Chapter 252: Establishing a Household

His father finally reacted completely and said: "No need to be too far away, just about one hundred zhang next to our courtyard! In the future, if there are grandchildren, we can help take care of them!"

His aunt said with a smile: "Look, my big brother is already thinking about the grandchildren's problem. Maybe when he rests at night, he will start thinking about what names to give the grandchildren!"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this.

Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment and also said: "That's right, it's good to be nearby, it's convenient for us to come back and eat the spirit meal Mom makes!"

This time, everyone burst into even louder laughter.

When his mother heard Lin Zhangqing say this, she was also very happy and gratified, proving that her son wouldn't forget his mother after taking a Dao companion!

The matter was settled like this. When the time came, his father would step forward to find the Third Elder of the Affairs Hall.

They would entrust them to find a suitable place nearby to build a courtyard for Lin Zhangqing. They had this business, and they were quite professional.

After deciding, Grandfather told everyone not to talk about this matter to outsiders until it was completely settled, and then he called Lin Zhangqing out.

The grandfather and grandson came to the secret room of Grandfather's house. As soon as the two sat down.

Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but ask: "Grandfather, why didn't Second Uncle come back? Where did he go?"

Grandfather chuckled: "Isn't it your own strategy of 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows'? Can't you guess what he went to do?"

"Including your Fourteenth Uncle, Lin Maoxiang, after he recovers from his injuries, he will also lead some suitable clansmen to execute this task. The Foundation Establishment Fruits you gave were also mostly given to these two groups, so their strength will not be weak, you can rest assured! Of course, their specific location cannot be told to you. When there is a chance in the future, you will naturally see your Second Uncle and the others again, so don't keep asking now!"

Lin Zhangqing heard this and could only nod, indicating he understood.

Next, it was Grandfather's turn to ask Lin Zhangqing. He roughly told him everything that happened on the road during this task, of course, only the parts that could be told.

Lin Zhangqing understood that not telling his family the secrets was the greatest protection for them.

Of course, he knew that Grandfather mainly wanted to know how deep the feelings were between him and Chen Zi Ya, so he told Grandfather everything he could about their relationship.

After Grandfather finished listening to Lin Zhangqing's description, he nodded and kept considering something.

Finally, after looking at Lin Zhangqing, he said: "Regarding the matter of opening a shop in Qingyun Market that you mentioned today, after we discussed it, we felt it could be done."

"However, both the Clan Leader and I do not agree with you managing this shop."

Lin Zhangqing opened his eyes in disbelief and asked very surprised: "Why don't you agree with me managing that shop? This is crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!"

Grandfather glared at him and said: "Don't talk nonsense. There are several reasons for not letting you go!"

"First, no matter what, you are only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Qi Refining small cultivator, and Qingyun Market is extremely far from Nine Peaks Mountain. In case something happens, it will be beyond reach."

"Secondly, there are several clansmen in the family specifically responsible for operating shops. To completely set them aside and let you manage a new shop is unjustifiable."

"Of course, if you were really sent there, it would make them think that the family does not recognize the achievements they made in the past, and it is also a negation of those few people."

"Thirdly, both the Clan Leader and I believe that compared to letting you go out to earn a few thousand or ten thousand spirit stones for the family every year, letting you stay peacefully on the Ancestral Mountain to cultivate is more important! Finally, you and Zi Ya are already in mutual love, and I think you two should not be stuck together so often."

"At the very least, before you officially become Dao companions, it is better to keep some distance!"

After hearing what Grandfather said, Lin Zhangqing already knew he couldn't go!

But he still couldn't help asking: "Then who will be sent to manage that shop?"

Grandfather pondered for a moment before saying: "Who exactly will go to manage the shop has not been decided yet. We will know after a period of time! Moreover, this matter is not urgent now. The family's main energy still needs to be handled first regarding the attack on your Fourteenth Uncle. Someone must pay the price."

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "I can not fight for the management of this shop, but next time you go to Qingyun Market, you must take me!"

