The days spent as the Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan were, for Xiao Lin, fulfilling.
To what extent were they fulfilling? To the point that even his own cultivation time had been significantly cut short. After all, as the Clan Leader, he frequently had to step forward to deal with other factions.
Some major decisions could only be authorized by Xiao Lin in his capacity as the Clan Leader.
Fortunately, not long after Xiao Lin took the position, he appointed Xiao Ze, Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Yi as Elders. With the assistance of these three Xiao Clan Elders, Xiao Lin finally managed to find a bit of free time.
During the period that followed, Xiao Lin temporarily set aside his cultivation and began running about for the development of the clan.
First, Xiao Lin reconstructed the Xiao Clan's Library Pavilion, placing all the Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques acquired over the years into the newly completed building.
The Library Pavilion was divided into three levels. The first level housed Huang Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, while the second level held Xuan Grade ones. Naturally, the third level involved the Earth Grade.
However, the secret regarding the third level of the Xiao Clan's Library Pavilion was currently known to fewer than ten people. They were the high-level executives among the high-levels of the Xiao Clan, belonging to the absolute core figures of the clan.
Of course, when these fewer than ten core high-levels of the Xiao Clan learned that the clan actually possessed Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques.
That the quantity had reached double digits—each and every one of them nearly had their jaws drop in shock. After the shock passed, it was followed by uncontrollable excitement!
As members of the Xiao Clan and core high-levels at that, they knew all too well what these Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques at or above the Earth Grade meant for the Xiao Clan. Those were treasures that could allow the Xiao Clan to stand above the Yun Lan Sect in the future!
One must know that with the Yun Lan Sect's heritage being lost in the present day, the highest they possessed were merely High-Level Xuan Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques.
But what about their Xiao Clan? They now actually possessed more than ten Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques!
How could they not be excited?
At the same time, this caused these core high-levels of the Xiao Clan to admire Xiao Lin, the new Clan Leader, with utter devotion.
As high-levels of the Xiao Clan, they were not fools; how could they not know that these Earth Grade and above Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques were all provided by Xiao Lin?
This cast a layer of mystery over Xiao Lin in the eyes of these core high-levels.
Regarding this, Xiao Lin did not offer much explanation. Subsequently, these fewer than ten absolute core high-levels of the Xiao Clan began to switch their practice to these Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques.
For the Xiao Clan to become strong as a whole, it required these core high-levels to put in enough effort alongside Xiao Lin, the man at the helm.
The Xiao Clan did not belong to Xiao Lin alone!
After switching to Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques, the strength of these core high-levels began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. For instance, the three Grand Elders—Xiao Ze, Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Yi—successively broke through to the Dou Ling realm within half a year.
The remaining few high-levels had also steadily improved their strength to high-level Da Dou Shi. It was expected that within two or three years, they should also be able to break through to Dou Ling.
As for the mid-level personnel and the younger generation who displayed extraordinary talent, the high-levels who had already begun practicing Earth Grade methods would observe them to judge whether they were qualified to access the clan's core secrets.
Once they gained that qualification, they would also be permitted to cultivate Earth Grade and above Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques. With this system in place, the Xiao Clan could be said to be developing forward in an orderly fashion.
Oh, right.
After establishing the new Library Pavilion, Xiao Lin also laid down numerous Formations in the vicinity. The existence of these Formations eliminated the possibility of outsiders sneaking into the Library Pavilion to steal Cultivation Techniques or Dou Techniques.
However, perhaps because of Xiao Lin's intervention, the development of the Xiao Clan had become somewhat too rapid.
Consequently, these high-levels were finding it difficult to handle the many internal affairs of the Xiao Clan. Ultimately, after a unanimous discussion, it was decided to expand the number of high-level personnel in the Xiao Clan.
Firstly, excluding Xiao Lin, the energy of the three Grand Elders alone was no longer enough to support the management of the current Xiao Clan, which was developing like a runaway horse. Therefore, adding new Elder seats was almost inevitable.
But to ensure the authority of the three Grand Elders below Xiao Lin, the Clan Leader, Xiao Lin finally decided to add some Ordinary Elder positions.
For example, a Pavilion Guarding Elder was established for the Library Pavilion, and a Medicinal Pill Hall Elder was established for the medicinal pill sector, and so on. In short, Xiao Lin appointed an Elder for each different Hall to manage these areas uniformly.
The authority of these Ordinary Elders would be slightly lower than that of the three Grand Elders, but they did not report to the three Grand Elders; instead, they were personally managed by Xiao Lin as the Clan Leader.
In this way, Xiao Lin only needed to manage these high-level Elders to effectively control the entire Xiao Clan. At the same time, this allowed Xiao Lin to become much freer. He could finally be considered to have a bit of time belonging to himself.
Oh, right, something should be mentioned here.
A few years ago, the Xiao Clan spent a lot of resources to send clansmen into the Alchemist Association as apprentices, and now they finally had a harvest. After being apprentices in the Alchemist Association for so many years, they had finally completed their studies and returned.
By the time Xiao Lin had been the Xiao Clan Leader for two years, the Xiao Clan now possessed eight Tier 1 Alchemists, three Tier 2 Alchemists, and one Tier 3 Alchemist!
This Tier 3 Alchemist was a woman named Xiao Li.
When Xiao Li displayed her talent in the field of alchemy, Xiao Lin went against all objections to appoint her, at just over twenty years old, as the Elder of the Xiao Clan's Medicinal Pill Hall.
By this point, the younger generation of the Xiao Clan had basically achieved self-sufficiency in terms of medicinal pills. Of course, if they wanted higher-level medicinal pills, the Xiao Clan still needed to go to the Alchemist Association to purchase them.
But Xiao Lin was not in a hurry now. He believed that after a few more years, once the grades of these Xiao Clan Alchemists improved, the high-level medicinal pills for the Xiao Clan's top brass could also achieve independence!
Despite having only been the Clan Leader for two years, every member of the Xiao Clan had noticed it. Their Xiao Clan seemed to have become different!
This could be seen from the way members of the Xiao Clan were treated with courtesy by various parties when they went out. However, the rapid development of the Xiao Clan would always cause some profligate scoundrels to breed within.
To address this, after Xiao Lin handled these clan degenerates with thunderous methods, the remaining clansmen never dared to harbor such thoughts of committing evil again.
In Xiao Lin's words: you can be a loafer, and the Xiao Clan will not lack a bite of food for you. But if you ruin the Xiao Clan's reputation outside, then sorry, your legs will be broken!
It was precisely this attitude of Xiao Lin's that made the various factions within the Jia Ma Empire look at the Xiao Clan in a new light.
