Chapter 390: Chapter 232 Recruitment_2
Regaining his focus, Lin Shilu instructed Lin Xingcheng with a few words, asking him to oversee the recruitment of the Monster Hunting Squad in Luoyun Market.
Lin Xingcheng clasped his fists to accept the order and then stood up to leave the secret chamber, ready to begin the work of recruitment.

As Lin Xingcheng left, Lin Shilu said, “Tian Ming, solely recruiting Qi Refining Stage Cultivators for the Monster Hunting Squad cannot provide strong support for the market’s safety. What are your thoughts on recruiting Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators to join the Monster Hunting Squad?”
His words made Lin Tianming fall into deep thought. Although the family had discussed this matter before and agreed to recruit Foundation Establishment Cultivators as much as possible, it was not an easy task to accomplish.
After all, the Minor Foundation Building Pill wasn’t so attractive to Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators unless they were for their offspring or their companion, which might persuade some cultivators to join.
Otherwise, for the lone Loose Cultivators, with their capabilities, they could easily head to larger markets or seek temporary refuge in the neighboring Huangyang Country Cultivation World to avoid danger, rather than join a small market and put themselves in peril.
...
Regaining his focus, Lin Tianming asked, “Fifteenth Grandfather, how many Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators are currently in Luoyun Market, and what do they think of the upcoming beast tide?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shilu pondered for a moment and then said, “Currently, there are three Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators in the market. Their cultivation is not very high, including one at the Initial Foundation Establishment Stage, one at the Third Level of Foundation Establishment, and the remaining one is the previously traded Su He!”
“Su He?”
Lin Tianming recalled and quickly remembered that this person had attended a trade meet and provided information about mature Purple Yin Grass.
To acquire some mature Purple Yin Grass, the Lin Family had sent Lin Shikang, who had exerted considerable effort to obtain it, and then refined some Hun Tian Pills, allowing Lin Shikang to break through to the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment.
Regaining his focus, he then said, “Fifteenth Grandfather, since there are a few Loose Cultivators in the market, we must bring them over by any means and strive to have them stay within the market to rise or fall together with our Lin Family!”
Lin Shilu nodded and then frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.
“Tian Ming, this matter is indeed very important. However, what benefits we can offer is somewhat troublesome. If the item is too precious, our Lin Family can’t afford it; if it’s too trivial, it will not move them!”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming took out a storage bag and from it, he retrieved a Hun Tian Pill, passing it along with the storage bag to Lin Shilu.
“Fifteenth Grandfather, before I left the family, Third Grandfather gave me this Hun Tian Pill and two Second Order Low Grade Artifacts to bring to you, Elder. As for the matter of recruiting Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, you have full authority. And this Hun Tian Pill is among the treasures the family can offer, with relatively high value and appeal!”
Lin Shilu accepted the storage bag and the Hun Tian Pill, showing a satisfied look.
The value of this Hun Tian Pill was not low, in no way inferior to a Foundation Establishment Pill, and for all Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, it was a rare treasure.
And Second Order Low Grade Attack Talismans also have some appeal for cultivators at the initial stages of Foundation Establishment, with these treasures in hand, convincing those Loose Cultivators might not be impossible after all!
Regaining his focus, he smiled and said, “Tian Ming, there’s no time to lose; the beast tide could happen at any moment. Let’s go pay a visit to the three of them right away!”
Lin Tianming nodded and left the secret chamber with Lin Shilu.
Less than half a moment later, the two came to a residence within the market.
Standing in a corner, Lin Shilu sent out a message, and soon a figure emerged from the residence, it was the previously dealt with Loose Cultivator, Su He.
Before he even arrived, his hearty laugh could be heard: “Ha ha… I’m honored by the visit of the two fellow Daoists!”
Lin Shilu gave a chuckling smile as well, joining Lin Tianming in clasping fists and bowing to greet Su He.
Su He quickly returned the gesture, then ushered the two into his residence with an inviting wave of his hand, and went on to serve them Spiritual Tea.
