After distributing the rewards, Lu Qing Xuan surveyed his clansmen, who were still immersed in excitement, and spoke.
“Starting today, the basic cultivation resources for every member of my Lu Manor will be doubled each month.”
Since he had seized all the resources of the three great families, and added to that the resources returned by the system, Lu Manor was now incredibly rich in resources.
In order to rapidly enhance the overall strength of the family, Lu Qing Xuan naturally wanted to take advantage of these resources to greatly improve the cultivation of his clansmen.
Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes, stunned for a moment.
After a while, the clansmen became excited, with some younger ones even excitedly grabbing their neighbors.
Immediately, all the clansmen bowed to Lu Qing Xuan, “Thank you, Lord!”
Their voices were loud, and when they looked at Lu Qing Xuan again, their eyes were filled with admiration and respect.
Lu Qing Xuan nodded and continued, “If you want to obtain even more cultivation resources, then work hard to make greater contributions to the family, earn family contribution points, and exchange them for the resources you want!”
Although the clansmen’s basic monthly allowance had doubled, it was still necessary to vigorously promote the contribution point system that Lu Manor already had.
This would also encourage many clansmen to make greater contributions to the family.
After encouraging everyone to contribute more to the family, Lu Qing Xuan surveyed his clansmen and said solemnly:
“Although Lu Manor can now be considered the supreme ruler of Beiyuan County, this is not the end, but the beginning.”
“I hope that all clansmen will work harder to break through their limits, unite as one, and as long as you do not give up, all of us in the Lu family will never abandon you.”
“Each one of you is the future of Lu Manor. Under my leadership, I hope that each of you will become a pillar of support for the Lu family, enabling the Lu family to go further and become stronger!”
“Remember, no matter what kind of danger you encounter outside, the family will always be your solid backing!”
These words of encouragement, like thunder, echoed in the ears of every member of the Lu family.
As Lu Qing Xuan’s words fell, all the members of the Lu family felt a surge of blood rushing through their veins, their fighting spirit increasing.
Immediately, they all bowed respectfully to Lu Qing Xuan, “We will devote ourselves to the family, not to let Lord down!”
【Ding! Host’s family cohesion has increased again, rewarding one thousand family destiny points!】
Hearing this, Lu Qing Xuan was somewhat surprised.
He had gained another thousand family destiny points.
She believed that as the family’s destiny points increased, the destiny of her clansmen would also become better.
Perhaps in the future, when the family dug for ore or when a clansman went out, they would find treasures.
Lu Qing Xuan calmed her mind, glanced at everyone who were full of fighting spirit, and slightly nodded her head.
“The core elders stay, the rest of you can go and cultivate hard!”
As Lu Qing Xuan instructed, the clansmen all left the council hall one after another, leaving only five core elders.
Lu Qing Xuan was not stingy with these elders either, she rewarded each of them with a generous amount of resources, enough for them to make a significant breakthrough in their cultivation.
The five elders looked at the many high-grade resources in their hands, all with excited expressions, their eyes shining with joy.
After being core elders for so many years, they had never received so many cultivation resources.
Now, under the leadership of Lu Qing Xuan, they were fortunate enough to receive so many cultivation resources, they felt incredibly excited.
They believed that with these resources, they would have a chance to reach the peak of the Xuan Dan Realm.
Previously, most of them hadn’t even dared to hope to break through to the Xuan Dan Realm.
But now, they were confident with a six or seven out of ten chance.
They also became more convinced that under the leadership of Lu Qing Xuan, the entire Lu Manor would not only become better and better, but also stronger and stronger, and perhaps one day they would be able to leave Beiyuan County, even the entire Lingyun Dynasty.
At this moment, they were filled with enthusiasm, and they were all looking forward to that day.
Seeing the performance of the five elders, Lu Qing Xuan’s face showed a slight smile, and then she began to assign work.
After all, the three great families had just been destroyed by her Lu family, and they still had many things to take over.
Then, Lu Qing Xuan assigned the elders to take over various industries and other matters of the three great families.
But at this time, Lu Qing Xuan discovered that five core elders were simply not enough.
Immediately, after some discussion, Lu Qing Xuan carried out a reform of the core elders.
