The female supporting role is dedicated to cultivating immortality

Chapter 12 Why reduce resources?

Pei Xiangrong was not the only one with daughters in the hall. Pei Jinfan and Pei Jinsheng wanted to cut off the cultivation resources given to girls by the clan in one fell swoop. More than half of the people were clearly opposed.

"The boy's surname is Pei, and the girl's surname is Pei. It's unfair to give resources to boys but not to girls."

"There are many girls who like to practice. If the training resources given to them are suddenly cut off, they may resent the clan for favoring boys. When they get married in the future, instead of helping our Pei family, they will unite with their husbands' families to cause trouble for the Pei family. You How about calling me Mrs. Pei?"

"Didn't the second brother's daughter say that she doesn't want resources for cultivation? She doesn't want resources, so let's praise her more and say that she is dedicated to the good of the clan. Other girls are not as qualified as hers and will not be embarrassed to ask for resources."

"This is a good idea. Those who have daughters, remember to mention the well-behaved and sensible Pei Ruxi..."

The patriarch concluded in a deep voice: "Reducing training resources can easily cause resentment and should not be done overnight. Let's do this. This year, the resources allocated to girls will be cut by one-third, and next year they will be cut by one-third. By the year after that, the girls will adapt. Resources, too.”

Pei Jinfan did not expect to reduce all resources at once, so he smiled and said: "The girl's training resources have been reduced, and the side branches should also be reduced by one-third. After all, our direct descendants are the inheritors of the Pei family. We have a noble status and are beyond the reach of the side branches." Than, it deserves to enjoy more resources than the side branch."

This time Pei Jinsheng didn't agree, and said with a bad expression: "I am a side branch, do you mean I am not worthy of sitting here? The second brother is also a side branch, you want to reduce the resources of the second brother?"

Pei Jinfan glanced at Pei Xiangrong.

It was hard to tell whether the other party was happy or angry, but Pei Jinfan felt that Pei Xiangrong must be unhappy when someone mentioned his background.

He had always hated Pei Xiangrong, and relying on his father's cultivation level to be a little higher than Pei Xiangrong, his father had just surpassed the patriarch and dealt with the patriarch's concubine. Pei Jinfan was very courageous.

He said arrogantly: "Second brother has been building the foundation for more than ten years. It takes up so many cultivation resources every year, but the cultivation level has not increased. Isn't it okay for the clan to reduce the resources given to second brother? I have been promoted to the twelfth level of Qi refining for seven years. In eight years, if the clan is willing to give me a foundation-building pill, I can become a foundation-building monk immediately!"

Pei Jinsheng is at the eleventh level of Qi refining, but at the ninth level he can try to build a foundation. He also wants to get a foundation building pill.The Foundation Establishment Pill is difficult to refine and is very precious and rare. He was afraid that after his clan gave Pei Jinfan one Foundation Establishment Pill, he would not give it to him again, so he immediately said: "Didn't you take the Foundation Establishment Pill before? You couldn't do it after taking one." Is it useful to take the second pill to get promoted?"

The two immediately started arguing.

The patriarch had a headache, Pei Xiangrong remained silent, Uncle Liu closed his eyes to rest, and everyone was forced to listen to the quarrel.

In the end, the clan leader, out of consideration for appeasing the Pei family branch clan members, agreed to give Pei Jinsheng a Foundation Building Pill, on the condition that Pei Jinsheng had to reach the twelfth level of Qi Refining before he could take it.Pei Jinfan is the biological son of Uncle Six. The patriarch resented Uncle Six for driving away the woman he loved, and did not agree to give Pei Jinfan the Foundation Establishment Pill and let him practice it for a few years.

How could Pei Jinfan respond?He actually got into a quarrel with the clan leader, arguing indiscriminately, saying that if the clan leader wasn't the only grandson of his ancestor, it would be impossible for someone like the clan leader to be the leader of the Pei clan.

The leader of the clan, Pei Jinlun, had a dark face and was about to show Pei Jinfan how powerful the foundation stage was.

"Bastard!"

The sixth uncle shouted angrily, raised his crutch and hit Pei Jinfan, and scolded: "Kneel down! Apologize to the clan leader!"

Pei Jinfan didn't dare to disobey what his biological father said.

Pei Xiangrong watched coldly.

The patriarch, Pei Jinlun, was apologized while holding back his anger, and sent a message to Pei Xiangrong: "Second brother, this old man allows Pei Jinfan to bully my brother, and I hate him so much!"

Pei Xiangrong sent a message: "Sixth Uncle's cultivation is so advanced that you and I are no match. Brother, please calm down."

Pei Jinlun was so angry that his cheeks trembled. He was the leader of the Pei clan after all, and he did not forget his responsibilities. He forced a smile and asked everyone to discuss whether the resources given to the side branch should be reduced.

The key to this discussion was Pei Xiangrong. Pei Jinlun and his sixth uncle agreed that Pei Xiangrong enjoyed the resources given to the elders by the clan, and that Pei Xiangrong's background was not important.Pei Xiangrong did not express his position, Pei Jinsheng shut up because of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the other side branches lacked strength, and he could not persuade Pei Xiangrong to keep the original resource allocation for the side branches, so he had to hold his nose and admit the result:

Starting from this year, the training resources of all side branches will be reduced to [-]% of the original level. Whether to reduce it next year will be discussed next year.

There is no way, the ancestor is a direct descendant, the patriarch is a direct descendant, and the sixth uncle is also a direct descendant.Only Pei Xiangrong of the side branch was promoted to the foundation-building stage. Even if Pei Xiangrong clearly supported the side branch, the direct line would still find ways to undermine the side branch's interests.

Kicking away the direct lineage and establishing one’s own business?

