Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 1821 - 671: Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony

Green Lotus Peak, within the Central Peace Hall.

Zhou Chun sat at the head, personally presiding over this family eting before his Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony.

He hadn’t hosted such a eting in a long ti, and the reason he stepped in this ti was that he happened to be free, and it was a rare occasion with all the Zhou Family high executives gathered.

As per his usual practice in leading such etings, once again, the clan mbers responsible for various family affairs reported on the current situation of the family.

Leaving aside the number of high-level cultivators, the Zhou Family now had one hundred and six Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators, though this included in-laws and retainer servants.

Additionally, the number of cultivators from the Zhou Family itself had now reached nine hundred and sixty-seven, and counting the in-laws and controlled retainers, the total amounted to two thousand four hundred and sixty-six!

This figure, compared to large sects like the Moon Wheel Sect and Sunfla Sect, isn’t much.

But for a cultivator family, it indeed ans having a significant number of people and abundant strength.

It must be understood that most cultivator families in the Cultivation World consciously control the number of clan mbers to prevent the family from being overburdened.

Because family resources are limited, if one blindly encourages reproduction to increase clan mber numbers, then family resources will quickly beco insufficiently distributed.

By that ti, ordinary family cultivators would not enjoy any benefits, living almost like loose cultivators, so how would they remain loyal and willing to serve the family?

Therefore, cultivator families generally control the number of cultivators within the family and focus on nurturing those with outstanding talent, hoping to develop powerful cultivators who can lead the family to greater heights.

When those powerful cultivators with higher cultivation realms preside, they can lead the family to acquire more resources, thus allowing the family to expand in cultivator numbers.

In a certain sense, the number of people in a cultivator family can also indicate the family’s strength and influence.

Generally speaking, the number of a Golden Core family is controlled between five hundred to a thousand people.

This allocates resources efficiently, allowing the family to have six or seven Purple Mansion Phase cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishnt cultivators.

Of course, this is the ideal scenario.

In reality, like the Jingguo Country previously, due to multiple wars erupting consecutively over several centuries, the number of non-innate deaths of cultivators increased sharply, and each family suffered significant losses frequently.

Therefore, in terms of both family size and quality, they couldn’t match their social standing or the resources they could command.

So, following major wars, each family tried their best to encourage clan mbers to reproduce, increasing the number of cultivator clan mbers.

For a family like the current Zhou Family, already a Nascent Soul family, even if their number increased to three to five thousand mbers, they could still easily bear it.

After all, with a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator as a backing, no matter if the benefits and treatnt have not improved compared with before, few low and middle-tier cultivators would foolishly leave the family.

This marks a fundantal difference from those dium and small families.

After listening to the reports on family situations, Zhou Chun looked at the people in the hall and slowly said: "This family eting mainly discusses three things. The first is adjusting the status of family mbers, canceling the rule that succeeding in Core Formation imdiately makes one a Supre Elder. In the future, the family’s Supre Elders will only be Zhou Zhengbai, Ancestor Mingde, and Uncle Ancestor Daoyi, while the status of the guest Supre Elder, Dao Friend Luo Qingni, remains unchanged!"

"In the future, family cultivators wishing to beco Supre Elders must either succeed in Nascent Soul formation or possess Golden Core Stage cultivation and reach Grandmaster Realm in a particular skill!"

"By the sa principle, wanting to beco a Family Elder in the future requires being a Golden Core Stage cultivator or a Purple Mansion Phase clan mber who achieves master-level in alchemy or formation skills."

"The selection criteria for other core mbers and elite clan mbers will be raised in succession, with only those who develop a Purple Mansion or succeed in Foundation Establishnt being qualified for selection."

After these words were spoken, the Zhou Family mbers below had no objections.

The rules in the Cultivation World are like this; when there are higher realm cultivators in a faction, the status and rank of internal cultivators need to be reevaluated.

In general, a "Supre Elder" is the highest status holder in a sect or family.

If the Zhou Family had only Zhou Chun at the Nascent Soul Stage, perhaps his status as Clan Leader could be sowhat aloof, above that of the Supre Elders.

But now, with a Fifth-order Demon King, Zhou Zhengbai, changes had to be made.

As for why Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi can be Supre Elders with Golden Core Stage cultivation, it’s naturally because they are of a higher seniority than Zhou Chun and have made significant contributions both to Zhou Chun personally and to the Zhou Family.

Other Zhou Family cultivators wouldn’t dare feel discontent or dissatisfaction about this.

Moreover, Zhou Chun provided another path besides cultivation level.

If in the future, anyone indeed possessed outstanding talent, mastering Grandmaster Realm skills with Golden Core Stage cultivation, they could equally beco a Supre Elder, matching the status and treatnt of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators within the family!

After discussing the first matter, Zhou Chun quickly continued: "The second issue is that henceforth the family will adjust its distribution of important resources like Nascent Soul Spirit Material, auxiliary Purple Mansion Spirit Matters, Foundation Establishnt Pills, and such. Clan mbers wishing to obtain these spiritual objects must first acquire exchange qualifications."
