Chapter 869: Lin Tianyun's Plan
With Lin Tianming's generous gifts, Lin Xingyao held a large cache of precious treasures and resources.
Among these treasures were items of considerable value, which even Lin Xingyao, who had reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, found hard to resist.
However, as the nominal clan leader of the Qingyun Mountain Clan Land, Lin Xingyao exercised significant authority, and his status was not low.
At the very least, besides the Golden Core Stage clansmen here, Lin Xingyao and a few other Foundation Establishment Stage clansmen held considerable real power, their status just below those of the Golden Core Stage clansmen.
As a clansman responsible for the normal operation of the Qingyun Mountain Clan Land, Lin Xingyao had to set a good example and certainly couldn't indulge in corruption.
Thus, following Lin Tianming's instructions, he planned to use this large amount of precious resources on every member of the Lin Family.
After arranging these matters, Lin Tianming then entered the practice room for a brief period of closed-door cultivation.
At the same time, Lin Tianming was also making the final preparations for leaving the Jinfeng Nation.
...
Wei Kingdom, Lin Family Clan Grounds at Green Bamboo Mountain.
On this day, deep within the Lin Family Clan Grounds, the silhouettes of several Lin Family Members appeared within a certain cave mansion.
At that moment, these clansmen sat together, sipping tea and chatting, creating quite a lively scene.
Among these clansmen, Lin Shikang sat in the position of honor.
To his left and right sat Clan Leader Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong, the two senior-generation clansmen.
Below the three of them were several other clansmen, including Lin Xingrong, Lin Xingping, and Lin Tianyun.
As the group of clansmen chatted, Clan Leader Lin Shihua glanced at those present and couldn't help but break into a contented smile.
In his eyes, the rapid development of the Lin Family over the years meant that such complete high-level gatherings were not often seen in recent decades.
This was because the Lin Family's growth was increasingly rapid, with territories expanding ever larger.
Moreover, the Lin Family controlled numerous spirit land industries, with territories extending across the Wei Kingdom and Jinfeng Nation.
In these two major territories, there were numerous spirit land industries, scattered across various corners of the domains.
Additionally, the Lin Family had two extremely important industries: the spirit stone mine vein in the Liusha Wasteland, and the Luoyun Commerce Alliance, which was organized and initially operated by Lin Xingrong.
Due to such a vast family business, the Lin Family's stride was considerable, requiring more high-level clansmen.
As a result, clansmen like Lin Xingrong, Lin Xingping, and Lin Tianyun were dispersed across various locations, each overseeing different critical industries for the Lin Family.
Thus, over time, it was not easy for clansmen like Lin Xingrong and Lin Tianyun to gather simultaneously at the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
Thinking of this, Lin Shihua's expression grew slightly flushed, feeling very gratified by today's gathering.
After a few casual conversations among the clansmen, Lin Shihua calmed down slightly.
Immediately afterward, Lin Shihua stood up and gestured for the chatting groups to halt.
He then chuckled and said, "My fellow clansmen, it is a truly joyous occasion that we are able to gather together today."
No sooner had he finished speaking, than Lin Shikang from the seat of honor nodded in agreement and couldn't help but chime in.
"What Shihua says is correct!"
"All of you have been tirelessly working in various regions for the family's century-long plan."
"To think, it's been quite some time since we've been able to gather so completely like today."
"It's just unfortunate that Tianming and Shi Lu have been away for so long, making this gathering of our family's upper echelon somewhat incomplete."
After saying this, Lin Shikang looked in a particular direction, his eyes filled with longing.
Seeing this, Lin Shigong proactively offered a word of comfort.
"Third Brother, there's nothing we can do about that!"
"After all, compared to our weaker past, our Lin Family is now a world apart!"
"Nowadays, with the Lin Family's rapid growth and expanding stride, the territories and various spirit land industries we've come to control have increased exponentially."
"Based on this, it's necessary for our clansmen to be dispersed to ensure the family's interests remain protected."
"As such, it's not an easy feat to organize a complete high-level gathering now."
"But this time, we're only missing Shi Lu and Tianming."
"And here we have us old folks, along with the Xing Generation clansmen like Xingping."
"Moreover, we have the middle-generation clansmen like Tianyun, which makes it fairly complete."
Hearing Lin Shigong's perspective, both Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua nodded, evidently in agreement with his reasoning.
Within their hearts, they understood the current situation, as well as the basic conditions of the Lin Family.
Based on this, being able to gather so many high-ranking clansmen at once was in itself a rare and praiseworthy occasion.
Realizing this, any slight regret that Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua felt gradually dissipated.
Besides them, influenced by Lin Shigong's words, Lin Xingrong, Lin Tianyun, and others also felt noticeably better.
