As the largest city in the southern continent, Liangyi City has a powerful Liangyi Sect and is well-ordered. Countless monks want to settle here, which makes living in the city very expensive.
Yang Ziqing only has Qi training skills, so naturally he cannot live in the city. His home is in a village outside the city. It is a small courtyard where a family of five is crowded together.
Even such a small yard is a huge burden for him.
Whether in the city or outside the city, all houses within the scope of the spiritual veins have to pay annual fees. However, the fees outside the city are relatively low, and the closer to the edge of the spiritual veins, the lower the fees. There are no free areas.
The place with spiritual veins is the area where mortals live. Monks are unwilling to go there unless they really can't survive.
As for going to areas outside the jurisdiction of the sect, without the protection of the Ayatosha Sect, safety cannot be guaranteed.
"Senior, this is my room, please!"
Yang Ziqing brought Chen Lin into the yard and hurriedly opened the door of an independent house on the east side.
Then he explained: "My father and I are the only monks in our family. Neither my mother nor my siblings have spiritual roots. My father's cultivation is only at the fourth level of Qi training. Ten years ago, he was injured by a monster while going out to collect spiritual medicine.
If it’s inconvenient, I won’t let them disturb seniors.”
Chen Lin nodded and walked into the room.
He had already investigated the situation of several Qi Practitioners he hired. He knew about this village and their family situation for a long time, so he was not surprised.
Although the other party likes to flatter others, he never abandons his family. He even sacrifices a lot to keep his family in this safe area. This shows that his character is still good. He plans to train the other party into a confidant and work for him in Liangyi City.
.
He likes the management style and environment of this city very much, and intends to build a residence here. If his family cannot go to Zhongtian Continent for reunion in the future, he will settle here.
Moreover, the business atmosphere of this city is excellent. Various large commercial firms have stores here. He needs to find a few trustworthy people to help him collect materials. It is best to get another acacia and communicate with Luo Qinglan again.
, determine the other party’s situation.
If it is really bad, then you should consider taking on this two-instrument mission.
"You don't have to think too much. In your case, there is no problem in successfully building the foundation."
Chen Lin put away his distracting thoughts and directly took out a Marrow Cleansing Pill and three Foundation Establishment Pills, handed them to the other party and said, "You can break through on your own here. I'll go see your family."
After saying that, he walked out.
With three foundation-building pills, plus the opponent's original one, there should be no problem in breaking through the foundation-building pill. If he can't break through, it can only be said that the opponent's opportunity has not come, and he will not continue to invest.
Yang Ziqing looked at the elixir in his hand as if in a dream.
No wonder his master didn't care about his foundation building. It turned out that there were so many foundation building pills and marrow cleansing pills. If he still failed to build the foundation, he would probably have no value in existence.
Glancing at the rooms of his parents, siblings, he calmed down and swallowed the marrow-cleansing pill.
In another room.
Yang Ziqing's father was frightened and treated Chen Lin respectfully, accompanied by his wife and two children.
He knew that his son was working for a mysterious strong man recently. He had just made a guess when his son brought him into the yard with a respectful attitude. However, his son had no intention of introducing him, so he did not go out to ask. Now his son is here
Before they came out of the room, this senior with unfathomable cultivation came to their room, not knowing what was going on.
"No need to be restrained, I just came over to check on your physical injuries."
Chen Lin glanced at a few people and smiled softly.
After saying that, he took out a Water Charm Spirit Pill and handed it to Yang's father: "Your meridians were seriously damaged and the time was too long. Ordinary pills cannot take effect. This Water Charm Spirit Pill is just right."
, you can use it!”
"this"
Yang's father's eyes sparkled, but he didn't dare to pick it up.
The current condition is unknown. He is afraid that taking it will cause trouble to his son. Although he is very eager to recover, he can only hold back.
At this time, the little girl at the end suddenly said, "Master Immortal, what happened to my brother?"
"Shi'er must not be rude!"
When Father Yang saw his daughter speaking rashly, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly scolded him. Then he apologized to Chen Lin and said, "Senior, don't blame me. My daughter is just a mortal and doesn't know etiquette. I will definitely teach him a lesson."
Chen Lin glanced at the little girl. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, quite delicate and well-dressed.
After all, we are still the family of a cultivator. Compared to other cultivators, our life is very tight. Compared with ordinary mortal families, we don’t know how much better. At least we don’t have to worry about food and clothing.
