Clan Cultivation: Starting with Building an Island Immortal City

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all thirty-seven members of the Li Family, men, women, old, and young, gathered in the somewhat simple front hall, their faces filled with doubt and unease.

His two sons, the eldest Li Qingshan and the second Li Qingchuan (35 years old), stood at the very front, followed by his grandchildren Li Changyun (16 years old), Li Changyu (14 years old), and others, and then by collateral disciples and old Family servants like Uncle Zhong.

Li Yinglong had changed into a clean black robe and sat at the head of the table. Although his face was still pale, his back was straight, and his gaze was sharp as he scanned every Family member below.

No one spoke, the atmosphere was terribly oppressive, and everyone felt the unusual solemnity emanating from the Clan Chief.

Li Yinglong silently chanted:

“System, Insight!”

Instantly, faint tags, visible only to him, appeared above each person’s head.

Li Qingshan (Eldest Son)

Status: Worried, fatigued.

Bone Structure (Mortal Grade Medium), Comprehension Ability (Mortal Grade Low).

Talent: Talent for Family Governance (Mortal Grade High): Skilled in handling internal Family affairs, effectively allocating resources, appeasing people, and maintaining stable Family operations.

Loyalty: 98 (Loyal).

Spiritual Root: None.

Li Qingchuan (Second Son)

Status: Doubtful, calculating.

Bone Structure (Mortal Grade Low), Comprehension Ability (Mortal Grade Medium).

Talent: Merchant’s Heart (Mortal Grade Medium): Sensitive to numbers, skilled in calculation and weighing pros and cons, possesses unique insight in managing Family businesses and external transactions.

Loyalty: 75 (Self-interested).

Spiritual Root: None.

Li Changyun (Eldest Grandson)

Status: Nervous, eager to try.

Bone Structure (Mortal Grade High), Comprehension Ability (Mortal Grade Medium).

Talent: Indomitable Spirit: Deeply bound to the holder’s willpower and blood Qi. When sustaining damage and facing immense pressure, it can unleash combat power far exceeding normal. The heavier the injury, the fiercer the Battle Intent, and under boiling blood Qi, reactions, strength, defense, and resistance will temporarily skyrocket, especially when driven by the belief of protecting others, the effect is even more significant.

Loyalty: 99 (Reverent and Trusting).

Spiritual Root: None.

...He looked from his sons at the very front to the servants in the back row.

Name after name, status after status flashed before his eyes.

None! Absolutely none!

Out of thirty-seven people, not a single one possessed a Spiritual Root!

Not even a secondary special Cultivation Body!

His two sons’ talents were suitable for managing the Family and starting businesses during peaceful times, but these were of no help to his current difficulties.

Li Yinglong’s heart sank.

On the first day of his Transmigration, was he to wait for his Family to be annihilated?

Wasn’t he the protagonist? Would he not even survive one episode?

He was unwilling!

“Everyone… is everyone here?”

Li Qingshan bowed and replied:

“Reporting to Father, all Family members and servants are here.”

Li Qingchuan also added:

“Even the dog in the backyard has been brought in, Father, what exactly happened?”

His tone carried a hint of subtle complaint, feeling that his father was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Li Yinglong closed his eyes, not answering him. Answering would be useless, only adding to the panic.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

A dead end? In the business world, finding life in desperation is the norm! There must be something he missed!

Just as the atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point, Old Zhou, the doorman, suddenly stumbled in, panting as he reported:

“Old… Old Master! Outside, outside, a little girl has come, all dirty, saying she… she says she is Master Yinghu’s daughter, here to recognize her relatives!”

“What?!”

Li Yinglong suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing.

Li Yinghu!

His Clan brother, who had the highest Aptitude, was as ambitious as the sky, and had left home to wander the Jianghu for over ten years without a word!

Li Yinghu was the son of the second branch, about thirty years younger than him, and his parents had died young.

Since Li Yinglong took over as Clan Chief, though they were nominally brothers, he had raised Li Yinghu himself, and their relationship was like father and son!

His previously dead heart suddenly rippled.
