After receiving the letter, Zhao Xiuxuan did not return to the mountain immediately. Instead, he first paid one year's rent for his own cave and Chu Lanyue's cave, then rushed to Qinghefang to sell a batch of elixirs, and then got up and rushed to Chishan.

.

We arrived at Chishan two days later.

Hearing that Zhao Xiuxuan had returned to the mountain, Zhao Lingting took the four elders and blocked him at the foot of the mountain with a lot of scrutiny.

Afterwards, several people checked Zhao Xiuxuan's dantian and soul one after another, and then they felt relieved.

Zhao Lingting laughed and explained

"Xiu Xuan, don't blame us for being cautious. Your cultivation breakthrough speed is simply unheard of. We can't help but act carelessly. However, I still want to warn you. Although you are the leader of the clan, if your cultivation goes astray

, we will never forgive you, please remember this.”

Although Zhao Xiuxuan inevitably had some grudges against their actions, he also felt that if he were in their shoes, he would be more cautious than them.

Thinking of this, he suppressed any unhappiness in his heart.

Gongshoudao

"All the elders are also caring and caring, how could Xiu Xuan think too much about it?"

The great elder Zhao Lingcheng nodded after hearing this.

"Xiu Xuan, your mentality is really good. I didn't expect that a junior like you would appear in my lineage. It's also the end of the world for our Zhao family. Since the Xiu Kong incident has passed, everyone in Chishan has been hanging his head for profit.

"Sword, today there is a cultivator who has broken through to the ninth level of Qi refining, we must spread the word widely, sweep away the gloomy sickness above and below, and quickly go up the mountain."

Then everyone hugged each other and went up the mountain.

Ancestral hall, outer hall.

Zhao Xiuxuan explained to them the reason for his rapid improvement in cultivation. Everyone had personally tested it. Since they knew that Zhao Xiuxuan had not gone astray and had no signs of being kidnapped, naturally they would not pay too much attention to his cultivation.

say what.

A few people chatted for a while, Zhao Lingting paused and stroked his beard, and then continued.

"Xiu Xuan, according to the clan training, if a clan member reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining, he can hold the position of elder and choose a peak to establish a cave. What do you think about this matter?"

Zhao Xiuxuan didn't feel much about the title of elder, and didn't know what it meant to be an elder, so he handed over his hand and said

"Clan leader, I would like to ask what matters you need to deal with if you serve as an elder."

Zhao Lingting chuckled

"The elder is the governor and deacon of the Zhao family. You must also know that our family has four halls under the patriarch, namely the Internal Affairs Hall, the Foreign Affairs Hall, the Dharma Protector Hall, and the Chuan Gong Hall."

"The internal affairs hall is headed by the spiritual elder, who is in charge of the internal affairs of the clan, including the selection of monks among clan members, disputes between clan members, the issuance of family tasks, rewards and punishments of clan members, etc."

"The Foreign Affairs Hall is headed by Elder Du Xian, who is in charge of all courtesy exchanges and receptions with other immortal cultivating families and sects."

"The Dharma Protector Hall is headed by Elder Duyun, who is responsible for maintaining the clan's mountain protection formation, deploying mountain patrol disciples, and in some cases, protecting the Dharma and Dharma."

"The Chuan Gong Hall is headed by Elder Lingquan, who is mainly responsible for instructing the tribesmen on their practice, teaching exercises, and giving guidance on mazes, etc."

"Every elder has a heavy responsibility, and there are many trivial matters on a daily basis. However, there are also promising disciples who are selected to work under the elders. Many things do not need to be done personally."

"If you serve as an elder, you can choose one of the four churches to serve as a deputy deacon, study with the elders for a period of time, and then take charge of a separate church depending on the situation.

After finishing speaking, the great elder Zhao Lingcheng said with his palms

"Xiu Xuan, you are a disciple of my lineage. You can leave me in charge. I am old and my energy is limited. In two years, I will give you my position. Fortunately, I will be in the Yuling Cave."

Meditate for a while”

Elder Lingquan quits

"Second brother, I have exquisite contemplation and cultivation skills and profound cultivation. I think it is more suitable for me to practice Xuan in my Chuan Gong Hall. Listen to me and come to my Chuan Gong Hall. I will explain my cultivation experience to the clan members once a month. I will answer my questions on weekdays.

Doubts in cultivation are also good for your own cultivation of immortality."

