Chapter 33: Family Inventory
In Fangmu Mountain, the sun rises early in the sky, indicating that late spring is coming to an end and early summer is coming.
The slightly spicy sunshine burned away a lot of the clouds and fog surrounding the mountain, making the entire Fangmu Mountain look even more beautiful.
The spiritual peaches on the mountainside are also exuding a rich spiritual light at this moment, crystal clear and full of spiritual energy.
At this time, the mountain was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and people were coming and going, which was far more lively than usual.
It was the Lin family's annual year-end review day.
On this day, all the monks of the Lin family would rush back to the family no matter how far away they were and how busy they were, unless they really couldn't get away.
Because this moment is not only the family's glory, but also their glory. It is also the family's recognition and affirmation of them in the past three years.
Lin Shiming was also in the meeting hall, and the time had not yet come.
Lin Shiming also saw many figures he had not seen for a long time, including the thirteenth uncle Lin Houwei who took a sip from the wine bottle from time to time, the serious second uncle Lin Houwei who always acted like an elder, and the third sister who kept shouting that she had a secret. Lin Shiqi, as well as the eldest brother Lin Shijie, who has always been the number one person in his generation with status and responsibility, and Lin Shiyi and Lin Shimo.
Lin Shiming stepped forward to greet them one by one and talk about old times.
At this moment, a weak voice sounded.
"Brother Qi, long time... no see!" Lin Shimo listened to this weak voice, and his memory inexplicably returned to that rainy night, when the peach blossoms bloomed slightly.
The girl timidly knocked on the door and called out to the Immortal Master, "Drink tea."
A scene from the past, just like yesterday.
Lin Shiming turned his head and saw that the thin and bloodless little girl was no longer weak, but had turned into a little girl wearing a green skirt.
Her complexion has improved a lot, and her facial features have become very refined. She looks like a perfect beauty, which is completely different from before.
A bit taller.
In addition, his cultivation level has also improved. I haven’t seen him for two months, and he is already at the fourth level of innate cultivation. The talent of the second spirit root is really terrifying!
You must know that it took Lin Shiming half a year to reach the fourth level of Xiantian.
However, unlike before, I was still easily shy and would only timidly call Qi Ge.
"Shi Tao, that's right, you practice very seriously!" Lin Shiming couldn't help but praise. He still felt a sense of accomplishment for this little girl he brought here. Of course, other than that, there was no other meaning.
On the other hand, Lin Shiqi walked over immediately.
"Lao Qi, Shi Tao's face turned red when you bullied him!" came Lin Shiqi's meaningful words.
Lin Shitao's face turned even redder. She casually said that she wanted to visit other elders and hurried to the crowd of Shi Zhong Shi'an.
Lin Shiming couldn't help but grimace and let out a long sigh. He admitted that he was afraid of this third sister.
"Third sister, the year-end meeting will start soon." Lin Shiming made an excuse to fool her.
At this moment, Lin Houyuan stepped onto the stage, and Lin Xianzhi, the old patriarch of the Lin family, who was sitting in the main seat, began to announce the beginning of the year-end summary.
"Hou Yuan, let's start the summary meeting. You first report on the family members."
Lin Houyuan straightened his clothes and spoke loudly:
"Uncle Seventh, in the new year, the cultivation levels of the Lin family monks are as follows: one monk in the foundation stage, seven monks in the ninth level of Qi training, and the new ninth-level Qi training elder is Lin Houyong, the boss of the later generation, who broke through after the battle in Peach Blossom Valley. There are twenty people in the late stage of Qi training, three newly promoted in the late stage of Qi training, including the later generation Lin Houfu, Shi Zi generation Lin Shiyi and Lin Shimo, forty-two people in the middle stage of Qi training, nine new monks in the middle stage, and three in the early stage of Qi training. Ten people, twelve innate monks!”
"Currently, the family's most promising candidates for breaking through the foundation are Lin Houyuan and Lin Houyong, who are the ones to focus on."
"Senior generation, Lin Shijie, Lin Shitao with two spiritual roots, and Lin Shiming with three spiritual roots have become registered disciples of Qingxuan Sect and have made great contributions to the family. They are both included as key support targets."
After Lin Houyuan announced the completion of the membership, the great elder began to announce the family's assets.
