Chapter 97 Family Changes

In the side room of Fangmushan's meeting hall, there is a mahogany Eight Immortals table in the middle. new

A teapot on the table kept emitting wisps of white clouds of smoke.

On both sides of the Eight Immortals table, a young man in green shirt and a middle-aged monk in Taoist robes sat and talked across from each other.

The young monk was Lin Shiming who came from the Earth Fire Palace, and the middle-aged monk was Lin Shiming's uncle Lin Houyong.

The eldest elder Lin Yuqing, his father and the fifth elders all went to Lingnan County at this moment. At this moment, the Lin family's family affairs, large and small, are also in charge of the uncle.

In two months, the family's clan meeting will be held again, and at that time, Lin Shiming's appointment as the head of the family will be announced.

This is also the third clan meeting that Lin Shiming has participated in.

"The clan meeting is coming soon, Shi Ming. I have something to tell you in advance." Lin Houyong's expression was obviously not particularly good.

"In the past three years, the monks in the family have not changed much. There are nine monks at the ninth level of Qi training, two more. In the later stage of Qi training, the monks broke through six, but lost six more, and there are still twenty-eight. There are forty monks in the middle stage of Qi training, not to mention there are two fewer than in the last three years, even six years ago, but there are ninety monks in the early stage of Qi training, and there are twenty innate monks!"

After Lin Houyong finished speaking, Lin Shiming's face became a little ugly.

It has been six years since the doubling of salaries was implemented. In the past three years, the salaries of family monks have doubled, and there are additional rewards for refining alchemy and weapon refining. However, the growth of monks is even slightly worse than the previous three years.

Although several monks were sacrificed, you must know that the newly added late-stage monks and mid-term monks include geniuses such as Lin Shiming, Lin Shijie, and Lin Shitao.

This is completely unreasonable for a foundation-building family. new

Although the family was suppressed by the Li family, the Lin family's salary was distributed truthfully.

Even if the spiritual roots are a little different, it may be a little difficult for monks to increase in the later stage of Qi training, but it is absolutely impossible for monks to increase so little in the middle stage of Qi training.

This made Lin Shiming also feel a crisis, a crisis for the family.

He understood that this was related to the withdrawal of the family's demon hunting team from the Qingyun Mountains, and also to the waning of the family's enterprising spirit.

Family change is inevitable.

Otherwise, even if they reach the foundation building and the Zi Mansion, the Lin family will be just a castle in the air.

And how can the castle in the air fight against the Li family of the Zifu family? Even if it develops for another three hundred years, I am afraid that it will still be suppressed.

Maybe even disappear.

On that day, Lin Shiming negotiated with his eldest brother Lin Houyong for a whole day before leaving.

One day later, Lin Shiming appeared in Qinglian Pond again, and reported to the old patriarch Lin Xianzhi for a long time.

It wasn't until the changes took shape that Lin Shiming returned to the cave to polish his aura.

…

Two months passed quietly, and Fangmu Mountain was decorated with lights again. Except for the monks who stayed in Lingnan County and Xing County Fang City, all the Lin family monks returned.

Three years ago, all the Lin family monks' faces were glowing with joy. Compared with the previous three years, their complexion was obviously better.

Talking briefly in twos and threes is so leisurely!

Lin Shiming is also among them at the moment, but he is now at the elder's seat. Along with him is the newly appointed elder, Er Bolin's rear guard, eldest brother Lin Shijie. new

As the auspicious time came, Lin Xianzhi attended the event wearing a blue Taoist robe.

The Lin family first went to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. After the ancestor worship was completed, they returned to the meeting hall.

The highly respected Lin Xianzhi first announced:

"The Lin Family Meeting has started again after three years. I announce that from today on, Queen Lin and Queen Yuan Lin will be forever promoted to the Supreme Elder of Foundation Establishment, and enjoy the offerings of Foundation Establishment!"

"At the same time, Lin Shiming, the oldest generation in the family, will take over as the head of the family!"

Lin Xianzhi's voice was not loud, and his words were quite plain, but in the hearts of the Lin family monks, he was full of majesty and unquestionable.

None of the Lin family monks had any big objections to Lin Shiming's succession as head of the family. This matter had been foreshadowed even in the last three years of the clan meeting.

