Lian Dajian's voice was stern and invoked a sense of danger in the minds of all the elders. They had not seen the patriarch act like this for ages and, when he had done so in the past, things had not turned out well.
"P-patriarch... may I ask something?" One of the high elders requested.
"You may." Lian Dajian permitted.
"Was... your surprise leave associated with the millennium forest?" the high elder questioned.
"Yes." Lian Dajian answered, much to their surprise.
But the surprise was just about to begin.
"I went to the Millennium forest to meet with the King as well as with the first Heir." Lian Dajian said, not revealing the actual contents of the conversations.
"Xiaojian!" Lian Dajian called out.
"Yes, Patriarch!" The former fatty stepped forward.
And as soon as he did this, the elders' eyes went wide.
'What!?'
'That's Lian Xiaojian?'
'How did the fatty get this thin?'
Several question bombarded the minds of the elders, perhaps even more so than the earlier decision of the patriarch. After all, they knew that Lian Xiaojian was the black sheep of the clan.
Even if he was the one that looked like the patriarch the most, he didn't actually have the same qualities other than being fat.
"Adult Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm?" Some of the elders finally noticed.
"Wasn't young master Xiaojian at the Child Soul stage before?" The elders recalled.
"This is young master?" The high elder couldn't help but wanting to confirm.
"Indeed. I am Lian Xiaojian." The former fatty replied.
~gasp~
Several gasps were heard among the elders.
Lian Xiaojian reaching the Adult Soul Stage of the Nascent soul realm wasn't really something that bothered them much. The most surprising thing was still him slimming down massively.
"The King of the Millennium forest, Lin Wu has done us a favor and helped Lian Xiaojian. Additionally the business and trade agreements made between the Lian clan and the millennium forest have been fruitful.
The 'beast treaty' was beneficial for us and you all already know the great profit margins that Junior Elder Kai Li has been regularly showing.
Keeping all this in mind, I have decided to formally induce the Millennium Forest kingdom as our ally as well as a close business partner. I believe that further cooperation will only be to our benefit and will lead to the glory of the Lian clan." Lian Dajian further explained.
Hearing all this, the elders felt enlightened.
"If it's like this, then we shouldn't waste anytime. Should I draw up some more deals, patriarch?" One of the enthusiastic elders said.
"All elders will look into the information provided by Junior Elder Kai Li when she returns to the clan soon and draw up favorable contracts. I shall select which ones to go ahead with." Lian Dajian stated.
"Oh, and Junior elder Kai Li shall also be promoted. From now on, she is promoted to the position of a full fledged Elder!" Lian Dian added.
Kai Li had already proved her capabilities and handling more than enough, thus this wasn't really something out of the ordinary.
'Since she could leave a favorable impression on King Lin Wu, she shouldn't be a bad investment.' Lian Dajian thought to himself.
Unknown to Lian Dajian though, the hidden crystal in his brain was already working. He hadn't even realized that the passive influential effect of the Pentagem Implant was affecting him.
Everything that Lin Wu had planned was going well.
Though he didn't have a way to check up on it all.
"System, how long till we can add the video and audio feed function to the implants?" Lin Wu asked.
~DING~
----
ANSWER: the system needs extensive scanning and reception range for that to be possible. The video and audio feed functions can certainly be added now, but the range would be limited to a hundred kilometers.
----
"Huh... that's less than the range of the entire forest. Guess I just need to wait for the formation array to expand." Lin Wu said to himself.
While he was curious about how things were going with Lian Dajian, he wasn't too bothered about it. He now had other aspects that he could progress on.
'The Long clan, Ji clan and Lian clan... all three have been implanted with my people now. Perhaps it is time to begin the second phase of the expansion...' Lin Wu thought to himself as his eyes glowed lightly.
~SHUA~
He waved his tail and the Avatar appeared in front of him. It was still cultivating and had been so for the past three years.
~Ding~

The avatar was less than half way to having gathered enough spirit Qi for the breakthrough, but it has also progressed in the Undaunted Sapphire Meridian Body art.
"Just five more percent till the third level..." Lin Wu muttered to himself. "I'd wait, but... the next phase will speed this up anyway." He said before closing his eyes.
A second later, the avatar opened its eyes instead and Lin Wu had taken control of it.
~SHUA~
His body started to morph as the crystalline segments started to disappear. The were soon replaced by a chitinous skin that was dark brown and black in color. In less than a minute, Lin Wu now looked like an entirely different beast.
