Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

All the Elders and Hall Masters couldn't help but turn their attention to Lin Shiming.

The policy of double and triple salaries was proposed by Lin Shiming, and the overall effect seemed to be excellent. The Lin Family not only saw an increase in Dual Spirit Root Cultivators, but also the emergence of unusual Spirit Roots, especially the Third Spirit Roots, which had increased by a large number.

In the past, such proportions were unthinkable, not to mention occurring within a mere twenty-some years.

All these had been brought about by Lin Shiming to the family.

At the same time, the change in cultivation level within the family in the past decade had also far exceeded previous times.

Cultivators of immortal cultivation should be indifferent to fame and fortune, but that does not mean being aloof from worldly affairs. Embarking on the path of cultivation means constantly competing with others and with the heavens.

The incentives of the Lin Family were precisely what thoroughly stimulated the diligent hearts of the Lin Family Clan's children.

However, these policies were also consuming a large amount of the family's resources.

Cancelling or limiting these policies would cause a sensation within the Lin Family Clan.

Given the current situation, although the Lin Family's finances could support it, if the Golden Iron Crystal mines were to be exhausted in the future, financial difficulties would arise again.

Moreover, presently, three people from the Lin Family are in closed-door Foundation Establishment; Lin Houwei of the "Hou" generation being the thirteenth, Lin Houshou of the "Hou" generation being the second, and Lin Shiyi of the "Shi" generation being the second. If their Foundation Establishment were to be successful, the family's salaries would once again increase.

Furthermore, if the family's Foundation Establishment cultivators require the family to refine Third Rank elixirs and Magic Artifacts, the Lin Family's financial income will be affected as well.

It must be understood that Third Rank elixirs and Magic Artifacts are not something that can be completed in a few days; they often require months of refining, and in the absence of a real Third Rank Artifact Refiner, refining a Third Rank Magic Artifact can deplete a cultivator's life force.

"The double and triple salaries will remain unchanged, and the family's birth policy will also remain the same!"

Facing the many gazes, Lin Shiming spoke calmly:

"In addition, the family's Artifact Refiners and Alchemists still need to be vigorously cultivated.

From now on, any elixirs or magic artifacts refined by family cultivators outside of the Earth Fire Hall will be bought by the family at a price that is ninety percent above market price, and the spiritual materials and objects consumed will only need to be purchased from the family at fifty percent of the market price!"

The words of Lin Shiming once again shocked all the Elders and Hall Masters.

If so, the family's Artifact Refiners and Alchemists would have even greater earnings, but this also meant that the family's income would decrease.

But before they could recover from their shock, Lin Shiming had already spoken again:

"In addition to the Alchemy and Artifact Refining Hall, the family needs to establish a Spirit Plant hall, a Talisman Making hall, and a Teaching hall!"

"Like the Artifact Refiners and Alchemists, the Spirit Plant Masters and Talisman Makers will receive the same scale of support. As for the Teaching hall, it is specially designed for the family's innate children to teach and educate, without limiting the content.

However, family's Qi Cultivation Ninth Level cultivators must teach at least five times each year, and Foundation Establishment cultivators must teach at least once!"

If his previous words were slightly shocking, this time, everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Lin Houyuan was somewhat taken aback by Lin Shiming's actions at this moment, finding them a bit crazy.

The Teaching Hall was still feasible, requiring only a day of the family's cultivator's time.

However, the Talisman Making Hall was a different matter. The family did not have much heritage in this area, which meant high trial and error costs. The amount of resources that would be spent if this were implemented was easy to imagine.

After Lin Shiming finished speaking, he looked towards his Seventh Great-Uncle.

"It's feasible!" After mulling it over, Lin Xianzhi nodded in agreement.

Leaving aside that Lin Shiming's initiative was perfecting the Lin Family, and its benefits were both immediate and for the future,

Even if it were an unreasonable initiative, he would still support Lin Shiming.

His time was running short, and the future protector of the Lin Family would be Lin Shiming.

The other Elders and Hall Masters, at this moment, were all wearing faces of confusion.

The issue of the family stipend has yet to be resolved, yet new expenses have emerged.

However, since Lin Xianzhi agreed, the Elders and Hall Masters also held their tongues.

"I assure all the uncles and Elder Hall Masters that Shiming is not a reckless person!" Lin Shiming broke the silence and spoke.

"The family will soon have another financial income!"

"Moreover, it will be the foundation that truly establishes our Lin Family as part of the Purple Mansion Family!"

With Lin Shiming's announcement, it was Lin Xianzhi who was the first to show a change of expression.

Upon hearing Lin Shiming's words, he immediately realized that Lin Shiming had ascertained the situation on the other side of the Transmission Formation.

Suddenly, his face turned from unpleasant to resigned.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming instantly understood that his Seventh Great-Uncle might have thought he recklessly put himself in danger, feeling angry yet also unable to reprimand him because Lin Shiming had distinguished himself time and again!

"Seventh Great-Uncle, Shiming tested the waters as a Loose Cultivator and took all necessary precautions!" Lin Shiming explained, which made Lin Xianzhi look slightly more appeased.

The other Elders and Hall Masters were utterly baffled!

Lin Shiming also talked about the discovery of the Transmission Formation, the methods of probing, and how he finally learned from a Loose Cultivator of the opportunities and development potential of the island.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

At that moment, Lin Xianzhi was also deeply moved.

If the island had no Purple Mansion Demon King, the development opportunity would be enormous for the Lin Family.

Moreover, it meant that whatever dangers the Lin Family faced, they would have a way out.

The other family Elders were also ecstatic.

If there was such an island, the more than five hundred Cultivators of the Lin Family, even if they became a thousand in the future, need not worry.

Furthermore, the Demon Hunting Team could still go demon hunting in the sea.

This would greatly alleviate the stress on future cultivation of various Spirit Beasts and the developmental needs of the family.

Not to mention, there were many Water Spirit Coconuts on the island, including a Third Rank Coconut King!

"Good, Shiming, you have made another significant contribution. However, everyone present must keep this matter confidential. Additionally, the matter of the island should not be delayed and we should set out as soon as possible. Shitao and Hou Yuan, stay behind. The Demon Hunting Team will also go!" Lin Xianzhi was incredibly excited.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, Shiming has another matter concerning the family's competition!" Lin Shiming cautiously added.

"The Lin Family has grown rapidly, but its true combat power remains unknown. The Sea Cloud Birds, Profound Turtles, and seals on the island could be a suitable time for the family's youth competition!" Lin Shiming stated.

He spoke these words with deep sentiment.

During the invasion by the Demon Sect, the Lin Family lost a great many of their thirty-odd members. Despite the protection of Xie An, things actually went quite well, but still, most of the deceased were late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators. He later realized those who had fallen were the ones who hadn't undergone much hardship or lacked sufficient combat prowess.

Now that he had returned, he would not allow the Lin Family's Cultivators to continue as they had before.

Hearing this, the other Elders and Hall Masters also nodded in approval.

The family's competition was indeed approaching soon.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, dear uncles and Elder Hall Masters, Shiming suggests selecting the top eight from the Qi Cultivation mid-stage and the top six from the Qi Cultivation late-stage for the upcoming grand competition.

Ultimately, we will designate the Lin Family's five champions: three from the Qi Cultivation late-stage and two from the mid-stage, considering only Cultivators under the age of sixty!" Lin Shiming proposed.

Upon hearing this, the assembly of Elders and Hall Masters nodded in agreement.

"Without delay, let's make the arrangements. Declare to the outside that this competition is divided into external and internal bouts, with the internal ones taking place in the Qingyun Mountain range!"
