Chapter 435: Storm Qilin Bloodline (Combined Chapter, Requesting Everything)
"Additionally, I want to recruit a Third Rank clansman. As long as they are willing to sit in my auction house for three years, they can receive a Superior Quality Gale Leopard cub as compensation for these three years.
Clan Leader, what do you think?"
Under Lin Wan's care, the egg-hatching room hatched this Superior Quality Gale Leopard cub, which possesses an Inferior Quality Storm Qilin Bloodline, with a value of approximately two thousand Soul Crystals.
The day before yesterday, while going to deliver invitations, Li Zhangsheng went to the egg-hatching room and collected this Gale Leopard.
Being able to obtain a Superior Quality Gale Leopard just by sitting in the auction house for three years is equivalent to a salary of six or seven hundred Soul Crystals per year. The key is that Superior Quality Demon Pets are priceless and unavailable; they are almost impossible to find on the market, and only high-end auction houses occasionally have them for auction.
This is also the reason for his temptation. Don't look at him as the Li Clan Leader; his annual salary is less than five hundred Soul Crystals.
For a Clan Leader of a local power family, less than five hundred Soul Crystals is truly normal.
However, now that the family has been promoted to County Gentry, there will definitely be a period of rapid development in the future, just like Zhang Yi's father, who can earn nearly ten thousand Soul Crystals a year.
Of course, Zhang Yi's family belongs to an old-established County Gentry, and especially since Zhang Yi's father is a Fifth-tier Beastmaster, both are Clan Leaders, but his status in the family is bound to far exceed that of Li Wenbo.
Even so, as long as Li Wenbo continues to sit firmly in the position of Clan Leader, earning over a thousand Soul Crystals a year is not a problem.
It is for this reason that Li Wenbo had to dispel the idea of giving up the position of Clan Leader.
Just at this moment, the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder suddenly spoke up: "Great Clan Elder, as long as you don't mind this old man's age and frailty, why not let this old man go and sit in the auction house!"
Hearing the words of the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder, Li Wenbo was startled. The high-ranking and powerful Secret Technique Pavilion Elder would rather be hired by Li Zhangsheng to sit in the auction house than hold his current position.
However, Li Wenbo turned his head for a moment and understood the reason; the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder wants to take a step further.
Li Wenbo knows the strength of the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder very well. Among the more than ten Clan Elders of the Li Family, his strength is definitely in the top three, and he has cultivated three Elite-level Demon Pets.
As long as he cultivates one more Elite-level Demon Pet, the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder can advance to the Fourth Rank, but how easy is that to say.
A Superior Quality Demon Pet can reach the Elite level one hundred percent of the time, and there is even a significant possibility of reaching the Leader or Lord level.
Now that the opportunity has come, the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder naturally wants to grasp this opportunity, even if it means abandoning the position of Secret Technique Pavilion Elder, he will not hesitate.
Most importantly, as long as he successfully advances to the Fourth Rank and becomes the fourth Fourth-rank Demon Tamer of the Li Family, after returning to the family, he can easily secure a position no worse than that of the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder.
This is the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder's thought!
"The Clan Elder is still hale and hearty now; I am too happy to have you, how could I mind!"
Li Zhangsheng smiled. A Demon Tamer is not a martial artist; even if they are old, their strength will not decrease much. Besides, the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder is only in his early sixties, so he can truly be considered hale and hearty.
The Secret Technique Pavilion Elder smiled and said: "Great Clan Elder, then it is settled! Clan Leader, in these two days, this old man will go to handle the resignation procedures, and when the time comes, I will go to Peng City with the Great Clan Elder!"
"I respect my cousin's choice!"
Although a bit reluctant, Li Wenbo still nodded.
Just as Li Zhangsheng said, this measure can effectively improve the family's strength.
The Secret Technique Pavilion Elder is named Li Xinfu, and he is the cousin of the old Clan Leader Li Xinming.
"Clan Elder, this is your compensation!"
At this time, Li Zhangsheng shook his Demon Pet Bag and released the Gale Leopard cub.
Because it was born not long ago, the Gale Leopard cub was only about a foot long. Except for the cyan spots on its leopard skin, it looked similar to an ordinary cheetah.
Naturally, Li Zhangsheng could not wait three years to give the Gale Leopard to Li Xinfu; that would not only increase daily expenses but also consume the potential of the Gale Leopard cub.
"Great Clan Elder, then this old man will accept it without being modest!"
After Li Zhangsheng revoked the Temporary Contract Imprint, Li Xinfu couldn't wait to force out a drop of blood and press it onto the forehead of the Gale Leopard cub.
The Gale Leopard did not dodge; it just curiously opened its watery big eyes and let Li Xinfu perform the action.
At the moment of contact, Li Xinfu quickly established a mental connection with the Gale Leopard and felt the other's emotions and past.
