Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

An hour had just passed.

After everyone had taken a preliminary look, Lin Shihua then put away the numerous treasures.

Afterward, a few of them chatted casually amongst themselves, discussing numerous clan affairs, as well as the details of Lin Tianming's upcoming marriage.

Only when the night grew deep did everyone disperse.

...

The next morning.

As the sun rose from the east, warm rays of sunlight, from a sky clear as a mirror, shined down upon the earth.

In the sky above a valley behind the peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, a Purple Gold Eagle was circling among the layers of mountains.

Standing side by side on the back of the Purple Gold Eagle, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi held hands tightly, admiring the beautiful scene before them.

Looking down, the gorge below had an odd and fantastic shape, with streams winding their way through and a blanket of blooming flowers all around, a veritable Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.

At that moment, as Qin Xi's beautiful eyes took in the scenery below, she reminisced about her first encounter with Lin Tianming's mother and sister the day before, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush with color.

This short span of less than a day had brought her an unprecedented sense of family.

With these thoughts, when Qin Xi looked at Lin Tianming again, her eyes conveyed a special kind of emotion.

Seeing the enchantment in Qin Xi's eyes, Lin Tianming found it breathtaking and irresistible, his heart rippled with emotion.

Finally steadying himself, he turned his gaze and then mustered the courage to call out, "Xi'er!"

"Hmm...?"

Qin Xi turned her head, her large eyes fixed on Lin Tianming. Seeing his flushed expression, she seemed to have guessed what was on his mind.

"Ming, what happened?"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Xi'er, because of the clan elders, and because I need to enter closed-door cultivation to break through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level to prepare for entering the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm..."

"So, the clan elders intend to arrange our marriage ceremony in two days! What do you think?"

Hearing this, Qin Xi's face turned crimson. Although she had been prepared ever since she followed Lin Tianming to Green Bamboo Mountain, she had not expected it to happen so soon.

She looked at Lin Tianming's sharply defined face, radiating with the vigor of manhood.

Then, with a sigh, she spoke, "Ming, I have no objections regarding when to marry."

"However, I've been harboring a deep hatred in my heart!"

"I want to tell you about it before we marry. If you still insist on marrying me, then you must join me in avenging my deceased grandfather!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming didn't seem surprised.

In actuality, he had long sensed that Qin Xi had something troubling her, but since she didn't speak up, he didn't feel it was right to delve into it, lest he reopen her wounds.

Now that Qin Xi had brought it up herself, he naturally wouldn't oppose.

Coming to his senses, Lin Tianming revealed an affectionate look, gently patted Qin Xi's shoulder, and began to speak,

"Xi'er, no matter what it is, no matter who the opposite side is, I will always stand behind you, your strongest support!"

Hearing this, and seeing Lin Tianming's utterly sincere and resolute gaze, a warm current surged through Qin Xi's heart.

"Ming, do you still remember the first time we met in Luoyun Market?" Qin Xi asked.

"Remember, of course, I remember!"

"Back then you were just a girl with youthful charm, helping your grandfather sell Spiritual Medicine at a stall, only to exchange for a few elixirs for cultivation!" Lin Tianming said, his eyes full of memories.

"Exactly!"

Qin Xi awoke from her recollection and then talked about their first meeting and the experiences that had occurred since then.

"That was our first encounter, and in the following years, grandfather and I moved around Luoyun Mountain Range and Hengyang Mountain Range, killing Demonic Beasts and cultivating. My cultivation grew rapidly."

"Years later, I reached the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement. During one ordeal, I was seriously injured, nearly perishing."

"To buy elixirs for me, my grandfather had to auction off some Spiritual Medicine in Hengyang Market. But we caught the attention of disciples from the Chen Clan, who followed grandfather after he left the market."

"By the time I regained consciousness, with my injuries gradually healing, several days had passed without grandfather's return."

"Worried, I forced myself to go out and investigate despite my injuries, and ultimately traced it back to the Chen Clan."

"As for those members of the Chen Clan, all were slain by me, but this alarmed the Chen Clan Leader, who then sent several late-stage Qi Refining members after me."

"Thus, I was gravely wounded and forced to flee!"

"However, for over a decade, I disguised myself and stayed near the Hengyang Mountain Range, quietly eliminating many cultivators from the Chen Clan."

"During that time, I suffered injuries multiple times, but, luckily, I managed to escape death each time."

"So it went—I cultivated and sought revenge until the outbreak of the beast tide, and by chance, I was besieged by several Yinming Beasts. At the brink of death, I met you."

"As for the past three years, you already know, so there's no need for me to elaborate!"

Qin Xi spoke at length about nearly two decades' worth of events, her enmity with the Chen Clan explained clearly.

As she relieved the burden that had long weighed on her heart, Qin Xi felt a sense of release, her whole being much lighter.

Yet she was also hopeful and a bit nervous, afraid that Lin Tianming would be wary of the Chen Clan's strength and give up being with her.

At that moment, hearing Qin Xi's explanation, Lin Tianming held her hand tightly and pulled her into his embrace, then gently soothed her.
