Chapter 123: Worshiping ancestors and reforming the system

Li Changsheng looked back and saw Li Changming standing in the air with a calm expression.

"Thank you, brother!"

Li Changsheng nodded slightly to him, and the other clan members didn't say anything when they saw Li Changming.

At this time, Li Daozong on the side said: "Changsheng, it is a great joy for the family that you have formed an elixir, and you should comfort the deceased."

"What grandpa said makes sense!"

Li Changsheng also nodded in agreement. The family is not more important than the sect. They focus on blood connections. For any major event, ancestors need to be sacrificed. The family has a golden elixir, which represents the improvement of the family's status and strength. Naturally, it also wants to comfort the deceased ancestors.

Li Changming came back for this reason.

Li Daozong then looked at the crowd below: "Tongzhou, are you ready?"

After Li Changsheng successfully formed the elixir, Li Daozong secretly ordered Li Tongzhou to prepare all matters for the memorial ceremony.

"Fifth Uncle Qi, everything is ready!"

Li Tongzhou responded respectfully. He has now passed the age of destiny and is only a few decades away from the end of Qi refining.

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment, and then said to everyone: "Everyone tidy up the island first, and then gather in front of the ancestral hall!"

"yes!"

Afterwards, everyone dispersed and started to sort out the mess left by the thunder tribulation. Some of the elixirs showed signs of withering, and the formations needed to be rearranged.

Li Changsheng also took this opportunity to burn incense, bathe, and change his clothes.

An hour later, the Li family members gathered in front of a three-foot-high black hall. The plaque in the hall read "Hall of Heroes" in three large green characters. Everyone looked solemn and solemn.

As a golden glow flashed across the spot, Li Changsheng appeared in front of everyone.

I saw him wearing a dark green Taoist robe. His long black hair was tied behind his head by a purple gold crown. Two strands of hair naturally fell from his temples. He was majestic and yet steady. He really had the demeanor of a clan leader. .

The Hall of Heroes is a temple dedicated to the ancestors of the Li family. The door is usually closed. Li Changsheng took a breath and pushed the door open with his own hands.

"Squeak!"

The door slowly opened, and Li Changsheng took the lead and walked in. Behind him, people lined up to enter, and many people even stood outside the door.

The main hall is supported by eight pillars. In front of the hall is a cyan altar table with many offerings placed on it.

There are more than a hundred spiritual tablets placed above the altar table. In addition to the name of Li Qingyun, the ancestor of the Li clan, the top spiritual tablet also has the names of three women, namely Hu Qiaoyun, Yang Ziyue, and Lu Xiaoxiao.

These three people are all Taoist companions of Li Qingyun. Among them, Hu Qiaoyun is Li Qingyun's fellow junior sister. The two of them met first when they were first wives. The other two are concubines taken by Li Qingyun after he established his clan.

In fact, in the secular world, men are superior to women, and female relatives with other surnames are not eligible to go to the clan ancestral hall after death. However, in the world of immortality, as long as they are strong in cultivation or have made outstanding contributions to the family, they can be enshrined by future generations.

Below Li Qingyun are the ancestors of other generations, Li Changshan, Li Changxian..., Li Zhenyuan, Li Zhenling..., Li Shouren, Li Shoufa... Li Daokong, Li Daonian, Li Daoling, and many other members of the Tongzi generation below.

Looking at the densely packed memorial tablets, Li Changsheng's eyes were solemn, and so were the people behind him. Some people's eyes turned red when they saw some people's names, as if it brought back some memories.

Most of these dead clan members were in the Qi Refining Period, and some of them even had no bones. However, it was precisely because of this group of people that the foundation for the development of the Qingyun Li family was laid. No matter how the family develops in the future, they are worth it. Later generations will remember and worship.

At this time, Li Daozong on the side took out a stick of sandalwood and a roll of animal skin, and then handed them to Li Changsheng. Upon seeing this, Li Daolong quickly changed the offerings on the table.

Li Changsheng took the sandalwood and lit it, inserted it into the incense burner on the altar table, and then knelt on the futon under him. Everyone behind him also knelt down after seeing this.

