Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

"What rumors?"

Lin Shilu urgently asked.

"A few days ago, a rumor suddenly spread throughout Luoyun Market, claiming the Lin Family had rashly seized control of the market, their ambition is not small, apparently aiming to unify the Luoyun Mountain Range!"

"Upon hearing the rumors, I immediately sought to trace their origin, but unfortunately, they spread too quickly and have become common knowledge. We don't have enough hands, and we've been unable to find the source of these rumors!"

Lin Shilu let out a cold laugh, which made Lin Xingyuan rather uneasy, thinking that Lin Shilu was dissatisfied with him, and he immediately became nervous.

"It's perfectly normal that you can't find the source. It's clear that either the Luo Family or the Sun Family did this intentionally. They just need to give some benefits to a few Qi Refining Cultivators to spread rumors, then quickly leave Luoyun Market and they'll be safe, making it natural for you not to be able to find the source."

Lin Xingyuan curiously asked,

"What purpose do the Sun and Luo Families have in spreading rumors? Aren't they afraid of tearing off the disguise and reigniting a great war?"

Lin Shilu chuckled lightly and explained,

"Firstly, those who spread the rumors cannot be tracked, they may have already left Luoyun Market or could have been silenced. There's no need to worry about us catching them red-handed."

"As for the Sun and Luo Families spreading rumors, they're simply seeking sympathy and claiming the moral high ground. Once the Lin Family takes action against them, it will confirm suspicions of our great ambition to unify Luoyun, prompting resistance from many Loose Cultivators and even ostracism by them."

After hearing Lin Shilu's explanation, Lin Xingyuan came to a realization and immediately understood the reasons behind it.

"Fifteenth Uncle, shall we just ignore this and do nothing?"

"There is absolutely no need to bother with it or to continue investigating. The more intense our reaction, the more likely we are to be misunderstood by those Loose Cultivators. Now that our family has just stabilized, it is unwise to start another conflict. All we need is a stable development for ten years. With Tian Ming's terrifying talent and the abundant resources, the gap between the Sun and Luo Families and us will only get bigger. By then, whoever has the bigger fist will call the shots; all other rules will be virtually meaningless!"

Lin Shilu's demeanor remained calm, not at all affected by these trivial matters.

After all, the Lin Family had no intention of thoroughly exterminating, only needing to boil the frog in warm water to achieve their goal. There was no need to be hasty, creating enemies everywhere and wasting the favorable situation at present.

"Instruct the family members in Luoyun Market not to bully others using our power nor to make enemies lightly. The family needs stable development now. If the other party provokes us, there is no need for courtesy, understand?"

"Yes, I will surely keep the family members in line!"

Lin Xingyuan responded and then fell silent.

"Hmm, it's about time. Let's go to the market conference together!"

With that, Lin Shilu stood up and left, with Lin Xingyuan quickly following behind him.

The two exited the Hundred Treasures Building and walked down the street, causing a huge stir.

With the Jin Family annihilated, the strength of the Lin Family had come to light, shocking all the Cultivators.

Seeing Lin Shilu personally visiting Luoyun Market, many low-level Cultivators came forward to pay their respects, trying to cozy up.

Lin Shilu responded with a smile and a few words, then made his way through the crowd toward the auction.

Shortly after, the two entered the grand hall of the auction and immediately went into the reception room.

Seeing Lin Shilu's arrival, representatives of the Qi Refining Families all stood up to greet him. Sun Dingfeng and Luo Chenggu also stood up to welcome him and then said with a smile,

"It is indeed Elder Lin Shi Lu who graces us with his presence at the conference. We owe you a great debt for your care after being trapped last time, which enabled our successful escape. After the conference, we must treat you to a few drinks to express our gratitude."

Faced with the courteous duo, Lin Shilu maintained his composure, showing no signs of irregularity.

He exchanged perfunctory pleasantries and then started chatting with some representatives of the Qi Refining Families.

Lin Shilu's good actions reassured many representatives of the Qi Refining Families, a complete contrast to the once overbearing and arrogant Jin Family.

Watching Lin Shilu engage in lively conversation with representatives of the Qi Refining Families, Sun Dingfeng and his companion felt somewhat awkward for a time.

After a short while, Lin Shilu waved his hand to silence the representatives of the Qi Refining Families and stood up to say,

"I, Lin Shi Lu, welcome all friends to this conference. I hope everyone can work with our families to make Luoyun Market a stable and prosperous market."

"Elder Lin truly is a role model for our generation..."

As Lin Shilu finished speaking, many representatives of the Qi Refining Families began to offer compliments.

Lin Shilu continued with a smile and a cupped-hand salute,

"The great war has just ended, and the Jin Family's unrighteous actions have caused huge losses to the four big families. The Wu Family has even been silently eliminated. Faced with the powerful Jin Family, our Lin Family had the courage to take responsibility and made great sacrifices, finally thwarting the Jin Family's conspiracy."

"Now that all is peaceful in all four directions, the profits of the market should be redistributed. Today, as you have all arrived, if you have any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to raise them."

After speaking, Lin Shilu sat down and stopped talking.

The room suddenly became silent, and no one spoke, resulting in an extremely awkward moment.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed and seeing no one speak up, Sun Dingfeng covertly winked at He Yuanqing, who was sitting diagonally across from him.

Understanding, He Yuanqing stood up with clasped hands and began,

"Since the senior members are not speaking up, let me, He Yuanqing, throw out a suggestion for discussion. Anyone with objections can criticize and correct me. In my view, the Lin Family indeed played a significant role in this great war, and the Sun Family also suffered heavy losses. I propose that the Lin Family receives forty percent, the Sun Family thirty percent, the Wu Family fifteen percent, and the remaining fifteen percent be divided among the twelve Qi Refining Families. I wonder what the seniors and friends think about this suggestion?"
