Chapter 73 Great Grandmother's Mission
It took some time to hastily clean up the corpses of the monsters in the defense zone.

Fourteenth Uncle has led several uncles to sort out the bodies of the twenty-two fallen clan members, but they can only sort them out roughly, as many of them cannot be found completely.

All the tribesmen spontaneously gathered in a circle. No one spoke. The atmosphere was heavy and depressing. Some people sobbed softly, probably because some close friends had died here.

Although monks are detached from the world, they are, after all, just mortals who have mastered great powers. They have the same emotions and desires, happiness, anger, sorrow, sadness, and worry, as well as the same selfish thoughts!

Especially when seeing the uncles and aunts who were hunting and laughing together a few days ago, now lying on the cold ground, you can truly experience the cruelty and ruthlessness of the world of cultivation!

Lin Changqing imprinted this scene deeply in his mind and told himself to always remember everything that happened today so as to motivate himself not to stop moving forward.

In this cruel world of cultivating immortals, only by possessing powerful strength can you protect what you want to protect and do what you want to do!

At this time, the clan leader and grandfather came back. Although they looked tired, they were not injured, so Lin Changqing felt relieved.

In this way, all sixty-one surviving monks of the Lin family are present.

After a moment of silence, the clan leader said, "The hundreds of thousands of monsters that attacked this time were basically wiped out, except for a few flying monsters.

Based on past experience, after this beast tide, there shouldn’t be any more monsters this strong, only a few scattered monsters that don’t form a large scale will remain!”

After hearing what the patriarch said, although the occasion was not right, everyone couldn't help but cheer. After all, this time it was really too dangerous, and life and death were just a fine line apart. No one wanted to experience it again.

The clan leader continued, "However, just in case, during this period of time, you should leave half of the troops for the clan members to guard the clan's defense area.

Everyone should thank Qing'er this time. Everyone should have received his help, right? Including Xiaoxiang and me, we have all received Qing'er's help. If it weren't for him this time, at least half of the people here would have collapsed.

I just came from another defense zone. Every area suffered heavy casualties. Some families even had only seven or eight people left, and only one in ten independent cultivators remained. They were almost completely wiped out.

Our family suffered the least casualties in this beast tide, so someone will definitely come to investigate the cause later.

I have only one request to everyone, and that is not to spread anything about Qing'er.

Anyone who spreads this will be charged with treason, and I will not show mercy. Did you hear me?

If outsiders really come to investigate the cause, they can say that this time the family and the monks were well prepared in advance."

After hearing the clan leader's words, the uncles and aunts present solemnly expressed their agreement and commitment to obey the clan leader's instructions, and swore a solemn oath not to spread any information about Lin Changqing.

"Everyone, go and redeem your contribution points in batches! Xiaoxiang, collect the bodies of the fallen tribesmen and seal their relics. Also collect the monsters they killed and redeem them for contribution points.

Then convert it into family contribution points and return it to their families! And we need to arrange the garrison rotation. "After saying that, the clan leader waved to Lin Changqing.

The two walked to the side, and the clan leader said, "Qing'er, you did a great job this time. The reward will be given to you after we return to the ancestral mountain and discuss it."

"Thank you, Chief. This is what I should do. I can't just watch my clansmen die in front of me when I have the ability!" Lin Changqing said helplessly.

The clan leader laughed and said, "It is a great fortune for the clan to have Qing'er with us during this beast tide. At that time, your grandfather wanted you to join the conscription, but I disagreed. Fortunately, he insisted on having you join."

Lin Changqing touched his head and said, "Grandpa never said this."

The clan leader nodded and continued, "It's inevitable that someone will notice this time. Qing'er, you have to be careful. It's best not to run around. It's best to stay in a safe place."

"I understand, don't worry, Patriarch, I won't joke about my own safety." Lin Changqing said seriously.

After hearing what Lin Changqing said, the clan leader nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is the best. No matter if outsiders know about it or not, it won't give others a chance to get involved.

I see you are still full of energy, so stay here to guard the defense zone first!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Changqing said helplessly: "Chief, after the battle just now, many scorpions were injured. I want to go back and treat them first."

