Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 37: The Last Words of the Ancestor
After seeing off Lu Chen, the manager of Xuanbing Hall, Lin Changyue immediately went to see the ancestor Lin Xianchu.

The ancestor's injuries are much more serious than imagined.

Not only is he unable to recover, but he is almost at the end of his life.

Originally, if he had just helped Lin Changgeng block Zhou Shiqi's fatal attack and recuperated well afterwards, he would not be seriously injured.

But later he took secret medicine to suppress his injuries, and then fought a fierce battle with two foundation-building masters from the Liu family, which caused his injuries to worsen, and he became completely irreversible.

Being able to hold on and return to his family is already his limit.

At this moment, all the senior members of the Lin family gathered here, including the patriarch Lin Daoheng, who has not much time left.

Lin Changgeng stood beside him with a look of shame and self-blame on his face. If it weren't for saving him, the ancestor wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Although no one blamed him, he himself was tormented inside.

"Long Yue, Manager Lu wants to meet with you alone, but what instructions do you have?"

Lin Xianchu forced himself to cheer up and looked at Lin Changyue and asked.

Everyone's attention was temporarily diverted from their grief and anger. Everyone was very curious about why Lu Chen came to the Lin family just to meet Lin Changyue.

After all, this is a foundation-building cultivator from the Xuanbing Palace, which is completely different from the foundation-building of a small family.

If he wasn't there this time, the Lin family would definitely not be able to gain any benefits from the Liu family.

Lin Changyue briefly recounted the history and secrets of the Liu family that he had learned from Lu Chen.

Just now, Lu Chen did not ask him not to publicize it, which means that he can tell this matter to everyone in the Lin family.

This matter does not involve the interests of the Xuanbing Palace. On the contrary, it is a good thing that the Lin family has learned the secret of the Liu family and knows that the Liu family dare not invade other foundation-building families wantonly.

In this way, the Lin family will not have to worry about the Liu family starting a war after they become enemies with the Liu family.

Of course, Lin Changyue chose to hide the matter about Xie Lingshuang.

He had never thought about this matter in the first place, and had never thought of disturbing this proud girl of heaven, the true disciple of Xuanbing Palace.

Naturally, there is no need to let the tribe know.

"Over the years, the Liu family has maintained a gentle and low-key attitude. They no longer quarrel with other foundation-building families or invade their territories. Instead, they have shifted their focus to Liaoyuan Immortal City and made friends with higher-level forces, effectively breaking out of their current circle..."

"I thought the Liu family had high standards and a long-term vision, and looked down on the small piece of land of our Lin and Zhou families. I didn't expect that they had no choice but to do so and were restricted by the Xuanbing Palace."

Lin Xianchu and Liu Chengfeng are not much different in age and can be considered to be of the same generation.

Therefore, Lin Xianchu also knew about the Liu family's destruction of the two major families.

At that time, although there were some frictions between the Lin family and the Zhou family, there were no major conflicts or contradictions, and it was far from the endless struggle like today.

The reason was very simple. At that time, the Liu family was too ferocious, and both the Lin and Zhou families were worried about being invaded by the Liu family.

With a strong enemy lurking nearby, naturally there was no desire to fight.

However, as time went by, the Liu family became low-key and gentle, revealing that they would never take the initiative to provoke other families in the future. Moreover, they have been consistent in their words and deeds for decades, which made the Lin and Zhou families relax their vigilance.

Then, the inexplicable conflict between the two families intensified and the hatred deepened.

"Now that I know the Liu family's concerns, I can leave with peace of mind."

A smile appeared on Lin Xianchu's face.

The next moment, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.

His originally good spirits instantly waned.

"Ancestor!"

Everyone exclaimed and someone came forward to help.

Lin Xianchu waved his hand to stop the crowd, only letting Lin Changgeng beside him support him. "I am already on my deathbed. You must listen carefully to what I say next and remember it..."

"First, before this war began, Daoheng informed me that I should select a new clan leader. At the time, I thought I would wait and observe after the war and discuss it with everyone. I didn't expect that I would run out of time, so the old man acted arbitrarily this time and directly appointed the candidate."

"The new clan leader will be taken over by the seventh elder Daoyuan."

