Chapter 200 The Great Elder takes over (2600 words, sorry)

Ling Yunhong left the Lingtian area and went to the General Affairs Hall.

At this time, there were two people in the General Affairs Hall.

One of them is the Great Elder Ling Ruxian, and the other is Ling Pengliang.

The two of them were using an abacus together to calculate the number of Ling's account books and check whether there were any errors in the account books.

Ling Pengliang, who was fiddling with his abacus, saw Ling Yunhong's arrival. He quickly stopped fiddling with his abacus and said hello.

"Third great-grandfather."

Ling Ruxian, who was on the side, saw Ling Yunhong's arrival, his expression lit up, and he asked with a slightly expectant tone.

"Yunhong, among the Shiling walnuts produced by the Shiling walnut tree on the top of the mountain, how many Shiling walnuts have successfully reached the second level?"

Three days ago, Ling Jinxian also knew that the Shiling Walnut Tree absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from Lingxiao Mountain.

When the fifty-eight Shiling walnuts on the Shiling walnut tree broke through to the second level, he often went to the top of the mountain to watch.

It's just that the affairs in the mountain are inseparable, so it's difficult for him to stay beside the Shiling walnut tree like Ling Yunhong, watching the stone spirit walnut tree help the spiritual fruits to break through the bottleneck.

Ling Yunhong heard this and said with a smile.

"Uncle Eleven, out of the fifty-eight Stone Spirit Walnuts on the Stone Spirit Walnut Tree this time, thirty-three have successfully entered the second level."

After saying that, Ling Yunhong called out fifty-eight jade lock boxes from the storage bag.

The items contained in these fifty-eight spirit-locking jade boxes are exactly the fifty-eight stone spirit walnuts produced by the stone spirit walnut tree this time.

Fifty-eight spirit-locking jade boxes were divided into two parts by Ling Yunhong.

Among them, twenty-five first-grade high-grade Stone Spirit Walnuts and twenty second-grade low-grade Stone Spirit Walnuts were placed on the counter of the General Affairs Hall.

"Uncle Eleven, the spiritual power contained in those twenty-five first-grade top-grade stone spirit walnuts is richer than the ordinary first-grade top-grade stone spirit walnuts. They are reserved for the clan's own use."

"As for the twenty second-grade low-grade stone spirit walnuts, they belong to the other four major families in Huaishui County. After a while, you will send someone to inform the people of the other four major families about this and ask them to come to the Ling family to get them. If so, we can avoid any unexpected risks when we personally deliver the spiritual fruit to the four major families."

The Stone Spirit Walnut tree on the top of Lingxiao Mountain was acquired by the Ling family together with the other four foundation-building families during the Demon Extermination War. Naturally, all five families had a share of the second-level Stone Spirit Walnut tree harvested, but the shares were different. That’s all.

Then, Ling Yunhong pointed to the remaining thirteen spirit-locking jade boxes containing second-grade low-grade stone spirit walnuts in front of him and said.

"Uncle Eleven, these thirteen second-level low-grade spiritual fruits are the remaining ones after excluding the remaining four families that need to be given to Huaishui County. I plan to rely on these thirteen spiritual fruits to try to break through the cultivation level, so I will not give them to Pengyun, Peng Xing and the others, if I have extra second-level low-grade stone spirit walnuts after I break through, I will share them with Peng Yun and Peng Xing."

"As for these thirteen second-grade low-grade stone spirit walnuts being taken away from the family's account, the contribution points spent will be deducted from my account."

When Ling Jin first heard that apart from the four major families in Huaishui County, there were still thirteen second-level low-grade stone spirit walnuts left, he looked overjoyed and asked with a smile on his face.

"Yunhong, with these thirteen second-order low-grade spiritual fruits, are you sure you can break through to the sixth level of foundation building?"

"Yes." Ling Yunhong nodded in response.

"It's good to be sure." Ling Ru heard the words first, and his face became even more joyful.

Ling Yunhong's entry into the sixth floor of the foundation was the key to Ling's future plans for the snake cave spiritual vein that he and Yang would jointly occupy.

"Uncle Eleven, do you still remember that three years ago, when the walnuts produced by the Shiling walnut tree entered the second level, I will retreat to the second line and take care of myself in peace and quiet." Ling Yunhong looked at Ling beside him. Peng Liang asked with a smile.

Ling Jinxian's expression was stagnant. After half a breath, he came back to his senses and replied.

"Of course I remember that after these three years, Peng Liang has been able to independently handle all the trivial matters in the clan, and is enough to assume the position of the family elder."

