Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Lin Shilu nodded, reminded everyone to be cautious and careful, and then left first.

As soon as Lin Shilu left, Lin Tianfeng began to talk non-stop, excitedly recounting the auction's events.

"Sixth brother, the auction at Qianchuan Market really can't be compared to that of Luoyun Market. The treasures that appeared were simply a feast for the eyes."

"Indeed, the Pozhang Pill, Yellow Grade Technique, and Foundation Establishment Pill also appeared. The cultivators were crazy enough, with each round of bidding driving prices higher than the last,"

Lin Tianhong chimed in.

Lin Tianming understood their astonishment very well, as it was also their first time attending the auction at Qianchuan Market.

When he first attended the Qianchuan Market auction, his reaction was almost the same—the plethora of items nearly dazzled his eyes.

"So, what treasures did you both manage to win?" Lin Tianming asked.

Still excited, Lin Tianhong hurriedly said:

"Big brother and I jointly won a complete demonic beast carcass. With Fifteenth Grandfather's help, we should be able to refine two decent Spiritual Artifacts."

"Besides that, we each won a Second Order Talisman to add some life-saving measures for ourselves."

Lin Tianming nodded and congratulated them.

Lin Tianfeng was not of low cultivation, and even though he had no special talents, his participation in the family's Monster Hunting Squad made his fortune quite substantial.

Lin Tianhong was a First Order Medium Grade Alchemist, and his alchemy had improved significantly, placing him at the forefront among his generation in the clan.

In their generation, whether in terms of cultivation or cultivation technique, they had already far surpassed the previous generations of their clan.

Thinking of this, he wore a face full of gratification.

"Big brother, second brother, now that the market assembly is over, what are your plans next?" Lin Tianming inquired.

After contemplating, Lin Tianfeng answered:

"This place isn't like the clan, otherwise I could still hunt demonic beasts. Now that's not possible, so I plan to occasionally help out at Luoyun Pavilion and spend the rest of the time in seclusion and cultivation. In three months, I'm due to replace Uncle Xing Li to take care of the shop."

After Lin Tianfeng finished speaking, Lin Tianhong shared his own plans.

"Fifteenth Grandfather has given us quite a few tasks. I'll be refining pills during the day and cultivating at night."

Lin Tianming nodded, fully approving of Lin Tianhong's arrangement.

"That's right, we all have our tasks to attend to, plus we need to cultivate, so there's hardly any time to idle away."

Afterward, the three of them chatted for a while before going their separate ways.

Lin Tianming returned to his room, sat at the edge of his bed, and pondered his upcoming cultivation schedule.

Having acquired the Flame Fruit from the auction, he naturally had to consume it as soon as possible to enhance his strength, and he also needed to study the notes given to him by Ye Pinghai, aiming to find suitable elixirs to assist in his cultivation at the earliest.

Moreover, the number of Spiritual Medicine Materials commissioned for pill refining at Luoyun Pavilion was still over a hundred and increasing daily.

Thinking about this, Lin Tianming felt quite a headache.

"Well, first I'll take the Flame Fruit to enhance the strength of my body and Divine Sense. Then, during the day, I'll refine the collected Spiritual Medicine Materials into elixirs. At night, I'll study the notes and cultivate."

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming began to regulate his state, aiming to reach his peak before consuming the Flame Fruit.

Unconsciously, he had been meditating and cultivating for half an hour.

At this moment, his state had reached its peak; feeling it was about right, he hurriedly took out the Flame Fruit and held it in his hand.

Feeling the cool touch of the Flame Fruit and looking at its blood-red flesh, it seemed very appetizing.

Without any hesitation, he swallowed the Flame Fruit in a single gulp.

The cool Flame Fruit, upon entering his mouth, immediately felt like he had eaten a mouthful of flame, nothing like the previously cool sensation.

Lin Tianming bore the pain and swallowed the fist-sized Flame Fruit.

As the Flame Fruit descended into his belly, a massive amount of heat spread out, intensifying the scorching sensation. Not only that, but his entire body, as well as his soul, felt as if they were being roasted by fire.

At this time, he felt as though he was being cut a thousand times; sweat poured out all over his body, quickly soaking his clothes.

Lin Tianming gritted through the pain as he furiously circulated his cultivation technique, refining the energy released by the Flame Fruit into a gentle force, which he then used to pound every part of his body.

Unbeknownst to him, another hour quickly passed by.

The intense heat of the Flame Fruit seemed to gradually subside, but he couldn't tell if he had simply grown numb or if it genuinely wasn't scalding anymore.

