BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95 What Do You Think of the Family Head?
He then handed the Golden Iron Stone to Lin Houyuan for inspection.
"Shiming, you've done very well. You've made another great contribution to our family."
"Have you notified your Fifth Uncle?" Lin Xianzhi suddenly frowned, seeming to think of something, and then asked Lin Shiming.
Lin Shiming also hastily waved his hands and respectfully said:
"Seventh Great-Uncle, Shiming was somewhat impatient upon discovering the vein and has not yet informed Fifth Uncle."
"Very good, the Qingxuan Sect has already sent people to Lingnan County, and the Li Family has interfered, tripling the tribute that our family is supposed to offer to the court!"
"If this news is discovered even the tiniest bit, I'm afraid the tribute will be manipulated by them again!"
After Lin Xianzhi had spoken, all three of them simultaneously harbored deep resentment towards the Li Family's actions.
"Seventh Great-Uncle, Shiming has made another discovery!" Lin Shiming spoke again, this time with an even more solemn expression.
This made Lin Xianzhi's brows tighten, and with another wave of the array flag, he further reinforced the Spirit Isolation Formation around Fangmu Mountain's Qinglian Pool.
In fact, the formation around the Qinglian Pool itself was already extremely tight. Lin Xianzhi seldom reinforced it, but now he realized that eight out of the recent ten times had been because of Lin Shiming.
Once the Spirit Isolation Formation was reinforced, Lin Houyuan next to him looked a bit peculiar, wondering why they hadn't been so careful with the Golden Iron Stone just now.
Could there be something even more precious than a Second Rank Supreme Grade Golden Iron Stone vein?
However, in the next moment, when Lin Shiming took out a Jade Box, a radiant light shone through it.
The two were as if struck by thunder, even more stunned.
And after looking at it for a moment, Lin Xianzhi suddenly took out array flags from his bosom and successively issued ten true flags, activating ten Spiritual Powers.
He reinforced the Spirit Isolation Formation by ten more layers and even activated Fangmu Mountain's Defensive Array.
"Could this be the Minor Divine Ability Tree?" It was Lin Houyuan, Shiming's father, who first swallowed hard and broke the silence.
"Yes." As Lin Xianzhi spoke, he also took out a Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Jade to fashion a new Jade Box.
He replaced the Jade Box to stop the brilliant light from leaking out.
"Seventh Great-Uncle, Father, this was obtained from a Cultivator named Wu's cave dwelling, and no second person knows of it," Lin Shiming explained, seeing the cautious look in both their eyes.
"It's just a pity that the treasure tree is only sixty years old!"
"There's no need to pity, Shiming. As long as I, Lin Xianzhi, am here for one day, no one can take the Minor Divine Ability Fruit from your tree!" Lin Xianzhi stated emphatically.
"You shall cultivate the tree in your cave dwelling. I will soon reinforce the Formation in your dwelling and set up a Third Rank Superior Grade Defensive and Isolation Formation!"
A series of remarks by Lin Xianzhi instantly warmed Lin Shiming's initially nervous heart.
On the way, he actually wondered whether to tell about the Minor Divine Ability Tree, to offer it to Seventh Great-Uncle for the Purple Mansion, which could also enhance the family's heritage.
But he also thought about keeping it for himself, knowing it could grant an additional Minor Divine Ability.
Additionally, the Minor Divine Ability Tree could only be planted on Fangmu Mountain and could not be concealed from Lin Xianzhi.
But what he did not expect was that his worries were unnecessary—Lin Xianzhi had directly promised that the Minor Divine Ability Fruits belonged to him.
You must know, Lin Xianzhi is currently at the later stages of Foundation Establishment, definitely going to reach the Purple Mansion before him, a Cultivator still in the Qi Cultivation Stage.
And would be able to use it first, which, by reason, should be the biggest help to the family.
