To the south of the Canglan realm, there is an endless forest, and five hundred kilometers south of the forest, there is a city called Mubo City.

Miao Bo City is located in Nanzhou near a large canyon area, here is like spring all year round, fresh and elegant, full of spiritual energy, is a good place for practice, in this area there are a total of twelve large cities, and Miao Bo City is one of them.

Busy people are constantly shuttling in the city, frolicking children, noisy crowds, people are busy with their own things every day, the dazzling goods on the street, and the shopkeepers wiping sweat on the side, all show that this is a very prosperous big city.

There are four major Xiuzhen families in Miao Bo City, and the Ling family is one of them, the Ling family is located in the east of Miao Bo City, with thousands of members under its command, and countless industries are distributed in Miao Bo City, even other cities can see the shadow of the Ling family everywhere.

It can be seen that the strength is very famous in the entire twelve cities, and it has an important position in the city of Mubo.

And today it is obvious that the Ling family is very busy, regardless of men, women and children, they are all mobilized, and they can see the busy figure from top to bottom, as if there is something big.

In the mansion of the main courtyard of the Ling family, there were two people sitting on the seats in the hall laughing and talking, one of them was yesterday's Steward Ling, and the other was a middle-aged man, his body was dignified, his face was broad, his eyes were like sharp swords, and his two curved eyebrows were like paint. The chest is broad, and there is a thick breath emanating from the body.

This person is none other than Ling Taihong, the head of the Ling family.

"The head of the family seems to have improved a lot recently!" Steward Ling said with a smile to Ling Taihong.

"Haha, it seems that nothing can be hidden from the eyes of Cheng Lao!" Ling Taihong also replied with a smile, his tone also carried a hint of respect, it seems that this Ling steward's status in the Ling family is obviously extremely high.

Steward Ling laughed, gradually looked outside, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said to Ling Taihong with an inquiring expression on his face: "I heard that Miss Yulan is coming back today?"

"Yes, after ten years of cultivation in the Daochen Sect, according to the transmission, he will be back today" Ling Taihong's face showed relief, his daughter was selected by the Daochen Sect ten years ago to be cultivated as a Daozi, and now he has returned to his father, although there is no expression on his face, but he has been looking forward to it in his heart.

Steward Ling seemed to see Ling Taihong's thoughts, and didn't speak, just took a sip of tea and was silent, as if he was thinking about something else.

Ling Taihong's eyes saw that the housekeeper seemed to be thinking about something, and couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what Cheng Lao is thinking?"

Hearing Ling Taihong's inquiry, the housekeeper's face changed slightly, and he sighed: "Coming back this time means that this selection has also begun!" The housekeeper looked at Ling Taihong's eyes and said lightly: "How are you preparing?"

The head of the family, Ling Taihong's complexion also changed slightly, and his eyes slowly became solemn: "Although it is similar to ten years ago, this time it will never be disturbed. Ling Taihong's face sank after speaking.

Every ten years, the Daochen Sect will recruit disciples in the major major cities, and the families in the major cities will send their carefully cultivated children and disciples to the test, laying the foundation for their long-term development and enhancing their own strength.

The more people sent, the better, the more the family will become stronger and stronger in the future, and the fewer the others, the more it will slowly decline in the future.

But it's not as much as you want, there are a total of fifty places in each city, which is far from enough in those big families, all of whom will send their prepared children to the test first.

Those who succeed in the test can stay in the test area temporarily, and then decide whose children can go to the Daochen Sect through the big competition held in the city.

In the past, the Ling family could often get a good result in the big competition, and they could occupy ten to twenty places every time, but I don't know when this number of places became less and less, from more than twenty to ten, and from more than ten to single digits, which was absolutely impossible in the past.

It is clearly said that the Ling family will decline in a few hundred years, and even said that it will be a small family in two hundred years, but secretly they all know that this is because the other three major families do not want the Ling family to be powerful, and they will join forces to suppress the Ling family.

Although it was normal on the surface every time, secretly these three families secretly joined forces to deal with the Ling family every time they were in a game.

If you encounter someone from the Ling family, you are extremely ruthless and sharp, but on the contrary, you will be completely perfunctory and hasty on your side, saving time and retaining a lot of strength.

Although his own family can also cultivate in addition to sending Daochen Sect, it is a big sect, and Daochen Sect is also a second-level sect in Nanzhou, and its strength and heritage are far from being comparable to that of a family.

If a disciple cultivated by a sect fights with a disciple cultivated by a family, none of the twenty disciples of the clan will necessarily be able to beat a disciple of the sect.

In case someone in his own family has a certain amount of power in the Daochen Sect, it will be a great help to his family, so no matter which family he has, he attaches great importance to this place.

Every time the Ling family saw the few places, the head of the family, Ling Taihong, couldn't help but be angry, although he knew that the three major families had joined forces, but he had no evidence, and he had no choice but to suppress that anger in his heart.

And ten years ago, the big competition made Ling Taihong completely angry, he didn't expect the three major families to attack the Ling family openly, and their various behaviors were undisguised, Ling Taihong directly shot with a sword-rattling, but he was unexpectedly repelled by one of the two elders of the Great Dao Dust Sect who came to test the personnel.

It seems that the three major families don't know how to buy a Daochen elder, which makes Ling Taihong hold back his anger when he looks at the candidate who only has three places, but fortunately, his son and daughter were tested to be rare qualifications during the test.

Being made an exception by another elder to make an extra two places, Ling Taihong's mood eased a lot, but he still hid this evil breath in his heart.