At this time, Li Xinfu's Mental Power and blood combined, turning into a blood-colored halo that slowly rotated around the Gale Leopard cub, finally merging into its body.
A Xianxue Yinjie appeared in the Gale Leopard's mind, quickly turning from virtual to real, and finally branded into its soul.
In an instant, the Gale Leopard cub turned into a stream of light and was automatically collected into the Demon Pet Space.
"This old man also has a Superior Quality Demon Pet!"
After completing the contract, Li Xinfu appeared very excited. In the entire Li Family, excluding Li Zhangsheng and Li Haoqiong, the number of Superior Quality Fairies is not even enough to count on one hand.
Li Xinfu has lived for more than sixty years and only became the Secret Technique Pavilion Elder in recent years by relying on his seniority.
He has many descendants and juniors, and his daily expenses and family expenditures are large, which leads to his limited savings. Coupled with the fact that Superior Quality Fairies are priceless and unavailable, this is the reason why he has never had a Superior Quality Demon Pet.
"Storm Qilin Bloodline!"
When Li Xinfu saw the Bloodline column, his eyes lit up even more, and he revealed a satisfied smile.
With the potential of this Gale Leopard, as long as one is willing to spend some resources, it is not difficult to reach the Elite level within a year.
Unlike ordinary Mid-grade Demon Pets, which are very likely to be stuck in the bottleneck of the Middle Rank or Upper Rank for a lifetime.
"Then I will go and announce this benefit now!"
Two days later is the opening day of the Yuanling Academy. Time seems a bit tight, but Li Wenbo knows very well the temptation of High Quality Fairies to the clansmen, and it is highly likely that they will be snatched up.
"Then I will trouble the Clan Leader!"
"No trouble, everything for the family!"
"By the way, Clan Leader, the Cai Clan of Liyang City has suffered heavy losses in strength. If you have any ideas, while the news has not yet spread, we might be able to eat up some of the Cai Clan's industries."
Upon hearing the words "everything for the family," Li Zhangsheng suddenly stopped him and gave a suggestion.
The Cai Clan is a hegemon in Liyang City, possessing many shops, mineral veins, caravans, and other industries in Liyang City. Since the decline of the Cai Clan is inevitable, rather than letting other families take the benefits, it is better to give them to his own family.
As long as they eat up many of the Cai Clan's industries, the Li Family can even leap to gain a firm foothold among the County-level Clans.
Li Wenbo has naturally heard of the Cai Clan of Liyang City. It can be said that in these three years, the Cai Clan of Liyang City has been in the limelight.
"The Cai Clan of Liyang City?"
However, Li Wenbo still does not know the true situation of the Cai Clan.
He only knew that Li Zhangsheng killed his enemy this morning, but he did not know that it was the Cai Clan's greatest reliance, Cai Yangqian.
"Yes, the Fifth-tier Stronger they relied on is dead. Now there should only be one Fourth-rank left!"
The current Cai Clan is like a child holding gold entering a busy market; if they do not take the initiative to abandon most of their industries, there is a high probability that they will be exterminated.
After the Cai Clan advanced to County Gentry, they plundered many industries belonging to other forces in Liyang City; how could these forces not hate them? It was just that, due to their extreme fear of Cai Yangqian, they did not dare to target the Cai Clan.
Now it was different; the Fifth Rank Stronger Cai Yangqian, upon whom the Cai Clan relied, had fallen, and the Great Clan Elder had also died. It could be said that they were currently in a precarious situation, so how could these forces let this opportunity slip by?
Upon learning that the one Li Zhangsheng slaughtered this morning was the Fifth Rank Stronger Cai Yangqian, the three people present all opened their mouths wide, and due to their extreme shock, they did not close them for a long time.
"Ahem, so that's how it is!"
Li Wenbo feigned two coughs to conceal the shock in his heart, then hurriedly said to Li Xinfu and Li Runfeng with a serious face: "This matter is strictly forbidden from being spread, otherwise, Clan rules will be applied!"
"Understood!"
Li Xinfu and Li Runfeng naturally understood the importance of this news; the Li Clan must consume a batch of Cai Clan industries before other forces reacted, which would allow them to quickly gain a foothold in Liyang City from scratch and establish a branch.
By that time, the newly formed Li Clan caravan could quickly open up the situation in Liyang City and transport the specialties of the two cities.
Over time, this would form a stable trade route, continuously generating profits for the clan.
Li Wenbo paused and continued: "Additionally, since the Great Clan Elder has donated so many books this time, the clan cannot be remiss; on behalf of the clan, I grant the Great Clan Elder ten thousand contribution points!"
In this way, Li Zhangsheng had another ten thousand clan contribution points in his hands, and he prepared to wait until the clan became wealthier before slowly exchanging them for some items.
