The Ling family holds a family meeting every year after the test conference.
At the meeting, the annual financial income and expenses were discussed, how the family business was, and the talents that had emerged within the family. Some people who contributed to the family were rewarded, and of course some people who brought harm to the family were punished.
Today's family meeting is already halfway through. The second half of the meeting is mainly about discussing the list of young people who will go to Yunhua Mountain to practice this year.
"Clan leader," a white-haired old man in charge of family resources in the conference room stood up and bowed, "this year, we have discovered a lot of good seeds through this test conference, and I have also put forward some of the excellent achievements of our clan.
Fa He gave them the magic weapons and instruments he had prepared together."
"Well, Elder Ling Jie did a good job in this matter." Clan leader Ling Xiao praised.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for your compliment." Ling Jie sat back in his seat.
"Well, then let's discuss who will go to Yunhua Mountain to practice this year." Ling Xiao said.
"Patriarch," an elder who was sitting down stood up and said, "Yunhua Mountain is a sect established by the ancestor of our Qianyuan Dynasty, Immortal Qianyuan, and a group of his friends. Later, the cultivation level of an ancestor of our Ling family also reached
Since we have reached the realm of immortals and served as head master for one term, our Ling family can occupy three of the ten quotas every year. Just like the princes of the Qianyuan Dynasty, we also have three quotas.
The remaining four places are for the four major families of the Qianyuan Dynasty, the Wang family, the Li family, the Zhao family, and the Sun family. They each have one place. The ten places given by Yunhua Mountain can be passed directly without taking the exam. Therefore, I think
I don’t know whether the three places in our Ling family are for those with high cultivation or those with medium cultivation."
"Needless to say? Of course it is for those with high cultivation level."
"This is how it should be. People with high cultivation levels should be allowed to further their studies. Is there anything doubtful about this?"
"That is, I wonder what Elder Ruochou means? How could he say such a thing? I would like to ask Elder Ruochou to explain."
Some elders expressed their opinions after hearing what Elder Ling Ruochou said.
Ling Ruochou raised her head and looked at the clan leader, Ling Xiao.
"Then Elder Ruochou, please tell me how to allocate the quota." Ling Xiao also pondered for a while, and threw the question back when he couldn't think of a clue.
"Yes." Ling Ruochou said, "That's what I think. People with high cultivation can enter the sect through the selection of disciples in Yunhua Mountain. Those with medium cultivation but with plasticity can directly enter without taking the test. In this way, our Ling family will be in the sect.
The disciples will be able to take care of each other after they arrive in the sect. With their numerical advantage, they will not be bullied in the future."
"Oh, that's it. In this case, three people with medium cultivation can pass directly. In the selection competition, people from other families may assign some disciples with medium cultivation to try their luck, and then the possibility of our Ling family's high cultivation passing
It’s greatly increased.”
"Yes, yes, I think Elder Ruochou's suggestion is acceptable."
"But, what if the disciples with high cultivation level fail?"
"Those with high cultivation level may still be favored by the immortal master who comes to select disciples even if they fail. After all, the cultivation level is there."
"Indeed, in fact, the three exemption quotas given by the sect are not a good thing. These children who entered without examination will still start from the lowest level of disciples after entering the sect. On the contrary, those disciples who entered through the selection of the sect may be recruited by a certain
The immortal master likes to accept him as his disciple."
There was another round of discussion in the conference hall.
Ling Xiao, who was sitting on the patriarch's chair, smiled and nodded.
"Okay, let's do it like this. This method is really good. Elder Ruochou, after the meeting, you go to Elder Lingjie and choose something you like."
"Thank you, Patriarch. I just did my part as a member of the Ling family. If there is any reward, please take it back, Chief."
"Then am I not getting fat by breaking my promise? Haha, okay, Elder Ruochou, you don't have to be pretentious. I, Ling Xiao, still mean what I say."
"Yes, thank you patriarch."
"Well, let's first select the disciples who have reached the sixth stage of the Yuanqi Mirror in this test."
"I have records here. There are six people above the sixth level of Yuanqi realm, Ling Shuangshuang is in the eighth level, Ling Lie is in the ninth level. Ling Wuhui is in the seventh level, Ling Qingshan is in the seventh level, Ling Yanyang is in the eighth level, Ling..."
Before the elder could finish speaking, a guard's announcement suddenly came from outside.
"Report!!" A guard knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists.
"Huh? What's the matter? Do you know that today is the day of the family meeting." The elder who just read the list was a little unhappy.
"Yes, I know, but two guests came outside the door and said that if they want to discuss it, this is a token." After saying that, the guard took out an object from his coat and held it on the head of the whole country with both hands.
"What? This is..."
Some elders stood up one after another, looking a little panicked.
"People from the imperial dynasty?" Ling Xiao frowned.
"People from the imperial dynasty, what are they doing here? Don't you know we have an important family meeting today?"
"Haha, of course I know, so we walked around outside for a long time and came in after guessing that the meeting was almost over." Just as everyone was talking about it, someone suddenly spoke outside the door and slowly opened the door.
As the door was opened, everyone saw that there were not two people standing outside the door as the guard said, but four people. The leader was a young man, well-dressed and elegant, holding a folding fan in his hand and waving it gently,
Looking at everyone with a smile on his face.
"Haha, it turns out it's the second prince. The second prince is coming here. It's a shame to greet him from afar and disrespect him. Hahaha..." Ling Xiao laughed first.
Generally, when a big family is having a meeting, the most taboo thing is the arrival of uninvited guests. Moreover, the second prince pushed the door in by himself during the meeting. Listening to his words, it seemed that he had been standing outside for a while. Originally, such a person
, when everyone in the conference room sees it, there will always be a few people who will angrily say how many people are coming up.
