"What? You want to abolish the distinction between the direct line and the descendants? Regardless of whether the Ling family is the direct line or the descendants, the treatment standards will be the same?"
"Young Family Head, are you joking? If you abolish the distinction between the direct line and the descendants, who will have the final say in the Ling family in the future? "
"That's not good. The direct line of descent is determined by the bloodline. How can it be abolished so casually? "
At the Ling family meeting, Ling Dong's words caused a huge uproar. Compared to the intense reaction of the direct line of descent of the Ling family, many of the branch family members' eyes were red with envy. If it weren't for the fact that they were afraid of the abuse of power by the direct line of descent, many of the branch family members would have cheered.
Elder Ling Tieshan, who was also standing to the side, looked at Ling Dong with a wry smile. He had long understood that as long as Ling Dong made a move, it would not be easy.
Although Family Head Ling Yuanshan had already informed them of this decision, when Ling Dong announced it in front of everyone, even he found it hard to accept. After all, the Ling family's direct line of descent had always had special privileges for hundreds of years.
After announcing this decision and throwing away this shocking firecracker, Ling Dong stared coldly at the direct line of descent who were shouting.
As Ling Dong had expected, the ones who were shouting the loudest were the foppish sons of the direct line of descent, such as Ling Yuming. Any direct line of descent who had some ability either looked on coldly from the sidelines or chimed in from time to time to fight for their rightful rights.
However, the voices of the direct line of descent weren't very strong.
Among the more than four hundred members of the Ling family, there were less than a hundred direct line of descent. However, these direct line of descent, who didn't even make up one-fifth of the entire family, took up 90% of the Ling family's cultivation resources!
Now that Ling Dong had abolished the special privileges of the direct line of descent, he was cutting off their flesh. How could they not be anxious?
"Young Family Head, the distinction between the direct line of descent and the descendants is an ancestral rule. How can it be changed so easily?" Finally, some of the old fellows among the direct descendants could no longer sit still. Although their strength was lacking, their seniority was still there. Their words were still very influential.
"Cough!"
Ling Dong coughed lightly, and the Ling family's ancestral hall quickly quieted down. Over the past few days, Ling Dong's prestige had been increasing day by day.
"You have to understand one thing. Today, I'm not here to discuss with you. I'm here to announce a decision. A decision that you have to agree to even if you don't want to!" Ling Dong's voice immediately made the direct descendants nervous.
"Of course, if you really can't accept it, you can leave the Ling family and seek your own development. Or, I can send you back to the Tian Gang Continent. The journey isn't far. It's just passing through a dozen or so Astral Realms!"
"Hiss …" The sound of cold air being sucked in instantly came out from the mouths of Ling Dong's clansmen, converging into a rather loud sound. When Ling Tieshan heard this, he pursed his lips. Fighting with Ling Dong? Such a person from the Ling family hadn't even been born yet.
A dozen or so years ago, when Ling Dong was still a small fry in the Innate Realm, he was already able to control the power of the Ling family. Now, Ling Dong … It was better not to mention him.
Ling Dong's words caused the direct descendants who were still whispering to each other to shut their mouths at the same time. They had already experienced Ling Dong's prowess when the Ling family left the Tian Gang Continent.
If they left the Ling family, not to mention their cultivation bases, martial artists who didn't have a family backing them might be abducted to do manual labor in the blink of an eye. As for returning to the Tian Gang Continent, not to mention the dangers of the Tian Gang Continent, to them, passing through a dozen or so Astral Realms was definitely a blatant threat from the young family head.
"You all understand what I mean, right?" Looking at the Ling family members who had quieted down, Ling Dong's chiseled face flashed with a terrifying divine light. "Then, I'll now announce the family's reorganization order!
"First, the Ling family's monthly allowance will be divided into nine grades from today onwards. The lowest grade will be First Grade, and the highest grade will be Ninth Grade. The First Grade monthly allowance will be ten pieces of low-grade Reiki and three pills of the same grade. This is equivalent to the lowest grade monthly allowance of the branch family's Third Grade!