Ling Yunhong said with a smile. "It's a good thing, the eleventh uncle is about to start. Peng Liang will temporarily take over the position of the family elder and handle family affairs. He will receive the elder's salary. When Peng Liang enters the cultivation realm and reaches the perfection of Qi training, he will officially become the family elder. "

"As for the Eleventh Uncle, you will step back to the second line and take care of your old age with peace of mind. In view of your hard work and achievements as the Great Elder, you have been specially appointed to be awarded the title of Life-long Great Elder. The engraving will still be based on the original salary. You will not be affected by it because you are taking care of your old age in the clan. Your salary is missing.”

"Peng Liang will inherit your position. I already told you three years ago that it would be too troublesome to summon all the senior officials in the clan."

"Eleventh Uncle, you will pass the news that Peng Liang has taken over your position to the clan members in the clan. This will also help Peng Liang establish his prestige in case any clan members are dissatisfied."

Ling Pengliang and Ling Ruxian had different expressions when they heard this.

The former had a look of uncontrollable joy, even though Ling Pengliang knew that Ling Jinxian had to improve himself three years ago when he studied "Business Management" with Ling Ruxian.

But when it came to the moment of promotion, the joy in my heart was still uncontrollable.

After all, the elders of the clan are at the top of the family, not to mention the position of great elder among the many.

The position of elder was something that he had been thinking about for a long time.

As for the latter, Ling Jinxian felt as if a weight of ten thousand pounds had been placed on his body at this moment, and his waist was straightened a little.

He is not a person who is infatuated with power. Decades ago, like Ling Yunhong and others, he concentrated on cultivating one path, and his qualifications are extraordinary. Although he has three spiritual roots, his cultivation speed is not slower than that of ordinary two spirits. Root monk.

At the age of 48, he had reached the perfection of Qi training. If the Ling family was not a small Qi training family at that time, although they had a lot of spiritual stones in reserve, they did not dare to show their wealth and buy spiritual objects for foundation building due to the rampant demon cultivators in Yunshui County, which led to the missed time for foundation building.

If the great elder of the previous generation had not entrusted the mature Ling Ruxian to serve as the great elder of the family before his death, Ling Ruxian, who was far superior to his peers, would never have served as the great elder who had to deal with many affairs in the family and spent a lot of time.

The position of the great elder seemed to be glorious in the eyes of others, but Ling Ruxian did not like it.

"If it was decades ago, when I was in my generation, the family had a foundation-building cultivator sitting in charge, and I could spend spiritual stones to buy spiritual objects for foundation building, relying on spiritual objects for foundation building, I would dare to try to build a foundation, who knows..."

Ling Ruxian secretly regretted and sighed.

When Ling Ruxian was distracted, Ling Yunhong spoke again. "The spiritual fruit of the stone spirit walnut tree and the succession of the position of the great elder have been dealt with. I will return to the mountaintop cultivation cave to take the remaining thirteen second-level low-grade stone spirit walnuts in my hand to close the long gate and seek a breakthrough."

"As for the tedious matter of the succession of the great elder, it will be left to you, Uncle Eleven, and Peng Liang to deal with."

Ling Yunhong left this and turned into a breeze and quickly left the general affairs hall.

And Ling Pengliang in the general affairs hall also bowed to the absent-minded elder of the previous generation of the family, Ling Ruxian, with a grateful face after Ling Yunhong left.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, thank you for your promotion. This favor will never be forgotten by the younger generation. If there are talents in your lineage in the future, I will definitely do my best to promote them and repay your kindness today."

Ling Ruxian heard these words and came back to his senses. He was very satisfied and said.

"Your words are enough, but you need to remember that although the family elder has many affairs to deal with, they are all very simple affairs, just a little troublesome. The real difficulty of this position is to resist the temptation of the large amount of resources flowing through your hands. If you can't stick to it and embezzle the spiritual objects of the clan, you will definitely not have a good end."

"Although the clan leader does not take care of the affairs of the clan, he often goes to the clan treasury. The number of spiritual objects in the clan is basically known to the clan leader."

"And at the end of the year, you also need to hand over the annual account books to the clan leader for verification. Once there is a loophole, it will not only be you who will be blamed, but even your descendants will be affected."

"You must pay attention to this matter."

"Of course, when you become the family elder, your monthly salary will not be less, enough for your daily practice, and there will even be surplus."

"I understand, eleventh great-grandfather, the younger generation will definitely remember your warning." Ling Pengliang heard Ling Ruxian's warning, his expression condensed, and nodded solemnly.

The crime of embezzling the spiritual objects of the clan is extremely serious and will lead to the clan being excluded.

"Well, come with me and gather all the clan members outside the ancestral temple to let them witness the elders' succession. This will be good for you to be the chief elder of the clan in the future and save you a lot of trouble." Ling Ruxian nodded and said.

Ling Pengliang naturally knew the significance of the elders' succession for the clan members to see, and quickly agreed to follow Ling Ruxian to gather the women, children, the elderly, and some of the clan members' Taoist companions outside the ancestral temple halfway up the mountain.
