Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

However, the lectures given by the Lin Family's Purple Mansion and Golden Core members were just one or two sessions.

"Fifth, all cultivators from the Lin Family branches may participate in expansions, whether it be the Eastern Domain's Eastern Sea, the Soarwood Archipelago, or Jiuyue Island!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The disparity in resources has further narrowed.

Lin Yanqing saw this reaction, originally thinking the salary policy might cause unrest, but that didn't happen.

Instead, it seemed all Lin Family members were very supportive.

This made him involuntarily glance at Lin Shiming and Lin Zewen. After receiving their nod of approval, he announced the final reform policy:

"Finally, from today, anyone in the Lin Family who creates additional value and gains the recognition of the three elders can be granted a subsidiary island by the family, with a dedicated spirit vein for their cultivation!"

If the previous reforms were a boon for lower-level cultivators, this would be a boon for higher-level ones.

Although the Lin Family has many main islands and archipelagos, there are too many cultivators. To this day, there are over a hundred cave residences opened on Qinglian Peak, even with restrictions.

Although formations provide isolation, many members prefer quietness. They need places to study, be it cultivation techniques, pill formulae, or formations.

Having an island to oneself means great autonomy, and because the Lin Family has a Void Nether Crystal vein, they can craft a transmission formation for it.

Though even without one, it would still be easy to fly over quickly.

The key is the family also provides a spirit vein as a gift.

After the excitement subsides, everyone understands that obtaining a subsidiary island near Shuangmu Island is no easy feat.

It's important to note that to be considered an elder in the Lin Family now, one must at least be at the Golden Core Stage.

The most a Purple Mansion cultivator can be is a deacon elder or something like a hall master.

Moreover, the three elders need to exclude someone like Lin Shimo, a reclusive cultivator.

As the family policies were rolled out, the clan meeting neared its end, coinciding with the final grand competition.

Lin Shiming didn't attend the competition, letting the family errands hall prepare it to assess the new decade's salary standards.

Lin Shiming walked into the council hall, waiting, until Lin Changxing soon arrived.

Lin Changxing respectfully saluted Lin Shiming.

"Thank you, Seventh Great-Uncle, for the guidance. Changxing now understands what is truly important."

"Oh, let's hear it?" Lin Shiming was slightly surprised, not expecting Lin Changxing to proactively express gratitude.

This was a stark contrast to Lin Zekong in the past.

Back then, Lin Zekong was very displeased with his decisions, and even awaited him at the challenge stage.

"Previously, I was fixated, but for us cultivators, the biggest enemy is ourselves. By cultivating diligently in the Taihan Secret Realm, I can live up to the support from the Lin Family and fully realize my potential." Lin Changxing spoke earnestly, without any falsehood.

"The cold jade there suits you, and if you're inclined, you could proceed further into the sea!" Lin Shiming advised.

With Lin Changxing's clarity, he didn't mind offering further guidance.

Lin Changxing has a Water Spirit Root, making the ocean practically the best stage for him.

The entire sea is Lin Changxing's playground.

Upon hearing this, Lin Changxing nodded, suddenly thinking of Lin Zewen.

In the Lin Family, if not for Lin Yanjiao's unique spiritual body and talent, which held exceptional significance, Lin Zewen would undoubtedly be more prominent.

For a family, while the head is vital, expanding territories takes precedence.

"Here, take this supreme-grade Fourth Rank Sky Whale Spear!" Lin Shiming handed over a magical treasure to Lin Changxing.

This treasure was once given to Wang Jiao, but as Wang Jiao recently advanced to the Fifth Rank and has undergone a tribulation, the Sky Whale Spear can no longer unleash its full power.

"Thank you, Seventh Great-Uncle! Changxing will not let you down!" Lin Changxing expressed his gratitude with clasped hands, eyes full of excitement.

From a young age, Lin Changxing was guided in cultivation by Lin Xianzhi, possessing a similar demeanor to Lin Shiming in the past.

Lin Shiming nodded in approval.

After Lin Changxing left, Lin Yanyu brought Lin Changyu along soon after.

