Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 105 Three Years Later

Lu Changfeng began to fall into self-affirmation.

Lu Yang broke free from the crowd. Even among his own kind, there were still power imbalances within the social circles.

Those clansmen who are clearly gifted and have unlimited potential will attract a group of people to their side even if they do nothing. Lu Yunzhe is one such example.

Now it seems that Lu Yang has also become one of this group.

However, Lu Yang wasn't used to this feeling of fame. He still preferred the kind of life where he made his fortune and progressed quietly.

Especially after meeting Ouyang Luoluo's gaze, she thought so even more. After all, Ouyang Luoluo's eyes were clearly saying: You are so powerful, yet you lied to us that we can only kill the weak to do our best for the clan. What a lie!

The guests all felt that the Southern Barbarian priest had put on a farce and then left in a sorry state. Even the Lu family did the same. In fact, everyone couldn't help but feel that the Southern Barbarian priest was nothing special.

Only a few high-ranking officials sensed something unusual about it.

After the celebration ended, most of the guests left Qingcang Mountain. Elder Li from Yanyue Lake left the fastest and disappeared in a flash.

Elder Fan of the Qingyun Sect disappeared before the celebration even ended.

However, some independent cultivators did not leave directly, but were arranged by the Lu family to live in a courtyard.

Council Hall.

"Greetings, Great Ancestor."

"Greetings to the Second Ancestor."

"Paying respects to the Third Patriarch."

"Paying respects to the Fourth Patriarch."

"Greetings, Chieftain."

Most of the Lu family members were gathered in the council hall at this time, with the four patriarchs, including Lu Guchu, sitting on high seats behind Lu Qingren.

The Lu family's advancement to a Golden Core family and the addition of a new ancestor are double celebrations. Even though this fourth ancestor cultivates at the Qingyun Sect, it is enough to make the Lu family happy.

No matter where Lu Qingfeng cultivates, the bloodline of the Lu family cannot be severed. With Lu Qingfeng's breakthrough, the Lu family's influence in the Qingyun Sect has increased significantly. In the future, when other disciples join the Qingyun Sect, they will have someone to rely on.

Moreover, after his breakthrough, Lu Qingfeng became the external affairs steward of the Qingyun Sect, wielding some power that could provide the Lu family with considerable convenience.

In the future, the Lu family will be much stronger than it is now, whether it is in contact with the Qingyun Sect or in expanding its resource market.

Logically, after the Lu family was promoted to a Golden Core family, the patriarch should have been promoted from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage. After all, it would be too ineffective to have a Qi Refining patriarch in charge of such a large Golden Core family.

Many clansmen speculated that this might be the main topic of discussion at today's clan meeting.

It's just unknown whether Lu Changkong or Lu Changfeng will become the clan leader. As for Lu Feng, he is, after all, a disciple of the Qingyun Sect and will eventually return to the Qingyun Sect.

The clan has rules that disciples who have joined a sect are not allowed to return to the clan to take up positions.

In terms of support, Lu Changfeng definitely has more supporters in the clan, after all, the title of Thunder Sword Immortal is not given lightly.

Moreover, for so long, Lu Changfeng has actually been the one to decide on all the major matters of the clan.

However, Lu Changfeng's cultivation level is higher, so he will probably be thinking about improving his cultivation and breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, the clansmen felt that Lu Changkong was more likely to be the one.

"I have gathered the people of our clan here today to announce two important matters."

coming! coming!

Upon hearing Lu Changfeng's words, everyone immediately fell silent and dared not make a sound to disturb him.

"First, my Qingcang Lu Clan now has a Golden Core Ancestor, so the family's status has automatically been upgraded to a Golden Core family. In the future, the clan's power will continue to expand. The current management process is no longer suitable. After discussion, we have come up with a new family process."

Here, I'd like to say something to everyone.

The Nine Peaks of Qingcang.

Nine Peaks!

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked towards the nine mountain peaks outside.

These nine peaks, consisting of four yang peaks and five yin peaks, stand guard over the main peak.

The nine peaks that Lu Changkong mentioned should be these nine mountains, but these nine mountains are not empty; they are occupied by the nine halls of the Lu family.

Alchemy Hall, Weapon Forging Hall, Talisman Making Hall, Spirit Plant Hall, Punishment Hall, Internal Affairs Hall, External Affairs Hall, Mountain Patrol Hall, Demon Hunting Team.

These are the nine halls and ten elders of the Lu family. Apart from the First Elder, the other nine elders each govern one hall and one peak.

"From this day forward, the clan will no longer have the concept of the Nine Halls, but will instead establish the Nine Peaks."

The peak master of Qingxing Peak is the second elder, Lu Cunyan, who is in charge of the family's punishments and has formed a punishment team. He enforces the family rules internally and suppresses disobedience externally.

The peak master of Qingqi Peak is the third elder, Lu Cunjin, who is in charge of the family's weapon crafting affairs.

The peak master of Qingxun Peak is the fourth elder, Lu Cunxin, who is in charge of the affairs of the patrol clan and has established the clan's guard team, which is the backbone of the clan in defending against internal and external threats.

The peak master of Qingdan Peak is the Fifth Elder, Lu Cunyan, who is in charge of alchemy within the clan.

The peak master of Qingzhi Peak is the sixth elder, Lu Cunsen, who is in charge of the spiritual plants in the clan.

The peak master of Qingying Peak is the seventh elder, Lu Cunshan, who is in charge of all external affairs of the clan and has established the clan's intelligence team, which is the backbone of the clan's information and intelligence capabilities.

