Chapter 43: Spirit Gathering Array

Yang Shishi and Lin An were both stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with joy.

"I'm really pregnant?" Yang Shishi asked, her face full of surprise.

Lin Zhengshang stepped forward and reached out to take Yang Shishi's pulse. A look of joy spread across his face as he said, "Clan Leader, you're truly a miracle worker — one glance and you knew she was pregnant."

In his earlier years, Lin Zhengshang had picked up a bit of medical skill.

Though he wasn't an expert, he could still detect a pregnancy.

Lin An was overjoyed, holding Yang Shishi and refusing to let go.

"Shishi, you're really pregnant! That's wonderful! I'm going to be a father!"

Lin An hugged Yang Shishi and planted a kiss on her, making the latter blush all over her face.

"As I said before, anyone who becomes pregnant and continues the bloodline of my Lin Family will receive a reward."

Saying so, Lin Feng took out a bottle with a smile.

"Inside are ten Void Spirit Pills, which can strengthen the body — consider this your reward."

Lin An and Yang Shishi took the pills; they didn't recognize the Void Spirit Pills.

"Why aren't you thanking the Clan Leader? These are Five-Star Pills!" Lin Zhengshang explained from the side.

Hearing this, both Lin An and Yang Shishi turned pale with shock.

The Clan Leader's generosity was staggering — ten Five-Star Pills just like that!

"Thank you, Clan Leader!" Lin An knelt down and kowtowed several loud ones to Lin Feng.

"No need for that. From now on, you must continue the Lin Family bloodline and keep contributing." Lin Feng said calmly.

Though this lad's Spiritual Root wasn't great, it didn't matter — as long as he could produce children.

"Hehe, tonight we'll go back and make a little one!"

Lin An said with a cheeky grin, earning an eye-roll from Yang Shishi.

She just got pregnant, at least wait ten months…

Before long, the couple departed, and a hint of pleasant surprise appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.

He suddenly recalled that the Qi Luck Value points could be spent on clan members' chances of pregnancy.

In that case, he had to step things up for the young men in the clan.

"Third Elder, it's been a while since we visited those young fellows in the clan. Come, let's go take a look at their quarters."

Lin Feng laughed heartily and headed straight for the back courtyard.

Along the way, whenever Lin Feng saw a young man who had taken a wife, he would add fifty to a hundred Qi Luck Value points to him, all spent on the chance of pregnancy.

This pregnancy chance applied regardless of gender — any married couple could share it.

Therefore, Lin Feng felt no burden in adding points.

The Qi Luck Value he had accumulated was nearly spent in just one round.

There was no need to use Qi Luck Value to exchange for anything right now — for the development of the whole clan, he had to be willing to part with it.

After doing all this, Lin Feng finally went to the Back Mountain.

After giving the Foundation Establishment Grass to Lin Yan, Lin Feng went back to rest.

A day later, Lin Feng was still meditating and cultivating when he heard the system ding-ding with a notification sound.

【Ding! Detected clan member Liu Feifei has conceived a new Lin bloodline. Random reward: Three-Star Pill Gathering Spirit Pill *50, Four-Star Pill Peiyuan Pill *60, Four-Star Art Hun Tian Art】

【Ding! Detected clan member Xiao Yunyun has conceived a new Lin bloodline. Random reward: Four-Star Pill Golden Bird Pill *20, Three-Star Pill Bone-Shaking Pill *70】

【Ding! Detected clan member Zhou Yuting has conceived a new Lin bloodline. Random reward: Four-Star Pill Peiyuan Pill *100, Five-Star Pill Void Spirit Pill *60, Five-Star Martial Skill Golden Light Mantra】

Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately curled at the corners of his mouth.

After spending so much Qi Luck Value yesterday, it had indeed paid off today!

But it was a pity that only three clan members got pregnant today, even though yesterday he had added pregnancy chances to at least a dozen people.

It seemed the Qi Luck Value added yesterday wasn't enough!

But there was only so much Qi Luck Value in total, and Lin Feng didn't dare to spend it all in one go.

All in all, having three people get pregnant was already not bad.

"The rewards this time are a bit fewer in number, but there are still pleasant surprises. Only three people got pregnant today, but the pregnancy chances for the others still remain — tomorrow there might be pregnancies too, and there will be opportunities in the future."

Lin Feng knew he couldn't rush things; everything was now developing step by step.

All of this gave him a few more points of confidence in raising the family's strength.

Soon Lin Feng pushed open the door and stepped out. The sunlight outside was dazzling, and just then he saw quite a few of the clan's young men heading in one direction.

"What's happening?" Lin Feng stopped one person and asked.

"Clan Leader, today the Elder said he would select the juniors to participate in the Hundred Clans Assembly. Everyone's heading to the martial arena now!" the clan member said with a grin.

He wasn't very old, and he also had a chance to participate in this Hundred Clans Assembly.

But Lin Feng glanced at his panel, silently added pregnancy chances to him — in the future, he'd better have a few more children…

Before long, Lin Feng headed to the martial arena.

After taking the Fuchun Pill yesterday, the Elder had awakened today and could even walk freely, though he hadn't fully recovered.

"Clan Leader, you've come." Seeing Lin Feng arrive, Elder Lin Hai hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Elder, since you're injured, there's no need for such ceremony." Lin Feng quickly helped Lin Hai up.

Lin Hai had shed blood and sweat for the family and was worthy of respect.

"Sigh, I'm old, no longer useful. Yesterday I nearly died at Thatched Cottage Mountain — thankfully the Clan Leader's miraculous pills saved this old life of mine." Lin Hai said gratefully.

"What are you saying, Elder? We are one family!"

Lin Feng smiled, and his words made Lin Hai pause for a moment before he too broke into a smile.

"Yes, we are one family!"

By now the martial arena had gathered quite a number of family disciples, every one of them looking at Lin Feng with faces full of expectation.

They all already knew about the matter of the family taking part in the Hundred Clans Assembly.

But this time, only ten people would be selected.

These individuals would henceforth follow Lin Feng in cultivation — a boundless future lay ahead of them.

Lin Feng looked them over; the cultivation of this batch of family disciples was all not high. His brows knit slightly, and then he seemed to think of something.

He was seen mysteriously pulling Lin Hai aside, taking out a scroll, and saying: "Elder, this is the layout diagram for a Four-Star Spirit Gathering Formation. Follow the positions I've planned and hurry to set it up. From now on, our Lin Family will have a Spirit Gathering Formation of its own!"

Hearing these words, Lin Hai stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

He looked at Lin Feng with an expression of utter disbelief.

"Clan Leader… what did you say? A Four-Star… Spirit Gathering Formation?"

Lin Hai stammered, the qi and blood within him surging tumultuously; he nearly fainted dead away.

That was a Four-Star Spirit Gathering Formation!

Even Qingyun Sect only had a Three-Star Spirit Gathering Formation, didn't they!

Their Lin Family would actually be able to use an even higher-grade one — they were about to soar to greatness!

"Go on without worry, I'll keep watch here. Let's give the clan members a surprise," Lin Feng said with a broad smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

He too wanted to see what effect this Spirit Gathering Formation would have.

"Alright, I'll go see to it right now!"

Lin Hai took the scroll, his whole body taut, the hand gripping the scroll even trembling slightly.

With a Clan Leader like this, how could the Lin Family fail to rise?

Before long, Lin Hai had taken people off to set it up, while Lin Feng walked up to the raised platform of the martial arena, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Clan Leader, when does the selection start!" someone shouted at the top of his lungs.

"No rush — I still have a surprise for you all."

Lin Feng grinned, waiting for Lin Hai's side to finish up.
