Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 340 - 346: Support

"If we hand over the Spirit Fields to the clansmen, they will definitely choose to cultivate higher-yield Spiritual Objects, and some of the low-tier ones will surely be neglected," the Elder said with a grave expression.

Yet these low-tier Spiritual Objects are in great demand, and to this day, the Li family has not been able to meet its own needs, having to import them each year, thus increasing the clan's expenditures.

It must be said that being able to become an Elder really requires skill, seeing where the problem lies.

Li Chengmo pursed his lips; he indeed had overlooked this point and his consideration was still not comprehensive enough.

Li Zhirui chuckled lightly and said, "This problem is easy to solve. Require every clan member to plant a batch of low-tier Spiritual Objects, or the family could cultivate some as well."

The family couldn't possibly divide all the first-grade Spirit Fields among the clansmen, after all, there were too many clansmen and the Spirit Fields on Wanxian Island were few.

However, in Yunping State and Guangqing State, they could do this: allocate a portion of the clansmen there, thus strengthening the family's control over these lands!

As for whether they would become disloyal to the family? That was not a concern. The family would lease these Spirit Fields to the clansmen at a low price but set a time limit after which the lease could not be renewed.

As Li Zhirui continued to speak, Li Chengmo's happiness grew because his ideas were being refined bit by bit!

And from this point, others also saw that Li Zhirui agreed with Li Chengmo's ideas.

Some Elders who wanted to voice their opposition suddenly closed their mouths. If Li Zhirui agreed, what was the use of their opposition?

Besides, when it came time to divide the Spirit Fields, their own families would benefit too. Hence, the thought of opposition became even weaker.

"Since this matter was proposed by you, the division of the Spirit Fields, how much to divide, and how to do it will be left to you," Li Zhirui, although very idle now, did not wish to undertake such a troublesome task.

Moreover, if this matter was handled well, it could enhance the prestige of Li Chengmo, the Clan Leader. But for Li Zhirui, this was of no use, as his own prestige was already high enough.

Just as everyone thought that the discussion was over and prepared to stand up and leave, Li Chengmo spoke again.

"There is one more thing. The Elder of the Shadow Department just sent me a message, saying that traces of evil cultivators were found again in Myriad Thunder State, and it seems that there are quite a few of them. After the meeting is over, I will announce this so that everyone can be more cautious."

Evil cultivators? The assembly was slightly startled. Since Yin Wind Cave was annihilated and a thorough cleansing followed, no demon or evil cultivators had been seen in these lands, and now they had reappeared, and in no small numbers!

For some reason, Zhirui felt uneasy in his heart, suspecting that these evil cultivators had appeared with another agenda in mind.

Upon returning to his cave dwelling, Jiang Fengwu was present, so he asked her, "Fengwu, what's the limit of the Clan Protection Array you set up?"

"If I personally oversee the Great Array and power it with a third-grade Spirit Vein, it can withstand the attack of a dozen or so Golden Core cultivators for an hour without a problem," replied Jiang Fengwu, puzzled as to why he would ask.

"What's the matter? Did something happen?" she inquired.

Zhirui relayed the news about the evil cultivators and his suspicions to her, reminding her to be careful.

Hum—

As the two were talking, a dazzling stream of starlight enveloped all the clan members, as the Clan Protection Array was formally activated.

"This…" Jiang Fengwu was somewhat astonished. She hadn't expected the family to be so cautious as to activate the Clan Protection Array at the mere report of some news.

```

You should know that the Clan Protection Array ordinarily absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to maintain its operation, but once activated, that bit of spiritual energy is nowhere near enough. It must draw spiritual energy from other sources, such as a cultivator's mana, Spirit Stones, and the Spirit Vein.

"It looks like those evil cultivators are up to something big again, I'll go to Cheng Mo and find out more."

He had just stepped out of his cave abode when Li Chengmo's voice came through the Amplification Conch, filled with tension and gravity.

"Urgent notice, evil cultivators are ravaging Myriad Thunder State; their numbers reach into the thousands. A massive number of cultivators have died already. In the coming period, the family will activate the Clan Protection Array. Unless absolutely necessary, do not leave the clan's territory!"

Although there are no evil cultivators in Yunping State for the time being, it won't be long before people start to flee here. It's best to start preparing in advance.

However, this means that the auction the family had been preparing for so long would have to be postponed once again.

"Since when have evil cultivators become so brazen?" Jiang Fengwu also came out, saying somewhat blankly.

In her memory, evil cultivators were like rats in the sewer that everyone wanted to eliminate, unable to see the light of day; but this situation truly turned her understanding on its head.

"Perhaps, they have someone backing them up!" Li Zhirui's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he voiced his guess; otherwise, they couldn't have grown so quickly.

It's just unclear whether the evil cultivators that have suddenly appeared are disciples from the old Yin Wind Cave or from some other Demon Cultivation Sect.

"Let's go back. In the following period, the family will surely take appropriate defensive measures," Li Zhirui shook his head and pulled Jiang Fengwu back into the cave abode.

—

It's still the same mountain stream and still the same group of black-robed cultivators, only this time, there are several gray-robed cultivators beside the Great Elder.

"These are the friends sent by the Holy Temple to help us," the Great Elder simply identified their status without any intention of introducing them to each other, and the gray robes also acted very arrogantly.

"You did a good job in the past few days. I hope you continue to put forth effort and provide more flesh and blood for the Holy Temple," he said, as a Jade Box appeared in his hand and was handed over to one of the black-robed men.

"Thank you, Great Elder!" The man was extremely excited, repeatedly promising, "I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the Great Elder and the Holy Temple. I will strive to kill more cultivators and provide more flesh and blood."

"Good!" one of the gray-robed men spoke, "You are quite impressive. After the arrival of the Holy Temple, I will recommend you as a Disciple."

Struck by this tremendous surprise, the man was stunned for quite some time before he could react, profusely thanking them with a bowed body.

What he did not know was that it wasn't so much his merits, but rather that he had been bought for a hefty sum of gold for that horse bone.

Sure enough, the other black-robed men who were still sitting calmly just a moment ago, now looked on with eyes red with envy. If they could enter the Holy Temple, even just as Outer Sect Disciples, that would be wonderful!

"All right, you all may go down now. As long as you work well, the Holy Temple will definitely not disappoint you," the Great Elder waved his hand, and several black gourds appeared in front of everyone.

These were a special type of Space Artifact, capable of holding a large amount of flesh and blood while purifying impurities.

The task of these black-robed men was to fill these black gourds as much as possible. Despite their small size, these gourds could actually hold up to three hundred pounds of flesh and blood!

This was the reason for the recent surge in activity of Myriad Thunder State's evil cultivators - they were all being controlled by them.
