Lineage Assembly (Part Two)

"Does anyone have any suggestions?" Yang Haoyu looked around and continued to ask.

"I have some suggestions regarding the Attendant Hall, and I hope the Old Ancestor and the Inheritance Elders will make a decision!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man around thirty-five years old named Li Yunhao, who had once been a member of a subordinate Lineage of the Yang Household.

He used to work at the Purple Moon Pavilion in Yellowstone Market and was Yang Tianyou's subordinate for a period of time. He was shrewd and capable and extremely loyal to the Yang Household.

During the Cold Tide, Li Yunhao's entire Lineage perished in battle, leaving only him alive. The Yang Household provided him with a generous compensation payment, and with the help of these Spirit Stones, he cultivated rapidly.

Afterwards, Li Yunhao entered the inner hall of the offering hall to work. Unintentionally, he fell in love with a female cultivator of the Xuan generation from the Yang family and married into the Yang family.

More than a year ago, he successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment. Given his previous status as a member of the Attendant Hall, after consulting with the family head Yang Dangkai and the elders, Yang Tianyou appointed him as the Attendant Hall.

"Oh, it's Yuanhao. What's up? Do you have any suggestions?" Yang Haoyu asked with a friendly smile.

"Reporting to our Old Ancestors, in the past few years, thirty-one of the Inner Hall Attendant Hall have either married into or married into the Yang Household."

As a result, only sixty-nine out of the original one hundred retainers remained, which was no longer sufficient to handle the heavy workload. Therefore, the grandson wanted to recruit a new group of retainers to strengthen the Lineage's power!

"Insufficient offerings?" Yang Haoyu's expression shifted slightly.

In order to curb the expansion of the Attendant Hall' power, the Yang Household specifically imposed restrictions: the number of people in the Attendant Hall could not be increased after reaching one hundred, pending further notice from the Lineage.

Now that the Yang Household family's own clan is growing stronger, this restriction seems to be able to be relaxed somewhat.

Li Yunhao probably meant the same thing, but he didn't say it outright because of his position.

Yang Haoyu turned his head slightly, and Yang Tianyou's gaze swept over him. The grandfather and grandson exchanged glances and reached an agreement in an instant.

"In that case, you can get started on this matter. In addition to the thirty-one vacant positions, I will fill another thirty slots for you."

"However, one thing must be done: in selecting those to be honored, we must adhere to the principle of 'better to have none than to have the wrong one.'"

"Those of questionable character will not be accepted, those of unknown origin will not be accepted, and those without a special skill will not be accepted. Furthermore, they must pass the test of the Heart-Questioning Hall before they can join the Lineage's Attendant Hall, understand?"

"Grandson understands!" Li Yunhao bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

Then, several other elders offered suggestions.

First, the family head, Yang Dangkai, proposed that the construction of Purple Moon City should be put on the agenda. As Golden Core Household, how could they not have a main city?

Yang Haoyu adopted this suggestion.

The plan is to complete the basic construction of Purple Moon City within three years.

Before that, invest Spirit Stones and resources to upgrade the Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein to the Third-Tier Lower-Grade.

Secondly, Yang Qiongye, the External Affairs Hall, suggested on behalf of several Yang Lineage Elders that the Lineage Ancestral Hall needed a powerful artifact to suppress the family's Fortune. As for the type of artifact, it would be best to use Law Artifact such as seals, large tripods, or stone tablets.

This suggestion was also adopted, and as for the person to Artifact Refining, it was naturally still Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu.

The powerful artifact used to suppress the Lineage Ancestral Hall must be crafted by a member of the Lineage, and its quality must match the Lineage's status.

In this way, the only person in the entire Yang Household qualified to refine a suppressing magic Law Artifact is the Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu.

Third, Yang Dangmo, the Artifact Refining Hall, proposed to hold an Artifact Refining competition in order to increase the Lineage's reputation and recruit Artifact Refining talents.

Yang Haoyu rejected this suggestion.

