Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Although he and the Lin Family members had become sworn kin, they often had dealings with each other over the past decades, providing mutual assistance on numerous occasions.

In consideration of the long term, the Lin Family's full support now was also common human sentiment.

In any case, regardless of whether the Lin Family had an ulterior motive or not, he had indeed received their kindness.

If he were to break through to the Golden Core Realm, by both sentiment and reason, he would owe the Lin Family a debt of gratitude.

Regaining his focus, a trace of a smile crossed Ye Pinghai's face, his eyes filled with unyielding determination.

He looked around and then felt the abundant spiritual energy nearby, fully sufficient for his breakthrough attempt.

Under these conditions, he had no intention of delaying any longer and prepared to immediately attempt to reshape his Golden Core.

Once he made up his mind, his expression turned resolute as he began to operate his cultivation technique.

A short time, about the length of brewing a cup of tea, passed.

His cultivation technique had completed a Grand Circulation, and the spiritual power within his body also slowly began to revolve.

Feeling his state, Ye Pinghai formed seals with both hands, twisting them into an arcane gesture.

Following that, his complexion suddenly reddened, his eyes widening as if in great agony.

Simultaneously, a spiritual light suddenly condensed at his Sky Spirit Cover, suspended directly above his head.

Just then, the spiritual energy above the valley began to surge tumultuously.

The previously still spiritual energy, as if finding an outlet, poured crazily into the cave where he was in seclusion.

Within the cave, a massive amount of spiritual energy flowed in from his Sky Spirit Cover, eventually converging into his somewhat ethereal Golden Core.

At this moment, Ye Pinghai's face reddened once again, fresh blood continuously spilled from the corners of his mouth, his countenance twisted in pain.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a maniacal fervor.

Clearly, at this stage, there was no turning back.

Either he would leap over the dragon gate to become a lofty Golden Core Cultivator, or he would die and his path would end here.

Knowing this, Ye Pinghai dared not delay, furiously absorbing the spiritual energy entering his body.

At the same time, he pushed his cultivation technique to the limit, refining the influx of spiritual energy and eventually focusing it within the nascent Golden Core.

In that moment, his body began to undergo a transformation, as the newly added spiritual power was further refined into an extremely dense liquid, where even the slightest bit held a higher quality than before.

And the new spiritual power gradually filled the ephemeral Golden Core; with every strand of spiritual power integrated, the incorporeal Golden Core slowly became more substantial, seemingly enhancing its quality.

Surely, once the Golden Core was filled, reshaping it successfully, it would provoke the Threefold Golden Elixir Thunder Tribulation.

Acutely aware of this, Ye Pinghai's confidence soared as he hastened the process, refining the surging spiritual energy within him.

...

At the entrance of the valley.

At this moment, Lin Shikang sat cross-legged at the valley's entrance, his eyes tightly shut, deep in cultivation.

At some point, the copious spiritual energy above him began to converge toward the depths of the valley.

At this very moment of change, he immediately felt the clear disturbance.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and stood up, gazing thoughtfully into the interior of the valley.

Quickly, based on the change in spiritual energy and the ancestral breakthrough wisdom passed down, he surmised that these signs likely indicated Ye Pinghai was preparing to form his Golden Core.

With this thought, Lin Shikang became quite excited, inwardly exclaiming.

"Over two years inside, and finally there are signs of a breakthrough!"

Coming back to his senses, he immediately sent a message, summoning Clan Leader Lin Shihua over.

In just a short while.

Lin Shihua hastened over, sensing the changes within the valley from a distance, his face brightening with excitement.

"Third Brother, Brother Ye has been in seclusion for over two years, without a hint of activity. Now it looks like he might have reached the step to form his Golden Core, doesn't it?"

Hearing Lin Shihua's question, Lin Shikang nodded then responded, "According to the records of ancestral experience left to us, coupled with the changes in the spiritual energy, it is very likely the case!"

