled with clouds and mist, and entered the meeting hall.

As soon as the two people entered the conference hall, Ling Yunhong, who had been waiting in the conference hall and was sitting at the head of the long table of the conference hall, pointed to the seat on his left hand side and said hello.

"Peng Yun, you sit in the chief position on the left, and the chief position on the right belongs to Peng Xing."

When Ling Pengyun heard this, he looked along the place pointed by Ling Yunhong and his expression moved slightly.

The position of this chairperson's table is very particular.

The higher the position, the higher the status.

"Third Grandfather." Ling Pengyun had already entered the foundation building, but he had not yet decided what was wrong with him taking that position. He first cupped his hands to Ling Yunhong, who was sitting at the head of the speaker's table, and then called out. Go to the chief position on the left pointed by Ling Yunhong.

After sitting in this position, I waited for a while.

Ling Pengxing, who is also a new founder in the mountain, and the fifth elder Ling Yunxi, recently went to various major markets and markets to deliver spiritual objects to the shop where the family started. The sixth elder Ling Yunqian, who has just returned to the clan mountain, has arrived. , Ling Yunhong, who was sitting in the main seat of the conference hall, also spoke.

"Now that everyone is here, the year-end conference will officially begin."

The Ling family originally had six elders, and the other three elders had their own affairs and were away from the clan all year round.

"At this year-end meeting, the first priority is to appoint Peng Yun, who has just joined Foundation Establishment, as the second supreme elder in the clan."

"This position does not involve in the management of family affairs on weekdays, but it has the same power as the patriarch of the clan like me and Pengxing. The three of us are equal and there is no need to distinguish between superior and inferior."

"As for Peng Yun's offerings, they are the same as Peng Xing's, six second-level low-grade spirit-gathering pills every year."

"I don't know, do you agree with this?"

As a foundation-building monk, Ling Pengyun is fully qualified to serve as the family's supreme elder.

Not to mention the annual offering of six spirit-gathering pills. Although six spirit-gathering pills are worth 1000 or two hundred spirit stones in the outside world, with Ling Yunhong, a second-level alchemist here, he only needs to spend money to refine this pill. Spiritual materials such as spiritual stones are enough.

As soon as Ling Yunhong asked this question, the supreme elder Ling Pengxing, the great elder Ling Ruxian, the fifth elder Ling Yunxi, and the sixth elder Ling Yunqian in the meeting hall all expressed their agreement.

Ling Pengxing was appointed as the family's supreme elder a year ago, at the end of the year he entered the foundation.

As for Ling Yunqian, who had just returned to the clan, because he was the sixth elder of the family, Ling Jinxian informed Ling Pengyun about the successful foundation building not long after returning to the clan.

Therefore, at this time, he was not surprised.

Ling Yunhong, who was in the main seat, saw that everyone agreed and felt quite satisfied.

He also took out a token from his storage bag with the word "Tai Shang" engraved on the front and the word "Ling" engraved on the back, as well as a token filled with small characters, and handed it to Ling Pengyun who was sitting on his left. , opened his mouth and introduced.

"Peng Yun, this Supreme Elder Token is your status symbol. What is written on the white paper is the method that inspires the Supreme Elder Token to open and protect the formation light curtain. With this Two things, you can also enter and exit the top of the mountain at will.”

"And you can also rely on the Supreme Elder Token to order the family monks when necessary."

Ling Pengyun stretched out his hand to take the Supreme Elder's token, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and thought to himself.

"I don't know how happy my parents and my fifteenth great-grandfather will be when they know that I have broken through to foundation building and become a supreme elder."

After he broke through the foundation building, he fell into seclusion, and he did not have the time to tell the good news to his parents and Ling Ruishui, who was close to Ling Pengyun and ranked No. 15 in his generation.

When she thought of Ling entering the water, Ling Pengyun was so happy that she became a little depressed.

"Calculating the age of the fifteenth great-grandfather, he should be about 110 years old. And eight years ago, when I was stationed at Qingshi Mountain, the cultivation level of the fifteenth great-grandfather had already begun to pass."

"His lifespan is probably running out."

"After this meeting, we have to go find the eleventh great-grandfather to see if the clan can recruit another clan member to take over the fifteenth-great-grandfather's place and take over the store opened by the family in Yunwu Market, so that the fifteenth-great-grandfather can escape. Return to the clan.”