With Lineage affairs so busy right now, it's not the right time to hold Artifact Refining conference. We'll have to wait at least fifteen or twenty years before considering that.

Fourth, it was the patriarch Yang Dangkai who suggested formally establishing Lineage Law Enforcement Hall to severely punish family members who violated Clan Rules and tarnished the Lineage's reputation.

This suggestion was naturally adopted.

As the Yang family grew stronger, so-called dandies began to appear.

Actually, for large Lineage, being a little spoiled is nothing unusual.

As long as you don't commit crimes or cause trouble, but instead stay at home and enjoy your retirement, contributing to the prosperity of your Lineage, you are still a good member of the clan.

However, there are always some ignorant people who, relying on their status Yang Household Member, engage in forced buying and selling, extortion, and other illegal activities, ultimately incurring the wrath of both heaven and man.

Such Yang Household Members must be severely punished.

This concerns the Lineage's traditions and foundation; no amount of attention is too much.

Therefore, Yang Haoyu made the decision to establish a new branch – the Law Enforcement Hall.

The position of head of the family will be temporarily held by the head of the household, and will be changed when a suitable candidate is found.

After the decision was made, Yang Tianyou, who was standing next to him, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and also suggested establishing Inspection Hall.

It is specifically used to audit the internal accounts of each branch of the organization, in order to prevent corruption from arising as much as possible.

Yang Haoyu naturally supported this, and the other elders also nodded in agreement. From then on, the Yang Household had two more halls— the Law Enforcement Hall and the Inspection Hall!

The Lineage Assembly continued smoothly, with elders raising questions and suggestions, some of which were approved and others rejected.

The development path of the Yang Household for the next five years, and even longer, is gradually being planned.

In business, the family mainly relies on the Gold and Silver Alliance and its cross-regional caravans to expand Lineage wealth.

On the other hand, the newly established relationship with the Spiritvoid Pavilion must be carefully maintained. Once it is confirmed that the other party is truly reliable, resources can be allocated to this area to deepen cooperation.

These are all things that Yang Tianjiu Commerce Hall, must handle himself.

In terms of people's livelihood, the area centered on Purple Moon Mountain, spanning three hundred li, is the heartland of the Yang Household.

Numerous Mortals live and thrive here; they are the foundation of the Yang Household's development, and it is never too much to value them.

For this reason, the Lineage Meeting decided to send an Immortal Master to each of the thirty-six villages. The Immortal Master's cultivation level corresponds to the grade of the Spirit Veins in the village, and they are responsible for dealing with low-level Yaomo, monsters, and supernatural events.

Each of the six major towns must be guarded by at least one Foundation Establishment and one Purple Moon Wolf. The most important Purple Moon Town, must have at least two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators.

Even with the protection of the Ten-Thousand-Mile Mountains and Rivers Formation, we cannot be careless.

These stationed monks are there to prevent unforeseen circumstances.

Of course, generally speaking, no one would be foolish enough to come to the former Yang Household's territory to cause trouble.

In the blink of an eye, the Lineage Assembly had been going on for most of the day and was coming to an end.

At this moment, Sixth Brother Yang Tiankang spoke up, "Old Ancestor, your grandson wishes to relinquish the position of Wolf Pool Master and focus on cultivation. I hope the Old Ancestor will grant my request!"

Having anticipated this, Yang Haoyu nodded without hesitation, "Then you should focus on studying Sword Dao. I hope that one day, our Yang Household will produce a Golden Core Sword Immortal!"

"Thank you Old Ancestor!" Yang Tiankang bowed and sat down.

"Now that Tiankang has abdicated, Xuanwu!"

"Your grandson is here!"

"The position of Wolf Pool Master is now in your hands. Are you confident?"

"I will certainly live up to the Lineage's expectations!" Yang Xuanwu nodded emphatically.

After resolving two minor issues, the Yang Household Lineage Assembly came to a successful conclusion!
