Half a month later.

The disciples of the Su family came to the Alchemy Hall early in the morning.

As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw Chunfen, who was wearing a practice uniform, and was gesturing with moves.

The disciple didn't say it, but he couldn't help but be envious.

"With Elder Qin Lin's personal guidance, this little girl's cultivation will definitely be able to improve rapidly. ”

Thinking about it, the disciple's gaze looked at Qin Lin who was sitting on the stone chair in the courtyard.

"The disciple visits the elder. ”

Bow your hand and salute.

Qin Lin waved his hand, signaling that he would be exempted.

The disciple continued, "The head of the family asked the disciple to invite the elders to the council hall to discuss important matters. ”

"Su Hu actually came to me to discuss important matters? Do you want me to refine a few more Qi Condensing Pills?"

Qin Lin smiled faintly.

Then he said: "I know, you go back and tell the master of the house, and I will go over in a while." ”

"Yes!"

The disciple stepped back.

Chunfen finished playing a complete set of "Longevity Formula" and exhaled deeply.

"Childe, Chunfen can feel the martial energy in her body working. ”

"Well, that's good. Qin Lin nodded.

In the past half a month, Chunfen has been cultivating very diligently.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a day and night practice.

At this time, without the assistance of any elixir, with the subtlety of the "Recipe for Longevity" alone, she had already condensed three martial qi.

Although it is not much, in terms of Chunfen's own talent and the strength of the primordial spirit, it is already very remarkable.

"Let's go, let's go to the council hall together. ”

Qin Lin stood up.

When I came to the council hall, I saw that the hall was empty.

Unlike in the past, everyone in the Su family gathered, only Su Hu and a few elders, as well as Su Mo and Su Huan, were present.

"It's a deserted day. Qin Lin walked into the hall and said with a smile.

"When big things are discussed, there are many people talking. ”

Su Hu, who was sitting on the high seat, also replied with a smile.

He's in a good mood.

The Six-Rank Qi Condensing Pill that Qin Lin had specially refined for him had helped his cultivation reach the Triple Realm of Martial Artists.

On the territory of Changzhou, there are no more than ten martial cultivators who can reach the realm of martial artists.

"What kind of big thing, why don't I announce one thing first. ”

Qin Lin sat on the Taishi chair next to the five elders and spoke.

Su Hu nodded: "What does Lin Xian's nephew want to announce, please speak." ”

"Something about Chunfen. ”

Qin Lin glanced at Chunfen, and then continued: "I have begun to teach Chunfen martial arts cultivation, so Chunfen will no longer be a maid in the future, I will officially accept her as a righteous sister, so I also ask the head of the Su family to pass on this information to all the disciples of the Su family." ”

"Sister-in-law?"

Several elders in the hall heard Qin Lin's words, and they all showed surprised expressions.

Clan family, this is something that is destined to be born.

Several elderly elders were stubborn in their thoughts, and it was difficult for them to accept Qin Lin's idea of accepting Chunfen as his righteous sister for a while.

Even the Fifth Elder felt inappropriate.

"Lin'er, this is not a nonsense thing. ”

"Grandpa, my grandson didn't mess around. ”

Qin Lin was clear.

Just as his words fell, Su Huan, who was sitting opposite, stood up.

"Qin Lin, you're not fooling around? You just taught Chunfen to cultivate, and you actually accepted her as a righteous sister, doesn't this mean giving her clan status? Who gave you the right to do this? If every domestic servant flatters you, do you have to accept them as righteous sisters and brothers?"

"I want to accept Chunfen as my sister-in-law, but I don't need anyone to give me rights. ”

Qin Lin stared at Su Huan.

Indeed, the clan pays attention to blood.

In addition to the bloodline, it is to pay attention to the practice of martial arts.

To put it bluntly, you either have clan blood, or you have extraordinary martial arts cultivation, otherwise, you will never be able to be called a child of the clan.

Chunfen on the side couldn't help but lower her head at this time.

The little girl has low self-esteem.

After all, she really didn't qualify to be a clan child.

Su Hu stood up from his high position.

"Nephew Lin Xian, I can't pass on the information that you accepted Chunfen as a righteous sister to the disciples in the clan, even if it is passed on to them, they can't accept it, you should also know that they are cultivating hard so that they can one day enter the ranks of the clan, but now you have made Chunfen a clan with a word, it is really difficult to convince the public. ”

"Since that's the case, then wait a little longer, and I will let Chunfen show her strength and let everyone recognize her as a child of the clan. ”

Qin Lin also knew the underlying laws of the world.

All the clans are trying to ensure their superior status, and it is true that they will not accept Chunfen so easily.

"So...... So much better. ”

Su Hu didn't say anything anymore.

He then took out a piece of paper from his bosom.

"Yesterday, I received an invitation letter from the Governor, and I think everyone here knows that the quadrennial resource power meeting is about to begin. ”

"It's finally time for the martial arts meeting. ”

Su Huan heard the "martial arts" and immediately geared up.

Su Mo got up from his seat and said angrily: "Four years ago, in the martial arts meeting, we lost the medicinal mountain resources, so that we had to spend a lot of money to purchase medicinal materials outside, and this year we are bound to seize the medicinal mountain resources to fill the number of medicinal materials in our medicine warehouse." ”

"Yes, in addition to the resources of the medicine mountain, there are also mine resources that must be taken back. ”

Another elder stood up, also indignant.

Qin Lin listened, recalling it in his memory.

Soon he understood what exactly "Resource Power Martial Society" meant.

This is a kind of martial arts unique to the Western Continent.

To put it simply, the Western Continent is a resource-scarce continent, and all resources are in the hands of officials.

For example, the mines, medicine mountains, cloth and grain and other resources on the border of Changzhou are all controlled by the governor of Changzhou and the Qin family.

