Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan - Chapter 34: Good Fortune After Catastrophe

“Tell me, should we seize this opportunity before this fellow grows stronger, and just…”

Luo Shenji suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with a hint of murderous intent as he looked down at the lake below.

Tu Qi, upon hearing this, showed a glimmer of interest, but it quickly subsided.

“Never mind. Our human race and the monster race aren’t sworn enemies. In ancient times, we were allies. Although our relationship isn’t as good as it was back then, the ancestral hall and many powerful beings from the monster race still have connections.

“Furthermore, this serpent’s intervention this time saved millions of our people. It has done a great service to our human race. If we act against it, what would we become!?”

Tu Qi’s words silenced Luo Shenji.

Indeed, he had been somewhat radical just now. He understood that his extreme reaction was mainly triggered by the monstrous degree of Lin Xuan’s performance. This time, absorbing so much dark energy, it was highly probable that this demonic creature had condensed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core. This item was so rare that there were only a few in the entire human realm.

Legend had it that those who condensed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core would have a ten percent higher chance of reaching the realm of a great power. Hence, those who had condensed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core had a special title within the human territory.

Seed of Greatness!

“Let’s go. There are many matters concerning the Luo God Dao. I will report the situation here to the ancestral hall.”

Tu Qi smiled and spoke. He was quite satisfied with this experience. Luo Shenji nodded. Between the two, they disappeared into the Nine Heavens.

…

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. In this time, the news of Renhuai County experiencing the Heavenly Dao Tribulation had quickly spread to over a dozen surrounding regions. Alongside this information were various deeds of the Lin Family.

A family of Eight Foundation Establishment cultivators!

When the Heavenly Dao Tribulation arrived, they didn’t cower behind their mountain gate but rather broke through the barriers to protect a million common people.

Lin Shanhai’s words, “The blood and soul of Lin’s descendants can’t bear to hear the wails of their fellow human beings,” had been widely circulated.

Similarly, Zhuge Wuyi’s statement, “Protecting the blood of humanity is an obligation we can’t shirk as cultivators,” had also spread throughout the surrounding regions.

Of course, the legend of Lin Xuan forcefully pulling the Golden Core with a single strike during the Heavenly Dao Tribulation, promoting to the Golden Core realm, was considered a marvel.

Consequently, within a short three months, over ten thousand rogue cultivators flocked from all directions. These rogue cultivators had no fixed abode, and their living conditions were extremely unstable. The heroic deeds of the Lin Family had given them hope.

At the very least, living in the Lin Family would ensure they wouldn’t be oppressed in their daily lives. When crisis came, they wouldn’t have to worry about being abandoned.

Naturally, if the original Renhuai County had been the case, it definitely wouldn’t have been able to support the influx of so many rogue cultivators. These individuals, if they cultivated even a little, would be sufficient to drain the spiritual energy of the entire Renhuai County.

In these three months, the spiritual vein on the Azure Heaven Mountain, originally at the Second Stage Primary, had leaped to the Third Stage High. It was sufficient for several Golden Core cultivators to practice there.

Within the boundaries of the Azure Heaven Market, the spiritual vein that was once a First Stage Peak had similarly leaped to become a Third Stage Initial.

Of course, the benefits were not limited to the Lin Family. Below Renhuai County, on thirteen town-level spiritual mountains, originally First Stage spiritual veins had all ascended to Second Stage.

Differing qualities!

The spiritual vein in the Qingfeng Town, where the Lin Family was originally located, had the highest grade, reaching the Upper Second Stage. Nourished by two Third Stage spiritual veins and thirteen Second Stage spiritual veins, the spiritual energy of Renhuai County had long become more than a hundred times richer.

During these three months, rogue cultivators had gradually found new First Stage spiritual veins throughout Renhuai County. Of course, they didn’t arbitrarily claim ownership; they knew who was in charge in Renhuai County.

Any rogue cultivator who discovered a First Stage spiritual vein and wanted to claim it for themselves respectfully visited the Lin Family on Azure Heaven Mountain, offering spiritual stones as tribute. They also voluntarily pledged that from now on, the Lin Family would be their ultimate authority and, like other First Rank powers, they would pay tribute annually.

Beyond just the spiritual veins, there were almost countless opportunities within the Heavenly Dao’s creation under Renhuai County’s jurisdiction. There was even a rogue cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation who, unintentionally, had swallowed a Source of Gold and successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm.

The Source of Gold was one of the Second Stage Foundation resources, usually born in mineral veins and extremely difficult to find. If one said that the number of cultivators who had moved to Renhuai County was relatively high, then the number of ordinary people who had migrated to Renhuai County in the past three months could only be described as massive.

Hundreds of thousands of commoners had, through various means, made their way to this place after learning about Renhuai County’s feats. Among them, there were even descendants of cultivators since having no spiritual roots, having parents who were cultivators was inconsequential.

They could only hope that Renhuai County, filled with opportunities and abundant spiritual energy, could grant spiritual roots to their children’s children.

“Family Head, we can’t continue like this. Hundreds of miles of land in Renhuai County are nearly packed.”

In the Lin Family’s grand hall, an elder of the Lin Family spoke up. Lin Wen, originally a clan elder responsible for managing common folk, gained a Third Rank spiritual root and reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Condensation after Lin Xuan changed his destiny. During the Heavenly Dao Tribulation, he broke through to the Fifth Layer of Qi Condensation.

In these three months, due to the sudden surge in the number of cultivators, Lin Xiuqi could only have the Grand Ancestor help Lin Family elders who were highly respected and had management experience break through to Foundation Establishment.

Fortunately, after Lin Xuan broke through to the Golden Core realm, he was able to accumulate a quantity of python seeds that had already reached fifty, so he was not stingy with them.

In the Lin Family, there were over a dozen elders like Lin Wen, and this was why, despite the multitude of external rogue cultivator powers, and even the presence of Foundation Establishment cultivators, everyone was still willing to respect the Lin Family.

It wasn’t just because there was Lin Xuan, a Golden Core expert, but also because during these three months, the Lin Family had displayed a number of Foundation Establishment cultivators that made them feel fearful.