Lin Tianming remained unmoved, his furrowed brow indicating his determination as a unique energy continued to hammer his internal organs.

Time hurried away, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had gone by.

In the training room, Lin Tianming opened his eyes, revealing a faint smile.

He extended his divine sense to examine the meridians and internal organs throughout his body.

After the vigorous tempering by the Flame Fruit's power, the color of his organs had deepened, with hints of gold now appearing in certain areas.

Not only that, but his meridians had expanded slightly, his skin and bones had strengthened, and even his divine sense had marginally increased.

At that moment, he felt his body brimming with strength, as if he would never run out of it and could not feel fatigue at all.

"Huff, huff..."

Exhaling several breaths of turbid air, Lin Tianming returned his focus and realized his clothes were soiled with impurities that had seeped from his body.

He got up to stretch his limbs, then with a single-hand seal, cast a water-based magic spell to wash away the dirt from his body, followed by using a fire-based spell to dry off.

He changed into a clean set of clothes and tidied up the cluttered room.

Sitting on the ground, he took out the note gifted by Ye Pinghai and placed it before him.

He explored the ancient jade slip given by the old man with his divine sense, perusing the contents it held.

An hour later, Lin Tianming withdrew his divine sense and fell into deep thought.

Through his comprehension, the Third Order Alchemy Master's note revealed to be left by someone called Lingfeng, a Golden Elixir expert from tens of thousands of years ago.

This person was a Golden Core Cultivator in life, a Third Order Medium Grade Alchemist, and an alchemy fanatic who immersed himself in the Alchemy Dao. He was obsessed with creating and improving pill formulas. Although he didn't invent any high-order formulas, he did achieve some success in improving existing ones.

The note specifically detailed his insights and methods for improving the Dragon Bone Pill, but it was uncertain whether they would be successful or not.

According to Lingfeng's records, the primary material for refining the Dragon Bone Pill was the inner core of an Azure Dragon Jiao, a creature that was already scarce tens of thousands of years ago and even rarer in the cultivation world of today.

He believed that the Azure Dragon Jiao, being a fire-attribute spirit beast with a trace of true dragon bloodline—albeit extremely diluted—was undoubtedly unique. However, there was another demonic beast in the cultivation world called Qingxu Jiao, which greatly resembled the Azure Dragon Jiao.

Not only were they both of the fire attribute, but their divine abilities were also very similar, and so were their habits and appearances.

He speculated that tens of thousands of years ago, both species might have evolved from the same lineage.

Thus, given how rare the Azure Dragon Jiao was, the relatively more common Qingxu Jiao might serve as a substitute.

Lingfeng's views and conjectures seemed to have some merit.

Stowing the note into his storage bag, Lin Tianming pondered deeply.

Currently, he didn't have any better solutions. His cultivation had been consolidating for over a year, relying entirely on meditative practice, with the breakthrough to the second layer of Foundation Establishment seeming infinitely far away.

Under these circumstances, regardless of whether Lingfeng's speculated method was viable, he had to attempt it, as he didn't have time to seek alternative solutions.

However, he was presently too preoccupied; since Luoyun Pavilion's opening, especially in the few days before the auction, there were tens of commissions for refining spiritual medicine materials every day. Though the flow of people to the market had significantly diminished thereafter, resulting in a sharp decrease in cultivators requesting alchemy services, the accumulation of half a month had left him with more than three hundred batches of spiritual medicine materials awaiting refinement.

With Lin Tianhong's speed of alchemy, who knows how long it would take to complete the refinement. Besides, he also needed to practice cultivation and couldn't refine continuously day and night.

Before he addressed the matter of the pill formula, it was necessary to refine as much of the commissioned elixirs as possible, to maintain Luoyun Pavilion's credibility.

Lin Tianming now slightly regretted his boastful claim from the past that had led to such strenuous work. No one expected so many cultivators to request alchemy services. Nevertheless, having given his word, he needed to do his best. Otherwise, Luoyun Pavilion wouldn't be able to establish a foothold in the market.

Upon further thought, considering he could earn a substantial amount of spirit stones, he didn't find it too taxing.

Regaining his focus, Lin Tianming left the room and headed to the Pill Refining Room.

Entering the Pill Refining Room, he took a brief moment to adjust his breathing, waiting until he was in optimal condition before starting the alchemy process.

He brought out the Four Symbols Furnace, casting numerous spells upon the pill furnace and the earth fire beneath it.

After making all the preparations and following a well-versed routine, he proceeded to separate and purify the spiritual medicine materials one by one, until finally solidifying the pill successfully.
