Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

Chapter 554: The number of Ling monks is growing rapidly (2200 words, please subscribe)
Two and a half years later.

This winter, the snow was heavier than usual.

Countless snowflakes as big as half a fist fell from the sky, and a biting cold wind blew across the earth.

The white snow falling from the sky on the ground is at least half a leg high. Countless white snow falling on the lake in Lingxiao Qianxing Lake is condensed into a thick layer of ice by the icy white snow.

But even in such weather, there were countless monks of different ages wearing Ling's robes, not afraid of the cold, braving the biting cold wind, running across the ice towards Lingxiao Qianxing Lake from various places.

A few days later, these monks finally arrived outside the ancestral temple on Lingyun Island of the Ling clan in the early morning of the Spring Festival.

At this time, there were as many as five hundred monks gathered here wearing Ling's Taoist robes.

The five hundred monks were arranged in an orderly manner. The ten people at the front of the crowd were none other than the "Five Tigers" of the Ling family and the "Five Sons" of the Ling family.

"Uncle Pengqiu, Aunt Penglin, why did the family celebrate the Spring Festival together and didn't return home? Do you know where Aunt Penglin went?"

Ling Chengping, who was clever and eccentric and had been brought up by Ling Pengyun since she was a child, glanced around and saw that the surrounding tribesmen were celebrating the Spring Festival together as they were five years ago, and they also did not see Ling Penglin, who had a good relationship with them. She frowned suddenly.

Confused, she looked at Ling Pengqiu, the leader of the Five Tigers of the Ling Family, and asked him.

"I don't know. In recent years, I have been having trouble contacting Sister Penglin using the messenger talisman. However, I have been to the ancestral temple and looked at Sister Penglin's life card. Her life card is still intact."

"I guess...Sister Penglin was arranged by Brother Pengyun or Grandpa Yunhong to be stationed in a key place. It is inconvenient to disclose it to the public!"

Ling Pengqiu, who had white hair and a face full of wrinkles, said carefully.

Since the construction of Lingxiao Qianxing Lake, the Ling family has held a collective Spring Festival every five years to call on many tribesmen outside to return home and reunite to strengthen cohesion.

As for not holding it every year, it's just because the clan members who are away are in various places, and returning to the clan every year is too time-consuming.

"Garrisoning in important places? What kind of important places can be stationed so that Aunt Penglin, a veteran second-level array mage, can take over?"

After hearing this, Ling Chengping lowered her head and started thinking curiously.

At the same time, an inconspicuous young monk among the five hundred monks also heard what Ling Pengqiu had just said, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.

After a while, when the blazing sun slowly rose in the sky, a ray of sunlight fell on the earth, and a ray of light flew rapidly from the distant sky at this moment.

When the five hundred monks outside the ancestral temple saw this scene, they all raised their heads and watched, with a look of pride on their faces.

After a short while, the escaping light also stopped above the Ling Family Ancestral Temple.

Three figures jumped to the top of the crowd.

These three people are none other than Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi, and Ling Yunhong.

At this moment, the more than 500 monks bowed in unison to Ling Pengyun, Ling Yunhong, and Yan Siyi, who were standing at the top, with expressions of respect on their faces.

"Congratulations to the patriarch, supreme elder, and second elder!"

A few years ago, Yan Siyi had used the flesh and blood of several golden elixir monsters that Ling Pengyun had killed in his early years to cook as spiritual food to help her reach the stage of perfect foundation building.

She is also the one with the highest cultivation level in the entire Ling family, except Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.

In addition, his spiritual chef has already been promoted to the second-level high-grade realm, and he is a veteran second-level high-grade spiritual chef.

Ling Pengyun, the wife of Jin Dan Zhenren, has an extraordinary status and special status. She married into the Ling clan and has been regarded as a relative of the Ling clan for a long time. In the eyes of the Ling clan, she has long been one of their own.

As a result, she was entrusted with an important task by her family and nominated as the second elder, specializing in teaching those members of the clan who had the talent of being a spiritual cook.

Moreover, in the hearts of the Ling family, young and old, it is very clear that Yan Siyi, the third strongest person of the Ling family, will have the opportunity to break through the golden elixir in the future. The Ling family also regards Yan Siyi as another Ling family's wife in the future. Elder Shang can be said to be a person respected by everyone in the Ling clan.

Ling Pengyun, his wife, and the clan leader Ling Yunhong looked at the more than 500 clan members who were greeting them in unison, with a look of joy on their faces.

Clan leader Ling Yunhong smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, then he smiled kindly.

"There are many new young faces here during the Spring Festival this year, which is a good thing!"

After saying this, he looked at the middle-aged man with a steady face and a loyal appearance who was at the front of the five hundred monks, and greeted him.

"Cheng Yuan, as usual, tell us what happened in the clan in the past five years."

This loyal middle-aged man was Ling Chengyuan, who was selected as one of the five tigers of the Ling family based on his outstanding talent.

Since he joined Foundation Establishment, he has been valued by the family because he is relatively stable and has a good overall view of the overall situation. He has been trained by the family's obstruction system who is good at deploying various spiritual objects in the family, handling various chores, etc. A long time.

