Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 284: Chapter 191 Shock_1

Green Bamboo Mountain, Lin Family Clan Grounds.

After two days of non-stop travel, the Purple Gold Eagle carried a group of four and dashed straight into the Protective Clan Formation.

Their hurried journey over the past two days had been quite smooth. With four Foundation Establishment Cultivators moving together, and with Lin Shikang, a Foundation Establishment Ninth Level cultivator, as their rear guard, nobody foolish enough sought to court death by approaching them.

During the journey, Lin Tianming and his company mentioned nothing of their adventures in the Secret Realm, and Lin Shikang did not inquire.

However, their ever-present smiles spoke volumes, and knowing them as he did, he was certain their venture had been abundantly fruitful.

The reason Lin Tianming and his companion didn’t bring it up was simply because they were too exhausted.

They had spent the last few days burdened with heavy responsibilities and nerves stretched thin. They were utterly drained, both mentally and physically. Since the treasures were already in their possession, there was no harm in waiting a few more days until the arrival of other important clan members to share their story in detail.

Understanding this, Lin Shikang and Lin Xingrong kept silent, all wearing looks of anticipation for the day they would reunite with family.@@novelbin@@

As the four men and one eagle entered the Protective Clan Formation, Lin Tianming and his companion let out a long sigh of relief, allowing their tense nerves to finally relax.

Atop the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, on the Bluestone Plaza, Lin Shikang saw the still weary expressions of the two and said,

“Shilu, you two have worked hard these past days. Go back and rest; we’ll meet at my cave mansion in two days.”

Hearing Lin Shikang’s words, the two men didn’t decline but nodded and bowed before heading towards their respective cave mansions.

Lin Tianming returned to his cave mansion, without any delay, dove into his room, and collapsed onto the stone bed he hadn’t seen in so long.

It wasn’t long before he fell into a deep sleep, his room filled with the sound of his even and rhythmic breathing.

Two days later, early in the morning, Lin Tianming finally opened his eyes and awoke.

He had slept for a full two days, and the feeling of exhaustion had completely vanished from his body, leaving him in peak condition.

Lin Tianming got up, stretched, then left his cave mansion and made his way to Lin Shikang’s abode.

Before long, he arrived at the courtyard of Lin Shikang’s Cave Mansion.

At that time, Lin Shikang and Lin Shigong were seated in the courtyard, sipping tea and chatting leisurely as they waited for others to arrive.

Upon seeing Lin Tianming enter, their faces lit up with joy, and they hastily invited him to sit down.

Lin Tianming promptly approached to pay his respects, and afterward sat down to join in their idle chatter.

Soon, Lin Shilu, Lin Shihua, and Lin Xingrong arrived together.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the six of them each found seats and continued their conversation.

With the exception of Lin Xingping and Lin Xingyuan, who were still at Qianchuan Market and Luoyun Market respectively, all six Foundation Establishment Clan Members were now gathered together.

As the junior among them, Lin Tianming got up to pour tea for his elders. When he came to serve Clan Leader Lin Shihua, he discreetly noticed that in just over a month’s time, the Clan Leader had successfully made a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer.

A surge of happiness washed over Lin Tianming, who then asked, “Twelfth Grandpa, have you successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer?”

Lin Shihua chuckled and then said reflectively, “We broke through too late and can’t compare to the potential of you youngsters. It has been six or seven years since I entered Foundation Establishment, and it would have been improper not to make a breakthrough.”

Lin Tianming felt helpless hearing Lin Shihua’s reply.

Many clan members of the Shihua generation were held back by the Lin Family’s lack of resources. Clan Leader Lin Shihua had been tied down with clan obligations, spending at least half the year on affairs other than cultivation—far less time than Lin Xingrong devoted to his own.

From the perspective of the cultivation path, the position of Clan Leader was even a heavy burden.

Grandfather Lin Shigong was in the same boat, serving as the Alchemy Hall Master while being responsible for training the younger generation as well as studying Pill Formulas and conducting Alchemy. Additionally, he was older when he reached his breakthrough, and thus his cultivation progress naturally lagged behind the younger generation.

With this in mind, Lin Tianming offered consolation, “Twelfth Grandpa, having been a long-serving Clan Leader, you’ve shouldered the burden and concerns of the family, it’s the family that has held you back.”

Lin Shihua’s face shone with joy, and he was deeply touched by these words.

Ten years ago, the family was on the brink of collapse, and he had resigned himself to the possibility that he would die at the Qi Refinement Realm.

Who could have imagined…

That the family would rise so meteorically within such a short span of time, giving him a glimpse of hope for reaching Foundation Establishment, which both he and Lin Shigong managed to seize.

Meanwhile, Lin Shiji and Lin Shixin failed in their breakthroughs and sacrificed their last bit of strength for the clan during the battle at Green Bamboo Mountain.

At the thought, Lin Shihua’s eyes reddened slightly, and he spoke with a regretful tone, “Fate is indeed mysterious. It’s just a pity for Elder Shi and the others…”

Seeing Lin Shihua’s choked speech and his reminiscing expression, Lin Shikang quickly offered a few comforting words.

Lin Shihua knew he had lost his composure but soon recovered, then he started discussing more pressing matters.

Seeing the eager looks from the clan members, Lin Shilu chuckled and began recounting their experiences in the Secret Realm.

“What?”

“Tian Ming fought alone against a Foundation Establishment Eighth Level cultivator and obtained the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus!”

Facing Lin Shigong’s exclamations, Lin Tianming replied with an embarrassed smile, “If it wasn’t for Fifteenth Grandfather, I might’ve not made it!”

Hearing this, Lin Shilu solemnly said,

“This kid is really bold… Staying near that pool was so dangerous. Next time, you should keep your distance. That way, if things get impossible, you can still make an escape, right?”

Lin Tianming nodded in agreement, recalling the situation. In such a dangerous Secret Realm, with his own level of cultivation, he indeed should have kept his distance. Seeing that he couldn’t get the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus on his own, he should have been ready to flee rather than staying there and almost losing his life.
