There were more than 300 people attending the Xue family's clan meeting. It was like a market, with a lot of people and a lot of excitement.
Many young people have heard the news from their elders that the fairy lady from the Three Immortals Sect will come to Yinliu City in two days to start a preaching ceremony. This is their chance to join the Three Immortals Sect.
The Xue family has cultivators, but it is not a family of cultivators after all, and the resources for cultivation are limited. If one can join an orthodox sect of cultivators, there will be enough resources for cultivation, which is definitely much better than staying in the family.
Every member of the Xue family was eager to try, looking forward to it, and unwilling to miss this opportunity.
There was a high platform in the square, on which the elders of the Xue family sat one by one, and below the platform were the younger generations of the Xue family, standing facing the platform in order of seniority from nearest to farthest.
"Everyone below the stage is the hope for the future of my Xue family." On the high platform, a white-haired man sighed. He was in high spirits, with clear eyes. He was the head of the Xue family, the person with the highest cultivation level except for Deacon Hong.
"This Fairy Lady Dharma Assembly is an opportunity for our Xue family to rise again. There are also some young men with good qualifications, but due to insufficient family resources, their cultivation has been difficult to advance. If they can be chosen by the Fairy Lady, the status of our Xue family will surely rise."
An elder of the clan laughed and was full of hope for the future of the clan.
"That's right. Although our Xue family is able to dominate Silver Willow City, it's ultimately because we have several cultivators in our family. However, compared to the cultivation families in other cities, we are far inferior."
"If we can take this opportunity to send our clansmen to the Three Immortals Sect for training, the future of our Xue family will be promising. We will surely grow into a great cultivation clan, and it is not impossible for us to conquer the Jingwu Kingdom a hundred years from now."
Several elders of the clan were talking animatedly, their spirits high. The arrival of the fairy lady from the Three Immortal Sect gave them great hope, a hope that could lead the clan to rise again and compete for the throne of Jingwu Kingdom.
The head of the Xue family couldn't stop laughing.
The Xue family had experienced many ups and downs in the past. The reason why they were able to grow into the top family today was precisely because a genius in cultivating immortals appeared in the family.
At that time, all the resources of the entire clan were used to allow that genius to rapidly improve his cultivation. For this reason, the head of the Xue family was even reluctant to use up the resources himself and gave them all to that genius.
That genius lived up to everyone's expectations and led the Xue family to wipe out the five major families in Yinliu City. Even though there were cultivators in these five families, they still could not escape the fate of being destroyed.
The only regret is that the genius gave up his own hope of living in order to save the life of a deacon from another family during a crisis. This incident has always made the head of the Xue family very sad.
With the death of that genius, the overall strength of the Xue family was greatly reduced.
It has been recuperating over the years.
The head of the Xue family then concentrated all the family's cultivation resources on himself, and his cultivation level leaped forward, reaching the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
"Alas, foolish child, for the sake of outsiders, he actually disregarded his own life and death, and even disregarded the family's interests. He is so stupid." The head of the Xue family was both heartbroken and helpless.
He seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and scanned the younger generation below the stage. His graying eyebrows furrowed slightly as he shouted, "Why hasn't Xue Kong arrived yet?"
"Xue Kong?"
Upon hearing this, all the elders looked in the direction of the third generation of the clan, but did not see Xue Kong.
However, they don't care.
An elder said nonchalantly, "Xue Kong has mediocre talent, no spiritual roots, and is unable to cultivate. It doesn't matter if he doesn't attend this grand clan gathering. Whether he comes or not, the result will be the same."
"That's right. This grand clan meeting is mainly to select clan members with excellent qualifications, so that they can sit at the forefront of the Immortal Lady's Dharma Assembly and be selected by the Immortal Lady...Since Xue Kong is unable to practice, it's better for him not to come."
"He must be self-aware and aware of his own limitations, which is why he didn't come here to embarrass himself. After all, his father was the great hero who led our Xue family to prosperity, while he... is just an ordinary person."
An obese elder had just finished speaking when he felt the atmosphere on the platform suddenly freeze. He felt something was wrong and turned around to find that the other elders were looking at him with interesting expressions.
The head of the Xue family showed a look of blame in his eyes, and his face looked a little ugly.
The fat elder's face was stiff, his skin trembling, and he said in a lost voice: "This... I... I will send someone to call Xue Kong right away."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the other elders became even more interesting. Some of them even couldn't help but smile. If they hadn't forced themselves to suppress it, they would probably have laughed out loud.
They knew that the clan leader didn't care about Xue Kong at all. The mistake the fat elder made was not to belittle Xue Kong, but to mention Xue Kong's father and the great contributions his father had made to the family. Almost no one in the Xue family dared to mention this matter again.
They didn't expect that there were still people who didn't know how to live or die. This was good. If one more branch was hated by the clan leader, they could get a bigger share. So they wished that the fat clan elder would say a few more good words about Xue Kong's father and encourage him with his eyes.
No matter how stupid the fat elder was, he immediately realized what mistake he had made when he saw the hints from other elders. He stood up in panic and was about to go and call Xue Kong himself, intending to temporarily stay away from this place of trouble.
Just as he stood up, someone beside him said, "You don't have to go, Xue Kong is here."
In the distance, Xue Kong, dressed in a black robe, was walking slowly towards them alone. His face was calm, and he walked neither hurriedly nor slowly. Every step he took was extremely steady. Although he was only seventeen years old, he exuded a unique cold temperament.
"Xue Kong! Why don't you join us quickly? You're still dawdling and wasting time on the grand clan gathering. Be careful or I'll punish you by making you face the wall and reflect on your mistakes. You won't be able to attend the fairy guru's ceremony!"
