After the gathering, Lin Tianming and Lin Tianyun left Lin Shilu's cave one after , Lin Tianyun returned to the cave to practice in seclusion, in order to recover the true energy and magic power consumed along the way, as well as his extremely exhausted state.
Lin Tianming took this opportunity to meet with some high-ranking clan members stationed in the clan territory, which was considered a normal activity before closing the door to life and death.
Over the past few days, many tribesmen who had not seen Lin Tianming for a long time came across him.
Through some communication, these tribesmen have already learned that Lin Tianming is about to enter the life and death retreat.
For this reason, all those who knew about it were extremely excited.
After all, Lin Tianming's retreat this time concerns the future of all members of the Lin family.
For this day, every member of the Lin family is looking forward to it and working towards this goal.
Now, this day is finally coming.
For this reason, as long as Lin Tianming can succeed, the Lin family will take this opportunity to soar to success.
Precisely because they understood this, after learning of Lin Tianming's plan, each of the tribesmen was extremely excited and expressed their extreme anticipation.
Lin Tianming felt a great sense of responsibility for such a reaction.
However, before taking this step, he had a lot of preparations to make. In addition to meeting with some important clansmen, he also had to prepare for the final step of the six-fold thunder tribulation.
Knowing this well, after Lin Tianming met with the clan members stationed there, he spent more than half a month taking Qin Xi on a tour of the territory controlled by the Lin family.
During this trip, he inspected the territory controlled by the Lin family and visited several important members of the clan.
To this end, he stayed in several medium-sized cities in the Lin family's territory for several days, such as Nanfeng City, Linyang Market, Qianyuan Market and other most important cities in the Lin family's territory in Jinfeng Kingdom.
In these cities, there are at least two high-ranking members of the Lin family in charge, and at most several high-ranking members of the Lin family reside here permanently.
Among them are Lin Tianfeng, Lin Tianyue, Lin Tianhong, Lin Tianqin and other peers who have a very good relationship with Lin Tianming, as well as the older generation Xing generation and the younger generation Chang generation.
Over the past half month, Lin Tianming has stayed in these cities one after another, and met these tribesmen whom he had not seen for a long time as he wished.
Nowadays, after decades of development, the Tianzi generation members who were very young at the beginning are now generally over 100 years old.
Among them, Lin Tianfeng, the oldest of the Tian generation, is already nearly 150 years old.
And now, after so many years of practice and growth, Lin Tianfeng's cultivation strength has reached the late Golden Core realm, and he is not far from the Golden Core Great Perfection level.
In addition to him, Lin Tianyue and Lin Tianhong are both quite talented and have entered the late Jindan realm in recent years.
Following closely behind were several clansmen in the middle Jindan stage, such as Lin Tianqin and Lin Changge.
As for the Xing generation, except for the first few who entered the Jindan stage, such as Lin Xingrong, Lin Xingping, Lin Xingzhi, and Lin Xingyuan, their cultivation levels can still keep up with the Tian generation.
The cultivation levels of the other members of the Xing generation have now been surpassed by the younger members of the Tian generation.
Even some of the younger members of the Chang generation are almost catching up with the Xing generation.
As a result, after these years of rapid development, the Tian generation of the Lin family has begun to replace the Xing generation of the Lin family, thus becoming the backbone of the Lin family's continued development and growth.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming felt very relieved and satisfied.
In his opinion, the Lin family was thriving from top to bottom, and both the Xing generation and the younger generation were growing continuously.
As of now, there are more than thirty members of the Lin family who have reached the Jindan stage, and those who have reached the middle and late stages account for half of the total.
Such a ratio is enough to show the vitality of the Lin family and its growth potential.
Based on this point alone, Lin Tianming couldn't help but compare the Lin family with other forces in Qingzhou.
After some analysis, it was found that the only forces that could surpass the Lin family in terms of the number of Jindan-stage cultivators and overall strength were the five Yuanying-stage forces.