In other words, even if he is the second prince, even if everyone dare not say disrespectful words, they should put on a bad face and show it to him. Unexpectedly, the clan leader Ling Xiao first walked up to the second prince with a smile, and the meeting
Everyone in the room also had smiles on their faces, as if what happened just now when he came uninvited and opened the door without permission had happened.
"Haha, Brother Ling, you're fine. We haven't seen each other for a while." The second prince said, clapping the folding fan on his hand.
"Exactly, the family affairs are not as complicated as the imperial affairs." Ling Xiao turned sideways and stretched out his hand to signal the second prince to take a seat.
"Brother, I'm sorry. Since I'm here like this, treat me as a guest. Guests can do as they please. Brother, please take a seat." The second prince waved his hand and said.
"Hahaha... Come here, bring a chair for the second prince." Ling Xiao said nothing.
"So it's the second prince. Why didn't you inform us earlier?"
"Yes, yes, the second prince can come today, which really brings glory to our Ling family."
"The elders were joking," after that, the second prince said to the three people behind him, "You guys can come in too."
"Here." said a guard behind the second prince.
"Yes." The person who said this was none other than Ling Tianxing and his teacher Du Yunfei, who had learned through the test stone in the morning that he had reached the sixth floor of the Yuan Qi Mirror.
"Tian Xing?" It was Ling Xiao who said this. After he sat back on his seat, he saw that his nephew was among the three people who came in, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Hello, clan leader, hello all the elders." Ling Tianxing said respectfully.
"Second Prince, this is..." Ling Xiao said doubtfully.
"Brother, don't call me Second Prince or Second Prince. I'm tired of hearing it. You'd better call me by my name."
"The name is called in private, and the etiquette on the surface must be fulfilled. Second prince, if you don't talk about this, I wonder what you called Tianxing and the others are here for?"
"Brother, actually I did this unintentionally."
After hearing what the second prince said, all the elders were also confused.
"Second Prince, please don't show off. Look how worried we elders are." What Ling Xiao said has two meanings. One is to let the Second Prince reveal what the unintentional interference is. The other is
He was telling these elders not to lose the face of the Ling family in front of the second prince and to keep calm.
"Brother is joking, well, let me tell you the surprise." The second prince clapped his hands with a fan again and said, "When I came here, I heard the guards saying that your meeting has been going on for two hours.
, I’ve done the math and it’s almost over, and the rest is probably the same as in previous years, which is the list of people selected to join the Yunhua Mountain sect.”
"Well, that's right." said the elder who just read the list.
The second prince nodded and said, "Then I wonder if this year, as in previous years, disciples above the sixth level of the Yuan Qi Mirror will be eligible?"
"Exactly." The elder who read the list replied.
"That's it. It's not an exaggeration to add Lin Tianxing." After the second prince finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously.
Ling Tianxing listened to the second prince's words and trembled slightly. He looked up at the second prince and Ling Xiao.
"Oh? Second Prince, I really don't understand what you are saying." Ling Xiao frowned at first.
"Second Prince, you are kidding me too much. Although our Ling family selects young people over ten years old and above the sixth level of the Yuan Qi Realm every year to participate in the entrance test at Yunhua Mountain, this kid Tian Xing
My cultivation level is now at the third level of the Yuan Qi Realm, and I haven’t broken through yet. It has been like this for three years." The elder who looked at the list shook his head and said.
Speaking of Ling Tianxing, the Ling family members had various emotions. Some people sighed, and some people secretly rejoiced. They sighed that this child could have pursued a higher realm, but now he can only stay at the third level of vitality.
However, those who were secretly happy felt that Ling Tianxing could only do this for the rest of his life. In the future, he would have one less powerful opponent to compete with the disciples of his own faction.
"Of course I know this. That's good. Tianxing, come out." The second prince said, taking out a piece of jade from his coat, and then inputting a ball of blue energy into the jade, and saw that the jade actually appeared to the naked eye.
The visible speed gradually increased and did not stop until it became the size of two plates.
"This?" Elder You exclaimed, "This is not a magic weapon from an immortal. It's called Yiying. Rumor has it that as long as the energy is input into this magic weapon, it can record everything the owner sees and hears and it can be stored for a month.
for a long time.”
"Oh? This elder actually knows Yiying." The second prince said with a smile.
"I just heard someone say it again in the auction hall."
"So that's it," said the second prince, "but this piece of Yiying also has another function, which is to test the cultivation level of people whose realm is below the Kaiguang realm. Tianxing, you release your vitality and keep inputting it into this piece.
Enter Yiying." The second prince said to Ling Tianxing who was standing in front of him.
Ling Tianxing took a deep breath and glanced at Ling Xiao.
"Just do as the second prince said." Ling Xiao seemed to have guessed a possibility and said expectantly.
"Okay!" Ling Tianxing released his vitality and concentrated it on his palm, and everyone saw a ball of white vitality slowly entering Yiying.
I only saw a line of words suddenly appearing in Yiying: The seventh stage of Yuanqi Mirror, the level exceeds the advanced level, the grade cannot be identified.
"How... how is it possible?" All the elders were full of surprise.
"Seventh...Seventh Dan? It was clearly Sixth Dan just before I came here." Du Yunfei also exclaimed.
When the elders heard what Du Yunfei said, they were shocked. What does it mean to be in the sixth stage before coming? How long ago was it? How could it be possible to go directly from the sixth stage to the seventh stage in such a short period of time?
"What? No way, it was sixth dan just now, now it's seventh dan?" Some elders were talking loudly.
"Oh? Well... I thought it was unintentional, but now I'm surprised." The second prince was also a little confused, but he quickly regained his composure and said.
"White? Why is Tianxing's vitality white?" Ling Xiao asked confused.
