Ancestor Above

155 Chapter 154-backing up his wife

Another year passed by quickly.

In this one year, the various matters of the clan were still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Ming Dynasty’s preparations for the initial enlightenment stage were progressing steadily. Weiwen came out of the secret realm. She had already stabilized her realm. However, she had already tasted the sweetness of it, so she went in again. She felt that at this rate, she might be able to break through to the second-tier foundation building realm within one or two years.

The other cultivators in the clan were also working hard on their own. Two of them had just reached the foundation establishment stage and were trying hard to stabilize their strength so that they could make progress as soon as possible. As the reserve power of the clan, many younger cultivators were also growing. Although there was no definite news, Lu Wenen should have reached the ninth-stage Qi refining realm by now, right? A very important member of the family, the spirit botanist Lu mingpu, had also reached the ninth level of the Qi refining stage.

In addition, in the past year, the clan had also gained two new Qi refining cultivators.

It was always developing in a good direction.

In fact, including a few years ago, ever since the battle at the foot of Yuyan mountain where the Zhao clan was annihilated, the Lu clan had indeed not encountered any major incidents. However, from the White ghouls to the destruction of the Zhao clan, the Lu clan had gained many benefits. Of course, the most important one was Lu Qing, the patriarch. Through the ‘clan rise system’, he had given the clan great help.

However, these many benefits and benefits would strengthen the foundation of the clan and its future development potential. However, if he wanted to turn it into true strength, he would need time to settle it.

The most concentrated display was the strength of the clan’s top cultivators.

Lu chaoxi was indeed in the initial enlightenment stage, but it had only been a short while. He was only in the second level of the initial enlightenment stage. Even though he had the godly sword lightning-controlling true spell and the bright yang lightning Codex, which were two wondrous cultivation techniques, and his magic items were also considered pretty good, his cultivation level still greatly limited his strength. If he encountered opponents in the middle initial enlightenment stage who had poor equipment and bad inheritances, he could still try to fight them. If he couldn’t, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to escape. However, if he encountered people in the late initial enlightenment stage, who were on the sixth or seventh floor, it would be difficult for him to even escape.

There was no problem with Lu chaoxi’s talent. However, once he reached the initial enlightenment stage, the speed of his improvement would not be as fast as when he was in the Qi refining stage or the foundation building stage.

Lu mingchao, for example, would definitely be able to achieve enlightenment, but she would need time.

For example, Weiwen had already shown very good talent. It was not impossible for her to reach Jindan in the future. She might even have a chance to reach Qiming before the age of 60, but after all, she still needed time to settle down.

All of these were nothing more than time.

It was also because of this that the family had been peaceful all these years, and there was nothing bad about it.

The clan’s control over anlingjun had grown with time. All of their businesses were thriving, and their annual profit could reach two thousand spirit stones.

As time passed, the wealth and potential of the Lu clan’s cultivators would be turned into strength. Then, the Lu clan would naturally become stronger and stronger as time passed.

Therefore, to Lu Qing, he hoped that the peace and quiet he had experienced during this period of time would last longer.

After a few decades, the Lu family might have three or four Qiming’s. Moreover, Lu chaoxi and Li Yanling would have been married by then. Li Yanling would probably have been a golden core cultivator by then.

Even though Lu Qing was already dead, he could still come back to life and jump around.

In the eyes of the outside world, one sect had two golden core cultivators, three or four initial enlightenment cultivators, and a bunch of Foundation establishment cultivators.

Tsk, tsk, he was definitely one of the top noble families in the Feiyun state!

However, a letter from the South had disrupted the Lu family’s stable development.

The letter was from Li Yanling.

In the letter, Li Yanling had hoped that Lu chaoxi would come to the sect.

Lu chaoxi didn’t quite understand when he saw this piece of news. Logically speaking, shouldn’t this fiancée of his be refining the external transformation pill? Previously, it was said that it would take almost five years to refine the Golden core into an external elixir, so that she could really prepare for her own breakthrough to the Golden core. In that case, she shouldn’t have much time. Why did she suddenly ask Lu chaoxi to go to the Qingfeng sect?

The reason was also written at the end of the letter.

It turned out that Li Yanling had been living a very uncomfortable life.

There was no way she could properly refine the external transformation elixir.

It wasn’t a technical problem, but she was often interrupted in various ways when she was in closed-door cultivation.

Clearly, someone was up to no good.

The people of the sect leader’s faction and the Zhao clan’s faction weren’t willing to accept this.

