Chapter 12 Improvement of the Treatment of the Clan

On the evening of the fourth day of September, Li Jinzhai was resting in the fishing ground. His nephew Li Qingming rushed over with a smile on his face and called Li Jinzhai Huidi, saying that Li Qingxiao had important things.

“What else is more important than a fishing ground?”

Hearing the third uncle's words, Li Qingming just rushed to the road and replied with a little excited tone: "I don't know either, but I heard from the second uncle that it is a good thing, and everyone's supply of spiritual rice may be increased."

The two arrived at the Li family's ancestral house at the same time and found that almost all the children in the clan had arrived. The ancestor Li Yaowen was sitting in the second seat in the hall, and Li Qingxiao was sitting in the main seat, smiling at them who had arrived at the end.

The second uncle and the great-grandfather had just arrived home, so he asked the second uncle to inform all the Qi-training monks in the clan that all gathered here.

Uncle Er told him all about this experience. Although Li Qingxiao had expected the difficulties he might encounter, he still surprised him a lot by disturbing the two foundation-building ancestors of Zhang. Fortunately, his great-grandfather Li Yaowen had good methods, which not only saved the danger, but also doubled the price of selling spirit fish.

This trip, at seven times the price, the total value of the spirit fish brought out by Li Jincheng is 1,260 spirit stones, but in fact, Li Jincheng did not bring back a single spirit stone.

The task Li Qingxiao gave Li Jincheng this time is not only about trading with Zhang, but also purchasing Lingmi.

A total of 20 kilograms of five elements spiritual rice and 860 kilograms of ordinary spiritual rice were purchased. Yes, they were all replaced with basic spiritual rice.

Li Qingxiao believes that spiritual rice is the basic material of the monk family, especially for the Qi training cultivators. In addition to the effectiveness of the innate spiritual roots, the efficiency of Qi training depends on the supply of spiritual rice.

Of course, it is not just Lingmi, but there are many other spiritual materials. However, the current financial situation of Li can only give priority to solving the Lingmi problem.

All the monks of the family in the clan were here, with a total of 13 monks, including the second aunt Yu family, the third aunt Tong family, and the fourth aunt Chen family. The three of them have been married to the Li family for many years, and of course they are also considered monks of the family.

Li Qingxiao did not speak first, but gently touched the ring brought back by Li Jincheng. Then he waved his left hand and immediately three jade boxes appeared in the middle of the ancestral house, two large and one small.

Spirit rice is different from ordinary rice. It must be stored in jade vessels after harvesting. Everyone is familiar with the utensils for the storage of spiritual rice. However, the first time I saw such a large box, I suddenly felt a little heavy breathing.

Li Qingxiao showed his eyes and Li Jincheng immediately stepped forward and opened three boxes respectively.

The two large boxes, the spiritual rice contained in them emitted a bright white light, and the unique fragrance of the spiritual rice instantly rushed into the noses of everyone. However, the last small box contained a crystal clear and transparent spirit rice like a transparent water drop, which was the water spirit rice among the Five Elements Spirit Rice.

The second uncle's wife, Yu, was originally from the monk family of Chenqiao Town around Heigu City. She was much more glorious than the Li family, but she had never seen so many spiritual rice at once.

Li Qingxiao's move directly made the breathing of all the monks of Li's family heavier.

"These spiritual rice are exchanged for the spirit fish we harvested in Baimingdu for more than half a month. Thanks to the fourth uncle collecting saltpeter, the third uncle took everyone to fish, the great-grandfather's waterproof beads, and the second uncle worked hard to travel to the Black Valley City and almost encountered danger. As well as the cousins, the dock worked hard for more than half a month, you all have worked hard!"

While saying these words, Li Qingxiao stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.

"If this is the case, Qingxiao, Uncle Fourth is just running errands. If you don't have your idea, Uncle Fourth can't do anything!"