The peak master of Qingwu Peak is the Eighth Elder, Lu Cunhan, who is in charge of all internal affairs of the clan, such as task collection and distribution, contribution exchange, and offering distribution. He also established the Offering Pavilion to accumulate strength for the clan and can selectively recruit extraordinary people from outside the clan for their use.

The peak master of Qingling Peak is the Ninth Elder, Lu Qingwu, who is in charge of the clan's management of spirit beasts and has also formed the clan's demon-hunting team.

The Grand Elder is in charge of the main peak's scripture pavilion and oversees the important task of transmitting scriptures within the clan.

Clan Chief Lu Qingren is in charge of all affairs, large and small, within the clan.

Lu Qingren!

Still the clan leader!

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. They hadn't expected that the clan leader was actually Lu Qingren. It seemed they had been overthinking things.

However, just as they looked at Lu Qingren, they discovered that a burst of aura emanated from Lu Qingren, making everyone's eyes turn red.

"Foundation Establishment Stage! The Clan Leader has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

No wonder the position of clan leader remained unchanged. It turned out that Lu Qingren had broken through. Even Lu Yang couldn't help but be happy. The Lu family had just been promoted to a Golden Core family, and they had already gained two Foundation Establishment experts. This was a sure thing.

"We pay our respects to the clan chief."

"We pay our respects to the Peak Master."

In fact, many people were puzzled. Wasn't this just a change of name, but the same thing in a different guise? What was the point?

However, everyone soon discovered that it really worked.

After the establishment of each peak, the power of each peak seemed to increase significantly all at once. Previously, the nine elders were more of an executor; although they participated in decision-making, they mostly just offered advice to the clan leader.

Now things are different; they have become the real decision-makers, and have the power to influence the clan leader.

With the establishment of the Nine Peaks, Lu Yang and his clansmen will also face a problem: which peak should they belong to?

Previously, they were in the Alchemy Hall and Weapon Forging Hall, which were undoubtedly their places; they can simply be included in the Peak.

But there are more people like Lu Yang who, although they have learned a certain skill, are not considered members of that gang, which is problematic.

The clan clearly didn't intend for these people to choose for themselves, but instead started distributing them directly.

Lu Yunzhe entered Qingling Peak and joined the demon-hunting team.

What the heck!

Lu Yunzhe was completely dumbfounded. He just wanted to stay in the clan and live a peaceful life. What was going on? Why was he being pushed to the very edge?

Lu Yunzhe wanted to say something to Lu Changfeng, but after meeting Lu Changfeng's eyes, he immediately gave up. He decided it was better not to fight a losing battle.

It just so happens that my swordsmanship has reached a crucial moment and I need some honing. The demon hunting team is also good; I can adjust it later.

"Lu Yang, enter the main peak."

Ah!

Main Peak!

Everyone looked at Lu Yang with some surprise, but then they realized something. That made sense. Lu Yang had been taught the Thunderclap Sword Technique by Lu Changfeng, who treated him like his own son. Going to the main peak was indeed appropriate for him.

Lu Yang didn't care. The main peak was good. He didn't have to participate in the affairs of other peaks. He could just focus on farming and raising fish. At least he wouldn't be like Lu Yunzhe, who was sent to the demon-hunting team.

Our second ancestor was wise.

The changes in the Lu family were silent, but as time went by, many forces in the four western prefectures discovered that the Lu family had changed.

A large number of independent cultivators were absorbed by the Lu family, albeit under the guise of offering sacrifices, which indeed greatly enhanced the Lu family's strength.

As for whether the influx of so many independent cultivators will disrupt the Lu family's order, don't be ridiculous. Qingxing Peak is not just for show. Moreover, this is a Golden Core family. What's there for a group of Qi Refining cultivators to cause trouble?

Moreover, the Lu family's methods are truly remarkable. Among these cultivators, some outstanding ones are directly married off to women from collateral branches, or female cultivators are married off by members of the clan. In this way, these rogue cultivators truly become one of their own.

When they have children later, their attachment will be even deeper, and they will naturally return to their hometown.

Brilliant!

Thinking about all this, the various forces secretly considered whether they could absorb some of these things into their own families. However, this was just wishful thinking. The scale was too small, and if they were to put in any strange or unusual things, they might accidentally be turned against them.

However, Lu Yang didn't care about any of that. At this moment, he was sitting comfortably in his small courtyard, leisurely farming and raising fish.

In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed since Lu Guchu's Golden Core Ceremony.

Six years have passed since Lu Yang broke through to the first level of Qi Refining. In the courtyard, Lu Yang, with his upright posture, has grown into a handsome young man.

In the past three years, the spirit grain has ripened five times, and this is the sixth time.

The spirit fish have matured three times, and the fourth batch is coming soon.

The original five mu of spiritual land has now become ten mu.

In the one-acre medicinal herb field, besides the poppy, there are several other medicinal herbs with an even stronger fragrance.

At the very edge are several calming trees. These trees have now grown to the height of a person. Over the past three years, Lu Yang has used these trees as a base to cultivate three more calming trees. In other words, there are now four calming trees in Lu Yang's spiritual field.

Beneath the calming tree, roots and branches fell down, which Lu Yang picked up and used to make calming incense.

In the quiet room of the small courtyard, the calming fragrance permeated the air. Lu Yang was immersed in the fragrance and circulated his spirit-refining energy, making his soul increasingly powerful.

Just a door away, Shi Ri, who had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, swallowed a Spirit Gathering Pill, let out a burp, and began to relentlessly refine the spiritual energy within.

A group of Ziyang Peaks hovered in the spiritual field, working diligently to collect honey.