The three sat down in the courtyard, and after some small talk, Su He inquired about their visit.
Lin Shilu took a light sip of tea before getting straight to the point, “Su Daoyou must already be aware that a beast tide has erupted in the Yuanwu Country, and within a mere month’s time, it overran the mighty Yuanwu Country Xiuxian Realm!”
Su He nodded; this news had spread like autumn leaves scattering in the wind, quickly reaching the surrounding areas from Yuanwu Country Xiuxian Realm.
The moment he heard the news in Luoyun Market, he knew about it and planned to leave for a while to seek refuge in the neighboring Huangyang Country Cultivation World.
After all, as a Loose Cultivator without any ties, where he cultivated made little difference to him—it was merely a waste of some time and a minor loss. There was no need to stay in the weak Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World, where a beast tide could come crashing down their way and possibly bring about mortal danger.
“Lin, we’ve had many dealings, and I won’t hide it from you. I plan to leave for Huangyang Country Cultivation World as soon as possible, to take refuge for several years!” Su He said.
Hearing this, Lin Shilu seemed to have anticipated the reply; he immediately said, “Su Daoyou doesn’t have to be so anxious. The Yuanwu Country is far from the Wei Kingdom, and although the beast tide is indeed terrifying, it’s still uncertain whether it will reach the Wei Kingdom!”
“And the reason for our visit today is indeed to discuss a matter, and we hope Su Daoyou will consider our proposal carefully before making your plans!”
“Oh?”
“If you have something to say, Lin, please speak your mind. Though I am of low strength, I still have some affection for my homeland, Luoyun Mountain, and given the many dealings our Lin Family has had with you, as long as it’s within my power and I am not putting myself at risk, there’s no issue in lending a hand!” Su He stated.
Su He’s words were well-spoken, but he also made it clear he would only help if his safety was assured. If it involved risking his life, it wouldn’t be so simple.
However, he didn’t outright refuse, and with the promise of substantial rewards, there might still be room for negotiation.
Returning to the matter at hand, Lin Shilu chuckled and then said, “Su Daoyou truly is a man of sentiment, which I greatly admire!”
“The reason we’ve come to visit is indeed to ask for assistance. While the matter of the beast tide is uncertain, if it turns out to be a false alarm, naturally all is well. However, our Lin Family has been established here for more than eight hundred years, and all our roots and property are here, so we need to make comprehensive preparations!”
“In preparation for this potential crisis, the Lin Family has made some arrangements. I and two younger Foundation Establishment members will be stationed in the market, and we have also summoned two daoyou, Luo Chenggu and Sun Ruiyang.”
“Moreover, the market has spent a great deal of treasures, and the Lin Family has even offered Minor Foundation Building Pills, recruiting a large number of Qi Refining Cultivators to stay in the market with us, to jointly defend against the beast tide attack!”
Lin Shilu’s remark startled Su He. It was evident that the Lin Family valued Luoyun Market highly. Not only did they dispatch Lin Shilu, who was at the Seventh Level of Foundation Establishment, but they also deployed two Foundation Establishment Family members.
In addition to that, they had gathered a substantial force of elite members from their family, and even provided all their scarce Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects to strengthen the market’s defenses, having put their utmost effort into this task.
Seeing that Su He remained silent, Lin Shilu continued, “As a local family, the Lin Family has the responsibility to protect the land of Luoyun Mountain Range; even if it requires some sacrifice, it’s only right.”
With those words, he seized the moral high ground. Although to Cultivators, power was everything and there was no place for morality, in some cases, moral standings did have their influence.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Su He nodded, his demeanor becoming somewhat more conciliatory— at least not as resistant as before.
Observing this, Lin Shilu seized the moment to persuade him, mentioning the matter of rewards. If Su He helped Luoyun Market survive the beast tide attack, whatever Demonic Beasts he killed, their spoils would be his to keep, and he would be offered a Hun Tian Pill as compensation.
