466: Chapter 466 Arrangement

Great Sun City.

On the roof of the Pill Refining Tower, the Formation shimmered with a faint light, and a silver-white spatial portal cracked open. Liu Xuan stepped out from the portal.

"My understanding of spatial teleportation is becoming deeper and deeper. Once I reach the Late Golden Core Stage, I estimate I'll be able to teleport short distances even without borrowing Peach Blossom's power."

With the help of the Formation's power and Peach Blossom's Divine Ability, Liu Xuan could teleport between Great Sun City and the Star Academy in a short time, and he could afford the slight consumption it required.

In a flash of light, Liu Xuan appeared within the Liu Clan School. His Divine Sense spread out and swept across the area, and a refined young man with a gentle, jade-like temperament caught his eye.

His name was Liu Daoxian, ranked eightieth in the Family, with a fifth-grade Spiritual Root. His mother was Ye Manqing, a daughter from a small Family in Yongning.

Influenced by his mother Ye Manqing, Daoxian had a quiet and gentle personality, like polished jade. Unfortunately, Liu Xuan had too many children and had not paid much attention to him in the later stages.

The reason he entered Liu Xuan's sight this time was because he had recently succeeded in Foundation Establishment, becoming the eighth Foundation Establishment Cultivator among the Family's younger generation.

As the saying goes, a step ahead is always ahead. Although he didn't obtain one of the nine xuanhuang undying pills back then, he had managed to catch up from behind to become the eighth to reach Foundation Establishment, which was enough to prove his talent and Comprehension Ability.

"Son greets Father!" Seeing Liu Xuan, Daoxian put away his Talisman pen and bowed respectfully.

Liu Xuan waved his hand to signal that there was no need for formalities, then took out a Jade Slip and handed it over. "This contains a detailed explanation of three types of second-rank talismans. If there's anything you don't understand after reading it, you can come and ask me."

Daoxian had some accomplishments in the path of Talismans, so Liu Xuan could find time to give him some pointers.

"Thank you, Father!" Daoxian accepted it joyfully. He didn't like fighting and killing; his only obsession was Talismans.

Liu Xuan tossed him a Storage Pouch. "This is your reward for having established your dao foundation. Keep it well!"

Before he could speak, Liu Xuan handed him another token. "This is a second-rank talisman master token from the Star Academy. If you're interested, you can go there in a while."

"Various geniuses from the Beast Taming Sect have gathered there. Communicating more with them will be helpful for your future path of Dao."

In the path of cultivation, whether it's Cultivation Techniques or immortal cultivation skills, communicating more with fellow Daoists is always more effective than working behind closed doors.

Thousands of Great Daos are interconnected; by seeing the achievements of others, one might gain some insights.

"Son understands!" Daoxian bowed again. "May I ask Father, can my mother move there with me?"

Although Daoxian had also been taught and cared for by Liu Miao in the Clan School since childhood, his mother Ye Manqing didn't ignore him; she would pick him up every day to stay with her, making him one of the few day students.

"As long as your mother is willing!" Liu Xuan paused. "Your older brother and younger brother can also go together, but you'll have to take more care of them."

Ye Manqing had given birth to three children in total: Liu Daodan, ranked thirtieth; Liu Daoxian; and Liu Deyang, ranked three hundred and ninety-second.

Liu Daodan had a ninth-grade Spiritual Root and was now at the Late Qi Refining Stage. Liu Deyang was only seven years old and had just begun practicing the Martial Dao Body Sculpting Art.

After some small talk about Family matters, Daoxian asked for advice on some cultivation difficulties, and Liu Xuan explained them one by one before leaving.

Afterward, Liu Xuan successively summoned the other seven children with Foundation Establishment cultivation, deciding whether they should stay in Great Sun City or head to the Star Academy for development based on their individual situations.

The Eldest Son was stationed in Great Sun City. He had recently gained some insights in his cultivation, so there was no rush for the time being.

Daocheng and Ninth Son were already at the Star Academy. These two couldn't stay idle and were the most proactive.

Dao Yong was also skilled in Talismans and was currently serving as a Talisman teacher at the Clan School. He would head over once the Liu Clan School at the Star Academy was established.

