Lineage Meeting and Various Plans

Five days later, with the various affairs at Crouching Ox Pass basically completed, Yang Tianyou bid farewell to Yunhua and returned to Purple Moon Mountain with his Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu.

In the Lineage Discussion Hall, the Yang Household's top leaders gathered together.

Yang Haoyu, Yang Tianyou, Yang Dangmo, Yang Tianxue Yang Qiongchuan, Yang Dangkai, Yang Qiongye.

There were seven people in total.

After a Cold Tide hit, the Yang Household rose rapidly, but in the process, dozens of family members sacrificed their lives, and several Lineage elders also passed away.

Yang Qiongqing perished while protecting Purple Moon Town, while Yang Dangxu and Yang Qiongqi tragically died while carrying out a Lineage mission.

Looking at the few empty seats, the remaining elders of the Yang Household couldn't help but feel a little downcast.

At this moment, Yang Haoyu, seated at the head of the table, spoke, drawing everyone's attention, "The deceased are gone, we who are alive should look forward. Carrying on the legacy of Dang Xu, Qiongqing, and Qiong Qi, let us carry on the Lineage's glory!"

After saying this, Yang Haoyu didn't say anything more and directly announced, "The first Lineage Meeting after the Cold Tide will now begin!"

A majestic voice echoed in the hall. The elders of the Yang Household sat up straight, the sorrow in their eyes gradually fading, replaced by a burning fighting spirit.

"The first item on the Lineage Meeting is to appoint Yang Tianyou as the Inheritance Elder, placing him above the Clan Chief and on equal footing with me! Now, let the voting begin!"

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

As expected, all the elders agreed.

Yang Tianyou's potential and contributions to the Lineage are obvious to all. This vote is just a formality to announce the establishment of the position of Inheritance Elder and make it legitimate.

From now on, the highest decision-makers in the Yang Household will be two people instead of one.

Yang Tianyou chose to accept this calmly, as he now has the ability and determination to shoulder the burden of his Lineage.

"The second item on the Lineage Meeting is the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills."

Yang Haoyu scanned the crowd, "Currently, the Lineage has nine cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and three Foundation Establishment Pills remaining. Discuss which clan members would be best suited to receive these Foundation Establishment Pills?"

After discussion, three Yang Household Members were finally identified: Yang Tianyun, Yang Tianshi, and Yang Tiankang.

Yang Tianyun, the fifth in the Tian Generation, Qi Refining the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and is First-Tier Superior-Grade Alchemist.

The reason she was chosen as the recipient of the Foundation Establishment Pill was largely due to her status as Alchemist.

With Yang Qiongqing's passing, the Yang Household now lacks a Tier 2 Alchemist, a deficiency that must be addressed.

The second candidate, Yang Tianshi, was chosen for the same reason. He was the tenth in the Tian Generation, First-Tier Superior-Grade Formation Master, and an exceptionally low-key person who spent most of his time studying Formation in his own courtyard. He was an absolute Formation fanatic.

If Yang Dangmo hadn't mentioned him, Yang Tianyou would have almost forgotten that he had a Tenth Brother.

As for Yang Tiankang, it was Yang Tianyou who personally proposed him.

The reason is simple: after the battle to annihilate the Black Sha Sect, Yang Tianyou sensed a faint Sword Intent from Yang Tiankang.

Based on his deduction, his Sixth Brother, Yang Tiankang, would definitely be able to fully comprehend the Sword Intent and become a true Sword Cultivator within one or two months to three to five years.

Sword Cultivators are known for their offensive prowess among their peers, possessing both exceptional strength and potential. Naturally, a Foundation Establishment Pill spot ended up in Yang Tiankang's pocket.

With the three spots confirmed, Yang Haoyu continued, "The third item on the Lineage Meeting: the competition for resources in Dragon Valley County!"

"Dang Kai, you are the head of the family, so please state your opinion first!"

"Nephew obeys!" Yang Dangkai stood up and said softly, "After the Cold Tide, a large number of wild Spirit Fields and spirit medicine have emerged in Dragon Valley County, as well as some low-level Demon Beasts. These resources are almost readily available."

In addition, the Spirit Veins, Spirit Fields, and various mineral veins in the Zhao Household 'Bianhe Mountains also require manpower, as do the various resources left by the Qing Household. All of these need to be guarded by our personnel.

However, the problem is that our Lineage is short-handed. More than 130 clansmen plus more than 20 Affiliated Cultivators are far from enough.

"Therefore, I believe that recruiting Rogue Cultivators is now imperative."

Recruiting Rogue Cultivators? How many are you planning to recruit?

"According to recent Lineage statistics, there are more than 130 Rogue Cultivators who intend to join my Yang Household, of which 107 have reliable backgrounds."

"My nephew thinks we can temporarily set up Attendant Hall, and in the first batch, we can recruit fifty Rogue Cultivators!" Yang Dangkai said, then looked at Yang Haoyu.

"Tianyou, what do you think?" Yang Haoyu asked Yang Tianyou.

"I think the patriarch's idea is excellent, but I believe we should remove the word 'temporary' from this Attendant Hall. Our Yang Household is growing stronger and stronger, and we are now qualified to formally establish Attendant Hall."

"Hmm... In that case, I'll leave this matter to Dang Kai. Make sure he checks it carefully to prevent any spies from other forces from infiltrating."

"Don't worry, Fourth Aunt. A batch of goods just arrived from the Gold and Silver Alliance, including a set of Heart-Questioning Grand Formation that the Lineage ordered. It will come in handy this time."

"The Heart-Questioning Grand Formation has arrived? That's good news." Yang Haoyu's Shen Yi lit up.

"Let's do it this way. Next, the fourth item on the Lineage Meeting: the expansion of the Lineage caravan." Yang Haoyu said somewhat helplessly. Needless to say, there would be another shortage of manpower this time.

Sure enough, Yang Tianxue, who was temporarily in charge of the caravan, stood up, gave a wry smile, and said, "Old Ancestor, the caravan is really short of manpower. Even if we send out all the clansmen, it will still be far from enough."

Upon hearing this, the other elders nodded helplessly. Indeed, the Yang Household currently occupies as many as thirty or forty shops.

Crouching Ox Pass, Yellowstone Market, Purple Moon Town... every shop needs someone to be there to oversee it.

However, the Yang Household Members only had so many members, and many of them perished in the Cold Tide. It was not just a drop in the ocean, but at least they were stretched thin.

"Now that things have come to this, the matter of the Attendant Hall must be put on the agenda immediately. After the meeting, Dang Kai, you go and take care of it right away, with Tianyou accompanying you to keep things under control!"

Yang Haoyu rubbed his temples, genuinely feeling that it was truly unpleasant to be alone.

"The last item on the Lineage Meeting: tracking down the Zhao Household Remnants." Yang Haoyu lowered his hands, his eyes sharpening.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, these past few days I've been using the Blood Soul Altar to track the location of the Zhao Household Remnants, and I've discovered that they are still located in a general area of Silver River County, without having moved," Yang Qiongye reported, standing up.

"Can you pinpoint their exact location?" Yang Haoyu asked.

"Yes, but that requires my grandson to enter Silver River County."

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoyu tapped the armrest lightly with his index finger, and after a moment said, "Tianyou and I are both busy lately, Dang Mo also has a mission to track down the Zhao Household Remnants. You and Qiong Chuan will handle that!"

"Remember, don't alert them. Just keep a close eye on them and maintain constant communication."
