Lu Qing's five-year retreat passed in a hurry.

He was a monk, he had reached the Jindan stage, and of course he was familiar with the feeling of being in retreat for a long time.

But this time was different.

In the past, when I was in long-term retreat, I was cultivating, and I had something to do. But now in retreat, he really doesn't have anything to do.

Spirits can't leave the retreat room, they can only stay in this closed space, they can't turn on the system, they can't even pass the time by looking at boring data.

It's really like sitting for five years, and even the change of time will feel a little blurry.

However, there is a system to help him remember.

As soon as the five years came, a lot of system information popped up directly.

[Pingyao County's control has risen to 35%]

......

[Achievement: Qi Cultivator, 1-Star Achievement] ×3

[A new Qi cultivator has been added to the family, rewarding 5 karma]

......

[Achievement: Build a caravan, 1-star achievement]

【Build a family-controlled caravan and reward 10 karma】

......

[The domestication of the water spirit horse herd has been completed, and the annual income is 248 spirit stones]

......

[Achievement: New Resources, 2-Star Achievement]

[A new two-star resource has been added to the family, rewarding 50 karma]

......

[Raid event, click to view details]

......

After reading this bunch of system prompts, Lu Qing found that the karma he now had at hand was ...... It seems like there are quite a few.

After five years of retreat, fifty karma has been recorded in the account; in the past five years, the family seems to have three new Qi cultivators, each of whom has been given a five-point karmic reward; the caravan and the water spirit horse herd have been successfully domesticated, these should be regarded as resources, industries, and karma are also accounted for......

All told, his karma now reaches one hundred and twenty-six points.

That crusade incident, he also clicked on it and saw the details.

[Wandering Monster, Crusade Level: Two Stars]

[Enemy Type: Revenant, Demon]

[Quantity: 1]

[Average strength: second-order medium grade]

[Boss Strength: 2nd Order Medium Grade]

[Defeat Reward: 133 Karma, Second-Order Lower Grade Magic Weapon: Binding Yin and Leaving the Water Rope]

[The crusade has been achieved, and one person is sacrificed, Lu Tingzhi. 】

......

After clicking on the details of this crusade, Lu Qing's karma increased by another wave, reaching two hundred and fifty-nine points, but one Lu Tingzhi died because of this.

Lu Qing had an impression of him, and when Lu Qing was idle before, he looked at the entire family directory.

Tingzi, of course, is his grandson. This child is Lu Chaohe's second child, and he should be the strength of the sixth layer of Qi training, and he is very young, only thirty-seven years old.

The family is dead again.

To put it coldly, the life of a sixth-level cultivator who cultivates qi can be exchanged for a second-order low-grade magic weapon...... In fact, it is worth it in the cultivation world, even if this sixth layer of Qi cultivation is still very young, and there is a future.

But emotionally speaking, this person is his grandson, and Lu Qing will still be a little uncomfortable.

But this kind of thing will be more and more in the future, and it is impossible to avoid it, and he has to learn to adapt.

As for what this 'wandering monster' is, I still have to ask people when I go back.

He then clicked on the family's income items and looked at them in detail.

[Total annual income: 1245 spirit stones (year), Danfang: 115, fire refining room: 122, medicine garden: 99, Huineng stone mine: 210, Pingyao County tax: 383, water spirit horse herd: 298, Pingyao caravan: 18]

[Total annual expenditure: 1124 spirit stones (year), clan food: 820, resource maintenance: 195, territory maintenance: 109]

[Net income: 121]

[Savings: 447]

There has been a marked increase in the family's income, from 750 per year at the beginning to 1,245 now, an increase of more than 60 percent, and there has been a slight increase in expenditure, mainly in the maintenance of resources, but not too much.

On the whole, it seems that it has turned a profit......

In the future, if the family maintains its original state, it will increase the savings of one hundred and twenty-one spirit stones every year.

Five years ago, Lu Qing woke up for the first time and spent his karma to make a wave of operations, which finally brought rewards and turned the family's situation around.

In addition, the family population has also risen from one hundred and six to one hundred and twelve.

This population is counted as the entire clan. If you just look at the number of monks, three more dead ones mean that there are only two more monks.

With more than 200 karma in hand, Lu Qing has a lot of room for manipulation this time. Although he doesn't have any action items to choose from now, he has karma, so it doesn't matter. It's a big deal, the ten karma refresh wave and it's over.

He wasn't in a hurry to do much, and he wasn't in a hurry to call his children over. He floated out of his retreat room and outside.

On the Jade Smoke Mountain, Lu Qing walked around for a while, and he was very satisfied to see that the mental state of the family monks had obviously changed completely from the appearance when he first woke up. is no longer so full of depression, although everyone is not happy, but there are many high-spirited spirits of struggle on their faces.

I don't know if this is because of the morale-boosting family style option, or because the family's situation has indeed changed dramatically in the past five years.

Lu Qing believes that there are both, and more importantly, it is actually the latter.

The monks of the family will no longer be dragged out of the family benefits, and they can also get some additional rewards for doing things for the family, and they are no longer like before, a bit of a power generation for love. Of course, everyone loves the family, but everyone has to live their own life.

People can generate electricity for love and sacrifice for the family, but this sacrifice must be valuable, and it cannot be said that the family is not good to the clan, and the clansmen are still willing to work hard for the family one by one.

At the beginning, the family was all blood relatives and had a close relationship, so it was easy to say anything. But now, there are four generations from the Chaozi generation to the youngest literary generation, and the entire family has a population of hundreds of people. Take the literary generation as an example, it is said that they are all surnamed Lu and are brothers of the same clan, but if you count it up, it is difficult to count five generations before you can count the same ancestor here in Lu Qing.

If the personal relationship between the two is also average, just looking at the kinship, it is actually quite far away.

In the future, as the family population grows more and more, and the generations become deeper and deeper, the cohesion that simple blood can bring will become weaker and weaker. In the future, the most important factor that can continue to maintain the existence of the family, keep the family cohesive and not disperse, is the interests.

Interest is not a derogatory term, taking care of the interests of every family member is itself one of the meanings of the family's existence. Let those who are not talented enough and are not so willing to work hard have at least the most basic guarantees, and let those who are talented and ambitious have a more ambitious future with the support of their families.

If it can't be done, the cohesion of the family will inevitably decline.

There used to be this trend in the Lu family, but now it has reversed somewhat.

Lu Qing hopes that the future will get better and better.
