In the afternoon, luxury cars came in and out of the Qiu family’s manor.
As a huge family with several Jindan cultivators and forty-one cultivators, the Qiu family is undoubtedly the top fighting force in the entire Fog City.
There were not many people attending the meeting, only three in total.
That's right, in addition to Qiu Xiongyi, there were actually only two people attending this meeting. The Qiu family is divided into three departments, including the main family with the family as the core, and two branch families in charge of power and financial business.
However, unlike ordinary families, the difference between the main family and the branch family is not a difference in blood, but a difference in character.
Even those who are separated from the family can become members of the main family based on their acquired performance. The same is true for those who are separated from the family.
It is precisely because of this system that the Qiu family has never had any major family conflicts, and the family has prospered to this day because the capable are given the positions.
The main responsibility of the clan is to oversee the overall management and development of the family, and this must be undertaken by someone who is calm, collected and wise, such as Qiu Xiongyi.
Among the branch families are Qiu Shuang, the nephew of Qiu Xiongyi who is in charge of business, who is in his thirties, and Qiu Guohao, the uncle of Qiu Xiongyi who is in charge of combat power.
The three of them gathered together to decide the future direction of the family's development.
The head of the family has the most power, but the other two parties also have considerable power. Therefore, any major decision on the family's future must be made through consensus.
The other members of the Qiu family were waiting for news outside the door. Although they did not have the authority to attend the meeting, they still came one by one. After all, this was a big event.
The conference room was opened. Qiu Xiongyi was sitting at the long table, and Yu Sheng was ready beside him.
Qiu Shuang and Qiu Guohao looked at each other and frowned slightly.
Sat down and closed the door.
The meeting hadn't started yet. At this time, Qiu Shuang said in a completely unhappy tone: "Master, why is there an outsider in this family meeting?"
"That's right! This is an internal meeting!" Qiu Guohao also frowned.
However, Qiu Xiongyi remained calm and said calmly: "Don't worry, you two. Yu Sheng is not an outsider. He is my son-in-law, so he is naturally half a member of the Qiu family."
"That's only half. Even members of the Qiu family cannot attend such a high-level family meeting." Qiu Shuang reminded seriously.
Listening to what he said, it actually made sense. However, Qiu Xiongyi continued, "That's what he said, and the rules are the same, but now he is also an important person in our discussion of the ownership of the spirit vein. You know, the land where the spirit vein is located is now his."
"So what?" Qiu Shuang said nonchalantly, "The entire Wudu is ruled by my Qiu family. The rules are all set by my Qiu family. Whatever is his is his. Let's not talk about him getting married to Zi Ling. Even if they are married, does my Qiu family still have the final say over him?"
Yes, reality is so cruel.
Qiu Xiongyi frowned slightly and said calmly: "But he is also the key person in charge of communication between the Eastern Theater and the Western Theater. Anyway, let's listen to his plan today. Then we can decide."
"Why should I listen? Are you getting old and confused?" Qiu Guohao snorted coldly at this time, "You know how important family rules are, don't you? You are an outsider."
"… "
Seeing that Qiu Xiongyi seemed to be unable to resist, Yu Sheng stood up at this time. He looked at the two people who looked unhappy and said, "You two are right. I am an outsider. But are you sure you don't want me to attend this meeting? You must know that the spiritual vein is in my hands. Do you have a way to develop the spiritual vein?"
The corner of his eye twitched, and Qiu Guohao shouted angrily: "Boy, you underestimate my Qiu family. Let me tell you, my Qiu family has a solid foundation. Whether it is cultivating the spirit vein into a fairy palace, planting rare spirit herbs, or raising spirit beasts, it is completely no problem."
"Do you have seeds? Or do you have seeds in large quantities? It takes several months to grow spiritual herbs for a short time, and even decades for a long time. Do you have the corresponding technology? It is true that captive spiritual beasts can be selected from ordinary people and wild beasts, but do you know the quality? And for casual formations, do you know how the immortal palace should be built to conform to the formation?" Yu Sheng asked a series of questions that made the two of them feel numb.
Qiu Shuang snorted coldly and said, "We still have some experience. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been cut off for so long. How can you, who is not even a cultivator, be as experienced as us? What a joke!"
"Hahaha… "
Yu Sheng was so arrogant that he slapped the table and placed dozens of seeds of spiritual herbs and medicines on the table. He said calmly, "Sorry, I really do know. And I really have experience, and I have already started planting."
"What?" Qiu Shuang was stunned and looked at Yu Sheng in disbelief.
Qiu Guohao on the side snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "Boy, you are just bragging. Where do you get your experience? I..."
"Inherited?" Yu Sheng said bluntly, "Although I have never used it, I do have more experience than you. The key is that I also have a lot of seeds. Do you have any?"
"What's the use of having too many seeds? The key is that they are useful! We in the Qiu family have kept seeds of basic medicinal herbs. They only need a short period of cultivation to reach a large scale." Qiu Shuang said with a domineering look on his face.
However, Yu Sheng didn't care about anything else, picked up a round seed and threw it in front of him, and said lightly: "Do you have this one?"
"This is..." Qiu Shuang was slightly stunned. He was not studying seeds, so how could he know? You know, there is a big difference between seeds and fruits.
Seeing that he didn't recognize it, Yu Sheng said unceremoniously: "This is the Bailing Fruit in the Spirit Valley. I believe you don't have it. Because using spiritual power to grow spirit valleys was something that only large sects did in the past, because the cultivation of this thing requires sufficient spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy is not sufficient, the leaves will wither and rot and die in one day."
"It's actually Linggu!? You actually have this thing." Qiu Guohao said in surprise.
Once a cultivator reaches the Jindan stage, he can completely fast. In the foundation-building stage, he can take in small amounts of food. In the Qi-refining stage, he needs to take in large amounts of food.
However, with this spiritual valley, it is no longer necessary. A person only consumes two taels a day. But it can satisfy the appetite and improve the cultivation.
The key is that after ordinary food is eaten by immortal cultivators, impurities will be left in the body, and these impurities need to be excreted. Most of them can indeed be excreted through the digestive system, but a small part remains in the body.
It has little impact on ordinary people, but for cultivators, they need to use their energy to remove these things from the body every once in a while, otherwise it will not only affect their lifespan, but also accelerate the aging of the body.
The spiritual grain can almost completely make this embarrassing thing disappear. It can completely replace ordinary food, and the cultivators don't need to go on a fast to improve their cultivation.
After all, fasting is fasting, and you are really hungry.
It is not easy to be a monk these days. You need to work hard when your cultivation level is low, and you have to resist hunger when your cultivation level is high.
