Chapter 295: Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, Jinzhou Zhang Family (Three-in-One Weekend Mega Chapter)
Outside the Council Hall, all eyes were on the scene at this moment.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Lin Shiming.
The elders and the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage had no objections; they knew that Lin Xianzhi was not dead, which meant that whoever the Family Head chose not only represented the will of Lin Shiming but also Lin Xianzhi's.
They naturally awaited the outcome.
Lin Shiming's eyes finally settled on Lin Houyong, his fifth uncle, who had once competed with his father, Lin Houyuan, for the Foundation Establishment seed, although now they were both at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.
His father, Lin Houyuan, had previously been the Family Head, and although he could continue, he was about to break through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and was currently preoccupied.
And Lin Houyong was just right, holding great prestige among both the 'hou' and 'shi' generations of the Lin Family, and he had stabilized the family's situation alone during the Great Righteous-Demon War and managed Lingnan County and Stone Ridge Cave for a long time.
In any case, he was the best choice.
"Fifth uncle, the family now needs a Family Head who can take us a step further!"
The meaning behind Lin Shiming's words was self-evident.
For Lin Houyong, it came as a surprise, as he had never expected Lin Shiming to consider him.
But then again, he was well aware that Lin Hou Yuan, the ninth of the 'hou' generation, was about to break through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
He had to step forward.
It was his unavoidable responsibility!
"I am willing to contribute my humble efforts to the family!" Lin Houyong nodded.
And thus, the position of Family Head of the Lin Family was finally confirmed, and the handover was next.
This handover did not take much time; after all, Lin Houyong had often acted as the proxy Family Head for Lin Hou Yuan and his son!
The clan meeting dispersed, and finally, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered again by the pavilion next to the Qinglian Pool.
The cultivators here were all aware of Lin Xianzhi's existence.
Of course, they did not know that Lin Xianzhi had gone to the Qian Family.
Lin Shiming glanced at Lin Houyong, as well as Lin Shijie and Lin Houwei, still planning to go to the Qian Family to meet them.
However, before he could speak his mind, Lin Houyong took out a Storage Bag.
"Family Head, this is something Seventh Great-Uncle told me to give to you!"
Lin Shiming was momentarily taken aback but then understood that probably before the news of his grand marriage had spread, Lin Xianzhi had already taken action.
And he had already successfully taken care of the Qian Family.
And had gone to Shuangmu Island.
Lin Shiming chuckled silently; such decisiveness and speed were indeed characteristic of his Seventh Great-Uncle.
Since there was no need to meet them anymore, Lin Shiming was also relieved.
As for the contents of the Storage Bag, he did not look immediately; instead, he turned his attention to Lin Shijie, who had spent a long time practicing on Shuangmu Island.
"Big brother, this is a new cultivation technique acquired by the family!" Lin Shiming also produced a Storage Bag, which naturally contained the Scripture of the Five Flames, a cultivation technique far superior to the original techniques of the Lin Family.
Lin Shitao was suitable with his Dual Spirit Root of fire and wood, and so was Lin Shijie.
He could also see that Lin Shijie's True Yuan was surging like waves, clearly showing signs of breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and during his time on Shuangmu Island, he must have fought a lot. At this moment, Lin Shijie no longer gave off the impression of being aggressive but rather of having all his sharpness fully contained.
With a solid foundation in his True Yuan, breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment would also maintain his combat effectiveness.
At first, Lin Shijie naturally refused to accept.
But Lin Shiyi and Lin Shitao, who had also received gifts from Lin Shiming, persuaded him, and he graciously accepted it!
For Lin Shiming, without these cultivators having spent the past five years helping him collect demonic monkeys of ancestral bloodline to refine the Primordial Magnet Seal, and even crafting Elixir Talismans, his time in the minor world would have been much more difficult.
It might have even ended in failure.
And it was these same people who guarded the Lin Family, allowing him to take the risk.
To him, these magic artifacts and cultivation techniques were matters of little importance.
Lin Shijie immediately began to inspect the items and discovered a Third Rank Superior Grade magic sword, the Scripture of the Five Flames, and the Secret Technique of the Spirit Controlling Seal and Soul Binding Forbidden!
He was overjoyed.
It is known that the Fiery Flame Scripture of the Lin Family could only be cultivated to the Early Stage of the Purple Mansion, and there was no progress with the later techniques.
Although it did not affect Lin Shijie in the short term, once he reached the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, his cultivation progress would be impeded.
And the path of immortal cultivation never waits for anyone!
This Scripture of the Five Flames was not only capable of breaking through to the Golden Core Late Stage, but it was also a Profound Rank Superior Grade cultivation technique!
Additionally, the magic sword was no ordinary item.
Lin Shijie was immediately grateful to Lin Shiming, but as he expressed his thanks, Lin Shiming simply waved his hand and continued to ask:
"Big brother, how is the situation on Shuangmu Island?"
"It's not optimistic. There is a larger island not far from Shuangmu Island, home to numerous Sea Cloud Birds. For now, the Lin Family can only rely on Shuangmu Island for defense!" Lin Shijie spoke hesitantly.
This was clearly the hidden danger of Shuangmu Island that Lin Houyuan had mentioned to him before.
But luckily, Lin Houshou remained on Shuangmu Island, depending on the Third Rank Superior Grade Island Protecting Great Array.
They could hold off the enemy for a time!
Lin Xianzhi was also set to rush to Shuangmu Island shortly, and although he needed to break through, there would be no problems with the island's defensive formations when the time was crucial. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Plus, Lin Xianzhi was not far from reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment; even the Lin Family had started preparing to find enough Spirit Veins to converge into a Fourth Rank Spiritual Vein to create the best conditions for his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.
After understanding the situation on Shuangmu Island, he also inquired about the state of affairs in Lingnan County and Stone Ridge Cave.
