In the evening, the chief steward lined up with a long package in his hand, leading a young man to Xia Jingjun's practice room.

The young man is tall and talented, wearing a blue satin brocade robe, a gold silk sachet tied around his waist, and a paper fan in his hand, dressed like a rich man.

The cultivation of young people is not high, and it is only the realm of the first layer of the early stage of the qi induction period.

Seeing Xia Jingjun coming out of the quiet room, the young man said with a smile: "Brother Jun, you are still the same as always, you have been practicing hard all day long!"

Xia Jingjun had just finished cultivating, he was refreshed, and he was very happy to see the young man, so he stepped forward and said affectionately: "Second brother, you are busy with affairs, why do you have time to come and see me?"

Lin Yuzhong, the patriarch of the Lin family, had a daughter and two sons. daughter Lin Hongyu is just ten years old.

The eldest son, Lin Hongfei, is 32 years old this year, has excellent qualifications, is diligent in cultivation, and when he was less than 28 years old, he cultivated to the third level of the Qi Induction Period, entered the Yanyun Sect, the largest cultivation sect in Yanzhou, and became the outer disciple of the Yanyun Sect.

The second son, Lin Hongxin, was 28 years old, with average qualifications, and he didn't like to cultivate, so he took a lot of elixirs before he barely entered the first layer of the qi induction period.

However, Lin Hongxin has the ability and courage to do things, and his communication skills are also very strong, and he is good at taking care of secular affairs. Therefore, Lin Hongxin has become the most powerful candidate for the next patriarch of the Lin family.

Lin Hongxin put his arm on Xia Jingjun's shoulder, and said happily: "I heard that Brother Jun, you have broken through to the third layer of the Qi Induction Period, the whole clan is excited, Second Brother, I am extremely happy, I can't wait to come over, I want to have a few drinks with you to congratulate you first!"

As he spoke, Lin Hongxin mobilized his spiritual power and carefully observed Xia Jingjun. I saw that Xia Jingjun's spirit was flying, and the aura fluctuations revealed on his body were more restrained and dignified than before, obviously, his cultivation had made great progress.

& If you are broken, you are still not arrogant or impatient, practice hard and diligently, Brother Jun, you really have a bright future!" Lin Hongxin nodded again and again, and said to Lin Li beside him: "Manager Lin, our two brothers have some private matters to talk about, you go and prepare a table of wine and food for us, and when we talk well, let's have a drink together!"

>> Second Young Master!" Lin Li put the long package in his hand on the table and left.

After Lin Li and the others left, Lin Hongxin took out a cyan long sword from the package, handed it to Xia Jingjun, and said with envy: "Brother Jun, this is the superb sword 'Longyuan Sword', which is one of the top ten treasures of our Lin family." The family has decided to give it to you, believing that in your hands, it will be able to make a great difference. ”

The Longyuan Sword is made of high-grade dark iron as the main trunk, and is tempered by adding top-quality materials such as Mithril and Gold Essence.

Thank you, second brother!"

Xia Jingjun was short of a weapon to take advantage of, and was overjoyed when he saw the Long Yuan Sword, so he didn't shirk it, put the Long Yuan Sword in his hand, and was about to pull out the sword to take a look, but saw Lin Hongxin hand over a triangular silver token.

&Is it a white tiger token?" Looking at a vivid white tiger on the token, Xia Jingjun asked in surprise.

& It's a White Tiger Token!"

Lin Hongxin's rare Yan sù, Zhengrong said: "The White Tiger Token, second only to the Patriarch's Qinglong Token, there were originally only 5 people in the clan who held the White Tiger Token. Now to you, there are six. Brother Jun, holding this token is equivalent to the elder of the clan, not only has a noble status, but also can call most of the resources in the clan, you should be cautious when using it. ”

& Tiger tokens are so valuable that I can't take them. ”

Xia Jingjun hurriedly excused himself and said, "Second brother, I am a hairy boy, I have no merit and no virtue, and I have no contribution to my clan, how can I be qualified to serve as an elder in the clan?"

Lin Hongxin said with a smile: "Brother Jun only knows how to concentrate on cultivation, and he doesn't know some of the ancestral rules in the family! Hehe! Brother Jun, the harder you cultivate, the higher your cultivation realm will improve, the more secure the safety of the family will be, and the greater your contribution to the family." ”

After speaking, Lin Hongxin explained some of the ancestral rules of the Lin family to Xia Jingjun.

In the Lin family, although the patriarch has the highest status in the clan, the requirements for the patriarch's cultivation are not very high. As long as you have the ability and courage to make the family prosperous, plus the support of more than two elders, even if it is only the realm of the first layer of the Qi Induction Period, you can ascend to the top.

This is because, after serving as the patriarch, he is full of mundane affairs and busy affairs. The monks with high realms are all people with outstanding talents, who only care about cultivating and improving their cultivation, and few people care about the position of patriarch.

