Choice

But as good as it is, they can also foresee that after joining this alliance, they will have an extra boss above them. Some of them are used to being local tyrants, and they still can't stand having an extra boss above them!

Moreover, judging from Lin Qing's words, he wanted everyone to join, but there was no choice at all. They had no doubt that if they refused, they and the forces behind them would be finished.

Even if Lin Qing doesn't take action, the alliance will probably target them in the future!

After Lin Qing finished speaking, the hall fell slightly silent. After a moment, Mu Chen, the head of the Mu Clan, coughed lightly and spoke first:

"Master Lin, what are the benefits of joining the Green Emperor Pavilion?"

As soon as Mu Chen finished speaking, apart from Hai Bodong, Jia Xing Tian, Yun Yun, Xue Tian, and the other five people from the major families nodded slightly. Although following such a prodigy to establish a powerful force meant unlimited potential, they still needed to clarify the terms of service.

"Regarding benefits, the Alliance will establish a special Hall to cultivate its strongest members. This will be the Alliance's most important institution in the future, providing a continuous stream of new talent. As Alliance members, you can recommend talented individuals from your clans to join. There, they will receive the most comprehensive training and development. The Cultivation Technique, Dou Technique, and Medicinal Pill available there are far beyond what your clans can provide. Their future achievements will undoubtedly exceed your initial expectations. Of course, you will also be able to obtain high-level Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique that suit your own attributes, and even Medicinal Pill that can help you break through limitations and extend your lifespan."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen, Nalan Jie, and the others' eyes lit up. After all that talk, this benefit was what truly excited them.

If anyone were to say they couldn't stand having an old man on their shoulders, they would definitely retort loudly, "What do you mean you can't stand it? They can stand it more than anyone else! They'd be happy to join the Green Emperor Pavilion!"

"Hehe, Master Lin, I wonder what we need to give up if we join the alliance? Will our families still be able to survive?" Jia Xing Tian asked hesitantly.

They're not fools; they understand that rights and obligations are relative. The greater the benefit, the more you have to give. Besides, Lin Qing isn't a fool either; he's not capable of doing good deeds.

"This force is an alliance, not an attempt to annex your forces. However, anyone who joins the alliance cannot consider themselves a family; they must regard the alliance as their own family and protect all its interests," Lin Qing said calmly. But these words were easier said than done, and they would require a great deal of effort. However, with the assistance of Cailin and others, he didn't need to worry too much. He only needed to maintain his own strength and the overall direction of the force's development.

As for establishing an elders' council, it's meaningless. In the Dou Qi Continent, only strength can determine the right to speak. Kindness and benevolence are acts of charity from the strong to the weak. It would be better to give them the positions of elders and deacons directly, and then take care of these veterans in the future.

Hearing Lin Qing's casual words, Jia Xing Tian, Nalan Jie, and the others were slightly taken aback. If they joined the alliance, their family structure would cease to exist, and they would have to treat the alliance as their family and dedicate everything to it.

However, everything is relative; you reap what you sow.

However, they still felt some difficulty, since most forces on the Dou Qi Continent existed as families, and suddenly asking them to abandon their entire family was a difficult decision for them.

"I do!" ×2

While the others were still hesitant, Xue Tian and Lin Teng were the first to speak. They had already pledged allegiance to Lin Qing, and the most outstanding woman in their family had also become Lin Qing's disciple. When it came time to choose sides, they absolutely couldn't let others beat them to it.

"The Mittel Family is willing to join!" Hai Bodong and Mittel Teng Shan also chose to join directly.

"My Misty Cloud Sect agrees to join!" Yun Yun, who came alone, also readily agreed to join.

"My Imperial Family will join too!" Jia Xing Tian also agreed to join.

Upon hearing this, the others curled their lips. The Xue Clan, the Black Rock City Lord, the Mittel Family, and the Xiao Clan were completely in cahoots. Joining the alliance would be a win-win situation. What surprised them was that the Imperial Family and the Misty Cloud Sect would also choose to join.

While everyone was still hesitating, they felt a chill on their necks, and then they realized that the infamous Queen Medusa was staring at them with icy eyes, and they sensed a sinister aura in those eyes.

Nalan Jie Mu Chen and the others swallowed hard, their faces turning slightly pale. Only now did they realize one thing: they had no choice but to join, whether they wanted to or not!

They had hesitated because they thought Lin Qing was easy to talk to, but now they realized that they had actually dared to play tricks on an Eighth-Rank Alchemist —it was like lighting a lantern in the toilet—they were courting death!

You have to understand that Lin Qing can crush them as easily as crushing an ant. The only difference is that Lin Qing is willing to talk to them properly, making him a completely enlightened leader.

"My Nalan Family joins."

"..."

However, seeing that the strongest forces had chosen to join, other people and families also agreed to join, and the benefits of joining were very good. Of course, this was not because they were afraid of Queen Medusa or afraid of death!

However, there are also forces that have not chosen to join, such as the Alchemist Guild, which has always remained neutral within the empire.

Seeing that most of the people present agreed, Lin Qing nodded. Even though he had the confidence to not eat beef in the Northwest region, he didn't want to overturn the table and force them to join directly.

Firstly, he wanted to set an example for other people and forces to join in the future. Secondly, this place was also his hometown, and the Snake-People Tribe and the Xiao Clan family would still be living here in the future, so he couldn't go too far.

He paid no attention to their ulterior motives, and he would entrust the task of governing a force to Cailin and Little Marten in the future.

He then turned his attention to Fama, who had remained silent since the start of the discussion.

"So, Guild Master Fama, would you be willing to lead the Alchemist Guild to join the Green Emperor Pavilion?"

He valued the Alchemist Guild the most. Even though the Green Emperor Pavilion had some original Alchemist, its own trained Alchemist and apprentices, and input from the Jia Nan Academy, he was unwilling to give up the Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire, because Alchemist were the most important talents, and he could never have too many talents.

Moreover, Alchemist are, in any case, the most important and rarest profession on the Dou Qi Continent! Therefore, Alchemist should not be overlooked under any circumstances.

With the addition of a large number of low- and mid-level Alchemist, as well as several Alchemists of rank five or above from the guild, along with the original Alchemist of the Green Emperor Pavilion, the Green Emperor Pavilion finally got on the right track. This way, I don't have to worry too much about going to the Central Plains.

Hearing Lin Qing's blunt words, Fama felt a bitter taste in his mouth. It was his turn again. He couldn't escape it after all. Originally, Lin Qing had chosen to integrate all the forces of the Jia Ma Empire. He had hoped that the neutral Alchemist Guild would not be asked to join. He didn't expect that this master's appetite was really so big.