"Seventh Great-Uncle!"

"Seventh... Granduncle!" Lin Yanyu, being familiar with Lin Shiming, was calm, whereas Lin Changyu appeared quite nervous.

She didn't understand why Lin Shiming sought her out. The Lin Family's spirit beast competition recently highlighted twenty outstanding spirit beasts, five of which were comparable to her Scarlet Flame Little Snake.

Hence, she worried Lin Shiming might take her spirit snake away.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, Changyu has had a knack for communicating with beasts since childhood, and beasts under her care exhibit heightened spirit intelligence." Lin Changyu was too tense to speak, so Lin Yanyu stepped forward to explain.

Hearing this, Lin Shiming chuckled lightly.

This laugh made Lin Yanyu slightly tense as well.

Though he understood Lin Shiming's nature from the Eastern Domain's accounts, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

The Scarlet Flame Little Snake, in its early Third Rank, could match demonic beasts in the Third Rank's later stages.

Perhaps it would indeed tempt him.

"Don't misunderstand. Are you curious about why the Lin Family claims to be a Flood Dragon clan and why Nine Dragon Island calls itself the Flood Dragon Sect?" Lin Shiming smiled as he asked.

"Why?" This time, Lin Changyu asked the question.

Although she was still at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level, studying the powers in the Eastern Domain and the Southern Sea was a mandatory course in the Lin Family's Preaching Hall.

However, only superficial information about various sects was taught.

"Because Nine Dragon Island has Golden Dragon Fruit trees and a Flood Dragon Nest, as does our Lin Family. The flood dragons you saw by day are all evolved from the Lin Family's spirit snakes. Your Scarlet Flame Little Snake also has this potential!" Lin Shiming revealed.

He didn't hold back the truth.

This Scarlet Flame Little Snake carries a True Dragon Bloodline, and Lin Changyu is exceptional herself. Lin Shiming, now at the Golden Core Late Stage, has little interest in raising spirit beasts, so he won't forcefully take them away.

Even if reasoning would lead to willing compliance, he chooses not to pursue it.

The process of transforming into a flood dragon takes at least twenty years, hence he deemed it necessary to inform Lin Changyu.

"This..." Lin Changyu was unsure of its implications, but Lin Yanyu immediately knelt.

"Forgive me, Seventh Great-Uncle. It's my ignorance of proper conduct. I implore you to pardon me and erase it from my memory." Lin Yanyu pleaded.

"Rest assured, all the Lin Family high-ups are aware, which is why we've always called ourselves a spirit snake family. It's a guise to avoid the attention of Nine Dragon Island and the Sea Demon King's Court, yet they're mostly aware now, so there's no need to conceal it!" Lin Shiming waved his hand dismissively.

"Of course, inviting Changyu here today wasn't solely for this reason. I also wish for Changyu to join the Lin Family's Spirit Beast Hall on Shuangmu Island, responsible for caring for some spirit beasts. If she excels, she'll receive quadruple the salary, and the family will supply Foundation Establishment Pills, Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, and even Gold Condensation Pills!"

Upon Lin Shiming's words, even Lin Yanyu gasped slightly.

"Changyu, thank the Seventh Great-Uncle. He's securing resources for you!" Lin Yanyu, filled with gratitude, urged Lin Changyu.

"Thank you, Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Changyu finally bowed in thanks, showing a hint of urgency, clearly needing time to process this information.

"Yanyu, take Changyu along. Keep this matter to yourself. The family's flood dragon project can't be fully disclosed yet." Lin Shiming mentioned offhandedly.

Lin Yanyu nodded, aware that positions for the flood dragon transformation project were scarce.

At that moment, he felt the urge to explore acquiring a talented spirit snake.

After all, who wouldn't want a flood dragon mount?

In the past, Lin Yanjiao driving the Blue Flood Dragon left him envious.

He previously thought she found it in the secret realm, but now it seems it was nurtured by the family.

At this moment, his anticipation for the family heightened.

He was filled with yearning for the future path of Immortal Cultivation.
