Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Lin Tianfeng and the others nodded their heads, showing expressions of having gained much benefit.

Having never left the Luoyun Mountain Range before, they listened to these situations and finally gained a better understanding of the outside world.

Soon after, Lin Tianming also asked:

"Fifteenth Grandfather, from what you said, if there are no rules or order, doesn't that mean the major forces can attack each other?"

Lin Tianfeng echoed the sentiment.

"Exactly, in that case, won't major forces fight each other bloody over resources? Yet up to now, we haven't heard much news about Golden Core forces being exterminated?"

Lin Shilu's expression remained calm as he began to explain again.

"You are not aware of this; even though Qingzhou's surface lacks explicit rules and order, for powers above Golden Core, the ties are too great. Pull one hair and the whole body is affected; they do not easily engage in large-scale warfare."

"It is said that among the Human Race's supreme powerhouses, those at the Divinity Transformation Stage have reached an agreement. Forces above Golden Core should not easily strike against each other to avoid the loss of the high-order combat power of the Human Race."

"Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouses? An unspoken pact among the peak powerhouses of the Human Race?" Lin Tianming exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Shilu nodded, then said:

"It's only said, whether it is true or false, I, with my limited perspective, cannot clarify."

"As for struggles between the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Families, for those Nascent Soul Cultivators standing at the peak of the Human Race, it's nothing more than trivial scuffles, not worth mentioning."

"Even if a life-and-death battle occurs, costing a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, low-order cultivators are merely a drop in the ocean when it comes to the overall strength of the Human Race. What truly decides the fate of the Human Race are those powerhouses above the stage of Nascent Soul cultivation."

"And the Golden Core forces will not engage in major conflicts over small profits, unless it's for a huge opportunity."

Lin Tianming, hearing Lin Shilu's words, also found his explanation quite acceptable.

Upon reflection, if there truly were no limits to rules, wouldn't it mean one could act recklessly, stripping away the layers, and what chance would those Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment families have to survive?

Although there are such underlying rules on the surface, the territories of the Human Race are vast with numerous domains. In places like Qingzhou, overt and covert struggles never cease, and in the vast Cultivation World, even the destruction of Golden Core forces wouldn't create much ripple.

Looking at it this way, the Cultivation World is still a place where strength is supreme and interests are paramount. Even Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouses would fight fiercely over transcendent resources; this, he had long seen very clearly.

Seeing that Lin Tianming seemed to have grasped the concept, Lin Shilu was very pleased and then said:

"You need not be too pessimistic. Although Qingzhou is chaotic and the rules are not perfect, it is much better compared to a thousand years ago. Moreover, among the Three Great Sects of Wei Kingdom and other Golden Core families, there hasn't been large scale slaughter, and the overall state of Wei Kingdom is relatively stable."

"As for the Foundation Establishing Families of the Hengyang and Luoyang Mountain Ranges which are closer to our territory, there will be numerous interactions in the future. As for each family, just be careful and cautious. And as for Golden Core forces, we're not yet at a level to provoke them, just keep a low profile, avoiding trouble where possible but not fearing it, do you understand?"

Lin Shilu's expression was serious, as he earnestly cautioned them.

Lin Tianming and the others clasped their fists and replied in unison:

"Rest assured, Fifteenth Grandfather, we will definitely be careful and cautious, we won't casually offend other forces!"

Hearing Lin Tianming and the others' responses, Lin Shilu nodded, then no longer spoke, starting to rest with his eyes closed.

The group also discreetly refrained from asking further questions and each began to meditate and cultivate.

Lin Tianming sat on the back of the Purple Gold Eagle, surveying the rapidly passing scenery, deep in thought about something.

Flying northward, they crossed over numerous lofty mountains and ridges, drawing ever closer to Qianchuan Market.

Ten days passed quickly; the Purple Gold Eagle flew high in the sky, crossing the edge of the Hengyang and Luoyang Mountain Ranges.

They encountered very few other cultivators along the way and finally arrived at the outskirts of Qianchuan Market on the tenth day.

In a valley a few dozen miles from the market, Lin Tianming and the others landed on a small hill.

