Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 118 One Year_1

Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory, within a secret chamber.

Lin Tianming sat cross-legged, spiritual light suddenly flashing between his fingers. In the blink of an eye, a faint Sword Qi burst forth from his fingertips, easily piercing through a shell hanging in the air.

Lifting the shell above his head, Lin Tianming watched as the moonlight filtered through the hole left by the Sword Qi, a wave of ecstatic joy flashing across his face.

After more than ten days of comprehension, he had successfully cultivated the Great Sun Sword Qi Art. The faint trace of Sword Qi he had just released was to test the power of his Sword Qi.

With merely one percent of his strength, he easily penetrated the shell of a First Order Inferior Demonic Beast. This was after only two years of tempering, and it was unimaginable how terrifying it would be if he were to cultivate it for ten years and release it in its entirety.

"Spirit Arts truly are formidable, stronger than the Divine Skills that come with a Cultivation Technique and surpassing them in pure power by quite a margin. No wonder they are so rare and precious."

After sighing, Lin Tianming was quite satisfied with this power.

With this complete Spirit Art, it was like having a trump card for a decisive kill. Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, if slightly careless, could be killed by it.

Having successfully cultivated the Spirit Art, Lin Tianming did not immediately leave his retreat but took out several elixirs and began to cultivate again.

He had reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining during the family war, and after several life-and-death battles, he was only a step away from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage.

Now that everything within the family was going well, it was the perfect time to seclude himself to strive for a higher realm.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming once again entered a state of cultivation.

...

Green Bamboo Mountain, within the Family Elders' Hall.

Lin Shihua was discussing affairs with Lin Shigong when Lin Xingli entered the hall with more than thirty boys and girls.

The sight of Lin Xingli entering the hall brought surprise and joy to Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong.

Lin Xingli quickly stepped forward to pay his respects, and the children behind him knelt down and followed suit.

Lin Shihua nodded and asked impatiently,

"Xingli, are these the boys and girls who were tested at this year's Talent Assessment? Tell me, how are their aptitudes?"

Lin Xingli stepped in front of the group of children and began to report.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, this year's Talent Assessment was held in twelve towns outside of the family's town, and thirty-six boys and girls were tested. Among them, four have Three Spiritual Roots, twelve with Four Spiritual Roots, and twenty with Five Spiritual Roots."

In a short while, Lin Xingli had reported everything about the Talent Assessment.

Hearing Lin Xingli's report, Lin Shihua's face brightened with joy.

To uncover forty-three children with Spiritual Roots in one assessment was more than double the number from the last time. Even though there weren't many with Three Spiritual Roots, the overall number was substantial.

With such a number, the Lin Family's population could potentially double within a decade. The thought of this excited Lin Shihua tremendously.

"Xingli, you've done an excellent job with the Talent Assessment. The numbers are quite impressive. Immediately take them to the ancestral hall to be recorded in the family's genealogy."

"Yes!"

Lin Xingli replied, then led the group of children to the annex behind the Elders' Assembly.

Soon, Lin Shihua finished naming and enlisting the forty-three clan members into the family genealogy and then led them in the worship of the ancestors.

After being busy for half of the day, he finally completed the task. Stay connected through empire

Lin Shihua was the first to walk out of the hall. He turned to Lin Xingli behind him and said,

"Xingli, send the new members of the clan to Shi Gang, and have them start learning the basics as soon as possible to set them on the path of cultivation early."

Lin Shihua's command was something Lin Xingli dared not delay, as he quickly replied:

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

Having said that, Lin Xingli led the boys and girls behind him in a bow before quickly leaving.

Watching them depart, Lin Shihua turned to Lin Shigong to inquire about Lin Tianming's situation.

"Shihua, ever since the family conference ended, that young man has been in retreat without pause. He only briefly informed me, saying he was comprehending a Spirit Art. It's been almost a month now, and I have no idea when he'll come out of seclusion!"

Lin Shigong cursed with a smile on his lips, yet his heart was extremely satisfied.

Lin Tianming had always been diligent in his cultivation, gifted as well, being less than twenty-one years old and already at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. With strength atop his peers, he was truly elite. Having such a member, the Lin Family's future was bright.

Lin Shihua felt equally relieved and envious, praising Lin Tianming a few times before they each went their separate ways.

...

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Inside the secret chamber where Lin Tianming was cultivating.

Lin Tianming, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his tightly shut eyes, and flashes of sharp light passed through his black pupils.

In seclusion for a whole year, he hadn't wasted a moment, taking a month to understand a Spirit Art, then immediately consuming elixirs to continue his cultivation.

After a year and consuming a large quantity of elixirs, he finally managed to break through to the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining.

Feeling the spiritual power rapidly flowing through his body, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

His spiritual power had broken through, and he didn't fall behind in Body Refinement either.

Sending his Divine Sense into his body, he found that all his internal organs had been strengthened, the robust vitality and explosive power now made his strength even more terrifying.

Just relying on his body, he estimated he could easily withstand an attack from a Qi Refining Eighth Level cultivator without any pressure.

Feeling the formidable spiritual power and the explosive strength of his body, he felt very gratified.

His efforts and the life-and-death battles had paid off, successfully breaking through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage before turning twenty-two. Such a speed of cultivation had never been heard of in the entire Luoyun Mountain Range.

Even within the Wei Kingdom, a Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivator at the age of twenty-two was an extremely rare existence.

His goal for the retreat had been achieved, and there was no more possibility for progress, unless he decided to impact the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Feeling his own state, Lin Tianming abandoned the idea of continuing the seclusion to attempt Foundation Establishment.

Even though he met the criteria for breakthrough, he wished to gain more experience and settle his achievements before starting the impact on Foundation Establishment Stage.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming tidied up the messy secret chamber, casually casting a Rain Control Technique to comfortably bathe and wash off the grime that had seeped out of his body. He took out a set of clean green robes from his storage bag, changed into them, and walked out of the secret chamber.

A year had passed, and Green Bamboo Mountain had once again returned to its tranquil and peaceful state.

A large number of clanspeople were bustling in and out of the mountain gate, each busy and cheerful.

The entire Luoyun Mountain Range was exceptionally tranquil, the Sun Family, and Luo Family were all developing their clans. After the calm, Luoyun Market regained its former bustling scenes.

In this year, the Lin Family had changed a lot. After the Spirit Root Testing Conference, many new clanspeople were recruited, and the number had nearly reached two hundred, matching the size at their peak.

With family policies and a wealth of resources, many clanspeople eagerly broke through their barriers. Although there still weren't too many at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, in no more than three years, the power of the Qi Refining clanspeople would climb another step.

After exchanging greetings with some passing clanspeople, Lin Tianming soon arrived at the Alchemy Hall.

Casting a Law Decree, Lin Tianming walked straight in.
