My family is cultivating immortality, I am working on resources in another world

Pingjiang County, Jiang family.

The sky was filled with dense clouds and thunder was rumbling.

In the empty meeting room, the girl knelt on the ground.

Her pretty face was covered with tear marks, and she pleaded with tears in her almond-shaped eyes.

"Brother, just agree to my marriage. Our family's surplus food is running out and we're going to be broke soon.

You've done enough for me, let me help you this time, okay?"

Jiang Ming sat on the patriarch's chair, looking very haggard.

But after hearing this, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he refused firmly.

"Qingyu, you don't need to say anything more, this is absolutely not allowed!

The Lin family's proposal of marriage this time must be ill-intentioned. How could I push you into this fire pit? Just wait a little longer, I will definitely find a way!"

Biting her pink lips tightly, Qingyu stood up stubbornly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Jiang Ming with a sad face and asked back.

"What else can you do? If it were usual, I could still refine some pills and exchange them for food and clothing for the family.

But after the last epidemic, the family’s spiritual medicine reserves are almost gone!

In the past three years, the land has been eroded by negative energy and no spiritual plants can grow.

The Jiang family has no mineral veins, so we don’t have any resources.

Do you think I want to marry someone else? I just hope you can live a better life!"

...

Seeing that Qingyu was a little emotionally broken, Jiang Ming quickly stood up to comfort her.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes with his sleeve, pinched her nose lightly, a soft look in his eyes, and said with a solemn oath.

"Believe me, there will definitely be a way to overcome this! I will use all the resources my father left behind to build my foundation.

Then, enter the secret realm left by our ancestors and extract the cultivation resources within. By then, the current situation within the clan will surely improve!"

Although he spoke with full confidence, Jiang Ming was actually not sure.

He has been traveling through this world for three years, and his strength has barely reached the seventh level of Qi training, which is still some distance away from the foundation-building stage.

Since the death of the previous patriarch, the secret realm has never been opened again.

The oldest is thirty years old, and the youngest is at the foundation-building stage. These two thresholds of entry have blocked everyone in the clan.

The older generation cannot enter, and the younger generation is not strong enough. This is no longer a lack of successors, but a Great Rift Valley across East Africa!

...

Normally speaking, the Jiang family has abundant land, and as long as the men farm and the women weave, their family will not decline for generations.

The clan's secret realm was completely useless, but from the day Jiang Ming crossed over, black rain fell for three consecutive days.

Then the soil lost its spiritual power.

Almost all vegetation was wiped out, and the monsters were infected by the negative energy, losing their intelligence and killing everyone they saw.

The Jiang family's land was destroyed, and they declined from being a powerful family known far and wide to what they are today.

...

After knowing what Jiang Ming was thinking, Qingyu's mood finally calmed down a little.

Although there are doubts in my heart, I don't question them and continue as usual.

She believed in Jiang Ming's judgment without any conditions.

The girl leaned on Jiang Ming's broad shoulders, looked out the window, and spoke in a soft voice.

"Once Brother Jiang Ming breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, we won't have to worry about the Great Elder's opinion anymore..."

After a while.

squeak~

Suddenly there was a slight sound and the door opened.

An old man with eagle eyebrows strode into the room and shouted sternly when he saw this scene.

"Jiang Ming, you are the head of the clan, why are you acting so without measure?

Although you are not related by blood, since you are brother and sister, your behavior must conform to the rules."

Even though Jiang Ming was calm, his face turned gloomy at this moment.

The person who came was the great elder of the clan, and according to seniority, Jiang Ming had to call him uncle.

The two are closely related by blood, but their relationship is extremely tense.

He has always been resentful because he did not take the position of patriarch.

He and Jiang Ming are almost incompatible.

It was also the Great Elder's idea to let Qingyu get married in exchange for some money and food.

Looking at the old man's face which was dignified without anger, Jiang Ming was not afraid at all.

With a cold face, he said pointedly, "What brings you here?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's question, the elder laughed instead of getting angry.

He took out a marriage certificate from his arms, his face beaming with glory and he answered with pride.

"Send the marriage certificate to Qingyu. I've agreed to the marriage on her behalf. The Lin family has treated us well.

Giving a full half month's worth of food as a betrothal gift, this marriage is well worth it."

Jiang Ming clenched his fists and snatched the marriage certificate with a cold face.

He tore a few pieces of red paper into pieces, stared at the Great Elder and asked in a deep voice.

"For half a month's food, you sold out the best alchemist in your clan?

Betraying your clan members and surviving is your way of survival!

I absolutely do not agree to this. If you want to marry, go ahead and do it yourself!"