"Qingxiao, this is too much. If you hadn't bought the Red Flame Spider Web in Heigu City and Grandpa's waterproof beads, how could the Second Uncle catch so many spirit fish? Besides, you have come up with the ice cubes. If you have the credit, you will be the biggest one. Second Uncle, I got the Red Flame Spider Web and took a big advantage. Don't let me get the Second Uncle."

"Second, I'm just a part of Li's words, so it's time to fish."

"Second brother, we don't work hard. Haha, fishing is quite fun. You can learn things from your second uncle!"

…………

Whether it is the sixth generation of the same generation or the three uncles of the Jin generation, they all said that the credit was not their own, but it all came to Li Qingxiao.

Li Yaowen's heart was slightly shaken when he looked at this scene.

Previously, the Li family had a total of four patriarchs, his father Li Caisheng, himself, his son Li Zhiyi, and his grandson Li Jinhua.

But this scene has never happened before. Looking back carefully, Li Qingxiao has gathered the family step by step since he became the patriarch.

The fourth brother arranged for the fourth brother to hoard saltpeter and took the second brother to Heigu City to negotiate with Zhang. He bought the third brother the top-grade magic weapon Red Flame Spider Web. Even the six generations of Li's children were all pulled by him to Baiming Ferry to catch fish together.

Although everyone complained a little during the process, when thousands of kilograms of spiritual rice appeared in front of everyone's faces, a smile from the bottom of their hearts appeared on everyone's faces.

As Li Qingxiao said, all the spiritual rice in front of him are all their contributions.

The sense of accomplishment of gaining profits after working has not only condensed the hearts of the tribe members, but also made his identity as the patriarch more and more recognized.

Seeing Li Qingxiao having a somewhat similar face to him, Li Yaowen showed a gratified smile in front of these descendants for the first time.

"Hehe, second brother, there are so many spiritual rice in the warehouse. You can add a little of the spiritual rice share every month! Add one pound every month!"

"Qinghan, if you talk nonsense, I will slap you. Now that you are a little richer, you want to increase your share. These spiritual rice is enough for me, Li's family for several years. Qingxiao, don't listen to this little bastard's nonsense."

The younger Li Qinghan is quite brave and was just going to make a joke. Unexpectedly, his father Li Jincheng immediately scolded him, and immediately shrank his neck, so embarrassed that he didn't dare to speak.

However, Li Qingxiao didn't care. It would be abnormal if no one in a family dared to speak. Li Qinghan's reckless nature can actually enhance the vitality of the family.

"Qinghan said it well. When I bought Lingmi, I naturally provided it for everyone to practice. I would like to add one pound every month......"

Li Qingxiao suddenly stopped for a moment and did not continue to say anything. As a result, everyone's hearts became hung up. Even Li Jincheng, who scolded his son, could not help but start to beating.

The supply of spiritual rice can increase their cultivation speed. For cultivators, isn’t the most important thing to practice?

Now, everyone held their breath and stared at Li Qingxiao, waiting for his article. Even the ancestor Li Yaowen looked at him with interest, wanting to see how he would allocate.

"It's so petty! Each person has a pound a day..."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone was stunned. Even the ancestor Li Yaowen didn't react and they all stared at Li Qingxiao without saying a word.

Finally, Li Jinhu was the first to speak out and stuttered, "Qingxiao, have you said it wrong, or did I hear it wrong, each person has a pound of spiritual rice every day?"

This is not only what he wants to ask, but also what everyone else wants to ask.

What does it mean to have a pound of spiritual rice per person per day? It is impossible for Zhang, who has a relative in-laws in Heigu City, to have this supply.

Although Zhang's family has made a lot of profits, they have to support nearly a hundred Qi-cultivation clan members, and two Foundation-building ancestors.

Who would have thought that Li Qingxiao did not hesitate at all and turned the railway line: "I heard that right, it's just one pound per person a day."

"No!"

"no!"

The second and third uncles spoke in unison. Li Jincheng was the person in charge of Li's procurement of resources outside the family, and immediately opposed Li Qingxiao's words. Although Li Jinzhai had a lot of harvest in Baimingdu these days, he immediately realized that it was the fishing season. The daily harvest was indeed enough for the consumption of the thirteen monks in the tribe. But what about the fishing season?