Of course, he could also use the Great Clan Elder's Authority to use contribution points as rewards and assign tasks to clan members, similar to the tasks of the External Affairs Hall.
"Uncle, I will leave this place to you. Great Clan Elder, we will now announce your donation to the clan!"
Li Zhangsheng nodded, and he and Li Wenbo left the Secret Technique Pavilion together.
Li Runfeng watched Li Zhangsheng leave with some disappointment; after the scene just now, he felt that a chasm had formed between him and Li Zhangsheng.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up to him.
Old man Li Xinfu patted Li Runfeng on the shoulder, wrapped his arm around his neck, and said: "Kid, don't be overly ambitious. What you need to do now is to solidify your foundation; perhaps there is still a possibility of catching up. After all, who can say for sure about the future!"
Li Xinfu usually valued Li Runfeng highly. Among the Li Clan Four Heroes, the one he valued most was naturally Li Zhangsheng, and the next was not Li Jingyi or Li Tianyu, but the least prominent Li Runfeng.
Whether in terms of temperament, effort, or talent, Li Runfeng was a top-tier choice, but it was a pity that his radiance had always been suppressed by Li Zhangsheng.
"Thank you for your guidance, Clan Elder. Runfeng understands!"
Li Runfeng hurriedly thanked him, his eyes becoming calm again, as if nothing had happened before.
"Hmm, then I will leave this place for you to manage. I'll give you two days to organize these books; if you finish, you will be rewarded with fifty contribution points. If you can't, you can come find me at any time!"
Gulp~
Li Runfeng looked at the mountain of books in front of him, his throat couldn't help but move, and for a moment, he felt immense pressure.
This was a full seventy thousand or so books; even if he didn't sleep or rest for two days, he might not be able to finish organizing them.
However, for the sake of fifty contribution points, he decided to give it his all.
While Li Runfeng felt very panicked, he was filled with gratitude toward Li Xinfu in his heart; he knew very well that this was an opportunity Li Xinfu had specifically given him to earn resources.
If he couldn't grasp it well, he would only have to share the profits with others.
Li Zhangsheng followed Li Wenbo to the only Training Ground of the Li Clan; they stood on the high platform, hands behind their backs, waiting quietly.
Clang, clang, clang~
The intense bell rang, one heavy and two light, symbolizing that there was an important matter to announce. Except for the Clan Elders guarding the Important Area, Li Clan members still in the Manor had to immediately put down their work and arrive at the Training Ground within a quarter of an hour.
During the wait, more and more Li Clan members gathered at the Training Ground.
They looked at the high platform in confusion, and upon seeing the figures of the Clan Leader and the Great Clan Elder, they immediately understood that there was a major event to announce.
Without hesitation, they began to inquire about the news, but except for Li Runfeng, the other Li Clan members present were all unaware, and Li Runfeng had a steady personality, so he also feigned ignorance like the others.
"It should have to do with the banquet tonight. I heard that the Principal of Yuanling Academy came here to visit us in person. That is a Pseudo-King, and even in the entire Langya Kingdom, he is a Stronger of note!"
"Hmm, I heard that too. It's the one who stayed with us for half a month a while ago. He came again this time; it seems he values the Great Clan Elder very much."
"That goes without saying. The Great Clan Elder is gifted; he became a Fourth Rank at only 17 years old. In any force, he would be cherished like a treasure, and Yuanling Academy is naturally no exception."
Soon, the quarter of an hour passed.
At this time, two or three hundred Li Clan members had gathered at the Training Ground; among them, First Rank were the majority, and there were also quite a few Second Rank and Third Rank.
"First, I am announcing one thing!"
Under the influence of Mental Power, Li Wenbo's voice resounded throughout the Training Ground, but because his control over Mental Power was not very strong, it caused the ears of some Li Clan members standing in the front to buzz.
"The Great Clan Elder is prepared to donate thirty High Quality Fairy every year. He has established a Starry Sky Auction House in Peng City. Any clan member who volunteers to go to the Starry Sky Auction House and work for one year can choose one High Quality Fairy at will. Do you see that circle? Those interested, please stand there; first come, first served!"
In an empty corner of the Training Ground, a fairly large circle was drawn, and two Clan Elders were standing there.
Following Li Wenbo's announcement, the previously quiet Training Ground instantly exploded.
These Li Clan members showed various reactions: some whispered to each other, their hearts full of hesitation; some showed disappointment, as most of these people were still studying in various academies or had not yet become a Monster Tamer, completely failing to meet the requirements; some were indifferent, as their family assets were often relatively wealthy, and they naturally wouldn't work for others for a year just for one High Quality Fairy; more ran out of the ranks impatiently, running toward that circle at the fastest speed.
Just as Li Wenbo had expected, many Li Clan members could not resist the temptation and wanted to obtain a High Quality Fairy.
These people's assets were not wealthy enough, and many had already reached the Second Rank.
