NOVPUBChapter 949: Chapter 504: Gathering of Golden Cores Chapter 949: Chapter 504: Gathering of Golden Cores Green Bamboo Mountain, Lin Family Clan Grounds, Sect Entrance Plaza.
At dawn, Lin Xingzhi led several members of the Enforcement Hall on a patrol around the clan grounds.
After returning to the sect entrance, Lin Xingzhi looked at the several clan members behind him with a faint smile on his face.
“Tiansong, these past few days we’ve had an uninterrupted stream of cultivators visiting our family. Make sure you all receive them well and remember not to neglect our guests.”
Upon hearing this, the clan members nodded in agreement. Then Lin Tiansong replied with a serious face,
“Rest assured, uncle, we will definitely take turns on duty here and will not neglect any guests.”
“Um…” no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Lin Xingzhi nodded in acknowledgment. He understood these clan members quite well. Having entrusted them with the task of receiving guests was a well-considered decision, so he felt fairly reassured.
...
However, he could not afford to be careless, as in the last half a month, representatives from dozens of large and small families had visited the Lin Family.
Most of these cultivators were from powers surrounding Qianchuan Market, with some traveling from afar.
They visited the Lin Family with various purposes.
Firstly, they aimed to forge connections with the Lin Family and get to know the principal figures in charge, in order to facilitate their business endeavors on the Lin Family’s territory.
After all, the Lin Family now had a robust overall strength with seven mountain ranges under their control, including the mid-sized Qianchuan Market.
Besides, there were Luoyun Market and many spirit land industries, offering abundant opportunities to earn Spirit Stones.
Secondly, the top experts of the Wei Kingdom were to converge on the Lin Family Clan Grounds, and these people wanted to seize this chance to witness the grandeur of the kingdom’s top experts.
For these reasons, the Lin Family Clan Grounds had been quite lively over the past two months.
There were visitors arriving at intervals to pay their respects.
And these individuals were still manageable, as they came from Foundation Establishing Families or Qi Refining Families, or were Independent Cultivators.
Owing to the Lin Family’s current status and power, even if there was some slight negligence on the part of the Lin Family, they dared not voice any complaints.
But in these recent days, the high-ranking members of the various Golden Elixir Forces headed to the Lin Family for a gathering.
These Golden Core Stage Cultivators were the absolute pillars of their respective powers, with personages such as Zhou Yunxiao and Lu Xingfeng making an appearance.
This put the Wei Kingdom’s top experts and those cultivators seeking the Lin Family’s favor in stark contrast.
Moreover, this was the first time in many years that the Lin Family was to host so many Golden Core Stage Experts.
For whatever reason, they must treat these events with utmost care to truly reflect the Lin Family’s image.
Therefore, Lin Xinghua repeatedly reminded Lin Xingzhi to remain stationed at the sect entrance during this period specifically to welcome these Golden Core Stage Experts.
Bearing such a duty, Lin Xingzhi dared not be negligent. He had stayed here for the last few days, constantly keeping an eye on every move outside the Formation.
Should a Golden Core Cultivator show up, he would be ready to welcome them without delay.
In light of this, Lin Xingzhi was also focused on the direction outside the sect entrance, sending out clan members to take turns patrolling the clan grounds every hour.
He remained on the spot, awaiting the arrival of Golden Core Cultivators.
As the sun rose high, the Lin Family Clan Grounds successively welcomed several groups of cultivators, the vast majority led by Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Lin Xingzhi did not personally intervene for these cultivators but arranged for Enforcement Hall members to receive them and settle them within the clan.
As the time approached noon,
the first Golden Core Stage Cultivator finally arrived at the Lin Family Clan Grounds—none other than Chen Maohua from the Yingchuan Chen Family, accompanied by more than twenty Foundation Establishment Stage clan members.
Upon seeing the visitors, Lin Xingzhi hurriedly went to meet them, not daring to delay.
“Young Lin Xingzhi greets Elder Chen!”
Lin Xingzhi greeted Chen Maohua with respect, his tone neither servile nor overbearing.
“Haha… Young friend Lin doesn’t need to be so formal!”
Chen Maohua waved his hand and glanced at Lin Xingzhi, who had reached the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level.
This level of cultivation, specially retained to receive guests, clearly showed the high regard the Lin Family had for them.
At the same time, it reflected the strength of the Lin Family’s core members, hardly inferior to that of the Chen Family.
Aware of this, Chen Maohua regarded the Lin Family’s overall strength even more highly.
Regaining his composure, he couldn’t help but admire the sight before him.
“Your clan’s location is truly excellent; the surrounding mortal towns are bustling, and the presence of cultivators is frequently seen. There is sure to be even greater developmental potential in the future.”
Hearing these words, Lin Xingzhi humbly replied,
“Elder Chen overpraises us; our Lin Family lineage spans merely a thousand years and naturally cannot compare with a clan of such long heritage as the Chen Family.”
“Heh heh…”
Chen Maohua chuckled softly, not picking up the topic, but instead inquired, “Young friend Lin, are Daoist Shi Kang and Daoist Ye at the clan grounds?”
“Replying to Elder Chen, the Elder has been waiting for some time now.”
“As for Elder Chen, having traveled so far and wide, please allow me to guide Elder Chen and the fellow Daoists to rest within the clan grounds for a moment.”
“Once you’ve had ample rest, our Clan Leader shall then host you all.”
“Um… lead the way!”
After Chen Maohua responded, he turned to instruct the clan members beside him, “During our visit to the Lin Family, you must all seek advice humbly and aim to make further progress.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Maohua’s clan members responded in unison.