The Zhao clan wanted to take back Zhao Zidan’s golden core, and Zhao Zhengdong was also at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment realm, so he had the hope of reaching the Golden core realm. if he could obtain old ancestor Zhao’s golden core, he could also refine an external core and try to reach the Golden core stage. It was the same for the representative figure of the sect master’s line, Zhenren yunxuan.

In reality, Zhao Zhengdong basically had no chance of winning. Right now, the Golden core was in Li Yanling’s hands. She was a representative figure of the hai family and had the support of ancestor hai. After Zhao Zidan died, Zhao Zhengdong would not be able to snatch it.

He was constantly emerging, but in essence, he was working for the sect master and for perfected yunxuan.

Yun Xuan was the one who really wanted to get the Golden core, and the supporter behind him was none other than the Qingfeng sect’s sect leader, Daoist Kong Tong.

When Lu chaoxi and Li Yanling were engaged, Zhao Zhengdong had brought Kong Tong’s decree to the door, but he had been rejected.

But of course, they couldn’t just give up like this. Things were far from over. The real battle had just begun.

Since they were all fellow disciples, they would not go so far as to fight within the sect. However, the absence of blade light and blood Shadows did not mean that the competition was not intense.

When it came to the great Dao, who could not compete? A fight that didn’t see blood would often create a feeling of having power but nowhere to use it.

It was impossible for them to make a move. If it escalated to this level, then Li Yanling’s group would be at an even greater disadvantage. Hai Sande was not Kong Tong’s opponent, and Li Yanling was also not able to deal with Yun Xuan and Zhao Zhengdong at the same time.

Controlling the situation within an acceptable range was what Li Yanling and the others needed.

Fortunately, they were all from the same sect. Otherwise, he would not have been able to control himself.

......

After reading the letter, Lu chaoxi immediately came to look for Lu Qing.

Lu Qing could not help but sigh. The larger a force was, the less United it would be.

He told Lu chaoxi about the Qingfeng sect in detail.

Lu Qing would have a deeper understanding of these things than his son.

In cultivation families, there would be some disputes between factions. For example, Lu chaojun had begged for a foundation building elixir for his son, Lu tingchou, back then. However, in the end, it was not too important. After all, they were related by blood, and usually, the family was not that big.

However, it was a different story for a great power like the Qingfeng sect, and it was an organization in the form of a sect.

Although the inheritance of a master was also very important, it was still a little lacking in terms of blood relations. It might be fine if they were direct disciples from the same master, as they would have a close relationship. But what about some ordinary inner disciples? An in-name disciple accepted from the outer sect? That’s a little far off. There were even some in-name disciples who were master and disciple in name, but they might not see each other for 20 to 30 years. In name, they were master and disciple, but in reality, they were subordinates who followed orders.

The conflict between the aristocratic families and the pure master-disciple inheritance was deeper.

The cultivators of the aristocratic families had a great influence in the sect. This was easy to understand. In a cultivation family, there were cultivators for generations. The probability of their descendants producing cultivators was higher, and the probability of them producing talented people was slightly higher. More importantly, the resources held by the aristocratic families were incomparable to many people who had stepped into cultivation from individual cultivators. Under the circumstances of better cultivation, they were more likely to become successful.

...

As a result, a large number of middle and upper-class cultivators in the sect came from aristocratic families.

However, were there no ordinary mortals or itinerant cultivators who could become successful? It was impossible. There were many mortals and unaffiliated cultivators. There would always be some people with outstanding talent or people with special opportunities. Didn’t lu Qing climb up from his status as an unaffiliated cultivator in the past?

These people were the largest group of people that made up the Qingfeng sect. Most of them were outer sect disciples. A few of them were talented and worked hard in cultivation. They became inner sect disciples, while some of the lucky ones were chosen and accepted as disciples by some Masters.

However, the higher one climbed on the Qingfeng sect’s pyramid, the fewer these unaffiliated or humble class people were, and the more aristocratic family disciples there were.

There was a contradiction-the cultivators of the aristocratic families would perform better by relying on the support of their family’s power. At the same time, they would be more United in the sect, and the resources they would take up would be greater. The humble class disciples were like a plate of loose sand. There were obviously more people, but they didn’t get much.

Even some geniuses from the humble class would find it difficult to reverse this situation.

