Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Nine months had passed, and they had encountered very few cultivators; in total, only a handful of people.

As such, it revealed that the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm was vast in size, and there were not many individuals venturing alone; the members of the three Great Sects must have already gathered together to act.

Their large group had been without news for several months, which most likely meant they had gone to those well-known old places to search for treasure sites that had been explored by their predecessors.

Or, they might be following the clues left by their forebears to search for possible treasures.

Such a course of action was not surprising; instead, it was to be expected.

However, this had nothing to do with them as loose cultivators; without information and not enough manpower, they could only wander around aimlessly like headless flies.

With luck, they might find some decent treasures; with bad luck, they could end up in the jaws of demonic beasts.

Understanding this, Hu Yuan could only helplessly give a wry smile, then asked, "What does Lin think? What are your plans?"

After speaking, Hu Yuan's gaze turned to Lin Tianming, somewhat expecting his plan.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming began to explain with a smile.

"Heh heh... Our remaining time is getting shorter and shorter, and in a secret realm operated by the three Great Sects for thousands of years, we won't find Third Order Treasures without taking some risks."

"After careful consideration, I've decided to be more aggressive. As long as we don't run into Third Order Demon Beasts, we should give it a try!"

"Would Daoist Hu be willing to cooperate with me once more?"

After listening to Lin Tianming's explanation, Hu Yuan pondered carefully and realized that Lin Tianming's reasoning made sense.

The three Great Sects had controlled the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm for thousands of years and had explored it at least a dozen times. The locations where Third Order Treasures appeared were probably mostly known, and undiscovered good places were extremely limited.

Under such circumstances, searching for treasures in a lawful manner was almost impossible to yield anything valuable.

With time running out, maintaining the same conservative approach as before would indeed likely end in failure.

As a loose cultivator who had reached the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, he wasn't far from the Great Perfection Realm.

Cultivation had not been easy over the years, and now he was over a hundred years old. Gaining access to this entry into the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm was hard-won. Missing this opportunity, he had no idea when the next one would arise.

In that sense, he couldn't afford to delay.

It could be said that he was in more of a hurry than anyone else and had a greater need for Nascent Soul Spiritual Items.

Thinking of this, Hu Yuan made up his mind almost without hesitation and decided to take a gamble with Lin Tianming.

With his mind made up, Hu Yuan spoke with a grave expression, "Since Lin is so resolute, I can't afford to delay. Since Lin is all in, naturally, there's no reason for me to retreat."

Hearing these words, Lin Tianming laughed heartily.

"Haha... Since that's the case, we needn't hide or keep a low profile."

"In my opinion, we can even charge recklessly, deliberately attracting the appearance of demonic beasts. As long as they are not Third Order Spiritual Beasts or demonic beast tribes with overly powerful Second Order beasts, we should explore their lairs."

Hearing Lin Tianming's words and seeing his confident expression, Hu Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of bold enthusiasm in his heart.

"Then I'm all in too, risking my life to try it out with Lin!"

Hu Yuan's expression was excited, and he seemed to be influenced by Lin Tianming's spirit, becoming a bit crazy.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming nodded, and after a brief chat to confirm a direction, they quickly left the place.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Since they had changed their strategy, the two of them had been traveling with a great deal of pomp, swaggering through dense forests and valleys as if they were afraid that the demonic beasts would not be aware of their whereabouts.

With such tactics, in the past half a month, they had lightly taken on the challenge and explored many places. It was indeed an uninterrupted series of troubles, encountering not a few demonic beasts along the way.

However, the majority of these demonic beasts were not very powerful, and after some encounters, they casually killed a few Second Order beasts and left with some Second Order Treasures.

Until today, somewhere in the Tianfeng Secret Realm, above a vast lake, the figures of Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan appeared.

At this moment, earth-shattering noises filled the air, with colorful orbs of light streaking across the void, indicating that a fierce battle was underway.