"Hou Yuan, Shiming, this matter must not be mentioned to any third party!" Lin Xianzhi finally cautioned once again. If news of the Minor Divine Ability Tree were to leak,
it wouldn't just be the death of one or two people, the whole Lin Family would be doomed!
"Hou Yuan, this time it will be you who makes the trip. Take the Array Plate for the Third Grade Spirit Isolation Formation, find Hou Shou, lay down the Formation, and let Yu Zheng start dispatching Cultivators. Just use the relocation of mortals as a pretext, then secretly start mining!"
"Yes, Seventh Great-Uncle!" Lin Houyuan complied and promptly requested to depart.
Although the Minor Divine Ability Tree was more important and more valuable,
the Second Rank Supreme Grade Golden Iron Stone vein was not to be underestimated.
With the right configuration, it could dominate the market of a Supreme Grade Magic Artifact.
Especially after learning that Lin Shiming had only set up a Second Rank Formation, and it was a Third Rank Spirit Vein, he felt even more anxious and hurried over without stopping.
At the scene, only Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi were left.
"Besides, Shiming, you don't need to go. During these days, I will guide you in refining your Spiritual Power, as you need to prepare for your Foundation Establishment!"
"Yes, Seventh Great-Uncle." Lin Shiming agreed without much thought, as his purpose for going to Lingnan had been achieved.
Even if he was asked to go, he did not have matters to attend to there.
Instead, at Fangmu Mountain, he could start refining his Spiritual Power and prepare for Foundation Establishment.
Now that Lin Xianzhi was going to teach him, he naturally felt even more delighted.
"Also, what do you think about becoming the Family Head?"
With another word from Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shiming was shocked, his face a picture of disbelief.
"You need not be too surprised, nor worry that becoming the Family Head will affect your cultivation!" Seeing Lin Shiming's shocked silence, Lin Xianzhi spoke again.
"Cultivators in Immortal Cultivation put family first. Half is to support the family to repave their debt, and the other half to take the family into one's service. Your talent, intelligence, and fortune are all of superior quality. Becoming the ultimate ruler of the family, you will go farther."
After finishing, Lin Xianzhi stared at Lin Houyuan and remained silent.
The words were laid out, it was up to Lin Shiming to decide.
"Thank you, Seventh Great-Uncle, Shiming is willing to give it a try!" Lin Shiming finally nodded in agreement.
He had not hesitated just now; he was simply astounded.
Logically, given his age, it was indeed quite early to be the Family Head.
His father was the present Family Head, and he had some understanding of the position.
The benefits of being the Family Head were enormous. For instance, with regard to cultivation resources, after becoming the Family Head, he would become the family's foremost cultivation priority. There would be no more worries about Spirit Stones and Spirit Water, and he could utilize the family's full resources to aid in his cultivation.
Just as Lin Xianzhi and Lin Houyuan were doing now.
Moreover, in terms of family affairs, as long as responsibilities were properly delegated, he would only need to make strategic decisions, which would not greatly impact his cultivation.
After all, there were other Elders below him.
…
Lin Shiming returned to his own cave dwelling, his shocked heart gradually calming down, but a higher position also signified greater responsibility, and required greater strength.
He did not have time to rest at this moment.
First, he planted the Minor Divine Ability Tree next to the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree without any delay.
Once the precious tree was planted, Lin Shiming felt most of the Spiritual Energy being drawn towards him, which immediately filled him with joy.
The Spiritual Energy was denser, which incidentally helped his cultivation as well.
Then, Lin Shiming planted the seeds of the Awakening Spirit Flower.
Next, he channeled the Spiritual Power of the Purple Wood Heart Sutra into the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Awakening Spirit Flower, and other Spirit Plants, catalyzing each of them.
Finally, he dealt with the Spirit Bees, fed three Spirit Beasts, and then returned to the stone bed to quietly contemplate the future of the family.
Because, in his view, the family needed reform! Explore stories on m,v l'e-NovelBin.net
