Chapter 4: Jiufeng Mountain Lin Family
This is a mountain with beautiful scenery and picturesque views, surrounded by thick layers of clouds.
This mountain was well managed from the foot to the top, with spiritual fields of varying sizes opened up.
Most of them grow various kinds of first-level spiritual rice full of vitality, and a small part grows spiritual fruit trees.
Every spiritual plant strives to stretch out its tender buds, enjoying the sunshine that fills the sky and earth.
In every spiritual field, there must be one or several people busy working, but their farming methods are slightly different.
Someone was plowing the field, pulling a huge bull.
Some people have sharp metal needles of different colors growing on their fingertips and use them to kill pests.
Someone was changing various complicated hand seals, summoning bursts of spiritual rain to irrigate the spiritual fields.
This is the base camp of the Lin family, the main peak of Jiufeng Mountain, a third-grade lower-grade spiritual vein.
The nine peaks were arranged with the third-grade lower-grade Nine-Curve Cloud River Formation. It was planned by Lin Guangcheng, the ancestor of the Lin family who was in the Purple Mansion period, and invited his good friend from the inner sect of the Qingyun Sect, the third-grade formation master Chen Yunxia, to spend a large amount of money to set it up.
I heard that the two were childhood sweethearts and grew up together in the same village.
Later, the two had the good fortune to enter Qingyun Sect together and have known each other for more than two hundred years. Chen Yunxia has been in love with Lin Guangcheng since childhood.
Unfortunately, Lin Guangcheng was devoted to seeking the truth, and in the end the two did not end up together.
Later, Lin Guangcheng was seriously injured during a mission and his journey was cut off.
He applied to leave Qingyun Sect, spent most of his fortune and used up most of Qingyun Sect's connections to purchase the Jiufeng Mountain.
Here, the Lin family of immortal cultivation was founded, they married and had children, multiplied, and passed down their skills and generation order.
Broad virtue brings overflowing happiness, and prosperity brings long-lasting life.
Let us all work together to pass on the torch.
There are 20 generations in total, and each Jiazi period counts as one generation.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Thirty years later, the Lin family's ancestor, Lin Guangcheng, suffered a relapse of his serious injury. Knowing that he would not survive this time, he faced the direction of Qingyun Sect and passed away on the top of Jiufeng Mountain.
Before his death, he left a letter and the rare treasure Sansheng Stone to Chen Yunxia.
He told her that he knew that his spiritual roots and cultivation were not as good as hers in this life, so he felt that he was not worthy of her, but he had been trying hard to catch up with her, but in the end, it was fate that played tricks on him.
There is no chance for them to be together in this life, so the Three Lives Stone is left behind. If Chen Yunxia is willing, they can sign a contract and establish this unbreakable agreement for three lifetimes to continue in the next life.
After receiving the letter in Qingyun Sect, Chen Yunxia burst into tears and was extremely sad. Her beautiful hair turned white overnight.
Afterwards, he personally went to Jiufeng Mountain and saw Lin Guangcheng off in white clothes. He also asked the descendants of the Lin family to call her grandmother and visit her regularly in Qingyun Sect.
Speaking of the rare Three Lives Stone, to a heartless person, it is worthless.
But for lovers all over the world, it is a priceless treasure.
Legend has it that two people in love each imprint a trace of their soul into the Three Lives Stone, and sacrifice the Three Lives Stone as a sacrifice to return it to heaven and earth.
Then no matter how many reincarnations they go through, fate will always guide the two to meet again.
No matter how far apart they are, fate will always lead them to meet again. They are attracted to each other and are lingering on for eternity. It takes three lifetimes to resolve this obsession.
Therefore, this is the most important support and reliance of the Lin family in Qingyun Sect. It is also one of the reasons why the Lin family has survived the crisis of extinction several times.
Every few years, core members of the Lin family would go to Qingyun Sect to ask for an audience with this great-grandmother who was not a great-grandmother. She was now in the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage.
But I haven't seen this great grandmother for several times recently. She has been in seclusion and has been received by her disciples.
The Lin family is now one of the thirteen foundation-building families in Pingyang Prefecture. Since the Lin family's ancestor passed away, although there has been no Purple Mansion cultivator in the Lin family for more than three hundred years, there have always been foundation-building cultivators from generation to generation.
At most times, there are five or six foundation-building cultivators, and in the most dangerous times, there is always a foundation-building cultivator guarding the family. Although there is no longer the majesty of the ancestor when he was alive, it has been passed down and has been passed down for eight generations so far.
