Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

```

Even the True Disciples of the three Great Sects would not be able to ignore a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item.

As such, this thing is crucial as to whether Hu Yuan can advance further on his cultivation path; it is inevitably very important.

And his nervousness, his concern for the item, is also within reason.

Time passed unnoticed, and with bubbles surfacing at the center of the lake, waves began to spread outward from the middle.

Noticing this change, Hu Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly made his way to the location of the bubbles.

As more and more bubbles appeared, the figure of Lin Tianming soon emerged.

Descending to the bottom of the lake had been difficult, but returning was much smoother.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Tianming had returned to the surface of the lake.

Seeing the newcomer, Hu Yuan eagerly greeted him, and although he did not speak, his face was completely overtaken by his anxious and eager mood.

In this situation, Lin Tianming merely smiled gently and said, "Daoist Hu, mission accomplished!"

As he finished speaking, Lin Tianming waved his sleeve, and a Jade Box flew out of his hand, heading straight for Hu Yuan.

Seeing this object, Hu Yuan's breathing quickened and, no longer caring about appearances, he grabbed the Jade Box to inspect its contents immediately.

Soon after seeing the Fruit of Fortuity inside the Jade Box, Hu Yuan's face flushed with excitement, and his breathing became even more rapid.

"Fruit of Fortuity!"

"I never expected it to be this... Hahaha... This time my luck is excellent... truly excellent..."

Hu Yuan was visibly excited, his speech growing incoherent.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Tianming said nothing to interrupt him, and simply stood quietly aside.

After a while, Hu Yuan put the Jade Box away and also regained his composure.

Yet the delighted smile on his face was proof of his mood at the moment.

At this instant, when Hu Yuan looked back at Lin Tianming, his expression was filled with awe and gratitude.

He was very apprehensive before, worried that Lin Tianming might not be able to reach the bottom of the lake, or even concerned that he might hoard the treasure for himself.

But now, with the invaluable Fruit of Fortuity in his storage bag, all his worries dissipated as matters settled.

This great turnaround left him somewhat in disbelief.

Fortunately, everything happened for real, and the Fruit of Fortuity was genuinely present.

With this item, once he leaves the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm and finds a safe place, he may close off the world and cultivate.

If all goes well, it is entirely possible that within a few years, he could reach the long-desired Golden Core Stage.

Just thinking about these prospects, Hu Yuan could no longer suppress the agitation in his heart, becoming extremely excited.

Over the course of a cup of tea, he finally managed to calm down from his excitement.

Looking at the silent Lin Tianming, Hu Yuan gave a respectful bow with clasped hands, performing a deep salute.

Then, embarrassedly, he said, "Lin, I apologize for making you witness such a display!"

"Haha... it's nothing, don't worry about it!"

Lin Tianming waved his hand to indicate it was no issue and to not worry about such things.

"To speak the truth, I owe a great debt to Lin, without you, it would not have been possible for me to find such an opportunity!"

Hu Yuan's words were very sincere, and his attitude extremely respectful, not at all presuming his own strength was greater despite being two levels higher in cultivation.

Such heartfelt words indeed confirmed his thoughts before the opening of the Secret Realm.

Lin Tianming is a person of great fortune; being with someone like this, he too was subtly influenced.

In fact, the experiences over the past six months had validated his decision.

Thinking this, Hu Yuan felt relieved about his own decision making.

When Lin Tianming heard Hu Yuan's words, he too nodded in satisfaction, harboring no undue thoughts over a single Fruit of Fortuity.

In his heart, Hu Yuan was seen as a fairly easygoing person, one of sentiment and integrity; as long as he fulfilled his promises without remorse, that was enough.

Not just towards Lin, but others as well—only by building a good network of connections could the Lin Family face less difficulty in case of trouble, with friends ready to help.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming felt no pang of regret over the lost treasure.

This mindset was very comforting, leaving him deeply contemplative.

```

Hu had taken all factors into consideration, and at last Lin Tianming addressed Hu Yuan, "Daoist Hu, please do not mind these trivial matters, after all, you have also made significant efforts during this period, and this Fruit of Fortuity is indeed something you deserve!"

