"Greetings, young master."
Upon seeing Lin An arrive, Li Tan and the other two hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Lin An ignored them and walked straight to the high seat, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.
The three of them felt a chill run down their spines, as they felt an immense pressure descend upon them.
At the same time, a sense of unease crept into his heart. Could it be that he or the Li Clan had done something to displease the young master, which was why he had unleashed his oppressive aura?
"You're doing quite well, aren't you? The Li Clan has fallen to such a state, why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Lin An sneered.
The three, who had been worried, paused for a moment upon hearing Lin An's words, and then were overjoyed.
Although Lin An's words were full of reproach, it was only because he cared about the Li Clan that he acted this way.
"Young master, our ancestors instructed us to follow you, and the Li Clan has also pledged allegiance to you. Even the old folks in the family are doing so voluntarily."
Li Tan stepped forward and bowed, saying, "If we inform you, young master, wouldn't that be my Li Clan using morality to coerce you?"
Lin An remained silent for a long while before waving his hand dismissively, "Take these pills back. I can't help those who have perished, but those who are still alive cannot simply perish."
Li Tan looked up and saw ten jade bottles appear before him. As the bottles were opened, each contained a hundred pills.
Upon sensing the fluctuations emanating from these pills, Li Tan was also startled.
They were all Immortal Rank pills.
He had heard of such pills, but had never seen them before. Any one of them, if it were to circulate, would be enough to cause a huge sensation in the Domain, and might even attract Immortal Realm experts to fight for it.
These precious pills were now laid out before him, and there were at least a thousand of them.
"Young master, this..."
Li Tan hesitated. He did not deny that the reason he followed Lin An was because he wanted to gain benefits from Lin An.
Even the powerful members of the Li Clan risked everything to obtain the Immortal Pearl in order to help Lin An achieve the Immortal Realm, so that he could have a powerful backer.
But he hadn't expected the benefits to be so great; it was thousands of Immortal Rank pills!
Even selling the entire Li Clan wouldn't be worth that many Immortal Rank pills.
"Keep it. Since Li Clan Li Clan is following me, if they fall from grace, it will be my loss of face," Lin An said.
"Yes, young master, your kindness to our Li Clan Li Clan will never be forgotten. In the future, if you ever need anything, our Li Clan will do everything in our power to help you."
Li Tan stopped being coy and spoke seriously.
Lin An naturally did not doubt the sincerity of the Li Clan. Among the many families in the entire Domain, there were undoubtedly some that could reach the level of the Li Clan, but at least he had only encountered the Li Clan so far.
"I won't stay in this Domain for long," Lin An continued.
The Li Clan was, after all, a large and influential family, so they naturally knew some information about the Land of Rules.
"Young master, rest assured, my Li Clan is by no means greedy. What you have given us is already something our Li Clan can never repay for generations to come," Li Tan hurriedly said.
Lin An waved his hand, "During my stay in the Domain, your Li Clan may select ten people to follow me."
Li Tan was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy.
"Thank you, young master!"
Li Tan and the other two hurriedly bowed in gratitude, knowing that Lin An was helping their Li Clan cultivate new powerhouses.
"Select candidates as soon as possible, and then have Lord Zhou Chang send them over."
Lin An stood up and said, "You should also go back and treat your family members as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
The three bowed again, and when they looked up again, Lin An had already disappeared.
"Our Li Clan really made the right bet; those old guys didn't die in vain."
Li Tan sighed.
"We should go back to our clan as soon as possible, otherwise those guys really won't be able to hold on."
"With so many Immortal Rank pills, even a bowl of soup made from them would be enough to help them recover."
"We can finalize the ten spots you mentioned, young master, now. Otherwise, we'll waste a lot of time going back and forth."
The three of them talked as they walked outside, wanting to get back to the Li Clan as soon as possible.
Lin An returned to the Central Heaven Hall, informed Qin Shao of the arrival of the Li Clan family members, and then began to cultivate.
Time flies, and another seven days have passed.
That day, Lin An also received a message from Qin Shao, saying that the Li Clan had arrived.
Soon, ten members of the Li Clan arrived at the main hall where Lin An was.
The person in charge was none other than Li Meng.
"We, the younger generation of the Li Clan, pay our respects to Young Master."
Upon seeing Lin An, all ten people bowed in greeting.
No need for formalities.
Lin An waved his hand, and an invisible force helped the ten people up, but his gaze fell on Li Meng, "Your master certainly knows how to slack off."
Li Meng is Zhou Chang's disciple, although only a nominal disciple, she is still a disciple.
But they still sent it to him now; isn't that just laziness?
Li Meng's heart tightened, fearing that Lin An would send her back to the Li Clan.
"Reporting to Young Master, my master instructed me to deliver the resources."
Li Meng hurriedly said, while offering a storage ring.
"Well, since you're here, you might as well stay."
Lin An nodded and put away the storage ring. He naturally didn't care whose disciple Li Meng was, as long as she was a member of the Li Clan.
Li Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had once considered developing a close relationship with Lin An, but now, after just over a year, she was already a junior, and those thoughts had completely vanished.
Lin An's gaze fell upon the ten members of the Li Clan.
All ten of them were at the Sovereign Realm, but their levels were not very high. The strongest, Li Meng, was only at the Sovereign Realm Fifth Grade, while the other nine were basically at the Sovereign Realm Third Grade.
"During this period, you will cultivate with me. Apart from focusing on your cultivation level, if you have any secondary cultivation methods that interest you, you may suggest them."
As Lin An spoke, he waved his hand, and twenty rules derived from auxiliary cultivation appeared in the main hall. "These are the twenty auxiliary cultivation paths I have mastered. You may choose one to learn."
Seeing so many minors, everyone was stunned. It was the first time they had ever seen someone with so many minors at the same time, and they all seemed to be at a high level.
"Young Master, have all of these auxiliary cultivators reached the Immortal Rank?"
Li Meng asked cautiously.
"Indeed, they are all Immortal Auxiliary Cultivators." Lin An nodded with a smile.
hiss...
Everyone gasped in shock at the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Not only were there so many auxiliary cultivators, but they had all reached the Immortal Rank.
What kind of extraordinary being was the person before them?
But then they became excited, after all, they were about to learn from this prodigy.
"Young master, is it alright if we don't choose a formation?" someone asked timidly.
Upon hearing this, the other members of the Li Clan all looked over, since the Li Clan mainly cultivated array formations.
In the hearts of all Li Clan, formations are the foundation of the Li Clan.
Although the Li Clan did not stipulate that everyone could not learn other minor skills, if one did not cultivate formations, there was always a feeling of going against one's ancestors.
"Of course, although the Li Clan specializes in formations, not everyone has a talent for them. Perhaps taking a different path would lead to a smoother path."
Lin An smiled and nodded, "Sometimes the choice is more important than the effort."
Upon hearing this, several people couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Their talent for formations was only so-so, but they dared not disobey their ancestors, so they forcibly practiced formations.
Although he reached the Sovereign Realm, his mastery of formations remained at the King Rank, making it difficult for him to break through.
Now that they had other options, they were immediately tempted.
"Young master, I wish to learn alchemy."
"I want to learn weapon crafting."
I want to learn to be a spiritual chef.
