Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

"Yes, Sixth Brother!" Lin Tianhu also chimed in from the side.

"Recently, I've specifically visited some cultivators, indirectly inquiring about Sixth Brother's news, but alas, they too knew nothing, which worried everyone terribly!"

"Indeed, indeed... these days have really made us anxious..."

Hearing the family members' words of concern, a warm feeling surged through Lin Tianming's heart, deeply moved.

This is what family is about!

No matter where he went, what he did, or what his level of cultivation and strength might be, there would always be people genuinely worried about his safety.

With these thoughts, Lin Tianming bowed with his fists to the many clan members and began to speak about his own arrangements, but he did not mention anything about Xu Haiqiao's matter since it was extremely serious.

It wasn't that he didn't trust people like Lin Tianfeng.

The matter was simply too serious and also a hidden crisis, which he planned to disclose only to a few Shi clan members within the family.

As for the younger generation, including his own father, it was better not to reveal anything.

After all, the younger generation's power was limited; the more people knew, the greater the danger.

It was not long before everyone learned that he had been cultivating in Qianchuan Market for a while, and he had almost broken through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Level, causing many to involuntarily take a sharp intake of breath.

"Sixth Brother, just what kind of monster are you?"

At this moment, Lin Tianfeng said with a mix of laughter and tears, and then he began to mutter to himself.

"More than a decade ago, there wasn't much disparity between us Tian generation clan members, but after a few years of diligent cultivation, I was fortunate enough to barely break through to the Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment."

"I thought that after the breakthrough, I would narrow the gap between us, but who could have expected the disparity to grow even further!"

"It's truly... seemingly impossible to catch up!"

Upon hearing Lin Tianfeng's sighs, the Xing generation clan members' faces grew even more dejected.

You see, the talents and strengths of Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianhu, besides the monstrous Lin Tianming, lead among both the Xing and Tian generation clan members.

They had been practicing thirty or forty years earlier than Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianhu, yet they remained at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining or the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage.

If compared with Lin Tianming, the difference was like heaven and earth.

At that moment, seeing the expressions on many clan members' faces, Lin Tianming smiled and said, "My fellow clansmen, there's no need to be so disheartened!"

"Cultivation itself should follow one's heart, and doing our best is enough; this way, the reward is worth the effort. Otherwise, if one blindly pursues a higher realm, it may well backfire!"

As soon as these words fell, Lin Tianfeng spoke with a grave voice.

"What Sixth Brother says is true, not everyone is born with extraordinary talent!"

"Besides, talent can only decide the lower limit, not the upper limit. Sixth Brother's achievements today have come through numerous life-and-death crises over the years, as most of you have heard more or less."

"We may not be able to become the Lin Family's Stabilizing Sea Needle, but we can become the core backbone of the family, and in the future, we might return to being a Golden Core Aristocratic Family."

"Or even... even become the first Nascent Soul Family in the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World!"

Upon saying this, Lin Tianfeng's expression was resolute, his eyes revealing an indescribable confidence.

"A Nascent Soul Family?"

And upon hearing this, the clan members, inspired by his words, saw the confusion in their eyes give way to color, and they exuded renewed vigor.

Indeed!

Even if one could not become the most outstanding clansman, each member could still utilize their strengths and contribute their power to the family.

As long as the family has a goal and the best talents to lead, with these clan members contributing, why would the family not prosper?

A Golden Core Family was already within reach, and they might even become the first Nascent Soul Family in the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World in ten thousand years.

Although this path is difficult and the chance of success is incredibly slim.

But what of that?

It was not for them to consider; they simply needed to do their utmost, give their all for the Lin Family, and leave the rest to Heaven's Will.

Understanding this, the clan's morale soared, a stark contrast to the previously somber atmosphere.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming nodded in satisfaction and then inquired about the situation back at the family.

After all, having been away for nearly two years, he constantly worried about the family's affairs.