Ling Taihong thought that the complexion inside was gradually gloomy, and then he found that there were a lot of noisy sounds outside.

At this time, a subordinate dressed in family clothes walked in, arched his hand to Ling Taihong and said, "The head of the family, the eldest lady, they have already entered the city. With that, he withdrew.

Ling Taihong's expression recovered, glanced at Steward Ling, and slowly got up with Steward Ling, and walked outside together.

"Look at what this little girl looks like, see if I recognize the old man! Steward Ling also retracted his thoughts, and at this time, with a smile on his face, and Ling Taihong, who was looking forward to it, walked out.

The noonday sun was only strong, and its warm sunlight shone on the city of Miubo, revealing a trace of heat.

Bai Chen's task today is not heavy, just watering the plants in the backyard to keep them alive, and he doesn't have to prune them every day, so he is almost busy in half a day.

Because he was too excited yesterday and caused himself to lose sleep for half a night, Bai Chen dreamed yesterday that he had become a master of immortal cultivation and became a famous town, as long as he thought that he was going to become an immortal cultivator, Bai Chen was full of strength, and he didn't feel tired at all when he watered the flowers this morning.

"Could it be that I am an immortal cultivator now?" Bai Chen imagined in his mind, but then it was unrealistic to think about it, and he was about to go back to sleep to make up for yesterday's insomnia, when he heard a lot of voices coming from outside.

Seeing that his task was completed, he went out to see what was going on, and when he came out of the backyard, he saw many families busy there.

"Looks like something's going on. Seeing this, Bai Chen secretly thought, because Bai Chen's place of residence and work is a bit special, and he usually doesn't meet anyone when he goes back or works, so Bai Chen doesn't know what happened.

At this time, a family member walked past Bai Chen, Bai Chen saw that he stopped directly and asked what was going on, the family Ding saw Bai Chen stop his expression and showed displeasure, and after seeing the garden character pattern on Bai Chen's body, he turned into envy, and hurriedly replied: "This is the brother in the backyard! No wonder you may not know." ”

"Today is the day when Miss returns, so everyone is very busy today to greet Miss. After speaking, Jia Ding left Bai Chen's side and went to his post to get busy.

Bai Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, he had also heard of this eldest lady of the Ling family, this eldest lady's name was Ling Yulan, it was said that she was sent to cultivate immortals because of her very unnatural qualifications during the test that year, and she was eliminated from that test.

This in the sky above the city of Miaobo, there appeared a huge warship, this warboat is purple, there can be more than 100 people on it, magnificent, standing in the sky above the city of Miaobo, there is a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

The people of the city looked at the gang above and exclaimed, but there were four exclamations in the east, south, north, west, and north.

Because the sunlight of the warships that appeared was mostly obscured, the city of Miu Bo was much darker.

"What is this! It's still flying in the sky," exclaimed a young man.

"Young man, this is called a fairy boat, and it is something that immortals travel. There was an old man next to him who had obviously seen it.

"It turns out that this is the fairy boat!" In the shock of the young man and the shouts of the crowd, the war boat slowly sailed towards the Ling family in the east.

In a place in the Ling family, there was a huge open space, obviously prepared for the war boat, there was no grass around here, it was extremely clean, it seemed that the head of the family had sent someone to clean it after learning that the young lady had returned.

In this open space, the head of the family, Ling Taihong, stood in front with his hands behind him, and behind him was Steward Ling, and many elders came to greet him, after all, he had cultivated immortals for ten years, and he was the Tianjiao figure of the Ling family, or the daughter of the head of the family, so Ling Yulan's return to the Ling family also attached great importance to it.

Bai Chen followed the crowd to the clearing, and was also surprised when he saw this clearing, Bai Chen didn't know that the Ling family had such a big place, after all, the Ling family was too big, Bai Chen didn't walk around the Ling family except for the backyard where he worked and the few pieces where he lived.

I estimated that I had to walk around the Ling family no more than one-tenth, and when I saw this open space at this time, I also secretly sighed at the depth of the Ling family's heritage.

In front of the crowd, behind the elders, there was a group of imposing young people, this group of young people was the heirs of the elders of the Ling family, although they were not descendants but they were also side children.

"Second brother, what did you say about the cultivation of eldest brother and Sister Yulan and Brother Feng Guang, can you reach the foundation building?" At this time, among this group of young people, there was a gorgeously dressed but somewhat dull-headed young man who asked the young man next to him, this stupid young man is named Ling Ke, and he is the third son of the second elder of the Ling family.

The young man next to him was somewhat similar to Ling Ke, but he didn't have a dull atmosphere, but he looked gentle and elegant, a well-read young man, this young man's name was Ling Fa, the second son of the second elder and Ling Ke's elder brother.

Ling Fa chuckled when he heard this, looked at Ling Ke and said, "It will definitely not be a problem to build a foundation with the talents of these four people!" Ling Fa said in an affirmative tone.

"Hmph! If it weren't for the Zhao family, the Huang family, and the Yun family, the three families made some tricks against us, so that our quota was so small, the people who are on the battle boat now must have the place of me and my second brother. Ling Ke said indignantly, and then just wanted to complain a few words, only to see the Ling family's warship slowly floating in the sky.

"It's coming!" Ling Taihong, the head of the family, looked at the war boat in the sky and waved his hand back: "All retreat." ”

Everyone retreated one after another when they heard the order of the head of the family, and saw the war boat slowly falling, and the war boat suddenly landed on the open space of the Ling family with a bang.
