Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Zhang Yuanlin's words revealed the truth, and Zhang Lingyu was not too surprised. Many Zhang family cultivators would apply for a change of mission after breaking through a minor realm.

What about him?

Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators possess considerable combat abilities and can accomplish many things in the cultivation world.

In the Zhang family, a Foundation Establishment clan, they can be considered an indispensable middle-level force.

Zhang Yuanlin silently observed the junior in front of him. He hadn't expected the other party to break through so quickly, especially since Zhang Lingyu's reputation in the clan wasn't very good.

His half-hearted cultivation and laziness when gathering herbs have caused dissatisfaction among many clansmen. Some have even come directly to him, demanding that he stop receiving his monthly spirit stone stipend and leave the mountain early to avoid wasting the clan's resources.

It's truly surprising that someone like this could break through to a higher level earlier than others of the same age.

He's only coming to me now because he wants a better job, but Zhang Lingyu has just broken through, which is something to celebrate. I'm really embarrassed to bring up his past messy affairs.

Zhang Yuanshan remained silent for a while, and seeing that Zhang Lingyu had not spoken, he asked, "Little Nineteen, do you have any thoughts on your mind? Tell me about them."

Zhang Lingyu didn't mince words and went straight to the point:

"Second Grandfather, I am not very proficient in alchemy, weapon crafting, or talisman making. I have come today to ask for a position as a garrison commander. May I ask which places are currently short of personnel?"

The Zhang family's territory is quite large, with nearly 400,000 mortals under their rule. They also own two Iron Cloud Stones and a first-tier Crimson Fire Essence Mine, which are currently the family's main sources of income.

But he dared not hope to go there. Not to mention that he had no background, it was extremely dangerous because there were often demonic beasts and other rogue cultivators there.

Therefore, the Zhang family arranged for two late-stage Qi Refining clansmen and several sixth-stage Qi Refining clansmen to guard each location.

In addition, the area around the Crimson Fire Essence Mine has been unstable recently, and even the clan leader Zhang Xingyao went there personally to check!

However, there are other places to go, such as Bishui Town and Pingshui Town, where the land is fertile and the area is a plain. The Zhang family has planted a large area of ​​spiritual rice there.

These two places are adjacent to two other Foundation Establishment families: the Yun family and the Ming family, and each is guarded by a late-stage Qi Refining family member and several mid-stage Qi Refining family members year-round.

Fortunately, both sides focused their attention on the mines, and since the price of spirit rice was not high and transportation was costly in terms of manpower and resources, they only occasionally harassed Bishui and Pingshui Town.

The risk is many times smaller than the former!

Of course, the most important point is that, as long as you are not too far from the place you are guarding, you can rely on the intelligence system to find opportunities!

"Out on a garrison duty!?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanlin was initially surprised, but then a strong interest welled up within him, and he couldn't help but continue, "Oh, Little Nineteen actually has such thoughts? Tell me about them?"

This statement would likely be a joke to others; who would believe that someone who is afraid of death would want to guard the area?

But Zhang Lingyu's words were firm and resolute, and didn't seem like he was joking.

Zhang Lingyu knew that what she was about to say would affect her future decisions, so fortunately she had already prepared her words before coming in. She then said seriously, "Second Grandfather, ever since I came up the mountain, the family has been constantly nurturing me. Without the family, how could I be who I am today?"

"Now that I've reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, it's time to contribute more to the family!"

"We beg the Second Elder to grant our request!"

Although these words were an attempt to appeal to emotions, they were also sincere. Although these family cultivators could not compare to those of prestigious sects, they were united by bloodline, and even a mortal in the family had his place.

As a clan elder, Zhang Yuanlin had devoted his entire life to clan affairs, valuing the clan more than his own life. Upon hearing these words, his heart trembled, and his eyes welled up with tears.

"Everyone says you're a coward and afraid of death, but seeing you today, I'm quite different. You really are a good child!"

The old man patted the boy on the shoulder and suddenly remembered that Zhang Lingyu had fallen seriously ill three months ago. The cultivators in the clan said that he had suffered a qi deviation and were just about to send someone to treat him when he suddenly recovered on his own!

Not only was he safe and sound, but his personality also changed; he became much more diligent than before!

It's like he's a completely different person!

"Could it be possession?!"

The thought suddenly popped into Zhang Yuanlin's mind. After all, Zhang Lingyu had previously gone out to collect herbs with her clan. It was not impossible that she might have been possessed by another family and infiltrated the Zhang family along the way.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the old man immediately began to probe with his divine sense.

The safety of the family is at stake, so we must proceed with caution.

With his Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he was able to detect nothing unusual when examining someone at the fourth level of Qi Refining!

It took him more than ten breaths to feel at ease.

It should be understood that possession is a demonic act. If a cultivator wants to possess another's body, they must first choose a suitable physical body to avoid incompatibility with the body after possession, which could lead to failure.

The price of failure is annihilation of both body and soul.

Even the most suitable body will have a break-in period; don't expect it to last less than three to five years, or even ten years.

After examining Zhang Lingyu's soul, Zhang Yuanlin found nothing unusual, which meant that the junior's words were sincere.

"Since he has this intention, why not grant his wish?"

After much deliberation, he decided to follow Zhang Lingyu's idea and said with a smile, "Little Nineteen, since you have this idea, I won't say anything. You can go and guard Biyue Town. I'll feel more at ease with your Thirteenth Uncle there."

The old man had been in charge of clan affairs for many years and knew the cultivation methods of every Zhang family cultivator very well. The "Yi Mu Chun Gong" was not very effective in combat, but it was quite useful in terms of spiritual plants.

This would be a win-win situation for both Zhang Lingyu and his family.

Upon hearing where he was to be taken, Zhang Lingyu quickly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much, Second Grandfather. I will certainly do my best!"

He already preferred Bishui Town to Pingshui Town. Bishui Town was next to the Purple Bamboo Forest, and many opportunities appeared in the intelligence system there. He would definitely gain a lot if he went there!

Once the matter was settled, Zhang Yuanlin immediately wrote the appointment document and then summoned a servant to deliver it to Bishui Town.

He then took out a token and handed it to Zhang Lingyu, instructing him, "Little Nineteen, be careful on your way to guard the town. When you arrive, consult your Thirteenth Uncle and the other three brothers on everything. Don't neglect your cultivation."

"This is your pass token. Be sure to keep it safe. As for the array pass token for Biyue Town, your thirteenth uncle will give it to you."

Although spirit rice is not a particularly precious spiritual plant, it is grown in large quantities, and the cultivators in the clan rely on it daily. So the Zhang family set up a level one formation to protect it.

Zhang Lingyu reached out and took the token, saying solemnly, "Second Grandfather, don't worry, I've remembered it!"
