Chapter 87: Planning for the Long-term Future of the Family

Jiang Zhiyun deeply agreed with this. After all, Jiang Yucheng was her closest grandfather, so how could he not be on her side?

So he left everyone behind and went straight to the head of the family.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them laughed and said, "You are still good at diverting trouble. What's the point of telling us about that? If you have the guts, just go and snatch it from Sister Qingzi."

"Sister Qingzi is not like us. Now I know what it means that a sharp sword is forged through grinding. When she used that sword in the past, I thought she would really stab me..."

"Don't say it, it scares me." The man sighed, "Anyway, what does this kind of fight between gods have to do with us? Only the Saint Son and the Saint Daughter would care about it."

"Puchi, don't say that nickname. Saint Zhiyun might be happy to hear it. Saint Zhiping is a serious person."

"Look, you said it yourself..."

Everyone laughed and played for a while, then dispersed.

Jiang Zhiyun shared her thoughts with Jiang Yucheng, the grandfather of the family head, and Jiang Yucheng was slightly stunned.

Then he burst out laughing: "Oh, I'm not as thoughtful as Zhiyun."

Jiang Zhiyun thought Jiang Yucheng was really praising her, and raised her face: "Grandpa, I know that in the past, the family had to pay a large sum of money every year to ask others to test the qualifications."

"Now that our ancestors' magic weapon has finally returned, we should follow the old rules and hand it over to the head of the family."

If you ask someone else to assess your qualifications, there will definitely be a fee.

Although the sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony will assess people's qualifications for free, that is for the purpose of recruiting disciples, and those who meet the qualifications will have to join the other sect.

Naturally, a family of immortal cultivators would not want to let anyone with a bit of promise in the family be taken away by the sect. If they were to keep only a few with eighth or ninth grade spiritual roots, how would they sustain themselves?

Therefore, the disciples of the clan will not be allowed to participate in the sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony.

Unless one's aptitude is so high that practicing in the family would restrict that person's development, he would be sent into the sect to maintain a bond of loyalty. If he becomes a powerful person in the future, the family would receive even more care and protection.

Jiang Yucheng looked at his adorable granddaughter in front of him, shook his head slightly in his heart, but still smiled. He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, good granddaughter, it's a pity that you said it too late. Now we have asked Qing Zi to preside over the qualification appraisal. Although it has not been announced, it is tacitly accepted that she holds the jade pendant."

"Grandpa, I have an old face, and I can't do anything robbed. No matter what, we are all family..."

Seeing her grandfather, who had always loved her, in such a difficult situation, Jiang Zhiyun felt a surge of pride in her heart, and even the little bit of fear that remained was washed away by this pride.

She raised her head and said, "In that case, I, a junior, will take charge. If anything goes wrong in the future, it will be my fault because I am young and ignorant."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Yucheng nodded.

With her grandfather's tacit approval, Jiang Zhiyun immediately became extremely motivated. She said goodbye to her grandfather and went back to the house to make plans.

As soon as Jiang Zhiyun left, Jiang Yude, who had been hiding in a corner, showed up and anxiously bowed, "Master..."

"Don't panic, I'm not going to spoil her to that extent." Jiang Yucheng waved his hand, "We all dote on Jiang Zhiyun too much, it's better to let her encounter some setbacks. After all, I can't take care of her for too long..."

Jiang Yude immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Since he had promised Jiang Qingzi before, he naturally couldn't go back on his word.

Now that he knew that the patriarch just wanted to train his granddaughter, he was more relaxed: "Since the patriarch is willing to do so, I won't say anything, but it's better to talk about Jiang Qingzi."

"That's exactly what I meant. Besides, there are other things that need to be discussed. I'll go and visit him in person." After Jiang Yucheng finished speaking, he flashed and was already there.

Jiang Yucheng knocked on the door. Jiang Qingzi knew through the formation that it was the head of the family who was visiting, so he quickly stood up and opened the door to greet him. The two sat opposite each other and talked. Jiang Yucheng said in an awkward manner: "Qingzi, things are a bit difficult."

Jiang Qingzi was a little puzzled, and Jiang Yucheng continued, "Although starting a breeding business is the right way to go, the Jiang family is struggling to maintain it now, and it is really difficult to squeeze out this expense."

"Even if we squeeze it out, according to what I said before, the key to the profitability of this industry is the spiritual food technique of your junior brother Ye Yunqi."

"But people's hearts are unpredictable. After all, he is not a member of the Jiang family. If he leaves in the future, what will happen to the property?"

Jiang Yucheng was clearly thinking about Jiang Zhiyun, but when he arrived, he first talked about Jiang Qingzi's advice at that time.

Jiang Qingzi listened carefully and felt that this was true. It would definitely be difficult to accomplish this.

But should we not do it if it is difficult?

Jiang Qingzi replied: "Master, if this matter is accomplished, it will surely quickly improve the foundation and cultivation of the family members."

"I once heard people say that the practice of Taoism begins with the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head. Some people even boldly speculate that spiritual roots are born from the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head."

"The family that is full of energy and spirit has a higher chance of producing spiritual roots than usual."

Jiang Yucheng nodded: "Qingzi is right, but Qingzi, you also know that this matter requires a long-term view of the future. The key to advancement is the middle and lower class family members. But my Jiang family is struggling now, and you know what it lacks."

Jiang Qingzi and Jiang Yucheng looked at each other, their eyes falling on Jiang Yucheng's gray hair.

People who practice Taoism seek immortality, and most of them will try to maintain a healthy body throughout their lives.

The appearance of the Five Signs of Decline of Heavenly Beings is the announcement that the life of the practitioner is about to end.

As expected, the only person who built the Jiang family's foundation was the head of the family, Jiang Yucheng.

Seeing that Jiang Qingzi also understood his worries, Jiang Yucheng sighed, "The previous head of the family passed away, and the Jiang family no longer has a foundation-building master. The surrounding families and independent cultivators joined forces to suppress it, and it almost fell to the bottom."

"At that time, the entire family supported me in building my foundation, and finally the Jiang family was able to stabilize."

"At this moment, just as then, I have been preparing a plan to prevent a recurrence of past events."

"For this reason, I saved money and sold unimportant properties, just to build a foundation like I did in the past!"

Jiang Qingzi sighed slightly in his heart, and said with a cupped hand: "Qingzi is ignorant of the general situation, which makes the head of the family embarrassed. I will stop my previous advice."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yucheng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "It's not impossible. If it can help build the foundation, I can support it."

If there is enough time, being able to raise a second-level spiritual beast and make spiritual food will definitely help in building the foundation.

But right now, what they lack most is time. Jiang Qingzi was about to ask a question when she heard Jiang Yucheng continue talking.

"There are only a few people in the clan who have the hope of building a foundation. For the sake of the clan, I have something to ask Qingzi for help."

　I'm envious of next month's full attendance, but the catch-up reading and word count are not enough to be put on the shelves.

　　Either the number of readers suddenly increases, or the number of readers increases by 20,000...

　　If you can’t do it, you can’t do it no matter how you think about it, right?
