Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints
Chapter 949 - 582 Development Planning_2

"Otherwise, without competition, the clan will gradually decay, and corruption and devious acts will increasingly prevail!"

"Only with the Preaching Hall and the competition between bloodlines can we ensure the Lin Family's continued prosperity."

"In the future, it will be divided into three main branches: Shuangmu Island, Red Leaf Island, and Lanling Island. Each will be a main branch, yet distinct from one another, with a grand competition every ten years and a smaller one every three years. The losing island branch from the small competition will lose ten percent of their base stipend and many clan treasures, while the winner will be rewarded with an increase of ten percent to their base stipend and more treasure allocations!" Lin Yanjiao said at a steady pace.

This system was clearly something she had considered for a long time.

But in essence, it was turning the Lin Family into a Lin Family Alliance, following the format of the Coral Alliance exactly!

Although this method might lead to strained relationships within the clan, it cannot be denied that it is a good policy and system.

"What about the Purple Mansion and Golden Core Cultivators?" Lin Xianzhi asked from the side.

"To answer Elder Seven, those from the Purple Mansion and Golden Core are above this system and are not affected by it!"

"Moreover, to prevent an excess of cultivators within the clan, the disciples from the Preaching Hall will be randomly allocated to the three islands in the future."

"Every cultivator must undergo trials and grow; otherwise, no amount of clan resources can withstand profligate waste!"

In recent years, there have been quite a few in the Lin Family who have broken through to the Purple Mansion stage, but the momentum for Foundation Establishment breakthroughs has not been as strong as before.

Fortunately, in the Southern Sea, the preparation of Foundation Establishment Pills does not require Heavenly Spirit Fruits and other three major Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

Otherwise, the momentum for the Lin Family's Foundation Establishment would be completely broken.

This was still a result of the Lin Family having the Illusionary Heart Pavilion.

"Second Uncle, Thirty Uncle, Fifteen Uncle, what do you think?" Lin Shiming also looked to the other elders.

"I think it's appropriate, but the stipends for the major Purple Mansion cultivators, as well as the defense rules, also need to be changed—it is essential to rotate them!"

"The family's succession can be competitive, but at the higher levels, we still need mobility to maintain the unity of the upper echelons of the family!" Lin Houyuan also nodded in agreement.

Although Lin Shiming did not ask him, he was the father of Lin Shiming, and naturally, he had to speak at this moment.

"Alright, then it's decided. In addition, we also need to consider the names of Lanling Island and Red Leaf Island, as these represent the future sea territories of the Lin Family!" Lin Shiming spoke again.

At this, the others did not respond.

They could offer suggestions on the system, but when it came to naming, whoever secured it got to name it.

"Shiming, you should name them; your names have always been good!" Lin Xianzhi spoke up.

"Uncle Seven flatters me!" Lin Shiming couldn't help but smile wryly, but he understood the reason behind it.

"Then let's call them Redwood Island and Soarwood Island. Redwood Island represents the friendship between the Ye Family and the Lin Family, and Soarwood Island signifies our aspiration to soar!" Lin Shiming said.

"Redwood Archipelago, Soarwood Archipelago, not bad!" The rest of the people also nodded in agreement.

For everyone, the name wasn't a big deal as long as it represented the Lin Family.

Just like the Twelve Inner Islands, nobody knows how many times their names have been changed.

"Regarding defense, we also need two Purple Mansion Cultivators!" Lin Shiming said.

As the linchpin of the Lin Family, he was certain to stay in Shuangmu Island.

"I'll suppress Redwood Archipelago in the future, and let Shijie handle Soarwood Archipelago!" Lin Xianzhi promptly replied.

This answer delighted Lin Shiming greatly.

Suppressing these two archipelagos would certainly require Golden Core strength to deter the troublemakers.

As for other matters, they did not need to intervene much; the Lin Family would have specialized cultivators for that purpose.

This also represented Lin Xianzhi's considerable determination now.

There was no need to mention Lin Shijie, the Lin Family's current second-in-command.

"Alright, everyone get ready. In about half a year, we will probably have another battle. Those who want to participate can inform Lin Yanjiao!" Lin Shiming announced.

As for the campaign against the Tianzhao Sect, Lin Shiming wasn't too worried.

With four True Monarchs, if there were still problems, that likelihood would be too low.

Actually, the Lin Family also just needed to go through the motions, as the benefits they could gain were not great.

After all, this time the territories the Lin Family needed to assimilate were extensive, including many mines and resources waiting for the Lin Family to exploit.

What restricted the Lin Family was actually the rapid population growth that they had been vigorously promoting.

Although there were already millions of mortals, the family's cultivators were still one in a thousand.

Even with the support of Turtle Spirit Coconuts, it was still possible for children without a Spirit Root to appear.

