Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1192 - 509: Sacrifice is Necessary [Subscribe Please]_2

Nowadays, every year, just from detecting children with Spirit Root Aptitude among the ordinary kids, there are as many as seven or eight, sometimes even more than ten!

There is no longer any need to implement the birth subsidy system.

The modification and abolition of these rules not only grants Zhou Family cultivators the freedom to choose in certain aspects but also saves the family expenses in some areas.

It can be said that it wins people’s hearts and saves money.

Therefore, during the revision of these new family rules, the Zhou Family cultivators present, especially the younger generation, were all very supportive.

Once the rules were set, Zhou Chun then had everyone discuss the evaluation standards for Elite Clan Members.

According to Zhou Chun’s opinion, the number of Elite Clan Members should preferably not exceed one-fifth of the total Zhou Family Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, which is over a hundred people.

This number is not small, and many Zhou Family cultivators have the opportunity to compete for it.

Based on everyone’s unanimous deliberation, it was decided that the Elite Clan Members would be identified by a dual recognition system of selection and assessment.

If a clan member’s cultivation level reaches the late Qi Refinement stage, and their conduct and achievements are highly recognized by the family elders, with five core clan members or an elder willing to recommend him as an Elite Clan Member, then he can become an Elite Clan Member.

Furthermore, each core clan member and elder can only use the privilege to nominate someone as a core clan member once every three years.

The assessment system is simpler: any Zhou Family cultivator who believes he qualifies to become an Elite Clan Member can apply to the family for assessment, with the assessment divided into combat skills and technical skills; passing the assessment qualifies one as an Elite Clan Member!

Once the number of Elite Clan Members reaches the limit, other ordinary clan members can challenge the Elite Clan Members to seize the latter’s elite status.

Compared to ordinary clan members, Elite Clan Members enjoy the right to prioritize exchanging for Foundation Establishment Spirit Items, access to cultivate various precious secret techniques, more vacation time, and greater benefits overall!

It is foreseeable that the Zhou Family’s Qi Refinement Realm cultivators will scramble fiercely to compete for the status of Elite Clan Member.

After discussing these major issues, Zhou Chun announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Subsequently, the revised family regulations and rules for clan member status and hierarchy were soon officially communicated to clan members across different family locations.

Within less than a month, even Zhou Family cultivators adventuring and traveling outside, as long as they were still within Jingguo Country, became aware of these matters.

As Zhou Chun expected, these revised family regulations quickly garnered support from clan members, who praised his wisdom.

As for the matter of redefining the family’s status later, although some cultivators previously established as Elite Clan Members grumbled privately, everyone publicly supported this fair and just selection method.

However, the actual recommendations and assessments cannot be conducted yet because Zhou Mingde’s Golden Core ceremony is about to happen.

On this day at dawn, the sound of twenty-four consecutive bell tolls echoed within Tuyun Ridge.

With previous experience, Zhou Family cultivators promptly took their positions, preparing to host the guests who came to congratulate them upon hearing the bell tolls.

In the short span of ten years, hosting two Golden Core ceremonies in succession greatly delighted many low-level Loose Cultivators from areas like Lingzhou, Lanzhou, Yunzhou, and Cangzhou.

Because the reputation of the last Golden Core banquet was so infamous, there were even more Loose Cultivators attending this time to enjoy the festivity.

Fortunately, the Zhou Family had ample time to prepare, with plenty of resources set aside for the consumption of lower-level cultivators, thus not minding the cost of their eating and drinking.

Whether it was due to Zhou Mingde’s Core Formation boosting the Zhou Family’s influence further, the knowledge that lavish gifts were not required this time, or simple curiosity about this Golden Core Stage Cultivator who succeeded at the age of four hundred fifty or sixty,

There was an astonishing number of sixteen Golden Core Stage Cultivators attending Zhou Mingde’s Golden Core ceremony, several of whom came uninvited!

For this situation, both Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde were pleased and welcomed them warmly.

They did not disappoint the arriving Golden Core Stage Cultivators; although they couldn’t provide the Bluewave Heart-Cleansing Tea, they still offered Five-Colored Dragon Fish meat to treat these esteemed guests.

This Golden Core ceremony lasted several days, ultimately ending with both host and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves.

After the Golden Core ceremony concluded, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde engaged in an in-depth conversation in Zhou Chun’s cave residence.

"Having successfully attained Core Formation, old me considers this life to be complete; henceforth, my personal cultivation is not important. I plan to devote myself to refining artifacts for the rest of my life. Whether it’s leaving more Dharma Treasures for the family as a foundation or using the Golden Elixir True Fire to refine Gold Essence and Iron Essence and other Dharma Treasure materials, I can provide help for you, Zhengchun, and other future family Golden Core Cultivators."

"Additionally, when it comes to family affairs, if in the future, Zhengchun, you find yourself too preoccupied to manage them, old me can oversee and handle them on your behalf, leaving you without the need to expend energy on these matters."

"In short, even if the family cannot further support your path of cultivation, it must not become a burden that impedes your training!"

In Zhou Chun’s cave residence, Zhou Mingde solemnly gazed at him and expressed the thoughts he had long pondered over.

As the present day architect of the Zhou Family, Zhou Mingde deeply understands that for a family to grow and develop continuously, someone must sacrifice their own path.
