After Zhao Lingxi and Ling Qianqian left, Lin Fan got down to business.

"Patriarch Lin, I won't beat around the bush. I'm sure you've guessed my intentions!"

"So, I wonder what the Patriarch Lin thinks of Qianqian?"

Lin Fan was naturally pleased with Ling Qianqian.

He just didn't expect Ling Zhan to be so direct.

It was quite comfortable dealing with such a person; there were no hidden agendas.

Of course, it was also possible that Ling Zhan was adapting his approach to the person he was dealing with.

Lin Fan didn't overthink it. He smiled and said to Ling Zhan:

"Since Emperor Ling is willing to part with her, how could I refuse?"

"After all, for me, it's a sure profit!"

At this moment, Lin Fan appropriately made a joke.

Ling Zhan laughed heartily after hearing this.

"The Patriarch Lin is straightforward! Then this Marriage Alliance is settled!"

"From now on, Qianqian will be a member of your Lin Clan. I also hope the Patriarch Lin will treat her well!"

"Mainly, Qianqian has been pampered in the Ling Family, so if there are any shortcomings, please bear with her, Patriarch Lin!"

There was nothing he could do; Qianqian was a princess in the Lingxi Kingdom, constantly surrounded by the flattery of eunuchs and palace maids.

He was a bit worried that Ling Qianqian wouldn't adapt here and might anger Lin Fan.

"Emperor Ling, rest assured, I would never mistreat my own woman!"

"Good, with your words, Patriarch Lin, I am relieved!"

As for the wedding and such, Ling Zhan didn't mention it.

After all, Lin Fan had already held one with Zhao Lingxi.

This was also why he directly brought Ling Qianqian over.

After the main matters were resolved, the two began to chat... Outside, Ling Qianqian was also asking Zhao Lingxi about Lin Fan.

"Cousin, what kind of person is the Patriarch Lin?"

Looking at the somewhat shy Ling Qianqian, Zhao Lingxi couldn't help but tease, "What, already starting to inquire about your future husband?"

Hearing Zhao Lingxi's words, Ling Qianqian's face flushed.

However, she still said seriously, "Cousin, don't make fun of me!"

"You also know that with our status, we can't help ourselves in such matters!"

Hearing Ling Qianqian's words, Zhao Lingxi deeply sympathized.

She had been in the same situation before.

Fortunately for her, it was a great fated opportunity.

She was lucky, and her cousin was also lucky.

"Qianqian, don't worry, my husband treats people very well!"

"Look at me, I'm already at the Purple Mansion Realm strength!"

"As long as you enter the Lin Clan, you'll reach it soon too!"

"As for other things, I can't say much now, but in short, you definitely won't regret it!"

"Cousin, with your words, I feel relieved!"

Ling Qianqian was naturally very much looking forward to the Purple Mansion Realm.

If she relied on her own Cultivation, it would take at least several decades.

Next, the two chatted about some interesting things from the past.

After estimating some time, Zhao Lingxi said to Ling Qianqian:

"Qianqian, I think they've chatted enough. Let's go over and see!"

"Okay!"

Lin Fan saw the two return and greeted them with a smile:

"Zhao Lingxi, Qianqian, you've returned just in time. I was about to send someone to call you; dinner is about to start!"

"Then it seems we arrived at just the right time!"

...After a full meal, Ling Zhan also prepared to leave!

He stood up and said to Ling Qianqian, "Qianqian, Imperial Grandfather is going back!"

"From now on, don't throw any princess tantrums here!"

Ling Qianqian felt a bit sad upon hearing this.

"Imperial Grandfather, please take care. I'll come back to visit you often!"

"Haha, with your words, Imperial Grandfather is very happy!"

Saying that, Ling Zhan looked at Lin Fan: "Patriarch Lin, I shall take my leave now!"

"Alright, Emperor Ling, safe travels!"

As for the betrothal gifts and such, Lin Fan hadn't held back any; he had already given them to Ling Zhan.

Isn't that why people send their daughters for a Marriage Alliance?

So, in this regard, Lin Fan was not stingy.

