Chapter 799 Family Change
In the past five years, due to the relatively stable environment in the Lingnan Cultivation World and the large amount of cultivation resources obtained by opening up the outer seas, the development of the entire Shen family has also ushered in a take-off.
First of all, after decades of vigorous development of the mortal population by the family, more than a hundred cities of various sizes have been established at the foot of Yunbi Peak and the fertile fields extending to Zhenze Lake. There are also a large number of villages around the city.
Therefore, the number of mortals recorded by Yun Bifeng alone is now more than two million, not including many refugees who have not been registered.
Although it is said that the development of mortals in the secular world in the past few decades has not been smooth sailing. First, there was the invasion of the Promise Sect, and then there was the attack of the shipwreck, which caused many mortals to fall.
But relatively speaking, the lives of these mortals from the Shen family under the Shen family's rule were fairly stable, and everyone could live and live in peace in the fertile land.
Of course, the more than two million secular mortals in the Shen family are not necessarily the blood descendants of the ancestors of the Shen family.
Some of them were descendants of the bloodline passed down by the cultivators of the Shen family in the past dynasties, and the rest were the homeless secular refugees who had been collected by the Shen family for decades.
But these are no longer important. After all, the Shen family has been passed down for more than 400 years since the ancestor Shen Yucang founded the family.
These mortals of the Shen family who live in the secular world have long since passed through many generations, and during this period, they have gone through many weddings, funerals, and marriages, and their bloodlines have long been mottled.
Therefore, the Shen family has never paid attention to the purity of the blood of these secular mortals. As long as they have spiritual roots and enter the family tree, they are considered to be true members of the Shen family.
And as the number of secular mortals under the rule of the Shen family grew more and more over the years, more and more people with spiritual roots appeared every year.
More than 60 years ago, the Shen family would only arrange a spirit-testing meeting every two to three years, and there were often only two or three people who could be screened out each time with spiritual roots.
Today, the Shen family must arrange a spirit testing meeting every year, which lasted several months to test all the children of the appropriate age in the territory.
Although the probability of birth of children with spiritual roots among mortals is poor, when the overall mortal base expands, there will be more people with spiritual roots.
Now every year at the spirit testing conference, the Shen family can screen out more than ten children with spiritual roots, which greatly increases the number of cultivators in the Yun Bifeng family.
Today, the number of cultivators in Yun Bifeng's family has reached more than 400 people, although some of them are only children who are still studying in the school.
In addition, as the strength of the family grows today, more and more inheritance and resources are obtained, and the cultivation environment of the clansmen is much better than decades ago.
Therefore, the cultivation of Yunbifeng's Yongzi generation and Xizi generation has become much easier. Compared with the hard-working Huanzi generation, Jingzi generation, and some Ruizi generation, the former has broken through to the late stage of Qi training and even practiced. The time spent on the ninth level of Qi has become less.
This also makes in the short five years, the Shen family has added four more foundation-building cultivators, among them not only the clan of the four spiritual roots, but also the relatives who joined the family in the early years.
In addition, there is another person who is actually a member of the Wang family who integrated into the Shen family back then.
Back then, when the Wang family was brutally exterminated by Qingyunmen, only twenty women and children escaped safely, and then they were hidden in Yunbi Peak after several bumps.
Although there were only twenty people who escaped from the Wang family, most of the children were elite disciples of the Wang family with good spiritual aptitude.
Previously, due to the need to constantly escape the pursuit of Qingyunmen and the lack of cultivation resources, these children were slow to cultivate.
Now in this Yunbi Peak, with a stable cultivation environment and abundant resources, the cultivation speed of these Wang Family disciples immediately caught up.
Speaking of the members of the Wang family, it has been almost ten years since they came to Yunbi Peak. During these ten years, they have been living peacefully in Lingfeng, which was arranged for them by the Shen family.
Among them, the younger children entered the school with the Shen family's children to study, and some female nuns and older male nuns took up the tasks of Shan Gongtang to earn the resources needed for their cultivation.
Although some adults of the Wang family, including Wang Ziying, still had resistance in their hearts, as the rest of the young clansmen and the cultivators of the Shen family became closer and closer, this kind of mutual integration could not be prevented at all.
Unless the monks of the Wang family just stay on the top of the mountain and don't have contact with the Shen family, they will definitely integrate into the big family of the Shen family.
However, it was obviously impossible for the Wang family to set up their own business, and they didn't dare to step down from Yunbi Peak and enter the Lingnan Cultivation Realm.
