212: My sister-in-law's marriage

As an elder, Lin Xuanbo reprimanded, "You're right, it's not too late to realize this problem! What is the most important thing for a Cultivation Family to prosper? Isn't it the potential of the younger generation! If talented juniors are neglected, then what's the use of you being the Clan Chief?"

Lin Yuheng lowered his head; being criticized like this in public made it truly difficult for him, the Clan Chief, to save face.

Lin Yucheng quickly tried to smooth things over for his elder brother, saying cautiously, "Father, actually, Big Brother is quite good to Yongmao..."

Lin Xuanbo snorted coldly, interrupting Lin Yucheng, "You, as a father, are also at fault; when Yongmao was bullied, you didn't come to me to seek justice."

Lin Yucheng hadn't realized that just showing his face would drag himself into it; now, he dared not speak.

Lin Yongmao sighed helplessly; he could only comfort them, "Everything has passed. Let Big Uncle continue to be the Clan Chief! It seems there's no one in the entire Family more suitable to be the Clan Chief than him."

Lin Yongmao was afraid of being forced into the position.

"That's not necessarily true!" Lin Xuanbo still held a grudge against his eldest son; as the eldest son, he hadn't taken on the responsibility of an elder son. "Since you won't be the Clan Chief, then let your Second Uncle-Grandfather be the Clan Chief! This is also the result of our long consideration."

Second Uncle-Grandfather Lin Xuanzhong now had sufficient Lifespan; on one hand, he could preside over Family affairs, and on the other, he could obtain Family resources to continue to Cultivate.

Lin Yongmao finally breathed a sigh of relief; he patted his Storage Pouch, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. He handed the jade bottle to Lin Xuanzhong.

"Second Uncle-Grandfather, this is for you!"

Lin Xuanzhong was puzzled; he used his Divine Sense to probe the contents of the jade bottle, and the shock on his face did not dissipate for a long time.

"This is..." He quickly stopped himself and hurriedly said, "Yongmao, this is too precious! Don't let an old man like me use it!"

What Lin Yongmao gave Lin Xuanzhong was precisely a bottle of Spirit Concentration Pill; this jade bottle contained three Upper-Grade Spirit Concentration Pills and five Medium Grade Spirit Concentration Pills.

Even if Lin Xuanzhong's Spiritual Root Aptitude was mediocre, relying on these Medicinal Pills would be enough for him to Breakthrough to Core Formation!

It was just a pity that Lin Xuanzhong was the only Cultivator in the Family whose cultivation had reached Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection; otherwise, Lin Yongmao could have cultivated more Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Lin Yongmao said, "How can it be a waste to use it for Second Uncle-Grandfather? I still have many here; you can Breakthrough with peace of mind!"

Hearing Lin Yongmao say this, Lin Xuanzhong finally put away the bottle of Spirit Concentration Pill; he needed this kind of Medicinal Pill too much.

Once Lin Xuanzhong became a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, he could completely manage the entire Lin Family much better.

The Lin Family's development was rapid; now, there were eight Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in the Lin Family, including two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators, Lin Yuheng and Lin Yucheng.

There was also one Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, Lin Yumo.

With ample Cultivation resources, he should be the next Cultivator to advance to the Golden Core Stage.

Lin Xuanbo continued, "There's another major matter today that I'd like to announce to everyone here."

His gaze fell upon Lin Yulian, who was hiding in the corner. As soon as Lin Yulian saw her father's gaze, a blush appeared on her face, and she shyly lowered her head.

"Lin Yulian's marriage has basically been decided; I have chosen the Clan Chief of the Cao Family for her."

When Lin Xuanbo announced this major news, everyone showed excited expressions; they hadn't even heard this big news.

Lin Yongmao also found it incredible; how could two people who had barely met a few times suddenly take a liking to each other?

However, if his paternal aunt were to marry into the Cao Family and become the Clan Chief's wife, the Lin Family would lose a Foundation Establishment combatant.

Lin Xuanbo said, "I think that child Cao Yusheng is quite good, and he is even willing to offer a Low Grade Spiritual Vein from the Cao Family as a betrothal gift to the Lin Family, which shows how much he values Lin Yulian."

Lin Yongmao, however, secretly complained, "This Cao Yusheng is truly a spendthrift!"

Last time, a Low Grade Spiritual Vein was sold at the Yang City Auction, and it was also bought by the Lin Family.

This time, he's giving away another Low Grade Spiritual Vein; how many Low Grade Spiritual Veins does their Cao Family have?

Lin Yongmao walked over and said happily, "Congratulations, Little Aunt!"

Lin Yulian was too shy to say anything and quickly turned her head away.

Han Yuying teased, "Who was it that said they wanted to work hard to become a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator and a Second-Order Spiritual Planter of the Family so that they wouldn't have to marry out later? But who would have thought that your conditions were met, yet you're now in a hurry to marry out."

Lin Yulian quickly ran to Han Yuying's side, trying to stop Han Yuying from speaking.

The Lin Family Cultivators present all burst into laughter.

Lin Yongmao provided appropriate amounts of Medicinal Pills to the Family members based on their cultivation.

Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators received Upper-Grade Qi Condensation Pills and Upper-Grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators received Upper-Grade Yellow Sprout Pills.

...

Lin Yongmao returned to Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff; he hadn't brought Xiao Yongqian over yet.

Although the World Tree could absorb Xiao Yongqian's Supreme-grade Wood Spiritual Root without harm, Lin Yongmao couldn't bear to, fearing he might cause her any damage.

Mainly because Yongqian was too young, Lin Yongmao simply didn't dare to try.

He left a large number of Seven Treasure Spirit Eggs at home, all for Yongqian to eat; as an elder brother, Lin Yongmao could only do so much.

Lin Yongmao also brought Yong Miao back with him; the Little Girl was still unwilling to leave because she was so happy to be an older sister.

Lin Yongmao said that a new batch of magic candy gourds had been made on Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, and only then did Yong Miao resolutely return.

Yong Miao's Aptitude was quite good, a Supreme-grade Water Spiritual Root; although she didn't have a special Physique, the Cultivation speed of a Heavenly Spiritual Root was not something everyone could compare to.

She was now a small Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, but while her cultivation had reached that level, her mental maturity and combat experience hadn't caught up, so Lin Yongmao could only slowly guide her.

Lin Yongmao arrived at the quiet island in the lake and only then began his Cultivation.

"Now I can try it; let's see how the System's new function actually is?"

Lin Yongmao discovered that the System's new function [Simulated Arena] would mark Cultivators he encountered, allowing him to fight them in the Simulated Arena.

[Simulated Arena]

"System Prompt: Do you want to select [Lin Xuanbo] (Golden Core Early Stage) as your opponent?"

"Yes!" Lin Yongmao silently thought.

His figure disappeared from the island in the lake and appeared on an ancient arena. The ancient arena even had a Formation protecting it, randomly simulating the combat environment.

Five zhang in front of Lin Yongmao, a figure slowly appeared, none other than Lin Xuanbo, who was Lin Yongmao's simulated opponent.

This character was entirely a simulated character, capable of displaying the opponent's full strength without any reservation.

Lin Yongmao became focused; this was his first direct combat against a Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator. He felt he should at least have the ability to instantly kill his opponent, right?
