Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 838 838 450 Another Golden Core_2

?Chapter 838: Chapter 450: Another Golden Core_2 Chapter 838: Chapter 450: Another Golden Core_2 He knew in his heart just how powerful the lightning had been, although it had already scattered, even one-tenth of its strength still posed a potentially fatal threat.

Without any other defensive measures left, all he had was this inner armor as his last line of defense.

If not for the function of this inner armor, it was very doubtful whether he could have survived this ordeal.

However, fortunately, all that was now in the past, and he had become a true Golden Core Cultivator, stepping into the ranks of High Order Cultivators.

While he rejoiced, Lin Shikang and a few others, seeing the dispersing thunderclouds, had hurried over.

From a distance, upon seeing Lin Shilu, Lin Shikang and the others were overjoyed, their faces brimming with excitement.

“Shi Lu, you’ve entered the Golden Core Stage!”

Lin Shikang called out from afar, his excitement obvious in his voice.

The other Lin Family Members, Lin Shihua among them, likewise started to offer their excited congratulations, showing genuine emotion.

Lin Shilu too showed a smile, his eyes glistening with tears as he emotionally responded, “Third brother, I’ve succeeded!”

Hearing these words and seeing the deep emotion in Lin Shilu’s eyes, Lin Shikang let out a hearty laugh.

“The Lin Family has welcomed its third Golden Core Stage Clansman, it seems we old folks are quite lucky!”

Lin Shikang couldn’t help but exclaim.

In reality, he had not expected the Lin Family to undergo such a drastic change.

In his eyes, the Lin Family’s progress over the years was truly incredible, and his own entry into the Golden Core Stage was extremely fortuitous.

This included Lin Shilu’s breakthrough, the tremendous growth of the Lin Family, and those who had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage; all of these achievements were thanks to Lin Tianming.

After all, the Nascent Soul Spiritual Items were obtained by Lin Tianming, and he was the one who could resolve every crisis faced by the family.

It could be said that without Lin Tianming, it was doubtful whether the Lin Family could have survived the first crisis from the Golden Horn Mountain Jin Family.

Considering Lin Tianming had accomplished so much in just over forty years of following the cultivation path, it wasn’t an overstatement to regard him as the Lin Family’s true Hidden Dragon.

Now that Lin Shilu had also stepped into the Golden Core Stage and the Lin Family boasted three Golden Core Stage members, such significant changes filled him with genuine joy.

Thinking of this, Lin Shikang’s mood surged with excitement, unable to conceal his emotions.

Once he had calmed down a bit, Lin Shikang began to offer some advice to Lin Shilu.

“Shi Lu, you’ve also suffered considerable injuries, go into seclusion and cultivate to consolidate your cultivation, and only come out when it’s proper to do so!”

Hearing Lin Shikang’s words, Lin Shilu nodded, then bowed with cupped fists to the three men and quickly vanished from their sight.

Watching Lin Shilu depart, Lin Shikang and the other two exchanged smiles, chatted for a bit, and then each left the place.

That day, inside Lin Shikang’s cave dwelling,
Having just returned from Luoyun Market, Lin Tianming made a point to visit Lin Shikang right away.

Receiving the message, Lin Shihua and a few others also came to Lin Shikang’s cave dwelling, where the four of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.

Upon seeing Lin Tianming, Lin Shikang and the others were thrilled.

Not only because Lin Shilu had overcome the Threefold Lightning Tribulation a few days earlier and entered the Golden Core Stage Realm, but also because Lin Tianming had managed to kill Meng Qingfeng one-on-one and annihilated over a hundred Foundation Establishment Disciples of the Qingyun Sect, virtually wiping out the attacking force of the Qingyun Sect on the Luoyun Mountain Range.

Such an impressive record of battle not only resolved the Lin Family’s immediate predicament but also turned the tide of the situation.

As for Lin Tianming, he remained quite calm, not at all complacent about his achievements.

What he was more concerned about was the message from Lin Shihua, which he found rather puzzling.

Immediately, he asked for the specific reason for it.

Lin Shihua didn’t delay and recounted the visit from Shao Changyi to the Lin Family in its entirety.