Not wanting to waste any more time talking to the Great Elder, Jiang Mingyan pulled Qingyu out of the conference room and headed for the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall.

Looking at the two people's departing backs, the Great Elder showed a hint of teasing, smiled faintly, left the meeting room, and then left the Jiang Mansion.

On the road.

Thinking of the ugly faces of the Lin family in recent years as they pressed the Jiang family step by step and gradually encroached on the Jiang family's land, Jiang Ming immediately made a decision in his heart.

He couldn't bear to see his sister fall into the wolf's den and do nothing.

He originally wanted to discuss it, but at this time he did not dare to bet on the opinions of his tribesmen.

Once the negotiations fail, the Great Elder will be on guard and it will be extremely difficult to mobilize resources.

While he still has power, he must become a dictator again.

Jiang Ming had a vague premonition that the Great Elder's hostility might not be that simple.

Since his father's death, he has taken the lead in getting close to the Lin family, and his behavior is just like a dog of the Lin family.

If Jiang Ming hadn't been afraid of his foundation-building strength, he would have even wanted to investigate whether he was an undercover agent of the Lin family.

With a long sigh, Jiang Ming once again realized the importance of strength.

If he was also a Foundation Establishment expert, the Great Elder would never dare to challenge his authority so brazenly.

The most urgent task is to improve our strength as quickly as possible.

...

Come to the family ancestral hall.

As if she had guessed what Jiang Ming was thinking, Qingyu reached out and took off the warm jade pendant on her chest, shyly handed it over and spoke softly.

"Brother Jiang Ming, this is a jade pendant made from a top-grade spirit stone, so it should have quite a bit of spiritual power.

If you don’t have enough resources for cultivation, just use them up…”

Feeling the girl's sincere feelings, Jiang Ming couldn't bear to refuse.

He gently took the jade pendant, thought for a moment, then hung it back on Qingyu's neck, smiled faintly and shook his head.

“It smells good, but this is your father’s only relic, so you should keep it as a souvenir.

I will find a way to cultivate myself. If you are willing to help, please help me refine some pills."

Holding the still warm jade pendant, Qingyu hit Jiang Ming with a red face, and then agreed seriously.

"Leave the pills to me. I will try to use the least amount of spiritual medicine to achieve the best results."

...

Jiang Ming nodded and took out the clan leader's seal from the storage ring.

With a light tap on the stone wall, the secret door opened.

After entering the secret room, Jiang Ming pieced together half a basket of dried spiritual herbs and handed them directly to Qingyu without sorting them.

With a look of curiosity, he asked, "How many foundation-building pills can be made from these herbs?"

Without giving a clear answer, Qingyu ignited the alchemy furnace that had been prepared long ago and put the elixirs into the furnace in order.

It seems that he has already started refining the elixir.

Although it was Qingyu's first time to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, the professionalism revealed in her actions still made people feel at ease.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming tactfully refined the spirit stones to increase the spiritual energy in his body.

The refreshing feeling of spiritual power flooding his heart made him put aside all distractions and devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Absorbing a fist-sized spirit stone is equivalent to several months of hard training.

Soon Jiang Ming improved his cultivation to the eighth level of Qi training.

Only one step left to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Taking out a few more spirit stones, Jiang Ming greedily absorbed the spiritual power in them, like a hungry child.

After the realm is improved, the spiritual energy consumed in cultivation increases a lot.

Jiang Ming refined three spirit stones in a row, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any sound at all.

After refining all the remaining small pile of spirit stones, Jiang Ming was unable to make any further progress.

Although I am much closer to a breakthrough, the effect of absorbing spiritual energy is getting worse and worse.

The meridians were like a canal dug out by someone, and spiritual energy was leaking out.

Jiang Ming just felt that the spiritual energy he absorbed seemed to be stolen!

aside.

Qingyu's elixir has been produced and is emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

Looking closely, there were actually eight foundation-building pills in this furnace!

Although Jiang Ming knew that this little girl was talented, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

You should know that if the alchemist in the county can make three successful pills, he can become a guest of honor of the four major families.

Without caring about being surprised or receiving praise, he quickly took the pill and began to refine it.

If you don’t have enough spirit stones, you can make up for it with pills.

With eight foundation-building pills, even a pig can become an immortal.

After taking a foundation-building pill, Jiang Ming suddenly felt his mind become clearer and his whole body became much more insightful.

He worked hard to refine the elixir, not daring to waste even a little bit.

After a while, his cultivation hadn't improved at all! In doubt, he tried to take another pill.

But the result is still the same, so stop what you are doing.

Jiang Ming suddenly heard a demonic voice coming from his ears. It did not sound like a human voice, but like an intelligent machine.

[Charging is almost complete, preparing to cross! ]
