Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

The next morning, just outside Qianchuan Market, a fiery red morning glow hung suspended in the azure sky, brushed by a light breeze that spoke of endless beauty.

Lin Tianming and his companion left the market and, after flying on their swords for more than ten miles, stopped atop a small mountain.

Releasing the Purple Gold Eagle from the Spirit Beast Bag, it had grown significantly larger over the past half-year.

With the Beast Spirit Pill, the Purple Gold Eagle rapidly grew with the help of the monthly elixirs.

Taking a Beast Spirit Pill from his storage bag and tossing it to the Purple Gold Eagle, it caught it in one bite and swallowed, lets out a joyous screech, and affectionately nuzzled Lin Tianming with its massive head, looking quite eager to please.

"Alright, stop fussing, we need to get on our way!"

Lin Tianming and his companion mounted the back of the Purple Gold Eagle, which swiftly ascended hundreds of feet into the air and streaked away as a beam of light, flying south.

Having Lin Shilu accompany him made the journey much easier for Lin Tianming, who sat on the back of the Purple Gold Eagle, enjoying the scenery along the way, quite content.

Following their previous route and with the familiarity of the path, the journey went smoothly. Coupled with the increased speed of the Purple Gold Eagle's flight, they arrived near Green Bamboo Mountain in just half a month.

Looking at the Peak of Green Bamboo Mountain in the distance, Lin Tianming felt a surge of excitement. Having been away for half a year, he deeply missed his clan.

Wondering whether his grandfather had successfully established his foundation, with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, the two humans and one beast plunged into the Protective Clan Formation and disappeared.

Once inside the Protective Clan Formation, Lin Shilu finally let out a sigh of relief!

"Tianming, you go back first. Tomorrow, come to the Clan Elders' Assembly with your grandfather. We have matters to discuss."

"Yes."

Lin Tianming bowed his hands in a salute and flew towards the mountainside.

Watching Lin Tianming's retreating figure, Lin Shilu was very pleased.

This child is meticulous in thought, exceptional in talent, and extraordinary in fate; truly a promising individual!

Lin Shilu did not linger any longer and vanished from the spot.

Lin Tianming did not return to his own small courtyard but headed straight to the Alchemy Hall to check on his grandfather's breakthrough.

Outside the Alchemy Hall, Lin Tianming chanced upon Lin Tianhong, who was just coming out.

Lin Tianming greeted him, "Tianming pays his respects to Second Brother!"

"Sixth Brother, it's been a while. You're finally back!"

The two of them had studied alchemy together, and it had been nearly two years since they had last seen each other.

Lin Tianhong had also progressed from the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement to the Fifth Level, a significant improvement.

"Second Brother, is Grandfather inside?"

"Ninth Grandpa is inside. I've just come out from seeing him; he happens to be free right now. You've been away for so long, I won't disturb you further. Go on in."

"Then I shall go inside, and we'll catch up another day!"

"Sure, we brothers have all been deeply immersed in our own cultivation for several years; we haven't gathered for quite some time. One day soon, let's call First Brother and Third Sister to join us for a proper reunion."

After parting from Lin Tianhong, he turned and walked into the great hall.

Walking into the main hall of the Alchemy Hall, Lin Shigong was already seated inside, waiting for Lin Tianming.

Reunited with his grandfather after many months, Lin Shigong's appearance had drastically changed. The once predominantly gray hair was now nowhere to be seen, replaced by a head of jet-black hair, giving him the appearance of a middle-aged man.

```

After a cultivator has successfully completed Foundation Establishment, they can live for more than two hundred and fifty years, and at this time Lin Shigong was less than a hundred years old, indeed still considered a middle-aged man.

Having confirmed that grandfather had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, Lin Tianming was extremely excited.

Not only does the Lin Family gain another Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, but it is also very likely to gain a Second Order Alchemist.

Lin Shigong's alchemy had been stagnating at the superior grade of First Order for dozens of years; if it hadn't been for the barrier in his cultivation, he would probably have advanced to Second Order long ago. Now that his cultivation has broken through, becoming a Second Order Alchemist should just be a matter of time.

After calming his excited emotions, Lin Tianming began to offer his congratulations.

"Congratulations to grandfather on entering the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Lin Shigong was also very happy at this time. A few years ago, he had thought that he was doomed to never succeed in Foundation Establishment, and he really didn't expect to have even a sliver of chance, truly a testament to the unpredictable nature of life.

"Hmph, I was fortunate to succeed in Foundation Establishment. This time, I really owe it to you. My twelfth brother and I have succeeded, but it's a pity for the fifth brother..."

Seeing the look of regret on Lin Shilu's face, Lin Tianming knew that Lin Shiji had failed in Foundation Establishment.

"Grandfather, the foundation of our family is really too weak. Many of our clan members have wasted decades for nothing, otherwise they wouldn't be attempting Foundation Establishment at the age of a hundred. There's nothing that can be done about it!"

"That's true. Before us, there were several clan members who exhausted their lifespan without even obtaining the spiritual objects to assist in Foundation Establishment. Their forced breakthrough attempts also weren't successful. Compared to them, we're actually quite lucky."

After being comforted by Lin Tianming, Lin Shigong felt somewhat better and then asked Lin Tianming about his experiences in Qianchuan Market.

Then, Lin Tianming set up a restrictive spell and began to recount his experiences over the past half year to Lin Shigong.

"To have actually obtained twelve Minor Foundation Building Pills this time!"

Lin Shigong was stunned, his face flushing with waves of red. If he didn't know his grandson so well, he almost wouldn't dare to believe it.

"I didn't expect that Ye Pinghai would truly be a person worth befriending. We are really indebted to him this time. Otherwise, our family would have had to expend great effort at much higher risk, and it would have been very difficult to obtain such a number of Minor Foundation Building Pills."

Lin Tianming also expressed his gratitude:

"Senior Ye indeed gave his all to help. He not only assisted with alchemy, but he also taught me a lot. Now my skills in alchemy have improved greatly, and I am able to produce common First Order Superior Grade elixirs, with both a high success rate and yield."

Before coming back, I decided it's still best not to reveal the secret of the Eye of Five Colors. This matter is too important and must be approached with caution; it's better not to let the old man know.

"Good, good, you really haven't disappointed me. The thing I am proudest of in my life is you. Continue working hard, and strive to surpass our ancestors as soon as possible."

"Yes, grandson will definitely work hard!"

"Grandfather, I bid on a secret technique at the auction in Qianchuan Market. Please take a look at it."

Hearing this, Lin Shigong became even more excited, half doubtingly asking:

"You also bid on a Spirit Art?"

Lin Tianming nodded, retrieved the Secret Art Jade Tube from his storage bag, and handed it over to Lin Shigong for inspection.

After a quarter of an hour, Lin Shigong's face slowly returned to its normal color from the excitement.

"What a pity, a pity!"

"It's only the upper half. No wonder it was up for auction. Trying to find the lower half is undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack, but that's not to say there's no hope. If it's real, then we've made a huge profit. Even if it's a fake, losing some Spirit Stones is no big deal."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"We should not reveal this secret technique to the other clan members for now. I'll discuss it with your third uncle and the others. We can only search for it in secret. If we can find it, it would be a great fortune for our Lin Family, but if we can't, then let it be."

Lin Tianming readily agreed. Lin Shilu had already exhorted him on this, so he naturally wouldn't speak of it to others.

The two talked for a full hour until they finally left the Alchemy Hall together and returned to their own small courtyard.