First, she rearranged the order of the five core elders.
She promoted the second elder to the position of first elder, the fourth elder to the position of second elder, the sixth elder to the position of third elder, and so on in order.
Although her father had nine core elders when he was in power, four were direct descendants, three were collateral descendants, and two were from other branches.
But now, the five remaining elders were two direct descendants, two collateral descendants, and one from another branch.
Of course, the "other branch" here didn't refer to outsiders, they were still of the Lu family.
It was just that these clansmen were the children of Lu women and those men who had married into the Lu family.
Lu women generally didn't marry out, they brought their husbands into Lu Manor.
This could prevent Lu family members from leaving the family, and could also ensure that the Lu family continued to prosper.
After rearranging the positions of the five elders, Lu Qing Xuan asked the five elders to recommend a direct descendant, a collateral descendant, and an elder from another branch within two days.
Lu Qing Xuan intended to select two direct descendants, one collateral descendant, and one elder from another branch from these recommended elders to fill the four missing core elder positions.
Only after the core elder positions were filled could the Lu family's various resources and industries be managed effectively.
After making these reforms, Lu Qing Xuan remembered another important matter and immediately turned to Lu Qian Chuan, who had been promoted to second elder.
“Second Elder, have you found any clues regarding the investigation of the deaths of my Lu family members overseas?”
The second elder stood up and respectfully reported, “Lord, there hasn’t been much progress, but there have been some discoveries, but we can't be entirely sure.”
Lu Qing Xuan’s heart stirred, “Oh, tell me about it.”
“After investigating secretly for this period of time, we found that although there were many forces vying for that opportunity overseas, none of them saw how my clan members died.”
“And the outcome of that battle for opportunity was that the Langya Heavenly Sect emerged as the biggest winner, not a single one of their members was lost.”
“As for the other forces that went to fight for the opportunity, they all suffered some casualties, and the strength they sent was roughly similar to our Lu family’s strength.”
“If we say that a certain force could silently kill all my Lu family members, then the Langya Heavenly Sect is the most likely.”
Lu Qian Chuan revealed all the information he had obtained from his recent secret investigations.
“Langya Heavenly Sect?”
Lu Qing Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This sect was a top-tier fifth-grade sect. It not only had dozens of Xuan Dan Realm masters, but also seven or eight Soul Palace Realm masters. It was a hegemonic sect in the nearby counties of Beiyuan County.
If his elder brother and the other Lu family members were ambushed by the Langya Heavenly Sect when fighting for the opportunity, then it was indeed highly possible.
He had always suspected foul play regarding the deaths of his Lu family members overseas when fighting for an opportunity, so after taking over as the head of the manor, he had ordered people to investigate this matter.
He didn't expect the most likely suspect to be the Langya Heavenly Sect.
“Continue to follow up on this matter. Report to me immediately if you find any progress!” Lu Qing Xuan instructed.
“Lord, rest assured, we have a disciple named Lu Tian Ming who has joined the Langya Heavenly Sect. He is now an inner disciple. I have secretly instructed him to investigate the internal affairs of the Langya Heavenly Sect,” Lu Qian Chuan nodded, revealing a path to acquiring information.
Lu Qing Xuan hummed in agreement and instructed, “Be sure to protect our Lu family member, don't let the Langya Heavenly Sect discover our investigation.”
Lu Qian Chuan nodded in agreement and sat back down.
Finally, after giving some instructions, Lu Qing Xuan ended the meeting.
After the meeting, Lu Qing Xuan first buried many earth-grade spirit veins beneath Qitian Island.
These spirit veins were naturally from the three great families, and now they had become the spoils of war for Lu Manor.
Then, she deployed that heaven-grade superior protective formation around the entire Qitian Island, greatly improving its safety by several times.
Finally, Lu Qing Xuan placed the two-story Spirit Qi Tower within the family.
With this Spirit Qi Tower, the cultivation of the Lu family members would surely improve rapidly.
After completing these tasks, Lu Qing Xuan went to her mother, Jiang Xuan Ya, and gave her many resources.
After leaving her mother's palace, Lu Qing Xuan went directly to where Ling Xi Yue was.