Therefore, if they want to survive and cultivate, they must have contact with the cultivators of the Shen family, and after connecting, they can easily integrate into the Shen family.
Of course, in addition to letting the people of the Wang family integrate naturally, the top management of the Shen family is also artificially promoting this process of integration.
Just like this time, the reason why this cultivator of the Wang family was able to successfully establish the foundation was that the Shen family provided him with the most crucial factor.
As a quid pro quo, he married a female cultivator of the Shen family before the foundation was established. This pill was like a dowry given by the Shen family.
With the relationship of this Wang family cultivator, the relationship between the Shen family and the Wang family will be closer, and the next integration process will be smoother.
It is conceivable that in just another ten or twenty years, those monks of the Wang family who have grown up with the monks of the Shen family will obviously be more willing to integrate into the big family of the Shen family.
Closer to home, in the past ten years, in addition to the overall strength of the Linhai Shen Clan, the family structure has gradually taken on what the Jindan Clan should have.
Today's Yun Bifeng not only has the patriarch Shen Huanchi, a real Jin Dan, but also the number of cultivators in the foundation-building stage has reached as many as twenty-three.
Among them, there are thirteen foundation-building cultivators from the Shen family, five cultivators from foreign relatives, and the other five are Elder Ke Qing.
With the increase in the number of foundation-building cultivators in the family, the position of elders in the clan has also been upgraded from the original condition of being able to hold the ninth level of Qi training to must be performed by foundation-building cultivators.
In addition, the hall entrances such as Shangongtang and Shuwutang must also have a foundation-building cultivator as the top manager, and several qi-cultivating monks on the ninth floor to assist.
After all, for the Foundation Establishment cultivator, cultivation is the most important thing, and those simple and trivial matters can be handed over to the Qi cultivator.
In addition, today's Yunbi Peak not only has hall entrances such as Shangong Hall and Shuwu Hall, but also several new hall entrances with different functions have been added in recent years.
First of all, there are the alchemy hall and the alchemy hall, both of which were rebuilt from the alchemy workshop of the family's previous alchemy building.
The entrances of these two halls were built on the top of the Spirit Fire Peak with abundant ground fire.
Since these two halls have existed in the family before, and now they are only expanded and relocated, the construction is not too difficult.
In addition to these two traditional halls, the family has also added several new halls, including Yu Beast Hall, Shennong Hall, and Battle Hall.
The Imperial Beast Hall, as the name suggests, is a place where spiritual beasts are kept and domesticated for the family.
The former is not only the aptitude of Shuimu Shuanglinggen, but also has the ability to be transparent with the animal heart, which is rare in the Lingnan Xiuxian world.
It can be said that her overall aptitude is also excellent.
However, due to Shen Yongqi's ability to be transparent with a beast's heart, her cultivation method is also very different from that of an ordinary monk, and her cultivation is closely related to that of her natal beast.
It can be said that the ultimate potential of the natal beast is likely to be the peak of her cultivation.
For a long time, Shen Ruiling was worried that Shen Yongqi's natal spirit beast who freely recognized the master, that is, the blue eagle, would restrict the latter's cultivation path.
However, after Shen Huanchi's investigation, he found that this blue eagle actually inherited a ray of Qingluan's blood.
As long as Shen Yongqi keeps purifying the Qingluan bloodline in that blue eagle in the future, the acquired plasticity of her natal beast will still be relatively strong.
Having said that, Shen Yongqi not only has the ability to understand the beast's heart, but also learns all the ways to control the beasts collected by the Shen family.
Therefore, under her leadership, the Shen family's Imperial Beast Hall, although the construction time is relatively short, the results are very amazing.
Today, the Shen family not only has a group of second-tier riding tools used as qi training cultivators, but also has domesticated a few, which can better open up the sea.
In addition to the Imperial Beast Hall, Shennong Hall is the cultivation place for the family's spiritual plant husband, specializing in serving the spiritual medicines in the family's various medicine gardens, as well as cultivating better varieties of Linggu.
As for the battle hall, it is a place dedicated to training the clansmen's fighting skills. The clansmen who enter the battle hall have to go through difficult tests again and again.
This time, the family followed Qingyunmen to explore the outer seas, and most of the qi cultivators came out of the battle hall.
Compared with ordinary clansmen, they have richer fighting skills, so they can more easily survive in the dangerous outer seas.
