Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints
Chapter 903 - 558 Lin Family Development, Returning Home Ambition (Two in One for Monthly Subscription Votes)_2

"Elder Jiuxiao, I apologize for the trouble!" Lin Shiming gave a saluting gesture toward Jiuxiao True Person, and then handed over a storage bag to him.

"Elder Jiuxiao, this is the Spiritual Wine distributed by Coral Island, and True Person, you have a share too!" Lin Shiming passed the wine and did not give Jiuxiao True Person a chance to refuse.

Jade Pure Dew is not something that you can drink at any time.

According to Lin Shizhong, the master of the Lin Family's Artifact Refining Hall, Jiuxiao True Person always drinks before refining artifacts.

This time with the Jade Pure Dew, I hope the Eternal Night Umbrella can be upgraded again, and something good can be refined from the skin of the Blood Leech Demon King.

"Shiming, next, I want to refine a Fifth Rank Spirit Boat War Treasure Ship; the wreckage of that War Treasure Ship from a few days ago has given me great inspiration!" Jiuxiao True Person spoke.

"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Jiuxiao!" Lin Shiming couldn't help but give a wry smile.

Jiuxiao True Person is still so eager, as if he always feels he hasn't done enough for the Lin Family.

But this is precisely what Lin Shiming values even more about Jiuxiao True Person.

After all, there is no shortage of cultivators in this world who, after they advance to Golden Core, start to put on airs with their main family.

This is also why many families always hold something back when facing cultivators who marry into the family or become Guest Elders.

Lin Shiming left Qinglian Peak and arrived at the Family Clan's Council Hall, where Lin Zewen was among those inside.

At the moment, they were dealing with various matters.

Lin Shiming wasn't in a hurry, preferring to wait for them.

However, as soon as Lin Zewen and the others saw Lin Shiming arrive, they all stopped what they were doing.

"Uncle Seven!" Lin Zewen spoke up, and the other Deacon Elders also started speaking.

Among them, most belong to the Ze generation, interspersed with a few promising members of the Yan generation.

There are currently none from the Chang generation, but there are good prospects, with each Deacon Elder bringing quite a few Chang generation cultivator descendants.

And up to today, the members of the Lin Family's Ze generation have also reached over a hundred years old.

"Zewen, how are the Family's Alchemists, Array Masters, Artifact Refiners, and Spirit Talisman Masters now?" Lin Shiming asked directly upon seeing them stop.

"Uncle Seven, this is..." Lin Zewen's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.

Lin Shiming asking this question signifies the possibility of war; the greatest losses sustained by a family clan during a war are not only from cultivators, but also from all sorts of spirit materials.

There are no beast tides currently, so what lies in front of the Lin Family is the chance to return home.

Return to the Eastern Domain!

Although this concept of returning home has not been brought up in over a hundred years, it remains a heavy stone in the hearts of the Lin Family's Hou, Shi, and Ze generations.

Now that they have become a Golden Core Family, many cultivators are also looking forward to this moment.

Lin Shiming nodded, without saying much. However, this nod sent Lin Zewen into ecstatic joy.

Fortunately, as the Family Head over these years, he had decent composure and quickly suppressed the excitement.

"Among the Family's certified Alchemists now, we have one Supreme Grade Fourth Rank Alchemist, that is Auntie Seven. There are six Inferior Grade Fourth Rank Alchemists, five of whom have broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment by using the Formation Artifact Manual, with the remaining one being Uncle Fifteen, Lin Houxuan, who has just broken through the Purple Mansion and will likely soon advance to Intermediate Grade Fourth Rank Alchemist. As for Superior Grade Third Rank Alchemists, the family has forty-eight, with three of them also ready to use the Formation Artifact Manual to break through to the Fourth Rank of Alchemy. As for Second Rank Alchemists, we have three hundred and eighty in the family, and this does not even include those unranked, since many family members also practice alchemy, though they do not earn Contribution Points from it in the Lin Family!"

Lin Shiming nodded upon hearing this; his uncle fifteen, Lin Houxuan's recent breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, was good news indeed.

This relative faced quite some difficulties when breaking through to Foundation Establishment but was exceptionally smooth in breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

As for the family using the Formation Artifact Manual, Lin Shiming shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Using the Formation Artifact Manual too much can affect breakthroughs, but now the majority of Lin Family members are using the Formation Artifact Manual to break through in the realm of Alchemy.

This can enhance their Divine Sense.

As long as it's used sparingly, it can indeed be beneficial.

"Among the Family's Artifact Refiners, there is one Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner, who is Elder Jiuxiao. There are three Fourth Rank Artifact Refiners: Uncle Thirteen Lin Houwei, Uncle Thirty-Five Lin Houfei who's at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and Lin Shizhong, the head of the Artifact Refining Hall. The latter is also honing his True Yuan and preparing to break through to the Purple Mansion. However, we have thirty-eight late-stage Third Rank Artifact Refiners, among which a dozen might be able to use the Formation Artifact Manual to refine Fourth Rank Magical Artifacts. And there are eighty-nine Third Rank Artifact Refiners, even more than our Alchemists!"

