Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Restructuring the Family’s Internal Framework, Investing in the Eighth Elder Lu Yunxiao!

When Lu Qingxuan returned to the King’s Mansion with Lu Tianming, the Lu family disciples were extremely curious about the outcome of their lord’s trip to Langya Heavenly Sect.

Soon after Lu Qingxuan and Lu Tianming parted ways, a crowd of disciples surrounded Lu Tianming, eagerly inquiring about the details.

Seeing this, Lu Tianming didn’t hold anything back and proudly declared, “Langya Heavenly Sect has been annihilated by the lord. The sect leader and all its elders were slain by him. As of now, Langya Heavenly Sect has been completely erased from the Lingyun Dynasty!”

As soon as Lu Tianming’s words fell, the crowd gasped, their faces filled with shock.

“The lord single-handedly destroyed Langya Heavenly Sect!”

“The lord is mighty!”

“Truly worthy of being the goal we all strive to catch up to!”

The Lu family disciples were deeply moved and incredibly excited.

After all, Langya Heavenly Sect was a top-tier fifth-rank force, a dominant sect across several nearby counties. Yet it had been wiped out single-handedly by their lord—how could they not be astounded?

At this moment, the respect and awe these Lu family disciples felt for their lord deepened even further.

Seeing the clan members still reeling in shock, Lu Tianming began recounting more detailed battle highlights, describing them vividly and with flair.

The listeners couldn’t help but feel as if they were there, their blood boiling with excitement.

This sparked yet another wave of astonishment, followed by fervent discussions among them.

Meanwhile, upon returning to the King’s Mansion, Lu Qingxuan immediately summoned the nine core elders to the council hall.

Lu Qingxuan first informed them of the news that he had annihilated Langya Heavenly Sect. Upon hearing this, the nine core elders were all struck with a wave of shock. They hadn’t expected their lord to have grown so powerful, and their hearts swelled with pride and a sense of shared honor.

Sweeping his gaze over the stunned elders, Lu Qingxuan proceeded with a series of arrangements. Now that Langya Heavenly Sect had been eradicated by him, its numerous industries naturally needed to be fully taken over by the Lu Royal Mansion.

As the dominant sect of several nearby counties, the sheer number of industries under its name was staggering. These industries now required the Lu Royal Mansion to dispatch personnel to take them over one by one and bring them under their control.

It took a full half-hour for Lu Qingxuan to complete this series of arrangements. Afterward, to accommodate the Lu Royal Mansion’s rapidly growing family, Lu Qingxuan, together with the nine core elders, further refined the family’s old system.

At the same time, they discussed and established some new rules and regulations. For instance, to ignite the clan members’ drive and foster healthy competition, after deliberation, they decided to classify all family disciples into four ranks based on talent, combat strength, and contributions.

From lowest to highest, these ranks were Ordinary, Excellent, Elite, and Core. The resources and benefits each rank enjoyed varied accordingly.

For an ordinary clan member to rise to the Excellent rank, or an Excellent member to advance to Elite, and so on, they would need to continuously improve themselves and pass an assessment to be promoted. Of course, to prevent complacency or laziness after promotion, the Excellent, Elite, and Core ranks were time-limited.

Every three years, a comprehensive evaluation would be conducted based on the clan members’ cultivation realm, combat strength, and contributions.

Beyond classifying the clan members, some changes were also made to the existing direct-line, collateral-line, and external-line elders. For example, to manage the surging family industries, the number of core elders was increased by three.

These three additional core elders would be recommended—one each—from the direct, collateral, and external lines, joining the existing nine-member core elder council.

Additionally, a new position of deacon was established beneath the elders, specifically to assist the various line elders in managing the ever-growing array of industries.

After a series of discussions and finalizations, the family’s internal hierarchy was structured as follows:

First Rank: Lord of the Lu Royal Mansion.

Second Rank: Core Elder Council (twelve members).

Third Rank: Line Elders.

Fourth Rank: Core Clan Members.

Fifth Rank: Elite Clan Members / Deacons.

Sixth Rank: Excellent Clan Members.

Seventh Rank: Ordinary Clan Members.

A total of seven ranks.

Each rank came with different responsibilities, authority, and benefits.

After these changes, it wouldn’t take long for all Lu family members to be integrated into these seven ranks. With the family structure newly adjusted and confirmed, the meeting finally concluded.

Subsequently, Lu Qingxuan took out a small portion of resources and rewarded the core elders. After all, over the past half-year, most of the family’s affairs had been managed and handled by these core elders.

He had witnessed the family’s development firsthand, and naturally, he wanted to appropriately reward these elders for their contributions. When each elder saw the abundant resources in their hands, their faces lit up with excitement.

The lord was truly generous! They believed that with these resources, breaking through to the Soul Palace Realm was within reach. This was something they hadn’t dared to imagine before, yet now they had such an opportunity—how could they not be thrilled?

At this moment, each of them revered their lord even more. Inwardly, they resolved to work even harder for the family in the future, striving to develop it further and catch the lord’s eye for more advanced resources.

Taking in the elders’ expressions, Lu Qingxuan smiled, gave a few final instructions, and then the group dispersed from the council hall. However, after the meeting ended, Lu Qingxuan specifically asked the Eighth Elder, an earth-tier array master, to stay behind.

Seeing the other elders leave, the Eighth Elder, Lu Yunxiao, spoke up and asked, “My lord, may I know what instructions you have?”

But just as Lu Qingxuan was about to respond, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected a blue investment target. Host may proceed with investment!]

Hearing this, Lu Qingxuan’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten slightly. He hadn’t expected to trigger an investment prompt for the Eighth Elder at this moment.
