The room was still filled with excitement.
Twenty members of the younger generation stood before Lin Hao, their eyes filled with curiosity.
None of them had ever cultivated.
None of them had ever seen a Spirit Stone.
And none of them could have imagined that their lives were about to change forever.
Lin Hao looked at them calmly.
“Before we begin, there are a few things you need to understand.”
Everyone immediately became quiet.
Lin Hao raised his hand.
A small object appeared in his palm.
It was a beautiful crystal that glowed faintly with spiritual energy.
The moment it appeared, everyone stared.
“What is that?”
Lin Chen couldn’t help asking.
Lin Hao smiled.
“This is a Spirit Stone.”
The younger generation looked at each other.
Spirit Stone.
They had heard the words before.
But to them, it had always been something mentioned in stories.
Lin Hao held it up.
“A Spirit Stone contains condensed spiritual energy.”
“Once you become a cultivator, you can absorb the spiritual energy inside it to assist your cultivation.”
Lin Xuan looked at the crystal carefully.
“So this is what cultivators use?”
“One of the things they use.”
Lin Hao nodded.
“There are five grades of Spirit Stones.”
He raised one finger.
“Low-Grade.”
A second.
“Middle-Grade.”
A third.
“High-Grade.”
A fourth.
“Top-Grade.”
Then he raised his fifth finger.
“And Supreme-Grade.”
Everyone listened carefully.
Lin Hao continued.
“The higher the grade, the denser and purer the spiritual energy contained within the Spirit Stone.”
Lin Tian’s eyes widened.
“Then a Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone must be incredibly valuable.”
The system immediately spoke inside Lin Hao’s mind.
[Host, should I explain how ridiculously wealthy you are compared to these children?]
Lin Hao ignored it.
“Yes.”
He looked at the Spirit Stone in his hand.
“However, you don’t need to worry about obtaining them for now.”
Lin Hao waved his hand.
Twenty piles suddenly appeared in the room.
The room fell silent.
Everyone stared.
Each pile contained one hundred brilliant Spirit Stones.
The spiritual energy filling the room became noticeably denser.
Lin Chen’s eyes widened.
“Ancestor…”
Lin Hao smiled.
“These are yours.”
Nobody moved.
Lin Wei wasn’t even in the room anymore, yet Lin Hao could almost imagine his expression if he saw this.
Lin Qing carefully approached one of the piles.
“Are these…
Spirit Stones?”
“Yes.”
Lin Hao nodded.
“Top-Grade Spirit Stones.”
Silence.
The twenty young members stared at him.
Lin Kai swallowed.
“Top-Grade?”
“Yes.”
Lin Hao casually nodded.
The system couldn’t resist.
[Host, perhaps you should inform them that each person has one hundred.]
Lin Hao glanced at the system screen.
“I think they can count.”
[I was simply trying to emphasize your generosity.]
“You’re trying to show off.”
[Correct.]
Lin Hao almost laughed.
He turned back to the younger generation.
“Each of you has one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones.”
The room exploded.
“One hundred?!”
“Each?”
“Ancestor, are you serious?”
“Isn’t even one supposed to be incredibly valuable?”
The three little girls were also staring at their piles.
Wan’er pointed at the Spirit Stones.
“Ancestor, are these all mine?”
“Yes.”
Her eyes immediately lit up.
“Can I sleep with them?”
Lin Hao paused.
“…No.”
Wan’er looked disappointed.
The system immediately added:
[Host, technically, there is nothing wrong with that.]
“System.”
[Yes?]
“Don’t encourage her.”
[Understood.]
A second later—
[But I still support the child’s dream.]
Lin Hao sighed.
These two were going to be troublesome.
He turned back to the others.
“Spirit Stones are only one part of cultivation.”
The excitement gradually settled.
Lin Hao raised his hand again.
A golden screen appeared.
[Clan Development Resources]
Target: Lin Clan Younger Generation
Members: 20
Resource Distribution: Beginning
The younger generation stared at the mysterious golden screen.
Lin Hao spoke.
“Every one of you will receive a complete cultivation foundation.”
Lin Chen looked confused.
“What does that mean?”
Lin Hao smiled.
“It means that none of you will have to walk the path of cultivation with an ordinary foundation.”
The system began displaying the resources.
[Spiritual Root]
Primordial-Grade
Everyone stared.
Lin Hao continued.
“A Spiritual Root determines how naturally a person can sense and absorb spiritual energy.”
“Without one, cultivation is extremely difficult.”
“With a powerful one, the path becomes much easier.”
Lin Hao paused.
“The Spiritual Root grades range from Mortal, Low-Grade, Middle-Grade, High-Grade, Earth-Grade, Heaven-Grade, Saint-Grade, Divine-Grade, Immortal-Grade…”
His eyes swept across the room.
“…to Primordial-Grade.”
Lin Hao continued.
“All of you will receive a Primordial-Grade Spiritual Root.”
Silence.
Nobody knew how to react.
The system spoke proudly.
[Naturally.
