Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 119 New Task_1

Entering the Alchemy Hall, Lin Shigong had already been waiting for a long time.

It had been a year since he last saw his grandfather, and Lin Tianming was quite happy, immediately stepping forward to pay his respects.

Seeing his grandson, Lin Shigong couldn't hide his joy, his face brimming with a thick smile.

The two sat down, drinking Spiritual Tea while chatting.

Lin Shigong had also nearly reached three years in the Foundation Establishment Stage. In the past two years, the Jin and Wu families had been eradicated, and the Sun Family had suffered heavy losses. The wealth of all three families had fallen into the hands of the Lin Family.

The Lin Family had amassed a great deal of wealth and a large amount of Spiritual Medicine Materials. Lin Shigong had not been idle; knowing that Core Formation was beyond his reach in this life, he had barely cultivated at all, focusing all his energy on the Alchemy Dao, solely to refine the elixirs needed by the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of his family as soon as possible.

In the span of two years, thanks to decades of accumulation in the Alchemy Dao, Lin Shigong, after painstaking research and attempts, had managed to refine Second Order Inferior Grade Pills. Although the success rate and yield were not high, it finally solved the pressing need for cultivation pills within his family, and they were no longer restricted in this aspect.

After more than two hundred years of silence, the Lin Family finally saw the emergence of a Second Order Alchemist once again.

Upon learning that his grandfather had successfully become a Second Order Alchemist, Lin Tianming felt exceedingly joyful and congratulated him repeatedly, which made his grandfather very happy.

"Enough, enough, how have you been in the recent year, any progress?"

Lin Shigong waved his hand to stop him, his old face beaming with joy as he asked about Lin Tianming's situation with a playful scold.

Lin Tianming was in high spirits and reported everything about his year in seclusion without reservation.

Upon learning that Lin Tianming had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage, and that he had completed the latter half of his Spirit Art with mighty power, Lin Shigong was overjoyed and immediately sent out several messages.

Soon after, Lin Shikang and Lin Shihua both hurried over.

Everyone took their seats, and Lin Tianming swiftly poured tea for them, his unperturbed demeanor greatly satisfying them.

Lin Shikang nodded in approval, showing a trace of satisfaction before teasingly saying,

"Tianming, you really haven't let us down. To reach the Qi Cultivation Great Perfection at twenty-two, with your current strength, I fear even Xing Yuan may not be sure to best you."

After Lin Shikang finished speaking, Lin Tianming repeatedly gave a bitter smile before humbly saying,

"Uncle Xing Yuan is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, far beyond what Qi Refining Cultivators can compare to. Third Grandfather shouldn't overpraise his grandson."

"Third Brother, we can't praise this boy too much. Though his talent is remarkable and his cultivation speed and strength are excellent, we mustn't let him become too arrogant. I've heard that there are quite a few examples of people succeeding in Foundation Establishment in their early twenties in the Wei Kingdom. I think we must not slack off."

Lin Shigong chimed in quickly, with Lin Shihua adding a few words of agreement.

At this moment, Lin Tianming's thoughts also soared, estimating his own strength.

In the cultivation path, the Qi Refinement Realm is only the first stage. As long as a mortal is born with a Spiritual Root, regardless of cultivation resources, they can usually reach the Mid Qi Refining Stage with a hundred years of hard cultivation. Subsequently, without resources, breaking through another realm would take an immense amount of time.

In the Cultivation World, Qi Refining Cultivators only live longer than ordinary mortals. Although they can wield some spells, they are still unable to completely go without food or fly on their own. They can only do so with the help of Spiritual Artifacts or other external means.

Strictly speaking, Qi Refining Cultivators can't be considered true Cultivators at all, but only mortals who have just glimpsed the Dao.

However, Foundation Establishment Cultivators are different. Besides doubling their lifespan, they can abandon grain completely, fly with their own spiritual power, and possess tremendous might with a simple gesture, transcending the mortal world.

Merely breaking through to the Foundation Establishment was a bottleneck that countless Qi Refining Cultivators couldn't overcome. Within the vast expanse of the Luoyun Mountain Range, the number of Qi Refining Cultivators who successfully established their foundations could be counted on one's fingers.

In this way, Foundation Establishment Cultivators were considered the true practitioners of cultivation, with strength that naturally couldn't be compared to that of Qi Training Cultivators.

At this moment, his spiritual power had reached the limit of Qi Refinement, and his body refinement was also nearing its limit.

With his current strength, if he faced a first-layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator without using the Great Sun Sword Qi Art, it would be difficult to kill them, but escaping should still pose no problem.

The elders chatted idly about the family's recent situation while Lin Tian Ming occasionally chimed in.

An hour passed, and Lin Shi Kang took a sip of Spiritual Tea before asking Lin Tian Ming about his future cultivation plans.

After some thought, considering that the Luoyun Mountain Range was calm and without danger at the moment,

he, being at leisure and having just broken through to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage not long ago, didn't plan to attempt the Foundation Establishment soon. He thought it would be good to consolidate his gains and build a solid foundation before making a breakthrough.

Since Lin Shi Kang had taken the initiative to ask, it was highly likely that there were plans afoot, so Lin Tian Ming tentatively asked,

"Third Grandfather, I currently have no specific plans. Does the family have any arrangements? Tian Ming is willing to serve the Lin Family."

Lin Shi Kang nodded, quite satisfied with Lin Tian Ming's response.

Although he had not spoken directly, Lin Tian Ming was able to intuit the implication and was always willing to contribute to the family. This showed that he was very concerned about the family's development.

"Tian Ming, currently, the family is very stable, and the Luoyun Market also is at peace. In half a year, the triennial auction of Luoyun Market will take place. Our Lin Family will be managing the market for the first time and is taking this auction very seriously. You should go and assist Xing Yuan in the market and preside over the auction."

Upon hearing Lin Shi Kang's words, Lin Tian Ming was surprised, thinking it would be some significant matter, only to find out it was to preside over an auction.

"Tian Ming is willing to go. Have the family decided on the auction's finale item?" Find more to read at empire

Lin Tian Ming readily agreed, to no surprise to Lin Shi Kang, who repeatedly inquired about the circumstances regarding the grand finale auction item from Lin Shihua.

Following the end of the great conflict between the Luoyun Mountain Range families, although much of their popularity had been restored, it was still not at its zenith.

Now that the Lin Family had become the strongest family in the Luoyun Mountain Range, controlling over fifty percent of the profit distribution, naturally, they regarded the post-war first auction with great importance.

The Lin Family had acquired the wealth of the Jin and Wu families and had a portion of the Sun Family's property too. There were no small number of treasures, and they were certainly flush with resources.

An hour passed, and after discussion, Lin Shi Kang and the others decided to put a large number of rare treasures up for auction to boost the market's popularity and expand the Lin Family's earnings.

Having settled on the auction items, Lin Shihua sent a message and then handed a piece of Beast Skin to Lin Tian Ming.

"Tian Ming, these fifteen treasures are coveted by any Qi Refinement Cultivator, and several are also quite useful for Foundation Establishment Cultivators. I've already sent a message to Xingcheng. After you collect them from the Hall of Merit, pick a time to depart. The auction will be in your hands."

Lin Tian Ming took the Beast Skin and examined the items listed on it.

Pozhang Pills, Xisui Pills, Yellow Grade Techniques, Second Order Pills, and even a Third Order Spiritual Medicine were included.

It seemed that the family indeed placed great importance on this, bringing out many treasured items scarce to the Lin Family.

Lin Tian Ming put the Beast Skin into his storage bag, bowed to the others with a clasped fist, and then slowly withdrew.
