Chapter 2 Epiphany (Part 1)
The paths of cultivators' cultivation are divided into nine realms: Qi training, Foundation building, Purple Mansion, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Transformation of God, Return to the Imperial Realm, Combining the Dao, and Mahayana, which are also collectively called the Nine Levels of Assessing the Dao.
Rumor has it that tens of thousands of years ago, the aftermath of the war between powerful people interrupted most of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, making the road to cultivation even more difficult.
Xiao Yichen was named Xiao Ran in his previous life. Born on Lanxing, he liked to explore secrets and had many imaginations about cultivating immortals and asking questions about Taoism.
In addition, he works as a design and collects rent on weekdays, and lives a carefree life.
At the beginning of time travel, Xiao Yichen also had the idea of exploring this world.
However, if you lack the level of your own cultivation, you cannot obtain many key information at all.
As far as he knows, the Qinghe Sect, a great immortal cultivation sect in Jing Kingdom, occupied the three states, and was also the overlord-level force in the Jing Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. It is rumored that the True Lord of the Yuanying was in charge.
The Sishui County where the Xiao family is located belongs to the sixteen counties of Yunguang, and is sandwiched between the Qinghe Sect and the Eastern Wilderness monsters.
The sixteen counties of Yunguang were divided into three Jindan sects. Although Ziyuan Sect monopolizes the nine, it was the front line of facing the monsters in the East Wilderness.
Due to this restraint, Ziyuan Sect has not developed for many years and has been repeatedly boycotted by the other two companies.
When the Xiao family in Xiqingshan was in its prime, it occupied the five counties of Xihuafu with the support of the ancestor Xiao Haiyun, and was also a overlord in Sishui County.
Even the most prosperous Xihuafang City in Sishui County also has a share of one-fifth of the Xiao family.
Now decades have passed, the power of the Xiao family has shrunk by more than half.
The only sphere of influence is Xihai County and Xihe County, and the share of Xihuafang City is less than one-tenth.
......
When Xiao Yichen first entered the foundation building, he still needed to completely consolidate his cultivation level.
Not only is he not suitable to engage in action with others, he still needs to meditate and practice Qi on weekdays, and to activate his true energy to stabilize his current cultivation.
According to his or her talent, the daily practice time limits of monks also vary.
Ordinary monks practice for up to four hours a day. If they continue to practice, they will cause meridians and damage to their physical body.
A cultivator like Xiao Yichen, who has a strong physical and meridian bearing capacity, can often surpass this limit.
He practices normally for six and a half hours in one day, and his body will not be burdened.
During extreme practice, you can also last for eight hours. You only need to take some spiritual medicine afterwards.
But not only does the price of spiritual medicines be expensive, but the body will also develop resistance when taken too much.
If it were not necessary, Xiao Yichen would not easily enable the extreme practice mode.
Practice requires relaxation and ease, and hard practice is not the best way.
While practicing, he reads miscellaneous notes and learns academic methods, which also belongs to a kind of self-regulation.
His predecessors had already made reminders at all kinds of painful costs, so he naturally would not go astray again.
This time, Xiao Yichen spoke at the ancestral temple, aiming to unite the hearts of the family and lay a solid foundation for his future power.
After taking over as the head of the Xiao family, he still needs to understand the situation of the Xiao family first, and then exercise his abilities with the assistance of the six elders.
This is both a supervision mechanism and a protection mechanism.
The function of the Presbyterian Church is to prevent him, the new head of the family, from doing arbitrary acts.
During this period, Xiao Yichen's proposal was decided whether to adopt it after the elders considered it.
As for the specific affairs of the Xiao family, the six foundation-building elders of the family Presbyterian Church will continue to be responsible for this.
The fifth elder Xiao Yueshan cultivates his foundation seventh floor, and usually lives in Xihua Fang City to protect the interests of the Xiao family’s 17 shops in the Fang City from being infringed.