The direct line would not be able to live well without the side branches. Without the several foundation-building monks from the direct line, the side branch would most likely be devoured skin and bones by the wolf-like and tiger-like Lin clan.

The adults settled the matter, and Pei Ruxi and the other children were basically full.

Uncle Pei Ba just learned from the people sent by the clan that the training resources of the branch have been reduced by [-]%. However, although his cultivation progress is not very fast, his grandfather is the biological brother of the ancestor.He is a direct descendant of the Pei family, so cutting resources cannot be done to him, so he is in a good mood.

Uncle Pei walked into the hall and said, "Quiet, don't make any noise." He was about to announce the clan's arrangements for this year to the young monks. Before speaking, he looked at Pei Ruxi, who was unaware, and felt a little pity for her.

Pei Ruxi, who understood his eyes, showed confusion and thought of the worst possibility: "I am so young, am I going to be married off this year? Calm down, don't make random guesses, listen to what he has to say first ."

Uncle Pei was a good man and did not directly tell everyone about cutting resources. He first talked about Lin's evil deeds of occupying Pei's spiritual field, which aroused everyone's anger. Then he talked about how indifferent Su was, emphasizing Pei's hardship.Seeing everyone's low mood, Uncle Pei asked: "Our clan is having a hard time. As a member of the clan, should we contribute to the clan?"

"Yes!" Pei Chenglie shouted the loudest and threatened others, "I will bully anyone who doesn't pay!"

"What if your sister doesn't pay?" someone teased him.

"Still bullying her!" Pei Chenglie thought that his sister was the biological sister of his compatriot. When he noticed that someone pointed at Pei Ruxi with his chin, he suddenly shrank his neck and got scared.

But he was also afraid that others would look down upon him, so he said wisely in a hurry: "Even if I am bullied by my sister, I still have to tell her that it is wrong not to contribute to the clan! Without the clan, there would be no us!"

Uncle Pei praised Pei Chenglie, looked at everyone, and slowly said the clan decision that was closely related to everyone: "Starting from today, the clan has decided to reduce the training resources given to the side branches..."

He said it in a simple way, and even the younger children understood it. The branch received less spiritual resources this year than last year.

The girl sitting on the right side of Pei Ruxi looked at Pei Ruxi and Pei Asi, and said with a smile: "You are a side branch, and the clan's cuts in resources will definitely cut down on you. I am a direct lineage, and I received more resources than you last year. This year I got more than you, so don’t be too envious of my good background!”

"Quiet! Everyone be quiet! Don't make any noise, wait until I finish." Uncle Pei suppressed the discussion, "In addition to the side branches, the clan also decided to reduce the resources given to girls..."

"Are the direct line girls also reduced?" someone asked.

"The resources of all girls have been reduced, including direct descendants!" Uncle Pei said.

Hearing this, the girl sitting on Pei Ruxi's right stopped laughing.

She suddenly stood up and asked: "Why?! I already have less resources than the boys, why should my resources be reduced?! Is it because I am lazy in cultivation or my cultivation level is lower than theirs?"

The girl's eye circles turned red and she said angrily: "I'm not lazy! I have dual spiritual roots, and Pei Chenglie also has dual spiritual roots. It took him three years and three months to advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and it took me two years and ten Yue did it! I practice so hard because I hope to become a person who protects the clan and prevents the clan from being bullied! The clan has reduced my resources, and I, Pei Yuxia, am not convinced, and I want to explain!"

Unable to influence the clan's decision, Uncle Pei said helplessly: "Yuxia, sit down and don't get excited. Reducing resources is a matter decided by the clan leaders and elders. You have two-thirds of the resources anyway. Pei Ruxi on your left is There are no resources at all.”

What? ? ?
Pei Ruxi, who has spiritual roots in the Seventh Heaven, has no resources at all? ? ?Are you kidding? This is!
Pei Yuxia didn't believe it: "Impossible! Pei Ruxi has such good qualifications, how could he not have resources!"

The other children didn't believe it either.

Pei Ruxi, the person involved, was dubious and asked: "Uncle Eighth, why don't I have the resources to practice? Others have it, but I don't. What does clan mean?"

Uncle Pei Ba said: "You have good qualifications, you don't need resources, and you can practice faster than others."

Pei Ruxi laughed angrily: "Excuse me, Eighth Uncle, if the foundation-building monks have high cultivation levels, should the clan give up the cultivation resources given to them to those who are in the Qi-refining stage? The foundation-building monks are willing to give it up, I I’m willing too! The foundation-building monks won’t give up their resources, and I won’t give up either!”

Uncle Pei Ba said: "I can't answer. It is the clan's decision to reduce resources. I did not participate in the deliberations. Your father is an elder, and the clan's decision has been approved by him. If you have any doubts, please talk to your father. And Yuxia , your father also participated in the clan’s discussion on reducing resources, if you are not convinced, please go to your father.”

"What about me?" Pei Asi summoned the courage to say, "Uncle Eighth, my father is a mortal, and so is my mother. They are not in the ancestral home. I don't want to reduce resources, who should I ask for explanation?"

"The clan's decision does not need to be explained." Uncle Pei said, "The cultivation resources belong to the clan, not you. The clan appropriately reduces your resources in the hope that everyone will live a better life. You should accept the clan's arrangements."

He was very eloquent and resolved everyone's grievances with a few words, and then took out a bag of spiritual stones and several bottles of elixirs: "Come, let's play a game. No matter who wins, he will be rewarded with spiritual stones and elixirs!"

Children prefer immediate benefits. I heard that they can get rewards for playing games, so most people immediately forget about cutting resources.They happily started the game under the leadership of Uncle Pei, and soon the hall was full of laughter.

　In the past and tomorrow, I will not cultivate immortality, but I will fight against my scumbag father and my clan.
