Lineage Assembly (Middle)

As soon as Yang Haoyu finished speaking, the first person to stand up was Yang Xuanwu, the deputy master of Wolf Pool.

He had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment when his Lineage appointed him as the deputy master of Wolf Pool, with the aim of honing his skills before directly promoting him to the position of master.

This was not only the intention of the Lineage's senior management, but also Yang Tiankang's personal request.

For years, he has been so engrossed in Sword Dao that he has not even bothered with the affairs of the nearby Fierce Ghost Cave, let alone Wolf Pool.

Therefore, Yang Tiankang took the initiative to apply to his Lineage to remove him from his position as the master of Wolf Pool and replace him with a more suitable Foundation Establishment clansman.

After much deliberation, Yang Haoyu finally chose Yang Xuanwu, a Yang Household Members who followed the Dao of Combat. After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, he was fully qualified to serve as the master of Wolf Pool.

For the past few months, although he was the deputy pool master, Yang Xuanwu had been doing the work of the pool master.

Because of his extremely fair dealings and his truly remarkable strength, he quickly gained the unanimous recognition of everyone in Wolf Pool.

"Old Ancestor, I believe the Lineage should emulate the Seven Absolutes Sect and the Cloudglow Sect, among other Golden Core sects, and set up a trial Formation to enhance the combat abilities of the Wolf Pool clan."

"Over the past few months, my grandson has noticed that the newly grown members of the clan, due to their overly comfortable environment, have seen their cultivation levels improve rapidly, but their combat strength is not outstanding among those of the same level."

The proportion of elite members is declining, which is a very dangerous sign.

"Therefore, I believe that only by establishing Trial Tower and issuing corresponding incentive measures to encourage the Wolf Pool clan to actively engage in magical battles can we ensure that the elite members of the Wolf Pool Lineage are passed down from generation to generation in an orderly manner!"

After saying this, Yang Xuanwu, with a serious expression, sat back down.

Inside the main hall, the other elders nodded in agreement after hearing his words.

They all came from impoverished Lineage, so they naturally know that flowers grown in a greenhouse can never amount to anything!

If one only focuses on cultivation and neglects to develop combat abilities, what one will ultimately raise is nothing more than a group of paper tigers without claws or teeth.

They may seem intimidating, but when faced with real difficulties, they are prone to backing down and becoming complacent.

Looking up at Yang Xuanwu, Yang Tianyou felt a little better about this younger generation.

The fact that he was able to spot the problem after only a few months as the deputy head of Wolf Pool shows that he is conscientious, responsible, and takes the tasks assigned to him by the Lineage very seriously.

So, while Yang Haoyu was pondering, Yang Tianyou spoke up, "Old Ancestor, I think that after the Purple Moon Boat is completed, the next major Artifact Refining task for the Lineage should be the Trial Tower!"

"With the current financial resources of my Yang Household, we can certainly afford it. Investing some Spirit Stones to increase the proportion of elite Lineage is a very worthwhile deal!"

Upon hearing Yang Tianyou's support, Yang Haoyu no longer hesitated.

He nodded and said, "Let's do it that way. The Purple Moon Boat will be completed in a few months. At that time, gather 50% of the Lineage's Artifact Refining Master and make sure to complete the Trial Tower within six months!"

After saying this, she paused for a moment, then added, "Since the core problem lies in the proportion of elite clansmen, let's just finalize the new training system for the Lineage now."

"Tianyou and I discussed this a long time ago, and decided to emulate the Three Heroes and Seven Outstanding Ones System of the Luochuan Sect to create an elite training system for our Yang Household!"

"From now on, the Lineage will establish the [Three Moons and Three Stars] system, limited to Qi Refining clan members. The Three-Month system assesses individual combat strength, while the three-star system assesses Hundred Arts of Cultivation! Selections will be held every five years, and those chosen as [Three Moons and Three Stars] will receive Foundation Establishment Pills free of charge from the Lineage!"

"Then, Old Ancestor, what if one's combat strength and Hundred Arts of Cultivation simultaneously meet the requirements of [Three Moons and Three Stars]?" Yang Xuanyang was the one who spoke, and this was exactly his situation.

He is not only very strong in combat, but also quite skilled at cooking Spirit Cuisine. Now, Yang Xuanyang's Spirit Chef level is even about to surpass Duan Hongyu's, which shows his talent in this area.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoyu chuckled, "The Lineage would love to have more talents like this. If someone can truly gain the unanimous approval of all the elders and be deemed worthy of the 'One Moon Plus One Star' title, then we will issue two rewards."

"If he doesn't want the Foundation Establishment Pill, just exchange it for Lineage contribution points. Whatever you need, just exchange it with Contribution Points!"

"In short, you must remember that for the development of the Lineage, talent must always be the top priority. As long as someone is capable, both the Inheritance Elders and I are willing to step down and give way to more capable individuals, all for the sake of the Lineage!"

With the Trial Tower matter settled, the issue of cultivating elite talents for the Lineage was also resolved.

Next, Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu waved his hand, indicating, "Any other suggestions? As long as they benefit the development of the Lineage, please feel free to speak!"

