Chapter 234 Ownership of the Elixir
The original intention of picking flowers was for the fans who love it. The latest chapter of "Family Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily" has been released!
It would be a lie to say that the Qi Refining Elders present did not want to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, but unfortunately, very few of them were qualified.
When Zhang Lingyu took over as clan leader, he had already mentioned that any clan member who reached the peak of Qi Refining could spend 20,000 contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Now I have contribution points, but my cultivation level hasn't kept up.
"Clan leader, we and a few others from our ancestral home have been stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining for many years and have no chance of achieving this. Among us, only Yuanshan has the opportunity to establish his foundation. I think it would be better to entrust it to him."
"As for the remaining two, let's choose from the 'Xing' generation."
The speaker was the Fourth Elder, Zhang Yuanli. The elders had just discussed the matter briefly and reached a conclusion.
Most of those born in the "Yuan" generation perished during the war. Those with talent achieved Foundation Establishment early on, while the rest were either injured or crippled, with almost no chance of reaching Foundation Establishment.
There was also a Zhang Yuanming, but unfortunately he self-destructed to protect his people during the beast tide in Tianliu.
Otherwise, he should have received a share today as well.
"Seventh Grandfather, what do you think?" Zhang Lingyu did not agree, but looked at the hesitant old man below.
Zhang Yuanshan is now the best alchemist in the Zhang family after him. He is currently in charge of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion. Once he achieves Foundation Establishment, it will not only mean that the family will have one more Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also that a third-tier alchemist will be born.
That way, I'll feel less pressure.
However, a few years ago, the old man tried to establish his foundation using the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although he failed, he was fortunate to have taken the pill and the Cloud Dream Glazed Fruit in time, which prevented damage to his foundation.
With proper care and treatment over the years, it's entirely possible to try again.
"This... Foundation Establishment Pill is precious. I've already failed once. I think I should leave it to the younger generation. Anyway, I still have fire-attribute Foundation Establishment spiritual items at home, so I can use those."
Zhang Yuanshan also wanted to take the Foundation Building Pill. Although he failed at the condensation stage, he had already gained experience and had a high chance of success this time.
But if they fail, rumors and gossip will inevitably spread within the family.
Some clansmen will surely say that he is so old, yet he shamelessly continues to use the clan's resources to build his foundation. He failed once, but he failed a second time!
The key point is that the last Foundation Establishment Pill Zhang Lingyu took was a reward from True Person Xuanhao, who gave him one after Zhang Lingyu agreed to help the Li family in the Water Moon Secret Realm.
That was something the other side obtained at the risk of their lives.
If he gets the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, rumors will spread that he is abusing his seniority and using his status to force his family to give him the pill to help him establish his foundation.
After hearing the old man's polite refusal, none of the elders from the "Yuan" generation tried to dissuade him.
We're all practically on our deathbeds, so why not give these things to the younger generation to use? That way, they can be used to their fullest potential.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators remained silent. Zhang Lingyu, knowing the old man's thoughts, advised, "I understand Seventh Grandfather's intentions. Although the clan focuses on cultivating those with better talent, we cannot neglect the elders who have made contributions."
"Since the clan rules were established at that time, it is in accordance with the rules for you, Seventh Grandfather, to obtain this Foundation Establishment Pill. No one else can find fault with it. Besides... I don't think there are many of the clan uncles of the 'Xing' generation who can meet the requirements now."
Currently, only Zhang Xingxuan and Zhang Xingfeng of the "Xing" generation have reached the peak of Qi Refining, while a few others are at the eighth or ninth level.
Although it's not far off, it will still take at least two to three years to perfect one's cultivation.
As for Zhang Yuanyao, Wang Menghan, and the others, they will have to wait until after their trip to the Spirit Puppet Sect before making any plans for Foundation Establishment.
The clan currently only has three Foundation Establishment Pills, but that doesn't mean there are only three. We can buy more in the future, and buying a few more won't damage the clan's foundation.
Once his cultivation level is high enough, he will be able to refine them himself.