After stowing the Purple Gold Eagle in the Spirit Beast Bag and taking a brief rest, the group of six altered their appearances and began sword flight towards the gate of Qianchuan Market.

Along the way, the ever-cautious Lin Shilu once again gave some final reminders as they approached the entrance to the market, finally stopping his chatter.

Lin Tianming was very aware that their task of permanently staying in the market was far from trivial; to gain a foothold in the intricate Qianchuan Market was no easy feat. Should they encroach on the interests of other forces, it was inevitable that some incidents would occur.

And leading Lin Tianfeng and the others, he also had to be mindful of their safety. As such, both he and Lin Shilu faced no small amount of pressure.

Seeing Lin Tianming's expression grow somewhat serious, Lin Shilu transmitted a comforting message:

"When the soldiers arrive, block them, when the water comes, cover it with earth. If worst comes to worst, we can abandon this plan; there's no need to be too tense!"

Lin Tianming smiled knowingly and gave Lin Shilu a comforting look.

Outside Qianchuan Market, the group of six flew on their swords, gazing at the vast city in the distance. Even for Lin Tianming, who was visiting for the second time, the sight was still somewhat shocking.

For Lin Tianfeng and the others, who were visiting the largest market in the southern Wei Kingdom for the first time, the sight of the buildings reaching into the clouds brought a look of excitement to their faces.

The group flew close to the market entrance, then proceeded on foot toward the bustling city, where many cultivators still queued up for entry even as dusk approached.

Lin Shilu led the group forward, simply following in line behind the others.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lin Shilu paid the full amount of spirit stones, and they entered the city without issue.

Inside, Lin Shilu led the group down the wide bluestone paved roads.

As they walked past the bustling scenes along the way, Lin Tianfeng and the others glanced around, taking in the charm of a medium-sized market.

In no time, they reached the North District of the market, where cave abodes were for rent.

Looking at the bluestone attic in front of them, Lin Shilu spoke up:

"We'll rent a temporary cave abode today, so that we can settle down. Once the shop matters are finalized, we will then move to a longer-term, stable residence!"

Lin Tianming and the others naturally had no objections. After a brief discussion, Lin Shilu stepped inside, with everyone following suit.

Upon entering the hall, the receptionist, a Seventh Level of Qi Refinement cultivator, sensing the aura Lin Shilu faintly exuded, hurried over respectfully and asked:

"Senior, are you here to rent a cave abode? Allow me to introduce our offerings first."

Lin Shilu nodded, and the receptionist pointed at the light screen in front of them, patiently starting his introduction.

Shortly after, Lin Shilu pointed to a spot flickering with green light and inquired about the price.

The receptionist's face lit up with joy, and he began to explain eagerly.

"Senior has a good eye. This cave abode is of the Second Order, brimming with spiritual energy. It includes several practice rooms and a pill refining room. It's located in a rather secluded spot and has just become available. It can be yours for three months at the cost of just sixty spirit stones!"

"Let's take this one then, lease it for three months!"

Lin Shilu nodded in agreement and then took out the spirit stones to hand to the receptionist.

The receptionist accepted the spirit stones and then produced a book. He infused it with a law decree, and the green light on the screen turned red.

Having completed these tasks, he respectfully handed over a golden token, the key to the temporary cave abode.

"Senior, please take your time. When the rental period is nearing its end, you may come here to switch places or extend the lease!"

Taking the golden token, Lin Shilu and the others left the hall and headed towards the temporary cave abode in the North District.

In a short while, the group arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.

Lin Shilu took out the token and cast a law decree, causing a light screen to appear out of thin air, and then led everyone inside.

Entering the courtyard, they felt the abundant spiritual energy that was almost comparable to that on the Summit of Green Bamboo Mountain, and Lin Tianfeng and the others became quite emotional.

Lin Shilu swept the entire cave abode with his divine sense to ensure safety, then said:

"After more than ten days of travel, everyone is tired. Let's rest early today and discuss our next moves tomorrow morning!"

"As you command!"

The group answered in unison and then each chose a room within the cave abode to rest.

Lin Tianming found a room deep inside the cave abode, entered, and lay down on a bed crafted from jade. Soon, fatigue set in, and he quickly fell asleep.