The second person to stand up was Yang Tianjiu, the Commerce Hall.

This God of Wealth of wealth from the Yang Household always had a kind smile on his face, yet it didn't feel fake at all. Instead, it made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, and without realizing it, they wanted to talk to him a little more.

"Old Ancestor, I suggest that the Lineage choose a suitable time to hold an Auction of Golden Core Core-level items."

"Auction of Golden Core Elixir level quality..."

Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou exchanged a glance, both looking hesitant.

Auction like this: either you don't start at all, or once you start, there's no turning back; otherwise, you won't build a reputation or establish a stable customer base.

However, a very real problem lies ahead: the Yang Household cannot produce that many Third Tier Spirit Items.

Normally, even the lowest-level Golden Core Auction needs to have six Tier Third Tier Spirit Items, three at the beginning and three at the end, to make it look impressive.

It is usually held every three to five years, even including items consigned here by other Golden Core Cultivators.

The Yang Household itself also needs to provide at least three Third Tier Spirit Items, and this cannot be interrupted during this period until a stable customer base is formed and there is a sufficient source of Third Tier Spirit Items before things can be easier.

However, at this moment, the Yang Household only has their Old Ancestor, a Third Tier Artifact Refining Master.

Not only are they busy forging the Purple Moon Boat, but they also have the Trial Tower mission to complete.

Then, Yang Haoyu himself also needs to cultivate.

As the Old Ancestor of the Lineage and the mainstay of combat power, how could he spend all his time Artifact Refining?

In this way, there is no stable source of Third Tier Spirit Items, and the Yin-Soul Liquid certainly cannot be sold, as it is not even enough for our own Lineage's use.

Purchasing goods outside and then bringing them back for auction is just putting on a show of wealth, and it easily fosters a culture of comparison and hypocrisy, which is of no benefit to the Lineage's development!

"Thirteenth Brother, since you've made this suggestion, you must already have a solution, right? Stop hiding it and tell me!" Yang Tianyou suddenly spoke up, looking at his Thirteenth Brother Yang Tianjiu, with a smile.

Compared to his Old Ancestors, he understood the character of this Yang Household's God of Wealth better.

I understand that the latter always acts with a purpose and never does anything without certainty.

As expected, Yang Tianjiu smiled gently and said, "Nothing can be hidden from you, Nineteenth Younger Brother. It's like this: a few months ago, I finalized a cooperation agreement with the Spiritvoid Pavilion of Huafeng Black Market."

"The cooperation involves my Yang Household providing a large quantity of first and second-tier materials to sell to the Spiritvoid Pavilion. In return, the latter will provide my Yang Household with one Third Tier Spirit Items every year."

With that, plus the Third Tier Spirit Items we obtained from the Gold and Silver Alliance and other channels, we'll have enough to Auction!

"Once the Auction been held more than three times, a stable customer base will gradually form, which will also help expand our network of contacts, greatly benefiting the Lineage's development!"

"Spiritvoid Pavilion?" Yang Haoyu exclaimed softly, "Is that the mysterious Chamber of Commerce that suddenly appeared in the Huafeng Black Market during the Cold Tide? Do you know anything about them?"

"Yes! That's the Chamber of Commerce!" Yang Tianjiu replied. "According to the Daoist Friends I discussed cooperation with, Spiritvoid Pavilion is not Chamber of Commerce from the Northern River Region, but rather comes from the Chaotic Sea!"

"Chaotic Sea?"

Inside the Discussion Hall, all the Foundation Establishment elders were startled.

"Indeed, the Chaotic Sea!"

"Later, my grandson specifically asked a close Daoist Friends to inquire about this organization. Only then did he discover that the Spiritvoid Pavilion was extremely famous in the Chaotic Sea. One could even say that they were the most powerful black marketeer in the Lu Wu Realm!"

"As everyone knows, the Chaotic Sea possesses the largest Black Market in the Lu Wu Realm, but behind this Black Market, the Spiritvoid Pavilion holds the largest Black Market!"

"The renowned [Spiritvoid Trading Grounds] was created by this Chamber of Commerce!"

"Most importantly, this Chamber of Commerce values its reputation highly. Once it reaches a cooperation agreement with our Yang Household, it will not break its promise."

Besides, to them, a few mere Third Tier Spirit Items are nothing special! Their cooperation with the Yang Household is mostly out of a desire to build goodwill, so we don't need to be overly wary!

After Yang Tianjiu finished speaking, he stood aside and remained silent, waiting for Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou to make the final decision. Even if the Yang Household did not plan to hold Auction, the cooperation they had reached earlier was still worthwhile, Third Tier Spirit Items would sell well anywhere.

The two top decision-makers of the Yang Household pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu spoke up, "You've been handling all the Lineage's business affairs all these years, and you've never suffered a loss. Since you've brought it up, you must have already thought it through. So go ahead and do it. The Lineage will always back you up."

Even if the Auction ruined, I can simply use the Old Ancestor ten years or so to refine more Third Tier Law Artifact!

Yang Haoyu waved his hand with great magnanimity, but his words warmed Yang Tianjiu's heart. He nodded and sat down.