"Yes, yes, the clan chief said it's fine, Yuanshan, please accept it."
"That's good, Uncle Qi, you can accept it without worry."
Zhang Lingyu's meaning was already very clear. The elders below and Zhang Xingyao and a few others also joined in the persuasion. The elders had made indelible contributions to the family, and both morally and logically, they deserved a share.
"Well... alright, I'll try again!"
The persuasion of the crowd and the unwillingness to accept failure in Foundation Establishment made Zhang Yuanshan grit his teeth and accept it, and then he continued:
"If I fail again this time, I will never take anything from the clan again and will dedicate the rest of my life to serving the clan."
"Seventh Grandfather, please don't say anything unlucky. You are an alchemist, and reaching the Foundation Establishment stage will be of great help to the family. This time, you must make proper preparations before you begin your Foundation Establishment."
"Yes, thank you, clan chief."
Once the first Foundation Establishment Pill was decided, the rest began to be distributed. Just as he had expected, everyone recommended Zhang Xingxuan and Zhang Xingfeng.
One of these two is a spirit plant master, and the other has good combat skills. Reaching the Foundation Establishment stage will be of great help to their families.
Actually, he had someone else in mind.
This uncle was not good with words and rarely communicated with his clansmen, but he was very talented in raising spirit beasts. The blue phoenixes he brought back from the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range grew well under his care.
The blue phoenix is very fast, and can be used by the clansmen as well as fetch a good price in the market.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xingyu's cultivation progress is a bit slow. He has only reached the ninth level of Qi Refining so far. He either has to wait for the next Foundation Establishment Pill or use a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object to establish his foundation.
"We still need to have Uncle Xingfu work harder to see if he can get a few more Foundation Establishment Pills from Bishe Fortress."
Zhang Lingyu silently pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and solemnly said, "After the Mo Yun Poison Flood Dragon completes its tribulation, I will go into seclusion to try to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage again. I'll have to trouble everyone during this time."
"Lingyu, you can go into seclusion in peace. We will take care of you at home."
"With everyone's help at home, I can rest easy. However, there is one thing: cultivators from all over are gathering in Yanxing County. With the opening of the Spirit Puppet Sect, they will definitely head towards Tianshui County."
How could the crowd not understand what the man was saying?
Yingchuan County is adjacent to Yanxing County and Tianshui County. Although you can go there directly from Tianliu City, it is hard to guarantee that no cultivators with ulterior motives will take a detour.
Once they arrive here, they might suddenly have malicious intentions and rob this place.
After all, who would complain about not having enough stuff?
Originally, the border was guarded by cultivators from the Ming and Yun families, but now it's their turn. There aren't many spiritual mountains on the border of Yanxing County, so the pressure is less.
Most of the manpower was concentrated in Tianshui County to prevent the enemy from invading.
Given the current special circumstances, they have to allocate some manpower to care for the patients.
"These past few years have been a struggle for Uncle Xingyao and the others. The security along the border cannot be ignored, and we definitely don't have enough manpower. We will have to recruit a large number of cultivators from the vassal families."
"Lingyu, don't worry. Tianshui County will be handled by me and Xinghao. Lin Yan and Uncle Yuanyi will handle Yanxing County. As for the Second Elder, it's best for him to stay and guard Qingya Mountain."
Having managed the family business for many years, Zhang Xingyao quickly devised a plan.
"In that case, we will have to trouble you elders to take care of things."
If the Black Cloud Poison Dragon hadn't undergone its tribulation so quickly, their pressure would have been even less, since with True Person Xuanhao, a Golden Core cultivator, present, outsiders wouldn't dare to offend them.
However, once the demon is killed and the elixir is obtained, this immortal will inevitably leave to refine the elixir in preparation for breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
Once the support is gone, you can only rely on yourself.
Having said that, Zhang Lingyu no longer hesitated, took the magical artifacts of the Situ brothers from his storage bag, and handed them to Zhang Xingyao and the others, saying:
"Elder, Thirteenth Uncle, please take these magical artifacts. They'll make defending against enemies much easier!"
