Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 314: Chapter 203 Guess_1

In the North District of Qianchuan Market, outside a delicate and quiet residence.

Lin Tianming and his two companions paused for a moment before a message was sent out, and the residence’s gate swiftly opened automatically. The three stepped in.

At that time, Ye Pinghai was sitting in the small courtyard, waiting for Lin Tianming’s visit.

Upon seeing the three enter the courtyard, he politely stood up, greeting Lin Tianming and the others.

“Tian Ming has met Grandpa Sea,” Lin Tianming saluted with folded hands, and Lin Xingping also greeted Ye Pinghai with clasped fists.

Ye Pinghai waved his hand in a dismissing gesture and then turned to Lin Tianyue, asking, “Heh heh, I am truly delighted by the visit of the three young friends. Is this Elder Shi Gong’s granddaughter?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianyue nodded and then bowed respectfully, “Tian Yue has seen Elder Ye. I have often heard grandfather and my brother mention the elder. I have been in the market for some days now, and it is only today that I have come to pay respects. I hope elder will not blame the younger generation for any disrespect.”

“It’s no trouble at all. Your grandfather and your elders are very good friends of mine, and the Lin Family has been kind to me, so there’s no need for such politeness. Just call me as Tian Ming does from now on,” Ye Pinghai replied.

“I will follow Grandpa Sea’s instructions,” said Lin Tianyue, once again bowing respectfully.

“Hmm.” Ye Pinghai nodded and then with a wave of his sleeve, a rather exquisite silver-white small sword and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Ye Pinghai waved the spirit sword in his hand, its nimble blade quickly turning into a series of afterimages, clearly a supreme quality spiritual artifact.

“This Ice Sword was obtained by me in my early years; among supreme quality spiritual artifacts, it’s considered a fine item. This Jade Ring Pill in the bottle will benefit your cultivation. Consider them a meeting gift from me,” Ye Pinghai said.

Seeing the Ice Sword and Jade Ring Pill, Lin Tianming was excited. The aura from the spiritual artifact suggested it was very close to the standard of a Second Order Magical Artifact, extremely nimble yet possessing formidable piercing power—indeed, it was a rare treasure among spiritual artifacts.

The Jade Ring Pill was an elixir that improved cultivation, its effects even stronger than the Lingshen Pill. However, spiritual medicine is hard to find, and only a few Golden Elixir Forces had a small reserve of it.

Both items were exceptional treasures. It was clear to see that Ye Pinghai was very pleased with Lin Tianyue to present such valuable items.

“Tian Yue, Grandpa Sea is quite generous; you should accept these,” Lin Tianming said.

Hearing Lin Tianming’s reminder, Lin Tianyue, looking delighted, quickly took over the Ice Sword and Jade Ring Pill and thanked Ye Pinghai respectfully.

Ye Pinghai nodded, very satisfied, and then invited the three to sit down and chat casually.

After conversing leisurely for a while, Ye Pinghai changed the topic and solemnly asked, “Tian Ming, what is Daoist Shi Kang’s current cultivation level? If nothing unexpected happens, he should be close to reaching the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm. Does he have any chance of impacting the Golden Core Stage?”

These words made Lin Tianming’s heart tighten. The family had always kept the advancement of Shi Kang to the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment a secret, known only by the most core members.

Ye Pinghai’s direct inquiry was puzzling, leaving Lin Tianming uncertain of his intentions and what his plans were, yet it was inappropriate to outright reject answering.

Musing over these thoughts, Lin Tianming said with a wry smile, “The younger generation is not clear about Third Grandfather’s exact cultivation level. At your level, every step forward is extremely difficult. As for the Golden Core Stage, without heaven-defying treasures, it’s an unreachable realm and not something easily achieved.”@@novelbin@@

Hearing this, Ye Pinghai fell silent for a moment, lost in thought.

Quickly recovering, he said with a resigned tone, “That’s true, without heaven-defying treasures, the hopes of impacting the Golden Core Stage are slim.”

Lin Tianming nodded in agreement and then said, “Today, I came to visit you, Elder, because I will return to my family tomorrow. My sister and uncle will remain in the market. I earnestly request Grandpa Sea to look after them. If there’s an opportunity in the future, we will invite Grandpa Sea to visit Green Bamboo Mountain.”

After finishing, Ye Pinghai maintained his composure, then firmly added:

“As long as your family members do not provoke the Golden Core Forces, there won’t be any danger in the market. Even the Golden Core Forces will give this old man some face. Rest assured and go in peace.”

“Moreover, in a few years, perhaps less than five or within ten, I plan to visit Green Bamboo Mountain to meet with your elders and discuss some important matters.”

Hearing that Ye Pinghai intended to visit Green Bamboo Mountain and had significant matters to discuss with his Third Grandfather and others, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but speculate.

After pondering carefully, given Ye Pinghai’s status and cultivation, Lin Tianming couldn’t fathom what matter would require the Lin Family’s assistance.

“Could he be planning to impact the Golden Core Stage?” Lin Tianming thought suddenly, feeling a spark of realization. That was the only possibility; otherwise, he couldn’t see any reason for Ye Pinghai to seek help from the Lin Family.

Keeping his expression neutral without directly addressing the issue, since no one would lightly disclose such significant matters, Lin Tianming said, “I will then thank Grandpa Sea in advance for his help. Once I have returned to my family, I will surely mention this to Third Grandfather and the others and await Grandpa Sea’s arrival at Green Bamboo Mountain.”

“In no more than five or ten years, I shall surely make the personal visit,” Ye Pinghai said excitedly.

Then, after chatting casually for half an hour and as the evening approached, they got up to say their goodbyes and returned to the Cave Mansion Courtyard.

Sitting in the courtyard, Lin Tianming took out the acquired Second Order Demonic Beast skin armors from the exchange and handed them to Lin Tianyue, then instructed her, “These beast skins were specially prepared for you by your brother. I will return to the family tomorrow. Spend the next three years peacefully cultivating in the market. The outside world is too dangerous; never leave on your own. Always follow Uncle Xing Ping’s arrangements and hopefully, when you return to the family after three years, you can directly impact the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
