Chapter 26 Ling Yuansheng's Careful Thoughts
In the seven-bedroom compound, Ling Youdao was practicing cross-legged in his room.
He has used five of the thirty Huangya Pills he bought from the Guanglu Auction House. With the help of the five Huangya Pills, his cultivation level has improved slightly compared to before.
But the eighth level of Qi training is still far away!
Ling Youdao finished his practice, stood up and walked to the table on the side of the room, took out a celadon tea cup, and transformed a ball of water into his hand, with a ball of flame wrapped around the outside of the water.
In just one or two breaths, the water was boiled, the flames dissipated, and the boiled tea flowed into the celadon tea cup, no more, no less, just full.
Ling Youdao picked up the celadon tea cup and took a sip. The boiling water stayed in his mouth. He thought about it for a long time before swallowing it.
"It would be better to have some spiritual tea leaves."
After drinking the boiled water, he left his house.
"According to the customs in the world of immortality, twenty is considered an adult, and I will be twenty in half a month; according to the family's rules, clan members need to give back to the family after they reach adulthood.
Every once in a while, I need to complete certain family tasks. After receiving the family tasks, I can leave Cangli Island in an upright manner without having to beg the old man."
When he thought of this, Ling Youdao felt excited.
Although he has been to Cangli Island several times over the years, because he cannot go too far away from Cangli Island, he has been wandering around within a thousand miles of Cangli Island.
And even within this thousand miles, he has never been to many places because of his lack of time.
Ling Youdao went to Yaolu. Ling Yuansheng was his biological grandfather. He needed to be asked about his adulthood.
When Ling Youdao walked into Yaolu, he saw Ling Yuansheng wearing a gray cloud robe, sitting in Yaoxiang Pavilion and drinking spiritual tea leisurely.
He walked into Yaoxiang Pavilion, looked at Ling Yuansheng and asked doubtfully: "Grandpa knew that his grandson was coming early in the morning?"
Ling Yuansheng smiled and said: "You still need to ask me about the coming-of-age ceremony. You kid has long wanted to escape from grandpa's clutches, so you will naturally come to me."
Ling Youdao said in admiration: "Sure enough, ginger is still spicy when old."
Ling Yuansheng looked proud, but he thought in his heart, "I can't possibly tell you that I've been waiting here for half a month, right?
You kid didn't act according to common sense and didn't wait until now to ask me, causing me to wait here for half a month in vain."
He said calmly: "Sit down."
Ling Youdao sat on the stone stool opposite Ling Yuansheng and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, what is my coming-of-age ceremony?"
“It must be done, and it must be done in a big way!”
Ling Youdao knew that a coming-of-age ceremony must be held, but he never thought that the old man would hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for him. He asked in confusion: "Grandpa, my grandson thinks there is no need to make it so grand."
Ling Yuansheng said with a straight face: "Grandpa, you are the only three grandchildren, and you have lost your parents since you were a child. How can I wrong you?"
"Forehead……"
He was an orphan in the Earth Age. Relying on government relief and through his unremitting efforts, he was admitted to a fairly good university and found a stable job.
But because I don’t have a house or a car, I haven’t been able to get married, so naturally I can’t feel that kind of family affection.
I have had bad luck in this life. When I was two years old, my parents were killed.
But fortunately, he still has his grandfather, uncles, brothers and sisters, who take good care of Ling Youdao.
At this moment, Ling Youdao could feel the love from Ling Yuansheng. Even though there was a generation between them, the love was still very strong.
"Your uncles, as well as Youwei Youqian, all have family duties, so don't let them come back.
However, you have to invite the foundation-building elders on the island, so you might as well receive some adult gifts and accumulate some cultivation resources, which will be of great help to you in the future."
He nodded and said with a smile: "Grandpa, my grandson listens to you. Whatever you say should be done, then do it."
Ling Yuansheng nodded with satisfaction!
Later, he and Ling Yuansheng discussed some details of the coming-of-age ceremony.
How can I get those foundation-building elders to give me a coming-of-age ceremony?
Ling Youdao thought of a way. When the time came, he would personally serve tea to all the foundation-building elders. The foundation-building elders were his elders, so naturally he would give them something.
After hearing Ling Youdao's idea, Ling Yuansheng praised him for his clever mind.
Ling Yuansheng took out the spiritual tea he usually drank, and Ling Youdao took out twenty-five topaz snow pears.
"Well, we can just get some monster meat later."
Looking at the topaz snow pear in Ling Youdao's hand, Ling Yuansheng said with emotion: "This topaz snow pear tree was one of the gifts I gave to your father and your mother when we became a Taoist couple.
Now they are gone, but the tree is still there and can still help you."
He suddenly changed the subject, "Okay, don't worry, your coming-of-age ceremony will be organized for you by grandpa. Your spiritual roots are not as good as those of the children with double spiritual roots in the family. With this coming-of-age ceremony, grandpa will try to help you."
Get more training resources."
Hearing this, Ling Youdao solemnly said: "Thank you, grandpa!"
Ling Yuansheng smiled and said, "What are you talking about? When grandpa was still young, your great-grandpa also loved grandpa so much."
Ling Youdao was stunned. Although immortal cultivators have a life span of more than a hundred years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, ordinary people only have a few decades.
But the family affection between mortals is indeed stronger than that between immortals!
At this moment, he was somewhat grateful that his grandfather was born in a mortal world. Because of this, he loved his grandson so much.
"You go ahead."
"Um!"
Ling Youdao left Yaolu and walked slowly all the way. He kept thinking about Ling Yuansheng's kindness to him over the years.
Before he knew it, he had returned to his yard.
Looking at the yellow jade snow pear tree in the yard, he made a decision. He suppressed his cultivation to the sixth level of Qi training, which would make Ling Yuansheng happy.
On the other side of the story, after Ling Youdao left, Ling Yuansheng immediately took action.
He personally wrote several invitations and used his flying sword to send letters. All the foundation-building monks on Cangli Island received his invitations.
Outside the Shanggong Hall, Ling Jieran opened the invitation.
"What's the point of this Yuansheng? It's just a coming-of-age ceremony for a junior, how can it be used like this? That's fine, we'll just go and take a look when the time comes."
The invitation disappeared from his hand, and he closed his eyes again.
At the pier by the beach, Ling Yuangu was supervising iron smelting, looking at the invitation letter in his hand.
"People of the same clan still do it so formally, huh? It's the coming-of-age ceremony for that boy Youdao. Why does he want me to go to his coming-of-age ceremony? Forget it, I'll find out when the time comes."
Ling Yuanqi also received the invitation, "You want me to attend that kid's coming-of-age ceremony? Could it be that Fifth Brother wants to help his kid kill me, right?"
The reason why Ling Yuansheng invited the foundation-building elders on Cangli Island to attend Ling Youdao's coming-of-age ceremony was to get him some coming-of-age gifts, which were resources for cultivation. After all, Ling Youdao's qualifications were only average.