Just as Ling Pengyun was distracted, the leader of the clan, Ling Yunhong, also spoke again at this time.

"Now that the first thing is done, it's time to talk about the second thing."

"More than two months ago, Yang Changxing, the supreme elder of the Yang family in Pingyun Mountain, came to look for me." "His main purpose this time was to attract me and the Immortal Crane King who was in the early stages of foundation building at the end of the family. , there is also a new Foundation Builder in the clan, and there are three Foundation Builders in total. Together, they enter the realm of Jiao Python Lake to hunt monster beasts that have reached the Perfect Stage of Foundation Establishment, in order to obtain the inner elixir of the monster beast that has completed the Foundation Establishment, and refine the Bailing Gate. Unique Xiaobailing Water.”

"After the completion of the matter, in addition to giving me, Ling, a piece of Xiaobailing water for free, the Yang family will also sell three protective pills that also have the effect of assisting foundation building at the low price of 3000 yuan of spirit stones for one pulse protection pill. The pulse pill is sold to our Ling family."

"As for hunting down the foundation-building perfection monster, Yang Changxing is also somewhat confident. He has understood the art of returning to ruins with flames recorded in the Yang family's flame-fire returning to ruins art to the state of perfection, and has the ability to transcend levels. When we have the opportunity to kill the enemy, the three foundation builders from my Ling clan can just assist."

"However, this matter is too big, and it does not involve me alone. It is extremely dangerous, and I did not agree immediately at the time. This time I am speaking out and want to ask you what you think about this?"

"After all, the Little Bailing Water and the Pulse Protection Pill are both rare treasures for me, the Ling family."

On the market, the value of a second-level high-grade pulse protection pill is about 5000 to [-] yuan of spiritual stones, and the price may fluctuate.

The Great Elder Ling Jinxian frowned, thought about it carefully, and then said.

"Yang's Flame Return to Ruins technique is no weaker than the Blue Sea Heavenly Sword recorded in our Ling's Blue Sea Manual. It is indeed possible that it can kill enemies across levels."

"It's just that I, the Ling clan, need to contribute to the three foundation builders this time. Except for you who have reached the middle stage of foundation establishment and have some ability to protect yourself from the monsters who have completed the foundation establishment, the other two are not very strong."

"Although the Fairy Crane King has been in the foundation building for a while, he can only fight once or twice with the monsters in the middle stage of the foundation building."

"Peng Yun and Peng Xing, who still need to participate in the battle, have just joined the Foundation Establishment not long ago and are not very strong. No matter who of the two participates in the battle to kill the Foundation Establishment Perfect Monster, there will definitely be great consequences. Danger."

Hearing this, Ling Yunhong said helplessly.

"Of course I know the dangers involved, but the reward offered by Yang's family is not low. Although the small white spirit water and the three pulse protection pills sold to us at a low price can only increase the probability of half a monk breaking through the foundation building, but For me, the Ling clan, it can be considered a good foundation-building spiritual object."

"In addition, many talents have emerged from Pengzi's generation, such as Pengcheng, who is ranked ninth, Penglin, who is ranked tenth, Pengliang, who is No.16, Pengshan, who is No.20, and Penglin, who is No.20. Seven's Pengqiu and these five people are all very talented, and they all have at least three spiritual roots."

"Alchemy is now popular in the family. There are sufficient elixir resources in the family. With the help of this batch of elixirs supported by the family's elixirs, the cultivation of these five qualified Peng clan members will surely improve by leaps and bounds."

"If nothing else happens, these five people will be able to improve their cultivation to Qi practice perfection before the age of 60, which is the best time for foundation building."

"These five children are about the same age. When the time comes, given the financial resources of the clan, it may be difficult to provide foundation-building spiritual items for these five children at the same time."

"Uncle Eleven, do you want to see that these five children, like you and the Eighteenth Brother, have reached the perfection of Qi training before the age of 60, but they have no foundation-building spiritual objects to complement them. Don’t dare to build the foundation, and end up regretting it for the rest of your life?”

Ling Yunhong had killed dozens of foundation-building monsters, so he naturally understood the difficulty of killing the foundation-building monsters. However, the family's predicament in the coming ten years and decades was already very clear. As the leader of the clan, he had to stand up.

