Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

"Our family is now capable of consistently raising high-grade demonic beasts!"

His voice was filled with surprise.

"It's been more than five years ahead of schedule!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyang's face still betrayed his excitement.

He now draws second-tier talismans mainly to exchange for spiritual items, but if we only consider the amount of spirit stones he earns...

Having already mastered drawing second-tier talismans, he now possesses a commanding perspective, achieving an 80% success rate in refining first-tier high-grade talismans.

That's where he makes the most profit.

The family provides a stable supply of ten high-quality monster pelts every year.

Two high-grade demon beast pelts are enough for ten talisman-making materials.

With the addition of spirit sand, the cost is around two hundred spirit stones.

Eight talismans were made in half a month. After deducting costs, the profit was three hundred spirit stones.

As an elder, he could take at least half of the share, earning six hundred spirit stones in a month.

Compared to refining second-tier talismans, the effort and cost involved are undoubtedly much more worthwhile.

Therefore, Lin Qingyang decided to personally return to Qingchi Mountain this time, along with two newly promoted deacons.

……

The three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators returned to Cangshan County unharmed.

In less than three days, we arrived at the foot of Qingchi Mountain.

"Another three years have passed; it has been ten years since I came down from the mountain."

Lin Qingyang was quite emotional; he had just turned forty this year, the age of no longer being confused.

The two newly appointed deacons beside him were both of the "Qing" generation and were slightly younger.

To break through to the late stage of Qi Refining at the age of thirty-something naturally indicates a mid-grade spiritual root aptitude.

Upon hearing this, however, a look of reverence appeared in their eyes. One of them respectfully said, "From helping the Hundred Talisman Pavilion's business recover, to turning the tide at Qishuitan, winning first place in the Four Clans' Magic Competition, and then advancing to the second-tier talisman master at Fenghuoshan."

"Elder, your contributions over the past ten years since you came down the mountain are second only to the clan leader."

Another cultivator of the Qing generation nodded repeatedly. The two of them were ten years younger than Lin Qingyang, but they had grown up listening to the legends of their cousin.

In just ten years, his numerous great contributions have earned him a reputation in the family that surpasses that of all the cultivators of the Zongqing generation.

"You guys."

Lin Qingyang shook his head. "The clan leader has devoted his entire life to the clan, saving it from collapse. How can I compare to him?"

The three of them entered the mountain, only to see white banners hanging in various places around the family.

Everyone knew something was wrong and quickly hurried back.

Sure enough, the person who greeted them this time was not Lin Yaoyan, the Grand Elder after the Battle of Qishuitan.

Instead, it was Lin Zonghong, the fourth aunt who managed thirty acres of sacred land.

"Qingyang, you're back."

Lin Zonghong had clearly been crying; her eyes were red. "Elder, I'm leaving."

Lin Qingyang's expression was not good. He had no interaction with Elder Lin Yaoyan before he turned thirty.

However, after being promoted to steward in the Battle of Qishuitan.

After several encounters, he realized that this uncle of the Yao generation was truly devoted to the family.

For the past thirty years, the Lin family of Qingchi has relied on two pillars of strength from the Yao generation.

Lin Yaojiang was seriously injured and went into seclusion, so Lin Yaoyan took charge of all the family affairs.

"Take me to the funeral hall to offer incense."

The three of them headed towards the mourning hall.

At this moment, besides Lin Yaoyan's descendants, there was also a white-haired cultivator inside, none other than Lin Yaojiang.

The white hair that used to be hanging down to my shoulders has mostly turned black again, which is a sign that vitality has made up for it.

At this moment, his cultivation level had already broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Upon seeing Lin Qingyang and the others return, he spoke with a touch of melancholy, "I have been in seclusion for decades, and the burden has basically fallen on my third brother's shoulders."

"The elders' council noticed his heart failure three years ago after the Battle of Qishuitan."

"I had planned to find him a second-tier spirit pill, but I couldn't wait."

Lin Yaojiang was very sad at this moment and walked away.

In the past three years, two members of the Yao generation have passed away.

Now that Lin Yaoyan has passed away, he is the only one of his generation left.

Will he ever see the Lin family produce another Foundation Establishment cultivator to continue their bloodline?

After the clan leader left, only Elders Lin Qingyang and Lin Zonghong remained on the field.

Although Lin Zonghong had temporarily taken over the division of labor in the Transmission Pavilion, he dared not sit down in the position of the Grand Elder.

Her reputation is far from sufficient.

Lin Qingyang immediately stepped forward, and after respectfully offering incense with two stewards, he proceeded to handle Lin Yaojiang's funeral arrangements.