Learning that the Lin Family had formed alliances with Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect did not surprise Lin Tianming.

In fact, he had anticipated this development.

After all, with the three sects of Huangyang Kingdom attacking Wei Kingdom, he had figured Myriad Medicine Valley would find itself in a tough situation and would surely seek help from the Lin Family, knowing its strength.

So it was only a matter of time before Myriad Medicine Valley sent someone to visit.

Yet he hadn’t expected Myriad Medicine Valley to value Lin Family so highly.

Given their shortage of personnel, he thought that they would send only one or two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to the Lin Family, but to his surprise, it was Shao Changyi, a Golden Core Cultivator, who came knocking.

What was even more unexpected was that Lin Shikang had negotiated the terms of the alliance successfully, securing the greatest benefits for the Lin Family.

Knowing those terms, he realized they were indeed very important and advantageous to the Lin Family.

And these were the things he hadn’t anticipated.

However, on the whole, every term served the Lin Family, after all, the family wasn’t offering support for nothing; they naturally didn’t have to be shy about securing the benefits they deserved from the stronger Myriad Medicine Valley.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming felt at peace, and saw nothing inappropriate in the Lin Family’s demands.

With the matter of the alliance communicated to Lin Tianming, he also learned of the family’s arrangements for him. They wanted him to depart within half a month to render aid to the Myriad Medicine Valley Sect Gate within the set deadline.

To this, Lin Tianming had no objections and decided to set off after a few days of rest.

Right after this, Lin Shikang and the others’ faces lit up with joy as they brought up the story of Lin Shilu’s successful transcendence of the Threefold Lightning Tribulation.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Tianming was overjoyed.

He had been back to the family for only an hour and hadn’t had the chance to inquire about Lin Shilu’s progress in seclusion, yet unexpectedly, Lin Shilu had already entered the Golden Core Stage.

For him, such good news was a tremendous cause for celebration.

He knew that his bond with Lin Shilu was not merely because they were both Lin Family members.

Throughout the decades he had embarked on the cultivation path, Lin Shilu had been both a teacher and friend, not only imparting much guidance in cultivation but also often forging artifacts for him.

Furthermore, the two had fought side by side countless times over the years, facing numerous perilous situations together.

For him, Lin Shilu was both a senior family member and a guide on the Path of Immortality, a person of distinguished service.

Now that Lin Shilu had also reached the Golden Core Stage, his heart, which had been in a state of suspense, was finally put to rest.

After chatting idly for a while and sharing their joy,
Lin Shikang also mentioned the spoils from the slaying of Xu Zhi.

To this, Lin Tianming straightforwardly expressed that he had no need for those and that everything should be distributed by Lin Shikang.

Besides this, Lin Tianming also took out numerous storage bags and handed them over to Lin Shihua.

These items were the spoils from the Qingyun Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivators, as well as a good portion of Meng Qingfeng’s assets, all turned over to the family.

He only kept those treasures that were useful to him. Items of the Second Order, unless they were extremely rare, he no longer needed them.

But what he did not need could still be of great use to those Foundation Establishment Clansmen of the family.

Regarding the spoils that Lin Tianming turned in, Lin Shihua and the others tried to convince him otherwise.

But given Lin Tianming’s significant wealth and his insistent attitude, Lin Shihua gave up.

However, when it came to the matter of turning in Xu Zhi’s Longsword Treasure, Lin Shikang immediately refused without any room for negotiation.

In his eyes, Lin Tianming’s combat power and potential were beyond comparison with any other member of the Lin Family.

Furthermore, Lin Tianming was to be the first to head to Myriad Medicine Valley to join a battle of the ages.

In the midst of a fray filled with Golden Core Cultivators, how could he exhibit his fighting prowess without his most handy Magical Treasure?

If anything were to happen to him, wouldn’t the Lin Family’s painstaking efforts over the years crumble?

Aware of this significance, Lin Shikang gave no opportunity to Lin Tianming for any objections, declaring that if he insisted, he would never accept anything from Lin Tianming again.

Faced with Lin Shikang’s resolute stance, and after some persuasion from Lin Shihua, Lin Tianming felt helpless and had to let the matter go.

This attitude from the elders made him feel sincerely happy.