Grandfather frowned and said: "Take you for what?"

"I promised Chen Zi Ya that I would become the shopkeeper of the market shop. Now that this matter cannot be done!"

"Then I must explain it clearly to her in person, otherwise I'm afraid she will think wildly!" Lin Zhangqing resolved.

Grandfather nodded this time and didn't say anything more, which was considered tacitly agreeing to Lin Zhangqing's request! Lin Zhangqing then took out a jade box from his storage bag and handed it to Grandfather.

After Grandfather took it and opened it, he introduced: "Grandfather, the three jade slips inside are all the harvest this time."

"Among them, the most important 'Heavy Water Wave Control Sutra' and 'Fire Phoenix Nirvana Sutra' are both Heaven-grade cultivation methods, which can be cultivated up to the Great Perfection of Deity Transformation."

"Another one is a set of third-grade spirit planter inheritance, which can reach the late third-grade at the highest. Grandfather will definitely like it!"

"What did you say?" Grandfather was dumbfounded, and then he reacted immediately. He took one of the jade slips, pressed it against his forehead, and read it directly.

After a while, he switched to another jade slip and continued reading. Grandfather read quite carefully, taking almost over an hour.

After reading all three jade slips, Grandfather endured his excitement and asked: "These two cultivation methods, and the third-grade spirit planter inheritance, are all too important. How do you plan to arrange them?"

Lin Zhangqing had already thought about it and said directly to Grandfather: "The 'Heavy Water Wave Control Sutra' requires heavy water of various grades for cultivation. First and second grades are fine, but after the third grade, it is too hard to seek!"

"So I think it's better to keep it at home. After all, the consumption of resources for this cultivation method is too great, and ordinary cultivators cannot afford to cultivate it."

"The 'Fire Phoenix Nirvana Sutra' has relatively high requirements for fire-attribute spirit roots. We can copy the cultivation methods for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, change a name, and put it into the family Scripture Pavilion."

"In the future, if someone really cultivates this cultivation method, as long as the person is fine, Grandfather can step in and give them the subsequent cultivation methods bit by bit! The spirit planter inheritance goes without saying, it must be copied and put into the family Scripture Pavilion. Grandfather and Aunt will definitely be able to use this!"

After saying this, he took out another storage bag, handed it to Grandfather, and continued: "Inside is the important resource, heavy water, needed for cultivating the 'Heavy Water Wave Control Sutra'."

"Among them, there is quite a lot of first and second-grade heavy water, and there is only a small amount of third-grade heavy water, but it is completely enough for one person to cultivate."

"I think the 'Heavy Water Wave Control Sutra' should be given to Mother to cultivate, and the 'Fire Phoenix Nirvana Sutra' should be given to Lin Changling to cultivate. Her fire spirit root aptitude is so good, cultivating this cultivation method will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Grandfather thought for a moment and nodded: "It is indeed most appropriate to give them to the two of them to cultivate. Then I will step in and give it to them!"

Lin Zhangqing laughed and nodded: "That's right, that's what I meant! This way, as long as we buy metal-attribute and earth-attribute cultivation methods at Wanbao Pavilion, then our family's cultivation method problem will be completely solved!"

Grandfather nodded and said: "After your father and Second Uncle finished Foundation Establishment, we already went to Wanbao Pavilion together to pick out cultivation methods."

"It's just that we didn't buy them all at once. Both of them only bought cultivation methods for the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. We will go buy the subsequent ones later."

"This way, we don't have to take out so many spirit stones at once! The pressure won't be so great!"

"So Father and Second Uncle have already exchanged for cultivation methods. That's great. In what way were they bought? Were they one-time, or can they be passed down within the family?"

Grandfather glared at him and said unhappily: "Of course they were one-time. For those that can be passed down forever, the price is ten times that of one-time ones, and some high-grade ones are even more! Only if one has so many spirit stones that they are burning their hands would they spend like that!"