Because Lin Yaojiang died suddenly, no arrangements were made for the inheritance of his estate.

Despite serving as the Grand Elder for many years and supporting the younger generation of the family, he still had more than seven hundred spirit stones left in his storage bag.

This is a fortune that many elders would find tempting, and it would naturally attract competition.

Lin Qingyang naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch this happen.

"Who is the Grand Elder's descendant?"

He finished speaking.

Lin Zongyu led out a young girl in her teens, whose cultivation level was only at the second level of Qi Refining.

"I hereby inform the elder that among Elder Yaojiang's direct descendants, only his great-grandson Lin Changyuan possesses a low-grade spiritual root."

After he finished speaking, the girl beside him was visibly nervous and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Elder Qingyang."

Lin Zongyu added, "Elder, although Changyuan's spiritual root is somewhat inferior..."

"But at such a young age, he has already cultivated the third level of the Spirit Nurturing Technique."

"You have made great contributions to the breeding of the family's Azure Spirit Deer and Water Python, and we hope that the elders can show some concern for you."

He came here to support his apprentice.

Because of the large inheritance left by the Grand Elder, it was easy for others to covet it. He knew that many people from the Qing and Zong generations had their eyes on this spirit stone.

Lin Changyuan's parents are just ordinary people, how could they possibly defeat the other side?

Lin Qingyang was quite surprised. He gently stroked the girl's forehead and asked, "Have you ever been to Uncle Yaoyan's residence?"

"Um."

Lin Changyuan nodded and said timidly, "I stayed at the Transmission Pavilion for a while before becoming Uncle Zongyu's disciple."

"Understood, don't worry, there are family rules."

Lin Qingyang looked up and glanced around, pondering for a few moments.

Considering that Lin Changyuan could cultivate a first-grade high-level demon beast in advance, giving him a few more years to accumulate spirit stones would be helpful.

So, he took out a talisman in front of everyone, along with eight hundred spirit stones, and handed it to Lin Changyuan.

This talisman emitted jet-black arcs of electricity and exuded an aura of destruction; it was indeed the Yin Thunder Talisman.

"Uncle Yaoyan made great contributions to the family. Changyuan is his descendant and has even mastered the third level of the Spirit Nurturing Technique, possessing considerable merits."

"I do not wish to see this Yin Thunder Talisman used within the family. I hope everyone will exercise restraint."

Lin Qingyang didn't waste any more words and then walked away.

Upon his return, he found that his mindset had changed significantly.

He knew that after this slight deterrent, there was a high probability that no one would dare to have any ulterior motives.

However, he still bestowed upon Lin Changyuan a second-tier Yin Thunder Talisman, providing her with support.

It is because she resembles Lin Qinggui and Lin Zongyu.

Such talent, capable of generating new sources of income, is what the family needs.

If everyone in a family strives to reach the Foundation Establishment stage and no one manages the family finances, it will eventually lead to insufficient income and the extinction of the bloodline.

This is why the family explicitly states in the Enlightenment Hall that it is extremely difficult for those with inferior or low-grade spiritual roots to establish a foundation, and why they arrange for them to go down the mountain to work for the family early on.

Lin Qingyang was also quite fortunate that he had been persistent enough in his cultivation back then.

Immediately afterwards, he was going to see Lin Qinggui.

Because the family now has a stable supply of first-tier high-grade demonic beasts.

My cousin has also developed two top-grade spiritual dishes: snake soup and deer antler wine.

Including the previous six types of spiritual food, his other mission this time was to take them to Feng Huo Shan to expand the family's wealth.

After Lin Qingyang left, several other people also left.

In a family with nearly two hundred cultivators, there are bound to be a few who harbor wicked intentions.

At this point, a wake-up call is needed; a second-tier Yin Thunder Talisman is enough to bring everyone back to their senses.

Aside from a few exceptions, the rest of the Lin family would die instantly if they encountered them.

Thanks to Fengshan Mountain being the largest trading hub within a radius of tens of millions of miles.

Therefore, news of Lin Qingyang's breakthrough to the second-tier talisman master and the power of the Yin Thunder Talisman had long been spread throughout the four prefectures under the Qingyuan Sect.

At this moment, many people looked at Lin Changyuan with great envy, knowing that this talisman was worth at least three hundred spirit stones.

Lin Zongyu was very happy at this moment. He gently patted Lin Changyuan's forehead and said, "Changyuan, you have Elder Qingyang's talisman. Your safety is guaranteed, so your master can rest assured."