The Second Grade monthly allowance will be doubled on the First Grade monthly allowance. The value of the pills will be calculated according to their grade, and so on until the Ninth Grade monthly allowance! "
"Doubled all the way to the Ninth Grade?" Hearing this number, even the Second Elder, Ling Tieshan's expression changed slightly. According to Ling Dong's calculation, the Ninth Grade monthly allowance would mean that the Ninth Grade monthly Reiki alone would mean that the Ninth Grade monthly allowance would receive more than two thousand five hundred pieces of low-grade Reiki. And this was just for one month. That would be thirty thousand pieces of low-grade Reiki in a year. With so many pieces of low-grade Reiki for cultivation, the speed of cultivation …
Ling Tieshan didn't even dare to think about it.
"Also, from the Fourth Grade monthly allowance onwards, you can cultivate for a certain period of time in the Origin Gathering Formation near the family's spirit vein every month. The concentration of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi near the Origin Gathering Formation is two and a half times that of the non-spirit vein! It's five times that of the Wood Puppet World and eight times that of the Tian Gang Continent! "
"Eight times that of the Tian Gang Continent …" The shock of the Ling family members was indescribable. Didn't that mean that their cultivation speed would be seven to eight times that of the Tian Gang Continent?
"If any of the family members' contributions to the family allow them to enjoy the Seventh Grade monthly allowance, then from the Seventh Grade monthly allowance onwards, you can cultivate for a certain period of time in the family's newly built secret palace every month!
The concentration of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi in the family's newly built secret palace inside the spirit vein is six times that of the outside world, twelve times that of the Wood Puppet World, and many times that of the Tian Gang Continent. You can calculate for yourselves! "
"From today onwards, your monthly allowance will be calculated according to your contributions to the family! The previous direct descendants of the family will all enjoy a Fourth Grade monthly allowance! Those with family duties can be calculated according to their respective duties … "
In the Ling family's ancestral hall, Ling Dong announced the rules of the Ling family according to the things he had sorted out in the past two days. It was a competitive rule!
The monthly allowance enjoyed by the family members could be increased or decreased. Everything would be calculated according to their contributions to the family. Regarding the family's contributions, Ling Dong had drawn up an extremely detailed regulation, including the family's monthly grand competition, the speed of cultivation advancement, and so on.
This regulation was drawn up by Ling Dong, Ling Yuanshan, Guan Xingzi, and the others over the past few days. It would be slowly perfected in the future.
"These are the family rules. If there's anything inappropriate, I'll fix it myself! Lastly, I'll add one more rule. If any family member's contribution to the family drops from First Grade to First Grade, no matter who they are, they'll have to mine in the family's mine for three months! Even if there's no family mine now, they'll have to go to Yangping Mountain and dig out a stone mine for me! "
Among the family members, Ling Yuming's mouth was wide open, and he didn't close it for a long time. This was because he suddenly said that according to this regulation, he would very likely have to mine in the mines!
"Also, I'll add an iron rule of the family. If you violate the family's order signed by the family head once, your monthly allowance will drop by three ranks and you'll face the wall in the family prison for three years! If you leak the family's secrets, you'll be executed in the ancestral hall, and all your relatives will be thrown into the family prison … If you kill each other … "
Ling Dong's voice was as cold as a sword. He announced the iron rules of the family that had existed for a long time, but not many people paid attention to them.
Actually, these iron rules of the family existed in the Tiangang Continent. However, the Tiangang Continent had been peaceful for a long time, so no one paid attention to them. Now that they were in the Long 'an Boundary, where danger lurked everywhere, Ling Dong brought up this matter.
The four hundred plus members of the Ling family turned pale with fright when they heard Ling Dong's strict orders. Many people, including Ling Yuming, realized that the free and unfettered days of the past might not return.
Just as the four hundred plus members of the Ling family were feeling nervous, the family head of the Ling family, Ling Yuanshan, and the great elder, Ling Xuanfeng, appeared at the same time.