When the clan leader heard this, he quickly said, "Then come back with me later! It will be safer this way." "That's great, thank you, clan leader!" Lin Changqing quickly thanked the clan leader.

After informing his father and second uncle that they were going to exchange the monster corpses for contribution points, Lin Changqing decided not to go with them.

After a while, the clan leader and grandfather came over together, and the three of them walked towards the residence together.

On the way, Grandpa patted Lin Changqing on the shoulder and said, "Well done, Qing'er, you did a great job. Grandpa is proud of you! Bringing you here is the best decision Grandpa has ever made."

Lin Changqing was a little embarrassed and said, "It's nothing, I just did what I could!"

The clan leader also spoke up at this time: "You have done a good job. In fact, ever since Qing'er took out the Hundred Flowers Soul-Intoxicating Wine last time, I had an idea. I wanted Qing'er to be the clan leader. What do you think?"

When Lin Changqing heard this, he quickly refused: "No, no, I have never thought about it. This is too outrageous."

Grandpa also shook his head and said, "Too young, maybe in another 20 or 30 years it might be appropriate."

The clan leader also sighed and said, "He is indeed a little young. It would be better if he were ten years older."

He glanced at Lin Changqing and continued, "By the way, after this beast tide is over and we return to Qingyun City, Qing'er, come with me to see my great-grandmother!"

Grandpa was a little surprised and said, "Is this what the clan leader meant?"

The clan leader nodded and said, "That's right. This time, she asked to see the great grandmother. Her intention was to find a younger generation under the age of 18 in the Lin family with outstanding cultivation and combat power to help her do something.

Originally I wanted Lin Changyuan to go, but now it seems Qing'er is more suitable."

"Are you going to help our great grandmother do something? She should have quite a few disciples and followers, right? She shouldn't need anyone to send her around!" Lin Changqing didn't want to go. He just wanted to go back to Jiufeng Mountain and continue to practice until he reached the foundation-building stage before doing anything else.

Grandpa patted Lin Changqing lightly and said seriously: "Your great grandmother has protected the Lin family for hundreds of years. It can be said that her kindness to the Lin family is as great as a mountain.

It's a rare occasion that the Lin family has something to do, so you must do your best to complete it and never bring shame to the Lin family."

Well, since I can't change it, I can only accept it.

Lin Changqing readily agreed and promised to complete the task assigned by his great-grandmother. Only then did the clan leader and grandfather feel relieved.

After returning to his residence, Lin Changqing habitually used his spiritual sense to check every place, and only entered the space after confirming that it was safe.

As soon as he came in, Lu Youqiang's family surrounded him. It seemed that after eating the red fruit, Lu Youqiang also tasted the sweetness. Now the whole family is very enthusiastic. Lu Xiaoling even came over and rubbed Lin Changqing's hand.

Of course Lin Changqing wasn't polite and he just held Lu Xiaoling in his arms and stroked its fur. It struggled a little at first, but gradually got used to it.

She leaned her head directly on Lin Changqing's shoulder and closed her eyes comfortably. The fur of the tricolor deer felt very comfortable to the touch and was very good.

Lin Changqing almost forgot about his main business and released more than a hundred injured amethyst scorpions. Lu Youqiang and Lu Xiaoya were so scared that they ran away quickly, and Lu Xiaoling in his arms was so scared that she started to tremble.

Lin Changqing hurried to comfort it. It seemed that it had a very deep impression of the Amethyst Scorpion. That’s right, only those who have been stung by it can understand this kind of deep impression.

He hurriedly explained to them through the contract that they would be partners fighting together from now on and were not allowed to hurt each other. He assured them that this time he would ask Lu Youqiang's family to help treat the Amethyst Scorpion.

After explaining for a long time, Lu Youqiang and the others slowly approached, and then stood at a relatively far distance and performed the rejuvenation technique, which made Lin Changqing laugh and cry. However, the Amethyst Scorpion did feel better after the rejuvenation technique was performed.

Because there were so many injured amethyst scorpions, Lu Youqiang's family took a long time to treat them all.

After feeding Lu Youqiang and the others each a spiritual pill, he inspected the places where the spiritual herbs were planted, and when he found nothing wrong, he left the space.