Can it be maintained in the end? You should know that it is important to increase the treatment, but if you are unable to support such treatment in the end, the family will face serious consequences.

The Li family was originally not just a few monks in their own family. When Li Yaowen was the leader of the clan in his early years, there were nearly 30 monks in the Li family. But in the end, due to the insufficient supply of resources in the clan and the salary was reduced again and again, many monks worshiping outside the family chose to leave.

The two made up their minds and asked Li Qingxiao to take back the decision no matter what.

"Second uncle and third uncle, I know your concerns, but now I am the only monks in my family are left. Let's take a step back and say that even if the treatment is not up to par with the fishing season, is there anyone else who wants to leave this clan?

Furthermore, I, Li, now only have the foundation-building stage, and the other fourth uncles are only at the sixth level of Qi cultivation. What's the use of saving these spirit stones? It's better to provide them to the monks in the clan to improve everyone's cultivation as soon as possible."

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

Li Qingxiao said it right. At the moment, the only family of Li is left, and he is not afraid of leaving.

Moreover, the latter sentence implicitly shows a more cruel fact. The ancestor Li Yaowen is already 273 years old, and his life span of three hundred years is very similar. If Li could not produce another foundation-building monk during this period, he would not let them go, not to mention anything else.

Seeing everyone silent, Li Qingxiao continued, "What's more, please believe me. The little spiritual rice in front of me is just the first step in the rise of my Li family. I have a plan in my mind. If it can be done, even if it is not the fishing season, I, Li family, can earn a steady stream of spiritual stones."

Everyone was still silent, obviously thinking it was impossible, and they were even guessing whether Li Qingxiao had other deeper intentions.

Li Qingxiao was a little helpless. The poor man made him live a life of a sudden, but he was not happy.

"Okay, Qingxiao is the fifth patriarch of my Li family. All decisions do not need to be asked about you. They are just notifications. Just follow what Qingxiao said and there is no need to discuss them."

The first person to figure out the key was indeed Li Yaowen. Seeing Li Qingxiao in a dilemma, he spoke decisively, took out the position of patriarch, and cut off everyone's concerns.

Li Qingxiao's mind was also calmed down. With Li Yaowen's decision, everyone could only accept it even if they didn't accept it. But seeing that everyone was still confused, they were afraid that everyone would have a psychological burden, so they could only express their condolences again.

"You don't have to worry. A few days ago, when my father and two grandfathers passed away, Qingxiao thought a lot. Even if he struggled to maintain this, as long as his grandfather passed away, my Li family would eventually decline. It would be better to try hard. If a great monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage can be produced again, Li family can last for another two hundred years.

Therefore, the tribesmen practice hard and work hard to improve their realm, so that they can live up to the spiritual rice provided by these families."

After saying this, the tribe members could indeed accept a lot, especially those young people of the Qing generation, who were all a little excited by Li Qingxiao's words.

"Don't worry, patriarch, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and strive to be the first to build the foundation." Li Qingjie said this. He has always regarded Li Qingxiao as his opponent and also has his own passion for the family.

"Class leader, my Li Jinzhai's cultivation qualifications are not as good as you, but when it comes to catching spirit fish, he is definitely a good player. If the clan leader says, "Second uncle, I will definitely catch more spirit fish and earn more spirit stones for the family."

"Clan leader, Qinghan must work hard to practice."

…………

The two generations of the Li family made their statements one after another, but this time, their names all changed from "Second Brother" or "Qingxiao" to "Clan leader".

Although this change is subtle, it shows Li Qingxiao's identity as the patriarch. It was indeed accepted by the clan members for the first time. Li Yaowen, who was beside him, had a smile on his face, holding the twenty kilograms of water-spirited rice that Li Qingxiao had just handed him. Although it was not very precious in his eyes, it made him shake off the heavy weight in his heart for the first time and became relaxed.

I don’t seem to be so worried about my upcoming life expectancy in a few years.