"Young Family Head's orders are my orders!" Ling Yuanshan's expression was extremely calm, but there was an indescribable seriousness in it. After interacting with Zuo Guangda, Ling Yuanshan and Ling Xuanfeng completely understood Ling Dong's painstaking efforts.
If the family did not change, they would probably be swallowed whole by others in the Long 'an Boundary. According to the family's previous rules, the Ling family would only breed more foppish people!
"Also, from today onwards, all matters of the Ling family will be handled by the Young Family Head! Or to be more direct, from today onwards, Ling Dong will be the Ling family's family head! "
At this point, Ling Yuanshan ignored the shock of his family members and said, "From today onwards, I, the great elder, Ling Xuanfeng, and the third elder, Ling Wenshu, will cultivate in seclusion! Second Elder, Ling Tieshan, and Fourth Elder, Ling Chengji, will cooperate with Ling Dong to handle the family's affairs. Everything will be decided by Ling Dong! "
After saying this, Ling Yuanshan and Ling Xuanfeng floated away.
The four hundred plus members of the Ling family did not understand, but Ling Dong understood. His father and the great elder, Ling Xuanfeng, had been provoked by Zuo Guangda today.
The cultivation of the Star Transformation Realm was really nothing. Not only would it be mocked by others, it would also bring an inexplicable crisis to the family. Thus, they might as well cultivate in seclusion and crazily increase their cultivation.
In fact, even if Ling Yuanshan did not make this decision, Ling Dong had already made arrangements. As soon as the family's affairs were on the right track, he arranged for Ling Yuanshan to cultivate in the Myriad Stars House every day.
Ling Dong believed that with the density of Yuan Qi in the Myriad Stars House's Myriad Stars Palace, the effects of comprehension, the various auxiliary formations, and the large amount of high-quality pills that Ling Dong provided, every member of the Ling family who cultivated in the Myriad Stars Palace would cultivate at least ten times faster than in the Wood Puppet World. Ling Dong's name was written backwards!
And now, Ling Dong had already verified it!
His four wives, Zi Yao, Liu Yaoguang, and the others cultivated in the Myriad Stars House's Myriad Stars Palace. Their cultivation speed was more than twenty times faster than in the Tian Gang Continent, and twelve times faster than in the Wood Puppet World.
Qiu Qingyi, who had the highest aptitude, cultivated in the Myriad Stars Palace fifteen times faster than in the Wood Puppet World! At this speed, in less than two months, their cultivation of the Star Transformation Realm would be able to increase by one level.
The huge machine that was the Ling family, under the new rules set by Ling Dong, began to operate at full power. All kinds of new rules began to be implemented under the supervision of the people arranged by Ling Dong.
As for Ling Dong himself, he was in an empty room without a roof, allowing the moonlight and starlight to sprinkle down. In his Spirit Sea of Knowledge, the Star Master Plate was madly rotating, sprinkling seven-colored starlight that merged with his Spirit Origin, which was already extremely bright, and crazily increasing the strength of his Spirit.
Ling Dong wanted to break through his Spirit Cultivation from the peak of the Scarlet Soul Realm to the Purple Soul Realm in the shortest time possible. As long as Ling Dong's Spirit Cultivation broke through to the Purple Soul Realm, Ling Dong's Spirit Strength would have a qualitative improvement.
At that time, Ling Dong might be able to rely on the Purple Soul Realm's Spirit Strength to find the strange Spirit hidden in the core area of the family's Grade Four Spirit Vein, and solve the strange situation in the core area of the family's Grade Four Spirit Vein.
This was Ling Dong's real business now!
Whether or not the strange situation of the Grade Four Spirit Vein could be solved was an important factor in determining whether or not Ling Dong could take root in Long An Territory's Yuanzhou!
Ling Dong had a hunch that his Spirit Cultivation would break through to the Purple Soul Realm from the Scarlet Soul Realm in the next three to four days!