"Uncle Seventh, in the new year, the finances are as follows. The Lin family's treasury has a total of 26,542 spirit stones. In addition, the Lin family's annual income is as follows. The Qinglian Pond has expanded due to the increase in spiritual veins. The spiritual water can produce 2,000 spiritual stones every year, which is higher than in previous years. There are 500 more spiritual stones, and there are 140 spiritual fruit trees such as spiritual peach trees, with an average of 4,000 spiritual stones per year, 3,000 more spiritual stones than before. Xingxianfang City’s income is 1,000 spiritual stones, no increase, and the caravan’s income is 2,000 spiritual stones, no increase. Added, the estimated annual income from the demon hunting team is 2,000 spirit stones, excluding the members of the demon hunting team, and three new locations in Qingxuanfang City are added, with an estimated income of 4,000 spirit stones!"
"The cumulative annual income is 15,000 spirit stones, which is an increase of 7,500 spirit stones compared to the past. It is gratifying. In addition, the expenditure is as follows. The salary is ten spirit stones per year in the early stage of Qi refining, twenty RMB per year for monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, and 20 RMB per year for monks in the late stage of Qi refining. Fifty yuan, the basic salary of the ninth-level Qi Refining elder is 100 yuan per year, and the basic salary of the foundation monk is 500 yuan per year. It is estimated that the required spiritual stones are 3,300 spiritual stones. In addition, the family’s additional salary for each position is estimated to be 2,000 spiritual stones. Stones, daily formations, spiritual plants, etc. consume 1,000 spiritual stones, a total of 6,300 spiritual stones are consumed, and the cumulative surplus is 8,700 spiritual stones!”
After Lin Yuqing finished speaking, his face was filled with joy. This year's income was 7,500 more spirit stones than in previous years. The Lin family no longer needed to send out a large number of members of the demon hunting team to adventure in the Qingyun Mountains for a few spirit stones.
Moreover, the Lin family is more confident about the trip to build the Foundation Pill in three years.
As long as there are more and more foundation-building monks, the family can occupy more territory and cultivate more outstanding heroes.
After Lin Yuqing finished speaking, Lin Yuqi introduced the family's alchemists. Currently, there is only one second-grade upper-grade alchemist, Lin Yuqi. There are two second-grade middle-grade alchemists, both of whom are Hou-generation cultivators. There are also three second-grade lower-grade alchemists. Compared with the past, there is no increase. The art of alchemy requires a lot of time and cannot be improved in a short time.
The Lin family's refining of weapons, talismans, formations, and spiritual plants is also roughly the same, with basically no changes, except for Lin Shiqi, who broke through from a second-grade lower-grade spiritual plant master to a second-grade middle-grade spiritual plant master.
Everyone was surprised.
As the treasure pavilion guard, Lin Houshou was about to break through to a second-grade upper-grade formation master, but he was still a little short.
After everyone reported, everyone in the Lin family was very happy. Compared with the past, there were too many changes this year.
The old patriarch recovered, the family had a foundation-building cultivator, the family finances improved, and there were more geniuses.
At this time, seeing that everyone had finished reporting, Lin Xianzhi continued to speak:
"Yu Qing, let me add a few words!"
"First, from now on, the green lotus produced in the Green Lotus Pond will also be included in the family's income. Even if I don't use it for healing, I can get an extra 1,000 spirit stones every year!" As soon as this was said, everyone in the Lin family began to be shocked.
The Lin family's economic situation has been very good in recent years, and the green lotus spirit plants in the Lin family spirit pond are also supplied to the old patriarch. Of course, in the eyes of everyone in the Lin family, as the strongest fighting force, the old patriarch should also enjoy the spirit plants to improve his cultivation and heal his injuries.
Lin Yuqing and others began to persuade that only if Lin Xianzhi is stronger, the Lin family will have more say.
However, Lin Xianzhi stared at them and rejected them.
"Second, once the family's monkey wine is brewed, it can at least double the income from the peaches, and increase the income by an additional 2,000 spirit stones! Of course, the income from this has been promised to Shiming before, so the Lin family will give Lin Shiming 500 spirit stones every year, and the rest will be used to buy foundation-building pills for him after Shiming reaches the ninth level of Qi training!"
If the previous words were slightly shocking, the current words were like thunder, hitting everyone's heart.
The family buys foundation-building pills for Lin Shiming!
You should know that the competition for a foundation-building pill is at least 80,000 spirit stones, and often the auction competition is hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, which is generally not a small amount for the Lin family.
"Silence!" Lin Xianzhi said again.
The noisy voices on the scene were shaken down by this voice and completely quieted down.
"Finally, I announce that from today onwards, everyone's basic salary will be doubled! In addition, for the people to be supported, the Shi generation will receive 300 spiritual stones per year, and the Houyuan and Houyong generations will receive an additional 500 spiritual stones per year."
As soon as these words came out, all the Lin family members began to cheer. Sufficient spiritual stone support means that they will go further! It means that their descendants will go further.