"That's not possible," the spiritual elder retorted

"Xiu Xuan is of my lineage and works in an orderly manner. Internal affairs require a character like Xiu Xuan's to maintain integrity."

The two started fighting face to face.

However, Elder Duyun and Elder Duxian watched with their eyes, nose and heart, and did not get involved.

Zhao Xiuxuan listened to the patriarch's introduction and kept silent. He knew very little about these things in the past. This time, under Zhao Lingting's explanation, he understood how the entire Chishan Zhao family operates. There are hundreds of Qi-refining monks in the Zhao family.

, although there are not many, various trivial matters are still unavoidable, and each needs to be assigned responsibilities to deal with these things.

Only in this way can we minimize the blame game between each other. If something happens, we should go to the elder. In the end, if the elder cannot make a decision, we will go to the clan leader. This is probably the relationship.

To be honest, after hearing this, Zhao Xiuxuan was a little reluctant to take up these positions. If he got involved in these things, it would not be a good thing for his own cultivation.

At this moment, the patriarch Zhao Lingting seemed to know what he was thinking. He coughed, stopped the two people who were still fighting, and said

"Okay, okay, you two already know what the Xiuxuan Society is planning, so why are you fighting here?"

After saying that, he turned to Zhao Xiuxuan and said

"Xiu Xuan, actually, we have made arrangements for this matter. You are young and have reached the ninth level of Qi refining. It is the time when you are striking while the iron is hot, working hard to complete Qi refining, and seeking to build the foundation. I, the spiritual elder,

, Elder Lingquan, although the three immortals like us don’t live long, we can still survive for a few years. You don’t have to worry about these trivial matters in the clan. Your main task now is to practice.”

"At the beginning, this was the choice for Xiu Kong. Alas, it's a pity that Xiu Kong fell short in the end. Otherwise, our Zhao family could also have a foundation builder. However, it's fine now. As long as you keep your feet on the ground, in two or three years, you will be able to practice to

When the Qi refining is complete, we will use the strength of the whole family to buy a foundation building pill for you to increase your chance of building a foundation. Once you succeed in building a foundation, the future of the Zhao family will be completely handed over to your hands."

"So, you, elder, are just a temporary post and don't need to deal with anything, but you can still choose a mountain peak as a cave dojo. In the future, your descendants can also live according to your bloodline, and the thin water stretches and forms a river.

, I believe that sooner or later, this boat of the Zhao family will be in the hands of you and other descendants, and it will flow endlessly."

After hearing these words, Zhao Xiuxuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Realm is always the first factor.

After confirming that he did not need to hold any position, Zhao Xiuxuan decisively accepted the title of elder.

Ten days later, the Zhao family gathered all the clansmen they could contact outside and held an ancestor worship ceremony in the Zong Palace, announcing on the spot that Zhao Xiuxuan would serve as the elder.

There is no fixed number of elders in the family. According to the order of succession, they are called from the eldest elder to Zhao Xiuxuan. The fifth elder is also called the elder directly.

In order to highlight the motivational effect, before this, except for the clan elders, the rest of the clan had no idea about Zhao Xiuxuan's breakthrough to the ninth level of Qi refining.

Therefore, as soon as this matter was announced, there was an uproar. Everyone was overjoyed and talked about it.

"The number one calligrapher in my generation!"

"Xiu Xuan actually broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Xiukong was also at the same age when he broke through. From this point of view, the two talents are almost the same!"

"Good news! Great news!"

"The luck of our Zhao family has not disappeared. First there is cultivation of emptiness, and then there is cultivation of profoundness. We should catch up, how can we be willing to perish?"

Many members of the younger generation were more or less shocked by this unexpected good news. To be honest, in recent decades, because the Zhao family has no foundation-building monks to guard it, the people have been very frustrated. Even those who used to rely on the surrounding area

The small families that have passed the Zhao family are now keeping pace with him, and some even have foundation-building monks to catch up with him.

This makes the Zhao family, whose ancestors once had a glorious history, even more bitter.

Until later, Zhao Xiukong, the most promising person in the family, was born. Everyone had high hopes. They saw that they were making rapid progress all the way, practicing to the perfection of Qi refining. As long as they took the last step, the Zhao family would be stable for another hundred years. Unexpectedly,

Something went wrong at the last minute.

Since then, they have encountered something as humiliating as Chu Lanfei's divorce. It can be said that every member of the Zhao family feels like a basin of cold water has been poured on their heads, and the enthusiasm in their hearts has naturally faded a lot.
