"This kid is a good person, and he is quite diligent in his studies. In addition, his spiritual qualifications are quite good, so his current cultivation level is considered good among this generation of disciples.

I haven't found any bad behavior in terms of character. I treat my tribe and teachers with great respect. My personality is more lively and I have more fantastic ideas..."

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Huanyan introduced it to Shen Ruiling. Compared with Shen Ruiling, who occasionally taught alchemy, Shen Huanyan stayed in the school all the time. Shen Huanyan arranged the food, clothing, housing and class contents for these children. So he knows these children best.

Shen Ruiling also fell into deep thought after hearing this. Seeing him like this, Shen Huanyan asked with great interest:

"Why did you ask about this child?"

"During the few days I was in Binhu Town, Shen Huantong gave me a piece of green water lotus root and asked me to take care of his grandson." Shen Ruiling had nothing to hide and explained to Shen Huanyan openly.

After hearing this, Shen Huanyan smiled and said:

"This Shen Huantong is really good at calculating. He has taken a fancy to your potential so early."

Then he looked at Shen Ruiling meaningfully and asked:

"So what are you going to do?"

Shen Ruiling also noticed the strange look in Shen Huanyan's eyes, and knew in his heart that this stern old man didn't like anyone engaging in malpractice for personal gain. For many years in charge of the school, he always kept a clear distinction between public and private matters.

The cultivation resources for a child are determined based on all aspects and will not be favored for any reason.

"Fourth Elder, you still have the final say on matters in the school. What I think is that if this child has good character and happens to have some talent in alchemy, I will be prepared to give him more help in the process of alchemy. It may be better to thank Shen Huantong. Favor!" Shen Ruiling said quickly.

"It's good that you understand. If this child is really talented, it doesn't hurt to support him more."

"Ruiling, when you become an elder, you will face many human affairs incidents. It will be difficult to deal with them all." Shen Huanyan said earnestly.

Shen Huanyan, a disciple of this family, also had high hopes, and she couldn't help but sigh as she thought about teaching him more.

"When dealing with human relations among clan members, you must stick to your true heart, put the overall situation first, deal with things diplomatically, do not make people feel cold, and must not be detached from clan rules. You must have a degree..."

"Ruiling understands!" Shen Ruiling bowed his hands and saluted.

"It's good to understand. The road ahead will be long!"

"There is one more thing I want to trouble you with," Shen Ruiling said sheepishly.

"You kid, tell me!" Shen Huanyan pointed at Shen Ruiling and cursed with a smile.

"I would like to ask you to ask someone to bring the two children Yongxuan and Yongchen. I plan to have a chat with them."

"no problem."

…

"Meet the elders and teach them!" the two children bowed and saluted.

"The fourth elder and I called you here because of your talent in alchemy. Here are some of my new experiences in alchemy. I hope you can learn from it!" Shen Ruiling said calmly and handed the two of them a thin book.

"Thank you for teaching me!"

The two Shen family disciples looked at each other, at a loss, and took the books with excitement and enthusiasm in their eyes.

"I will come to the school once a month. If you have any questions, you can ask me then. If you have any needs, you can ask the fourth elder..."

…

After watching Shen Yongchen and the others leave, Shen Huanyan said:

“Hopefully they live up to our expectations!”

"I will teach them seriously."

…

In this way, he chatted with Shen Huanyan for a while, nothing more than some words of encouragement, and began to teach some handling skills. After Shen Huanyan's repeated instructions, Shen Ruiling left the family school.

Walking on the way to the family residence, Shen Ruiling was still thinking about what Shen Huanyan said about worldly relationships. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. There was another favor that he needed to end.

Arriving between the houses halfway up the mountain, Shen Ruiling walked toward a thatched hut with vague images. There were many enthusiastic tribesmen who greeted Shen Ruiling along the way, and Shen Ruiling also said hello one by one.

Shen Ruiling finally stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated thatched hut. The few thatched bungalows in front of him were still the same as in his memory. Shen Huanqun had taken him here several times when he was a child, so the image was a bit blurry. .

Passing through the spiritual field in front of the door, Shen Ruiling knocked on the mottled wooden door.