What's more, Lin Shiming has made a lot of contributions. Now Lin Shiming's contribution is higher than that of some elders in the family.

"Shi Ming, please report on the situation of the family monks in recent years!"

"Yes, seventh uncle!" Lin Shiming nodded, and then read again the data Lin Houyong gave him two months ago.

"In the past three years, there have been three foundation-building monks in the family, and two new foundation-building monks have been added, namely the first family head and Wu Bolin Houyong! What a joy to congratulate!"

"There are nine monks at the ninth level of Qi training. There are three more people. Lin Shiming, Lin Shijie, and the thirteenth uncle Lin Houwei. We are equally happy and congratulatory!"

"But!" Lin Shiming's eyes suddenly changed, and he bit the word very hard.

"In the late stage of Qi training, the monks broke through six people, but they lost another six people. There are still twenty-eight people. In the middle stage of Qi training, there are forty monks. Let alone the last three years, even there are two less than six years ago. People, there are monks in the early stage of Qi training, now there are ninety people, and there are twenty innate monks!"

"What does this mean?"

"This shows that some monks in this generation have begun to enjoy themselves. Some monks think that they have four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots, and they have begun to stop making progress!"

"Some of the three spiritual roots have also begun to relax!"

"But the family's increase in salary is not for you to be greedy for pleasure!"

When Lin Shiming said this, the faces of many young family monks suddenly changed.

Especially those monks who are in the early stage of Qi training and those who are in the middle stage of Qi training.

They were afraid that Lin Shiming would cancel the family's double salary system.

"The family must change!" Lin Shiming spoke again.

"The double salary value will be adjusted today!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone started to uproar, especially the thorn-headed monk among them, who kept underestimating him.

The next moment, the pressure belonging to Lin Shiming's ninth level Qi training appeared, followed by the pressure of all the ninth level Qi training elders.

Then came the pressure from Lin Xianzhi!

Not all the foundation-building pressure was released, but everyone was a little scared at this moment.

Only then did they remember.

In the family, the foundation building has not yet enjoyed itself, and the elders of the ninth level of Qi training have not yet enjoyed it.

"From today on, the double salary will be cancelled, but the double salary for outstanding monks will be retained!"

"What is an outstanding monk? Those who have improved two levels in the first three years of Qi training are outstanding monks, those who have improved one level in the middle three years of Qi training are outstanding monks, and those who have improved one level in the last six years of Qi training are outstanding monks!"

"At the same time, those who can challenge and win by leapfrogging are also outstanding monks!"

"Those who have completed the assessment of four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots will have their salary tripled, and those who have surpassed two levels will also have their salary tripled! It will increase in order!"

Following Lin Shiming's eloquent talk, all the young monks in the Lin family felt crazy.

Initially, they were still disgusted with the reduction in salary, but when they heard that jumping two levels could triple their salary, and completing four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots could triple their salary, most of them suddenly became satisfied.

And a small number of people who don't want to make progress dare not say a word at this moment.

However, this was not over yet. Lin Shiming moistened his throat again and said:

"In addition, for those who are not very talented but still want to enjoy the double salary of the family, they can choose to marry a wife and have a child. Giving birth to a five-spirit root will restore the double salary in March on the basis of the original reward. Giving birth to a four-spirit root will restore the original reward. Basically, double salary will be restored for one year and a three-spiritual root will be born. Based on the original reward, double salary will be restored for six years. A monk with double spiritual roots will be restored. Based on the original reward, triple basic salary will be restored for ten years. A heavenly spirit or a monk, based on the original reward, will permanently restore three times the basic salary!"

As Lin Shiming spoke, the monks in the audience became more excited with each additional sentence.

Cultivation is difficult, but having children is not difficult after all.

Lin Shiming also calculated that children born to immortal cultivators generally have better spiritual roots and are more likely to have spiritual roots.

He had this reform plan, but he got inspiration from Lin Shizhong's father, since mortals can do it.

Then why can't some unprogressive immortal cultivators!

With Lingnan County and the gold and iron ore veins, the Lin family can fully afford the family's salary.

Now the family needs more monks and needs to make progress!
