Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

```

He came here to see if there was any news of the Qingxu Jiao, after all, this beast was not found everywhere, and it wasn't easy to find one. If there was ready information, he wouldn't have to blindly search for it.

It was because of this task board that many cultivators looking for specific spiritual objects could save a lot of trouble, which was why this place was very popular among loose cultivators.

He entered the second floor of the Market City Hall and looked at a huge light screen in the hall, which displayed thousands of text-recorded tasks.

"Looking for traces of the Variegated Beast, commission one hundred spirit stones, complete demonic beast carcases are also accepted for direct exchange..."

"Searching for traces of the Purple Ratan Flower, commission eighty spirit stones, those who have this item can trade directly..."

"Forming a team to go to the Qianchuan Mountain Range for cultivation experience, five people in total, requires at least Seventh Level of Qi Refinement..."

"Track and kill the evil cultivator Gu Tong, those who claim his life will be rewarded ten thousand spirit stones..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Ten thousand spirit stone reward?"

Seeing this, Lin Tianming couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

According to the information recorded on the light screen, this evil cultivator Gu Tong was a loose cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level, who for some reason, had killed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Meng Family years ago, completely infuriating the family, which then spent a huge amount of money to issue the bounty for his apprehension.

This Gu Tong was cunning by nature, had no attachments, and lived a nomadic life. Coupled with his formidable strength, although the Meng Family was powerful and had as many as seven members at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was not easy to locate him within the vast Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World.

Understanding the reason, Lin Tianming realized this was the case but had no interest; with his own cultivation at the Foundation Establishment First Level, seeking out such a vicious individual was clearly asking for trouble.

Lin Tianming put the matter aside and continued to look through the tasks.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and he had rapidly reviewed over a hundred tasks; most were looking for spiritual medicine materials or demonic beasts, with a few dangerous missions like hunting evil cultivators. The rewards also varied, ranging from fifteen spirit stones to several thousand spirit stones.

After reviewing many tasks, he decided to also post one looking for the Qingxu Jiao by assembling a large number of experienced people to help him search, which would save a lot of time.

Resolved, he approached the area where tasks were posted and started chatting with a Zhenyang Sect Disciple at the Qi Refining Eighth Level.

Lin Tianming was not well-known in the market, but many Zhenyang Sect Disciples had still heard of him, especially since he had made several public appearances in the market lately and had been seen with Li Xiuyuan and Ye Pinghai a few times.

Seeing him personally coming to post a task, the Executive Officer who was serving him was very polite and subsequently explained to him the process of posting tasks.

"Elder Lin, posting a task in the market requires five spirit stones and a deposit of one hundred spirit stones; when the task is completed, the remainder of the commission is paid," the officer said.

"I'd like to post a task for searching for the Qingxu Jiao, the commission is only needed for providing the trail of this beast, how much would be appropriate?" Lin Tianming asked.

After considering, the receptionist answered:

"The Qingxu Jiao is a Second Order Demonic Beast. Those who can discover its trail must have at least the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage, otherwise, they may not be able to make it out alive. In my humble opinion, a reward of at least several hundred spirit stones is needed to entice someone to take such a risk!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming felt it made sense and then said:

"Then let's set a commission of eight hundred spirit stones. As long as the information is accurate, anyone can claim the commission."

After finishing his statement, Lin Tianming took out a hundred and five spirit stones and handed them to the receptionist.

The receptionist took the spirit stones, recorded the transaction, and after leaving a way for him to be messaged, he took his leave.

Soon, through the execution of the officer, his task also appeared on the light screen for task posting.

"Looking for traces of Qingxu Jiao, anyone providing information, as long as it's accurate and true, can claim eight hundred spirit stones, within a three-month period..."

Lin Tianming looked at the task he had posted and was satisfied; after a brief pause, he returned to his cave dwelling, he only needed to wait for the news now.

Several days later, Lin Shilu emerged from meditation, which had lasted for over a month, and the two sat down to drink tea and chat in the small courtyard.

"Fifteenth Grandfather, the hand scroll you gave has been fully comprehended, and the methods recorded in it may be feasible," Lin Tianming said.

"Oh? If it really works, then our family will have another Second Order Pill Recipe!" Lin Shilu said, somewhat excited.

Lin Tianming took a sip from his teacup and then started talking about his plans.

"However, according to the hand scroll, the substitute for the main drug in the Dragon Bone Pill is the Qingxu Jiao Inner Pill. This beast is not easy to find, I have already posted a task in the market. If its trail can be found, I must trouble you, elder, to join me in hunting a few demonic beasts!"

"Hmm... Good, you didn't get carried away and knew to measure your abilities!"