"Coming, coming." An old voice came from inside.

An old woman with wrinkles on her face opened the wooden door, and Shen Ruiling could still find a trace of tears in her old eyes.

"Uncle Nine!"

Shen Ruiling bowed respectfully and saluted.

"Ruiling, right? Come in quickly!" The old woman was obviously surprised by Shen Ruiling's unexpected visit.

"I'm here to visit Uncle Nine."

"I'll take you there."

The old woman quickly brought Shen Ruiling to a bed.

"Old man, Ruiling is here to see you."

Shen Ruiling saw that the old man lying on the bed was Shen Huanming, who had blocked the third-order demon crab with him in the past.

At this time, Shen Huanming looked a bit older. He originally had a fierce aura, but now there is a lingering aura of decay. His eyes no longer have the same look as when he was fighting the monster crab that day. Fierce.

At this time, Shen Huanming was like an old mortal who was about to pass away. He no longer had any vitality that a monk should have!

This time, Shen Huanming's Dantian was shattered, and his spiritual power had nowhere to rest. Although he stabilized his injuries with the third-level spiritual elixir, his cultivation level would slowly begin to decline, and he would eventually become an ordinary person. Mortal old man.

Moreover, this serious injury may also deplete Shen Huanming's lifespan, making his original lifespan of more than 120 years become the same as that of a mortal.

At this time, Shen Huanming looked like he only had a few years left to live.

Shen Ruiling watched Shen Huanming fall into silence for a while, and then came back to his senses when Shen Huanming called.

"Ruiling is here." Shen Huanming became frightened with difficulty and looked at Shen Ruiling and said.

"Uncle Ninth." Shen Ruiling said affectionately.

Shen Ruiling was very grateful to this old man who protected him at all times during the battle with the monster crab.

During the fight with the monster crab, Shen Huanming always protected Shen Ruiling behind him, blocking most of the damage for Shen Ruiling. Even when he was seriously injured in the end, he did not forget Shen Ruiling's safety and told him to escape from the place of right and wrong.

"You have suffered." Shen Ruiling choked up.

"It's all fate, but I've almost lived my life. I, Shen Huanming, have been enjoying the treatment of my family for most of my life. I didn't expect that I could contribute to the family when I grow old. I wish I could!" Shen Huanming said with a smile. .

Seeing Shen Ruiling looking remorseful, Shen Huanming said nonchalantly:

"Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable. Although our monks want to compete with God for their fate, there are only a few who can truly achieve that illusory immortality!

I'm tired and exhausted. It's time to take a rest. The family's tasks will be handed over to you.

Especially you. Although my cultivation level has dropped a bit, I can still see that you have broken through the ninth level of Qi training. Not bad!

You are the most promising disciple of this generation of your family to succeed in building a foundation. You must not let down your family's expectations.

It's not easy for the patriarch to support the family alone these years. We all see it in our eyes. It's just that the intention is more than the foundation. Only after you have established the foundation can you help him."

"Ruiling understands!" Shen Ruiling quickly agreed.

"Ruiling, I have something else to trouble you with," Shen Huanming said after hesitating for a while.

"Uncle Jiu, tell me!"

"It's like this, you see, I don't have a few more years to live. Although my old woman can survive a few more years than me, her time is almost up.

The two of us have several children who are mortals without spiritual roots. I just hope that you can take more care of our descendants, and if there are any descendants with spiritual roots in the future, you can also support them."

"Don't worry, Ruiling will take care of this." Shen Ruiling promised.

When Shen Huanming was young, he married a female monk with a foreign surname. Both of them were monks with spiritual roots. However, God's fate was that none of the children they gave birth to had spiritual roots. The impact was quite severe.

Because his children have no spiritual roots, they cannot live with the old couple on Yunbi Peak and have to live in a mortal town.

Until now, none of Shen Huanming's descendants have spiritual roots. After Shen Huanming and his wife pass away, their life savings will be preserved by the family.

In the next hundred years, if a descendant with spiritual roots is found, they can inherit this inheritance. Otherwise, it will be collected into the family treasury and used for the construction of the family.
