Fangmu Mountain's council hall, this ti, the Lin Family's high-ranking mbers gathered once more.
Lin Xianzhi had hurried back from Lingnan County, because there were still remnants of Demonic Beasts lingering, Lin Houyong continued to stay there with quite a few disciples.
And the rest of the Lin Family cultivators had almost once again assembled in the council hall, just like the triennial clan eting.
Only this ti, everyone was sadder, and almost as soon as they gathered, there was a solemn look on everyone's face as they went to the ancestral hall to start paying respects to the morial tablets.
As the Family Head, Lin Shiming stood at the forefront.
Adding new morial tablets, offering incense, reciting the eulogy!
After a sorrowful oration, everyone's face bore sadness.
After paying homage to the ancestors, ca the family's consolation money.
"Lin Houzhi, Qi Cultivation eight level, contribution degree eight thousand, recorded in the register, reserved for direct descendants with Spirit Roots!"
...
Lin Shiming announced each of the thirty-eight cultivators who had passed away, and these contribution degrees would also be disclosed fairly, reserved for their direct descendants.
This inevitably deepened everyone's grief.
Even when a rabbit dies, the fox grieves; all the more for clan mbers who had fought side by side.
But just the sa, it was because of the family's fairness and justice that the cultivators felt an even stronger sense of identification with the clan.
One must know that if a Loose Cultivator were to die, let alone soone taking care of their body or passing on their treasures to progeny.
As long as they weren't taken by so demonic cultivator to beco a corpse puppet, it would be considered fortunate.
"The departed are gone, the living must be stronger. The glory of the Lin Family needs to be recreated by those seated here!" Lin Shiming moistened his throat, and spoke out loud again.
The confidence in his words also inspired many Lin Family descendants to aspire to it.
"Now, the seventh great-uncle will announce the ritorious contributors…"
After Lin Shiming finished speaking, Lin Xianzhi announced the rits of this occasion.
Of course, only Lin Xianzhi, who had the greatest rit and was the most powerful, could announce the rits:
"This disaster, a calamity unseen in a century, but fortunately, the Lin Family had everyone's support, defending the Lin Family's foundation as well as its dignity!"
"I announce, the greatest rit this ti is for Lin Family Head, Lin Shiming, who has slain more than twenty Third Rank Demonic Beasts, and a countless number of Second Rank Demonic Beasts! Contribution Points one hundred thousand, and retaining the materials obtained from Spirit Beasts! The clan provides two Third Rank Magic Artifacts for free!"
"Lin Shijie is the second greatest contributor, having slain four Third Rank Demonic Beasts, a countless number of Second Rank Demonic Beasts, and ritoriously defended Fangmu Mountain for the family, Contribution Points sixty thousand, and retaining the materials obtained from Spirit Beasts, the clan provides one Third Rank Magic Artifact for free!"
...
The rest of the rits were announced one by one, taking up half a day to complete.
Each living cultivator had rits, everyone had rewards!
Afterward, Lin Shiming announced that all Lin Family cultivators must throw themselves into the Demonic Beast extermination battle.
The Lin Family had already lost nearly a quarter of its cultivators; it was crucial to increase the number of Immortal Cultivators. Therefore, it was necessary to prevent further harm befalling the mortals within the family territory.
Otherwise, it would affect the quality of the Ascension Conference.
Once everyone had dispersed and only a few Foundation Establishnt cultivators, a group of Qi Cultivation Ninth Level Elders, and the temporary Alchemy Hall Master with Qi Cultivation Eight Level, Lin Houxuan, were left.
"The beast tide has been confird to be over; Shen Ji True Person of Qingxuan Sect has reached an understanding with the Demon King of Qingyun Mountain Range, but at the sa ti, the demonic sect has started a war on the borders of Chu and Zhao! The two nations have completely fallen out!" Lin Xianzhi said slowly with a solemn expression.
This caused everyone's faces to change suddenly.
No sooner had the beast tide ended than they encountered the great war between two nations.
"However, currently, the Qingxuan Sect has promised that unless it is a ti of crisis, they will not require Yunzhou's Foundation Establishnt families to deploy cultivators for five years!"
