Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 117 Profit Sharing_1

Outside Luoyun Market, at the foot of a barren hilltop, nearly a hundred people were watching a battle.

Lin Shilu stood at the top of the hill, with Lin Xingyuan not far from him watching. Opposite him, Sun Dingfeng watched with a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Lin Shilu instructed Lin Xingyuan with a few words before speaking out loud,

"In a duel of magic, blades and swords are blind. Should there be any injuries, no grudges shall be sought afterwards. Is Daoist Sun ready?"

"Of course. Please enlighten me, Daoist Lin!"

After Sun Dingfeng bowed with his fists, he patted his storage bag, and instantly a red and green longsword appeared in his hand, ready for attack.

Lin Shilu responded, and with a forceful wave, the red and green greatsword burst into spiritual light, sending multiple sword qi at an extremely high speed from all directions toward Lin Shilu.

Lin Shilu's expression remained as usual, as he took out a small blue shield to guard in front of him.

"The Qing Jiao Shield?"

"Wasn't it punctured and damaged by Lin Shikang with a Golden Core Talisman?"

Seeing the small shield in Lin Shilu's hands, Sun Dingfeng's expression changed. He couldn't understand how the shield he had personally seen get damaged was now appearing whole in Lin Shilu's hands again.

After several explosive sounds, five beams of sword light bombarded the Qing Jiao Shield. The powerful impact kicked up waves of air, instantly flipping over some Qi Refining Cultivators at the base of the hill. After they steadied themselves, everyone looked up at the two figures on the hilltop in shock.

Once the dust settled, Lin Shilu's figure was revealed.

He was now examining the Qing Jiao Shield in his hands and, after a short while, a satisfied expression crossed his face.

In the great battle at Green Bamboo Mountain, the sword qi transformed from the Golden Core Talisman had punctured the Second Order Superior Magic Artifact, the Qing Jiao Shield, and also ended Jin Zhiying's life directly.

Although the Qing Jiao Shield had been badly damaged, the material of the artifact itself was extraordinary, and the core and central components were not significantly harmed.

As a Second Order Artifact Refiner, Lin Shilu replenished a great amount of artifact refining materials and finally repaired the blasted artifact. Due to his limited ability, after the repair, it barely reached the standard of a Second Order Medium Quality Magic Artifact, and its defensive power no longer matched that of the Jin Family's era.

Even so, a Second Order Medium Quality Defense Artifact was still an extremely rare existence in the Luoyun Mountain Range, and it easily blocked Sun Dingfeng's attack.

Seeing Lin Shilu effortlessly catch his attack, Sun Dingfeng's face turned somewhat ugly.

Lin Shilu didn't give Sun Dingfeng much time to react. He took out his Spirit Sword artifact and, without hesitation, launched several slashes. Meanwhile, he leaped a hundred yards forward, aggressively charging at Sun Dingfeng.

"Elder Lin is indeed formidable!"

With Lin Shilu making his move, his overwhelming strength was revealed, shocking the watching clansmen once again, as several cultivators started exclaiming in awe.

The expression on Sun Dingfeng's face grew exceedingly grave; Lin Shilu's speed was incredibly fast, and his angle of attack was tricky, making it difficult to avoid the onslaught.

Sun Dingfeng patted his storage bag, took out a jade pendant, infused it with spiritual power, and instantly, a fiery red barrier formed in front of him.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

A sharp and piercing noise accompanied the arrival of the sword qi.

The fiery red barrier trembled violently.

Eventually, the sword qi and the fiery red barrier gradually dissipated, and the jade pendant returned to its original form. However, the spirituality of the pendant seemed greatly diminished, indicating it had been significantly depleted.

Behind the barrier, Sun Dingfeng's face was slightly pale, and his breath was somewhat disordered. He did not show any abnormalities and forcibly composed himself.

Before he could catch his breath, a storm of attacks from Lin Shilu followed.

After hastily dodging, Sun Dingfeng launched a series of counterattacks.

