"Therefore, revising the family rules has become an urgent matter, and the sooner it is accomplished, the better!"

Upon hearing these words, the Zhou Family cultivators in the hall instantly adopted serious expressions.

In the Zhou Family, family rules are equivalent to laws, so modifying them is akin to amending legislation—its importance is clear to everyone.

Faced with such a significant matter, caution is never excessive!

Yet, just as everyone held their breath and focused, ready to hear how Zhou Chun intended to revise the family rules, they suddenly saw his tone shift as he abruptly said, "Before discussing the revisions to the family rules, this seat has also discussed with the Supreme Elder the matter of reorganizing the internal hierarchy of family cultivators. A preliminary plan has been tentatively drafted—review it to see if you agree."

As soon as these words were spoken, many Foundation Establishment cultivators’ faces subtly shifted, as if realizing something.

Meanwhile, cultivators like Zhou Daoquan and Zhou Zhengyong, those in the Purple Mansion Phase, remained calm and composed, exuding an air of stability.

Zhou Chun appeared entirely unfazed by the changes in facial expressions among the crowd seated below.

He continued speaking as if unaware, "Previously, the family’s strongest cultivator in the Purple Mansion Phase was the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde alone, which established the rule that Purple Mansion Phase cultivators held the title of Supreme Elder, while Foundation Establishment cultivators became Family Elders."

"But now the family has three Golden Core Stage cultivators, six Purple Mansion Phase cultivators, and more than twenty or thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators. The old rules are clearly no longer applicable and require reform!"

"Therefore, after deliberation with the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, we have decided to raise the standards: Supreme Elder will now require Golden Core Stage, Elder will require Purple Mansion Phase, Foundation Establishment clan members will be reclassified as Core Clan Members, and cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refinement or those with outstanding Spirit Root Aptitude and exceptional skills in certain fields may be promoted to Elite Clan Members. The rest will remain as Ordinary Clan Members."

At this moment, Zhou Chun did not bother glancing at the drastically changing expressions of the Foundation Establishment cultivators and continued resolutely, "Of course, while Foundation Establishment clan members will no longer hold Elder positions, their treatment cannot be entirely downgraded to that of previous Core Clan Members. My suggestion is to reduce it by one-quarter from the original level."

Upon hearing that the reduction was only one-quarter, the Foundation Establishment cultivators’ expressions softened slightly. Nonetheless, they still looked somewhat dejected.

After all, Zhou Chun’s proposal had brutally cut both their pride and their actual benefits.

Before this meeting, they had zealously discussed ways to generate Spirit Coins for the family—only to find that the first act of retrenchment fell squarely on them!

But in truth, those Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhou Family who possessed insight understood that this blow was inevitable! freewebnσvel.cøm

After all, no Golden Core clan allows dozens of "Elders" to exist!

However, they hadn’t anticipated that their welfare provisions would also be part of the cutback.

From Zhou Chun’s perspective, most of the current Foundation Establishment cultivators of the family had achieved their breakthroughs largely due to the family’s resources.

If not for the family providing them relatively easy access to the Foundation Establishment Pill, Foundation Establishment Fruit, and other Spiritual Objects, many of them would have never succeeded in reaching Foundation Establishment.

Even their Spirit Pets advancing to the second tier was similarly due to obtaining the necessary resources from the family through relatively effortless means.

Given that their Foundation Establishment process relied so heavily on the family’s support, it stands to reason that they should contribute by accepting a reduction in their welfare and provisions to alleviate the family’s financial pressure.

Moreover, even with the reductions, their welfare and provisions would still exceed those of Foundation Establishment cultivators in other Golden Core clans.

With the cultivation base of the Foundation Establishment Stage and leveraging the platform of the Zhou Family, as long as they exerted a bit of earnest effort, they could easily earn back the portion of welfare provisions being cut in other ways.

"This seat’s initial plan is as laid out. If anyone has any objections, feel free to voice them now."

As he spoke these words, Zhou Chun’s gaze calmly swept across the hall, taking in the expressions of everyone present before falling silent.
