Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

That way, he wouldn't be joking with his own life.

With these thoughts, Lin Tianming instantly made up his mind, decided to explain the specifics of the Creation Fruit Tree to Hu Yuan, and invited him to join the battle against the Cold Ice Crocodiles.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming took advantage of a brief lull, turned to Hu Yuan and said, "Daoist Hu, there is a treasure at the bottom of this lake!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Yuan's expression changed sharply, he released his Divine Sense in full, carefully probing the lakebed beneath them.

Within a few breaths, Hu Yuan's face had calmed down, and with a look of confusion, he asked, "A treasure? What treasure?"

"The water in this lake is pitch black, clearly there is nothing, Lin, could it be that you are mistaken?"

As expected, Hu Yuan's Divine Sense was limited and simply could not penetrate the dark and deep lake water, let alone see the Creation Fruit Tree at the lake bottom.

Hu Yuan's reaction was completely within Lin Tianming's expectations.

Seeing his puzzled look, Lin Tianming spoke with a smile, "Daoist Hu, please be patient. Since I've said that there is a treasure, I naturally wouldn't deceive you!"

"Furthermore, the treasure I speak of is immensely valuable. It cannot be compared to those items we encountered earlier."

Lin Tianming's words made Hu Yuan feel even more anxious.

Considering Lin Tianming's excellent reputation, the likelihood that he was telling the truth was high.

Thinking of the treasure being worth a fortune, Hu Yuan was immediately thrilled, his entire demeanor one of urgency.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Tianming didn't beat around the bush anymore and quickly started to explain.

"Daoist Hu, at the bottom of the lake are the very items we are looking for, and there is more than one of them!"

"I am determined to get my hands on them. Even if the Cold Ice Crocodile is powerful, we must still try our best."

After speaking, Lin Tianming didn't wait to see Hu Yuan's expression or reaction and quickly changed the topic.

"Heh heh... However, Daoist Hu, the day when the Secret Realm closes is approaching. If we miss these items, it will be difficult to come across them again in the remaining time."

"So, I wonder if Daoist Hu would be interested in taking a risk with me this time?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yuan took only a moment to consider and felt that what Lin Tianming said made sense.

After all, time was of the essence. Since Lin Tianming was so serious, indicating his determination, the item was definitely extraordinary.

With Lin Tianming's strength and perspective, even though he did not specify what the treasure at the bottom of the lake was, the fact that he was so cautious indicated that this was no ordinary object.

Based on the information Lin Tianming had given and his reaction, it was very likely that the treasure at the bottom was an item that aided Core Formation.

If it indeed was such an item, even if it only increased the chances of breakthrough by ten or twenty percent, it was worth taking the risk, no matter the danger.

With these thoughts, Hu Yuan was overjoyed, and he made up his mind to take the risk.

Resolved, Hu Yuan laughed heartily and asked, "Is what Lin has said true?"

"True!"

Before he finished, Lin Tianming replied resolutely, his expression extremely serious.

Seeing this, Hu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then spoke, "Since Lin holds me in such high regard, I too shall express my stance!"

"If it is indeed an item that aids Core Formation, I swear upon my Heart Demon that I shall take only one, and the rest shall belong to Lin!"

"In addition, I will keep this matter strictly confidential, never revealing a single word to others. Should I break this oath, may my path in cultivation not advance an inch in this lifetime."

In Lin Tianming's view, Hu Yuan was tactful, seemingly aware of Lin's concerns, and voluntarily took an oath on his own path of cultivation.

This act dispelled Lin Tianming's last bit of worry.

From this, and also considering their past cooperation, Lin Tianming felt reassured that he hadn't misjudged him. Hu Yuan was indeed trustworthy and worth building a deeper relationship with.

With both parties reaching a consensus, joining forces to confront the two powerful Cold Ice Crocodiles became the urgent matter at hand.

And at the moment they came to an agreement, the attack of the two Cold Ice Crocodiles arrived as expected.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." A series of urgent whizzing sounds arose.

