I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"despair."

The slight sound of the door being pushed open interrupted Lin Che's thoughts.

Upon receiving the message, Wang Lingsu quietly entered the reception room.

Today she wore a light yellow belted long dress that allowed for easy movement, her hair was simply styled in a bun, adorned only with a plain jade hairpin, and her eyes and brows still held her usual gentleness and competence.

Upon seeing Lin Che, a smile naturally appeared on her lips: "What brings you here, my husband?"

"Ling Su, please sit down, and allow me to tell you slowly."

Lin Che smiled and waved to her. After she sat down beside him, he personally poured her a cup of warm spiritual tea.

After Wang Lingsu sat down, Lin Che spread out the contract documents from his meeting with the three family heads, Zhou, Li, and Sun, on the table.

The three parties explained in detail their intentions, the vassal relationships they had established, and the specific terms of their cooperation.

As the "chief steward" in charge of all family affairs, Wang Lingsu needed to have a clear understanding of these changes in order to coordinate and make arrangements accordingly.

"...In that case, I'm afraid you'll have to put in a lot more effort regarding clan affairs." Lin Che finished speaking, his tone carrying a hint of apology and trust.

He knew that it was because his virtuous wife managed the clan's affairs so well that he was able to focus wholeheartedly on his cultivation.

My first impression of this girl was that she had a cheerful and generous personality.

As time went on, I became increasingly amazed by her meticulous thinking and management skills in handling complex matters.

Now that he has advanced to the Golden Core stage and established himself in Chuyang City, the Wang family, from which Wang Lingsu comes, may consider providing him with some support and opportunities.

Thinking of this, Lin Che felt a slight stirring in his heart. Back then, the Wang family married their daughter to the Lin family, which was still on the rise. In retrospect, this vision and courage of theirs was quite farsighted.

He smiled and shook his head, pulling his thoughts back, as if remembering something else:

"So, we need to give Xuanqi more responsibility." He smiled as he mentioned his son.

"Don't be fooled by his usual obsession with food and his rather plump figure; he is actually quite clever and methodical in his actions."

In my opinion, gradually introducing him to clan affairs management will definitely help you in the future.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lingsu couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying, "My husband has a good eye for people. That boy's round belly isn't just full of spiritual food; he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

"In that case, once he successfully establishes his foundation and his temperament becomes more stable, I will take him under my wing and let him learn from scratch, gradually becoming familiar with all aspects of the work."

Clearly, a mother knows her son as well as her son; she understands him very well.

The two chatted for a few more minutes about some of Lin Xuanqi's interesting daily life, and the atmosphere in the hall became warm and cozy.

After the lighthearted conversation, the topic returned to serious business.

"Aside from these three vassal states," Lin Che's expression turned serious.

"The main reason I summoned you here is to address two crucial matters: upgrading the family's formation and advancing the spiritual veins. These are the foundation for the family's survival and development, and they cannot be delayed."

Wang Lingsu's expression turned serious, and she nodded earnestly.

Having experienced the Chen family's attack on the clan's territory, she understood the importance of a powerful protective formation for the clan more deeply than anyone else.

The existing second-order formations are already vulnerable to threats at the Golden Core level, and upgrading them is indeed an urgent task.

The advancement of spiritual veins is a major event concerning Lin Che's own cultivation progress and the long-term fortune of his family.

With a Golden Core cultivator in charge, yet only supported by a second-tier spiritual vein, it's like a dragon trapped in shallow waters, inevitably affecting cultivation efficiency and the overall spiritual energy of the family.

She was prepared, and upon hearing this, she immediately took out a jade book with an ancient cover and a faint spiritual light from her storage bracelet.

This is precisely the Lin family's core account.

She gently pushed the jade book in front of Lin Che.

"As of Chenshi (7-9 AM) today, the clan treasury currently holds a total of 5.7 million low-grade spirit stones. This is a detailed record of income and expenditure; please review it, my husband."

Lin Che took the jade book and immersed his consciousness into it.

Within the jade book, light and shadow flowed, clearly listing all income and expenditure items categorized and arranged:

Income items include Baiweizhai's profits, spiritual field output, proceeds from the sale of tamed spiritual beasts, guest offerings, and mission rewards;

Expenses include the cost of raising spirit beasts, the daily maintenance of formations, the purchase of pills and talismans, and the expenditure on intelligence networks.

It even specifies the dedicated expenses for each major event or unexpected incident.

For example, the huge amount of spirit stones consumed by the clan-protecting formation during the last attack by the Chen family were all clearly recorded.

Of course, the biggest gain was the spoils of war obtained from the annihilation of the Chen family.

Lin Che quickly finished browsing and understood.

Sure enough, in this world of cultivation, the fastest way to accumulate wealth is always "murder and arson to obtain a golden belt"?

He shook his head slightly, dispelling the pointless sentiment, and placed the brocade storage bag that Zhou Wanhong had offered on the table.

"This is the Zhou family's apology: 500,000 low-grade spirit stones. Adding that to the clan's current reserves, we can use a total of 6.2 million spirit stones."

He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and pondered for a moment:

"With this financial resources, it should be more than enough to set up protective mountain formations for both the Shattered Star Lake clan territory and the newly acquired Spirit Herb Valley to deal with threats at the Golden Core level."

Wang Lingsu listened carefully, quickly calculating in her mind, and then smiled: "That's excellent. My husband is going on this journey to find an array master and handle matters related to the spiritual veins. Would you like me or Qingxue to accompany you?"

Lin Che pondered for a moment, then shook his head:

"I can go alone to handle this matter. There are no top masters in Chuyang City who can handle the third-order formation and the advancement of spiritual veins."

I plan to visit Deacon Wang Miaoxue again. She has the backing of the Fengxing Merchant Guild and extensive connections; perhaps through her, I can be introduced to a reliable array master or earth vein master.

"Very well, it shows more solemnity with my husband personally coming forward." Wang Lingsu stood up, her actions decisive.

"I will go to the clan treasury now and prepare the necessary spirit stones for my husband."

"Thank you for your trouble." Lin Che watched her departing figure with ease, his eyes full of trust and gentleness.

He withdrew his gaze and returned it to the scroll of contracts and the book of spiritual sources, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the rim of the teacup.

The various ideas in his mind about the formation, the spiritual veins, and even the overall layout of the family in the future began to slowly intertwine and take shape.
