Establishing a Clan in the Eastern Wilderness: A Daily Divination, Cultivating Longevity in a Grotto

Li Changsheng regained his composure.

At this moment, Chen Wenyuan had already stood up, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement and enthusiasm. He stepped forward, clasped his hands, and asked for instructions:

"Chieftain, how should we select the three thousand migrating members? We would like to request your instructions!"

Li Changsheng composed himself, gestured for Chen Wenyuan to speak privately, and once inside the council hall, he began to speak:

"Brother-in-law, you should prioritize choosing members of the lineage of Li Muxian's ancestors."

One reason is that the fiefdom was obtained from one's ancestors.

Secondly, our ancestors possessed spiritual roots.

There is a higher probability that his direct descendants will possess spiritual root aptitude.

Li Changsheng continued:

"This migration, opening up new land, is fraught with hardship. We will give priority to young and able-bodied people under the age of sixty."

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Chen Wenyuan was surprised that his brother-in-law had such a clear mind and that his ideas were surprisingly consistent with those of the clan elders.

After the brother-in-law guided the Qi into his body, it was as if he had suddenly gained enlightenment.

the end.

Li Changsheng added:

Finally, my grandparents were also included in the relocation list and went together.

The original owner of this body, Li Changsheng, was a mischievous and troublesome man in his youth. It was mostly thanks to these two elderly people who swallowed their pride and repeatedly pleaded with the clan elders that he was spared severe punishment or even expulsion from the family. Having absorbed these memories, Li Changsheng was deeply grateful. Now that he was the clan leader, he had the ability to repay their kindness and naturally wanted to ensure they enjoyed their later years in peace, witnessing their grandson lead the clan to prosperity.

They are loyal and compassionate.

The admiration in Chen Wenyuan's eyes deepened, and he clasped his hands and bowed.

"Wen Yuan will certainly follow the clan chief's instructions and make proper arrangements! I will go and compile the roster and organize the manpower right away!"

...

...

Returning to the familiar courtyard, Li Changsheng dismissed the maids and servants who had come to offer their congratulations and stood quietly in the room.

"Today's divination result is clear!"

Consciousness sank into the celestial book, yellow light surged, and new characters slowly emerged:

[The hexagram representing the eastward migration]

Three days later, the Cloud Shuttle treasure ship carried the clan eastward.

Passing over the "Royal River", it will stop and rest for half a day on the riverbank to pick up another family that has been granted a title.

At that time, notice a lone, injured 'Flying Horse' cub three miles upstream from the Yulin River, deep in the reeds. Its mother had perished in the battle with the demonic beasts. This beast is naturally drawn to wind spirits and will be able to soar as it grows. It is currently vulnerable and easily tamed. It may become an aid for the family's future transportation and communication.

"A Pegasus calf?"

A glint of light flashed in Li Changsheng's eyes.

This is a wonderful surprise!

If they can be subdued, it will be of great benefit to both the individual and the family.

He silently noted down the time and place.

...

...

Two days later.

The Li family's study.

"Chief, all the relocation arrangements have been made."

Chen Wenyuan bowed and presented a thick register with both hands:

"As you instructed, members of the Li Muxian lineage were selected first, totaling 827 people, all of whom are young and strong. Other branches also selected suitable candidates proportionally, totaling 3,000 people. The roster is here."

"Brother-in-law, you've worked hard."

Li Changsheng took the document, then immediately changed the subject:

"These past two days I've been thinking that even with the imperial court's protection, we'll ultimately have to rely on ourselves in that unfamiliar place, the Eastern Wilderness. Our Li family needs someone who can shoulder the responsibility of protecting us."

Chen Wenyuan's expression turned serious:

"Although Wen Yuan's cultivation is still shallow, he will do his utmost to protect the safety of his people!"

Li Changsheng smiled and took out an antique jade box from his pocket.

The jade box was opened.

A destiny seed resembling a short halberd, emitting a faint golden-red glow, lay quietly within; it was the [Battle Destiny] bestowed by the Book of Destiny.

"This is..." Chen Wenyuan's pupils contracted slightly.

Even from a distance, he could feel the immense fighting spirit and blood energy contained within that seed of magic.

"Things left behind by our ancestors."

Li Changsheng explained without batting an eye:

"This item is called the 'Battle Fate Seed.' After being forged, it can greatly enhance combat talent and provide unique insights into combat techniques. After much thought, I believe that among the family members, you, my brother-in-law, are the most suitable."

Chen Wenyuan trembled violently, staring incredulously at the seed of magic, then at Li Changsheng, his voice trembling slightly:

"Clan chief...this is too precious! Wen Yuan is unworthy of such a gift..."

"Brother-in-law."

Li Changsheng interrupted him, his gaze intense:

"The future of our family needs a warrior, a strong person who can step forward and protect the family in times of crisis. I believe you can shoulder this responsibility."

A fighting spirit instantly rose in Chen Wenyuan's eyes.

He took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and with trembling hands accepted the jade box, solemnly saying:

"Wen Yuan... I obey!"

I will never fail the clan leader's trust in this life; I will protect the Li clan with my own flesh and blood!

The voice just fell.

In Li Changsheng's view, the loyalty score above Chen Wenyuan's head suddenly jumped—

Loyalty: 100%

At the same time, deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the Book of Destiny trembled slightly, and a new stream of information surged in:

[Family Fortune Panel Now Open]

[Current Luck Value: 5/100]

[Note: The number of clan members with special destinies, newly added spiritual plants, and cultivation techniques can all increase the clan's fortune value.]

[Note: Once your family's fortune value reaches 100, you can unlock the second page of the Heavenly Book.]

[Reminder: For families that do not reach the rank of Grade 1, the number of pages of the Heavenly Book that can be unlocked is limited.]

In addition to becoming a ninth-rank aristocratic family, there is now another way to unlock the Heavenly Book!

Li Changsheng's heart stirred slightly, but he remained expressionless on his face and reached out to help Chen Wenyuan up:

"Brother-in-law, get up quickly. You should go back and refine this item properly."

"Yes!" Chen Wenyuan nodded emphatically, carefully put away the jade box, and left.

As night fell, Tianlang Mountain resembled a crouching giant beast under the moonlight.

Li Changsheng returned to the cliffside cave alone.

The stench of blood in the cave had faded, but the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree still emitted a soft white light, though its luster was somewhat dimmer than it had been three days ago.

"Such spiritual plants are a waste to leave here. Why don't you come with me to my fiefdom?"

He carefully dug the fruit tree up by the roots and put it into a bag along with the surrounding three-foot square of sacred soil. He was extremely cautious throughout the process, afraid of damaging the root system.

The moment the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree was completely stored away, the Book of Destiny trembled once more:

[Current Family Luck Value: 7/100]

---

The next day, at Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

A huge shadow loomed over Lijiabao.

A treasure ship, over thirty feet long, was entirely crafted from an unknown silver-gray wood. Its hull was sleek, with three pairs of translucent wing panels on each side, resembling dragonfly wings. The bow was carved with intricate cloud patterns, and in the center was a large "Zhou" character emblem.

"The Cloud Shuttle Treasure Ship...it's truly magnificent." Li Changsheng looked up, his heart filled with awe.

The previous Immortal Master Zhen Shi stood on the bow deck, flanked by three other Immortal Masters, two men and one woman, all dressed in green robes. The four Immortal Masters exuded profound auras, and their mere presence caused thousands of Li family members below to feel an invisible pressure.

"Board the ship!" The immortal master's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