The Lin family now has three cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, more than two hundred cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage, and nearly one million ordinary clan members.
However, only clan members with spiritual roots can be included in the family tree, and ordinary clan members are not included. After several generations of the Lin family, the mountain protection formation has been continuously managed and improved for nearly three hundred years. The formation now has the functions of a maze, a trap, a killing formation, and a spirit gathering formation.
If the formation is presided over by a foundation-building cultivator, it can completely resist the attacks of purple mansion cultivators. It is the most important mountain-protecting formation of the Lin family, and has protected the Lin family from the crisis of extinction many times.
In order to ensure the smooth inheritance of his family, the family patriarch Lin Guangcheng drew on many systems of the Qingyun Sect and other large families and formulated the Lin family rules.
Because Jiufeng Mountain is located on the edge of the Qingyun Mountains, it is often threatened by monsters and beasts deep in the mountains.
Under such circumstances, the family incorporated all family monks over the age of 18 into the family monster hunting team, and they took turns in batches to hunt monsters in the family territory and surrounding areas.
This is done to prevent monsters from breeding and threatening the safety of mortals and cultivators in the family. At the same time, it can also harvest spiritual medicines, spiritual materials and other spiritual objects for cultivation.
Although there are certain dangers for family members to participate in monster hunting activities, they can also gain training in the battles with monsters, which is especially beneficial to their own practice.
The monster materials and various spiritual objects obtained during the monster hunting process can also meet some of one's own cultivation needs.
The monster materials, elixirs and other spiritual objects you obtain while hunting monsters in the mountains can be turned over to the clan treasury, or you can choose to keep them for yourself.
Every time a monster is killed, the family will give a certain contribution point based on the monster's level and the degree of harm it causes.
The family will also give corresponding family contribution points according to the value of the monster materials and various spiritual objects handed over to the clan treasury.
Each family contribution point is roughly equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone, and clan members can also use contribution points to exchange for the various immortal cultivation resources they need from the clan treasury.
Some particularly precious spiritual objects, such as foundation-building pills and other level-breaking elixirs, require family contribution points to exchange.
This family contribution point system motivates every family member to acquire resources for cultivating immortals.
Family contribution points are mainly obtained by completing family tasks. There are many kinds of family tasks, and contribution points can be obtained by guarding Lingshan for the family, farming, refining medicine, refining weapons, making talismans, fighting, hunting monsters, etc.
In short, the more you work, the more you get, and if you don't work, you get nothing.
The next day when Lin Changqing arrived at the secret base, there were already five friends inside.
Everyone was comforting the little fat boy Lin Bo. Lin Bo was in a low mood with red and swollen eyes, and it was obvious that he had cried a lot in the past two days.
Lin Qing didn't know what to say, he could only promise to visit him when he had time.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fat boy will be sent to a small town where the ordinary members of the Lin family gather.
His parents have already made arrangements and will ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Lin Qing distributed the peaches he had obtained from his grandfather yesterday to everyone, and saw that no one was in a very good mood.
Normally when there are peaches to eat, I would gobble them up with great joy, wishing I could have another one after I finish one.
He sighed and asked, "What are everyone's spiritual roots?"
Lin Jie was the first to speak: "I have four spiritual roots, and the best fire spiritual root is 37 points. I should be able to practice fire attribute skills in the future."
Lin Hao continued, "I have five spiritual roots, but my gold spiritual root is 45 points. I should practice gold-attributed skills in the future."
Lin Yuan said: "I also have five spiritual roots, and my wood spiritual root is 32 points. I should be practicing wood attribute skills."
Lin Lian was the last to speak, and she was also the only girl among the group. "I have three spiritual roots, and my water spiritual root is 56 points. I should focus on water attribute skills."
Lin Qing also talked about his spiritual roots and mentioned going to school.
Lin Jie said that after entering school, the clan would give everyone generation names and arrange their generations in order, and everyone finally became interested.
They began to look forward to going to school, practicing, and the order of seniority. They all expressed their opinions and heard various news.
Driven by everyone, Lin Bo's mood became better, and he said that he would definitely marry more wives and have more children with spiritual roots in the future.
Let everyone be successful in their practice in the future and take more care of him. Everyone laughed and agreed.
After agreeing on a time to go to school together, everyone sent Lin Bo home, and Lin Qing and his friends went home.