The sixth elder Xiao Yinshan cultivates the fourth floor of foundation building, manages more than 100 acres of spiritual fields between Xihai County and Xihe County, and can also take care of more than 100,000 mortals of the Xiao family in the two counties.
The third elder Xiao Qianshan's sixth-level cultivation level is the most likely cultivator of the Xiao family to break through to the late stage of foundation building.
The fourth elder Xiao Wangshan has the fourth level of foundation building, and he is temporarily responsible for the safety of the Xiqingshan ancestral land.
Seventh Elder Xiao Yushan and Ninth Elder Xiao Jingshan both have the third level of foundation building cultivation and are currently working hard to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.
......
After Xiao Yichen watched the clan members leave the ancestral temple, he started chatting with the four elders.
This time he made a long time to break through the foundation building, and his family's recent situation has not yet been understood.
With the change of his identity and status, it was legitimate to participate in family affairs at this time.
"Elders, how is the family's current situation?"
Xiao Yichen didn't go around with these elders, and asked in a blunt manner.
The four elders were stunned for a moment, and they didn't seem to expect that the new head of the family would talk about family affairs here.
The place where the ancestral hall is located is a bit disrespectful.
Xiao Qianshan thought that the head of the family was still young and did not care much about himself, so he could guide him in the future.
He pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "What aspect is the head of the family asking?"
The Xiao family has many affairs, some errands and trivial matters may not even be clear about them.
There is no news about Xihuafang City and Qianmu Lingtian recently, and I think nothing can happen.
He even ignored the mortals of the Xiao family in the two counties.
When the cultivation level reaches the foundation-building stage, unless the Xiao family discovers good cultivation seedlings, these trivial matters will not be troubled by them at all.
There is nothing to talk about in the Xiao family's other major matters, so it's better to ask the head of the family what he wants to know.
The other three elders were silent and allowed Xiao Qianshan to respond.
Not only did the third elder have the highest status, they didn’t know what the new head of the family had intended.
It shouldn't be enough to seize power, just don't cause trouble for yourself and others.
Xiao Yichen was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that the elders of the family had such an attitude.
He simply wanted to understand family affairs more, but he didn't think about which aspect to start first.
I have never had this experience in my past and present life, and it really stumped him for a while.
He smiled softly: "Yi Chen had devoted all his thoughts to cultivation before, and he had not even done a few family tasks, and family affairs were just heard of."
Since he couldn't understand the thoughts of these elders, Xiao Yichen simply told his situation.
He believed that these elders would not be unaware of these, and there was no need to hide them.
Putting himself in his shoes, he would not have much hope for a young man in his twenties.
"cough..."
Xiao Qianshan coughed lightly, and immediately understood the meaning of the new head of the family.
Co-existing with this identity as a monk who has not adapted to his foundation-building stage!
After the monk successfully built the foundation, his life span soared by two Jiazi.
I have been holding on to my life for more than 200 years, but I think more about my personal path to practice.
Although the family affairs are handled by them, they are still assigned more to the family’s descendants.
Foundation-building monks play more of this role in deterrence, just grasp the general direction without any problems.
On the contrary, the monks in the middle and late stages of Qi training in the family are responsible for the most specific affairs in the family.
Especially some people who have no hope of building a foundation for their lifetime are more keen on these allowances.
Although the truth is this, Xiao Qianshan doesn't know how to explain it to the new head of the family.
When they built their foundation, they were already over forty years old, and these principles were not taught by others at all.
But Xiao Yichen is only over 20 years old and has been practicing alone for a long time, so it is probably difficult for a while to get used to it.
The seventh elder Xiao Yushan looked at Xiao Qianshan with a look of dismay and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The third elder Xiao Qianshan is a bit old-fashioned and old-fashioned person, and he is very likely not to be able to show the situation.
The fourth elder Xiao Wangshan has a bad temper and a simple mind. I guess he didn't see what was going on right now.
The ninth elder Xiao Jingshan is a naughty person and it is extremely unreliable to expect this kid to come forward to rescue the siege.
