Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 149 Candidates_1

With the family's report completed, the clan meeting came to a temporary close.

During the short recess, the clan members huddled in small groups, whispering joyfully to each other.

Lin Tianming was also busy, taking advantage of the opportunity to exchange ideas with several senior clan members, bolstering their relationships.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Lin Shihua, seated in the place of honor, ceased his chatting. He had not yet stood up when the hall suddenly fell silent.

Lin Shihua surveyed the assembly, his expression calm, and said,

"The second half of the clan meeting is about to begin, with five topics for discussion. Should anyone have any opinions, feel free to raise them. I hope you will actively participate and offer your strategies for the good of the family."

"We will follow the Clan Leader's wishes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several members of the younger generation echoed in agreement, while most of the clan members waited quietly, evidently eager to know the topics of discussion.

After all, the decisions made at each clan meeting were closely related to every member and were matters of great importance that could greatly alter their current situation.

"The first item on the agenda is the family's plan to organize a caravan to set up two shops in Qianchuan Market to mainly sell elixirs and Spiritual Artifacts. This will also allow us to collect various resources for the family. What are your suggestions?"

As soon as Lin Shihua finished speaking, the previously quiet hall erupted in murmurs, especially from those who had not been privy to the news.

"Qianchuan Market is a place teeming with all sorts, with numerous sects and families in competition. How can the family secure a foothold there?"

"Qianchuan Market is the core territory of the Zhenyang Sect. Other than them, there are many Foundation Establishing Families conducting business there, and even several Golden Core Families. Are we at risk of being pushed out?"

"Which clan member will lead the initiative? It's surely too dangerous to go without at least a Foundation Establishment Stage leader."

...

At this point, the hall was abuzz with various questions tumbling over one another, and some clan members began to voice their opinions.

Lin Tianming was at this moment lost in thought, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After all, Luoyun Market was a small market, isolated and limited in its access to information and the flow of people, with minimal connection to other regions of Wei Kingdom.

In the past, due to severe internal strife within the Luoyun Mountain Range, the family had not been inclined to consider expansion and had been exhausted just from maintaining their own enterprise. Even though the family now had full control over the Luoyun Mountain Range, relying solely on Luoyun Market provided very limited profits.

Though resource shortages weren't an immediate issue for the family, if the family wished to develop in the long term, or to progress further, merely staying in this small area would be very difficult to achieve.

Qianchuan Market, being a medium-sized market, ranked high among all markets in the entire Wei Kingdom. With over ten thousand resident cultivators, it saw a substantial circulation of rare treasures and had a huge demand for various resources.

If the family could establish a solid footing in Qianchuan Market, it could not only earn Spirit Stones but also gather intelligence on the entire Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World. When the time was ripe, the family could collaborate with other families from different regions to boost the family's influence in Wei Kingdom.

In other words, if the family wished to advance further and increase its influence in the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World, developing in Qianchuan Market was an excellent and necessary step to take.

His thoughts aligned with those of the vast majority of the clan members. Regarding the matter of Qianchuan Market, there was virtually no opposition; the only thing under discussion was the choice of personnel for the market.

True to expectations, this matter was swiftly approved, and many clan members eagerly awaited Lin Shihua's decision on the selection of the candidate.

Lin Shihua glanced at Lin Shikang and a few others before speaking,

"After discussion among us elders, we have decided that the trip to Qianchuan Market will last for three years, with a rotation every three years. Shi Lu will lead the team, responsible for all affairs related to Qianchuan Market. Additionally, we are recruiting five family members with a cultivation level of Seventh Level Qi Cultivation or above to accompany him. Qualified members may register at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall tomorrow morning."

"As for those participating in this mission, each person will receive a yearly subsidy of one hundred Spirit Stones, and regular stipends will be issued. Those who perform exceptionally over the three years will be appropriately rewarded by the family."

Once Lin Shihua announced this, many clan members became eager to take on the task.

This mission was an excellent opportunity for those in the later stages of Qi Cultivation within the family.

After all, the tasks assigned within the family usually involved guarding Spirit Lands, finding Spiritual Objects, and the like—either perilous to accomplish or of little profit. After a year of hard work, it was tough to earn as many Spirit Stones and much time would be lost.

Managing shops in Qianchuan Market, however, mainly involved overseeing the stores and handling various miscellaneous tasks. The recruitment of Loose Cultivators would assist in these tasks, so their own cultivation would not be hindered. Moreover, with abundant resources, it was easier to acquire a large number of precious items, making it a desirable destination.

For those well aware of this fact, the eagerness to participate was palpable, and it was expected that by the following morning, numerous clan members would compete to register.

Seeing the ardor amongst the clan members being harnessed, Lin Shihua and the others were quite pleased.

As the clan meeting resumed, another half-quarter of an hour passed. The once noisy hall gradually calmed down.

Following discussions and additional contributions of good suggestions from the clan members, the matter was finally settled.

The enthusiastic clan meeting continued, and before anyone realized it, most of the day had passed.

During this time, the family deliberated on numerous significant matters, and one by one, decisions were finalized.

For the most part, Lin Tianming observed from the sidelines, occasionally offering his own insights, maintaining an appropriate demeanor.
