On the way home from the ancestral hall, Ding Zhengyi kept thinking about what to do in the future, and he was worried all the way, and occasionally met a few clansmen, but he only greeted him vaguely.

But after thinking about it, he never had a clue, and he had no choice but to stop it.

When he saw the bamboo building at home, Ding Zhengyi simply let go of his mind and prepared to delay it for a few days.

He felt that he could not be too cautious in determining the path he would choose in the future.

After returning home, Ding Zhengyi saw that there was no one around, so he went upstairs directly to the cultivation retreat room, made preparations according to the usual practice, and then calmly cultivated it.

In the next few days, Ding Zhengyi maintained a state of concentration on cultivation, and he became more and more diligent.

Every day, he not only meditated and practiced qi, dredged the spiritual network, but also carried out high-intensity body forging and cultivation, and also drew intermediate fireball talismans without falling.

In between cultivation, the Concealment Array and the Psychedelic Array had to be placed several times a day, and the Breathing Technique was also practiced for a while.

The daily arrangement is so full, making Ding Zhengyi tired and at the same time feeling extremely fulfilling, this is the cultivation time he is very looking forward to and enjoying.

It wasn't until five days later that Ding Zhengyi finished his meditation and qi practice that day, and when he finished pranayama, he still maintained a cross-legged posture and did not get up immediately as usual.

This is because through these days of distraction-free cultivation, Ding Zhengyi feels that his mind is clear, so it is suitable for comprehensive thinking and making a choice that suits his own direction.

However, before using his brain, Ding Zhengyi first took out the storage bag in his arms and took out two one-foot-long jade boxes from them.

He carefully looked at the jade box, only to see that its surface was as warm as water, with a layer of spiritual light lingering, and a sealing spirit rune was pasted on the opening.

This is exactly the two jade boxes that he gave to him when he met the patriarch that day, Ding Changming gave him when he left, at that time, under his urging, he didn't have time to check it, and in order to maintain his mood in the past few days, he deliberately didn't take it out, and now it looks quite familiar.

After a slight pause, Ding Zhengyi took out an open jade box from under the bamboo couch, and put the three jade boxes together, and they were exactly the same.

The empty jade box that he had just taken out was also given to him by the patriarch a few years ago, and it contained three hundred-year-old spirit peaches.

After Ding Zhengyi ate the spirit peach, he felt that it was not like an ordinary thing, so he went to consult some classics, only to know that this thing really had a good origin.

The raw material of this jade box is an associated mineral from the spirit stone, which contains a faint trace of spiritual energy.

Although it is useless for cultivation, it is a treasure for preserving spirit fruits and elixirs, and when it is sealed, fresh spirit plants and spirit fruits that are easy to deteriorate and fail can be stored for decades.

Although this kind of jade box is not a magic weapon, because of its extraordinary effect and wide range of applications, its value generally exceeds that of the lower grade magic weapon.

Looking at the three identical jade boxes, Ding Zhengyi secretly thought in his heart, among the two jade boxes with seals, there should be six hundred-year-old spirit peaches.

As the highest-level spiritual object that can be produced in the family, the Breennial Peach also has a good auxiliary effect on the foundation building monks, which shows that it is precious and abnormal.

Ding Zhengyi still remembers that the three hundred-year-old spirit peaches he once consumed not only made his body forging technique improve by leaps and bounds, but also dredged the spiritual network in a thousand miles a day, saving a full year of hard work.

Even Ding Changming wouldn't have many spiritual objects of this level, and the six pieces in front of him were probably the only stocks he had.

Looking at these two jade boxes, Ding Zhengyi felt a lot of emotion in his heart, gradually let go of the shackles of his thoughts, and began to think about how to go in the future.

If you use these precious resources for your own cultivation, you can indeed make a big step forward in a short period of time.

Moreover, in the future, spiritual objects will be added every month to assist in cultivation or put into talisman making practice, and the improvement of cultivation progress and talisman level will also be accelerated.

However, Ding Zhengyi understands a truth, that is, cultivation is not to see how fast someone goes, but to see how far they can go in the end.

With the increase of cultivation, these limited resources will have less and less effect on Ding Zhengyi, and there is no need to expect the family to increase their share, it's not that the family doesn't want to, but it really can't.

