Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 337: Chapter 212 Mother-Daughter Retreat_1

The tranquil cultivation days continued, and two years had passed since Lin Tianming broke through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

During these two years, he would emerge from seclusion every six months for a brief period, assisting the family in making Second Order Pills during his spare time, and sometimes visiting the Alchemy Hall to help his grandfather instruct some of the younger clan members in alchemy.

He would also visit some of the elders or help the family handle some simple affairs, leading a life that was quite fulfilling and peaceful.

By this time, he had been on the cultivation path for nearly thirty years, and his age had quietly approached forty.

If judged by a cultivator’s lifespan, he was still young, at a golden age, but in the secular world, being forty meant reaching middle age, potentially with a wife and children, and grandchildren filling the household.

At the peak of Green Bamboo Mountain, within Lin Tianming’s cave dwelling.

He completed his cultivation and left the secret chamber, sitting down in the stone pavilion within the small courtyard.

Five years had passed in the blink of an eye; he had only entered seclusion a few times, and time had passed like this. Although such a daily routine of cultivation was nothing unusual for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he realized that such peaceful and comfortable days were something he was experiencing for the first time.@@novelbin@@

It was good, nevertheless. Too much fighting and killing could lead to weariness, and if not for the pursuit of opportunity and longevity, who would want to risk their life for it?

Lin Tianming looked up at the noon sun and then let out a long sigh, pulling back his wandering thoughts.

“Sister and mother should be preparing to impact the Foundation Establishment Stage; I should go and check on them,” he murmured to himself.

After speaking to himself, Lin Tianming left the courtyard and walked along the path on the peak’s summit.

As he walked, he observed the newly-built courtyards around him—these were the cave dwellings that the family had built in recent years. They didn’t differ much from the old courtyards that had stood for hundreds of years in style and decoration, the only difference being they did not bear the traces of time.

With the increasing number of Foundation Establishment Cultivator clan members and the explosive growth expected in the next few years, the original twenty or so courtyards had become insufficient.

Therefore, dozens of new courtyards were constructed and planned anew, still divided into four large areas, each with over twenty courtyards.

Looking around, the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain had been transformed, with a larger Bluestone Plaza and a unified architectural complex, appearing quite majestic and befitting of a Foundation Establishing Family.

As he walked, it didn’t take long for him to arrive at his mother’s cave dwelling.

Sitting in the courtyard and having tea, his mother and sister ended their seclusion and joined him in the yard shortly after.

Just as the three of them were about to take their seats, grandfather arrived, and they all hurried forward to pay their respects.

Seeing Lin Tianming and his family, Lin Shigong had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.

Noting such an expression, Lin Tianming vaguely felt an unusual aura emanating from him.

“Grandfather, have you broken through to the third level of Foundation Establishment?” Lin Tianming asked.

“Hmm… It’s been several years since I’ve been stuck at the second layer of Foundation Establishment. I thought it would take a few more years of cultivation, but when I tried during my recent seclusion, I broke through unexpectedly.”

“It’s just like they say, sometimes flowers don’t bloom when you want them to, and trees you plant without thought suddenly provide shade,” Lin Shigong said with a smile.

Lin Tianming chuckled, realizing that such occurrences weren’t unusual in cultivation. Often, after failing to break through, a cultivator might succeed if they tried again after some time; indeed, it was unpredictable.

“Regardless, it’s good that you’ve made a breakthrough!” Lin Tianming said with a smile.

Lin Shigong nodded and then asked about Lin Tianyue and her daughter’s plans for Foundation Establishment.

Ren Yuxuan considered for a moment before responding, “I reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage around two years ago, and after half a year of adventuring outside with clan members, I plan to choose a date to begin seclusion and impact Foundation Establishment.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Tianyue also said, “Mother and I have discussed it and tentatively decided to begin seclusion in half a month!”

Hearing this, Lin Tianming and his grandson were visibly excited. Both of them had already achieved Foundation Establishment, and now, with mother and daughter still at the Qi Refinement Realm, they had waited many years to finally attempt Foundation Establishment. If successful, their little family would include five Foundation Establishment members, an exciting prospect indeed.

What was more important was that even if there was no hope of Lin Shigong and Lin Xingrong, his wife, breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Lin Shigong would live for at least another hundred years, giving the family plenty of time to live together.

After all, no one is indifferent to longevity, nor does anyone wish to be eternally separated from their loved ones.

Now that the mother and daughter were planning to take that step, it was crucial for the family and the clan.

Lin Tianming, eager and impatient, quickly took out two Foundation Establishment Pills he had made and handed them to the mother and daughter. These two pills were reserved specifically for this day.

Seeing Lin Tianming’s gesture, his mother Jiao Nan spoke, “Mother has prepared quite a bit of merit over the years, and Tianyue is ready too. We were planning to go to the Hall of Merit to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills. Keep these pills for yourself!”

“Yeah, brother,”

“We can’t always rely on you to bail us out. I’m a First Order Superior Grade Talisman Maker myself, and I’ve managed to save up twenty thousand points of merit,” Lin Tianyue added.

Hearing their words, Lin Shigong, who had been listening, became serious and then spoke persuasively, “You two should not refuse Tianming’s generosity. The wealth accumulated on him is probably the most in our entire clan. Even Shi Lu and your third uncle might not match up!”