For a time, as the two combatants exchanged blows, the fight grew increasingly fierce, and of the two, Lin Shilu clearly had the upper hand.

As the intense battle unfolded at the mountaintop, the representatives of the Qi Refining clans at the foot of the mountain had very different mindsets.

Those supporting the Sun Family were incredibly anxious, while the Qi Refining Cultivators of the Lin Family were quite at ease.

Unbeknownst to them, dozens of rounds had already passed in fierce combat.

After Lin Shilu's earth-shattering strike, Sun Dingfeng was repelled dozens of feet before he managed to stabilize his figure.

With his face pale and his arms numb, Sun Dingfeng couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood and said,

"Daoist Lin's divine skills are truly extraordinary. I am willing to admit defeat and accept the loss. The profit distribution of the market shall be carried out according to Daoist Lin's plan!"

Seeing Sun Dingfeng concede, Lin Shilu ceased his attacks, put away his magic artifact into his storage bag, and said with a smile,

"Much obliged, much obliged!"

With that, Lin Shilu flew down from the mountaintop, met up with Lin Xingyuan, and left together.

Back in the meeting room of the Luoyun Market auction house, the clan cultivators regathered.

The share of profits for the Lin Family had been decided, while those of the Sun and Luo Families as well as the rest of the Qi Refining Families had yet to be determined.

In the meeting room, as dozens started to negotiate, Lin Shilu and another stood by as silent observers, watching as the group haggled, intervening now and then to secure benefits for the Lin Family's allied clans.

After half a day of negotiation, the profit distribution plan of the market was finalized.

The Lin Family obtained fifty-five percent share of the profits, while the Sun Family, which had contributed a great deal during the battle, obtained twenty percent.

The Luo Family, with little to no merits, maintained their original ten percent share.

The remaining fifteen percent was divided among eight Qi Refining Families, as several had suffered heavy losses during the battle and thus lost their qualification for the distribution.

As a result, each of the eight Qi Refining Families saw an increase in their share of profits, with the three that initially supported the Lin Family gaining the most.

The fiercely loyal Chen Clan's profits increased significantly, placing them among the leading clans within the eight major families.

At this moment, Chen Jingping's heart was overflowing with excitement, immensely grateful for his choice. As long as the Lin Family stood strong, the status of their Chen Clan would rise with the tide and become very secure.

The Luoyun Market assembly had come to an end, and thanks to Lin Shilu's efforts, the Lin Family had gained the most. In addition to securing over half of the profit shares, they also acquired the management rights of the market. By simply assigning Foundation Establishment Clan Members to guard the market long-term, they had obtained such significant authority, which was no easy feat.

Inside the Hundred Treasures Building, Lin Shilu and several others sat opposite each other, discussing the outcome of the market assembly.

"Fifteenth Uncle, our family's goal has been achieved, and there were unexpected gains. Undoubtedly, when Third Uncle and the others find out, they will be thrilled!"

Lin Shilu gave a slight smile, very satisfied with the results of the market assembly.

The rise of the Lin Family was now unstoppable. Though they had the task of guarding the market, the management rights were extraordinarily important. With such authority, the market's future development would essentially be dictated by the Lin Family. In the long run, it was only a matter of time before they would have complete control over the Luoyun Market.

Lin Shilu chuckled softly and instructed Lin Xingyuan,

"Xing Yuan, continue to hold our position in the market. The family is currently undergoing reforms, and you cannot neglect your cultivation. In a few years, when someone from the family comes to take over for you, I will return to the family tomorrow to report. The family's forces are too dispersed at the moment; you must be particularly vigilant and avoid leaving the market lightly!"

"Yes, I will diligently cultivate and safeguard the market for the family!"

Stay tuned to empire

Lin Shilu nodded in satisfaction and waved a hand to dismiss Lin Xingyuan.

After bowing with clasped hands, Lin Xingyuan left the secret chamber.