Only the best for the Lin Clan.]
Lin Hao nodded slightly.
“Next.”
Another panel appeared.
[Special Physique]
Primordial-Grade
“A physique determines the natural strength and potential of your body.”
“Some physiques increase physical strength.”
“Some enhance spiritual energy.”
“Some provide affinity with specific powers.”
“Some possess abilities that ordinary cultivators could never obtain.”
Lin Hao looked at them.
“All of you will receive a Primordial-level physique.”
Lin Zhen stared at him.
“All of us?”
“All of you.”
The system sounded delighted.
[Host has excellent taste.]
Lin Hao ignored it.
Another panel appeared.
[Bloodline]
Primordial Bloodline
“Bloodlines are inherited powers.”
“Some come from powerful ancient races or beings.”
“Some can awaken abilities that have disappeared from the world.”
Lin Hao smiled faintly.
“You will each receive a Primordial Bloodline suited to your individual path.”
The room became even quieter.
Then another panel appeared.
[Cultivation Technique]
Primordial Grade
“You will also receive a cultivation technique suited to your Spiritual Root, Physique, and Bloodline.”
Lin Jue looked fascinated.
“Ancestor, what about combat techniques?”
Lin Hao smiled.
“You’ll receive those too.”
Another panel appeared.
[Martial / Ability Technique]
Primordial Grade
“And finally, each of you will receive a cultivation treasure suited to your path.”
Everyone was speechless.
The system suddenly added:
[Host, you forgot the pills.]
Lin Hao closed his eyes briefly.
“You’re right.”
Another panel appeared.
[Cultivation Pills]
Body Tempering Pills
Foundation Strengthening Pills
Spiritual Energy Gathering Pills
Healing Pills
Impurity Removal Pills
Breakthrough Stabilization Pills
Lin Hao looked at the twenty young members.
“These are resources that will assist your cultivation.”
The system then displayed the final distribution.

The twenty young members stared at the screen.
Some didn’t even understand half of the names.
But they understood one thing.
Everything Lin Hao was giving them was far beyond anything they had ever imagined.
Lin Hao looked at the three youngest members.
“You three will also receive everything.”
Wan’er immediately raised her hand.
“Even the Spirit Stones?”
“Yes.”
“Can I have more?”
Lin Hao stared at her.
“You haven’t even used the first one.”
“But I like them.”
Lin Hao laughed.
“You’re seven.”
“So?”
He shook his head.
“Fine.
Let’s focus on cultivation first.”
Wan’er nodded seriously.
“Okay!”
Lin Hao turned toward everyone.
“Sit down.”
The twenty members immediately followed his instruction.
They sat cross-legged on the floor.
Lin Hao stood before them.
“Today, you will take your first step.”
He raised his hand.
Golden light filled the room.
One after another, the Primordial Spiritual Roots entered their bodies.
The atmosphere changed instantly.
The air trembled.
The spiritual energy around them surged.
Lin Chen’s body suddenly released a powerful aura.
Lin Xuan’s surroundings seemed to distort slightly.
A faint shadow appeared behind Lin Mo.
Thunder crackled around Lin Zhen.
Flames flickered around Lin Tian.
A faint sword cry echoed around Lin Jue.
Ice crystals appeared around Lin Qing.
The room became increasingly extraordinary.
Then—
Boom!
A wave of spiritual energy erupted from the center of the room.
The three triplets opened their eyes at almost the same time.
Lin Hao looked at them.
The System screen appeared.
[Primordial Foundations Successfully Integrated]
[All 20 Clan Members Have Received Their Resources]
[Cultivation Path Unlocked]
Lin Hao smiled.
“Now.”
He looked at the twenty young members.
“Feel the spiritual energy around you.”
“Don’t force it.”
“Guide it.”
“Let it enter your body naturally.”
Everyone closed their eyes.
The room became silent.
One second.
Two seconds.
Five seconds.
Then—
DING!
A notification appeared.
[Lin Chen has successfully sensed spiritual energy.]
Lin Hao’s eyes brightened.
Another notification.
DING!
[Lin Xuan has successfully sensed spiritual energy.]
Then another.
And another.
One after another, the younger generation began sensing spiritual energy.
Even the three seven-year-old triplets succeeded.
Lin Hao stood quietly in front of them.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
For generations, the Lin Clan had lived as ordinary mortals.
They had never possessed cultivation techniques.
They had never possessed Spirit Stones.
They had never possessed powerful bloodlines.
They had never dreamed of entering the cultivation world.
But today, everything had changed.
The Lin Clan had taken its first step.
Lin Hao looked at the twenty young cultivators before him.
“Good.”
His voice was calm.
“From today onward…”
His eyes gleamed.
“…the Lin Clan has officially stepped onto the path of cultivation.”
The System immediately spoke.
[Host, I recommend preparing yourself.]
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow.
“For what?”
[Because you just created twenty monsters.]
Lin Hao smiled.
“Good.”
He looked at the cultivating younger generation.
“Let them grow.”