Five years ago, when Ling Chengyuan achieved success in his studies, he was tested by the family's senior officials. He was unanimously elected by the family's senior officials as the family elder, in charge of all family affairs.

During the 15 years since Ling's transformation of this land into Qianxing Lake, Ling's development has changed every year.Ling's foundation-building monks are popping up like bamboo shoots.

Under such circumstances, more than ten years ago, Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun had discussed that only those with foundation-building cultivation could serve as family elders.

Currently, there are eleven Foundation Establishment Realm elders in the Ling family, including the First Elder Ling Chengyuan, the Second Elder Yan Siyi, the Third Elder Array Master Ling Pengli, the Fourth Elder the Second-level Spirit Planter Ling Pengliang, and the Fifth Elder Ling Xiaofang Shi "Floor Master" Ling Pengqiu, Sixth Elder Second-level Silk Breeder Ling Chengping, Seventh Elder Second-level Weapon Refiner Ling Chenggang...

Ling Penglin is actually the same age as Ling Pengqiu, and she should have been selected as one of the "Five Tigers" of the middle-aged generation in the family. However, considering that she only has ten or twenty years left in her life, she is already one of the oldest. body, thus rejecting the family's intention to include her in the Five Tigers.

Although Ling Pengqiu does not have a long lifespan, due to the high-quality lifespan-enhancing substances he takes, he still has about forty years left in his lifespan, which can barely be considered a middle-aged man.

Ling Pengliang, the fourth elder, is now managing some idle plants and taking care of the spiritual plants on the spiritual plant island opened by his family in Lingxiao Qianxing Lake.

Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong originally intended to place him in an important position to manage some family affairs.

However, in the early years, Ling Pengliang managed all kinds of spiritual creature mobilization and chores in Huaishui County by himself, which made him mentally and physically exhausted. He was not interested in this matter and just wanted to be a leisurely farmer.

Ling Pengqiu and Ling Chengping won't say much.

Ling Chenggang entered the realm of foundation building when he was 68 years old, so he was relatively lucky. It turned out that he had been based on the Huangyan steel vein discovered by his family at the boundary of Lingxiao Qianxing Lake, and relied on the mining there. Huangyan steel refining magic weapon.

He also used that opportunity to upgrade his weapon refining to the second level when he was in the Qi Training Realm, and he could be regarded as a talented weapon refining master.

In addition, he is also a first-level high-grade puppet master who is good at refining wooden puppets and iron puppets.

Today, more than [-]% of the puppets produced by the family are basically made by him.

The remaining four elders were all created by the Ling clan through the accumulation of a large number of foundation-building spiritual objects. They were quite decent and guarded various places for the Ling clan.

After returning to his thoughts, the honest-looking Ling Chengyuan heard the order and immediately walked to the side of Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong who were in the first place. Facing the five hundred Ling clan members present, he took out a classic book from his arms and opened it. After opening a page, he murmured carefully.

"It's been another five years of peace and joy. Although there haven't been any big changes in the family in the past five years, it's good to be free from disasters."

"What is worth mentioning is that as the number of monks and mortals in the family increases, every year, the family can basically increase by more than [-] to [-] people with spiritual roots."

"Today, the number of monks in the clan has reached 850, which is more than 190 more than when we celebrated the Spring Festival together five years ago."

"Currently, there are six generations in the family living under the same roof. The six generations are named Yun, Xiao, Peng, Cheng, Wan, and Li."

"There is only one clan member of the Yun clan, two clan members of the Xiao clan, 36 clan members of the Peng clan, 58 clan members of the Cheng clan, 230 clan members of the Wan clan clan, and 530 clan members of the Li clan clan."

"This time for the collective Spring Festival, a total of 530 eight tribesmen were present, and there were 320 tribesmen who were in important positions, either managing the store or stationed somewhere, and it was difficult to return."

"The number of mortals under the family, after investigation and statistics by the family monks, currently totals 890."

"Because many of the ordinary people in Lingxiao Qianxing Lake have been sent back to Huaishui County, there are only more than [-] ordinary people."

"The remaining 90 or so ordinary people are all in Huaishui County, Yan Kingdom."

"..."

"I have finished talking about the small changes in the family in the past five years."

After speaking for a short while, Ling Chengxia closed the yellow leather classics in his hand, spoke to everyone present, and then returned to the large group.

“It’s really a good thing that our clan is more prosperous.”

"This Spring Festival, all members of the clan will distribute five additional spiritual fruits of the same level as their cultivation level to have fun together."

Clan leader Ling Yunhong smiled.

When the more than 500 Ling clan members present heard this, they all looked overjoyed and praised the clan leader Ling Yunhong for his wise move.

Clan leader Ling Yunhong waved his hand and called everyone into the spacious ancestral temple.

Everyone stood in the hall of the ancestral temple and spoke to the hundreds of spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Ling family placed deep in the ancestral temple.

"Junior, Ling Pengyun, the eighth eldest son of the Peng generation, came here to pay homage to our ancestors. I hope our ancestors will bless our clan's prosperity!"

"Junior, Ling Pengyun's wife Yan Siyi is here..."

"..."

After finishing the tedious memorial work, everyone gathered in a square with hundreds of large round tables, eating and chatting together, and enjoying the joy of family reunion during the Spring Festival.
