The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 96 Decisions and Secrets (I beg you to order all of them!)
  After returning to Lingtan Cave in Heming Peak, Xu Shengsheng did not return to his cave. Instead, he summoned all clan members to announce a family resolution.

"In two years, all clan members will evacuate this place and return to their families to wait for orders!" The words were concise and to the point, without any nonsense.

"But Elder Foundation Establishment, two years is not enough to mine the remaining iron ore. Do you want to extend the time by one year, so that all the iron ore can be mined?"

Xu Zhengxin suggested that he thought it would take another year to complete the mining, so it would be better to spend more time.

"Confused, what are you afraid of before the mining is completed? Seal the mine and continue mining until the beast tide is over! The beast tide is coming soon. The family has called you back to arrange for the next response to the beast tide. Don't be verbose. This matter is If the resolution passed by the family elders’ meeting is passed, you must implement it accordingly!”

"Besides, before I came here, I followed my ancestor's instructions and went to the outer reaches of the Hengduan Mountains to investigate. There are various signs that indicate that the beast tide will break out within ten years. If you stay here longer, it will be more dangerous!"

"If it weren't for the purpose of mining more minerals in exchange for spiritual stones and preparing for the next auction, the family would have asked you to evacuate early. After all, this place is too far from the family and too close to the Hengduan Mountains. In case of an emergency, The situation is beyond the control of the family and there is no time to rescue him!"

Xu Zhengxin was a little aggrieved. He wanted to stay here for a while, just to dig more minerals and exchange more spiritual stones for the family. However, the family also considered their safety, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Don't think that you will be at ease when you return to the family. There are many things over there, such as evacuating mortals into the family mountain and conducting inspections in various places in the family. These all require manpower. The family currently has insufficient manpower. You can just relieve it after you return. Let’s take a look at this situation.”

Afraid that some members of the tribe could not figure it out, Xu Shengsheng explained some reasons why they had to go back.

It was Xu Zhengxin who spoke: "Elder Ji Zhu, since it is a family decision, the clan members will definitely implement it seriously. However, my nephew still has a question. I wonder if I can ask him in person?"

"Say it!" Xu Shengsheng said calmly.

"Although my nephew was too young to catch up with the last beast tide. However, my nephew has also read many family records about previous beast tides in the Scripture Collection Pavilion. It seems that there are no people who have evacuated the mortal tribe and entered the tribe. The records of the earth?”

Xu Zhengxin said this out of pure confusion, not to object. You must know that he was also born in a mortal family. He became a monk after discovering that he had spiritual roots through a family spirit-testing conference. Besides, this is a good thing, so how could he object? Woolen cloth?

After hearing what he said, the monks from mortal families present looked at Xu Shengsheng eagerly, their eyes full of excitement, because they also had the same question, for fear that it was not true.

Xu Shengsheng sighed and said slowly:
  "Children, this is true. During the previous beast tide, the reason why mortals were not relocated to the clan's territory was because the family's clan-protecting formation was a second-level high-grade one and could not accommodate so many people."

"It's different now. The family's family protection formation will be replaced by a third-level low-grade one. Compared with before, the number of people it can protect will be many times more. That's why we made this decision!"

As soon as Xu Shengsheng finished speaking, a series of sounds soon sounded in the cave.

"Is it true? The family's clan protection formation is going to be upgraded?" a clansman asked.

"It must be true. Didn't you hear that Elder Ji Zhu made the announcement?" Another tribesman replied.

"I just don't understand. This third-level low-grade formation is worth a lot of money. Where did the family get the spiritual stones to buy it?" Another clan member asked.

"This must be inseparable from our hard work in mining. Maybe all the minerals we dug were exchanged for spiritual stones to buy this family's clan protection formation? So, we have also made great efforts for the family? "A tribesman guessed.

"Of course! We are also part of the family! This is what we should do!" The tribesmen in front of him echoed.

"I didn't say it shouldn't be, but we people are not very good at all. When I came here to mine before, I always felt a little bit out of control. I felt that I couldn't contribute to the family's worries and felt uncomfortable. Now I know that I am still quite good. It’s useful!” The tribesman who guessed earlier continued, with a sense of pride on his face.

In fact, these are their innermost thoughts and true words. They had been kept deep in their hearts before and could not be revealed to the public. This time, they took advantage of the heated discussion and expressed them all.

