Family cultivation: I am the reincarnation of an ancestor

Chapter 17 The dust has settled, cold-blooded Ren Ming
The world of cultivating immortals is hierarchical and full of dangers.

In such an environment, weak forces are walking on thin ice, and if they make a wrong step, they may fall into the abyss.

Therefore, every step they take must be cautious and thoughtful.

In the Yan family meeting hall.

Yan Lingyu slowly walked to the crowd, glanced around, and said: "Since you are worried that it is a trap, then first send someone to the Zhang family to find out the news. First, you must confirm the authenticity of the foundation-building pill remnant, and then you have to get a Alchemist, and secondly, a senior member of the Yan family to talk to the Zhang family. In this way, even if the Zhang family is really cheating, we will lose at most two people, retain our vitality, and then we can develop with peace of mind."

Speaking of this, Yan Lingyu looked at Yan Jiekuan again. He was still unhappy with someone, and said coldly with a little disdain:
"I can be the alchemist in this task. Lingyu thinks that the third grandfather is always strong, but does he dare to go against me, a junior?"

After hearing the former's words, Yan Jiekuan was so angry that his gray beard stood on end. How could he have been ridiculed so openly and implicitly by his juniors during his life in the 70s?
After all, Yan Jiekuan has an eighth level of Qi training, how could he be completely intimidated by his junior.

After he put aside all distracting thoughts and regained his composure, he pointed at Yan Lingyu with one hand and said, "Do you think us elders are all afraid of death? Why should I be afraid of going with you?"

In fact, when the young man explained everything about Can Fang, Yan Jiekuan already agreed with the other party's words in his heart, but his lack of respect for the elders made him unable to breathe.

Yan Jiokuan turned to Elder Liu and said with a look of deep disgust: "Ling Yu's disrespectful behavior must be punished, otherwise it will be against the family tradition."

However, Liu Yuxi’s answer was:
"Jie Kuan, it's a good thing for young people to have some character."

Liu Yuxi likes people who are not afraid of power and dare to speak out.

She believes that if a family wants to prosper, it needs this kind of person to bring order to the chaos.

The Yan family is a clan-based force, and its internal link is the power of blood, so it is inevitable that there will be talk of blood suppression.

Juniors are inherently inferior to their elders and lack the right to speak.

For example, Yan Yingling and Yan Lingqing at this time were representatives of the sixth and seventh generations of the clan respectively. However, in such high-level meetings, they could only be obedient and unable to say anything.

Of course, this is not their fault. If Yan Ping were alive and Liu Yuxi was asked to refute Yan Ping, she would hesitate.

The word "filial piety" is at the forefront, and this is the nature.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Lingyu's character becomes even more valuable.

Liu Yuxi's eyes sparkled, and she felt that this junior was perfect.

The only flaw is that Yan Lingyu is too aggressive, as if she is not afraid of death, which is somewhat worrying.

Therefore, the elder Liu clan looked at the head of the family secretly.

The head of the family, Yan Jieliang, understood and said to ease the atmosphere: "This is indeed a good idea, but the candidates have to be changed. Third brother, you have a hot temper, and Lingyu is too young. Lingqing and I will go there."

Yan Jieliang turned his attention to Yan Lingyu.

Like Liu Yuxi, he was also very optimistic about this young man.

Whether it's talent or wisdom, it's the best choice.

Now that he was facing the clan elder, he was even more impressed.

If Yan Lingyu hadn't been an alchemist and had to spend time refining alchemy, Yan Jieliang might have trained him to be the next head of the family.

The most important thing for a family leader is to be fair and strict, and to be able to treat clan members with different identities as equals.

There will be no partiality or deliberate avoidance of suspicion.

In comparison, Yan Lingyu is very suitable for the position of the head of the family, as if he has been the head of the family. That kind of innate leadership aura is not easy to possess.

Yan Lingyu looked deeply at Yan Jieliang, understood what he meant, and said no more.

It's nothing more than saying that one's own value is high and one cannot take risks.

