Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

At the Qinglian Pool at Fangmu Mountain, Lin Shiming returned, accompanied by Lin Shijie as well as all the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level Elders, except for Lin Houyuan.

These were indeed the upper echelons of the Lin Family.

Lin Houyong and Lin Houshou, as newly advanced Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, held the positions of the Seventh Elder and Eighth Elder, respectively.

Lin Shiming, in front of a group of elders, respectfully greeted each of them.

Compared to his usual casual and carefree demeanor, Lin Houshou was far more restrained than before, giving a slight nod when Lin Shiming addressed him as Second Uncle.

The chessboard in the pavilion remained, the white pieces still on the brink of death without the turnaround he had anticipated.

The crisis still loomed; the Li Family from Purple Mansion posed a constant threat to the Lin Family!

"Great-grandfather, I think we should go to the Huang Family and take back their Spirit Vein and treasures," Lin Shijie suggested to Lin Yuqi, as Lin Xianzhi hadn't yet arrived.

He had discussed his thoughts with Lin Shiming on the way there, noting that the Huang Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators and the high-level elders of Qi Cultivation Ninth Level were nearly annihilated.

Now was the best time to go to Huangyun Mountain to seize the treasures and take control of their Spirit Vein. Although it would not greatly enhance the Spirit Vein of Fangmu Mountain, the more concentrated the Spiritual Energy, the better.

Lin Shiming affirmed his older brother's words, but he was also clearer on the situation.

Since Lin Xianzhi hadn't rushed to the Huang Family initially, he probably saw something in Huangyun Qi's Storage Bag that gave him pause.

The actions of the Huang Family behind Li Chengzhi of the Li Family, must indicate that something had happened.

"We don't need to go to the Huang Family, the Li Family has long since sent Foundation Establishment Cultivators to help defend," Lin Xianzhi arrived and addressed Lin Shijie's queries.

"Huangyun Qi already took out most of the Huang Family's assets, along with various Secret Techniques, Spirit Stones, and even Spirit Arts!"

"And there is a Heavenly Spirit Fruit tree!"

...

As Lin Xianzhi slowly explained, Lin Shiming also understood why the Huang Family had taken such action; probably the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Li Family took the opportunity to defend Huangyun Mountain when the Huang Family was seeking help.

One must know that the Huang Family was an extremely wealthy Foundation Establishment family; this wasn't much for the Purple Mansion Family, but for the Purple Mansion Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it was still a huge piece of flesh.

"Seventh Great Uncle! I found this in Huang Lingling's Storage Bag!" After pondering for a while, Lin Shiming stepped forward and took out the Formation Artifact Manual jade slip and handed it to Lin Xianzhi. Experience magic at m v le mpyr

But he did not say what the jade slip detailed.

The utilization of formations to enhance Artifact Refining and even Alchemy levels was too shocking and unconventional.

Whether to inform everyone was a decision for the old patriarch to make.

"Oh?" Lin Xianzhi appeared visibly surprised as he received the jade slip, and in the next moment,

Lin Shiming distinctly saw a change in his expression, seemingly equally amazed.

He then exclaimed three praises in a row:

"Good, good, good!"

"Shiming, you have made another great contribution. For this, the family will award you another ten thousand Contribution Points!" Lin Xianzhi praised as he spoke, then with a joyful expression turned to the others.

"I've called everyone here today to announce two matters! First, the family has found the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, and all three main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill have been gathered. Any family member who has given sufficient contributions, and is under the age of sixty, can apply for a Foundation Establishment Pill with sixty thousand Contribution Points!"

After declaring this first matter, everyone from the Lin Family was profoundly shaken, struggling to believe it, especially Lin Houyong.

He was fifty-seven years old, and in three more years he would be over sixty.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would become like these elderly "Hou"-titled elders, forever losing hope in his cultivation path, with his Dao heart permanently sealed.

Every time he thought about this, an unbearable torment would rise within him, giving birth to a rebellious thought.

To leave the Lin Family and use the last three years to search for opportunities.

In this moment, upon hearing Lin Xianzhi's words, he felt an unreal sensation.

He silently recited the Clear Mind Mantra countless times in his heart before he finally managed to suppress his excitement and calm down.

Of course, for the others, this also held extraordinary significance, as Contribution Points could be passed on to descendants, just like Lin Yuqi could transfer his points to Lin Shijie.

Of course, as a dual Spirit Root genius, Lin Shijie also received other preferential family policies.

But for other family cultivators, it was doubtlessly great news.

This meant that within the next few decades, the Lin Family might see the rise of a third or even a fourth Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The clan members wouldn't have to worry about having enough talent but still failing to break through to Foundation Establishment.

The last concern was merely whether there would be enough Foundation Establishment Pills, but for these elders, having any was already a cause for celebration.

"The second matter, the Huang Family is gone, but going forward, our family faces the Purple Mansion Family's Li Family. Therefore, we need to increase our efforts to explore the Qingyun Mountain Range; it's better to take a chance on the opportunities provided by the mountain range than to be cornered by the Li Family,"

"Currently, with my master Zi Xuan Hermit around, the Li Family won't deploy any Purple Mansion cultivators,"

Lin Xianzhi made a point of glancing at Lin Shiming a couple more times as he spoke these words.

Indeed, the family's transformation was greatly related to Lin Shiming.

It was precisely opportunities like Peach Blossom Valley and the Qingyun Mountain Range that allowed the family to significantly improve its finances, its pool of heavenly treasures, and its overall strength.

Cultivators not only needed to keep to themselves, but they also needed to apply their learning, require powerful combat capabilities, in order to truly embark on an extraordinary path of immortality and longevity.

All the Lin Family members nodded in agreement; they naturally had no objections to this.

"Very well, now for the third matter, Yu Qi and Yu Tie, as the Alchemist and Artifact Refining elders, you should increase the training of alchemists and artifact refiners.

The production of Spirit Water from our family's Qinglian Pool has increased, and the seeds of the Green Lotus will also be a substantial and stable income, so there is no need to worry about losses in alchemy and artifact refining!"

"Moreover, increase the remuneration for the family's alchemists and artifact refiners by fifty percent," Lin Xianzhi added to Yu Qi and Yu Tie.

Upon hearing this, all the Lin Family elders were somewhat surprised; training an alchemist required the consumption of numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures. By increasing their remuneration, this would undoubtedly encourage family members to gravitate towards alchemy and artifact refining.

Lin Shiming, however, understood that with the Formation Artifact Manual, if managed well, the Lin Family could gain several Third Rank artifact refiners and alchemists.

This was the fundamental improvement the Lin Family needed to make in its journey from a Foundation Establishment family to a Purple Mansion family.

Finally, Lin Xianzhi distributed a Second Rank supreme grade magic artifact and a thousand Spirit Stones to each member of the Qingxuan City expedition, treasures obtained from Huangyun Qi's Storage Bag.

The Third Rank items were kept by Lin Xianzhi, while the bulk of the remaining cultivation techniques and spiritual materials were deposited in the family's Treasure Pavilion.

Once all matters were dealt with, Lin Xianzhi gestured to end the meeting, but at the same time, he asked Lin Shiming and Lin Yuqing to stay behind.

Lin Shiming was naturally puzzled about why the Seventh Elder asked him to stay; he wondered whether it was about the Jade Slip or the matter with the Huang Family.

But in the next moment, Lin Xianzhi revealed something that greatly shocked Lin Shiming.

"I've examined the Huang Family's Jade Slip and discovered that they had located the legacy cave mansion of a Purple Mansion cultivator, which the Huang Family had already fully explored,"
