Cultivating immortality begins with discerning the secrets of heaven.

Chapter 63 The Lin Family's Decision

Heading towards Nanling, Huangzhushan.

The Lin family had already learned of what had happened in the cultivation world of Duanyun Ridge, and the elders of the three lineages couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.

Especially Lin Yun's grandfather, Lin Jing, was filled with lingering fear when he learned that even the Xiong family's Foundation Establishment cultivator had been severely injured.

"If it weren't for Yun'er's spiritual message, I'm afraid I would have been buried at the foot of Baihe Mountain in the Liu family's home."

""

The fear on Lin Jing's face intensified, and he clenched his strong fists tightly.

If he really dies so mysteriously, Ji Mai's future days will be even more difficult.

fine...

In the patriarchal courtyard, the Lin family has gathered all the elders from the three branches to discuss the matter of Duan Yun Ridge.

"When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. The Xiong family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even if the Liu family's ancestor breaks through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he definitely won't last long."

""

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

""

The most ambitious branch of the family is the Zhong branch, and most of the elders of the Zhong branch have the intention to gain a foothold in Duan Yun Ling.

The Xiong family and the Liu family of Duan Yun Ridge are now at war. It is said that the Xiong family's ancestor, who is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, has also officially emerged from seclusion to stabilize the situation.

  

However, several elders of the Bo family opposed this view.

"No, the cultivation world of Duanyun Ridge is like a quagmire. If my Lin family gets caught up in it, it could lead to a great disaster."

Lin Jing remained silent on the matter and did not express any opinion.

Sitting in the chief seat, Lin Jinnan gently patted the table and looked at Lin Jing, asking, "Lin Jing, you once led a team to Duanyun Ridge in person. What do you think of this matter?"

Just then, all eyes turned to Lin Jing, and many elders looked at him with admiration.

Indeed, Lin Jing's decision to forcibly lead the team back to Huangzhushan some time ago, interrupting his mission, has drawn considerable criticism from the family.

At the time, several elders of the Zhongmai clan had reservations about him, believing that Lin Jing was regressing as he aged and had missed a great opportunity to make a significant contribution to the clan.

In retrospect, Lin Jing's choice was absolutely right. If he had stayed in Duanyun Ridge and joined the other cultivators in attacking the Liu family, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Lin Jing replied in an aged voice, "I only stayed in Duan Yun Ridge for a while. It was Zhongchuan who was in charge of gathering intelligence. I don't know as much about the situation as he does."

""

"However, the battle at Duanyun Ridge has just begun. It would be inappropriate to intervene too early. We might as well wait for the Xiong and Liu families to wear each other down for a while longer."

However, Lin Jingtao of Zhongmai frowned and said, "The Xiong family has extended several invitations, hoping to form an alliance to deal with the Liu family. They are very sincere."

"It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. If we could form an alliance with the Xiong family earlier to deal with the Liu family, we would be able to share more benefits."

These words sparked another round of discussion among the clan elders.

"It's not a good thing to waste too much of the family's resources."

"That's right. The family is developing rapidly these days, so there's no need for us to get involved."

The Lin family is currently riding high, secretly receiving low-priced medicinal herbs from the He family's medicinal fields, and openly exploiting the purple-veined copper mine.

Recently, Lin Hongye successfully established her foundation and became an elder of the sect. She is also expected to become an elder of the Punishment Hall, holding a high position and great power.

Since its founding, the Lin family has never experienced such a prosperous and thriving period.

As the debate raged on, many clan elders turned to look at Lin Jinnan.

The old man remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "It is inappropriate to join forces with the Xiong family to deal with the Liu family."

"The Xiong family has enormous ambitions. Once you get on their ship, it won't be so easy to get off later."

"Moreover, the situation in the cultivation world of Duan Yun Ridge is constantly changing. On the surface, the Liu family appears to be weak, but who knows what their true situation is like underneath?"

Never underestimate the strength of a Foundation Establishment family unless you know all their trump cards.

In the end, Lin Jinnan made the decision.

"Our Lin family will not get involved in this matter, but we will send more people to gather intelligence on Duanyun Ridge in case of any unforeseen circumstances."

After a decision-making meeting concerning Duanyunling, Lin Jinnan kept Lin Jing behind for a private talk.

"Brother, do you want to investigate the matter of Duan Yunling with me?" Lin Jing asked curiously.

Lin Jinnan shook his head and said, "No, even if the cultivation world in Duanyun Ridge is in chaos, nothing will happen. The current situation is unclear, and the family will not make any big moves in the short term."

"I've kept you here because I want to talk to you about your grandson who's cultivating in the sect."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing's expression changed slightly.

"But what did Yun'er do wrong?"

Lin Jinnan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, your grandson is doing very well. He's currently helping Hongye build an insect garden in the sect and raising quite a few fire spirit bees."

,

Lin Jing's expression immediately softened considerably. He now highly valued his precious grandson, regarding him as the future pillar of the Ji Clan!

"This kid is lucky, but it's all thanks to Hongye's willingness to help him out."

"By the way, Hongye actually has a method for raising fire spirit bees? That's quite rare."

At this moment, Lin Jinnan raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "No, this method of raising spirit insects was given out by your grandson Lin Yun."

"If it weren't for him, I would have sent some spirit bamboo over so that Hongye could transplant it to the sect."

Upon hearing that it was Lin Yun's method for raising spirit insects, Lin Jing's eyes showed surprise.

"Where did this kid get this inheritance from...?"

'

Lin Jinnan said calmly, "I'm also very curious about this matter. Some time ago, Ri Hongye sent back some bee eggs, wanting to see if they could be raised in the family."

"Unfortunately, only 20% of the bee eggs hatched, and the surviving fire spirit bees did not build a nest at all; they all scattered and flew away."

"It seems that without specific breeding methods, it is impossible to raise these Fire Spirit Bees in the family."

The meaning is quite clear once you've said that.

Even if Lin Jing were dull-witted, he should have understood the implied meaning.

Lin Jing wanted to try raising Fire Spirit Bees in the family as well, hoping that Lin Yun could bring out this inheritance so that the family could add another industry.

"I see. I'll write a letter to Yun'er and ask him to pass on the tradition of raising Fire Spirit Bees to the family." Lin Jing said with feigned seriousness.

But Lin Jinnan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Look at what you're saying. The Fire Spirit Bee breeding method is Lin Yun's opportunity."

"If you ask for it like this, won't you break his heart?"

'

"Tell him that the family is willing to trade with him for the method of raising the Fire Spirit Bees, and that Ji Mai will be primarily responsible for raising the Fire Spirit Bees."

"Ask him what he needs, just ask."

Lin Jing said, "In that case, I will send him a message as soon as possible."
