Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

As Lin Tianming left, Qin Xi's complexion finally returned to normal, but her rapidly beating heart betrayed her inner turmoil.

Qin Xi let out a long sigh of relief and soon after fell into deep thought.

In her heart, after over two years of interaction, Lin Tianming's personality and the way he handled things left her with a greatly favorable impression.

Sometimes he was considerate, sometimes domineering, other times a bit cold-hearted—it seemed complex, but was indeed genuine.

And Lin Tianming's assistance to her was absolute; he never asked for anything in return or made any demands.

She had only felt this sense of protection and importance when her grandfather was still alive.

After her grandfather passed away, she cultivated alone, wandering the Cultivation World.

Throughout the years of her trials, as a Loose Cultivator, with insufficient power and cultivation, she faced endless oppression and hardships, unimaginable to many.

Yet, she persevered, overcoming countless difficulties and life-threatening crises.

The sole reason she struggled so desperately was to achieve a higher realm of cultivation, to seek revenge for her grandfather.

Living with this hatred was exhausting, and incredibly taxing, like carrying a heavy burden that sometimes felt so overwhelming that she could hardly breathe.

But since meeting Lin Tianming, it seemed as if she had placed the hatred at the bottom of her heart, and her spirit had revived.

This feeling of trust and protection was wonderfully uplifting and allowed her to appreciate the true meaning of cultivation.

At this moment, a subtle change began to take root deep within her heart, softening her.

Finally regaining her composure, she looked towards Lin Tianming's cultivation room before turning and walking towards her own secret chamber.

...

Inside the cultivation room.

Lin Tianming sat cross-legged, holding a Blood Crow Fruit in his hand.

Gazing at the lustrous fruit, smelling its unique fragrance, his eyes sparkled with longing.

The last breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Sixth Level happened soon after he arrived in Yuyao City, facilitated by a Sky Rainbow Fruit that enabled him to advance in one go.

Now, nearly a year and a half had passed.

During this period, aside from engaging in major battles, he spent all his time cultivating, leading a life of great fulfillment.

A year and a half of intense battles had solidified his foundation mightily.

And the cultivation realm, which was once somewhat tentative, had now reached the medium stage of Foundation Establishment Sixth Level, and he wasn't far from the latter stage.

Now, with these two Blood Crow Fruits, he felt confident that he could reach the peak of Foundation Establishment Sixth Level.

If lucky enough, he might even break through to Foundation Establishment Seventh Level.

Thinking this, Lin Tianming was excited, clearly somewhat impatient.

Resolved, he promptly straightened his posture and began circulating his cultivation technique.

Once he reached his peak condition, he swallowed a Blood Crow Fruit without hesitation.

As the Blood Crow Fruit entered his mouth, a sweet taste overwhelmed his senses with extreme comfort, blushing his face rapidly.

Immediately, powerful energy burst forth from the fruit and spread rapidly along his meridians throughout his body.

Sensing this energy, Lin Tianming's expression lit up with excitement, and he quickly began to circulate his cultivation technique, refining the energy.

Soon, the refined energy transformed into surging spiritual power, starting to gather within his Seven Sea Dantian.

At this moment, Lin Tianming looked down at his Qi Sea Dantian, the newly refined spiritual power began filling it.

Beyond that, his aura was slowly becoming more solid as well, appearing increasingly condense.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming did not stop, but began to circulate his cultivation technique with all his might, aggressively refining the remaining energy.

...

Time swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had elapsed.

Qianchuan Market.

In the square before the market's auction house, numerous cultivators gathered.

Everyone's eyes were wide open as they gazed at the notices posted on the square, sparking a flurry of discussions.

Suddenly, the whole square buzzed with excitement as everyone engaged in heated debates about the content of the notices.

At that very moment, Lin Xingpu was blending in with the crowd, looking at the contents of the notice, falling into a frenzy of elation.

On closer inspection, the content posted on the notice detailed the final results of the battle in Yuyao City, rankings on the Demon Hunter Leaderboard, as well as achievements and spoils of war.

At that moment, a Qi Refining cultivator standing by Lin Xingpu's side seemed to recognize him and had also heard of Lin Tianming's illustrious name.

