Ding Changming led the way, with an extraordinary bearing, Ding Zhengyi followed behind, and the two walked out of the quiet room in this tacit understanding.

After a while, they came to the ancestral hall, Ding Changming directly pushed the door in, walked to the main seat in the middle of the ancestral hall, turned around and looked around, without saying a word.

Ding Zhengyi stopped at the door and saw several elders looking at him with different expressions.

He walked a few quick steps with great interest, and stood tall in the middle of nowhere, not far from the gate, with his eyebrows lowered.

"Hello Patriarch!"

After Ding Changming stood firm, several elders withdrew their gaze from Ding Zhengyi, and hurriedly got up and said in unison.

"No need to be polite, everyone should sit down. ”

Ding Changming waved his hand and said, and after the elders sat down, they also sat down.

From the moment a few elders sat down, the ancestral hall was silent.

"Everyone, there was a little delay just now, everyone knows what is going on in the clan club today, so let's say what you think. ”

Ding Changming coughed twice, without politeness, and went straight to the point, and Ding Zhengyi was also attentive and ready to listen.

However, after Ding Changming finished speaking, there was no elder to speak, and the ancestral hall was still silent.

Ding Zhengyi was a little surprised, raised his head slightly, quickly glanced around the ancestral hall, and instantly lowered his head to keep it as it was.

At the glance just now, he found that the expressions of the seven elders were clearly divided into three.

Among them, Grandfather Ding Changshou and the Great Elder, although they tried their best to show normal colors, there was a little smile in the corners of their eyes, but they betrayed their happy mood at the moment.

And the Seventh Elder, who had only been promoted in recent years, had a flushed face, his eyes were erratic, his chin was propped up, and he was groping for his beard, as if he had something on his mind.

The rest of the elders remained the same, each holding a teacup and staring at the spiritual tea inside, as if they could see a flower from it, and their faces were either indifferent or full of interest.

"Got all the comments?"

After waiting for half a cup of tea, seeing that no one spoke, Ding Changming's brows furrowed slightly, his tone was slightly solemn, and the coercion of the foundation building monk also leaked a trace of nothingness.

"Seventh Elder, let's talk about it first. ”

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Ding Changming tapped the handrail slightly with his right hand and nodded to the Seventh Elder.

"Last time, I was reckless, and after thinking about it repeatedly in the past two days, I realized that my previous thinking was too narrow, and now I completely agree with the patriarch's proposal. ”

The Seventh Elder was named by the patriarch to speak, his face flushed even more, and he replied weakly.

In fact, the Seventh Elder was quite tormented at this time, and with the qualifications of the Six Spiritual Skills, he had cultivated to perfection at the age of less than fifty.

Now that the energy is vigorous and the vitality is the strongest, it is the best time to hit the foundation.

It is a long-term process that usually takes several days.

During this time, nourishing the spiritual network, replenishing the vitality, and increasing the activity of the vitality all require the consumption of a large amount of spiritual objects.

These auxiliary spiritual objects can be pills, or middle-grade and high-grade spiritual rice, etc., but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all very valuable.

Theoretically, the more sufficient spiritual objects are prepared, and the higher the level, the better the effect of nourishing the spiritual network, and the more vitality can be refined.

A large amount of active vitality is the key to being able to liquefy into mana, and it is the hope of whether or not you can successfully build a foundation.

After the monk is over sixty years old, his energy declines, his vitality stagnates, and the chance of building a foundation becomes lower and lower.

The Seventh Elder was in urgent need of a lot of resources now, and if he got too much for rewarding Ding Zhengyi this time, it would inevitably reduce his income.

The lack of resources diminished the hope of the Seven Elders to build a foundation, which made him anxious.

This is not only a battle for resources, but also a matter of life for him, so in the last clan meeting, the Seven Elders were reprimanded by Ding Changming for their resolute opposition.

Of the seven elders of the family, only six elders were in a similar situation to him, and the other five elders were all over sixty years old and had no hope of building a foundation.

In addition to maintaining the most basic consumption, most of the family income they obtained was used to cultivate the younger generations of disciples.

Although they were also a little dissatisfied with the reduction of the resources they had obtained, Ding Zhengyi was also a very good disciple of the Yanzhi Branch, and with the strong support of the Great Elder and the Fourth Elder, this estrangement quickly dissipated.

The Sixth Elder was originally on the same side as the Seventh Elder, and he was quite insistent on lowering Ding Zhengyi's reward.

But since he was reprimanded by the patriarch last time, coupled with the persuasion of the elder who was close, he finally gave up this idea completely.

