Shopkeeper Lai entered the house belonging to the patriarch of the family. The patriarch and his family would live here, and there would also be an ancestral hall and a meeting hall.

He took a look at the council hall, which he hadn't been back to for several years, and had a complicated thought. Could he be an elder there one day?

Can I sit in there one day and chat about all the big and small things every day?

Maybe he will feel bored at that time?

At this moment, what he thinks more about is how to become stronger, become stronger and stronger, go further on the road of cultivating immortality, become stronger, and live longer.

There is his shadow on the road to eternal life, and his name is on the world. He is no longer just a shopkeeper, an unknown person.

The shopkeeper retracted his thoughts and thought further. He could only think about it by becoming stronger. It was better to finish the matter now!

Shopkeeper Lai went directly to the door of the meeting hall, and the guard at the door stopped him: "The head of the family and the elders are discussing things inside. Uninvited people are not allowed to come in and disturb..."

"Brother, please go in and report that the shopkeeper of the shop on Ximen Xianmen Street has come back to see the clan leader on something important."

"Wait..., you can't break in when I'm reporting!"

"Well, I know the rules, don't worry!"

When the guard came in, the clan leader and elders were sitting on chairs and discussing. They all stopped talking when they saw him coming in.

"What's the matter?"

The head of the Lai family looked at the guard and said that they were discussing something and felt unhappy if someone came to disturb them.

"There is a man outside who claims to be the shopkeeper of a shop on Ximen Xianmen Street. He says he has something to come to see the owner of the house."

"The shopkeeper on Ximen Xianmen Street? Come on, come on, come on, invite him in."

Patriarch Lai has been thinking about his son these days, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper who was protecting his son to come to see him.

The shopkeeper entered the meeting hall, saw the head of the family and the elders, clasped his fists and saluted: "Head of the house, we haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?"

"You are the shopkeeper of the shop on Ximen Xianmen Street? Why did you come back? The shopkeeper outside can't come back without informing you. What's the matter with you coming back without permission? I can't explain the punishment."

An elder with a long beard and hair that has not yet turned gray and whose cultivation is in the foundation-building stage asked.

"Reporting to the elder, yes... I understand that I have something important to come back."

"If you don't work there, what are you doing here? Important things? What's important? Could it be that something happened on the side of Nangong Xianmen? No, I didn't hear anything big happened!"

Another elder in the foundation building stage asked, the only people in the family who can be elders are family members who have reached the foundation building stage.

However, it seems that they are only middle-aged and can reach the foundation-building stage. They were once elites.

I just don’t know why, but in the past ten years, there has been no progress in the cultivation of these elders, which made them feel disappointed and focused on cultivating family members.

Cultivate more elite disciples to make their families stronger. If more people can participate in the sect's cultivation, their families will have more members to build their foundation.

"Don't rush to ask. The head of the family hasn't asked yet. Mr. shopkeeper, do you have anything important to do when you come back?"

The shopkeeper said happily:

"Reporting to the head of the family, I came back this time because Master Jianlin recorded the jade slips for our family, and the Master has already moved from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building."

"Haha, my son is really amazing. He has already achieved our level of cultivation at such a young age. Did you all hear that? The son of our head is really good. Not only did he increase his level of cultivation, he also recorded the jade slips she practiced.

.”

The other elders also looked happy. With the secret book of Ximen Xianmen, not only can they practice, but also family members can practice.

"Quick, quick, quick, you shopkeeper, don't worry about talking, hurry up and take out the jade slips, and let us see the secret style of the Second Immortal Sect."

"That's right, shopkeeper, you have made great achievements this time, hurry up."

"What can improve your master's cultivation must be a very good secret book. We must also practice it."

The elders became active one by one. How many years have they not had such a passionate feeling?

Patriarch Lai looked proud and felt that he was very proud. His son was not the only one in the family who had entered the Immortal Sect, but he was the only one who had improved so quickly and was still the highest among the young disciples.

A few days ago, the head of the Luo family had his son achieve common rank, and he was envious of it. Now he didn't need to envy others, he had to show off when he had time.

It's not just the disciples of the first-rate families who can reach the middle stage of universal level foundation building. Maybe the disciples of their second-rate families will be even more powerful. In the near future, maybe they can surpass the members of the first-rate families.

Patriarch Lai thought so in his heart, but his eyes were always on the shopkeeper, watching him take out many jade slips from the storage bag.

