Two years have passed in a flash.

Yunling Peak, a cultivation cave mansion.

Ye Tongxuan sat on the futon with his eyes closed, surrounded by a silver aura, and there was a crackling sound of thunder and lightning.

Suddenly, Ye Tongxuan opened his eyes, and all the silver aura around him swung out and bombarded the wall.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Tongxuan's mouth, after two years of practice, "Thunder Trick" has finally been a little successful.

In the past two years, he has made small achievements not only in the practice of the exercises, but also in the realm.

At this moment, a transmission note appeared at the door of the cave, and Ye Tongxuan sensed it, opened the prohibition, and let it in.

"Tongxuan, come to the council hall quickly."

The voice of a middle-aged man came from the transmission note. With this voice, Ye Tongxuan could hear that it was from Ye Shoushan, who was now the highest in the family's word guarding generation.

Ye Shoushan personally passed the message, I'm afraid the matter is urgent. Ye Tongxuan immediately got up and rushed to the Ye family's meeting hall.

The Ye family's meeting hall was located on the top of the mountain, and when Ye Tongxuan arrived, there were already three people waiting for a long time.

"Tong Xuan has seen the patriarch, the seventh grandfather, and the third uncle." Ye Tongxuan arched his hand one by one.

The white-haired old man sitting at the top nodded slightly, his figure was a little thin, but his eyes were bright. looked at Ye Tongxuan, who was standing at the bottom, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

Ye Yongkang, who was sitting on the left, said: "I called you here this time, it is really urgent, and there is no way." In the past three years, the family has been in trouble, and now there is a shortage of manpower, and I need you to go down the mountain to help. ”

In the two years that Ye Tongxuan was in retreat, the Shen family had a lot of actions against the Ye family. The Ye family was tired of coping, and people from the clan continued to die in conflicts with the Shen family.

Compared with two years ago, the Ye family is even more short of manpower. After discussion, the Ye family really had no choice but to let Ye Tongxuan go down the mountain to garrison and relieve the pressure that the Ye family was facing now.

Regarding the family's decision, Ye Tongxuan also expressed his understanding. Originally, according to the rules of the family, Ye Tongxuan should have gone down the mountain three years ago to do something for the family.

Being able to extend the cultivation in Yunling Peak for two years is already a great convenience for the family.

"Since the family is in need, Tongxuan naturally will not refuse." Ye Tongxuan understood the meaning of the family, and he was going to go down the mountain to garrison in a few days.

Ye Yongzhang, the patriarch sitting on the top, opened his mouth and promised: "This time you go down the mountain, the family will try to let you go to a place with a spiritual vein." Try not to delay your cultivation as much as possible. ”

In order to stabilize the dissatisfaction in Ye Tongxuan's heart, the patriarch prescribed such a condition. If after descending the mountain, there is also the assistance of the spiritual vein, although the intensity of the spiritual energy is not as good as cultivating on the Yunling Peak, but it is still much better than the conditions for stationing in the mortal realm.

Regarding the matter of cultivation resources, Ye Tongxuan didn't have too much to worry about. Now that Ye Tongxuan has purple spirit water in his hand, he doesn't have to worry too much about resources.

It is also a good thing to leave Yunling Peak, which is full of people. After all, the matter of "Hongmeng Tao Sutra" is very important, so it is better to keep a low profile as much as possible.

Seeing that Ye Tongxuan did not obviously reject, the patriarch and the others were all relieved.

"This time you go to garrison Jiutai Mountain. Jiutai Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Shoushan, if you encounter any problems, you can ask Shoushan for help at that time. Seeing that Ye Tongxuan did not refuse, Ye Yongzhang told Ye Tongxuan where he was going to be stationed.

Jiutai Mountain is a peak of the Ye family's first-order lower grade spirit vein, and it is a certain distance from Yunling Peak. At present, there is only one mid-stage Qi refining monk leading a small group of monks to garrison.

Jiutai Mountain governs a county seat, Qingshi County. At present, the monks stationed in Jiutai Mountain not only have to govern the cultivation of elixirs near Jiutai Mountain, but also maintain Qingshi County from the infestation of demon beasts and loose cultivators, which is already a little inadequate.

The family sent Ye Tongxuan to garrison Jiutai Mountain this time, also to make up for the lack of combat power, with the late stage of Qi refining monks stationed, the situation in Jiutai Mountain will improve a lot.

According to the meaning of Ye Yongzhang's words, Ye Tongxuan did not go down the mountain this time to do chores for the family like his peers, but directly stationed on one side. From such an arrangement, it can also be seen that the family attaches great importance to Ye Tongxuan.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a heavy responsibility for Ye Tongxuan.

Ye Tongxuan's cultivation speed gradually corrected the family's previous understanding of Ye Tongxuan's pseudo-spiritual root. The family also began to tilt resources towards Ye Tongxuan.

Although Jiutai Mountain is close to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, its safety is definitely not as good as that of Yunling Peak. However, for Ye Tongxuan, it was a cultivation elixir that could let go of his worries and obtain enough cultivation resources.

Moreover, with Ye Shoushan taking care of him, his situation will not be too dangerous. Taking a step back, part of Jiutai Mountain's income can be reserved for Ye Tongxuan's own use, that is to say, the higher Jiutai Mountain's income, the more Ye Tongxuan's income will be.

In the eyes of the patriarchs, Ye Tongxuan's decision to go down the mountain this time was a disadvantage, after all, Ye Tongxuan's cultivation time was squeezed out, and the cultivation resources he got were much less.

However, in Ye Tongxuan's opinion, it was not necessarily a bad thing, so he nodded and agreed.

Ye Shoushan, who was sitting on the right-hand side, spoke: "Since this is the case, then you should pack your things and leave for Jiutai Mountain immediately." ”

Ye Tongxuan saw that he was ordered to leave, and returned to his cave mansion first.

After Ye Tongxuan left, the three Zhuji in the hall had not left.

"Sending the younger generation of the family down the mountain this time is undoubtedly to quench your thirst. In the long run, it will be harmful to the Ye family. Ye Shoushan said with a sad face.

The Ye family guards the characters, he is the only one who builds the foundation, and there are several people who stay in the late stage of qi refining. More clansmen only have cultivation in the middle stage of Qi refining.

And the literacy generation is even more embarrassed. In addition to Ye Tongxuan's strength at the seventh level of qi refining, many Tongzi cultivators were sent down the mountain to assist in family affairs in the middle of qi refining.

"There is no way to do it, only to take one step at a time." Ye Yongkang said, with a hint of sadness in his tone.

"The family will be more difficult in the past few years, although the Shen family is very ambitious, but it does not have the strength to completely eat us.

Our immediate priority is to expand the family's power as soon as possible. The restrictions on the joining of the Ye family by scattered cultivators can be appropriately relaxed. Ye Yongzhang said.

"Having said that, now that our Ye family is in decline, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Even if this restriction is appropriately relaxed, the number of casual cultivators that can be recruited will not be too large. "Ye Shoushan Road.

The Ye family's operation started very early, but unfortunately, the effect was not very obvious. In the past ten years, there have only been more than 20 monks who have joined the Ye family. Among them, there is not a single monk in the late stage of Qi refining.

Even the monks who joined were all monks with very poor roots and no hope of further cultivation on the way.

Such a monk has limited achievements, and joining the Ye family is just looking for a backer.

The addition of these casual cultivators is only a drop in the bucket for the family's current predicament. The best way to solve the current predicament is to train the family's own monks. But this is not something that can be done overnight.

This requires the accumulation of time, but according to the current situation, I don't know how much time the Ye family has left.
