"Lingzhen, you are right, the family should indeed pay more attention to the cultivation of the Ling generation."

However, although he agreed with Li Lingzhen's words, Li Huanren still hesitated.

"But if we want to focus on recruiting more clan members, it will conflict with the family's current policy."

"The family has goals that must be accomplished. The Li family must have its own foundation-building monks. Can you understand my difficulties?"

Li Huanren looked into Li Lingzhen's eyes and said with a heavy face.

Even though the Li family has spiritual veins, it is very prosperous.

But spiritual veins are not so easy to use. If you have a spiritual vein, you must have the strength to guard it, otherwise the spiritual vein will be a life-threatening talisman.

There are so many families that have been destroyed in the world of cultivation because of their spiritual veins. As the head of the family, Li Huanren is naturally very worried about this hidden danger.

In fact, Li Lingzhen knew that he would definitely be able to build the foundation, but he couldn't say these words.

After pondering for a moment, Li Lingzhen felt that he needed to give Li Huanren some confidence.

While playing with the pothos next to him, he pretended to be casual and said: "What if I can break through the eighth level of Qi training before the end of the year?"

Although Li Lingzhen asked a question, he was confident.

Li Huanren smiled helplessly when he saw this, and said: "You, you, if you can really break through the eighth level of Qi training before the end of the year, then I will leave it to you to recruit this year's spiritual root seedlings."

"But only this year, such a big matter cannot be decided until a clan meeting."

Li Lingzhen is currently one of the two people with the highest cultivation level in the Li family, and with the bet, Li Huanren felt that he could not refuse it blindly.

"Yeah, but if I go into seclusion, I might postpone the matter until next spring."

He promised to go down the mountain to visit his family during the Chinese New Year, but it might take a while.

"It's all up to you."

Next, the two of them discussed the matter of the spiritual root seedlings.

According to Li Huanren, Ruyun Mountain belongs to the Li family's territory, and all mortals within its scope are also under the rule of the Li family.

The Li family has legal jurisdiction over these mortals.

This is written in the Chongguo Law.

In previous years, the Li family recruited spiritual root seedlings from the village at the foot of Ruyun Mountain, and only the Li family was recruited.

Now that the situation has changed, Li Ling really wants to do more, the better.

But while the more the merrier, the Li family also needs to find ways to support these talents.

Li Lingzhen possesses the Wang family's lapis lazuli, and this wealth is enough to cover the Li family's expenses for several years.

But the problem is that this batch of green gold is not easy to sell.

The Wang family just lost their lapis lazuli, so selling lapis lazuli at this juncture is too disrespectful to the Wang family.

You have to think of other ways.

"Master, how is the family's property?"

If we want to expand the recruitment of Lingzi people, the burden on the Li family will definitely increase, and the family will have to re-plan the industry.

Li Huanren understood what Li Lingzhen meant. He took out a ledger from his storage bag and handed it to Li Lingzhen.

It records the income and expenditure of the Li family in the past three years.

Li Lingzhen looked through it while listening to Li Huanren's introduction.

"Our Li family doesn't have many properties. Our main income comes from the spiritual field. The spiritual field can bring about 400 spiritual stones in revenue to the Li family every year."

According to the account books, the Li family has thirty acres of spiritual fields, and spiritual plants are planted in these spiritual fields basically every year.

But even so, the Li family's annual income from Lingtian is only 400 spiritual stones?

Li Lingzhen felt that it was a little lacking.

Four hundred spiritual stones are a great fortune for a monk in the Qi training period.

Just throwing it into any corner of the world of cultivation may trigger a lifeless battle.

But when it comes to one family, it's not enough.

As if he could tell what Li Lingzhen was thinking, Li Huanren said helplessly: "Don't be too little, four hundred spirit stones are actually not bad."

In the past, when their Li family did not have so many spiritual fields, the number was even bleaker.

Li Lingzhen nodded and continued reading.

The Li family's spiritual field last year planted a kind of grain called Tianxian Rice. Although the name sounds nice, it is actually one of the most common spiritual plants in the world of cultivation.

The reason why I chose to grow heavenly rice is because the peeled heavenly rice has a wide audience in the cultivation world and can be easily sold and eaten by my family members.

Moreover, Tianxian rice has strong vitality, is easy to survive, and has considerable yields.

Plant fairy rice in the spiritual field, and after harvesting the rice in nine months, the spiritual field will still have a few months to repair and restore fertility.