The boundary of Changzhou radiates 270 cities.

Therefore, even if the Qin clan is the largest clan in Changzhou, it is difficult to control the entire vast Changzhou in all aspects.

As a result, they held a "resource power meeting" every four years.

The purpose is threefold.

First, use resources to win over other clans on the border of Changzhou, and make these clans dependent on the Qin clan.

This was to consolidate the Qin clan's dominance.

Second, the young martial arts cultivators in each clan were selected by the way of martial arts, and outstanding teenagers were selected into the Qin clan, such as Su Chang, who was a blockbuster at the martial arts meeting four years ago, before he was selected into the Qin clan's guard corps and became a soldier under the command of the state lord.

This was to weaken the reserves of the clans.

Third, the clan that won the victory in the martial arts meeting could obtain the right to mine the selected resources for four years, but they could not take all the resources they mined as their own, and they needed to hand over fifty percent of the mining amount to the Qin clan.

In other words, it is the same relationship between landlords and peasants.

The landlord owns the land, gives it to the peasants, and the peasants hand over 50 percent of the harvest.

In this way, the Qin clan could receive half of the mining resources on the Changzhou boundary without spending half of the manpower.

"Four years ago, our Su clan suffered a miserable defeat to the Lin clan, and this year, we must be ashamed. ”

Su Hu clenched his fists.

Four years ago, he had just ascended to the position of head of the family, but he lost the two major resources of medicine mountain and mine in his hands.

This is undoubtedly an indelible shame in his heart.

But now that he says that he wants to be ashamed, he may not be able to get his wish.

After all, the Lin clan has occupied the medicine mountain and the mine for four years, and it has already grown and grown, and the strength of the disciples in the clan has soared.

Therefore, four years ago, it was impossible to fight, and this year it is even more difficult to match together.

Su Hu looked at Qin Lin.

"Nephew Lin Xian, the invitation letter from the state lord has already stated that a martial arts meeting will be held in the middle of next month, can you refine the pill and help our Su family disciples win in the martial arts?"

Hearing this, Qin Lin understood why Su Hu asked him to discuss important matters.

"Alchemy, of course you can, but as far as I know, the martial arts will only allow martial cultivators under the age of twenty to participate, and at the moment, the disciples of the Su family under the age of twenty are not as strong. ”

Qin Lin told the truth.

The Su family was once brilliant, but it did not escape the spell of "no more than three generations of wealth".

Now the relatives of the Su family are lazy and don't have much heart for martial arts, so their strength is not as good as before.

This is also the fundamental reason why it will lose to the Lin clan four years ago.

Su Hu sighed.

Qin Lin continued: "In the middle of next month, that is, almost twenty days, even if you rely on pills to strengthen the various attributes of your body, if you don't actively cultivate, you won't be able to improve your cultivation in time. ”

"Qin Lin, are you blind?"

Su Huan, who was sitting on the Taishi chair opposite, let out a complaining tone.

She stood up and said: "I deliberately rushed back from Muzong, just to participate in the martial arts meeting, the resources of Yaoshan were lost in my hands four years ago, and this year, I must take them back." ”

"It turns out that you also want to participate in the martial arts meeting, I thought that you are now a disciple of the Mu Sect, and you disdain to participate in the martial arts meeting of this kind of local clan. ”

Qin Lin sneered lightly.

Su Huan's feet suddenly exerted force.

Thunderbolt rushed in front of Qin Lin.

"You don't have to be weird here. ”

Su Huan was furious.

She really wanted to slap her, afraid of Qin Lin's death.

Qin Lin said unhurriedly: "Okay, since Miss Su Huan participated, there was still a little hope, but the rules of the martial arts association were that only one disciple could be sent to participate in one resource, and each clan could send a maximum of ten disciples, that is, to fight for ten resources at most, so where are the remaining nine disciples?"

“......”

There was silence in the hall.

In fact, this is also where Su Hu is in trouble now.

To participate in the martial arts, you must send powerful disciples.

The Su family's disciples under the age of twenty are indeed too poor.

If you send disciples to participate at will, it is a trivial matter if you can't grab resources, and it's a big deal to lose talents.

The Resource Power Martial Arts Association is a means of ruling in the eyes of the Qin clan.

In the eyes of each clan, in addition to grabbing resources, it also shows the strength of the clan.

"Why don't you do that, I'll participate too. ”

Qin Lin saw that Su Hu didn't speak for a long time, so he recommended himself.

As soon as Su Hu heard this, a flower immediately appeared on his originally sad face.

"It would be great if Lin Xian's nephew was willing to participate. ”

Qin Lin defeated Su Huan before, and his strength is obvious to all.

But just when Su Hu was happy, Qin Lin splashed a basin of cold water on his head.

"I participate in the martial arts meeting, but there is one condition, the Su family master must agree, otherwise, I will have to think about the alchemy again. ”

"What conditions, Lin Xian's nephew said. ”

"Let Chunfen also participate, as a disciple of the Su family's outer sect for the time being. ”

"Ah......h

Su Hu's smile stiffened.

Qin Lin stood up: "Don't worry, Chunfen will not embarrass the Su family, in addition, if she wins the martial arts, the Su family must recognize her identity as a child of the clan, and at the same time, give her the right to be the principal." ”

"What are you kidding, the principal!"

Su Huan was the first to object.

According to the hierarchical order of clan status, the head of the family, the elder, the chief, the steward, the auxiliary order, and then the outer disciples and domestic servants.

Qin Lin wants the Su family to do the main thing for Chunfen.

Traditionally, the presiding officer has to be a member of the family.

Therefore, if Chunfen is in charge, she is recognized as a child of the clan.