As the dust settled on the conclusion, Liu Yuxi began to give orders:
[-]. Urgently recall the expatriate tribesmen to ensure that they are not attacked on the way to the Zhang family.

[-]. Order the elimination of suspicious people in Baidi City to prevent the tiger from leaving the mountain and the news leaking.

[-]. Purchase an additional batch of magic weapons to expand your combat power.

[-]. Send someone to deliver a letter to Yan Renming, asking him to return home quickly.That night, a large-scale search began in Badi City. Anyone who did not have documents to enter the city were taken into custody and centralized control was carried out.

Everyone thought that Yan Lingyu was attacked the day before yesterday and only thought that the Yan family was cleaning up the killer.

……

Somewhere within the Shiwan Mountain, there is a majestic snow-capped peak and a turbulent river flowing straight down from the peak. It is magnificent and extraordinary.

This peak is called Qianchi Peak.

It is one of the nine peaks of Qingshui Sect.

There is a cave on the mountainside of Qianchi Peak. In the cave, there is a feminine man meditating.

The man looks to be in his early thirties, with long hair reaching his waist. His expression is indifferent, and he has a vague tendency to be refined.

This person is Yan Renming, a member of the fourth generation of the Yan family, who has entered the Qingshui Sect and has reached the middle stage of foundation building.

Suddenly, Yan Renming seemed to realize something and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him was a spiritual wooden bird flying up and down.

The Bird of Faith technique is a technique for long-distance communication. Each use requires the consumption of a puppet wooden bird, which is expensive to make. However, it can travel thousands of miles and has extraordinary concealment. It is reused by monks from all walks of life today.

Glancing at the wooden bird, Yan Renming knew it was a letter from his family, but Yan Renming frowned, felt a little unhappy, and said "disturbing".

Then, when he reached out with his spiritual consciousness, the incident quickly became clear.

"Foundation-building elixir? There are some opportunities, but I have already built the foundation. What does this thing have to do with me?"

"What's more, going deep into the Zhang family is very dangerous, so it's okay not to go."

Yan Renming was about to reply, but refused directly, when he suddenly thought of something:
"It seems that a talented alchemist has been born in the clan. This will be of some use to my path, but it is not good to deepen the conflict with the clan."

Immediately, Yan Renming grabbed the wooden bird, his consciousness moved, he engraved the message, and declined:

"Renming was at a critical juncture in his practice and couldn't escape, so Aunt Liu had to face it alone. Renming felt ashamed."

After saying that, he slowly let go, and the wooden bird flew towards Daqian.

Yan Renming closed his eyes again and prepared to take his seat.

……

late at night.

Yanjia Anxiang Pavilion.

In the Anxiang Pavilion, Liu Yuxi was explaining matters to the family head and several alchemists, when a wooden bird flew in front of her.

Liu Yuxi checked the message sent by the wooden bird, and as soon as her consciousness was revealed, she flicked her sleeves and cursed loudly: "What a Yan Renming who betrays his family and forgets his clan!"

As smart as Liu Yuxi, she couldn't see what Yan Renming was thinking. The other party regarded the Yan family as a burden.

"Who is the clan elder?" Yan Jieliang, the head of the family, stepped forward and asked.

"Hmph, Yan Renming won't come, he's going into seclusion." Liu Yuxi was so angry that her voice trembled.

Yan Jieliang was shocked and said gently: "Elder of the clan, please calm down. Maybe my third uncle really can't escape."

"This Yan Renming spends countless spiritual stones on him every year, but has he given anything back to the Yan family in the past 50 years? Now that the remnant recipe of the foundation-building pill has appeared, it is related to the Yan family's future plans. What is more important than this? Jie Liang turned around to say hello to Jie Qin and deducted all Yan Renming's salary expenses!"

"This... ugh." Yan Jieliang sighed helplessly. What Liu Yuxi said was true. He was also angry with the other person, even if that person was his uncle.

What Liu and Yan didn't notice was that Yan Lingyu's eyes gradually became colder in the audience.
