Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

At the dawn of the next day.

In the temporarily rented Cave Mansion Courtyard, Lin Tianming and his group of six people sat around a stone table. After a night of rest, their fatigue from the past ten-plus days had completely vanished.

Lin Shilu sat in the seat of honor, scanning over everyone before opening his mouth to speak;

"Now that we've arrived at Qianchuan Market, it's time to discuss our next steps. If anyone has suggestions or advice, feel free to speak up."

After he finished speaking, the clan members remained silent, and Lin Tianming also fell into deep thought.

A dozen or so breaths later, seeing that everyone was staring blankly at one another, remaining silent, the atmosphere turned somewhat awkward, Lin Tianming finally spoke leisurely;

"Fifteenth Grandfather, since we are new here, with no connections and unclear about the market's operations, acting rashly will likely lead us down many wrong paths."

Lin Tianfeng, sitting beside him, nodded in agreement, and the others also looked at him expectantly.

Seeing the expressions of everyone, Lin Tianming didn't delay any further, continuing to share his thoughts.

"We shouldn't be too hasty in renting a shop. We'd better walk around the market to gauge the flow of customers in the business district, as well as the situation with our competitors. Gathering information before starting our business would be the more prudent approach. What do you all think?"

Before his words could fall, Lin Xingli, with a surprised expression, added;

"Tianming, your words make sense. Acting hastily will lead to many detours. Plus, we aren't familiar with the basic situation of the market, which can easily encroach on the interests of other forces. Even though we're here to do business, there's still fear of others employing underhanded tactics."

"Being cautious and gathering more information will definitely not be wrong, and it could help us avoid many unnecessary troubles. We're just here to do business, so it's best to be as stable as possible."

After Lin Tianhong added a sentence, Lin Shilu nodded thoughtfully, a relieved look appeared on his face. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

In truth, he had simply asked casually, gauging the adaptability and abilities of the younger clan members.

Coming to Qianchuan Market, he had brought these clan members along to act. He had no doubt about Lin Tianming's abilities, but since they would be in seclusion for the long term, and he didn't want Lin Tianming to be entangled in worldly matters, managing the market store would need to be left to others.

Fortunately, the accompanying clan members didn't act rashly to seek quick success. Their cautious attitudes would serve them well anywhere.

Gathering his thoughts, Lin Shilu instructed;

"You all have spoken well. This matter should indeed not be rushed. In the coming days, feel free to walk around the market and collect information. We'll discuss it further in a few days before making a decision."

"Be careful when you go out, and don't invite trouble." Lin Shilu advised loudly.

The others nodded in agreement and then left the courtyard together, leaving only Lin Tianming behind.

"Tianming, I've sent a message to Daoist Ye. Tonight, accompany this old man to the Yuxi Restaurant to meet an old friend."

Hearing Lin Shilu's instructions, Lin Tianming naturally wouldn't refuse and agreed on the spot.

Lin Tianming had already anticipated the purpose of this trip.

For the clan to gain a foothold in Qianchuan Market, it was possible to consult Ye Pinghai, who had been living there for decades and was also a Second Order Alchemist. Maybe he could provide some guidance.

Seeing that he understood, Lin Shilu nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Tianming also stood up and cupped his fists, ready to go out for a stroll and casually gather some news.

Once out of the residential area, Lin Tianming walked on the broad streets, his mind racing with thoughts.

When it came to where to find the most informed news in the entire market, naturally, it would be venues like restaurants and tea houses. Some cultivators, while drinking and tasting tea, also liked to gossip about the situations of various powers. If he took a tour around these places, he might gain something valuable.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming headed toward the West District of the market.

A quarter of an hour passed, and he crossed several streets and plazas, arriving at the commercial district of the market.

In the early hours, the marketplace was bustling with activity as crowds of cultivators shuttled between shops.

Lin Tianming continued deeper into the market, observing the shops along the street, memorizing their names, and when he encountered some selling elixirs and Spiritual Artifacts, he would browse and also buy a few elixirs to assess their alchemy skill level.

Before he knew it, half a day had passed. He had visited the entire commercial district of the market and obtained quite a bit of useful information.

As he calculated, in the entire West District of the market, there were at least over twenty big shops and nearly a hundred smaller ones that sold Second Order Spiritual Items. Almost every few dozen meters, there would be one or two shops, and near the plaza in the much-coveted area, the shops were even more densely packed.

Looking at this situation, the competition was truly extraordinary.

Putting this information aside, he soon reached the front of a tower.

Looking up, he saw a three-story building occupying a not-so-small space, with "Yuxi Restaurant" engraved on the signboard at the entrance.

Opposite it, there were several even larger restaurants, not only bigger in size but also seemingly higher in rank than Yuxi Restaurant.

During the noontime, a large number of cultivators entered the restaurant. That's when Lin Tianfeng and Lin Tianhong quietly appeared in front of him.

Lin Tianfeng spoke with a smile;

"Little Sixth, it seems we have similar thoughts. Since we've run into each other, let's have a meal together; it's a good opportunity to gather some news."

Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised, not expecting this coincidence, but since Lin Tianfeng suggested it, he naturally wouldn't object.
