Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 414: Lin Family’s 244th Genius Cultivator!_2

“At the critical moment, I must thank the cultivator for your generous rescue. I am deeply grateful, and should an opportunity arise in the future, this young lady will surely repay your kindness.”

Hearing these words, Lin Tianming snapped out of his reverie. Gazing at the lady’s beauty that could overthrow states, and the large expanse of her chest revealed, his cheeks suddenly flushed, and he hurriedly turned his head away.

Seeing Lin Tianming’s reaction and the change in his complexion, the woman then remembered her own injury, the hurried escape that left her with no time to cover the exposed charm in front of her chest.

Moreover, in the heat of the fierce battle just now, she had been too shocked to think of changing her clothes; thus, her beauty had remained revealed, showing a fierce weapon no one else had seen before.

At that moment, Qin Xi’s face underwent a swift change. The originally somewhat pale cheeks suddenly blushed, becoming hot to the touch instantly.

She hurriedly turned, took a set of blue robes from her storage bag, and in the blink of an eye, she had changed into them.

Soon, she turned back around, with the exposed skin now covered, and her flushed cheeks returning to normal.

Looking at Lin Tianming, who was still facing the distance, she smiled awkwardly, “Fellow cultivator… you can turn around now!”

As her words fell, Lin Tianming then turned back to look at the woman anew.

By then, Qin Xi’s complexion had greatly improved. A green gown concealed her jade-like skin, giving her a fresh and unblemished look as if untouched by mud.

Her demeanor granted a refreshing feeling to the onlooker, a stark contrast to the blood-quickening sight from before, showing two entirely different states.

However, Lin Tianming did not pay much attention to her dazzling beauty, as he was in a state of shock. Fortunately, his exterior remained calm, showing no sign of agitation.

Upon reflection, they had interacted some twenty years ago, when Qin Xi was but a cultivator at the Second Level of Qi Refining.

And now, in such a short time, she had advanced to the Second Layer of Foundation Establishment.

“What kind of cultivation speed is this?” Lin Tianming wondered to himself.

He had been fighting battles in all directions over the years, faced countless life-or-death situations, and aside from that, he had the support and guidance of family elders. In twenty years, he had only cultivated from the Eighth Level of Qi Refining to the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Comparing this, Qin Xi’s cultivation speed seemed not at all inferior, even perhaps a little faster than his own.

“Perhaps her talent is equally remarkable, and she has had her share of fortunes. After all, in the vast cultivation world, there are always higher heavens and more capable people, and my achievements are nothing extraordinary,” Lin Tianming thought to himself with amazement.

Regaining his composure, and not daring to look too long at the delicate jade beauty that was Qin Xi, Lin Tianming was cautious not to give the wrong impression and be thought of as a frivolous dandy.

And Qin Xi, after taking a glance at Lin Tianming, opened her mouth again to express her thanks, her tone genuinely sincere.

“You have been righteous in coming to my aid, yet I do not know your esteemed name. May I ask it, so I can surely repay this life-saving grace in the future?”

In the face of the lady’s inquiry about his name, Lin Tianming smiled openly. It was a critical time, as the beast tide had not passed and the Lin Family’s crisis had yet to be resolved, urgently requiring the assistance of cultivators from all walks of life.

Now that he knew of Qin Xi’s cultivation and background, it was crucial to vigorously befriend such a gifted loose cultivator.

He hadn’t expected any reward for helping earlier; it was just lending a hand as the situation called for it, also serving as fostering goodwill for himself and the Lin Family.

At this time, facing Qin Xi’s questions about his identity, there was indeed nothing to hide.

He had already appeared publicly at the Luoyun Market, and his cultivation level was more or less known to all; it wouldn’t be long before this information spread throughout the southern regions of the Wei Kingdom.

Considering this, his expression changed, he revealed his true appearance, and then he spoke:

“I am Lin Tianming, a member of the Luoyun Mountain Lin Family. Passing by this place by chance and encountering Fairy Qin in danger, it was a simple effort to lend a hand. There is no need for such courtesy!”