People are also group animals. They also need to be recognized and needed, instead of hiding in an obscure corner forever, unknown to others, and then disappearing from people's memories.

Listening to these heartfelt words from the tribe, Xu Zhiyu's nose felt sour for some reason.

After hearing these words, Xu Shengsheng was deeply moved, what a wonderful tribesman! It is precisely because of the unity of the clan that the Xu family has endured these beast waves with great difficulty, and has persevered in passing on the legacy to this day.

Therefore, he made a temporary decision. Although he had not discussed it with his ancestor and another family foundation-building elder, he believed that they would not object if they knew about it. "Quiet, everyone, be quiet and listen to me!" Looking at the quiet clan members, Xu Shengsheng continued:

"The family has another decision, that is, the names of each clan member will be engraved on the foundation of this clan protection formation, so that future generations can always remember what our ancestors have done for the family. As long as As long as the Xu family is still here, no one will forget these deeds, no matter if it is a hundred years or a thousand years!"

After he finished speaking, the tribesmen were stunned for a while, and then burst into loud cheers, and the entire Lingtan Cave was buzzing.

Even the slender salmon that had reproduced for one generation jumped at the cheers. Under the leadership of the slender salmon with the highest cultivation level, it dived into the depths of the pool.

Xu Shengsheng then made arrangements for the production and subsequent retreat, and then let the tribesmen leave.

In the end, only Xu Zhiyu, his grandson, and Xu Zhengxin were left in the cave.

"Zhengxin, please be more careful next time! I will return to my family soon, and I will pick you up on time in two years. I hope you will be ready by then and just follow me and leave!"

"By the way, please bring me all the red flame iron spiritual materials produced recently, and I will take them with you when I leave." Xu Shengsheng ordered Xu Zhengxin.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will go to the warehouse to get it for you." After Xu Zhengxin said that, he left to get the things from the warehouse.

It is said to be a warehouse, but in fact it is a slightly larger cave, connected to Xu Zhengxin's cave. The guarding of the red flame iron spirit material is not trivial, and he would not trust it anywhere else.

"Hey, this is for you. Didn't you tell me to ask Zhi'an for the secret book on how to cultivate snakes and pythons? This is it." Xu Shengsheng looked at Xu Zhengxin who was walking away, and remembered what his grandson had entrusted to him. thing, handed over a book.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I knew that Third Brother must have some secrets in this area. It's true." Xu Zhiyu thanked him first, and then took the book handed over by his grandfather with both hands.

After browsing through it briefly, I found that it indeed contained secrets on the hatching and taming of snake and python monsters, and I couldn't help but feel happy.

He had obtained the silver-scaled python mutated egg for some time, but since there was no hatching secret book, it had been sitting idle in the beast-controlling bag, so he asked his grandfather to get the secret book from his third brother.

"Speaking of which, Zhi'an is very envious of you. I learned that you found a silver-scaled egg, and that it was mutated. If it weren't for the family mission, I would have come to find you a long time ago."

"Hey, it's useless for third brother to be envious. I got this all because of my good fortune! By the way, didn't third brother marry a female cultivator from the Bai family? What's the situation now?"

Hearing that the third brother was envious of him, Xu Zhiyu was very proud, and then asked his grandfather about the current situation of the third brother. After all, they had a good relationship, and they had not seen each other for several years, so they really missed him.

"It's great. Not only are they married, but his wife is pregnant. She will give birth soon."

"Oh, I didn't catch up with the third brother's wedding, and I probably won't catch up with the baby this time. Grandpa, then I'll ask you to bring me a gift to show your love!"

Xu Zhiyu took out two first-level high-grade spiritual talismans from his storage bag and gave them to his grandfather, asking him to take them to his third brother.

"Huh? The invisibility talisman, you are so generous. What is the success rate of this invisibility talisman now?" Xu Shengsheng asked as he put away the talisman.

"Back to my grandfather, it's already 40%!"

"Okay, very good. I have brought you two hundred pieces of materials this time. You should hurry up and draw them all in the past two years. Before the beast tide breaks out, I hope that everyone in the family who participates in the war will have one copy!"

"My grandson obeys the order. It just so happens that my grandson thinks the same way."

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
