Chapter 16: Doubling the Contribution Limit, Paving the Way for Grandson!
In the blink of an eye, the figure crossed ten miles and arrived above Azure Heaven Market. Everyone saw the figure clearly. In the next moment, everyone's faces showed an incredulous look.
"Third Son of Lin Family, Lin Jinshan! How is it possible for him to be at the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
Almost everyone had this question in their minds. Unfortunately, no one answered it.
Lin Jinshan stood in the void, looked down at the commotion below, and casually waved his hand. Three precise bursts of spiritual power hit the Three Evils of the Mo Clan.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three consecutive explosions, and the Three Evils of the Mo Clan disappeared from the market. Even their flesh and blood were melted by the spiritual power, completely vanishing.
Seeing this, everyone in the market fell into silence. No one had expected this turn of events. They all understood that now was the time for the Lin family to establish their authority. No one wanted to be the one to stick their neck out.
"From now on, I will personally oversee the market. Those who disrupt the order of the market will be put to death without mercy."
Lin Jinshan looked down at the people below, his expression cold and his tone filled with killing intent. Then, he turned around and took a step into the Azure Heaven Pavilion in the center of the market.
Where it is, it used to be the place where the Zhang family's cultivators presided, controlling the formation that encompassed the entire market. Regulating everything.
In front of Jiang's shop, Jiang Wuyi looked at the clean ground in front of him and couldn't help but show a look of amazement on his face.
"Lin's family, it seems, is truly rising!"
Lin Jinshan overseeing the market was undoubtedly sending a signal to those who were paying attention. Lin family now had the ability to control the entire Renhuai County, promoting themselves to the Second Rank power, which was now within reach.
After all, they had the territory, and they had Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators. So now, all the previous issues had been resolved. Including the Mysterious Snake, Lin family had two Foundation Establishment Realm Experts.
"Rou'er, prepare. Three days from now, with this hundred-year spirit ginseng, we'll pay a visit to the Upper Sect."
Jiang Wuyi turned to a purple-clad teenage girl who appeared to be fifteen or sixteen years old behind him.
In front of the seal and talisman shop, Elder You and his companions exchanged glances. Eventually, Elder You sighed.
"Lin family has become a Second Rank power. Notify the members of the sect that the contribution quota for three days from now should be doubled!"
…
The events in Azure Heaven Market quickly spread to the outside world at an astonishing speed. The first to react were naturally the First Rank powers in Renhuai County.
Almost every one of them doubled their original contribution quotas, quickly correcting their attitudes. With Lin Jinshan in charge, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Lin family would rule Renhuai County in the future. Anyone who dared to resist at this point was on the path to death.
In Tianyuan Hall, the hall master, Shi Ruixin, looked at the disappearing Lin Jinshan with a hint of envy in his eyes. He was from the Third Rank Golden Core Sect, Nine Peaks Sect, and his resources were definitely superior to Lin Jinshan's.
However, now that he was in his seventies and at the half-step Foundation Establishment Realm, he had no hope of building the foundation any longer. Lin Jinshan appeared to be no more than forty-five, and even among Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was considered young.
"Hao'er, three days from now, you will replace me and deliver that Second-Rank Tianyuan Stone from the hall to the Lin family as a congratulatory gift for their promotion to a second-tier power."
Shi Ruixin looked at the young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, who followed behind him, sharing a few similarities with him.
Shi Hao, his grandson, was seventeen years old and at the Sixth Layer of Qi Condensation. Unlike Shi Ruixin, who had a Third Rank Inferior Spirit Root, Shi Hao had a Fourth Rank Medium Spirit Root, and as long as he worked hard and had a sufficient supply of Foundation Establishment resources, the probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment was over eighty percent.
Shi Ruixin had started paving the way for his grandson a long time ago, and this time, he was doing the same. Lin family's rise was inevitable, and based on his decades of experience, a force that rose as unexpectedly as Lin family was bound to achieve more in the end.
Lin Jinshan had just broken through to Foundation Establishment and lacked Second-Rank magical items. The Tianyuan Stone was the best material for crafting magical items. Handing this favor to his grandson demonstrated Shi Ruixin's thoughtful consideration.
"Hao'er understands."
Shi Hao nodded and had some doubts about his grandfather's perspective. Even if Lin's family was promoted to a Second Rank power, they were not worth mentioning compared to Nine Peaks Sect. In terms of building relationships, they should be the ones to reach out first.
…
Nine Peaks Sect, the absolute overlord within the territory of Tianyuan Prefecture. The headquarters of Nine Peaks Sect's sects was located not in the capital city of Tianyuan Prefecture, but in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range a hundred miles outside the capital city.
Lin Shanhai's cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Realm and took two days to fly over a thousand kilometers before arriving here. From a distance, the nine thousand-foot peaks reached into the clouds, connected to each other by rainbows, and between the peaks, hundreds of cultivators were flying in the air. The entire scene resembled an immortal family.
Lin Shanhai saw it for the first time and couldn't help but be moved. However, he didn't forget the main purpose of his trip. With each step he took, he leaped over three thousand steps and, to the astonishment of the crowd, landed in front of the jade stone gate.
"What's the deal with that person just now? Doesn't he know that to join Nine Peaks Sect, he must climb the three thousand steps?" a young man asked with a puzzled expression.
"You're really clueless. That person just now is a Foundation Establishment senior. He's probably the leader of the Second Rank power," a nearby girl explained with a hint of disdain.
The young man fell silent, his ears turning slightly red as he looked at the girl.
