"Grandpa, are you listening?"

"Oh, go on."

"Um"

"As for the formation for controlling the earth veins, the original arrangement is sufficient. I don't have anything to modify for it."

…

After hearing the entire report on the transformation results of Chongming Peak, Lu Xuanyuan couldn't stop smiling.

"When Chongming Patriarch hired someone to set up the formation, he spent tens of thousands of spirit stones, not to mention the cost of materials. This time, not only is the formation more powerful than before, it also has more functions."

Lu Xuanping shook his head and said, "The formation master we hired originally laid out the earth vein formation. I didn't make any changes to the earth vein formation, so the effort I spent was actually less than it was back then."

"Don't be modest. Even so, it's still very impressive. After all, a month's workload is probably worth 10,000 spirit stones. If I directly ask those families to sell this service, I'm afraid they will scramble to build this formation."

"This is mainly because we don't have any good formation inheritance in our market. It's only in the Feiyu Sect. After all, the Feiyu Sect is a thousand-year-old sect that has been passed down for many years. It's not like a family. The strongest Lin family has only been passed down for 1,300 years. The family's ability to resist risks is too poor."

"It's not that the family's ability to resist risks is too poor, it's that Feiyu Sect has a Yuanying Zhenren. Think about it, the ancestor Chongming was..." At this time Lu Xuanyuan paused. As a junior, he had no right to comment on the merits and demerits of his ancestors.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Lu Xuanping and said, "Xuanping, do you want to become the patriarch of the Lu family?"

"Clan leader?" Lu Xuanping was stunned for a moment and quickly refused:

"Grandpa, you are joking. I don't intend to become the head of the Lu family."

"I'm not testing you, I'm asking sincerely."

"After the Lu family went through such a disaster, I realized that even if I became a golden elixir, it would not be of any help to the family situation. On the contrary, you are so powerful that you not only avenged the family and killed the demon golden elixir, but also repaired the formation for the family."

"Now you are the most powerful person in the family. If you don't want to be the clan leader, who will?"

"Grandpa, there's no need to do this. My heart is not here, and I don't have that much time to manage the family."

Hearing what Lu Xuanping said, Lu Xuanyuan laughed and said, "What's the problem with managing the family? Didn't I manage the family before? Just let everyone listen to your words. Besides, if you need anything, you can let the family support you."

"Have you forgotten the Lin family? They spent so much effort to find treasures for their ancestor to achieve Nascent Soul breakthrough. You can do the same."

Lu Xuanping fell silent after hearing this. "Even so, I can still contribute to the family even if I am not the clan leader?"

"If the name is not right, then the words will not flow!"

"Xuan Ping, you are not the clan leader, so how can you convince everyone?"

"Now the family is divided into three factions: the original family faction, the new Foundation Establishment faction after your promotion, and Lu Hai and Chen Yi. I am really a little tired, and I can't say anything to them. After all, they also have their own thoughts and they also have their own wishes."

"Although Chen Yi and the others are the weakest, they made great efforts to help me break through the Jindan stage. I can't say anything because I owe it to the family. The family has to live frugally because of me."

"But you are different."

"You secured a large sum of funds for the family in the Four Lakes Secret Realm, and you also operated the Alchemy Workshop to provide a large amount of spirit stones for the family. The blood essence cultivated three foundation-building cultivators. Together with Lu Wu and Lu Di, you now have five foundation-building cultivators behind you, accounting for half of the family."

"If you are not the patriarch at this time, your family will be in a lot of trouble in the future."

"But it will be different if you become the clan leader. Everyone in the clan will obey you, and you can bring a large amount of spirit stones to the clan. No matter what you do, the clan will agree."

Great-grandfather’s words left Lu Xuanping silent.

In fact, Lu Xuanyuan's meaning was very simple. He had no other strengths except that he was at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Now was the time when the Whirlpool Sea was undergoing great changes. Many Golden Cores had fallen, leaving a large amount of land vacant. This was the best time for the Lu family to expand. However, as the head of the Lu family, his strength was only that of an ordinary early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Moreover, after he exposed his magic weapon, he could not refine it again for decades.

Moreover, if he wanted to refine a magic weapon, it would cost a large amount of spirit stones. Where did he get so much money? How could a weak golden elixir fight for resources for the Lu family in this world of immortal cultivation where the strong prey on the weak?

But Lu Xuanping is different. Although he is an early Jindan cultivator, he has extremely strong combat power and is proficient in formations and alchemy. Either of these can bring a large amount of spirit stone income to the family.

When going out to fight for resources and territory, family members revealed each other's backstage information. How could the Lu family deter the enemy by revealing only one person in the early Jindan stage? But if he revealed that the patriarch was Lu Xuanping, who was in the late Jindan stage with a sword, then it would be different. Others would be at a disadvantage. This was the influence of the patriarch on the family. Although the early Jindan stage was good, it was not enough. Lu Xuanyuan hoped that the family could be better.

Lu Xuanping is more capable of leading the family to become stronger, so it is only right for him to step down and let others take over.

"You don't have to consider my face. The clan leader before me also gave up his position to me a long time ago. This is how the family prospered step by step. Besides, I am just passing the blame to you."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"The family is poor now. Although the crisis is over, it will cost a lot of spirit stones to rebuild."

“And that day, many of our clan’s cultivators were killed or injured. Although the foundation-building cultivators were not injured, many of the Qi-cultivating clan members suffered losses. All of them need compensation, which is another huge expense of spirit stones.”

"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

Lu Xuanping was thinking on the side, and Lu Xuanyuan was not in a hurry. Finally, Lu Xuanping said, "I understand, great grandfather, I am willing to accept the identity of the clan leader, but I will not be in charge of things normally."

Hearing Lu Xuanping's agreement, Lu Xuanyuan immediately laughed, "Don't worry about this. If you have any problems, just leave them to me. You just need to say hello when you go out."

"Okay, in that case I am willing to take on the responsibility of being the head of the Lu family."

"Okay, wait until this formation is activated and call everyone back. I will announce this matter in public."

Afterwards Lu Xuanping went back to rest. He had a temporary residence.

The reason why he agreed to the clan leader was that he had never thought about what kind of help the family could provide, but mainly to help the family.

In fact, it is very simple. The family has no money, and the great-grandfather is embarrassed to ask Lu Xuanping for it. Of course, he can actually use the resources of other family members to use the money to fix the gap in the family.

But in fact, there is a better way. That is to let Lu Xuanping come to pay, but Lu Xuanping has actually given a lot of support to the family time and time again. Now we have to go to him to get it again. The family is based on blood ties, and it is not such a good thing that you can't just give it. The relationship will fade if you use it too much.

So Lu Xuanyuan decided to let the Lu family carry out Lu Xuanping's will.

This time, he and the Lu family would rise and fall together. In this case, he also had an excuse to ask Lu Xuanping for money.

Lu Xuanping knew his grandfather's difficulties. If they wanted money, then they had it. He had no shortage of spirit stones. It was just right that he could order them to do some things to free up time for himself to practice.
