I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 138: Establishment of the Family

And then came the day of the family establishment ceremony. The Lin family gathered more than 1,500 scattered cultivators, each of whom received thirty catties of low-grade spirit rice. In other words, this expense alone cost more than 45,000 catties of spirit rice and more than 4,500 spirit stones.

Establishing a family brings in great income, but naturally, the expenses are also significant.

However, Lin Qing has no regrets about this expenditure. The beginning is always difficult, as long as the foundation is laid well, they can earn back any number of spirit stones in the future.

On this sunny day with clear skies and no clouds for miles, Lin Qing stood on a high platform to the east of the Lin family gathering, accompanied by Lin Xuchang and Lin Xuzhe. They began to address the numerous scattered cultivators.

As for the other members of the family, it was not yet their time.

"Fellow Daoists, welcome to the Lin family mountain today. Our Lin family has found spiritual veins here and established a family. With the blessings of heaven and earth, our family will be united. In the future, every member of our Lin family will gather here at Lin family mountain and bring glory to our name!"

With just two simple sentences, the scattered cultivators below were too awed to make a sound. How could they? There were three Foundation Building cultivators above them, and the one in the middle was even at the mid-Foundation Building stage. The strength of these three made the scattered cultivators below look up to them.

More scattered cultivators looked at Lin Qing and the other two on the high platform, their envy evident.

As cultivators, who wouldn't want to have this day? To establish a family in a grand manner and have the family united in the future, what could be more difficult than that? Cultivation itself is difficult, but establishing a family is even more challenging. It's not as simple as gathering descendants; a family needs spiritual veins and resources, as well as the motivation to sustain its development.

A family is not just a gathering of relatives; it also controls resources.

And in the cultivation world, resources are the most difficult to obtain.

Lin Qing continued, "Our Lin family has been here at Lin family mountain for twenty years, during which we have made many efforts."

With these words, Lin Qing explained many things, roughly outlining the family's plans for the future. He emphasized the importance of the Lin family gathering, promising that any scattered cultivator who came to the Lin family gathering would receive the family's protection. The Lin family would treat all the cultivators who opened shops in the Lin family gathering equally, with skilled cultivators receiving leasing discounts.

The scattered cultivators listening below, especially those with broad knowledge, understood that although the Lin family gathering was currently located in the mountains, it would likely become an important market in the Zhao Kingdom in the future.

Those with keen minds began to consider the interests involved and whether they should stay at this early stage to seek greater benefits in the future.

Finally, Lin Qing said, "Fellow Daoists, from today onwards, our Lin family is officially established. You may call us the Lin family of Lin Family Mountain."

As he spoke, a gentle breeze suddenly blew through the previously calm air, instantly invigorating the spirits of the scattered cultivators below.

Lin Qing looked into the distance, raised his hand, and the long-awaited mortals began to beat drums and gongs. The entire Lin Family Mountain became lively and filled with joy.

The external family ceremony was mainly led by Lin Qing, and once he finished speaking, it came to an end. But there was another ceremony to follow.

It was the Lin family's own ceremony.

Externally, it showcased the family's strength, while internally, it aimed to unite the family.

Afterwards, at the foot of the second-order main vein, the Lin family stood in front of a newly built ancestral hall. Lin Qing, as the head, stood in front of the hall and began to read the family rules.

"All cultivators of the Lin family shall not harm their own kin in the future!"

"All cultivators of the Lin family are prohibited from intentionally harming mortals!"

"All cultivators of the Lin family are prohibited from falling into the ranks of demonic cultivators or disaster cultivators!"

"All cultivators of the Lin family."

"."

"Mutual assistance and cooperation between families, forging the glory of the family!"

After reading dozens of family regulations, Lin Qing turned to Lin Xueze. Lin Xueze raised a prepared tablet and respectfully placed it in the ancestral hall. The tablet was inscribed with the characters "Zhao Yun".

Then, Lin Qing looked at Lin Xue En's son. Just like Lin Xueze, he respectfully picked up Lin Xue En's tablet and placed it in the ancestral hall.

In the future, any descendants of the family who are cultivators can enter this ancestral hall after death, receive support from the family, and inspire future generations to move forward.

Looking at the eternal candlelight in the ancestral hall, the gaze of the Lin family members became resolute.

Then, Lin Qing's gaze shifted from the ancestral hall to the sky. At this moment, a white cloud drifted across the sky, and Lin Qing smiled.

After the establishment of the Lin family, there were many things to do. After the family ceremony, everyone in the family became busy.

Among them, the Lin family branch where Lin Xuechang was located was the busiest. They had to accept many wandering cultivators every day. After half a month, nearly three hundred wandering cultivators were willing to stay in the Lin family branch. Upon hearing this news, Lin Qing couldn't stop feeling happy.

What made Lin Qing even happier was the birth of Lin Xueqing and Li Danxin's child.

It is said that Lin Xueyuan has already given birth to many grandchildren for Lin Qing, but Lin Xueqing's child is different.

On the hundredth day, the child's spiritual roots were tested, and it turned out to be a dual spiritual root. This represented a high chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion in the future, and there was even hope for a Gold Core. Lin Qing happily named this grandson Lin Zhidan, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Now, the Lin family has a total of six Foundation Building cultivators: Lin Qing, Che Yun, Lin Xuechang, Lin Xueze, Lin Xueqing, and Li Danxin. As for Qi Refining cultivators, there are too many: Li Qingyu, Lin Xueyuan, Xiao Qian, Xiao Wei, Lin Xuesi, Lin Xueqian, as well as Lin Xueyuan's descendants Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Zhiling. There are also Lin Xuming, Lin Xutai, and Lin Zhidan, who will be able to cultivate soon. It can be said that in another twenty years, the number of Lin family cultivators will increase again.

Now, relying on the resources of the Lin family mountain, they can support the Lin family cultivators, and all they need to do is to intensify their cultivation.

The Lin family is currently in a period of rapid growth.

After the establishment ceremony of the Lin family, it was known to more cultivators for a while. Both the Wuji Sect and the Qingfeng Sect knew that there was a Lin family mountain at the border between their two sects. Unlike the previous construction, the establishment ceremony represented the formal establishment of the Lin family's influence in this place.

In response to this, the Qingfeng Sect assigned a task for cultivators to investigate. This task was still taken by Qin Rou, who later completed the task and spoke highly of it, saying that the Lin family posed little threat. The Qingfeng Sect had a long heritage and had seen many family establishments, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

On the other hand, the Wuji Sect also sent a Foundation Building cultivator to investigate after the establishment of the Lin family.

The cultivator sent was a mid-Foundation Building cultivator from the Zhu family, one of the five major families within the Wuji Sect. Speaking of the Wuji Sect, it was the largest sect in Zhao Country with three Purple Mansions. Among them, there were five major families, all of which were powerful cultivation families that controlled many resources within the Wuji Sect. The Zhu family was the most powerful because their ancestor was a mid-Purple Mansion cultivator of the Wuji Sect.

This mid-Foundation Building cultivator sent by the Zhu family was called Zhu Zhi Shi. Although he was just a steward, his power was considerable because of his identity as an inner disciple responsible for managing all inner disciples. He came this time purely to relax, otherwise there was no need for him to be involved in such matters.