"Moreover, I am merely keeping a promise. Should the Lin Family, or I, encounter difficulties in the future, I hope that Daoist Hu will lend a helping hand if it is within your power, so that my taking this risk was not in vain!"

Before the echoes of these words had faded, Hu Yuan bowed with his hands clasped together and replied with determination, "Rest assured, Lin, I will certainly remember your kindness. Should I be fortunate enough to step onto the Golden Core Path, I will surely repay the Lin Family!"

"Hmm... Very well!"

Lin Tianming nodded in response to this, and then swiftly changed the subject to more pressing matters.

"Daoist Hu, now that we have obtained the treasure, our goal for entering the secret realm has been fully achieved. What are your plans going forward?"

Once Lin Tianming had asked this, Hu Yuan fell into deep thought.

Lin Tianming did the same.

In his heart, before this, he had already obtained the Silver-Eyed Spirit Fox, quite a lot of Third Order spiritual medicine and ore, along with the Purple Gold Eagle Clan, and his harvest was already rich enough.

Even if he had left the secret realm before this time, it would not be too regrettable.

And now, having secured two Fruits of Fortuity, as well as a Creation Fruit Tree, the rewards of this trip were truly overflowing.

In fact, these gains had far exceeded the expectations he had prior to entering the secret realm.

However, there were still over two months left before the closure of the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm.

This span of time wasn't particularly long, but it wasn't short either.

If they were to be cautious, they could find a safe place to practice closure cultivation and conveniently spend this remaining time.

That would also prevent any further risks and avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, bearing significant treasures and to then perish here because of the final two months of adventure would mean all the treasures would be gone in vain, evidently an unwise loss.

But securing an opportunity to enter the secret realm was truly not easy, and the next opening would not be for another two hundred years.

It could be said that missing this chance meant no further opportunities to enter again.

With over two months left, if they were lucky enough to find a few more Third Grade Treasures, it would represent an ideal situation.

Currently, the Lin Family had limited Third Order treasures at their disposal. Once Lin Shikang succeeded in his Impact of Golden Core Stage, both he and Lin Shilu would also need to practice closure cultivation.

Once the number of Golden Core Stage Clansmen in the Lin Family increased, their demand for resources would double, and ordinary items would scarcely be of use to Golden Core Cultivators.

Considering this, if they were to choose to avoid battle now, wasting away the final moments, that too would seem regrettable.

Thinking of these matters left Lin Tianming quite conflicted.

On the other hand, Hu Yuan, after much deliberation, decided it would be more prudent to proceed cautiously.

He was a Loose Cultivator after all, and the most critical matter at the moment was to break through to the Golden Core Stage; other concerns were less significant.

If successful, it wouldn't be too much trouble to spend some time and energy finding more treasures.

But if he failed, no matter how many Third Grade Treasures he found, they would be of no use, rendering the endeavor completely meaningless.

Therefore, Hu Yuan still planned to find a safe place for closure cultivation and to use up the last of his time.

Having made this decision, Hu Yuan spoke to Lin Tianming, "Lin, the rewards from this journey are sufficient, and only by preserving our lives to make it out can there be opportunities to contend for more possessions once we've stepped onto the Golden Core Path."

Though Hu Yuan did not explicitly state it, his meaning was clear.

And upon hearing Hu Yuan's words, Lin Tianming fell silent for a moment.

Soon, after considering the situation, he too felt that what Hu Yuan had said made sense.

If they had only acquired one Fruit of Fortuity, both Lin Shilu and he would need it in the short term.

No matter how he considered it, allocating that one Fruit of Fortuity would be quite difficult.

Given the situation, he might have risked searching for another Nascent Soul Spiritual Item.

But having acquired two fruits, along with the even more valuable Creation Fruit Tree, taking any more risks would indeed be foolish.

Considering all this, Lin Tianming also came to a decision: to follow Hu Yuan's opinion, to find a place for closure cultivation first, and to wait for the day when the secret realm closed.

Once Lin Tianming was certain of his thoughts, he no longer dwelled on the matter and promptly discussed it with Hu Yuan.

In a short while, the two reached a consensus.

Subsequently, after gathering their belongings, they flew off in one direction and eventually vanished from the original spot.