Through several exchanges with the patriarch, Ding Zhengyi can roughly estimate the total annual income of the entire family from a lot of scattered information, and this value is about 50,000 lower grade spirit stones.

A part of these incomes should be handed over to the Xuanshan faction, and the daily consumption in the family is also a lot, and if it can really be balanced, the amount allocated by the family's upper echelons should not exceed 20,000 lower grade spirit stones.

After subtracting the elders' and deacons' salaries, as well as the necessary emergency reserves, the real ones that belong to the patriarch are only 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Although Ding Zhengyi didn't know how much the foundation building cultivator needed for his daily cultivation, it was estimated from the amount of white tooth rice he ate every day that it was at least ten times more than that of the Qi cultivator.

Those spiritual objects that can assist the cultivation of foundation building cultivators will take at least a hundred years or more, judging from the fact that a hundred-year-old spirit peach is worth hundreds of spirit stones, more than 10,000 spirit stones will not have much left even if they are enough for the patriarch to cultivate.

Therefore, with the current ability of the family alone, it is absolutely impossible to support the second foundation monk.

But if you want to achieve the revitalization of the family, there are not enough high-ranking monks, and that's just empty talk.

As Ding Zhengyi grows up, when the family is unable to provide the corresponding resources, he will inevitably fight for it from outside the family.

No matter how cautious he is, he will definitely touch the interests of other forces, even the sect.

What would be the result on his own, Ding Zhengyi didn't dare to imagine, the lesson of the last time the family went to the shallow sea to search for spiritual objects was extremely profound, and he still remembered the heavy damage he suffered.

If there weren't a large number of spirit runes, or if there weren't enough family cultivators, it would not be impossible for that catastrophe to be wiped out entirely.

This is just a battle for low-level spiritual objects, there is such a big battle, if more interests are involved, it must be even more dangerous.

Although he has stayed in the clan since he was a child and never goes out, from some subtleties of daily life, Ding Zhengyi can still appreciate how cruel the cultivation realm is.

Ding Zhengyi never thought that he was the son of destiny in the text of the romance and could be protected by heaven.

Every time he is in danger, he will be killed, and he will turn the crisis into safety under the hanging line.

From the various historical classics of the cultivation realm, he summed up one point, that is, all those who have great achievements are basically people who are forbearant from all sides, and there are very few masters who are born out of thin air.

Thinking that his strength is strong, he can take risks, and maybe he will leave some brilliant deeds, but the metropolis crosses the sky like a meteor and disappears into the ubiquitous crisis of the cultivation realm.

In Ding Zhengyi's view, it is not advisable to commit danger alone, without a partner with one heart and one mind to escort you, no matter how clever you are, you will eventually make a mistake, and in the bloody competition for resources, this often means death.

This is also the reason why he has never been out of the place of the family spirit since he was born.

It's not that Ding Zhengyi doesn't want to look for opportunities, it's that he doesn't know which comes first, danger or opportunity.

Only under the premise of safety can we talk about the harvest, otherwise no matter how hard we work, it is just a castle in the air, meaningless.

If you lose your life for resources, you are putting the cart before the horse, and the family's desire to rise is nothing more than empty talk.

After all, the power of the individual is limited, what Ding Zhengyi can do is to make the best use of things, unite the people with potential and ability, and use all favorable conditions to overcome all kinds of difficulties.

Now, using all the resources at hand, selecting and cultivating potential clansmen, giving them hope, and enabling them to grow fully is what I should do.

There is one thing he must pay attention to, that is, he must be concealed enough when doing this, Ding Zhengyi is not worried that being known by the clan will cause a bad influence in the family.

What he is afraid of is being targeted by external forces, especially the master and apprentice forces of the Xuanshan faction, there will be endless hidden dangers, judging from the current environment of the Xuanshan country, only the unexposed power is the means to be able to fight for resources.

Only after they have successfully developed and expanded, they will be the core force to obtain resources from the outside for the family, and only when the family is prosperous, can they have sufficient resources to continue to improve themselves.

Only when all aspects of oneself have been effectively improved, can the family be protected, the family developed, and the family strengthened, forming a cycle of sustainable development.

Thinking of this, Ding Zhengyi raised his head, and his deep eyes were full of determination.