"As for the Spirit Talisman Masters, the Family currently has two Fourth Rank Spirit Talisman Masters, Yu Jing who just broke through to the Purple Mansion, and Uncle Shijin who is currently making the breakthrough. We have twenty-eight Third Rank Spirit Talisman Masters; additionally, there are twenty family tributes who are also Third Rank Talisman Crafters. Apart from this, there is Uncle Shijin's daughter, Lin Zehong, who has an outstanding talent for Spirit Talismans. She has just broken through to Foundation Establishment but can already craft Intermediate Grade Second Rank Spirit Talismans!"

"Regarding the Array Masters, the Family currently has one Supreme Grade Fourth Rank Array Master, that is Grandfather Two, Lin Houshou. There are two Intermediate Grade Fourth Rank Array Masters, Uncle Shiyun and Brother Zelu. There are eight Inferior Grade Fourth Rank Array Masters; however, all of these eight need the Formation Artifact Manual. There are also twenty-eight Third Rank Array Masters!"

...

Lin Zewen introduced each one, causing Lin Shiming to nod, but then shake his head.

He nodded because these advancements had been made, but shook his head because the development speed of the Lin Family's four major skills was still slow.

But it was unavoidable.

In the past, there were many skill masters in the Lin Family because there were few resources. Most of the family members needed skills to support their cultivation. In contrast, the Lin Family now has an abundance of resources.

The progression of the masters of the four major skills was slower as a result.

This was especially true for the cultivators with high talent.

And there was also internal competition within the Lin Family.

It wasn't noticeable on ordinary days, but now that the Lin Family was gathering war resources and tallying up numbers, it became clear.

One must know that the Lin Family now had two Golden Core cultivators, a dozen or so Purple Mansion cultivators, and five to six hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And there was the Formation Artifact Manual.

"Zewen, revise the clan rules and increase the stipends of the masters of the four major skills by double!" declared Lin Shiming.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zewen was taken aback, but then he nodded in agreement.

His surprise was due to the fact that the current stipends of the Lin Family were far higher than those of other families.

Moreover, the Lin Family's policy of encouraging multiple offspring was still in place. Had it been any other family, they would have long since halted such a policy.

Now, by increasing the income of the skill masters, it undoubtedly posed a greater test to the family's finances.

Both Lin Zewen and Lin Yanjiao could see the shortage of skill masters, but they were powerless to change it.

Because they too were beneficiaries of this policy.

Asking them to study and become Alchemists or Artifact Refiners was something they couldn't achieve.

After all, every member of the Lin Family could now look forward to the path of immortality, unlike before when even Foundation Establishment Pills had to be fought over desperately.

However, this slight flaw was, to Lin Shiming, not significant.

In the future, within the Coral Alliance, the Lin Family would either be in charge of Lianyun Island or Golden Thunder Island.

After all, the current Golden Core combat power of the Lin Family was not insignificant; when the time came, the shortage would not be in resources, but in cultivator talent!

And among these, the masters of the four major skills were of utmost importance!

Moreover, this time, by agreement with Kuangfeng True Person, he could inherit Kuangfeng's lineage.

That would include Sixth Rank Alchemy inheritance, Sixth Rank Spiritual Cuisine inheritance, and Sixth Rank Artifact Refining inheritance.

"Furthermore, our Spirit Plant Hall, Spiritual Cuisine Hall, to even the Spirit Puppet Hall and Beast Taming Hall, the Spirit-Seeking Hall as well!" Lin Shiming spoke again.

If they were slightly surprised before, they were now utterly shocked.

Spirit Plant, Beast Taming, Spirit Puppet, and Spirit-Seeking skills were considered to be somewhat esoteric.

However, upon Lin Shiming's words, Lin Zewen still nodded in agreement.

"Zewen, pay more attention to Lianyun Island. Try to incorporate it into the Lin Family's territories. The Lin Family currently needs more mines and secret realms!"

"In the next hundred years, I hope that our Lin Family can transition from just barely entering the threshold of a Golden Core Family to one that can compare with the former status of Red Leaf Island's great Golden Core Clan!" Lin Shiming said.

"Additionally, it won't be long before we return to the Eastern Domain!" Lin Shiming finally gave Lin Zewen a definite answer!

Which made the latter ecstatic!

Lin Shiming had already received the Sword Talisman when he returned to Shuangmu Island, sent by Heavenly Sword True Person.

The Lin Family could return to the Eastern Domain, albeit to Chu Country where the Heavenly Demon Sect was located!

And Yunzhou in Zhao Kingdom would also be transferred to the Lin Family!

But these territories were by no means easily governed!

Chu Country would have to directly face the Demonic Race of the Eastern Sea, while Yunzhou in Zhao Kingdom would confront the demonic clans of the Qingyun Mountain range!

Furthermore, it's certain that there are still remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect in Chu Country.

And as it's well known, many treasures and opportunities of the demonic sects are worthless to righteous cultivators!
