The Mysterious Immortal Clan: Rising from the moment I died!

【Mysterious Ancient Tree: lv3 (86/100)】

"Great! I've gained 5 experience points!"

Ni Kun hadn't finished speaking.

"Oh my god!"

"Look at those three!"

A gasp suddenly rang out from the crowd.

After activating their spiritual roots, wisps of spiritual energy instantly enveloped the three of them and rapidly rotated around them. The size and speed of the vortex were even more pronounced for those with mid-grade spiritual roots.

In an instant, a tidal wave of discussion and exclamations arose.

The disciple closest to the three even boldly speculated: "Could it be that the three of them cried the most heartbrokenly, and thus received the ancestor's blessing, allowing their spiritual roots to be awakened?"

Although the idea was naive, it was said without thinking, but heard with interest. In the end, when everyone looked at the three cyclones, they could no longer suppress their inner impulse.

"Waaaaah..."

In an instant, the sound of crying shook the heavens, and even those who were slow to react joined in the weeping upon seeing this scene.

Looking at the scene before me.

Ni Yongxiao's lips twitched imperceptibly several times.

However, as they wept, the descendants became genuinely saddened, and their longing for their ancestor grew even stronger...

Ni Kun stroked his beard and exclaimed, "The power of role models is truly boundless!"

A short while later.

With Ni Kun personally overseeing the ceremony, the entire burial process gradually drew to a close, just as the earth was about to be sealed.

"Wait a minute!" The second son, Ni Yongxiao, suddenly took out a pipe as white as mutton fat jade. With trembling hands, he filled it with tobacco, lit it, and placed it on the coffin: "Father, this is your favorite spirit tobacco!"

Before the words were even finished, shovelfuls of earth were used to build a high tomb in an instant.

This moment.

"Waaaaah..."

There were people who were extremely heartbroken, and there were also descendants who hoped for another miracle, but all of them wept with genuine emotion.

at the same time.

Ni Kun flashed into the tomb and enjoyed a few puffs of spiritual smoke.

"call......"

However, just as he was puffing on his cigarette...

Everyone exclaimed again, "Our...our ancestor...the ancestral grave is emitting auspicious smoke!"

For a time, all the descendants believed that the Ni family was about to become rich, and they hoped even more that it would be them!

......

It was evening.

Ni Family Ancestral Hall.

At this moment, Ni Kun sat steadily on the memorial tablet.

Three young men and women stood like evergreen pines in the center of the ancestral hall.

"I am Ni Mingjiu!"

"I am Ni Mingyuan!"

"I am Ni Mingsi!"

The three knelt down, raised the burning incense above their foreheads, and said loudly, "Ancestor above, we three swear before the spirit tablet that we will use our sincere hearts to uphold the family's teachings, enter the path of immortality, and dedicate ourselves to the cause. Now we are entrusted by the family, and in the future we will entrust the family to us, so that our descendants may enjoy the shade..."

After reciting the ancestral precepts, they made a solemn vow.

The three embarked on the path of cultivation and became core members of the family, thus gaining access to the family's resources.

Ni Yongwen stood aside, his face filled with astonishment as if in a dream. He never expected that his three grandchildren, originally ordinary people, would develop spiritual roots and embark on the path to immortality in a single day.

As the grandfather of the three, his eyes were filled with expectation, envy, and emotion...

The parents of the three standing to the side were so excited that they didn't know what to do.

If a person is happy for three days when they succeed, they will be happy for at least three to five years when their children succeed.

"A mother's status rises with her son's, and a father's pride is in his son's!" Ni Yongxiao smiled and nodded at the three parents: "The family has bestowed a generous reward upon you, elevating you from your mortal status to receive five social insurances and one housing fund... and from this day forward, a red notice will be displayed at the door of your three families!"

Upon hearing this, the parents of the three children gasped for breath, nearly fainting from the shock...

Ni Yongxiao shifted his gaze, looking kindly at the three of them, his eyes landing on the girl with the middle-grade spiritual root.

"Third Sister, I'm leaving the task of getting these little ones to the basics of Qi cultivation in your hands!"

Seeing Ni Yongci nod with a joyful expression.

Ni Yongxiao then emphasized, "Third Sister, pay special attention to Ni Mingsi. Our family hasn't produced a disciple with a mid-grade spiritual root aptitude for many years!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Yongci smiled and reached out to pull Ni Mingsi along, saying, "This little girl has such bright, intelligent eyes; she's so likable. And... that stubborn streak she has is just like Ninth Sister's, so very much!"