Hearing this and again observing Lin Tianming’s resolute and youthful appearance, Qin Xi herself was equally surprised and found it somewhat incredible.

The Lin Family of Luoyun Mountain’s great name was almost universally known in the southern regions of the Wei Kingdom, and Lin Tianming was no stranger to her either.

Among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who frequented the southern Wei Kingdom, there were already rumors that Lin Family had a genius cultivator, who likely shone brightly in the great battle at Luoyun Mountain, Lin Tianming.

Although Lin Tianming rarely made public appearances in the Cultivation World in recent years, and his exact cultivation and strength were not known to others, it could be inferred that the genius cultivator of the Lin Family, often discussed secretly among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, was very likely Lin Tianming himself.

With these thoughts, Qin Xi took another look at Lin Tianming, deducing from his age that he was not much older than herself, barely forty years old.

So young, yet already at the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment, his strength was terrifying. With just the power of his body alone, he had beaten a Second Order Middle Stage Yinming Beast with almost no effort.

The genius cultivator who practiced Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, one could only imagine how strong he would be if he used his full strength.

As she collected her thoughts, Lin Tianming’s revelation of his true face and his forthright introduction reassured her of the rumors’ accuracy.

Now calm, Qin Xi’s face was placid, and she let out a long and involuntary sigh of relief.

The reputation of the Lin Family was excellent, and Lin Tianming’s face seemed kind; plus, her intuition told her that Lin Tianming was not a wicked person and probably harbored no ill intentions towards her.

Keeping these considerations in mind, Qin Xi courteously smiled and said, “There’s a rumor that Lin Family has a genius cultivator, I had no idea it was indeed Lin.”

“No matter the reasons Lin offered help, the fact remains that you saved my life, a truth that I will never forget. Should Lin ever encounter any difficulty, do not hesitate to ask for my aid, even if it means going through fire and blade, I shall not refuse.”

“Fairy Qin, there’s really no need to take it so seriously!” Lin Tianming replied, then steered the conversation in another direction.

“Fairy Qin, I have some questions, why did you fall into danger, and where did these Yinming Beasts come from?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Xi remained composed and fell into recollection.

For years, she had frequented the Hengyang Mountain Range, holding a grudge against the Chen Clan, a Foundation Establishing Family in the range. With the Chen Clan’s significant strength, which openly included several Foundation Establishment Cultivators and even a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she dared not linger long in marketplaces.

Hence, for years she stayed incognito, cultivating on the fringes of the two large mountain ranges, all the while evading the Chen Clan’s searches.

In doing so, she found a site with relatively abundant Spiritual Energy to engage in closed-door cultivation. Due to her extensive two-year cultivation period, by the time she emerged, a beast horde had erupted.

Unfortunately for her, as soon as she left her seclusion, she encountered a group of Yinming Beasts passing by her dwelling, forcing her to leave prematurely.

After a fierce battle, she was no match and managed to shake off the main force of the Demon Beast Tribe, but she was chased by Second Order Demonic Beasts.

Fleeing all the way, fortunate to have had some heaven-defying opportunities, she eventually broke through the siege using every trick at her disposal and headed south. Finally arriving here, her Spiritual Power almost depleted, she found herself in dire straits.

She thought she would perish under the claws of the beasts, only to be saved by the timely intervention of Lin Tianming.

Collecting her thoughts, Qin Xi began to recount her harrowing experiences being chased by the Yinming Beasts, though without revealing the hatred in her heart.

She had kept these memories buried deep inside, never sharing them with anyone. Years of arduous cultivation were all for the day when she could root out the Chen Clan from Hengyang Mountain Range to avenge her grandfather’s death.

Qin Xi continued to narrate her ordeal of being pursued by the beasts, her expression unchanged, revealing nothing out of the ordinary.

As time equivalent to the burning of an incense stick passed, Lin Tianming learned of the circumstances behind Qin Xi’s pursuit.

From his guess, the current situation saw various regions and powers within the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World threatened by the beast horde.

Fighting independently, neither the descendants of the powers nor the Loose Cultivators were moving around much, causing information within the Cultivation World to become scarce.
