Family Cultivation: I Am the Guardian Beast of the Clan

Chapter 43: Lin Xiuqi's Ambition

Once they had completely left, Lin Xiuqi turned his gaze to Lin Shanhai and asked, "Second Brother, how do you view this matter? To help or not to help?"

Lin Shanhai hesitated for a moment. He naturally understood his elder brother's intention. Whether to help or not wasn't about making a decision for the Grand Ancestor but rather delivering a message to the Hongshan Lin Family. If he believed this journey was too perilous, then it might be best not to inform the Grand Ancestor.

"Big Brother, regardless of anything, we must inform the Grand Ancestor about this matter. The Rainbow Maiden should also be of use to the Grand Ancestor. Whether to go or not, it should be Ancestor's decision," Lin Shanhai said earnestly.

Lin Xiuqi wasn't surprised. If others were present, they might have been somewhat astonished. From beginning to end, these two brothers seemed to have never considered claiming the Rainbow Maiden for themselves.

She was the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Realm with a guarantee, even reaching the Third Revolution of Golden Core directly. It also ensured the path of their future cultivation.

"I naturally understand this point. What I meant was, how do you view the Hongshan Lin Family?" Lin Xiuqi's tone was inexplicable.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Lin Shanhai's eyes. The rising momentum of the Lin Family was something that the people of the Lin Family understood the best. What was currently being displayed was just the beginning. As time passed, the outside world would discover that the Lin Family's rise would only get faster and faster.

However, anyone who didn't plan for the long term wouldn't be able to lead a family. Both he and his elder brother understood that the Lin Family's most significant weakness at the moment was its limited population. Even though they had vigorously recruited guest elders, these guest elders couldn't be compared to bloodline family members in terms of usefulness and trustworthiness!

"Big Brother, do you mean to absorb the Hongshan Lin Family?" Lin Shanhai's tone was calm, and it seemed that swallowing the Hongshan Lin Family wasn't a big deal for them.

Lin Xiuqi didn't answer directly but continued, "Before our family has truly risen, I had someone investigate the Hongshan Lin Family. Within Yunyao Prefecture, it is a Second Rank upper Foundation Establishment force. The family head, Lin Hongtu, is at the Foundation Establishment Peak, and the previous family head, Lin Ji, is in the Foundation Establishment Late stage.

"In addition, there are nine other Foundation Establishment cultivators within the family. Their overall strength is quite formidable among the Second Rank forces.

"Besides that, the Hongshan Lin Family isn't inferior to us. They've had a heritage spanning a thousand years, with thousands of family cultivators. Virtually the entire population of Hongshan County's main city is made up of ordinary bloodline family members of the Hongshan Lin Family. The number surpasses a million.

"Moreover, there are numerous cultivation forces that have been wandering outside from the main family due to various reasons, much like us. There are over a hundred Qi Condensation forces, and some of them are Second Rank Foundation Establishment forces. If you count the bloodline family members born from these external forces, the Hongshan Lin Family's foundation will exceed everyone's expectations.

"In addition, the Hongshan Lin Family excels in handling relationships, just like our Azure Heaven Mountain Lin Family. If something does happen, they can always call upon help from their bloodline members, which is something we currently lack.

"So, Second Brother, do you understand what I'm thinking?" Lin Xiuqi's voice was filled with determination.

Lin Shanhai's eyes shone with understanding. The Lin Family's growth was their top priority, and the Hongshan Lin Family offered an excellent opportunity to bolster their numbers and strength.

For the Lin family, whether someone was a cultivator or not wasn't of great importance. As long as they had potential, the Lin family could nurture them in a short time. And make them even more outstanding.

Don't forget, the Pool of Shedding Mortality on the back mountain, although Grand Ancestor had said that the quota limit had been reached and they couldn't change their fate now, both of them also realized that he was talking about the current situation.

In other words, there would definitely be opportunities in the future. But what had been bothering the two brothers all along was that even if there were quotas, their Lin family couldn't find anyone capable of changing their destiny.

Ordinary cultivators were clearly not suitable. However, the Lin family of Hongshan County seemed like the best target.

"Now is not the best opportunity. Let's wait until my Lin family has its own Golden Core. By that time, as a Third Rank power, it will be much easier to try to subdue the Lin family of Hongshan."

Lin Xiuqi looked out of the hall, his eyes filled with a distant look.

Lin Shanhai nodded. If it was true, the day the Lin family stepped into the Third Rank power category, they wouldn't need any effort. Their heritage would be comparable to the longstanding Golden Core powers.

"Let's go. Let's go see Grand Ancestor at the lake in the back mountain. It's been a few days since we paid our respects to Grand Ancestor."

Lin Xiuqi got up, and Lin Shanhai followed closely.

The two brothers arrived at the location of the back mountain lake. When they got here, they respectfully greeted Lin Xuan, who was leisurely eating barbecue and drinking spirit wine by the lakeside.

"Lin Xiuqi, Lin Shanhai, greets Grand Ancestor!"

Lin Xuan casually wagged his tail, signaling that there was no need for the two to be overly formal. Beside him, Lin Ran, the dedicated feeding master, cast a glance at her father and second uncle and then turned away, still harboring some resentment from a few days ago at the main hall.

Lin Xiuqi didn't mind and relayed the matters of the Hongshan Lin family in detail, not hiding anything, even their intentions. Lin Xuan listened and narrowed his eyes.

The three hundred years of cultivation granted by the system reward had been absorbed almost completely in these three months, and his cultivation had advanced to the Second Revolution of the Golden Core.

However, without the system's rewards, Lin Xuan could only rely on his own cultivation. While his talent allowed him to progress extremely quickly, it still felt too slow for him.

According to the system, any form of growth for the Lin family would result in cultivation rewards for him. In these three months, he had indeed received decades of Golden Core cultivation rewards in succession, but Lin Xuan was not satisfied.

Now, Lin Xiuqi had provided him with a good idea. If they were to swallow the Hongshan Lin family, the system's rewards should not be insignificant.