"Wow, there are so many jade slips that I have never seen before. There are so many secret books that we have never seen before. Hehe, we can also see the secret books of the Immortal Sect. Haha, we can also practice the magic of the Immortal Sect in our lifetime. My cultivation

Why will I advance to the next level?”

"There are so many secret books. We have to record them and put them in the library so that the most dedicated elites in the family can have the opportunity to read them. If there are no dedicated disciples in our family, we cannot let them read it. This may arouse them.

The cultivation intention.”

Patriarch Lai gave a suggestion to the elders.

"Yes, the proposal is good. Our family must become stronger and cannot be just a second-rate family."

Everyone nodded and thought this suggestion was very good. After their elders learn the secrets, they can also teach them to family members, especially the more diligent disciples.

"What is this?" Patriarch Lai saw a jade slip that was not a secret book.

The shopkeeper kept a smile on his face, and when he saw the owner finally found the jade slip, he took out a sound transmission microphone from the storage bag.

"Head of the family, elders, look...hehe, have you seen this thing?"

"What kind of magic weapon is this? We have never seen it before!"

"What new thing is this? Is it a defensive or offensive weapon?"

The elders and the head of the Lai family all picked up the sound transmission microphone and looked at it. They couldn't see anything interesting for a while, but they were very interested in this metal thing, because it was something Lai Jianlin had someone bring back. It must be

.

The shopkeeper still looked mysterious, and couldn't hold back the happy smile on his face.

"Master, you will know when you pick up the jade slip and read it. This is the mission that Mr. Lai Jianlin brought back to me."

"Is this a mission my son brought back to you? Sit down and talk first."

Patriarch Lai came up with an answer.

"Yes……"

The shopkeeper nodded fiercely, he was really lucky to have a seat in the meeting hall.

Patriarch Lai became even more interested. He picked up the jade slip and tapped it on his forehead. The contents of the jade slip were already in his mind.

"Hahahahaha, my son is so smart."

The elders didn't know why the head of the family was so happy, but they rushed to pick up the jade slip and record it on their foreheads.

"In this way, our family can have a higher income."

An elder said.

"Yes! Let's discuss how to send people to dig this metal mine."

"But this metal mine does not belong to our family's territory. It seems to belong to the Sheng family..."

The words of the elders made Patriarch Lai's smile freeze for a moment. He thought he could get the windfall all to himself, but he didn't want to share a piece of the pie with others. This thought made him a little depressed.

However, he still has to rely on the Sheng family and has to inform the Sheng family. However, he has gained a lot today and can show off at the same time.

"Leave this metal microphone matter to us. Shopkeeper, you continue to return to the shop on Ximen Xianmen Street and wait for the young master."

"Yes, my subordinates also have this idea."

"It's not a few days away. Let's go home first. You haven't been home for a few years, right?"

"Yes, my subordinate has not been home for several years, but the young master still has something to say. He has not yet finished explaining his situation."

"Oh, shopkeeper, please tell me... how is my son doing now?"

"The young master was living a good life. That day, she came to the shop and told her subordinates that he was going to participate in the sect competition and wanted to win the position of direct disciple. Then if possible, he would participate in all sect competitions.

"

"My son really has ideals. When you go back this time, just bring some more spiritual stones and elixirs and go to the tent to get them. My son has contributed to the family and I should appreciate him."

When Patriarch Lai said this, he was not very authoritarian. He looked at the elders, and the elders nodded after hearing what the Patriarch said.

"yes……"

"Shopkeeper, are there any details you haven't told me yet?"

"It's like this. That day, when the young master came to the shop, he told the young one. Somehow, the young master realized the truth. From the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, the young master also benefited.

Small steps.”

"It's good to have enlightenment! We old guys are not by our son's side, so we don't have this blessing. You guys are so lucky."

To be honest, Patriarch Lai is envious, as he has not passed the common rank for several years.

The elders also looked at the shopkeeper with envy. Like the head of the family, they had not had ordinary rank for many years. If possible, they would like to change with the shopkeeper and serve not far from Lai Jianlin. Maybe one day they can get some work.

Light.

"Yes, I am also grateful to the young master. This time he gave me a task and asked me to take part in this task. I told the young master that I will follow him and protect him at all times."

"Your idea is right. You should continue to stay with my son and listen to her instructions at any time. You will also receive the reward in the tent, and then go home for a few days to reunite with your family, but you cannot stay too long. I will