Originally, the Seventh Elder was going to work hard again today, after all, this was related to his path.

The strength is still secondary, and the longevity brought about by the increase in life level is not allowed to give up at all.

But when he saw Ding Zhengyi and Ding Changming coming together, he knew that the patriarch had made up his mind, and it was not something he could disobey alone, so he had to echo the patriarch's opinion.

"What the Seventh Elder said is right, do the others still have opinions?"

Ding Changming frowned slightly when he heard the Seventh Elder's answer, but after a moment, he recovered, and he looked very satisfied.

"Little Eighteen, you are participating in the family meeting for the first time, and you don't know the specific situation yet, Great Elder, let me give you a brief introduction. ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one still spoke, Ding Changming turned his head to Ding Zhengyi and said, and after speaking, he gestured to the Great Elder.

At this time, Ding Changming seemed to be stable as usual, but he was very embarrassed in his heart.

Originally, according to his plan, the Seven Elders raised objections again, and Ding Changming just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey to reduce the amount of Ding Zhengyi's reward and reduce the attention he received.

But the Seventh Elder unexpectedly expressed his support, which was completely unexpected by Ding Changming, and he had no choice but to change the topic first, and then think of a way.

Hearing the patriarch's arrangement, the Great Elder cleared his throat and spoke for the first time in today's clan meeting.

He described in detail how much Ding Zhengyi had contributed to the family and how good his talent was.

The family's proposal to reward Ding Zhengyi with 300 contribution points per month was also said after this description, and finally mentioned the discussion of the previous two clan meetings, of course, the part where the patriarch scolded the two elders was ignored.

The Great Elder said the time of a stick of incense, Ding Zhengyi heard the arguments of the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder, he actually understood the helplessness of these two Elders, everything seemed extremely fragile in the face of the continuation of life.

However, compared to the revival of the family, Ding Zhengyi felt that the sacrifice of the elders was still worth it.

Of course, Ding Zhengyi also understands that this is purely a matter of concern to himself, and he does not have a backache when he stands and talks.

If he was put in the current situation of the Seventh Elder, Ding Zhengyi would not give up easily.

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he returned to his previous appearance.

Only Ding Zhengyi rubbed his hands and didn't seem to know where to put them, showing a happy look on his face, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.

"You understand the consequences, little eighteen, what do you think?"

Ding Changming said lightly to Ding Zhengyi, as if asking his opinion.

Seeing Ding Zhengyi's performance very well, no matter his expression or actions, it was as if he had just heard the good news, and he couldn't help it, so Ding Changming decided to hand over this tricky matter to him.

When Ding Changming spoke, a "you know" expression flashed on his face, if it wasn't for Ding Zhengyi's constant preoccupation, he almost wouldn't have noticed.

"I am flattered by the family's love, but the Great Elder also mentioned just now that the family is still relatively difficult, and I think that two hundred contribution points per month can basically meet my talisman making practice. ”

Ding Zhengyi buried his head in contemplation for a moment, mixing excitement and emotions for the sake of his family, showing a kind of appearance of suffering from gains and losses.

Several elders originally thought that this was just a routine inquiry by the patriarch, and Ding Zhengyi should express his gratitude and give this matter a conclusion.

didn't expect Ding Zhengyi to come out like this, at this time they were all dumbfounded, looking at Ding Zhengyi and Ding Changming, they didn't know why.

Ding Changshou even ignored the image of the elder and winked at Ding Zhengyi, but he immediately thought that the patriarch had just called Ding Zhengyi over alone, and it was estimated that he had some explanation, so he hurriedly put away the strangeness.

"You can have this kind of thought, which shows that you always put the interests of the family first. ”

Ding Changming looked very relieved and said heavily.

As he spoke, he turned his head to look left and right, and several elders also heard the meaning of beating from his tone, and their eyes flickered, and they didn't dare to look at him.

"In that case, let's do what Little Eighteen wants. ”

Ding Changming took advantage of the situation, not only admonished the high-level of the clan, but also perfectly solved the problem of the reward amount, at this time with a smile on his face, his mood was much more comfortable.

Everyone, including the Seven Elders, subconsciously thought before the clan meeting that under the promotion of the patriarch and the cooperation of the Great Elder and others.

There will be no suspense about Ding Zhengyi's reward, but the result is full of twists and turns, until the dust settles, and they are still a little confused.

With the patriarch's final decision, the elders then reported on the trivial matters within their respective functions in the past few days, as is customary.

The process was lackluster, and Ding Zhengyi was also drowsy when he listened.

Half an hour later, when the meeting finally ended, everyone seemed happy, and it was clear that it was a successful clan meeting.
