95: What do you think of the head of the family?

Inside the pavilion, Lin Xianzhi held the Glinting Metal Stone and examined it for a while, his face no longer able to hide his joy.

He then handed the Glinting Metal Stone to Lin Houyuan for inspection.

"Shiming, you've done very well. You've made another great contribution to the Family."

"Have you notified your Fifth Uncle?" Lin Xianzhi suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something, and asked Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming quickly waved his hand and respectfully said:

"Seventh Grand Uncle, Shiming was a bit too eager after discovering the vein and hasn't notified Fifth Uncle yet."

"Excellent. The Qingxuan Sect has already sent people to Lingnan County. The Li Family found people to cause trouble, increasing the tribute our Family has to pay by threefold!"

"If even a hint of this news is discovered, I'm afraid the tribute will be manipulated by them again!"

After Lin Xianzhi finished speaking, the three of them secretly resented the Li Family's actions.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, Shiming has another discovery!" Lin Shiming spoke again, and this time, his expression was even more solemn.

This made Lin Xianzhi's brows furrow. He waved a Formation Flag again, further strengthening the spirit-isolating Formation of the Green Lotus Pond on Fangmu Mountain.

Actually, the Green Lotus Pond's own Formation was already extremely strict, and Lin Xianzhi himself rarely strengthened it further. However, he now realized that eight out of the last ten times were because of Lin Shiming.

As the spirit-isolating Formation was strengthened, Lin Houyuan, who was nearby, looked a bit strange. He wondered why the Glinting Metal Stone hadn't warranted such strictness earlier.

Could there be something more valuable than a High Grade second-tier Glinting Metal Stone Vein?

But the next moment, when Lin Shiming took out a jade box, a precious light shone through it.

The two felt as if thunder had struck, their shock even greater.

After Lin Xianzhi took a look, he suddenly took out a Formation Flag from his in my arms, casting ten Formation Flags in a row, and performing a full ten spirit incantations.

He reinforced the spirit-isolating Formation by another ten layers, and even activated Fangmu Mountain's defensive Formation.

"Is this a Little Divine Tree?" It was Lin Shiming's father, Lin Houyuan, who first swallowed his saliva, breaking the silence.

"Yes." Lin Xianzhi said, while taking out a High Grade third-tier spirit jade to make a jade box.

Only after replacing the jade box was the precious light prevented from overflowing.

"Seventh Grand Uncle, Father, I obtained this from the Immortal Cave of that Cultivator Wu. No one else knows about it yet." Lin Shiming explained, seeing the cautious expressions of the two.

"It's just a pity that this treasure tree is only sixty years old!"

"No need for pity, Shiming. As long as I, Lin Xianzhi, am alive, no one will be able to snatch your Minor Divine Power Fruit!" Lin Xianzhi said with absolute certainty.

"This tree will be cultivated by you in your Immortal Cave. Recently, I will strengthen the Formation of your Immortal Cave and set up a High Grade third-tier defensive and isolation Formation!"

Lin Xianzhi's series of words instantly warmed Lin Shiming's somewhat anxious heart.

On the way, he had actually considered whether or not to reveal the Little Divine Tree. Revealing it for Seventh Grand Uncle's Purple Mansion later use could also increase the Family's foundation.

But he had also considered keeping it for himself, as it could grant him a Minor Divine Ability.

Additionally, this Little Divine Tree could only be planted on Fangmu Mountain, so it was impossible to hide it from Lin Xianzhi.

But he hadn't expected that his worries were unnecessary. Lin Xianzhi directly promised that the Minor Divine Power Fruit of the Little Divine Tree would belong to him.

One must know that Lin Xianzhi is currently at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and would certainly reach the Purple Mansion before him, a Cultivator still in the Qi Condensation Stage.

He would also be the fastest to use it, and logically, it would be the greatest help to the Family.

"Houyuan, Shiming, this matter must not be mentioned to any third party!" Lin Xianzhi finally reiterated, warning that if the news of this Little Divine Tree were to leak.

It wouldn't just be one or two people dying; the entire Lin Family would be doomed!

"Houyuan, this time, you will make the trip. Take the Formation Plate of the third-tier spirit-isolating Formation, find Hou Shou, set up the Formation, and then have Yu Zheng begin dispatching Cultivators, under the guise of relocating Mortals, and then secretly mine!"

"Yes, Seventh Grand Uncle!" Lin Houyuan agreed and immediately requested to go.

Although the Little Divine Tree was more important and more valuable.

The High Grade second-tier spirit material Glinting Metal Stone Vein should not be underestimated either.

If well-managed, it could influence the market for High Grade Magical Artifacts.

Especially after learning that Lin Shiming had only set up a second-tier Formation, and it was a third-tier Spiritual Vein, he became even more anxious and rushed off without delay.

On the scene, only Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi remained.

"Additionally, Shiming, you don't need to go. These days, I will guide you in refining your Spiritual Qi. You need to prepare for Foundation Establishment!"

"Yes, Seventh Grand Uncle." Lin Shiming agreed without much thought. His goal in going to Lingnan had already been achieved.

Even if he were asked to go, he had no reason to stay there.

Instead, he could begin refining his Spiritual Qi on Fangmu Mountain to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Now that Lin Xianzhi was going to teach him, he was naturally even more delighted.

"Also, what do you think of the Family Head?"

When Lin Xianzhi spoke again, Lin Shiming was shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

"No need to be too surprised, and no need to worry too much that being the Family Head will affect your Cultivation!" Seeing Lin Shiming's shocked silence, Lin Xianzhi spoke again.

"Those who Cultivate the Dao, when Cultivating with a Family, half is to support the Family out of gratitude, and half is to utilize the Family for oneself. Your talent, disposition, and Luck are all High Grade. By becoming the absolute controller of the Family, you will go further."

After speaking, Lin Xianzhi stared at Lin Houyuan and said nothing more.

His words had been said; it was up to Lin Shiming.

"Thank you, Seventh Grand Uncle. Shiming is willing to try!" Lin Shiming finally nodded in agreement.

He hadn't been hesitant just now; he was just a little shocked.

Logically speaking, it was indeed a bit early for him to be Family Head at his age.

One must know that his father was the current Family Head, and he had some understanding of the position of Family Head.

The benefits of becoming Family Head were simply too great. For example, Cultivation resources: after becoming Family Head, he would become the Family's top Cultivator, no longer needing to worry about Spirit Stones or spirit water. At the same time, he could fully utilize the Family to aid his Cultivation.

Just like Lin Xianzhi and Lin Houyuan now.

Moreover, in Family affairs, as long as responsibilities were properly allocated, he would only need to make decisions, and it wouldn't have too much impact on Cultivation.

After all, there were still the various Elders... Lin Shiming returned to his Immortal Cave, his shocked heart settling down. But a higher position also meant higher responsibility, and it also required higher strength.

He wasn't idle at the moment.

First, he immediately planted the Little Divine Tree next to the Tian Ling Fruit Tree.

As soon as the treasure tree was planted, Lin Shiming felt that most of the Spiritual Qi began to be drawn towards him, which made him even more delighted.

The Spiritual Qi was denser, which incidentally also helped his Cultivation.

Next, Lin Shiming planted the xingshen flower seeds.

Then, he infused them one by one with the Spiritual Qi of the Purple Wood Heart Sutra, catalyzing the heavenly spirit fruit, xingshen flower, and other spirit plants one by one.

Finally, he dealt with the spirit bees and fed the three Spirit Beasts before returning to his stone bed to quietly ponder the Family's future.

Because, in his opinion, the Family needed reform!
