The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

84: Chapter 84 Conferring Titles on Spiritual Vein Worship, Nascent Soul Powerhouse Suppresses the Jiang Family“Since everyone is present, I will be straightforward. Lu Xin has established a connection with my Jiang Family’s Spiritual Vein. I now announce that Lu Xin is the Spiritual Vein Patron of my Jiang Family, a position second only to mine.”

Jiang Chen’s voice was not loud, but it carried undeniable authority, making the Council Hall so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Below him, the Grand Elder suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, a trace of shock flashing through his cloudy pupils. However, he did not immediately object. In his mind, since Lu Xin had established a connection with a Rank Three Spiritual Vein, she was now a Golden Core True Person, and he, being only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, had no right to speak.

“Clan Chief, perhaps we should postpone this matter? Lu Jun and his daughter have just arrived. How about we let them rest for a period first?”

Although he knew they had no reason to object given Lu Xin’s Golden Core strength, having a newcomer—and an eleven or twelve-year-old Little Girl at that—hold a position above theirs made him somewhat uncomfortable.

“There are no ’buts.’ Furthermore, my Jiang Family’s Spiritual Vein is not third-tier, but fifth-tier. This means Lu Xin is now a Soul Transformation Divine Lord. Who still opposes Lu Xin becoming the Spiritual Vein Patron?”

Jiang Chen felt a rush of satisfaction seeing the Elders’ stunned expressions.

Lu Xin’s father, Lu Jun, suddenly stood up, his face filled with disbelief: “Clan Chief, are you saying... my Little Girl... Soul Transformation...”

Seeing Lu Jun too excited to speak, Jiang Chen nodded at him.

“Soul Transformation Stage?!”

The Grand Elder cried out in surprise, leaping up from his chair. The other Elders were also horrified, all looking toward Lu Xin simultaneously.

Seeing this, Lu Xin immediately retreated a few steps, only calming down after tugging on Lu Jun’s sleeve.

Jiang Chen, witnessing this scene, got a dark look: “My dear ancestor, you are in the Soul Transformation Realm, not a Little Girl.”

“Sit down, all of you. Look at how you are behaving.”

Finally, Jiang Chen scolded the Elders a few times. Upon hearing this, the Elders seemed to realize they had frightened Lu Xin, the young lady, and awkwardly smiled before sitting back down.

“Lu Xin, circulate your Spiritual Power and show them.”

Jiang Chen said to Lu Xin. He knew that although he had spoken, it was better for Lu Xin to demonstrate it herself; no words were as direct as actual action.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Lu Xin stepped forward, gently raising her small hand. A wisp of glossy Spiritual Qi flowed from her fingertips. That Spiritual Qi was rich and vast, far surpassing what Golden Core or Foundation Establishment Cultivators could achieve—it was the unique spiritual essence of a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator.

This time, Lu Xin was prepared and did not release the Pressure of the Soul Transformation Realm.

The Elders swallowed hard, their voices trembling:

“Soul Transformation Stage... My Jiang Family actually produced a Soul Transformation Stage expert? This... this is simply unbelievable!”

Ling Xuanye, the Guest Elder who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a degree of gravity:

“Clan Chief, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages. Miss Lu Xin possessing Soul Transformation Stage Cultivation is certainly a great asset to my Jiang Family, but the Ethereal Body is bound to the Spiritual Vein. If the Spiritual Vein is damaged, she will also...”

“Elder Ling is absolutely right.”

Jiang Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

“However, currently, the Great Wilderness Land Reclamation is fraught with danger, surrounded by strong enemies. Only with Lu Xin guarding us can I rest assured. Elders, Lu Xin is now the strongest Combat Power in my Jiang Family. From now on, no one is allowed to show her the slightest disrespect.”

Lu Jun trembled with excitement, bowing deeply toward Jiang Chen: “On behalf of my Little Girl, I thank the Clan Chief!”

