Of course, Ling Yun had to acknowledge his ancestors first before following the rest of the Ling Family to worship their ancestors.
After hearing Ling Lie's words, Ling Yun didn't hesitate to straighten his clothes before kneeling respectfully in front of the ancestral tablet in front of him.
Ling Yun's expression was solemn as he kowtowed nine times to worship his ancestors.
At the same time, Ling Lie's voice rang out again. "My unfilial son, Ling Lie, respectfully announces to all the ancestors of the Ling Family that my unfilial son, Ling Xiao, made a huge mistake when he was young, causing Ling Yun to wander outside from a young age. Today, I have returned home to worship my ancestors. Now, I will write Ling Yun's name into the Ling Family's genealogy book. I hope that the ancestors will know of this and bless our Ling Family for a long time to come! "
Ling Lie's voice rang out just as Ling Yun finished his three kneeling and nine kowtows.
Ling Lie used a brush to write Ling Yun's name into the genealogy book. When the words were dry, he closed the genealogy book carefully and placed it in front of the ancestral tablets.
Only then did Ling Lie pull Ling Yun up from the ground.
"Child, get up and stand behind your father. We will worship the Ling Family's ancestors together later."
Ling Yun didn't say much. He just nodded at Ling Lie and stood behind Ling Xiao.
At this point, Ling Yun had officially acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the Ling Family.
The entire process was solemn, but it wasn't sloppy. It was very direct and clean, which was the typical style of the Ling Family.
Then, Ling Lie cleared his throat and shouted, "Descendants of the Ling Family, worship your ancestors."
With that, his tall figure immediately knelt down respectfully in front of the ancestral tablets in front of him.
Ling Zhen, Ling Yue, and Ling Xiao, of course, followed suit. Everyone in the ancestral hall, regardless of gender or age, knelt down in front of the ancestral tablets.
Next, of course, was burning incense and paper money. After all the procedures were done, Ling Lie and his descendants stood up.
In this way, for ordinary clans, the entire process of worshipping their ancestors would be considered over.
However, the Ling Family was different. They had the Ling Family's inheritance, the Ghost Deity Willow.
According to the usual practice, everyone in the Ling Clan who cultivated the Black Yellow Sutra would have to bite their fingertips and drip a few drops of blood onto the Divine Willow Wood. Moreover, they would also have to inject their own Black Yellow True Qi into the Divine Willow Wood. Only then would the ceremony end.
Naturally, this time would not be an exception.
Ling Lie turned around and looked at Ling Yun affectionately. "Yun Er, take out your other piece of wood."
"Alright."
Ling Yun nodded and took out the other Ghost Deity Willow from his spatial ring without hesitation. He took a few steps forward and handed it to Ling Lie.
Ling Yun then turned around and was about to return to his original spot.
Ling Lie pulled him back and smiled. "You don't have to go back first. We've already paid our respects to the ancestors, so there's no need for so many rules."
"Oh."
Ling Yun smiled and stood in place without moving.
Ling Lie turned around and faced the Ling Family's descendants. He suddenly raised the Ghost and Deity Willow high in the air.
With an excited expression, he shouted, "Children, look at this! Look at what this is!"
"This is our Ling Family's inheritance! These two pieces of wood were originally as black as coal, and even I didn't know what they were. Our Ling Clan followed the Ling Clan's ancestral teachings, and for the past few decades, almost every year, every month, we would drip a drop of blood on them, and infuse them with the Black Yellow True Qi that we cultivate. However, so many years have passed, and our entire clan's power has never been able to make them change. "
"However, this year, after I found out about Yun Er's whereabouts, I sent Cui Lao to Qingshui City to bring our Ling Family's inheritance to Yun Er for a blood test. My original intention was to see if Yun Er was really Third Brother's son."
"However, after Yun Er injected his blood into this piece of wood, it underwent an earth-shattering change! Not only did it receive a new lease of life, but it also regained its vitality and regained its growth! "
"Now, everyone can clearly see that these two pieces of wood have already become like this. They have actually grown into two small trees!"
"Even though I still don't know what benefits these two small trees can bring to our Ling Family, I'm now at the middle stage of Xiantian Realm Level Eight. Naturally, I can feel the immense spiritual energy and vitality coming from these two small trees!"
"This is the surprise that Yun Er brought to our Ling Family. It's also the fortune that Yun Er brought to our Ling Family! Just based on this, Yun Er is a great contributor to our Ling Family! "
"Furthermore, before Yun Er returned to the Ling Family, he had already saved the Ling Family several times. He rescued his second uncle from the Chen Family and rushed to the Ling Family in time to resolve the crisis. He also healed everyone in the Ling Family and helped me reach Xiantian Realm Level Eight … Just the night before yesterday, Yun Er had just returned to Beijing and rescued his father!"
Ling Lie only stopped after saying so much in one breath. Facing the silent crowd, he took a deep breath and said in a clear voice, "In view of Ling Yun's contributions, I hereby announce that Ling Yun is the future successor of the Ling Family according to the rules of the family! From today onwards, the Ling Family's inheritance will be handed over to him for safekeeping! "
As the saying went, nothing could be accomplished without rules. In a large family, everything was done in an orderly manner and strictly in accordance with the family's rules.
