Strongest Family System

He read through each description carefully, understanding quickly that purchasing a single technique in isolation would accomplish very little. What the clan actually needed was not one powerful manual sitting in a vault but complete inheritances broad enough to train an entire lineage of successors across multiple disciplines simultaneously.

Then he found the section that made him sit forward.

Legendary Expert Legacy.

Instead of manuals alone, this category offered complete inheritances drawn from cultivators who had lived and reached extraordinary heights in eras long past. Grandmaster Yun, a master alchemist, is priced at eight hundred thousand points.

Sword Saint Li Shen is offering a full sword dao inheritance for one million two hundred thousand. Formation Emperor Mo Tian has a complete formation legacy available for one million five hundred thousand. And Medicine Saint Xuan is priced at nine hundred fifty thousand pounds.

Each entry noted the same structure. The purchase included the expert's accumulated knowledge, their practical experience, their personal research, their refined techniques, and their private notes on how they had developed those techniques over a lifetime of study. No memories of the person themselves survived within the inheritance—only the accumulated cultivation knowledge they had built, preserved, and transferred to whoever the clan chose to receive it.

The system laid it out clearly: these inheritances originated from cultivators who had achieved remarkable feats in earlier times, with their wisdom lasting well beyond the end of their own cultivation paths.

Robert spent a considerable amount of time simply reading before deciding on anything.

He made a conscious choice to avoid the largest and most costly inheritances. The clan was not in a position to take on something as grand as a full Sword Dao legacy or the complete teachings of a Formation Emperor—not without having disciples who were skilled enough to really study and absorb what those inheritances required. Pouring resources into strength that the clan could not yet wield would only waste the years he had spent carefully building up their assets.

Instead, Robert selected five purchases with deliberate restraint. He had no intention of wasting his system points simply because the store contained treasures beyond anything the Osborn clan currently possessed. What mattered was choosing inheritances that the clan could actually use.

The first was an advanced cultivation technique capable of guiding cultivators from the Spirit Root Realm all the way into the Soul Manifestation Realm. It would remove one of the greatest barriers facing the younger generation as their cultivation advanced.

Advanced Cultivation Technique — 450,000 system points.

The second technique was specifically suited for senior cultivators and elders. Who is in the Soul Manifestation Realm and higher? This inheritance would give them a more stable path forward instead of forcing them to rely on incomplete techniques gathered from outside sources.

Elder Cultivation Technique — 320,000 System Points.

The third acquisition was a full alchemical inheritance, which included everything from pill formulas and refining methods to medicinal knowledge and the invaluable experience necessary for training future alchemists. The clan's medicinal gardens were already producing increasingly valuable spiritual herbs. With this inheritance, they would finally possess the knowledge required to turn those resources into something far more valuable.

Complete Alchemy Inheritance — 280,000 System Points.

The fourth purchase focused entirely on formations. Robert selects it with the clan's future in mind. It would allow their formation masters to strengthen the defensive structures already protecting the clan while also giving them the foundation needed to create increasingly advanced formations as the clan expanded.

Ancient Formation Inheritance — 500,000 System Points.

His final purchase was a weapon-refined inheritance. As the cultivation of the clan's warriors increased, their current weapons would eventually become unsuitable for their strength. Rather than continuously purchasing expensive spirit weapons from outsiders, Robert wanted the Osborn Clan to eventually possess the ability to forge its own.

Weapon Refinement Inheritance — 420,000 System Points.

The system confirmed each purchase in succession.

Total System Points Spent: 1,970,000.

Previous System Point Balance: 5,000,000.

System Points Remaining: 3,030,000.

Clan Development Rating Increased.

Clan Potential Increased.

Robert studied the five inheritance items now resting inside his storage ring.

Nearly two million System Points had disappeared in a matter of moments. It was easily one of the largest investments he had ever made through the system, yet he felt no regret.

These inheritances did not belong to him personally.

They belonged to the Osborn Clan.

They would be studied, improved upon, and passed down to future generations, including disciples who had not even been born yet. If everything went according to his plans, the value of what he had purchased tonight would continue benefiting the clan long after the System Points spent on them had been forgotten.

Late that night, Robert personally carried all five inheritances into the clan treasury.

He did not intend to make them freely available simply because the clan now possessed them. Each inheritance was placed behind strict contribution requirements. A disciple who wanted access would have to prove their loyalty, ability, and dedication to the clan.

The most advanced sections would have even greater restrictions.

Knowledge this valuable could strengthen the Osborn Clan for generations, but in the wrong hands, it could just as easily become a weakness.

As Robert stepped away from the treasury and prepared to leave, a quiet notification appeared before him.

Hidden Requirement Updated: Guardian Legacy Arc

Current Progress: 6%. Recommended Preparation:

Reach the Soul Manifestation Realm.

Strengthen Clan Foundation.

Cultivate Qualified Successors.

Robert stopped and looked back at the sealed Treasury doors.

Only now did he begin to understand something he had failed to fully grasp while standing inside the ancient Guardian Training Hall.

The Keepers had preserved their duty for nearly three thousand years, but they had not accomplished that because every generation produced an extraordinary genius.

They had created something far more reliable.

A system of inheritance.

Knowledge is passed from one generation to another. Authority transferred from one Guardian to the next. New candidates were trained before the previous generation disappeared. Their entire settlement had been constructed around ensuring that the responsibility would never depend entirely on a single person.

For three thousand years, individuals had come and gone.

The system they created had remained.

Robert looked once more at the treasury.

In his own way, he was beginning to build something similar.

The cultivation techniques, alchemy knowledge, formation inheritance, and weapon-refining methods stored behind those doors were not simply resources for making the current Osborn Clan stronger. They were foundations meant to ensure that the clan's strength would continue growing even when Robert was no longer personally responsible for every decision.

If he intended to pursue the Guardian Legacy one day, he could not allow the Osborn Clan to depend entirely on him.

Before he could inherit something that had survived for three thousand years, he first needed to build something capable of surviving without him.

Robert finally turned away from the treasury and walked through the quiet compound towards his quarters.

Nearly two million System Points had been spent tonight.

But for the first time, Robert felt that he had not simply purchased strength.

He had purchased the foundation of the Osborn Clan's future.