At this point, Ni Yongci raised her head, her eyes reddening, "Perhaps it's Father's divine intervention, that three descendants with spiritual roots have appeared all at once. From now on, I must make sure my sixth brother pays close attention to the bloodlines in the mortal world, lest there be any we've overlooked!"

"Yes! Third Sister is right!" Ni Yongxiao couldn't help but feel extremely excited when he thought of his father's supernatural powers: "From now on, every year, we will have all the promising ordinary descendants of the family come to the ancestral hall!"

......

late at night.

The Ni family's secret room.

"I don't know how my father's talk of family reform will be implemented..."

Filled with doubt and curiosity, Ni Yongxiao stepped into the secret room and saw Ni Kun sitting at the stone table.

"Father!"

Upon seeing his father's spirit, he immediately knelt down in worship.

Ni Kun smiled and greeted, "Ah Xiao, come... sit down and let's chat!"

As soon as Ni Yongxiao sat down, he took out a booklet and said respectfully, "Father, this is the family genealogy you requested. It has been revised, and even the most recently born babies are recorded in it!"

The Ni family has six generations currently, listed in order of their generational names.

The second generation of the "Yong" generation.

The third generation, the "Shi" generation.

The fourth generation, the "Ming" generation.

The fifth generation, the "Zhi" generation.

The sixth generation, the "Cai" generation.

However, the genealogy established by Ni Kun has twelve characters.

They are Yong, Shi, Ming, Zhi, Cai, Gao, Ba, Dou...

Ni Kun took the genealogy book and began to look through it.

The family has about six hundred members.

Among them, 132 possessed spiritual roots, while the rest were ordinary people.

This ratio is quite exaggerated for a family of their level, entirely due to the strength of their genes and the excellence of their bloodline.

Ni Kun was exceptionally talented back then, and his wife also had a top-grade spiritual root; both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The proportion of second-generation offspring with spiritual roots is astounding; out of twelve, only three do not possess spiritual roots.

Unfortunately, the inheritance of bloodlines is governed by the laws of nature.

Of the hundreds of people in the third generation, less than half possessed spiritual roots. Then, in the fourth and fifth generations, the number of people with spiritual roots decreased further and further.

Despite the significant resources invested, the bloodline became increasingly diluted with each generation, resulting in weaker descendants. By the sixth generation, almost all of them were ordinary people.

Ni Kun during his lifetime.

They were powerless to do anything about it, and did not care too much about it. They also did not encourage their children to deliberately procreate through marriage.

Among the second generation of children, the ninth daughter, Ni Yongtang, who is the most talented, possesses a superior spiritual root and has no shortage of admirers. However, she scorns matters concerning children and has never made a Daoist partner.

It is precisely because of this carefree attitude that Ni Yongtang was able to stand out among thousands of cultivators.

now.

Ni Kun transformed into a strange ancient tree, whose supernatural powers could enlighten all members of the family to cultivate immortality. The inscriptions could also inspire all descendants to strive for advancement, like an immortal family, ruling over a region and dominating the past and present.

"From now on, we need to change our strategy!"

Having made up his mind, Ni Kun happily picked up his pen and sketched out one name after another.

Looking at the names his father had marked, Ni Yongxiao noticed a pattern.

The first group of people circled with a gold pen are the family's energetic younger generation, or those with potential and understanding that can be developed...

The second group of people circled in red are all ordinary people. These people are scattered in the mortal world. Although they rely on their families for a living, they are still ordinary people. It is already extremely difficult for them to gain a foothold in the torrent of worldly affairs!

The third group of people circled in black pen were cultivators. Due to their spiritual roots, aptitude, and comprehension, they were all stuck at the Qi Refining stage. Most importantly, their potential had been exhausted.

Currently, these cultivators are all in the market of the port city, nominally managing the business for their families, but in reality, they are listless, living off the five social insurances and one housing fund, just waiting to die.

Just as Ni Yongxiao was pondering his father's intention in dividing the clan into three classes,

"Ah-Xiao! This is the revised 'Family Management Guidelines' that your father has prepared!"

Ni Kun took out a brand-new booklet that he had just finished writing and earnestly instructed, "From now on, just follow what's in here and go for it!"

The new "Memorial on Managing a Household" is very well-organized, mainly focusing on three points...

First, the overall policy has accelerated, shifting from seeking stability to aggressive expansion.

Secondly, it opens up resources internally, promotes its lineage, and develops with a high profile.

Third, we should accumulate strength and develop quietly, without revealing our strength.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Ni Yongxiao had an almost photographic memory. He quickly read through the text and his eyes showed astonishment.

too crazy!