If not, the family will be like a small qi-training family, burying their talents.

As soon as Ling Yunhong's words came out, a look of regret suddenly appeared on the faces of the elder Ling Ruxian, who was ranked No. 11 in his generation, and Ling Yunqian, who was ranked No. 18 in his generation.

The two of them were originally the most qualified among their peers in the family. They had already improved their cultivation to the level of perfect Qi training early on. However, due to the fact that their family was still a small Qi training family decades ago, even if they had enough spiritual skills, Stone, but still dare not buy the foundation-building spiritual objects. Without the help of the foundation-building spiritual objects, breaking through the foundation-building alone will lead to death.

Why you dare not buy a foundation-building spiritual object is also very simple. Even the cheapest second-class foundation-building spiritual object Pulse Protection Pill is worth at least 5000 to 2000 yuan of spiritual stones, while the market price of a second-class low-grade magic weapon is About [-] to [-] Yuan Lingshi.

Such temptations, in the era when demonic cultivators were rampant, when the Ling family was still a small qi-practicing family, how could they dare to reveal their wealth.

Ling Ruxian and Ling Yunqian could only watch as they grew older and older. Even today, even if there are foundation-building spiritual objects, it is impossible to build a foundation.

Not a day went by that the two of them did not regret that they were not as decisive as Ling Yunhong when they were young and directly tried to break through the foundation alone.

If you succeed, you will build a foundation; if you fail, you will die.

As for the fifth elder Ling Yunxi who is also here, she is different from Ling Ruxian and Ling Yunqian. She relied on the formation to reach the first-level mid-level. She plays an important role in the family and was appointed as an elder. Her cultivation qualifications are not strong. It was only a few years ago that I achieved a breakthrough in Qi training.

At that time, she was already over [-] years old, even over [-] years old, so she didn't have that big regret about foundation building.

Seeing that none of the three elders, Ling Ruxian, Ling Yunqian, and Ling Yunxi, were trying to dissuade Ling Yunhong, Ling Yunhong looked at Ling Pengyun and asked.

"Peng Yun, have you finished refining the mixed rock shield I gave you at the beginning of the year?"

"It has been sacrificed." Ling Pengyun nodded lightly.

"That's good. This time, I will follow Yang Changxing of the Yang family into the realm of Jiao Python Lake to hunt down the foundation-building perfect monster. In addition to me and the Fairy Crane King who must be involved, there is also a foundation-building monk who needs to be dispatched. I I plan to ask you to go with me, would you like to?" Ling Yunhong asked.

Before Ling Pengyun could respond, Ling Pengxing on the side spoke with a sad look on his face.

"Third uncle, the eighth brother has only been in the foundation building for a year and has not much strength. Not only have I been in the foundation building for a year before the eighth brother, but I have also already refined the metal two-pointer that you gave me a year ago. The strength of the lower-grade flying sword has greatly increased, and when combined with my martial arts, its combat power is enough to defeat ordinary monks on the third level of foundation building. Let me go, letting the eighth brother go will only increase his danger."

Ling Yunhong, who was sitting at the head of the long table in the meeting hall, was relieved when he saw this.

When faced with danger, it is a good thing that Ling Pengxing can stand up and have the idea of ​​​​replacing Ling Pengyun.

Ling Yunhong explained. "Peng Xing, Peng Yun is different from you. The second-level low-grade mixed rock shield he masters is a defensive magic weapon, and the skills that Peng Yun has practiced last a long time. Although he has not been in Foundation Establishment for a short time, his Dantian spiritual power is probably It’s comparable to the strength of second- and third-level foundation-building monks.”

"With such strong spiritual power, all he needs to do is support Peng Yun in fighting by holding up the mixed rock shield and transforming into a light curtain to help me resist attacks."

"I can also escape from this without having to defend myself and attack with all my strength."

"As for you, Pengxing, you will be in charge of the clan."

"The family seems to be safe, but the world of immortal cultivation has never been peaceful. If Pengyun, who has not mastered the second-level attack magic weapon, is allowed to take charge of the family, we and the Jiao Python Lake realm, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away, cannot be protected and let the evildoers know. , the family will encounter a catastrophe, it is better for you to stay in charge of the family."

Ling Pengxing didn't say anything after hearing this.