The Grand Elder stroked his beard and mused:

“The Clan Chief is wise. With a Soul Transformation Stage expert present, even if another Desolate Beast Tide occurs, we will not fear it!”

“Lu Xin, with your current strength, you can heal your father’s leg.”

Jiang Chen looked at Lu Jun and his daughter and spoke slowly. He had originally intended to act himself, but now that Lu Xin was stronger than him, there was no need for him to intervene.

“Can I do it?”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Lu Xin was somewhat doubtful. After all, she had suddenly gained the usable Soul Transformation Realm, but she didn’t know exactly how to use it.

“I’m telling you, you...”

“Master, this is a small issue. I’ll solve it for you.”

Just as Jiang Chen was about to lecture her, he was interrupted by the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein perched on Lu Xin’s shoulder.

It was seen soaring from Lu Xin’s shoulder, and then a green beam of light surged into Lu Jun’s thigh.

Lu Jun felt a gentle yet vast Spiritual Qi surge into the Meridians of his leg. The tendons and bones there, which had been broken and dormant due to the Desolate Beast’s impact, began to feel a tingling warmth under the nourishment of this Spiritual Qi.

He subconsciously moved his right leg. The limb, which had been stiff and painful, could now flex and extend freely. Unbelievable light instantly burst forth in his eyes.

“This... this is...”

Lu Jun’s voice choked up. He tremblingly reached out and touched his leg. The sensation was no longer painful when lifted; instead, he could stomp his foot down firmly.

The Spirit of the Spiritual Vein shook its small body, proudly lifting its chin:

“A mere blockage of Meridians and broken bones is nothing more than a trivial effort for This Spirit. Don’t forget, Xin Yatou is bound to the fifth-tier spirit vein. My power is her power.”

Seeing this, Jiang Chen curved his lips into a smile:

“It seems the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein knows how to use this power better than I do. Uncle Lu, you can rest easy now. In the future, during the Great Wilderness Land Reclamation, with you and your daughter present, the Jiang Family will have much greater confidence.”

The Grand Elder was now completely convinced, bowing deeply to Lu Xin:

“The Spiritual Vein Patron’s strength reaches the heavens. This Old Man was previously negligent, and I hope you will forgive my offense.”

The remaining Elders also stood up and bowed. The previous grudges arising from her being an outsider had long been crushed and dissipated by the power of the Soul Transformation Stage.

Lu Xin looked at the tears in her father’s eyes, then glanced at the respectful Elders filling the hall. She tightly clenched her small hands. A little of the timidity finally faded from her face, replaced by a trace of certainty belonging to a powerful expert.

“Alright. With Lu Xin guarding the Jiang Family from now on, our Jiang Family must quickly develop, Grand Elder.”

Jiang Chen looked toward the Grand Elder and said.

“Clan Chief.”

The Grand Elder stood up, his body still trembling slightly with excitement.

“Distribute all remaining Resources within the Family. I want all Cultivators in the Family to strive hard in Secluded Cultivation to achieve Breakthroughs.”

Jiang Chen said to the Grand Elder in an unquestionable tone.

“But, Clan Chief...”

However, before the Grand Elder could finish speaking, Jiang Chen interrupted him.

“There are no ’buts.’ Resources are meant to be used by people. If we don’t use them, they’ll just sit there gathering dust.”

“Yes, I understand. I will go and make the arrangements.”

Hearing Jiang Chen say this, the Grand Elder could only agree, but the depression in his heart did not decrease.

What he thought internally was: *One does not know the cost of necessities until one manages the household. Wait, he does manage the household; he is the Clan Chief, but he has never actually managed the finances.*

“Wait.”

Just as the Grand Elder was preparing to leave, Jiang Chen called out to him again.

The Grand Elder looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

“Here are some Spirit Stones. Take them and distribute them. You Elders must also quickly achieve Breakthroughs in your Cultivation, or you won’t keep up with the Family’s development, and your Elder positions won’t be secure.”

Jiang Chen said lightly, and then a storage ring flew into the Grand Elder’s hand.