For example, Daoist Kong Tong came from a humble family and had reached the peak of the Qingfeng sect. His thoughts were no secret. He wanted to reform the Qingfeng sect and try his best to remove the influence of the aristocratic families in the Qingfeng sect. He wanted the aristocratic families to be the Guardians of the sect, but they could forget about becoming the Masters of the sect. He had exerted too much influence on the sect. He believed that the Qingfeng sect belonged to the cultivators of the sect, and everyone should place the sect as the highest priority and have the highest faith. As for those cultivators from the aristocratic families who always thought that their families were the most important, they could either stay far away and not eat the resources of the sects or give up on the aristocratic families and devote themselves to the sects.

But how could the cultivators from aristocratic families do that? Lu Wenen would no longer be a member of the Lu family after entering the sect? Hai Sande could only be the sect’s Grand Elder, and all the matters of the hai clan in Dong Hai County would have nothing to do with him?

It was unrealistic.

As humble class cultivators, their parents, brothers, and friends were all mortals. When the time came, their mortal roots would be severed and they would be able to focus on the sect. However, the cultivators from aristocratic families were different.

When it came to this golden core matter, sect leader Kong Tong wasn’t against Li Yanling obtaining it and becoming a golden core cultivator.

...

From Kong Tong’s point of view, although Li Yanling was hai Sande’s direct disciple, she came from a poor family and was not a cultivator from an aristocratic family. Although she would be greatly influenced by hai Sande, she could be considered to have a proper background and did not have such a big bias between factions.

Moreover, she was very obedient to hai Sande now, but it might not be the case when she became a Jindan in the future.

However, what he could not accept the most was that Li Yanling was going to marry Lu chaoxi and become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

Good fellow, not only did she get close to hai Sande, the head of an aristocratic family of cultivators, she even became the daughter-in-law of the Lu family? In the Qingfeng sect’s system, the Lu clan was a very marginal existence!

How could this be?

In Kong Tong’s mind, Zhenren yunxuan was the most suitable candidate.

He came from a poor family, lost his mortal roots, put the sect first, and was even his own personal disciple.

It was perfect.

On the other hand, Li Yanling was under more pressure.

It was obvious that hai Sande or the hai family couldn’t hold on much longer. Hai Sande could no longer interfere with the battle at the initial enlightenment level. It was already good enough that he could hold Daoist Kong Tong back.

Under such circumstances, as an elder of the sect’s discipline Hall, perfected yunxuan would always use Zhao Zidan’s death as an excuse to stir up trouble. Sometimes, he would send people to Li Yanling’s secluded cultivation area to make a ruckus and ask her to come and answer questions. Sometimes, he would even bring Zhao Zhengdong with him. In other words, she was asking her to hand over her golden core to the sect before they judged her.

After doing this many times, he had disturbed Li Yanling’s cultivation.

If Li Yanling was interrupted, she would have wasted a few months of her efforts.

She could not take the pressure anymore. She wrote a letter to Lu chaoxi and asked him to go to the sect. This was to relieve her stress.

Li Yanling wanted to use this method to express her thoughts clearly: My father-in-law is old ancestor Lu, Lu Qing. My husband, Lu chaoxi, is here. If you need anything, you can look for him directly. Don’t bother me.

At the same time, if Lu chaoxi were to go, as the clan head and Lu Qing’s eldest son, he would send a message: The Lu family had officially entered the center of this storm.

......

After explaining everything, Lu chaoxi asked, ” “What does father mean?”

“Don’t ask me,” Lu Qing said, ” she’s your own wife. You can think about it yourself.

“I want to go.” Lu chaoxi said, ” we can’t escape from this storm. I need to go over and support Yanling. I need to give her confidence. I also want to tell everyone that she’s part of the Lu family now. If they bully her, they’ll be going against the Lu family.

“Then let’s go.” Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, ” bring that level four fire talisman.

Lu Qing had left a level four fire talisman in the clan in the past. However, it was not easy for the cultivators in the clan to activate the fire talisman. In the past, the clan didn’t have any initial enlightenment cultivators. When Foundation establishment cultivators used this fire talisman, it was very easy for them to drain themselves dry and not be able to activate it.

However, when one reached the initial enlightenment stage, there would not be a big problem in using it.

With this fire talisman, Lu chaoxi’s personal safety would not be too much of a problem.

After that, Lu Qing also reminded him, ” however, you have to be mentally prepared. You will encounter many things on this trip. Furthermore, many things can not be solved by fighting. You have to rely on your own brain. Take care of yourself.

thank you for your reminder, father. You’re the family’s, your son’s, greatest support.

Lu Qing shook his head slightly and sighed. Kong Tong, Qianqian, will not give me too much face. He actually hates me.