Dao Ming was in charge of the Merchant Alliance's business and was already preparing to shift the business focus to the Star Academy.

Ling Miao, on the other hand, didn't have much to do. She was now a confidante of her aunt Liu Miao and the first madam Lin Xue'er, in charge of punishments at the Liu Clan School. She was a nightmare that made the younger generation turn pale at the mention of her name.

Ling Hui was working at the City Lord's Mansion. While Eldest Son was the City Lord in name, she was the one actually acting as City Lord, handling every aspect of Great Sun City.

Besides the eight Foundation Establishment children, Lingyue and Dao Xing, who had previously taken xuanhuang undying pills, were at the Qi Refining Peak and would soon reach Foundation Establishment.

There were as many as thirty-seven children at the Late Artifact Refining Stage, and among the hundred or so children over thirty years old, eighty percent would certainly be able to break through to the Late Qi Refining Stage, and fifty percent could reach the Qi Refining Peak; it was just a matter of time.

The foundation establishment pills rewarded by the System guaranteed a one hundred percent success rate. As long as they could touch the Bottleneck of a Breakthrough, Liu Xuan could make them succeed in Foundation Establishment.

By a rough estimate, as long as thirty percent of these hundred children could touch the Bottleneck, that would be thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The Spiritual Roots of the first hundred children were relatively low, but the Spiritual Roots generally improved further down the line. Among the hundred or so people in the eighteen to thirty age range, at least half had hope for Foundation Establishment.

The natal spirit beasts of the siblings Dao Long and Spirit Phoenix, who both had Third-grade Spirit Roots, Big Green and Little Green, had grown to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. At twenty-four years old, their own cultivation had already reached the seventh layer of Artifact Refining, and they were expected to reach Foundation Establishment before thirty.

In the next ten years, the Liu Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators would enter an era of explosive growth. All Liu Xuan needed was to wait patiently.

Liu Xuan patiently looked through the information on the Family's children compiled by Lin Xue'er, and combined with the records of the spirit treasure genealogy, he planned a suitable growth path for each of them.

Those with the same talents were gathered together for instruction. While improving efficiency, this also allowed them to learn from each other, and the learning process could be compiled into volumes and stored in the Family Legacy Hall.

The children ranked lower would have their management skills cultivated early on. In the future, even if they couldn't reach Foundation Establishment, they could still represent the Liu Clan in guarding local Spiritual Veins or taking charge of the Merchant Alliance's grassroots business. They could also expand the Family lineage and increase the Liu Clan's heritage.

'With over six hundred children, the Liu Clan's Foundation is set. In ten years, when the number of children exceeds a thousand, everything will be stable!'

'Back then, the Red Pine Sect only had about six hundred Inner Sect Disciples in total, and their overall talent couldn't even compare to my six hundred children.'

'In other words, I have fathered more Geniuses than an entire Golden Core Sect!!'

For a Golden Core Family like Xiao Changfeng's, after several hundred years, the branch descendants numbered in the tens of thousands, yet they had only produced one Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Xiao Mingcheng.

The Liu Family's current heritage was far beyond what a Golden Core Family could compare to; it was at least at the Nascent Soul Family level, and that was without even considering future potential.

"Father, the task you assigned has been completed. This is the list of candidates for replacing several major positions in Great Sun City. Please take a look."

Ling Hui was dressed in a bright yellow cross-collared robe with wide sleeves. Having been in a high position for a long time, she had developed a faint air of authority.

The shift in the Family's focus affected internal power dynamics as well as the turnover of power in all of Great Sun City.

This kind of thing should have originally been done by the two Golden Core True Persons, Yue Li or An Yunxi, but to train his daughter's ability, Liu Xuan handed it to her first to try.

"Very good!" Liu Xuan nodded with satisfaction and handed the list back to her. "You are more capable than many of your aunts. From now on, I will leave the major affairs of the clan to you!"

An Yunxi and Yue Li had high cultivation, but neither was good at handling mundane affairs, nor were they interested in them.

Other capable women would have reservations when doing things, afraid of offending sisters in the harem, and they were prone to having personal agendas. After some comparison, his daughter Ling Hui's way of doing things was most to Liu Xuan's liking.