"Yanjiao, the Family Master Guidance Group still needs to be expanded, and your cultivation must not fall behind!" Lin Shiming addressed Lin Yanjiao once more.

Although she was managing everything orderly, cultivation was equally important for Lin Yanjiao.

Once everything had been discussed, Lin Shiming had Lin Yanjiao distribute the treasures they had purchased this time to the other Purple Mansion cultivators.

This time, Lin Zeli and Lin Zeying bought quite a lot on Coral Island.

Especially for Yu Jing and Lin Shijin.

However, Lin Changxing only had a simple few items in his hands.

Lin Houshou and Lin Xianzhi both had them, and everyone was also relieved for Lin Zeli.

Especially Lin Xianzhi, Lin Zeli's cultivation technique was just like his, and his talent in the Sword Dao, partly guided by Lin Xianzhi.

Lin Houshou even had the Buddha Sect's bead and a demon bead, which could help him cultivate to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, then he could prepare for the breakthrough to Golden Core.

But before breaking through to Golden Core, they had to wait for Lin Shitao to finish her closed-door training. After all, the Lin Family currently didn't have a ready Gold Condensation Pill. The only one that was a congratulatory gift, was given to Jiuxiao True Person.

To gather a new Gold Condensation Pill, they would have to wait for Lin Shitao's breakthrough.

Take advantage of this interval to refine another Gold Condensation Pill.

The family meeting dispersed, and everyone started to attend to their own duties.

Lin Shijie stayed behind, his eyes showing some hesitation.

He looked at Lin Shiming, and the next moment, his eyes showed a bit of courage.

"Shiming, can I have a friendly sparring with you, without any reservation? To tell you the truth, my illusions in the Illusionary Heart Pavilion have all turned into you," Lin Shijie said.

In these years, he and Lin Shiming had always been competing in secret.

Even though he had never surpassed Shiming, he didn't forget Lin Yuqi's disappointment in him!

And in these years, he also proved that even without practicing alchemy, he could still protect the family.

But compared to Lin Shiming, he had never won, and it was always Shiming who gave him guidance.

But he had never thought that his Heart Demon would turn out to be Shiming.

"Okay!" Lin Shiming nodded and agreed.

But he wouldn't hold back, nor did he intend to. Lin Shijie's defeat was his defeat!

Lin Shijie's Sword Intent was of fiery forge, and its power was not small either!

In a moment, five groups of Spiritual Fire emerged and transformed into five Spirit Swords, slashing towards Lin Shiming.

But it was quickly broken by a single sword strike from Lin Shiming.

At this moment, it was evident that Lin Shijie was also stuck at a bottleneck in Sword Dao, just a hair away from entering the Sword Annihilation Realm!

Seeing this, Lin Shiming directly displayed the Sword Origin.

However, the strength he used was that of the Purple Mansion Late Stage, and the vast Sword Intent pressed towards Lin Shijie.

The latter immediately showed joy in his eyes.

And his heart suddenly became clear.

So this is where the breakthrough for Sword Dao lies.

Lin Shijie lost miserably, defeated in one move.

However, there wasn't much dissatisfaction in his eyes.

In fact, he was eager to go into the wild and swing his sword hundreds of times.

"Big brother, this is the Bone Eroding Spirit Fire. You should break through to Golden Core as soon as possible; the family doesn't need you to act for now," Lin Shiming said.

And Lin Shijie also nodded, indicating his agreement. He indeed needed to break through to Golden Core.

This was not something that could afford the slightest delay!

After Lin Shijie had arranged everything, Lin Shiming went to the Preaching Hall to check on Lin Zeying.

Lin Zeying's temperament was somewhat similar to Lin Shiming's, both extremely cautious.

In the Preaching Hall, his relationships and reputation were very good, and many Cultivators got along well with Lin Zeying.

This also pleased him. If Lin Zeying were to bully others with his status or power, he would look down upon that.

As for the others, he didn't pay much attention.

And just at this moment, at the top of Thousand Wood Peak, Spiritual Energy surged, causing swathes of red glow to fall from the sky.

"Shitao has made her breakthrough!" Lin Shiming was overjoyed in his heart.

He didn't expect that just as he was considering the matter of pill refining, Lin Shitao would break through.

Moreover, judging by this momentum, it was a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, which was perfect for holding a celebration and a ceremony on Red Leaf Island at the same time.

This also signified that Lin Shitao now had the capability to refine Fifth Rank Spirit Pills!

After all, she had already refined the Gold Condensation Pill before.

If it weren't for the lack of time, Lin Shitao could have researched even more pill recipes.

Now with the breakthrough, the chances of succeeding with the Gold Condensation Pill were even greater!