The seventh elder, Lin Daoyuan, has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. He was previously in charge of the affairs of the General Affairs Hall. He is familiar with all matters big and small in the family and has made many contributions to the family.

The ancestor designated him as the successor to the clan leader, and he was very suitable. No one objected, and they all nodded while suppressing their grief.

"The second thing is about Chang Yue's training plan. Although the outcome of this war was not satisfactory, and half of the Zhou family's assets and resources were taken away by the Liu family, even if it's only half, after covering the expenses of this war, there will still be a lot left."

"After the situation stabilizes in a while, we must continue our purchase plan in Liaoyuan Immortal City. First, we must find a way to buy precious medicine that can improve Changyue's qualifications and break through the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining. Secondly, we must use the remaining resources and the wealth accumulated by our family to find a way to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"You will decide who to give this Foundation Establishment Pill to in the future. It will depend on yourselves, their qualifications, age, and contributions to the family. But no matter who it is given to, the family must have a spare Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"Also, the demise of the Zhou family and the Liu family's plans have made me realize one thing... Our Lin family must be prepared for a rainy day! This time we're going to Liaoyuan Immortal City to purchase supplies. After the purchase is completed, we should leave some of our clansmen to develop in the Immortal City. This will serve as our Lin family's retreat in the future!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Changyue was in a heavy mood, with a tightness in his chest.

Although he no longer needs the support of his family, he now has seventh-grade spiritual roots and will have plenty of opportunities to improve in the future.

But at this time, just listen quietly to the arrangements of the ancestor.

"Third, it's about you, Chang Geng."

Lin Xianchu looked at Lin Changgeng kindly, his eyes filled with pity. "Changgeng, don't blame yourself. Even if I hadn't been injured, I wouldn't have lived many years longer. Living to over 140 years old is considered a natural death for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. But you are still young, and your future achievements are limitless. Perhaps you can reach the late Foundation Establishment stage like Liu Chengfeng. I've made a great profit in exchange for you, my old bones. You are the hope of the Lin family. So, you must cheer up, so that I can die in peace, understand?"

Lin Changgeng burst into tears, kneeling beside the old ancestor and sobbing.

For nearly a hundred years, Lin Xianchu has been the pillar of the Lin family, and many members of the family have received his care and guidance.

But Lin Changgeng was definitely the one who received the most care.

He was able to establish his foundation in his thirties. In addition to his own talent and hard work, the careful cultivation of his ancestors was also indispensable.

"Alright, from now on you will be the only one in the Lin family who has established his foundation. You have to take on the important responsibility and you can't act like a child anymore."

Lin Xianchu gently stroked Lin Changgeng's head, just like an ordinary grandfather loving his grandson.

Seeing this scene, the other people in the hall couldn't help but have tears in their eyes and sob.

"The fourth point is about Chen Ping's arrangements. On the way back, I repeatedly tried to sound him out. I can confirm that this man has a great secret and a great opportunity! His future achievements are bound to be limitless."

"It's a blessing from heaven that my Lin family was able to recruit him. Without Chen Ping, our fate would have been very miserable this time. Therefore, you must not forget this favor. No matter what Chen Ping asks for, as long as it is within the Lin family's ability, we should help."

"For example, if Chen Ping builds his foundation in the future, our Lin family will give him priority if we purchase foundation-building pills."

"As long as Chen Ping is willing to stay and become one with the Lin family, then Chen Ping's status will be equal to Chang Geng and Chang Yue!"

"Just because he's from another family doesn't mean you should be wary or cautious of him. A person like this will only be loyal to you if you treat him with sincerity!"

"But what I'm worried about is that our Lin family is so shallow that it can't support a dragon. He won't stay with the Lin family for too long. If one day Chen Ping wants to leave, we can persuade him to stay, but we must not force him!"

"He's determined to leave. Even if he wants to take his wife and children with him, we can't object."

"Otherwise, this opportunity could turn into a disaster. Remember, remember."

After explaining four important things and asking everyone to remember them, Lin Xianchu no longer had the motivation to continue.

After muttering a few more words and muttering to himself, he closed his eyes quietly and passed away.

The ancestor of the Lin family is gone.