Anyway, he would never suffer a loss.

"Zhao Lingxi, I'll send Qianqian back to the Divine Firmament Realm first. You go with her and explain things inside!"

"Okay, husband!"

...After Zhao Lingxi and Ling Qianqian went to the Divine Firmament Realm.

Lin Fan began to inventory the cultivation techniques and Hundred Arts Legacies within the Clan.

Currently, apart from his main cultivation technique and the inherited cultivation techniques within the Clan.

The highest-Level cultivation technique was the "Azure Origin Art" obtained from the Quasi-Saint Cave Mansion, reaching Saint-level Middle Grade.

There were quite a few cultivation techniques below Saint-level.

Besides those rewarded by the System, Lin Fan had obtained many cultivation techniques in that Quasi-Saint Cave Mansion!

Heaven-Tier cultivation techniques: 0 Supreme-grade, 1 High-Grade, 1 Middle Grade, 3 Low-Grade;

Heaven-Tier Martial Techniques: 1 Supreme-grade, 0 High-Grade, 2 Middle Grade, 2 Low-Grade;

Earth-Grade cultivation techniques: 33 Supreme-grade, 47 High-Grade, 73 Middle Grade, 128 Low-Grade;

Earth-Grade Martial Techniques: 36 Supreme-grade, 52 High-Grade, 81 Middle Grade, 145 Low-Grade;

Profound Grade cultivation techniques: 263 Supreme-grade, 325 High-Grade, 562 Middle Grade, 681 Low-Grade;

Profound Grade Martial Techniques: 282 Supreme-grade, 389 High-Grade, 627 Middle Grade, 833 Low-Grade;

As for Yellow Grade cultivation techniques and Martial Techniques, Lin Fan directly omitted them.

The quantity was much less than Profound Grade; after all, Lin Fan didn't find any Yellow Grade cultivation techniques or Martial Techniques in the Quasi-Saint Cave Mansion.

Next were the Hundred Arts Legacies.

Among them, the Alchemist Inheritance reached Low-Grade Heaven Rank; this came from the Quasi-Saint Cave Mansion, so it required self-study.

The Artifact Refiner Inheritance was also Low-Grade Heaven Rank, also from the Quasi-Saint Cave Mansion.

Next was the Beastmaster Inheritance, Earth-Grade Mid-Tier.

The Brewer Inheritance, mysterious grade - supreme quality.

Currently, the Lin Clan's Hundred Arts Legacies only consisted of these four types.

Currently, the Lin Clan's Artifact Refiners are managed by Su Qingluan.

She herself is a mysterious grade - supreme quality Artifact Refiner.

Under her, there are over a thousand apprentices: 300 Yellow Grade Low-rank, 160 Yellow Grade Mid-rank, 35 Yellow Grade High-Rank, and 5 Yellow-grade top quality Artifact Refiners.

Aside from Su Qingluan, there are temporarily no Artifact Refiners above Profound Grade.

Next, Alchemy is managed by Su Qingyuan.

She herself is a mysterious grade - supreme quality Alchemist.

Under her, the apprentices number as many as two thousand.

In addition, there are 500 Yellow Grade Low-rank, 190 Yellow Grade Mid-rank, 95 Yellow Grade High-Rank, and 15 Yellow-grade top quality Alchemists.

Most of the Medicinal Pills and weapons currently sold at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion are produced by them.

Especially the Alchemists, with an unlimited supply of medicinal ingredients, their progress will be very fast.

As for Beastmasters, they have only just started, so no one has entered the 入門 (initial stage) yet.

There are also quite a few Brewers. Under Lin Fan's personal guidance, there are 700 Yellow Grade Low-rank Brewers, 350 Middle Grade, 135 High-Grade, and 20 Supreme-grade.

Fortunately, one person has reached Low-Rank Profound Grade, and that is Mu Shixue.

To help Lin Fan, she studied diligently, which allowed her to reach Profound Grade ahead of others.

Currently, these Brewers are all managed by Mu Shixue.

Once these people mature, they will bring a continuous stream of income to the Lin Clan.
