Cold Turtle Island, with the massive arrival of Lin Family cultivators, affiliated clans also kept watch over the depths of the island.
Their gazes burned with curiosity, for they knew that the Lin Family must have discovered so treasure.
But alas, they had agreed with the Lin Family before the campaign began.
All newly expanded islands would fall under Lin Family managent.
Only the more inland islands would be distributed to them, which left them feeling sowhat disappointed.
"Stop staring. The Lin Family treats us well enough. If it were another major power, they wouldn't even provide puppets or blood corpses for us, let alone having Nascent Soul combat strength!" A Ye Family cultivator stepped forward, and his words caused the others to nod in agreent.
To them, the earlier part of the statent might be ignored, but the ntion of Nascent Soul combat strength was undeniable.
Re-evaluating the earlier words in light of this point, they found the arrangent more acceptable.
It was precisely for this reason that they were willing to beco an affiliated clan of the Lin Family.
At that mont, a voice echoed from the distance.
"Everyone, co take a look! The Lin Family has issued missions, and all cultivators can participate!"
"All mission rewards will be distributed in high-grade Spirit Stones!" This scene left everyone deeply shaken.
"It seems the island has yielded a high-grade Spirit Stone mine!" Others beca equally elated.
Though they might not get a direct share.
But with the Lin Family offering high-grade Spirit Stones for completing tasks, it gave them so benefits in return.
This made them respect the Lin Family even more.
"There's a ti limit on the missions. Hurry up, everyone!" Another wave of sound transmissions urged many clans to venture deeper into the Outer Sea.
...
Cold Turtle Island, the newly established assembly hall of the Lin Family.
Lin Zekong nodded as he reviewed Lin Yanqing's strategies.
The Taihan Secret Realm on Cold Turtle Island carried great significance.
The Lin Family also needed to guard against news leaking out and attracting the covetous eyes of other powers.
Especially those of the Spirit Beast clans.
If they discovered a secret realm filled with Thousand-Year Cold Jade on Cold Turtle Island, they likely wouldn't allow the Lin Family to claim it.
Thus, the Lin Family spread the word that it was rely a site for high-grade Spirit Stones.
This way, even if so information leaked from affiliated clans through soul-searching or other ans, it wouldn't cause major problems.
To high-level Demonic Beasts, only supre-grade Spirit Stones and Thousand-Year Cold Jade were truly valuable.
High-grade Spirit Stones had minimal utility for Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators already.
At this stage, the Lin Family only needed to consolidate their current territory firmly. A steady and thorough approach would lead to a prosperous Lin Family era.
"Distributing these missions was a brilliant move. Keep up this montum, and once the Heavenly Joy Archipelago of the Heavenly Illumination Sea Domain is fully absorbed, both you and I will have the opportunity to reach the peak!" Lin Zekong remarked.
Lin Yanqing nodded in agreent.
The assembly hall continued its orderly deliberations, from structuring the marketplaces, to mission assignnts, and further exploration of the surrounding seas.
Lin Yanqing felt deeply encouraged. Seeing Lin Zekong's approval was enough to make all his efforts worthwhile.
And his policies, implented within the Lin Family, were indeed yielding extraordinary results.
...
The Taihan Secret Realm entrance.
Lin Shiming arrived once more with a group of cultivators, this ti accompanied primarily by Lin Yanjiao, Lin Zeying, and Lin Changxing.
These three were seen as the ones most likely to possess extraordinary talent and potentially obtain Earth Rank Techniques.
Lin Xianzhi and Lin Houshou personally escorted the three toward the interior of the secret realm.
As they approached the entrance, Lin Houshou glanced at Lin Shiming.
"Shiming, this is my newly tad Ice Bird—could you take care of it for ?" Lin Houshou said, as he produced an Ice Bird.
He wanted to ensure that he was truthful to the Ice Bird.
By letting it experience the laws of the wider world,
it could potentially advance further without remaining trapped in the Purple Mansion tier.
Lin Shiming nodded at Lin Houshou's words and imdiately called forth Wang Jiao, instructing it to take the Ice Bird along.
"This is Lin Qian Mu, True Person of the Lin Family. Rember to treat all Lin Family mbers with the sa respect you would show to the main house!" Lin Houshou continued introducing.
He had already briefed the Ice Bird about the Lin Family, but repeating it again served to reinforce its mory.
Moreover, Lin Shiming's overwhelming cultivation level served as a commanding presence for the Ice Bird.
For Lin Houshou, displaying the Lin Family's strength appropriately in such monts was beneficial.
Otherwise, if this Ice Bird ever broke through the Fifth Rank later, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
As the light of the teleportation array shone once more, this group of young Lin Family mbers stepped into the secret realm.
This group also included those cultivators with water attributes.
Inside the secret realm, Lin Xianzhi turned to Lin Houyuan.
"Let's set up a Lin Family building right at the secret realm entrance."
"Understood, Seventh Great-Uncle. I'll leave Zeying and Changxing in your care for now!" Lin Houyuan nodded. Since developnt here was necessary, rearrangents were naturally required.
Thus, the group of several hundred was divided into three teams.
Those with higher talent headed for Taihan Mountain.
Those with lesser talent were sent toward Cold Jade Valley.
The remainder stayed behind to build the foundational structures.
This task, too, would be a great rit.
At the foothills of Taihan Mountain, a tiny Spirit Boat appeared on the horizon, gradually expanding against the backdrop of the white, snowy world.
Lin Shiyi rose to his feet, but upon recognizing the occupants of the Spirit Boat as Lin Xianzhi and a group of younger Lin Family disciples, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Shiyi greeted with a respectful bow.
The latter waved dismissively, indicating that Lin Shiyi need not overly adhere to formalities at this mont.
For the Lin Family, securing treasures from the secret realm was the true priority.
"Has Shimo's team already tested it?" Lin Xianzhi asked, his tone laced with curiosity.
He had not yet seen this formation, and his interest in Taihan Mountain's Taihan Gate was palpable.
"Seventh Great-Uncle, I can demonstrate it for you!" Lin Shiyi offered.
