Chapter Ninety-Six: The Difficulties of the Great Family
"Alas!"
Zi Teng didn't care about what others thought, just looked at Da Zhuang and Zi Yan and shook his head and sighed lightly, these two boys are also real enough, and they actually took out all the things they got.
You must know that since the Five Elements Source Stone is something that each family has to hand in every year, the market outside is very good.
With the current demand for the Five Elements Source Stone of various families, one Five Elements Source Stone can be exchanged for hundreds of low-grade Demon Soul Stones, how can the two of them get tens of thousands of dollars, that is equivalent to the income of a second-rate family in the past two months!
Although this money is nothing to Zi Teng, it is a lot of money to Da Zhuang and Zi Yan.
However, since the two of them had already taken out the things, Ziteng naturally didn't want to say anything, and looked at the people who were all looking forward to it, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Although I went to the Heavenly Gate, I didn't get much of it, and they are all here." As he spoke, he wiped his hand on the ring, and the floor was filled with piles.
"What? so much?"
Looking at the things on the ground, everyone looked stunned, and even the two elders "fluttered" and stood up, their eyes staring directly at the things on the ground, and soon, the hall was boiling again, and they smiled excitedly at each other, as if they had seen the family grow again.
Seeing everyone's expressions like this, Zi Teng was secretly happy in his heart.
Just now, just when everyone's attention was focused on the things that Da Zhuang and Zi Yan had taken out, Zi Teng had secretly put his ring on his eyebrows, and subtracted a lot of things that had been prepared in advance, only handing over three pieces of soul source jade, five hundred pieces of five element source stones, and a few other pieces of horcruxes that had been damaged.
He wouldn't be stupid enough to take out all the things he got, but even that would be enough to surprise these people.
Especially the three pieces of soul source jade, the eyes of the people in the hall turned green when they saw it, and they didn't expect Zi Teng to really be able to take out three pieces of soul source jade.
Wouldn't that mean that the family could be promoted to a first-class family this time? If this is the case, then everyone in the family will gain greater benefits.
And not only that, it was five hundred Five Elements Source Stones, enough for the family to use for ten years, even if it was promoted to a first-class family, it would be enough to be handed over for four or five years!
Let's talk about the broken weapons.
Although it has been badly damaged, there is still a faint demonic soul aura on it, and at a glance, it is clear that it has reached the Horcrux level.
And all the weapons that can reach the Horcrux level, the materials used are rare, especially in the current era when the resources of the human race are so scarce, there are not many such materials, if they are used, they can create a lot of extraordinary weapons for the family.
I remember that in order to buy a transcendent weapon for Zi Teng, Zi Yanfei spent a lot of demon soul stones.
"Hahaha......"
When the hall was quiet again, Zi Yanfei stood up with a loud laugh, and nodded incessantly: "Okay, okay, it seems that this time, our Zi family can finally return to the ranks of first-class families!"
Zi Yanfei was extremely excited.
How many years have passed, and he finally ushered in the moment when the Zi family rose again in his hands.
Everyone in the hall also looked at Ziteng and the three of them with envy, their eyes full of gratitude.
But no one noticed that the Great Elder Zi Yanguang, after squeezing out a smile stubbornly, quickly became a little cloudy again.
............
At the same time, in a more ornate hall, the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Lin Ruoxue, who was dressed in a white dress, was slim in the hall like a fairy in the moon, but her face was slightly cold, and her mouth was telling what had happened in the tomb, and from time to time it would attract a deep snort from everyone in the hall.
In the middle of the hall, there was a middle-aged man with tiger eyes and thick eyebrows and domineering sideways, Lin Xiaonan was standing on the side, and both of them were resentful, especially the middle-aged man, whose face was so cold that it seemed to be condensed into an ice cube.
"Hmph, this family is so big. ”
As soon as Lin Ruoxue's voice fell, she saw the middle-aged man slap the chair fiercely, stood up with a deep snort, and said with a murderous face: "How can anyone move my Lin Zhenghao's daughter?"
After saying that, the surrounding space seemed to be lowered by ten degrees in an instant, covering the entire hall with a thin layer of mist.
But soon, the mist gradually dissipated, and the middle-aged man also sighed and slowly sat back, but there was more concern on his face.
Lin Xiaonan, who was standing on the side, also shook his head slightly when he saw this, he naturally hated what the Heavenly Cliff in the middle of the Earth Tomb did to Lin Ruoxue, but he also knew what the head of the family cared about.
Big families also have the difficulties of big families.
Top families like Lin and Duan, who have stood in Zhenzhou City for so long, have corresponding means to check and balance each other, so that a balance can be achieved, and it is not just that one side can overwhelm the other.
Among them, the most important point is the guarantee of strength.
The reason why the two families can stand in the top families and no one can replace them is because there is an ancestor who has reached the peak of the Soul Realm behind the scenes of the two families, which is the deterrent of strength.
However, when the family is in danger of extinction, they will not appear easily, otherwise, in this hidden realm, how can there be other families?
But it was because the Duan family also had an ancestor to protect them, and his own ancestor was in retreat, so Lin Zhenghao had to reconsider the problem of recovering this problem.
In fact, after Lin Zhenghao used Zi Teng's Pan Demon Realm Ice Attribute Demon Crystal, he had successfully broken through to the second order of the Pan Soul Realm, which was originally one piece higher than Duan Changkong, the head of the Duan family.
But for some reason, that section of the sky didn't know what method was used, and it also broke through to the second order of the Soul Realm in time, which made the Lin family's just apparent advantage once again make the Duan family equalize.
In such a situation, if the two families fall out, it will inevitably bring great harm to the family, and Lin Zhenghao is really helpless in this regard.