Looking over, Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan stood shoulder to shoulder, their magic artifacts constantly unleashing large amounts of sword Qi, bombarding the lake below them in a relentless assault.

Their expressions were filled with excitement, and they struck with exceptional ferocity, clearly meaning business.

Beneath them, two Cold Ice Crocodiles opened their massive jaws in the water, shooting out numerous ice spikes towards Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan.

Both of these Cold Ice Crocodiles were at the Second Order Late Phase, their aura incredibly powerful. Although they had not broken through to the Third Order, they were considered among the top-tier Second Order Demonic Beasts they had encountered.

It was evident that these two Cold Ice Crocodiles were very close to reaching the Third Order, and with the consumption of some quality treasures, they might be able to make the breakthrough in not too much time.

As Lin Tianming passed by this place, his conspicuous movements did not go unnoticed and, unsurprisingly, attracted an attack.

Fortunately, the two were always prepared for sudden incidents, and with Lin Tianming having a premonition, they were not successfully ambushed by the Cold Ice Crocodiles.

Hu Yuan, having narrowly escaped a calamity, wore an angry complexion and burst forth with an attack, wanting to retaliate against the Cold Ice Crocodiles that had ambushed them.

Lin Tianming likewise joined the fray, and after a round of intense fight, seeing the true face of the Cold Ice Crocodiles, both their expressions turned grave.

The two Cold Ice Crocodiles were male and female, belonging to semi-solitary demon beasts, typically appearing in pairs.

Although not abundant in number, their overall strength was no less than that of the Purple Gold Eagle Clan or the Flaming Beast Clan.

In fact, they were much stronger.

Facing such tough opponents, the two had originally planned to leave.

However, Lin Tianming used the wondrous abilities of his Eye of Five Colors to peer through the darkened waters and spot something at the bottom of the lake that he had been desperately seeking.

It was a Creation Fruit Tree!

The Creation Fruit Tree was a Water Attribute Third Order fruit tree that bore fruit only once every five hundred years, and each time, it would yield only three fruits.

The value of the Fruit of Fortuity was exorbitantly high; it was a treasure that could aid in Core Formation, and it was nearly as beneficial as the Star Moon Fruit he had obtained in the Xuan Yue Mysterious Realm, similarly increasing the chances of breaking through to the Golden Core Stage by thirty percent.

Such a treasure was deemed invaluable in the current Cultivation World.

And Lin Tianming's luck was excellent; the Creation Fruit Tree he discovered was just about to ripen.

He estimated that if things went smoothly, the Creation Fruit Tree might be able to mature completely within a month.

Seeing this object was precisely what he had longed for day and night.

If he got the Fruit of Fortuity, with his strength, he would be able to obtain at least two fruits, and including the Creation Fruit Tree itself, he could also bring it back to his family.

If he succeeded, the chances of both Lin Shilu and his breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage would increase significantly, and he could attempt to reach the Golden Core Stage within ten years.

Moreover, if the Creation Fruit Tree was transplanted into the Clan Spiritual Herb Garden, after five hundred years, the Lin Family would harvest three more Fruits of Fortuity.

It can be said that the role and significance of this Creation Fruit Tree were also immense.

At this moment, Lin Tianming, understanding this, felt no hesitation despite sensing the formidable strength of the Cold Ice Crocodiles and the enormous pressure they brought. He decided to go all out.

He was clear in his mind that this object was extremely important for him and for the entire Lin Family; they must acquire the Fruit of Fortuity at all costs.

Even if it meant revealing all his strength, it was worth the risk.

Moreover, the maturation time of the Fruit of Fortuity did not conflict with the end of the Tianfeng Secret Realm; there was even some spare time to pursue other treasures.

Thus, the emergence of the Creation Fruit Tree was like a godsend opportunity, compelling him to make his move.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming instantly unleashed a barrage of attacks, bombarding the Cold Ice Crocodiles below.