It won’t delay next year’s planting.

This kind of spiritual plant is very suitable for planting by a small family like the Li family.

The Li family has been planting fairy rice for several years and is very familiar with the yield of fairy rice.

In Li Jialing's field, the yield per mu of Tianxian rice can generally be maintained at about 60 kilograms.

Thirty acres of land means an annual output of 3,600 kilograms of spiritual rice.

However, after peeling off the skin and turning it into rice, it only weighs a little over 2,500 kilograms.

Of the two thousand five hundred kilograms of heavenly rice, the Li family will keep most of it for the use of the clan.

Only about one thousand kilograms are actually for sale.

Because of the relationship between the Wang and Li families, Li Jia Ling rice is usually sold to the Wang family.

Last year, the Wang family paid two and a half kilograms of fairy rice for one spiritual stone to buy the Li family's spiritual rice.

What was given to the Li family was about 400 spiritual stones.

“What’s the market price of this kind of heavenly rice?”

"The price of Tianxian rice in the market will be about 20% higher than the price given by the Wang family."

As if he knew what Li Lingzhen was thinking, Li Huanren explained: "Although the Wang family has lowered the price, Tianxian rice is not a scarce commodity. If it is taken to the market, thousands of kilograms of rice will be sold to casual cultivators, and it may not be sold for several months.

It’s time-consuming and labor-intensive.”

"Selling to those big forces is quick, but the prices they charge are harsher than the Wang family."

Li Lingzhen nodded again, indicating that he knew what was going on.

He then looked through the account book and suddenly said "Huh".

"Does our Li family still have specialties?"

"Haha, it's not really a specialty."

Li Huanren touched his beard, then pointed out the window and said: "Your great-grandfather got a batch of spiritual tree seeds from nowhere and scattered them on the mountain behind Feilai Peak. Two hundred years later, these spiritual tree seeds have sprouted and grown.

Big, it turned into a big forest."

"The spiritual tree inside was named Kaoshan Chou by our Li family."

"The backwoods are strong and yet flexible, making them a good material for making gun shafts. The Wang family is good at guns, and they often send people to our Li family to buy backwoods. Later, our two families agreed that the Li family would cut down at least two trees every year.

The backer is thick and handed over to the Wang family to be processed into a gun barrel. The reward given by the Wang family is not low, fifty spiritual stones per tree."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This can be regarded as the fixed income of our Li family."

Apart from these two, the Li family has no other fixed income.

However, every year before the New Year, the Li family would organize manpower to clean up the monsters near Yunshan.

Monster beasts are beasts that know how to spontaneously breathe out spiritual energy, but cannot fully develop spiritual intelligence, such as the two white snakes in the Li family's spiritual vein land.

If you don’t have spiritual wisdom, you won’t know how to practice, and you won’t be able to gather demon power, which poses little threat to monks.

But to mortals, monsters are far more terrifying than ordinary beasts.

Many mortal legends even equate monsters with monsters.

Ruyun Mountain is huge, and there are many monsters there.

In order to prevent monsters from harming people, the monks of the Li family will eliminate them regularly.

The Li family will also sell the materials from the monsters obtained during this period to the market, which can be exchanged for one hundred to two hundred spiritual stones every year.

In addition, the Li family monks occasionally go to the mountains to pick some medicinal materials, keep some in the warehouse, and sell some to earn a certain amount of income.

Together, these incomes can probably make the Li family earn anywhere from 700 to 800 spiritual stones every year.

"How will our Li family's cultivation resources be allocated?"

After having a general understanding of the family's business, Li Lingzhen asked another equally important question.

"For monks in the early stage of Qi refining, each person's annual allowance is one bottle of Qi Gathering Pill, one bottle of Qi Condensing Pill and forty kilograms of spiritual rice."

"For monks in the middle stage of Qi training, double this amount and add half a bottle of Yuan Pei Dan."

"The late-stage qi-training monks have three times the power of the junior qi-training monks. In addition, they also have a whole bottle of Yuan-Pei Dan."

"In addition to these, the Li family will also prepare other cultivation resources and distribute them to the clan members based on contribution or needs."

A very simple distribution method.

Li Lingzhen thought.

If resources are allocated according to the level of cultivation, it will indeed be fair and just, and no one will be dissatisfied.

Then the family's spiritual stones are pooled to purchase more resources and distributed to the head monks in exchange for faster cultivation speed for the head monks.