As for the others, even the Liang family, the leader among the Jindan forces, cannot be compared with the Lin family.
And these are the current strength and foundation of the Lin family.
In addition, the Lin family's territory in Jinfeng Country has been firmly controlled by the Lin family through continuous development over the years.
Moreover, the immortal order in this territory is very stable, and the forces, both large and small, affiliated with the Lin family are as docile as sheep and dare not have any thoughts at all.
In addition to these, the large and small cities in the Lin family's territory have now regained their former bustle, with a constant stream of cultivators and commercial forces coming and going, and a thriving situation wherever they go.
Take Nanfeng City controlled by the Lin family for example. It now has a huge amount of popularity and prosperous commerce. It is already showing signs of being unable to compete with Beifeng City controlled by the Liang family.
The reason for this is that when Nanfeng City was under the control of Yuanchen Sect, it was the largest city under its jurisdiction and the second largest city in the entire Jinfeng Kingdom's cultivation world, second only to Beifeng City.
It can be said that Nanfeng City has a good foundation, and resources are concentrated here, thus creating prosperity to varying degrees.
With the destruction of the Yuanchen Sect, the Lin family obtained most of the sect's territory.
Among these territories, Nanfeng City is also the city that the Lin family focuses on developing.
For this purpose, the Lin family dispatched many high-ranking clan members here, and many elite disciples have settled here for a long time, which can be said to be a huge investment of manpower.
In addition, the Lin family has also invested huge financial resources in Nanfeng City. The annual auction is held in full swing, and many rare treasures often appear in this annual auction.
Even at the grand auction held once every ten years, Jindan spiritual objects have appeared.
With the support of such huge manpower and material resources of the Lin family, and the Lin family's continuous improvement of the teleportation array.
Over the past few decades, the Lin family has opened up several medium-distance routes connecting the countries surrounding Jinfeng Kingdom, further increasing the popularity of Nanfeng City to varying degrees.
In this way, after decades of accumulation and the continuous improvement of the Lin family, the Lin family has now regained its former vitality and prosperity in the territory of Jinfeng State.
In fact, it has even surpassed the time when it was controlled by the Yuanchen Sect.
And these changes are just the results of decades.
Among these achievements, the spiritual land industries controlled by the Lin family themselves have become larger in scale than before, and the annual income has long since returned to its previous level and has even increased slightly.
Just take these industries as an example. Their stable output value every year can exceed millions of low-grade spirit stones.
And these are just the income from the spiritual land industry belonging to the Lin family in Jinfeng Country, and they are only one year's income.
If it were ten years, it would be more than ten million. But you know, ten years is not a long time for a cultivator.
At the very least, in the eyes of those Jindan stage cultivators, ten years is just a relatively long period of secluded cultivation.
However, in just ten years, the Lin family was able to earn tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones from the spiritual land industry in Jinfeng Country.
In addition, the Lin family also has the Luoyun Business Alliance and dozens of small and medium-sized cities and markets under its jurisdiction.
If the profits from these industries were taken into account, the Lin family could now obtain a fixed income worth tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones every year.
With such profits, a hundred years ago, the Lin family would not even dare to think about it.
But now, it has become a reality.
It is precisely because of such income that the Lin family can maintain the basic welfare of nearly 10,000 members of the family.
Lin Tianming was very satisfied with such profits.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Lin family had changed a lot in the past few decades and had developed so rapidly.
And the Lin family will not stop this kind of development.
On the contrary, in the future, they will further enhance their overall strength, open up more spiritual land industries, and further build the foundation of the Lin family.
To achieve this, Lin Tianming himself is the key.
Knowing this well, Lin Tianming knows that he has a long way to go.
It was precisely under this psychological factor that Lin Tianming spent more than half a month inspecting the territory belonging to the Lin family in Jinfeng Kingdom.
At the same time, whenever he arrived at an important city or market, he would stop to check it out and visit the tribesmen stationed there.