Hearing these affirmative words, Lin Shihua recalled the statements recorded in his insights and combined them with the current changes, finally confirming the truth of the matter.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Shihua was overjoyed, as if the Lin Family Members had taken this step themselves.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Shikang gave a faint smile, then instructed.

"Shihua, Brother Ye is approaching the critical moment in his breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm. If all goes well, he may be able to forge a Golden Core within a month or so."

"By that time, I'm afraid the Threefold Golden Elixir Thunder Tribulation will also be upon us."

Hearing this, Lin Shihua nodded, clearly understanding the terrifying nature of the tribulation.

"I called you here today to discuss the tribulation in advance. If you have any opinions, feel free to speak up and discuss!"

As Lin Shikang brought up the matter, Lin Shihua thought it over and then replied, "Third Brother is right!"

"The power of the Threefold Lightning Tribulation goes without saying. If not handled properly, our clan territory could suffer heavy losses."

"The loss of the clan territory is the lesser concern; we can always rebuild. What I fear most is that if the tribulation's power is too great and our people are harmed, that would be the worst outcome."

"Hmm... thus, we must take some precautions to avoid unnecessary losses to the family!" Lin Shikang echoed.

As soon as Lin Shikang finished speaking, Lin Shihua continued, sharing his own thoughts.

"Third Brother, I suggest expanding the restricted area and strictly notifying everyone that entry within a twenty-mile radius of the valley is strictly forbidden during this period."

"Furthermore, we should strengthen the internal vigilance of the entire clan territory, deploying more family members to widen the patrol areas."

"In addition, replenish the spent spiritual power of the Protective Clan Formation as much as possible. If necessary, we can use spirit stones to create spiritual energy to aid Brother Ye."

"As for when the tribulation begins, we will likely need to temporarily deactivate the Protective Clan Formation and reopen it once the tribulation ends."

Hearing these careful and cautious arrangements, Lin Shikang nodded in approval.

In his eyes, Lin Shihua, as the Clan Leader, might not be the most powerful, but his management of clan affairs was always meticulous and watertight.

At this moment, Lin Shikang chuckled and said, "Let's do as you say. Arrange for this as soon as you leave here."

"Alright, rest assured, Third Brother!" Lin Shihua replied.

After concluding, Lin Shikang changed the subject and inquired about the development of the beast tide attack and Lin Tianming's participation in the war at the front.

Hearing the inquiry, Lin Shihua nodded and spoke truthfully.

"Third Brother, the situation in the Luoyun Mountain Range is becoming more stable. Although traces of Demonic Beasts appear from time to time, there haven't been many Second-Order Demonic Beasts showing themselves; the family's key territories are not encountering any major problems."

"At this rate, the beast tide should end soon!"

"As for the frontlines, according to the latest news, there have been several major battles in Yuyao City, with the Human Race consistently gaining the upper hand."

"Tian Ming is quite strong and has slain numerous Demonic Beasts in these battles, rising to prominence and maintaining a steady spot at the top of the Demon Hunter Leaderboard."

"Is that so?"

Lin Shikang was still somewhat concerned and couldn't help but press for more details.

"It's absolutely true, the family has spared no effort in tipping off people from the Commerce Alliance for this latest information," Lin Shihua responded.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shikang finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Haha..."

Pleased, Lin Shikang laughed heartily for a while before sharing his own thoughts.

"The current situation is excellent; signs show that the beast tide attack is receding."

"Our family has been quite stable over the past few years, and overall, the losses have not been significant."

"Most critically, Tian Ming has achieved such great success, and if he keeps it up, he might even compete for a spot in the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm."

"And with Brother Ye finally showing signs of activity, once he breaks through to the Golden Core Stage, the wealth and resources we've invested may well yield a good return!"

Hearing these comments and seeing Lin Shikang's knowing smile, Lin Shihua was also swept up in excitement.

Then, in high spirits, the two conversed back and forth for a short while.

Seeing that things had been sufficiently arranged, Lin Shihua then proposed to take his leave.

Seeing this, Lin Shikang didn't hold him back but instead, gave a few more instructions before letting Lin Shihua depart from the valley.
