Chapter 228: Chapter 172 Decision_1
Two days later, Green Bamboo Mountain…
Lin Tianming and his companion were seated on the back of a Purple Gold Eagle, descending at the gate of their clan’s mountain.
The disciples of the Enforcement Hall responsible for patrolling the gate immediately approached to greet them.
Lin Tianming and his companion were in great spirits, having successfully returned to the gate with immense wealth, allowing them to relax their tense minds.
Lin Tianming raised his hand to send out a transmission, then instructed the Purple Gold Eagle to leave on its own; the two of them flew together to the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain.
At the peak of the main mountain, within Lin Shikang’s cave dwelling.
He sat on a straw mat with hands clasped in prayer, entering a deep state of cultivation—as such closed-door cultivation was a routine affair for him.
As the clan member with the highest cultivation, he had successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Level two years ago with the aid of a Hun Tian Pill.
As the clan’s power grew stronger and more clan members reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was less need for him to handle everything personally. He only needed to make major decisions with the Shi generation clan members and to hold the general direction of the clan’s development. As for specific execution, that was carried by the Xing generation clan members.
Thus, a few of the Shi generation clan members, led by him, rarely had idle time and also began to cultivate diligently.
When the restriction flashed, a transmission entered the training room.
Lin Shikang opened his eyes and saw the transmission sent by Lin Tianming, revealing a puzzled expression.
At the same time, Clan Leader Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong felt equally baffled by Lin Tianming’s transmission.
With a puzzled look, Lin Shikang released a Law Decree after finishing his cultivation and stood up, stepping out of the training room.
At this moment, Lin Tianming and his son had not gone directly back to their own cave dwelling but had come to his small courtyard to wait while drinking tea.
Upon seeing Lin Shikang come out, both of them quickly got up to pay their respects with a salute.
Lin Shikang laughed heartily, gesturing them to sit down, and then asked, “Xing Rong, why did you and your son come back so suddenly?”
“Third Uncle, it’s great news!” Lin Xingrong said impatiently.
Hearing this, Lin Shikang’s face brightened with joy as he eagerly inquired, “Oh, what’s the good news? Speak up and let me hear it!”
Just then, hearty laughter echoed through the courtyard. “What’s this good news? Why such an upheaval?”
Before the words were finished, Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong stepped into the courtyard together, followed by Lin Xingping.
Seeing Lin Tianming and his son returning together, Lin Shigong’s face was filled with smiles.
Lin Tianming and his son quickly stood up to greet them, then exchanged pleasantries with Lin Xingping.
Lin Xingping replied with a smile, then asked, “Tian Ming, how was everything at the market? Tianhong didn’t slack off, did he?”
Hearing Lin Xingping’s caring words, Lin Tianming completely understood; after all, it was Lin Tianhong’s first time going to Qianchuan Market and the first time leaving the clan for an extended period. As his father, it was only natural for him to constantly worry about Lin Tianhong.
Thinking of how Lin Tianhong, although toiling hard at alchemy in the market, had not neglected his cultivation, and even improved his alchemy skills while earning a substantial amount of Spirit Stones, Lin Tianming anticipated great growth.
With that in mind, Lin Tianming spoke reassuringly, “Uncle Xing Ping, rest assured, everything at the market is fine. Second Brother has been very diligent, dedicating himself daily to alchemy and cultivation. I believe it won’t be many years before he can impact the Foundation Establishment Stage!”
Relieved to hear about Lin Tianhong from Lin Tianming, Lin Xingping replied with a laugh, “That’s good to hear… Having Tian Ming as a role model, that kid has finally learned to put in some effort!”
In response to Lin Xingping’s praise, Lin Tianming exchanged pleasantries before they all took their seats.
In the courtyard, six clan members were now present. Except for Lin Shilu and Lin Xingyuan, who were each in different markets, all the Foundation Establishment clan members of the family had arrived.
Seeing everyone assembled, Clan Leader Lin Shihua, who could hardly wait any longer, urgently asked about the purpose behind Lin Tianming’s transmission to them.
Seeing the eager eyes of the clan members upon him, Lin Tianming didn’t dare beat around the bush; he started by recounting his entry into Qianchuan Market.
Knowing the business at Luoyun Pavilion on its opening day was booming, everyone was excited. Lin Shikang thanked Ye Pinghai for his help while also praising their accomplishments.
On the side, Lin Shihua expressed his thoughts, “It seems the clan’s decision to develop in Qianchuan Market was correct. Now that Luoyun Pavilion has established itself, the clan has gained an additional source of income!”
“Indeed… the Luoyun Mountain Range is too small, and the traffic in Luoyun Market is limited. Simply relying on Luoyun Market, the clan won’t advance any further!” Lin Shigong joined in agreement.
Lin Tianming nodded, feeling that the family’s decision was indeed wise. Although the clan had integrated Luoyun Market and secured a greater dividend right, bringing in a considerable profit over the year—more than at the peak of the Jin Family—it wasn’t enough.
But as the clan’s territory and the scale of clan members were rapidly growing, relying solely on the wealth source of Luoyun Market couldn’t support them for long.

Taking advantage of the clan’s current capital to consider the problems they would face decades later and to take precautions would certainly not be mistaken.
Seeing Lin Tianming lost in thought, Lin Shigong drew him back, urging him to continue with the rest of the story.
The mention of Qingxu Snake Eggs and the acquisition of three Qiuxing Fruit Trees left the clan members shocked but then overjoyed.
When they learned that Lin Shilu had been gravely injured by Gu Tong, everyone’s face turned pale with shock, aside from Lin Xingrong, who already knew.
“What? Shilu was injured?” Lin Shigong asked anxiously, his expression not much different from Lin Xingrong’s when he first heard the news.
Seeing their concern, Lin Tianming did not delay and quickly shared the details of Lin Shilu’s injury.
