In the open space outside the Ling Patriarch's Hall, Ling Yang, Ling Bo, Ling Sen and other juniors who had performed well in the martial arts competition had already gathered here.

"Ling Zimo, why did you come, we have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Ling Bo asked.

"I'm sorry, I just got the news that I've come here to assemble. ”

Ling Zimo replied.

"Ling Zimo, although you defeated me this time, don't be too happy. Give me ten years, and I'll beat you. ”

Ling Yang said with his head held high.

"Always available. ”

Ling Zimo said calmly.

"You two don't quarrel as soon as you meet, let's go! Elder Taishang is in a hurry. ”

Ling Sen reminded.

Under the leadership of Great Elder Ling Tiannan, a group of more than a dozen people entered the Hall of Elders in an orderly manner.

Ling Jie nodded with satisfaction after seeing Ling Zimo and the other juniors.

"You are all the elite of the Ling family's juniors, the hope of the family's rise. I want you to become stronger, so I decided to pass on the Zhen Clan's martial arts to you today. ”

As soon as Ling Jie's words came out, the juniors of the Ling family began to discuss excitedly.

"I heard me right! Elder Taishang is actually going to pass on the Guiyuan decision to us. ”

"Guiyuan Decision is the Ling family's most powerful three-rank martial arts, and when I learn Guiyuan Due, my strength will definitely increase greatly. ”

"Hurry up and hit me. ”

"What!"

"I want to make sure I'm not dreaming. ”

Ling Jie laughed, and more than a dozen light clusters flew out of the storage ring.

"This is the secret book of the Guiyuan Decision, you take it back and take it to understand it, and strive to learn the Guiyuan Decision as soon as possible. Improve your strength and win glory for the Ling family. ”

Ling Zimo and the others hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Elder Taishang." ”

Ling Jie said loudly: "Everyone else should go back first!" Zimo stayed. ”

Ling Yang and the others responded yes and withdrew from the Hall of Elders in an orderly manner.

Ling Jie looked at Ling Zimo with a look of amazement. He clearly remembered that when the ancestor worship ceremony, Ling Zimo was a cultivator of the eightfold quenching body, but now Ling Zimo's cultivation has actually broken through to the ninth level of the quenching body. Such a talent, it's terrifying.

"It seems that the hope of the Ling family's future rise is going to be placed on Zimo. ”

Thinking so in his heart, Ling Jie turned around and picked up the ancient knife and handed it to Ling Zimo.

"Zimo, you are now the successor head of the family, and you can't do without your own weapons. I see that you like this ancient knife very much, so I gave it to you. ”

Ling Jie said with a smile on his face.

"How can this work, the ancient knife is a symbol of family honor, and Zimo is not qualified to use it. ”

Ling Zimo said sincerely.

"You are the successor of the noble head of the family, and your status in the Ling family is second only to the head of the family and us old men. If you're not qualified to use an ancient knife, tell me who is. ”

Ling Jie asked rhetorically.

"Thank you, Elder Taishang. ”

Ling Zimo was not a Mu Ne person, he knew that Ling Jie intended to give him the ancient knife, so he hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Ling Jie patiently taught Ling Zimo some cultivation experience.

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, and Ling Jie yawned.

Ling Zimo knew that Ling Jie had the habit of taking a nap, so he bowed and quit and left the Hall of Elders.

As soon as Ling Zimo walked out of the Hall of Elders, he saw Ling Ziyi.

"Brother Zimo, you can figure it out, the head of the family has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Ling Ziyi ran to Ling Zimo Road.

Ling Zimo hurriedly asked, "What is Daddy looking for me?"

Ling Ziyi smiled embarrassedly: "I don't know what the specific matter is, but the head of the family ordered you to go to the head of the family's mansion." ”

Ling Zimo and Ling Ziyi came to the head of the family's mansion together.

"Zimo, I'm glad that you can get the position of successor to the head of the family, but the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. From now on, you will follow Elder Taishang to cultivate together in the morning, and come to the Family Master's Mansion in the afternoon to deal with family affairs with me. ”

Ling Zimo knew that his father wanted him to become a qualified successor to the head of the family, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Father, I have a question, why is the Ling family's income so small this year?"

Ling Zimo looked at the Ling family's account books in recent years, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Three years ago, the Ling family's annual income was 70,000 taels of silver, but this year, the Ling family's annual income was only 40,000 taels of silver.

"Zimo, do you know the Shi family?"

Ling Tianbei asked.

"Of course I do. ”

The Shi family is not far from the Ling family, and it is the largest force within a radius of a hundred miles. The relationship between the Shi family and the Ling family was not friendly, and there was often friction between the two sides, and Ling Bo's parents were killed in the battle with the Shi family.

"The Ling family has many money-making industries in Xibi City, and the Ling family has gained a lot of wealth by relying on these industries. The strength of the Ling family increased rapidly, gradually threatening the hegemony of the Shi family. Therefore, in the past few years, the Shi family has been suppressing the Ling family in an attempt to curb the rise of the Ling family. ”

Ling Tianbei explained with a slight anger.

"The Shi family has a deep heritage and strong strength, and there are more than 300 martial artists in the family. Shi Qiang, the ancestor of the Shi family, stepped into the late stage of the Yuanquan Realm thirty years ago, and his strength was extremely terrifying, and he was an existence that even the Supreme Elders feared. ”

"The Shi family acted domineeringly and openly sent people to the Ling family's territory to make trouble. Destroy the Ling family's shops and destroy the Ling family's property. In the past few years, the Shi family and the Ling family have been in constant conflict. The Shi family forcibly seized the Ling family's property through various means, wanting to encroach on the Ling family. ”

"The main source of the Ling family's income is the industry in Xibi City, and we have lost a lot of profitable industries in the past few years, so the income will become less and less. ”

Ling Tianbei said with resentment in his eyes.

Seeing that the Ling family was being bullied by the Shi family, there was nothing he could do. Ling Tianbei's heart was very uncomfortable.

"I believe that one day, the Ling family will become stronger than the Shi family. And I firmly believe that that day is not far off. ”

Ling Zimo comforted Ling Tianbeidao.

Looking at Ling Zimo, who had a firm gaze, Ling Tianbei smiled and said, "Good boy, ambitious." You must cultivate diligently and contribute your strength to the rise of the Ling family. ”

Under Ling Tianbei's careful guidance, Ling Zimo's ability to deal with family affairs has been greatly improved.

After assisting Ling Tianbei in handling today's affairs, Ling Zimo returned to the room. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he opened the secret book of Guiyuan Decision, and began to cultivate Guiyuan Decision.

"Gui Yuan is definitely worthy of the martial arts of the Zhen clan, and he can compress the Yuan Force into energy and hurt people in the air. This kind of power is even more powerful than brute bull strength. ”

Ling Zimo looked at Guiyuan Due's introduction and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Ling Zimo memorized the method of returning to the Yuan, and his body was full of vitality. A shred of vitality gathered in the palm of the palm, forming a palm-sized spherical air mass.

"I'm not a martial artist yet, so I can't use Yuan Force. Without the blessing of Yuan Li, it is impossible to exert the true power of Gui Yuan Duel. It seems that you still have to work hard to cultivate and strive to become a martial artist as soon as possible. ”

Ling Zimo put down the distracting thoughts in his mind and concentrated on cultivating.