Just like that, after a careful inspection, Lin Tianming returned to the Qingyun Mountain clan territory with satisfaction.
Next, he wandered around the clan territory for a few days and spent some time with some of his immediate family members.
After finishing these matters, Lin Tianming felt that he had nothing to worry about anymore, and immediately went deep into the Qingyun Mountain clan territory.
And in the depths of this clan land, the Lin family had already opened up several secluded caves, which were specially used by clan members to reach the Golden Core Stage, or even the Nascent Soul Stage.
Moreover, through the improvements over the past month, the family, in accordance with Lin Shilu's request, has spent 30 million low-grade spirit stones to put into the mountain protection formation.
After these changes, the Lin family not only unlocked the full power of the entire defensive formation, but also refined such a powerful spirit stone, which at one point raised the concentration of spiritual energy in the area deep within the Lin family's territory to a higher level.
In the future, the family will continue to use the tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones in reserve to further maintain this level of spiritual energy, or even transform it to a higher level of concentration.
This huge investment will not stop until Lin Tianming takes that crucial step.
These are the changes that the Lin family made at great expense to help Lin Tianming reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Just like that, as Lin Tianming came to the depths of the clan's territory, he was the only one left in this huge area within a radius of dozens of miles.
On the edge of the deep clan territory, Lin Shilu sat cross-legged on top of a mountain, his eyes fixed in the direction of a cave.
In order to ensure that Lin Tianming would not be disturbed, Lin Shilu had already given instructions to all the clansmen.
In the next few years, this place was listed as a forbidden area of the family. Except for the Jindan stage clan members, no one was allowed to set foot here easily.
Even those in the Jindan stage who came here, no matter what their purpose, had to ask him for permission first.
Only with permission can you enter his field of vision.
Under such strict rules, it is only to ensure that Lin Tianming will not be disturbed by anyone or anything during his subsequent retreat.
And from these changes, it is enough to see how much importance Lin Shilu attaches to Lin Tianming's upcoming retreat.
Lin Tianming had already learned all of this from Lin Shilu before entering the depths of the clan's territory.
In his opinion, Lin Shilu was still too cautious.
In addition, the family has invested too many resources in order for him to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
After all, just to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the area deep within the clan’s territory, the family would have to use tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones.
And in the future, the Lin family will further increase their investment.
Of course, a large part of these spirit stones were provided by Lin Tianming himself.
In addition, the Jindan stage clansmen who have a close relationship with Lin Tianming, or who are his direct relatives, also sponsored varying amounts of spirit stones.
Among them, some people took out hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, while others took out millions of low-grade spirit stones to support the family.
For example, Qin Xi, Lin Shilu, and Lin Tianyun each contributed millions of low-grade spirit stones, which were specifically used to increase the concentration of spiritual energy deep in the clan's land.
In this way, most of the spirit stones that the family used to increase the concentration of spiritual energy deep in the clan’s land were provided by Lin Tianming and these high-level clan members.
As for how many spirit stones the Lin family will continue to provide to maintain or further increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the next few years, it will depend on the specific situation.
In short, as long as he could provide help to Lin Tianming, Lin Shilu had already planned to do it at all costs, even if it meant using up all the spirit stone reserves in the Jinfeng clan land, or even draining out the wealth of all the clan members.
As long as Lin Tianming can successfully take that step, any price the Lin family pays will be worth it.
Lin Shilu was very firm in his belief on this point. No one and nothing could change his opinion or stop his arrangements.
Lin Tianming currently does not know Lin Shilu’s true thoughts.
Even in his opinion, Lin Shilu's behavior seemed to be a bit of an overreaction.
However, what he didn't know was that any force, in order to help their disciples reach the Nascent Soul stage, would vigorously change the basic conditions of the environment for a period of time before and after their retreat.
It’s just that the forces with the conditions have mobilized enough resources.
If you really don't have the resources, you can only do your best.