He gazed at Lin Xingpu, who was standing there in a daze, and then congratulated him warmly, "Lin, congratulations on your senior's tremendous achievement!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another Qi Refining cultivator chimed in.

"Indeed, Lin Tianming has made a name for himself in Yuyao City, becoming renowned among many recruiters and landing the top spot. He truly is a role model for our peers!"

Hearing these complimentary words, the distracted Lin Xingpu finally snapped back to reality.

Listening to the familiar cultivators around him speak words of congratulations and envy, he smiled, his face beaming with pride.

Soon, he regained his composure and replied politely, "You flatter me, fellow cultivators!"

"Today, I received good news that has greatly excited me. I must return home to share the joy, and I hope to invite you all to gather another day when the opportunity arises."

"Hehe... Lin, please feel free to go ahead!"

A Ninth Layer Qi Refining Loose Cultivator said politely with a cupped-hand salute.

Seeing this, Lin Xingpu did not linger and, after greeting a few familiar cultivators, hurriedly made his way to the Trading Quarter's Luoyun Pavilion.

Inside a secret room on the third floor of Luoyun Pavilion.

Lin Xingpu had just returned from the auction, his expression excited as he chatted with a few clan members stationed in Qianchuan Market.

Seeing him like this, it was apparent something positive had happened.

The oldest among them, Lin Xingyan, was quite puzzled. He looked at the mysterious Lin Xingpu and asked, "Xing Pu, did you come across some treasure on your trip out?"

"Hehe... indeed, it's a treasure, a heaven-shaking treasure!"

Lin Xingpu replied, laughing heartily, his excitement at its peak.

Seeing him still beating around the bush, Lin Xingyan's face darkened, and he scolded, "Stop the nonsense and spill it out, I'm still busy here!"

Seeing this, Lin Xingpu dared not delay and quickly recounted the details of the announcement he saw before the auction.

"Really?"

"Tian Ming is actually ranked fifth on the Demon Hunter Leaderboard and the first among all the recruited cultivators?"

The faces of Lin Xingyan and the others showed disbelief, clearly shocked by the explosive news.

Even though there had been rumors in Qianchuan Market about Lin Tianming ranking among the top ten on the leaderboard,

these rumors had been merely circulating among cultivators and had never been officially confirmed by the Zhenyang Sect.

Therefore, hearing this news, the group found it somewhat hard to believe at first.

However, at that moment, seeing the shocked expressions on his clan members' faces, Lin Xingpu emphatically stated, "It's true!"

"I just passed by the market after the auction and saw it with my own eyes, the Zhenyang Sect posted the announcement, and the details were very clear."

Hearing this and observing Lin Xingpu's earnest demeanor, the group finally accepted the truth of the matter.

"Haha... Tian Ming indeed does our family proud as a Hidden Dragon, outshining numerous Loose Cultivators and those from many clans!"

Lin Xingyan exclaimed excitedly at that moment.

As he finished speaking, Lin Xingzhao, equally thrilled, quickly agreed.

"Yes... I thought it was mere rumor, but who could have imagined it was true, and even beyond our expectations."

"Since it comes from the Zhenyang Sect, then there's no doubt about its authenticity!"

"This means that Tian Ming will soon return to the clan or Qianchuan Market!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingyan and the others nodded, sharing the same belief.

As they calmed down, Lin Xingyan, being the leader of the market, said to Lin Xingpu and the others, "The great battle in Yuyao City has concluded, and unless something unexpected happens, Tian Ming won't stay there for long. He will most likely return within the next six months!"

"However, the specific timing is still unknown."

"Now that the beast tide has mostly receded and safety is temporarily ensured, I suggest we send a clan member to deliver this good news back to the family, so that third uncle and the others can rejoice!"

No sooner had these words left his mouth than Lin Xingpu spoke up, "Indeed!"

"This is the perfect opportunity to replenish Luoyun Pavilion's stock of sale items!"

Lin Xingyan nodded upon hearing this and with an excited tone began to give orders.

"Good... Xing Pu, Xingzhao, you two will set out tomorrow morning. Make it a quick trip!"

"Hmm... that's settled then!"

Lin Xingpu and Lin Xingzhao both agreed to the plan, confirming the arrangement.