Looking ahead, a great number of ice pillars were erupting from the lake beneath them. Each pillar carried a terrifying chill and, upon appearing, even the moisture in the air condensed into mist.

The numerous ice pillars, hidden in the thick mist, shot towards them at an incredibly fast speed, as quick as lightning.

Having experienced the power of these ice pillars, Lin Tianming and his companion did not dare to take it lightly.

The two of them moved back and forth, one in front and one behind. While dodging the ice pillars, they unleashed a barrage of attacks toward the oncoming pillars.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The world burst into roars again as the sword Qi they casually stimulated only resisted for a brief moment before being shattered by the vast number of ice pillars.

Immediately afterwards, the ice pillars continued to soar upwards, bombarding the two of them relentlessly.

Lin Tianming and his companion had anticipated this, knowing that their initial attack was not strong and was just to buy time for them to avoid the ice pillars.

Taking advantage of the momentary delay caused to the ice pillars, they had already flown nearly a hundred yards away, escaping the densest area of the ice pillar assault.

Just as they stabilized their figures, Lin Tianming shouted loudly at Hu Yuan beside him, "Daoist Hu, you must delay a Cold Ice Crocodile for as long as possible, the longer the better."

"I will swiftly kill another Cold Ice Crocodile, then join you to encircle and suppress the next one!"

"Alright, Lin, you go ahead and make your move, I absolutely will not let the one on the left disturb you for at least half a moment!"

After Hu Yuan replied loudly, he leaped forward, releasing a large number of Second Order talismans from his hands.

At the same time, his magic artifact flashed with a dazzling light, and a surge of powerful sword Qi flew past overhead, shooting towards a Cold Ice Crocodile to the left.

Upon seeing Hu Yuan's action, which was mighty and obviously several times stronger than the power he had shown in previous fights, it was clear that in face of the more powerful attack of the Cold Ice Crocodile, Hu Yuan began to reveal his true strength, no longer holding back.

Observing this, Lin Tianming nodded in satisfaction, and then didn't delay any further.

While Hu Yuan was entangled in battle with a Cold Ice Crocodile on the left, Lin Tianming also began his storm-like assault.

At that moment, he tapped his Spirit Beast Bag, and in a flash of light, the Bloodthirsty Jiao and the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox appeared, one on his left and one on his right.

This battle would not be easy, and Lin Tianming valued it tremendously. He directly released his most reliable combatants, the Bloodthirsty Jiao and the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox.

As for Xiao Diao, he did not intend to summon it to assist.

After all, Xiao Diao had just swallowed two complete Purple Gold Eagle carcasses and should be in a state of deep slumber, refining the Bloodline Power of the Gold-winged Roc.

Moreover, with Xiao Diao's current strength, the help it could offer was extremely limited, and it was not in its best combat state.

Thus, he only summoned the Bloodthirsty Jiao and the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox. Although the strength of the Bloodthirsty Jiao did not match that of the Cold Ice Crocodile, which was very close to Third Order, it could nevertheless provide some assistance.

The Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox was also at the Second Order Late Phase. After half a year of recuperation, its previous injuries had healed, and it was in peak condition.

With the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox's elusive Divine Skills, it might play a special role at a critical moment.

In fact, this was the first time Lin Tianming had released his two strongest spirit beasts at the same time, with the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox making its first appearance.

True to expectations, the moment the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox appeared, Hu Yuan, who was not far away fighting, sensed it and recognized the origin of the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox.

"It's actually a Second Order Late Phase Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox!"

At that time, Hu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

He looked over with a complex expression, appearing both surprised and rather wary.

As for Hu Yuan's expression, Lin Tianming somewhat anticipated it.

He was well aware that such a special creature like the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox was even rarer than flying creatures like the Purple Gold Eagle, and moreover, it was a presence of Second Order Late Phase.

Such a formidable Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox was an uncommon sight, and its enigmatic Divine Skills were enough to make any Foundation Establishment Cultivator wary.

However, at this moment, Lin Tianming had no mind to concern himself with these matters, nor did he have time to pay attention to Hu Yuan's surprise.