Moreover, when he knew that Duan Tianya had fused with the Duan family's top demon soul, Lin Zhenghao felt more and more of a crisis, but at this time, it was not the time for the two families to go to war, and now he only hoped that the old family master could gain something in the retreat, and once he could break through to the half-step battle venerable, the Duan family would not be worried.
At this time, the people of the Lin family still didn't know that Lin Ruoxue had also fused with the top demon soul, and Lin Xiaonan hadn't had time to report to Lin Zhenghao.
"Dad, my daughter didn't say this to provoke a dispute between the two families. ”
As a core member of the family, how could Lin Ruoxue not know the current difficulties of the family, it seemed that she saw her father's concerns, but Lin Ruoxue's little face eased and said faintly: "I just want my father to know who his Duan family is." ”
In fact, Lin Ruoxue also has her own ideas when she says this.
In order to ensure peace between the two families for the time being, the two families already have the idea of marrying, so as to contain each other, at least to ensure that there will not be too much conflict in a short time.
But judging from the most suitable age of the younger generation of the two families, it is easy to fall on Lin Ruoxue and Duan Tianya, and the Duan family has indeed had such a plan.
Therefore, Lin Ruoxue said this, just to make the family dispel the idea of marriage.
As the head of the family, how could Lin Zhenghao not hear the meaning of his daughter's words, and thought, you are waiting for me here for a long time.
At this time, Lin Ruoxue glanced at the things she took out, intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "If it weren't for Ziteng's rescue several times, it is not certain whether my daughter can stand in front of you, how can there be these gains?"
"Oh, Ziteng?"
Lin Zhenghao felt a little wronged by his daughter, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, but at this time, when he heard his daughter mention Ziteng again, he immediately became interested, and then asked, "But the Ziteng who exchanged for magic crystals?"
"Hmm. Lin Ruoxue nodded.
Since Lin Xiaonan got back the magic crystal, he has mentioned Zi Teng more than once, Lin Zhenghao has long been a little curious, and later, when he was halfway through the trial in the Tomb, he learned from Lin Xiaonan's mouth that Zi Teng was very helpful to his daughter in the Tomb, so he thought about thanking him, so he asked Lin Xiaonan to take more care of the Purple family.
At this time, when he heard his daughter mention Ziteng, Lin Zhenghao knew that his daughter's entire trip to Diling was all thanks to him, and he couldn't help but think that he had the opportunity to really meet this kid and see if he was so good, so he said: "Ah, this, since he is kind to you, the Lin family will naturally not treat him badly." ”
However, there was one thing that made him mumble in his heart.
Lin Ruoxue got back a lot of things this time, there were as many as thirteen soul source jades, including ten given to her by Zi Teng, and the remaining three were obtained by her and Zi Teng in the Heavenly Gate, and in addition, she also took out three hundred and thirty Five Elements Source Stones.
Lin Zhenghao was thinking, if these things were related to Ziteng, could his daughter ...... to him
Of course, he couldn't say this in front of so many people, so he could only find an opportunity to ask again to see what his daughter was thinking.
In fact, Lin Zhenghao is not a pedantic person, and he also looks at the right things very lightly, but he has to take into account the overall interests of the family, after all, he shoulders the responsibility of the entire family.
As for the matter of opening the demon soul sealing energy, he no longer thinks about it, and it is the greatest comfort for his daughter to come back intact, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, since my daughter is safe and sound, don't always take the things in the tomb to heart, I will ask the Duan family for an explanation." ”
But after Lin Ruoxue heard this, she shook her head and said: "Thank you, Dad, however, please don't worry about your daughter, Duan Tianya's matter, I will find him to settle accounts sooner or later." ”
"Oh?"
Lin Zhenghao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he heard a charming voice coming from the side of the hall.
"Yo, although my little sister's trip to the Earth Tomb is hard, she has also learned to speak big. ”
When Lin Zhenghao saw that it was his eldest daughter Lin Hanshuang who came over, he couldn't help frowning.
He knows that his eldest daughter is jealous by nature and unwilling to admit defeat, so he will always find an opportunity to argue with his younger daughter, and this time he saw that his younger daughter came back safely and brought so many things, he must be unconvinced, so he came over to entangle.
But he can't help it, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and in this huge family, the only thing he can't control is these two eldest ladies.
"Frost ......"
Lin Zhenghao said in a deep voice, but before he could say anything, he heard Lin Hanshuang say: "Dad, haven't you forgotten the final task of this Diling trial?"
After speaking, he looked at Lin Ruoxue again, and said with a little disdain: "Little sister, since you have taken back so many things, have you ever obtained the energy that opened the Demon Soul Seal?"
"Hmph, since you haven't even been able to complete the family's task, where is the pride?"
Lin Hanshuang chuckled low after speaking, and continued: "I heard that the Heavenly Cliff not only got that energy, but also fused with the top demon soul, why do you settle accounts with others, people are top demon souls, I think it won't take long for you to fall a big bit!"
As she said this, she was secretly happy in her heart, except for cultivation, she is usually better than me in everything, and this time I can catch the opportunity to count you down.
But as soon as she was happy, she saw Lin Ruoxue's little face cold, and then a cold momentum rose, and then, a starry sky illusion appeared behind Lin Ruoxue.
And when he saw a phantom shadow in the starry sky, not only Lin Hanshuang, but even Lin Zhenghao stood up suddenly, and the entire family showed a look of surprise.
"What, dead girl, you ......"
Seeing the image of the demon soul in Lin Ruoxue's starry sky illusion, Lin Hanshuang couldn't help but scream in shock.
