Seeing that all the elders of the Xu family are present.

"Let's all choose an auspicious time to bury Guan Shan, and enshrine the eighth generation patriarch's soul in the ancestral home."

Xu Faxuan also thought for a while and said.

"Before burying Guan Shan, let's elect the ninth generation patriarch of the family."

No one had any reaction after hearing this, but Xu Taiyan's expression moved.

The patriarch is responsible for the entire family and the development and growth of the Xu family.

At the same time, one must have the ability to convince others and good cultivation.

The great elder has ignored clan affairs for many years, so he will definitely not be the clan leader.

Currently, the only ones that fit the criteria are the second elder Xu Guanhai and the Xu family's only female cultivator, the third elder Xu Qingying, both of whom are at the fifth level of spiritual refining.

Although there is no rule that female nuns cannot become clan leaders, Xu Qingying, the third elder, is also someone who does not want to be overly involved in clan affairs.

Basically, I only have ascetic cultivators in my heart, otherwise I wouldn’t have a family now.

Everyone looked at the second elder Xu Guanhai.

Xu Guanhai also smiled bitterly. It was not that he was unwilling to take on this responsibility, but he felt that he was not the material.

He didn't even handle some issues as well as Xu Yi.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xu Yi, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I think Xu Taiyi is the most suitable to take over the position of patriarch."

As Xu Guanhai spoke, everyone began to consider it seriously.

Not to mention, Xu Taiyi is indeed suitable to be the clan leader.

He is currently the person with the highest cultivation level in the family, except for the clan leader. Although his spiritual cultivation level is only at the second level, his combat power is outstanding.

He obviously has leadership qualities, and at the critical moment just now, he entered into negotiations in a timely manner.

He is the youngest and can bring more different ideas to the family.

Xu Faxuan's eyes also lit up, and he considered that it was indeed appropriate for Xu Taiyi to take over as the clan leader.

Thinking of this, I decided not to discuss it anymore.

"Then it is announced that Xu Taiyi will take over as the ninth generation patriarch!"

Everyone showed recognition and blessings, except Xu Yi who was still a little confused.

What's going on? Ever since the second uncle told him to take over as the clan leader, everyone has decided to make him the head of the Xu family. What's going on!!

"Wait a minute, why did you decide so quickly? I haven't thought about it yet. I think it would be great for my second uncle to be the clan leader!"

Everyone was amused by Xu Yi's words, which slightly diluted their sad mood.

"Everyone has considered it, and you are the most suitable."

Xu Guanhai quickly answered.

Xu Faxuan also looked at Xu Yi seriously.

"It's too easy. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

"Since you have the ability, you must be brave enough to take on this responsibility. The Xu family is currently in a precarious situation. You must lead the Xu family to regain the prosperity of the past!"

Looking at the serious Great Elder in front of him, Xu Yi was also full of enthusiasm (a certain famous saying in his previous life was said by the Great Elder, and he almost thought that he was also reborn).

Once again, I looked into everyone's eyes one by one. Everyone's eyes were full of seriousness, approval, blessing and hope.

Once here, Xu Yi no longer hesitated, looked at everyone and said seriously.

"I, Xu Taiyi, am willing to take over as the ninth generation patriarch of the Xu family. I will serve the family wholeheartedly and lead the entire Xu family to go better and further on the path of cultivation in this world. I will never let down the family.

Looking forward to everyone’s support!”

When everyone heard Xu Yi's words, they all looked at him. Even Xu Taiyan was sincerely convinced.

This is the patriarch of the Xu family!

It was as if he saw that the family would become stronger in the near future, as if he saw the Xu Mansion located above Linghai Town.

All the elders, including the great elder, bowed in unison: "I have met the clan leader!"

Xu Yi hurriedly helped them up one by one, "Grandfather, second uncle, aunt, fourth uncle, brother, don't you dare!!"

"You are all my grandfather, uncle, aunt, and eldest brother, how can you bow to me!"