Even if Ling Lie had the final say in the Ling Family, if he wanted Ling Yun to be the future head of the Ling Family, he would have to explain Ling Yun's contributions and convince everyone before announcing it according to the family rules.
He couldn't just give the position to Ling Yun with a few words. If that was the case, there would inevitably be people who wouldn't be convinced.
This was the way a large family did things. It wasn't something a second or third-rate family could compare to.
After Ling Lie finished his announcement, he put down the Ghost Deity Willow in his hand and turned to look at his three sons. "Eldest, Second, Third, do you have any objections to my decision?"
Ling Zhen was expressionless. He bowed slightly and said calmly, "Ling Yun's contributions to the Ling Family are obvious to all. I have no objections."
Ling Yue clapped his hands and laughed heartily. "Father, I fully support your decision. Other than Ling Yun, no one else can be the future head of the Ling Family."
Ling Yue's words were equivalent to publicly announcing his support for Ling Yun.
Ling Zhen's mouth twitched a little, but he didn't say anything.
Ling Xiao bowed and said, "Everything is up to you, Father."
What else could Ling Xiao say when Ling Lie passed the position of the future head of the Ling Family to his son?
"Alright!"
Ling Lie laughed heartily. He waved his hand and said, "Since none of you have any objections, this matter is settled."
"Next, let's follow our usual practice. I'll go first. "
Ling Lie brought his left index finger to his mouth and bit it lightly. A bloody wound appeared on his finger. Ling Lie hurriedly placed his finger on the Ghost Deity Willow. At the same time, he didn't forget to transfer his Connate Black Yellow True Qi into the Divine Willow.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The blood that flowed from Ling Lie's finger wasn't absorbed by the Ghost Deity Willow like usual. Instead, it flowed down the surface of the bark and dripped onto the ground.
This time, the Ghost Deity Willow didn't absorb a single drop of Ling Lie's blood.
Of course, the Black Yellow True Qi that he transferred into the Ghost Deity Willow was completely absorbed by the small tree. There was no rejection.
Ling Lie was stunned. He stared at the spot where his finger connected to the small tree.
"Our Ling Family's inheritance isn't absorbing my blood? What's going on? "
Grandpa Ling couldn't be blamed for being stunned. If the Ling Family's inheritance didn't accept his blood, wouldn't that mean that the Divine Willow was rejecting him?
One had to know that they were in the Ling Family's ancestral hall. The spirits of the Ling Family's ancestors were watching from heaven.
Ling Lie didn't believe it. He thought that the wound he made wasn't big enough. He brought his finger to his mouth and bit it hard. Blood flowed down instantly.
He brought his finger to the surface of the Ghost Deity Willow again. However, the blood flowed down the bark, but it wasn't absorbed by the Ghost Deity Willow.
"Boss, come here! You try too! "
Ling Lie was anxious. He turned around and called Ling Zhen over. Ling Zhen's expression was solemn. He rushed forward and did the same thing. However, the result was the same. Blood dripped onto the ground.
Ling Zhen shook his head. "Father, this wood only absorbs the Black Yellow True Qi. It doesn't absorb blood anymore."
Ling Lie was puzzled. He called Ling Xiao over, but it was useless. The Ghost Deity Willow didn't absorb the blood of the Ling Family.
"Hehe, our Ling Family's inheritance doesn't absorb the blood of the Ling Family anymore. This is going to be interesting!"
Ling Hao saw that something was wrong and couldn't wait for it to happen. He seized the opportunity to attack Ling Yun secretly.
"Shut up!"
Ling Zhen turned around and scolded Ling Hao angrily.
Ling Yun only smiled at Ling Hao's attack. He took a step forward and said calmly, "Grandpa, why don't you let me try?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Ling Lie's reply. He used his left index finger and used his fingernail to scratch the palm of his right hand. Instantly, a huge wound appeared.
Ling Yun's right hand was bleeding profusely. Without hesitation, he grabbed the Ghost Deity Willow with his right hand!
"Swoosh!"
Ling Yun felt his blood flow accelerate. The blood that flowed out of his palm was absorbed by the Ghost Deity Willow. He could even feel its greed.
With Ling Lie in the lead, everyone, including Ling Zhen and Ling Xiao, was dumbfounded.
Ling Yun smiled faintly and explained, "These two pieces of wood have been fed with my blood for a long time. Their appetite is very picky."
Ling Yun's explanation was interesting, but it was the truth of the Ghost Deity Willow.
Ling Yun's body refinement was complete. He cultivated the Stellar Condensation Technique. His body was already a treasure. There were many kinds of Immortal Spiritual Energy coexisting in his body. Even though he was of the Ling Family's bloodline, the quality of his blood was many times better than the rest of the Ling Family!
The Divine Ghost Willow naturally absorbed blood to grow. Just like humans, after eating delicacies, no one would be willing to eat junk food. It was the same logic.
Ling Yun didn't forget to inject the Black Yellow True Qi into the Ghost Deity Willow.
This time, the amount of blood and Black Yellow True Qi that the Ghost Divine Willow absorbed was several times more than usual.
Suddenly!
"Boom!"
The Ghost Deity Willow changed again! (To be continued.)
