Chapter 233 Not Enough Cloth to Make Wood (Part 1)
A powerful cultivating family will have a lot of monks. Even if some clan members are not worth cultivating, they still need to go through a spiritual enlightenment process and train them to the Qi training stage.
Only in this way can the population be controlled well, and because it can increase longevity, no clan member will refuse. The spiritual field needs manpower, and other aspects of the family need manpower. Only with the same bloodline will they feel more at ease.
Because they are all members of the same clan, life is easy and leisurely. As for extreme oppression, there is no such thing. It can be said that the members of the Immortal Cultivator family in Liuyun Realm are all blessed.
But even people of the same race may not all receive the same treatment. Even their status is very different. They are all living beings, and they all have selfish motives, or they may be close to each other. If it is fair, they will treat themselves badly.
The existence of the Xiuxian family is always to maintain the aloof status of the most important small group of people in the family.
As for who defines this importance, it is this very small group of people themselves.
The rest of the clan members have grown up with the propaganda about how powerful the family is, how domineering the previous generation's family leader is, how outstanding this generation's family leader is, and how many of their descendants are capable of leading the family to a higher level, and the future of the family will be glorious.
Most of these ordinary tribesmen concentrate on doing things arranged by their family and obey their family's orders in everything.
And in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of most of the remaining tribesmen, foundation building quotas will be awarded to the monks who work hardest, are the best, and may be the closest ones to the Qi training period.
The quota is limited, and it is very difficult to get a quota. Often, someone can squeeze out some people's quota just because they have contributed some kind of precious treasure to the family.
If a monk lives a long time, he may not have seen everything clearly, but he has played with people's hearts and stability to the extreme.
An Yao, the younger brother of the contemporary Yuanying clan leader of the An family, is about the same age, and both successfully became official disciples of the Liuyun Sect. However, it only took more than a hundred years for his elder brother, the clan leader, to successfully become a Yuanying monk, with a large amount of resources.
Under this, it took less than ten years from Qi training to foundation building, less than twenty years from foundation building to golden elixir, and less than a hundred years from golden elixir to Yuanying. When Yuanying became mature, his status in the clan and Liuyun Sect improved at the same time.
Decades later, he became the new generation patriarch of the An family.
As for him, he also had good resources. It took less than ten years from Qi training to foundation building, and less than twenty years from the early stage of foundation building to the completion of foundation building. However, he failed to advance to the golden elixir for the first time. After ten years of recovery, he tried again and failed again.
Then there are all kinds of natural and earthly treasures to nourish the body.
The entire Liuyun Sect suppresses one side, and all the good things within the scope flow to the Liuyun Sect. When it comes to the Liuyun Sect, the good things are divided among various families. What the families divide is used by very few people. Therefore, as long as Anyao needs it,
, he has no shortage of good things. Even if he doesn’t have them in the family, he can still go out to exchange them or sell them at auction.
However, he failed to advance to the golden elixir three times in a row. After trying all kinds of methods but still to no avail, he had no choice but to start practicing the human elixir method. This human elixir method is very difficult.
Some people can succeed by recruiting dozens of female cultivators, while others can control thousands of female cultivators in vain. First, they use the cauldron to achieve a certain level of perfection, and then they can secretly search for a chance to form an elixir. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, it all depends on luck.
Moreover, after reaching consummation, this state of perfection will still fade away, and the furnace cauldron must be continuously maintained. The longer the maintenance time, the higher the requirements for the furnace cauldron.
Anyao couldn't find a good way, and his lifespan was limited during the foundation building period. After more than a hundred years, his energy and blood began to decline, and even trying the human elixir was impossible.
For him, as long as he wants, the female cultivator can have as much as he wants, but this method of human elixir not only has a low chance of being used, but after a long time, the quality requirements for the female cultivator will become higher and higher, and the cultivator will also have higher and higher quality requirements.
The higher the cultivation level of female cultivators in the fairy world, the smaller the number.
As the effectiveness of the furnace cauldron female cultivator during the Qi training period became worse and worse, he began to compensate for quality with quantity. A few years ago, he went to the other two mortal worlds to play with low-level Qi training female cultivators in large numbers, which made him very happy.
But in the end, the Qi training period was useless, so I started using female cultivators in the Foundation building period, but I still didn't encounter the slightest chance of forming a human elixir.
It is said that it is best to use a female cultivator who has also completed Foundation Establishment to make a cauldron. The chance of forming a human elixir is very high. Many high-level monks estimate that the chance is one in twenty.
But in the beginning, female cultivators with perfect foundation building are used as cauldrons. In order to maintain the perfect state before forming the human elixir, female cultivators with the same level of cultivation are needed in the end. Otherwise, even if the human elixir is formed, they will still be weak.
There is always a risk of falling back.
If nothing happens, even An Yao will not be able to ensure that the number of furnace cauldrons he owns is sufficient. If he wants to, some second-class sects' golden elixir monks may be able to get it, but there is too much luck involved.
Now I heard that the daughter of the Qin family, who is also a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, failed in building the foundation to attack the golden elixir. After a little inquiry, I found that the other party was not a direct descendant of the family like myself. She had worked hard to join the Liuyun Sect, so she
I gave the betrothal gift without hesitation.
Even if everyone in the world knows what to do, the etiquette of being a noble monk cannot be lost, and a status must still be given. And because of the fierce competition, in order to succeed, he also secretly promised that in the future, the An family will have female cultivators who failed to advance to the golden elixir.
It can be given to the Qin family first.
Generally, there is no need for monks to get married. They will only get married when their identities are similar or their interests require it. Just like the Liuyun Sect's leader and his wife, it is considered a strong alliance of the family. Even if there are no heirs, the leader will still be married.
The wife's status also has a great say in the sect.
For An Yao, he is not a burden to the family. He has perfected his foundation and is a formal disciple of Liuyun Sect. He beats ninety-nine percent of the family members. Although he is a little behind compared to his elder brother, the clan leader, he is still an official member of the An Yao family.
The talented monk is the glory of the family and an absolute elite, and cannot be compared to some tribesmen who can only practice Qi.
As for how many resources he used, those resources may be able to cultivate more than one golden elixir. That is even more of a joke. The family has many resources, but what happened if he only used a little? The patriarch has nothing to say.
Other tribesmen dare to use the family's supplies at will? They don't even know what they have or how much they have.
How can those collaterals be compared with him? He is just a bit unlucky. This is very common in his family history.
"I heard that although the female cultivator from the Qin family was not bad in appearance, she actually had a handyman Taoist companion?" An Yao asked the female female cultivator beside her.
"This is the news that came back from the sect after the marriage with the Qin family was confirmed." The female follower of Foundation Establishment answered.
"It's just a furnace, how could you care! But there is something fun to do, how can you miss it, catch that handyman..." I don't know what he thought of, but at a certain moment, An Yao's eyes revealed a kind of