"Today, Li Changsheng, the seventh-generation grandson of the Li family, has formed a golden elixir. He leads the clan to thank all the ancestors and inherit the inheritance from the ancestors. The Li family is reestablished in the Jindan family. I sincerely ask for the blessings of all the ancestors. May I, the Li family, be prosperous for thousands of generations. Immortal!"

"May I, the Li family, be prosperous and immortal forever!"

As Li Changsheng finished speaking, everyone behind him knelt down and shouted loudly, and the sound echoed throughout the ancestral hall. The sound waves were one after another, and they did not stop for a long time, until the silence returned to the ancestral hall.

After speaking, Li Changsheng burned the animal skin paper in his hand, and then everyone dispersed.

Not long after Li Changsheng returned to his residence, Li Tongzhou came to his door.

"Immortality!"

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Look, you have now broken through the Golden Core cultivation level, and I am also older. Being the head of the family again will bring disgrace to the family, so..."

Li Changsheng heard the words and pondered for a moment: "In that case, let me inform everyone to go to Qingyun Palace! I just have something to tell you."

"yes!"

After a while, the senior officials of the Li family gathered in Qingyun Hall, with Li Changsheng sitting high on the throne.

"Everyone, I have thought about it for a long time and believe that the previous family system is no longer suitable for managing the family, so I decided to change it!"

"Reform?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

"I combined the Ye family's management system and established the following seven halls, the Weapon Refining Hall, the Alchemy Hall, the Lingzhi Hall, the Yuling Hall, the Talisman Making Hall, the Fighting Hall, and the Dark Hall. Each hall has seven entrances. What do you think about the establishment of a hall master and two deputy hall masters? "

"I think it's okay. It's more convenient to manage this way, and the tribesmen also have better choices."

Li Daozong approved of it, and the others had no objections.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng took out a book and said, "I now appoint Li Daozong as the head of the weapon refining hall, Li Changan as the deputy head, Li Daolong as the head of the fighting hall, I will temporarily be the head of the alchemy hall, Li Changxue as the head of the spirit control hall, and Li Tongtian as the head of the dark hall."

Looking at the empty spirit planting hall and talisman making hall, Li Changsheng was in a dilemma for a moment and closed the book: "For the remaining spirit planting hall and talisman making hall, if there are talisman makers and spirit planting masters who can enter the foundation building period, they will automatically be qualified for the position of the head."

"From now on, the family will adopt the contribution point system. The clan members will no longer issue spirit stones for offerings, but will issue them entirely with contribution points. Within the family, contribution points can be exchanged for any resources, including the spirit objects of the elixir."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked. The foundation building pill can be purchased with spirit stones, but the spirit objects of the elixir are one of the most precious spirit objects among the third-level spirit objects. Even if most of them are bartered at the auction, spirit stones are not so precious.

"Not counting clan members under 18, the monthly contribution points for Qi Refining Level 1 are 10 points, Qi Refining Level 2 is 20 points, and so on."

"Five hundred points per month in the early stage of foundation building, one thousand points in the middle stage, and so on. Those who have made great contributions to the family or contributed special spiritual objects will be rewarded separately."

"Also, clan members with professions such as weapon refiners, talisman makers, and alchemists will pay twice as much as ordinary clan members."

"Changsheng..."

Li Dao Zong was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Changsheng. He continued, "The contribution points for foundation building pills are 30,000, and the spiritual objects for forming pills are tentatively set at 300,000!"

The last time he went to the Ye family, he asked about the management system of the Ye family, but at that time he was still in the foundation building stage, and the response was not good if he mentioned it rashly. He had thought about this system many times.

He also understood what his grandfather meant. This would be a heavy burden on the family's property, but there was also an advantage. The existence of foundation building pills and forming pills would mobilize the enthusiasm of most people.

The previous system looked at either talent or relationships. Just like him, as a spiritual body, he could be cultivated by the whole clan without any objection. Even if he had five spiritual roots, the clan would not cultivate him, but he still had his grandfather to support him.

Many members of the clan had three, four, and five spiritual roots. Two spiritual roots could still be favored by some clan elders, while three spiritual roots were mediocre talents, neither good nor bad. Some people even had their relatives die early, and they had the opportunity to build a foundation, but when they thought that the foundation-building pill would cost 70,000 or 80,000 spiritual stones, or even more expensive, they gave up early and lost their heart to pursue the Tao, which was extremely detrimental to the development of the entire clan.