According to Lin Xingpu and Lin Tianfeng, the Lin Family had developed tremendously over the past two years, although the impact of the beast tide had prevented new clanspeople from entering the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But in these few years, the upper echelons of the family had been tempered by the demonic beasts, and with the family's various supportive policies, the cultivation strength of the members who had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage in the past decade did not cease, but instead leaped up one or two realms.

Among them, Lin Xingrong and Lin Xingping stepped into the Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment, with Lin Xingrong even reaching the peak of the Fourth Level, poised to enter the Fifth Level realm, becoming the highest cultivator among the Xing Clan Members.

The reason for such cultivation was thanks to the sponsorship by Lin Shikang and Lin Tianming, both alchemists.

Plus, as he was stationed in Golden Horn Mountain all year round and seldom delved into family affairs, he had ample time for cultivation, which is why he could become the forerunner among the Xing Clan Members.

Lin Tianfeng also stepped into the mid-stage of the Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment, and Lin Tianhu was notable as well. Although much younger than Lin Tianfeng, his cultivation had also just entered the Fourth Level Realm.

Such a rate of cultivation was not much slower than Lin Tianming in the same age group.

As for other clanspeople, like the Xing Clan Members—Lin Xingzhi, Lin Xingli, and Lin Xingyuan—all were at the Third Level of Foundation Establishment.

The Tian Clan Members were not weak in their cultivation either; among them, Lin Tianhong and Lin Tianyue had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, and other Foundation Establishment Cultivators were nearly all at the peak of the First Layer or within the Second Layer Realm.

Now, after years of covert development, the strength of the upper echelons of the Lin Family has almost seen a qualitative leap.

It could be said that the family's current overall strength could definitely rank in the top ten of the several hundred Foundation Establishing Families in the Wei Kingdom, even potentially in the top three.

As for the losses after the beast tide, despite the fall of nearly dozens of Qi Refining clanspeople, not many potential Foundation Establishment seeds were lost.

The fallen clanspeople were not highly skilled, and their talents were only average, which didn't substantially impact the overall strength or potential of the Lin Family, nor did it shake the foundation.

When it comes to Luoyun Market and Golden Horn Mountain, the losses were almost negligible, and it was believed that in less than two years, everything would return to its former glory.

Relieved by this news, Lin Tianming heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel gratified.

Immediately thereafter, he changed the topic and asked about the situation of Luoyun Pavilion.

At that point, Lin Xingpu took out an account book and handed it to Lin Tianming, indicating for him to take a look for himself.

Lin Tianming nodded, took the account book, and started to look over it.

According to the figures recorded, the revenue generated by Luoyun Pavilion over the past two years was considerable, nearly a hundred thousand Spirit Stones a year in profit, while not as much as at its peak, it still reached about sixty to seventy percent of its former levels.

That these results were achieved under the influence of the beast tide that affected the entire Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World was completely beyond his expectation.

However, it was a welcome surprise.

Lin Tianming handed back the account book, then he praised, "The stable operation of Luoyun Pavilion and the achievement of such a profit is greatly due to the efforts of several uncles. Once I return to the family, I will certainly report this to the Clan Leader, and I believe he will credit the uncles for their contribution and provide ample rewards!"

Hearing these words, Lin Xingyan chuckled and promptly replied in a humble manner, "Tianming, you are too polite. As members of the Lin Family, these are merely our duties."

"However, to tell the truth, that Luoyun Pavilion could achieve such results amid a beast tide that affected the entire Cultivation World of the Wei Kingdom, we really need to thank Senior Wang!"

"Oh? One of the Executive Officers of Luoyun Market, Daoist Wang Wang Zhi?"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised.

"Indeed, Senior Wang. During your absence, he has truly given us much support!"

With those words, Lin Xingyan continued to explain the difficulties Luoyun Pavilion had encountered in the past two years, as well as the help provided by Wang Zhi.

A short while passed.

After Lin Xingyan's explanation, Lin Tianming learned of the reasons behind everything.
