Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

141: Family competitionThe Clan Competition quickly began, held in the Martial Arts Hall in front of the Treasure Pavilion.

Lin Shijie served as the referee, as he, like the other two of the Lin Family’s Three Heroes, was a Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivator. If a fight broke out, ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators would be unable to save the opponent at a critical moment.

And Lin Shiming was the Family Head.

At this moment, Lin Shijie had no other important matters, so he directly began drawing lots.

The Lin Family had lost over thirty Cultivators during the beast tide, and due to Family reforms, coupled with many Cultivators achieving Breakthrough after the beast tide.

Now, there were five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, nine Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators, thirty Late Stage Cultivators, sixty Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, fifty Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, and twelve Innate Cultivators.

Compared to the last Clan Competition, even after accounting for the fallen Cultivators, there were twenty more Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, and the number of Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators and Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators was not less than the last Clan Competition. One must know that many Late Stage Cultivators had perished in this beast tide.

And this was the result of the Lin Family’s reform of the assessment system.

Among the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators, those who met the fifty-year-old age requirement to participate in the Clan Competition were Thirteenth Uncle Lin Houwei and Fifteenth Uncle Lin Houxuan. As for the other Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators, they all exceeded the age limit.

Among the Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, the most dazzling was Lin Shitao, who had broken through to Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level not long ago. She was only twenty-three years old and was also a Second-Tier Medium Grade Alchemist, almost certainly designated as a Foundation Establishment seed for the Lin Family.

Aside from her, the other Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators were much more ordinary. Six of them were from the Hou Generation, including the plump Cultivator Lin Houyuan, whom Lin Shiming had previously seen managing the Xing County Auction.

Besides Lin Shitao, there were three others from the Shi Generation: Second Brother Lin Shiyi, Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level; Ninth Brother Lin Shiyun, Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level; and Eleventh Brother Lin Shiqi, Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level.

The remaining Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators were all over fifty years old.

The Clan Competition for Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivators was also the most lively, with thirty out of sixty people able to participate in the Clan Competition.

Except for three Hou Generation Cultivators, all the others were Shi Generation Cultivators.

Forty Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivators participated in the Clan Competition.

The Clan Competition unfolded smoothly, divided into three battlefields and six arenas.

There was one arena for Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, two for Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, and three for Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivators.

The Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator arena had Lin Shijie as the Protector Elder, supervising the battles and acting as a Protector to stop fights at critical moments. The Middle Stage arenas had Lin Yuqing, the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Lin Houyong, the Head of the Demon Hunting Hall, as Protector Elders.

The remaining Elders protected the Early Stage arenas.

The drawing of lots began immediately, and the three arenas almost simultaneously started their sparring matches.

In the Late Stage arena, Lin Shiyi faced a Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level Cultivator, Lin Shiqi.

In the Middle Stage arena, Qi Refining Stage Fifth Level Lin Shizhong faced Qi Refining Stage Fourth Level Lin Shifei, and Lin Shicheng faced Lin Shiyu.

In the Early Stage arena, Lin Shiyu faced Lin Shiwei, Lin Shiqing faced Lin Shicai, and Lin Shiwen faced Lin Shiwu.

Lin Shiming hadn’t expected that two people he knew would be fighting right from the start.

Lin Shizhong was the Three Spiritual Roots Cultivator he had brought back from Qingtao Town. He had Cultivated for twelve years to reach Qi Refining Stage Fifth Level. This Cultivation speed was average, but one must know that he was also an Artifact Refiner, and had broken through to Second-Tier Middle Grade Artifact Refiner half a year ago. Although he couldn’t compare to Lin Shitao’s Alchemy talent, he was already quite impressive.

He was also very curious to see how far Lin Shizhong could go. He had previously given him a Second-Tier High Grade Magical Artifact.

There was no need to mention Lin Shiyi, his second brother, a Body Cultivator. He might even contend for the top three!

As for the Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, although they were all from the Shi Generation, because the Shi Generation was flourishing and their numbers had reached the nineties, he was not familiar with those participating this time.

And as soon as the fights began, they instantly surprised everyone. The Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator fights were much faster than the Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivator fights, and the Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivator fights were faster than the Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivator fights.

In the first Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator fight, Lin Shiyi won. The victory took less than fifteen minutes, with Lin Shiyi winning through close combat.

Lin Shizhong also defeated his opponent in fifteen minutes. As a Second-Tier Artifact Refiner, he had too many Spiritual Artifacts, almost completely suppressing his opponent throughout the fight.

Finally, the Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivators determined their victors.

The battles continued, and soon, many outstanding disciples were selected from the entire Family.

Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level Lin Shitao, with her astonishing fire control Spell, defeated a more experienced Hou Generation Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level Cultivator.

There was no need to mention Lin Houwei and Lin Houxuan; they also successfully defeated their opponents.

The Late Stage Qi Refining and Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level arenas were also the quickest to determine their winners: Lin Houwei, Lin Houxuan, Lin Shitao, Lin Shiyi, Lin Shiyun, and Lin Houyuan.

Lin Shiming was very familiar with five of them. Lin Houwei and Lin Houxuan, one Thirteenth Uncle and one Fifteenth Uncle, were both Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level Cultivators. He was extremely familiar with Lin Shiyi and Lin Shitao, and also very familiar with Lin Houyuan. The latter was the manager of the Lin Family’s Xing County Auction. Although he usually looked plump and kind with a full, fleshy face,

When he fought, he was exceptionally decisive, defeating his opponent in a few moves.

As for the last one, Lin Shiyun, he was truly a pleasant surprise.

Lin Shiyun, the ninth in the Lin Family’s Shi Generation, was half a year younger than Lin Shiming, and at Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level, his opponent was a Qi Refining Stage Eighth Level Cultivator from the Hou Generation.

He unexpectedly turned out to be a Second-Tier High Grade Formation Master, and in the Clan Competition, he instantly set up several Second-Tier Medium Grade Formations to win.

All six made the Lin Family extremely satisfied. In the Middle Stage Qi Refining arena, many excellent disciples also emerged: Lin Shizhong, Lin Shiyan, and Lin Shike. Lin Shike and Lin Shizhong were both Qi Refining Stage Fifth Level Cultivators, but one was a Talisman Master and the other an Artifact Refiner.

The remaining top six were all Qi Refining Stage Sixth Level Cultivators.

These Cultivators were all from the Shi Generation, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and had all participated in the Demon Hunting Hall, experiencing many battles and fights, thus possessing considerable combat experience.

The best Spiritual Root among them was only a Three Spiritual Roots. Reaching this stage already demonstrated the Lin Family’s thriving and promising atmosphere.

One must know that Lin Shiming had only broken through to Late Stage Qi Refining in his early twenties.

In contrast, his third sister, Lin Shiqi, at Qi Refining Stage Sixth Level, was quickly eliminated. However, in these past ten-plus years, she had also become a Second-Tier High Grade Spirit Planter, and many Spirit Herbs in the entire Fangmu Mountain Spirit Herb Garden were under her care.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but think of his fourth brother, Lin Shimo, who carried a coffin. He wondered if he had achieved Foundation Establishment by now.

If he hadn’t been so insistent back then, the Lin Family would now have plenty of Foundation Establishment Pills.

But just as he had thought at the time, the Dao was his own choice, and today’s fruit was born from yesterday’s cause.

Among the Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivators, what surprised Lin Shiming the most was that the winner was none other than Qi Refining Stage Second Level Lin Shilei.

This twelve-year-old boy, without using lightning Spells, instead wielded a lightning sword art, his speed far exceeding ordinary people, making him a rare opponent among Early Stage Qi Refining Cultivators.