"At the sa ti, one year from now, Qingxuan City will hold the Qingxuan Conference in advance. This ti they will exchange a large amount of Foundation Establishnt Pills, and the starting bid will be directly halved!"
"Shiming, it's up to you to make the arrangents!" Lin Xianzhi looked towards Lin Shiming again, his eyes full of admiration at this mont.
It was both an entrustnt and a commitnt to nurture him fully.
Lin Shiming also nodded his head, slowly beginning to speak:
"Elders, in light of this natural disaster, I hope all elders will work together in unity to face this challenge!"
"Please instruct us, Family Head!" The elders replied in unison.
"Great Grandfather, as the Elder of the Law Enforcent Hall, I entrust you with the lead responsibility, complented by Great Uncle's Demon Hunting Hall, to ensure that no Demonic Beast causes trouble within the boundaries of Xing County!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
"Fourth Grandfather, as the Elder of the Artifact Refining Hall, you must increase investnts into artifact refinent, and strive to turn the materials collected from Demonic Beasts into Spirit Armor and Spirit Weapons! Ensure that the Magic Artifacts of the family's cultivators are up to the mark!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
"Uncle Fifteen, the Alchemy Hall also needs to step up the production of elixirs, to be prepared for eventualities. If the border situation with Zhao Chu escalates, we could be deployed to the battlefield at any mont. Henceforth, the family's focus will be on refining elixirs that enhance cultivation levels, as well as Healing Pills!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
"Fifth Grandfather, the family's financial issues will definitely face a shortage due to this battle. We need you to transport most of the Second Rank artifact refinent materials to Xuzhou and Qingzhou; those states have not experienced the beast tides but must go through the border wars with Zhao Chu. Our Spirit Beast materials might not only remain stable in price but could possibly increase!"
"Additionally, with regards to the family's Golden Iron Stone, also contact Uncle Five to begin its mining and sale! Uncle Seven made quite the na in the beast tide of Qingyun City, and with the Li Family removed, now is an excellent opportunity for our Lin Family to develop!"

"Yes, Family Head!" Lin Yuzheng was also happy to comply.
"Second Uncle, the family's formations, big and small, have all been damaged. I am entrusting you with forming the Formation Hall to ensure that within half a year, the formations for all our major industries are restored to normal!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
"The rest of the Foundation Establishnt Elders will serve as flexible cultivators, ensuring that at least one is not in cultivation at any given ti, ready to deal with any missed Third Rank Demonic Beasts!"
...
Lin Shiming delegated each major task clearly and one by one.
All the family elders were in huge agreent, and their satisfaction with the twenty-eight-year-old Family Head of the Lin Family grew even more.
The clan eting thus concluded, and to Lin Shiming's surprise, Lin Xianzhi took out from his Storage Bag five Third Rank monkey-type Demonic Beast corpses and two Third Rank mantis-type Demonic Insect corpses.
At the sa ti, he also produced a Pill Bottle, which contained Limb-Regrowing Pills.
The efficacy of this elixir was limb regeneration, which naturally also worked on Demonic Beasts.
"Thank you, Uncle Seven!" Lin Shiming imdiately expressed his gratitude.
If the forr corpses were manageable, the latter Limb-Regrowing Pills were Third Rank Superior Grade Elixirs, extrely valuable.
"No need for formalities!" After saying this, Lin Xianzhi also headed towards the Qinglian Pond Cave Mansion.
Having not rested for a long ti, he too needed to treat his injuries.
As for Lin Shiming, he went to the Treasure Pavilion to start exchanging for the spiritual materials for the Blood Demon Ancestral Secret Art and the materials for Seduction Demon Pills, which induced Demonic Beasts to devour each other for evolution.
The forr was simply for the Secret Technique, which he himself was capable of executing, while for the latter he could only turn to his Uncle Fifteen, Lin Houxuan, hoping that the latter had already mastered the Formation Artifact Manual and could refine Third Rank Elixirs beyond his level.
The Blood Demon Ancestral Secret Art focused on the thod, as well as the bloodlines of various types of similar Demonic Beasts.
This ti he had almost twenty Third Rank monkey-type Demonic Beast bloodlines, more than enough. After putting together the other spiritual materials in the Treasure Pavilion, he once again entered the cave mansion.