Therefore, almost all families, in addition to the high requirements for the patriarch's own bloodline and loyalty, will not have too high requirements for cultivation.

The elders of the clan are different, they have very high requirements for cultivation, and they must at least be at the realm of the third layer of the Qi Induction Period to be able to serve as such. There are no special requirements for others, even if the miscellaneous cultivators in the clan have reached the third level of the Qi Induction Period, they can also serve as elders. However, those who do miscellaneous work don't even have the cultivation method, and if they want to become an elder, the possibility is basically zero.

Of the five current elders of the Lin family, the highest cultivation is the sixth layer of the qi induction period, followed by the fourth layer of the qi induction period, and the remaining three people, including Lin Hongfei, the eldest son of the patriarch Lin Yuzhong, are still in the third layer of the qi induction period.

With Xia Jingjun's qualifications, he will definitely be able to become the first mainstay of the Lin family in the future. Therefore, as soon as the patriarch Lin Yuzhong received Lin Li's message, he followed the ancestral rules and gave the White Tiger Token to Xia Jingjun.

After Lin Hongxin's explanation and persuasion, Xia Jingjun put away the White Tiger Token in a cherished manner, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, please rest assured, the interests of the family are more important than one qiē." No matter what achievements the little brother has in the future, he will never forget where his roots are. ”

Lin Hongxin nodded, remembering Xia Jingjun's temper, and reminded: "Brother Jun, the owner of our Lin family's White Tiger Token is equivalent to the deputy city lord in Hongyun City, if you encounter injustice in the city in the future, showing the token can solve a lot of trouble." ”

"Xia Jingjun is naturally upright, jealous and hateful, and often gets into trouble in Hongyun City.

With a reminder, Lin Hongxin changed the topic and said: "In another half a year, the Yanyun Sect will open the mountain to accept disciples again." Our Lin family has a quota for direct delivery of outer disciples without assessment. With Brother Jun's qualifications, he entered the Yanyun Sect and obtained the cultivation of Xuan-level exercises, and I believe that he will soon be able to break through to the fourth layer of the Qi Induction Period and become the inner disciple of the Yanyun Sect. ”

Yanyun Sect accepts apprentices every 5 years, and in addition to the monks in the qi induction period can go to the assessment, it also selects children with spiritual roots and immortal fate from the people as disciples.

The assessment of the outer disciples of the monks in the Qi Induction Period is extremely difficult, and it is difficult to take one out of a hundred.

Since each family will pay a certain amount of elixir, spiritual food, and refining materials to the Yanyun Sect every year, the Yanyun Sect will basically give each family a guaranteed quota.

As for the top five families in Yanzhou, each family has three guaranteed places.

Lin Hongxin mentioned the Xuan-level exercises of Yanyun Sect, Xia Jingjun couldn't help but smile, and said his fate with Yaoguangsan. However, he only said that the Yaoguang Scattered people had passed on to him the ground-level exercises of the Qi Induction Period, but he didn't mention anything else.

Yao Guang Sanren warned him not to show it off, but in front of his own brother, with such a high-level exercise, he had no reason to hide it.

Is this true?" Lin Hongxin was in ecstasy with shock, with the cultivation of top-level exercises, the Lin family would rise in a short period of time!

>> Really!" Xia Jingjun affirmed.

"Okay! God bless my Lin family!" Lin Hongxin knew the great value of the rank of the middle grade, and he was very happy.

&Brother, what I got was only the mid-grade exercises of the ground level cultivated during the Qi Induction Period, and the exercises after breaking through to the Foundation Building Period, but I didn't have them. Xia Jingjun said helplessly.

Don't be too greedy. Lin Hongxin nodded again and again, and asked, "Does anyone still know about this matter?"

Except for the second brother, I didn't mention it to anyone. Xia Jingjun said solemnly.

"Very good!" Lin Hongxin's face was full of joy, and he said with a smile: "Haha! With the mid-grade exercises of the ground level, the Lin family will definitely be able to appear as a senior monk in the foundation building period, and our Lin family will become the number one family in Yanzhou just around the corner! As for the follow-up exercises, after entering the Yanyun Sect, they will naturally be able to obtain them." ”

& A few days of free time, I silently wrote out "Tiangang Decision" and brought it back to the family for my second brother. Xia Jingjun said.

Lin Hongxin shook his head and said in a low voice: "I have something to leave early tomorrow morning, this exercise is related to whether the clan can prosper, and it must not be leaked, you must personally escort the exercise back." When you go back, you have to do what your father wants. ”

"Second brother!" Xia Jingjun said loudly.

>> Now that we're done talking, Steward Lin's banquet should also be arranged, I heard that the spirit wine you brew here is very strong, let's go and have a few drinks. With that, Lin Hongxin pulled Xia Jingjun and walked out.

That night, the brothers got drunk and had a good time.
