Chapter 45: Clan Protection Formation
"I may save a little in the future. After all, the nine major branches of the main line are no longer direct descendants, so the salary will be much less."
Ye Jiulong continued.
Ye Changsheng and Ye Jiuhu looked at each other.
Ye Jiuhu waved his hand: "The treatment of the original nine direct branches will remain unchanged. From now on, they will be called the nine main branches."
"Direct vein, main vein, side vein, follow this order from now on."
"Okay, okay, I would like to thank the Supreme Elder on behalf of the hundreds of people in the main clan."
Ye Jiulong said a little happily.
"Haha, we are all one family. I am promoted to Foundation Establishment. If I don't have the favor, how can I reduce the salary of my clan members?"
Ye Jiuhu said.
"Regarding the purchase of the clan protection formation, our direct descendants can contribute some spiritual stones, but we need you, the clan leader, to exchange them for family contribution points."
Ye Changsheng said.
Ye Jiuhu also nodded.
"Okay, okay, I wonder how many spiritual stones the direct lineage can produce?"
Ye Jiulong asked expectantly.
"Alas! It seems that this time we will not be able to survive without blood."
"Two thousand high-grade spiritual stones came out of the direct vein."
Ye Changsheng said with a look of regret.
Unlike Ye Changsheng who has access to the Celestial Palace, the clan protection formation in Longnan's Immortal Realm is relatively expensive.
Normally it would be around 200,000 spirit stones, but at auction it would be 2.78 million spirit stones.
After Ye Changsheng finished speaking, he took out the two thousand high-grade spiritual stones that he had prepared.
"Okay, okay, since it is a high-grade spiritual stone, I will give the direct lineage 220,000 contribution points."
Ye Jiulong said with great joy.
High-grade spiritual stones are rare, and the exchange rate in the Longnan Immortal World is usually one to one hundred and ten.
"Okay, then Jiulong and I will visit the surrounding markets in the near future and buy the clan protection array."
"As for the spiritual pulse, it won't be too late to improve it after the clan's finances have calmed down in a few years."
"The clan-protecting formation that I bought soon will only cost more spiritual stones to support."
Ye Jiuhu said.
"Indeed!"
Ye Jiulong nodded.
After some time, Ye Jiuhu and Ye Jiulong visited the surrounding major foundation building and Zifu families to ask for clues about the second-level clan protection formation.
In name, he wanted to purchase a family protection formation, but in fact, he was officially informing the outside world that the Ye family had now become a foundation-building family.
Then at the Fenglei Pavilion auction that was held not long ago, he spent 240,000 spirit stones to purchase a second-level low-grade clan-protecting array, the Seven-Star Flame Array.
Later, a second-level array mage was hired at a high price to install and debug the seven-star flame array.
Waiting for the moment when the second-level formation was installed, the whole family celebrated, which also marked that the Ye family had officially become a second-level foundation-building force.
After the celebration, the Ye family returned to peace.
Ye Changsheng was called to "Tiger Garden" by Ye Jiuhu again to discuss clan affairs.
"Ye Jiulong gave me the bottom line today. The family's current assets include: 1,200 acres of first-grade low-grade spiritual land, 400 acres of first-grade medium-grade spiritual land, 80 acres of first-grade high-grade spiritual land, and annual spiritual stones. Ten thousand pieces; a first-level low-grade spiritual mine with an annual output of 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones. There are eleven first-level medium-grade Qingye Bamboo Gardens, with a total of more than 10,000 bamboos, and an annual income of 60,000 spiritual stones. This is the family's largest asset; the rest are fragments of spiritual medicine gardens and spiritual beast farms. , Fangshi shops, etc., produce more than 10,000 spiritual stones every year.”
Ye Jiuhu said to Ye Changsheng.
"The clan earns 80,000 to 90,000 spirit stones every year. What about the expenses?"
Ye Changsheng asked.
"The salary of the clan members is more than 40,000 spiritual stones a year, and the purchase of elixirs is more than 20,000 spiritual stones. In addition to miscellaneous expenses, the salary is more than 10,000 spiritual stones. The annual expenditure is 70,000 spiritual stones."
Ye Jiuhu said.
"Then it looks like this family is really not easy to run. Your salary has been increased this year, and our family's salary has also been increased. In addition, coupled with the daily consumption of spiritual stones by the clan protection formation, there may not be any spiritual stones left this year. "
Ye Changsheng said.
"I have the final say in the family now. It is both a right and a responsibility. Changsheng, can you see if there is any additional investment in our Ye family's industry?"
Ye Jiuhu asked.
"Of course I have a lot of ideas, but due to the current state of the Ye family, there are so many ideas that I can't put them into practice for the time being."
"If we want to increase our family's income, we have to wait a few years. We can't rush this matter right away."
Ye Changsheng said.
"Well, there's really no rush."
Ye Jiuhu said.
"Grandpa, I think the most important thing right now is to improve Qinghu Peak's spiritual veins."
"Of course, there are also your secret cards, Grandpa. I am going to buy these in the Heavenly Palace."
Ye Changsheng said.
"Okay, then it's all thanks to you for longevity."
Ye Jiuhu said.
After bidding farewell to Ye Jiuhu, Ye Changsheng returned to his Eternal Life Garden.
Arriving at the retreat room, his figure flashed to the space of the True Dragon Immortal Tree.
The space is filled with a concentration of spiritual energy equivalent to a first-order high-grade spiritual vein.
Ye Changsheng plans to break through the seventh level of Qi refining here.
He has been staying at the sixth level of Qi Refining for several months, and today he is finally about to break through.
Ye Changsheng sat down cross-legged and took the panacea given to him by his grandfather Ye Jiuhu.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and completely immersed his consciousness in the spiritual sea within his body.
The panacea gradually melted in his body and turned into infinite spiritual power, pouring into his meridians. This spiritual power was gentle but full of explosive power, as if a dragon was swimming through his body. He carefully guided these spiritual powers and gradually gathered them into his Dantian.
As the spiritual power gathered, Ye Changsheng felt waves of heat coming from his Dantian, as if a ball of flame was burning.
He knew this was a sign of a breakthrough, so he focused more on controlling the flow of his spiritual power. His breathing gradually became steady and powerful, and with every breath, he absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy into his body and used it for his own benefit.
Suddenly, he felt that the spiritual power in his dantian had reached a limit, as if it was about to break through some kind of restraint.
He was startled, and immediately operated the technique, gathering all the spiritual power together, and fiercely rushed towards the barrier.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound exploded in his body, and the barrier broke with a sound. In an instant, a powerful spiritual power gushed out from his dantian and quickly spread to his limbs.
His whole body shook, as if he was struck by lightning, and the spiritual power in his body quickly grew, and an unprecedented sense of power filled his body.
Ye Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, felt the surging spiritual power in his body, and knew that he had successfully broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt that his body was lighter and stronger than before.
After the breakthrough, the body seemed to have been reforged, and every inch of muscle was full of strength.
"Finally broke through!"
Ye Changsheng smiled slightly.
He had a lot of things to buy in the Heavenly Palace this time, and now there were only 10,000 high-grade spirit stones left in his storage bag.
So he had to continue to promote the birth of valuable first-level spirit fruit trees.
The most valuable first-level spirit fruit tree in Ye Changsheng's hands was of course the longevity peach.