"Tai Yi, the clan has clan rules. Since you have become the leader of the clan, you must have the majesty of the clan leader."

The great elder patiently taught Xu Yi what he needed to know as a clan leader.

Twenty or thirty years ago, Xu Yi became a leader for the first time in his previous life, plus twenty years in this life. He was also the head of a clan, and he was also frightened.

Listening to the great elder's teachings humbly, everyone wisely avoided the two of them and began to surround Xu Guanhai to ask for more details during the tribute period.

Because the Xu family is now just a poor family, there are not so many rules, mainly about the inheritance of skills and techniques.

More knowledge requires Xu Yi to spend time feeling and understanding.

For example, the most important inheritances of the Xu family are:

One is the most important fragment of "Yimu Peach Spirit Method", which contains the method of attracting spirits;

One book is [Kui Shui Peach Spirit Art], which only has spirit refining techniques, and can only be practiced to the fifth level of spirit refining.

The [Body Tempering Technique] practiced by Xu Yi is also incomplete.

There is also the incomplete secret book that the ancestors of the Xu family acquired at the expense of their family's luck.

There are also two spells, namely the spell [Thousand Leaf Palm] and [Nine Heavens Flash] Fragments.

There are also other things such as family resources, industry, spiritual fields, and other various things.

Some have been stored secretly in the ancestral home, and only the great elders and clan leaders know about them, and some are kept in the family's storage bag or the clan leader's storage bag.

The patriarch's storage bag was directly handed over to Xu Yi by the great elder.

After Xu Yi listened to what the great elder said just now, he was shocked and confused.

The Xu family, a poor family, also has a lot of assets and resources, and there are three to four thousand clan members that need to be led and managed.

Xu Yi also had a lot of things he didn't understand about the laws and techniques, which he needed to understand on his own.

After taking over as the clan leader, there will be a lot of matters that Xu Yi needs to deal with.

The most important thing at the moment is the burial and enthronement of the former clan leader.

Another important thing is that although Xu Yi has the support of many elders as the clan leader, he still has to choose an auspicious day to worship his ancestors and tell all the clan members that a new clan member has ascended the throne.

There is no time to think about other things, everything has been busy these days, and the Zhou family and Wu family are in a similar situation.

A suitable day was chosen to let the deceased rest in peace, and the Xu family also set up a memorial tablet for the former patriarch to enshrine.

When it is over, the Xu family will once again choose a day to worship their ancestors and ascend the throne. The next most important thing is for the new patriarch of the Xu family to succeed to the throne.

Normally, other forces in Leping Village would send people to observe.

Except for Taoist Huang Yu, who came back not long ago, he came to observe and sent congratulatory gifts on behalf of the casual cultivators.

No one from the Zhou family or the Wu family appeared in the Xu family's ancestor worship ceremony.

However, given the current tense relationship between the two families, Xu Yi also believed that the best result would be for the two families not to come out.

Half a month has passed. During this time, Xu Yi was preparing to worship his ancestors while learning from the great elder how to manage a clan.

He also applied what he learned to the practice of clan leader management. He made rapid progress and now can basically handle clan affairs in a decent manner.

It also gained a lot of knowledge in cultivation, especially as a clan leader who had to master many surrounding forces and some big aristocratic families in the area.

The Great Elder also had no time to recuperate during this period. After all, ancestor worship also requires his full participation and support.

At the same time, it also sends a signal to the outside world, "He Xu Faxuan is very good!"

"I will need to retreat for the next few years to recuperate."

"Leave all family matters to the patriarch!"

"If you don't understand anything, you can talk to a few elders."

As soon as the ancestor worship was over, the great elder immediately told everyone to prepare for retreat in the ancestral home to recuperate.

Several elders did not expect that the eldest elder could persist for such a long time despite being so seriously injured, supporting the family as the Dinghai Shenzhen at such a critical time.

"Don't worry, Grandfather, I will never let you and the family down!"