"May I have your name?"
Chen Lin's eyes flashed with strange color and he asked.
"My, my name is Yang Zishi."
After being scolded by her father, the little girl knew that she had made a mistake. When she heard Chen Lin's question, she suddenly became panicked.
Chen Lin did not ask any more questions, but looked at Yang's father and said, "Yang Ziqing has recognized me as his master and is building the foundation now. Don't worry."
Then he ignored Yang's father's surprised expression and asked again: "Has there ever been a high-level monk in your ancestors of the Yang family?"
When he was looking at the little girl just now, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the source of his talent. It was not a warning of danger, but the resonance of the same kind of energy. Although it was very weak, he still sensed it.
This kind of sensing ability only came about after his talent advanced. If it had been before, he wouldn't have been able to discover it.
This shows that this little girl probably has innate abilities, but because she has no spiritual roots, she cannot cultivate them or have the ability to stimulate them, so she doesn't know it herself.
Logically speaking, anyone with innate abilities must have spiritual roots. He didn't know why this happened. He could only suspect that his ancestors had inherited the innate abilities.
Father Yang didn't know why, but he still spoke truthfully and said: "Reporting to the seniors, according to the genealogy records of the younger generations, there were indeed high-level monks who had reached the realm of refining the void, and they were the ancestors of our Yang family, but those were all ten thousand years ago.
I don’t know if the genealogy records are accurate or not. Anyway, there are only two monks left in my family, me and my son. It’s not certain whether there will be another generation.”
Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Can I see your family's genealogy?"
Father Yang was filled with doubts, but when he thought that the other party said that his son had recognized the other party as his master and that his son was building a foundation, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He turned around and took out a box.
There is nothing shameful about the genealogy. Father Yang opened it directly and took out a thick book. It looked very new and did not look like something that had been passed down for a long time.
"The previous family trees are all in disrepair. I rewrote this a few years ago. Please take a look at it."
Chen Lin held it in his hand and looked directly at the first page.
Yang Qianxing!
The first page is the information about the ancestor of Lianxu, and there is even a simple portrait of a man from the world looking up at the sky. However, this family tree has been revised countless times, and the portrait has probably deviated from its original appearance.
.
After reading for a while, he put together the family tree and returned it to Father Yang.
The above record is not very detailed, it just describes the majesty of this ancestor. As for the records of other ancestors of the family later, it is even simpler. Some only have one name, and no one with any innate ability is seen.
"Okay, I'm just verifying some questions. Don't think too much. It will probably take a few hours for Yang Ziqing to break through the foundation building. You should use this water charm pill first. I can also help you sort it out."
Chen Lin handed the elixir to Yang's father again. Yang's father didn't dare to hesitate anymore, just took it and swallowed it.
At this time, there was no question whether he was suspicious or not. Even if it was poison, he had to take it. Otherwise, if he angered such a being, the lives of their family would not be saved.
Although the place where they live is within the protection scope of the Liangyi Sect, if a high-level monk wants to kill people, he has many means. This is not the city of Liangyi. To kill a few Qi-practicing monks and ordinary people with no background, there is no way
Who will investigate carefully.
But as soon as the elixir entered his stomach, Father Yang knew that it was indeed a healing elixir, and the effect was very good. As soon as the medicine was released, his damaged meridians began to feel and slowly became more energetic.
"You don't need to guard here, just do whatever you need to do. If you are really worried, just go and guard outside Yang Ziqing's room, but don't disturb him."
Chen Lin glanced at the other three people who were full of worry and said casually.
After hearing this, the old woman immediately bowed and walked out. She peeked outside Yang Ziqing's room and saw that Yang Ziqing was indeed sitting cross-legged in a state of cultivation. After that, she felt relieved and guarded the door.
outside.
Yang Zishi and her brother Yang Zishan stayed beside their father, watching nervously.
Chen Lin sat with his eyes closed, as if he didn't want to pay attention to anything. In fact, he sensed Yang Zishi's innate aura and wanted to judge what innate abilities the other party had from the aura.
If it was that kind of useful talent, he could give it a try and find a way to make the other party a cultivator.
Without spiritual roots, you cannot practice. This was an iron rule in the lower realm, but in this upper realm, the cultivation civilization is prosperous, and there is no way to change it. There are even ways to let mortals give birth to spiritual roots, but at no cost.
Low, if it is a talent that is of no use, it is not worth buying.
Time passed little by little.
Night falls.
