Chapter 330: Qin Xi's Meeting Gift_1
A tea time had passed.
In the master peak of Golden Horn Mountain, within a certain cave abode.
Lin Tianming and several clan members sat opposite each other, having received the news of Lin Tianming's return, Lin Xingrong, who was presiding over this place, along with Lin Xingzhi had all left seclusion to gather together.
The mood of the clanspeople who had returned to Golden Horn Mountain was extremely good, and with the expectation of Lin Xingrong and others, the atmosphere became very lively.
Especially Lin Xingrong, having learned of Lin Tianming and Qin Xi's idea of becoming dao companions, seemed quite excited, the usually cold expression on his face also became exceptionally bright.
In face of his future daughter-in-law Qin Xi, Lin Xingrong could be said to have undergone a complete change in temperament, the once harsh and rigid demeanor also became friendly and approachable.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming felt quite surprised in his heart.
Although he knew his father was stern on the outside but warm on the inside, it now appeared that Lin Xingrong's rigid demands were only directed at him alone.
When it came to his younger sister Lin Tianyue, the treatment was not nearly as strict.
As for Qin Xi, looking at the current situation, there was a strong contrast with how he was treated.
Under these circumstances, he also gained some new understanding of his father.
After the jovial greetings had ended, the Qi Refinement Realm clanspeople bid farewell and left to rest.
At this time, only Lin Tianming and Qin Xi were left in the small courtyard, along with Lin Xingrong and Lin Xingzhi of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Then, with a calm demeanor, Lin Xingrong finally brought up serious matters.
Like the other clan members in Qianchuan Market, he first asked about Lin Tianming's experience in Yuyao City.
Lin Tianming did not hold back much, just as he did in Qianchuan Market, except for the Xu Haiqiao incident, he shared all the information he could.
Quickly, having learned the basic situation, Lin Xingrong and Lin Xingzhi were greatly relieved.
However, upon hearing the news Lin Tianming had gathered from the Sky Dragon Pavilion, the two of them couldn't help but furrow their brows, their faces becoming somber.
At this time, Lin Xingrong let out a sigh, and said helplessly,
"Tian Ming, I'm afraid it won't be long before this matter causes a huge uproar in Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World, after all, it involves the annihilation of a Foundation Establishing family, and Zhenyang Sect has also mysteriously lost a Third Order Spiritual Beast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xingzhi chimed in.
"Indeed... If the disappearance of the Third Order Spiritual Beast from Zhenyang Sect is the work of the murderers behind the Xu Family, then I fear the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World may not be peaceful in the coming years."
Lin Tianming actually agreed with Lin Xingzhi's remarks.
In his heart, he too had made many speculations about this.
Although the Blood Red Alliance was powerful, they still acted stealthily within Wei Kingdom, obviously being cautious not to alert everyone to their presence.
Otherwise, with the strength and style of the Blood Red Alliance, what would Zhenyang Sect count for? With just a single Nascent Soul Cultivator, they could easily annihilate them.
Yet the Blood Red Alliance only sent a Golden Core Cultivator and some Foundation Establishment Cultivators to Wei Kingdom, also planning to act low-profile, secretly tracking the treasure, perhaps without any major conflict of interest with Zhenyang Sect.
However, contrary to their expectations, the item they were tirelessly seeking mysteriously ended up in his possession.
Besides that, right after the end of Zhenyang Sect's great battle, the Third Order Tyrant Spirit Ape disappeared, coincidentally at the same time as the Xu Family's annihilation.
Such a coincidence struck everyone as unbelievable.
As a result, the disappearance of the Spiritual Beast, whether it was the work of the Blood Red Alliance or not, was probably going to be unclear.
Under such circumstances, it seemed Zhenyang Sect had suffered a loss in vain and, given the powerful strength of the Blood Red Alliance, they had to let the matter go, begrudgingly.
And being inadvertently involved in the Xu Haiqiao incident, this matter was very dangerous; if the news leaked and the Blood Red Alliance became aware, the entire Lin Family might also be in danger.
Fortunately, the disappearance of Zhenyang Sect's Third Order Spiritual Beast muddled the waters a bit.
Moreover, by sending Foundation Establishment Cultivators to investigate, Zhenyang Sect has indirectly put some pressure on the Golden Core Cultivator of the Blood Red Alliance.
If the Blood Red Alliance didn't want the issue to escalate, they might temporarily drop the investigation, allowing him some time.
As long as he broke through to the Golden Core Realm, perhaps the issue could be easily resolved.
Otherwise, if the Blood Red Alliance did investigate thoroughly at all costs, the probability of his exposure might grow larger and larger.
Therefore, the pressure on him was still substantial, and the Lin Family must have family members strive for breakthroughs to the Golden Core Stage to enhance the overall strength of the Lin Family, so as to deal with this potential crisis.
In the past two years, following the end of the beast tide war, all forces in Wei Kingdom, big and small, were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow; they became more cautious at any sign of disturbance.
Such conditions were precisely what he needed to buy time, which was good news for him.
Thinking of these things, the weight on his heart finally eased a bit, and he felt much more relaxed.
Regaining his composure, Lin Tianming spoke a few comforting words to alleviate the concerns of Lin Xingrong and the others.
Afterward, Lin Tianming and the others chatted for a while and decided to continue their journey back to the clan lands the next day. Then, everyone dispersed.
Before leaving, Lin Tianming took out a Spirit Ginseng Fruit he had purchased from the Sky Dragon Pavilion and handed it to Lin Xingrong.
These Spirit Fruits were specifically bought as gifts for his parents and sister.
Initially, Lin Xingrong was hesitant to accept it until Qin Xi mentioned that he had come into a windfall, only then did he accept the gift.
It happened that his cultivation had also reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Fourth Level, and with this Spirit Ginseng Fruit, perhaps he could break through the realm in one fell swoop.
Once he made the breakthrough, he would become the fourth member of the Lin Family to reach above the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment.
