Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

After He Yuanqing finished speaking, he eyed Lin Shilu's reaction with what seemed to be a hint of unease.

He Yuanqing's words appeared complimentary, but they were obviously under direction from the Sun Family, and such a despicable act could not have gone unnoticed by Lin Shilu.

Lin Shilu remained calm, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger, and he offered no comment.

Seeing that Lin Shilu was silent, a representative from the Chen Clan, Chen Jingping, stood up and said,

"He, you are mistaken. The Lin Family is rightfully the first-ranked family at this market's competition. Elder Lin Shikang even expended a huge cost to kill Jin Zhiying, and with several Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Lin Family, they are without a doubt the premier family of the Luoyun Mountain Range, both in terms of merit and family strength. In my opinion, the Lin Family should take sixty percent, the Sun Family fifteen, the Luo Family ten, and the remaining fifteen should be divided among the Qi Refining Families."

As Chen Jingping finished speaking, the great hall immediately buzzed with activity as dozens of people began to voice their opinions.

Within moments, the dozens of people split into two camps, one favoring the Sun Family, the other the Lin Family.

All of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Lin Family remained silent, watching the two factions bicker with calm detachment.

Somewhere along the way, He Yuanqing spoke up to Lin Shilu,

"Please, Elder Lin, give everyone an explanation," he said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shilu flashed a fierce smile and suddenly bellowed, "An explanation? What explanation do you want?"

Facing Lin Shilu's outburst, He Yuanqing's complexion instantly turned deathly pale, and a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing He Yuanqing injured, Sun Dingfeng's face immediately darkened.

Lin Shilu's reaction clearly indicated he was not willing to easily give up the benefits. This made it much harder for the Sun Family to secure enough interest. After all, facing the powerful Lin Family, they dared not offend them easily. Thus, Sun Dingfeng inevitably felt less confident.

"Lin, calm down. Whatever grievances your Lin Family has, just speak frankly. We can discuss it. There's no need for anger. After all, just two months ago, we fought side by side!"

Faced with Sun Dingfeng's appeasement, Lin Shilu's expression softened slightly. Discover more content at empire

"Daoist Sun, do not forget that two months ago, the younger generation of my Lin Family saved the younger generation of your Sun Family. During the Jin Family's pursuit, it was also my Lin Family that provided shelter. It could be said that my Lin Family has shown great kindness to your Sun Family. Even Daoist Luo Chenggu was saved by us. Now, when it comes to profit distribution, you show this attitude?"

Lin Shilu spared no irony in his scathing words, leaving Sun Dingfeng and the two others visibly embarrassed, and Luo Chenggu began weakly attempting to mediate.

"Hmph, our Lin Family will take sixty percent of the profits. As for your two families, you can discuss it amongst yourselves."

Lin Shilu's bold demand visibly altered their expressions.

The Jin Family had only taken thirty percent in profits, and with sixty percent, that would be doubling it. This would leave their families with almost no growth in interest, and in the long term, the Lin Family would only get stronger.

"Lin, sixty percent is indeed too much. The most we can offer is fifty. What do you think?"

Sun Dingfeng asked tentatively, as that was the bottom line based on their discussions with the Luo Family.

"Fifty percent is too little. How about this—since you and I are of the same realm, let's have a match. If I win, the Lin Family gets fifty-five percent. If I lose, we'll distribute it as Luo Daoyou suggested, at fifty percent. What do you say?"

Once Lin Shilu spoke, the whole room erupted, and Sun Dingfeng's face changed, filled with hesitation.

He was quite wary of Lin Shilu's strength, but refusing the challenge would be a loss of face.

Sun Dingfeng secretly communicated with Luo Chenggu and, receiving his agreement, spoke up,

"Let's do as Lin suggests. In fact, I would like to witness Lin's strength myself!"

"Very well, then let's gather outside the market square!"

With that, Lin Shilu and Lin Xingyuan stood up and left the reception room.