```

Lin Shilu nodded in praise and then said,

"I've been in closed-door cultivation recently to refine my magic artifact. The piece of Golden Blood Stone I got from the exchange meeting has been incorporated into my artifact. After re-sacrificing it, its power has significantly increased, which is perfect for accompanying you on your journey!"

"Then I must thank Fifteenth Grandfather in advance!" Lin Tianming was overjoyed and quickly rose to give a respectful bow.

Lin Shilu waved his hand dismissively and then began to instruct him earnestly,

"Hmm... as soon as you receive news of the Qingxu Jiao, send a message to me. Remember not to act alone, understand?"

"Yes..."

Lin Tianming respectfully responded. After chatting casually for a while, they each returned to their own cultivation rooms.

Sitting in the cultivation room, Lin Tianming performed a Grand Circulation.

After about a quarter of an hour, once his condition reached its peak, he took out a Second Order Lingshen Pill and began his cultivation with some difficulty.

If there was evidence of the Qingxu Jiao's whereabouts, he would have to leave Qianchuan Market. Before leaving, he wanted to improve his cultivation as much as possible. Despite the excruciating pain he was about to endure, he could not care less, as having even a sliver more of spiritual power meant additional safety.

As the elixir entered his mouth, intense pain followed immediately, with large beads of sweat falling from his forehead.

He did not dare to be careless, swallowing a Body Strengthening Pill and frantically running his cultivation technique, all the while enduring the agony to refine the medicinal power.

Over ten days slowly passed...

One day, a messaging aura entered his cultivation room, hovering in front of him.

He sent out his divine sense to check the message recorded by the Spiritual Light.

"There's a message!"

Lin Tianming was thrilled and immediately rose to leave the cave dwelling, rushing toward the Market City Hall.

After finding the executive officer who had received him, the two struck up a conversation.

The obsequious executive officer said,

"Elder Lin, you are in luck. It's only been just over ten days, and already a cultivator has happened upon the whereabouts of the Qingxu Jiao!"

"Oh? Bring me to see that cultivator at once!" Lin Tianming urged.

"Yes!"

Following the executive officer, he was led to a private room where he was to meet alone with the cultivator who provided the information.

Inside sat a middle-aged cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage, who quickly stood up to pay respects to Lin Tianming.

Lin Tianming gestured for him to sit and then spoke with a grave expression,

"It was you who found the trace of the Qingxu Jiao? Speak in detail, and remember not to attempt to deceive me. If I find out there is any falsehood, you will bear the consequences!"

At Lin Tianming's threatening words, the cultivator quickly assured him of his honesty and then relayed how he came across the Qingxu Jiao.

"Elder, half a year ago I was training in the Qianchuan Mountain Range, when by chance I stumbled into a ravine and happened to spot the trace of a Second Order Initial Stage Qingxu Jiao. Luckily, I was cautious enough to flee without looking back and managed to narrowly escape with my life."

As he spoke, his face went pale, displaying an appearance of lingering fear.

"After I returned to the market city, I learned of the task you had posted. But before I encountered the beast, I had no idea you were seeking the Qingxu Jiao, otherwise the news would not have come so swiftly."

Listening to the cultivator's explanation, Lin Tianming was skeptical, but he had no other options at the moment. Whether true or false, he needed to verify for himself.

With this in mind, Lin Tianming did not make things difficult for the man, promptly paid him a deposit of two hundred Spirit Stones, and promised to pay the rest upon confirmation of the accurate information.

After sending the man away, he had the executive officer withdraw his task.

After everything was settled, he returned to his cave dwelling to prepare with Lin Shilu before searching for the Qingxu Jiao.
